Chapter 948: Relieved
Mrs. Fan comforted her sister a few words, and sat down beside her mother again, "The third brother is also hard, and in the future, I have to live with her!" ”
People say that young couples are always companions, but an old wife like the third lady is afraid that her brain will not be clear in this life.
Old Madam Ding smiled faintly, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, this family business is the third child's own pleasure, and now her mother's brother has been dismissed, I am afraid that her mother and eldest brother will soon come to Xingshi to ask for guilt!" Mrs. Ding reminded her daughters.
"The old lady of the in-laws is not enough, right?" Ding Wenfu was stunned when she heard this, she remembered that the third lady's mother was a reasonable old man.
"Hard to say!" Mrs. Fan has not seen the third lady's mother for many years, but she has been in Beijing for many years and knows a little about the families of Korean and Chinese officials. "It's not about it, it doesn't damage her or her family's rights and interests, she is naturally reasonable, and she may even be very good at explaining people, but if the matter is left to herself, it may not be necessary."
Mrs. Ding looked at her little daughter and smiled, "You can see it clearly." ”
Mrs. Fan smiled sweetly at her mother, "That's because my mother and sister haven't heard about what happened a few years ago." Then I told my mother and sister about the anecdotes that happened in Beijing a few years ago.
At that time, the Fan Anbo brothers and sisters had just arrived in Huzhou, and Mama Ding was afraid that Mrs. Fan would miss her sons, so she often asked the maids and servants to tell her about the rumors outside, and they would pay attention to this matter, because Mrs. Xu was the mother of her third sister-in-law.
"That old man of the Fang family is a greedy and lustful person, often wandering out and not returning, Mrs. Fang is the daughter of Mrs. Xu's boudoir friend, when Master Fang takes the woman back from outside. Mrs. Xu happened to be invited by a friend to visit Mrs. Fang. ”
In fact, Mrs. Fang brought women back from outside her husband in three days and two days, and she was already numb, the Fang family was an imperial businessman, and Master Fang was a high school student when he was young, and Mrs. Fang's parents were the ones who gave her their daughter if he had the talent.
It's a pity that Master Fang's luck was not good, and he failed to fall to Sun Shan three times, and finally returned home to take over the family business. Although I didn't get into the Jinshi. But he was generous, and never hesitated to help candidates in difficulty, thus establishing a network. The business is getting bigger and bigger. and even do business to the palace. became an imperial merchant.
Coincidentally, when he was out socializing, he talked about his regrets. A friend at the same table said, "Won't it be your yuan that is worthy of fighting with you and ruining your official luck?" ”
Since then, Mr. Fang has drilled the tip of the horns, and the more he looks at his wife, the more unpleasant it is, so he simply lingers in the Qinglou and does not return, how can Mrs. Fang know her husband's thoughts, and she is noisy, and she is noisy, and her in-laws are not embarrassed by her son's daughter-in-law because of this kind of thing.
Mrs. Fang's mother's family felt sorry for her daughter, and knew that Mrs. Xu's son was an official, so she wanted to invite her to Fang's house as a guest so as to support her daughter.
But I didn't want to, Mrs. Xu didn't help support her, but she even persuaded Mrs. Fang to accept her fate, saying that her life was like this, and she persuaded Mrs. Fang to be a woman and be virtuous, not to be jealous, and her friend was half angry to death, Mrs. Fang's in-laws were proud, and the woman brought back by Master Fang was left like this.
A few months later, from the north, there was an old woman surnamed Jiang with her children and grandchildren to find Xu's door, saying that when the old lady Xu was in the northwest as the county commander, she had accepted her as a concubine, but when the old lady Xu returned to Beijing to report on her work, she gave her a concubine book, gave her a dowry to let her remarry, she left after she knew that she was pregnant, and took the money and shop left by the old lady Xu, and pulled her son up, and now the grandsons have grown up, she wants to let her children and grandchildren recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
Mrs. Xu fainted directly, and when she woke up, she wanted her eldest son to beat people out, but she didn't want Master Xu to be honest with her mother, in fact, his father had long known that this son existed, and he had dealings with this brother, but they just hid it from her, this time they would enter Beijing, also because Aunt Jiang was sick, and they wanted to fulfill Aunt Jiang's wish!
Mrs. Xu can listen to it! grabbed the things around him and smashed them, so Master Xu was beaten, and his head was bleeding on the spot, and he took a few days off for this, which is why this matter will be spread.
Originally, when Mrs. Xu encountered this kind of thing, her friends in the boudoir should have come to visit and help denounce the man who had already died a few words, but she didn't want to, because of Mrs. Fang's incident, Mrs. Xu's old friends were annoyed with her, even if they knew that this incident hurt her a lot, no one came to visit her.
Mrs. Xu felt that she was really pitiful, she had suffered such a big grievance, and those friends who had been friends for many years had no one to visit and comfort, so she couldn't help but bring it out in the conversation, everyone loves gossip, and the Xu family is no exception.
Some people said that Mrs. Xu was hypocritical, telling Mrs. Fang to be virtuous, tolerant, and not jealous, but she couldn't even tolerate the concubines that her husband had taken in decades ago, and asked someone to beat her concubine out.
Once a rumor spreads, it's like a life, and you never know what will turn out of it.
Originally, the rumors only said that Mrs. Xu, but then gradually changed her taste, and began to question the integrity of the Xu brothers.
Ding Wenfu smiled after hearing this, "Yes! With such an old lady, it is no wonder that the third daughter-in-law is so virtuous. ”
Mrs. Ding said, "I see, I just said it's strange, the third daughter-in-law and her mother have a lot of friends in Beijing, why don't we see the third daughter-in-law go out to visit these elders after we enter Beijing, it turns out that the root is here!" ”
"Mother! Even if they still have a relationship with the old lady of the in-laws, you see, will my third sister-in-law be the kind of master who takes the initiative to visit people? ”
Mrs. Ding was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Also, her temperament has always been held by others, maybe she is still wondering why her mother's friends didn't come to visit her!" ”
Not to mention, Mrs. Ding really guessed correctly.
The three ladies who were chanting in the ancestral hall wept and cried after chanting, and did not pack up the scriptures and futons. He staggered up and walked out of the Buddhist hall, holding on to the wall with difficulty and slowly moving his feet to the residence, several mothers-in-law stood in the distance and watched coldly, seeing her uncomfortable appearance seemed to amuse them, pointing at the third lady from a distance and laughing.
No matter how angry the third lady is, she doesn't take them seriously, and people don't take her seriously at all, even if she is the third lady? She has no right to let them go, no money to collect them, no benefit for them to reap. It's no wonder they'll treat her well! Not to mention. Seeing the three ladies who were once high in the air, they are happy!
The third lady's henchman and servant woman from afar came over with a tray, and when she saw them pointing at the third lady and laughing, she couldn't help but want to step forward with annoyance. But those mothers-in-law are fine! Watch her come here. And immediately they dispersed. The servant woman reluctantly wanted to catch up, but was stopped by a maid carrying a food box behind her.
"Stop chasing, what if I knock over Madame's bird's nest?" The maid shouted angrily at the servant.
Then the servant woman came back with the tray in her hand.
"Aren't I upset for my wife!" The servant woman smiled flatteringly at the maid.
The maid ignored her. I hurried to the third lady's side.
"Ma'am." The maid handed over the food box to the servant, and then went to help the third lady, the third lady leaned on her, and the weight of her whole body was almost all pressed on the maid, and the maid only felt that her shoulders were sinking, and she was almost unable to hold on, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the lady seemed to have become heavier! Take a closer look, well, Madame has really become fat, and her double chin has come out! And the oil on the face......
Because it was not good to be punished in the ancestral hall, the flaws on the face of the third lady were clearly visible, the maid was stunned, and her feet stopped, the third lady gasped, left her shoulder, and threw herself on the servant, although the servant woman was a little old, but she was stronger than the maid, although the third lady was pressed on her shoulders, and she was still walking like a fly, and the maid could see clearly that the spring clothes that the third lady originally fit now seem a little tight, and the back of the once delicate fit seems to have become a little tiger's back?
Her eyes fell on the food box in the servant's hand, those dishes, no problem, right?
Those dishes are all my favorite dishes! I used to eat it every day, but I didn't eat it like this, why did it make my wife change now?
She didn't know that those dishes had been quietly tampered with.
Because in the ancestral hall, although there is no rule that you must be vegetarian, but it is not good to eat meat too much, the third lady has been pampered since she was a child, and she is used to eating from the kitchen of the ancestral hall, so they had to bring the third lady's cook over, arrange her in a nearby family, and let her cook for the third lady every day.
The third lady is a meatless and unhappy person, when she is in the house, she eats exquisitely, but in order to be slim, she often tastes it, but in the ancestral hall, although she only kneels and recites the scriptures every day, for the third lady who does not move on weekdays, it is actually very physically exhausting, so in the face of food, she can no longer control her appetite.
It seems that the soup and water are in the food, in fact, the lard is very heavy, the lard is very fragrant, the third lady can't help but eat a lot, and the daily activity is only kneeling and chanting, after chanting, back to the house is open to eat, after eating, sleep, wake up and start chanting, accumulate over time, not fat is strange!
The maid followed into the house, thinking about how to remind the lady not to eat like this again, but how to open her mouth was a difficult problem, and the servant woman always felt that her wife was too thin, and she looked unlucky, no wonder she was old and sick! Seeing that she was mellow, and her heart was happy, he glared at the maid and did not allow her to speak.
The third lady didn't notice their small movements, "How?" Can someone send a letter out? Did they reply? ”
The maid and the servant woman exchanged embarrassed glances, "Madam, we are remote here, and it is rare for someone to enter Beijing." ”
In other words, before the letter was delivered, the third lady took a mouthful of white rice in a dejected manner, and felt that it was tasteless, so she took a large piece of the oily and shiny braised pork, put it in a bowl and mixed it, and then took another bite of rice, finally squinted with satisfaction, opened her eyes and made persistent efforts to add rice.
The maid couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but the servant woman stepped forward happily, "Madam, you try this dish, slippery egg shrimp, your favorite food since childhood." ”
Well, the third lady nodded, put a spoonful of shrimp into the bowl, and the maid stood next to her and couldn't look at it, so she found an excuse and left quietly.
When the servant saw her leaving, she said to the third lady, "Madam, you relax, when the eldest master knows about the fourth master, he will definitely return to Beijing immediately." ”
Yes, as long as the eldest brother comes back, my husband has always listened to the eldest brother's words, and he will definitely help, and he will be able to go home when the time comes! (To be continued.) )
