The grandmother said coldly, "Go and tell your mother what happened yesterday and she won't come this morning!" Don't you know what I mean? "
I know exactly what you mean, and I don't want her to get mixed up in it.
Do you think that she doesn't have enough suffering?
I stood in front of my grandmother, head bowed, refusing to make a sound.
The two of us, grandfathers and grandsons, faced each other in silence.
I secretly flexed my fingers in my sleeve and calculated the cost of the feast.
"Sigh …" Grandma couldn't help but sigh. "You little kid, you really made your mother learn to be extremely stubborn!"
I don't quite agree with my grandmother.
She was indeed a strong woman, and she would never have fallen to such a state.
Grandmother saw me raise my eyebrows and knew that I didn't believe her. She smiled bitterly and said, "You don't believe me! Back then before your mother got married, I advised her not to be arrogant. Be careful of the strong Mu, and just do her duty as a wife. But how did she do it … "
I couldn't help looking up at my grandmother.
No one has ever told me that my mother was still a young girl before she was married.
Your mother has always been a good girl, but only a little, and she can't be held back by eight horses for anything she knows." "Although our Yang family is not some official eunuch family, but I brought her up carefully.
I have nothing to doubt from my grandmother. Just looking at the boundless trust and reliance that Aunt Wang had on her grandmother, one could tell that this naturally revealed kinship could not be faked. It must have been nurtured over the years.
The child's mind is the most peaceful, can see through the heart. If his grandmother hadn't sincerely treated Aunt Wang well, it would have been impossible for the two of them to amass such a deep relationship between mother and daughter.
So much so that even if Aunt Wang did not have the slightest resemblance to her grandmother or even grandfather, Aunt Wang had never suspected that she was not the daughter of the Yang family.
Grandmother frowned, "Later on, this child was pointed out to the head of the Lu family to be his wife. Actually, I really didn't want that to happen. Although the Lu family was still in the imperial court, it was a stormy time … "It's not that important, it's just that their boss, although he looks very handsome, but when it comes to things he is timid and cowardly. He has no way of knowing, it's just like a piece of tofu falling into the dust, he can't be lifted up, he can't be patted …"
Grandmother said "given."
Marriage had always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It can't be the Qin family's biological parents, and it can't be the Yang family's adoptive parents. I think, the person who betrothed Aunt Wang is most likely … It's the Lu Family's master, right? Your Majesty, right?
I couldn't help but smile wryly. Just like my mother, the daughter of the Duke's daughter, she was born into a prominent family. Yet, she had fallen to such a state.
It could be seen that if one wanted to live in an upright manner in this world, there was no other way besides struggling to survive.
If he didn't fight for it, if he didn't work hard, how could he blame it on the wind and rain, turning him into a pile of dust in the blink of an eye?
Grandmother waved her skirt and opened her eyes, revealing a peaceful expression. "It's just that people like us, other than being obedient, have other choices. Besides, which girl in a girl's boudoir didn't want to marry an illustrious, knowledgeable, and outstanding husband? He is once again a grandma and mistress who was hired to be the head of the group. He is always so proud and arrogant, but when he suffers such anger, he only dares to write letters to me and cry behind his back … It wasn't easy for me to get pregnant, and I even thought that this child's time was running out. Finally, the pain had come, but who knows … "Sigh …"
That's right!
Which young girl in her youth had not guessed which family she would end up in?
In his dreams at midnight, who hadn't drawn the outline of his future husband a thousand times within their hearts?
He had to be taller than himself in order to get on the right path; he had to be handsome so that the children he would have would be beautiful in the future; he had to be well-informed so that the two of them could be harmonious; he had to be gentle so that when he was angry, he would be willing to lower his body and lower his head; he had to come from a prestigious clan so that when he came back to meet his sisters, he could have some face; he had to be friendly and kind …
However, when he was carried to someone else's house, he truly knew that even if it was as he had expected before his marriage, his days would still go by happily like flowing water as he had expected. There would always be such a big and small loophole hidden under a gorgeous robe.
Moreover, there was nothing perfect in this world. There were always so many flaws in the beauty, and there were also many unsatisfactory situations. Only by relying on mutual tolerance could this short marriage be maintained.
Then he would bear children, then to his grandchildren, and when the hair turns white, then back to the past, remembering what he had hoped for in the past, he couldn't help but smile. What a dream-like past … His youngest daughter was in a dream-like daze as she stood in the clouds to see the world.
Now in the bosom of his grandson, he realized that real life was just seeking joy in endless suffering, finding fun in boredom, and seeking warmth in a peaceful life.
Even with such peace and tranquility, he had to put in all his effort in order to keep it firmly in his hand.
This reasoning was understood too late by Aunt Wang. She had already lost a crushing defeat, and only now did she realize that life didn't develop according to how she thought it would.
I also understood it very late, after using my previous life, only then did I know that a man loves a woman, but only by sweeping his sleeves with the clouds can he obtain happiness by holding his fate in his hands.
Grandmother's voice was like a mist that shrouded her ears, and she sighed leisurely, "I advise this child to follow me to that quiet place, so as not to worry about these random things. "But in the end, that child …" Grandmother raised her head and looked at me steadily. "She refused to leave this house because she was worried about who. Don't you know that? Even if you put her name, she would still have someone to rely on when she gets old. What's wrong with that? "
I smiled bitterly.
He was afraid that his family might not even be able to receive support from Aunt Wang.
King Qi's current livelihood was made from walking on a steel wire. If he wasn't careful, he would die without a doubt. When the time comes, King Qi will not be able to touch any of the Xue and Jiang Families of the Lu and Qin Families, but our Yang Family, a small business family, will not be able to take a life for real. As a fish, I will be the first to be hated by King Qi and his men.
Although I have gained a bit of friendship for King Qi when it comes to working for him, when the time comes for us to meet, who will still care about friendship?
However, I couldn't say these words to Grandmother, so I could only deal with it vaguely.
Grandmother could not help but let out a long sigh. "In the end, this family is still yours …" I only hope that you can still remember that your mother never betrayed you, so you can't do the same to her! "
I hurriedly nodded my head in agreement before supporting my grandmother with my support as we walked back along the corridor. I happened to see Lan Li at the second door. She was dragging a young maid that was serving at the second door as she anxiously asked something.
Lan Li's eyes lit up and she hurried over. She first bowed to Grandmother and then hurriedly said to me, "Miss, the people from the Peach Blossom House and Yao Ji Fishery have found us and are arguing at the back door. They said that there was a problem in the middle and that they wanted to invite you over to take a look!"
The Peach Blossom Restaurant was a famous restaurant in White City. It was famous for its Peach Blossom Drunken Wine and Osmanthus Fish. Since the Xu family had come from the south, and enjoyed seafood, it had outsourced the aquatic products for the Peach Blossom Restaurant.
When my grandmother heard this, she waved her hand at me. "If you have something to do, go and do it yourself! "My wife can handle a few guests by herself."
In the end, his tone carried some unhappiness.
I smiled and bent my knees before Grandmother, turned around, and followed Lan Lingyun through the two gates. We headed west, towards the western gate of the garden where the maids and maids were waiting.
I walked along with Lan Ling, laughing and asking, "You mischievous brat, tell me quickly! What exactly is going on? "
Lan Ling giggled, and held onto my arm. "Indeed, you can't hide anything from Miss! "Actually, it's the owner of the building. He wants to see you and says that he has an old account to settle with you."
I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster.
Who was the owner of the building?
This is the first time our Yang family packed out the dishes from our family feast, so we naturally won't have any aged accounts with him.
Could it be a tea house?
As soon as I saw the tall figure in a raincoat and clogs, I knew which old debt it was.
Lan Li had never been as sensible as she was now. When she was only four or five steps away from the door, she stopped and looked into the distance.
Seeing her excited smile, I secretly supported my forehead.
Could it be that this girl was a spy?
I stretched out my hand and put down the bamboo curtain hanging on the door frame. With my eyes lowered, I looked at the person across the bamboo curtain and said, "Young master, you are so elegant! It's not tiring to be in a theater or a restaurant! "
Jiang Ming held the turtleneck on his head and smiled innocently. "I'm here to see you. Why am I tired?"
I raised my eyebrows and turned to head back.
"Sigh!" Jiang Ming raised his voice and said in a rough voice, "How can you not care about my reputation? He is in arrears with our wages!
How can you big families not be reasonable? in arrears to our wages!)
In the Nine-sided world, the way you talk is like pouring beans. Ding is like a bean, Ding is like a quail. When they first heard Wu Nong's soft words, they were all surprised and all of them focused their attention on us for a moment.
Through the bamboo curtain, Jiang Ming revealed a harmless smile. He even pretended to blink innocently.
To ask how much I hate this man, only the bamboo curtain in front of me knows.
If my eyes could turn into knives, then even Jiang Ming, who brought along this bamboo curtain, would have turned into dust.
I felt that I was standing steadily behind the bamboo curtain with a great deal of patience, spitting out every word. "Then, boss, how do you think we should calculate this?"
Jiang Ming revealed his white teeth and grinned at me. A "pa" sound resounded in front of me.
Jiang Ming awkwardly retracted his hand.
"I have already thought of a foolproof plan, I can bring you away anytime …"
Here it comes again!
Early in the morning, when I was busy, young master Jiang made such a farce in front of the Yang family. He did it just for the sake of saying a few words to me like it was child's play.
Young man, cute as you are, unstoppable momentum, a love of the separation of the Mountains and Seas, the spirit of the Mountains and Seas can be said to be at peace.
However, this was also the type of annoying self-conceit that made people wonder how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. They just thought of themselves as being able to do anything and everything.
Without waiting for Jiang Ming to finish speaking, I went down the stairs and glared at Lan Ling. I ordered, "You and Boss Tao settle the score. If that doesn't work, just give him a few sedan money and send them back. Please let Second Wife Gong clean up the fish."
Lan Yue had to kneel down and answer, but she still looked at Jiang Mingzhi who was standing outside the door with a wink.
When I returned to the second door, the maidservant informed me that my grandmother had welcomed the ladies to her courtyard and told me to pay my respects to them as soon as possible.
I took a step back and asked the little girl, "Who are you guys?"
"The eldest wife of the Xue Clan, the third wife and the fifth miss, as well as the fourth wife of the Jiang Clan and the second miss, the Xu Clan's fourth wife and the eldest miss," the little girl said with a smile.
"The Xue Clan's Eldest Miss isn't here?"
The young maid smiled and nodded. "The Old Ancestor was asking just now. Mrs. Xue said that the Eldest Miss is sick."
Miss Xue's illness was most likely due to heart disease.
Remembering that I was the culprit behind this illness, I couldn't help but feel guilty. I asked the young maid, "Did the old lady ask how Miss Xue is doing?"
The young maid shook her head, "The Old Ancestor asked again why he did not bring the second, third, and fourth miss over. Mrs. Xue said that Young Master Xue had returned from the capital and wanted to test out your younger sisters' lessons, so he did not come."
I smiled.
Mrs. Xue probably misunderstood. She thought that in this banquet, her grandmother had kept them at home for fear that her grandmother would fall for any of the Xue family's girls, in order to show them her daughter-in-law through a letter.
I casually dismissed the young maid with a few copper coins before turning around and heading to my grandmother's courtyard.
In the living room, the wives sat beside their grandmothers. In the middle of the room, a female ancestor was telling a story about a fox fairy, which attracted the ladies' full attention. Even the ladies behind the screen were sitting upright on the brick bed, listening attentively.
I was a step too late at the door, stopping Hong Yu from closing the curtain. I took a step back into the hall and instructed Mother Song, "Go and fetch these young masters!"
I mean, Mother Song went to fetch the young masters herself, but Mother Song just turned around and sent a little girl to run errands. I could only sigh and instruct her, "You wait outside. When the three young masters are here, you can ask the little girl to pass on the message."
Only then did Mother Song understand what my previous instructions meant, and she hurriedly agreed with a red face.
I left them and went in through the curtain.
A girl in purple clothes was standing next to me. She tugged on my sleeve the moment I entered the room. She quickly stopped talking, stood up, bowed to me, and moved to the side.
Smiling, I went up to the ladies and greeted them.
