Chapter 40: The Mallet
Mother Shi was really unable to get out of being dragged by Mama Lan like this, knowing that if she didn't say anything today, she would not be able to get out, and when she encountered such a faceless splash, Mama Shi was also helpless, angry, angry, not scolding, so she had to grit her teeth, grabbed Mama Lan's hand, and said again and again: "Old sister, don't be busy, I have something to do, so I won't chatter." ”
Where can Mama Lan throw away her hand, if she doesn't have some exact news this time, she will lose face in front of the eldest lady, looking at Mother Shi's slippery appearance, knowing that she doesn't mention it, don't think that Mother Shi can tell the truth, so she asked honestly: "Look at the old sister's appearance, but go to the second lady, say that I am not afraid that the old sister will be angry, if the old lady is not in a hurry to wait, I think you should not be in a hurry, this second lady is delicate and expensive, and she can be a little tired when the wind blows, so early she is afraid that she is still asleep, If the old sister makes her owe sleep and makes the second lady uncomfortable, it will not be good. ”
Mama Lan said this is not good, but it is right, Mother Shi was a little hesitant when she heard this, the reason why she came so early was not that the old lady was anxious to know the result, but that she wanted to come early to avoid the entanglement of the eldest lady, this time she was tripped by Mama Lan anyway, she did think of the body of the second miss, knowing that the second miss was weak and not suitable for ice, thinking that it must be impossible to sleep at night, this morning a little light wind blowing in the house can also be cooler, it seems that the second miss is really likely to be sleeping at this hour, After all, she doesn't have to say hello to anyone, it's still okay to sleep more.
Thinking about it like this, Mother Shi also settled down, so she followed Mama Lan's strength to pull her to stand still, although she could delay for a while, but she would not go to the eldest lady's yard, this is not only annoying the eldest lady but also the old lady, you must know that the old lady arranged for her to go to the second lady's yard, she didn't go to the second lady's yard for the first time, but went to the eldest lady's yard to chatter, and the old lady knew that it was a lawsuit, how could she do such a stupid thing?
I was afraid that my mind would be noticed by Mama Lan, and I would cause something to do, and I knew that if I didn't say something, it would be difficult to get out today, so I hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay, it's still the old sister who thinks thoughtfully, I thank you here, but don't go to the eldest lady's yard, I don't have to disturb the eldest lady's affairs, it's not good to delay the old lady to ask for encore, go, let's sit here." "Their place is right by the lotus pond, there is a pavilion here to rest, Mother Shi was afraid that Mama Lan would pull her to the courtyard of the eldest lady, so she first pulled Mama Lan to sit in the pavilion.
Mama Lan didn't have to pull Mother Shi to the eldest lady's yard, the reason why she behaved like this just now was just because she was afraid that Mother Shi would not want to talk to her, this time since Mother Shi did what she wanted, she was naturally as good as she wanted, so she smiled and took Mother Shi's hand into the pavilion and sat down cleanly, as soon as she sat down, she asked anxiously: "I really said it, what is the old sister doing in the yard of the second lady?" The old lady really felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she told the old sister to see it early in the morning. "It's not up to par, it's sour.
Mother Shi doesn't look down on Mama Lan the most, and she doesn't think of herself as an outsider when she asks this question, who does she look at? It's just a grandmother next to a young lady, where did you get the courage to inquire so bluntly, there is such a stupid and flamboyant grandmother, I really don't know what the eldest lady will do in the future, thinking of the eldest lady's temperament for a while, Shi's mother sighed unconsciously, these two people really don't know who taught whom.
These are just by the way, Shi's mother is not in the mood to worry about others, she won't say more words in front of her, since Mama Lan wants to ask, Shi's mother also took the opportunity to say: "It's nothing, but it's just pity that the second lady is weak, thinking that the aunt will come back in a few days, and she has no personal notice here, the old lady wants me to go and say by the way, and see when the aunt comes to the house, the second miss may go to the front to meet, this moment the second miss and the aunt have not seen each other for a year or two, in the end, it is the niece of the in-laws, Mrs. Gu thought to herself. ”
Mother Shi's words seem to be complete, but in fact, they are useless at all, they are all clichés, Mama Lan is just a little more public, her brain is not bad, where would the old lady and Mrs. Gu think about the second miss, this Shi's mother's words are just beautiful words on the surface, but if there are too many, she also knows that people will not really tell her, in fact, she has more or less guessed Mama Shi's intention to go to the second miss, since it has been confirmed, she can be regarded as having an explanation in front of the eldest lady, and this is it.
There is no need to rush to inquire about the news, Mama Lan is also in the mood to say clichés, so she nodded and agreed: "Also, such a lovely young lady, not to mention the aunt and the old lady, they often think about it, our eldest lady is also often distressed, often say that if she is not afraid that she will disturb the second lady's rest, she wants to go to see it for a while, but thinking about the old lady's explanation, taking care of the second lady's body, our eldest lady has to regret it." ”
Mother Shi listened to Mama Lan's words that were not too round, and she was very contemptuous in her heart, you said that you want me to let me know how friendly the eldest lady is and sisters, and you should also take some practical action, isn't it easy to send things if people don't go! It's a pity that there is a foundation from three years ago, and no one will believe that the eldest lady feels sorry for the second miss if the sky is broken, and then you want to sell it well and are afraid that the old lady will misunderstand the eldest lady and go to find the second miss privately against her will, and all the good and bad things have been said by you, is it really a fool?
However, Mother Shi will not be the same as not treating herself as an outsider, listening to her words, she also smiled and sighed: "The eldest lady is really a friendly sister, it is rare to think about the second miss from time to time, for the body of the second lady, our old lady is also entangled, but the old lady's words are also right, the eldest lady and the third miss and the fourth miss are also the heart and liver of the old lady, but you can't be tired of everyone for the second miss, you go back or take care of the eldest lady to listen to the old lady's words, just rest by yourself." ”
Mama Lan was overjoyed when she heard this, it seems that she was right just now, and sure enough, Mother Shi, who is usually lame, doesn't she also smile and praise our eldest lady, Mother Shi knows, and I'm afraid that the old lady doesn't know? Later, she can ask the eldest lady for credit, of course, she has to let the eldest lady wake up, and she must not have anything to do with the unlucky second lady again, the old lady doesn't like it, thinking about it like this, she is afraid that what she just said will misunderstand Mother Shi, so she hurriedly promised: "Old sister, don't worry, our young lady only thinks about it from time to time in her heart, and she doesn't dare to nag the second miss, the old lady's words, our eldest lady remembers it firmly." ”
Mother Shi looked at Mama Lan's face, and knew what she was planning in her heart, so it was okay, she was thinking about beating and knocking on the words, but she didn't have to go, Mama Lan provoked the eldest lady to have any bad thoughts, if she caused trouble, the sin could have her share, and then not only the third young master would hate herself, but the old lady would also dislike it, then she would be wronged to death, so she softened her tone more and more, and praised: "It's still the eldest lady who has a heart, and I can't complain about the old lady who values her the most, my words, the old sister just remember it in her heart, But don't go around talking about it. ”
Mother Shi's words are not true or false, it is very into Mama Lan's intentions, thinking that the old lady usually looks at her eldest lady differently, I don't think there is any moisture in Mama Shi's words at all, the eldest lady has to be valued by the old lady, and her face is also bright, but she is in a hurry to show her merit to the eldest lady, but she doesn't want to gossip with Mama Shi anymore, so she looked at the sky and said apologetically: "Old sister is not too early this time, I think the second lady should also get up, our eldest lady is probably about the same, I should go back to serve, The old sister should also hurry up to the second lady. ”
Mother Shi was already a little impatient, but if she was in a hurry, it seemed that there must be something important to go to the second lady, and finally dispelled Mama Lan's suspicions, she didn't want to cause trouble again, in fact, her intention to go to the second miss was to let Mama Lan know, after all, the old lady liked the eldest lady to marry into the Ningxi Hou Mansion, and this beating the second miss was not equivalent to supporting the eldest lady.
However, Mother Shi felt that if this was replaced by the fourth lady to investigate, she might be able to reveal one or two, but unfortunately the person who came here was Mama Lan, their master and servant were a virtuous person, and their ambition was rampant, if this was to rely on the old lady's will, and then do something out of the ordinary, she would be doomed, for the sake of her future life, she got up busily and said: "That's right, we are all serving people, but we can't delay the errand, the old sister hurry up, the eldest lady's matter matters, I don't have anything, that is, take a look at the second miss." , Say a few words, go slowly, you hurry up and go first. ”
What she said made Mama Lan even more happy, and she got up with her busyness, patted the wrinkles that didn't exist on her body, and said modestly: "Where is it like what the old sister said, our eldest lady's business is important, but the old sister is so busy that she has big things to do, where is not busy, I won't delay the old sister's time here, so I will take the first step." After speaking, he smiled at Shi's mother and nodded, and walked out of the pavilion first.
Mother Shi looked at Mama Lan's proud back, she was really speechless, she said this politely, but the actions she made were not authentic, why didn't you let me go first if you weren't busy? If this temperament is that the eldest lady really marries into the Ningxi Hou Mansion, Mama Lan should not take it with her, otherwise she will have to cause trouble to the eldest lady, other people's families are not as tolerant of you as their own family, and they are daughters-in-law, Mrs. Gu is not a good-tempered person, nieces and daughters-in-law are not the same thing, but these are not under her control, Shi's mother smiled and passed, thinking about it and delaying for a while, the second miss is sleepy, it is time to get up, she also patted the hem of her clothes and walked out of the pavilion.
The boundary where these two people are talking is in the pavilion, not around, there is no shelter around, people can't get close, there is not much wind in the morning, even if they are downwind, they can't hear anything, and the two people who talk are old poles, and the sound is not loud, so these people who come to eavesdrop and touch the fish can only stare dryly.
