Chapter 56: The Fourth Master of the Chu Family
Sister Hui said this, naturally, half of the answer in the old lady's heart could coincide, and it was the half she cared about the most, so she began to take the opportunity to talk to her about her daughter's upbringing, and said: "I heard Qiushuang say that the county lord of the day after tomorrow invites you to a small gathering, although the county lord is a guest in our house, and it is your sixth aunt's house, but in the end, I will be a guest, and I will also order Zhou's mother to prepare it for you, don't worry." ”
The old lady can be regarded as a slap and a date, Sister Hui immediately smiled, and said straightly: "Grandmother Xie is worried, if Sister Hui does these things by herself, it is unexpected, and on the way, I also talked with Moqin about what delicious food the county lord would get." ”
"You girl, you are so greedy." The old lady stretched out her finger and nodded at Sister Hui'er's head and smiled.
A room of laughter.
Not long after, Xiao Li brought his two younger sons and Sister Xian to ask for peace, although Sister Hui was now just a chess piece in the hands of the old lady, but Xiao Li was not used to seeing her, in order to suffer less gossip, he was ready to get up and say goodbye immediately.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Li's speed was so fast today, and he came in with a gust of wind and opened the curtain, and knelt straight in front of the old lady with his two sons, and shed tears before saying a word, "Mother, daughter-in-law is wronged." ”
After speaking, he hugged his red cheeks as if he was nothing, and hugged his son with one hand and cried.
"It's so good to talk, what to blame!" The old lady gave Zhao's mother a look and motioned to pull Xiao Li up.
Xiao Li waved Zhao's mother away, walked a few steps to the old lady, and hugged the old lady's purple robe, crying louder and louder.
Looking at the situation, Sister Hui'er's buttocks that had risen a few inches had to retract again, hanging her head, trying to reduce her sense of existence, and only one pair of ears was very focused.
"Mother, I married into the Chu family and had children, don't say that the two little ones are Sister Xian, I have been slow to treat you and sister-in-law one day, and how disrespectful you are to your sister-in-law, why does the master want to beat me and divorce me." After counting it carefully, I am afraid that Xiao Li really feels wronged, and the cry is even more energetic, if Fang Cai is just crying to the old lady, I am afraid that it will be more venting at this time.
"Shut up! Look at your appearance, where is there half of the temperament of the noble lady of the Hou Mansion, the whole market shrew. The old lady interrupted sharply.
This sound startled the two little ones, and Brother Hong and Brother Yi also cried vigorously.
As soon as these two hearts cried, the old lady must be soft-hearted, and Xiao Li's attainments in pinching the old lady have always been extremely high.
Sure enough, the old lady softened her voice and asked Zhao's mother to take the two brothers into her arms for a good meal, and the two little overlords gradually stopped crying.
"Say, what did the fourth child do?"
When Xiao Li heard this, he sobbed and took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the old lady, and then began to narrate the whole thing in a dumb voice.
It turned out that in recent days, although Chu Jinli went back to Shoukang Hall in the evening to ask his mother for peace, as soon as he walked out of Shoukang Hall, Xiao Li couldn't see anyone. It wasn't unheard of, and she knew it was the foxes outside who tripped his feet. But since she got married, she knew what she was marrying, to paraphrase her sister-in-law's heart-wrenching words, she never married Chu Jinli, she married an old lady and the entire Anning Mansion.
But in the end, they are also couples who have given birth to children, to put it rudely, those who have given birth to children are husband and wife, and those who have slept in the pit without children are at most good friends. So although she knew that everyone outside was good, after ten days and a half months, she was still used to this person coming back, even if it was a quarrel with her, it was better than being alone and desolate every night and watching other people's husbands and wives reconcile.
Since the fifteenth day of last month, the two of them have not seen anyone since they were in bed on the twenty-fifth of this month, so she panicked and asked the people below to go out to look for it, and this search found out something.
It turned out that Chu Jinli actually robbed Qinghe Hou of the two dramas that he had a fancy to, and now he is having a good time outside, where is he willing to go home.
"You said it was the person who Qinghe Hou took a fancy to?" When the old lady heard this, the Nanmu beads she had always held in her hand fell in response.
"Yes, yes."
This Qinghe Hou is either a bystander or a descendant of the current family, and it is also the family of the five princes and uncles who have been standing in line in Anning Houfu.
"Is it the person Qinghe Hou himself looks down on?" The old lady asked in a trembling voice
"No, it's the second young master of the Qinghe Hou family, the newly sealed Guangqu Bo recently." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and when she came back to her senses, she scolded angrily: "This unfilial son is a rebel. ”
"Go, and tell the steward to bring it back to me." The old lady pointed at Mother Zhao and said sharply.
"Go on, what else did that rebel do?" The old lady pointed to Xiao Li and said.
"Sister Xian and Sister Hui stand down." It was about to remember that his son's behavior was unbearable, and Xiao Li was a careless person, so he remembered that there were still two girls sitting in the hall, and ordered lightly.
The two of them got up in unison, answered, and turned to walk outside the house.
"The fourth sister doesn't cry anymore, crying hurts a lot, everything is decided by the old lady." Sister Hui is a little morally dissuaded from Sister Xian, who has been crying since she entered Shoukang Hall
"Where does the third sister understand my suffering, my mother is not on good terms with my father, but I can't share the slightest bit as a daughter, and it's really not a good feeling in my heart." After saying that, he continued to cry vigorously.
Sister Hui didn't believe this, and after saying something on the scene, she was about to leave, but she was grabbed by Sister Xian'er's arm, "The third sister now lives in Shoukang Hall to inherit her grandmother's favor, and I am afraid that she also needs to think about her grandmother's mind often, doesn't the third sister want to know a thing or two about such a big event happening at this time?" ”
As soon as Sister Xian finished speaking, she saw Qiao leading the maid beside her to hurry to Shoukang Hall.
"Third sister, I know that there is a row of privet trees on the left side of my grandmother's main hall, and it is absolutely fine for us to hide under there." After speaking, he waved at the maid who was following the two of them, regardless of whether Sister Hui was willing or not, he made up his mind to drag her into the water, and went to the back of the privet tree together.
Ligustrum can tonify the liver and kidneys, and has the effect of black hair, and the knot is festive, the old lady likes it, so she planted a row outside the lobby of this Shoukang Hall, and the trees grow tall at this time, but the leaves are still only sparse and sparse buds, but it can shade the two little girls, and can float out of the window The conversation in the lobby is indeed a good place to eavesdrop.
Sister Xian'er was right, she was really anxious to know all about the old lady and all the things in this Hou Mansion. Then he squatted behind the tree, raised his neck and looked straight from the windowsill to the hall.
"The master came back to quarrel with me, and then I knew, where is the play, in addition to the fairy girl, there is also her brother, it turns out that a pair of brothers and sisters are serving the master, and the sister is just that, the master has never seen anything stunning, but the brother is also born with a bad look, and has a good voice, when the daughter-in-law heard that he is often with the master, the voice "Xiao Li also felt that he couldn't go on, and gradually hid his voice."
Sister Xian'er was confused when she heard it: "Can the third sister know what is behind the second half of what my mother said 'that voice'?" ”
Sister Hui secretly sweated in her heart, fortunately, although she had never eaten pork in her previous life, she had never seen a pig run, but she didn't expect Chu Jinli's taste to be so heavy, and she actually liked three Ps, and the voice of singing must be the only "**" word.
"I didn't hear that either."
Sister Xian still wanted to say more, but it happened that the house remembered Xiao Li's words again, "Mother, you said that you have to divorce your wife for the sake of drama, you see, this is going home with a letter of resignation written in the morning, you said that over the years, where can your daughter-in-law not live with the master, where can she not live with the Chu family, and she will be driven out of the hall by a play." After saying that, the tears came down again.
The old lady didn't make a sound for a long time, and when she spoke again, she was a little hoarse.
"The third daughter-in-law, the second young master who asked you to find out about Hehou has found out?"
"Mother, time is in a hurry, my daughter-in-law only knows that the second young master Guangqu Bo of Qinghe Hou has indeed gone to the pear garden to make a play recently, but he only went to order the play of the brother and sister every day, and there is nothing to do, the fourth brother happened to meet the pair of brothers and sisters last month to sing, but he also wrapped it several times in a row, and the account room paid 10,000 taels of silver." Qiao Shi replied respectfully.
The old lady over there didn't know what her look was, the lobby was silent for a while, Sister Hui squatted on the ground, her legs and feet were numb, but she didn't dare to move at will, lest she be discovered.
"Old lady, the fourth master is back." Fortunately, before Sister Hui'er ran out of patience, Zhao's mother went back and forth, and Chu Jinli came back, so she gathered her energy again to listen to the movement inside.
