He had been for a long, long time, forcing himself not to think about his old home. He knew that he came here, the eldest wife gave him a lot of money in the family, his father died early, and his widowed mother worked hard, he hoped that his mother would not stay up late to do needlework, and he would walk the streets and alleys to wash people's pulp and clothes during the day, and hoped that his brother could continue to go back to school to study, and marry a virtuous and virtuous sister-in-law in the future, and hoped that his sister could have a decent dowry and marry a good family.
All of this needs money, and as long as he stays here, the eldest lady will not ask for it back, which is why he would rather dig bamboo shoots to satisfy his hunger than remain silent.
"As long as you do what you have to do, who can do anything to you?" She swallowed the second half of the sentence, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the long house crossed the river and demolished the bridge, the injustice came first, and what was there to be sorry for them.
Chu Xiuyi had nothing to say again, he didn't understand the current situation, he was just running away, but now someone clearly told him that the threat of death was imminent, as the saying goes, a rabbit will bite if it is in a hurry.
Xiusun saw his expression flickering and knew that he was shaken.
"Brother Eleven, I'll bury a burden tomorrow and bury it in the bamboo forest over there, remember to pick it up when you have time, I'll put more nest silk candy in it, eat more to warm up, if you want to go to the second old lady to catch koi, just eat a few more pieces and then go, the pond water is cold, but the pond water is not deep, you have to be careful."
The second old lady often called a few girls from the Chu family to guide calligraphy and painting in the past two days, of course, it was impossible to enter the second old lady's study, but the flower hall by the pond in front of his study.
Xiusun didn't want to show off her talent in front of the second old lady and be valued by him, so she often lay on the edge of the pond with Xiuyun Xiuqian to feed the fish, the pond was not deep, probably only to Chu Xiuyi's waist, and there should be no danger.
"You say, can the second old lady help me?" Chu Xiuyi was a little timid.
This is a gamble, Xiusun is a little girl, but what she said has a strong power of demagogy, Chu Xiuyi feels that she is driven crazy by her mother, so she will take such a risk.
Xiusun didn't have a good time talking, so she just said, "It should be, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, maybe you can go to school." "Actually, what Xiusun thought in her heart was, you are all mixed up like this, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be.
What's more, the second old lady can't wait to hold him, the heir of the long house, in the palm of his hand, of course, after this battle, it is inevitable that the compensation for the long house will be ceded by the long house, and when he inherits the long house in the future, he may not have so much property and prestige, but well, these can be said until he survives first.
They all forgot about catching sparrows that day.
――
In the early morning of the next day, Xiusun wrapped a large bag of candy snacks with an inconspicuous cloth head and three outer layers as agreed, and took the little magpie to the bamboo forest behind the yard mysteriously and buried it shallowly.
Chu Xiuyi's efficiency is very high, and she actually made a fuss that day, Xiusun was in the inner house, and she didn't hear about the chaos in the outer courtyard in time, only at lunchtime, she actually saw the old lady in the courtyard of the old fourth room.
"Grandmother! How did you get here? "Is there something going on at home? No, if something happens at home, they should call their sisters home.
The old lady sat on the Luohan bed and drank tea, pursed her lips and said, "The second old lady sent someone to spread the word, saying that the ancestral hall will be opened early tomorrow morning." ”
Xiusun chuckled in her heart, "What's the matter?" ”
The old lady squinted at her, "You still ask me, does this matter have anything to do with you?" How did Chu Xiuyi from the long house fall into the pool? ”
Xiusun exclaimed, my God, this eleventh brother is really a god, he was hesitant yesterday evening, but it was done early this morning, and the efficiency is really high.
But Xiusun didn't like to clap her hands and smile in front of her grandmother, so she had to pout, rubbed to the old lady's side little by little, and said, "Grandmother, you know everything, you're not angry." ”
The old lady choked, Ren's mother had already reported the matter as it was, she felt that it was inappropriate for Xiusun to do this, so rashly intervening, in case of chaos, it would inevitably be not beautiful, but she was very happy with this result, because of this careful thinking, she couldn't bear to blame Xiusun.
I had to cough, hide the embarrassment in my heart, and said, "You can't be so impulsive next time, you have to discuss it with your elders more." ”
Xiusun obediently taught her grandmother tea, "I know grandmother." "Appropriate assurances were made.
In the afternoon, Mr. gave a holiday, no classes this month, no classes next month, and then school after the New Year, when the weather is warm.
Xiusun Xiuyun Xiuqian was a few rejoicing, Qiu Xuedai, who had always been dignified and calm, suddenly fell into golden beans, and her classmates comforted her, only to know that her father had received an order, and she would go to Caozhou, Shandong next year to serve as a judge, and she would not be able to see everyone after the New Year.
Xiusun couldn't intervene, only watched from the sidelines, and a few older sisters comforted her for a while, saying something that she could keep communicating in the future, and that good sisterly friendship would last forever. Xiusun pouted on the side, it's strange.
Meng Yuan is a lively person, so she mentioned Qiu Xuedai to hold a snow appreciation banquet, and the sisters got together together. Qiu Xuedai was also eager to try, but she had no choice but to think of the narrow and simple courtyard in the backyard of the county government, so she had to regret and resign.
Although her father is the county magistrate, they are not the only ones who live in the backyard of the county government, and Master Li's wife is a broken mouth, if she says something unpleasant and collides with these boudoir daughters, her face will be lost.
Sent away the outsiders in the house, and when the sun rose the next day, the old and young masters of the family ushered in a major event, because it was related to the female dependents, the old ladies and wives in each room also attended the hearing.
Xiusun thought that it would take some effort to find out the details of the opening of the ancestral hall, but she didn't expect that the elders in the family didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, and one after another, every corner of the old mansion in Jiangpu heard a very comprehensive, very ups and downs, and a very happy story.
Since the eldest lady of the long house learned that she was pregnant with the eldest lord's widow, she began to see that the heir she had just received was not pleasing to the eye, not to mention the lack of clothes and short wear, and the mother-in-law in the yard practiced the heir, and the eldest old lady also acquiesced in this matter when she saw it, pretending not to know.
That day, the heir was hungry, ran to the pond in the outer courtyard to catch fish to eat, but almost fell into the water, fortunately was found by the second old lady's study, rescued, the child was really pitiful, when he was carried ashore by the little girl, he was still holding a foot-long koi in his arms.
When Xiusun heard this, she covered her mouth and snickered, she is the eleventh brother What a wonderful person, catch koi to eat? He figured it out.
The second old lady looked distressed, so he called the heir into the study to inquire, and when he heard what happened to him, his heartache was unbearable, and he immediately called Chu Changshi, the third old lady in the third room, and Chu Changyi, the seventh old lady in the second room, to come to discuss.
The two old ladies were also filled with righteous indignation, and then the third old lady of the third room, who was in charge of the family tree, summoned the elders of the clan to open the ancestral hall, and angrily denounced the vicious behavior of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house.
The eldest lady swore that she did not know about it, and put the blame on her daughter-in-law, and the eldest lady fainted on the spot and was carried back. The tire gas, which had been stabilized with great difficulty, was unstable again.
