Chapter 29: Greasy
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, also known as Po Wu, there are customs of eating dumplings, receiving the God of Wealth, and marrying a daughter to return to the door.
The eldest young grandmother of Dingyang Hou Mansion is from Yingchuan, and the mountain is high and the road is far away, so this door naturally cannot be returned. At this time, you can see the benefits of the proximity of the mother's home, the second young grandmother Qiao Sulan is from the old mansion, and the whole family lives in the capital.
When he arrived at the place, Pei Jinzhi first went to meet Qiao Ge Lao, Qiao Ge Lao is not only his teacher, but also his elder, and he has always spared no effort to take care of this grandson-in-law, in some respects he is Pei Jinzhi's biggest backer in the officialdom.
Sun Weng's son-in-law had a very happy conversation in the study. Qiao Sulan was called over by her mother, and the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were intimate and happy for a while.
Qiao Sulan's mother's surname is Wang, there are only one son and one daughter and two children, the eldest son is called Qiao Mingxuan to marry his wife Shang, and the younger couple now has only one little daughter named Qiao Shan, who is more than two years old, and the remaining daughter is Qiao Sulan. Wang looked at his daughter in front of him who was radiant and had a good face, and he was really very happy in his heart, and said repeatedly: "This family business that your grandfather set for you is really right!"
Qiao Sulan's face turned red when she heard this, and she said angrily: "My mother didn't agree to it at the beginning! Now I praise my grandfather for his wisdom!"
"Didn't you take care of the special situation of his family at the beginning!" Wang said with a smile: "What kind of loser is the second master of the Dingyang Hou family, who doesn't know in the capital? And he is a stepmother, I'm not afraid that you will marry in and suffer!"
Qiao Sulan pursed her lips and smiled, opened her mouth and said, "Mother rest assured, although my father-in-law is out of tune, but there is a Hou Ye suppressing it above, but he can't make trouble for us." Although my mother-in-law is not the biological mother of my father-in-law, to be honest, it is not bad for us, and my daughter is better than my father-in-law!"
The Wang family was even happier when he heard this, who doesn't want his girl to marry well! The son-in-law himself has nothing to say, he is handsome, and he is a first-class son-in-law who rides the dragon, that is, the elders in the family are not in tune, so the Wang family is worried!
"Okay, well, as long as you live well, my mother's heart will be steady!" Wang patted the back of Qiao Sulan's hand and laughed repeatedly, Qiao Sulan buried her head in her mother's shoulder socket like a coquettish, beautiful appearance.
"That's right!" Wang laughed for a while, and then said as if he remembered something: "You have been married for a while, do you have any faith in your stomach?"
Qiao Sulan's face stiffened slightly when she heard this, and she shook her head and said, "I just came to menstrual affairs a few days ago. ”
"Then you have to hurry!" Wang Shi said with a serious face: "While you two newlyweds Yan'er are in a strong relationship, hurry up Mr. One, don't care if it's a man or a woman, only if you have a child, your position as a young grandmother can be considered stable, otherwise."
The more time passes, the easier it is to be exploited by other women. ”
"Mother, I'm still young! I'm not in a hurry, and Xianggong is not that kind of person. Qiao said a little sullenly.
"Silly boy. Which man doesn't love fresh, if you don't worry now, you should suffer in the future. ”
"My mother can hold her father in the palm of her hand for a lifetime, but I don't know that my daughter can't do it?"
"Fool, can your father compare with Jinzhi?" Everything has a disadvantage and a benefit, her husband's nest is useless but it is better than having no flowers, and she has a good mother-in-law, so she has kept it smoothly until now. But the son-in-law is different, at first glance, he is a tough person with a very good idea, and with his ability, he will definitely be able to have a day of success in the future. But except for my father-in-law, I don't have any reading seeds under my family, and I don't have a knighthood by my side, and when my father-in-law is gone, I won't be sure what will happen in the future
"My mother has heard about your big house! Isn't that pregnant aunt just the old lady in the house giving it?" Wang frowned disapprovingly: "Look, you haven't even given birth to your own child, but you have become a mother to someone else!
Of course my daughter doesn't want to. Qiao Sulan's face was swept with a dark cloud, why didn't she be in a hurry.
"In this way, you go back and try for a few more months, if it really doesn't work, let's find a doctor immediately, the sooner the better, you know?" Qiao Sulan nodded.
"Grandmother... Aunt...... I'm in!" a child's voice sounded outside the door.
Qiao Sulan immediately turned her face and smiled, and said loudly: "It's Sister Shan, come in, let my aunt take a look." ”
Sure enough, a moment later, a woman with a big belly and a big belly walked in with a little female doll. As soon as the baby entered the door, she ran to Qiao Sulan's arms and called her aunt one by one.
Sister Shan looked taller again. Qiao Sulan touched the little girl's head, and then said to the pot-bellied woman: "Sister-in-law's body is inconvenient, don't come out, and I will be polite." ”
When Shang heard this, he smiled and sat down next to his mother-in-law.
"It's almost the day of giving birth!" Qiao Sulan looked at Shang's huge abdomen, and her eyes showed a look of envy.
"Yes, it's been a few days. Shang smiled. It's not easy for her to blame, it's been several years since she entered the door, and she only got a sister Shan, and now this one in her arms is no longer a male heir, and her mother-in-law alone is enough for her to drink a pot.
The two sisters-in-law talked amiably for a while, and Shang mentioned one thing: "Your brother has a thin face, so I'm embarrassed to say it." In fact, there is one thing, I want my sister to help. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Qiao Sulan raised her eyebrows suspiciously.
Shang Shi said, "You also know your brother's ability. Wen is not good, but he has a few strengths, so he wants to go to the martial arts, but our family has no way in this regard, so I want to ask my sister's in-laws to help you find a good future for your brother. ”
After all, the Pei family started with martial arts, and they have a wide range of roads in the army, and they can feel the water in it clearly. Which position is the easiest to shine, which place is the easiest to be promoted, with the help of the Pei family, Qiao Sulan's eldest brother, naturally goes more smoothly and easily. And the most important thing is that this matter is just Qiao Ge Lao's hand, and no one else can grasp any handles. Qiao Sulan thought about it and felt that this was not a big deal, so she responded in one bite, Shang Shi naturally smiled when she heard it, and even the Wang family on the side also pursed the corners of her mouth happily.
Qiao's and Pei Jinzhi had lunch at the old mansion before returning to the Hou Mansion. When she was in the car, Qiao Sulan found a free time to tell her eldest brother about it, Pei Jinzhi didn't say anything when she heard it, only nodded and said lightly: Got it!
The carriage entered the Hou Mansion, and before the husband and wife got out of the car, someone ran over.
He An, who was in the car, immediately greeted him, and he didn't know what the man said, so He An's face went in the direction of the bitter gourd.
"Young master......" He An knocked on the wall of the car, and when Pei Jinzhi looked over, he leaned over and said quickly in his ear.
Pei Jinzhi listened to him expressionlessly, groaned slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about him, go back to the courtyard directly." ”
"Husband, is something wrong?" Qiao Sulan carefully looked at his face and asked curiously.
Pei Jinzhi half-narrowed his eyes, obviously not wanting to say more.
Qiao Sulan's face froze, trembled, and she was silent.
The temperature outside was low, and the carriage drove directly into [Cangmu Zhai], Pei Jinzhi went to the study, but Qiao Sulan was itching to call someone over to inquire.
Scarlet is an anxious person who talks a lot, and as soon as the master asked, he immediately said with an itchy and unbearable crackle.
This incident turned out to be a peachy incident, and the protagonist of the incident was Qiao Sulan's father-in-law, the second master in the Dingyang Hou Mansion.
“…… The woman's surname is Fan, she was originally a businessman's flat wife, she was raised in an alley in the capital, and I don't know how the second master hooked up with someone, and the two of them had a bad thing, and then the woman was pregnant, and was broken by the businessman who came back, and now she is leading people to come to the door and ask our family to give him an explanation. "The so-called flat wife of a merchant is actually a concubine. But in any case, the woman was also a married woman. Now that the second master has slept with people like this, and he has slept out of the child, no matter how you look at it, it is a shocking scandal.
Sure enough, when Qiao Sulan heard this black thing, she began to get angry in her heart, and secretly hated: "Father-in-law is really good! "The position of the Hanlin Academy is extremely noble, and those who are poor in the Hanlin Academy must also be extraordinarily noble and noble. Hanlin, whose father was stealing and eating women outside, said that he would go out, so he was naturally faceless.
However, no matter how much Qiao complains in his heart, things will have a result after all.
The Hou Mansion paid the price of five thousand taels of silver to silence the merchant and agree to reconcile.
Dingyang Hou was disgusted enough by this matter, however, this woman is now carrying a child in her arms, and the second master insists that the child is his own, and the old lady Shen is reluctant to have a grandson, but the woman still entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, although she was only locked in a side courtyard, but she also entered the door, and as long as she gave birth to a child in the future, a concubine would not be able to run.
"Back to the young master, the minions are useless, and they lost people!" He An knelt on the ground and said very ashamedly.
"Lost?" Pei Jinzhi put down the scroll in his hand and asked lightly.
"Yes, it's strange to say, the merchant entered the inn last night, but this morning, the person is gone!" He An also looked confused.
When Pei Jinzhi heard this, a thoughtful expression flashed on his face.
It's gone?
How can a good person disappear?
Qing's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and Pei Jinzhi sneered: It's greasy.
