Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 51

This is the first time for Zhang Dalang to enter such a luxurious family. The largest and best house he has ever seen belongs to the mayor's house. Although he has seen many bright and dazzling pavilions along the way, it is far from the shock of this time. "A Ling, is this really your natal family?" Zhang Dalang asked uncertainly when he saw the gate.

"Brother, I'll take you to see my grandmother first!" Wu Ling looked at his uncle's disbelieving expression, and then glanced at his daughter-in-law who pursed her lips and smiled.The eldest brother looks like a rural household who has never been to the city, but why did the daughter-in-law look so calm when she came here for the first time?
"Why are you in a daze, don't hurry up!" Seeing Wu Ling staring at him in a daze, Zhang Mu hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.

"Meow! Meow!" Bastard, everyone is starving to death, and you are still so grumbling.

As soon as Wu Ling came back to his senses, he saw the beauty looking at him quietly, with a strange grudge in his eyes, and couldn't help shivering.

Seeing Ronghuayuan, Luyun was chatting with the maids who guard the gate outside. These maids have also seen how much the old lady valued Wu Ling and his wife these days, and they have already stopped their contempt for Zhang Mu. Salute and say hello, Zhang Mu is used to the unique skill of "changing faces" in modern times, and he doesn't take it seriously. The maids and servants in these mansion gates should not be underestimated, any one of them is probably more thoughtful than her.Unexpectedly, when the servants saw Mrs. Biao being so gentle and courteous, they became arrogant without any ambition at all. Some of them really felt a little respect, such as the green cloud, green sleeve and green shadow beside Mrs. Zheng.

"Why did Master Ling and Madam turn around again? Who is this?" Lu Yun asked with a smile after blessing the ceremony.

"Grandmother is still in the house?" After Zhang Mu came, Wu Ling seldom answered with the maids, and Zhang Mu always took care of it. At this time, Zhang Mu saw Zhang Dalang's slightly embarrassed look, and said with a smile: "My brother came over to my grandmother." Hello!" The voice was clear and loud.

Lu Yun was taken aback.This villager?

Inside, Mrs. Zheng heard the commotion early in the morning, so she said to Lu Ying inside, "Go and find a better jade pendant in the back closet!"

The green sleeve on one side looked at the old lady, and tentatively reminded: "Old ancestor, the country people, I'm afraid gold and silver are more practical?"

The old lady waved her hand and didn't answer. She glanced at Luying, who nodded and went in.

In front, Lvyun had already opened the curtain, and Zhang Dalang saw a very handsome old lady looking at her and smiling kindly.My heart is also slightly relieved.When he came, he didn't expect that A Ling's family turned out to be a rich family, otherwise he would have to wear good clothes to make a face for his sister no matter what.

"Daughter-in-law, why did I hear it was your brother just now?" The old lady stretched out her hand and beckoned Zhang Mu to sit on the couch.

"Grandmother, your hearing is really good! My brother saw that my husband and I hadn't gone back for a few days, and he was worried about it, so he came here. I met my husband and I just when we went out today. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

When Mrs. Zheng saw her grandson's daughter-in-law introduce this simple and honest young man with patches on his body as her brother, she liked her a little more. When she saw the green shadow over there, she smiled and said, "My uncle is also a brother-in-law." If you want to go from home to Taizhou, I'm afraid it will be a long time? Now I have to stay with A Ling and Muyatou in my house for a few more days!"

Seeing that the old lady didn't underestimate his sister, Zhang Dalang was completely relieved, and he became more active when he spoke, and talked to the old lady about the scenery of the country.

At noon, the first room and the second room received a message from the maid next to the old lady, saying that Zhang Mu's brother had come, and everyone would go to Ronghua Garden for dinner in the evening.Zheng Hengyuan and Mrs. Xie were only taken aback for a moment, but Zheng Hengsheng and Mrs. Ji began to mock in front of Lu Ying, saying, "The ancestors are really old, and those who come to beg for food are considered relatives." He didn't pick up the conversation, just smiled and said: "The old ancestor ordered, the second master and the second wife must come! Otherwise, the old ancestor will blame me for running errands!"

Ji smiled lightly and said, "That's natural!"

In the evening, Mrs. Ji, the second master, and a pair of children did arrive at Ronghua Garden early, and had fun around the old lady's side. Wu Ling led Zhang Dalang in the front hall, and Zhang Dalang also changed into a bright suit at this time. The clothes were bought by Wu Ling from a tailor's shop. Afraid that Zhang Dalang would feel uncomfortable, he explained: "Don't be surprised, brother, rich people are like this, let's just go back to the theater!"

"Hey, what do you mean, are you and A Mu going back?" Zhang Dalang wondered, with such wealth, why would A Ling not want it?

"Of course I want to go back. No matter how rich the Zheng family is, it's still a foreign family. My eldest brother also knows that I won't go back to the Wu family! Think about it and stay in the town comfortably."

"It's good to be able to go back, the family can still be together!" Zhang Dalang said, patting Wu Ling's shoulder.A good home, tossed like this by a concubine, the son of this rich family is not as stable as he is.

When Master Zheng Er met Wu Ling, he said a few polite words, and he didn't give Zheng Dalang a look at Zheng Dalang, who looked like a country Chinese character even though he was dressed in silk. The daughter-in-law knew that she must be wronged. Seeing that the uncle was still standing stupidly, she said, "Brother, uncle hasn't come yet, so let's sit down first."

Master Zheng Er blushed when he heard this, he didn't regard himself as an uncle anymore, he wanted to scold him, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous on my mother's territory.

Zheng Qingyan and Zheng Qingtao were the last to come. One of them was managing the farm outside, and the other was studying in the academy. When they saw Zhang Dalang, they said a few polite words.

The dinner was still the same as that of Zhang Mu, with four cold dishes, ten hot dishes, and two soups. Zhang Dalang watched intently, trying not to swallow his saliva. Ji was still standing behind the old lady, and couldn't help muttering. "It's really a beggar!" The voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone to hear. Zhang Dalang blushed suddenly, and Wu Ling unconsciously clenched his fists.

Zhang Mu looked at Ji's slightly mocking expression, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the second aunt said? How did I hear a beggar? Although my Zhang family is from the countryside, we grow every porridge and rice by ourselves. Come out, could it be that you asked the second aunt for something?" The Zhang family has always treated her like a daughter, and it is the season of winter wheat sowing, and the Zhang family even gave up a labor force to find her, so the Zhang family pointed to that place to live, The eldest brother is not here, and the mother and sister-in-law are afraid that they will have to work in the fields, how can she let the eldest brother be humiliated here!

Mrs. Ji just couldn't see it, so she couldn't help but sting, she thought Mrs. Zhang must be holding back, after all, her natal family is so shameless!However, Mrs. Zhang even got on top of her!

Mrs. Zheng was also deeply dissatisfied with this unclear daughter-in-law, and scolded: "Second brother, if you are confused, you don't have to wait here, go back to your own yard!"

Zheng Qingtao looked at the angry face of the old lady, but he didn't dare to defend his mother, after all, they listened to what he said just now.But the younger sister stood up and said: "Grandmother, how can you blame your mother for outsiders, you just jumped out of nowhere, and you still defend it like this!"

"Okay! You can go back too!" The old lady said without raising her eyelids.The second roomer didn't like Amu, she knew it very well.

"Grandmother, mother and younger sister are a little confused today, don't be angry, I'll send them back!" Zheng Qingtao hurriedly got up and took his mother with one hand and his younger sister with the other to go to the second room. He was really afraid that the two ancestors would say something wrong again. The words of the old doctor will make the grandmother angry, the grandmother's health is just a little better, if she gets sick again, the old doctor said, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous.

Zhang Mu and Zhang Dalang didn't move their chopsticks that night, Wu Ling watched and scooped up a bowl of pheasant bird's nest for Zhang Mu.It was steaming, and it felt very warm just looking at it. Looking at Wu Ling's concerned eyes, Zhang Mu felt a little warmer in his heart. When he picked up the spoon and was about to scoop it up, the spoon in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang". On the ground, it was broken into three pieces.

Everyone at the table looked over, Zhang Mu looked at the mischievous beauty on his lap, feeling quite helpless, seeing everyone looked over, he had to say: "I used to have a cat that was more greedy, probably smelled it My son jumped on top of me!"

The old lady smiled and said: "I saw you holding this cat in the morning, and thought that someone at home gave you a play, but it turned out to be with the uncle. Let Luyun carry it down and feed it some bird's nest to satisfy its hunger." go!"

Zhang Dalang saw the girl who opened the curtain in the morning come to hug the beauty, but he saw the beauty suddenly jumped on the table, looked at Zhang Mu and called out.

Zhang Mu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "I am so used to this cat that it has no rules, and its temper is very big. Don't take it for granted. Let me hold it!"

After the words were lost, the beauty knocked over Zhang Mu's bowl of soup with another slap!

The little fat man in Mo's arms over there kicked his legs when he saw a cat on the table.The dinner table became lively for a while, Zheng Qingyan said with a smile: "Grandma, I have never seen such a greedy cat, but it is really naughty!"

The old lady squinted her eyes when she looked at the cat. The cat had been very well-behaved from morning to before. It had been a long time since the dish was served, but she glanced at the shredded chicken bird’s nest in front of her and suddenly smiled. Said: "We can't eat this bird's nest with chicken shreds today, otherwise the cat will have to make trouble, let's take it!" He glanced at Luyun.

Lvyun's heart was shocked, and she came up and took down the can of shredded chicken and bird's nest.

Zhang Mu embarrassedly patted the beauty twice!
After dinner, the old lady took off her hairpin and got ready for bed. Lu Yun came over to undress her and whispered in her ear, "Old Ancestor, the cat in the kitchen is dead."
