Chapter 90 (1/2)
The eldest wife, Zhang, returned to the pine and cypress yard with a tired face.
Her daughter-in-law has to be angry with the old man's restlessness.
Back in the room, just sat down, she asked the maid peony: ”are the people in the second room settled?”
Peony bowed and said, ”reply to Madam, the second room has settled down. In addition, the second girl lost one of her luggage. ”
Zhang's strange, ”lost luggage? What's going on? ”
Peony said: ”mother-in-law sent to Zhi LAN courtyard luggage, for no reason less than one. I've been looking around, but I haven't found it. It could have been lost on the road. ”
”What's in the luggage? Is it valuable? ”
Peony said: ”things are not valuable, are some ornaments, heard not how valuable.”
Zhang frowned slightly, ”did the second wife say anything?”
Peony shakes his head, ”the second wife didn't say anything. The maid looked at it. The second wife didn't want to make a big fuss about it. Listen to the small servant girl below said, the second wife also sent people to the Zhi LAN courtyard to preach, let two girls do not look for luggage in a big way. ”
Zhang immediately laughed, ”it's really rare, her that person, unexpectedly also has the time of keeping calm and not making trouble.”
Zhang's tone is full of scorn and disgust. Obviously, I don't like Xie.
As a good wife, no one is willing to be a sister-in-law with a woman who is supported by a concubine. Lose face, lose share.
I don't know if the second master, Mr. Gu, had a bad head at the beginning. It's better to marry a woman to fill a room than to straighten up a concubine.
Peony asked: ”madam, do you want to send someone to help find the luggage?”
Zhang said, ”of course, it's necessary to help. The second wife, who is a stepmother, doesn't care about Xiao Jiu. As a great aunt, I can't help but care.
Small nine poor, a few months no mother, in the hands of stepmother to make a living. Now I lost my luggage, and my stepmother didn't help her find it, but I couldn't stand idly by.
You go and arrange people to look for luggage in a big way. I'd like to see what kind of face Xie has. ”
Peony immediately laughed, ”or wife wise. The second wife will be disgraced. ”
Zhang Shi laughed. ”It's not the first time she's been humiliated.”
After a pause, Zhang said, ”if you don't kill her, she still thinks she can be equal with my wife. Hum, Xie's family will make trouble sooner or later. She will fight with me for the housekeeper alone
Peony asked quickly, ”what should I do? If the second wife really competes with his wife for the right of housekeeper, it will not be easy for me to deal with it. ”
Zhang's contemptuous smile, ”Xie wants to be the steward, she dreams. If she dares to reach out, I won't be polite and hit her hand back directly.
And look at Xie's appearance, is to want to marry her precious daughter high. It's easy for girls to say marriage, but it's hard to say it's difficult. Look, there are times when she's in trouble
Peony said: ”or the wife thinks long-term. In addition, when the Houfu learned that the second room had come back, he sent someone over. ”
Zhang said: ”you and the people of the Houfu said that tomorrow I will go to the Houfu with the two rooms and a family to say hello.”
”I know.”
Paeonia go out, in accordance with Zhang's instructions.
……
Zhi Lan Yuan almost packed, only a few boxes of books have not been put.
Gu Jiu, with her servants, classifies books according to their contents and places them separately.
Wang Erya, no, Wang Erya has been renamed Wang Yi.
Wang Yi followed Gu Jiu and came to the capital smoothly.
She was curious about everything. Fortunately, she kept in mind the teachings of mother GUI, and followed Gu Jiu's side. She worked diligently.
Wang Yi grows tall, Gu Jiu asks her to help put books.
Wang Yi said, ”the girl has so many books.”
Gu Jiu smiles and asks, ”do you want to read and read? I'll teach you. ”
Wang Yi said, ”how dare you let the girl teach me? I'm stupid. I can't learn well. If you can read a few words with sister Qingmei, you will be satisfied. ”
Gu jiuzuozi.
The dregs of green plum taught Wang Yi to read and read. I don't know the effect.
Green bamboo came in from the outside, ”Qi report girl, the elder sister of peony is coming.”
Gu nine smell speech, ”please peony sister come in quickly.”
Peony was invited into the study. Bow to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu asks: ”Peony elder sister comes over, but big aunt has order?”
Peony said with a smile, ”my wife is very worried when she learns that the second girl has lost a piece of luggage. Let the maid come and ask, what are the characteristics of the lost luggage?
My wife said that the lost luggage of the second girl should be recovered in any case. The luggage of the girl's house must not be picked up. It will damage the reputation of the two girls. ”
Eh?
Gu Jiu's accident.
Previously, Xie specially sent someone to tell her not to look for luggage in a big way.
However, the great aunt did the opposite. It seemed that she wanted to help her find her lost luggage in a big way.Gu Jiu pondered over the matter and said, ”it's a trivial matter, how can you let the great aunt worry.”
”Two girls, don't say that. My wife is the most enthusiastic. It's no small matter that the second girl lost her luggage. ”
Gu Jiu already wants to understand the joints.
Before in the flower hall, she had already seen that the eldest Aunt Zhang and Xie did not deal with each other, and there was obvious squalor between the two sisters in law.
Xie's family did not allow her to look for luggage in a big way. After her Aunt Zhang learned about it, she had to fight against Xie's family. It is to make Xie's face worse and embarrass him.
Gu Jiu smiles, but just back in the capital, she becomes a chess piece for the two wives.
Is she going to be the chess piece?
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and laughed. Xie's face was disgraced. She was happy to see her success.
What's more, peony has a very right saying that the things that the girl used to have at home should never be picked up by people, which has damaged the reputation.
Since the great aunt is eager to help, why should she refuse other people's kindness.
As for Xie's side, Gu Jiu doesn't think about it.
Xie wanted to fight, and his great aunt, Zhang, fought with her.
Gu Jiu said: ”let sister Shaoyao go hard. Please tell Aunt Shaoyao, I am very grateful. The characteristics of the lost luggage, green plum, you and peony sister talk about it
Green plum and peony said: ”my girl's lost luggage is a jujube red wooden box. There is a missing corner in the top left corner of the box. In addition, there are two lines on the bronze lock, in the form of an adult. ”
Peony nods and notes the characteristics of the lost luggage. Then he said, ”second girl, don't worry. My wife will send someone to help you find your luggage.”
”Thank you, auntie. Thank you, sister peony.”
”You are welcome. Let the two girls rest, and the maidservant will leave first. ”
”Green plum, send the peony sister for me.”
Green plum answered, sent peony to the door of discharge, and also sent a local specialty from northwest to peony.
The peony was gladly accepted. After leaving the Zhilan courtyard, I opened the box and found that there was a purse with local specialties. There were two or two silver notes in the purse.
Peony immediately laughed and thought to herself that the two girls would be able to be human and generous enough.
Since the second girl is such a good person, she will do it for her as long as it is not too difficult and as long as she asks for it in front of her.
Although Xie's family has just arrived in the capital city, she has not been able to hide the news from her.
Knowing that Zhang's grandiose search for Gu Jiu's lost luggage, Xie's gas gnaws his teeth.
”My good sister-in-law. What does she want to do? Do you want to lose face or do you want to fight with me? It's just too much of a bully. ”
Xie patted the table in anger.
Chunhe asked cautiously, ”madam, what should we do now? Would you like to send someone to look for the second girl's luggage
”Xie's teeth,” I did not want to cause trouble, but Zhang's bias to pressure me, deliberately find fault. How can this matter be reconciled. Go, take a few people, and the big room together to find two girls lost luggage. It has to be found. ”
”Chunhe bows down to accept orders,” the maid this takes the person to pass
Xie is not reconciled.
Originally, she had sent someone to inform Gu Jiu that she was not allowed to look for luggage in a big way. Now he was grilled on the fire by Zhang's family, so he had to go back and hit himself in the face.
