in spring

Chapter 17 Germination
Chunying hurriedly put aside the broom quietly, followed the posture taught by her seniors when she was an intern in the hotel, put on the look of "waiting for orders from guests", and at the same time gave her mother a wink.Where does Mama Lu want her to teach?I have already rolled down my sleeves and bowed my head to listen to the teaching.

No one answered, Aunt Xu glanced around and asked again, her tone aggravated three points: "What's going on?! Why don't you speak?!"

Everyone was a little restless, but they exchanged a few glances with each other, and decided not to get involved.The place was very quiet.

As soon as Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes, she flicked her veil and came forward and cried, "Oh, my sister-in-law Xu, the Lu family scolds people indiscriminately! I tried to reason with her, but she beat me! My leg, I Her old waist is about to be broken by her, and she wants to kill me!" When she said this, not only Lu's mother and Chun Ying glared at her, but the other people also showed disdainful expressions on their faces.

How can Mrs. Xu believe it?He yelled: "Don't cry!" Mrs. Wu was howling, choked by her three words, she couldn't catch her breath, and immediately coughed non-stop, with tears and snot all over her face.

Aunt Xu turned her head in disgust, ignored her, and only looked at Mother Lu.The latter was anxious, and hurried forward to salute: "Mrs. Xu, it turned out that Mrs. Wu had a grudge against me, came to make noise for no reason, and said some nonsense in front of my daughter. The second young master backed me up and was about to hit someone. I was angry for a moment, and only fought back twice, you should learn from it."

Chunying nodded secretly. Although my mother didn't tell the truth, if she told the errand, I'm afraid the family would be in trouble. It's better to admit that there was a beating, but then put the blame on Mrs. Wu, which would make it easier to get away.I don't know if this Mrs. Xu believes it or not?
Aunt Xu just said two words lightly: "Really?" She didn't say who they were and who was wrong, which made both Chunying and Lu's mother nervous.

Aunt Xu looked around at the crowd, then suddenly turned to the east and raised her voice and asked: "The young master over there seems to have been here a while ago, I don't know if he has seen what happened here? Please explain to me."

It was only then that Chunying realized that a young man was standing three feet away from them, wearing a camel-colored plain shearling robe, with his back turned to them, staring closely at the courtyard wall of a house on the side of the road, It was as if flowers were growing on the wall.Behind him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who was also leading a horse. He was looking at this side secretly, as if he was about to pass by here, but was blocked by onlookers.

The man turned his head slowly after listening to Aunt Xu's words, and Chunying clearly recognized him as the mustache she had met twice, so she couldn't help being surprised.

Seeing that the mustache had a distressed expression on his face, he turned his head and whispered a few words to the young servant, who led the order and came over and said, "Ma'am, our young master and I just passed by by chance, and we don't know how many times we have passed by." How did the two aunts start arguing? I just heard that this lady in red..." He pointed to Mrs. Wu, "yelling loudly at the gate of the courtyard, telling the lady in blue not to accept the errands sent by the master. She also said that if she was jealous, she would give her own daughter to the men. The aunt was angry, so she hit her with a bucket, and the aunt said she was going to kill people. blocked here."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she became anxious: "Sister-in-law Xu, don't believe their nonsense! He must have colluded with the Lu family to speak for them!"

The servant sneered: "Who does my aunt think our young master is? If it weren't for the fact that your master's family belongs to the same clan as our young master's friends, our young master wouldn't bother to have the same knowledge as you! Don't talk about it and frame it! If I put You said all those big words just now, aunt, you have to be careful!" After saying that, he bowed to Aunt Xu very politely, and then retreated to the master, the mustache glanced at him casually, but still turned away Staring at the courtyard wall without even looking this way, it seemed very solemn and respectful.

But Chunying felt that he clearly saw her, and guessed that he must have recognized him, and thought carefully of his servant's words, she couldn't help applauding secretly.Although none of those words were exaggerated or distorted, intentionally or unintentionally, they turned to my side. It must be intentional, right?The mustache really had a wink.Chunying thought of the carp lantern he gave her during the Lantern Festival, and felt that he was more pleasing to the eye, and even the uncoordinated mustache became very stylish.

Mrs. Wu didn't think so, she really wanted to jump up and bite her mustache, but Aunt Xu stopped her with her eyes, so she shut her mouth sullenly.Aunt Xu thanked the little beard from afar, and ordered everyone to get out of the way and let them leave.

As soon as they left, Aunt Xu lowered her face, stared at Mrs. Wu and asked, "Is what that little brother said just now true?!"

"Oh, my good sister-in-law, you can't believe the nonsense of outsiders!" Mrs. Wu cried and shook her veil, and was about to pounce on her and burst into tears. Aunt Xu took a step to the side, neatly avoided, and asked again: "Who is he?" Those big words about you... what are they?"

Mrs. Wu cried for a while, and then howled louder, but secretly looked at her from under the veil, her eyes flickering.Aunt Xu knew it well, and turned her attention to other people.

The situation at this time is different from before. Now that there are outsiders to testify, and Aunt Xu has come forward, among the daughters-in-law and mother-in-law present, there are those who have always been disliked by Mrs. Wu, and they have no scruples, so they talk and add fuel and jealousy Counting out her evil deeds and appearances, adding seven points of her original sins to ten points.Mama Lu stood by the side with a proud face, interjecting a few words from time to time, feeling extremely refreshed in her heart.

Chunying frowned slightly, although Mrs. Wu was hateful, but this attitude of killing everyone...why does it make people feel uncomfortable?Could it be that she and her mother were being used by others?
Aunt Xu finally controlled the scene and asked someone to take away Mrs. Wu.The people who stayed in the same place were still discussing, ridiculing Mrs. Wu for being evil, and some people flattering Mother Lu, saying that she is brave and dared to do things that others dare not do, and they inquired carefully why Mrs. Wu came to trouble the Lu family. of.

Although Lu's mother was proud, she was not confused. She dismissed them casually, then grabbed Chunying and went back to the house. After closing the door, she sneered, "I don't know what you guys are up to? I'm not a fool! She looked back at her daughter, thoughtfully: "You are indeed much smarter. If in the past, when I quarreled with others, you would just stand there stupidly. How can you be as smart as you are today?"

Chunying's heart suddenly jumped, and she hurriedly laughed and said: "Mother always said that the rules in the mansion are strict, and told me to listen to the master's words after entering the mansion. Just now Aunt Ma said that I shouldn't say that, and I think she is wrong. Since I It makes sense, why shouldn't it be said?"

"You're right." Lu's mother smiled, "the principle and the rules are the most important, what she said is just out of favor, you don't care about her!" Hearing that her son had been woken up and crying hard, she hurried over to have a look he.Chunying breathed a sigh of relief behind her back.

When Lu Yougui came back at night, he obviously heard the news long ago, with a gloomy face, without saying anything, he just sat at the table and poured cold wine.

While arranging the bowls and chopsticks, Chunying secretly looked at him, and asked cautiously: "Father, it's not good to drink cold wine, may I warm it up for you?"

Lu Yougui glanced at her, put the cup away, and said gruffly: "I've already said that it's not appropriate, so this is going to make trouble? It also involved the young master and Manager Wang in the mansion! I don't know what will happen in the future! The Lu family hastened to reject it, and don't provoke this kind of thing in the future! We are small people, just work honestly, don't try to climb that tall branch!"

Chunying frowned, a little unconvinced, and was about to argue, but was stopped by her mother.

Mother Lu glared at her daughter, then smiled and said to her husband, "You can do whatever you say. You are the head of the family, and we all obey you." She took several pieces of braised pork into his bowl and said, "You are the head of the family. Don’t you like to eat this? Eat more and drink less wine.” Then he took the wine pot to boil it.

Chunying was anxious, Mother Lu gave her a few winks, and then temporarily suppressed, followed her to the kitchen, saw no one around, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes, and asked: "Mom, how can you be like this?" Forget it?! Aunt Lu said she would help. Isn’t Mrs. Wu already taken away by Aunt Xu? Her family will definitely not get this job, so how can we give up such a good opportunity?!”

Lu's mother patted her head: "Confused! Your father is feeling uncomfortable, why are you betting on him? There is only a rumor about this matter. I don't know when it will be until I really want to send someone. Slowly persuade him." He is. Mrs. Wu speaks loudly, but she has no idea. Who is Mr. Wang? He has a lot of nephews in his own family, so how can he still fall in love with her man? As for the second young master..." She sneered, "He will be favored again in the mansion , is just a young master who is not in charge of the family, and it is related to the important matter of offering sacrifices to Tian Zhuangzi, and it is not his turn to intervene!"

After hearing this, Chunying's eyes lit up: "So...we still have a good chance? Mother also agrees with Dad to fight for this errand?"

Mother Lu glanced at her: "Silly girl, if you say you are stupid, you are really a stick! No matter how good the errands are, you have to take care of them. Although you, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, will help, there is no reason to ask others to pay for it! Save some money first. Let’s talk about money, otherwise, no matter how good the job is, it won’t be your father’s turn!"

Chunying smirked twice. Looking back, she seemed a little impatient. In fact, Aunt Lu had already returned to the village. It would take at least a few months until her family got out of citizenship. Find a way to make money, as long as you have money, even if this errand is not up to you, you can still come up with other ideas.

Thinking of this, she also relaxed, helped her mother boil the wine, and returned the bottle to her father.

Lu Yougui took a sip of the hot wine in satisfaction, smacked his lips, and said, "Good girl!" Then he took out two or three silver coins from his bosom, and gave a smaller one to Chunying: "Today there is a The officials from the south came to pay homage, and they were so generous. I shared the money. You should have some pocket money when you grow up so big, so save yourself! Buy less snacks, buy more needles and thread, and learn from female celebrities. I will be as capable as your mother in the future."

Chunying took the silver, suddenly didn't know what to say, opened her mouth, and felt her throat was blocked.

Lu's mother frowned: "How old is she, so you give her so much money?!"

Lu Yougui stuffed the other two silver coins into her arms: "Take these, buy some more rice, and tear a new piece of cloth for my son. My son is growing up, it's time to eat rice." Hiccup, feeling a little drunk, drank the remaining half cup of hot wine, climbed onto the kang and fell asleep.

Lu's mother's eyes were red, and she cursed "I'm drunk again", but she covered him with a quilt very carefully and heated up the kang.

Chunying held the silver coin tightly in her hand, took a deep breath, and felt something sprouting in her heart.

At this moment, there was a heavy knock on the door, which startled the mother and daughter of the Lu family.Chun Ying hurriedly ran to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Is it Chun'er? I'm your second uncle, open the door!"
