Chapter Eighty-Five: Shot
Tang's mother complained in front of Chang's, Chang's heart was moved when she heard it, and she didn't dare to procrastinate, so she dragged her sick body to the second room the next day.
Liao was still sick in bed, but he didn't dare not see Chang.
Chang scolded all the people and others out, and talked privately with Liao behind closed doors.
Mother Shi, Mother Yu and others were all guarding outside the door, and they didn't dare to breathe.
After almost half a pillar of incense, the door creaked open, and Chang walked out and said, "Let's go, Mom, we have to clean up the long house too." ”
Mother Shi immediately stepped forward to hold Chang's hand and walked out.
After sending off Chang's, Yu's mother slipped into the house, only to see Liao sitting on the bed in a daze, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had cried.
Yu's mother didn't know what Chang said to Liao, so she didn't dare to speak lightly, for fear of touching the master's mold.
After Yu's mother came in for a while, Liao Shifang came to his senses, turned his head, and said to Yu's mother: "Mom, you go to Youning Pavilion, send those good easy-to-move furniture to Yurong Courtyard and Xiuxuanzhai, clean up the ear room of Sister Lan's bedroom, and make it into a Buddhist hall. He added: "Spread my words again, if there is a criticism of the master in the second room, once it is found out, the family law will serve!" ”
Yu's mother listened to Liao's instructions, and she had some calculations in her heart, according to Liao's past temperament, she would not make these arrangements, presumably Chang said something. But the master doesn't say it, and the slave doesn't dare to speculate, otherwise according to Liao's temperament, if he says the wrong thing, he will be hated. So he didn't say anything more, but took the order and went out.
The Liao family called Mo He in again and said, "Mrs. Liao came over a while ago, but you passed the word to her according to what I said?" ”
Mo He said honestly: "Mrs. Yu, that day Mrs. Liao was waiting outside the second gate, the slave maid invited Mrs. Madame's instructions, and then told Mrs. Liao what Mrs. Liao said, Mrs. Liao didn't believe what the slave said at first, and insisted that the slave didn't tell Mrs. that she came to visit, and said something unpleasant at the door. ”
Liao asked again, "What did Mrs. Liao say?" You tell me one by one. ”
Mo He hesitated for a moment and said, "This is really not good......
Liao Shi was impatient and said, "If you want to say it, just say it!" ”
Mo He had no choice but to say: "Mrs. Liao said that the Chu family vainly respected itself as a Northwest family, but they acted unscrupulously, and they did not admit it when they changed the girl who proposed their relatives without permission, and only blamed others. He also said that the three girls had a hard life, and they killed their parents, that is, their own relatives came to ask for marriage......"
Liao Shi trembled when he heard this, and said, "What a relative of his own!" Originally, they also mentioned that we were doing a thing or two, but in the end, they hit a target, and it was in vain to mention them more in the past......"
The master said that he was in his mother's house, but Mo He didn't dare to answer, so he just stood silently on the side.
Liao's no longer insulted, and asked Mohe to take a pen and paper, repair a book, and let her take it with her brother.
After giving these orders, Liao didn't pretend to be sick in bed, ordered someone to come in, clean up and dress up, specially picked the color that Chu Pei liked, and moistened his face with rouge, which looked much calmer than usual.
When Chu Pei came back from a busy day's chores, Liao brought some food to the study.
Chu Pei saw Liao's dress, a little bit like he had just gotten married, and his heart was a little soft, and he asked, "Why did Madame come to the study when she didn't rest in the house?" ”
Liao said softly: "The concubine has been lying on the bed for a few days, and she doesn't get up to move, but I'm afraid that my muscles and bones will be lazy." Then he asked someone to put the food he brought on the table, and said, "The master is busy and tired, I asked the kitchen to make some of your favorite food, the master might as well try it." ”
Chu Pei saw that several dishes were his favorites, and his appetite came up, so he pulled Liao Shi and said, "You can eat it too." ”
Liao Fang and Chu Pei sat down to eat.
After finishing dinner, Liao said: "The concubine has something to ask the master for advice. ”
Chu Pei motioned for her to continue.
Liao said: "As soon as I came, Brother Lang is not young, but he has been enlightening at home alone, and he can't help but be a little complacent. ”
Chu Pei nodded and said, "Lang'er should have gone to the clan school a long time ago, and it will do no good to mix up in his studies all day long. Catch up with Ming'er, my fellow class-educated Hong Lao, and let Lang'er go over as soon as possible. ”
Seeing Chu Pei's response, Liao continued: "Second, Sister Lan has been married for almost two years, and the letters in the first year were quite frequent, but this year, there are only letters when giving New Year's gifts during the New Year's holidays, that is, a few sentences, and the language is unknown. The concubine is always worried, and the sister is spoiled by the concubine at home, so she is afraid that she is also willful in her mother-in-law's house, which will make her mother-in-law unhappy. And Sister Lan has not been pregnant for two years, and the concubine is also worried that she is not in good health. The concubine thought that if someone from the master's subordinates went to the capital to do business, could they go to the Jiang family by the way to see if Sister Lan was okay, and if there was a letter, the concubine could feel at ease. ”
Chu Pei listened to this request, but he was a little unhappy, and only asked: "The Jiang family is a big family, and it won't be short of Sister Lan or anything, besides, it was also said that Sister Lan couldn't have an eldest son before she became pregnant, and she was not a treacherous person if she wanted to come to the Jiang family." ”
Liao Shi said eagerly: "At this time and that time, besides, the northwest is 108,000 miles away from the capital, even if there is something in the Jiang family, we will not be able to reach it, that is, Sister Lan will suffer......
Chu Pei narrowed his eyes and said, "Madame, what have you heard?" Why are you so worried? I think that at the beginning, Mrs. insisted on marrying Sister Lan to the capital..."
Liao's expression was a little flustered, and he said, "The capital is naturally better than the northwest. But Sister Lan has not heard from her for so long, and the concubine is always worried. ”
Lan Yu is Chu Pei's first child, and he was born when he was in a good relationship with the Liao family, so he can be said to have grown up spoiled. As soon as the Liao family said this, Chu Pei was also a little worried, so he said: "There is a caravan going to the capital next month to buy, but I can entrust someone to go to the Jiang family." ”
When Liao Shi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Great, I'll prepare some things and bring them to Sister Lan when I go back." ”
Chu Pei spoke up to stop the Liao family and said, "Since you want to find out about Sister Lan'er's situation, you can't really see it if you are prepared." Madame also asked someone to bring things, and she would make plans after finding out the situation. ”
Liao gave up.
Besides, Mohe sent the letter written by the Liao family to the old man of the Liao family. The old man of the Liao family was only halfway through it, and his face was flushed with anger, and he shouted: "Hurry up, bring me the pen and ink, I want to take a break from this faceless stupid woman!" ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to write a letter of resignation and pulled the Liao family to the ancestral hall.
Mrs. Liao was frightened by Master Liao's sudden divorce, and cried: "What big mistake did I make? As for the divorce of me? I finally pulled a few children for your Liao family, and seeing that my children and grandchildren are not enjoying it, you want to sweep me out? What is your Liao Jia'an's heart? ”
Master Liao didn't want to say much in front of his children, but he was also so angry by Liao's crying that he blew his beard and glared, threw Liao's letter to Mrs. Liao, and said, "See for yourself!" If you do such a thing, can our Liao family still keep you? ”
Mrs. Liao picked up the letter and read it, only to know that she had been sued by her sister-in-law, and she cried even more: "Master, you can't just listen to your sister-in-law's words, if she hadn't passed on the word, this would never have been the result." Now that something happened, she picked up her own house, but she blamed it on me. Master, you don't want to think that if it's not for the Liao family, why should I go to the Chu family to ask for this? ”
The others were still in a fog when they heard it, but Liao Shang heard it as if it was related to him, and hurriedly picked up the letter and looked at it at a glance, only to feel that his face was burning while looking at it, and he also said why Chu Ming has always been salty and indifferent to himself these days, and there is sympathy in Qi Peng's eyes, it turns out that they all know these foreign appearances from their own families. I only hate myself for being kept in the dark, but I became the clown who jumped off the beam. For a while, I only felt that the world was spinning, and everyone's sneering eyes appeared in front of me. And the sound of Master Liao and Mrs. Liao scolding each other was still ringing in his ears, and he felt even more physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to escape from this smoky place.
Thinking so in his heart, his hand took a step faster, and he tore the letter to shreds, and turned straight away.
Master Liao and Mrs. Liao were both frightened by Liao Shang's actions, and Mrs. Liao was even more about to get up and said, "My son, what's wrong with you?" Don't go, you listen to your mother's explanation......"
Master Liao said, "Explanation? What else do you have to explain? Even your son's face has been lost by you! ”
Seeing that Master Liao and Mrs. Liao were arguing again, Liao Sheng and Sister Huan hurriedly pulled the two apart, comforted each other, and finally calmed down the farce after a lot of tossing.
And Liao Shang was stimulated by this, so he actually put away Danqing, and only focused on studying and preparing for exams, and he was more cautious in his words and deeds in the school, and gradually distanced himself from Chu Ming, Qi Peng and others.
Yurong Courtyard got the good furniture sent by Yu's mother, and everyone up and down was surprised.
If you don't send it early or late, you can't send it late, but it's been a few months since you moved in, and anyone who sees it feels tired.
Huiyu knew that it was Tang's mother's words that played a role, and she respected Tang's mother even more.
Originally, when she came to this world, Hui Yu relied on her own intuition to deal with people, and there was no one to discuss or give guidance on weekdays, but now seeing that Tang's mother acted decisively and was quite generous, Hui Yu also had the heart to discuss with her, and she would ask a few words if she had anything to do.
Tang's mother also noticed the changes in Huiyu, and only said: "The girl is thoughtful, forbearant and calm, but everything is inevitably negative, you must know that there will be a loss in the end, and what should be fought for is still to be fought for, otherwise others will despise it." ”
Hui Yu's face was flushed when she was said, and she couldn't imagine that Tang's mother saw herself so thoroughly. I have indeed always had the psychology of escaping, Xu feels that there is no sense of belonging in this world, keeps an appropriate distance from the people around him, looks at the people around him with an outsider's mentality, does not want to participate or mix, just wants to protect himself.
As everyone knows, even if you become the identity of the original owner, you can't be a third party, and only by being positive can you seek good results for yourself.
So Hui Yu said: "It turns out that my father and mother are alive, and everything is always prepared for me, and I am used to not caring about things. Now it's different from the past, and I ask my mother to mention it more on weekdays. ”
Mother Tang nodded and said, "It is the duty of the old slave to serve a good girl, and only when the girl is well can the old slave feel at ease." ”
