Chapter 019: Temptation
The old lady did not answer immediately after hearing Lou's words, but glanced at Lou.
She has lived most of her life, what kind of person she hasn't seen? Although it can't be said that she can see through everyone, Lou is still very clear: Lou doesn't have any affection for Shuyuan, although she doesn't have any resentment towards Shuyuan, but it is really more difficult to let her take out money for Shuyuan's illness.
And Lou's running before and after for Shuyuan's illness is not like Lou's personality. If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and the old lady wondered what Lou wanted to do.
Shuyuan smiled and said: "That really makes my younger brothers and sisters break the bank, and there are also Lao brothers and sisters." She opened her mouth and agreed, which attracted the old lady to look at her, and the thing she was thinking about had become: What tricks were her two granddaughters-in-law doing?
The old lady sighed in her heart: Are you really old? Now that her grandchildren have such scheming, she may really want to enjoy the blessings. As long as she can see her three great-grandchildren, she can really leave it alone, even on the day she closes her eyes, she has the face to see the ancestors of the Jin family.
"Then let Yun Rong go. Wu family, you are waiting for the young grandmother to go to the dojo tomorrow. The old lady called a grandmother beside her and gave a few words.
This Wu family is not an ordinary person, this person is the old lady's dowry girl, married to a family surnamed Wu as his wife: it was originally rewarded by the old lady and returned the deed, but the Wu family is not a good family, after giving birth to three daughters in succession, they treat them as girls.
If it's just like this, what makes Wu can't bear it in the end is that her husband spoiled the concubine and killed his wife to the point that the concubine broke her leg and cut a line on her face, and then promised her daughter to an old bachelor in the concubine's room as a wife!
Wu finally killed the concubine in the middle of the night, and was sent to the government by her husband for questioning; It was the old lady who found out about this, and hired the best lawyer to argue for her, so that she could return to the Jin Mansion on an errand after making sure that she was okay.
Because her daughters are all surnamed Wu, she still retains her husband's surname: no one knows what she thinks, she did not ask for a divorce, let alone remove her husband's surname, and claimed to be Wu. Actually, her maiden name is Lan.
Wu's smile is even more scary because of the scar on her face, so she usually has a straight face: "Young grandma, tomorrow's slave will go to serve in the morning." ”
Lou didn't dare to look at her, looked away and said with a forced smile: "There is Mama Lao Wu." ”
There was nothing else to do, the old lady pulled Mrs. Mu to laugh, and wanted to leave Mrs. Mu in her yard at night; And Master Mu was invited out by Jin Chengye, and the two Weng sons-in-law didn't know what to say, but they would definitely not come back to Shuyuan at night.
Shuyuan couldn't imagine that on the first night of her parents' visit, their family couldn't have a long talk; Disappointed, she put her mind to tomorrow's things, and when she returned to the tea fragrance courtyard, she thought all the way, and she smiled when she thought of the interesting part.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Yunwu greeted him: "Girl, the maid has explained things clearly." The nurse cried, she said that she wanted to come in and see the girl again, and she also wanted to say hello to the old lady; Because the girl did not confess to the servant, the servant rejected her on her own initiative. ”
"Tell the nurse to let her take care of her body first, and when the girl's illness is cured, there will be a time when she and the girl will meet and talk well; The lord and the lady are now troubled by the girl's illness, and if there is anything they will send someone to invite the nurse over. ”
She said here and took a step back and crouched down: "That's all." She didn't plead guilty, and she took matters into her own hands.
Shuyuan didn't blame her: "I know." Well, you guys come in, Silver Needle, let her put down what she is doing and get over it, I have something to tell you four. ”
Yulu hurriedly agreed to go looking for the silver needle, and Yunwu stood up and showed Shuyuan the way and opened the curtain, without looking at Yulu from beginning to end.
Shuyuan didn't expect this girl to be so calm: the clouds and mist can no longer be described as calm; This girl didn't really value Shuyuan, but the two girls of the Jin family, Biluo and Yinzhen, were more Shuyuan's heart than her.
At the beginning, Mrs. Mu said that Yunwu was a serious person, but she was not dexterous enough, and she usually had to rely on Yulu more when she had something: I think her mother also looked away, right?
After entering the house, Shuyuan directly ordered tomorrow's affairs without meeting in advance, Biluo's eyes widened, and Yinzhen looked at Yulu and Yunwu in a little panic - she knew who was the real confidant of the young grandmother in this house.
Biluo opened her mouth and trembled a little: "Young grandma, you ......"
Shuyuan didn't let her say any more, and directly interrupted her: "I'm not discussing with you, I'm just telling you what you should do, and whoever makes a mistake in Ming'er will be ready to be punished." ”
"Let me remind you today, no matter where you came from, no matter what you think, now you are in the tea fragrance courtyard, and you are my Mu Shuyuan's person. Got it? There is no distinction between the Mu family and the Jin family, there are only our people and those who are not ours here, and I will not stay if they are not my people. ”
Shuyuan glanced at the four girls when she said this: "I won't say this again." Also, you're all first-class girls, and you know some rules without me telling you, don't you? For example, chewing the master's tongue......" she paused, "I don't like it very much." ”
Yunwu is still the same: "Yes, girl, the servants have written it down." "There are no waves in the ancient well.
Shuyuan then said something that surprised the four girls a little: "Tonight, the five of us master and servant slept together, and from now on, someone will come to answer the door, and none of you can step out of the door." ”
Biluo looked up at Shuyuan, moved her lips but didn't speak, and looked at the other three girls in disbelief and lowered her head.
Yinzhen's face changed, he looked at Yulu and then at Yunwu, and found that Shuyuan hurriedly lowered his head when he looked at her again: Obviously, the least daring of the four girls was her.
Yulu lowered her head and didn't raise it, she knew that Shuyuan's words were meant to prevent her even if they weren't aimed at her alone; Because she was ashamed in her heart, where did she still have the face to look at Shuyuan?
Only Yunwu is still the same: "Yes, girl." ”
Shuyuan didn't explain anything, let alone appease the girls, turned around and went into the house and sat down and began to read the book: Biluo was a little strange, Yulu just obediently stepped forward to turn on the lamp, and the silver needle went to make Shuyuan's bed; Only the clouds and mist stood behind Shuyuan and did not move.
It wasn't until Sangen Shuyuan put down the book in his hand and instructed Yunwu: "Ming'er, I will tell your master to choose some books, and then you will go and pick out books." Don't want those women and the like, and don't take the top test, you can take other things that are interesting to you and look interesting. ”
Yunwu didn't ask why, or what to do if there were too many books, but answered honestly: "Yes, girl." Does the girl want to rest now? Seeing Shuyuan nodding, she turned around and went to get hot water.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, when Shuyuan and the old lady, mother and others left the Jin Mansion, it was not early: it was already a little troublesome to go out of the woman's house, but when there were more people, it was not just a little more, so it would not be until the sun rose to step out of the house.
Fortunately, the dojo is in the city, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. Shuyuan sat in the carriage silently all the way, only occasionally raising the curtain to sneak a peek at the movement in the street.
In front of her was the old lady's carriage, and what she didn't know was that her every move fell into the old lady's eyes, and the old lady's eyes only had a slight smile.
There were no idle people in the dojo, except for the little Taoist priest who welcomed guests at the door, there were no more than ten people in the entire dojo.
Lou Shi had been waiting for a long time, and after welcoming the old lady and others in, she came to urge Shuyuan, and naturally she had to praise the ability of the immortal chief: in her mouth, the immortal chief really knew five hundred years before and five hundred years later, and knew everything in the sky and on the ground.
Shuyuan has a lot of things, for a while he wants water to make tea but he has to specify that he wants to purify water, but Biluo just can't find a place to get water; Lou was in a hurry, so he could only let his girl go to the little Taoist priest to ask for water: after such a few things, even Wu was instructed by Lou to go out.
Wu glanced at Shuyuan when she left, but Shuyuan only smiled back at her; Wu didn't say much and then retreated silently after squatting down: Wu has many legends in the Jin family, some say she is fierce, some say she is evil, but no one has ever said that she is too talkative.
Lou Shi saw Shuyuan hand over the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "Sister-in-law, let's go over first, and when you come back after seeing a doctor, your tea will be ready." It's a bit disrespectful to let the immortal always wait, isn't it? "She's afraid of long nights and dreams.
It's not that she has any scruples, it's just that after things are arranged, her heart is in the air if she doesn't achieve her goal for a while, and she can't live in peace: unless it's a foregone conclusion.
Shuyuan nodded: "Okay." After agreeing, she didn't say anything, just looked at Lou Shi and smiled: "Brother and sister, you said that immortal chief is so powerful, why don't we give him a try?" If he really has the ability, we will let him really see a doctor. ”
Lou Shi was shocked when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, the immortal chief is a person who has attained the Tao, and he will enter the red dust in order to save people in suffering; Let's not talk about how to try first, if we have such a heart and are known by the immortal chief, won't it make the immortal chief angry, but I am afraid that I will never give my sister-in-law you a doctor again. ”
"How is that possible?" Shuyuan smiled and shook his head: "Immortal Chief, that is a person who has attained the Dao, and has already seen through the red dust is not in the Five Elements, how can such a master be as knowledgeable as us ordinary people?" After the immortal chief saw through it, he could only laugh. ”
She held Lou's hand: "There are Lao brothers and sisters." ”
******
The old lady and the others were all sent by the immortal chief to invite them to the altar. Chairs had already been set up in front of the altar, and there were fruit snacks and so on on the small table: although the old ladies would not use the usual things bought on the streets, they were still satisfied with the arrangement of the fairy chief.
Ordinary people respect them for nothing, and a person like the immortal chief can also look down on them - even if the immortal chief is a little rude in front of them, the old lady and they also think that the immortal chief is an outsider and a real master will do that.
The altar is very large, and it is separated into two by a veil: the fairy chief often answers questions for the female dependents, which is a very normal arrangement. In front of the veil is the person who comes to "see a doctor", and behind the veil is the immortal.
The old lady and the others sat down, and Shuyuan climbed the altar step by step, and it was only at this time that they saw Shuyuan: before their vision was blocked by the altar, they couldn't see Shuyuan at all.
Everyone's eyes widened, and Zhao couldn't help but stand up and exclaim.
