Chapter 72 Asking for Ideas
Wen Mingqian left Lingyue Pavilion and came to Mrs. Gong in order to let Yunying and Gong Xu be alone.
"Old lady, I'm actually a little busy, and I don't have the right opportunity to ask you for advice." Wen Mingqian said with a smile after sitting down.
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Gong was lying on the Arhat couch, and a little girl was kneeling on the ground and beating her legs.
"What do you think of the two girls I brought to you to pay my respects?" Wen Mingqian was talking about Yunying and Sang Er.
When these two girls first entered the mansion, Wen Mingqian led them over to meet Mrs. Gong.
"They are two very beautiful girls, and they do their duty." Mrs. Gong was not dissatisfied.
“I feel relieved to have the old lady help me with my eyesight,” Wen Mingqian smiled happily, “This is originally to add someone to the master’s house. He must like him and be of good nature.
I think Yunying is older and has a more stable temperament. Let me take her in first.
As for Saner, wait for another year or two. She is naughty at a young age, but she also has to think about her health.”
"You have a very thorough plan." Mrs. Gong was very satisfied with Wen Mingqian's plan. "Just ask him to accept one first! Aunt Song can't serve him for a year and a half. You are too busy on weekdays, so it is inevitable that you will have to worry about it." But when I come."
"Let's do it this way! I'll ask the master later and choose a suitable day to do it," Wen Mingqian said, "There's no need to be too extravagant. It’s just a matter of inviting a few close relatives and friends to come over and have fun.” The old lady said, "Just go ahead and do it. If you are too busy, let your sister-in-law help."
Just as she was talking, Zhang Ma prepared dinner for Mrs. Gong and brought someone to deliver it.
“Zhang Ma’s craftsmanship is so good. Now the old lady is only used to eating her food.” Webster said with a smile, “Especially the medicated meal last night. After drinking two bowls, the old lady actually got better. She said she slept more soundly than usual. ”
"The old slave put a little bit of jujube kernels in it. I think this worked." Zhang Ma said, "Today's porridge is lily pumpkin, which is also suitable for the old lady's taste."
"I Thinking that I haven't had a meal with the old lady for a long time, I simply asked Ma Zhang to cook more dishes. I wonder if the old lady can give me a favor?" Wen Mingqian asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I would like to see more people and more liveliness now." Mrs. Gong was very happy, "It doesn't matter if you eat more, you can just talk with me for a while and you will eat up." ”
While talking, Gong Changan and Sang Er also came, and the two of them were wandering in the garden. Sang Er made a small basket with wicker and decorated it with many flowers, which looked very beautiful.
“This girl San Er is really pretty.” Wei Shi looked at San Er and said with a smile, “Why didn’t Yunying come over?”
"Sister Yunying is serving the master for dinner!" San Er was innocent and innocent. "Our wife said that I was careless and couldn't do detailed work, so she asked me to play with the fourth young master."
Old Man Gong. Renren and Weishi will both agree upon hearing this. This is Wen Mingqian's intention to bring those two people together!
In no time, the food was on the table, and four more dishes were delivered from the big kitchen as usual.
"Both of you, sisters-in-law, sit down and eat with me. Don't stand there." Mrs. Gong is getting older now, her temper is more easy-going than before, and the rules are not so strict. "How can I finish all this food by myself? When I finish eating, you will be cold if you eat any more."
"Brothers and sisters, please sit down! The old lady has spoken. We and the old lady My wife is rushing to eat, maybe it will make her old man eat more." Wei Shi said with a smile, "Chang'an, sit next to your mother, don't eat too much meat for dinner, and let San Er pick up the vegetables for you."
It took less than half an hour to finish the meal. Mrs. Gong must chew carefully and slowly, and others did not dare to rush. Mrs. Gong would sit for a while after meals every day and then ask someone to help her walk a hundred steps around the house.
"As expected, more people eat sweet food. Today I drank half a bowl of porridge more than daily. I can't do the same tomorrow. The old man is most taboo about eating too much for dinner." Gong. The old lady felt quite regretful.
"Half a bowl of porridge is nothing. Besides, Elder Tian's wife can go to bed a little later now." Wen Mingqian said, "Let's talk to you more. Besides, Saner is very good at massage. Let her take care of her later." Just rub it and press it, and I’ll make sure it won’t accumulate food.”
“The little girl has such an ability,” Mrs. Gong glanced at San Er and said with a smile, “She’s so smart. Girl.”
"It is my blessing to be praised by the old lady, and it is my blessing to be able to serve you!" San Er said with a smile.
Wen Mingqian and Wei Shi helped the old lady to the couch, and Sang Er pushed her up in an orderly manner.
“Not to mention that this little girl’s hands are really strong and very comfortable.” Mrs. Gong was very satisfied.
"Grandma, I will stay with you tonight, okay?" Gong Changan asked.
"What's wrong? Didn't grandma say that? You should always stay here with me."
"Then I want Sister San Er to pat me and sleep with me." Palace Chang An pushed for the next step, "Otherwise it would be boring to be alone."
"Just ask San Er to stay!" Wen Mingqian knew that Gong Chang An would be acting when he came back. , there must be someone who can cooperate with him.
After some time, it was almost done. Wen Mingqian and Wei Shi served Mrs. Gong and took a rest before exiting.
Wen Mingqian never forgot to tell his son: "Read a book for a while and then sleep quietly! Don't make any noise and disturb the old lady."
Coming out of Mrs. Gong's room, Tian It's completely dark.
When Wen Mingqian returned to Lingyue Pavilion, Gong Xu was no longer there, but went to the study.
"How are you today?" Wen Mingqian asked Yunying.
“It’s going pretty well, I can see that he’s got his mind on it.” Yunying said, “But he’s still a little bit hesitant.”
“Well, wait another half hour, and you can Go to the study to deliver snacks." Wen Mingqian said, "I told the old lady today that I will officially adopt you as my aunt on a certain day, but I have to ask Gong Er first."
"Madam. , Why does this second palace only have Aunt Song as a concubine? This second palace is very dedicated.”
"There was also Aunt Zhang and a girl who lived with her, but she was defeated by the Song family. The Zhang family has left here. It is said that the girl contracted smallpox and died one year." Wen Mingqian said, "Gong Xu was killed by the Song family. He was confused. Now that you have come, you have stirred up his thoughts.
Besides, taking concubines should always be the responsibility of the head wife. It is not easy for him to do it when I am not at home. Come in."
"Haha, today Gong Xu asked me where Sang Er went. It's the same with men. Before they even eat the food in the bowl, they are already thinking about the food in the pot." Yunying sneered. .
