Chapter 91 Xiao San came to stay
There were high trees on both sides of the road, and the weak cool wind blew from the cracks and drove away the sultry road. Another row of convoys passed by, raising countless sand and dust, making everyone like the natives, with a dim and earthy face, showing white teeth and smiling like seeing a ghost.
After all, stewor Wu was old and couldn't stand riding a horse for a while, so he had to squeeze the carriage with people. His whole body was as hot as in the rain, sweating, and walking into the land where there were few people, he took off his clothes and round his arms. He shouted twice, which scared the birds in the woods to fly far away, making everyone laugh.
Madam, I miss you. If only you could come out with me! Liang Mu stopped his handwriting, with a happy smile all over his cheeks, and a sweet smile in his mind. No matter how hard it was on the road, he did not feel it. He collected the letter paper and handed it to the messenger returning to Cangzhou.
Ruoyu put away the letter with a smile and held it in her arms. She felt that her chest was warm. Dong'er saw her smiling white teeth and came over with a smile and said, "Madam, the master has only been gone for a few days. Have you received a letter so soon?"
"Yes! It's really every three days like three autumns!" Xiaoqiu raised her eyebrows and said that she was quite catty. Ruoyan squeezed her mouth and smiled, and one of them gave them a chestnut to eat. They exhaled bitterly, "Are you all right? Don't be busy yet." Everyone dispersed.
When Juan'er saw that the person had dispersed, she slowly came over and blessed her body. "Madam, I saw Cai'er in the old lady's room yesterday and muttered to a woman at the back door, saying who would pick up who to come in today?"
Who do you want to pick up? Ruo muttered in her heart that Du Sanniang took it in. It's not that there was nothing wrong, and she didn't bother to pay attention to them. He waved his hand lazily, "No matter what they do, it's really idle." Ruozhu stood up, looked at the door and shouted, "Dong'er, why hasn't the iced snow pear soup been ready yet? Is it going to kill me?"
It's really strange. There were a lot of people just now! Why is there no one in a blink of an eye? Juaner looked around doubtfully, "Madam, I'll have a look." After saying that, she turned around and walked away. Ruoyan continued to lie there and take a nap, but the backyard had already started to make trouble.
As soon as Donger came out of his wife's room, she remembered that the Sydney soup had not been delivered. She hurried to the kitchen to get it. As soon as she entered the room, she bumped into a table full of chicken, duck and fish. The cook sat around, eating, drinking, laughing and talking.
"Yoh! Is it really lively? Have you forgotten your wife's Sydney soup? Donger raised her eyebrows and stared angrily. She was so scared that Mrs. Chen had just raised her chopsticks. She quickly put down and greeted her with a smile, "Isn't this Sister Dong? Come and get your wife's Sydney soup? What's inside! I'm going to get it." Donger was still cold-browed before. Suddenly, she saw Mrs. Chen replying and wondered. Isn't this kitchen in charge of Mrs. Wang? He asked, "Where's Mrs. Wang?"
Mrs. Chen hit her head and pointed to the east wing: "Oh! I was called over to ask questions by the old lady, but I haven't come back yet!" Donger nodded and reached out to take the snow pear soup. As soon as she passed, she felt something was wrong. Why didn't she even have a little ice balm? How can she drink it?
Donger was stunned and said, "Where's the ice? On this hot day, how can you make your wife swallow it if there is no ice? Mrs. Chen said bitterly, "Sister Dong didn't know anything. Last night, the old lady shouted that it was so hot. In the middle of the night, she took all the ice cubes left in the ice cellar to the room, so..."
"So it's not here, madam?" Dong'er smiled strangely, which made Mrs. Chen's neck shrink and shrink in. "This old lady is really true. Why do you think it's all used up? What else will be used in the future?" Liu's daughter-in-law was also helping to speak softly.
Dong'er glanced at the corners of her mouth and sneered. Looking at the wine and meat on the table, he swove his arms and threw the plates, bowls and chopsticks on the table to the ground, and scolded, "It's really fed you white-eyed wolves. You don't even know who the master is, right? Madam, you have to think about this piece of ice balm, but the other end is crisp. If you take it away, you will take it all away. You gatekeepers are all shit-eating, right?
"Madam doesn't have anything to eat, but you have a good meal. I let you eat, and I won't let you have anything to eat in the future." The more she said, the more angry she became. She grabbed a roast chicken and smashed the women who were avoiding disasters. She was so scared that they all ran away. Dong'er kicked the table, stool and chair.
The Mrs. Chen jumped anxiously aside, but she also knew what Donger's temper was. Even the master had to give her a three-point thin face. How dare she stop her? She only asked her to vent her anger quickly.
After a while, Donger was really tired. She sat on the stool and gasped. Several cooks stared at Mrs. Chen, but none of them dared to squeak. She was so angry that Mrs. Chen scolded in her heart. What the girl said was generally a group of white-eyed wolves who couldn't lift, thinking that the lady was easy to talk. Unbridled. Fearing that the old lady was harsh, she obeyed everything. It was Mrs. Wang from her mother's house who refuted a few times and was called to go there and hasn't come back yet.
Mother Chen tiptoed over the debris and smiled in front of Donger: "Sister Dong is relieved? Don't ruin your body because of our disappointing anger!" Donger snorted coldly from her nostrils and pointed to the bowl of Sydney soup, "I don't care what you do. Anyway, this pear soup must be cold. You can light it up!" After saying that, he got up and left.
Mrs. Chen looked at the bowl of Sydney soup and wanted to cry. As soon as Donger got to the door, she saw a man dragged out of the old lady's yard. She trot over and looked carefully that it was Mrs. Wang, who was pushed down to the ground by two strong women.
Mrs. Wang's face was red, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding. Donger quickly helped her up. After asking, it turned out that Mrs. Wang did not agree with the old lady to take away the few remaining ice cubes for fan use, so she was called over by the old lady and beaten to look like this.
Donger was so angry that she stood outside the yard and scolded for a while, but after all, she was a lowly girl. She couldn't directly question the old lady without the rules and took the injured Mrs. Wang to complain to her wife.
"How can it be that you lynching people like this for the sake of ice cubes?" Ruoyu slapped the table, making the eardrums buzz. Xiaolan took the cold towel and applied it to Mrs. Wang's face. The pain made her take a few breaths. Seeing that her wife was so angry for herself, she was quite moved. She shook her head and said, "Madam, I'm a servant. Don't be unhappy with the old lady because of me. It's good to go back to recover."
Ruoyu was about to say yes, but Dong'er said angrily, "Madam, this can't be like this. You don't know the slaves in the backyard. When you see that your wife is easy to talk, you dare to deceive her, but you are afraid that the old lady is very hot. If this matter is over, those white-eyed wolves will have to turn upside down?"
This is reasonable. Diao Nu was taught by a cowardly master. Ruo has always thought that it is best to compare heart to heart, but what's wrong with Linzi? It's not that you are good to him, but that he treats you wholeheartedly. It's also time for Lili to be powerful. Let's go! Please greet my old lady."
Before she came to the old lady's door, she was intercepted by Xia'er. She hurriedly pulled Ruo Ying and spoke to the side. During this period, Xia'er felt that Du Sanniang was strange and had to go out for a walk every day. Every time she came back, her face was full of spring.
Xia'er felt strange and ordered the girl to follow her to see where she had gone. The girl has been with her to a small family in Liuxiang. You should know that the people living in Liuxiang are all private prostitutes. The girl thought that Du Sanniang was probably obsessed with someone's little husband, so she rushed back to return.
Xia'er got the news and was overjoyed. With a cold face, she remembered what Juaner said this morning, Cai'er said who she would take over. Is it Du Sanniang's private meeting? Du Sanniang is a sharp weapon chosen by Mrs. Du. Is it possible that she can't develop here in Liangmu? Du Sanniang found a good match for herself?
"That's good. If they fall in love with each other, I will fulfill them." If Yu said it simply, Xia'er's anxious face wrinkled into steamed buns, "Madam! You are cheerful and don't want to think about the reputation of the Lian family. Although Du Sanniang is not a young lady in our house, she also has something to do with, but she likes to have a face. How bad would it be if it spread out?
Listening to the first two words, Ruo's chest was inexplicable, and her face became more and more ugly. As soon as Xia'er finished speaking, she remembered Lin Bai and felt that what she said was a little unpleasant. She squeezed her lips and smiled and apologized.
If you wave your hand, "It's okay! Let's not worry about it here. Let's go to the old lady's place and see what she means!" Xia'er nodded and hurriedly followed.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the piano music coming from the room. I was really in a good mood! The two maids were chatting and laughing at the head of the door. Seeing the lady coming, Yingying hurriedly helped to hit the curtain and whisper to inside: "Old lady, Madam is here to greet you."
"Come in, daughter-in-law." If you come to comfort him every day, Du's voice has been as sweet as today, and he has nothing to pay attention to him. He is a traitor or a thief. Ruoyan crossed the screen and saw Du's leisurely sitting on the couch. Du Sanniang leaned on Du's lap affectionately and said something with a smile. Seeing Ruoyu coming, she bowed down and blessed her body. She warmly reached out and pulled her over and sat down.
"Is it good to listen to this song, sister-in-law?" Du Sanniang's eyes floated to the woman playing the song. Ruoyan looked over together and felt very familiar at a glance, as if she had seen it there. The woman also got up with a smile and blessed her: "Song Yujing, I have met my wife."
Song Yujing, I have never heard of this name. Ruoyan smiled and praised: "The style of music is good." Du and Du Sanniang looked at each other. Du Sanniang quickly helped Song Yujing sit down. "They are all her own family. Why are you so polite? My sister-in-law is a good man!"
"Family? What's the matter?" Xia'er's eyes were vicious and had long recognized the identity of the surname Song. "He is just a singer, and he still wants to talk to my wife about his family. The third lady is really funny.
Listening to Xia'er's fierce language, Song Yujing reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "This woman is right. How can she talk about a family with such a rich person as his wife!"
Du Shi smiled kindly, "Yujing said something wrong. Is this a family or not it's up to me?"
"Your son?" Donger sneered: "Didn't you go back to the west early? That is, the eldest lady has married into a woman. Where is your son?" Donger's words are very hurtful. If Du Shi would have scolded early in the morning, but today it's really abnormal. Du Shi smiled and waved his hand, "This girl is getting more and more funny. Isn't Lian Mu my son? Daughter-in-law, don't you think so?
"Exact." Ruoyuan blessed her body and stared back at Donger: "This girl has spoiled her daughter-in-law. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Du Shi waved his hand very brightly, "Isn't your mother such a stingy person? Don't talk, laugh or be lively, don't you think?" The next girls held their stinky feet and laughed and shouted yes. Dong'er sped her mouth and didn't squeak.
The girl who served tea came over. Du Sanniang got up and poured tea with someone, and even poured a cup with Mrs. Song, who played the piano. It was really unusually hospitable. Ruoyan picked up the teacup and slid down to her lips and put it down. Her eyes floated at the woman surnamed Song.
The green silk is black and flowing with hairpin, with a phoenix head hairpin, the face is as white as a rock, slightly pink, beautiful eyebrows, slightly straight and exquisite nose wings, pink thin lips, although it is not beautiful, but also a painful woman.
When Song Yujing saw Ruoying looking at her, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He smiled and said, "Do you remember me, madam?" Ruoyan shook her head and said with a smile, "A few days ago, my wife's family hosted guests and friends. I once came to play music to cheer up with the ladies."
"You said that Lian Mu invited you to come at that time, right?" Ruo Ying also laughed, and her voice was gentle and could not hear anything wrong, but her heart was half cold. It turned out that she had always remembered it and thought that she had forgotten it after drinking too much! Ruo Yan sneered and looked at Du, "So your mother also likes to listen to music?"
Du nodded, "I don't like to listen to it very much, but Yujing's playing music is hard to listen to, and I can't listen to it all day." She suddenly straightened up, "Yes, I haven't told you about Yujing and Lian Mu, have I? They have known each other since childhood, and they are also a pair of childhood sweethearts. If Lian Mu hadn't gone to Liang's house at that time, how could they have been separated! This is all mine!" Du Shi said and shed two lines of tears, took Song Yujing's hand, and apologized: "Yujing, it was all my old lady who was confused at that time, otherwise it wouldn't have ruined your good marriage."
Good marriage! Childhood sweetheart! On the way back, Ruo Ying recalled these two sentences over and over again. If Du hadn't driven away Lian Mu at the beginning, he would not have been surnamed Liang and would not have met himself. Maybe they were really a couple!
It's a pity that the world is ermanent...
It is often said that people who love first love don't understand love, but they can remember it for life, can't they? Lian Mu remembered her, so he protected her, closed her, and guarded herself as an outsider? Is that right? It must be.
"Madam, can you talk? If you feel uncomfortable there, why don't you tell me if you are unhappy? Seeing her confused appearance, Xia Er burst into tears and knelt on her lap and pushed her. Donger was angry and anxious. Thinking that Du Shi had just said that he would stay in the house for a few days, his wife did not even object, so the defeated rooster retreated.
along the way, he looked even more muddle-headed. He was both distressed and scared. He said angrily, "I really don't know what my wife thinks. Since she doesn't like her, it's okay to be kicked out. You are the lady on your head. Who dares to deny what you mean?"
Ruoqi snorted coldly, "If you drive out, will the master be distressed when he comes back?"
"Do you feel distressed? Why don't you hurt him to death?" Donger has always been open-mouthed. This was too much. Xia'er got up and pinched her arm fiercely. "You have nothing to do, right? Don't go any further and be annoying here.
Dong'er stared angrily, "Don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of me, okay? Isn't your father watching your wife by your master's side? Why is there no news at all? Don't go back and teach your men a lesson and pinch me out, right?"
Xia'er scolded silently and wiped her tears with anger. Ruoyu was even more upset, "Go down, go down, don't quarrel in front of me."
"Madam, I will teach him a lesson. If it's really like Donger said, I will divorce him and can't spend time with him." Xia'er ran out crying. Ruoyan shouted angrily, "Xiaoqiu, go and stop her. She has been pregnant for several months. Why don't you let me worry?"
Dong'er saw someone chase her out and regretted what she had just said. She knelt in front of Ruoyu. "Madame Donger is wrong. Please punish her. Madam, just don't be angry."
"Go down! I'm tired." Ruo Ying got up, Juaner hurried over to help her and wink at Donger to let her go down. Donger came out of his wife's room. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She turned around and sneaked into the old lady's room to eavesdrop.
Du Sanniang was talking about the way to play the piano with Song Yujing. She talked and laughed like a sister. Du ate tea leisurely and answered a few words from time to time. There was nothing to listen to it. Donger was about to give up, so she heard Du Sanniang say, "Aunt, the second brother said that when he came back, he would marry Sister Yujing. Door, but is it true?
"That's what Lian Muxin told you. Can you fake it? Yujing! Just stay here and give you a name when Lian Mu comes back. Du and his entourage said, took out a letter wrapped in paper from his arms and displayed it in front of Song Yujing: "Lian Mu is out, but he can't worry about you. He is afraid that something will happen to you, so we will take you and take care of you. Don't look outside. Just rely on his thoughts about you, you will also be an aunt in the future. Don't be like the conscienceless Lanshi, who just despised me as a widow.
When Song Yujing saw Du's words, he shed tears and cried bitterly. "Old lady, don't worry, if the day I come to the door in the future, Yujing will definitely persuade her sister to honor you."
"Sister Yujing still picks up love, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't!" Du Sanniang remembered that she had thought about the door several times, but she was so sad that she was rejected by her door. When Song Yujing heard her words, she also shook her head with a smile, "Lian Mu treated me very well, and also said that she would take good care of me in the future and would definitely not go back on her promise."
"Alas..." Du Sanniang sighed, "That's naturally good, but you should also know that Lan's jealous woman is famous. I'm afraid that the second brother can't beat her at that time!"
Before listening to her, Song Yujing had already burst into tears and took Du's hand. Yingying said eagerly, "If it's really difficult for Lian Mu, then I won't ask for a false name. As long as I can stay with Lian Mu, it's good."
"Good boy." Du wiped a handful of tears, held her in his arms, and patted her back to comfort her: "It's hard for Lian Mu to find such a good daughter even with a lantern! Why do you want to be alone?"
Suddenly hearing the sound of rushing in the backyard, Du Sanniang shouted, "Who?" A head poked out of the window, and it was Caier with a hippie smile: "Three Lady, the maidservant just saw a cat running away." Du Sanniang looked at the tender grass flatten by Donger and smiled.
