Chapter 203: Maintenance

The people of the Guo family forced He Zhiliang to promise not to renew the string for three years, and to serve the Guo family and keep filial piety.

When Mrs. Xie found out, she was so angry that she almost lifted the roof, she pointed at He Zhiliang and scolded: "You spineless weak thing, you can do whatever the Guo family wants you to do, but you are obedient, why don't you listen to my words!?" ”

He Zhiliang's temperament has always been to bully the weak and fear the hard. Although he was also dissatisfied with the Guo family's arrangement, in the face of the Guo family's strength and what he had to worry about, he had to give in for the time being.

Mrs. Xie originally planned, as long as she waited for Guo's death, she would be able to marry Miss Zhang's family into the door within half a year, but now it's okay, if you want Miss Zhang's family to wait for three years, how can the Zhang family be willing. I was afraid that something would happen to the Zhang family, so I had to send someone to help mediate.

The Zhang family is just an ordinary small family, and it is good that the family background is innocent, but Miss Zhang's father is a gambler and a drinker, and he heard that the He family is willing to pay a high dowry to marry his daughter, so he agreed to this family affair regardless of whether it was a continuation or not. Miss Zhang's family was originally unhappy, but her mother went to meet He Zhiliang and came back to tell her, "The other party's person is a talent, one in a hundred." ”

Miss Zhang was shaken, she knew that her mother never lied to her.

Mrs. Xie paid to help Mrs. Zhang's family repay her gambling debts, and also helped them buy a small shop, thinking that this marriage was a certainty, but the Zhang family heard some rumors from somewhere, and the Zhang family actually repented, and the small shop was gone, and the deed was returned, and the line was drawn with the He family.

At this time, Mrs. Xie panicked, but she didn't expect the Zhang family, who had always been weak and bullied. This time, it turned out to be tough. There must be someone behind the trouble, and it's not hard to figure out who is doing the bad. But they only have dumb people who eat coptis chinensis, and they swallow all the bitterness in their stomachs.

He Zhiliang knew that his mother was heartbroken for his business. Why wasn't he anxious, the Zhang family's affairs had come to an end. He proposed to his mother: "Mother, it's better to wait for the service to be full, and marry the Zhou family." ”

Old Madam Xie didn't care much about the outer room raised by He Zhiliang before, but when she heard that she was going to marry the Zhou family, she was not happy, and said angrily: "A singer is born, can you marry in too?" Even if she raised a son later. Can you teach our children and grandchildren well? ”

He Zhiliang said: "The Zhou family can marry her if she can give birth to a son, right?" ”

"I didn't open this mouth. Zhou, you really like it, it's good to raise an aunt, be the mistress of our He family. You have to get your hands on it. Don't affect your career in the future. You're not too young, so you should think about it. Old Madam Xie's tough attitude didn't let He Zhiliang make too much distinction.

The Zhou family thought that they could take the opportunity to take the position, but they didn't know whether the He family disliked her background and refused to give her an upright identity. This left her unsatisfied.

Not to mention the troubles of the He family after the Guo family left. Yunzhu is now worried about Tian Tian's situation. In the past, there was Guo in the He family to help take care of it. This Guo is gone, but I am afraid that Tian Tian's situation will be even worse. She wants Tian Tian to come back to her, but she has to think of a way, otherwise He Jia is willing to agree?

Yunzhu has been struggling to find a countermeasure, Tian Tian was restrained at home by Mrs. Xie, and he was not allowed to be free easily, even when He was busy a while ago, Tian Tian did not sneak out to see the mother and daughter.

On the third day of the fifth month, Mrs. Shangguan's birthday. Although it was only a scattered life, Yunzhu also asked Feng Lao Niang to prepare a congratulatory gift.

"Look at this fabric."

Yunzhu touched it. Nodding his head, he said: "This is a high-quality palace silk, and the pattern of the Rui Que branch is also auspicious, but the color seems to be a little old-fashioned." Although Mrs. Shangguan is a few years older than me, she is also dressed brightly, and this dark green and shining gold is a little darker. I remember that there used to be a kind of rose-colored cloud brocade woven with gold in Jinxiufang, which was not too vulgar and glamorous, and it was not old-fashioned, it was really good-looking. ”

Feng Lao Niang understood what Yunzhu meant, most of the family's money was also given by General Zhao, and of course she couldn't be stingy with gifts for the general's wife. Hearing what Yunzhu said, I went to Jinxiufang to see it, and looked around, and sure enough, there was the name that Yunzhu said, which is indeed rich and elegant, and has both.

In addition to this piece of fabric, Mrs. Feng prepared a high-quality agarwood incense, and Yunzhu took a bottle of rose dew made in the past and sent it to the general's mansion.

After only half a day, an invitation from Mrs. Shangguan was sent and Yunzhu was asked to go to the banquet of the Zhao family.

Seeing that Yunzhu's body was so heavy, Feng Lao Niang frowned and said, "How can you go like this, you are afraid of the heat." ”

Yunzhu smiled: "Since I am asked to go by name, how can I shirk it, if my mother is not at ease, just join me." I asked Ah Hong to hire a sedan chair, and we went to have dinner and came back. Anyway, I'm bored at home. ”

Mrs. Feng had no choice but to let her go.

Ah Hong took the money, and really went to the place where the sedan chair was hired in the market to hire a sedan chair for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Yun Zhu wore a decent dress, tied up a bun as usual, and cleaned up properly. Because of the wide clothes, although she is almost six months pregnant, it is not very obvious at the moment.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the general's mansion together, this time it was the general's wife who took the initiative to invite them, from entering the side door to getting off the sedan chair at the hanging flower door, and there were servants leading them all the way. After getting off the sedan car, there is a maid to support. However, Ah Hong came up one step earlier, for fear that Yunzhu would make a mistake.

When Mrs. Feng came to the General's Mansion for the first time, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, and when she saw the General's wife for a while, she might not know how nervous she would be, and if she wanted to say anything at that time, she had to have a draft first.

Mrs. Shangguan entertained guests in Fen Garden, and the people who came and went were all close people who used to walk around in the past. Yunzhu hadn't set foot in here for months, so when she appeared, Madame Shangguan seemed very happy, and took Yunzhu by the hand and introduced her to everyone.

"This is Mrs. Xiang, and Master Xiang is a scholar, so our Mrs. Xiang is also full of poetry and books. I heard that our Mrs. Xiang was only famous when she was still in her mother's house. ”

Mrs. Xiang, who was introduced, took the initiative to get up, she was a little short and fat, looked about forty, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, wearing an autumn-colored gown, and a lot of jewels and hairpins on her head. Mrs. Xiang had a smile on her face, but she was very decent. The two greeted each other.

Then there was Mrs. Li of the Yuanwailang family. Mrs. Shu of the county family. When the Ji family of the Qian family was introduced, the Ji family was surprised at first, and then got up and said, "The general's wife doesn't need to be introduced." We know each other very well. ”

Yunzhu was surprised, she was familiar with this person? Why didn't she have any impression of who this person was? She looked dazed.

Ji didn't care who was present, and sneered: "Yo, cousin, is this remarrying?" As he spoke, he looked Yunzhu up and down, not knowing whether to say that Yunzhu was doing well or that she was not doing well.

This "cousin" made Yunzhu have some vague memories in his trance.

Although Mrs. Shangguan didn't know the ins and outs of Yunzhu. But seeing that she was a little embarrassed on her face, she hurriedly stepped forward to relieve her, and said with a smile: "It turned out that acquaintances met." Then I won't go into too much detail. Today is my birthday, please come over and live happily, no one is allowed to make me unhappy, even if it gives me face. Mrs. Shangguan said the next few words, and looked at Ji.

Ji's lips. looks like he wants to speak and stops. I had to sit back in my place. Nothing was said.

Yun Zhu and Mrs. Shangguan introduced her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Feng was very nervous all the time, so she simply said hello, and didn't dare to say anything superfluous.

Ji Shi glanced at Mrs. Feng a few times, and said in his heart: Although the clothes are not bad, they can barely be called glamorous, but at first glance, she looks like an old woman from the countryside. It's very different from her aunt. There seemed to be a lot of things that happened to this cousin that she didn't know about, and she would have to inquire about it later. My cousin couldn't say anything. Then she started with this old woman in the country. She must humiliate and humiliate this woman in front of people.

Although Mrs. Shangguan has always disliked this kind of communication, she is now in this position. For the sake of her family, the general had to come forward to deal with all kinds of interpersonal relationships.

She said to Yunzhu, "Song, you come and do me a favor." ”

Yunzhu was even more timid to deal with these people who were already unfamiliar, and hurriedly agreed.

The woman who came from nowhere was so in line with the general's wife, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Shangguan left Fen Garden with Yunzhu. On the way, Mrs. Shangguan asked Yunzhu about the Ji family

"I really didn't expect you two to know each other, or relatives, she called you cousins, but I don't know what kind of cousins you are?" According to Mrs. Shangguan's knowledge, Ji's husband's surname is right, he is a subordinate of the general, and he has a certain relationship with Mr. Liao, how can he be involved in the Feng family, no wonder Mr. Liao will try his best to recommend Feng Ping'an to her general.

Yunzhu said: "It's all in the past, I have nothing to do with the He family, don't mention it." ”

Hearing Yun Zhu say about the He family, Mrs. Shangguan was even more surprised, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and after asking, she learned that Yun Zhu had married into the He family, and was later disliked by her husband's family, so she was driven out of the He family by design, and fell to the countryside, and she also took a daughter The mother and daughter have been living a very hard life, but fortunately they met the Feng family, so they can be regarded as having a dependence.

Mrs. Shangguan looked at Yunzhu and said with pity: "Your life is not easy, if you were someone else, you might have given up a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to get over it." ”

Yunzhu said: "What's the way, you have to live." I'm down, what about my daughter. ”

Mrs. Shangguan said with a smile: "Fortunately, I finally survived, and the future will definitely become more and more prosperous." If that Ji dares to embarrass you and embarrass you, I will stand up for you. ”

Yunzhu is extraordinarily grateful.

Mrs. Shangguan is still a little short of making rose cakes to entertain the guests, so she asked Yunzhu to come over and help. Yunzhu is also a good hand at cooking these, although he hasn't made it for a long time, but he is not unfamiliar with it at all.

Mrs. Shangguan saw that Yunzhu's movements were a little slow, and she always protected her belly intentionally or unintentionally during her actions, and only after careful attention did she find the slightly protruding belly under Yunzhu's wide clothes, she was startled, and hurriedly snatched the things in Yunzhu's hand, and said: "Oh, you are too honest, why don't you tell me if it's inconvenient." I'll keep you busy with this and that, I'll do it. ”

Yunzhu smiled: "It's not a big deal, the doctor also said that you have to move around a lot, and you will be good in the future." ”

Mrs. Shangguan smiled and asked, "How many months?" ”

"It's been almost six months."

Mrs. Shangguan nodded: "It doesn't look very obvious, no wonder I didn't notice it." It looks like they had it when they were just about to leave. Are you living with your mother-in-law now? ”

"Yes."

"No, and there's no one to take care of you. I see that I will help you to recruit a few very good people to serve you. ”

Yunzhu hurriedly said: "I don't have to worry about the general's wife so much for me, I have my mother-in-law to take care of me, and there is a maid at home, so I can take care of it." ”

"Then I'll help you find a suitable nurse. You haven't looked for a nurse yet, have you? ”

Yunzhu whispered, "I'm going to milk it myself." ”

"Ouch, it's really amazing, but you also have to prepare a nurse, in case your milk is not good, and the child is not enough to eat, you have to have a preparation."

Yunzhu hadn't thought about that yet.

The matter of finding the nurse was taken care of by Mrs. Shangguan for Yunzhu.

When they returned to Fenyuan, when they were about to come to the front, they could hear that the Ji family was talking to Feng Lao Niang: "What I said is not false, and I don't coax you, Auntie, why don't you believe what I say?" When that incident came out, my aunt had nowhere to put her face and had to kick her out, and Goldfish Lane knew about it. ”

Feng Lao Niang said: "Ah Zhu is not the kind of person you said, she is a good daughter-in-law, good to my mother-in-law, extremely filial, good for peace, the husband and wife have always been harmonious, and they have never blushed." People can do it, and most of the money in our family is earned back by her. I don't believe what you say. ”

Ji Shi hurriedly said: "Oh, auntie, whether you believe it or not, this is a fact." ”

Mrs. Shangguan and Yunzhu stood behind the flower barrier, the cicadas on the tree chirped impatiently, the sun was already a little scorching, and beads of sweat rolled down Yunzhu's forehead.

Mrs. Shangguan whispered to Yunzhu: "Your mother-in-law is not bad, and she has always maintained you." ”

Yunzhu said: "Mother-in-law, she is a good person. ”

The two flashed from behind the flower barrier, and when everyone saw them, their expressions were awe-inspiring, and Ji quickly shut up. Mrs. Feng's face was a little uncomfortable.

Most of the rest of the ladies were watching the lively scene, and only Mrs. Xiang had a faint expression.

Mrs. Shangguan stepped forward to speak for Yun Zhu: "Is it interesting to turn over other people's previous scars in front of people?" You are in such a hurry to splash other people's dirty water, it seems that it is not a good moral thing. When blaming others, first look at what kind of person you are. ”

Mrs. Shangguan's words made Ji's face red, and everyone looked at her, and they were a little embarrassed, where was the momentum just now, she lowered her head, and snorted: "What I said is a lie." ”

"As I said just now, whoever causes trouble for me today will not be able to get along with me."

Ji Shi was busy and didn't dare.

Fortunately, Yunzhu told Mrs. Shangguan everything just now, otherwise Mrs. Shangguan would not know where to start if she wanted to protect Yunzhu. (To be continued......)
