Chapter 15: Fawning
Zhang Yanyuan hesitated at the Hanging Flower Gate for a while before walking towards the inner courtyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The needles were quietly dropped in the jade courtyard, and there was no trace of the servants.
The Qi family rarely went out of the yard, and Zhang Yanyuan asked the mother-in-law who was guarding the door.
The woman hesitated a few times before she said, it seems that Lao An invited his wife over.
Lao An people please? Is it worth her to bring a courtyard of servants? Zhang Yanyuan frowned unhappily.
In fact, Lao Anren deliberately asked the people around him to explain, and did not let the Qi family bring Sister Chen and Sister Xi over, saying that they had something to say. Qi was suspicious at the moment, so he ordered all the servants in the courtyard to follow.
Qi was surrounded by servants and entered the hall.
There were two boys in the same clothes standing in the hall, and when they heard the movement, they turned their heads curiously to look at Qi's side. looked very similar to Zhang Yanyuan, and Qi's heart sank.
Lao An sat as steady as Mount Tai, showing a warm smile. Yang stood beside Lao Anren, his eyebrows raised slightly, and when he saw Qi coming in, his eyes flashed a few times.
Liang coughed lightly, gave Qi a look, and quietly pointed to Yang's side.
Qi Shi understood what was going on and sneered.
"Mother, what do you have to say to your daughter-in-law?" Qi Shi entered the hall, too lazy to beat around the bush, so he asked directly.
In this way, it seems that she is aggressively asking for guilt.
Lao An ordered someone to show the Qi family a seat, and then said, "You two, hurry up and say hello to your mother." ”
The two boys heard Lao Anren speak and were about to salute. Qi gave the servants a look and asked them to hold the two children and not accept their courtesy.
When Brother Yu and Brother Zhe saw this, they were a little flustered. When they came, their mother only told them that they would listen to Lao An's arrangement in everything.
"Mother is confused, I only have two children, Sister Chen and Sister Xi, I don't know who these two are." Qi didn't even look at those two children.
Lao Anren said in a good voice, "This is Brother Yu and Brother Zhe, both of whom are the blood and blood of the fifth child." Let's see, it's carved out of the same mold as the old five. ”
"What does that mean, Mother?" Qi couldn't help but raise his voice.
"The two of them are also older, and we can't stop them from recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors." Lao An was about to say something, but Qi interrupted her.
"If Mother comes to ask me what I mean, then I tell you that I don't agree. If my mother has already made a decision, let me know. I think my mother was doing this too much. Qi Shi didn't say politely at all.
Lao Anren had already been instigated by the Yang family to be dissatisfied with the Qi family, and he was annoyed, "I kindly discussed with you, you are so disrespectful to the elders." ”
That's a great thing.
Qi was angry and said, "I treat you as my own mother." I never slack off in the morning and dusk, I ask myself how thoughtful and proper the service is, what my mother says, I have never refuted anything, but this time my mother is strong, I just said what I thought in my heart, in the eyes of my mother, has it become disrespectful to the elders? ”
Liang and Xi Ni said, "Those of us who are concubines are most envious of Lao An's love for the five brothers and sisters." But we also know that over the years, the five younger siblings have been waiting for their mother like sisters-in-law..." The implication is that the two don't have to hurt their feelings for the sake of their concubines.
Qi is angry, and when Liang said this, she also understood a little. shed two tears, covered his face with a handkerchief and said, "If I hurt my mother's heart because of this, I don't want to, but..." She choked up on the last words and couldn't say them.
Qi's tears are golden beans, and it is easy to see her crying. Lao An was also a little reluctant, "Just take the two of them back to study in the clan, and the Fan family and the concubine will never enter the door." If you are not happy in your heart, you can keep them a little farther apart. Nobody says anything about you. "Lao An people retreated, which means that as long as the concubine comes back, it is not arranged by the Ren Qi family.
"Don't worry, their monthly money comes from me, but it's only two taels per person." Seeing that Qi's attitude was loosened, Lao Anren said again.
Hearing this, Yang's face was not very good-looking. According to the rules, one tael per person is enough, and the sister-in-law is only three taels of silver. But this matter is her matter, and it is difficult to say anything more.
Just look at the eyes of the two concubines again, it's not so hot.
She doesn't care about this matter for the sake of human face, she just can't get used to seeing the Qi family, and it's good to be able to add some unhappiness to her.
"Mother is blaming me. Could it be that the import of Tian Ding is a matter of a few more mouths? I have to plan for it. If it weren't for the second sister-in-law's family taking care of our house in business, where would we still drink new tea. ”
Liang smiled back politely when he saw Qi mention himself.
"The fifth brother and sister are funny, if you think things in the house are troublesome, you might as well hand it over to a few sisters-in-law to share it for you." Yang scoffed.
"It's just someone else, I don't feel at ease if this family is handed over to the third sister-in-law." Qi said-for-tat, "Since the third sister-in-law said it, I have to mention it, is the third sister-in-law's small kitchen subsidized by your own dowry?" At that time, Sister Xin was afraid of losing her body, so she prepared a separate small kitchen for your three rooms, but Sister Xin is so big, and the small kitchen should be withdrawn. Third sister-in-law, you are not a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. ”
Yang was so angry with her that she couldn't speak.
Brother Yu and Brother Zhe were left aside.
Zhang Yanyuan came over to greet Lao Anren, and saw Sister Chen sitting in the veranda with Sister Xi in her arms. The two of them looked uneasily in the direction of Cunhuitang, listening to the movement.
"You two don't have a cushion when you sit, beware of catching a cold."
Zhang Yanyuan saw Sister Xi'er's eyes light up, and she smiled like a crooked crescent moon.
"Daddy." She slipped down from Sister Chen's arms, hugged Zhang Yanyuan's legs and rubbed them like kittens. "Daddy, where have you been, Ling Xi misses you so much."
Sister Chen gave Zhang Yanyuan a salute, although she didn't express it, Zhang Yanyuan saw the smile in Sister Chen's eyes at a glance.
Both children were waiting for him to come back, and his mood suddenly became better.
"Grandmother called my mother and didn't let us follow, and I don't know why." Sister Chen said to Zhang Yanyuan.
"Would you like to see what's going on?" Zhang Yanyuan was with children, and he was also childish.
"Yes." Sister Chen hesitated for a moment, and said with Ling Xi, who nodded heavily.
"Let's go, I'll take you."
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a commotion inside. It was Yang's voice, "Mother, you are indulging your five younger siblings like this, so she doesn't take you seriously anymore." ”
Zhang Yanyuan frowned, even if he was not good with the Qi family, he never thought that the Qi family did not take Lao An people in his eyes.
When Lao An was sick, which time was not Qi's clothes untied and personally served.
How could Yang say such slanderous words.
He has always disliked this third sister-in-law, there are too many rights and wrongs.
But he saw Brother Yu and Brother Zhe standing at Lao Anren, and when he came in, Brother Yu wanted to come forward to ask for peace, but was dragged back by Brother Zhe.
Brother Zhe'er glared at Qi angrily.
Zhang Yanyuan was greatly surprised, why did Brother Yu and Brother Zhe come. Who picked them up, or did Fan send them, why didn't they listen to Fan's words?
It is absolutely impossible for the Qi clan to take them into the mansion, and Zhang Yanyuan still understands her temper. That's the mother, no wonder there is a room full of tension.
