Although Mrs. Lu decided to take her granddaughter to inspect Xintian, after all, she was going far away, and she was going to a strange place, and the things to be prepared could not be cooked in a day.

Originally, Wen Yi felt that Xintian was at the foot of the hillside, although there was a village not far away, but it was a little too simple, it didn't matter if he lived for a day, if he lived for a few more days, he might not be able to stand it with his grandmother's body, and it was now the autumn harvest season, so it was not too kind to let the busy farmers drag their children and daughters away from their houses, it was better to borrow his uncle's house, and come out of Pingyin County, and it was only twenty or thirty miles to the village, and the carriage went slower, and it was not troublesome to arrive in half a day.

But Old Madam Lu didn't want to borrow the Nie family, although she had a good impression of Nie Heng, she always hated Nie Qin's family. At her insistence, Wen Yi had no choice but to give in, sent Uncle Zhang to take the lead, first went to the village at the foot of the mountain to find a small farm yard, and rented it for ten days for two taels of silver, but this time the peasant women on the village had no time to help, so they could only bring another servant to work. Mama Zhao was old, so she stayed at home to watch the door, Aunt Zhang and Ziying followed the car, and Mrs. Lu borrowed two coachmen from Jiufang.

Early in the morning, outside the door of the Xuanhe Hall in the sixth room, Gu Yitong was watching the two servants set up the car. A green oil car, which was used when Wen Yi went out last time, was repaired by the car dealer craftsman found by the Nie family, repainted, and changed the curtain, and it looked like it was still six or seven percent new; The other small car, which was borrowed by the second room, was originally used by the maid to sit when she went out. Gu Yitong had already received the letter and knew that the sixth aunt was going to take her granddaughter out, so she rushed over early to help.

When the people who came and went saw the posture of the sixth room, they knew that someone in his family was going out, and it didn't look like an ordinary visit, so they couldn't help but discuss a few words in private, and some people stepped forward to inquire with Gu Yitong. Gu Yitong couldn't say it clearly, only said that the sixth aunt was going to go far away, and everyone listened to it and thought about it. After a while, the news spread, and when Wen Yi helped her grandmother out and was about to get into the car, Mrs. Nine Hu arrived in the green oil car that she usually used to visit the door, and greeted them with a smile on her face: "Yo, Sixth Aunt, where are you going?" ”

Mrs. Lu was upset about her change of face these days, so she only glanced at her lightly, dropped the sentence "Something to go out", and got into the carriage. Hu Shi was choked by her answer, laughed dryly, pretended to be cordial, and beckoned Wen Yi to come over with a smile. She is an elder, Wen Yi is not good at slapping her face like a grandmother, so she had to obediently bow her head and pass, stand in front of Hu's car, and ask respectfully: "What does Aunt Jiu command?" ”

"I didn't tell me, I was just worried in my heart, so I wanted to ask you to ask." Hu sighed, took her hand, and patted it a few times, "I know that some words in Zhuangzi are not very good these days, and the sixth aunt is also embarrassed, her mouth is on other people's faces, what do people say, what can we do?" It's also a good thing that the sixth aunt told you to go out to avoid it, but I'm afraid that others will become more and more concerned and think that your grandparents and grandchildren are weak-hearted, and it will be terrible! ”

Wen Yi pursed her lips and stared at her, only feeling tired in her heart: Could it be that those rumors can spread so badly, without the credit of Aunt Jiu? What is she pretending to be okay with this?! I'm afraid I'm trying something, right?

Although Wen Yi is generous, she can't bear it anymore at this time. The rumors originally didn't matter, but they were too vague, and people who didn't know heard it in their ears, it was easy to misunderstand, and now if Hu Shi thinks that she has guessed the "truth" and spreads the rumors more and more, can she still gain a foothold in Guzhuang? It's better to set things right as soon as possible! So she smiled and said, "Aunt Jiu is too careful, it's really something to do when you go out today." The uncle of the former son and niece helped a field in the picture, and I heard that it was good, but my grandmother had the heart to take it down, and she was afraid that others would not tell her truth, so she wanted to go and see it in person. As for the rumors on the village, they are all nonsense spread by outsiders, which is ridiculous, and the niece and nephew don't take it to heart. ”

Hu's expression was a little unnatural, and he smiled reluctantly: "The behavior of the nine girls is really extraordinary, and they don't care about these rumors...... It's just groundless, not necessarily for no reason, the girl's family, reputation is still very important. "I muttered secretly in my heart: It's all the old fifteen things, and the six houses have made a windfall, and now they really want to buy the field, it seems that the rumors on the village are not false.

Wen Yi said lightly: "Aunt Jiu, don't worry, those rumors, those rumors, as soon as the discerning person hears it, will know that it is wrong, only those who are idle and have nothing to do will hold on to it and spread it around." She raised her eyes and smiled lightly, "The eldest uncle and grandmother are sick, and the niece and nephew are also worried, but she is an old man who wants to recuperate and refuses to see guests, and the nephew is not good to come to the door to disturb her, right?" However, her old man knows in her heart, and she must not blame her niece, just looking at the Mid-Autumn Festival gift sent by the second aunt, she knows that their family really doesn't care about the faux pas of their niece. Aunt Jiu, did you say that your niece guessed right? ”

Aunt Jiu was uncomfortable when she heard it, but after listening to it, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized: Yes! If the nine girls really hurt the old lady to get sick, how could the long house give a generous gift?! I'm afraid that the nine girls not only didn't hurt people sick, but also had merit!

She couldn't help nodding frequently, but after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong: if the nine girls were meritorious, how could Changfang be silent? There were no rumors in the clan. Thinking of Wen Hui and Wen An, who rushed north to the capital two days after the old lady Yu fell ill, she suddenly realized: Maybe the cause of the old lady in Changfang, Jiu Yatou really knows, but Changfang didn't want her to say it, so she had to give a heavy gift to seal her mouth!

She thought she had guessed the truth, and was busy asking Wen Yi about it, but found that the person had long since disappeared, and even the carriage and servants in front of the sixth room were gone, so she couldn't help but ask sharply: "What about the people?!" Yahuan, who was following the car, said cautiously: "Madam, the sixth old lady just asked Miss Nine to go back, Miss Nine is saying goodbye to you, didn't you hear?" But you nodded your head......"

Wen Yi sat in the car, pursing her lips and snickering while reporting to her grandmother the content of the conversation between Fang Cai and Hu. Old Madam Lu didn't smile, but snorted dissatisfiedly: "Every time she came to our house to talk before, it was just to show off her wealth and wealth, and then to find out if our family still had oil and water to fish, but I didn't expect that now she is growing more and more, and she can't even take care of her morality!" Her mother's family is also a big family, how did she raise such a stupid daughter?! If you are more generous, it's okay, but you are a snob and money-loving, and you can't stand it! When I heard that the wind was rain, what I said earlier, I turned around and slapped myself in the mouth, but I still think that I am smart, and I boast when I see people! Although Qifang is a concubine, and marrying a daughter-in-law is not so particular, after all, the same surname is a Gu character, and it should not be reckless to be a relative! The second girl in her family also follows her temperament, and after she gets married next year, I don't know what jokes she will cause! ”

Wen Yi saw that her grandmother was angry, worried that she would be angry, and with a roll of her eyes, she changed the topic with a smile: "When the granddaughter was talking to Aunt Jiu, wasn't Uncle Fifteen also talking to her grandmother by the car?" The granddaughter looked at him with a sullen look, could it be that he said the wrong thing again and provoked the grandmother to teach him a lesson? ”

Old Madam Lu's face softened a little, and said, "Where?" It was your fifteenth uncle who was afraid that our grandparents and grandchildren would go out and no one would take care of them, and they would suffer hardships, so he said that he would accompany us. I told him, your fifteenth aunt is still in filial piety, and she has not been confined, and the children in the family are still young, where can you leave someone? ! In the past, I asked him to do errands, but he was going to Pingyang City, and he could go back and forth on the same day, but now we are going to Pingyin County, and we have to stay for a few days. He took care of us, and he could still take care of his wife and children at home?! Only then did he realize that he had lost money, bowed his head and admitted his mistake and went home. ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "Uncle Fifteen is a sincere gentleman, and he is also filial to his grandmother. Old Madam Lu's expression softened: "Filial piety is rare, but it is not worth considering." That's it, I'm an aunt, and it's not good to talk about him all the time! ”

Wen Yi looked at her grandmother's expression and knew that her mood had improved, so she slowly told her about the interesting things she encountered or the scenery she had seen when she went out last time, mixed with what she had seen and heard when she traveled with her master in her previous life. Although Mrs. Lu is old and knowledgeable, after all, she is a deep boudoir woman, and she has been widowed in Guzhuang for many years, how do you know if those things are true or false? Just listening to it interestingly, he smiled and nodded. But after listening to it for a long time, and the carriage was bumpy again, she became a little uncomfortable, and even more sleepy. Wen Yi found out, so she threw out one or two childish questions from time to time, and asked her grandmother for advice seriously, which made Mrs. Lu laugh heartily, and she didn't even care about the bumps of the carriage.

Different from the laughter in the carriage in front, in the car behind, Zi Ying and Aunt Zhang were relatively speechless.

Aunt Zhang stared at Zi Ying for a while, and when she saw that she was silent, she only cared about tying knots with five-colored silk, so she couldn't bear her temperament and opened her mouth first: "If you have something to say, don't look like yin and yang!" Don't think I don't know, you whispered bad things about me to Miss yesterday! ”

Zi Ying raised her eyes to look at her, then lowered her eyes and continued to work: "Auntie misunderstood, I didn't say anything bad about you." ”

Aunt Zhang was anxious, and snatched the half-tied knot in her hand: "Who are you coaxing?!" I could hear it well yesterday behind the pillars! You told the young lady that I was talking nonsense outside, and everyone knew about the old lady's desire to buy land, but you still dare to say that you didn't?! ”

Zi Ying snatched back the knot and said with a smile: "That's what my aunt said?" Then I didn't say anything bad about you, did I? Didn't you tell anyone about it? ”

Aunt Zhang took a sip: "What's the big deal?!" My man took an errand and went out, and his relatives asked, and he was not allowed to say it?! It's not a big deal! The old lady hasn't blamed me yet, what are you little girl talking about?! You are not from our Gu family, but you borrowed it from a relative's house, and after a year and a half, you will be sent back to be a small servant, so it has nothing to do with our Gu family, and you still have to worry about your aunt's idle business?! ”

Zi Ying's face turned red, gritted her teeth, and sneered: "What did my aunt do, I know it in my heart, and I can't be angry with me here!" If you don't tell me, the old lady and the young lady won't know? Your gossip has nothing to do with me, I'm just sorry for Miss. Although I am not the girl of the Gu family, I ask myself, but I feel more loyal to the Gu family than my aunt! After that, he hurriedly covered his mouth and said with a smile, "I said it wrong, my aunt is already extremely loyal to the Gu family, this is the Gu family and the Gu family, there are different words!" ”

Aunt Zhang's face changed, she was ashamed and angry, she raised her hand and was about to hit someone, but Zi Ying grabbed her wrist, and when she was pricked by the silver needle, she screamed in pain, startling the coachman outside, and almost walked off the wrong line, and hurriedly drove the car back to the road, and asked what happened to the people in the car.

Zi Ying shouted unhurriedly: "Aunt Zhang was accidentally poked by my needle for a while, it doesn't matter, uncle, keep driving!" Then he turned around and smiled at Aunt Zhang, twisted his fingers lightly, and the silver needle flashed: "Auntie, you should be careful, don't come, you have to suffer in vain......"
