49. Repentance
"Mother has something, but by command. ”
This sounded relatively pleasant, and Old Madam Chu finally pulled the corners of her mouth with some satisfaction.
"You and the eldest will go to the door tomorrow to return the Yang family's relatives, and do enough etiquette, don't tell the truth. ”
She asked her own eldest girl to take a small box and took out a Geng post from it: "The two families only changed the Geng sticker, and few families knew, originally said that they would wait until Hongyu High School to get married, which can be regarded as double happiness, but now it is also a ready-made reason." ”
Mrs. Chu was even more unhappy when she heard this, and now the whole family avoided talking about her son's failure, and he didn't want to hear it, after all, three years ago, when his son was fifteen years old, his husband said that he was a little young, and he would end up studying for another three years, but now he still failed after three years of study, and he couldn't get off the stage just because of his face.
"Everything has to be seen in a good place, Hongyu fell off the list this year, just avoiding his marriage with the Yang family. After three years of the imperial examination, he can continue to take the examination, but if he marries a daughter-in-law who does not go well, he will still be able to divorce him? I am afraid that when the time comes, the boss's superiors will be the first to refuse, so do you want us Hongyu to divorce his wife and marry again? It is not good to listen to the reputation alone. ”
Mrs. Chu knew that what her mother-in-law said was quite reasonable, but it didn't sound like it, and it was the same as listening to her son's failure to avoid this marriage.
"That's what Mother said. ”
The uncle of the Chu family sat there a little wandering in the world, and he was still thinking about the topic of the imperial examination this time, as if he remembered what his brother-in-law had said in a trance.
"Xianggong ......"
"Xianggong ......"
Mrs. Chu couldn't help but aggravate her voice, and the uncle of the Chu family came back to her senses: "Well, what's the matter?"
"Mother asked you what time is convenient, let's go to Yang's house to visit together. ”
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but complain a little and said, "In front of your mother, what do you want?"
The uncle of the Chu family smiled bitterly: "I seem to have done something wrong, Hongyu is probably my fault for falling off the list this time." ”
Mrs. Chu, when you heard this sentence, the whole person was as excited as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and she stood up and said, "What did you say?"
Even Old Madam Chu looked at him with a frown.
One is his mother, the other is his wife, and there is nothing to hide, the uncle of the Chu family said the things he thought of as they were.
"This year's spring topic, my brother-in-law once pressed, and carefully analyzed with me, when he was still sick when I went to see him, he mentioned this to me and asked me to talk to Hongyu, but I didn't take it to heart at the time. ”
Mrs. Chu was so angry: "My brother-in-law was a person who explored flowers in high school back then, how could I not listen to what he said, my brother-in-law has already said that you should tell Hongyu, why didn't you tell Hongyu? It's just a matter of a few words." ”
Old Madam Chu also thought so in her heart, but the words had already been said by her daughter-in-law, and her eyes also fell on her son.
The uncle of the Chu family tugged at the corners of his mouth: "My brother-in-law was almost terminally ill at that time, and he had long been out of contact with Qiu Tengsheng's matter, I only thought he was concerned about Hongyu at that time, and by the way, I didn't take it to heart, and when I came back, I went to visit my former teachers, and asked them to guide Hongyu's article, and completely threw away what my brother-in-law said." ”
"You...... How do you tell me to say hello, such an important matter, you have to mention it to Hongyu, you said that he has a score in his heart, and he won't be blind when he is in the examination room, you ......"
Mrs. Chu was really angry, her heart, liver and lungs hurt, but Old Mrs. Chu suddenly cried all of a sudden.
Mrs. Chu and Uncle Chu were baffled by their mother's crying, and when the two of them came to their senses, they hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Hongyu has failed this year, so let's take the exam again in three years, when he has more experience, he will learn more knowledge, and his ranking will be higher and higher." ”
Old Madam Chu really cried for a long time, shed a few tears, she said a little choked: "I am crying for your sister's hard life, I finally lived so many years of peace of mind, seeing that Jinyu grew up, she really didn't expect a day of happiness, so she left." ”
"And my uncle, he is young and talented, and he is also good as an official, but he has not survived illness for three years, if he is alive, how can he let us Hongyu fall off the list, and it is estimated that he will say the exam questions he pressed early. ”
This sentence is actually what people are most concerned about: "Who said it wasn't, and how did the uncle take what his uncle said to heart at all, and his uncle was their Tanhua of that session." ”
Uncle Chu was just barely stepping into the last few rankings in the imperial examination, especially with his brother-in-law Zhuyu in front, which made him even more bleak, so he has always been lukewarm to his brother-in-law, if it weren't for what he remembered today, he probably wouldn't have said it.
Even if Mrs. Chu complained that her father-in-law complained badly, she also knew that it was too late to say anything, and she and her mother-in-law seemed to have reached a great consensus on this matter.
Old Madam Chu's mind turned faster than anyone else, and she even had a vague idea.
"After the marriage contract with the Yang family is dissolved, take Jinyu back, she is a girl's family, living in Zhuangzi, it is really not safe, I heard that a few days ago I was going to arrest that Jiangyang thief, and I searched her room. ”
Mrs. Chu hesitated a little: "But ......"
"But what? Do you see that I'm old now, and you don't even have to ask who I take back to live?"
Mrs. Chu hurriedly said with sincere fear: "How come?"
"Since this is the case, I quickly broke off the marriage of the Yang family, and when I thought that one day I would find such a daughter-in-law for Hongyu, I would feel ashamed of the ancestors of the Chu family!"
"Mother, it's me who is not good ......," the Chu family uncle said guiltily.
"How can you be blamed for the matter? After all, it is your superior, and you are still working under him, if he says something, what can you do? It's not good to offend your superior. ”
"Mother rest assured, I will solve this matter and never let the daughter of the Yang family enter the door. ”
"Well, you go, I went to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures, and I just hope that one day in the future, your sister and brother-in-law will have a good birth in the next life. ”
"There is a mother who eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, presumably sincerity is the easiest to move the Buddha, and after a few daughters-in-law and go to the White Horse Temple to add some sesame oil money. ”
For a while, the mother and son were filial piety, and they were happy, as if none of the previous things had happened.
