Chapter 688: Impeachment
Mrs. Gao Shangshu waited and waited, and when the sky darkened, the maids squirmed, and lit the lights in the house, and the mother-in-law on the second door came to report, and Lord Shangshu went to Du Mansion, so that Mrs. did not have to wait for him to eat.
"Old lady, this is?" Mrs. Shangshu was puzzled, "You can send someone to tell the old lady, the old ancestor ......"
"The old lady knows, and said that the old ancestor went to the eldest master, so let you leave it alone." In the end, the mother-in-law hung her head so low that she hardly dared to look up at Mrs. Shangshu.
Husband knows? When did you know? Did she already know about it, or did she hide it from her if she dared to love their father and son? Aren't you afraid that she will worry about the safety of her ancestors?
Mrs. Shangshu was so angry that her eyes turned black, several daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law hurriedly surrounded each other to persuade each other, and a few girls in the third room leaned against the corner, "The ancestor went to live with the eldest uncle, so don't we have to live with the ancestor?" ”
She didn't like to be close to her ancestors, but her mother and grandmother always asked them to please their ancestors. Originally, every year to the Xishan Courtyard to escape the summer, is the most anticipated thing for the little girls, because the ancestors are old and frail, and do not come to the West Mountain, they do not have to go to the ancestors every day to go to the morning and dusk provinces like when they were in Beijing.
Acquaintances and relatives meet to go out, Dragon Boat Boat Race, lotus appreciation and other kinds of gatherings, as long as you say hello to your mother, even if your mother does not agree, your grandmother will help make the decision, unlike when you are in Beijing, you have to go out, not only to tell your mother and grandmother, but most importantly, you have to agree with your ancestors, God knows how conservative your ancestors are, nine out of ten times you will not be allowed.
I learned that this year, the ancestor was going to Xishan for the first time to escape the summer. The grandmother also asked them to live with the old man, but the little girls were full of reluctance, but they could only obediently agree.
Now it's good! The old ancestor went to live at the eldest uncle's house, so they didn't have to go to the old ancestor's courtyard to live, right?
The elder sisters were not so optimistic, and the oldest was worried, "Don't send us to the eldest aunt, I heard from my mother." The house where my grandmother gave my aunt was small. The ancestors really want to live, I'm afraid there is no place! And the house is in disrepair, and it's raining at this time......"
There are many insects and snakes in mountainous areas. When it rains again, I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, and when my sister says this, several little girls begin to be annoyed.
Unfortunately. Whatever you're afraid of, you'll come!
The third lady said, "It's late tonight." When we wait for Ming'er, let's go over and visit our ancestors, right? If you don't feel comfortable living, you still have to persuade your ancestors to move back in. ”
The fourth lady didn't have much spirit to echo, and the third lady said again. "The sister-in-law's house is new, and nothing has been cleaned up yet, so she rashly took the ancestor over. Isn't it wronged by the ancestors? ”
"What the third sister-in-law said is that the ancestor likes to be lively the most. In our courtyard, there are Mingfang and Mingmei to accompany them, and the sister-in-law is the only one who is the companion, and she is too wronged by the ancestors. ”
Several little girls in the third room were named, and they secretly glared at the fourth lady several times, but the fourth lady didn't find it, but the girls in the fourth room saw it.
The third lady replied half-sourly: "What my brother and sister said is that no matter how capable the sister-in-law is, she can't be skilled, and she has to take care of the family and accompany her ancestors." ”
Thinking of the house that the eldest lady got from her mother-in-law, the third lady became angry, although she knew that the house was not big and very old, but it was better than nothing!
The second lady sat quietly aside, not involved in the matter, and when she saw that they had almost said something, she asked if she wanted to set the meal, and when the waiter had finished eating, she excused herself to arrange the carriage and horse for tomorrow's departure, and slipped away.
The fourth lady followed, although she had the heart to marry her daughter to the Du family, but her mother-in-law was bent on supporting the third room, she and her husband thought twice, and finally decided to give up.
The second master couldn't see it originally, why could the eldest brother's daughter marry Du Xiang's grandson, but his daughter couldn't? It's the same as Shangshu's granddaughter!
But later, he and his brother-in-law ate wine to relieve his boredom, and his brother-in-law broke the mystery with a word, "You think that Du Xiang looks at your father, but according to me, Du Xiang values your eldest brother, do you know how much your eldest brother has made in office over the years?" In the future, it is bound to be reused by the emperor, Du Xiang is not young! You want others to support you, but people are thinking that one day they will retire themselves, and your grandson's father-in-law family can support his grandson! ”
In fact, everyone thinks about the same, they hope that after their daughter enters the Du family, Du Xiang can promote them for the sake of his granddaughter-in-law, but Du Xiang is optimistic about his eldest brother, hoping that his eldest brother can take care of his son-in-law in the future.
Speaking of which, Du Xiang thinks that his eldest brother has a promising future, and he is more promising than his father?
Because he has been staying in Beijing, most of the people who come and go on weekdays are coming to him because he has a Shangshu father, so the sophomore master can't see clearly in the bureau, and that time he was so little bit by his brother-in-law, he can see that some doorways are coming, after the eldest brother returns to Beijing, the friends who come and go, the number of times he mentions his eldest brother in words is several times more than the number of times he talks about his father.
The sophomore man calmed down for a few days before he figured out that instead of looking at his son-in-law's grandfather to promote him, it was better to have a good relationship with his brother and sister-in-law, after all, he couldn't write two high characters in one stroke, right? They are brothers of the same father and mother, and they do not rely on their own brothers, but they want to rely on their in-laws to pull their own families apart, so that the brothers are not at odds.
The second master figured it out, but the third master was wavering, and for a while he felt that his mother was right, and suddenly he felt that Du Xiang didn't look down on his daughter, and his wife yelled at him, and he changed his mind again.
The fourth master understood earlier than the second master that in this world, not only the Du family has a good son to marry, why hang himself on a tree?
The second lady and the fourth lady because of their husband's attitude, although they can't express themselves too much in front of their mother-in-law, they can always find a reason to avoid it, and Mrs. Shangshu is worried that she can't send them away from the two rooms, she is too biased, and she is afraid that her daughters-in-law will say that she is partial to the third room, so they avoid it, and they are in her arms.
That night, when Gao Shangshu came back, his face was gloomy, and he did not go back to the main room, but went directly into the study to rest, and went to the court before dawn, so although Mrs. Gao Shangshu wanted to know what her husband said to Du Xiang, she could only press it temporarily.
After breakfast, she took the third lady and the granddaughters of the third room to meet the ancestors.
The coachmen were a little embarrassed, they all knew that the eldest lord's family did not live in the house given by Mrs. Shangshu, but how to explain to Mrs. Shangshu, why did they know?
Yan Guan went over and patted them on the head one by one, "Mrs. Shangshu asked you to send her wherever she went, and the rest of the things are up to the master." ”
Understand.
The carriage of the Gao family went to Mrs. Gao Shangshu's house for the eldest daughter-in-law, the morning light was bright, the breeze was gentle, sitting in the car, the cool breeze penetrated into the car through the bamboo curtain, a maid held a fan to cool off, a maid held a beauty in her hand and pulled her legs for Mrs. Shangshu, and Mrs. Shangshu leaned on the pillow and fell asleep.
The car was not far away, and they came to the front of the house, and the maids took the lead in getting out of the car, looked around, and doubted, so desolate? The fallen leaves in front of the door are not swept away, it doesn't look like someone lives?
"Hurry up and pass the news, Mrs. Shangshu is here, why didn't anyone come to greet her?" The big maid was displeased with the commander to knock on the door, the coachmen pouted secretly, before Mrs. Shangshu was coming, she didn't send someone to inform, and the people in the house didn't know that Mrs. Shangshu would come, so how could someone come out to greet her? Oh, yes, the eldest lady doesn't live here, even if someone is sent to notify in advance, it shouldn't be here, right?
The sound of the door spread far away in the mountains, several families nearby have sent their families out to check, unfortunately, the owner of one of them happened to be working in the Yushitai, because he was reprimanded by his boss two days ago, punished him for introspection at home, he was in a bad mood, he just moved to the Xishan Courtyard yesterday, chose a seat, did not close his eyes one night, and finally fell asleep, but was woken up again.
He put on his clothes and put on his shoes and went out, so frightened that his wife hurriedly grabbed him, "Master, where are you going like this?" ”
"Go outside and see, what are you arguing about? All! ”
Mrs. Yushi had already sent someone to inquire, and when she heard her husband ask, she hurriedly said 1510, Yushi heard it, okay! It's Gao Shangshu again!
"The Gao family doesn't live near us, why did she come early in the morning to disturb people's dreams?"
The corners of Mrs. Yushi's mouth twitched, "I said that I came to visit my mother-in-law and wanted to invite my mother-in-law back to live." ”
"The ancestor of the Gao family lives next door to our house?" Liu Yushi admired this old lady very much, when she bought the house, the Chinese also said that they were neighbors with the Gao family! Who knew that after moving here for more than ten years, the Gao family had never been in or out of this neighborhood, let alone the old lady!
Mrs. Liu shook her head, and combined what she just said, her husband didn't listen to it? "Didn't I tell you just that? Mrs. Gao Shangshu is mistaken! There is a big and beautiful house near the Xishan Palace, how could she come here to live? ”
Finally helped her husband put on his clothes, Liu Yushi couldn't wait to go out, and before he reached the second door, he had already heard the noise outside, and the woman's high-pitched shouting made Liu Yushi frown, what did this woman scold?
"Is this the servant woman of that family scolding?" Liu Yushi grabbed the steward who had just come in from outside and asked.
The steward snorted, "Master, that's Mrs. Gao Shangshu scolding her daughter-in-law!" ”
No way? Liu Yushi looked at the steward with an expression of don't lie to me, and the steward said categorically: "Really, really, it's Mrs. Gao Shangshu, she was probably stunned, so she rushed off the bus station and scolded people outside the gate, obviously knowing that the tall man and his wife don't live here, she also deliberately stood there and scolded, master, you say, did she deliberately scold people?" ”
Nonsense! Otherwise, who is it scolding? How can there be such a stupid subordinate in their family? Liu Yushi smacked him, picked up his robe and walked out, he didn't go out of the corner door, he stood in the door and listened, the more he listened, the more his face sank, and finally turned around and entered the study, and the next day he wrote to impeach the household department Gao Shangshu for arsoning with his wife Hu Wei, and insulting the court officials.
