Chu Weilin put down the embroidery bandage in her hand and asked Baolian, "You say, the eldest uncle is kneeling in the Songling Courtyard?" ”

Baolian nodded emphatically: "Grandpa, grandma, it's true, Wan Yi was in Songling Courtyard just now, and she saw it with her own eyes." ”

Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun exchanged glances and ordered, "Let Huan Yi come in." ”

Baolian went out, and Huan Yi soon came in, and said with her hands down: "The slave maid went to the Songling Courtyard to find Xiangling, and she stood in front of the inverted room to talk, so dignified, and suddenly heard the sound of broken porcelain in the east room, and the slave and maid were strange, and after a while, the eldest master came out of it, and knelt down straight down the steps, so that the eldest master must have made the old ancestor angry." A yard of people, who dares to go up to persuade ah? When the slave saw Mother Ge turn around and went out, she went to the eldest lady, and the slave and maid ran back to report the news. ”

After Wan Yi withdrew, Chu Weilin raised her eyes to look at Chang Yuyun.

Chang Yuyun sat at the table, the candlelight on the table was bright, reflecting his face like jade, but his brows were locked, adding a bit of solemnity.

Chu Weilin asked him softly, "What do you think?" ”

"Rare." Chang Yuyun said.

In Chang Yuyun's memory, the ancestor has never had a big liver fire with Chang Henghan, let alone kneeling in the courtyard and the ancestral hall, for this eldest son, the ancestor has always given enough dignity.

Chang Henghan, the eldest son, has always been very stylish.

When I was a child, I was naughty and mischievous, maybe I had it, but at that time there was an old ancestor, and the old ancestor had never been punished, and after Chang Henghan had a reputation and started a family, it was even more one-size-fits-all, where would the ancestor worry. It was raised that he was an unscrupulous son like Chang Yuhui, when he had an accident last time. The old ancestors did not punish Chang Henghan for anything.

Why did you drop something directly this time......

Chang Yuyun didn't understand.

Da Zhao didn't understand either. How can the mother and son have such a big grudge when they talk? She got the letter from Mother Ge, and flew to Songling Courtyard, where she saw Chang Henghan kneeling straight, and the candlelight in the east room had been extinguished.

Da Zhao stepped forward to ask Chang Henghan, Chang Henghan shook his head and didn't say why.

Mother Ge looked around, walked to the inverted room and knocked on the door, and asked the mother-in-law who opened the door, "Did the ancestor have dinner?" ”

The woman shook her head with a bitter face: "The eldest master has not been kneeling for long. The lights went out in the east room, and Mama Duan never came out, nor did she let anyone bring dinner in. ”

When Da Zhao heard this, she personally walked to the small kitchen, prepared the food that was hot on the stove into the food box, and sent it to the outside of the main house, she said respectfully: "Ancestor can rest?" Mother Duan, I sent the food over, and the ancestors should use some of it. ”

I waited a long time. There was a slight movement in the room, and Mama Duan poked her head out of the half-open door, looked at Chang Henghan and sighed, and said to Da Zhao: "Mrs. come in and talk." ”

Da Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The old ancestor was willing to let her in, which shows that most of this anger has disappeared.

followed Mama Duan to the inner room, and the Da Zhao family saw the ancestor sitting on the bed with his back against the pillow. The face is gloomy.

"Still on your knees?" The old ancestor asked.

Mama Duan bowed her head: "Still kneeling, the ancestor didn't shout." How dare the big man get up. ”

"Alright, don't say nice things for him. I know that in my heart. The old ancestor waved his hand.

In this way, Mama Duan was not easy to persuade again, and helped Da Zhao take out the food in the food box.

"Just let the Zhao family serve me, you can go out." The old ancestor instructed Mama Duan.

Mama Duan was stunned and looked at the old ancestor in embarrassment: "This ......"

"Do as I say." The Old Ancestor's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Mama Duan went out step by step, Da Zhao sat down on the edge of the bed with dishes and chopsticks, and carefully served the ancestor for dinner, she was beating a drum in her heart, but she was afraid that she didn't say a word well, and the old ancestor would be angry, so she had to endure it first.

The old ancestor did not have a good appetite, so he reluctantly ate half a bowl, and after a few mouthfuls of soup, he called out.

Da Zhao cleaned up and sat back on the edge of the bed.

"Don't hold it, don't you want to know?" The old ancestor glanced at her.

Da Zhao smiled and said: "Ancestor, my daughter-in-law knows, you have always given dignity to the eldest master, no matter what happened, you have never disciplined him like this and punished him." You always say that a man should be able to hold up a piece of the world, after the ancestor has passed, although there are a few little uncles, but the burden of this family is actually on our master. Since he has become the head of this family, he is always important in this external matter. It's not easy to be the head of the house, so you never lose his face, and you give him prestige. If you are so angry and punish him today, it must be that he is wrong, that he has done something very wrong. ”

The old ancestor listened with his eyes closed, and his eyes gradually became a little wet.

She has good intentions for her eldest son, and even her daughter-in-law can understand it, why is it this son who doesn't understand her mind as a mother.

"Our master has also been down-to-earth and diligent all these years, he is doing things outside, but it is me, the things in the house are not comprehensive for her, he has not taught the two children well, and he always worries about things in the backyard." As Da Zhao spoke, he couldn't hold it back, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

The old ancestor let out a long sigh, his voice was old and low, as if he was full of helplessness: "Feilan, what are you going to do?" ”

As soon as I heard the old ancestor mention Feilan, Da Zhao's head was about to explode, this was really a red-hot piece of iron, holding a hot hand and throwing it to his feet. Chu Weilin is too fine, she knows that Feilan is not easy to deal with, and she threw it to her in a few words, what else can she do except scold a few words in her heart at this time? If you want to regret it, you also regret that you sold a face of Xing Zhuxi's family and sent Feilan to serve in Ji Jinyuan, otherwise, there would be no such thing.

"Feilan...... Da Zhao said stiffly, "The daughter-in-law thinks, if it is not clear, it will be sold, and it will hurt people's hearts, but if Feilan's mistake is revealed, how can the criminals stay at home?" Our lord grew up with her grandmother's grandmother, and people like us suddenly don't provide for the mother-in-law of the criminal family. I don't know what to say about our lord. ”

Da Zhao's words make sense, the nurse is different from ordinary servants. Unless she leaves the house voluntarily, the master's family will definitely support her for the rest of her life. inexplicably kicked the milk family out of the door, and it was really unsightly on the face.

"You've thought it through!" The old ancestor snorted, not hiding the mockery in his tone.

Da Zhao was extremely embarrassed, and was about to say something more, when she suddenly heard some movement in the courtyard, she hesitated to take a look, and saw the old ancestor raise his chin at her. Da Zhao got up and walked out, there were no clouds today, and the moonlight was better than in the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is no shortage of light in the east room, where there is no light.

When I opened the door, Chang Henghan was still kneeling, and there was another old woman beside him, talking to Chang Henghan with tears in her eyes.

That's the mother-in-law of the criminal family.

"Why did Mom come here?" Da Zhao stepped forward and asked.

The criminal's mother-in-law's eyes were full of chagrin, and her eyes looked at Chang Henghan with distress: "Master, it's cold on the ground at night, and you will hurt your body if you kneel down again." It's Philippe who doesn't understand. You follow your ancestors. The old slave is really, really...... Ay! ”

Chang Henghan held the hand of the criminal family's mother-in-law and said with relief: "Nurse, it's okay." Mother is angry, and blames me for being stupid, nurse, go back first. It's late at night, and the wind is stronger, so you have to be careful about your body. ”

The mother-in-law of the criminal family is full of tears. simply staggered and knelt down, and said, "That old slave is kneeling with you." ”

Da Zhao couldn't persuade him. I could only stomp my feet and turn around and go back to tell my ancestors.

The old ancestor was expressionless, and said for a while: "I know, let them all come in." ”

It's a relent.

Da Zhao secretly recited Amitabha, and hurriedly went out to invite Chang Henghan and the criminal's mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law of the criminal family was old, and she almost didn't stand firm when she got up, but she saw that Chang Henghan knelt for a long time and her legs were numb, and she squatted down to rub it for him, but was stopped by Da Zhao and Chang Henghan.

Chang Henghan helped the mother-in-law of the criminal family to go in and asked her to sit down on the Eight Immortal chairs in the inner room, but the mother-in-law of the criminal family refused and excused herself.

In the end, it was the old ancestor who spoke: "He asked you to sit, you can sit." Henghan, your family will always fall into your hands, what you say is what you say. ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, it was as if she was sitting on a needle felt.

Chang Henghan didn't seem to hear the deep meaning of the ancestor's words, but just lowered his head and said: "Mother, it's the son who is not good enough to make you angry, you must dissipate your anger." ”

"Oh, do you know what I'm mad at you?" The old ancestor asked.

Being reprimanded by the ancestor in front of the Great Zhao family, Chang Henghan was a little embarrassed on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Because my son wants to let Feilan go." ”

"Why did you let her go?" The old ancestor glanced at the mother-in-law of the criminal family, glared at Chang Henghan and said, "Do you know what she did?" The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, and our Chang family does not have the rules to let the subordinates casually calculate the master to climb up! You're good, you can let it go if you want. That's what you did in the court? What is the Metropolitan Procuratorate in charge of, and it can also rely on your words to hit this and let that go? ”

The old ancestor lectured, Chang Henghan could only kneel down and listen, as soon as he knelt, the Da Zhao family also knelt down, and the mother-in-law of the criminal family became more and more uncomfortable sitting on the side, so she simply knelt down.

Chang Henghan heard the sound and glanced back at the mother-in-law of the criminal family, his eyes were full of concern.

The old ancestor saw it in his eyes, took a sip, and said, "Feilan, this matter should have been your daughter-in-law's concern, what can you do!" A big man staring at the backyard maid, do you know shame! ”

Chang Henghan lowered his shoulders and didn't dare to say anything.

The old ancestor pointed to the mother-in-law of the criminal family and said: "You have been in the Chang family for more than 40 years, and you are a confused person, you have lived in the Chang family for most of your life, and you should know some rules." Fei Lan made a mistake, you want to intercede, you can, find Zhao, find me, it's okay. What about you, you go to Henghan, what does this mean? You relied on Henghan to treat you well, involved him in the backyard matter, and put him in a dilemma, this is to provoke the feelings of our mother and son? You're good enough. ”

The body of the mother-in-law of the criminal family trembled, trembled, and said: "The old slave doesn't dare, it's the old slave who is confused, the old ancestor, all the mistakes are the fault of the old slave, don't blame the old man." ”

"Mother!" Chang Henghan said hurriedly, "I don't blame the nurse, it's me who does things ...... foolish."

Before the scribbles could be spoken, the old ancestor picked up the candlestick next to the bed and slammed it on the ground, panting and said: "Chang Henghan, I am your mother!" I don't know, I thought you were born to this old godly woman! ”

Da Zhao's face turned white, she never thought that the old ancestor would scold such ugly words in his mouth.

Chang Henghan was also incredulous, he looked at the mother-in-law of the criminal family, and then looked at the ancestor, of course he knew that he was born to the ancestor, one was a mother, the other was a nurse, he respected and loved it as much.

Only the mother-in-law of the criminal family looked at the ancestor with tears on her face and said nothing.

The old ancestor's eyes could almost spew fire, and she leaned over and said to the criminal's mother-in-law word by word: "Do you want to die?" I didn't really hit the corner of the table that year, don't bump into me today, my wife is old, I don't want to change places when I live in this house, you want to go back to your own place if you want to live or die. I also said yesterday that Xing Zhuxi is honest, why did he raise a shameless and skinless thing like Feilan, and I forgot that you, an old pious woman who doesn't come to me all the year round, Feilan has learned ten out of ten from you. ”

The mother-in-law of the criminal family bit her white lower lip tightly, until she tasted a trace of blood, and then she said in a dumb voice: "It turns out that you still remember ......"

The mother-in-law of the criminal family got up from the ground and staggered outside, Chang Henghan couldn't rest assured, but he knew that if he showed his concern for the nurse again, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and he could only suppress it.

Da Zhao's heart was terrified, and she listened to every word of what the ancestor said.

At first, Da Zhao thought that he had figured out the reason why his ancestor was angry.

Chang Henghan was brought up by the mother-in-law of the criminal family when he was a child, and he did not live with the ancestor, for his biological mother, he was more respectful, but not so intimate, and it makes sense that the ancestor would be jealous of the mother-in-law of the criminal family.

But after hearing this, Da Zhao knew that things were not so simple. said that Fei Lan learned ten out of ten, which means that the mother-in-law of the criminal family probably climbed over the master's bed back then, and she was a widow, and there were some unclear places between her and the ancestor who fell into the eyes of the ancestor, so there was a matter of hitting the corner of the table and not succeeding.

How many years ago was that? After that, does the mother-in-law of the criminal family continue to take care of Chang Henghan? Why did the ancestor leave the mother-in-law of the criminal family back then?

These past events cannot be investigated, the ancestors and the mother-in-law of the criminal family will not say it, and it is impossible to dig it out from the mouths of several old grandmothers in Songling Courtyard, and Mother Ge may not know that there is such an old matter.

The old ancestor was extremely tired, lay back on the bed, and said in a rough air: "Henghan, the backyard is all women's affairs, don't worry about you." ”

Chang Henghan opened his mouth, and when he saw that Da Zhao was giving him a look, he could only swallow all the words and only spit out a "yes".

Mama Duan came in to serve, and Da Zhao helped Chang Henghan out of Songling Courtyard.

When the third watch was played this night, someone hurriedly came to the long room to report, and Da Zhao listened to the words of the people below, and his head exploded with a buzz.

The mother-in-law of the criminal family hanged herself. (To be continued......)
