Chapter 380: Grip (5K, Pink 450, 480+)
It's all said and done, and if you don't go, you can't do it.
Zhu Susu put the medicine box on his back and said to Du Hengshuang: "I'll go and see, you can rest more." Spring hair and tail are the most likely to get sick, you are a person with a double body, you should be more careful. β
Du Hengshuang smiled and got up to see her off, and said as she walked, "I'm fine." Every day, I take Brother Ping and Sister An out of the lake to walk around the lake, practice archery, shoot crossbows, and get in good shape. β
The mother-in-law from Xiao Tai and the courtyard looked at Du Hengshuang in surprise and said, "Madam, don't you go over and take a look at our second young master?" β
"Uh......" Du Hengshuang stalked for a moment and smiled, "I won't go." The second brother has all the maids and mothers-in-law, and the children are small, so there are too many people who don't want to go, so as not to surprise the children. β
Because Long Shuzhi's father and mother came to see her today, Xiao Taiji stayed in the inner courtyard and did not go out, talking to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
And Du Hengshuang is the sister-in-law, and Xiao Taiji is the brother-in-law, so you must always avoid it. How could it be possible to know that the little uncle was at home, and the eldest sister-in-law rushed over to meet the guests, so naturally he couldn't push it off.
The mother-in-law thought that the second young master was sick, and she didn't need to say more, the lady would take the initiative to take a look. After all, it was the second room who came to invite Zhu Langzhong in person, and besides, the second grandmother's mother and sisters came today, so Mrs. should also go over to take a look, right? - all relatives.
Probably Mrs. didn't know that the father and mother of the second grandmother of Lu Dao were here?
The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Our second grandmother's mother is here, and the father of the second grandmother has already gone to Cining Courtyard to see the old lady." β
The second grandmother in the mother-in-law's mouth is Xiao Taiji's wife Long Shuzhi. Long Shuzhi's father is Long Xiangye's younger brother, and he is also the uncle of Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taiji. Long Shuzhi and Xiao Tai and the two of them can also be regarded as close to each other.
Where did Du Hengshuang not know that there were relatives in the second room of Lu Dao?
Whenever someone comes to the door. It must be reported to her, the housewife, that she has dealt a pair of cards in order to bring people in with the signs.
Because of the matter of Prince Yi's mansion, Du Hengshuang was more strict with the backyard access control of the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion. Generally, relatives and friends who come to the door must make it clear in advance when they bring a few maids. After coming in, you will be accompanied by a special person, and you can't walk around here at will, so as not to have some situations that everyone does not want to see.
Du Hengshuang let out an "oh" and said lightly: "I was planning to take the two children to the old lady to say goodbye for a while, so I can go to meet the master of the Long family." β
The woman couldn't. I had to take Zhu Susu to the courtyard where I lived in the second room alone.
Xiao Tai and the courtyard where they lived. In the southwest of the Zhuguo Marquis's Mansion, it is a little far away from the main courtyard where Du Hengshuang lives.
But the yard is still very large.
The courtyard of the four entrances is not a little worse than a medium-sized house outside.
Zhu Susu followed the woman in, bypassing the interstitial screen in the middle of the courtyard. Come to the upper room of the two-room courtyard.
Long Shuzhi and her mother were talking in the warm pavilion. Xiao Tai and accompanied him.
In broad daylight. Xiao Taiji is generally not in the inner courtyard, but should be in the outer shop.
But now because his father-in-law and mother-in-law visited, he didn't go out. Rather, it is to accompany the guests at home.
The mother-in-law replied in front of the warm pavilion, "Second master, second grandmother, Zhulang is here." β
"Come in! - Is my sister-in-law here too? Sit ...... here" Long Shuzhi's happy voice came from inside the warm pavilion, and then the curtain of the warm pavilion was lifted, and a round-faced maid poked her head out of it and asked Zhu Susu to go in sideways.
Zhu Susu walked in with a smile on his face, bowed slightly to the people in the room, and asked, "Where is the child?" β
Long Shuzhi got down from the kang and found that there was no one behind Zhu Susu, so she hurriedly said, "Where is the sister-in-law?" Why didn't my sister-in-law come? β
Zhu Susu coughed, "Madame went to greet the old lady, I won't be free at this time." Seeing that there were no children in Nuan Ge Centimeter, he asked again, "Where are the children?" β
Long Shuzhi was a little disappointed and asked, "Madame went to the old lady, will she come again?" β
"I don't know what to do. But Madame is now pregnant, and she is easily tired. I just went to greet the old lady, and I had to arrange dinner for the evening, so I didn't necessarily have the time to come. But Madame asked me to say hello to my in-laws, and ask you to be more patient. As soon as Zhu Susu's eyebrows matched, she understood that Long Shuzhi wanted to pull Du Hengshuang to make her face in her mother's house.
Long Shuzhi's mother-in-law Cui is the daughter of the side branch of the Cui family in Qinghe, and because of Xiao Shiji's relationship, her mother's family has been included in the lineage of the Cui family in Qinghe.
But Xiao Shiji was not attracted by the Cui family of Qinghe, and the Cui family was less interested in her mother's family.
The Cui family is used to being the master of the Long family, because she is the daughter of the Cui family, she has always been superior, and even the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion has her own identity and does not come over often.
Just once in a while, Du Hengshuang, a merchant girl from a poor family, actually looks like this, she doesn't even care about her relatives, and she doesn't see her.
Cui's heart was very uneasy, and he tried his best to endure it on his face, but he didn't bring it out, but just lowered his head and drank tea.
Zhu Susu didn't see it, but only checked the pulse of the child brought by the nurse, and said: "This child is weak, try not to carry it out in the future." However, in the house, the doors and windows should not be closed too tightly, and the ventilation should be frequent and clean, especially the house where the children live, the clothes they wear, and the things they use must be clean. β
Long Shuzhi responded absentmindedly and thanked Zhu Susu.
Xiao Taiji smiled and said, "Zhu Langzhong...... Oh...... No, it should be the Duchess of Anguo soon. I don't know when An Guogong plans to marry Zhu Langzhong? β
Anzi often begged His Majesty to give him a marriage, and he was engaged to Zhu Susu, which was a major event in Chang'an recently, and even more sensational than the Cui family's "Luantai Son-in-law".
Cui Shi heard it next to him, and then he was a little moved, and said, "It turns out that you are An Guogong's fiancΓ©e?" - Why are you still practicing medicine? You should embroider a dowry at home, right? β
Zhu Supi said with a smile: "I don't have to embroider my dowry, it's all prepared by the embroiderer." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and said, "My hand can only prick needles, not embroider." β
After watching the child, Zhu Susu turned around and left, without stopping for a moment.
When Zhu Susu walked away, Cui Shi sank his face and said, "You have always told me that you are very good in this mansion. How did you get to this now? - The eldest brother does not look like the eldest brother, and the sister-in-law does not look like the sister-in-law. This is not treating you as human beings! β
Long Shuzhi's face turned red, pulled Cui's sleeve and shook it, and said, "Mother, don't say that." The eldest brother and sister-in-law have done their best to us. β
Xiao Taiji coughed and made a look.
The nurse went down with the baby in her arms.
The maids and maids who were waiting in the house also went out to the outhouse to wait.
There were only three people left in the warm pavilion, Cui Shi, Long Shuzhi and Xiao Tai.
"Well, there are no outsiders in this house. If you have something to say, say it. Cui Shi knocked on the kang table next to him and asked Long Shuzhi and Xiao Taiji.
"Say what?" Long Shuzhi moved, a little uneasy.
Cui Shi nodded at her forehead and said with hatred: "Still ask me?" - I ask you! It's all a daddy. Why don't you have more eyes?! β
Speaking of his newborn son. Long Shuzhi was in a much better mood, and said with a smile: "Mother, our brother Fan is still young, and he has just reached the full moon." Want to do so much? β
Xiao Taiji also smiled. Said: "My eldest brother is the Marquis of Zhuguo. Follow him, and we Fan Ge'er will not have to worry for the rest of our lives. β
Cui Shi was so angry with these two that he almost took a whip to wake them up. said: "How can the eldest uncle compare with his own father? It's not that I'm talking about you, but at the beginning, you had a knighthood. Tai'er is the earl, and our Shuzhi is still the earl. Now, you are two white bodies. Dwelling in this house, you are not as good as the chief steward of the outer court. What a bother! β
These words pierced Xiao Taiji's heart like a needle.
He changed his face suddenly, and said unhappily: "Mother-in-law, let's stay for dinner at night, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain without looking back, and went out of the house by himself.
Long Shuzhi knew that Xiao Taiji was angry, and complained to her mother vigorously, "Mother, we are doing well, my mother has to make irresponsible remarks, is it because we are living too well, do you want to find us something to do?" β
Seeing that Xiao Taiji dared to shake his face with her, Cui's mood was even worse, and he said to Long Shuzhi: "Mother is for your good." Think about it for yourself, when you were the countess, Tai Ji was the uncle, you were in the uncle's mansion, is it much more enjoyable than here. β
It was when Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe were both "killed", and Xiao Taihe "borrowed" the title of his eldest brother Xiao Shihe and became the head of the Xiao family. Long Shuzhi is, of course, the countess, and the person who presides over the feed in the backyard.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang actually "came back from the dead" and came back one after the other.
It seems that overnight, Xiao Taihe and Long Shuzhi's titles and orders are gone, if it weren't for the old lady Long Xiangye still alive, Xiao Shiji would definitely have to drive the two of them out of the house.
The past is vivid, like a scab scar on the surface, it seems to be healed on the outside, and the flesh and blood inside are blurred only to himself.
Back then, he was high-spirited and in charge of the house, but now he is under the fence, and he has to be like his subordinates, looking forward to leaking a little benefit from the hands of Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye in order to feed the family.
Long Shuzhi lowered her head and no longer refuted Cui's words.
Cui Shi Zhidao Long Shuzhi listened to her words, so he moved to sit next to Long Shuzhi and gave her an idea, "Now that you have a son, don't you hope that he can have a good life in the future?" Or even inherit a knighthood? β
Long Shuzhi hurriedly said: "Mother, the eldest brother has his own son." And now that my sister-in-law is pregnant again, if she has another male fetus, it will have nothing to do with our brother Fan. β
Cui's eyes rolled, and he asked tentatively: "If I have a way, let Taiji make some achievements, and ...... in the future It's not impossible for him to become a marquis. β
"Huh?!" Long Shuzhi was shocked, "What can my mother do?" And said: "If my mother really has a way, don't let my father be the Hou Ye?" Or no matter how bad it is, let my younger brother get this great achievement, why do you want to give our second master? β
Cui Shi pouted. She wanted to do this, but people didn't look down on their Long family, so they only stared at the Xiao family......
"That's right. I went back to my parents' house for a few days a while ago and talked to the master of the Cui family's big house for a while. Master Cui said, if Taiji can help the crown princess and the prince do something, and wait for the prince to ascend the throne, aren't you the heroes of Conglong? - When the time comes, let alone the marquis, maybe you can also get a princess to do it......" The more Cui Shi said, the more beautiful he became, and he couldn't wait for his son-in-law to become the grandfather of the country soon, and his daughter would be able to be the duchess of the country.
In Cui's heart, Feng Guogong is already at the top. Feng Wang never thought about it.
When Long Shuzhi heard this, she was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "Mother is serious? - Is it really the meaning of the crown princess? β
Long Shuzhi knew that the crown princess Cui Zhenzhen was the eldest daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe. If she speaks, there is a chance that it will be done.
"How else can I lie to you? If you are willing, let you Tai Ji come to our house in two days, and the crown princess will send someone else to our house to talk to Tai Ji. "Cui's family went to the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion today. That's what it's about.
Long Shuzhi nodded again and again. "It's good, it's good! When the time comes, I will take the child and go back to my parents' house with the second master. β
Cui Shi smiled with satisfaction, chatted with Long Shuzhi again, and then got up and said, "I'll go to the eldest sister to have a look." Don't move when you sit, don't go outside to blow the wind. Shortly after the full moon. It's still necessary to pay attention to something. β
Long Shuzhi had no choice but to watch Cui Shi leave her yard. I went to the Cining Temple of Long Xiangye.
Previously, Du Hengshuang used the excuse of going to Longxiangye's Cining Courtyard to ask for peace. Didn't come to Long Shuzhi and Xiao Taiji's yard.
Today is the fifteenth, and the Yang family went to the temple to dip, and only Long Xiangye was alone in Cining Courtyard.
Ever since the Yang family came. Long Xiangye was forced to observe the festival with her, and she had a miserable life.
You can't wear gorgeous clothes, you can't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you can't get fishy meat. Every day, I can only lock up in the room to embroider and read books, and I can't do anything else.
The Yang family can farm, but of course the Marquis of Zhuguo Mansion doesn't need her to farm, so she plans to wait for the spring to plant flowers in the yard, and she will also pull the dragon fragrant leaves to work together.
Long Xiangye has really lived better than dead in the past two or three months, I heard that the weather is warm, and I have to go out to bask in the sun to plow the soil and plant flowers, Long Xiangye can't wait for a thunderbolt to come down, and the nosy Yang will be chopped to death.
Now when she recites the scriptures every day and night, she is silently reciting "Old Lady Yang is going to die, die, die......
Today, her younger brother Long Wenping came to see her, and she was like seeing a savior, pulling him to cry and cry non-stop, and even hinted that Long Wenping opened his mouth and took her back to her parents' house to live, in this house, she couldn't stay for a moment.
Of course Long Wenping didn't dare, and he didn't want to take this sister back to the Long family.
The old lady who has grandchildren, how can she go back to her parents' house?
When Du Hengshuang came in with the child, he saw Long Xiangye sitting in front of Long Wenping, complaining with a handful of snot and tears.
"Uncle is here." Du Hengshuang followed the children to call Long Wenping.
Long Wenping saw that it was Du Hengshuang coming, so he hurriedly stood up and said hello, "It's Hengshuang, it's always good?" He gave the two children a greeting gift.
The two children happily accepted the gift, thanked Long Wen for the parallel salute, and then greeted Long Xiangye, who was very obedient.
Long Xiangye woke up his nose with a handkerchief and asked people to go down with the two children.
Du Hengshuang took the maid and the maid by herself, of course, she didn't need the subordinates of Cining Courtyard to take the children to play, so she instructed her maid, "Take Brother Ping and Sister An to play in the next room." β
The children ran to the next room with a chatter, and the maid followed her.
The maids and maids who were waiting in the house also withdrew.
Du Hengshuang smiled and asked, "Why did the old lady cry so much?" But who offended the old lady? Tell the daughter-in-law to listen, and the daughter-in-law will vent her anger to the old lady. β
Long Wenping was about to make a round, but he didn't expect Long Xiangye to stalk his neck and say, "Who offended me?" That Yang, of course. If you send her away, I might have a few more years to live. β
The old lady said this, it is really unfilial. The only ancestor of our Xiao family actually named the old lady by name. Tsk, old lady, if this word spreads, I don't know how people outside the road will point to the old lady's backbone and gossip. Du Hengshuang said calmly.
After so many rounds of playing with Long Xiangye, Du Hengshuang can be regarded as having a little bit of a way.
Long Xiangye is a lonely person, she doesn't listen to anyone, she loves face first, and she is most worried that someone will gossip about her behind her back.
After listening to Du Hengshuang's reply, Long Xiangye really shrunk his neck, and said unwillingly: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, how can people outside know the Tao?" - If you know the Tao, it must be you who spread it, and you are the most unfilial! β
Du Hengshuang immediately had tears in her eyes and said, "The old lady's words, the daughter-in-law really can't afford it. said that the daughter-in-law was not filial, but she committed seven major sins. The daughter-in-law has no way but to go out and find someone to comment on the reasoning to see if the daughter-in-law is unfilial or the old lady intends to learn from the daughter-in-law! As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk out, wiping tears from his eyes as he walked.
Long Xiangye was dumbfounded when he looked at it from the side. She didn't expect Du Hengshuang to laugh now, cry when she cries, sing and play, and have all four corners. Praise her and she will laugh at you, scold her and she will cry, and she will go out to find someone to judge at every turn. - This person's unstingy temperament made Long Xiangye completely unruly with her.
Because Long Xiangye knew that the people who were not stingy really did what they said, and they didn't care about the face outside. I had to catch up quickly, pull Du Hengshuang, and I had to work hard, carefully and in a low voice to coax her, "Daughter-in-law, I just said the wrong thing." You have no unfilial piety, absolutely no unfilial ......"
Du Hengshuang stopped sobbing and squinted at Long Xiangye, "Really not?" β
"Of course not. My eldest daughter-in-law is the most filial. - Isn't it, brother? Long Xiangye coaxed Du Hengshuang while giving Long Wenping a look and asking him to help say good things.
Long Xiangye was actually so aggrieved that she wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood, but in order to stabilize Du Hengshuang, she was not stingy and didn't let her go out to talk nonsense, which would ruin her reputation, and she, as a mother-in-law, had to say something against her will.
Long Wenping nodded knowingly, "Exactly." People outside praise Mrs. Zhuguo's wife for being virtuous and virtuous, and she is a model of women's virtue. β
"Really?!" Du Hengshuang was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, you have to tell me how people outside praise me." Come, old lady, let's listen together, lest the old lady say that I am not filial......"
