Chapter 1363: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law (1)
Wear flowers and willows, face two stone mountains, like clouds, sandwiched between a sheep intestine path, both sides of the yellow flowers are full of ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The maid lotus pulled Zhong Minxiu and whispered: "Second grandma, this road is not easy to walk, let's go back!" I feel that there will be no good things going inside.
Zhong Minxiu said expressionlessly: "I have been married to Hanfu for so long, and I didn't know that there was such a place. Let's go and see what's inside?" said the Governor's Mansion was big, but it wasn't really big. It's just that Zhong Minxiu took over the chores after getting married, and he didn't have time to visit the garden all the time. If you don't come much, you won't know about many places.
Lotus nodded.
The master and servant walked slowly along the winding path, which led to a quiet courtyard at the end.
When I walked outside the courtyard, I heard a delicate voice: "Second master, if you let the second grandmother know, the slave and maid will die without a place to be buried." He said he was afraid, but there was no fear in his words.
Lotus's face changed instantly, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she covered her mouth under Zhong Minxiu's fierce gaze.
Brother Chang hugged Jiao Yunxiang and said, "Don't mention that tigress, it's a disappointment." "Zhong Minxiu has great means, and after marrying him, he will control him very tightly. It was fresh at first, but after the freshness passed, it became crooked. Brother Chang is used to stealing, where can he settle down. No, I hooked the second-class maid Qiu Yue in the Qiu family's courtyard again.
Then there was a sound in the room that made people blush, and the lotus face was as red as pig's liver. Seeing that Zhong Minxiu was about to rush in, Lotus dragged her desperately and said, "Second grandma, if you make trouble like this, everyone's face will not look good." Second grandmother, what will the old lady and the old man think when the time comes?"
Zhong Minxiu is also a smart person, and quickly understood the meaning of the lotus words. Standing still and looking into the room, there was a flash of resentment and disappointment in his eyes, and it took a while for him to calm down.
Zhong Minxiu said to the lotus, "Go back." ”
Lotus has been by Zhong Minxiu's side for so many years, how can she not know her temperament. Zhong Minxiu is not someone who will wronged himself: "Okay, let's go back first." "This is not the place to talk, and who knows if anyone is spying on them in the shadows.
I have to say that Lotus's worry was right, just as they left for a while, a little maid came out of the grass not far away.
The little maid muttered a few words, but she didn't go in when she got to the door, and the two grandmothers were also strange.
Back in the house, Lotus asked everyone else to go down, and said to Zhong Minxiu, "There was something strange about what happened just now. ”
"Well, I know. "It's not luck to be raised by the wife of the house as a concubine and taught by the heart and sincerity. She wanted to rush in just now because she was so angry that she lost her mind.
Lotus laughed and said, "Second grandmother, did you say that this matter was instigated by Madame?" Xiang was the most suspicious.
Zhong Minxiu snorted and said, "Who else do you think there is besides her?" Hmph, what a good strategy." If I make a fuss, not only will the second master hate me, but even the old lady and the old master will not want to see me. "That Qiuyue is the maid next to the old lady, and this incident will definitely lose the old lady's face. When the time comes, it will be strange that the old lady can treat her!
"Is it because the second grandmother is now in charge of the house, so she set up this poisonous plan, the purpose is to take back the housekeeping rights. "Not a question, but an affirmation.
Zhong Minxiu snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's not only that. She probably still wants me to fall out with the second master and his wife, and the Han family will be her son's in the future. Xiang's various manifestations of pregnancy made everyone think that she was pregnant with a daughter, but she gave birth to a son. Xiang treated this child like a baby bump, and didn't let Zhong get close to him on weekdays.
Lotus thought about Xiang's amiable appearance, but she didn't expect to be so vicious: "Second grandmother, what should I do now?"
After a pause, Lotus said, "Second grandmother, do you think you should find a way to disclose this news to Mother Li?" Mother Li knew, and the old lady must also know about it. With the old lady's temperament, she will definitely hate Xiang's.
Zhong Minxiu is not a person who swallows his anger, so he said with a sigh: "In addition, I have to let my father-in-law know about this." "As long as my father-in-law is disgusted, the Xiang family will really lose power in the Han Mansion. also took this opportunity to let Xiang know that she was not easy to mess with, otherwise it would be endless in the future.
After a pause, Zhong Minxiu said: "The old lady knows, and the old man should know soon." "Han Jianming cares about the Qiu clan very much, once the Qiu clan is angry, he will definitely know about it. So there is no need to let people tell Han Jianming about this.
Lotus hesitated and said: "Second grandma, this matter must be conclusive, otherwise Mrs. will bite back, and we will be very passive." ”
Zhong Minxiu sneered and said, "Naturally, the evidence must be conclusive." "If she doesn't have this ability, how can she get ahead in the Zhong family. You must know that the Zhong family has five concubines. She can marry into the Han family, and the four younger sisters below don't know how to be blushing!
Soon, Qiu Shi heard the news that Zhong Minxiu had fainted, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
By the time Choo arrived, Chung Min-so had already woken up. Seeing Qiu's, Zhong Minxiu hugged her and cried. Although I didn't say it, I looked at this appearance, and it was obvious that I had been wronged.
Qiu asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhong Minxiu cried enough, wiped her tears and said: "Let the old lady worry, it is the granddaughter-in-law who is not filial." ”
No matter how Qiu asked, Zhong Minxiu didn't say. No matter how simple the Qiu clan is, he also feels that something is not quite right.
Back in the upper courtyard, Qiu's said to Li's mother: "You go check and see what grievances Ah Xiu has suffered?" Zhong Minxiu is very good at coaxing people, since she got married, she **** coaxed Qiu's family, and the **** in the upper courtyard laughed constantly.
No matter how simple Qiu's personality is, the truth and falsehood are still clear. immediately treated her as a granddaughter, and as for Xiang, she naturally had to move back.
Li's mother had already asked people to inquire, but the meeting had not yet returned: "When I find out, I will return immediately." ”
An hour later, Li's mother knew the reason why Zhong Minxiu fainted. It's just that she was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to tell her about it
Seeing this, Li's mother and daughter-in-law Zhang asked puzzledly: "Mother, what are you hesitating about? Why don't you quickly tell the old lady about this?" She has long been dissatisfied with Xiang's family, but she has never been able to find an opportunity.
"Why didn't the second grandmother have a seizure at that time? She obviously wanted to borrow my hand to deal with Madame. "Zhong Minxiu wants to deal with Xiang, she doesn't want to be this helper.
Zhang didn't know why Mother Li had so many scruples: "Mother, Mrs. has bullied the door, do we still have to endure it?"
Seeing that Mother Li was still hesitating, Zhang said: "Mother, Madame's first housekeeper wanted to cut me." If it weren't for the old lady, my errand would have been gone. Mother, really wait for Xiang to gain a firm foothold, where is there still a place for us. Mother, it's better to take refuge in the second grandmother. "That's the matter of vision. Xiang was too eager to win, and as a result, the housekeeper offended many people. Zhong Minxiu is different, after she took care of the house, she began to envelop Zhang and others.
Mother Li shook her head and said, "The second grandmother is smart and skillful, but the second grandmother is ......."
Brother Chang doesn't do anything, and does all these dirty things. Although the back house is a woman's world, a woman's life honor and disgrace are actually tied to men. Brother Chang can't help himself in this mud, even if he is the eldest son, the master probably won't let him inherit the family business.
Zhang has heard Li's mother say this several times. Hearing this, Zhang lowered his voice and said, "Mother, the second master may not be useful, but there is also the fourth master!"
Mother Li glanced at Zhang's in surprise, but quickly shook her head and smiled bitterly: "The fourth master is not recorded in the name of the first lady. "The fourth master is a concubine, where does this concubine have a concubine to inherit the family business to get the name right.
"Mother, it's true that the fourth master is a concubine, but he is the companion of the prince, and his wife is strong. So it's too early to say who the future heir will be. Zhang also pondered about this for a long time, and even discussed the feasibility of this matter with her husband, and came to the conclusion that the fourth master is also likely to inherit the family business.
Mother Li's heart sank, and others didn't know that she didn't know. She heard the eldest master sigh in front of the old lady more than once that the fourth master was not the eldest son, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry, so it was really impossible to say who the future head of the Han family was.
Thinking of this, Mother Li nodded and said, "I will truthfully return this matter to the old lady." "She doesn't favor anyone, she just tells the truth.
After saying this, Mother Li looked at Zhang and said, "As long as you are a good errand and with me, your errand will not be lost." We'll plan the rest slowly. "If it was the fourth master, she would also consider taking sides. Uncle's words, forget it. She didn't want to tie her family's future to a person who would be greedy for fishing.
The incident that Pu Ye made made Zhang feel that the Xiang family couldn't tolerate them old people. But this does not mean that she wants to take refuge in the Zhong family: "Mother, I know." "As long as the old lady is alive, neither the lady nor the second grandmother can remove her. Provided, of course, that they don't have the handle to fall.
Zhang's is in charge of such an oily and watery errand as the kitchen, and it is easy to reap the benefits. But because of Li's mother's ear teaching, she didn't dare to go too far. Even if it is investigated, this amount is within the acceptable range of Qiu and Han Jianming.
made a decision, and Mother Li stopped dragging her feet and turned her head to tell Qiu's about it.
After speaking, Mother Li lowered her voice and said, "Old lady, the mother-in-law in the garden said that not long after the second grandmother left, the little girl Ping'er in the lady's yard also walked out of it. ”
Qiu's face was a little ugly: "This matter is also involved?" Because the matter of the Xuan sisters made Qiu's heart have a pimple, even if Xiang gave birth to a son, she still didn't like Xiang.
Mother Li's attitude was still quite pertinent, and said: "This old slave is not clear. In fact, it is precisely because of her impartial attitude that she can stay in front of the old lady all the time. If he is a person who likes to fan the flames, how can Han Jianming tolerate it.
"This one, I really misjudged her. When he said this, the Buddhist bead in Qiu's hand turned much faster than usual.
People's thoughts are so strange, Han Jianming has been dragging out not to remarry, which makes the Qiu family very anxious. At that time, not to mention the Xiang family, a girl from a declining official family, she would not dislike a civilian woman. But now, she regrets it.
Li's mother said: "Old lady, this matter should be handed over to the master!" Qiu's heart softened, and when Xiang knelt and cried in front of her with the child in his arms, the matter would be over, so it was best to leave it to the master to deal with.
As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Zhong Minxiu came over to say goodbye. Qiu Shi held her hand and said, "You kid, what are you doing here when you're not feeling well?" ”
As soon as the Xiang family married into the Han family, they would come over sooner or later to ask for peace, but the Qiu family did not have a hard and fast rule, and the Xiang family only dried the net for three days and fished for two days. After giving birth to a child, I will only come to the upper house on the first and fifteenth days of junior high school. And Zhong Minxiu is not feeling well, and he has never stopped saying goodbye in the morning and evening.
Zhong Minxiu said with a smile: "I'll wait for my grandmother to finish eating and then go back." "Although it was hard, the effect was very significant, and the old lady loved her very much. This is something that Xiang can't compare.
Qiu's is the most kind-hearted, how can he let Zhong Minxiu serve her with illness, and forcefully let her go back.
After Zhong Minxiu left, Qiu said to Li's mother: "You go and talk to the eldest master, and ask him to come and eat with me at noon." During this time, he was so busy that he didn't have time to drink water, and he didn't have time to go back to the backyard.
Mother Li nodded.
Han Jianming thought that the Qiu clan missed him, got the news, and put down the matter at hand at noon and went back to the backyard.
The mother and son had lunch, and Qiu told him about yesterday. After finishing speaking, Qiu Shi said sadly: "Ah Chang, this kid is really getting more and more disagreeable. Ah Xiu is such a good daughter-in-law, he even came nonsense. "I used to think that Brother Chang didn't marry a daughter-in-law, so he was more ambitious and would mess with the maid, but Qiu thought that when he married his daughter-in-law, he would be relieved. Unexpectedly, now it has become even worse, and even the maid next to her has hooked up.
Han Jianming's face was extremely ugly: "Mother, don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it." ”
Qiu didn't think about it, for fear that the more he managed, the worse it would be. However, what should be said is still to say: "Ming'er, I will leave the affairs to Ah Xiu in charge after I see it!"
Xiang's housekeeper had a lot of trouble before, but it was Ah Xiu's housekeeper who was in harmony inside and out. However, Han Jianming did not immediately express his position: "Wait for the results of this incident to come out." He was skeptical about Qiu's ability, fearing that there was something else going on in this matter. If this is the case, let the daughter-in-law take care of the house, and the face of the Xiang family will be a little unpleasant.
Mother Li is glad that she is acting safely, and the eldest master is still partial to Xiang's in the end.
Qiu Shi frowned, but she didn't want to conflict with her son over this matter, so she nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”
Han Jianming was busy, and after saying a few words with Qiu, he went back to the front yard.
Qiu Shi stood in the courtyard and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Xiang has not brought a child here for several days. ”
Because the weather was too hot, Xiang was afraid of the sun, so he only hugged him in the morning every day. But in the past two days, the child was not very comfortable, so he did not report it.
Li's mother knew the reason, but she didn't say it. Originally, the Xiang family should have sent someone to inform the old lady about these things, but unfortunately she didn't. It would be good if she didn't take eye medicine in front of Qiu, and how could she help her speak.
Qiu's face was a little ugly: "It's just that Ming'er said that let the child be on my side, and she was so prepared." In fact, she is so old, how can she have so much energy to take care of the children. But he didn't expect that Xiang was afraid that she would snatch the child, so he didn't bring the child over to show her.
Mother Li didn't say good things for Xiang: "Old lady, don't think so much, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." You, now enjoy the blessings. ”
Qiu didn't speak.
