Chapter 115: The Dust Settles
After Mrs. Shi went back, she cried in front of Shi Shangshu about how her daughter was angry in the Hou Mansion, and complained: "The husband said that the little Marquis of the Hou Mansion of Anxin was young and handsome and had a noble character, and today I look at it, the Hou Mansion of Anxin is all a generation of tigers and wolves, and just a wicked mother-in-law can torture Huiyun to death, my poor child!" A dignified young lady, competing to be abused like this, how can I bear this breath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Shi Shangshu frowned and scolded: "Crying and crying, what kind of system, what do women and Taoists know, I heard that the eldest brother of Marquis Cui returned to Beijing for the New Year this year, but on the way back, the little grandson died." I heard that his second son once went to the Hou Mansion with his son's body on the day of Shangyuan Festival, I wondered if this matter would have anything to do with my daughter. ”
Mrs. Shi retorted loudly: "What do you mean to have something to do with your daughter, whose father are you, ah?" Is there a person in the world who arranges his daughter like this? People put basins on Huiyun's body, and you can learn too? You are a dignified Shangshu lord, why don't you think of a way to save our poor daughter! ”
Shi Shangshu flicked his sleeves, snorted, and said coldly: "Don't think that the old man doesn't know, what dirty methods you taught your daughter, I told you a long time ago, don't use those dirty methods in the backyard, you don't listen, not only use it yourself, but also teach your daughter." If my daughter really does such a dirty thing this time, it's up to me to stop you. ”
Mrs. Shi felt weak for a while, and then she stiffened her neck unconvinced and said: "What's wrong with me, I don't want my daughter to live well in her husband's house, that is a fox, the little concubines and aunts don't rectify it, and they won't fly to the sky!" You dare to divorce me, okay, you divorce, divorce to get the little prostitute outside, you have no conscience, thanks to my father who appreciated you at the beginning, in order to pave the way for you, he took out all his belongings, and used up all the connections in the court, and now that you have become a scholar, you have to give up the wife of the chaff. If you dare to divorce me, see that I don't sue the queen and take off your Shangshu hat. Mrs. Shi cried with tears in her eyes, completely ignoring Shi Shangshu's face was so angry that she turned purple.
Shi Shangshu stretched out his fingers and pointed at her tremblingly: "You, you, you ......" You have been for a long time, probably because you don't want to swear, or you can't think of words to scold her for a while, and finally burst out with a sentence: "You shrew, I don't know as much as you." Then he ran away.
Mrs. Shi was arrogant, showed her female might, scolded her husband, and after seeing the person leave, she regretted it again, but where did she have the face to chase it back, and it seemed that she couldn't chase it back, her heart was sad, and she was worried that her daughter was still angry in the Hou Ye's Mansion, so she couldn't think about it for a while, so she simply cried.
And no matter how dark and miserable the backyards of the various mansions are, Cui Shuyan is back, and the Marquis and Mrs. Anxin are happy, they are afraid that the eldest brother will be angry with him, if the eldest brother Cui Zhongxin thinks of his dead grandson for a while, and has resentment in his heart, he will also kill Cui Shuyan to make the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou sad, this kind of assumption, Hou Ye and Mrs. are worried.
However, seeing that their son came back safely, the two couples suddenly felt that as long as their son was good, everything else was not so important. This time, the son brought a woman back, but Mrs. Hou no longer planned to scold her son, nor did she plan to rectify the woman, as long as the son liked it.
After Cui Shuyan came back, he didn't know where to put Hou Qiao'er who was brought back from Qingzhou for a while, so he had to send her to Taoyuan, which gave everyone a wrong signal.
Because there are already two girls living in Taoyuan, they are the two beautiful women specially selected for her son after Mrs. Hou sent someone to take Qian Yuning away last year. It's just that Cui Shuyan has always disliked them, so he didn't accept them. However, this does not hinder their determination to become aunts.
And the people in the mansion have always treated the two of them as the future aunts of the little marquis. Cui Shuyan wanted to arrange Hou Qiao'er to live in Taoyuan for a few days first, and then come to think about what to arrange for her to do after this busy period.
Unexpectedly, this time, everyone has already classified her into the circle of the little marquis's woman. Even Hou Qiao'er herself thought so, and after entering the peach orchard and getting acquainted with the two sisters inside, she became even more determined in her thoughts.
In this way, in the Hou Mansion, except for the little Hou Ye Cui Shuyan himself, all the people identified Hou Qiaoer's identity.
After Cui Shuyan came back, he told his father and mother what he had seen and heard in Qingzhou, and after Mrs. Hou Ye listened, her mouth flattened, and she glanced at Hou Ye and said: "I didn't expect that your eldest brother has such a ability, and he can cover the sky with one hand in Qingzhou, and now the people of Qingzhou are resentful of him, and I don't know if something happens to him in the future, will it affect us." ”
The old Hou Ye felt uncomfortable after listening to his son's words, and sighed all the time, but now when he heard his wife say this, he felt particularly harsh, so he yelled at Mrs. Hou Ye: "Women, what do you know?" Don't go out and talk nonsense, if I hadn't gone to the garden to drink you today, your big mouth would have been able to shake the ugliness of the house. I'm embarrassed to make a big fuss here. ”
Seeing that the old Hou Ye was angry, Mrs. Hou Ye didn't dare to speak anymore, so she just sat and drank tea and listened to their grandfather talk.
After listening to what his son said back and forth, the old marquis's face was not very good-looking, and he asked, "Yan'er, did your uncle really say that he wanted 500,000 taels of silver?" ”
Cui Shuyan said: "That's right! Dad, I also think it's strange, he is not short of money to spend, what to do with such a large sum of silver? ”
The old marquis's face was solemn, and he asked again: "Did you really see your uncle and his family?" Mustard dead? Or have you seen them bully men and women with your own eyes? ”
Cui Shuyan shook his head and said: "No, I heard about it in the market, and I don't believe it, but the nephew of the eldest uncle's mother really did it, and the father of Hou Qiao'er that I brought back was killed by his men." At that time, I saw it with my own eyes, and he still wanted to kill me together, but fortunately I brought a few guards from the house, otherwise I would definitely have confessed there, and he raised a lot of thugs, more than 100 of them, and it seems that he has not done this kind of thing on weekdays. ”
Cui Shuyan paused for a moment and said: "Also, later, when I heard the people discuss in private, I said that this Tan Quanquan controlled all the street gangsters and ruffians in Qingzhou, and they were actually colluded with the prefect of the uncle......" Cui Shuyan looked at his father's increasingly ugly face, and lowered his head as he spoke, not daring to say any more.
Sure enough, the old marquis pointed to his son and said: "Shuyan, how can you listen to this kind of market words, your uncle is always surnamed Cui, and he has been carefully taught by your grandfather with me since he was a child. The old marquis seemed to be unable to speak, so he stopped and took a sip of tea, took a few breaths, and then said resolutely: "Your uncle's behavior is a little deviated after all, but it will not be like this, your uncle will never do this." ”
Mrs. Hou Ye was on the side, silently flattened her mouth, and expressed her meaning, but she still didn't dare to open her mouth and count Uncle Cui again, otherwise the old Hou Ye would have to jump up in anger.
After saying this, Cui Shuyan said again: "Dad, when I leave, looking at the uncle's expression, it seems that he will not recognize us anymore, then, will our family still recognize him in the future?" ”
The old marquis sighed and said: "Admit it, how can you not admit it, your uncle doesn't have a grandson, and those who are angry are all handed down by an old ancestor, flesh and blood, where can you say that it will be broken." Your uncle is angry, that is, he has been angry for two years, and after two years, he will not be angry, and our family will go to Qingzhou to see him. ”
Mrs. Hou finally couldn't help but say aloud on the side: "If you want to go and see it yourself, I won't go." ”
The old marquis said angrily: "It's just right that you don't go, our two sons will ride horses, and you won't have to wait for you, who makes a sedan chair, every time you go out, you have to wait for half a day, and time is wasted on you." ”
Mrs. Hou Ye said unconvinced: "Hmph, what's the big deal, I won't take a sedan chair when I go out in the future, I will also ride a horse." It's not that I can't ride, huh. ”
The old marquis suddenly said: "Yes, you can ride a horse, the eldest lady from General Zhuo's mansion, how can you not ride a horse, you can not only ride a horse but also dance a sword!" Then, the old Hou Ye told Cui Shuyan about the fight between Mrs. Hou Ye and Mrs. Shi, and was so shocked that Cui Shuyan's eyes almost fell off, it turned out that his mother was so tough! Since he was a child, he has always thought that the sword hanging on the wall in his mother's room is a decorative thing, but he didn't expect that his mother would also know how to unsheath the sword.
Seeing her son staring at her in surprise, Mrs. Hou suddenly found that the gentle and virtuous image she had worked hard to create had been hit hard, so she couldn't stay any longer, and said to the father and son: "I'll go and tell the kitchen to cook." So he hurriedly took the maid's hand and left.
Cui Shuyan and his father glanced at each other, and suddenly, both father and son felt that such a mother and daughter-in-law were suddenly much cuter, why didn't they notice it before? The father and son shook their heads and smiled at each other. (To be continued.) )
