----------------------------------------------
The green tendons on Zhang Caishu's forehead jumped and jumped, and his face was covered with dark clouds, as if ink was about to drip out.
Zhang Caishu is not obsessed with women, two of the three concubines now were accepted by the old lady after he made a fortune, and the other is Xianglan. He didn't care too much, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, although he was just a rich man who bought more and more fields with his own efforts, and he didn't have so many big principles and rules, but he also knew that there was a difference between wives and concubines, and concubines were just his wife's helpers and big maids, and they were the property and face of their husband and wife.
Since Xia Ruoyun, who was born in a family (although he is now a down-and-out family), married into the door, this mansion has become more and more regular, more and more "fan", and friends who come and go, including the big families in Lucheng City who have made new friends in the past two or three years, are full of praise, envy that he has a gentle and beautiful, knowledgeable and reasonable wife, and can run a family.
He has always thought that his wife in his house is virtuous, his concubines are obedient, and his children are intelligent and harmonious. Previously, Xia Ruoyun was suspicious, and when he put Xiangju next to Brother Xu, he still laughed and said that she was too careful, Xianglan was also the little maid next to Brother Xu'er's mother before, and she was trained by Aunt Guan, how could it be unfavorable to Brother Xu? However, Xia Ruoyun took care of the affairs of the inner courtyard, he never pointed fingers, and just laughed.
But now, ...... Now ......, thinking of the possibility of losing his wife and young son, and perhaps angry at the eldest son who ruined the relationship between father and son, Zhang Caishu almost had cold hands and feet, and a kind of cold came out of his heart. "Come on, give me Aunt Guan 'invite'." The gritted word "please" made the two mothers-in-law who took the order to clench their fists: they all have to be tied, otherwise they will be the two of them who will go to the oil pot.
Mother Wu was also angry after being shocked, and kicked Xianglan: "Cheap hooves, is Mrs. not good to you?" At that time, your brother was sick, and his wife not only gave you ten days off to go back to help your mother take care of your brother, but also gave you 5 taels of silver. Isn't the eldest young master good to you, a bite of Sister Xianglan, there are delicious things and I still want to leave a little bit for such a maid as you. You black-hearted little, are you still human? ”
Xianglan laughed miserably: "It's all hypocrisy!" Good for me? Why are you so good to me, why don't you want to raise me as an aunt for so many years? Do you want to marry me off with a farmer? ”
Mother Wu laughed angrily, Xia Ruoyun matched Xianglan with a newly made rich peasant, and her family also had nearly 100 acres of land, and she had built a new two-entry courtyard, and I heard that she had also purchased two shops with a very good location. When Xia Ruoyun married into the Zhang family, the Zhang family was only a little better than this family.
People also look at the rules of the Zhang family to consider marrying Xianglan, thinking that the big girl from such a house is stronger than the girl from a small family, and hopes to take care of housekeeping like Xia Ruoyun, the wife of the Zhang family, and set up rules to help the family prosper.
Zhang Caishu became even more angry when he heard Xianglan's words, his wife's maiden nephew is here, and Mother Liu, who came out of the palace, doesn't he laugh at him that the Zhang family has no rules? Maybe you have to wonder if he and Xianglan already have something to do. God knows that he Zhang Caishu has always behaved well with the big and small maids in the house, and most of them have not even looked at it.
"Just a like you, who is forgetful and vicious, and you still want to be the aunt of our Zhang family?" Zhang Caishu looked down coldly at Xianglan who was kneeling on the ground, "I'll let you be an aunt and be enough, Mother Wu, call Ya Po to come and sell this cheap maid to the lowest building, and let her be an aunt of different men every day, for a lifetime, and be enough." ”
"Don't, master, woo woo, the slave really wants to serve the master." Xianglan cried and wanted to pounce on Zhang Caishu's leg and hug it, but he kicked it away, with a look of disgust on her face like looking at a leprosy dog.
Aunt Guan, who had just stepped in, saw such a scene and was stunned.
The mother-in-law just told her that the master accompanied the nephew of the wife's mother's family to eat in the hall and invited her over. She is still complacent, her wife has fallen, and she is the heroine of the Zhang family. He has knowledge, the ability to run the house, the affection of his former wife, and the understanding of the master, so he is naturally the first choice impeccable.
Looking at Xianglan, who was embarrassed and crying profusely, Aunt Guan felt a "chuckle" in her heart, and quickly regained her calm. Even if what Xianglan did was exposed, she would never dare to bite herself, but fortunately, she had already taken precautions and detained her mother and younger brother who were most important in a small courtyard that she couldn't find.
"What's going on? What did Xianglan do to make the old man so angry? Aunt Guan pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, and then changed the atmosphere very "understandingly": "Ah, hey, how did you bring Brother Chen out on such a cold day?" The concubine is about to go to see the little master. Look, how strong and pleasing our brother Chen is, thanks to the concubine who has been persuading the wife to eat too much, as the saying goes, eat one to make up for two, my mother eats, and my brother makes up for it. ”
Thinking of this, she got angry, originally planned to "care" about Xia Ruoyun a lot, and constantly persuaded her to eat more and make up more, it is best to have a corpse and two lives during childbirth, and save worry and let herself give her master a profound image of "virtuous and generous".
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Wu's mother to somehow tell her wife to control the amount of food, and she walked around the yard regularly every day.
Seeing that the day of production was getting closer and closer, Lang Zhong always said that Xia Ruoyun had a good relationship and would definitely be able to give birth smoothly, and also deduced that it was a little young master, Aunt Guan was in a hurry, and bothered to plan a big drama that made Zhang Xu knock down Xia Ruoyun. As long as you get rid of Xia Ruoyun's mother and son, and then control Zhang Xu, who is separated from the master, in your own hands, the master and the entire Zhang family will be her and her daughter's, what if you can't give birth to a son? From the moment she started her hands and feet when her former wife gave birth, the hostess of the Zhang family was her target.
At the same time, Shu Yao also looked coldly at this seemingly simple and innocent woman who looked at Brother Chen with a "loving" face, and her aunt in her previous life fell into the trap of her "kindness", and she ate and made up for it, and the mother and child died in childbirth!
Aunt Guan's complicated eyes fell on Xianglan, at this juncture, she couldn't let Xianglan do anything. "You must have made some big mistake, the master will be so angry, and if you are wrong, you will admit punishment, you can rest assured, our Zhang family is a family of benevolence and righteousness, for the sake of your love for waiting for Brother Xu'er for many years, I will give your family a few taels of resettlement money, and it will not affect them."
Xianglan saw the threat in Aunt Guan's eyes clearly, held back her tears and sneered: "It's too late for Aunt Wan to threaten the slave and maid to get rid of it, and the master knows everything." You're not going to end much better than a slave. ”
"You ......" Aunt Guan's face turned white, and she knelt in front of Zhang Caishu with a face like an iceberg, "Master, don't listen to this cheap maid and bite indiscriminately, the concubine doesn't know anything." The concubine regards the eldest young master as her own, and the little young master is so small and cute, how can the concubine harm them? ”
"Oh? You just came in, how do you know that Lu Dao Xianglan's mistake was to murder the two young masters? Did they tell you? Zhang Caishu pointed to the two mothers-in-law who were passing the word, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The two mothers-in-law hurriedly knelt down and replied: "No, master, we didn't say anything, only that the wife's maiden nephew came, and the master asked Aunt Guan to come over." "They don't want to be innocently implicated by Aunt Guan.
"Master......" Aunt Guan's head couldn't turn, so suddenly! Why did everything reverse in an instant, how many pandans recruited in total? Do you believe it?
Zhang Caishu didn't even have any interest in confronting Aunt Guan, he could see clearly the cruelty in Aunt Guan's glance at Xianglan just now, and Aunt Guan stepped into the door and began to change the palette on her face without avoiding his sight. He didn't want to take another look at such a two-faced woman with vicious methods. If it weren't for the fear of affecting the daughter she gave birth to, he would definitely let her be a companion with Xianglan, so that they could share "blessings".
Waving his hand weakly, Zhang Caishu said coldly to the big housekeeper who had just arrived: "Aunt Guan invites herself to pray for her wife, chant for the ancestors of the Zhang family, enter the family temple to practice, and you can't leave the family temple unless you die." ”
Aunt Guan's head exploded with a "bang", and before she could open her mouth to defend and beg for mercy, the two mothers-in-law had already blocked her and Xianglan's mouths with sweat towels at the signal of the big housekeeper, and dragged them out together.
Shujie and Shuyao both nodded in their hearts: this uncle is fortunately not confused, and he does not drag his feet, it seems that he really loves his aunt. If Zhang Caishu was moved by Aunt Guan and Xianglan's tears and "tenderness" today, and punished lightly, Shujie, as Xia Ruoyun's mother's family, would definitely not watch as if nothing happened.
