The twelfth round

It is the Duanyang Festival, because I heard some good news from the Ministry of Rites, this Duanyang Festival Mrs. and the five rooms are very comfortable, waiting for the happy news after the festival.

Coincidentally, on the day of the Duanyang Festival, two more ladies came to visit Bofu, one was Mrs. Huang, the sister-in-law of the fourth wife Li, and the other was Mrs. Liu, a former friend of the second aunt Zhao Mingxiang.

The two ladies naturally went to Mrs. Tai's side to greet the old lady first, and when they saw Yizhi and Caiwei, the two beautiful little girls who were accompanying them, they couldn't stop praising them.

Mrs. Liu took Yizhi's hand, looked at her carefully, and asked her some words. Mrs. Huang pulled Cai Wei to her side and smiled at her: "Good boy, I'm afraid you don't know that I also have some relationship with you." Before, when your mother was not out of the cabinet, I and I were the best, but then we each got married, and we went to and from place to place, and the correspondence gradually decreased. So I'm here not only to see my sister-in-law, but also to see you, who look like your mother! ”

Mama Guo also smiled and stepped forward and said, "Say hello to my wife, I don't know if my wife still remembers which old slave I am?" ”

Mrs. Huang looked at her for a long time, and said with a little hesitation: "Could it be that you are the maid named Ju Qing who often followed Sister Mingqiu that day?" ”

Mama Guo smiled: "Mrs. is really good memory, after so many years, I can't imagine that my wife has not forgotten me." ”

"Since I often think of Sister Mingqiu, I naturally can't forget you! But I remember that Sister Mingqiu said in the letter that she didn't eliminate your slavery and marry you off to be a lady, why are you still with Caiwei? ”

Mama Guo sighed: "It's also my life, I got married and just gave birth to a son a few days ago, my man was happy to have a son and ate a few more glasses of wine with his friends, I don't want to get drunk, stumble and fall into the river and just disappear, let alone my son died before the full moon, leaving me a widow unemployed, so I had no choice but to come back and beg my young lady." It was also the young lady who was kind-hearted, so she ordered me to be the little lady's nurse and gave me a bowl of rice to eat. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but sigh and sigh, and after a few words with Cai Wei, she first said goodbye to Mrs. Tai and went to visit her sick sister-in-law in the courtyard where the fourth master lived.

To be honest, she actually doesn't like to come to see her sister-in-law, and every time she sees her, she always cries and complains, not complaining that the fourth master favors the concubine, and often takes her dowry to subsidize Aunt Liu; is to complain about his own miserable life, first became a widow, and then married such an unobtrusive husband.

Sure enough, as soon as she came in, the fourth lady began to cry to her, "Sister-in-law, why do you say I'm so miserable!" Since I got married, I don't know how much of my dowry has been taken by him! He said that he wanted to take care of his future, but he asked me to give him all the dowry, and he was sure to make up enough five thousand taels of silver for him, and if it was not enough, he asked me to sell the dowry field and all the gold and silver jewelry. I now point to the annual income of this acre of land to live, and he still wants to rob it, who knows what he is going to do, and he can't just use this name to send expenses to his little wife. I had to ask Sister Zhi to beg the old lady, so that I could barely keep the remaining dowry fields I had.

"What kind of sin has I suffered in my life, I knew that it was better to marry such a person than to be determined to keep the festival when I was widowed, and I simply never married again, but it was clean, at least I didn't have to be so angry now......"

Mrs. Huang sat there, just drinking tea, half listening, she had seen this kind of scene a lot, and she didn't even bother to say more words of comfort and advice, and it was useless to say it horizontally and vertically. To put it mildly, her sister-in-law, in addition to only complaining a few words, is a human form barely pinched into a mess of soft mud, and she can't help it anymore, and this way of living is also her own choice.

On that day, because of her aunt, her husband's own sister married the fourth master of the Zhao Mansion for less than three years, she died of illness, and she suffered some grievances during this period. When Mrs. Tai of the Bofu came to the door in person to compensate for it, and wanted to marry a concubine of their Li family for her fourth son to continue the strings, the couple were very hesitant. Although she is a concubine, she can't be promised to such a husband, in this world where men are inferior to women and husbands are heavenly, what women are most afraid of is marrying the wrong husband. Her eldest sister-in-law was such a dignified and courteous lady, because she was married to a non-human, she left her daughter at a young age.

I don't want her sister-in-law, because her fiancΓ© who was originally married died of a sudden illness, and she has been widowed for three years, and she doesn't want to stay widowed for the rest of her life. When she heard this, she came to them and begged them to say that she was willing to marry her, so that she could take care of the young girl left behind by her own sister. Their husband and wife were also worried that if the fourth master married another woman as his stepwife, he was afraid that the stepmother would embarrass his niece.

How do you know that although the Li family was happy that day, she finally got married, but she regretted it for a few years, and now she just kept complaining to her sister-in-law: "I knew that today, I should have listened to my brother and sister-in-law, why did I lose my heart to lard at that time?" It must be that I didn't keep the festival for the first time for me, and I only kept the filial piety for him for three years and married someone else, and God punished me like this, woo woo woo ......"

Mrs. Huang was speechless when she heard this, so she had to comfort her casually, sat down for a while, and hurried out of her courtyard to go to the upper room to say goodbye to Mrs. Tai, but saw that Mrs. Liu was also saying goodbye to Mrs. Tai, so the two of them left together.

Mrs. Tai ordered Yizhi and Cai Wei to send the two ladies to the second gate, and saw that they were far away, before asking her second daughter: "I remember this Mrs. Liu, although she was good to you when she was a child, she didn't seem to come to walk with you often after getting married.

Second aunt's wife, Zhao Mingxiang, said with a smile: "I see, I'm afraid that people are not here for me today, but for Sister Zhi!" When she arrived at my small courtyard, she didn't say a few words to me, and the conversation turned to Sister Zhi'er. In and out of the words, I asked me about Sister Zhi'er, but I was afraid that it was for the children and nephews of the family to see Sister Zhi'er! ”

Mrs. Tai was displeased: "What nonsense! Now that her second uncle's filial piety has not passed, how can she discuss marriage? If she had come here with this in mind, I shouldn't have let her in!"

The second aunt and wife were busy and said: "I think she just saw that Sister Zhi was born well, so she asked a few more words, and her family is also knowledgeable, how can she talk about marriage at this time, it is intentional in her heart, and she will definitely wait for the filial piety period to mention it." Besides, although her mother is reluctant, Sister Zhi'er is old enough, and some things should be planned in advance. ”

What the second daughter said, how could the old lady not know in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's hard for you to think about this child, she is a ceremony in February this year, I wanted to follow her to kiss her, I don't want her second uncle to die in March, and when this year's filial piety is over, she will be sixteen after the year, but I don't dare to drag it out anymore." Her stepmother is useless at all, and as for her father, he is even more unreliable, I'm afraid he doesn't even know Zhi'er's birthday! Although I have always loved my grandson, Sister Zhi'er has been raised by my side since she was a child, and I have watched her grow up, which is naturally different from other granddaughters. When the time comes, I will earn this old bone, and I will definitely choose a good family for her! ”

A few days after the Duanyang Festival, the holy decree that the Zhao Mansion had been looking forward to finally arrived, and everyone was so panicked that they were busy arranging incense cases, opening the middle door, and waiting for the angels to come to deliver the decree.

It's just that this willβ€”

The chamberlain who passed the decree has been gone for a long time, but Mrs. Tai has not come back to her senses, didn't she say that the boss had already decided to pass on this title to Brother Ming? How could I hear that thin voice say that the title of Earl An Yuan was inherited by her fourth son, Zhao Mingyi, how could this be???

Even he got another position as a six-grade Taifu Temple? What the hell is going on???

Mrs. Tai only felt that she was almost unable to stand, and Mrs. Fifth also stood to the side in despair. It took so much time and so much effort, but the result was a bamboo basket for water? ?

In the end, the fifth master has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he knows some face kung fu, so he still goes to congratulate his second brother with a smile on his face, and wishes him this title.

At this time, the fourth master was really happy to come out of the corner of his forehead and eyebrows, and he was happy to smile on his cheeks, which made him smug and raised his eyebrows.

After a while, the news that the fourth master had attacked the title spread all over the mansion, and some people were happy and some were worried. If the most lost is the people of the five rooms, then the most smiling is the people of the four rooms, as the so-called one person has the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, and the four masters have gained power, and they will finally turn over with the four rooms!

I don't want to have three people in this house, although the name is the second room, but when I learned that the second room still lost this title, I was very happy.
