[Red Chamber] Buddhist concubine

Zhou Yao shook her head: "No, where else can I go?"

Zhou's mother thought for a while and nodded: "That's right, you just left the Lin family, even if you have other ideas, there is no way to implement them, you can only stay at home."

Zhou Yao opened her mouth and looked at Zhou's mother in disbelief.

Zhou's mother raised her hand and tapped Zhou Yao's forehead: "Is it possible that my mother doesn't know that you are so gaudy?"

Zhou Yao smiled embarrassingly: "Mother is wise."

Zhou's mother shook her head: "Go to eat first, and I will settle accounts with you after eating!"

Zhou Yao could only nod her head.

Zhou's mother's eyes fell on Qingliu behind Zhou Yao, and she looked at her in surprise: "Isn't this Qingliu? When did you come to my house? I remember that the two maids serving you are red palms and emerald palms, not Qingliu, right?"

Before Zhou Yao could speak, Qingliu bowed to Zhou's mother and said, "Hi, old lady."

"Yeah, what's your name, old lady?" Zhou's mother shook her body uncomfortably, "You can still call me Wang Ma."

She turned to look at Zhou Yao, "What's going on? Why did Qingliu come to our house?"

Zhou Yao had no choice but to explain: "Qingliu used to serve in my yard, but this time when she heard that I left the Lin family, she felt reluctant, so she took the money she had saved over the years to redeem herself, and came after me. She even handed over the deed of sale. Give it to me."

Wang Ma looked at Qingliu with a suspicious expression on her face: "These little girls only have so much money per month, how can they save enough money for redemption so quickly? Second sister, the money you got from the Lin family is your own, no matter you I don't have any opinion on how to spend it, so why make up nonsense to fool me?"

Zhou Yao had no choice but to say, "It's really the silver that Qingliu saved herself."

In order to prevent Zhou's mother from asking again, Zhou Yao directly pulled her to the front yard.

Because of their background as servants, the Zhou family did not have so many rules. Every time they ate, the whole family would gather together to dine, one table for men, one table for women, and another table for children.

When the three of Zhou Yao came to the place to eat, everyone except Zhou's father had already arrived.

Looking at the past, only a piece of black hair can be seen.

The Zhou family is really thriving.

Zhou Yao silently sighed, and led by Zhou's mother to her place.

It's okay, my lord, at least Zhou Yao has met them two or three times, even if they are strangers, they won't be surprised.It was different for children, the older Zhou Yao had met each other before, but the younger ones were forgetful, and after not seeing each other for two years, Zhou Yao became a somewhat familiar stranger to them.And when Zhou Yao became the aunt of the Lin family, there were still a few children who were not old enough to remember.

So after Zhou Yao entered, a group of children all looked at her.

Zhou Yao smiled at them, and then sat down in her seat.

Qingliu stood aside, wanting to serve Zhou Yao for dinner.

Before Zhou's mother objected, Zhou Yao quickly stopped her: "The house is not that particular, so you can sit down and eat with us. You can go out after eating."

Even when she was in Lin's house, Zhou Yao didn't need other people to serve her meals, let alone she left Lin's house now.

But Qingliu followed her here, and it would be unkind to let her stand aside and watch them eat.So Zhou Yao simply asked her to sit down to eat together, presumably compared to Qing Liu standing aside and watching them eat, they are more likely to accept Qing Liu eating with them.

When Zhou's mother heard this, she also nodded: "Qingliu, please sit down quickly. Our Yiqian family are servants who serve others, and there are not so many rules."

Qingliu quickly shook her head.

Zhou Yao smiled, and pulled her to sit beside her: "Dinner first!"

Qingliu still wanted to say something, but Zhou Yao simply said: "This is my order, if you can't do it, you'd better leave Zhou's house!"

Qingliu had no choice but to sit down politely.

After eating, Qingliu couldn't wait to leave Zhou's house and went out to find a dentist.

After ordering a few wives to clean up the mess, Mother Zhou took Zhou Yao back to the house, and then asked, "Tell me, what are your plans for the future? Why did you leave the Lin family suddenly? Did you make a mistake, or did you leave on your own initiative? "

Zhou Yao answered these three questions one by one without hiding anything.

Mother Zhou frowned after hearing this: "Because I suddenly felt that being a concubine is not easy, so I begged to go? The old lady agrees?"

Zhou Yao shook her head: "The old lady should be reluctant, but she didn't stop her wife from talking about it."

Mrs?

Mother Zhou's expression was not very good-looking: "Madam, have you taken a fancy to my mother's two granddaughters?"

"No."

"Then how could she agree to let you leave the Lin Mansion?"

Zhou Yao was a little hesitant, wondering if she should tell Zhou's mother that she was writing a novel and that the novel she wrote was quite popular.

However, when she was hesitating, Zhou's mother asked again: "You said that you have asked Qingliu to go to the tooth shop to find out if there is any suitable house, and you will move there after a while... Let's not talk about my opinion, I will just give it a try. I just want to ask you, where did you get the money to buy the house? Although the Lin family has rewarded you with a lot of money, do you want to use all the money to buy the house? Then what will happen to your future life? Don’t even think about it. Out is out!"

Zhou Yao shook her head: "I have other means of making a living, and I won't just sit and eat."

Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Yao seriously, seeing that she didn't seem to intend to tell her the so-called means of earning a living, her expression suddenly became a little ugly: "What exactly is your so-called means of earning a living?"

Zhou Yao sighed: "Mom, I can't tell you for now."

Until the Zhou family's attitude and attitude towards this matter is not confirmed, Zhou Yao does not intend to let them know that she is writing a novel for the time being.Even if she wanted to tell her, she would have to wait until she moved and would not be restrained by the Zhou family.

Zhou's mother looked worried: "If you don't tell me how to make a living in the future, my mother will never allow you to leave the Zhou family and start a new family."

Zhou Yao smiled wryly: "Mother, with my status, it's not good for everyone to stay in the Zhou family."

"What's wrong?" Zhou's mother stared, "Are you worried about your three sister-in-laws and younger siblings? Don't worry, they dare not say anything to you when I'm here. The good days of the Zhou family are all because of you." , if they are ungrateful and dare to gossip about you, you just come to me, I want them to look good!"

Zhou's mother softened her tone, "You can live at home with peace of mind, don't think about it!"

Zhou Yao laughed: "But mother, I don't feel comfortable living here."

"This is your home too. Why are you uncomfortable? Or do you feel wronged because your home is too small?"

Mother Zhou couldn't understand what kind of temperament her daughter was.When I was a slave, my heart was higher than the sky, and I was devoted to climbing the dragon and the phoenix. Now that I am used to living a good life, I may indeed feel dissatisfied when I return to the Zhou family to live a hard life.

Zhou Yao originally wanted to deny it, but after a moment of hesitation, she simply agreed: "I still have a lot of money in my hand, even if I buy a house, I can still have what I need for my future life, so there is no need to wrong myself. "

Thinking of the patriarchal patriarchal people in ancient times who wanted to subsidize their sons by digging up their daughters, she endured the discomfort in her heart and said, "Mother, don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. I have a lot of spare money. I also plan to change my family to a more spacious house..."

Zhou's mother was furious: "What do you think of my old lady? You are having a hard time now, how can I still make trouble?"
