Chapter 35: Asking for Noodles
Mr. Song got up early and served Gong Xu out the door, and then watched as Gong Baoan was led to the school.
He warned: "It's cloudy, I'm afraid it might rain, so bring an extra set of clothes! Have some ready."
Gong Baoan looked at her eagerly and begged: "I'm going to Can I play with brother Chang'an when I come back from school?"
Since there were many servants in front of him, Mrs. Song couldn't say anything else, so she just replied vaguely: "It will be fine if the fourth young master is not busy."
Gong Baoan then happily got in the car.
When Mrs. Song went back, she felt a little lazy and couldn't cheer up.
Mr. Yang came in and said, "My dear madam, my second son just came back and said that Chen Youde has left the city through Antai Gate." Naturally, all the righteous wealth was recovered.
Mrs. Song nodded: "Let's go! I feel clean after leaving."
Mrs. Yang consoled her, "Don't be discouraged, little madam. This time it was Wen who was lucky. If Mrs. Lu hadn't complained to her, how would she have known about Chen Youde? Otherwise, how would she have had her turn to make fun of him in front of the master?" "
Mrs. Song frowned and said thoughtfully, "I wonder, is this really a coincidence? "
"What else can I do?" Mrs. Yang laughed. "Mrs. Lu is probably afraid to tell the master and you. Firstly, she is afraid that you won't believe her, and secondly, she is afraid of being stopped by someone. It must have been Mrs. Wen who met her when she went out."
"Maybe! But I don't know why, my heart is always up and down." Ms. Song pressed her chest.
"I guess I was frightened yesterday, so why not ask a doctor to take a look." Mrs. Yang said, "Fortunately, there was no danger, and Chen Youde didn't say a word that he shouldn't have said."
< br>
In fact, she was also frightened yesterday, for fear that Wen Mingqian would hold on to her.
"Compared with these, the change in Wen Mingqian's temperament makes me more uneasy," Madam Song said with a hesitant look, "She seems to have some back-up plan."
"Don't ask for more, little madam. Think about it, isn’t it said that it is difficult to change one’s nature? It seems that it is really difficult for her to establish herself now, so she has naturally learned to compromise. As for how profound she is, I don’t believe it.”
“ No matter what, we must be careful in the future and never underestimate the enemy." Mrs. Song raised her eyebrows and braced herself, "There is also a kid like Bao'er who always wants to play with that wild guy. , It’s really...”
Mr. Yang wanted to persuade her again, Liu Yun came in and said: “My dear madam, the Changrong Hou Mansion has sent someone. It’s his wife’s accompanying roommate, Mother Wang, and the fourth lady is here. The girl Yu Nong”
"What did they come for?" Mrs. Song was a little confused. "Did you say anything?"
"They just said they came to visit and brought some gifts." Liu Yun said, "It looks like I have something to ask for."
"What can they ask me for?" Mrs. Song wondered, "Please come in first! Don't keep me waiting."
Mother Wang and Yu. Nong came in with a smile on his face and said hello to Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song also greeted them with a cheerful face and asked: "How are your wife, grandma and young ladies? I haven't seen you for a long time. I still want to go to say hello, but I am not available for a while. Son.”
"You are so polite, young lady, but if you have time, you should really come to our house. Our lady also said that she misses you!" Mother Wang said with a smile, "These are the water shield and dried shrimps they brought back from Jiangnan. , eat something fresh!”
He winked at the little girl beside him.
The little girl stepped forward and put down what she was carrying. Mrs. Song noticed that the other little girl was holding something in her hand, which was obviously much more valuable than the dried water shield and shrimp.
"The little madam is in charge of the affairs of the whole family. She must be very busy, so we won't bother you more. Please take us to see the second madam!" Mother Wang said formally The purpose of coming out, "Our wife sent us here to ask the second wife for help."
"What help do you ask the second lady for?" Mrs. Song asked blurtly. She really couldn't imagine what Wen Mingqian could do to help the Changrong Hou Mansion.
“That’s right, last time the Second Madam hosted a banquet, before she left, she gave my wife and young lady some facial cream and facial medicine.
It just so happened that our fourth lady suffered from peach blossom ringworm a few days ago. , I tried nothing but the facial medicine given by the Second Madam, it disappeared a lot in just one day and night, and it was completely cured after three days of use," Yu Nong, the fourth lady's personal maid, said, "It makes our girl happy. It doesn't work, now I don't have to worry about not being able to see anyone anymore
But these days have been used up, and Madam is afraid of doing it again, so she asked us to ask the Second Madam for more noodles, so that we can always keep them. There is nothing you can do if you commit a crime for the time being."
"So that's it," Mrs. Song felt jealous in her heart, but on the surface she still behaved as gentle and gentle as before, "Then I will accompany you there! Originally, I didn’t go to pay my respects to Madam today!”
"Then there is Mrs. Lao." Mother Wang quickly thanked her.
Ms. Song and Mrs. Yang stood up and led them to Lingyue Pavilion.
Ma Zhang was eating melon seeds on the porch. When she saw Mrs. Song bringing many people, she spat out a mouthful of melon seed peels and relaxed her shoulders.
"Old sister, is Madam here? Someone from the Changrong Hou Mansion has come to visit." Mrs. Yang said from afar.
"Madam is here! Invite the guests in!" Zhang Ma said and smiled at Wang Mama and Yu Nong with a very friendly attitude.
"We have been presumptuous in coming today." Mother Wang said, "Please forgive me, madam."
"It's embarrassing to say this. You are distinguished guests, please come in." Mother Zhang is very nice when she is not fierce. He was easy-going. After Wang's mother and Yu Nong entered, he stopped Mrs. Song and Mrs. Yang with a straight face.
"Mother Zhang, I also want to go in and say hello to my wife." Mrs. Song said, "Why don't you stop me?"
"What's the good thing?" Mother Zhang said coldly Huh, "Madam, you don't need to say hello, you still have to accompany the guests!"
Of course Mrs. Song didn't want to say hello to Wen Mingqian, she just wanted to hear what Wen Mingqian and the people in the Changrong Hou Mansion had to say.
"Old sister, there are guests here. How rude of you!" Mrs. Yang said, "It's not good for outsiders to see the joke."
"What joke? It's because the lady insisted on going in without seeing you. Is this a joke?" Zhang Ma said, rolling her eyes.
"This...this is nothing. I have always been respectful to Madam." Mrs. Song said innocently.
"Yes! Who doesn't know that the young lady knows etiquette best." Mrs. Yang quickly helped.
"In this case, madam, there are still many scriptures that have not been copied. Madam, take it back and copy it. I heard that you are also literate." Zhang Ma looked at Mrs. Song and smiled maliciously. , "It is a good thing to get closer to Buddhism. Maybe you can develop some compassion."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Changan walked out of the room, holding a scroll of scriptures in his hand.
Mother Zhang took it and handed it to Mrs. Yang, and said to her: "You should chant along with me even if you have nothing to do. It is a sign of good deeds." Update, please vote and support. I wish you all a fruitful harvest this autumn!
