Chapter Thirty-Eight: Jiamao House
Sanxi told the details of going to Beifu to ask for water, and Yu Qi did not appreciate it or blame him after knowing it.
Yu Qi considered the cause and effect, and meditated on waiting to be alone with Zisu later and talk to her well. Yu Qi was very worried in his heart, if he continued like this, he would make enemies, how would he act in the future?
Recently, Zhuang Jue hurriedly came to Jinghua Xie with interest, and brought a box of pastries, saying that he would not go back to eat dinner, and asked people to go back and tell the house that the old lady had left the meal, and was talking to Miss Qi at the moment. The pastry is a delicacy sent by Su Yuan's friend who came to Beijing from Suzhou, Su Yuan transferred half of it, and he brought it back and divided it into several copies, one to Shouzhongju, and another to return to Xifu to the county lord, leaving only one for Jinghua Xie. The county lord got the report, and hurriedly asked the girl Yuanqin to bring some dishes to Shouzhongju to take a look. Qia Zhuangyu had nothing to do at home, seeing that the second and third brothers were not at home, it was boring to eat with a few elders, so he quietly followed Yuanqin out. Halfway through, she thought that Yuanqin was ordered to go to Shouzhong Ju to call Zhuang Ying back to her home, so she told Yuanqin that she could call it herself, and let Yuanqin go back to her life, but in fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to play.
Although Yuan Qin was reluctant, she couldn't twist Zhuang Yu's temperament, and finally went back. Zhuang Yu carried the lantern by herself, and the two of them quickly arrived at the middle house, because she saw the lights in the middle of the house, she didn't want to meet the old lady's house, so she quietly jumped in from the corner of the side door.
When I went to the mirror, I saw Zhuang Jue comforting Yu Qi.
In this situation, it seems that Yu Qi is not happy, so he bluffs in. The crowd was taken aback by her.
Zhuang Yu put the food box aside, greeted Yu Qi, and said, "Sister Qi is better?" ”
Yu Qi nodded and coughed slightly. Zhuang Yu felt that Yu Jue's body was not well, so he made fun of Zhuang Jue and said: "The third brother saw that Sister Qi was not in good health, so he came to disturb and not say anything, and he laughed at people with his face like this. I had barely come in when I heard you chirping. He looked around at Sanxi, Zisu, and Huiyuan, all of whom were not as good as usual, and were a little tired and quiet, because he said: "I don't want to talk to you when everyone in the house is offended." ”
Zhuang Jue smiled: "If you don't look for me, Sister Yu will talk to me." What are you doing when you're still late? ”
Zhuang Yu said: "You take things back, and say that the old lady keeps food, I don't believe it." How can the old lady leave a meal without sending someone to say a word, it can be seen that you are lying. You'll know you're here. Mrs. still believes you, tell me to take the food to the old lady, I haven't gone yet. ”
Zhuang Jue said: "Just eat here, the old lady will not talk well for a while, I have something good to share with you." ”
Zhuang Yu's interest suddenly arose, and he urged Zhuang Yu: "Brother, let's hear it, what's a good thing?" ”
As he was talking, Ayu Qi walked in and saw that there were many people in the house, so he turned around and avoided it.
Zhuang Yu had already stepped forward to hold her: "Sister Yu, don't go, listen to my third brother say good things." ”
Ayu couldn't push it, so she went in, sat down with Zhuang Yu, and waited for Zhuang Yu to speak.
Zhuang Yu deliberately didn't say anything, put on a cold face, Zhuang Yu didn't follow, and pulled and shouted to say quickly. When the room saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Zhu'er's voice came from outside: "It seems that the girl is fine, but it is lively!" ”
In a blink of an eye, I saw Zhu'er come in with a smile, saluted everyone, and said to Zhuang Yu with a blank look: "The people outside are really right, the fifth girl is here." What does it mean to bypass Shouzhongju alone? Fortunately, the old lady doesn't know, otherwise you won't want to live in Shouzhong in the future. ”
Zhuang Yu was embarrassed to get up, got up and grabbed Zhu'er, and said, "Sister Zhu'er, I didn't mean it, but the laughter here is seductive." It's all to blame on the third brother! You've come just in time to hear him talk about good things. If he says something bad, let's all beat him together. ”
It made everyone laugh again. After that, Zhu'er said: "Don't laugh, it's time to eat now." The old lady ate some of the pastries given by the third master and said they were delicious. Since you are all here, I will go back to the old lady and go over and eat together. ”
After speaking, Zhu'er ignored Zhuang Jue's obstruction and left lightly, Zhuang Jue urged Zhuang Jue to say good things, Zhuang Jue said that he would stay with the old lady to say. After a while, Zhu'er came to invite. Everyone knew that they couldn't push it, so they had to live in the middle of the life to eat.
When he arrived at Shouzhongju, Zhuang Yu took the initiative to take the food box in Shi'er's hand, hurried in front of everyone to greet the old lady, presented the box, and said: "Mrs. knows that the old lady has delicious food here, so I am allowed to come and eat a meal, and prepare these early, so that I can come and lick the old lady's mouth." ”
The old lady smiled: "The mouth of the five girls can speak." Ordered Zhu'er to wait for the girl to take the box and take out the dishes. The old lady said again: "Like your second sister, she has a bold and fat heart, and she doesn't even need to open a mold when she makes up lies." You think I don't know if the bamboo girl doesn't say it. You two brothers and sisters are not raised by a father. The world went around in a circle, and the old lady was gone, and she went to the mirror alone. ”
Zhuang Yu shyly walked beside the old lady, helped her into her seat, and said, "The old lady blames us, and we are willing to listen." ”
The old lady slapped Zhuang Jue's forehead and said, "I only blame you, I am not allowed to bring your sister Qi, I like your sister the most in the house." ”
Right now, the meal was arranged, and because Ayu was a guest, the old lady asked Ayu to sit next to her.
During the banquet, Zhuang Jue said to the old lady: "Old lady, I don't have to go to school tomorrow, my husband has something to leave." said that he would not return until after the winter solstice. ”
The old lady was surprised: "Is there something at home sir?" I don't see your big sister talking about it, but you haven't been short of other people's money? He hurriedly called Mei'er to instruct: "Go and ask the eldest girl, Mr. Xueli is on leave, has he ever been short of people's wages?" If there is, give it to someone immediately, paste it three times, and pick up two pig's heads tomorrow to hang it red. Just say what I mean. ”
Zhuang Jue saw that Mei'er had gone, and said to the old lady on one side: "Old lady, Mr. really has family affairs. It's good to treat us, not because the big sister has less salary. ”
The old lady took a sip: "That is, you are naughty, you don't listen to Mr.'s teachings, and you provoke Mr. You should also beg Mr. to stay, kowtow. This will be a matter of joy, and it can be seen that you do not want to make progress all day long. ”
Zhuang Jue looked helpless after hearing this, raised his eyes to look at the others, and said, "Look, I said that when I came to the old lady, I must have said this." ”
The old lady said, "So, you deliberately avoided me." Well, I won't ask you in the future, so you can be happy. ”
Everyone thought that the old lady was angry, so they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't move their chopsticks.
Yu Qi smiled at the old lady and said, "The third brother is enterprising, and I often hear Fusheng say that the third master likes to talk to Su Yuan Beizi about learning. It's no wonder that Mr. Xueli has something to do for a while. Usually people don't have a few important things in the house. The third brother laughed with the old lady, and the old lady went to her heart. When I went back to his house, I was scolded by my wife again, I came and went, I was unhappy, and I was still angry, and I really didn't want to study in the future! ”
As he spoke, Yu Qi added soup to the old lady.
The old lady took the soup, was very happy, and praised Yu Qi and said: "It's the same mouth, you can see that the girl is as beautiful as a song in the sky, what you say is simply a curse in hell." ”
The atmosphere was relaxed, Zhuang Ying returned to his original state, and said with a smile: "Naturally, my sister can speak, so the old lady likes her so much." I can't talk to my fifth sister, and no one cares about talking to Jinghua Xie, and I was talked about when I came to Shouzhongju. ”
Everyone laughed.
Seeing that Ayu didn't move the chopsticks, the old lady beckoned: "Girl, why don't you move the chopsticks?" Do you feel that the food is not to your taste? ”
Ayu's eyes were slightly red, and she shook her head with a smile.
The old lady was surprised, put down the soup bowl in her hand, took Ayu's hand and said, "Tell me, who wronged you?" Girl, you are not afraid, as long as you dare to speak, I will give you anger. Then he turned his face around everyone and said, "Don't bully the guests? ”
Thinking of Mr. Guan, the old lady said again: "Why isn't Mr. Guan here?" ”
Zhuang Jue said: "Old lady, Sister Ayu is because Mr. Guan is not there. Who dared to bully her, she saved Sister Qi again. I can't thank you enough. ”
The old lady said, "That...... Is Mr. Kwan not wanting you anymore? "I'm even more concerned about Ayu.
Ayu smiled bitterly: "No." ”
The old lady chirped: "Men are all unkind, I see that your eyes are red, it must be for this." Mr. Guan is close to Pu'er, but most of them are unreliable. If you want me to say, girl, you take Mr. Guan to the house, don't get so close to Pu'er. lest they spoil him. ”
Ayu heard the old lady's concern, tears fell straight down, and said, "Mr. was invited by the government to ......"
The old lady smiled, "What do you say?" The government invited him to go, and he naturally appreciated him. I thought it was unkindness. See, my mouth is fast, and I want to comfort people, but I say something that slaps me in the face. The girl has to worry, maybe tomorrow you have a good errand, you can stay in Beijing, there are many sisters in this house, and you often have to come and go and be a companion. ”
The words stopped, and footsteps were heard outside. When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads and saw Zhuang Pu coming in.
Zhuang Pu didn't greet anyone, and picked up a pot of tea from the side table and poured it to his mouth. After that, Zhuang Pu moved a stool by himself, leaned on Zhuang Jue's side and sat down, and reached out to the girl behind him to ask for dishes and chopsticks as he spoke.
Zhuang Pu said: "I went to Jinghua Xie, I didn't see anyone, and I saw you talking." Come in and see it's true. Miss Ayu, when you're done eating, I'll talk to you later. ”
After Zhuang Pu finished speaking, he didn't care about others, and took the bowl and ate it violently.
Everyone was stunned by Zhuang Pu's eating appearance, and their eyes were all focused on him. During this period, Mei'er came back from Dongfu and replied that the husband in the school had taken leave and the eldest girl learned that there had never been a shortage of silver taels. After listening to the reply, the old lady was relieved, and then beckoned everyone to eat.
After the meal.
Zhuang Pu proposed to let Ayu go back to Xifu with him, saying that he would bring things for Mr. Guan. Ayu was overjoyed, thinking that this was the case, and readily agreed. Yu Qi also wanted to return to the mirror to thank him, and he also said goodbye on the grounds of taking medicine.
Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu had no other reason to leave, so they had to stay and talk to the old lady.
During this period, Zhuang Jue wanted to go to Jinghua Xie to see Yu Qi, looking for a convenient excuse to go, and quietly went out. Stay Zhuang Yu alone in Shouzhong. Because the county lord waited for no one to come back at night, he asked Yuanqin and other girls to pick up the lanterns, so Zhuang Yu returned to Xifu. The old lady went to bed without mentioning it.
Zhuang Jue found a way out and went to Jinghuaxie.
Go to the courtyard of Jinghua Xie, see a candle in the courtyard, Ayu and Zhuang Pu are discussing under the lamp, Sanxi and Huiyuan are serving with tea and pouring water on the side, but there are no Yu Qi and Zisu on the side.
Zhuang Jue was as naughty as ever, sneaking into the room from the grass and flowers in the shadows, so as to tease and scare Yu Qi.
But when I went to the bedroom, I heard Yu Qi and Zisu talking.
