Chapter 70: Mother
Beijing, Yao's family.
Yao's third wife, Zhang, is counting the gifts sent to her parents' house.
Mother Sun came in and said, "Third wife, my aunt is here." ”
"Sister?" Zhang asked in a low voice.
Mother Sun's jaw head, "It's the second aunt's wife." ”
Zhang hurriedly greeted him.
Zhang's second sister married the younger brother of Zhongyi Hou, and she was called Mrs. Zhao Si on weekdays.
Zhao Si's wife Zhang Yuzhen is happy and worried these days, seeing that Zhang is busy holding her sister's hand, "The elders of the clan gathered together to discuss, and our female dependents were waiting next to me, when it came to the title, all the female dependents were looking at me, I was forced to be calm, as if the matter of the title had nothing to do with me, in fact, who didn't know, our lord may inherit the title in the end, the Taoist priest who came last time didn't say, our Zhang family will be double happy, I think this 'double happiness' will not be the father to inherit the knight, our lord also inherited." ”
Zhang Yuzhen patted her chest with her hand, "But I'm so nervous." ”
Zhang's face was full of smiles, and he lifted the handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Zhang Yuzhen's forehead, "Didn't my father say that there is no need to worry about these things, you are blessed, your brother-in-law has military merits, and the most promising thing in the Zhao family is your brother-in-law, who will you give the title to your brother-in-law." ”
Zhang Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "What I said is that no one is as good as the master when it comes to this," she said and looked around, "Now I'm just afraid that the prince will be found." ”
The emperor asked him to find the prince of Zhongyi, but there was no news, saying that he had to wait, in fact, everyone knew that it was impossible for the prince to come back.
Mrs. Zhongyi Hou washed her face with tears every day, and their female dependents would go to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to accompany them.
What is it all for, everyone knows it.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi is so big. Who doesn't want to move in and be Mrs. Hou.
Zhang said: "There has been no movement for so many days, where can I find it back." ”
I heard my sister say the same thing. Zhang Yuzhen completely relaxed.
Zhang Yuzhen said: "Our family is from a noble background, and we have known about these things since we were children. Whenever I can be at peace, those people are different. ”
"My sister didn't see it, the ladies of the clan went to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion and said that they were accompanying the second sister-in-law, but in fact, they were all dangling by my side," Zhang Yuzhen opened the fan, shook it a few times, and then pursed her lips and laughed, "After marrying the Zhao family for so many years, I finally looked forward to this day." ”
Zhang Yuzhen chattered endlessly, and Mother Sun brought tea and fruit plates with her subordinates.
Ate a snack. Zhang Yuzhen said: "Where is Brother Huan?" I brought good things for Brother Huan. ”
Speaking of Brother Huan, Zhang's smile on his face, "Feed the fish with his fifth uncle in the back garden." ”
Zhang Yuzhen laughed, "Brother Huan is blessed, with a mother like you, as well as his father and fifth uncle who love him, it's a pity that my brother-in-law's life is not good, if I hadn't married the Shen family and married you early in the morning, the family business would be much richer than now." ”
Zhang didn't laugh triumphantly with Zhang Yuzhen. Instead, he raised his eyebrows, and his bright expression revealed a bit of gentleness, "Don't say that, the Shen family's dowry is not less than mine." ”
Zhang Yuzhen said it indignantly. "After all, it is a woman from the Shangjia family, although she has been suspended, her name is still on your head. I get angry at the thought of this, you are notoriously beautiful and virtuous among our sisters. How could my father marry you to the Yao family," he paused at this point. "How old is Shen's daughter? Isn't it time to get married? What are you going to do? In my opinion, let the elders find someone to marry in Taixing, and never let her return to Beijing. ”
"Lest you spoil your reputation and make you angry when you look at it."
The daughter of a divorced woman, who wants to be under her nose.
It's better to branch it far away, and life or death has nothing to do with this family.
He was talking.
Brother Huan's voice came from outside, "Mother, mother, look at the flowers that Brother Huan picked for you, how beautiful they are." ”
Zhang Yuzhen raised her head and saw a large and small figure outside.
The man with a long body stood beside Brother Huan, with pale cyan straight hair, long ink-like hair, bright eyebrows and eyes like the moon in the water, gently enveloping a layer of mist on it, and the wide belt tied around the waist, showing a particularly slender posture, blown by the wind, the long sleeves flew like a butterfly about to flutter, and the whole person seemed to come out of the painting, making people want to approach, but they didn't dare to stretch out their hands, for fear that they would melt when they touched Danmo.
Zhang Yuzhen couldn't help but be stunned.
The man obviously didn't expect that there were still guests at home, so he bowed his head and gave a few orders, turned around and walked out.
Zhang Yuzhen came back to her senses.
That's Master Yao Wu.
The famous beautiful man in Beijing is not only beautiful in life, but also amiable, and the women in Beijing are talking in a whisper, and they don't know who can marry him as a stepfamily.
Brother Huan grabbed a large bouquet of flowers, jumped into the door, and then threw himself into Zhang's arms, "Mother, mother, look at the flowers that the fifth uncle helped me pick together, does my mother like it?" ”
Zhang's eyes smiled into a slit, "I like it, my mother likes it the most," took the flower from Brother Huan's hand, and then approached the end of his nose, the smile on his face was like frosting on a pastry, sweetly melting.
Brother Huan climbed down from Zhang's body, "I still want the fifth uncle, I want the fifth uncle ......"
Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "Your fifth uncle still has something to do." ”
Brother Huan writhed in Zhang's arms, "Don't, I'm looking for the fifth uncle." ”
Zhang's suddenly had no choice, and the mother outside heard the voice and entered the door, "The fifth master is in the front yard, otherwise the slave will bring the eighth master over." ”
The Zhang family had no choice but to follow Brother Huan, "Take it with you, let Brother Huan not make trouble." ”
The nurse immediately stepped forward and led Brother Huan down.
Seeing Brother Huan's small figure leaving the courtyard, Zhang Yuzhen remembered, "By the way, I have something to tell you, the maiden family of the sixth wife of your family, inquired about the daughter of the divorced woman, and probably wanted to get married." ”
Zhang's face was dazed.
"Look at you, I don't know this, and I have to be reminded by an outsider," Zhang Yuzhen took her sister's hand, "Thanks to your brother-in-law for being kind to you, otherwise, with your temperament, there is a favorite concubine at home, and you will not be forced to die." ”
"You're just too generous."
Zhang looked at Zhang Yuzhen, "Is there anyone in the Shou family who is of the same age?" ”
Zhang Yuzhen smiled: "Why not, Shouyuantang's son." ”
Zhang's face changed suddenly, "That's not good." Is that...... That's ......" Hurriedly shook his head, "whose good daughter is willing to marry." ”
and spoke for the daughter of the divorced woman.
"You." Zhang Yuzhen frowned, "You are so kind-hearted." If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been so thrilling when you gave birth, thanks to me for letting my father come forward and reprimand my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law sent her to Taixing ruthlessly, depending on you, you will definitely leave her behind......"
Zhang raised his head, "It's the second sister who feels sorry for me." ”
Zhang Yuzhen smiled: "It's good that you know." ”
Zhang Yuzhen sat for a while and left.
Zhang returned to the inner room and sat on the brocade pestle, not knowing what he was thinking, when there was a crisp birdsong outside, and the wind blew and the leaves rattled. She was suddenly looking forward to the next heavy rain.
This rain was so deep that the yard was full of water, and the people in the yard couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in, so that she could lie down on the chaise longue and rest with no one disturbing her to enjoy the peace of this moment.
A smile appeared on Zhang's face.
"Mrs. is so happy today, is it because the in-laws have inherited the knighthood?" Mother Sun said softly.
Let's just think she's because of her father.
Zhang nodded and gently tugged at the placket of his clothes, which had the fragrance of peach blossoms. Like incense in a tent.
"The master is back."
The little maid Xiangye came in to pray.
Zhang was a little surprised, "So early." ”
Zhang's whole clothes were about to be welcomed out, but he remembered something again, and hurriedly turned around. "Bring me that green gown."
The maid hurriedly served Zhang's to change clothes, and the peach-colored gown was changed, and Zhang's said, "It's folded." No need to wash. "The clothes have only been worn for half a day, so they don't need to be washed.
"The tent has been changed. The old man didn't like peach, so he changed to a cyan gauze tent. Zhang pulled her hair and smiled happily in the mirror, and then the expression settled on her face.
As he spoke, Yao Yiwen strode into the door, and Zhang hurriedly greeted him, with a happy face, "Why is the master so early today, the fifth uncle is still waiting for the master in front." ”
Yao Yiwen looked at the Zhang family with a shy smile on his face, and his originally tense heart suddenly relaxed, and saw the maid hugging the peach-colored tent, "Why do you want to change the tent again?" ”
"Take it out and hang it, the lord doesn't like bright colors, so the concubine body will be replaced with a cyan one."
Knowing that his wife was worried about him, Yao Yiwen sighed, "Don't be so troublesome." ”
"It's pleasing to the eye, and the old man also feels comfortable."
Zhang's is so submissive to people, and he doesn't think too much about it in his heart, after entering the Yao family, he follows him everywhere, not as strong as Shen's, everything has to be told to him about a courtesy, and small things must be kept in mind, he goes out to socialize late, and he also keeps talking in his ear.
Husbands and wives should be like him and Zhang.
Somehow, every time he sees Zhang's family, Yao Yiwen will appear in his mind arguing with him, Shen is not good, just a few years after they got married, the relationship between them is also good, with Wanning, there is more laughter in the family, that is, since the concubine, the Shen family is always unforgiving regardless of big and small things, and often says in front of him that his father's is not, how can he have been taking the imperial examination without his father.
My father was talented and learned, but he was not suitable for the imperial examination.
Who in Taixing County doesn't know his father's reputation, without his father, there would be no Yao family today, Shen doesn't even understand this, just because of this, he went to the study angrily and let Agarwood serve.
Agarwood was pregnant, Shen looked unhappy, his father was afraid that Agarwood would have a mistake, so he deliberately let Agarwood raise a fetus in the ancestral house, and everything was good, Agarwood saw that he was about to give birth, but rolled down the stairs......
Yao Yiwen drove these past events out of his mind and enjoyed the service of this Zhang family, Zhang's hands were very light, and he quickly took off his clothes.
Zhang said: "The master should go to Aunt Yang tonight, and the concubine has already let Aunt Yang stay at the door." ”
Since the last miscarriage, Zhang's health has not been good, and he rarely serves him, "I will stay with you at night." ”
Zhang's face turned red, but he lowered his head and smiled, "Where is it, the master hasn't been to Aunt Yang for a long time, since the rules have been set, the master must also follow the arrangement of the concubine, don't let the concubine be bad." ”
"How can I be in this mood," Yao Yi heard, "I heard that something happened to Nanzhili over there......
Zhang didn't grab the words, but listened to Yao Yiwen.
"It's far away from the capital, no one can say what's going on, we can only wait, our side is fine, I'm afraid the household department and the criminal department will be in trouble."
"I don't know if there's anything wrong with Taixing." Zhang said, "I knew it wasn't peaceful over there. Father and mother should be brought to Beijing. ”
Yao Yiwen is very sure, "These things don't involve my father." ”
Zhang sat down. Yao Yiwen stretched out his hand to brush Zhang's black and shiny hair, but Zhang dodged over, "In broad daylight, there are people watching." ”
Zhang is a woman from a large family, and she is always very reserved in front of him, whether it is on weekdays or in the bed, she is always suppressed.
Yao Yiwen suddenly frowned, "I don't know how my father taught Wanning, Wanning's temper must not be like the Shen family." If something happens in the future, it will hurt your reputation. ”
"Okay, master, go and see the fifth uncle, the fifth uncle has been playing with Brother Huan for most of the day."
Under Zhang's urging, Yao Yiwen stood up, "I'll go over and take a look." ”
Zhang sent Yao Yiwen out of the door.
In the blink of an eye, it rained, and a drop of rain fell on Zhang's collar, and Zhang frowned. It's not a good day.
……
Heavy rain was pouring down.
It rained all day in Taizhou.
The second old lady closed her eyes as if she was drowsy, the Yao clan people in the room looked at each other, and Yao Yizhou said in a low voice: "Mother, the elders of the clan are asking you." What to do about this? ”
The second old lady woke up and looked at the wide-eyed clansmen, "This is not easy to do." Those who owe debts pay the money, and those who owe rice grain go to ask for rice. You and the three rooms will solve the matter by yourself. ”
The third room is now lost in the borrowed ticket, and the rice and grain have also been confiscated by the imperial court. These clansmen who follow Sanfang to make black money on weekdays naturally panicked.
Suddenly, someone said, "Let's go find the third old lady." ”
The second old lady bowed her head from the heart, and that's right.
That's what I want.
Seeing off the clansmen, Yao Yixian's family knelt down, "Thanks to the second old lady, if it weren't for the second old lady, how could our family raise their heads, now everyone knows about the third room, and there are many fewer people talking about our sister Hui." ”
"Don't thank me," said the second old lady, "thank Wanning." ”
Xie Wanning, without Wanning, the Yao clan doesn't know what to do if it continues like this.
Mother Gui happily entered the door, "Old lady, I asked in the kitchen, is it time to make dumplings." ”
It's time to eat dumplings.
Yao Wanhui stepped forward to serve the second old lady and sat up.
The second old lady felt very comfortable in her heart, "I stayed to eat dumplings with me today, and I have wronged you all these years." ”
Yao Yixian and his clan brothers looked at each other, "Where is this, old lady?" ”
The Yao family hall was bursting with laughter.
The second old lady said: "I asked people to take snacks from Taixing Building and called the children out to eat snacks." ”
Gui's mother led someone to put out the snacks, and the children in the clan immediately ran around the hall.
The second old lady looked out of the house.
The rain kept falling, and I didn't know where Wan Ning was.
……
The rain kept falling.
Wan Ning stood in front of the carriage and looked at the small courtyard in front of her.
After her mother returned to the Shen family, she lived here.
After a while, the mother in the yard came out and said: "Miss Seven, the lady please go back, Miss Seven has finally gained a foothold in the Yao family, and it is impossible to settle the truth at this time, the lady is fine, accept the things you sent, and that's it." ”
Mrs. Shen looked at Wan Ning, "It's already raining, let's go back first, and I'll talk to your mother tomorrow." ”
Chen Niang didn't know that Wanning had grown up and was no longer the child who was at the mercy of others, so she was so afraid.
Mrs. Shen Si couldn't help sighing, all mothers are the same, when they were young, they were afraid that they would not take good care of their children, and when their children grew up, they were afraid of affecting them.
Chen Niang is in a bad situation now, if it affects Wanning's reputation, how will Wanning marry.
What's more, Chen Niang is still looking forward to Wanning marrying into the Chen family, the Chen family is a scholarly family, and the daughter-in-law she wants to marry must not be criticized for her etiquette and virtue.
If a woman can't have a good family, this life will be over.
"Your mother already knows your thoughts, so that's it," Mrs. Shen Si persuaded Wan Ning, "The coming day will be long, and when you settle down in a few years, your mother will be able to see you." ”
Wan Ning knew the ancient etiquette and wanted to ignore her mother, who was divorced.
Flesh and blood affection is not worth a letter of resignation.
This is something she can never agree with.
She's not afraid of being talked about.
If she was afraid of this, she would not have rebelled against her grandfather, and she would not have traveled all the way to Yangzhou to see her mother.
The rain is getting heavier.
Shen walked around the room.
"Lady, otherwise, you will meet Miss Seven, this is Yangzhou, not Taixing, no one will know." Zhou's mother persuaded softly.
Shen Shi, who was wearing a half-used sauce-colored gown, sat on the chair in a panic, she would think of Wan Ning every day when she was a child, and Wan Ning liked to lean on her arms and listen to her hum the most.
She didn't sing well, but Wanning liked it, and the fleshy little hands patted on her arms, dancing with indescribable joy.
She could never have imagined that she would never see her daughter grow up.
Daughter......
Her greatest wish in life is to see her daughter again, and she prays day and night for such an opportunity.
But now she resents herself.
It shouldn't be this way.
You shouldn't be so extravagant.
"Didn't you say that there were people in the Yao clan following...... They will all know that the paper can't contain the fire......" Shen's face was covered with a layer of black, and he was indescribably decadent.
"Old Lady Yao won't spare Wanning." No one knows better than her the temperament of Old Lady Yao's retribution.
She is already a wasted person, and she can't drag Wanning down.
Mother Zhou couldn't help but have red eyes, the lady had already thought about these clearly.
"As long as Wanning is fine, I will be content, so it will be good......" Shen looked outside and muttered.
……
"Miss, or let's go back to Shen's house first......" Mother Tong couldn't help but whisper to persuade, the wind was very strong, and Miss Seven's clothes were already wet.
Everyone whispered and persuaded him.
"It's not a way to go on like this."
Wan Ning looked at the tightly guarded door, yes, there is no way to go on like this.
Wan Ning lifted the corner of her skirt and slowly knelt down.
The blue dress was soaked in muddy water, and the little girl knelt upright, as if she would not get up no matter what, her clear eyes stared closely at the black door, and her gaze was so focused.
"Miss......"
"Wanning, what are you doing, hurry up."
No one can shake her.
She wants to see her mother, and only she, a daughter, knows how to see her mother.
