As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside.
Hua Ying immediately frowned: "These people are really going too far!"
"Oh, don't get angry in a hurry!" Xu Qingmo looked at Hua Ying, "Wait a minute, let's wait a minute!"
At this time, the old lady who had been tinkering in the small kitchen heard the noise outside and strode out: "What's going on! I didn't know that the girl was feeling unwell and needed to rest!"
Xu Qingmo glanced at Huaying: "Let's just wait and see the good show!"
Huaying's face was full of distrust, but she still resisted the urge to go out and stood in the yard waiting.
The old lady has been in charge of the family for many years and has spent her whole life with the He family. She has experienced both good and bad. Compared with the soft and weak Mrs. Xu, she is more than a little stronger!
"Hey, this must be Miss Xu's grandmother from the south of the Yangtze River!" One of them looked at Mrs. He with even a bit of contempt in his eyes.
"Our old lady is a first-class royal wife!" Mrs. He saw the woman's eyes full of contempt, "Although we are from a small place in the south of the Yangtze River, our seniority and official rank are all here. How can this lady be so polite? Don’t you even know how to do it?”
The woman's face was full of shock. Since the death of the older generation, almost all the He family has returned to Jiangnan. In his opinion, the He family has long been in decline, but she doesn't know that the He family is a century-old family. The disciples among them have been working in various places for a long time, and retreating to Jiangnan is just a short-term concession.
The imperial edict on Mrs. He was real, given by the late emperor himself.
"My wife..."
"That's all!" Old Mrs. He interrupted the woman who was about to bend down to salute, with eyes full of contempt, "Today's capital, there are really a mixed bag of people, running into other people's yards to make a fuss. There are no rules at all, and I don’t know if all the etiquette has gone into the dog’s belly!”
"Hey, you..."
"Madam!" Mrs. He stepped forward. She was tall, a head taller than this woman. When she looked at her, she lowered her head slightly, "I advise you to speak more carefully. What? You, mine, my mother-in-law is an elder after all, so if I call you Mrs. He politely, I am not wronging you, right?"
Although the woman was dissatisfied with being spoken to, the elders in front of her could not speak or scold them, and they had to offer sacrifices, so she smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the little woman has eyesight but cannot see the mountains, and does not know what is in front of her." This is Mrs. He. If you offend the old lady, please forgive me deeply!"
Old Mrs. He glanced at the woman and frowned slightly: "You are good at talking. Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you in all these years?"
The woman paused, then smiled and said, "The little woman's husband is Qian Zhoucheng, the imperial censor!"
Mrs. He thought about it carefully, then looked back at Madam He: "When did we become relatives with the Imperial Censor's family?"
Mrs. Qian's face turned ugly for a moment, and then she continued to smile and said: "Oh, I have some friendship with Mrs. Xu. Didn't I hear that Miss Xu was injured and came here to see her? The little girl's family , I don’t know how injured I am, it’s so pitiful!”
Mrs. He frowned slightly: "Since you know that our girl is injured, you should also know that he needs to rest now. You came here in such a noisy way. What you know is that you came to see our Mo Mo. Those who don’t know think they are here to quarrel with us, Mo Mo!”
Mrs. Qian was speechless for a moment, and after a long while she smiled: "I just came to see Miss Xu. If Miss Xu is fine, I will go back of course!"
"Ms. Qian's words are interesting. What do you mean you went back when Mo Mo had nothing to do? Could it be that if something happened to Mo Mo, you would still have to stay and take care of her?" Mrs. He said with a smile.
Madam Qian looked at the two women from the He family and immediately understood that they would not let her see the two girls from the Xu family easily. However, Mrs. He could not afford to offend.
"The madam is joking, I just want to come and see Miss Xu..."
"Let's see if she has broken arms and legs, and if she is a woman of the right age who is worth fighting for!" Old Mrs. He said coldly, "You don't have to do this kind of trick in front of me!"
Mrs. Qian's purpose was exposed, and she felt a little embarrassed immediately, but she still tried to find a reason to cover up the fact: "Old Madam, I was joking, I just wanted to come and see Miss Xu, why did you misunderstand me, Old Madam..."
"Have I misunderstood? You understand very well, but I'm afraid your plan to see our Mo Mo today will come to nothing!" Mrs. He looked at her coldly, "Let's not talk about whether my girl has any shortcomings or not. , even if he really loses his arms and legs, it won’t be the turn of people like you who don’t know etiquette!”
"Old lady..."
"My daughter who has not left the palace has been injured, so she is naturally shy to see people. It's a good thing that you have lived a long time, and you don't even know this truth. You come to our house to see people with all your messy things! Mrs. He interrupted him directly, "It's just that you know that our eldest lady has a gentle temper and is not easy to reject people, so you just bullied her!"
"The old lady really misunderstood me. I just wanted to see Miss Xu and see that she is feeling better..."
"Of course it's unnecessary!" Mrs. He sneered, "It's not that I regard your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, but in what you are doing now, I really can't see any kindness at all. You are an elder. If you go to the courtyard of an injured girl out of nowhere, is it possible that you have to ask the girl who is resting on the bed to stand up and serve you?"
People outside, you and I were arguing fiercely, Xu Qingmo listened with some interest inside, and looked at Hua Ying from time to time: "Look, I told you, my grandmother is not me A soft persimmon like my mother lets others bully her!"
"Old Mrs. He spent the first half of her life rich and prosperous, and the second half of her life was busy and hardworking. She is also an admirable person!" Meng Hetong said softly.
Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong, and then said with a smile: "When a person reaches a dead end, he must either open up a new path, or use the ground as a prison to stay in place. Grandma is not a person who is trapped in the ground, so she will naturally rush out!"
Meng Hetong took a careful look at Xu Qingmo, and then said: "Then your temperament is probably very similar to your grandmother's!"
