Chapter 14: The Big Trouble
Xia Chunchao listened to the doctor's words, and roughly understood in his heart, but it was difficult to say it, so he nodded and said, "I'm tired of the doctor going this way." After that, he ordered Bao'er to go to the house and weigh two taels of silver, pay for the consultation and medicine, and send it out.
The Liu family also heard the wind earlier, and listened to Dr. Zhao's words, lest people say that she was angry with the old lady, so she hurriedly said: "I said early in the morning that the old lady is an old person, and her body is weak, so she can't take supplements. You only care about selling your good, and you don't care if the old lady can stand it or not. Now it's good, but the old lady is sick. Fortunately, it is not a big deal, otherwise what would happen? After speaking, he sighed and said, "I don't know how the master will explain when he comes back." ”
Xia Chunchao heard her so upside down black and white, and was about to speak. Sister Lu Hong on the side was already annoyed when she heard it, and opened her mouth and said: "Mrs. This is ridiculous, yesterday the old lady said that fish maw stew is good for the body, and I drank a whole bowl, and I didn't see Mrs. persuasion." Why did you listen to this doctor say a few words casually today, and just say such a thing? I have heard that the wife ran to the old lady's courtyard early this morning to make trouble, and beat the girl of Baohe so that she could not see anyone. The doctor also said that the old lady was angry and had this disease. My wife doesn't know how to check herself, so why do she only care about complaining about her sister-in-law? ”
Liu's unexpectedly being robbed by his daughter, he was angry in his heart, and said secretly: What happened to this little hoof lately? But he couldn't tell the difference between inside and outside, and turned his elbows outward. I really don't know what kind of decoction her sister-in-law poured her, she doesn't know what to do! The thought in her heart turned, and her mouth couldn't help but slow down a little. I only heard Xia Chunchao say: "The old lady is sick here, and many of us are crowded here to talk, won't it disturb the old lady's recuperation?" The lady and the girl should go back to the room first, and I'll watch here. If there is anything, naturally send someone to inform the two. ”
Liu was impatient, and when he heard Xia Chunchao say this, he said, "It's okay, so that we don't disturb the old lady's purity here." With that, he dragged Sister Lu Hong. Sister Lu Hong didn't want to go, so she asked Liu to grab her arm and had to leave with her mother.
When this person went out, Xia Chunchao instructed: "It is inconvenient for the old lady to be on the kang, and a few daughters-in-law of the family will send the old lady to the bed in the inner room." Bao'er agreed, and hurriedly went out to call someone. The daughter-in-law of the family who was waiting to serve under the porch immediately came out to respond, and went in to make the spring stool move Lu Jiashi into the back room.
Xia Chunchao saw that the settlement was finished, so he walked to the bed and asked a few words in a low voice. Lu Jiashi fell asleep with his face flushed and didn't say a word. Xia Chunchao had no choice but to come out again, call Baolian to the bright room, and inquire carefully. Bao Lian told the story of how the Liu family came to the courtyard in the morning, how she beat and scolded Bao He, and how she collided with Lu Jia's family, and said: "Grandma, my wife is inevitably too unorthodox today. Which family's wife beat and scolded her subordinates with her own hands? It doesn't matter if the old lady can hear it or not. The old lady asked her to wait in this house, but she couldn't wait, and she didn't dare to learn what she said to her grandmother. As soon as she walked on her front foot, the old lady's foot fell ill. ”
When Xia Chunchao heard these words, his heart was as bright as a mirror, and he only said: "Since the old lady is angry, she has this illness, so she naturally has to recuperate." You serve carefully, and don't let irrelevant people run into the old lady. When the master comes to the house later, you just tell the truth. Baolian agreed, and saw that there was no one near her, so she said in a low voice: "Mrs. has been thinking about giving Miss Biao to the young master as a concubine recently, and she has already moved the old lady." It's just that grandma's words this morning made the old lady change her mind. Grandma should be careful, the old lady's meaning is also very lively. ”
Xia Chunchao said when he heard this, smiled slightly, and said, "Good girl, I know everything." When Baolian saw this, she was silent, blessed her body, and went inside to serve without mentioning it.
Zhu'er passed on Xia Chunchao's instructions, walked here to talk back and forth, and said, "I have sent Fugui to ride a horse to the yamen to report to the master." Xia Chunchao nodded slightly, and said: "Baohe has eaten some grievances today, you should be good with her on weekdays, go and solve it with her." When Zhu'er heard this, she hurriedly went to look for treasure lotus.
Bao'er stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Grandma, what's wrong with the old lady's illness today?" Xia Chunchao shook his head lightly and said with a light smile: "Don't talk about it." Bao'er was silent. When Xia Chunchao sat outside for a while, Baolian came out to pour water, and said when she saw this: "Grandma might as well go back and rest, the old lady has fallen asleep and has nothing else to do." Xia Chunchao smiled: "That's it, I'm afraid that the master will come home soon." I'm still here, waiting for the old man to ask. Pauline laughed when she heard the sound.
Liu took his daughter out and strode to the upper room.
Before entering the door, Sister Lu Hong shouted strangely: "Mother, what are you doing, the hands and feet of the person pulling the person are not touching the ground, and the arms are about to be torn off." Liu snorted in his nose and said, "It's good to tear it off, I don't know what to do!" So saying, he went with her into the inner room. Changchun came to the tea, and the mother and daughter sat down.
Liu said: "I am your biological mother, why are you so ugly with me?" I was pregnant in October, and with a lot of hard work, it was easy to raise you and your brother to such a big age. The suffering over the years is invisible, and tears flow in the stomach night and night! Who would have thought that now, when your wings are stiff, you will not take me as a mother in your eyes. One or two, but put an outsider in his heart. When your brother was at home, he acted to protect his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't say a word. Now that your brother has gone out to fight, it is your turn to escort you. I don't know, what are the good things about this summer and spring dynasty? You're all obsessed! ”
Sister Lu Hong heard these words, and felt a little troubled in her heart, and said: "Mother's words are really ridiculous, who is an outsider?" My sister-in-law is our family's three media and six certificates, and she is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family who is fair and fair! How did he become an outsider when he got into his mother's mouth? If you say so, then the mother is also an outsider? What's more, my sister-in-law has been in our house for the past few years, respecting her in-laws, my sister-in-law, and my brother has been away from home for the past few years. When relatives and friends of the He clan mention it, who doesn't say that the sister-in-law is virtuous and rare? That's all right, thinking about what the situation was like at home when my sister-in-law didn't come. The old lady and her mother have bought clothes and faces over the years, and the old man is eating people and coaxing outside, buying some fake antiques, these accounts are recorded in the shop, has my sister-in-law said a word? It's all on the side, it's just that my brother is looking for that shortage, and the old man needs money to use some favors on the scene, and asked my sister-in-law if I want it, has my sister-in-law ever said a word? It is clear that my sister-in-law is living in our family wholeheartedly, and my mother wants to say these three things, which is really impossible to say. ”
When Liu Shi heard this, he became anxious, and immediately reprimanded: "I taught you a lesson, but you sent me a lot." Who am I doing this for, not for the karma of you two! The size of this family, the old lady and your sister-in-law are the same nostrils, and the lord is a god who doesn't care about these miscellaneous things. I don't hold up my own house anymore, and I don't know how to eat people and bury them alive. Speaking of which, Xueyan is your cousin, and she is closer to you. She came in to be your sister-in-law, isn't she better than Xia Chunchao? You're lard, so help her! ”
The mother and daughter were talking here, and someone outside said back and forth: "The master is back, and he is in the old lady's room, please ask the wife to come and talk." When Liu heard this, he was puzzled and asked, "Why didn't the master come to the house first?" Fell into the old lady's yard. Sister Lu Hong sighed: "Why is my wife so confused! The old lady is sick, and the old man must have gotten the news and Teter's rushed back. Why don't you go to see the old lady first, but come to see the lady first? As he spoke, he hurriedly urged Changchun and the Liu family to pack up and go over there.
However, it was said that Lu Huan was on an errand in the Yamen, and suddenly heard a report from his family that the old lady was sick, so he hurriedly took leave from his boss and rode home with his family.
Back home, Lu Huancheng went straight to the backyard. When I entered the hall, I saw my daughter-in-law Xia sitting in the hall.
Xia Chunchao saw his father-in-law come in, and hurriedly got up to say hello. Lu Huancheng rarely spoke to his daughter-in-law, and at this time he didn't say much, only asked, "How is the old lady?" When I went out in the morning, I was fine, but I suddenly got sick. As he spoke, he strode inside, and Xia Chunchao also bowed his head.
Lu Huancheng walked into the inner room, walked to the bedside, and saw the old mother lying on the bed, her eyes closed, and she whispered a few times again and again, Lu Jiashi just shouldn't. Lu Huancheng became more and more impatient, turned his head and saw his daughter-in-law standing on the side, so he asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”
Xia Chunchao said: "I'm afraid of arguing with the old lady when I talk here, but the old man still takes a step to speak." ”
At that moment, Lu Huancheng had to come out with her again. Walking to the outer hall, Xia Chunchao stood on his feet, and then chose the doctor's words: "The doctor said that the old lady was angry and angry, and she was so sick that she had this disease. Fortunately, it's not powerful, and it will be safe after a while. "I don't mention the maw at all.
Lu Huancheng frowned and said, "Heavy gas? But why? Xia Chunchao listened to the question, and bowed his head and said nothing. Lu Huancheng asked again and again, and she said: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare to accuse the elders, Baolian in the old lady's room knows clearly, and the old man can't help but send her to ask." ”
As soon as these words fell, a thunderous sound sounded outside: "What else don't dare?!" I don't believe it, I can't even teach a girl a lesson now! With a bang, Liu came in from outside with a menacing attitude.
Lu Huancheng had listened to his daughter-in-law's words before, and now that he saw his wife's situation, he knew that today's events would have nothing to do with her. Immediately, he frowned, and he was about to ask. How did you know that Liu didn't wait for him to ask, so he looked at him and said, "Master doesn't have to ask anyone, I'll just say it all." After that, he told how Xia Chunchao was unwilling to take a concubine, how he came to Lu Jia's family to discuss, and how he was hit by Baohe with oil and sauce. He pointed to Xia Chunchao and said, "If it weren't for the fact that this hoof was not virtuous, how could I come to find the old lady?" Why do you quarrel with the little girl? What is such an unvirtuous daughter-in-law doing at home? It's better to take a break early, and marry Brother Yong again! ”。
