21. Affectionate couples have gaps
Listening to the eldest man say this, the eldest lady's face is not very good-looking. She forcibly suppressed her anger and scolded Yuxin: "Have you talked to your father like this? Don't kowtow to your father and admit his mistakes! Then he persuaded the eldest master, "It is rare for the master to come to the main courtyard once, why bother to be angry with a child." Don't you know Lu Dao Xin'er's temper, she is as stubborn as a donkey, she can't listen to a hard word, she is still young, let's educate her slowly in the future......"
The eldest lord couldn't help but sneer: "She's still young? Twelve years old! In two years, it will be time to say goodbye, so if you don't know the etiquette, wouldn't it be a shame for our Yang family to marry in the future. ”
Yu Xin immediately retorted loudly: "Of course I can't compare to the fifth sister Wen Liang and virtuous!" In the future, we can earn a lot of face for our Yang family! ”
The eldest lady raised her voice: "Presumptuous! Don't shut up yet! ”
Yuxin stood up angrily: "Since it's unpleasant to see me like this, I'll go!" With such an eccentric eye, I will wait for you to turn Hefeng Courtyard into the main courtyard of Yang Mansion one day! Then he dropped the curtain and left.
"You, you ......" The old man was angry and scolded the maid and mother-in-law: "You are all deaf and blind, don't you catch this disobedient and unfilial girl for me!" Go to the second door to upload the housekeeper Zhang Xi, please come to the family law, I want to clean up the portal today and kill this unfilial obstacle! All when I Yangpu never gave birth to her! ”
When the girls in the house saw this thunderstorm and rain, they didn't dare to take a breath, and they heard the old man's orders, but no one moved, and they all looked at the big lady's face.
The backyard is the world of big wives.
The eldest lady was also very angry, angry that the eight girls were reckless and rude, and hated the eldest master for being too partial, and there was no distinction between the eldest and the second. These days, after listening to the persuasion of the Queen Mother and Mother Wu, I put down my body and flattered me everywhere, thinking about bridging the relationship with the eldest master, but the eldest lord attacked Yuxin in front of her, and maintained the five girls everywhere, isn't maintaining the five girls equivalent to maintaining Aunt Liu? The clay figure also has three points of anger, how can the eldest lady swallow this breath.
The eldest lady sneered: "Since the master wants to kill Xin'er, it is better to kill me as a mother, wouldn't it be clean!" When the time comes, bring Aunt Liu's mother and son to the main courtyard, and everything will go smoothly, and no one will make you angry again! ”
The eldest man stood up, his face was like frost: "Could it be that I was wrong to discipline my daughter?" You also saw it just now, she contradicted me everywhere, and she didn't take me as a father in her eyes at all, so disobedient and unfilial, no matter how she was taught! ”
The eldest lady said with patience: "The old man stays in the Hefeng Courtyard every day, and there are only a few Aunt Liu in his heart, when has there been our mother and daughter." Over the years, how many times have you hugged Xin'er, and how many times have you cared about her? That Sister Xia is just a concubine, but you praise her every day, how many good things have you rewarded her with before and after? On her daughter's twelfth birthday yesterday, even Sister Lan knew that she had been punished and sent someone to send a purse over. What about you, the father, and what have you done? But there have been a few words of comfort! Forget all about your daughter's birthday! The master himself doesn't level a bowl of water, how can you let your daughter not complain?! ”
The old man couldn't help but stop! Simply pick things out: "Okay! Good! I don't quarrel with you either! I just want to ask you one thing when I came over today: There are so many beautiful maids around your brother, what kind of heart do you have? You resent Aunt Liu, so you hope that her child will learn badly! Okay, it's got you! ”
The eldest lady's heart moved, she had been waiting for this interrogation for a long time. He took advantage of the situation and pretended to be very angry and said, "I said, why did you have time to come to me? It turned out that Xingshi was asking for guilt! I have been doing housework and educating my children for so many years, and I am tired and tired only in exchange for your suspicion? Since the master thinks so, no matter how I explain it, you won't believe it! Let's go! I admit it, please give me a letter of resignation, and take me back to my parents' house! ”
The old man listened to it. The eldest lady actually admitted it like that?
The maids and ladies in the house saw the two immortals fighting, and they were afraid that it would harm mortals, so they quietly retreated. There was only one Mother Wu left, who was so anxious that she couldn't help but interject at this time: "The old lady can't say this!" Mother Wu glanced at the eldest master, and saw that his expression was not good, so she still stubbornly said: "The master allows me to argue for my wife, my wife is in charge of such a big family, hundreds of people up and down, all of them have to worry about my wife, I don't know how many people I have offended, how many people chew behind my back." If you don't support your wife, how can you be so suspicious of your wife? This makes Mrs. so sad! Master, you are a shrewd person, and you can't believe what you chew your wife's tongue! The second young master and the third young master's room were all ordered by the wife to do the old slave personally. Mrs. only has a heart to defend her buddies, and she has no other thoughts! ”
The eldest lord also let out his thoughts, and sneered: "In this case, I want to ask you: Brother Ye and Brother Zong are both brothers, why are the girls around them completely different, Brother Zong's side is well-behaved, and Brother Ye is more charming than the other?" There are already so many girls around Brother Ye, why did you add another person to Brother Ye's house a few days ago? ”
Mother Wu said: "Master, this is all Brother Ye'er's own request, what does it have to do with his wife?" ”
The eldest lady sneered: "Last year, Brother Ye asked me for a Shoushan stone inlaid figure carved with twelve dragon and longevity patterns for decoration, I just delayed a day because of other things, and the lord listened to Aunt Liu's complaint, so he personally came to the door for a while, saying that I was mean and unkind, and deducted my son's degree." Now as long as Brother Ye speaks, no matter what it is, I will do it immediately as the first priority, where can I dare to delay for half a minute? ”
"Did he really ask for it himself?" The old man was skeptical.
The eldest lady said, "If you don't believe it, just ask him." That year, he lived alone in the seclusion, and I saw that there were not enough people around him, so I said that I pointed out a few girls to serve him. But after sending several waves of people, he was not satisfied. Later, Wu's mother brought all the girls over and asked him to pick them by himself. The mothers in charge of this matter in the courtyard all know about it, if you don't believe it, call and ask. However, Brother Zong sympathized with my hard work as a mother, and only said that the girls around me were enough, and I had been used to it since I was a child, so I didn't dial the girls again. "Mother Wu had long expected this day, so this thing was done without leakage. She has already figured out the second young master's temperament, and she put so many water spirit girls in the pile for him to choose, and it would be strange if he didn't pick them out.
The eldest lady continued, "...... This time he added someone to his room, and it wasn't me who forced it on him, but he begged for it himself. "Mother Wu let go of the wind a little bit, only saying that there were a few stunning girls who bought this time, and Brother Ye really came to ask for it, and the eldest lady pushed the boat down the river and put the person into his room." Since the master is so femme fatale in his heart, it is better for the master to let Aunt Liu take care of the house, and I am also happy to be idle and save the thankless effort! Don't come to me in the future, I don't dare to take care of it anymore! ”
The eldest lord was suddenly a little short of words, and the eldest lady was telling the truth. "What are you talking about, how can you call your aunt a housekeeper!" His own son is a wise man. How can a young man not love a handsome girl. Thinking that over the years, Aunt Liu has been fighting with the eldest lady a lot, but this time the eldest lady seems to be really angry, and she wants to leave her hands alone. Thinking about it carefully, Brother Ye messed with the maid all day long, delaying his study and progress, it seems that he can't blame the eldest lady.
You are suspicious all day long, how can the eldest wife of the family take care of it!
The eldest lord thought about it and said, "Let's not mention this matter for the time being." I have only two sons now, and I just ask when you will write them into your name. ”
The eldest lady sneered: "The master said that if he has exposed, he will expose it, will I suffer my grievances in vain." The old man attacked me for no reason, where do you put my face as a housewife? ”
The old man said, "Then what do you want?" Shall I kneel you and apologize? ”
"Then how dare I! I just hope that the old man will hear some rumors in the future, think about it carefully, don't be blinded by that fox and become a gunman! ”
The eldest lord is really ashamed and angry, the affairs of the back house are like a mess, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, he usually puts his mind on the court, how can he say that the eldest wife. "Don't say it, I'll just ask you when you'll put your son in your name!"
The eldest lady protested: "If it's just Brother Zong'er, I will go to open the ancestral hall tomorrow to show my ancestors." If you bring your brother with you, then don't think about it! ”
"Brother Ye is my eldest son!" The eldest lord slapped the table, "We are the prime minister's mansion, and we will not be poked in the back!" Didn't you give the official Yushi the truth to impeach me? Compared with the two sons, he still likes to be articulate and will please him, and his eldest son, Brother Ye, will please him.
The eldest lady didn't give an inch: "Their girls bully me and insult me so much, and they still want me to put that slut son in his name?" Dream! ”
"You, you ......" The eldest man stretched out his hand and pointed at the eldest lady and lowered his voice: "If you don't have a son-in-law, how can you inherit the family business?" Are you willing to watch the foundation of the Great Yang Mansion fall into the hands of the second room? Let our children all depend on other people's snorts to survive in the future? "Da Chu has always paid attention to the difference between the concubines, although Brother Ye and Brother Zong are children of the big house, but they are a little reluctant to inherit the inheritance by virtue of their status as concubines, and it is inevitable that they will not be suppressed by the second room.
The eldest lady sneered: "That's also Aunt Liu's son is angry, what does it have to do with me!" ”
"Isn't Brother Ye your son, aren't you his mother-in-law?"
Mother Wu looked at it almost, and hurriedly pulled up the sleeve of the big lady and persuaded: "Madam, listen to the slave maid's advice, if you have something to say, don't be rash anymore." ”
The eldest lady's face was cloudy for a while, and it took a long time before she relented: "Just write Brother Ye under my name and become a sister-in-law, I really can't swallow this breath." Today, I will give the old man a face, and I will show him a way. After all, I am also a famous family, the queen mother's niece, it is really humiliating to write a white ding under my name, and the two brothers are going to participate in the children's exam. ”
The eldest lord didn't expect his wife to come up with such an idea. Thinking about Xiucai may be difficult for others, but it is only one for the children of the Yang family, and this condition can also urge the two sons to make progress, killing two birds with one stone. Then he said, "Then please remember what you said today." Tomorrow I will come to you with my two children to greet you, and tell them about it by the way, so that they may be prepared. ”
The eldest lady said tiredly, "So be it."
The eldest man stood up: "There are still a few urgent matters waiting for me to deal with outside." No further delay! ”
Wu's mother persuaded: "The meal has been prepared, so the master should use the meal and go again." ”
"No need!" The old man stood up and went away without looking back.
The eldest lady stood there stunned, humiliation, anger, disappointment, sadness, all kinds of emotions welled up in her heart, and she angrily smashed all the cups and dishes on the small table.
"Mrs......" Mother Wu hunched her waist and carefully persuaded: "You dissipate your anger!" He sat down on the chair of the eldest lady, stroked her back and said carefully: "Why do you bother, it's not that you yourself are guilty of being angry, but you want to make that slut happy." ”
"Why is my life so miserable!" The eldest lady couldn't help but cry. "You have seen this like this, master, how can I expect it in the future! Hmph, don't say it's me, even the eighth sister, I think he's ready to ignore it! ”
Mother Wu persuaded, "Even if it's for the eighth girl, you have to take care of your body." If you get sick, who else can you count on Eight Girls! If you want me to say, first, the power of the wife steward must not be delegated; Second, Brother Zong'er's child still has to be encircled, and in the future, after a hundred years, the eldest master will not be without a man to rely on. ”
The eldest lady nodded again and again: "You're right! Brother Zong'er has no foundation in the mansion, and the master pampers that fox spirit son again, he doesn't rely on me to rely on anyone! As for Brother Ye, he must not be allowed to pass the ...... this college exam."
Mother Wu nodded knowingly.
