62. a sugar box
Chang Erye's concubine said that she was a little wife, but whether it was dress, conversation, or bearing, she was much better than Chang Er's grandmother. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If the two of them stand together, they will directly compare Chang Er's grandmother to a mother-in-law.
Cheng Linghui is recuperating from her injuries and is powerless to care about anything else. The matter of separating the family has long been decided, so she doesn't care how Second Master Chang discusses it with his uncle.
One evening, Zhizhou came back crying. Cheng Linghui asked and found out that it was because of a sugar box, Zhizhou, Zhiyu and the concubine's son had an unpleasant quarrel. Chang Erye didn't say a word, he beat Zhiyu, and scolded Zhizhou.
Cheng Linghui is very protective of this motherless child. But she's not an unreasonable person. The heart says that it's just a sugar box, and if it is broken, it will be worth paying one, so you can use it so much?
At that moment, he took a sugar box and led Zhizhou to find Chang Erye.
Second Master Chang is coaxing his concubine's baby, and I don't know if it's called Zhifang or Zhiyuan. Zhiyu cowered in the corner and cried, like an abandoned puppy.
Cheng Linghui was a little overwhelmed at first, but after all, she was someone else's child, so she didn't have much to say.
She walked over and handed over the sugar box in her hand: "Second brother, this is a new one." Take it and coax the child. Zhizhou is not sensible, I will teach him, and I will not bother the second brother in the future. The tone involuntarily became a little stiffer.
Second Master Chang stopped coaxing the child, and looked at Cheng Linghui: "What do you mean?" I can't teach my nephew a lesson when I am an uncle? ”
Cheng Linghui couldn't get used to his obviously eccentric appearance, and said: "When I didn't have me before, you just beat and scolded. But now, no matter how good it is, there is still me this mother, isn't it? If Zhizhou really made a big mistake, I won't say anything. Isn't it just a sugar box, is it worth being a second brother, you are so angry that you are beating and scolding? ”
Chang Erye can't look down on the daughters of small families from the roots, just look at how he treats his wife. After listening to Cheng Linghui's words, he sneered and said, "Since you said this, don't say that I'm bullying you as a big uncle." If you can really compensate for that box, I'll compensate Zhizhou today. ”
At this time, the second master's concubine came out and persuaded: "Second master, what are you doing here." No matter how you say it, it's a sugar box, which really makes the younger siblings pay for it, and it is passed out to teach people jokes. ”
Cheng Linghui is not the first day to enter the door of this big family. She knows the rules of big families. She is the third grandmother of the Chang family, this woman is just a concubine, and she dares to call Cheng Linghui's younger brother and sister, which shows that she is not a person who abides by the rules.
If it is normal, Cheng Linghui will not be careful. But she wasn't in a good mood today. In addition, Chang Jiwen was caught by bandits, and Chang Erye's thought of falling into the well made Cheng Linghui very unhappy.
She is not a second sister, and she holds everything in her heart. Others make her uncomfortable, and she has no reason to make others happy. Snorted coldly: "Who are you?" Do I know you? Why don't I know when a woman like you will appear? ”
The concubine's face sank, and then she smiled again: "Brother and sister are really good at laughing, aren't I your second sister-in-law?" ”
"Phew." Cheng Linghui took a sip: "My second sister-in-law is lying in the house, how old are you?" ”
The concubine's face was a little unbearable, and she sneered: "I kindly persuaded the second master not to worry about you, what do you mean?" ”
Cheng Linghui didn't give her face at all, and said: "Let's talk, it's not your turn to make noise on the side." ”
The second master said with a calm face: "What nonsense, don't you want to pay for the sugar box?" Bring. ”
Cheng Linghui handed over the sugar box in his hand: "New one." ”
The second master didn't answer, 'hehe' laughed, and the concubine also laughed. There was disdain in his eyes. said: "My third grandmother, you can be funny." Your sugar box can't top my one. ”
Cheng Linghui said: "That gold of yours hit?" ”
The concubine said: "Although it is not gold, ordinary people have money and have nowhere to buy it." It was rewarded by the palace. ”
When Cheng Linghui heard this, she felt that she might have to plant it today, but she has always lost people and not lost battles. He stiffened his neck and said, "What a good thing, take it out and teach me a long way to see." ”
The concubine told the little girl to take a box out of the room. Cheng Linghui swept his eyes, why is the box so familiar? I couldn't help but smile when I looked at it again. Doesn't this box look familiar? The lotus seed candy that Su Tong gave her was packed in this kind of box.
"I'm a precious object. It turned out to be this. Cheng Linghui snorted lightly and said to Chang Zhizhou: "You go and bring the sugar box under our table." The sugar in it has been left for a long time and cannot be eaten. Remember to pour it out. ”
Chang Zhizhou slipped away, and after a while, he walked in with a box that was exactly the same as the concubine's hand. It's just that this box is covered with dust.
Cheng Linghui took it and blew it smoothly. Suddenly the dust was flying. So, I had to pick up a fallen leaf and wipe it on the box. Give the box to Chang Zhizhou and ask him to hand it to Second Master Chang. Chang Zhizhou shrank and didn't dare. Second Master Chang had already walked over by himself, took the box from Chang Zhizhou's hand, looked at it over and over again, and asked, "Where did you get it from?" ”
Don't blame the second master for being strange. This kind of box was made by the governor of the palace, just like the gold and silver barley rewarded in the palace during the New Year, which are all noble families and can only be obtained by children in the family. None of the ordinary officials.
The box itself is not valuable, but it is precious because it is something that comes out of the palace. It is said that this thing is to be offered in ordinary people's homes, and for some reason it was used by three children to play with and broken. It's no wonder that Second Master Chang is not angry.
Chang Erye took Cheng Linghui's sugar box and looked at it for a long time, and compared it with his own for a while. Only then did he raise his head and look at Cheng Linghui: "It was given to you by the third brother, right?" Except for Chang Jiwen, who was an official, he really couldn't think of where Cheng Linghui could get this kind of box.
"Then you don't care." Cheng Linghui smiled, undisguised her contempt for him: "It's not just a thing to coax a child, what does it matter how it came about?" The second brother took it, and if it was broken, I would still have it. ”
Cheng Linghui is not bragging, there are really two more at home. One was left when the road was closed by heavy snow and left when Su Tong walked in Shilipu. She is one, and Sun Xinglong is one. The other was that she went to Kaizhou Mansion for Xiuwen to find Su at the same time, and Su Tong forced it into her before leaving. This was given to Chang Erye, which was given by Su Tong when he left Beijing.
Thinking about it now, Su Tong seems to like to eat lotus seed candy, and he likes to give it away.
"Just blow it." Chang Erye also looked down on Cheng Linghui even more, in his eyes, even if it was a sugar box, it was also imperial. The village woman did not say anything about it, but let it be dusted at will. Now he gives it to others casually, which is simply ignorant and stupid, and he is a loser.
Although he thought that the two brothers in the family were burdensome, he wanted to separate the family. But Chang Jiwen is his younger brother after all, and he still cares. I want to teach this ignorant village woman a lesson for my younger brother. The words couldn't help but be imposing: "Do you know how the third brother of this box worked hard to get it?" Do you know how precious this box is? ”
Cheng Linghui really didn't think that a box was anything precious, if Chang Erye told her calmly, she would still listen to it, but Chang Erye talked to her so aggressively, she didn't have the patience to be taught. Snorted coldly: "You're wrong, I brought this thing from my mother's house." It's useless for me to look at it, so I'll play with the two children. My children didn't like it, so they threw it under the table. If it weren't for the second brother's anger today because of this, I would have forgotten about it. If the second brother thinks it's precious, just take it and offer it. Anyway, it's for your family, and it has nothing to do with me. If you don't have one, I'll have to find it for you. I just put these inappropriate things in my hands, and I don't even know where to put them. ”
The more she said it was an understatement, the more ugly the color on Second Master Chang's face became. Even the concubine's face was not good.
Cheng Linghui successfully embarrassed Second Master Chang, and he didn't really plan to let Second Master Chang apologize to Zhizhou. Cheng Linghui has read the books of sages, and she still understands morality and ethics. took Chang Zhizhou's hand and said: "If Zhizhou does something wrong in the future, the second brother just sends someone to tell me." I don't care for a calf for no reason. After speaking, he glanced at the child born by the concubine and led his son away. Leaving Chang Erye with a sugar box in his hand, it took a long time to come back to his senses: "Ability? "But he was angry in vain, and he couldn't do anything with Cheng Linghui.
