Chapter 145: Uneasy Life
Cai's mother said in her heart: I don't dare, but that Dua Niu, at first glance, is a scoundrel in the market, if he is really crazy and takes out the contract in black and white, even the government is helpless.
The eldest lady sighed angrily: "That Dua Niu, what a brainless person, such a simple little thing, actually made such a big noise! Temporarily lent the shop to him, but he floated to the sky, what is strong, now it is good, the city is full of storms, everyone thinks that our Yuanning Hou Mansion does not talk about credibility!"
Cai's mother was silent, it is true that the capital is not a big place, especially Yuanning Hou is also a figure with a face in the capital. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, I'm afraid that this will be kung fu, and this bad news has spread all over the corners of the capital.
As soon as Mother Cai wanted to say something, she heard Mother Du's voice outside: "Big lady, the old lady said, let you go over." ”
The eldest lady's face was even more ugly, so she got out of bed and followed Du's mother out. When she came back, her face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and Cai's mother knew that it was not a good thing, so she asked the girls to put on the fakes such as those teapots, teacups, vases, etc., which she had bought outside in advance, and the eldest lady really smashed several in a row in a rage, so as to calm the anger in her chest.
After the eldest lady was relieved, Cai's mother told the maids to come in and clean up, and then walked a few steps closer and said softly: "The old lady is looking for Mrs. again?"
The eldest lady said hatefully: "That old immortal, I don't know where I heard the people below chewing the root of his tongue, called me away, and warned me to pay attention to the impact of what I said." Can't ruin the prestige of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. What's wrong with me, isn't it just a shop? That old thing has to get involved? It seems that the old thing has really lived too long, and he thinks he's going to live a long time. ”
Cai's mother was frightened. jumped a lot, hurriedly closed the door and window, and said in a low voice: "Madam, we are not at home now, there are some things that cannot be said." ”
The eldest lady snorted coldly, of course she knew what she was talking about. Honestly, she'd been putting up with that old thing for a long time. If it weren't for that old thing holding her back, she would have let go of her hands and feet early in the morning, but she was afraid that she would have driven all the two-bedroom and three-bedroom people out of the house long ago.
The eldest lady endured her anger. He asked, "How's the matter of the tenant farmer?"
Cai's mother said: "After checking clearly, it is the tenant farmer of the Zhuangzi in the east of the city who is making trouble. Strange to say, the tenant farmers in the east of the city. I've always been timid and scared. Be disciplined and never make trouble. I don't know what happened today, but so many tenant farmers came at once. The slave maid inquired that the cause of this incident seemed to be that one of the tenant farmers of the Chengdong Farm went to the west of the city to visit relatives, and saw that the crystal rice over there was growing well, so he asked by the way. The tenant farmer felt that he had been deceived, so he hurried back to the farm in the east of the city to talk to the big guy. The big guy got angry, so he went to our house to make trouble. ”
The eldest lady frowned: "The people from Zhuangzi in the east of the city ran to the west of the city?"
Mother Cai raised her head: "Yes, the slave also wonders." ”
Since ancient times, the east of the city and the west of the city are quite incompatible, in the past two Zhuangzi people also fought over some trivial things, and then the well water does not interfere with the river water, and even the marriage match. Not only that, but the people of Chengdong Zhuangzi are arrogant and unfriendly to other Zhuangzi, such as the people of Chengnan and Chengbei Farms, so all along, the people of Chengdong Zhuangzi have been isolated as if they were alone. It is precisely because of the current situation that the people in the east of the city are like "frogs at the bottom of the well" that the doctor decided to work in the farm in the east of the city to make that large sum of money.
And now, the people in the east of the city are determined not to be frogs at the bottom of the well, and the conspiracy of the eldest lady has been exposed.
Therefore, the eldest lady especially hated the person who enlightened the tenant farmers in the east of the city, and caused herself to lose two thousand taels of silver. She longed to put that person to death, so that she could vent the evil anger in her heart.
The eldest lady asked again, "Do you know who the tenant farmer's relatives are, and what is their name?"
Cai's mother thought for a while and said, "I found it out, I heard that it was a tenant farmer in the west of the city, called Li Dayou." I hadn't heard of him being related to anyone in Chengdong before, and the rumor that came out these days was that the tenant farmer in Chengdong who was looking for him was his distant cousin. ”
The eldest lady sneered: "I don't believe these words that fool those mediocre people." That Li Dayou is quite suspicious, you go to find out, what he has been doing in recent years, and who he has been dealing with. ”
Cai's mother answered.
The eldest lady took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered something: "How long has the master not been back?"
Since that quarrel between husband and wife, the eldest lady spilled a cup of tea on the eldest master's body, and shouted for the eldest lord not to come back. The old man was angry, packed up some things, and moved to another courtyard. Now that I calculate, it's about half a month.
Since the eldest lady first mentioned this topic, Cai's mother took the opportunity to persuade: "Madam, Madame has not done a good enough job in this matter. Madame, think about it, although our uncle's official position is greater than that of my uncle, and my lord has to be obedient when he sees my uncle, but after all, my lord is your husband, isn't it? This man always has to save some face for him, and if he makes a lot of noise like you to drive him out, can he feel better in his heart? How should the people in the house look at him?"
The eldest lady was already extremely dissatisfied with her marriage, if it wasn't for some small situation, how could she have married this wretched woman? Maybe she would have become some kind of princess in a beautiful way, enjoying pure happiness.
Mother Cai saw the eldest lady's thoughts, and said busily: "Madam, we can't think about the past anymore, everything has to look at the present, and the present is the most important thing." ”
The eldest lady nodded.
Mother Cai looked at the eldest lady and said, "Why don't you go to the other courtyard and bring the master back?"
This time, the eldest lady didn't react very violently, nodded and said, "It's okay, you go to the other courtyard, I will write a letter, and you can also bring it over and hand it to the master." The old lady called me over and talked about it, saying that the husband and wife quarreled, and the quarrel was over, and I couldn't vomit for too long. That's it, let's take the master back. ”
Cai's mother was very pleased that the eldest lady had such a change, and when the eldest lady wrote a letter, she happily sent the letter to the other hospital.
At night, when the lamp was in charge, the eldest man really came back. After these days, the anger of the eldest lord has also disappeared, and he was slightly embarrassed after seeing the eldest lady, but after dinner, this embarrassment is gone, and he has returned to his previous appearance.
The two talked for a long time under the lamp, the eldest man looked peaceful, and when he spoke to the eldest lady, his tone was surprisingly gentle, and he also sent a valuable Danfeng Chaoyang's hanging pearl golden step to the eldest lady, and he was so happy that a room of maid rings looked like something. And the eldest lady was moved, she felt that the eldest lord seemed to have never been so good to herself, and she had to wonder if the eldest lord had done something sorry for her outside, so she deliberately flattered her.
The two played another game of chess, and the eldest lord let the eldest lady win, and then, turning off the lights, rested early.
The evening breeze was blowing, and Gu Zhirong, who had just said good night to the old lady, passed by the courtyard of the big house and suddenly stopped.
Mingyue was a little puzzled: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Gu Zhirong shook his head: "Strange, how can there be a very peculiar fragrance?
Mingyue knew that her young lady's nose was extremely sensitive, so she said with a smile: "This matter really can't be hidden from Miss, but it's not to be deliberately hidden, it's just that the slave forgot to say it for a while." Miss has been out all day today, and of course she doesn't know what's going on in this house. I heard that the eldest master came back, and he came back in the evening. ”
A strange smile appeared on Gu Zhirong's face: "It looks like there will be a while of restlessness in the future." (To be continued......)
