Chapter 45: The Turmoil of Confession (2)
The smell of incense made Jinyu almost cry. What does that mean? How can there be such a miasma in the patient's room? Mrs. Zhang's expression was also a little ugly: "What about the night guards in the house?" Who smokes it? At one time, a girl who looked like a big girl came out, and when she saw Mrs. Zhang, she hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Mrs., it was Mrs. Gu who let me smoke, saying that I was going to get sick!" After being choked and coughing, Master Zhang couldn't help but scold angrily: "Nonsense! Hurry up and put everything away! So the girls in the house went in a hurry. Old lady Zhang was lying on the bed, and the faint light in her squinted eyes proved that he was still alive. After Jinyu and Zhang Zizan kowtowed to him together, Jinyu offered two old ginseng plants brought from her mother's house. The two old ginseng plants have the thickness of their arms, and they are of the highest grade at first glance. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but praise when she saw it: "This kind of old ginseng is rare, and I'm afraid it's rare on the market." You kid, your heart is really sincere! Master Zhang also smiled approvingly at Jinyu. Jinyu replied respectfully, "Grandfather's body is weak, so he should take care of it. When Jinyu went out, her father explained that filial piety must be the most important! Although this old ginseng is rare, in the end, it is still the grandfather's body that matters! The words were praised by everyone in the room.
After a while, the people from the second old man's family also came to say goodbye, and the uncle of the Zhang family and the eldest and young grandmothers came at the latest. Master Zhang's face was a little ugly at his eldest son. However, there were many people, but there were no seizures. Jinyu Yili saw them one by one, and then went back to the room with Zhang Zizan. The rewards of Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang are appropriate, but they are just a purse and a pair of bracelets, and the things are not bad, nor are they particularly valuable. The things of the second master Zhang and his wife are not bad, because the old lady is seriously ill, he has taken leave at home and stayed away from the court. However, judging from what he gave Zhang Zizan, he has high hopes for the younger generations in his family. The inkstone he gave was a rare treasure, and as soon as he made a move, Zhang Ziqian, the uncle of the Zhang family, couldn't help but praise: "Uncle is really generous!" Second Master Zhang smiled and said, "Don't you hope that the second child will have a future?" "The second lady of the Zhang family gave Jinyu a brocade of Shu splendor. Although the thing is small, it is rare to find that Shu brocade. And the flowers and birds on the brocade can be seen at a glance from the hands of famous artists. After Jinyu took it, she solemnly thanked her. Second Mrs. Zhang knew that Jinyu was a knowledgeable person, so she couldn't help but feel sorry for each other. The daughter of the Gao family is different in the end. And Zhang Dashao's grandmother Dong, who was standing on the side, obviously didn't see the mystery of the handkerchief, but just covered her nose and chuckled. The second aunt never forgot to show off her craftsmanship, such a handkerchief, where is a pair of golden hairpins valuable? I think that when she was newly married, the congratulatory gift she received was a pair of pure gold hairpins with good texture. Maybe it's been a long time, and the second aunt forgot about it. That's how I fooled my younger siblings. Her disdain was revealed in the eyes of Second Mrs. Zhang, but it only aroused more serious contempt from the other party: "The daughter of a merchant family, her vision is really limited. "Jinyu doesn't have time to pay attention to these cautious and small emotions. There's a big family waiting for her to get to know.
The Zhang family is a total of two old brothers, and one is a daughter, who is the one who made trouble early in the morning. The rest of the concubines were divided early. Now the fifth and fourth children who come to greet the old lady are the third and third who died of illness a few years ago. The concubines are distinct, and the brothers are not warm to each other. Master Zhang is the current patriarch of the Zhang family. In addition to Uncle Zhang and Zhang Zizan's two sons, Master Zhang also has two daughters, but they are all concubines. Second Master Zhang has three daughters, and only one son, but he is a concubine. The son of the concubine is now raised under the name of Mrs. Zhang, and the treatment is similar to that of the concubine. Second Mrs. Zhang takes her with her everywhere, and now she is only seven or eight years old, and it is the time to be naughty. And Uncle Zhang and the eldest and youngest grandmother Dong also gave birth to a daughter, and there is also a concubine. The Zhang family is very clear about the division of concubines, so on big occasions, they can't see the faces of the so-called concubines. After Jinyu met the uncle of the Zhang family and the grandmother of the eldest and younger grandmothers, she greeted the three young ladies of the second master Zhang's family. Different from the jasmine I saw in the mountains, these three young ladies are very polite and dutiful, and they look like everyone's beautiful style. And that Zhang Qilin, that is, the old man of Second Master Zhang, was born to his favorite concubine. She has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she is very cute. He has always been tired of being by Mrs. Zhang's side, and he didn't move at first, but when he saw Jinyu sending a red envelope to Zhang Lan, the daughter of Uncle Zhang's family, he suddenly began to shout: "Niuniu has it, I want it too!" All of a sudden, the audience burst into laughter. Zhang Zizan joked that he was not ashamed and fought with his little niece. He is indeed serious: "She is a child, and I am also a child, why don't I have it?" Jinyu was very well prepared from the beginning, and naturally met his requirements very well. A meeting and recognition party was warm and lively, from beginning to end, the aunt did not show her face, and Jinyu was naturally happy not to ask.
Back in the upper room, Mr. Zhang asked his grandmother who was in the old lady's house in the morning: "Sure enough, the second young grandmother sent Mrs. Gu away?" Grandma Sun said: "Yes, the second young grandmother is witty, and she quickly persuaded Mrs. Aunt!" Then he recounted the scene in the courtyard in the morning. Master Zhang nodded when he heard this, and let her go down. After she left, he said to Mrs. Zhang: "The second daughter-in-law is really good. In the future, you can't let the third sister mess around. Mrs. Zhang's face was a little red, and she said, "Jasmine looked good when she was a child. How can she be so willful now, the third sister is still indulging her. Master, only what you say works, Jasmine, you still have to hurry up and find her a good family. Master Zhang nodded, and then asked, "What's going on with everyone today?" Came so late? Are the two of them annoyed again? Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "There is something big about it, but the boss can't stand it, and he spent the night in the golden incense room." The eldest daughter-in-law can't get by. When Master Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "When is it now, and you are still talking about these little things!" The boss too, grandfather is like this, he still has the heart to have fun! Mrs. Zhang was unconvinced and said: "Jin Xiang is a girl who grew up with the boss since childhood, we have already passed the bright road, and we gave birth to Wan'er." The boss just went to live with her for a night and a half, so what's the big deal? The eldest daughter-in-law can have half of the girl's mind to the boss, as for the husband and wife, is it so awkward? Master Zhang sighed when he heard this, "I knew that I would find a scholar for the boss to be sensible, maybe it wouldn't be like this." Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "Without the support of the Dong family's money, how did the second uncle stand in the court back then?" Master Zhang sighed when he heard this. At that time, the Dong family took the initiative to ask for marriage, because the Dong family was the richest man in the party, and the second master Zhang needed a huge amount of wealth in the court. The daughter of the Dong family, the current grandmother of the Zhang family, is actually not a big problem, but because she has been pampered since she was a child, she has a big temper and is a little willful. The characters are also very good, and when they first got married, they also had a good time with Uncle Zhang. It's just that after a long time, the temper comes out, and it begins to gradually become unpopular. The girl named Jin Xiang is a girl who has been serving Young Master Zhang since she was a child, she is beautiful, her temper is indeed indescribably good, she has always been gentle and considerate to the eldest young master, and she knows how to serve the old lady. Therefore, after the eldest and youngest grandmothers became pregnant, they were allowed to serve the eldest and youngest masters. started as a girl in the room, and now she has been seriously raised as a concubine. For her sake, the husband and wife did not quarrel less. Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang are not persuasive, nor are they scolded. Because they have used the Dong family's silver, they often pretend to be deaf and dumb in some of the practices of the grandmothers. Only when it was too much, Master Zhang came forward again and scolded the little two together.
"Mrs. Gu didn't quarrel with the second young grandmother?" Dong sat on a chair in the side compartment, fiddling with the gadgets in front of him, and couldn't help but be curious. "No, it is said that the second young grandmother only said a few words before letting the aunt help his wife away." The one who replied was Dong's personal girl Chun Tao. "Oh, it seems that this second young grandmother still has a set. But no matter how good she is, it is estimated that she can't grind Jasmine's girl. Dong said absentmindedly, and suddenly said, "What time is it?" Why haven't you seen Jin Xiang yet? She only has the uncle in her eyes, and doesn't she have me? When she said this, her face was extremely ugly. Chun Tao glanced at her cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, have you forgotten that Uncle Jin Xiang didn't have to come to serve today." Miss Wan'er is not in good health. Dong slammed the things on the table on the ground: "Slut, but you won't serve for a day after a slap?" It's beautiful! Her daughter is not in good health, but she is still in the mood? Fool whom? When he said these words, Dong couldn't help but rush out of the house. Chun Tao persuaded him on the side: "Grandma, don't do this!" The more you hit the golden incense, the more the eldest young master will protect her. It's better for you to treat her a little better, maybe the eldest young master's heart will be a little towards you. "Bah, that slut knows all day long that the demon in the dress is disgusting to me, so he only deserves to pour me footwater. Do you want me to be nice to her? Dream! Dong was so angry that he almost didn't choose to speak. Seeing that it was not a problem, Chun Tao had to whisper: "Grandma, haven't you always wanted a son?" Now is not the time to be angry with that slut, only by restraining the heart of the eldest young master and letting him live in your house for a while longer, you can have hope! If you let her husband have a son, won't you gain more than you lose? Speaking of his son, Dong's expression calmed down a little. When she was at home, her mother reminded her many times how important it was to have a son. Because she did not give birth to a son, her mother can be said to have endured all the hardships, and she had to accompany the smiling face to buy one concubine after another for her father. It took a lot of scheming to make himself his father's only child. Now, the first one she gave birth to was also a daughter, and before she gave birth to a son, her husband's heart seemed to have been taken away by that little concubine. How good is that? On the surface, the in-laws seem to be helping themselves speak, but in fact, there is no shortage of what the concubine should have. Dong felt angry when he thought about it. Now Uncle Zhang Ziqian rarely enters his house once a month, sometimes when he comes in, the two of them can't say three sentences, and they have to quarrel, and he lives in the study most of the time. Yesterday, she heard that Jin Xiang's cheap concubine actually used the excuse that her daughter was sick and left her uncle in the house for a night. She couldn't get angry for a while, so she went over and slapped her twice, and Zhang Ziqian looked like he was going to swallow her alive. If it weren't for the fact that today was a big day to see the bride, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy for the two of them to stop.
