Chapter 546: Aunt Cui's Past
Xin Liu picked a satisfactory birthday gift, and exploited Yu Shu for a good meal and drink, after the meal, people were still in high spirits, and wanted to take Yu Shu to the Chengnan Theater to watch the flower puppet show.
"I have other things to do, let's change it."
Yu Shu refused, she and Yu Xiaoxiu agreed that they would take Aunt Cui to live with them for a while, so they wanted to take advantage of the two days of idleness to see her, so as not to take them over and give her some moths.
After sending Xin Liu home, Yu Shu asked Liu Zhong to turn around and go to the west of the city
In the middle of the afternoon, Aunt Cui was lying on her stomach at the head of the bed, so that Xiangsui rubbed her legs, half-asleep, heard the footsteps outside the door, did not open her eyes, and asked lazily:
"What's the matter, isn't it the right lady to borrow oil and rice again, and tell her that the rice and noodles in our house are not picked up for nothing, and she doesn't want to spend money to buy them, so she goes to the street to ask for it."
Yu Shu was outside the door, and when he heard this, he paused and laughed dumbly.
"Mother, I'm here."
So saying, he lifted the curtain and went into the house.
As soon as Aunt Cui heard Yu Shu's voice, she opened her eyes with a "whoosh", kicked Xiangsui lightly, sat up from the bed, and saw that the figure on the curtain was about to come in, and lay back with her neck crooked.
"Oops"
When Yu Shu came in, she heard Aunt Cui moaning, and when she saw her lying on the bed weakly, she knew that she was deliberately pretending to show her.
"What's wrong with you, flashing your waist, or knocking your legs?"
Yu Shu walked up with a smile and glanced at the incense spike. The little girl trembled, stood up numbly, and moved her place, obviously after being slapped last time, and she had a long memory.
"Bah, I have a good waist and good legs, I want you, the mourning star, to curse me."
Aunt Cui is a typical person who remembers to eat and not to fight, the last time Yu Shu lost her temper and scared her with a white neck and white face, she has only been seen for a month, and she is open-mouthed.
Yu Shu didn't turn his face. Just sit down on the edge of her bed. Asked: "Then what did you hum just now, is there anything uncomfortable, do you want me to ask a Lang Zhong to consult you?" ”
Aunt Cui turned her head and looked at her with her neck tilted. A mouth is another bitter mockery:
"It's a shame that you still remember that I am a mother. I'm looking for another parent. I forgot who gave birth to you and raised you. What's the matter, I'm here again today to show off my might, I can tell you. If you want to hit someone, just beat her to death, she's a disobedient bastard anyway. ”
Xiangsui's little face suddenly lost its blood.
Yu Shu sighed:
"Look at what you said, wasn't I angry last time? You think, in the end, you are still the aunt of Master Ji San, I didn't have a very glorious way to get you out of the Ji family, so I placed you in this small courtyard because I was afraid that the Ji family would come to find trouble. It's good that you led a maid away without a sound, and the Venerable Master went to live in the house, and told me about a family affair that was out of tune, can I not be angry? ”
After getting along a few times, Yu Shu summed up a strategy for treating Aunt Cui, four words - soft and hard.
You have to let her know that she is afraid, and she can't blindly scare her, you must know that the rabbit can bite when she is in a hurry.
Aunt Cui is not worry-free, but no matter how she says, she will not have the heart to harm her, compared to those who are against her outside, such as Ji Xingxuan, Xi Wen and others, they can't wait to tear her apart and eat meat, that Aunt Cui is snarky and mean to her, which can be regarded as amiable.
Sure enough, when Aunt Cui saw Yu Shu talking to her in a good voice, her face looked much better:
"What's wrong with that family business, could it be that the third son of Yin Shilang's family can't match you? Don't think that if you pass the exam Master Yi, you will really be reborn, and you will regret it if you miss such a good person. I'm not thinking about you, but you're complaining about me, I really don't know what to do. ”
Speaking of Aunt Cui, the old master of the Yin family, Yu Shu also inquired later, but it is not to blame Aunt Cui for wanting to climb.
It turned out that this Yin Shilang was a concubine of Yin Tianhou, the left minister of the dynasty. This Yin family is really the first-class gateway of Anling City, and like the Xue family, they have been loyal and good for generations, and they are deeply encouraged.
It's just because the Yin family has a rule that after the concubine gets married, he will move out of the mansion and set up his own door outside, so Yu Shu didn't expect that the family surnamed Yin that Aunt Cui found was not a side door, but a direct line of Yin Xiangfu.
Speaking of that, Yin Sanshao is also the grandchild of the dignified Xiangguo.
It's just that there is also a grandfather who is the prime minister, and compared with Xue Rui, Yin Sanshao doesn't know how many streets he has been thrown off.
"It's that I don't know what to do, or my mother doesn't care about me at all," Yu Shu snorted coldly:
"Have you inquired about the character of the third son of the Yin family? I've heard that this person doesn't learn and has no skills, often nostalgic for Flower Street Willow Lane, romantic, born a prodigal son, and the infamous people know it, whose good girl sees him is not hiding around, just you lack the heart, and go up. ”
This is a bit of a, she asked Xin Liu a little, and she heard it all.
Aunt Cui really didn't know, she was stunned, and asked her stupidly, "Really?" That, that Yin Sanshao is really this virtue? ”
"I'll coax you to do something, Gai Ming'er will take you to the teahouse in the north of the city, and you can count one or two 'good things' about the third young master Yin."
Aunt Cui clearly lost her confidence, but she still had a hard mouth: "The grandfathers are not all like this." ”
Yu Shu sneered: "What about my father, he is like this too?" I don't believe it, if my father is such a scoundrel, you won't look down on him, and you are willing to follow him away from home and marry a wife. ”
Hearing this, Aunt Cui's face stiffened, and she blurted out: "How can I be willing." ”
Yu Shu was surprised now, looking at Aunt Cui's abnormal face, thinking to herself that she first heard Aunt Liu say in the Yiyang City Miscellaneous Courtyard "The love story of father and mother", why is it not the original?
"Mother, what did you say, are you willing to be good with my father, or who forced you to fail?"
As far as she knows, Aunt Cui was originally a maid in the house of Yin Shilang, who was born as a concubine, and it happened that Yu's father entered Beijing to catch the exam, and with a little knowledge, he handed over this son, and lived in the house temporarily.
"Do you know what you say?" Aunt Cui said angrily.
The more she was like this, the more curious Yu Shu became, so she took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and gave it to Xiangsui who was standing on the side, and said:
"Go, it's hot today, go to the street to see if there are any fresh melons and fruits sold, weigh two catties and come back, give my mother to relieve the heat, and ask Mrs. Zhao to close the door, so as not to come to borrow rice and oil again, and make my mother unhappy."
Xiangsui hurriedly took the money, and obediently said yes, and slipped out like a rabbit, as if she was afraid that Yu Shu would regret calling her back again.
Now that there were no idlers in the house, Yu Shu picked up the banana fan that fell on the ground, and said with a smile while fanning Aunt Cui:
"I was still in your belly at that time, of course I didn't know anything, why don't you tell me about it, how did you and your father meet."
Aunt Cui didn't seem to want to mention it, but it was rare for Yu Shu to ask her, she really felt aggrieved at this time, her mind wandered for a moment, and she couldn't help but open her mouth:
"I think at that time, I was still a little girl next to the old lady, the second young master married the new lady, and when I left the mansion, there were not enough people, so the old lady assigned me."
The old lady in Aunt Cui's mouth is the current Mrs. Xiangguo, Yin Tianhou's wife. And this second young master is the current Yin Shilang.
"Once I did something wrong and lost a very valuable jade pendant from the second young master, which made the young master angry, so he stopped asking me to take charge of my clothes and sent me to guard the courtyard gate."
Aunt Cui's tone was a little resentful, the old lady specially told her before going out, asking her to serve the second young master well, and she would have her blessings in the future, of course she understood the meaning.
Whoever wanted to do something wrong for a while was rejected by his master, and before he became a member of the house, he was driven out of the house.
Seeing that Mrs. was pregnant, the two maids who came to marry her opened their faces, how could she be convinced, you must know that when Lu Dao was young, her face was handsome, and her figure was more slender than now, the slaves and maids around the second young master, which one has her good looks and good temperament?
"Did you meet my dad later?" Yu Shu interrupted.
Aunt Cui, who was reminiscing about Shao Nian, glanced at her, nodded reluctantly, and said: "Your father entered Beijing later, and that year he came to take the imperial examination, and the young master appreciated his good handwriting, so he arranged to live in the outer courtyard." ”
At that time, Aunt Cui was thinking about how to please her master, and she didn't notice that there was such a scholar surnamed Yu.
Aunt Cui still remembers that at the end of the year, late one night, she took turns guarding the gate of the inner courtyard, and the second grandmother's personal maid came from the small kitchen, carrying a pot of freshly boiled Huadiao wine, and a few side dishes, saying that she was going to send the second young master who stayed up late to study in the study.
The maid was in a hurry, so she asked her to do it for her, and Aunt Cui reluctantly agreed, but she couldn't have imagined that it was this supper that ruined her thoughts all along.
She sent supper to the study in the outer courtyard, but she didn't see the second young master who was thinking about it, but she met Yu's father who was copying books on the desk.
“”
"Mother, why don't you talk about it?" Yu Shu just heard that Aunt Cui and Yu's father met, and pricked up his ears, but there was no follow-up.
Aunt Cui remembered that paragraph, she was sad and angry, came back to her senses, stared at Yu Shu's face that looked like Yu's father, and said through gritted teeth:
"Your father, like you, is a scourge, and my life has been ruined by your father and daughter."
When she first fell in love, she hid someone in her heart, if it weren't for the bastard who used wine to forcibly occupy her innocence, how could she have fallen to this step today! (To be continued......)
