Shennong Pharmaceutical Field

Chapter 224 The Ding Family's Joke

Xu time is approaching, but before Hai time, the excited Hu Niu finally came back.

At this time, Shanhai Pavilion was also empty of guests, and when it was close to closing time, Hu Niu estimated the time, she did not go through the main entrance of the restaurant, but directly entered the inner courtyard of Shanhai Pavilion from the side door.

The porridge room of Shanhai Pavilion greeted mostly ladies and ladies from various wealthy houses, and they left far earlier than the old men in the front hall, so Jiuhong and Yao Tiantian had packed up and returned to the inner courtyard.

Jiuhong, who had been busy all day, did not go to rest, but waited in Yao Tiantian's room, waiting for news from Hu Niu.

Hu Niu symbolically knocked on the door and couldn't wait to open the door and came in. Seeing that Jiu Hong was there, Hu Niu was not surprised at all, and nodded at her, "Sister Jiu Hong is here too, she is waiting to hear a joke." right?"

"A joke?" Yao Tiantian was taken aback, glanced at Jiuhong who was puzzled, and asked aloud, "You have been away for so long, have you been asking about jokes?"

"Isn't it?" Hu Niu picked up the calming tea on the table and drank it down, and then continued to say, "That fake lady was probably scared by the boss, and ran away without any cover. Go back to find her master."

"Their mansion is decent. It looks like it should be a big family. However, it should not be as famous as the Niu family and the Zhao family. We have never heard of such a family before." Hu You recalled The house she saw was quite grand, and she commented pertinently.

"Is this family's surname Ding?" Yao Tiantian pondered for a while, and asked in deliberation.

"Surname Ding?" Jiuhong's expression changed after hearing Yao Tiantian's words, and she muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that today's play is aimed at Mrs. Ding?"

"It's [-]% yes, let's listen to Hu Niu's joke first, and then draw conclusions." Yao Tiantian said in deliberation, noncommittal.

Mrs. Ding did a very low-key thing about coming to Shanhai Pavilion to drink porridge, and Yao Tiantian also deliberately protected the privacy of the guests.Therefore, Jiuhong knew that her husband's family name was Ding, and she had been calling Chunxiang, the little girl who accompanied Mrs. Ding, and guessed a lot.

And Huniu is in charge of the small kitchen, she prepares whatever Yao Tiantian tells her to prepare, and Jiuhong comes out to greet the guests outside, so she pays less attention to matters related to the guests.Therefore, she is not very clear about Mrs. Ding's surname Ding.

Now, seeing Yao Tiantian and Jiuhong's charade-like words, the excited Huniu pursed her lips all of a sudden, and played a small temper, "You sent me, a stupid girl, to inquire about the news, but Keep everything from me, you, you bullies, I won’t tell you funny jokes!”

Since this matter may be related to Mrs. Ding who came to treat her, and Hu Niu went out to inquire about it, she is not considered an outsider, so she should be told.

After a little thought, Yao Tiantian said apologetically, "Sister Huniu, in fact, we didn't deliberately hide it from you. It's just that these are the privacy of the guests. Since we want to make the guests feel at ease and satisfied, naturally we can't leave them behind. The whole world knows about the situation."

"If we deliberately hid it from you, how could we let you follow that person? Besides, if we sincerely hid it from you, why would we talk about it in front of you? Whether it's me or Sister Jiuhong, They are not such careless people who can't hide their words, right?"

Yao Tiantian explained softly. At first, Hu Niu was angry and stretched her face. When Yao Tiantian said the following, Hu Niu nodded involuntarily, and said embarrassedly, "My boss is right, It was Huniu who was thinking about it, and that idiot Xiang Dazhuang had a bad temper like a bully, making the boss and sister Jiuhong laugh at her."

"Sister Huniu, what you said is serious. In fact, we just know that the lady's husband's family name is Ding, and the family has no worries about food and clothing. I don't know anything about other situations, so I just guessed casually." Jiuhong After taking Hu Niu's words, she said in relief.Since Yao Tiantian didn't mean to hide Huniu's intentions, Jiuhong also told the truth.

Since the last time Jiuhong stepped forward to test the poison, and made Mrs. Niu believe the words of everyone in Shanhai Pavilion and solve the crisis in Shanhai Pavilion, not only has she truly integrated into this big family, but her position in everyone's minds has changed. much taller.Especially Hu Niu, she was deeply moved by her belief in Yao Dong's family so firmly, and she would follow her to the death. Admired person.

Now that Dongjia and Sister Jiuhong have said so, Huniu has nothing to doubt. She blushed for her petty temper, and quickly told her experience of the night in detail .

It turned out that Huniu followed the so-called lady out of the gate of Shanhai Pavilion. She was worried that the other party would be alert at first, so she learned a few skills from the three-legged cat on her own, and she might be discovered by others.Or, if someone gets in a carriage, she can't run with two legs and can't run with four legs, so she will be thrown away by others.

However, soon after going out, Huniu found that her original worries were unnecessary.I don't know what the owner said to him. The other party seemed to be scared out of his wits and completely lost his courage. After going out, he ran all the way, neither in a car nor in a sedan chair, let alone guarding against being followed.

Hu Niu easily followed that person all the way, watching her staggering all the way to the west of the city, where the mansions of rich and powerful families gather together.

The so-called madam didn't even notice that someone was following her, she ran straight into a wealthy family who looked well-behaved, and the gatekeeper seemed to call her "Xia" girl, but she ignored him.

It seemed that this 'Miss Xia' had some face, she went straight in, and the servant at the door didn't intend to stop her at all.However, after she entered, she murmured in a low voice, "Hmph, what are you looking for? Now you are not the second master's aunt, and you want to be prestige in front of our brothers because of your status as the second wife's dowry. I really don't know." How many catties and ounces do I have? The second lady..."

Huniu only heard the first half of the gatekeeper's slanderous words, but she didn't hear the second part about the second lady. Presumably this person also knew that he was talking about the serious master behind his back, so he unconsciously made his voice louder. It's low.

It was these vague words that aroused Huniu's curiosity. That person was clearly dressed as a married lady, but just now the owner said she was a 'girl' instead of a 'madam'. Now look at her The gatekeeper called her "Miss Xia" and said that she was going to be the second master's concubine. What's going on?
Huniu looked up at the well-behaved plaque of this family: Dingfu.Keeping these in mind, he turned around and walked towards the side door in the house for the servants to enter and exit.

Huniu was lucky. She had just hid herself in the shadow of a tree not far from the side door, when she saw an old mother in shabby clothes coming out of the side door of Ding's mansion. The gatekeeper saw her coming and was disgusted. She curled her lips and didn't give her a direct look.

The old mother felt the eyes of others, her face was always tangled, and she seemed to have said something in a low voice, and then she came out of the gate angrily.

With an idea, Hu Niu slid to the side, and the shadow of the tree flashed out, pretending to be passing by casually, muttering, "This little bastard turned his face too fast, I didn't know my surname when I just entered the mansion gate and worked as an errand." What's the matter, I don't even know my old friends!"

As soon as Huniu's words fell to the ground, her 'complaints' immediately found her bosom friend, and the old mother who was sullen immediately said, "Who said it wasn't true, these servants in the house have long heads that go up to the top of their heads. It's even more amazing than the master in the house."

"Yes, yes, it's really annoying." Hu Niu quickly took over the quarrel, walked to the old mother's side naturally, and suggested unintentionally, "I'm full of sulking, and it's rare to meet such a sensible person as my mother." , let’s go, I invite you to sit in the tea shop in front.”

Without even thinking about it, the old mother nodded and replied, "It's good to go and have a sit, except for being suffocated in the nest at the gate of the house, it's really boring here."

In this way, Hu Niu took the old mother and sat in a nearby tea shop.The old mother was so angry that Hu Niu tried to guide her again, and the old mother shook out all the words that should be said and should not be said.

It turned out that the ancestors of the old mother and the old lady of Dingjia were distant relatives, and the two of them played together when they were young.Although the old mother's family is in decline now, but thinking about the love when I was a child, I still inquired and ran to visit the old sisters. It happened to be the [-]th birthday of the old lady of the Ding family, so I stayed for a few more days, and suffered a lot for this. Down people's eyes.

This old lady of the Ding family has two biological sons in total, but the eldest son's wife is not up to the mark, and has never had a child. The concubines also gave birth to daughters.So, facing the huge family business, the second son and daughter-in-law used their brains, trying to make the old lady spit out as soon as possible, and hand over the power of the family to the second son and daughter-in-law who have grandchildren.

However, this eldest daughter-in-law is also quite cunning, taking care of everything up and down properly. The old lady already likes to let her be the housekeeper, but she was hesitant for a while, which made the relationship between the eldest room and the second room even more tense. , and finally had to say that if the eldest lady still has nothing to do within two years, the old lady will not care about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years for the sake of the family.

No, as soon as the old lady's words were released, the second room became insane, and even Miss Xia, the girl next to the second lady, felt that she had become the master of the Ding's house, causing trouble everywhere, picking noses and eyes, It's annoying to watch.
