Chapter 17 Housework

There was chaos in the second room in the east of the warm pavilion at this time.

The two third-class girls of the Tatexiang Courtyard struggled a lot to hold up Chen Bing, but they couldn't help the daughter of the Houmen, who was the most instrumental on weekdays, struggling hard, and kicked her feet high. Zhu Shi pressed his chest, his face was pale, and his shirt was a little wrinkled because of Chen Bing's sudden action just now. Chen Lan rubbed his wrist gently, and didn't look at Chen Bing, who was scolding and screaming over there.

Except for Chen Bing, who was completely ignored, the eyes of everyone else in the room were looking at the door. Compared with the panic and embarrassment of everyone in the house, Aunt Luo looked calm and calm, wearing a small pine flower gown, and a green and yellow flower skirt, she stood straight, and after the front paragraph saluted, she glanced sideways at Chen Bing, and then whispered: "Old lady, please forgive me for coming to Meng Lang, it is really that Mrs. is very anxious to hear the news, so she sent me over to see the movement, I can't think of ......."

Needless to say, Chen Lan found that Zhu's face was a little more gloomy than before, and he didn't know that the old lady was already angry, and he looked at Chen Bing's gaze with a little more pity. Sure enough, the Zhu family stared at the eldest granddaughter who was usually smart, but now she was dizzy, and then shouted: "Look at you like this now, where is it like the daughter of the Houmen, which family dares to come to the door to discuss relatives?" If you want your dad to come back in style, go back to the house and stay there, and don't be embarrassed here! ”

Chen Bing made a fuss with her face, not so much worried about her father and mother, but worried about her future, at this time, when the head came down, she suddenly wilted like a deflated ball, and wanted to open her mouth to defend and beg for mercy, but she was full of blank thoughts at this time, and she couldn't say a word of pleading, and her whole body was soft, so she only let the two girls drag her out.

Seeing her leave, the green calyx went to make hot tea and sent it over, Chen Lan hurriedly took the Ruyao bowl and sent it to Zhu, and persuaded in a low voice: "Old lady, dissipate your anger, the second sister must have lost her square inch when she heard the news at first glance, and she didn't have a heart." ”

Zhu had already noticed the circle of red marks on Chen Lan's right wrist, and then moved his eyes up to look at her face, then gently grabbed her hand, and said again: "Good boy, she doesn't care about talking like this, you still excuse her, in the end, you know the general situation." ”

Aunt Luo saw that Zhu nodded at Chen Lan, and asked him to sit down beside her, her cold eyes turned to her body, and she hurriedly explained: "Old lady, I came over there just now, and I deliberately went near the second gate, and Jinyiwei has not left. Although I don't know what is going on now, such a big movement is still in the first month, and I am afraid that other people in the capital will know about it. It is imperative to try to leave it aside for the time being, but the affairs of this family are also difficult. Looking at the second lady's appearance just now, the second lady may not be able to see people for a while and can't do anything, and my wife is also sick......"

Chen Lan saw that Aunt Luo had been standing sideways, speaking in an orderly manner, although she had never exceeded the proportions of the concubine's room, every word was on the gist, and compared with Mrs. Xu's words and deeds in the past, she felt more and more that the wife and concubine were fortunate not to meet much on weekdays, otherwise how would they get along? Sure enough, with Aunt Luo's words, she only felt that Zhu's hand holding her wrist was getting tighter and tighter, and she didn't know that this grandmother was already extremely displeased.

Before Aunt Luo finished speaking, Zhu interrupted her, but asked lightly, "You are right." Then according to you, who should preside over the family now? ”

At this moment, there was silence in the room, although a big girl like the green calyx jade peony bowed her head and lowered her hand, and the rest of the little girls did not dare to make a sound. Chen Lan originally thought that Aunt Mo Feiluo wanted to take this opportunity to get involved in housework, but when he looked at that calm face, he didn't feel like it. Just when everyone was thinking about it, Aunt Luo bowed down and saluted again.

"Old lady, although the second lady and my wife don't have that spirit for the time being, but now I will say a word of transcendence, not to mention that Mother Zheng next to you, who is these big girls in the Tatexiang Courtyard, is more than enough to preside over the housework at home in the Water Mirror Hall. It's just that we are the Hou Mansion, and although we have suffered something, we can't let outsiders laugh at it. The first few ladies in the family are almost the same age, only the months are missing, so it is better to take care of the family affairs. There is a young lady in each of the three rooms, and the old lady sends two more proper people to watch, wouldn't it be appropriate? In this way, not to mention the people who want to see the jokes of our Hou Mansion, even the imperial court, will also feel that we are a century-old family after all, and we know the rules and systems, and we don't lose our square inches as soon as we do something. ”

Aunt Luo said a lot of words in one go, and then stopped, and looked at the Zhu family respectfully. If it was said that the atmosphere in the room was a little frightening just now, then at this moment, everyone up and down breathed a sigh of relief, and even Zhu's face softened slightly. Chen Lan originally glanced at Aunt Luo, but at this time, she felt that she was acting and talking well today, and she always felt that it was not like an impromptu response, but she had already prepared.

This is not surprising, the Zhu family can find out the inside story through Princess Jin in advance, and she Chen Lan can learn the secret through the occasional listening corner of the red snail, Aunt Luo was originally a relative of Wei Guogong, even if she just came back, it is not surprising that she knew about it in advance. But it took so much effort, just to let his biological daughter Chen Xi come out and be a housekeeper with the other ladies in the two rooms?

After hearing about the situation on Mrs. Ma's side, Zhu had already pondered the candidate for assistant housework. She is already old, and there is absolutely no reason to go out to pick the big beam at this moment, the two daughters-in-law can't count on it, so naturally they can only choose people from among their granddaughters, I have to say that Aunt Luo's proposal even coincides with her. However, even so, she couldn't help but think carefully about it, and made sure that there was no other way, so she finally nodded.

"You have a point, so let's do it."

After saying everything that should be said, Aunt Luo made an excuse that she would go back to serve her wife, and after the salute, she retired. As soon as she left, Zhu Shi ordered: "Yushao, you go to Zining Ju to inform and tell the second lady to let the second ...... Looking at the second girl's way today, it is right to calm down and recuperate first, or let the fourth girl come out to take care of the housework with her third sister and fifth sister, and then take the pair of cards from the second lady. Lan'er, you are the eldest, so you have to carry more burdens, and if there is anything, you can do it. ”

Jade Peony agreed and hurriedly went out. And when Chen Lan heard that Zhu directly crossed Chen Bing and directly ordered Chen Yun, he couldn't help but sigh that the old lady was old. Even if the second uncle Chen Jiu is imprisoned, after all, the crime is still undecided, and the title has not been removed, Chen Bing is still the real marquis's daughter, and she is a descendant, and she is old, so she can suppress these sisters in everything. Now that there is no Chen Bing, she occupies the light of the elder and the grandson, and naturally becomes the person who takes the lead. After a few thoughts, she stood up.

"Old lady, although I am willing to take on more burdens, but after all, I have never been involved in family affairs, how about the old lady let Mother Zheng watch by the side?"

"No one knows how to start with it, and besides, she has to run around these days." Zhu's face remained unchanged, and he took a sip of hot tea, then turned his head and glanced at the green calyx, "That's it, green calyx, you go to the Water Mirror Hall to help your third lady look at some, don't let the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the family who are self-assured of their qualifications be deceived." ”

Chen Lan originally thought that the incident at home was a little strange, and Zheng's mother, as Zhu's henchman, must go out to investigate, so she deliberately said that she wanted to ask Zheng's mother to help, but in fact, what she was thinking about was the green calyx. Therefore, Zhu took such a measure, she was naturally overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly agreed. It's just that she still didn't forget to mention again that she would go to Huguo Temple to make incense offerings three days later, and Zhu had something to do at home, but after all, it was a common practice every year, and outsiders couldn't gossip, so she naturally agreed.

Although the matter has been assigned, but now that Jinyiwei has not left, naturally no one dares to move, and only waits for news in the house. I don't know how long it took to hold on, but finally someone opened the curtain and came in, but it was Zilu, a second-class girl who was ordered to stay in the hall. And Zhu Shi saw that she was about to kneel down and kowtow, and immediately stood up impatiently: "Come on, what's going on?" ”

"Back to the old lady, Jinyiwei has already left. Outside, Mr. Liu said that they removed two boxes of things from the second master's study, which seemed to be very heavy, and it actually took four people to carry them, and there seemed to be a box of documents. Now that the study has been sealed, no one has broken into the rest of the place, and the brocade guards in front of the door have also been removed. ”

"Thank God, Amitabha!"

Although Zhu was still worried about what he had taken, he still immediately folded his hands and muttered to himself, and Chen Lan couldn't help but muttered God bless in his heart. Helping Zhu to sit down, she whispered, "The brothers and sisters are in the east and west wings right now, shouldn't they be released?" ”

"Let them out." Zhu nodded tiredly, and added, "You don't need to let them come over to make trouble again, go back to their own places." Also, Lan'er, your splendid pavilion is too far away from the Water Mirror Hall, so it's better to move to the Tatexiang Courtyard to live in the next few days, and I still have a place in this warm pavilion. ”

Although this is a joyful thing in the eyes of others, Chen Lan doesn't want to live under the noses of others, and hurriedly smiles: "I naturally can't wait to come over to accompany the old lady, but I can't sleep well at night, and it's not good if I mess with the old lady." Besides, although the Splendid Pavilion is farther away, they are all in this house, but if you walk a few more steps, where will you be tired? At most, I wake up early and go to bed late every day, and I am still young, so I don't care about such a little time. Everyone outside knows that the old lady is fair, and the grandchildren all treat it the same, I can't let people say that the old lady is partial, right? ”

"Okay, it's all up to you!" When Zhu heard this, he was overjoyed, and patted Chen Lan's hand lightly, "Our daughter of the Chen family should have your bearing." ”

The girls in the room were agreeing, but they were all looking at each other. At present, the second room looks like a big basket, according to the old lady's attitude, could it be that the long room is really going to make a comeback?
