Chapter 6: Strange Things
The matter of the separation of the family is naturally settled, Jiannanhou and his wife are in charge, and they only informed their son, and they didn't think they needed to say hello to their daughter-in-law at all, and she was still taking care of her sick son in her yard, the child had just improved, and the blockade in the yard could be solved, so she heard about the separation, and she didn't even have time to breathe, so she hurried over.
Jiang Shi quietly glanced at Chuncao again, anxious. She knew that since the temperament of the ether's mother-in-law Zhang did not intend to continue to be entangled in the matter of separating the family, she would probably move out in the next few days, and the people waiting around her would naturally follow suit. But fortunately, seeing that Zhang's expression was normal, he obviously didn't know what news he had.
She began to choke and shed tears: "This really shouldn't be, I feel blushing when I hear it, people like ours, no matter how big the grievance is, it can't be more than a 'ceremony', it's just that I'm a junior, it's really hard to say anything, and I hope the old lady doesn't blame me for not daring to say a word of justice." ”
The Zhang family has seen a lot of the mean face of his stepson and stepdaughter-in-law, and after listening to the words of this cheap granddaughter-in-law today, his heart is much better, and his face has softened: "That's it, you also have your difficulties, how can I blame you?" You have a good life, in the future, the master of this house will be the new marquis, he is a filial mother, I don't know what jokes will be made, but you can bear it. ”
Jiang's heart was even more depressed, isn't this what she thinks in her heart? But now Aunt Qian's grandmother is scared of the rumors and falls ill, I'm afraid that she won't be able to do anything for a while, and when she gets better, she will be honest if she puts the rumors again.
But that's nothing, the spring grass in front of you is the big problem.
Jiang Shi pretended to be pitiful again: "What can we do as juniors, except for respecting and obeying the wishes of our elders?" Thinking about it, my aunt and grandmother are not unreasonable, and our uncle is also her flesh and blood. Then he smiled and asked, "When does the old lady plan to move?" This move is not a trivial matter, there must always be manpower, the wife is busy, I am afraid that she can't take care of it, and the granddaughter-in-law can still help. ”
Zhang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, if there is anything you need help with, I will definitely speak." ”
Jiang Shi answered, peeked at Chuncao again, and got up to leave. She had to go to her mother-in-law Niu to persuade her, and before she solved the spring grass, she couldn't let the Zhang family's mother and son leave the Hou Mansion!
As soon as she left, Zhao Zhuo walked out of the West House, and Mi Shi also returned to her mother-in-law with her daughter in her arms, with a puzzled face: "Strange, although she is quite thoughtful, she has always been a wise person to protect herself, and she never interferes in the disputes between our two rooms, how can she speak up now?" ”
Zhao Zhuo was a little disapproving: "Jue's daughter-in-law is not enough, right?" This time, it was the eldest brother and sister-in-law who went too far, and even the juniors looked at it and felt that it was not like it. ”
Zhang taught his daughter-in-law: "Whether she has other ideas or not, since she is here to appease, don't be suspicious of others, maybe she really has good intentions?" She is the daughter of a serious eunuch, and she can't compare with the nouveau riche style of your sister-in-law's family. ”
Mi smiled, Niu's cautious and unpolite style is really a nouveau riche, his family was originally a rebel of the previous dynasty, and was defeated by the Qing army, if it weren't for the large number of remnants, Emperor Taizu recruited people for the sake of the overall situation, where is there still a way for the Niu family to live? Since she is not from a family that is not from the right path, it is not surprising that it makes no sense to do things, and the Jiang family is not as nonsense as her.
Zhao Xiu watched speechlessly as the three of them, mother and son, excused the Jiang family's strange behavior, and then looked at Chuncao, who was standing on the side, with a pale face, and expressed deep sympathy in his heart. It seems that the Jiang family has asked the truth from the girl's nurse afterwards, and Brother Ze is only afraid that it is really unclean, so in order to save her son, she first killed Brother Hong'er's nurse, and then spread the rumor that the county grandfather was reluctant to take away a companion from his descendants in the house, which suppressed everyone's suspicions, and now she has the idea of spring grass again. If their family moves out separately and takes away Chuncao, she is a woman in the house, and she is still controlled by her mother-in-law, so it is naturally inconvenient to extinguish her mouth, and I don't know what tricks will come up now.
At this time, someone came again, but it was a girl brought by the Jiang family, named Hong Aya, who saluted Zhang and the others with a smile: "Our grandmother just dropped a handkerchief in this house. Mi Shi saw that there was indeed a handkerchief on the chair that Jiang had just sat on, so he asked her to take it back.
Hongya smiled and said: "So that the old lady and the second lady know, when I just walked back, I met Mother Du, who was on an errand at the back door, and was about to come in to report a message to Sister Chuncao, someone from her house came, saying that her old son suddenly fell and fell unconscious, and the doctor came to see that it was not very good, and asked her to hurry home and take a look." I thought that Mother Du was the person at the back door, she shouldn't have come into the inner courtyard, and she was speaking for the old lady's sister here, if someone saw it, and she didn't know what kind of lawsuit was going to happen, so she volunteered to talk back for her. ”
Chuncao has long been colorless, and she can't refuse such a reason, whether it's true or not. At this moment, she only hated that she hadn't told the Zhang family the truth earlier, otherwise the housemother would block it for her.
Zhang really didn't suspect it: "This is not a trivial matter, Chuncao go home and take a look, if it's good, if it's not good, then send someone in to deliver the letter." He also instructed his daughter-in-law Mi Shi: "Reward her with ten taels of silver, and let her ask the doctor to take medicine for her." Mi Shi answered, handed over her daughter to her husband to hold, and went into the house to get the money herself.
Chuncao trembled and knelt down to kowtow to Zhang's thanksgiving, and when she got up, her face was blue and gray, and everyone could see that something was wrong, but she only thought she was worried about her mother, so Zhang's comforted her again: "Don't be afraid, your old man is not too old, maybe he just fell hard, and he will wake up soon." The expression on Chuncao's face was about to cry.
Zhao Xiu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly reached out to reach the spring grass, and screamed "ahhhhhh Zhao Zhuo was inexplicably surprised: "What's wrong?" took a step in the direction of Chuncao, and this step alone made Zhao Xiu grab Chuncao's sleeve, and then never let go.
Zhang frowned: "Eldest sister, don't mess around, Chuncao's father is sick, and I'm waiting for her to go back to visit her." ”
Zhao Xiu suddenly made a loud noise and cried, anyway, she is a child now, and it is common for children to cry.
Mi Shi heard the voice and hurriedly ran out of the house: "What's the matter?" Why do you cry so much? Zhao Xiu just didn't care, blindly grabbed Chuncao's sleeve and didn't let go, Chuncao seemed to suddenly open her mind, regarded the little master as a life-saving straw, hugged her very cleverly, coaxed and patted a few times, Zhao Xiu also very cooperatively accepted the cry.
Mi Shi hurriedly stepped forward to hug his daughter to check, but he didn't expect Zhao Xiu to cry again as soon as he left Chuncao's arms, this time he cried even more, and he felt a little out of breath, and when he looked closely, he was choked by saliva, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to, and his whole little face was coughing red. Mi felt sorry for her daughter, and hurriedly called Chuncao: "Hurry up and hug her and pat her, what's going on?" I don't see her so clingy to you on weekdays. ”
Chuncao's face flushed, and she was a little suspicious in her heart, could it be that she was talking to her sister-in-law that day, and the eldest sister was playing on the side, did she really understand? Is this one-year-old really so smart?
No matter what the reason for Zhao Xiu suddenly becoming very clingy to her, Chuncao didn't think much about it at the moment in order to save her life, so she hugged the little master and began to gently pat her back. Zhao Xiu is usually raised by her grandmother Zhang's side, Chuncao is Zhang's right-hand girl, naturally she has a lot of experience in taking care of children, a set of actions is done, so skilled that people can't make mistakes, Zhao Xiu's situation is gradually improving, but she just tuggs Chuncao's clothes vigorously and refuses to let go.
Zhang was a little angry and taught his daughter-in-law: "How to teach the child?" It looks good on weekdays, but it's messing around at this juncture! Then he asked, "What about the nurse?" Why isn't this here?! ”
Mi Shi bowed his head and didn't dare to argue, but said: "Fang is still here, but I'm afraid that I will also get the letter and go home." "Zhao Xiu's nurse Chen Wang, known as Pearl Sister-in-law, was originally Chuncao's sister-in-law.
Zhao Zhuo hurriedly played a round: "Mother is angry, why don't you use our post to go to the Spring Hall and ask the doctor to go to Chuncao's house?" When the eldest sister is here, it's not too late to put the spring grass back. ”
Zhang glared at his granddaughter and slowed down: "That's it." Zhao Xiu didn't dare to look at her, so he just buried his head in Chuncao's arms and didn't speak.
Chuncao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Hong Aya's face became ugly, and her smile became a little stiff, but Zhang's spoke, and Zhao Zhuo took the post again to ask someone to ask for a doctor, and she could only temporarily retire as a "messenger" and go back to the housemother to discuss how to deal with it.
Not long after, the person sent by Zhao Zhuo came back to reply: "The little one went to the Huichun Hall to ask the doctor to go to the Chen family, and the Chen family said that Uncle Chen had never fallen, and Ming'er would have to be on an errand." ”
The Zhang family was puzzled, and it happened that Sister-in-law Pearl came back, and it turned out that she was pulled by the people in Jiang's courtyard to speak, so she stopped her feet. Mi asked people to go to the back door to ask what was going on, but the answer they got was that Du's mother had taken leave today and went home early, and no one knew if she had ever gone into the inner courtyard to spread the word.
Mi said unhappily: "It's probably because Nadu's mother wanted to wander around in the inner courtyard, but she was met by the girl next to Jue's daughter-in-law, so she made up a reason to fool the past." It's just that the cursed father is critically ill, and he is too lacking in virtue. "Think about it, if it is not Jiang's girl who encounters this, but the people in Niu's courtyard, I am afraid that I will make trouble by taking advantage of the fact that Chuncao is mother-in-law and girl.
Zhao Zhuo sneered: "In the past, when my mother was in charge of the house, how could there have been such a mess? Now what will this Mrs. Jiannanhou do in addition to fighting for idleness? ! ”
Zhang frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
Chuncao and Zhao Xiu in the east room breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were stunned again, Zhao Xiu put on an innocent and ignorant expression again, and while pulling the small shoes on her feet with her hands, she smiled toothlessly at people, but Chuncao looked her up and down, left and right, and left and right for a long time, before she burst out laughing and touched her head: "Good big sister, you are really a clever child, you will definitely have a great future in the future!" Well, big deal! ”
At this moment, Jiang Shi was sitting in his room, but his face was solemn. Hong Aya stood in front of her, a little uneasy: "Grandma? ”
Jiang Shi slowly stood up: "That's it, we have to find a way to deal with this matter from Mrs., as long as they can't share the family, there will always be a chance to start in the future!" ”
Hong Aya whispered: "But Madame is only afraid that she is looking forward to the old lady and the second master and the second wife moving out of the Hou Mansion as soon as possible, how can they not be separated?" ”
Jiang Shi looked at her and smiled deeply.
