Chapter 6: Countermeasures (II)

The people counted into the house.

Before Qin entered the door, he said, "I heard that the old lady was lecturing, let's listen to it too." ”

The old lady put down her glasses and smiled at Zhu'er: "They want to come to me to ask, and I am not a gentleman, so I provoked a lecturer." ”

The county lord said: "With how many teaching gentlemen he has, the scholars of Hallym University are not as knowledgeable as the old lady. ”

The old lady laughed, Qin took the tea from the girl's hand and offered it to her, she didn't drink it, and said: "Originally, I was going to listen to the play today, but it was too late last night, I'm afraid you will not be happy." Take a day off, and tomorrow you will start listening to the play for three days in a row. On the first day, I will first put it in the East Mansion, go to the West Mansion the next day, and then invite the family members of the guests who come to drink the birthday wine, which can be regarded as a gift for them to return to the stage......"

As soon as the words were finished, a voice floated in: "Ouch, the old lady is eccentric!" ”

I saw the Cao family from Beifu come in with the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh girls.

Cao continued: "It's just that we don't have Beifu, and others still think that our second master is not born to the old lady!" ”

The old lady smiled and said, "You see, you can't count the dots during the day, and you can count the opponents by counting." ”

Cao Shi didn't say anything, and said: "That's not that the old lady is partial, why sing and sing for three days, the east and west, the north and south mansions, and the north mansion is ranked behind, so it is simply saved." The daughter-in-law does not follow. ”

The old lady took a sip and said, "I feel good about your second master, I think I've farted." Let me ask you, your second master is busy with everything else, and you still want him to take care of a few more days of leisure? I will also make a fuss to your house. People can't hide, and you still posted it! ”

Cao Shi slapped his mouth lightly, and laughed again and again: "Oh, the old lady taught me a lesson!" Where is the daughter-in-law who thinks about the old lady! The daughter-in-law was wrong. ”

The old lady didn't follow up with the training, turned around and said to the Qin family: "Big lady, are you better?" He shouldn't have had a drink last night! ”

Qin replied: "There is a medicine rewarded by the third wife of the county lord, and it is better every day, but the medicine is not broken!" When I got better, I went outside to play. ”

The old lady was pleased to see the county lord, quite grateful, and sighed and said: "Then make more medicine for them, I know that the medicine is expensive, and there are Tianshan Snow Lotus and those polar insect medicines as an introduction, and you will lose your mother's house." ”

The county lord smiled slightly and said softly: "It's all a family, and they should take care of each other." ”

The old lady asked, "What about Pu'er and Ju'er?" ”

The county lord said: "Pu'er is a wild horse without reins, I can't control it, Ju'er has just gotten out of school and changed her clothes." ”

The old lady said, "I have something to give them, or let them pick their own later." Look at what you like, take it. ”

Qin Shi shirked: "Where is this, it is all a gift from someone else to the old lady to celebrate her birthday." ”

The old lady waved her hand, and then beckoned to Cao: "Second wife, you are not allowed to choose gold and silver, I can remind you." ”

The big guys all laughed, and Cao covered his mouth and smiled: "That old lady rewarded me for drawing children's words, and I will accept it too!." ”

The old lady quipped: "You think of fat, this is more valuable than gold and jewelry, but I will leave it to Xu'er, Pu'er, and Ju'er." Don't move! ”

Cao's heart was not happy to hear it, thinking that the old lady and everyone laughed at her, they even disliked her for worshipping money and silver, and the unhappiness in her heart was not shown on her face, and she pretended to follow everyone to laugh. Everyone tasted all kinds of treasures at the old lady's place, enjoyed for a while, and went to the yard to see the blooming moon season, and when it was time to hold the lamp, the old lady left a meal, urging people to call Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Di.

After Zhuang Jue got out of school, he made a Western clock in the room, and heard that the old lady was rewarding things, and he wanted to wait until he got the clock and watch before getting it, and he didn't want to go to the evening as soon as he got the scene. Where can Zhuang Pu be idle, he really ran to find the baby as soon as he slipped away. When the old lady's girl came to urge the meal again, he put down the clock. Zhuang Jue arrived at the old lady's house, and heard the concubines and concubines talking and laughing constantly, and couldn't bear to make a noise, so he tiptoed in, and just saw the girls coming with dishes and fruits, and he sent some food to his mouth.

The girl quipped: "Be careful that the wives see it, they can't spare you." ”

Zhuang Jue was also amiable, and did not care about the girl's subordinates, and said again and again: "Sister is not allowed to go." ”

The subordinates were obedient to the other masters, but they were not afraid of Zhuang Yuqin, and they came out with the words they came, saying: "If this is the case again, I can sue them, otherwise there will be a little less, the housekeeper, the second wife will see carefully, I will not have good fruit to eat." ”

The two of them talked as they walked, and they kept going into the hall.

There are two large round tables around the hall.

The old lady and the wife of the main room are at the same table, and the girls and the aunts are at the same table.

Zhuang Jue went in, and the old lady hurriedly beckoned: "Ju'er, sit here." ”

Zhuang Jue smiled and smiled, lowered his hand and bent over his shoulders to the old ladies and everyone: "Old lady*, ladies are safe." ”

The old lady couldn't see Zhuang Pu left and right, and asked, "Where is Pu'er?" ”

Zhuang Jue walked straight to the old lady, moved a chair and sat down, and said: "The second brother heard that the old lady was rewarding, so he insisted on asking Wu'er to take it to the warehouse, and said to pick it, but I said that the old lady was here, and he didn't believe it." ”

The old lady and the others laughed.

The old lady said, "Your second brother is stupid, no matter how smart he is, he won't run in vain." Tell me what new things I heard in the school today, and I have also seen and heard, so I borrowed a fun child to have fun, so that the food will be more fragrant. ”

Zhuang Ying scratched his head, opened his eyes wide, and said, "There is nothing new, Mr. Jin'er told the housekeeper Yuanxing." ”

The county lord wondered: "Why?" ”

Zhuang Jue said: "Mrs., you don't know, Mr. said that he specializes in reading crooked books." He burned the book on the spot and punished him for copying Mencius. ”

The old lady asked strangely, "I don't know what book I read, but Mr. punished him like this." ”

Zhuang Ying grinned: "I don't know much, Mr. didn't allow us to see it, and said it was extremely bad." I asked Yuan Xing, but he was afraid and didn't dare to say. I'll ask secretly another day and tell the old lady again. ”

The county lord whispered: "Still ask!" Mr. said it was not good, you still asked, but be careful that your big sister cleans you up. ”

Zhuang Jue fled into the old lady's arms in fright, and said with a deflated mouth: "I'm afraid of the big sister, and the big lady is willing to teach her kung fu. ”

The old lady couldn't stop laughing: "Look, I haven't made a mistake yet, let's find the protector first." ”

The county lord smiled: "The old lady is tired of him. ”

The girls brought the dishes up, and the eldest girl, Zhuang Hu, got up from the table, chose to take a plate of chicken breast and tender bamboo shoots and a plate of meat foam mapo tofu, put it lightly in front of the old lady, and said, "From now on, I don't dare to move a finger of the third brother." One day there was a hair missing, and the old lady was anxious with me. It made everyone laugh.

As he was talking, Zhuang Pu, Wang Wu, and the housekeeper came in.

Zhuang Pu ran rampantly to the county lord, and was disgusted: "Old lady, wife, the third brother actually deceived me, so that I could go to the treasury to find it, but I came to ask for benefits." ”

The county lord patted Zhuang Pu's hand: "Don't you blame yourself for being anxious, Jue'er came to greet him, you might as soon as you come, you will ask the teacher for sin." It's getting more and more unruly. ”

Zhuang Pu looked like a child, lowered his head and pulled the old lady's sleeve, and the old lady hugged him lovingly.

The old lady turned her head and asked the big butler, "Butler, are there all the people over there?" ”

The housekeeper stood solemnly on the side and waited, and replied: "Back to the old lady, the lords of each room have affairs to discuss, saying that the old lady will have a banquet with the ladies tonight, and there is no need to wait for them." ”

The old lady said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you in such a hurry, you can't wait for a meal." My life is getting worse and worse every year. ”

The housekeeper and the big girl Zhu'er took the dishes from the other girls and put them away, but they didn't talk, and the others didn't talk, and they looked at the dishes and soups that fell on the table for a while, and listened to the sound of the porcelain bowls, chopsticks and spoons hitting each other.

The old lady said again: "If they have filial piety and go to pick up the aunt and the second lady of Zhuo Mansion and the second lady and the young master, the birthday has passed, and there is no news at all." ”

The county lord picked up the chopsticks and spoon, sandwiched a piece of egg white meatballs and put it on the plate in front of the old lady, and said, "This meat is tender, the old lady can only eat it while it is hot." ”

The old lady ignored it and said to herself: "We have been blessed by the Lord's heaven, and we have given so many mansions to the mansion of the family, divided your four mansions, and the unified mansion is under the management of the second room and the north mansion. The second master doesn't understand the rules of doing business, the eldest master is busy with the military generals all day long, and the fourth master is the lowest, and he goes to the palace all day long, I see that the third master is very clean, and his filial piety is also eaten by the dog! ”

Everyone put down their chopsticks and didn't dare to move, the county lord's face was slightly unbearable, and he had to make some smiles to cover up his embarrassment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the old lady smiled again and said: "They are ignorant as masters, and the ladies know that there are also verbose things, so let's eat them!" If it's cold, it won't taste good. Zhu'er, see if the eldest young master is back, if you come back, please come over, let him call the two rooms together, if you don't come back, let them eat in their own room, and when they are finished, take two dishes and serve them, so as not to say that the old lady is partial. ”

The big girl Zhu'er responded: "Yes, old lady." ”

Bamboo went out.

At the end, after eating, rinsing her mouth, and cleaning her hands, the old lady took the tea, took a sip and said sadly: "What is the name of the second girl?" ”

Cao Shi glanced at his daughter Zhuang Qi and replied: "The old lady is confused, the second girl is sitting next to her!" It's not called Zhuang Qi! Everyone knew that the old lady was not referring to the second girl of Zhuangfu, and they didn't answer, but Cao's mouth was clever and gave it back without thinking. The old lady smiled at the corner of her mouth, didn't answer her, and said to herself: "I don't know if she can eat at the moment?" ”

Seeing that everyone didn't match, Cao Shi answered again: "It's not like eating." The old lady was happy and confused. Looking at the reward today, I should be rewarded with some gold and silver treasures. He covered his mouth and smiled as he spoke.

Qin Shi took the handkerchief and lowered his head to cover his mouth, the county lord coughed a few times in a low voice, Cao Shi looked at everyone, and knew that he had said something wrong, so he turned around and said: "The old lady is also worried when she eats and drinks, I will tell a joke to relieve her boredom." ”

The old lady threw the tea bowl on the table and said sharply: "If you let me relieve my boredom, go and call Mrs. Gu's second girl and the master!" I'm just happy. ”

Cao Shi took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, felt uneasy, and pulled his mouth several times to be embarrassed. The Qin clan gave the county lord a look, and the county lord smiled, squeezing his eyebrows and signaling to Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Pu understood, and picked up the tea to honor the old lady.

Zhuang Jue said on the side: "I haven't seen the second sister of the eldest aunt's family, I am the same as the old lady in my heart, I want to see what it looks like." I heard that she is two years younger than me, but her name is Zhuo Yiting. The younger brother of the Zhuo family is called Zhuo Weimian. Old lady, do I remember really? ”

The old lady took a sip of tea, suppressed her anger, gently put down the tea bowl, and said, "That's it! So the people gossiped further than they had gathered together and dispersed.
