Chapter 214: Undercurrent (6)
Zhang's mother was standing there nervously with her hands in her hands, looking at the delivery room from time to time, she didn't notice that Liu was coming, so that this cold question was suddenly startled, and the whole person almost jumped.
Turning around, Zhang's mother saw that it was Liu's family, and quickly put away the impatience on her face, and called respectfully: "Sixth wife, why are you here?" ”
"Tsk!" Xu pursed his lips, lightly bumped Chu Weilin, and said, "Look at this face." ”
Chu Weilin pursed her lips and didn't speak, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and Xu understood what she meant at a glance.
After seeing Zhang's mother's "ability", Chu Weilin guessed that the Xu family would definitely not like Zhang's mother, and Chunshan must have tossed a lot from being promoted to being pregnant.
Liu also saw the two nieces and daughters-in-law, she bowed slightly, and said to Zhang's mother with a straight face: "You can come, why can't I come?" ”
Zhang's mother smiled and said: "The slave maid is here to see the slave maid's girl, and she is much more expensive than the slave maid." ”
"You also know that she is expensive?" Liu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "What kind of place are you here?" Did you open and shut up? Your girl's belly is expensive, why did you still cause her to have a seizure? ”
"Oops! Mrs. Yo! Zhang's mother exclaimed hurriedly, "The girl's seizure is really not a slave or maid!" How can a slave or a maid be a fool? What is in the belly is the grandson of the slave maid, and the slave is too late to feel distressed, how can she come nonsense! ”
As soon as Zhang's mother was in a hurry, her voice became a little louder, and her voice could be heard in the entire West Cross Courtyard.
"Whose grandson?"
Mother Zhang didn't understand who was asking, so she straightened her waist and said, "The slave girl gave birth to it." Naturally, he is the grandson of the slave! ”
Liu's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Da Zhao coming out of the delivery room, he knew that it was not good.
Sure enough, Da Zhao walked to Liu's side without hurry, and didn't look at Zhang's mother, but only said to Liu: "A concubine's slave mother, dare to call it a foreigner?" Sixth brother and sister, where are you the rule? ”
Liu's face turned white in an instant, Da Zhao's words were really ugly, and he sarcastically made Liu's face not even save any face. Liu couldn't be angry. I couldn't refute Da Zhao, so I could only raise my hand and go to Zhang's mother: "You really have a face!" ”
Zhang's mother suddenly took a slap, and Liu's used ten percent of her strength, and her eyes were full of gold stars for a while. Covering his old face, he looked at Liu in amazement. Unable to speak with his mouth open.
Da Zhao saw that Liu's move was made. He sneered and said, "I'll go to the ancestor to reply first, the people in your yard." You clean up by yourself, I don't want to overstep the bounds. ”
Liu secretly took a breath, and said with hatred in his heart: Zhao said that she would not overstep her bounds, but who didn't know that she wished she could cover the sky with one hand!
Mother Zhang was a little dazed, and came back to her senses and wanted to speak, but the corners of her mouth were really painful, she bared her teeth and grinned, and then popped out a few words: "Madam, slave maid ......"
"Shut up!" Liu shouted, "Give me back!" ”
Zhang's mother took two steps back in a panic, and finally stood still, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Yancui pulling Lu'e to point at her, and a fire rose in her heart, but she couldn't disobey the Liu family, so she could only scold and leave in her heart.
Only then did the Liu family turn around and go to the ancestral house.
Chu Weilin stayed where she was, turned her head to look at the Xu family, and said with relief: "Don't worry about her. ”
Xu squeezed out a smile and said, "I know, Pingbai has fallen into his identity, compared with her, Chunshan is really as honest as a rabbit." ”
The two spoke a few more words before walking back together.
In the ancestral house, the atmosphere was not good, Da Zhao was eating tea with a tea cup, and there was no smile on Liu's face.
Chu Weilin stepped forward to take Brother Lin from the arms of the old ancestor, and she didn't want to sit here anymore, so she got up and retired.
It was only in the night of this day that the word came from the Songling Courtyard that Chun Shan gave birth to a girl.
"Girl?" Chu Weilin was a little surprised, after all, many people thought that Chun Shan would give birth to a son, but if Chu Weilin wanted to say that it was not bad to give birth to a girl, at least the Xu family would not be so reluctant in his heart, but would be more tolerant of children.
When Xu got this letter, he really breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't conceive herself, because of her body, and because she and Chang Yuxiao were not in harmony.
Pregnancy, after all, is a matter of two people, what's the use of her working alone?
I never thought that I would call a concubine to rush to the front.
It's a pity that this family is not something that the Xu family can say, if the ancestor wants to keep this child, what else can she do? really came out to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, she couldn't take advantage of it, but was embarrassed, annoying the old ancestor, the Da Zhao family and Chang Yuxiao, she really didn't regret taking the medicine.
Xu has been enduring it, and when she met Chun Shan in Songling Courtyard, she would keep telling herself that she had to endure it, and only by enduring it could she get the sympathy of her ancestors, and maybe she could exchange it for Chang Yuxiao's little bit of guilt.
Until Chunshan was about to give birth, she still forced herself to endure ......
Fortunately, it was a girl, God did not kill her completely, and when she could get pregnant and give birth to her eldest son, she still had a fig leaf in front of her mother's group of flood beasts.
Xu relaxed, Chang Yuxiao wanted to take a look at her daughter, but she didn't stop her, and even went with her.
In the delivery room, Chun Shan fell asleep, and the child was taken care of by the nurse.
Xu Shi leaned over and took a look, her red skin was wrinkled together, as if it was no different from when Brother Lin was born, but she didn't seem to be as good-looking as Brother Lin, she hadn't given birth to her, she couldn't understand this, so she didn't talk much.
Chang Yuxiao was energetic, hugged her daughter and looked at it for a while, and waited until the child was hungry and cried before returning it to the nurse.
The ancestor gave his sister a listening word.
On the day of the third wash, all the in-laws who came, but the scene was much smaller than when Brother Zhilin washed the third.
Xu's mother's family also came to a few people, and they couldn't be called generous, but they weren't stingy, but the gossip on their lips was not good, and Xu's was so angry that they couldn't do without these relatives.
Two sisters were born one after another, and the ancestor felt some regrets in his heart, and he became more and more precious Brother Lin.
She coaxed Brother Lin to play. On the one hand, he said to Mrs. Chen San: "I will leave tomorrow morning, and I won't return tonight if I don't get drunk." ”
Mrs. Chen San responded with a smile: "The ancestors are merciful, my little bit of alcohol is really not on the table." ”
At night, the banquet was placed in the flower hall of Songling Yuan, it was exactly the fifteenth full moon, and the outside was bright and bright, and the banquet was particularly lively.
Chang Yuying is the bride, she went back early, and the ancestor ate a few more cups. Pulling Da Zhao, he said, "Don't blame me for being ruthless." It's ......."
Da Zhao's eyes were red, and he was persuaded and relieved to stop the words of the old ancestor.
Now that this is the case, what's the use of saying that? That's a lot to say. In case the old ancestor lost his words after drinking. Say something that Chang Yuying's words and deeds are inappropriate. I don't know what Mrs. Chen San will think.
Brother Lin was so sleepy that Chang Yuyun and Chu Weilin also left the table and went back.
"When Ming'er sends off the second aunt, I want to go back to my parents' house." Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun discussed.
Chang Yuyun turned his head. Chu Weilin's expression was cold under the moonlight, he tightened the hand holding her, and said, "What? ”
"I asked Mother Yu to pay attention to Mother Qian before, and Baolian said all of them, and she should have ended it earlier, so as not to have too many dreams at night," Chu Weilin made up her mind, "I just don't know if they can find Shanwan." I said to my aunt and went back with her. ”
Chu Weilin made up her mind, Chang Yuyun would not refuse, so she bowed her head.
Early the next morning, Fuzhong happily did something, and sent Chang Yuying to the sedan chair at almost noon.
Because it was a distant marriage, this family was sent to the outside of the city gate, and then turned around and went home.
Chu Weilin did not return to Changfu, and went to Chu Mansion with Brother Lin and Chu Lunxin.
The letter was obtained in the Chu Mansion, and at the Hanging Flower Gate, the He family and the Li family were waiting for them.
After entering the Yishun Hall, there was no change in it, but when she entered the main house, Chu Weilin saw her grandfather Chu Zhengfu sitting on the main seat.
After almost two years of "illness", Chu Zhengfu finally got up in spirit.
Chu Zhengfu was in a very good mood, and when everyone saluted, he hurriedly hugged Brother Lin, took a closer look, frowned, and said, "Why follow his father and not you?" ”
Chu Weilin didn't know how to answer this question.
Old Lady Zhang glanced at Chu Zhengfu and snorted coldly: "What's wrong with being like his father?" I'm tired of looking at a face every day. ”
Chu Weilin sighed secretly in her heart, it was because of this that this question was so difficult to answer. If Brother Lin is like her, then when she grows up, she can still see Aunt Gui's appearance from the outline, and Mrs. Zhang is naturally unhappy.
Chu Zhengfu ignored Mrs. Zhang's crooked thoughts, and said, "Which face can you still face now?" ”
Aunt Gui and the Jiang family are dead, Chu Weilin is married, Brother Lin is a grandson and not a grandson, and Mrs. Zhang really can't see it every day.
The words were blocked, and Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
He was afraid that they would really fight, so he made a round: "It's good to be like his father, Chang Jia Goro is famous in Beijing, and many people in Beijing praise his style and appearance." ”
Chu Zhengfu didn't want to talk about this endlessly with Mrs. Zhang, so he simply didn't mention it anymore, and only hugged Brother Lin to make fun.
Mrs. Zhang and Chu Lunxin were talking about family life.
Chu Weilin asked Chu Weiai, "What about the fifth sister?" ”
Chu Weiai pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "The family I talked about last time should be able to settle down." Grandfather and grandmother are also satisfied, and the fifth uncle and aunt are not picky now, but the fifth sister is holding it by herself. ”
Chu Weichen is arrogant, just marrying a military general with no background and no background will definitely be awkward.
Chu Weilin quietly glanced at Mrs. Zhang, "Don't bully the young man to be poor", hoping that Chu Weichen would listen to it.
After talking about trivial matters for a while, it is the turn of the day to take the lead.
After listening to Chu Lunxin's few whispers, Mrs. Zhang also understood.
Fang's mother hugged Brother Lin, and Bao Jin led the way to Qinghui Garden, Lu's mother was already waiting there, she must have wanted to hug this child.
Chu Weiai was sent back to the room by the He family, and the Li family wanted to stay, so they also asked Mrs. Zhang to send them together.
Chu Zhengfu went to the study, although this matter was related to Aunt Gui, but after all, it was a matter of the ladies in the inner courtyard, and he would not and did not want to interfere.
He asked people to invite Qian's mother.
Mother Qian didn't know why, since Chu Weiyao returned to the Xu family, few people in the family would think of her, let alone call her over in Yishun Hall.
Suddenly beating a drum in her heart, Mother Qian asked a few words tentatively, but the little girl couldn't understand anything.
When she entered Yishun Hall, she raised her eyes and saw Brother Parrot standing outside the wing room talking to people, and Mother Qian's brows couldn't help frowning.
Walking inside, she saw Mrs. Zhang sitting cross-legged on the Luohan bed, He Shi, Chu Lunxin, and Chu Weilin were all there, and her heart suddenly beat a few beats faster.
Mother Qian patiently asked for peace and was silent.
He Shi spoke in a calm tone and asked, "Mother Qian, how many years have you been in the mansion?" ”
Mother Qian replied honestly: "It's been almost twenty years since eighteen or nineteen, and when the second aunt and grandmother were born, the slave maid entered the house to serve her. ”
"yes, twenty years!" He sighed with emotion, suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "This is not two years, but twenty years!" Qian, you can really bear it! ”
Mother Qian's back was cold, she knew that it was not good just now, and she already understood it when she heard this, but she had to pretend to be stupid: "Back to Mrs. Qian's words, the days, endure it, boil it, and it will be over." The slave's man and son are gone, the second aunt and grandmother are married again, and the slave and maid are alone, just stay up, live one day at a time, get used to it, and don't feel anything. ”
With such sloppy kung fu, even Chu Weilin couldn't help but want to applaud, but after thinking about it, if Mother Qian didn't have such skills, how could she not show her stuff for so many years?
Mother Qian can really endure and pretend, she is not impatient, she is slowly drawing, she has no chance and will not be tough to fight, she is like a hunter with excellent patience, watching the prey move under her nose, but she is not in a hurry to shoot.
"Can you wait for twenty years, I don't know what your old lady is feeling in these twenty years?" Ho asked.
Mother Qian continued to pretend to be confused: "The slave's mother, the slave hasn't seen her for many years. The slave was born in a poor family, and the daughter who married out spilled the water, once she married far away, where could she see her mother's family again. ”
Rao is He is temperament is slow, and he doesn't want to go around in circles with Qian's mother anymore, so he said bluntly: "Okay, your mother is Shanjuan, right?" She was with the second uncle, and she was very close to Xia Yue, and even lit the death lamp for Xia Yue in the tower of Fayu Temple. She let you into the mansion because she wanted to avenge Xia Yue, right? ”
The blood on Mother Qian's face gradually faded, and even her lips turned pale.
Xia Yue, Shanjuan, these two names crossed in my mind, and many things surged up in my head.
She clenched her fists involuntarily.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, once there are clues, and then follow the vine, it is not difficult to be involved in the connection between those old things, Qian's mother knows that sooner or later there will be this day, and she has also thought about her ending.
Raising her head, Mu Ran glanced at He's family, and Mother Qian thought, fortunately, she is the only one who will be caught, and these people can't catch her old mother. (To be continued......)
