Chapter 56: Negative
On this day, the guests had dinner before leaving one by one. The courtyards of Wenfu calmed down temporarily. It was dark, and the dead wind lanterns were hung at various intersections early, and rumors, at this moment, spread into the ears of the masters. After hearing those words, everyone's faces changed in shock, and they all looked at each other in disbelief.
"La" Wen The old lady smashed the tea cup that she had used for ten years and smashed it on the ground. He hurriedly rushed to the courtyard of the old lady Wen, he rushed into the room, ordered all the people in the room to retreat, the servant woman looked at the old lady Wen's expression, and raised her eyes to look at the old lady Wen with some hesitation, and after seeing her nod slightly, the room quietly withdrew from the room. The old couple hadn't been together at night for a long time, and they had a long conversation behind closed doors. The people around Mrs. Wen waited in the courtyard with some worry, listening to the movements in the room one by one.
In the room, the old lady's deep voice came out, and I couldn't hear it clearly. "Oh, when something like this happens, you come and sing in front of me." Hearing the old lady's high retort, it sounded clear and clear, but when she listened carefully, she couldn't hear that the two were arguing about something. The servants in the courtyard, looking at each other and hinting at the clever people, hurriedly ran to report to the three masters. Wen Chaohong's three brothers hurried over, and they heard Mrs. Wen shouting: "Okay, the family style is not right, the source is in me, then you can divorce me, I will be Mrs. Wen for half my life, and I will not have a few days of peace of mind." ”
The faces of the three brothers changed, and they hurriedly summoned the servant woman to ask in a low voice. Old lady Wen looked at Old Lady Wen angrily, and looked at the gray-haired woman in front of her. Suddenly, the figure of a smiling and gentle woman flashed in his mind. That woman, who had once attracted all his heart. Hearing this, the old lady calmed down. When he opened his eyes and looked at the old woman in front of him, his hideous face immediately sobered him up, and he said in a deep voice: "When did you become such a cruel temperament in front of you, and the gentle background that your Xu family has cultivated for many years?" ”
Old Madam Wen smiled mockingly at Old Madam Wen and said, "Master, after so many years, you came to ask me this question?" Did you really like me in your heart? Have you ever taken me as your wife? Many years ago, you had destroyed me with your own hands. Do you think I've become cruel now? If only I had been as gentle and considerate as I was before. Can I keep my child safe? When your beloved concubine wanted to murder my child, when I begged you for help for the sake of the child, you were still willing to believe her. How do you think she is such a pitiful woman who needs your support to survive, how can she do such a vicious thing.
Master, you made my hands bloody. Master, you know that after I gave birth to three sons. Why do you support one after another aunts who only have faces and no brains to come out? It's because I'm tired of you, and I have to be trapped in this mansion just for the sake of my three sons. Master, you come with me to mention the wind door or something. In fact, Wenfu's family style has fallen since you started. Luckily, the eldest is still my son in the end. He knew that he was lost, and he scattered the women around him. The eldest daughter-in-law is also smarter than I was back then. Grow freely by concubines and concubines.
Sir, I don't have much time left. I just want to get through the rest of my life in peace, and if it's not something very necessary, we don't have to face each other again. Mrs. Wen's original angry eyes slowly calmed down, she looked at Mrs. Wen, and there was a relief on her face that she had let go of her burden. She stood up and looked at Mrs. Wen and said, "Master, go back." The old lady Wen looked at the man and turned into the inner room, and when he saw that the door was closed, he felt a sense of powerlessness, and he felt that the door had actually been closed to him for many years. It's just that all these years, he has been mistakenly thinking that the door is always open to him, and he can enter as long as he is willing to push the door.
Old lady Wen appeared in front of everyone, and the three Wen Chaohong brothers had an illusion, feeling that he seemed to have aged for many years in an instant. Wen Chaohong gestured to his two younger brothers, and he stepped forward to support Mrs. Wen and said, "Father, it's just some innocuous little things that the children in the family are messing about, and it's worth your old fire." Let's go, I'll accompany you to the study to talk about a game. Wen Chaohong half-pulled Mrs. Wen out of the courtyard door, he looked back at Wen Zhaohui and Wen Chaogang worriedly, there was an obvious anxious look in his eyes, and his hand involuntarily let go of Mrs. Wen.
Wen The old lady looked back at the worry in his eldest son's eyes, and there was a deep disappointment in his eyes, in his son's heart, the most important person was the woman who gave birth to him and protected him. Wen Zhaohui and Wen Chaogang quickly stepped forward, and they accompanied Mrs. Wen on the left and right. Wen Chaogang said with a smile: "Big brother, I will talk to my father about a game, and you will give you some pointers on the side." Wen Zhaohui shook his head at him and whispered very lowly, "Mother refused to open the door to see us, saying that we should come tomorrow morning to say goodbye." Wen Chaohong motioned for his two younger brothers to follow Mrs. Wen's footsteps, and he quickly turned back into Mrs. Wen's room.
Hearing this, the two servants in the old lady's room greeted her and whispered, "Uncle, the lady said that she was going to rest." Wen Chaohongyue was even more worried, what kind of person his mother was, no one understood better than him, it was a woman who would rather bend down. Wen Chaohong tapped on the door of the inner room and whispered, "Mother, it's me, your eldest son." Mother, I'm your eldest son. Don't worry, our brother has grown up and can protect you. The door of the inner room opened, and a tear flashed in the eyes of the old lady, and she looked at Wen Chaohong who was standing outside, with a smile on her face, which was extraordinarily kind. She whispered, "I'm fine, you go back, there will be a lot of things tomorrow." ”
Wen Chaohong saw that Mrs. Wen appeared safely, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He stretched out his hand to help the person, and said with a smile: "Mother, let your eldest son serve you and rest." Old Madam Wen withdrew from the door of the room, and Wen Chaohong accompanied her into the inner room. The mother and son sat down in the inner room, and Wen Chaohong asked in a low voice: "What is my father doing to come and get angry at you?" Old Madam Wen laughed lightly and said, "The little ladies have no scruples, and in front of outsiders, they quarrel in the fourth room. He felt that they had disgraced the house and messed up the rules of the house. In fact, it's just that the little girls are too young to play in the boudoir, and there is nothing to do.
As elders, you have to discipline them well while they are young. Hearing the reputation and rules of the house, I have supported it for decades, and I am tired. He just took the opportunity to have a seizure, and he wanted to find a culprit to take the responsibility. Wen Chaohong looked at Mrs. Wen with some concern, but saw a relieved and relaxed look on her face, and he listened to her continue with some trepidation: "Hong'er, I have become more and more tired of entertaining him in the past two years. I and him, to this day, I can't say whose fault it is, maybe God mismatched my marriage with your father, so that the more I get to the back, the more I don't want to face that person. ”
Wen Chaohong looked at Mrs. Wen with a shocked face, in his heart, Mrs. Wen still respects Mrs. Wen's decision in many things, even if it is more than 20 years later, the two will no longer live in the same courtyard, in case of major events, Mrs. Wen will come over to discuss with Mrs. Wen. Old Madam Wen raised her eyes and saw the expression on Wen Chaohong's face, she laughed and explained: "Hong'er, I am just a woman, and I have never been an ambitious woman. In your heart, your father has fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father, but in my heart, he is not a good person.
Your grandfather gave me to him because he thought he would be like your grandfather. Before your grandfather got married, there was a room around him, and after he got married, he cleared the room out of the house, and the inner house at that time was clear. Why did your grandmother go early after you were born, in fact, she has been thinking about your grandfather in her heart. Your grandfather said that a son would be like a father, but unfortunately, when your grandmother left, your father seemed to be too stimulated, and the whole thing was no longer the same, and he was addicted to women's sex and couldn't extricate himself.
In Wen Chaohong's memory, by the side of the old lady Wen, there has never been a beautiful woman coming and going. He had seen his mother sitting alone in the candle flame countless times, and that gloomy appearance. After Wen Chaohong got married, the reason why no concubine was allowed to compete with Mrs. Wen for the limelight was because of this. Wen Chaohong looked at Mrs. Wen with a confused expression, and when Mrs. Wen looked like this, she smiled and said: "Hong'er, your daughter-in-law will understand my words better than you, you men, you men, you think that giving the position of your wife to a woman is to live up to a woman's highest performance." ”
Wen Chaohong walked on the silent road, he returned to Mrs. Wen in a daze, looked at the woman dressed up to greet him, and once again remembered Mrs. Wen's words, when he got married, he had secretly promised that he would never fail her in this life, and the position of his wife must be her sitting firmly. Mrs. Wen looked at Wen Chaohong with a confused expression, and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you have something to discuss with me?" Wen Chaohong's astringency was stained, when did their husband and wife start, and they also came to the step of Mrs. Wen and his wife, if there is something, the two will sit down and talk to each other together, and when there is nothing to do, the two of them have nothing to do with each other.
Wen Chaohong took a deep breath, looked at Mrs. Wen's expression, and saw that her face was more ruddy than a year ago, and said with some joy: "I see that you put things down a little, and your body is better." Mrs. Wen looked at him in surprise, it had been a few years, and she had heard such peaceful words with some warmth again. She smiled slightly and said, "A while ago, my mother suddenly said to me that when people reach middle age, they should think about something and not follow her old path. I thought about it carefully, my younger brothers and sisters are capable and willing to work, why should I work hard and be tired, and let them be idle, their hearts are deserted.
