Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 44

Along the way, Zhang Mu tried his best to hold back his curiosity and followed Wu Ling directly to Mrs. Zheng's yard. After passing through two arched gates, he faced the three characters "Ronghua Garden". The feeling of stability, even Zhang Mu, who has no research on fonts, at a glance, feels that it should be everyone's handwriting.

There are clumps of morning glory nestled under the corner of the wall outside the courtyard, apricot yellow, purple pink, climbing up a little bit along the corner, stepping through the circular arched flower door, the sight is much wider, and the morning sun lightly casts A few rays of light fell on the begonia, and Zhang Mu saw a green figure of osmanthus from the sparse osmanthus in the room next to the window. , it should be some years old.

The little girl standing at the door was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with buns tied with two pink hair ties, and an emerald green cotton skirt, and said with a smile, "Master Biao, this eldest lady is older than you." It's still early, the old lady has been looking forward to you from the morning."

As soon as Zhang Mu stepped into the yard, he caught a glimpse of a tall girl who turned around and entered the room to announce. At this moment, he saw the girl come out, saluted Zhang Mu, and smiled at Zhang Mu: "This is Mrs. Biao. Come on, the old lady has been thinking about you for a long time!"

Zhang Mu smiled and said nothing.This one is smarter than the previous one.

Wu Ling led Zhang Mu to the inner room, and said in a bright voice, "Grandmother, I brought my wife to see you!" Zhang Muxin paused for a moment, glanced at his husband, and then smiled with his lips pursed.She actually felt some arrogant tone in Xianggong's words, as if to say: "Look, let me tell you, I already have a wife!"

The tall girl opened the curtains, and a faint scent of sandalwood floated out from inside. Spots of sunlight leaked in from the carved windows and printed on the marble floor, casting small lights one by one. There is a Ru kiln flower pouch with a bucket size, filled with yellow chrysanthemums filled with crystal balls.Zhang Mu saw a rich old lady with a green forehead on her head leaning on the couch, with a brocade quilt full of peonies half-embraced on her body, looking at her gently with a pair of cloudy eyes.Standing beside her was a fair-skinned girl with a willow-leaf bun. Although she looked over with a smile, it just made Zhang Mu feel that the smile was a bit cold for no reason.

"Amu, this is grandma!"

"Granddaughter-in-law is visiting grandma! I wish grandma a speedy health!" Zhang Mu slowly squatted down and gave a blessing.

"Hey, good boy, come here quickly, seeing you, my body is much more relaxed!" The old lady leaned over and stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Mu, Wu Ling quickly walked over to hold her down, and said with a smile: " The weather is cold, you will get better in the past two days, but don't catch a cold again."

Mrs. Zheng felt warm in her heart when she saw her grandson caring so much for her. The two grandsons and one granddaughter in the family are very busy on weekdays, so they come here occasionally to say hello. They are either in the school outside or With the teacher hired at home, who is free to take care of her, an old woman.

"Grandmother, this is my cousin! Why does she look older than Brother A Ling!" The girl beside her playfully raised her head and asked innocently.

Mrs. Zheng narrowed her eyes slightly, and said to Zhang Mu with a smile: "Good boy, I have heard Ah Ling talking about you for a long time, and I heard that you are quite talented in pastry, so I will let my old lady Satisfy your hunger!"

This is the young lady who directly skipped the Zheng family. The old lady doesn't let her granddaughter step down, so she doesn't have to worry about it. I just didn’t know that she was in Taizhou! I heard from my father before, but I was still in a daze for a long time! Now that I see my grandmother, I don’t need you to ask me, I have to use my skills to make a good use of the bottom of the box. Honor you!"

Mrs. Zheng heard Zhang Mu say that her good-looking grandson had lived outside for so many years, and she still remembered her as an old woman. When she thought of the sufferings that A Ling suffered outside, she couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes. She had raised three children in her life, and she only had one daughter. I left her early in the morning, and even the life and death of my daughter, the only flesh and blood, is unknown. For many years, if she had suppressed the old man and brought A Ling back to raise him, she would not have separated their grandparents and grandchildren for these years. I never saw A Ling again.

"Oh, mother, who is this short-sighted person who made you so angry! See if I don't take care of her!" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Mu saw that the curtain of the inner room was opened again. The girl who is pink and beautiful, behind her is a woman surrounded by jewels and emeralds. From this name, she should be the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Zheng. I don't know if it is the eldest daughter-in-law or the younger daughter-in-law.

Zhang Mu saw the old lady's face froze with sharp eyes, and knew in his heart that he probably didn't want to see this one.Observe the nose with the eyes, observe the nose with the heart, and observe from the wall.

Over there, Wu Ling also winked quietly at his wife.This second aunt is also very annoying!
"Don't speak loudly at me, don't scare my granddaughter-in-law, I don't care if you come here today, you go back first with the warm girl, and call the second child to have a reunion dinner together at night!" The old lady said She calmly stared at her second daughter-in-law, Ji, but everyone present could hear the impatience in her words.

"Grandmother, I want to spend more time with you, old man!" Zheng Qingnuan said with a pouting face.

The old lady Zheng shook her hand, "I'm dazzled by the crowd, you go back with your mother first!" After the old lady finished speaking, she leaned back and Zhang Mu quickly supported her.

Ji's heart was trembling with anger, seeing that his daughter wanted to say more, he quickly suppressed the hatred in his heart, exerted some strength on his daughter's hand slightly, and said with a smile on his face: "I know that this mother cares about little daughters-in-law, so I will take her." Let Nuan Nuan go back first, and come over to chat with A-Ling's wife in the evening!"

Seeing that the old lady waved her hand again, she had no choice but to lead her daughter out of the house.My mother-in-law has always disliked her, but she has never lost face like this before. At most, she just sits there silently like a Bodhisattva. How could she actually drive her back this time!
Seeing her granddaughter turning her head three times, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but sigh in her heart. With her family's reputation in Taizhou, it would be easy to marry Nuan Nuan into a scholar's family, but the second daughter-in-law was all about money, saying: "Study is not just to make money for being an official, it's better to just marry Nuan Nuan into a rich family!"

How could the mother and daughter of the second room not see the little thought they had for A Ling. She thought that the wife A Ling would marry was a second wife, not to mention a village woman, how could she afford to be the head of the Wu family in the future? Ma'am, although my granddaughter is a bit delicate, but after all, she is also a young lady raised by the family, and she can share some of it for A Ling in the future, so she didn't hit the second room.

But this time when she saw that her granddaughter-in-law had a bright personality, her words were not reserved, and her heart ached for Ah Ling, the one who had come all the way was eagerly chasing after her. Ah Ling liked it again, and she didn't want to disobey this poor child's wishes.

Here, Mrs. Zheng took Zhang Mu to talk about the daily life, and asked about Wu Ling's daily life. Zhang Mu could also see how sincere the old lady was to the couple, so he picked good ones for the old man. For fun, not to mention basic necessities of life, even Wu Ling and the beautiful woman's quarrel was revealed, which amused the old lady, but Wu Ling huddled beside her and felt his face was very hot.

Over there, Mrs. Ji and Zheng Qingnuan came out of the Ronghua Garden. Zheng Qingnuan thought of the woman in the village talking and smiling, and felt uncomfortable. Shouldn't she be a woman with unkempt hair and wrinkled face?Why is that Zhang's complexion so good that she is not much different from her! "Mother, that Mrs. Zhang is so disgusting. It's just like that, Brother A Ling actually married her! The clothes are all the same as last year. They have been placed in Yunyifang for more than a year, but they still have the nerve to wear them." Come out and show off! I have never seen such a shame!"

Zheng Qingnuan, who was waiting for his mother to agree, got no response for a long time, so he stretched out his hand impatiently and tugged at his mother's sleeve. "Mom, did you hear me?"

"Ah? What did Nuannuan say? Mother was thinking about something just now!" Ji, who was pulled back to God by his daughter, felt his heart soften when he saw his daughter pursing her mouth in grievance.

"Mother, didn't you say that brother A Ling would reconcile and marry me? You also said that grandma also acquiesced, why is grandma treating that village woman so kindly and kicking us out!"

"Nuan Nuan, don't worry, Mother will definitely let your elder brother A Ling marry you. You are the only jewel in the palm of my Zheng family's generation, and you will marry to the Wu family to be the head of the house!" Her girl looks pretty and has a sweet mouth , Which wife doesn't like it when she sees it? They all say that she is the luckiest lady in Taizhou City, but she has to marry the Wu family, which is full of gold and silver. As early as 15 years ago, she had this plan in her heart. But that annoying sister-in-law was so unlucky, she was reincarnated early in the morning, and Ah Ling was lost by that bitch of the Yang family.She was thinking about just marrying Nuan Nuan to Wu Tan. Although she is a bastard and has a bad reputation, but Wu Ling is not here, the huge family property belongs to Wu Tan, and her daughter can still spend a lot of money if she marries her!There is no serious mother-in-law in charge, so life must be more beautiful than my sister-in-law's back then!

Before she could speak to Yang Shi, the uncle actually brought A Ling back. A Ling is the son of the Wu family. Once he comes back, what will happen to Wu Tan?She can't let Wu Ling and Nuan Nuan cultivate their relationship while Wu Ling lives in Zheng's house!As for the village woman that Ah Ling married in the countryside, a few taels of silver can be spent!
Mrs. Ji had some doubts in her heart. She obviously confided in her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law clearly acquiesced, otherwise she wouldn't dare to make Zhang's face like this. She thought her mother-in-law would turn a blind eye and close her eyes Yes, I didn't expect this old godmother to help that little bitch in turn.

"Nuan Nuan, wait, mother will definitely ask A Ling to marry you back to the Wu family!" Her daughter must be the most beautiful young lady in Taizhou City!

As for that little slut of Mrs. Zhang, she must not be used as a stepping stone for her daughter!
