Chapter 16: A Visitation from a Relative

Liu's didn't follow Lu Huancheng's words, and talked about fish maw, only saying that Lu Jia's family, who was harmed by the Xia Chun dynasty, was bedridden.

Lu Huancheng couldn't listen to it, so he only bit her ear and said, "You can be patient, how much benefit will you get!" After grinding for half a day, Liu's anger gradually subsided, and after hearing him say those good things, he had no choice but to change his mind and scolded with a smile: "I don't know, you Lu family people have such ghost eyes!" Anyway, I'll spare this hoof this time. I don't have the strength to tear up. It's just that she treats me disrespectfully, which is really hateful. If I don't teach a lesson, I can't calm down. Lu Huancheng said: "I advise you to save some effort, it's a lot." After saying that, I persuaded her again. The couple laughed in a low voice for a while, and then the Liu family gave up.

Since then, Lu Jia's has been bedridden, and the Liu family has also closed the door because of Lu Huancheng's words. Lu Huancheng has to go to the yamen every day to go on errands, and the huge Lu family is a little lonely.

Although Lu Huancheng grounded the Liu family, Xia Chunchao did not dare to neglect the morning and dusk provinces, and visited Lu Jia's family every day, so he came to the upper room to say hello. Although Lu Huancheng did not allow the Liu family to go out, he did not let anyone come. But the Liu clan deliberately took the class, only saying that the master had something to say, and blocked Xia Chunchao from the door. Even Lu Jia's side was repeatedly seen on the grounds that he was unwell and unfit to see people. Xia Chunchao didn't care about it, and was still respectful every day.

On this day, on the first day of the fourth month, the Lu family issued a monthly certificate.

The little girl in the upper room, Honeysuckle, received the silver, and when she walked back to the room, she saw Changchun wearing a half-worn emerald green placket armor, sitting on the edge of the kang and threading needles. Honeysuckle walked to the kang and smiled at her, "Sister, I put the monthly silver today." Because my mother was sick a few days ago, my grandmother found out and gave me a few more money, and you counted it for me. When Changchun heard this, he put down the needle and thread, took the silver and counted it for her one by one, wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it back to her, and asked, "How do you go out?" My wife is not angry, but I am afraid that she will not grant you leave. Honeysuckle smiled: "Grandma said that my mother was sick, and gave me half a day off, so I can go home after lunch and come back before dinner." Changchun also smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's okay for your mother to be better." ”

Honeysuckle put the money away and said, "I just don't understand, grandma is such a good person, why can't my wife wait to see her?" In the morning she came to greet her wife, and stood at the door for half an hour, but she refused to let her in. I saw in my eyes, although I couldn't say anything, I was also very sorry for my grandmother. Changchun nodded and sighed: "Even you say so, you know why Mrs. hates grandma." Honeysuckle didn't know, just tilted his head to look at her. She asked, "Do you feel in your heart, who is the lord of this family?" ”

Honeysuckle immediately replied: "Naturally, it's grandma, and everything in the family is grandma's opinion." Without saying a word, he paused slightly, felt bad, and whispered: "Should it be the master?" Otherwise, it is the old lady who is respected. But neither of them cared about anything, and the wife was very out of tune. Changchun said: "That's it, it's grandma's ability that makes my wife hate grandma." Honeysuckle asked, "Sister, I don't understand this more and more?" Changchun smiled and pinched her nose and said, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, so as not to be right or wrong." Seeing that it is almost noon, you go to the kitchen and get your wife's food, and wait for her to eat, so you can go home and see your mother. ”

When the two of them said this, they only heard a cough in the upper room, and then they were speechless. Honeysuckle followed Changchun's words, took rice to the stove, and came back to serve Liu's meal without mentioning it.

The Liu family was in the middle wall, and listened to the words of these two girls with a full heart, and wanted to have a seizure, but there was no reason, so he put up with it for the time being.

Lunch was over, and Liu went to bed for a morning rest. Changchun knew that she would not wake up if she slept for an hour, so she took it upon herself to send Honeysuckle home.

Unexpectedly, Liu didn't fall asleep, but only thought that Honeysuckle was far away, so he turned over and pretended to wake up, calling Honeysuckle to take tea. Changchun didn't expect her to wake up so early, although she was full of suspicion, she hurriedly poured tea in response. Liu Shi didn't take the tea, only looked at Changchun and asked, "My name is honeysuckle, why did you come up and agree?" Where did the little hoof go? As he spoke, he shouted honeysuckle again.

Changchun said with a smile; "Honeysuckle was called by Pauline in the old lady's room, as if something bothered her." Liu said: "A hairy girl, what can bother her?" Now go and call her, and say, I will make her. Changchun had no choice but to say: "Honeysuckle is sick, go to her house to take a look, and come before dinner." Liu sneered and said, "Who is the master of this?" I don't even know a shadow! It turns out that the girls in my room are all making their own decisions like this. This little hoof is so bold that he dares to run out if he asks for something out of his mouth. I don't dare to use such a girl. When she returned, he called for someone to bring her away. After speaking, I just looked at Changchun.

When Changchun heard this, he knew that the words of the two had been listened to by his wife, so he had to speak 1510 and said, "Grandma let her go." Then he hurriedly said: "Grandma saw that there was something really going on at Honeysuckle's house, so she let her go first." It didn't take long, but it was an hour or two, and it came before dinner. ”

Liu laughed in his nose and said, "I can't go out, this hoof is getting more and more faced." Even the girl in my house dares to assign like this, without even asking! When Changchun heard this, he smiled and tried to say: "Grandma has the heart to ask Mrs., isn't Mrs. not seeing Grandma?" Liu Shi choked on this sentence, and didn't say a word for a long time, but the look on his face became more and more ugly.

At this moment, Pauline came here and said, "The old lady asks her to come over and talk." When the Liu family heard this, he secretly said in his heart that he had something to say to this old pious woman, so he didn't care about the old man's grounding order, got up and put on his clothes and hurried to the backyard.

Stepping into the backyard, I saw Bao He guarding the door. As soon as he saw her coming, Baohe's face turned pale and he hurriedly lowered his head. Seeing this, the Liu family became a little nameless, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "Cheap girl, who is you going to show like this?!" I'm a tiger, I'll eat you! Pauline came up and said, "The old lady is waiting inside, but the lady is not angry, so go in quickly." lest the old lady hear the movement, and the illness that has only gotten a little better will get worse again, and the old man will go home and scold. When the Liu family heard this, they gave up, and dropped the curtain and went in.

When I entered the door, I saw the old lady Lu Jiashi sitting on the chair in the upper circle, her face ruddy and her spirits, but how could she be half sick?

Liu stepped forward to say Wanfu, and said sarcastically: "The old lady has been sick for the past few days, and her daughter-in-law wants to come to serve every day, but she can't come. It turns out that Dr. Zhao's pill medicine is such a miraculous test, and the old lady has been safe in a few days, which is really better than Guanyin Bodhisattva's pure bottle of divine water! ”

When Lu Jiashi heard this, he was not annoyed, but said lightly: "Doctor Zhao's medicine is good, this is one, and secondly, no one beats the chicken and scolds the dog in front of me, and scolds the mulberry, I feel comfortable, and I will naturally get better." Liu's face suddenly sank, and he said: "The daughter-in-law won't say the words that go around the bend, so just say it clearly." The old lady had clearly promised her daughter-in-law before to bring Xue Yan into the door, why did she change her hexagram in less than a day? The old lady is not allowed, just explain it to her daughter-in-law, why bother to make this trick again, and make her daughter-in-law ugly! ”

Lu Jiashi listened to Liu's reprimand, didn't speak at first, took a bite of the tea bowl, and then said slowly: "I usually say that you don't have a calculation, and the ugliness is your own loss." If you hadn't sprinkled the fire on Baohe for no reason, how could you be shameless? A half-grown child is also worthy of your fall, and this matter has nothing to do with others. It's all on the side, I only ask you one thing, that day your sister came home, and you sent a bag of silver to her, but is there such a thing? ”

Liu is a person who can't hide his thoughts, and when he suddenly heard this question, he couldn't help but blush on his cheeks, his face was hot, and he said: "It's just that I sent some food, and I saved my own money in the past, so how can I have any silver." The old lady must have seen something bad. Lu Jiashi sneered: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I can't say that it's bad." No matter what it is, it's all the Lu family's things, what should you say if you kidnap and steal your in-laws' property to help your mother's relatives? ”

The Liu family bowed his head and said silently, and Lu Jiashi said again: "That thing is not necessary, just look at you acting like this, I am only afraid that the daughters of your Liu family are all immoral, how dare you recruit her?" Your niece was dragged down by your aunt all her life. When Liu heard this, he hurriedly replied: "This matter is all mine, and it has nothing to do with Xue Yan's girl." She is well-behaved and quiet, and her family style is the best. The old lady knows people best, and when I saw her that day, I liked her so much, which shows that this girl has been a human being for a long time, and she should never be angry with her because of her daughter-in-law's fault. ”

Lu Jiashi was noncommittal, only ate tea and said nothing. The Liu family was anxious, and he wanted to say it again, but Shi Shiran came in and reported: "The second wife brought the second son and the third son to visit the old lady, and now they are sitting in the outer hall." ”

As soon as Baohe said a word, the Liu family was full of discomfort. It turned out that these two wives were the Zhou family, the wife of Lu Weili, who went out of the family, and the second and third sons were Lu Weili's two sons: Lu Zhiwen and Lu Zhenren. Liu's and Zhou's have always been incompatible, and after the separation, the two rooms of the big house are quite incompatible, and only come to the door during the New Year's Festival.

When the Liu family heard that the Zhou family was coming with his son at this moment, he was naturally a little unhappy.

I only heard Lu Jiashi ask, "Who is accompanying you in the hall?" Baohe said: "It's grandma, grandma sent me to ask the old lady to show me, maybe to see a guest?" ”

Lu Jiashi smiled: "It's rare that the children have a heart, can't I stop it?" You go out and just say that I haven't cleaned up here, so I'll come later. When Bao He was commanded, he went out. Liu pursed his mouth and did not speak. Lu Jiashi said: "Later, your little sister-in-law will come in, but you don't have to say much, so as not to quarrel here, I am impatient to listen." The Liu family had to agree because he had something to ask for.

In the hall, Xia Chunchao was accompanying several relatives.

The girl who served in the hall put on the fragrant tea and fruit, and Xia Chunchao smiled and said: "It's rare for the aunt and the two uncles to come over, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are sluggish, I hope you don't blame you." She naturally knew that these three people were here to visit her grandmother, but Lu Jia's illness had not seen many people recently, and she didn't know if she could see each other. This week, he had a lot of trouble with his mother-in-law, and he didn't know if he had bad intentions, so he greeted him and sent someone to the backyard to ask.

That Zhou was about forty years old, medium stature, not fat or thin, wearing a bean-green plain face and a pine-colored cotton skirt, and smiled at her: "The Spring Dynasty said this is an outsider, and it is considered that we came abruptly." As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chunchao and said with a smile: "It's rare on weekdays, it turns out that Chunchao is so handsome, and he is so virtuous and capable, no wonder this house is well organized and thriving!" ”。
