Chapter 12: Family Affairs (I)

The carriage turned past the Shunzhen Gate, and the Lin'an Hou Mansion was near. After a while, I heard the noise outside, and the mothers-in-law and maids in each room and courtyard were waiting at the door, helping the master to go back.

He Yan, Second Master He and Mrs. Tai said goodbye, and one went back to the main courtyard, and the other went back to the east across the courtyard.

Mrs. Tai pulled He Yan to explain: "Your daughter-in-law drank too much, she was naughty and hard poured by Yingyi, you are not allowed to blow her beard and stare at her." ”

After He Yan heard this, his face was gloomy and uncertain, so he had to nod his head in response.

Xingzhao looked indifferent, pulled over his skirt and squatted down to salute: "Father and mother, second uncle and second aunt are good." Then he turned around and helped Mrs. Tai and walked towards Rongshoutang.

The two little maidens in front of them were playing sheepskin horn lamps, and their shadows were stretched long and cast on the ground. or to hear the wind howling, and the sound of the leaves. As soon as he calmed down, Xingzhao's heart was like a mess, he lowered his head and counted his steps, one step at a time, and the closer he got to the main hall, the more dazzling the light in front of him became.

"Auntie, something is wrong with you coming out of the listening hall, I asked Su Qing to ask Lianyu, and Lianyu didn't say anything, just said that you were cold." In the silence, the old lady's voice had a sense of comfort that was not in a hurry.

Xingzhao lowered his head, listened to Mrs. Tai's words, was stunned for a moment, stared straight at the green bricks, shook his head first, nodded again, and then stopped speaking.

Mrs. Tai didn't ask, she was about to step into the main hall, Mrs. Tai waved her hand, the girls retreated, Lianyu looked at Xingzhao with concern, and Xingzhao nodded at her.

As soon as the girls exited the door, Su Qing pulled Lianyu over and was about to ask, but when she saw Lianyu holding back tears and secretly looking inside, Su Qing felt a pain in her heart and swallowed the words in her mouth.

There are only two remaining in the main hall, Xingzhao and Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai took off the big coat, Xingzhao took it and hung it on the flower stand on tiptoe, Mrs. Tai leaned on the kang and picked up the teacup: "Is it because of your mother?" ”

Xingzhao pursed his lips tightly and sat down in front of him with a brocade pestle.

The old man has never seen any storms, his eyes are poisonous, Xingzhao boasts of being a person in two lives, and he is sure that he is still trying his best to be calm and thoughtful today, but he didn't expect Mrs. He to see it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "Who brought you up?" Who knows best what kind of personality you are? After you returned to the listening hall, your hands kept shaking when you served the tea cup. After listening to the play, you go to see your mother. I've been laughing. ”

Mrs. Tai said as she pointed to her eyes: "That smile didn't reach this point." ”

Xingzhao has been thinking about whether to talk to Mrs. He in the carriage. Having said that, how will the elderly deal with themselves? The son and daughter-in-law are more important, and when they talk about the matter, what should the old man do if he can't stand it...

Xingzhao clenched his hands and closed his eyes, unable to choose. When I opened my eyes again, I seemed to be ruthless. He looked at Mrs. Tai with his eyebrows and eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Grandmother, the only person in the world who is most willing to believe is you." Today you are also tired, the last time you didn't rest and felt uncomfortable for a day, tomorrow morning, Ah Yu will definitely tell you everything. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the little granddaughter in front of her, shook Xingzhao's hand, the little lady's hands were cold to her fingertips, and then pulled her hair scattered between her sideburns behind her ears, and said softly: "Auntie, you just remember." No matter what happens, you always have a grandmother. ”

Rongshoutang finally turned off the lights and calmed down, but the second master's east courtyard will be noisy.

In the Yuehua Pavilion, Xingming was crying so much that he couldn't take his breath, so he threw the handkerchief in his hand on the ground, crying and saying, "I won't marry into the Huang family!" Whoever loves to marry will marry! Can the Huang family be a good one? The ancestor is a merchant! These two generations have only a chance to come out and start to be terrible! What is it! ”

"Look at your sprinkling face! Like a lady again!? Family affairs have always been the order of parents, where is the turn of a little lady to talk! It's not that your parents let you marry someone, you don't have to marry someone..."The second lady held her forehead, and counted her fingers and lines: "Look, our He family has a high lintel, but what kind of official is your father?" Is it knighted or cabinetd? Why don't better people want He Xingzhao to come and ask you? The Huang family has a shallow foundation, and a shallow foundation also has the benefit of a shallow foundation, as long as the He family is in one day, they will not dare to snub you for a day..."

Mother Liu, who was next to her, picked up the handkerchief and put it on the pineapple wood case, wrung out the handkerchief again, wiped Xingming's face, and said, "My girl! Have you ever seen a wife and wife discussing family affairs with a little lady? This is Mrs. distressing you! ”

Xingming's words were stopped, warm water was wiped on his face, but his anger was blocked in his heart, he felt that the Huang family was not a good place to go, and it was not good to say what Huang Sanniang said at the banquet, so he raised his hand and knocked Liu's mother's hand down, crying into tears: "Where is my mother distressing me!" It's pushing me into the fire pit! If Xingzhao is married equally, he will marry a noble family, and if he marries highly, he will marry a royal daughter-in-law! I don't dare to think about this, but I don't marry a self-righteous merchant! ”

The second lady laughed angrily, stood up, paced and said, "Good, good! I am the wicked stepmother, and I married my daughter into that fire pit! ”

After Mother Liu persuaded this side and that side, she sighed: "The third girl, this is poking your mother's heart with words!" What's more, if you don't look around and talk about it, where does the family come from? ”

Xingming was obedient and listened, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Then the matter with the Huang family is still not accurate?" ”

"I can't do it now! It was Mrs. Huang who started the beginning, and agreed to go to Dingguo Temple with the second lady to incense in two days. Mother Liu glanced at Xingming and motioned for her to coax the second lady.

Xingming heard other meanings from his words, and sneered: "The head of the Huang family... I knew that their family had bad intentions, and they couldn't climb the big house to climb our second room, no fish, shrimp, they had a good calculation! ”

The second lady sighed lightly, remembering that He Huan, the second master, was out of tune, and remembered that she was just discussing with He Huan and saying that the Huang family vaguely wanted to get married. He Huan agreed with a smile, who doesn't know, he just saw that Uncle Huang was in the household department, and he was good at drilling, and his official luck in the past few years had been prosperous, and Old Man Huang would speculate again, and he had a lot of money.

"You don't have a biological brother, and there is no one to support you in the future. When I help you talk about family affairs, just look down, you married low, and others dare not snub you. A woman is hard in her mother's house, and she can also speak in her husband's house. The second lady is quite exhausted, He Huan has no children, and she is often blamed when she speaks. She behaved arrogantly and capably in front of outsiders, and when she met He Huan, she always felt that she was at a loss.

Xingming sobbed and wiped away her tears, she didn't know the situation in the second room, and shook the second lady's hand: "I'm not annoyed by marrying low or not marrying low." I am not willing to marry into the Huang family, there are more people with low lintels, where do I have to look at the Huang family..."

"What's wrong with the Huang family? It is rare for a scholar to have a business in the family, and he marries someone to eat and dress. The Huang family has a thick background, so you don't have to stare at your dowry like a wolf. The Huang family Xiaolang is the eldest son of the grandson, and he is also a child, and now he is studying in the country, and his future is limitless. Mrs. Huang looks at her and can be a person, she is a kind person, not like a mother-in-law who can pinch her daughter-in-law. After calculating the past, the Huang family is the most suitable person in the church today. The more the second lady thought about it, the more she felt good, took a sip of tea, put down the azure old kiln tea cup lightly, and was just about to open her lips and say again, but she heard the sound of the red candle "boom", and couldn't help laughing: "The lights are bursting, good things are coming!" ”

Xingming listened to what his mother said more and more, and his heart was anxious, and he couldn't care so much: "You, mother-in-law is good or not, Lang Jun is also good, why didn't you count that the Huang family has a mean sister-in-law." ”

The second lady was stunned for a moment, but Liu's mother took the silver skewer to pick up the lantern flowers, and asked, "What do you say about the third girl?" ”

Xingming pursed his lips, watched the candle flame flash to the east, and then to the west, and said in a cold voice: "Huang Sanniang said at the banquet today that although I am surnamed He, I am not more decent than the serious He family, people look down on us, why should we go with that hot face... Go hum."

After all, she was raised by the Lin'an Hou Mansion, and her upbringing made her unable to continue, so she only snorted lightly and turned her head to stop looking at the candle flame.

Only then did the second lady understand, Yibi was reluctant to ruin this good family business because of a sister-in-law who was going to marry, and Yibi couldn't swallow Huang Sanniang's words, frowned, and was silent for a long time, Xingming waited for a long time before hearing the second lady say: "That's it, I'm tired for a day and go to bed first, and Ming'er will go to greet Mrs. Tai early in the morning, Mrs. Tai can always have an idea." ”
