Chapter one hundred and ninety-three: mother-in-law
When the gate of Cheng's house was busy with people coming and going, an old woman with hair that was mostly gray walked forward with small steps.
The woman who was holding her daughter in her hands and weighing her feet and looking forward was secretly worried. With so many people, when will it be their turn to go in and show it to Chengyang Taoist priests?
She didn't say that her daughter was born at the same time as Chu Jiuzi. It's almost the same. The one who can make Young Master Cheng happy is her daughter!
These people are crowded together, what a delay!
In fact, she had shouted to the front several times since she arrived that her daughter was that person!
It's a pity that none of the gatekeepers of the Cheng family listened to her.
The woman stretched out her hand to push away the person in front of her, and moved forward to get there faster, but the person in front of her was not easy to deal with. With a smooth push, she staggered back and bumped into her.
The old woman looking forward.
The woman stood firm and saw that the old lady was alone and had nothing to do anyway, so she struck up a conversation with her, "Say, aunt, you also have a daughter who was born in the ninth grade of junior high school? Why are you lining up here if you don't bring her?"
If no one comes, why don't you ask Chengyang Taoist priests to look at you?"
The old woman is thinking about the purpose of coming here, so how can she have time to talk to her?
"Old woman, I was born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month!" She scoffed, turning around and seeing an old woman guarding the side door, but no one was queuing up, so she walked towards that end.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to realize. What the hell? This old woman's body was already halfway into the ground. Even if she was born at the age of nine, would the Cheng family be willing to have it?
It’s so funny! I’m crazy about money!
The woman almost burst out laughing, but when she saw the old lady heading towards the side door, her eyes bulged and she kept a close eye on that side.
When the woman who was guarding the side door saw someone coming this way, she couldn't help but stare at the person, wanting to see what the person wanted to do.
When the old woman arrived, before she could say anything, she smiled like a chrysanthemum on her face, "Oh, sister, you are on duty as the doorkeeper today? The weather is neither hot nor cold, so this is a good job."
Seeing the old woman's familiar tone, the mother-in-law didn't know how to get close to her. She was a servant of the Cheng family and could not be bribed easily. "Sister, when people come to the Cheng family village, they always bring their daughters and granddaughters with them."
Come on, the queue should be over there. What are you doing here? Are you here to chat with me? I'm still on duty and I don't have time to spare, so you'd better go find someone else."
The old woman was still smiling, "I'm not just here to bring you good luck, but I'd be happy to tell you this great thing if it were anyone else!"
The mother-in-law was suspicious after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at the old woman, wanting to hear what she had to say, "What good thing?"
Is this old woman out of her mind? Did she come to Cheng's house to fool people?
"Good thing! Great thing! The eldest sister is from the Cheng family. You should know what the masters of the Cheng family are worried about recently, right? If you can solve this problem and help the masters a lot, won't you win the eyes of the masters?
Not only will you be rewarded, but I will at least promote you to a stewardess, isn't that a good thing?" the old lady said.
The mother-in-law listened for a long time, and when she heard it, it turned out to be this. What have the masters been worried about recently? Isn't it the young master's illness?
I've never been able to find a girl that I'm happy with, so I'm worried about this.
If anyone can find it, he or she will be rewarded.
At her age, she is also an old member of the Cheng family. The people who served her back then are now all the nuns around Madam, but she can only guard the door. This is something she paid a lot of money for.
If you can be a stewardess, you will be naturally decent and beautiful.
However, the mother-in-law looked at the old woman suspiciously, "Are you talking big words? Do you know where the girl who is really suitable for weddings is?"
The old lady winked at the old lady proudly, "Of course! Madam, I only save people who are destined for me, so I can only tell you this. Whether you can seize this good opportunity depends on you."
Not to mention this superior posture, it really attracted the attention of the mother-in-law who was already attracted. She subconsciously said anxiously: "Where is that? Sister, please tell me!"
The old woman smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, my business is to tell people's horoscopes for marriage and exorcise evil spirits. I remember the birth horoscopes of all those who have come to my place and have their horoscopes calculated. What a coincidence.
There is a baby girl who was born on the ninth day of August. She is exactly fourteen years old this year!"
When the mother-in-law heard this, she was overjoyed and asked, "Seriously? Who is that girl?"
The old woman was so excited that she walked down the stairs and grabbed her hand.
If this person was brought to her masters by her, that would be a great thing!
At this time, she had no doubt at all that this old woman was a goddess. It was not surprising that a goddess could know some people's birthdays and horoscopes.
"As long as you tell me, old sister, I will definitely benefit from you if I get the reward!"
She concluded that this mother-in-law just wanted to get some benefits, but not just anyone could enter the Cheng family, and not everyone could see the masters, so she settled for the next best thing and asked for help.
It just so happens that she is on duty today, and God is helping her! I can't stand it anymore, she can only be a gatekeeper!
The old lady was so excited that she couldn't help but hold on to her hand.
The old woman was in pain from being caught, but thinking about the two taels of silver, it was more important to get the matter done, so she immediately said: "This girl is from Songshan Village more than 20 miles away. Her family's surname is Zhang, and Songshan Village is like this."
A family named Zhang found out upon inquiry that the girl had a fright when she was a child, and her grandmother came to me to exorcise the evil spirits in her arms. I then knew the birth date of the girl.
I just heard two days ago that the young master of the Cheng family had to give birth to a baby girl at the same time as Chujiuzi. I thought of it immediately. I didn't plan to come forward, thinking that the family must have heard the news.
When the time comes, people will be sent to your door. There is no need for me, a woman, to talk too much. After all, in our line of work, casually leaking people's birthdays and horoscopes is not a good thing, right?
But after two days, I heard from people in the same village that there was still a lot of excitement in front of Cheng's house, and they hadn't found the girl yet. I thought that the family hadn't heard it, so I went to Songshan Village yesterday to check it out.
Take a look.
That's right! Everyone in the village was talking about this. It's impossible for their family not to know. I actually found out that the girl was already engaged. I'm afraid it was because of this that the family didn't come to the door! I guess it was
I hid it on purpose!"
"You said this! I went back last night and thought about it all night! I always thought about the great kindness of the Cheng family. Now that I know this, it would be really hard for me if I kept it secret and didn't talk about it! So today I will
I couldn't help but come here specifically, otherwise, if I didn't tell her, and if the family didn't tell me, your Cheng family would never have found the happy girl! The young master can't afford to wait!"
