Chapter 203: Undercurrent
Although Liu Yujiang's behavior always disappointed Second Master Liu, Second Master Liu still regarded him as a nephew, so he thought of taking this opportunity to teach him a few words. But there is still Rong Chenghan here, and in order to save some face for Liu Yujiang, the second master Liu has some words that are not good to say in front of Rong Chenghan, so he took Liu Yujiang to another room.
Even if so many things happened, Second Master Liu still thought that Liu Yujiang could be improved. Thinking like this, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh.
Second Mrs. Liu also sighed slightly and shook her head.
Rong Chenghan's eyes fell on Liu Yujiang's back, deep and cold, and after a while, Rong Chenghan withdrew his gaze and talked to Mrs. Liu again.
"The big coat that my sister made last time is well-fitting and wind-proof, and it is very neat to dress when you go out of the city, and it is not cold at all."
"That's good, that's good." When Mrs. Liu listened, she forgot about the troubles on Liu Yujiang's side, "When I open the warehouse tomorrow, I will find two better skins and make another one for you." As if she was afraid that Rong Chenghan would refuse, Mrs. Liu was busy and added, "Your husband, as well as your third sister and Brother Wen are also going to add new clothes for the New Year, just do it together." ”
"Then there is Master Lao." Rong Chenghan owed a little and thanked Mrs. Liu, but he was very real and did not refuse at all.
Rong Chenghan is like this, and Mrs. Liu is even more happy.
After about two cups of tea, the second master Liu walked back, and Liu Yujiang followed behind the second master Liu, hanging his head slightly, his eyes were a little red. It seems that what Second Master Liu said just now was not light, and Liu Yujiang's appearance seemed to be very ashamed.
After entering the house, Second Master Liu sat down, and Liu Yujiang knelt down for Second Master Liu again.
"My nephew, thank you for my second uncle's teachings. The second uncle's words are from the bottom of his heart, for the good of his nephew, and his nephew has no heart and liver, and he can't help but feel guilty. …… In the future, it will be changed. No longer let the second uncle be discouraged and ...... affected", which was quite heartbreaking.
Second Master Liu sighed, and helped Liu Yujiang up.
"If you can know your mistakes and want to repent, you are a good boy!"
Second Mrs. Liu looked at it from the side, and she was a little embarrassed, looking at Second Mrs. Liu's expression, but her perception of Liu Yujiang was somewhat relaxed.
Second Master Liu instructed Liu Yujiang a few more words, and Liu Yujiang responded one by one, and Second Master Liu asked Liu Yujiang to see Master Liu.
"Talk to your father, who is worried about you. …… Let's go see the old lady again. It is also good to reassure the old lady. And the big lady there......"
Listening to Second Master Liu's instructions, a look of disappointment flashed on Liu Yujiang's face, but he quickly covered up the past, saluted Second Master Liu, and saluted Second Mrs. Liu and Rong Chenghan, along with Liu Ruoxi and Liu Yuwen, and then slowly retreated.
“…… It's very true, and it would be a blessing if it could be changed. "Watching Liu Yujiang leave. Second Master Liu said.
Daddy told him to speak alone, and the words of repentance he had just said to Daddy would be fine. Why did you walk back here, and swear by this gambling curse. It's like it's not just for my father. Liu Ruoxi thought for a moment. He said with a smile.
It's not that she is too careful, but with her understanding of Liu Yujiang's temperament, Liu Yujiang's words and demeanor are mostly pretentious. It was originally a private affair for the family. It's not easy for others to know. According to common sense, if Liu Yujiang wants to come to confess to the second master of Liu, he should also pick up when there are no guests. The latter words of repentance. There is no need to say it in front of Rong Chenghan.
Liu Yujiang's words and deeds seem deliberate everywhere, and Liu Ruoxi can't help but think about it.
Did Liu Yujiang also notice that Rong Chenghan didn't like him, and even noticed that Rong Chenghan sent people to stare at him, so he deliberately wanted to do this in front of Rong Chenghan.
Liu Ruoxi's words obviously reminded the second master of Liu. Although the second master Liu still hopes that Liu Yujiang can be improved, but at the same time, he is still wary and disliked Liu Yujiang.
"It's okay, it's his own creation." Second Master Liu said.
"Sir is right." Rong Chenghan also said.
Liu Ruoxi raised her eyes to look at Rong Chenghan, and it happened that Rong Chenghan also looked at her. Liu Ruoxi knew that Rong Chenghan understood what she meant. Liu Yujiang may be able to coax Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, but he can't coax Rong Chenghan.
"These two days are the Winter Solstice Festival, you must be at home, and it is not good to invite you over." Second Mrs. Liu smiled and said to Rong Chenghan, "It just so happens that we are all together today, and I asked the kitchen to prepare a water mat." ”
"Yes." Second Master Liu also smiled, "Your master is a chef invited from Luoyang, and the water mat is very authentic, let's taste it later." ”
"My mother also prepared good wine." Liu Ruoxi also smiled.
Mrs. Liu's house was happy, but at the same time, Mrs. Liu's house was a different scene.
Mrs. Liu was lying on the kang, her hair was scattered, her face was pale, and her eyes were plucked out. Her sickness at this time didn't have any pretense at all, and she was really kicked by Master Liu. Of course, in addition to the physical injuries, there is also no shortage of mental pain.
Mrs. Liu San brought someone to collect it, but there was no change in Mrs. Liu's room, after all, it was all things in the account books, but almost all the savings she had hidden over the years had been collected.
All these years of calculations and hard work, on this day, all came to naught, along with all her dignity as the eldest son's daughter-in-law and housekeeper's wife in the Liu family.
At this moment, she can still struggle to speak, and Mrs. Liu is also a very resolute person.
Liu Ruoyuan sat next to Mrs. Liu on the edge of the kang, Liu Yujiang, Liu Da/Grandma, and Liu Ruojuan were all sitting on chairs under the kang, and Feng Jianzhang was also there.
Feng Jianzhang came to resign to Mrs. Liu, saying that it was almost the end of the year, and he should go back for the New Year, so as not to worry about his family.
“…… It's just that my aunt is like this, and I can't rest assured. These are Feng Jianzhang's words.
Liu Ruoyuan cried to Mrs. Liu that going to the Marquis of Zhending's Mansion tomorrow would not be done. Mrs. Liu refused to see her, and Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San both said that they would not let her go.
“…… I'm not going, what does the eldest princess think. I see that things can be decided, so I'm afraid that something will change, but what can I do......
Liu Yujiang and Liu Da/Grandma didn't say anything, both of them lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Brother Zhang," Mrs. Liu struggled to lift her upper body and leaned on the pillow, "It's winter, and it's very difficult to walk on the road." I mean, I'd better keep you a little longer. Wait until the end of the year. ”
Mrs. Liu wanted to leave Feng Jianzhang behind and not let him go.
Feng Jianzhang was a little surprised, but it didn't show it on his face.
"What do you say when you go back at this time? The way I am now, ...... your father and mother don't know how to worry. And in a few days, ...... will feel better when you are here, and it will also be my arm......" Mrs. Liu looked at Feng Jianzhang with a begging look in her eyes.
Speaking of which, the current situation at home should let Feng Jianzhang leave. But Mrs. Liu had her plans in mind, so she decided to keep Feng Jianzhang.
Feng Jianzhang was embarrassed, he could still refute what Mrs. Liu said before, but then Mrs. Liu showed weakness, meaning to beg Feng Jianzhang to stay, Feng Jianzhang was not easy to refuse for a while.
"Live here, but who has given you a look? Embarrassed for you? Seeing that Feng Jianzhang didn't answer immediately, Mrs. Liu asked.
"Not really." Feng Jianzhang hurriedly said.
After all, the Liu family is a scholarly family, they value face and pay attention to the courtesy of hospitality, not to mention the soft-hearted and charitable people like Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, even Master Liu San and Third Mrs. Liu have never given Feng Jianzhang a look.
Of course, Mrs. Liu knows this.
"That's good." Mrs. Liu nodded, "If you want to go home, I won't keep you much, just wait for me to get better, and then you can go home and talk about it, so as not to worry about your father." ”
When Mrs. Liu's words came to this point, Feng Jianzhang had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Mother......" The tears on Liu Ruoyuan's face have not dried yet, although Mrs. Liu is what she is now, but in Liu Ruoyuan's opinion, Mrs. Liu is almost omnipotent, in this case, only Mrs. Liu can come up with a way.
But this time, Mrs. Liu was destined to disappoint Liu Ruoyuan.
"Yuan'er, this time, it's not possible." Mrs. Liu sighed, talking to Feng Jianzhang just now, she almost exhausted her strength, and now she is a little lacking in breath.
"Mother!" Liu Ruoyuan's eyes widened.
"Yuan'er, don't, don't worry." Mrs. Liu naturally knew what Liu Ruoyuan was thinking at the moment, but she really couldn't help it now. "Not this time, there will be a next time."
"Where is there any next ......" Liu Ruoyuan's face became a little hideous, and her heart was full of hatred at this moment.
"You kid, you have to learn to be patient. Don't let your temperament come to chance! Mrs. Liu saw Liu Ruoyuan's face change, and she was anxious, so she coughed.
Mrs. Liu's cough didn't matter, but she coughed up blood again.
Liu Ruoyuan was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve Mrs. Liu, and asked Liu Yujiang to invite the imperial doctor.
"Mother, what's wrong, what's wrong!" Even if Liu Ruoyuan is the eldest girl in the Liu family, she has such a temperament, but in the end, she is still young, and when she sees Mrs. Liu coughing up blood like this, she is afraid that Mrs. Liu will die soon.
"You don't need to ask for a doctor." Mrs. Liu said busily, grabbing Liu Ruoyuan's arm, "Big girl, if you listen to your mother, your mother will be fine." ”
"I listen to my mother." Liu Ruoyuan nodded again and again. Mrs. Liu no longer spoils her, Mr. Liu has a problem with her, and the only thing she can rely on in this family is Mrs. Liu. Liu Ruoyuan knew that if Mrs. Liu had three longs and two shorts, her situation would not be much better. (To be continued......)
