Chapter 003: Mutual Bites
Zhou Qi'an remembered very clearly that when he had a drink with the steward next to Grandpa Li, he listened to the steward's complaint, Li Shizi took a fancy to the courtyard and offered a market price higher than three times, but Scholar Huang refused, saying that he wanted to keep a thought, even if he changed his mind in the future, he would only give it away and not sell it, and he would give it to someone who was destined.
Why did this Su Niangzi become a destined person of Huang University again?
Zhou Qi'an was no longer an ordinary shock, the more Su Niangzi's water he explored, the more unfathomable he felt, he couldn't handle this matter anymore, and immediately rushed back to report to Mrs. Jiang Zhou.
This goods also has a plan, the little master didn't take it back, he has to bring something else valuable, otherwise the old lady will treat him as a useless waste, and there will be no need to mix it up in the future.
The old lady of Jianghou Mansion Zhou is sitting on the Huanghuali big kang squinting and calculating things, wearing a turmeric bottom decorated with brown longevity patterns, wearing azure decorated with the word Nanzhu Shou on her forehead, and leaning on the red embroidered Wufu Birthday Pillow behind her, next to the kang screen of Magu Baishou is placed a large plate of the official kiln of the Seven Women's Birthday, on which there are more than ten kinds of dim sum that look extremely delicate and delicious, and several of them are still new products rewarded by the palace.
The reason why Zhou's whole body is full of life-related decorations is because next month is her sixtieth birthday, and she warms her birthday a month in advance.
Everyone may think it is novel, Nuan Shou is the first day of his birthday, invite his loved ones to have a reunion dinner in advance, called Nuan Shou, why is this old lady more than a month in advance?
There is a reason why Zhou is so exaggerated.
Originally, the dying eldest grandson suddenly got better, the most promising second grandson was about to come back from an errand, and he had to be rewarded by the emperor again, and suddenly there was an extra great-grandson, this big happy event seemed to be rushing to give her a birthday, Zhou felt that she finally worked hard to come to Ji Tailai, and it must be a long life in the future, and the auspicious stars were shining, but it was a pity that before she told the eldest wife Jiang to list the birthday charter for her, bad things happened one after another.
Jiang Xiangmo, who is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, was poisoned by arrows and fell into a coma, it is said that he is no different from a normal person, even on the return carriage, he can't let go of his hands and is studying hard to prepare for next year's Jiang Xiangji, who suddenly vomited blood from an old illness, and sent two mothers-in-law to Gusu to pick up Zixi, and the good wealth and peace plum bottle placed in the inner room suddenly shattered...... Zhou inexplicably felt that she was running out of luck and was going to be unlucky, so she went to Huguo Temple and spent a large amount of sesame oil money to worship the Buddha, and asked the respected master to sign for her.
Her hunch is good, that sign is to support the next sign, she has a moldy star cover, the luck has gone, if it is not good to deal with it, I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster.
Since returning from Huguo Temple, Zhou has nightmares every night, waking up covered in sweat, so she ordered people to put all the longevity objects in the treasury in her room, and also changed the name of the two big girls who were serving her to Yingfu and Zhushou, in short, she wanted to do everything possible to avoid the bloody disaster.
"Old lady, this is the newly made chestnut cake and rose lotus paste cake in the kitchen, the maid is waiting for you to taste, if it suits the old lady's appetite, the maid will prepare a copy for the little master to keep...... Holding Shou cautiously glanced at Zhou, who had been contemplating for half a cup of tea and had not returned to his senses, and tried to slow down his voice as much as possible, now that the young master is back home, why does the old lady look like she is wrinkling her eyebrows and is preoccupied?
Zhou was noncommittal to Zhushou's words, and Zhushou lowered his eyebrows and retreated with a painted and gold-painted tray.
Zhou suddenly raised his head and said to her, "Isn't there any news from Steward Zhou?"
Shou was about to shake his head, and Yingfu hurriedly came in, "Old lady, Steward Zhou is back, waiting at the second gate to reply to the old lady." "
"At the second gate?" Zhou's kind face sank suddenly, "Why is it at the second gate?"
This Zhou Qi'an, with a clever brain, just has too many concerns, and every time he gives her something to do, he is cautious, sneaky, and secretive, for fear of provoking the old marquis.
Yingfu was stunned, lowered his eyes and said: "Steward Zhou doesn't seem to have received the little young master, saying that there is something important to report to the old lady, it seems that the old marquis is coming back from the palace before coming, and when he returns home, he meets Steward Zhou." "
Zhou Shi was shocked when he heard this, and almost fell off the kang, and the bluffing Yingfu hurriedly went to help her.
Zhou grabbed Yingfu's hand, and his tone trembled urgently, "Quick, let Zhou Qi'an come in, no, Yingfu, you go in person, ask him what the old marquis asked, how did he answer? And what's the matter with that child, didn't the Guangtian family say that they didn't enter the city today, why didn't the people pick it up and let the Guangtian family come over...... "
chattered a lot, as if instructing Yingfu, and as if talking to himself.
Holding Shou holding the tray and looking at Zhou's pale face and trembling hands, he was stunned.
She and Yingfu are newly proposed, usually just think that the old lady is very strict, not smiling, and moody, very difficult to serve, they have to fight the spirit of twelve points when they serve, but the old lady's gaffe and panic is the first time to see.
The old lady is really afraid of the old marquis!
Yingfu hurriedly went to Ermen to see Zhou Qi'an, and before the words came back, a little maid trotted all the way to report to Zhou, "Old lady, the old marquis asked to carry the second master out of the house, saying that he inquired about a famous doctor...... "
"Carry out of the house?" Zhou's sideburns jumped heavily, this old thing, less and less take her seriously, and don't discuss such a big matter with him, can Erlang's body still be tossed, what kind of famous doctor, can't be invited into the house to treat Erlang, the shelf is not small.
As she spoke, a woman in her forties walked in.
Honey color Qiluo gold clay hairpin, red gold inlaid sapphire hollow carved gold hairpin, a high-quality gold inlaid jade mutton fat jade bracelet on the wrist, and a ruby gold ring on the slender and white fingers of maintenance, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, very good.
This woman is tall and white-skinned, with a slightly pointed and thin face, and along the way, the expression on her face is unpredictable, and her eyes are constantly flashing and thinking, which makes people see at a glance that she is shrewd and capable.
She wiped her tears and walked quickly to Zhou's side, and didn't let the little girl report, obviously she had heard what the little girl said before, and couldn't help but interject: "Mother, Erlang is not good again, I heard that my father-in-law has found a famous doctor for Erlang, and he has carried Erlang out of the house for treatment, can you also carry Erlang away?"
She wiped her tears and looked at the old lady's expression, seeing that Zhou's brows were frowning and she could kill a fly, she couldn't help but see it in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "Father is really, usually biased towards Erlang, at this moment, Erlang is almost useless, the world's famous doctors are almost all over, and they don't get better, if you want to treat, you have to treat Da Lang first, Erlang is a grandson, is Da Lang the wild on the side of the road-ah...... "
Before she finished speaking, Zhou's cup of tea with the lid of the tea bowl smashed towards the woman, and the soup was drenched.
Zhou's body trembled even more angrily, his face turned pale, and he pointed at the woman and scolded: "Little prostitute, you are the wild one on the side of the road!"
Zhou didn't know what to stimulate, and reacted very much to the words of the wild on the side of the road, and gave the woman a slap when he got off the kang, "The good man is just raised by your bereaved thing, and he is full of small calculations all day long, when I don't know what you are thinking...... "
What's wrong with the old lady, she is so beaten and afraid of the eldest lady, and she says it so ugly, in front of their subordinates, she doesn't save face for the eldest lady at all...... Zhu Shou and the little girl who passed the word were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, so they pulled out their legs and retreated.
That woman is none other than Master Jiang's wife, the eldest lady of the house, Jiang's family, Jiang's family has been in the door for more than 20 years, although she has rarely been looked at by the old lady, and most of the time she picks her nose and vertical eyes, but this is the first time she has been beaten and scolded in front of her subordinates, especially since she is also a grandmother, Jiang Xiangji's daughter Sister Yan is already seven years old, where does this make her old face go?
Jiang Shi covered half of his hot face and looked at Zhou Shi in a daze, "Mother, why did you beat and scold your daughter-in-law, where did your daughter-in-law say wrong?
The old lady has a strong temper, this Jiang is not a good stubble, she is notoriously spicy in the boudoir, the old lady was in love with her spicy temperament at that time, and the big man who can manage to live, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble has no strengths, so he personally came to the door to ask for it.
Jiang was also a big beauty when he was young, if it weren't for the middle of the family, greedy for the wealth of Jiang Hou's Mansion, and wanted to raise his eyebrows at his stepmother, where could he see Jiang Da Lao's fat and short round winter melon appearance, especially when he entered Jiang Hou's Mansion and saw the second master who was dignified and heroic, it was Jiang Xiangmo's father, and although he was a concubine, he was handsome and gentle, and his intestines were all blue.
She didn't dare to think about the second master's celestial appearance, even the third uncle was more than a few grades higher than her man.
Jiang is often puzzled, she is also a father, her man is simply a wild donkey mixed into the horse pen, and he looks too different.
She has been buried deep in her heart for more than 20 years, until some time ago her good mother-in-law suddenly had a lot of servants, including Zhou's dowry, the old man who served around her, and the means of dealing with it were very ruthless, she suddenly noticed a trace of unusualness, and there was a shocking guess in her heart.
Seeing that the people serving in the room avoided going out, Jiang no longer pretended to be the gentle and virtuous filial daughter-in-law, she glanced at Zhou's blue face, her heart moved, and she stepped forward and pinched the handkerchief and asked Zhou, "I didn't say that the eldest master is wild on the side of the road, I'm talking about my own son, I am cheap myself, why should my mother be so angry?" It's really incomprehensible...... "
(If you don't like the first male and the second male is easy to do, if you don't like the female protagonist, it's really going to be a collapse.) (To be continued.) )
