Volume 1, Chapter 44: Uncle's Family Affair (Part II)
Mother Deng actually regretted it after she finished speaking. This is where the girl can participate. The girl is so young, she shouldn't be exposed to these dirty things.
After thinking for a while, Yue Yao instructed Hua Bu and said, "Go and bring the gift that my eldest cousin gave me." He wanted to see what Ma Peng's gift was for her. A gift also reflects the attitude towards her. If she is full of kindness and is good to him, she is willing to help. If it was a perfunctory gift, she had to weigh it. It's true that she wants to find a help, but don't help but don't find it, and it turns out to be a burden.
Mother Deng didn't know why Yueyao had changed the wind, but she asked Hua Bud to take the gift. Open the box, and inside the box is a jade jade, carved into the shape of a seal. The jade is transparent all over the body, two fingers wide, and the middle finger is long.
Yue Yao was very strange: "What did my eldest cousin give me this seal for?" "It's not strange, it's understandable to send other things. Give him a good stamp to do.
Mother Deng looked at it carefully and said, "The girl doesn't know, this seal was given to the eldest young master by the young lady before she left the cabinet." encouraged the eldest young master to work hard, but he didn't expect the eldest young master to transfer it to the girl again. "At that time, people liked to engrave their own aliases on the seals as private seals. Yueyao's mother obviously also planned this.
Yue Yao reached out and stroked the jade stone. I have to say that this piece of jade moved Yueyao. Sending other things Yue Yao may not be moved, but she will transfer her mother's things back to the novels "One", "Ben" and "Reading". It can be seen from here that the eldest cousin really has a heart.
If you don't have the experience of your previous life, you don't know Cheng's brazenness. Even if she had this seal, Yue Yao would definitely not interfere in the Ma family's internal affairs. After all, the Ma family is really a mess of muddy water. Otherwise, my grandmother would not have wanted her to come to her uncle's house to laugh and live. But thinking about what Cheng did later, thinking about her eldest cousin's friendliness to her, she felt the need to help her eldest cousin. The most direct way is to promise Mrs. Liu to sabotage Cheng's calculations, so that Cheng Lizi will not be able to marry her eldest cousin. When the time comes, let the eldest cousin marry a famous lady. Perhaps, if you change to a grandmother, the Ma family will not be defeated. On the bright side, even if the uncle is gone, as long as the eldest cousin is well, she will have more help in the future.
Yue Yao was silent for a moment and then said, "Did Mother Liu say that my uncle planned to marry my eldest cousin?" Does my uncle also want my eldest cousin to marry the Cheng family's sister? ”
Mother Deng said with certainty: "Uncle must not agree. The Cheng family has long been ruined, how could he let the eldest brother marry the daughter of the Cheng family. The uncle actually wanted the eldest brother to marry the daughter of the Peng family. This is the news revealed by Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu was also sick and rushed to the doctor. Cheng's step by step, as a subordinate, where can she fight as a housewife. Yueyao's visit was an opportunity.
There was astonishment in Yue Yao's eyes: "Peng family? The Peng's family? "Lord Peng later became an official to the Ministry of Officials. This is the official in charge of the promotion of officials in the world. If you can get married, the future of the eldest cousin is bright. Uncle will probably not die early.
Mother Deng nodded: "Yes." The old lady once had a kindness to Master Peng, and the uncle also had a good relationship with Master Peng. The uncle had this intention, and the Peng family did not shirk it. But this also has to be the eldest brother to fight, and it can only be said in high school, if there is no high school, the marriage will be suspended. ”
It's very worrying. The eldest young master, let alone Jinshi now, even the fame of raising people is gone. But the Peng family's attitude is very clear, if there is no fame, don't talk about marriage.
Yue Yao remembered that her eldest cousin hadn't even been admitted to the exam in his previous life. Presumably, the Peng family saw that the eldest cousin didn't even get into the exam, so he didn't look at it: "Big cousin, it shouldn't be the second girl of the Peng family, right?" "Don't be the second daughter, she thinks too much.
Mother Deng nodded: "Yes, it is the second daughter of the Peng family." The eldest daughter of the Peng family has already promised someone. is a little daughter who is like the eldest young master. It is said that the girl was not only beautiful as a flower, gentle and generous, but also very capable. The female red chefs are all first-class. ”
Yue Yao was a little puzzled: "Second daughter? "The daughter-in-law Peng who was married by Ge Tingli in the lobby is the second daughter of the Peng family. Peng and Tingli are in the same year, that is, they are both the same age this year. Since there was an agreement with the Ma family, why didn't it work out later, and I chose Brother Lobby. If so, it is probably because the eldest cousin did not pass the exam, and the Peng family regretted it. In the end, I chose the lobby brother.
Yue Yao remembered that this sister-in-law in the lobby had a good reputation in Lianfu, but she was bland to her, and it was completely face-saving. Could it be that there is also a reason for this?
Mother Deng smiled and said, "Hmm." There are two girls in the Peng family. This second girl has a gentle temperament, and it is enough to match the eldest young master. Don't worry, girl, the days of returning to Beijing are shallow, and when you finish your filial piety and go out to contact more people outside, these relationships are naturally not clear. "Although the girl is married, she still needs to go out and walk around and get along with girls of the same age. It's also good for girls to make a few friends of the same age.
Yueyao nodded. In her previous life, she was too famous because of her. As a result, they were isolated. The only one who befriended her was the niece of the Shen family's wife, Mu Qinglian. Later, she and Mu Qinglian were also called the Shuangshu of the capital. And then ...... Yue Yao retracted her sporadic thoughts.
Yue Yao let out a sigh, forget about the things in the previous life, otherwise it would be bad to always fall into the shadow of the previous life: "Mom, I decided to help my eldest cousin." "Help the eldest cousin, let the eldest cousin accept her affection, and ask the eldest cousin for something in the future, and the eldest cousin will definitely help."
Mother Deng shook her head: "Girl, I don't think it's appropriate." "She was also confused just now before she was moved by Mrs. Liu's words. How could the girl be contaminated with such filthy things?
Yue Yao seemed to see through what Mother Deng was thinking: "Mom, Mo's actions have no bottom line, and even the little private money in my hand is kept for myself." When my grandmother is a hundred years old, she will definitely tear off that mask of hypocrisy. When the time comes, I will have to help me with Moh's face. ”
Mrs. Liu used this to attract Mother Deng's heart. Now that even Yueyao said so, Mother Deng was struggling in her heart.
Yueyao didn't force Mother Deng either, but asked with a smile: "Tell me, what is Mrs. Liu going to do?" "She wants to know what Mrs. Liu plans to do and what she wants her to do.
Liu Pozi's request for help from Yueyao is also very simple. I just hope that Yueyao can confirm to Ma Chengteng that Cheng Lizi wants to hook up with the eldest young master, of course, the result is that she didn't hook up.
Mrs. Liu's calculation is very simple, that is, to use Ma Chengteng's favor for Yueyao and let Yueyao testify at a critical moment, so that Ma Chengteng will believe Cheng's viciousness......
Yueyao pondered for a moment and said, "Mom, Cheng's dislike me because of my mother. If the eldest cousin marries Cheng Lizi again, my uncle's family will be completely unreliable. If Cheng's plan is ruined, let the eldest cousin marry a famous and noble girl and rely on it in the future. "To be a girl is nothing more than to rely on her father's house and her mother's house. The father's family can't be relied on, so he can only rely on the mother's family. If the mother's family is no longer reliable, then I don't know who to rely on.
Mother Deng was still hesitating.
Yue Yao knew Deng's mother's concerns, and chuckled: "Mom, don't worry." It's okay to help. But I won't let myself get involved, "It's okay to help, but Yueyao will never let herself get involved in these things." It's not good for her to get these things in the girl's house.
Mother Deng's eyes lit up: "Girl, can you really not get involved?" ”
Yue Yao nodded: "The eldest cousin is the eldest son, and his wife is related to the future of the family." As long as you let your uncle know that Cheng Lizi can't bear the burden of this eldest sister-in-law, it's enough. "It's not about killing people and setting fires, it's just enough to fan the flames a few times on the side, and let my uncle know that Cheng's intentions are ill-intentioned.
Mother Deng agreed immediately. As long as the girl doesn't get involved, it's okay to do this favor. She doesn't like Cheng anyway.
Only then did Yue Yao say, "Then let her tell you the detailed plan." If you hide a little bit, it will have nothing to do with your mother if something goes wrong at that time. ”
Mother Deng smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'll do it." ”
Mother Deng soon came back and told Yueyao about the plan. After finishing speaking, he was a little worried: "Girl, we are in contact with Mrs. Liu like this, after the matter comes out, the Cheng family will definitely be unfavorable to the girl." "Mother Deng is afraid that Cheng's will find the girl to settle accounts.
Yue Yao sneered: "It's okay, I'll go back to Lianfu the day after tomorrow." After this autumn, my uncle should set up a family affair for my eldest cousin. In the future, she will be the housekeeper of the eldest cousin. Cheng ......, "As long as the uncle is not weak and incompetent for the eldest cousin, he must be the eldest cousin's housekeeper."
Mother Deng thought about it and thought so.
After Yueyao finished dinner, she asked her mother to lead her to the garden for a walk. This was the courtyard of the Hou Mansion back then, that is, a place to relax and relax, and the scenery was naturally first-class.
Rockeries, attics, willows swaying, flowers fluttering.
The night was hazy, and walking under such a moonlight, Yueyao's heart was tranquil. If only I could be so quiet all the time, without strife, without you robbing me.
Mother Deng is very familiar with this place, and she takes Yueyao here to go. As he walked, he told Yueyao what kind of allusion was here. He even said that the young lady had done something here before.
Yue Yao listened very carefully, and asked a few questions from time to time. Looking at this hazy night, Yue Yao wanted to paint.
The buds were slandered in the back, and the girl was a guest at the door, so she sent people to the yard, and she didn't send someone to talk well, she just hung it like this, what's going on. This uncle is really outrageous.
Hua Bud saw that the night was dark: "Girl, it's getting late, it's time to go back." "Strange, the girl used to practice calligraphy diligently at night. Why is there such a Yaxing today.
Yueyao looked at the wonderful moonlight: "The night scene here is so beautiful. "Naturally, it's beautiful, I don't know how much money was spent on the day to build here.
Mother Deng looked at the time: "Girl, the night is heavy, go back!" ”
When I went back, I turned another way back. Hua Bud is not familiar with this place, so she is naturally led by Mother Deng.
The group walked for about a quarter of an hour. Suddenly I heard a sad cry: "Cousin, you can't treat me like this, cousin, you can't be so ruthless, you ......" Suddenly there was a sigh.
Then a male voice sounded: "Cousin, how are you?" Aba, hurry up and call someone, and have someone carry a stretcher over. ”
Soon a voice answered: "Okay, young master, I'll go call someone." ”
When Mother Deng heard that response, her face was not good. This servant is obviously eating inside and out. At this critical juncture, where can I leave the young master to call someone. It should be good to let the young master ask someone to leave him. There must be a maid on duty in the garden. Only Cheng Lizi shouted loudly, these people came out, but the eldest young master couldn't speak clearly with ten mouths.
This Liu Pozi took precautions, but she didn't guard against the people around her who went wrong. Thinking of this, Mother Deng began to have doubts about this Liu Pozi! Mrs. Liu is so shrewd, and the little girl next to the young man is the first object of strict prevention. How can you eat inside and outside, I'm afraid there is another hidden secret. This Mrs. Liu is still on guard against herself.
If it hadn't been pre-booked, Mother Deng would definitely have turned around and left with Yueyao. But now, Mother Deng can only take Yueyao and four maids and a mother-in-law around her to walk along the place where the call sounds.
Soon, everyone saw Cheng Lizi crawling on the ground with a painful face.
Ma Peng was standing on one side at a loss, about three or four steps away from Cheng Lizi. The little guy beside him had just walked a few steps away, and in the silence of the night, everyone could still hear his footsteps.
