Chapter 9: Arrow in the Knee

Song said that he looked at the third aunt with a kind smile, and handed over a "you know" look.

Such a benefit will fall on her head?!

Happiness came too fast, and the third aunt was still a little confused for a while.

They are all in management, and the latter is more exciting than the decentralization of authority and the concentration of power. Besides, she has long been unaccustomed to the elm brain of the old and second family, such a pig teammate will only drag her back, okay!

Now, the Song family threw out an olive branch, although it is a trade-off between taking a step back with the old lady, maybe it is still a delaying tactic, but it is beneficial to the third room!

The third aunt raised her eyebrows, and responded to Song with a smile of "I understand, you understand" on her round face.

The second aunt looked at the eye contact between the two, still raising her chin arrogantly, but she had already scolded the third aunt who secretly went behind her back to bribe the Song family at some point.

She didn't believe that the old lady would be willing to hand over power to Sanfang with such a plucking temperament!

Sure enough, the old lady sincerely lived up to the hopes of the third aunt, "No, this is not appropriate!" I don't promise! ”

It was the other party who was flustered, but Song became more calm, and said with a smile: "Did my mother agree to let the third brother and sister come to the housekeeper and decided to return the pair of cards to my daughter-in-law?" That's right, this business is also the old man saved during his lifetime, earlier in the hometown of the father and mother of the family, we are not a penny of silver, even the silver that was stored in the year zài Niang there is also distributed to the second brother and the third brother, now the mother understands the righteousness, can promise to hand over the cards to me, but also you are reasonable. ”

"Mother!" The third aunt is anxious, this old immortal, what kind of trouble do you want to make?

The old lady's face turned red, and she couldn't imagine that the Song family, who had always been easy to handle, would become like this.

Indeed, not only did the original separation of the parents and sons not get it, but they also got a lot of it.

But what does this have to do with her surname Song?

The reward for her son's death in battle, why should the Song family be in charge?

The old lady hurriedly said, "I didn't say that! ”

"Oh, that's to allow the third brother and sister to be the housekeeper?"

Song looked at the third aunt with a smile: "Since my mother agreed, you are biased." Let's go back and take stock of the family's belongings, record them in the book, and reconcile them in the future. The three brothers and sisters should buy in the future, and they have to live as usual, right? ”

"That's what my sister-in-law said. When I was not out of the cabinet, I also helped my father manage the accounts, and my mother taught me a lot of things to do in the middle of the house, which was difficult for me. The third aunt said happily.

"The third brother and sister are talented, I have always known it."

……

Seeing that the Song family and the third aunt had made such a happy decision, the old lady was angry.

When did she say yes! These two goblins have already discussed, right? We've discussed it, right?

The old lady clutched her chest and cried again: "Evil! You should all be on the deaf ears when I speak, and you can't be angry with me! ”

Seeing that the old lady was crying again, the second aunt went to persuade first, and Fu Yun, the sixth girl on the side, also took a handkerchief to wipe away the old lady's tears.

was crying, the curtain of the main house was raised, and the old lady walked in with a frown.

The old lady Fu Dongheng is two years old and Zhao's is fifty-eight years old this year, born tall and thin, wearing a dark blue short brown, dark skin, rough hands behind his back, although he has been farming for many years and has been a carpenter, the years have ruthlessly left a frost on his face, but he can still see a little bit of style when he was young.

The boys of the Fu family are all good.

If the old lady didn't have this handsome face, he wouldn't have asked to marry a young lady from a small merchant family as an orphan.

"Daddy."

"Grandfather."

The crowd saluted.

The old lady nodded, and asked, "I heard you howl when I just entered the courtyard gate, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't you ask how the Song family and the Cao family poke my heart! I, who is a mother-in-law, can't even be the master of my daughter-in-law, what face do I have! When I saw the old lady, the old lady cried even harder.

The old lady twisted her eyebrows and asked everyone what happened. The third aunt and the second aunt said briefly about what you said and what I said.

After hearing this, the old lady clapped and said: "According to what the eldest daughter-in-law said, the third daughter-in-law will take care of it first." ”

"What?!" The old lady had tears in the corners of her eyes, and she looked at the old lady in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe that he was talking to others.

The second aunt pursed her lips in displeasure.

The third aunt smiled and said, "Yes, Dad." ”

"It's not early, let's all disperse."

"Yes."

Everyone withdrew from the upper room.

Before going down the steps, the sixth girl, Fu Yun, helped the second aunt to walk away quickly.

The third aunt took her daughter-in-law Fu Rui and her concubine Fu Qian, chatted with the Song family for a few more words, and then returned to the West Small Cross Courtyard.

The old lady was crying at this time, and she didn't see the old lady speak, but she stopped crying when she was angry, and scolded: "You turn your arm out, and the third daughter-in-law is a housekeeper by herself, don't you let her go to her mother's house?" ”

The old lady said sullenly: "You think they are all like you." ”

"You blame me! Don't forget how I married you in the first place, and how many hard times I lived with you! ”

When she first came out of the cabinet, the Zhao family was indeed quite wealthy, but then it was defeated, and for many years she has been relying on her to help her mother's family openly and secretly, until the eldest son gradually developed, and even led the Zhao family to gradually get better.

The old lady didn't look up, looked at the rough calluses on his hands, and said slowly: "You also do it lightly." If the eldest daughter-in-law really goes out and sues the emperor, what can you please for? In the end, it is a family, whether you go to the yamen to sue her, or she goes to the emperor to sue you, it is a lose-lose situation. ”

As he spoke, he got up and went to the inner room, "I'm tired, I'm sleeping." ”

"You ......"

The old lady was choked and speechless, and muttered unconvinced for a while: "You can't watch our Fu family's money and money being swept away!" Are all my sons dead in vain? He wiped away tears again.

……

The main house of the east cross courtyard has been lit up.

Fu Ying hugged Song's neck and praised Jiaojiao: "In the end, it is mother's wit." This move is really wonderful to retreat into advance. ”

Fu Yi thought about it and said: "If you want to get the cards back, those personal hatreds will be on us." Not anymore. Anyway, he also pulled an alliance with the third aunt. ”

And this successfully disintegrated the relationship between the second aunt and the third aunt, making the old lady suspicious of the third aunt. Compared with dealing with the three people who are united, it is the best policy to break down the discord and break it one by one. Fu Ying said.

Song nodded: "You just reminded me." The cards are in the hands of the three rooms, we can just wait to enjoy the blessings, if I am the housekeeper, how can your grandmother not keep how to find fault with me, if she has any dissatisfaction in life now, just go to ask the three rooms. ”

A few more people talked and went to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, just after breakfast, the third aunt instructed the maidservants around her to go back and forth to the Song family: "Big lady, the third lady has ordered someone to find the tooth wife, and plans to buy some people to come in, and people can come into the house this afternoon, and I will come to pick it for you first." Later, the mother-in-law will open the warehouse first, and move the tables and chairs for you first. ”

Song smiled and nodded, and sent the maidservant away.

Fu Ying lazily leaned on the drunken chair under the porch, shook her beloved fan embroidered with a little white cat, and said leisurely: "Look, this benefit is here." We don't have to fight, the third aunt will naturally consider us here. ”

"yes, you're clever." Song nodded her forehead.

After a while, if someone really came, not only the furniture was arranged, but even the mattress mats, beaded curtains and curtains were replaced with brand new. Although they are all plain, after taking care of them, the interior of the house has a new feeling.

After lunch, someone came to the palace.

Fu Ying, under the envy of the cousins, got into the carriage with the Song family, and followed the chamberlain all the way into the palace.

This time, I was not invited to the pantry to eat tea like I did yesterday when I went to Kunning Palace. Instead, they were taken directly to the black marble porch outside the Heart Cultivation Hall.

Song and Fu Ying, according to the rules taught by Aunt Xu Hua yesterday, knelt down under the corridor and saluted, waiting for the emperor to summon them.

The great eunuch Su Yunquan glanced at the two of them, and then went in and replied.

After a while, Su Yunquan came out and only said: "The emperor is busy, you two will wait." ”

"Yes." Song and Fu Ying hung their heads. He could not enter without being summoned, and he did not dare to get up without permission, so he had to kneel under the porch.

Who knows, after kneeling for two hours, their mother and daughter were not summoned, and no one told them to be flattened. Several ministers came and went, and when they passed by them, they asked the great eunuch Su Yunquan in a low voice, and Su Yunquan would also explain: This is the widow of Marquis Wuluo, and she has been summoned by Emperor Longen to face the saint.

Sunset.

Fu Ying and Song's knees, which had already knelt, were red and swollen and sweaty.

They understood that this was the emperor's punishment for their kneeling in disguise, so that people could see that the widows of the ministers who flattered the Zhou Dynasty of the Shangguo Kingdom were not as they expected to ascend to the sky.

Fu Ying recalled the appearance of the sisters at home before she went out, and couldn't help but laugh. Because they wasted so much envy, jealousy and hatred, no one would have thought that the Marquis of Wu Liu's family would enter the palace to face the saint, not only did they not see the face of the saint, but they were also hit by several arrows in the knee, right?

"Mrs. Wu Liuhou." Su Yunquan came closer, his voice was hoarse with some sharpness, and he said slowly: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, I'm afraid I won't be free today." Tell our family to come and spread the word. ”

The mother and daughter hurriedly kowtowed: "Listen to the emperor's orders." ”

Su Yunquan said: "The emperor said that Mrs. Wu Liuhou will be a good one-pin order. Because there was no male in the line of Marquis Wuluo, and no one inherited the hereditary title, the eldest daughter of Marquis Wulue was pre-named Mrs. Mu Enbo. ”

Fu Ying was stunned.

She hasn't gotten married yet, what kind of lady is she!

Seeing Fu Ying's doubts, Su Yunquan said: "Emperor Shengming, considering the situation in your house, if anyone marries the eldest daughter of Marquis Wuluo in the future, it will be Mu Enbo, and the will of canonization and sealing will be sent on the day of the wedding." Still not grateful? ”

The stunned mother and daughter kowtowed.

This series of wills made both of their minds stop for a moment.

Su Yunquan said again: "The emperor has observed the people's feelings, learned about the situation outside, and specially allowed Fu Qi to choose her own son-in-law. lest there be another such thing and make people laugh. Also, the emperor instructed our family to ask Miss Seven, what was written in the suicide note that day, but why did she commit suicide? ”
