Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fight Begins
Qiu'er is the fourth lady Su Wanqiu born to the eldest lady of the Su family, and there are two more in front of her and Su Wanqing, both from the big house, one is the eldest lady's concubine, and the other is the daughter of the aunt, who has been married one after another in the past two years.
Miss Su is the eldest daughter of the Su family, needless to say, how much attention is paid to her family affairs by the Su family, Mrs. Su is very good at hypocrisy, and will not treat the second lady harshly on the surface, so even if the two were not married at that time, the right match was the most basic, and it was much better than Su Wanqing to be a side room.
But who knows, Miss Su's husband's family has been affected by the gradual retreat of the old ministers and the redrawing of the camp by hundreds of officials in recent years, and it has shown a downward trend; Miss Su Er has been childless for many years, and she has increasingly lost the attention of her husband's family, and her life is not smooth. Looking at it now, it seems that the two are not as happy as Su Wanqing after marriage.
These two family affairs have always made the eldest lady feel that her face is dull, and at this moment, listening to what the third lady said, her face immediately changed red and white. However, she never said anything about a gun and a stick in front of people, and she only endured it when she heard it, and did not take the stubble of the third lady.
Old Mrs. Su wanted to help her eldest daughter-in-law save two points of face, so she raised her eyes and glanced at the third lady, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about your sister-in-law, with this idle time, you can teach the five boys well and I will be Amitabha, look at how he looks like a child of a family?" The fish raised in my yard were choked to death by the steamed buns he fed a whole two tanks, and I heard that the day before yesterday because Mr. Xixi punished him for copying books, he secretly peed in people's shoes, is there such a thing? β
The third lady didn't think she was angry when she heard this, but covered her mouth and smiled, "Mother, don't be angry, I will definitely punish him well when I go back, don't you know, your grandson is not a piece of reading material, and so is the gentleman, Cheng Ri found a reason to punish him, and even his hand board was swollen." β
If it was someone else, they would never dare to talk to Mrs. Su like this, but the third lady is different, her grandmother is Mrs. Su's aunt, as the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, although Mrs. Su doesn't necessarily have any preference for the third lady on weekdays, but she is also much more tolerant than others.
Seeing that she had already recovered a few percent for the eldest lady, Old Madam Su did not continue to delve into the mistakes of the third lady, but only snorted lightly.
The third lady covered her mouth and smiled, suddenly remembered something, and asked Xiao Jiang: "Second sister-in-law, Lin Lu seems to be going to be out in the next year, what are your plans with the second brother?" β
"Well, the second master is trying to send him to the Gyeonggi Terrach Camp for training." Xiao Jiang glanced at her and slowly put down the tea bowl.
The third lady nodded and said with a smile: "I think so, this path could not be smoother for the military attachΓ©." β
The soldiers and horses of the Great Qin were divided into four, namely the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army, the Gyeonggi Soldiers and Horses Battalion responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi, the Central Guard Army assigned by the Imperial Court to guard in various places, and the private soldiers in the hands of the vassal king. Among these troops, the errand belonging to the Gyeonggi Terracotta Battalion was the best, and Su Mu also rose step by step from there back then.
Xiao Jiang smiled, agreed with her words, paused and said: "It's just that now there are more and more people entering the army and horse camp, and what he can do in the future depends on his own ability." β
"What the second sister-in-law said is that fortunately, Lin Lu is a good person at a glance, which is like my unsuccessful son, if you want him to stand out with knowledge, I am afraid that there is no hope in this life......" The third lady sighed helplessly, looked at Xiao Jiang's expression and said: "Now I have also moved my mind, and if I can't, I simply let him join the martial arts, it just so happened that the day before yesterday, my father went to the banquet with Mr. Cheng Zheng and got a chance to apprentice, I have asked my mother for this place, if he really takes this road, I hope that the second brother and Lin Lu will take care of it more in the future." β
Xiao Jiang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Cheng Zheng's name, because he was a guest before Emperor Zhongzheng succeeded to the throne, and his martial arts were extremely strong.
But soon, Xiao Jiang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "This is natural, and with Mr. Cheng's careful cultivation, the third brother and sister can rest assured." β
Su Wanqing listened to the conversation between the two and found that it did not match her impression, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Su in the upper seat, and saw that she was opening her mouth, as if she was going to say something.
At this time, the eldest lady in the old lady's room, Xiangli, walked in from the outside curtain, her steps were very hurried, and she quickly glanced at the eldest lady and the third lady, and then saluted: "Old lady, it's not good!" Just now, the maid came to report that the fourth young master and the fifth young master had a fight in the garden! β
"What?!" When the third lady heard this, she was anxious, stood up with a swish, glanced at the eldest lady who was still sitting, and realized that she was a little out of shape and paused.
The old lady was also stiff when she twisted the Buddha beads, and her expression was slightly cold: "What's the matter, they don't go to Wenshu at this hour, what are they doing in the garden?!" β
The eldest lady heard that it was her youngest son who was fighting with the fifth young master, and she was also a little uneasy between her eyebrows, but she still sat down in a regular manner, and said cautiously: "Back to my mother, when Qing'er returned to the door today, I thought about the excitement, so I gave a few brothers a short vacation." β
Seeing them sitting still, Xiangli was a little anxious, and said: "Old lady, let the eldest lady and the third lady go and take a look, the two young masters are fighting fiercely, and they can't pull it away!" β
The ladies present thought it was a small fight between the juniors, but when they saw that the matter was more serious than expected, they were all stunned.
The third lady almost jumped up, and she didn't think that her son had always been a tyrant in the house, but she was afraid that he would be beaten up, so she rushed out of the door straight.
The eldest lady knew that the fifth young master of the third room was powerful, and she couldn't sit still, so she got up and said, "Mother, the two brothers are still young, I'm afraid that there is no seriousness, I'll go out and have a look." β
Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly waved her hand, signaling her to go quickly, and said to Xiangli: "You go too, and when you pull away, bring the two young masters over, don't disturb the front yard." β
Xiangli followed in response, and the rest of the ladies glanced at the old lady with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Su Wanqing quietly paid attention to everyone's expressions, her heart moved slightly, and she thought about it secretly. She has been watching coldly at noon, and she can see that these women's tricks are still limited to the picture and mouth, and they stop at the point, not to the point of-for-tat.
If there is a big chaos in the Su family's house, I wonder if some people in the Su family can still calmly plan for big things? Su Wanqing thought of this and thought about it.
