The old lady is a clear-eyed person, and she can see that the second master is a lot indifferent to the second wife, so she took advantage of such an occasion to come forward to invite the second wife to invite credit.

Unexpectedly, the second master still didn't turn around and praise the second wife, but just looked at the old lady and said with concern: "Mother is not in good health, so she shouldn't have to work." The New Year is approaching, and the affairs in the Yali are also complicated, and when the son is busy for a while, he will take his mother and eldest brother back to the old house in Jiangnan, and by the way, he can worship his father and ancestors. As for the trivial matters in the house, just leave it to the next person. ”

As soon as the old lady mentioned returning to the old mansion in Jiangnan, she also nodded: "This is the right matter." ”

The second wife lowered her head slightly, her face was pale and blue for a while, dare to be in the eyes of the second master, what she did was all what a subordinate should do? She's just a subordinate?

She gritted her teeth, a little unwilling, and raised her eyes to look at the second master again. The second master only left her with an indifferent side face, and he didn't even want to give her a handout.

The second wife hung her shoulders weakly and bowed her head silently.

When the eldest man heard that he was going back to the old house, he also came to be a little interested, and suddenly said: "I don't know if I will meet the third brother this time, speaking of which, I haven't seen the third brother for two whole years, the wind and sand in Hezhou are strong, the climate is very bad, and I don't know how the third brother is doing......

The second old man smiled when he heard this, and said: "Before, the imperial court summoned the military attache of Hezhou to return to Beijing to report on his work, although the third brother did not come back, I heard some words from other officials, saying that the third aunt is pregnant again, and this time it is still twins!" ”

The eldest lord clapped his hands and said happily: "Is this indeed the case?" ”

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly a little awkward, only the eldest and second masters were smiling on their faces, but the rest of the wives and maids were nervous. Silence.

Because the old lady in the hall turned dark.

"The officials from Hezhou all said that. Eight or nine is not far from ten. The second master didn't scruple to go to the old lady's side. The more I talked, the happier I became.

took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, suddenly became melancholy, sighed and continued: "The third brother only married the third aunt, and there was no one girl in the connecting room, and the heirs were also prosperous......."

As he spoke, his eyes blurred, if he and Qin'er hadn't had so many tribulations, he would have been willing to marry her alone. is willing to raise children with her, even if he is forced to go to Hezhou with wind and sand like the third master......

The second wife was still lowering her head, but when she heard the second master's tone, something was suddenly wrong, she raised her head and glanced at it quietly, and as she expected, the second old man frowned slightly, with a heavy and sad expression.

The second wife clenched her hands in anger, eager to tear the silk silk in her hand.

She knew that the second master always had this look. I'm just missing Feng's short-lived ghost!

The eldest master was immersed in the happy event of the third master, and raised his head to think for a while. Said: "In this way, the third brother will also go to Jiangnan this time, when the third aunt was pregnant with Sister Ying and Brother Zheng, the third brother went back to the old house to worship his ancestors." Speaking of Sister Ying and Brother Zheng, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I think they must have grown a lot taller! ”

The eldest master's sister Ying and Zheng Ge'er are the children of the third master, Jiang Miaoying and Jiang Yongzheng.

The second master also pulled back his thoughts, nodded and said: "Don't look at Brother Zheng'er, he is only six years old, I heard that dancing knives and swords are all in shape!" ”

"Then you have to prepare some good things when you go back this time, otherwise you won't be able to coax that clever boy!"

The eldest lord and the second lord chatted happily, the old lady saw that she was celebrating the festival today, and she didn't want to spoil the festive atmosphere, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.

But the two brothers were endless, the old lady couldn't help it, put the teacup in her hand, and reprimanded: "My own girl Lang Jun doesn't know how to feel distressed, and she patronizes someone else's distress!" ”

The eldest master and the second master were shocked to realize that the old lady was displeased, and hurriedly put away the happy face.

The atmosphere of the whole room became solemn, and the second lady felt even hotter, and even wanted to take off the thin jacket on her body.

After a short silence, the old lady said coldly: "It doesn't matter if he wants to go back to the old house to worship his ancestors!" Even if he returns, the old lady may not recognize him! At the beginning, the old lady was so sick that he only had one breath left, and he said that he wanted to see that son again, but what about him? Did he come back? But is it like the old lady's last wish, let him go with peace of mind? ”

"That's an unfilial son!" The more the old lady spoke, the more excited she became, and she began to slap the table one by one.

A few muffled noises startled everyone in the room to be even more nervous, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Su Xue was also shocked by this posture, looked at the old lady silently, and then turned to look at the eldest master and the second master.

The third master who was far away in Hezhou was the concubine born to the old lady and Aunt He, and after marrying his wife, he separated his family, left Jizhou, and went to Hezhou to be a garrison.

People in the house rarely mention the third master, and occasionally the old mother mentions one or two sentences, all with dissatisfaction.

At first, Su Xue only thought that the old lady was really powerful, and she forced the concubine to leave the house, but later realized that many things were not as simple as they seemed.

In the eyes of the people in the house, the third master is an unfilial son, and they all say that there is an old man in the family, and the son does not travel far, but the third master did not even return to the house to guard filial piety when the old lady died.

In this way, it is indeed unfilial.

But gradually, for some reason, Su Xue felt that the truth was not only so, if the third master was really of very poor moral character, and he was not filial and unrighteous, then why did the eldest master and the second master miss him so much, the third brother?

It's not just about brotherhood.

The third master, maybe it's not the old lady's mouth......

The old lady was angry, and it was quiet all around, and after a while, the eldest master frowned and whispered: "Mother, is there something wrong with the third brother, but Sister Ying and Brother Zheng are also of the Jiang family's bloodline after all, and besides, they are so young, there is nothing ......wrong with them."

"What good will be the grandson raised by the son of a sinister?" The old lady glared at the eldest man and raised her voice again.

The eldest lord didn't dare to fight back.

The old lady looked at the people in the house, and her mood became even more irritable, so she had a good Stove King's Day, and she was not allowed to be peaceful.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and pointed to the eldest master and said, "Instead of spending your time on others all day long, you should plan more for Sister Yun!" I also said it just now, next time you go to Chen's house, by the way, bring Cui Zixi's double happiness picture in the study, the Chen family is a scholarly family, Master Chen likes to dance and ink, you are stupid to this step! Don't you know what to do? ”

The old lady slapped the table one by one, and the old man was silent.

The second lady was happy, lowered her head and pursed her lips silently and smiled.

Wanyue also lowered her head, but she was tightly clutching the green lotus-colored ruffled flower skirt on her legs, her hands were trembling, and her bones were white.

It wasn't until the little maid cooked it and served it before the rain that the atmosphere in the room eased a little.

The second old man took the opportunity to get up, stepped forward with a tea cup, and respectfully presented it to the old lady to make amends.

The old lady turned her face away and didn't accept it.

The second wife took out a silk silk to wipe her mouth, also held a cup of tea, walked to the second master's side, and persuaded softly: "Mother don't be angry." As my mother said, why hurt my family's harmony for an outsider? ”

When the second master heard this, he glanced at the second wife.

The old lady said that the third brother was an outsider, and that was because the third brother had chilled the old lady, and the old man had a grudge in his heart, so he would say such angry things.

But if you are angry, the third brother is still their sibling, if you are an outsider, when will it be the turn of the second wife to speak?

The second old man was a little displeased, glanced at the second wife, and felt even more disgusted, but now the old lady was angry about it, and he didn't dare to talk about this anymore, so he had to endure it for the time being.

Seeing that the old lady still didn't accept the tea, the eldest man simply got up and knelt down, and said in an urn voice: "The son just lost his words, and let his mother scold him." ”

The eldest lady bit her lip and stepped forward to apologize.

The second master, Jiang Yongjun, also stood beside the eldest lady and bowed his head to plead guilty.

The second lady glanced over there, and then looked away lukewarmly. It wasn't because she mentioned the third uncle that made the old lady angry, so she didn't want to come forward to confess!

As long as her marriage is completed, she doesn't care about anything else.

Seeing that the people in the second room of the big house came to ask for guilt, the old lady's expression eased a little, Su Xue also got up and walked aside, and said softly: "Grandmother doesn't like unfilial offspring, but look at the one in the house who is unfilial?" So grandmother should take care of your body, and your children and grandchildren are waiting to honor you! ”

After hearing this, the old lady finally opened her mouth and smiled, stretched out her hand to pull Su Xue to her side, and said angrily to the eldest master and the second master: "It's also Sister Xue who knows my suffering, unlike you, who know all day long to annoy me, and annoy me!" ”

The second wife glanced at Su Xue, with unwillingness in her heart, relieved for a while, and stepped forward with a smile on her face: "Sister Xue is right, now the children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law are waiting for a good life to honor your old man, and even the sister who has passed away is extremely obedient to her mother before her death!" How can there be unfilial piety from the mother's upbringing, you should wait to enjoy the blessings! ”

Su Xue's eyes were cold, and the second wife knew that the old lady didn't like the Feng family, so why did she mention it again for no reason?

The second wife took advantage of these words, and busily served the tea, and sang in her mouth: "This Longjing before the rain is a new tea picked this year, the tea fragrance is correct, mother, you can taste it, whether it is suitable for the taste." ”

The old lady stiffened for a while, and only then did she touch her displeasure, and was about to reach out and take the tea offered by the second wife.

Su Xue glanced at the second wife's smug smile with cold eyes, how could she just look at the second wife and be a good person?

"Wait."

As soon as the old lady touched the tea cup, Su Xue shouted softly.

Everyone in the house looked at Su Xue, but Su Xue was calm, pushed the cup of tea under the second wife's suspicious look, took the old lady's hand and put it down, and explained softly: "Grandmother has been taking medicine, tea is an antidote, how can I drink it often?" ”

After hearing this, the second lady frowned and said: "The old lady loves Longjing before the rain the most, but it is just a taste, and it is not in the way." ”

When will it be Jiang Suxue's turn to push away the tea served by her second daughter-in-law? What's her face for? (To be continued......)
