Chapter 227: Old Accounts (1)
Thanks to the book friend Sunflower889 for the peace charm, Xie Lu Xie'''——
In the blink of an eye, it was fifteen, and Mrs. Zheng filled her stomach with a little snack, so she asked Zheng and Zhen Xuan to help her, and went to Changsheng Juli to ask for peace together.
As soon as the front foot entered the Changsheng Residence, the green curtain car stopped at the back, and it was Mrs. He who came with her daughter-in-law Zhang, Chen and granddaughter-in-law Yang.
After greeting each other, Mrs. Zheng walked forward, and Mrs. He pouted and followed.
Zhen Xuan helped Mrs. Zheng, and suddenly heard Mrs. He's voice behind her, but the old man was a little sharp.
"As a sister-in-law, she has the style of being a sister-in-law."
The sour sentence is not slippery, looking at it is saying that Mrs. Zheng is standing up in front of her, but secretly she is talking about the Yang family, who is the sister-in-law, and has not set up a good stand in front of Zhen Xuan.
Yang didn't dare to answer, and Zhen Xuan didn't hear it, but Old Lady Zheng snorted coldly and continued to walk forward.
A slender maid came out of the main room, her appearance was inferior to Xiang Xi and Cai Xi, and her cheeks were even a little inverted, far from the blessed round face that the ancestors liked, Zhen Xuan recognized her as Yi Xi who took Cai Xi's first-class position.
Yi Xi hurriedly stepped forward and asked for peace: "Old lady, wife, grandmother, the ancestor got up late, so the slave and maid passed the word, so as to avoid today's kowtow." ”
Zheng was puzzled in his heart, in the past, when he asked for peace, even if the ancestor got up late, he only asked them to wait, and rarely asked them to say goodbye. Especially on days like the fifteenth day of the new year. She asked the old ancestor about the body. After listening to Yi Yixi's explanation, and knowing that the old ancestor was fine, she got the nod of Mrs. Zheng and turned back to Tingfeng Yuan.
Mrs. He originally had something to discuss with her ancestors, and she wished that the people in the long house would leave earlier, and the province would miss her. Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was gone, she only sent Chen and Yang back, and asked Zhang to accompany her and wait a little longer.
Yi Yi didn't dare to disobey his ancestors. After a few words of persuasion, Mrs. He suddenly felt a little unhappy and was about to have a seizure, but fortunately Zhang stopped her, although she listened to a few words of advice from her mother-in-law, she ended up in the end, and she didn't shout to teach Yixi a lesson.
Yi Xi was promoted to the first rank, and she was a little taboo about Mrs. He, and she thought about going to the ancestor to report to her.
The old ancestor let Mrs. He and the Zhang family into the house, I don't know what to say, but it was just a cup of tea. So he drove people out, so angry that he didn't even have breakfast.
The news reached Tingfeng Yuan before noon.
Mrs. Zheng didn't know why the old ancestor was angry for a while. Thinking about the old ancestor who was exempt from greeting in the morning, he was a little worried in his heart, and took Zhenxuan to the Eternal Residence earlier than usual in the afternoon.
As soon as I got out of the car, I met Xiang Xi.
Xiang Xi was a little surprised, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. He have not dealt with each other for many years, and both of them have the same mentality. The old ancestor is old, and he doesn't care about their contradictions, as long as they can get by, they all turn a blind eye, so every time Mrs. Zheng comes by stepping on a little, and today is so early, Xiang Xi is surprised.
Surprise flashed on his face, Xiang Xi quickly came back to his senses and smiled, came over to support Mrs. Zheng, and said, "Big old lady, watch your step." ”
Old Madam Zheng nodded and slowed down.
Zhen Xuan understood that Mrs. Zheng must have wanted to ask a few words from Xiang Xi, but because her identity was not easy to speak, Zhen Xuan smiled at Xiang Xi and asked in a low voice, "Girl, did you just come back from outside?" ”
"Yes, I was sent by my ancestors and went to Pingcui Garden. The chrysanthemums raised by the eldest grandmother bloomed just right, and asked the slave maid to move some for the ancestors to see, saying that they would send some to listen to Fengyuan tomorrow. ”
Pingcui Garden is the courtyard of Mrs. He, and the old ancestor was already so angry that he drove people away in the morning.
Mrs. Zheng snorted: "No matter how good the flowers planted by Li Qing's daughter-in-law, I won't accept them, so that her grandmother will think that I have taken advantage of their second room again, and embarrass a group of juniors." ”
Xiang Yi didn't answer these words, lowered his eyes and said about the things beside him: "The ancestor dreamed last night that the eldest aunt and wife when he was a child, and the eldest aunt and wife were married far away, and they had not come back to save their relatives for more than ten years. ”
Zhen Xuan couldn't help frowning when she heard this.
The eldest aunt and Mrs. Yaci are the eldest daughter of Mrs. He, and she has inquired about some past events, and in the memory of the old servants of the Xia family, this Xia Yaci is not loved by the ancestors.
Xia Yaci is less than a year younger than the eldest old man Confucianism, after the old lady Zheng entered the palace, the eldest master was raised by the ancestors, at that time the old ancestors said that they would take Xia Yaci to the eternal residence, and the two brothers and sisters also had a companion, Mrs. He said that she didn't want to say anything, and she cried and made trouble to disturb the family, and even the old ancestor was annoyed.
For this reason, the old ancestor no longer cares about Xia Yaci's upbringing, and is all taken care of by Mrs. He, and when she is about to say goodbye in her teens, she is shocked to realize that this granddaughter is so arrogant that she doesn't even care about her elders.
The ancestor regretted that he had ignored all these years, but the matter had come to this point, and no matter how much discipline worked, he wanted to marry her to a familiar family in Yongzhou, in case Xia Yaci's temper came up, she could still rush to guide her, so as not to suffer a loss, and second, not to ruin the reputation of the first few sisters.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. He took the idea behind the back of the ancestor herself, and sent out the eight characters, and was stunned to marry Xia Ya far away, seeing that it was a family that kept giving dowry for ten miles, but her husband's family was not a good stubble, so Xia Ya tossed a few times and then strictly followed the rules, hindering the mountain high emperor far away, and carried his wife into the door, without giving the Xia family any face.
The ancestor was angry and scolded, but Xia Ya resigned herself and carried the crime of "childless", if she made trouble, wouldn't it be worse if she came to the step of divorce from his wife?
In the next few years, no one dared to talk to the ancestor about this aunt and wife, and the ancestor accidentally remembered that it was also when he was training Mrs. He.
is as smart as Xiang Xi, and he will definitely not provoke such a gossip.
There is also a purpose to mention it at this moment.
"What can you find?" Mrs. Zheng's tone was as usual.
Xiang Xi smiled and said softly: "Those old things were not taken away back then, and they were also stored in the warehouse, and they couldn't be found for a while." The ancestor can't see anything, and I'm afraid I'm going to be sad again. ”
During the conversation, he had already arrived at the door of the main house, Xiang Xi went in first to reply, and Mrs. Zheng paused and whispered to Zhen Xuan: "Don't mention it." ”
Zhen Xuan's heart tightened, and she nodded solemnly.
Mrs. Zheng is very satisfied with Zhen Xuan's reaction, this granddaughter-in-law has a gentle personality and is still organized, the last time she explained the matter of Cai Yi to the ancestors, she was very clear, and then the treatment of Yun Yin in Tianyi Courtyard was simply and neatly, and she sold it to the end, Yun Yin was bought into the house, there was no backer, she did not offend anyone, and she was an example of killing chickens and monkeys, which made the maids and mothers-in-law in a courtyard wake up a lot, after Mrs. Zheng heard about it, although she did not praise her face-to-face, she also praised it in her heart.
Without saying anything more, Mrs. Zheng entered the house.
Zhen Xuan took a deep breath and followed.
The curtain was closed in the east room, and it looked a little dim, the old ancestor sat on the Luohan bed with his eyes closed, and Yi Xi knelt aside, holding a beauty in his hand to knock the old ancestor's legs.
Xiang Xi was talking about the chrysanthemums raised by the Yang family, and the fingertips of the ancestor knocked on it again and again, and only after half a sound did he say: "Just put it in the yard, and then look at it when I am more comfortable." Xiang Xi went out to direct the maids to place.
Old Lady Zheng saluted Zhen Xuan, and the old ancestor raised his hand slightly: "Let's all sit down and talk." In the end, he is old, and he doesn't have a good rest at night, and the next day his bones are uncomfortable. Yiqing's daughter-in-law, your sister-in-law likes to play with flowers and plants in her free time, what do you do on weekdays? ”
But everyone who is an elder hopes that the junior will be polite and sensible, and Zhen Xuan loves to read and embroider in his spare time, which is a hobby that will not dissatisfy the elders, so he answered truthfully.
"Yes." The old ancestor only answered to indicate that she had heard, and after a period of silence, she opened her eyes and glanced at Zhen Xuan, her face was wrinkled together, her eyes were expressionless, and she looked a little hideous in this dark room, compared with her kind appearance before, it seemed like a different person, "I remember the last time, I said that you also love to listen to the scriptures?" After a few days, I recited the scriptures, but my eyes were no longer able to see the scriptures clearly. ”
Zhen Xuan was busy.
She could see that the ancestor was in a very bad mood today, as if he had nowhere to vent his frustration in his heart, he was forcibly controlled, and if he annoyed her again at this time, he would have to be scolded and scolded.
Zhen Xuan faintly heard Xiang Xi's voice outside, and after pondering what she said, she could also understand her intentions.
In the morning, Mrs. He didn't know what annoyed the old ancestor, and the old ancestor turned over the old accounts and turned out Xia Yaci, and drove people out angrily, especially angry, and asked Xiang Xi to go to Pingcui Garden to admonish in the afternoon.
The masters have been scolded and thought about at most, and the slaves are different, and they are angry and sold, which is not excessive. Xiang Xi came back just when he met them, and he didn't want them to touch the old ancestor's head without a head, and at that time it was their maids who were unlucky to serve them personally.
Old Mrs. Zheng was afraid that Zhen Xuan would not know that the ancestor did not like Xia Yaci, so she would remind Zhen Xuan not to mention it.
It's just that what did Old Lady He mention that could make the old ancestor turn over the account book all the way to Xia Yaci?
Zhen Xuan couldn't guess.
Mrs. Zheng was talking about the recipe for nourishing the gods.
Zhen Xuan thought that Mrs. Li occasionally couldn't sleep well at night, so she listened attentively.
Mrs. Zheng is naturally familiar with the secret recipe of the palace, from daily spices, refreshments, soups to meals, you must pay attention to it.
Hearing this, the old ancestor shook his head and sighed, "What you said is reasonable. It's just that you are also in the age of ear shunning, and you should also know that the most important thing is to cultivate your nature. If I could worry a little less, I would have less sickness.
