Chapter XXXVII
Mother Shi actually wanted to say that the eldest young master knew about it and had to be grateful, but she thought that the old lady also didn't want to see the eldest young master, so she had to change her words halfway. But no matter what she meant, or what the idea in the conversation was for, the old lady wouldn't pay much attention to it, she just had Mother Shi in her heart and helped her get things done, and she didn't care about the rest.
However, what Mother Shi said, the old lady was still comfortable listening to it, so she smiled and said: "As long as you talk a lot, I don't ask them to be grateful to me, and naturally I don't try to make those false names, as long as they don't blame me, it's good." Speaking of which, the old lady remembered that her eldest son was increasingly estranged from herself, and she was still a little gloomy in her heart, after all, the eldest son was also born to her, but unfortunately she didn't understand her mother's heart towards him, for the sake of the Li family to make trouble with herself to this day, where was it wrong for her to treat the Li family like this, the Li family offended the emperor, what courage did they have to do against the emperor?
These things, how can Mother Shi not know, she also heard the old lady's sigh, but these are not what she can put her beak, in the final analysis, the most important thing for the old lady is her marrying girl Gu's mother, for this situation, Shi's mother is actually quite happy, she really can't do too cruel things, this is just right, the limelight and reputation are all good for Gu's mother, she just looks at the news exchanges everywhere outside the house for the old lady.
Looking at the skylight outside, Mother Shi didn't want to stay with her for too long, she still remembered Xia Hua's reminder just now, so she deliberately diverted the conversation and said with a smile: "It's not too early for the old lady to go outside, can you let the slave help you put on the jewelry on your head?" You can't dislike the craftsmanship of slaves and maids, otherwise you will be laughed at by Xia Hua and them. Although the old lady who had breakfast in the morning was exempted from the service of the two daughters-in-law, she could not save it in any way for a while, this is filial piety, and it is also the face of the two ladies.
When the old lady heard this, she smiled, nodded and said, "Then give you a face, I will show off when I turn around, and your master's name will be even more famous, I am not afraid that a few of them will not be convinced." "When the matter is said and done, she is also in the mood to joke.
Mother Shi listened to the smile and flattered for a while, and then helped the old lady comb the hair bun and put on the hairpin ring, in the end she was also born in combing, although she has not combed for a long time, but the technical vision is still there, the old lady took a picture of the bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction: "It is worthy of being a master, this bun is beautiful, the hairpin is also good, this fulcrum emerald rubies hairpin with your hair bun is very good-looking." ”
Mother Shi saw that the old lady really liked it, and she was also happy in her heart, and she saw that the old lady was fine, so she smiled and helped the old lady up, and joked: "The old lady can take a fancy to the vulgar craftsmanship of the slave and maid, and the slave and the maid will be relieved. ”
The old lady knew that she was flattering, but who didn't like to listen to good words, so she smiled and patted Shi's mother's shoulder, and said angrily: "Look, in the end, it is the mother who has been a housekeeper for many years, and the words are becoming more and more beautiful, where is there still the clumsy and clumsy appearance of the year, I see that you praise me as an old woman is fake, and it is true to show off your own craftsmanship." After speaking, she didn't let Shi's mother argue, so she raised her voice outside: "Xia Hua is outside?" ”
The old lady called, Xia Hua knew that they were finished, and hurriedly picked up the curtain and pushed the door open and entered the room, this time in, seeing that the old lady had gotten up, she hurriedly smiled and greeted it, and deliberately took a few more glances at the old lady's hair ornament and some jewelry on her head, it really looked good, Rao is now more and more sophisticated, or sigh to herself, so she praised: "The real mother is a pair of skillful hands, we can't compare with the previous sporadic ones, it can be seen that the old lady's hair in the past was ruined by the slave's stupid hands." ”
She looked cute, and her words were also playful, not only Mother Shi listened to the ironing in her heart, but the old lady also loved this excitement, so she smiled and said: "You monkey, you are really face-catching, flattering your Mother Shi, and I am not afraid that the old lady will be angry, and you used to fool me." ”
Xia Hua was said by the old lady, and hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy: "The old lady has spared the slave and maid, the slave and maid's skills are not enough to see compared to the stone mother, but they can also give the old lady a long face, and although the slave and maid's skills are limited, they can be better than the old lady's natural beauty, and they can bring out the slave and maid's skills." ”
Mother Shi looked at Xia Hua's ingenious appearance, funny, although she knew that the old lady would not really blame her, but she felt that she had just mentioned something, and Xia Hua also praised herself in disguise, so that she could get face in front of the old lady, Mother Shi only groaned slightly, and then relieved the siege: "It's really an old lady who can regulate people, this Xia Hua girl, not only is she neat, but she is also thoughtful in dealing with people, and her heart of truly flattering the old lady is rare." ”
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard Mother Shi's praise, so she threw away the laughter just now, and said with a smile: "Now you know so many girls, why do I prefer her alone, there are so many girls here, but what I can't think of, she is actually a proper cook, don't let me worry at all, if I leave her, I don't know how to mess up in this house." ”
Mother Shi knew that although there were four big girls in the old lady's house, everyone was faintly headed by Xia Hua, these were because the old lady valued her more, who knew that when I heard it today, I didn't know that the old lady was so trustworthy and favored Xia Hua to this point, so thinking about it, Mother Shi didn't feel that she glanced at Xia Hua more, and her black hair lined her face more and more white, although she was not glamorous, she was also pure and pretty, the most fortunate thing is that people look gentle and lovely, such a character, if you don't say it, who would have thought that it was just a girl.
However, Mother Shi is walking outside, naturally she knows a little about the world, this summer flower is not in the way even if she is a girl, isn't there a saying, I would rather marry everyone than marry a small girl, with the old lady's attention, this summer flower will not be bad in the future, and I still have to make more friends with her in the future.
Thinking like this, Mother Shi hurried the old lady's words, and flattered with a smile: "The old lady's words, the slave and maid look at it too, this Xia Hua is a smart person, but this is also due to the old lady's ability to regulate people, otherwise it will not show the good of Xia Hua." She flattered two at once, which made the old lady laugh happily.
Although Xia Hua knew that most of Mother Shi's words were to make the old lady happy, but after all, people also said that they were good, and she naturally knew that Mother Shi was repaying the peach, Xia Hua looked at her as if she was going to go out, so she had the heart to solve the siege and said: "The old lady loves the slave and the maid too much, this is what she said, where is the slave and the maid as good as the old lady said, the slave and the maid are very ashamed, the old lady can spare the slave and the maid, don't boast with Mother Shi anymore, it's better to let her family laugh, Don't let Mother Shi laugh out loud in front of us, the slave will lose her face. ”
The old lady also had the heart to let Mother Shi go out to do things quickly, and when she saw Xia Hua being so governor, she nodded unconsciously and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, you are also evil today, no matter how much you praised you in the past, I never saw you blush, and now I still put it on, Shi family, you go quickly, Xia Huaxuan has nothing to mess with." "Mother Shi's man's surname is Shi, so everyone calls her Mother Shi.
Mother Shi is indeed a little anxious to go to the courtyard of the second lady, after finishing this, she has to go elsewhere, she is in charge of the news exchanges everywhere, and she is not idle every day, just now the old lady is rarely interested, so it is not good to say it immediately, now the old lady let go, she hurriedly smiled and said goodbye.
Mother Shi came out, and without delay, she was ready to go to the residence of the ladies in the back garden, this section of the road is still a little far, because the old lady's Fuxi Hall is the closest yard to the main courtyard of the grandfather, so it is far away from the residence of the ladies in the back garden, and the yard where the second lady lives is the most partial part of the back garden.
Because she wants to go around a big circle, Mother Shi wants to get up early and go to the second lady first, so as to avoid some people, this is her own selfishness, because she knows that this eldest lady is a difficult person, and she has to be annoyed for a while, although she is an old mother who needs to be used by the old lady's side, how much can she get more face in front of the masters, but no matter what, she is just a subordinate, and some arrogant eldest lady, at most, it is just that the old lady does not dare to scold, if you should ask, the eldest lady will not miss a word, This is a delay.
And then there is Shi's mother is also a little bit of a way back, she is walking outside, and her knowledge is naturally more than that of the ordinary old mother in the back house, as far as the old lady is concerned, she knows it, but in her heart she feels that this matter is unreliable, you must know that even if it is in the way of the Li family's affairs back then, the grandfather of the country does not dare to leave the title to the third young master born to the first Mrs. Li, but there is also the fourth young master born to the step-lady in the family, the eldest young master of the second master's family will never get the position of the son of this world, and it is even more impossible for the second young master to be a concubine.
Mother Shi knew that no matter how much the old lady planned in her heart, as long as the grandfather was still there, it would be impossible to leave the title to someone else's son, so she knew that this mansion would still be a big house sooner or later, even if she was loyal to the old lady, she would not be willing to offend the people in the big house, and she didn't want to make people think that she was close to the second room now, so she wanted to avoid the people in the second room.
You have to know what happened to the second lady's courtyard, and I don't know how much shock it will cause in the back, this eldest lady is a toss, Shi's mother thinks that it is good to avoid it, as long as the things behind her do not involve her, no matter what happens in the back, it will have nothing to do with her, even if the grandfather of the country knows in the future, he will not be angry with her, so thinking about it, Shi's mother hates to have wind under her feet, wings and wings, and once she comes out of the old lady's Fuxi Hall, she estimates that even if she really runs, the old lady can't know, I put down my heart and walked quickly to the back garden.
