Forty-eighth
Since Cai Wei was able to return to her grandmother's side and serve Mrs. Tai every day, her thoughtfulness is no less than that of Yizhi, and Mrs. Tai saw that she was so careful and well-behaved, and that she was filial to herself, so she gradually became closer.
On this day, Mrs. Tai was served by her and used up a bowl of red japonica rice porridge, rinsed her mouth, and suddenly instructed Mama Wang to take out a few rulers to make her some clothes.
Cai Wei hurriedly wanted to bow and thank her, but was grabbed by Mrs. Tai and patted her hand, "Good child, my grandmother knows that you have been wronged these days, but she is afraid that I will be angry and guilty when I know, so I would rather ask Sister Hui to borrow clothes to wear, and even spend money to buy materials to make other clothes, just for fear that I will be annoyed when I see them taking clothes made of old materials for you." ”
"But my grandmother still found out." Cai Wei lowered her head a little embarrassed, and whispered: "If my grandmother really cares for me, I must take care of my body, didn't Elder Gu Hong say, I have to be a grandmother, we can only be children and grandchildren." ”
Mrs. Tai knew that this granddaughter was euphemistically persuading herself not to be angry, and then thinking about what Yizhi said to her a few days ago, she stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked: "What do you think is wrong with this ugly incident between your fifth uncle and second cousin this time?" ”
Cai Wei might as well that the old lady would ask her so directly, and she didn't know whether to talk about it or not.
Mrs. Tai saw her hesitation and said softly: "Your sister Zhi told me before that thanks to you, she can live more comfortably in Nafu now." She said that you are a smart person, and you can accompany me to talk to relieve your boredom, so I asked you casually. ”
Cai Wei pondered it again and again, but still said: "My grandson just thinks that it is too coincidental. ”
Mrs. Tai had already questioned the two of them in detail, and only then did she know that since the fifth master was demoted, because he was depressed, he was hooked by one of his classmates to go to the Qinglou for recreation and relieve boredom, and he actually went back and forth with a fan head there.
The fifth master said that the day before the birthday of the lady, the pink head ordered someone to wait outside the gate of the Guozi Prison, and he must invite him to sit down and listen to a new song she learned. He was afraid that it would not look good if the movement was too big, so he went. I just wanted to sit down for a while, but I didn't want to wake up after a few glasses of wine and see a bunch of officials coming to arrest him, as well as his nephew Zhao Yimeng.
As for the second young master Zhao Yiammon, it can be seen at a glance that he was framed, although he was not doing his business before, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, but the Qinglou had never been there, and it was also the day before Mrs. Tai's birthday, a friend of his who drank and meat said that there was a new powder head there, and he was born very tender, and he went there, and then after a few glasses of wine, he didn't know what to do, and when he woke up again, he was already tied up with his fifth uncle.
"How can there be such a coincidence in this world, those two who are not angry are all calculated by the family!" Mrs. Tai hated the authentic.
That evil obstacle is just relying on marrying a niece of Mrs. Zuo Xiang as a daughter-in-law, and he dares to harm her son and grandson with such a blatant design! She wanted to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, but it was a pity that she was a woman in the house with the same means.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but think of her second son who died young, if he was still here, how could that evil obstacle dare to be so presumptuous?
You must know that since Zhao Mingshuo grew up and became an official, even if he was far away in Fujian to guard the coastal defense, he also suppressed the Changfang side. Now that he has gone early, he still has two sons, one of whom was cheated by others and counted money for others, and the other was filial piety, but in the end he was not as good as his second brother, so he fell in the way of others. And since that ugly thing happened, he has lost his official position and suffered a board, and under the mixture of shame and anger, he has become ill and bedridden.
"I only hate that none of my two sons have anything to do, not only can they not suppress the boss's evil obstacles, but they are all calculated by others. If my son is still here, my lineage will not be as defeated as it is today! As she spoke, the tears came down from her eyes, and the loss of her own eldest son was a wound that she could never erase from her heart. It's easy for God to give her a shrewd and capable son, but he let him go early, and the rest of the sons are all unsuccessful, so who will she rely on for the rest of her life?
Cai Wei wiped away the tears on her grandmother's face, and gently persuaded: "I know that my grandmother is sad, but in the end, it is still important to the body, you are the Dinghai Divine Needle in this house, it is the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle who let you down, but you still have several grandchildren, and you may not be as shrewd and capable as the second uncle." ”
This sentence simply touched Mrs. Tai's heart, and Mrs. Tai patted her hand, "Don't worry, I can save it, that evil obstacle with a vicious mind also wants to use this incident to anger me to death!" Now that I have survived, I will never get what they wanted. It's just that in the end, the position of the prince of this Bofu was taken by his son Jun Ge'er. ”
Just two days ago, the current Anyuan uncle Zhao Mingyi handed over a month ago to ask for the title of the prince was beaten back, first reprimanded him for violating the law, although he has no son-in-law, but his wife has not yet reached fifty, how can he dare to ask for the title of the concubine. Then he reprimanded him for teaching his son no way, and his concubine Zhao Yiammon, as a five-grade acquaintance, ignored the law and prohibitions, and prostituted prostitutes. not only rejected his request, but also dismissed the official position of the fourth master.
Then another holy decree was issued, and Zhao Yijun, the grandson of the chief of the Anyuan Mansion, was established as the son, on the grounds that the Zhao family was awarded the title by military merits.
As soon as this holy decree was handed down, Aunt Liu cried so much that she almost didn't have her back of breath. I heard that in the past two days, the crying and scolding of the main courtyard have not stopped. That Aunt Liu either cried that her ammonium brother's life was miserable, and she saw that the position of the son of the world who was about to be handed over was yellow, or she scolded her son for not being angry, and the bastard who dragged her son to the Qinglou and ruined her son's future for the rest of his life.
Although this is excellent news for Cai Wei, there is such a big event in the fourth room, and she is too busy to take care of herself, at least she will not be in the mood to find her trouble in the future. But if it really makes the eldest lord gain momentum in this mansion, it won't be very good!
"Now my mother's family is weak, I'm afraid I can't count on it, although your second uncle's maiden family is a high family, but her brother has no real power in the court now, and the big house has hugged the big tree of Zuoxiang, and I am afraid it will not work to suppress the official position of the eldest lord from the outside as before. What should I do? Mrs. Tai seemed to say to herself.
"Wei girl, Sister Zhi often says that you are a smart person, with the most ideas, and the most able to share people's worries, have you thought of any way?"
"Hmm-" Cai Wei groaned slightly, "since you can't control that side from the outside, what if you think about it from the inside to dissolve them?" ”
When Mrs. Tai heard the words "dissolve from the inside", her heart moved, but after listening to Cai Wei, it was not in line with what she thought in her heart.
I listened to Cai Wei said: "The fourth uncle and the big house were too close before, which gave the other side a chance, and I don't know that after this incident, the fourth uncle and they can see that the big house here has never moved." Let's order a little bit of the fourth uncle and them, so don't let him be deceived by the big house again, after all, the current uncle is still the fourth uncle, if he understands how his son called his eldest brother to the pit, from now on he will not go to that side, the side of the vein is twisted into a rope, and he can also compete with the big house side. ”
Mrs. Tai nodded, "This is also a method, but your fourth uncle ......, alas! "Mrs. Tai is already extremely disappointed in this son. I feel that with his ability to think of ideas, even if he turns his face with the eldest master, he can't make any trouble, so he has to think of another way.
"I want to ......" Although she already had an idea, it was not good to say to Cai Wei, a little girl who had not yet left the pavilion, so she changed her words and said: "Okay, you are also tired of this day, and go back first to rest early!" ”
Cai Wei vaguely felt that Mrs. Tai seemed to have some idea in her heart, but it was not easy to ask, and after a few days, I heard that Mrs. Tai suddenly gave each of the three old men in the Bofu a concubine, and then she understood the method that Mrs. Tai did not say that day - to fight poison with poison!
