Zhang took Yahuan out of the newly moved courtyard and walked through many courtyards before arriving at the current residence of Zhao Jue and his wife. Their yard is located in the third entry of Jiannan Houfu East Road, it is a very large quadrangle, only slightly smaller than the main courtyard of the middle road, it has always been the residence of the heirs of the Hou Mansion, it was originally Zhao Jiong and his wife lived, and the new owner was ushered in two days ago, and the new plaque of "auspicious residence" was also hung at the door.

The small courtyard in front of the auspicious residence is the old residence where Zhao Zhuo has lived for more than ten years, when the Zhang family passed by on the way, looking at the familiar heavy building Lianyu, his heart was a little gloomy, he thought that the stepson would look at the dignity of the county grandfather and the Zhao family, barely maintaining the surface of the etiquette, not to go too far, but I didn't expect that the county grandfather had not been buried, and the beloved young son had been forced by the eldest brother to move out of the residence for many years, and moved to the small courtyard behind the garden on Houfu West Road with his biological mother. That place has not been inhabited for many years, but it is just three main houses, a side room, plus a few old trees, and the concubines who used to live on the stage were all unacceptable, and the new Jiannan Marquis moved his stepmother and brother there, and he really didn't even care about his face. But now that he has inherited the title, he is the master of this huge Jiannan Hou Mansion, what can others say?

Zhang had already seen that this stepson was not a good match, and he also knew that once the county grandfather passed away, his mother and son's life would no longer be as comfortable as before, but the county grandfather had always valued this eldest son during his lifetime, and he hoped that he would be able to shine out of the blue. Zhang remembered the relationship between husband and wife in the past 20 years, and he really couldn't make up his mind, so he simply followed the wishes of Zhao Jiong and his wife, and went out with his parents and children. They can't take advantage of the property in the public school, but her husband respects her and loves her, and she makes up for it every year, and she has a lot of private money, so she doesn't care about that. She only hopes that after the separation, her son Zhao Zhuo can take advantage of the filial piety period to study his homework attentively. He has already made a name for himself, as long as he works hard for a few more years, he will be promoted in the future, which is far more real than the position of a vain and honorable marquis.

After thinking about it, the auspicious residence where Zhao Jue and his wife lived had arrived, but the courtyard was quiet, and no one was waiting outside, which made Zhang's very puzzled, and he couldn't help muttering: "The Niu family has only been in charge of housework for a few days, why don't you even have the rules?" Jue's daughter-in-law doesn't seem to be such a confused person. ”

At this time, there was the sound of a woman crying in the main room, mixed with the old woman's voice, Zhang couldn't help but stop and sink his face.

The courtyard was quiet, and the voices of people in the house were faint, but they could be heard clearly. It was Zhao Jue's concubine Xiao Qian who was crying to his wife Jiang, but it was Zhao Jiong's biological mother's aunt and grandmother Qian who was the former's aunt and grandmother. Xiao Qian gave birth to a white and chubby son to Zhao Jue, but he gave birth during the funeral, and he was about to be full moon, because he was in filial piety, not to mention a big banquet, and he couldn't even wear a big red silk forging clothes, so Xiao Qian was wronged for his son, and the old aunt and grandmother also felt sorry for their grandson, so they put up a shelf for the mother-in-law to teach Jiang a lesson, blaming her for being unkind, because she was jealous of the concubine's favor, so she deliberately did not arrange a banquet.

Zhang didn't hear how Jiang responded, but he was sneering in his heart. Even if Aunt Qian's grandmother prides herself on being a second-room concubine, and the son she gave birth to is also a marquis, if she can't get on the stage, she can't get on the stage. Whose grandfather just died, and the grandson put the moon wine for the concubine? Not to mention that it was just an aunt's birth, even if it is a serious eldest son and grandson, he doesn't have this face! That Aunt Qian's grandmother has relied on her son to be the son of the world all these years, and she has added a lot of blockages to her main room, but she has been annoyed by the county grandfather again and again, if it weren't for Zhao Jiong pretending to be well-behaved and honest, he would have been disgusted by the county grandfather! Although Jiang is a grandson's daughter-in-law, she is also from a famous family, her father and ancestors are all officials in the court, not a little daughter-in-law who has no foundation to be bullied, the mother-in-law she calls in her mouth is called Zhang's family, which family is Aunt Qian's grandmother?

Zhang whispered to Yahuan: "Chuncao, you are waiting outside." So she walked to the main house, and Chuncao hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain for her, and when she entered the house, she retreated to the corner of the porch and waited. Chuncao understands what the housemother means, the old aunt and grandmother are very ignorant, and the eldest grandmother Jiang is a junior, so she is really going to make trouble, as the old lady Zhang, she can't suffer anything, but the girl and mother-in-law around her may be used to get angry, this kind of thing has happened a long time ago, there have been two sisters who have been offended, and Zhang's let her avoid it, which means love, and she is very grateful.

Zhang's appearance surprised all the girls in the house, and the Jiang family bowed to her quietly, calling her "old lady", not called "mother-in-law" such a slap in the face, but Zhang's appearance had already slapped Aunt Qian's face. She looked at Zhang's beautiful face in her early forties but like a person in her thirties, and then thought of her goosebumps, and hatred surged into her heart.

She sat on the right seat and didn't move, and glanced at Zhang unceremoniously: "What are you doing here?!" ”

She was so rude, even Xiao Qian was taken aback, stopped crying, quickly stood up, bowed her head and stood aside, and secretly gave her aunt a look. Aunt Qian's grandmother just didn't see it.

Her biological son is now the Hou Ye and the owner of this Hou Mansion, she should have been an old feudal monarch a long time ago, why should she continue to grovel to this woman? If it weren't for the fact that the Yuan match Qin clan in front of her had not died in the chaos of the war, and she could only be a concubine, she would have been the duchess of the county long ago, and her son was also the eldest son of the righteous concubine, where would there be this fox spirit? !

Zhang glanced at her, ignored it, and reprimanded Jiang Shi: "Su Ri, I see that you are not a foolish child, how can you even forget the rules of people like us?" I don't care what you say to others in the house, there is not even a person guarding the door outside, no matter where the cat or dog comes from, you can enter your house at will, is there still a little decency? ”

Although Jiang was a little surprised by Zhang's unkindness, he immediately understood that the other party was referring to Sang and scolding Huai, but he was just taking the opportunity to beat Aunt Qian's grandmother. This was originally a dispute between the wives and concubines of the older generation, and she was a junior, so there was really no need to get involved. She admitted her mistake very smartly: "It's the granddaughter-in-law's." ”

Zhang's original intention was to knock Aunt Qian's grandmother, and talk about her own business by the way, seeing that Jiang's hand was slippery, and she was too lazy to stand up for the other party, seeing that Aunt Qian's grandmother couldn't jump up calmly to make a noise, she decisively asked first: "The big matter of the county grandfather has passed, our sister Xiu'er has been sick for a few days, and I called the imperial doctor, but I said that I can't make a move, and now the family should be free, right?" If Imperial Doctor Liu is not available, he will go to the Rejuvenation Hall to ask a good doctor to come, and it will be the same. ”

Jiang knows that this is not available to ask for a doctor, but it is just an excuse for her mother-in-law Niu, in fact, she feels that her mother-in-law does not need to be too mean to Zhao Zhuo, although the mother-in-law Zhang gave birth to a son-in-law, her temperament is neutral and peaceful, she has never said that she wants to fight for the title of her parent, nor has she ever felt sorry for Aunt Qian's grandmother and son, Zhao Zhuo is even more dedicated to taking the imperial examination career and not playing the idea of the title, why should the mother-in-law have to embarrass them because she can't get by with face? If outsiders know, they will only say that their parents-in-law are not filial and unkind, so why bother?

Therefore, the Jiang family intended to help the Zhang family, so he said vaguely: "Don't worry, old lady, daughter-in-law Sun will send a post to ask Imperial Doctor Liu to come over." How can an outside doctor compare to a doctor? If Sister Xiu'er's condition is delayed, it will not be good. She glanced at Xiao Qian with a smile: "Coincidentally, Aunt Qian just returned the word, Brother Hong is a little bad, I'm afraid that he was just born, his eyes are clean, and he accidentally collided with something, so it's best to ask the doctor to take a look, if there is anything to do, it's all done, don't wronged the child." Let's ask Imperial Doctor Liu to take a trip and take a look at her aunt and nephew. ”

Aunt Qian's grandmother and Xiao Qian wanted to refuse to ask the imperial doctor to see Zhao Xiu, but they had no choice but to say that Zhao Hong was "sick", so they had to shut up in order to lie. Zhang got the answer he wanted, was quite satisfied with Jiang's words, and decided to help her get ahead, so he turned to Xiao Qian: "What did you just say to your grandmother?" The county grandfather just went out for the funeral today, and the whole family is in the midst of filial piety, you actually want to put a full moon wine for Brother Hong and wear red clothes? Are you trying to harm Brother Hong'er for not understanding anything, and being scolded for being an unfilial descendant? What is grievance? Sister Xiu turned one year old before, because of the big things of the county grandfather, she didn't mention anything, and her aunt was able to do this for filial piety, and Brother Hong felt wronged as a nephew? Even if you don't know the rules, don't make such jokes! ”

Xiao Qian's face was red when she was scolded, but Aunt Qian's face was much thicker than her: "Are you laughing at our Qian family for not knowing the rules?" No matter how bad our Qian family is, it is also the grandfather of the Hou Ye, what kind of thing are you? In the past, I looked at the county grandfather in front of you, and I respected you as the wife of the main house, but now it is my son who is in charge, and it is not bad if I didn't drive your mother, son, grandchildren and grandchildren to the street to ask for food, what kind of stinky shelf are you putting up?! He scolded Jiang again: "Little hooves with a rotten black heart, didn't you hear how she scolded your father-in-law's grandfather's family?" If you don't help scold back, forget it, but even help her speak, beware that I asked my eldest grandson to divorce you and straighten out my niece, she now has two sons and a daughter, and her belly is much more competitive than yours! ”

Jiang Shi felt deeply humiliated, blushed, and did not say a word. Aunt Qian's grandmother is a person who doesn't understand the rules and can make jokes, but she is the daughter of the official eunuch's family, and she can't lose her dignity.

She can endure this kind of humiliation, but someone has wronged her. Outside the window, her six-year-old son Zhao Ze clenched his little fists tightly, staring hatefully at Aunt Qian and Xiao Qian in the room through the crack in the window.

He staggered to the west wing, where Xiao Qian lived with his three children, and the two eldest ones were not there today, only the nurse was waiting for the little brother Zhao Hong, who was about to reach the full moon, in the house. Zhao Hong's name was given by Zhao Jue himself, even in the sad moment of his grandfather's new death, nothing could stop his father's love for this concubine.

The nurse stood up in surprise: "Why is Brother Ze'er here?" Zhao Ze made a small face: "You go out!" The nurse looked hesitant, and Zhao Ze's face tightened: "I want to see my brother, what?" Isn't it possible? ”

Even if she felt that it was inappropriate, the nurse did not have the courage to say so. Although Xiao Qian was favored, the Jiang family was not easy to mess with, so she immediately smiled and retreated. There was no one else in the room, Zhao Ze approached the small bed, looked at the sleeping baby in the bed, and his eyes showed hatred.

After a stick of incense, Zhao Ze ran out of the wing room with a frightened expression, and almost didn't hit the spring grass standing around the corner, but as if he didn't see her, he rushed out of the courtyard.

Chuncao muttered in her heart, and looked back in the direction he came from, wasn't that Aunt Qian's house? What is Ze Ge'er doing there if he has nothing to do? Why did you run away in such a panic?
