Chapter 469: Unwilling
Zhou Shaojin's face was swollen and red.
She's not so weak, she's just a little embarrassed, so uncomfortable. However, Mrs. Guo and Cheng Chi both felt that she was like she was blown by the wind, and she didn't know what to do - accepting their kindness, she felt a little uneasy in her heart; I don't accept their kindness, and I am afraid of breaking their hearts.
Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to mutter, "I'm fine...... It's better to serve by the old lady's side. ”
Mama Lu has been serving by Mrs. Guo's side all the year round, and she knows that Mrs. Guo prefers this little son the most. Cheng Chi is competitive again, he will make money, he will coax the old lady not to say it, he is still a dignified two-list jinshi, and with the support of the old lady, he entered the official career, and moved to Chaoyangmen to live here under the pretext of making room for Uncle Xu, and even set up the ancestral hall in the house here. Mrs. Yuan didn't say anything in her mouth, but she was afraid that she would have already gritted her teeth at the old lady in her heart. Others don't know what Mrs. Yuan's heart knot is, but she and Mama Shi, who walk around the inner house all year round, know best.
The old lady is old, and when her old man returns to the west, Mrs. Yuan will not do anything to them, but they don't want to please them, especially if the family is on an errand in Cheng Mansion like her, it is best to stand in line early. Just like this time the Changfang and Jiuru Lane were separated, only those who have always stood on the side of the Changfang have not been left behind, either come to the capital, or stay in Jinling to help guard the sacrificial field, that is, those who are unwilling to leave home and come over, also gave the book of release, gave gold and silver fields, and also let go, saying that they can come to the capital to find the old man and the old lady for anything, so that they can not only have no shortage of food and clothing, but also will not be bullied by the countryside helpers and those small officials.
She has her own Cheng family. But what about her sons and grandchildren?
Can't you go to the Grange to be a long-term worker?
Early this morning, Mrs. Guo asked her to go to the new house to see the movement. She made up her mind.
Instead of stammering Mrs. Yuan, who has a knot with Mrs. Guo and has no shortage of sycophants around her, she might as well please Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo, who are liked by Mrs. Guo and the fourth master, and have no family background.
After listening to Zhou Shaojin's words, all Mama Lu replied with extra sincerity: "Fourth wife, you forgive me for saying too much." The old lady has three daughters-in-law, and her old man treats you as a daughter, according to me, you take out half of your heart as a daughter-in-law, and you have to take out half of your heart as a daughter, and the old lady will be very happy. Since the old lady has let you rest, you can rest. Wait until it's time for dinner and then let the maid call you. You go and serve in front of the old lady. Not only let the old lady know that you have inherited her old man's affection, but also do your duty as a daughter-in-law, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
Zhou Shaojin was a little surprised.
Mama Lu has been able to serve the old lady for so many years, of course, she is not a simple person. I want to hear a heart-wrenching word from them, or I want to get something out of their mouths. That's basically impossible.
What's wrong with Mama Lu today?
I didn't say anything. She poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told herself everything she shouldn't have said...... Attentive and unmistakable.
With the status of Mama Lu. You don't have to!
This made Zhou Shaojin can't help muttering in her heart, but she had to admit that Mama Lu's words made sense, and she thanked Mama Lu with a smile.
Mama Lu was very happy. Thoughtfully served Zhou Shaojin to lie down, and put the curtain down, and then he came out of the blue yarn cabinet.
Maybe it was two days before the wedding that she had been worried about what to do on the wedding night, and on the wedding night she forced herself to accept Cheng Chi, and Cheng Chi was difficult to satisfy after accepting Cheng Chi, until this time, Cheng Chi's pleasure, Mrs. Guo's relief, her heart settled. As she lay on the bed, exhaustion came over her like a sea of mountains, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
In a hazy moment, she heard someone talking.
“…… Children are not sensible, they don't know how important they are, and by the time we know, the wood is already in the boat......" he said, with a long sigh, "even if we know it early, it's useless...... She is a woman, and she is an inner house woman, and she is a daughter-in-law, even if she has such knowledge, she does not have such courage......"
Zhou Shaojin opened his eyes in confusion, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and then he recognized that it was Hong Xiu's mother, that is, the mother of Erfangyi's grandmother.
It seems that the Hong family doesn't want the second room and the long room to be evil.
She lay down for a while, and saw that several old ladies had been talking, so she had to pretend to be asleep, and who knew that she fell asleep again in a daze.
※
In the garden of the Cheng family, the Yuan family entertained the ladies to watch the play.
Wei Er's wife, Qiu, led Cheng Zheng and Cheng Xiao to help on the side.
Yuan saw the play and sang, Cheng Zheng and Zheng Xiao were diligent and reserved, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and a wave of tiredness hit her heart.
She tried to ask a few old ladies and wives to stay in the capital for a few more days, and wait for Jiashan's wedding to pass before leaving. Several old ladies and ladies answered politely but with a little detachment, and she knew that this was a perfunctory treatment for her as soon as she heard it. It is Guo Lao'an, who is also preparing to return to Jinling for the New Year, and has no intention of staying here.
Yuan's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
Fortunately, most of the relatives of the Yuan family are in the capital, if this is in Tongxiang, when her son gets married, her mother's family is still less than able to sit at a table, what face does Jiashan have at all?
When she thought about it, she felt like she couldn't stay any longer.
The old lady slapped her in the face like this, she not only spent more than 300 taels of silver to buy an antique hairpin for Zhou Shaojin as a meeting gift, but also helped Zhou Shaojin entertain guests and clean up the kitchen...... And make a happy and willing appearance......
She vomited so much that she vomited blood.
I couldn't help but stand up anymore, and called out to the nurse to explain a few words, and then went to the warm pavilion where I was resting under the pretext of having a headache.
Cheng Zheng, who had been paying attention to his mother, frowned almost invisibly when he looked at it.
Cheng Xiao walked over and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing!" Cheng Zheng replied subconsciously, and then felt that he didn't tell his sister, there were so many guests at home, and it would be even more troublesome if something happened, so he was silent for a moment. He added, "I'm afraid that my mother can't help but lose her temper, you look at it!" I really can't do it, so I'll go and accompany my mother. ”
Cheng Xiao thought for a while and said, "Then I'd better go and accompany my mother." ”
There are few people in the family who do not demean the hospitality of guests, but few dare to say mother.
Cheng Zheng nodded.
Cheng Xiao went to the warm pavilion.
Wu Baozhang, who was sitting behind several old ladies, old people, and wives watching the play, turned his head.
Mrs. Yuan actually left the table early.
It can be seen that not everyone in the Cheng family is waiting to see Zhou Shaojin.
A sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth.
There are so many people, from the mother of a first-grade official to the patriarch of a century-old family, from the wife of a fourth-grade official to the grandmother of Hua Xinnian, there is no one who does not praise Zhou Shaojin for being beautiful, gentle and supple. But no one mentioned that she used to be just a pitiful person living in Jiuru Lane...... It turns out that everyone in the world is a snob. watched her enter this splendid place, and they all whitewashed the peace and treated her as a wealthy lady.
Wu Baozhang thought of the time when he recognized his relatives just now.
It's an old acquaintance, and she's still her cousin-in-law, but she doesn't seem to know her. He didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye.
Wrong. She's not her cousin now. It's her own aunt, no wonder her eyes are on the top of her head.
In this world, how can there be a flower that blooms for a hundred days and is a glorious career. She is not afraid that one day she will be down, and ask to come to herself?
Didn't she just marry Cheng Chi by herself?
Thinking of Cheng Chi, Wu Baozhang felt as if there were a hundred cats scratching in his heart.
Why did she marry Cheng Chi?
Nothing, nothing, nothing...... The niece married her uncle, why didn't anyone reveal Zhou Shaojin's true face!
Wu Baozhang thought about it, and his eyes fell on the female relatives who came to recognize his relatives.
Neither the Fang family nor the Min family came, the Guo family and the Gu family have always been good friends with the Cheng family, the Shen family? Liao's family?
Then she saw Mrs. Erfangyi's sister-in-law, Mrs. Hong.
Do you want to talk to her?
Wu Baozhang stood up.
Mrs. Guo also stood up and said with a smile: "Grandma Nuo, where are you going?" Have you seen Mrs. Shenda? How I didn't see her! ”
Wu Baozhang's teeth were about to be crushed.
This Mrs. Guo is really haunted.
Since that day of the wedding, she has been staring at herself, and she has nothing to do with Mrs. Shen to press her.
She is not Mrs. Shen's daughter-in-law, why does she serve Mrs. Shen every day, as if she wants to set rules in front of Mrs. Shen.
But she didn't dare to say it.
Mrs. Shen's triangular eyes are not easy to provoke at first glance, she is just going to stay in the capital to open a shop, she also wants to take advantage of the absence of the old man and the eldest lady in the fourth room, rush back to Jinling to fight with Mrs. Wenda, take this opportunity to bring Mrs. Wen down and do whatever she wants in the fifth room in the future!
She didn't want to make a fuss and let Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Guo ruin her business!
Wu Baozhang smiled respectfully and pointed to Mrs. Shen, who was sitting in a row with her in front of her, and said with a smile: "Lao Anren is about to talk to Mrs. Qu!" ”
Qu Yuan's wife also came today, and also gave a set of gilt silver inlaid with southern pearls, the three southern pearls on the distraction, each of which is the size of a big finger and a thumb, is worth a lot of money at a glance.
Wu Baozhang's chest suddenly felt stuffy.
Mrs. Guo has already said: "I'm going to the official room, can you accompany me?" ”
Wu Baozhang had no choice but to do so, and went to the official room with Mrs. Guo.
When the play is over, there will be fireworks in the garden.
Mrs. Guo went to Mrs. Guo: "Auntie, that Grandma Nuo of the Jinling Prefect's family, you have to pay attention." In my opinion, let her go back to Jinling Mansion as soon as possible. Jiashan's wedding has Master Wen and Uncle Nuo, which is not rude...... "She told Mrs. Guo about today's incident.
Mrs. Guo's face was slightly stunned, and she said, "It's really half a blessing for my wife." Mrs. Wenda is unreliable, and it is unreliable to find a daughter-in-law, so I think the fifth room is just this number. ”
Mrs. Guo is not easy to evaluate.
Mrs. Guo said: "I know about this matter. Don't talk about it for now, just stare at her. I'll deal with this matter when I'm done with it in two days. ”
Before her words fell, Zhou Shaojin's sweet voice came from outside the door: "Mother, cousin-in-law, tea is here!" ”
The two glanced at each other, stopped the topic together, and responded with a smile, "Here we are".
