Chapter 568: Quarrel
The quarrel between the two grandmothers of the Xu family originated from a seemingly small matter.
There are only two young masters in the Xu family, and of course, Xu Zheng is the respecter. In addition to basically obeying his parents' orders in major matters, he will not be good at advocating, but also has the advantages of not being a woman, gentle and polite in words and deeds. There are also girls waiting around him, but he has never been smiling, so naturally there will be no time to laugh with girls.
In contrast, Xu Rong is different. He has been gentle and considerate since he was a child, and he is the best at coaxing people, and he can get along with anyone, especially for girls. Of course, he didn't make any scandals, he just spoke softly, and he wouldn't do anything with anyone, so he was more popular than his cousin Xu Zheng in the girl circle. Xu Zheng's girl has also been used to talking and laughing with him since she was a child, and there is no barrier.
Since Xu Rong made up his mind to study hard, take the imperial examination and test his fame, so as to increase his weight and marry a Qin woman as his wife, he is not as casual as before getting along with the girls. He claimed that it was because he had grown up, but in fact he was worried that the Qin family would find fault with him because of this. Although Qin Jinhua later decided on a family affair with the Tang family, he failed, but then Qin Jinrong took over, and he still had the hope of becoming the grandson-in-law of the Qin family, and he was not too lax during the period. It's just that the girls around him know what is on his mind and pay a lot of attention to it, and Xu Zheng's girls don't have much contact with him, so they are not so careful. Sometimes I forget my shape when I talk and laugh, and there are still times when I am a little out of line.
In normal times, no one will find fault with this level of playfulness, but if someone wants to pick a bone in the egg, are you afraid that this little outrage is not enough to be a reason?
Grandma Xu Er grabbed such a trivial matter, grabbed the girl, and went to Grandma Xu's house, pointing at the latter's nose and scolding: "Sister-in-law instructed the girl in the family to do something good in front of our brother Rong? Why did you send a girl to ruin our brother's reputation? Or do you knowingly make a mistake and can't see that our brother Rong is going to make a profit, and deliberately make a bad come? My aunt and grandmother have spoken, and I can only obey as a nephew and daughter-in-law, and I just treat the good things my sister-in-law did in the past as if it never happened, just for the sake of the Xu family's harmony. But my sister-in-law can't just rely on me to be honest and bully people?!ruining our Rong brother's reputation, what good will it do you Xu Zheng?!"
Grandma Xu only felt inexplicable and didn't know what was going on. Of course, she couldn't accept the accusation of the concubine, so she angrily asked what was the matter with the girl?
The girl was scolded by Xu Er's grandmother and fainted, crying breathlessly, but she made it clear, although she was ashamed, she felt that she was not very out of line, Xu Rong had gotten along well with them as a girl since she was a child, the same words, the same actions, she had done to Xu Rong in the past, who said she was wrong? At most, the grandmother in charge warned her in private not to be too frivolous. But she is a big girl waiting for Xu Zheng in the Xu family, her identity is not an ordinary girl, everyone wants her to give her three points, that is, she is frivolous, who will pick her? This time it must be because Xu Ergrandma still resents Grandma Xu's calculation of Xu Rong before, because of Xu's speech, she didn't dare to continue the attack, so she could only find another reason to find Grandma Xu's bad luck. The girl felt that she had been stricken by the fish in the pond, and when she had finished speaking, she began to cry again.
After Grandma Xu asked, she also thought that she had guessed the truth of the matter, that is, Grandma Xu deliberately provoked thorns. Then she was not in a hurry, and retorted with a sneer: "The second brother and sister should be careful when they speak, who sent the girl to harm Brother Rong'er?" If Brother Rong respects himself and doesn't laugh with the girls, he won't be bumped into by you, who is a mother-in-law." The second brother and sister are not good at teaching their son a lesson, so that he will pay more attention to the rules in the future, and come to find my bad luck. What my aunt said before, for the future and glory of the Xu family, you need to focus on the overall situation, and you can't forget all the two brothers and sisters because of selfishness, right?
Grandma Xu Er was so angry that she jumped to her feet: "It's really a thief shouting to catch a thief! Your girl in the long room was caught by me for being unruly, and you are embarrassed to say that I am planting a false accusation? Don't rely on Xu Zheng to be successful in the examination, and you will look down on our brother Rong'er! Who didn't start from the children's examination? Our brother Rong is just a young person and a step slower. It's Xu Zheng, there are more people in the world who can't get into the Jinshi even if they are old! Every day he blows like a Wenqu star descending to earth, beware of the wind flashing his tongue! When the time comes, he won't be able to hit it year after year, I'm afraid that Xu Zheng's face is not good-looking, and your long house has no face!"
Grandma Xu suddenly became furious: "Who are you cursing?!"
The girl who was the guide was thrown aside, and the two grandmothers of the Xu family quarreled because of the accumulated grievances. When Uncle Xu, Second Master Xu, Second Mrs. Xu, Second Master Xu, and Xu Xiu and Xu Lan arrived when they heard the news, they almost scuffled on the spot.
As for Xu Zheng, he is still immersed in hard study in the study, and he has always ignored this kind of parental shortness.
The two rooms of the Xu family finally separated the two concubines, each went back to their own yard, and each cried all over the house, all talking about their own grievances. The Xu family's room also decided that the second room of the Xu family was still for Grandma Xu's calculation to block Xu Rong's children's examination, and found an opportunity to vent it, and after appeasing Grandma Xu, she also complained to her a little: "If you hadn't been stupid at the beginning, the second room would not have held a grudge to this day." In fact, where is Brother Rong better than Brother Zheng'er? If you can be admitted to Xiucai, you will burn high incense in your last life. What are you stopping him for? He is not as good as Brother Zheng in his life, if he is really lucky and gets a fame in the examination, even if he is just a show talent, when Brother Zheng becomes an official in the future, he will be a younger brother by his side, and his identity will look better. When you want to marry someone, it sounds good to say it. β
Grandma Xu was very aggrieved: "If it weren't for the second brother and sister showing off to others all day long, saying that Brother Rong is talented in reading, extremely intelligent, and no worse than Brother Zheng'er, maybe this exam will go all the way up, and you can also be with Brother Zheng'er to Ying Chunyu." If you are lucky, you may be one step ahead of our brother Zheng to be admitted to the Jinshi as an official. He also said that our brother Zheng'er was unlucky, and his marriage was frequently unsmooth, and he finally got married, and he was about to participate in the examination, so he delayed the spring festival for filial piety, and obviously there was no rich life. Who can bear it? I can't see the appearance ......of my second brother and sister, so I'm confused for a while."
When Uncle Xu heard this, he was also quite annoyed: "This is too much! Brother Rong is not even a child, and the second brother and sister are so frivolous." If Brother Rong really passed the Juren and Jinshi exams, will they still have our long room in the eyes of the second room?!"
Xu Xiu listened to something wrong, and hurriedly persuaded his father: "The second aunt's temperament is a person, and my father and mother also know it, her knowledge is limited, and she is extremely protective of her shortcomings. Why should my father and mother be as knowledgeable as my second aunt? My aunt and grandmother advised us to be harmonious, not to quarrel over trivial matters, and to put the overall situation first. The Xu family is now in a difficult situation, and it is time for the family to be united. And today's events are just a trivial matter. No matter what the second aunt is for, if she wants to quarrel with her mother, the mother doesn't have to pay attention to it, just think that the eldest brother's girl made a mistake, or beat or scold or fine the monthly money, or even kick someone away. If you really quarrel with the second aunt, the mother may not be reasonable, and the aunt and grandmother will not be happy if they know it, and in the end, it will be our long house that suffers!"
Grandma Xu felt that her daughter's words were harsh: "Why don't I take care of it? When Xu Rong took the children's exam, I had already compensated the elders, and it should have passed a long time ago, so what else did you take it out and say? Today, it was your second aunt who deliberately wanted to pick on my thorns and pour dirty water on me, do you still want me to endure it? If you really dispose of your brother's girl, outsiders may really think that the people waiting around your brother are not serious, so what kind of good reputation does it have for your brother? I don't admit this mistake! I have to compare this with the second room! Obviously, Xu Rong acted frivolously, why should we blame our long room?! β
On the grounds that the children's family didn't care about the elders, she drove her daughter Xu Xiu back to the room. Xu Xiu felt aggrieved, ashamed and angry, so he could only turn around and leave. Xu Lan followed, still persuading her: "Sister, my mother is angry, why do you say a lot? You don't know, the second aunt talks too much on weekdays, and often provokes her mother, and even the second uncle and grandmother have to compete with their mother for the power, and set up a trap for their mother openly and secretly." My sister obviously knows it, so why do you have to help the second room talk? Doesn't this make my mother even more angry?"
Xu Xiu blushed and said, "When am I helping the second room to speak? I just don't want the Xu family to leave the two rooms! It's a difficult time for the family to get along with each other. The second room wants to stir up trouble, and our long room tolerates one or two, and what reason does the second room have to make trouble? After all, it is not Xu Rong who wants to take the imperial examination, and his mother is confused and wants bad things, so what if he takes a step back? Now that the trouble is boiling, won't it disturb my brother's study and exam preparation? !
Xu Lan whispered: "Where is my mother willing to admit this mistake? It was also the second aunt who said the excessive words first. In fact...... As early as when my grandfather lost his official position and the family's reputation was discredited, the two rooms had already accumulated grievances. The second room thinks that our long room has affected them. β
Xu Xiu sneered: "How can a family say that it is not involved? Since we can share wealth and nobility, we naturally have to share weal and bene." How many people still remember this truth now? For the sake of self-interest, who still remembers the overall situation?!" she sighed, "This is the situation at home, even if my brother successfully gets out of school and becomes a high school jinshi in one fell swoop, how much can he help? Becoming a jinshi is just the beginning of his career." β
She returned to her yard in a depressed mood, and Xu Lan lowered her head to follow. They didn't know that just across the wall from them, Mrs. Xu had just walked by with the girl. She went to find Grandma Xu. Xu Er's grandmother has finished her role, and it is time for her, an elder, to appear.
