Chapter 23 Rules?
"Oh? Didn't you say you want to see me?"
In the courtyard, the old lady leaned on the couch chair in the bedroom, closed her eyes, and slowly turned a string of red sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand. She heard the words of the close-fitting nanny beside her and asked for a long time.
The dark purple cotton coat looks very thick, with a dark green jade embedded in the middle of the forehead of the same color. It is slightly fat and the face is full of redness. When it is old, it is inevitably pleated, but it is well maintained, with almost no age spots on the face, black and white hair, and the bun is tidy.
I am afraid of the cold when I am old, and the heating stove in the house is very hot.
"I just said to pay my respects to my grandparents, kowtowed and left. By the way, I still left this, and there was nothing else."
The old lady said oh, her body moved slightly, and Madam Chen hurriedly stepped forward and sat up straight.
"I'll take a look."
Madam Chen immediately acted at the maid Chunlan, who was beside her, "Look at it, it's two pairs of socks." The navy blue, exactly the same, just a pair of smaller ones, and a pair of larger ones, like men. I guess the eldest lady meant it for the old lady and the old man.
When I left something, I left without saying it.
The old lady glanced at her and signaled Madam Chen to pick it up and take a look.
"This... is my intention." Madam Chen was holding two pairs of socks and didn't know what to say. This younger generation gave a lot of needlework to her elders, but she had never seen one who gave socks and some, and that was also a matter of effort. Either the embroidery work or the stitching work was good.
Look at what I have on my hands, at least I can barely cut it neatly, and the stitches and piping are simply invisible. There is also the fabric...coarse cloth, let alone embroiderer, it is made of clean faces.
But thinking about the situation of the young lady, it is reasonable to bring out such a thing, just a little silly. Everyone knows to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. It is better not to give it to them.
Madam Chen shook her head secretly. She was not in good condition and was not smart enough. It was a waste of trouble to take it back.
"Pick it up." The old lady took it in her hand and looked at it, then put it back on the tray. As soon as she put it down, she moved her hand and picked it up again. She squinted her eyes and held it in her hand for a while. Her eyes turned a little brighter, "Is there a lot of intent?"
"Old lady, I'm stupid. Is there anything else to say?" Madam Chen is the old man in front of the old lady, so she doesn't avoid it.
Put down the socks and continue to turn the Buddhist beads, "Chunlan, leave a pair of small ones, and the other pair will be sent to the old man."
"Yes!" Chunlan felt novel in her heart.
Madam Chen quickly handed the tray to Chunlan and signaled that Chunlan would go quickly.
"The child used this pair of socks to complain about his grievances and sent someone to ask. I'm afraid he's suffering a lot over the years... But who made her life bad!"
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of my deceased son. The fortune teller said that the child's fate was a must-have, but at that time he said he would send him to the village to change his fate. After he got older, his son also went there and she believed it a little, and she was afraid that only one grandson was left in the big house!
So I was so cruel that I thought about keeping it outside. When I got old, I told her about marriage. Now, the fortune teller said that the two children not only had no fate, but also had a good relationship. Maybe the grandson's health would be better. The eldest daughter-in-law spoke by herself. At first, she was hesitant, but the old man nodded, and she followed the situation and asked to take it back.
"There is not a case of giving away the eldest lady to the village every year..." Madam Chen swallowed her words before she finished speaking.
Such a lady who is no one cares about and no one cares about, it sounds nice and it is a lady. To put it bad, it is nothing. How can those people underground serve? Don’t talk about the example, I’m afraid it’s all about food and clothing... I think of what I saw just now, and there was another silence.
When people get old, their minds are sometimes weak. After all, they are their granddaughters. I couldn't help asking a few more questions, and Madam Chen also replied carefully one by one.
"What? There are scars on your face? Have you asked what's going on?"
It’s okay if you don’t serve well, but why are you still injured? After all, the master of the mansion is still far away and the village of the Lin family.
The old lady's face changed and her voice became a little louder.
"The old lady felt heartbroken by her granddaughter, but she was careful and she should stop getting angry. I asked and said she had fallen accidentally." Madam Chen quickly replied, and finally sighed. She looked like she was not allowed to take her out.
"She fell? She said it herself?" She obviously didn't believe it, how big a person could fall like that.
Madam Chen knew the old lady's meaning and was also confused. She hesitated and said, "Miss is indeed saying that."
When the old lady heard this, she was silent again, "Later, I sent someone to ask how the placement was. If you fill it in what you lack, I will fill it in. Although my Lin family is not as good as before, I can still raise a girl."
After hearing this, Madam Chen immediately looked down and said, "Yes, I'll let Chunlan go in a while." After the people in the courtyard were here, it also showed the old lady's attitude, and it was not easy for the servants in the house to go too far.
But... the old lady said the latter...is that she was preparing to not say kissing to the eldest lady and she wanted to support the old girl.
Alas! It's like that, I'm afraid it's all that can be done.
"What a pity, he is a person who understands the rules. By the way, everyone's kind-hearted person is also a kind person." After a moment, the old lady muttered again.
Madam Chen also said a few words without any pain, and the old lady was a little tired and quieted down the house.
Obviously, the old lady misunderstood. She thought that her eldest granddaughter came to pay her respects was the guidance of the eldest daughter-in-law.
But the eldest lady didn't expect this to happen at all. When she heard that Yuan's mother went to the courtyard without entering the yard, she was shocked and muttered why Qian'er didn't stop her.
Then he flashed his head and patted his chest. Fortunately, he went there, but he went there, otherwise he would have lost the biggest rules. Everyone knows that in this family, the old lady values the most rules.
"You said, is this what she was going to? Didn't someone remind me?...Yunlan was sent to the gate of the yard? Couldn't she give it a tip?"
Mrs. Lin was puzzled in her heart that Qian'er was a good idea for her to do things, but she was not so erotic. It shouldn't be her. Yunlan from the second wife was the most popular among all the girls because she knew the rules, was sensible, and was well-educated.
But would she be so kind and give it a little special? Is it really a good one?
"It's all my fault. I was neglected. If she didn't pass today, the old lady would definitely not have seen her tomorrow." Mrs. Lin grabbed the handkerchief and looked glad.
Yuan's mother was also glad that she forgot about this. She didn't crawl out of her wife's belly, so she didn't have the intention to plan for her. "Madam, we are begging us to take back. In the future, I'm afraid we'll still have some snacks."
"Yes, yes, you look for a nanny, don't say anything else, at least teach some rules, don't let someone talk about my stepmother."
The master is gone, there are only a few people in the big house, and there is nothing to compete for, and there is no need to act for anyone to see. It is better to accumulate some virtue than to think it is for the sake of your son to accumulate blessings.
I'm not here for a long time, I'm fourteen, and I'm going to get married sooner or later.
"Madam, the eldest lady is back!"
Outside, there was already a notification.
