Chapter 348: Far Away (4)
When Xue Cai entered the study, his heart was a little up-and-down.
He stood in front of the desk with his hands down, glanced at Chang Yuyun, who was sitting and dealing with official documents, and smiled a little worriedly: "Master, are you looking for a minion?" ”
Chang Yuyun answered, took a pen and wrote a few strokes on the case file, then put it aside, and said, "Yesterday, your mother went to find your grandmother." ”
Xue Cai's smile froze.
When he returned home yesterday, he heard people talk about it, if it was an ordinary situation, the Xue family was in charge of the purchase, and it was not uncommon for him to go in and out of the backyard to talk to his grandmother, the key is that someone saw it, saying that when the Xue family came back, his eyes were red, as if he had cried, and some people had broken their mouths and muttered that the Xue family had done something wrong, which made Chu Weilin unhappy, and even worse, they thought that the Xue family was about to fall out of favor, and they didn't know which hand it would fall into when they bought this oil and water seat in the future.
Xue Cai knew that the old lady was in a bad mood, and she didn't dare to breathe when she went back, and after asking Lao Tzu, she asked him to jump up and down in the house, only to know that it was for the little widow.
As soon as Chang Yuyun mentioned it at this moment, Xue Cai's shoulders drooped, and he said in frustration: "Master, the slave wants to hide it from her, how do you know, let her find out......"
"This kind of thing, you can hide it for a day and a month, can you still be covered for a year and ten years?" Chang Yuyun looked at Xue Cai disapprovingly, "It's also that I don't think about it, I always think, don't help fight mandarin ducks, if you really like it, you can raise it, but I forgot, you still have Lao Tzu Niang to scruple about." It was a widow, not an ordinary little girl. ”
Xue Cai had a bitter face. said: "It's the slave who caused trouble for the master." ”
"Now like this, it's not a trouble, there is no decision on this matter, and I don't know how to make trouble when I turn around, you can figure it out for yourself." Chang Yuyun waved his hand.
Xue Cai had no choice but to respond, and when he walked out of the study, he let out a long sigh.
He didn't want anyone to find out, but he really didn't hide it......
Knowing that this was the case, he should have stopped doing it at that time, and resolutely did not confide that it was a little widow. After all, it was brought back by Haizhou. Make up a story, give a passable identity, and accept the Xue family openly, maybe there won't be so many things.
Thoughtful......
When I thought of the Xue family, I couldn't cry and hated it. Xue Cai's heart was heavy. He can't tell his mother. Chang Yuyun has known about this for a long time.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li De'an's family rushed back to Jinzhou.
In the dust, Li De'an's family did not enter the house to reply. After standing under the porch and reporting his safety, he went back to freshen up first.
Chu Weilin saw that she was back, and there was not much bad in her tone, so she relaxed a little and waited patiently.
When Li De'an's family came again, she had already put away the decorations, and sat down on the pestle next to the soft couch, she said with a smile: "This trip is a little difficult to walk. ”
Chu Weilin raised her eyebrows: "Why?" ”
"It's good to be close to Jinzhou, but there is Shaocheng, it has rained for more than half a month, and the rocks on both sides of the official road are a little unstable, and there are stones in several places, and many officials are repairing along the way." The road of Li De'an's family.
"When we went, I remember everything was going well, but in just a month or two, it changed a lot." After Chu Weilin finished speaking, he paused, and said, "The mountain rock slipped down, did it hurt anyone?" ”
"It is said that there is, the slave maid heard that Lord Jin of Shaocheng has been busy all these days." Li De'an's family said, "The Fourth Highness is still in Shaocheng, under his nose, Lord Jin doesn't dare to drag it out at all." ”
The four princes are still ......
This was beyond Chu Weilin's expectations.
Yan Qin has been arrested until now, and the time is not short, it is said that there are four princes in charge, Li Muyu and Lord Jin are the pioneers, that is, the entire Shaocheng is turned over, and this case should also be clarified.
The four princes are not living a free life in Jiangnan, but they have been delaying in Shaocheng, is it Ha Furong's matter is not over, or is there other changes in Shaocheng?
Chu Weilin couldn't figure it out for a while, so she asked about the He family: "The third aunt has arrived in Shaocheng, right?" What did she say? ”
Speaking of the He family, Li De'an's family frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm angry." ”
Although there were only three words, Li De'an's family said it so cautiously, Chu Weilin knew that it was implicit.
The He family must not only be angry, but so angry that he is going to quarrel with the He family.
Chu Weilin's guess was also good, the He family did make a big fuss.
Since the He family fell out with Chu Lunfeng, the thoughts of any husband and wife have faded, and they can only take good care of their children.
Chu Weiai was born to her, and at that time she felt that she owed her daughter too much, especially because she was full of wanting a son, she was too harsh and ignored to Chu Weiai, until she saw that her daughter was her intimate padded jacket, and she could be regarded as waking up and returning.
He didn't worry about everything, and finally slowly reversed his daughter's introverted and cowardly temperament in her childhood, and married off in a beautiful way.
Chu Weiai's husband's family is the in-law of He's mother's family, and they know each other, and their son-in-law is an honest scholar, although he has not yet made a name for himself, but he is down-to-earth, and his family style is also positive.
As for the concubine, He also wants to understand that she has to raise a son for others in this life, Chu Weilian is still young, she has no fixed mind, people's hearts are always long, she doesn't criticize the concubine, she doesn't let people teach the concubine badly, and she can live this life.
Chu Weilian is sensible and close to her, it is very good, if he has a pimple in his heart and can't get along with his mother-in-law, He should just call a white-eyed wolf to bite him, Chu Weixiu and Chu Weiyi are doing well, she will become a helpless old woman in the future, and there is nothing to worry about.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if that day comes, can Chu Lunfeng and Chu Weilian starve to death for her?
Chu Lunfeng still has to go in and out of the officialdom, and he tossed the He family miserably, really think that the He family is vegetarian?
If there is no desire, it is rigid, and the He family has become more and more idle over the years, especially when she married her daughter in May, and Chu Weilian, who has raised her for a few years, treats her with respect, and her heart is steady.
It's the wives and grandmothers I meet on weekdays. couldn't help but boast about his two well-married daughters, as for the concubine Chu Weiyao...... is so uncompetitive, who in the family is willing to mention her.
At this time of smooth sailing, He received a letter from Chu Weilin.
The letter only said that Chu Weixiu was seriously ill, and said that his mother-in-law Hong was not good at serving, and that the concubine Yan was eyeing him, and He was dumbfounded on the spot.
Mother-in-law, concubine, these problems have become trivial matters in front of Chu Weixiu's body and bones, and the He family is anxious. After discussing with Mrs. Zhang. So he got up and went south.
Even Chu Weilin came to ask for help, which shows that Chu Weixiu is really bad.
When the He family arrived in Jinzhou and entered the He family, she saw her daughter who was so thin that she didn't dare to recognize it at a glance. She almost didn't catch her breath.
Listen to the three words Ha Furong again. Ho's world is spinning.
This is the eldest daughter she thought she was marrying so proudly? This is her eldest daughter who boasted of a happy life in Beijing?
He really wanted to slap himself with an ear scraper. If it weren't for Chu Weilin who happened to be in Jiangnan, Chu Weixiu would have asked the He family to toss to death, and she, the mother, didn't know what happened.
The Hong family called Master He to be grounded. But when He is here, she still has to show up.
He already knew how many stumbling blocks the Hong family had made to Chu Weixiu over the years, where would there be any good faces, and the sneering words were one after another, the Hong family had been deflated these days, and he was so angry that he jumped up angrily.
He didn't care whether the Hong family was justified or not, she had been rolling in the capital for many years, and had seen all kinds of backyard women.
"I know that the third aunt wants to make trouble, but this is not troublesome, it is really a soft persimmon when our Chu family is a soft persimmon." Chu Weilin listened to Li De'an's words and muttered, "How is the eldest brother-in-law now?" Eldest sister ...... back"
"What else can I do......" Li De'an's family pursed his lips and waved his hand, "The slave maid listened to what Hongying said, saying that the whole person of the He family is full of skin and bones, and it has only been a long time, and he has no human form." Ha Hibiscus this thing is really powerful, it is said that when it hurts, I can't wait to use a knife to chop myself, sometimes I have a seizure in the middle of the night, and the scream of pain is scared to death! Speaking of which, it was also the Yan clan who harmed people. ”
"What about the Yan people? Still in prison? Chu Weilin asked again.
Li De'an's family shook his head and said in a suppressed voice: "It's long gone." She knew that she had no way out, and she didn't want to be tortured in prison, so she was killed directly. Lord Jin heard that the fourth prince reprimanded him for this, saying that he was not good at taking care of him, and if it wasn't for the little marquis to help him intercede, he would have to be punished. Speaking of Yan's death, hum ......"
The news of Yan's death was transmitted back to the He family, some people gritted their teeth, some people were indifferent, and another exception was He Huaiqing.
He Huaiqing cried a lot, extremely sad, and after crying, he fell silent again, and when he occasionally hung on his lips, he was the one who failed the Yan family.
It wasn't until Yan's first seven years that He Huaiqing suddenly became nervous, saying that the Yan family was looking for him and wanted to go underground with him to make a pair of mandarin ducks, which scared a few maids and women who were waiting.
After tossing back and forth, He Huaiqing didn't mention that he followed him with death, but blamed Yan for affecting him, and when the attack was extreme, he cursed Yan even more, and his words were vicious.
"The slave maid always feels that the spirit of the uncle of the He family is probably in a trance, so he cries for a while and scolds for a while," Li De'anjia pointed to his temple, "The slave maid has heard that people who have been sick for a long time will not have a good brain, and the uncle of the He family cannot be called a long-term illness, but it is really hard, and it is probably bad here." ”
Chu Weilin pursed her lips, being tortured by Ha Furong didn't drive He Huaiqing crazy, but also made him neurotic, and this reaction was reasonable.
She couldn't tell He Huaiqing's true feelings, under such torture, what was He Huaiqing thinking when he thought of Yan? Is it the nostalgia for the old days of love, the reluctance to treat the Yan family as an abandoned son, the annoyance that the Yan family hurt him and Chu Weixiu, or rather, hatred, regret.
Chu Weilin didn't know, she thought, He Huaiqing himself may not be able to understand it, just like Li De'an's family said, He Huaiqing's brain is not very good, and his thoughts will be turned upside down.
Such He Huaiqing, even if he is out of Ha Furong's control, his life will be ruined.
Besides, he may not be able to get rid of Hafleur.
Li De'an's family leaned forward slightly, and said to Chu Weilin: "The slave listens to the meaning of the third wife, I'm afraid that she wants to leave." The He family is a bottomless pit here. ”
"What about Brother Yuan and Brother Tong?" Chu Weilin asked.
Li De'an's family shook his head slightly: "It's not good, but this matter is a big deal, and the third wife can't be the master alone, and the slave and maid have heard that they have already sent a letter to the capital, and they want the old lady and the old lady to have an idea." ”
Chu Weilin took the teacup and took a sip lightly, feeling heavy.
She told Chu Weixiu last time that if there were no two brothers, she would be the first to agree with Chu Weixiu and Li, but ......
The two brothers have not grown up yet, with such a father and such a grandmother, if there is no biological mother by their side to guide and arrange, what will they do when the old lady of the He family dies? Count on Aunt Min to take care of them for them, or do you count on Second Mrs. He?
When the time comes, just in terms of family affairs, you can make Mrs. He Er's calculations miserable!
Chu Weixiu's heart was full of two sons, and if she left her son and went to Beijing, she would be tantamount to taking her life.
He Huaiqing really asked Ha Furong to toss to death, so that's it, I'm afraid that hanging half-dead like this will really moth the He family into a big hole.
Come to think of it, He is also in a dilemma at this moment.
"Unless, unless it's to bring the two brothers back to the capital...... Chu Weilin muttered.
"How can the He family be willing, the He family has not fallen at the moment, how can they let the two brothers enter Beijing with Heli's mother?" Li De'an's family sighed, "If you really want to take it back, it's not impossible, but when the two brothers are older, the things that should be obtained by the He family will have to be tossed again." ”
Chu Weilin bowed.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker outside, Chu Weilin didn't stay at Li De'an's house much, and said: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today, and my mother has worked hard for more than half a month, so I went back early to have a reunion dinner with Li De'an." Manniang prepared a lot of mooncakes, and I asked her to bring some for her mother. ”
Li De'an's family thanked for the grace and withdrew.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dispersed early, and Chang Yuyun came back early.
Chu Weilin told him about the situation of the He family: "But it's a dilemma. It's funny to say, when the second sister was in that situation, her grandmother, third uncle, and third aunt all wanted her to reconcile, and even did not hesitate to make trouble with the official mansion, but she was bent on giving birth to a son to stabilize her position in her in-law's family, and having a son was to get through. Now the eldest sister is here, but because of the future of her two sons, she does not dare to return to Beijing with a simple return. It is really a scripture that is difficult for every family to read, and everyone has their own troubles. ”
Chang Yuyun smiled bitterly: "Everyone is different." He Jiame......"
The words in the back were a little swallowed, Chu Weilin heard some taste, raised her eyes to look at him, and asked, "What?" What's going on in Mo Feili? The fourth prince and the little marquis, is it the idea of attacking the He family? (To be continued.) )
