Chapter 11: Calculation (2)
Da Jia's sent all his subordinates down, and told Xiao Jia's what he told her yesterday, and talked carefully about it with Da Mei's personage. After speaking, he shook his head and said, "My sister has not seen her for a few years, and even my sister doesn't know her." Such a bad idea, if it was before, she would never have thought of it. What kind of demon and monster was the Zhou family that made her what she is now? ”
As he spoke, he showed a look of amazement.
In her heart, her sister was still the kind child who would cry out loud because she accidentally pinched a firefly; is still the girl who pulls her to sleep and guards the blooming flowers in order to see the blooming of epiphany; It's still the one who, in order to save the family who was framed, did not hesitate to marry a half-paralyzed disabled daughter.
Now, who is this woman who speaks lightly about this terrible plan?
Da Jia's heart was a little cold.
Master Mei clapped her hands and sighed: "What a husband in a woman's middle school, it is difficult for her to come up with such a clever plan for a woman." Even ordinary men can't match her. ”
He said to Da Jia's family: "You, you are too kind of a woman." Those who achieve great things are not informal, and for the glory of the family, they have to have the heart of a bodhisattva and use thunderous means. Think about it, the second sister married such a person, and now she has been given such a heavy task by the old lady, how difficult it must be for her to come to this day. But whenever she takes a weak step and takes a step back, behind her, she is afraid that there will be a cliff. She is a weak woman without any background, and her only reliance in that family is the favor of the old lady. If she doesn't do it, or if she messes up, what will happen to her? In particular, she didn't even have a child. What is she fighting for in that house? It's not for you, her family. If it weren't for her, now you and I probably are still waiting in the capital for a shortage that I don't know when it will be, and even if there is, I don't know which place to send to the north, where the family can come to this Jiangnan to enjoy happiness. And the brother-in-law......"
"Gotta get it," Da Jia interrupted Master Mei's tirade: "I know, I know, can't I do it?" When I hear your tirade, my head hurts. ”
"What a good lady for me." Seeing that Da Jia Shi had turned a corner, Master Mei kissed Da Jia Shi's face. He also said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, if your wife has something, your husband will do her best, and keep it for you properly." ”
Master Mei knew the soft-hearted nature of the Da Jia clan, and was worried that she would do something bad, so she took the initiative to take over the matter.
But I heard a voice protruding: "Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife?" Tell me that this little thing doesn't need to be done by my mother or father, just leave it to the child. ”
The sudden voice frightened the two in-laws of Da Jia and Mei to jump, and they looked at it, but it was their sheep who were like sheep as soon as they went out, and they didn't know where the stinky boy was.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Mei Shuhan's white face turned black, and he smiled, revealing a mouthful of white dangling teeth.
"Father, mother, the unfilial son Shuhan is back."
As soon as Mei Shuhan lifted the corner of his clothes, he was going to give a big gift to Da Jia and Mei Da.
When he knelt down, Da Jia had already taken him into his arms, "son" and "heart, liver and flesh" screamed wildly, asking him how he was outside, asking him how he had lost weight, and blaming the little guy for not taking good care of him. It wasn't until lunch that Mei Shuhan was able to get out.
Master Mei called Mei Shuhan to the study again, tested his homework, and saw that everything was in order, so he nodded and smiled.
"This time I'm back, let's spend the New Year with your mother. She really misses you. ”
"That's how I came back." Mei Shuhan smiled, and brought up the previous incident again: "Leave the matter that my father and mother said first, okay?" I promise you'll get it done. ”
Master Mei looked at Mei Shuhan's eyes cautiously: "You don't have other thoughts, do you?" ”
Although this son is smart and resolute, he has the same heart as his mother, and he is very kind, which really makes him hard to believe that he would take the initiative to ask Ying to do such a thing that he would never agree with.
Mei Shuhan gritted his teeth and said: "Dad, you don't know, that Hongqi, although he has a beautiful face, his heart is as ruthless as a snake and scorpion." You don't know, she, how hateful she is. ”
Speaking of this, Mei Shuhan's eyes were split, and he couldn't wait to tear Red Seven apart.
I don't know when he formed such a deep hatred with Red Qi.
asked the current Hongqi, she could only shrug her shoulders and sigh "Zi Fei Yu".
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side, and then the old lady of the Red Mansion was here.
Today's Fushoutang, it's really lively.
First, the third lady arrived and brought the silk sent by her sister-in-law a few days ago to the old lady. It is said that it is the Shu brocade sent by the sister-in-law and brother, and the style that has just come out is popular for the old ladies of the big families over there to wear this. It's very different from the tricks on the Jiangnan side.
Although it is not a valuable object, give it to the old lady to see how fresh.
Although the old lady wears a lot of clothes all year round, she also likes bright things, and she is amazed while looking at it.
"It's really different from ours. Most of the patterns on our side are plain and elegant, pay attention to nature, that is, they are bright, and they probably can't leave this frame. This Shu is very different, the color is bold, and many colors are not used here. The composition is so complex and gorgeous that we really can't catch up with it. But it looks like it's still very harmonious. ”
"No wonder the old people in the family say that the old lady is the one who knows how to dress the most. We juniors, we can't catch up with the horses. Just listen to the words of this expert, and I'll be convinced. ”
The third lady exclaimed with admiration on her face.
The cedars, cranes, autumn chrysanthemums, and cinnamon in the old lady's house also joined in the fun. Coaxed an old lady into a smile from ear to ear.
At this moment, the second wife, the fourth wife, and the eldest wife also arrived.
The eldest lady didn't mean to come, but met the second and fourth wives on the way. The second wife and the fourth wife held that there was one more person and one more strength, so they told the eldest lady their intentions. Although the eldest lady didn't want to see the second wife, as soon as she heard that it was for the exchange of relatives, she didn't care about the previous feud, so she also followed.
The old lady ordered someone to have tea with a few of them, and said with a smile: "I'm really neat today, but is it going to stage "Forcing the Palace" or "Zen Position"? ”
The old lady's words were an understatement, but the wives were shocked.
The third wife still reacted the fastest, and said with a smile: "I read less books, I don't know what "Forcing the Palace" and "Zen Position", I will only play this "Colorful Clothes and Entertaining Relatives", what do you think, old lady?" ”
As she spoke, the third lady wrapped a horse of Shu brocade that had just been placed on the table, like a bird, jumping east and west, waving the Shu brocade over the tip of the second wife's nose for a while, and waving it over the head of the eldest lady for a while, making the two of them hurriedly avoid, and the wolf was incessant.
The old lady pointed at the third lady and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
"You monkey, you monkey, you are all the ones who have become the mother of the house, and you are still so skinny. I'm not afraid of being laughed at. ”
"As long as the ancestors can smile and live a long life, what is it if I am laughed at?"
The third lady had already turned around at this time, and then she returned to the old lady, making a play and making a blessing.
"Please give the old lady a reward."
"Good, good!" The old lady really asked Cedar to take a few ingots of silver to reward the third wife, and the third lady really took it. Everyone thought that this was the end of it. Who knows, the sleeves of the third wife's clothes are half covered with her face, and she bites the silver ingot with her teeth.
"Fortunately, this time the old woman is a real Bodhisattva, not fake, not fake."
At this moment, even the second wife couldn't help laughing.
Sometimes, I can't complain that this old lady loves the three ladies the most, and the whole family can't find another one who can put down the shelf and make the old lady happy like her.
The second wife muttered to herself in her heart: No wonder the emperor loves his ministers.
The old lady smiled weakly, Cedar served the old lady on the couch, and Guixiang caressed the old lady's back and gave her comfort. It took a while before it stopped.
The old lady waved her hand, and Cedar knew that she had something to say to the ladies, so she went down with the girl, and closed the door, leaving only the crane to serve in the house. And she herself guarded outside, lest the daring girl dare to eavesdrop on the master's deliberations.
She is such a proper and meticulous person, no wonder she is the first proud person in front of the old lady, and even several wives have to respect her for three points.
And He'er is the old lady's favorite girl, serving by her side all the year round, and she can't leave for a moment. The old lady never avoided the two of them when there was anything going on.
After the idle people retreated, the old lady said: "Okay, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you know my temper, and you won't make an appointment to bother me if you don't have anything." Say, what is it? ”
This is a wrongful statement to the third wife, but she did not make an appointment with someone.
She came with the idea of visiting the old lady in private, but when she saw that the eldest wife, the second wife, and the fourth wife were all here, she couldn't say anything. Therefore, he only smiled and said: "The eldest and youngest are orderly, let's talk about the eldest wife and the second wife first!" ”
The eldest lady and the second wife secretly slandered themselves, when the old lady asked you to be a housekeeper, why didn't you say anything about the order?
Hearing this, the old lady's gaze moved to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady only felt a tremor in her heart, and she couldn't spit out the words when they came to her mouth. For the old lady, although she resented in her heart, she was even more afraid.
She turned her eyes for help to the second wife.
The third lady was a little displeased, which made her feel as if the eldest lady and the others were in a group, and she was the only one who was isolated. Especially the eldest lady has always been at odds with the second wife before, and the third wife has a feeling of being betrayed by the eldest wife. Looking at the eldest lady's eyes, there were a few chills.
The eldest lady shuddered.
However, looking at it again, the third wife's face was already her usual smile again.
Fangcai, is it an illusion?
The eldest lady thought secretly, but she was a little apprehensive in her heart.
When the second wife received the eyes of the eldest lady, she was contemptuous, but she still spoke.
