403 Good intentions
Picking up the curtain and looking at the unchanged palace on the first floor, Chu Liangrao had a lot of feelings.
After walking for a while, the sedan chair carrying the two stopped, and Huo Tainan walked down first, carrying Chu Liangrao out of the sedan chair.
The two held hands, interlocked their fingers, and smiled at each other.
When I entered the main hall, I heard a trembling voice calling: "My son, come and show my grandmother!" ”
Chu Liangrao's heart trembled, and when she looked at the old lady, her eyes were filled with tears at some point, and when she stepped forward, she saluted in a proper manner, and then let go of her body and let Huo Tainan salute.
Huo Tainan followed and saluted very solemnly.
The old lady looked at her granddaughter and then at Huo Tainan, and said yes again and again, but she couldn't say anything except good.
"Old lady, the county lord and the county horse must also be tired, what might as well sit down and talk?"
The old lady dipped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "But I'm confused, you don't have to be restrained, sit down." ”
Sitting down, Chu Liangrao asked about the old lady's body, and learned that she was much better, so she was relieved. And the old lady asked about her body, and told Chu Liangrao about trivial matters.
Chu Liangrao listened patiently, with a smile on her face, and when the old lady was ventilating, she looked at Huo Tainan and said, "I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, but I have a lot to say, why don't you go and say hello to your father first?" ”
The old lady thought about it too, and she nodded her head in approval.
Huo Tainan got up to say goodbye, and then went to find Chu Chaoyang.
"Come, Auntie, sit next to Grandmother." The old lady beckoned, "Let me take a good look." ”
Chu Liangrao sat down obediently, and the old lady took her hand and rubbed it gently.
"'Pretty 'good' 'Pretty good' good, it's really fat." The old lady said.
Hearing this, Chu Liangrao couldn't help but hang a black line on her head, what she was most afraid of was this, and she couldn't avoid it if she couldn't think of it.
After that, the old lady changed her words and asked with concern, "Do you have a separate room to sleep in these days?" ”
Chu Liangrao couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said honestly: "It's a 'bed' that is divided, but my lord feels sorry for me, so he is taking care of Auntie at night." ”
"How does this work?" The old lady frowned slightly, "Your body is at a critical time now, don't let him go, if something really happens, then it will be too late to regret." ”
Chu Liangrao's cheeks were as red as ripe shrimp, she lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Master won't." ”
"You." The old lady patted the back of Chu Liangrao's hand and taught, "This man is going to open the meat, and he will only think about it, where can he bear it?" ”
Chu Liangrao was speechless, the originally good atmosphere was made terrible by the old lady's words, but she couldn't refute the old lady, saying don't worry, my family is all solved by hand, right?
Seeing that she didn't speak, the old lady thought that she had listened to her words, so she finished her words: "Among your four dowry maids, the cloves have received the most favor from you, why don't you promote her again, accept her and make a room, and let her drink the soup after the fact." ”
"Grandmother......" Chu Liangrao looked at the old lady helplessly, but she didn't know how to explain, to let the old lady know that she not only wanted to expel Lilac but also ordered her to be married, I don't know what the old lady said.
Just talking about it, the old lady will definitely make a hindrance from the matter of the lilac.
This is the generation gap, Chu Liangrao sighed in her heart, she didn't know that the old lady was for her good, but she resisted these things from the bottom of her heart, but the old lady felt that it was not a concubine, and it was nothing to find a room without children for her husband's family.
"You are a housewife, and you must have this bearing." The old lady said bitterly, "Look at the fate of Princess Yin Hua, where is this man's mind more reliable than his own heir, don't you think about it?" Grandmother watched you grow up, will she hurt you? ”
Chu Liangrao's mind sank, she didn't agree or deny, she only said, "Grandmother, I'll go see my father." ”
"Hey, you kid ......" The old lady let go of her hand, a little hated that iron could not become steel, "That's it, you go, it should be grandmother's '' heart." ”
Seeing that the old lady lost her temper, Chu Liangrao did not persuade her as well as before, but saluted and said goodbye.
The old lady couldn't help choking, she patted the armrest, and looked angry: "It's really hard to get married, and you don't take my grandmother in your eyes at all, thanks to my kindness and kindness to plan for her, she is good, but she wants to go her own way......" Saying, she gasped heavily, picked up the hot tea at hand and drank it all.
Mother Qiu patted her on the back and said, "Old lady, you are angry." The county lord and the county horse are now in love with each other, and they can't listen to persuasion, and when she suffers a loss, she will know that the old lady is good. ”
There was no trace of flattery, the old lady was depressed a little, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a compassionate face: "It's also my eldest child, where can I afford to see her suffer?" Ay! ”
With a long sigh, the old lady closed her eyes and said nothing, only turning the Buddha beads in her hand quickly.
Seeing the old lady's appearance, Qiu's mother was not in a hurry to say anything, but after the old lady calmed down, she said: "You also know that the county lord has an extraordinary relationship with those maids, but I am afraid that it will be reluctant to let her cut her love, why don't you pick two well-behaved and sensible maids from the mansion to go over, won't this be all the county lord's mind?" ”
The old lady flicked the hand of the Buddha bead for a moment, opened her eyes and glanced at Qiu's mother thoughtfully, and said, "You have a way." ”
This sentence could not be heard praise or criticism, and Qiu's mother did not dare to respond, but just laughed dryly twice and asked, "Old lady, who do you think is appropriate?" ”
Wearing the Buddha beads, the old lady's face was 'revealed' and contemplative, she was reluctant to play the four maids of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she estimated that she couldn't move, as for Chu Chaoyang, there were no maids to serve at all, except for these big maids, the rest of the little maids seemed to be unsatisfactory.
Thinking about it, the old lady said, "Ming'er, you go to the tooth shop to have a look, and find two people who look good and know the rules." ”
This sounds easy, but it's hard to do, if you want to know the rules, most of them are maids who don't want in other people's houses, how many of these maids can look good and understand the rules? Even so, Qiu's mother still couldn't refuse, so she had to respond.
Thinking about the feasibility of this matter, the old lady said again: "Don't let the county lord know about this matter, just send people to the county horses, and when the time comes, the raw rice will be cooked, and Auntie will not be able to find me even if she makes trouble." "The old lady is wise!" Qiu's mother praised with a smile. The old lady chuckled lightly and said, "Where is the wisdom or not, but for the sake of their little two, I have taken great pains." As she spoke, she sighed again, "Auntie, this kid knows my mind best, and this time she must understand my good intentions." ”
