Chapter 257: Pearl Blue (Part II)

Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wanted to borrow Yu Yan's hand to take Yu Qi's group. I really didn't expect the big grandma to come out halfway.

It was a surprise.

At the same time, the Cao family was also very angry, didn't she support this grandmother to have today? It took so much effort to transfer her away from Jinghua Xie, and she married into Dongfu in such a high-profile manner, she couldn't understand the situation, and she actually stood up for Yu Qi!

It's so infuriating and hateful! Cao Shi gritted his teeth, and finally had to show a smile on his face again.

At that moment, the eldest grandmother was talking, and she picked up pearls on the ground, and after picking them up, she walked to Zhuang Yu and handed the pearls to her.

Zhuang Yu's eyes showed a little timidity, it was not good if he didn't take it, and he was afraid that the Qin family would blame him if he did. Because he thought that Mr. Yao had also saved his mother's aunt before, he hesitated to take it and looked at it for a while.

The eldest grandmother smiled: "Fourth girl, you can also come and see." Yes, right? ”

The fifth girl came over in confusion, looked at it once, blinked her eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law has a good memory." I still remember the pearls of the fourth sister. At the beginning, the bracelet that the fourth sister gave to Sister Qi was twenty agarwood incense seeds, plus four pearls. Look, it's like it! ”

The eldest grandmother's eyes softly praised Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu said "um", handed it back to the eldest grandmother, and said, "Sister-in-law has so many." ”

This may sound vague, but it already indicates that it is something in the East Mansion.

The matter should be over here, but he still said: "Even if I am wrong, even if it is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the eldest grandmother, I want to ask, in the evening, why did Zisu instigate the third master to call people, and why did Mr. go back to Xifu when he went to the thatched house?" How did Mr. go back to the thatched house in Xifu to go up to the Phoenix Pavilion? Why did Sanxi come out of the Phoenix Pavilion with Mr. when he was sick? Could it be that Sanxi also went to Xifu to go to the thatched house? Could it be that Sanxi and Mr. ......"

He was aggressive and vowed not to give up. The county lord couldn't bear it, and the Cao family was even more afraid that she would come out and say that she was going to take Sanxi, so the two of them ate and drank in unison: "Shut up!" ”

Suddenly, he looked up at the county lord, and then at the Cao family.

Cao hurriedly said: "Mid-Autumn Festival, what thatched house is not thatched." Don't talk about that! Since the eldest grandmother said that she gave it to her, there is no such thing as stealing or stealing. He greeted the old lady and said, "Old lady, it's all my fault." I think this girl stole some fruit wine, and her brain was drunk for a while. For her sake, and so dedicated, let her go back first! ”

The county lord said: "Second Mrs. Xie, I mean the same thing." Motioning to the butler, "Take it down." ”

The old lady motioned for this to be done.

The result was unexpected, and everyone laughed and said some auspicious words to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The old man is the most embarrassed, after all, he wronged Mr. Yao!

Because it was Mr. Yao who was invited by Xifu to come to diagnose and treat Zhuang Jue, at this moment, the third master of Xifu had the worst face, dark and calm, looked at the county lord very dissatisfied, turned his head to the old lady, and then turned to Mr. Yao and bowed deeply: "The people below are rude, they are offended, Mr. Wanwang forgives." ”

Mr. Yao returned the salute: "Don't dare, it's just a misunderstanding." ”

The eldest master Zhuang Xi, the second master Zhuang Lu, and the fourth master Zhuang Yao got up one after another, several masters walked over, one took Mr. Yao's hand, one person made a lead, one person smiled and apologized, and the third master Zhuang Qin continued to ask: "Sir, please take a seat." I'll apologize to my husband. ”

Mr. Yao was almost pushed to the table by a crowd. Zhu'er was quick-eyed, and he had already brought a chair and put it at the bottom, right to the old lady.

After Mr. took a seat, the old lady politely returned and took the cup to respect, but Mr. Yao didn't dare to take it, so he got up and did it first to pay respect. Later, the old men apologized, the wives apologized, the young masters apologized, the girls picked up, the wine went through several rounds, and the gentleman pretended to smoke slightly.

You know, Mr. Yao is a person who sleeps with wine, how can such a light wine and sweetness get him drunk. Just to cover up, so that I can get out of the scene.

When Yu Qi saw Mr. smoking, he thought he was really drunk, and hurriedly brought a cup of tea. Before it was served in front of him, the Cao family had already sent Gui Yuan to bring a bowl of bird's nest soup.

Cao said: "Originally, we shouldn't have poured Mr. so much wine. I have to invite Mr. to eat a snack and then eat something else, this time it's okay, and I'm drunk. Make up for it first. ”

This is the way of hospitality in the big house, in order to show wealth, ordinary hospitality, dishes and foods one by one, first what tea, snacks, side dishes, and then hot dishes, big dishes and so on. This time, Cao remembered that he was afraid of treating others badly.

Aunt Yu smiled and said: "Mrs. said that she was laughing, she was drunk, and she could make up for it, so that she could be sober?" ”

Cao said: "What I said about making up is to make up for the disrespectful places in front of me." Mr. Touxian has never touched the chopsticks and spoons, and now he has made up for it. ”

At this point, the whole table burst into laughter. It is said that when my aunt says "drunk, drunk", she means "sin, sin, sin".

Therefore, all the unpleasantness has just been dispelled.

The old lady also felt embarrassed to be so drugged, so she said, "Mr. still wants to go back today?" If you don't go back, I will send someone to clean up the room for my husband, and simply stop in our middle house. ”

Mr. Yao replied drunkenly: "Come and bother for a few days, I want to go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can I settle down elsewhere to occupy other people's moons." How offended, thank you. ”

Seeing that Mr. Yao was so insistent, the old lady gave the third master a look. The third old man understood and called the housekeeper, who understood, so he quickly picked up his robe and walked out, called a few little slaves, and said that he was going to send the gentleman back. Zhuang Qin was polite, and ordered Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Jue to help Mr. go out.

Zhuang Pu said: "You eat well, I'll help Mr. out." He called his personal servant Wangwu and Caitong to him, and Mr. Jia Fu walked outside with the housekeeper.

Zisu watched Mr. Yao being caught and left, and when he saw the right time, he urged Sanxi to follow quietly. In the blink of an eye, the two also followed outside. Zi Su is far from being called Zhuang Pu.

Zi Su said: "Second Master Pu! Wait a minute. ”

Zhuang Pu heard the voice, paused for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw Zisu and Sanxi walking out tremblingly.

Zisu said: "Second master, let Sanxi go out together!" ”

Zhuang Pu narrowed his eyes and sneered: "The carriage is small and can't fit two people." If Sanxi wants to go, Mr. has to stay, and if Mr. leaves, Sanxi can't go up. If you don't live in the house, follow your husband to do something, save people trouble. ”

Zisu couldn't hold back his anger and said, "Doesn't this need to be treated by Mr.?" ”

Zhuang Pu said: "If I were you, don't make trouble for this." Make this a fuss tonight, don't look at the hee-hee-ha and pass again. After careful care, a bunch of troubles are looking for you, you don't care about yourself, and you care about others. Besides, Sanxi is at Sister Xie Qi of Jinghua, so I'm afraid I won't have to take care of it? Mr. Ming'er still has to come. I'll be a reminder, keep it a little interesting, don't me off. Mr. is a guest, I, Mr. Gu, who are you? If you want to go, you have to walk in the dark, and I won't stop anyone. ”

Let's let Wang Wu and Caitong hurry up and help Mr. Yao go.

Zisu listened to Zhuang Pu's words, she was ashamed and angry, and when she had no choice but to ask Mr. Yao for help.

Mr. Yao looked drunk, of course he heard Zhuang Pu's words, and felt that Zhuang Pu was reasonable. At this moment, Zisu shouldn't have another incident, after all, the old lady and others deliberately pressed this matter not to make trouble. So, he drunkenly raised his hand and waved it to Zisu, signaling to stop.

Watching Mr. Yao leave, Sanxi said aggrievedly: "Miss Su, Mr. doesn't want us anymore." Let's go back to the girl! ”

Zisu stomped his feet and said, "This second master Pu has a pointer with me, and I have already seen that I am not pleasing to the eye." If you don't go, don't go! Grabbed Sanxi and went inside, but he didn't go into the compound, and turned his head to thank Jinghua.

Sanxi said: "I'm going to see the girl." ”

Zisu said: "Confused! I can't hide from this time, so let's go! Listen to me, let's get back to the mirror. When the girl is finished, the girl will come back. ”

Regardless of whether Sanxi was willing or not, he violently pulled her into the door of the Mirror Flower Xie Courtyard. returned to Jinghua Xie, settled Sanxi properly, and asked her how she came out of the ground, why didn't the ghost mother follow? Sanxi said in a daze, the preface did not match the afterword, Zi Su knew that her head was not clear, and it was not difficult for her, let her rest first.

Before leaving, remembering the pearls in the brocade box, Zisu asked Sanxi again: "Where did this thing come from?" ”

Sanxi said: "Mom gave it." ”

Finally knowing the source, Zisu didn't stay anymore, and hurriedly pushed Sanxi back to her previous house to rest. Later, Zisu returned to the banquet to serve Yu Qi.

Suddenly, Pinghu was slightly fluctuating, and there were still people who were taboo to talk at the beginning, and they slowly let go, as if it had never happened. Wine and rice are abundant, the old lady signaled to remove the table, brought the incense ding, held the moon cakes, snacks and fruits, and the family surrounded the moon and laughed. Because of the marriage between Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Xuan, the lantern riddles prepared at the beginning were not allowed to be played. Zhuang Jue felt that what the elders said was very boring, so he teamed up with his sisters and guessed to the side, not participating in the adults' topics.

At this end, Zhuang Ying and his sisters circled the lantern and turned word puzzles. That is, the puzzle is pasted on the lantern, and the person turns it, and whoever the puzzle paper is aimed at will uncover and guess the answer, and give a poem. It's going to be a bit of a mess.

At that end, the old lady presided over and discussed the marriage between Zhuang Xuan, the second girl of Beifu, and Tong Fu.

Zhuang Qian originally played lantern riddles with his sisters and brothers, but he was very displeased when he heard the old lady talk about himself, and his mind was all over there, for fear that he would be married off. Zhuang Yu was more cheerful, and seeing that Zhuang Ju was absent-minded, he deliberately pushed her and said, "Sister is from over there, go over there earlier." We have only puzzles on our side, not puzzles. My sister doesn't like to play, so she passed early. ”

These words made Zhuang Ju so ashamed that he couldn't stand there, his body twisted, and he really went over there, but before anyone arrived, he threw himself into the old lady's arms first, and said coquettishly: "The old lady is in charge, and someone can't tolerate me." ”

Saying that, Zhuang Xuan's tears were as if he didn't want money, seeing the second sister like this, Zhuang Yu and the other girls laughed, and continued to play the riddle game.

Zhuang Jue is a person who can do things, shouting that the puzzles are not fun, the preparation is too superficial, and the second sister is bored. Anyway, these lantern riddles are all handled by Zhuang Jue alone, and he will blame himself. His sister Zhuang Yu said: "It's not fun, then tear it up and start over." What's the fun of planning a good thing, why don't you plan one for each person, and just play seeing is believing, it's really exciting! No one knows what is out of whom, and no one knows who got whom, okay? ”

In this way, it is very much in line with everyone's wishes. After a few rounds of play, it was really better than the previous one.

When it was Yu Qi's turn to solve the puzzle, Yu Qi said that he would not, and said that he would come up with a poem for everyone to be right. Selfishly, Yu Qi wants to use this to play the words of the grandmother. So, when he said it, he specially hooked the eldest grandmother and reminded her.

The last sentence from Yu Qi is: "The east wind is broken, the joy is thin, and the bright moon hangs high." "Let's say that the next sentence should be a scene.

The sentence was written on a slip of paper, and she threw it at will, and whoever threw it picked up and responded. Of course, Yu Qi threw it in the face of the grandmother.

The eldest grandmother picked it up, looked at the words on it, and probably understood what Yu Qi meant, but pretended to be difficult.

Seeing this, Zhuang Jue said, "Why does my sister smash my sister-in-law, she should give it to me!" ”

Yu Qi said: "Brother blames me, you can't grab it yourself." ”

Zhuang Ying said: "We have received my sister's talent, but fortunately it didn't hit me." The third brother likes to take it, so he will go back for his sister-in-law. ”

Zhuang Jue smiled and wanted to grab it, but the grandmother accepted the note and said, "Since it is the rules, then follow the rules!" I can't answer neatly, I hope the girl won't blame. Please don't laugh at me. ”

For the rest, the grandmother replied: "The West Lake is cracked, the golden mountains are many, and the pearls are low and low." ”

Zhuang Ying clapped his hands, said that it was very appropriate, and said: "It's just that my sister-in-law is more far-fetched." The east wind to the West Lake, regardless of the meaning of the word, can also, but the joy is thin and the gold mountain is not compatible, fortunately the bright moon is on the pearl. But it's wonderful. ”

Yu Qi hung her head gently, and so did her grandmother. The two exchanged code words! How can they understand?

It just so happened that the fourth girl, Zhuang Yu, said with a smile: "The third brother will only protect Sister Qi, and he will laugh at his sister-in-law, this is not a duel between Xifu and Dongfu, I feel very uncomfortable to hear." If my brother can beat my sister-in-law in one sentence, I will obey you. Although the words of the sister-in-law are not very fair, the allusions in it are probably appropriate. The sister-in-law used the story of the water flooding the golden mountain and the white snake fighting method, and Sister Qi used an allusion technique, implying that Chang'e ran to the moon. A few words, not to mention the right fairness, the allusion behind it is not something that anyone can think of at once, and it is wonderful to respond to the Mid-Autumn Festival. My brother still said this, but he didn't know it. ”

Zhuang Yu spoke, Zhuang Yu suddenly realized, and hurriedly apologized to the eldest grandmother.

The eldest grandmother returned the salute, humbly and humbly gave a few times, in the literal sense, Zhuang Yu only appreciated one or two, and her words hid many meanings. Dismantled and looked at it, as it is: "West Lake Crack" means the things of the West Mansion, "Jin Shanman" means the North Mansion is coming, and "Pearl Low Flow" means that the water goes to a low place, where it can flow, and there is no need to care about it first. The topic is related to the pearl scatter.

Look at Yu Qi's sentence again, "Dongfeng Break" means that the East Mansion is involved for no reason, "Joy is thin" means that everyone in the house is hostile and intimate, and "the bright moon hangs high" does not emphasize what happened under the moon tonight? In response to the grandmother who came out to solve the siege, she said that "I miss my relatives every festival", and Mochizuki sighed.

These code words are only known to Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother. How do they understand it?

Yu Qi said politely: "I have an axe in my class, but I can't beat my sister-in-law, and when I have time, I will go to Dongfu to ask my sister-in-law for advice." ”

Here politely play a few more times, how much joy does not need to be detailed.

to the end.

The night dew gradually deepened, Zhuang Pu, who sent Mr. Medicine, also returned, after the moon passed in the middle of the day, the old lady was a little tired, and the lord of Sifu took advantage of the time to say that it was time to rest, and said that he would rush out to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival in the house tomorrow, and the old men of Beppu would also come and walk. So, the whole house dispersed happily.

It was rare to end the scene, Yu Qi and a group of people waited for the old lady to lie down, and then returned to the mirror with Zisu to thank him.

Entering the gate of the mirror flower Xie Courtyard, Zi Su knowingly closed the door to death. When he got inside, Yu Qi asked Sanxi to get up and speak. Zisu took the order, took a look, and came out to say that Sanxi was asleep.

Yu Qi replied and said, "That's it! He was nervous and took Zisu's hand and said, "How can this be?" ”

Zi Su said: "I was also an accident, I thought no one knew!" Fortunately, the ghost mother's mother didn't come out. ”

Yu Qi exclaimed: "I thought my mother was arrested by them!" Panicked me all night. Now that the three joys have passed the clear eye, the second wife of Beifu is afraid that she will not give up! Coincidentally, the box of pearls appeared again, how will Xifu look at us in the future? ”

Zisu smiled and said, "Fortunately, the old lady protects us." And that was the end of it. Don't be afraid that the Yin Cao of Beifu will come to find trouble! ”

Yu Qi shook his head and said annoyedly: "We are doing death!" Sister, you have to meet Mr. Yao tomorrow anyway, and ask him what to do next. I'm so upset now, I'm out of ideas, blame me for being in a hurry to get people out. ”

Zisu comforted: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of regretting." In other words, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. I've told you a long time ago, don't procrastinate, be soft-hearted. It's good now, it's such a fuss, I don't know how long it will have to be delayed. However, it is not impossible to make them restless. As long as Beifu dares to make trouble, we will tear their faces and fix them, and we will lose her. Also, it's not that we don't have helpers, look at the one in Dongfu who doesn't, finally say something. If the ghost mother doesn't come out, it's also a sharp sword in our hands. If we do it openly and secretly, what will we lose? Don't worry. ”

Yu Qi said: "Okay, where did you get that box of pearls?" ”

Zi Su said: "I almost didn't pay attention, and the dead girl stared at it, saying that we stole it." Let me tell you, Sanxi said that her mother gave it to her. How many treasures do you think, are buried under the Zhuangfu? What is it for Mom to take out such a little? I believe in the words of Sanxi. Fortunately, I was not tortured by the Zhuang people. Rejoice! I'm weird, the fifth girl said that the fourth girl used to give you a bracelet, and there is also this pearl, is it possible that the fourth girl also knows that the ghost mother mother is underground? Did the ghost mother send her? ”

Zisu said that these were naturally to comfort Yu Qi, but he knew in his heart that this matter involved people from several prefectures, and it was tricky! Yu Qi was upset, and she was also upset.

Sure enough, the next day, all kinds of incidents hit like a flood.
