Chapter 336: Wind Direction
"It can't be."
When General Shao's wife was in a dilemma, Shao Li strode forward, and as soon as he came back, there was a maid to report, saying that Mrs. Shao had come for a while, and concluded that the intention was not good, so she naturally rushed over immediately, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard what Mrs. Shao said, and immediately refused.
"Second uncle, this is also an expedient measure." Mrs. Shao secretly complained, she inquired about Shao Li's absence at home, thinking that General Shao's wife had always been submissive, so she came to the door to beg, and General Shao's wife and wife said a word next to General Shao's pillow, which was stronger than her sister-in-law saying ten words, so she came to the door.
Shao Li was very strict: "This is equivalent to cheating, I will not do it, no matter what your plans are, sister-in-law, it is impossible for us husband and wife to lie." β
Mrs. Shao couldn't hold back her tears all of a sudden, and cried: "Second uncle, I'm also for Pin'er, you are now a general, and the reputation of the general's niece is always better than that of the daughter of the ordinary people." β
"Confused, no one will only value a name and not the reality, the other party's request today is a niece who has a close relationship with the general, and after the niece marries tomorrow, it is difficult to guarantee that the general will not do anything for his niece and son-in-law, what if he can't do it then? Besides, isn't Pin'er my niece after the family is separated? Will I help if I can? The other party is clearly making things difficult, so don't do such a family affair. Shao Li's tone became more and more severe, he believed that Mrs. Shao would not think of such a thing, but he was short-sighted and thought that he could get benefits by cheating and marrying his daughter, even if something went wrong, it was not the two of them to clean up the mess, he just nodded his head, and he would be annoyed in the future.
He was able to become a general at a young age, relying on clear rewards and punishments without personal feelings, fighting wars is no better than anything else, and civil officials are incompetent, so they can hire a capable master. The judgment of the judge in the case of the death of the person will also go through layers of review, and the mistake can be corrected for a period of time, and the military general misjudged and used the wrong person, sacrificing hundreds of soldiers and even his own lives, and must not know that it is wrong, but still commit it.
His father asked him to bear all the sin of besieging the future Yue family, which was wrong in itself, if he said it at that time, he would have borne it together. The end result may still be the same. But the eldest brother will not complain and think that it is all his fault, and his father will not be so guilty. felt sorry for the two brothers, and acted even more remotely when he felt guilty, so that the eldest brother could not wake up.
Shao Li doesn't think he owes his eldest brother anything, not to mention that his father was demoted at the beginning. Even if it was all because of him, he had already recovered what the family had lost because of him. The eldest brother can't say that he was killed by the bandits, this is the duty of a soldier, this kind of accident can't be counted on his head, and the eldest brother behind him collapsed. Not listening to the dissuasion and ruining the family's wealth is caused by the eldest brother himself, and he kept giving money and things before just for the sake of his father.
Mrs. Shao can just cry in front of the same General Shao's wife, and Shao Li, who is really bloody in the face of the brutal battlefield, doesn't dare to say a word at all.
Shao Li also disdains to talk too much to a woman. only said: "Sister-in-law, go back first." Uncle and sister-in-law don't talk on the phone, if there is anything to ask the eldest brother to come to me in person, don't talk to your brother and sister, she basically doesn't participate in the affairs of the clan, don't embarrass her, and we won't talk about the affairs of the clan between our husband and wife. β
Mrs. Shao didn't dare to say anything at all, so she could only wipe her tears and go out first.
Shao Li sat down at this time, and then under the service of his wife, wiped his face with a wet towel, then changed into comfortable cotton clothes, and drank a sip of hot tea made by General Shao's wife.
Mrs. Shao no longer mentioned the unhappiness caused by Mrs. Shao, only to see that Shao Li didn't want to speak, so she didn't make a sound, just took the needle and thread and worked on the side, silently accompanied by the side, after Shao Li rested enough, she asked the nurse to bring the child over and play with the child's father for a while, and then the whole family ate together, and the family was happy.
Shao Li is very satisfied with this kind of life, since he was a child, what he yearns for is such a life, quiet and peaceful, this is a home, and the memory of the childhood home is completely different life, in order to maintain this life, he also made the best efforts, and did not let his wife bear unnecessary trouble, this is what he observed when he lived in the civilian area at the border, most of the young men want to marry a beautiful and gentle wife, most of the young girls are beautiful or not, but most of them are gentle and shy, But after getting married, she quickly became a shrew, what is the reason for this?
After observation, he came to the conclusion that even if the girls were not held in the palm of their hands by their parents when they were not out of the cabinet, they would not encounter too many problems that they needed to solve by themselves, so they did not need a pungent personality and a sharp mouth that chattered over trivial matters, and after getting married, they needed to face many problems, the husband was not successful, the mother-in-law was difficult, the concubine was difficult to get along with, the weaker ones had to weep all day long, and the stronger ones would fight for reason, just like the trained recruits in the barracks. No matter how soft and shy the personality is, it will be honed to be strong when it encounters a strict boss, and this is because the environment requires it.
If he wants a good wife who is gentle and virtuous, he must bear more for his wife, so that she does not have to be subjected to all kinds of pressure and must arm herself with a strong and pungent temperament.
He also did it, even if he couldn't solve the problem completely, he wouldn't let his wife face it alone and figure it out alone, but shared the responsibility and worked together to maintain his small family.
After eating, the nurse took the children out late, and Shao Li said to his wife: "I'm afraid that the thoughts of the eldest brother and sister-in-law won't stop like that, don't worry, don't be afraid that they will complain about you, even if your father is looking for you, you can just push it on me." β
General Shao's wife said softly: "Yes, it's just that the general is busy with official business, and he has to deal with these troubles when he goes home, will he be very tired?" β
"It's not a trivial matter of a few taels of silver and a few loads of rice, they are here for me, and sooner or later it will fall on me, and some things will be solved sooner or later, and there will be less trouble." Shao Li said indifferently, thought about it and said, "If not, you will take the child to Zhuangzi outside the city for a few days?" β
General Shao's wife smiled softly, "How can this be done?" Not to mention that there are still places at home that need to be taken care of by me, let's just say that the weather is getting colder and colder, let the children go to Zhuangzi, I'm afraid they won't adapt to it, Xianggong, you don't have to worry about me, I really don't have anything, I just feel that Pin'er This child has been wronged, when the eldest brother and sister-in-law can figure it out. β
"If they could figure it out, they would have figured it out a long time ago, and they were just afraid that they wouldn't hit the south wall and not look back." Shao Li sneered, his expression was a little contemptuous, "Don't pay attention to them, they won't be able to make any trouble now anyway." β
"By the way, the house received another post, inviting our husband and wife to a banquet." General Shao's wife took the topic away and took out a post.
Shao Li glanced at it, the tea banquet in Wenjun Wangfu was not a big deal, and said: "I'll go then, you can stay at home and watch the children." β
"Yes." General Shao's wife nodded softly.
β¦β¦
The rumors in the city are getting stronger and stronger, and there are two versions of the fall injury of the county lord of Xiuwen, one is that Miss Hu became jealous and hateful, so she pushed the county lord of Xiuwen down the hill, and the other said that the county lord of Xiuwen rolled down the slope by himself in order to escape from his relatives, and then pushed it on Miss Hu's head in order to escape responsibility.
At the beginning, the latter version was more credible, after all, it was too coincidental, saying that Miss Hu was jealous and hated because of weak evidence, one of the two was born in a noble family, and the other was born in a scholarly family, they are not the same type at all, they don't have much communication, and they haven't heard of any grudges in Su Ri, unless Miss Hu is crazy, she will do such evil deeds in public, so many people watched and were seen at that time, Miss Hu's life is over, who would be so stupid?
And the motives of the county lord of Xiuwen who fell down are obviously more convincing to everyone, the Hu family is not a soft persimmon, the most advantageous thing for civil officials is a mouth, the Hu family has countless in-laws, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials.
The mother and daughter of the Hu family were disturbed by the rumors, and they both fell ill, and when they saw that public opinion was about to fall on one side, a powerful news came out, Miss Hu Qi fainted at the Liu family banquet because of a miscarriage, and the upbringing of the Hu family girl was very problematic.
At the beginning, most people thought that it was just someone who took the opportunity to muddy the waters, maybe it was Ruicheng Wangfu who deliberately released it to slander others in order to clear the suspicion of his own girl, after all, Miss Hu Qi is dead, and there is no proof of the so-called death, some people showed disgust at this rumor at first glance, but under the detailed inquiry of some good people, the wind direction slowly reversed.
Miss Hu Qi had an accident in the Liu family, although there were not as many onlookers as the county lord of Xiuwen, but there were still a few, especially the slippery tire was too noisy, and it was too much to hide from others, and it couldn't be hidden from the people of the Liu family. Take a step back, if Miss Hu Qi is dizzy like this, wouldn't it be even more suspicious for the Hu family to stop the Liu family from inviting a doctor?
The Hu family has a relationship with the Liu family, but some people have a deeper relationship with the Liu family, these days Mrs. Hu has been looking for someone to say goodbye to Miss Hu, some families are still a little moved, and the side branch of the Hu family also has a few daughters who are of marriageable age, and some families are also interested.
Now the Liu family has encountered a problem, to say that there is no such thing, obviously telling a lie, the consequences are obvious, this matter is in an uproar, it is estimated that it can't be hidden, this will they have to promise people that there is no such thing, when the truth is revealed, how will their Liu family deal with themselves? In view of the dealings between the two families, what should anyone do if anyone suspects that the Liu family is involved in such an ugly matter? (To be continued)
