There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, the courtyard of the old lady of the Zhang family was crowded with people early in the morning.

The old lady of the Zhang family is Zhang Rong's inner room, more than seventy years old, Zhang Rong is an official in Beijing, and the old lady is in charge of Yangzhou's hometown. Zhang Rong gave birth to three sons, namely Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei.

Among the three sons, Fang Chengdong is in charge of most of the family's business, and the second Fang Chengxi follows his father to serve, donating the fame of a national son and a prisoner, but he is in charge of the business in the north of the Zhang family.

Zhang Rong's next generation does not have good reading seedlings, so he pins his hopes on the third generation.

In the three generations of the Zhang family, Zhang Chengdong gave birth to two sons, Zhang Qiang and Zhang Jing, both of whom are swingers.

Zhang Qiang is gone, Zhang Jing has changed his ways, but he is old and has lost his child's kung fu, where is there any hope for him to go through the road of studying?

Therefore, the third generation of the Zhang family, hope is in Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei's sons, yesterday's sick brother Hao is Zhang Chengxi's son Zhang Haoran, only 16 years old, already has a child's fame, and can write good poetry, and is also a talent, the old lady is the most loved.

Zhang Haoran's residence is placed in the old lady's yard, ten big girls, four mothers-in-law, two wet nurses are waiting, everyone in the Zhang family knows that Zhang Haoran is the heart of the old lady, if Brother Hao has something dizzy, the entire Zhang family will rarely live in peace.

Ying'er got up early in the morning today, waiting for the old lady to freshen up, and Qing Yao, the girl next to Brother Hao, came to report that her brother's fever had faded, and her illness was already cured, and she was clamoring to go to school.

Ying'er immediately turned to the old lady, and the old man was in a comfortable mood, and said, "Today, I know that my brother's illness must be cured when I look at the weather!" At the beginning of his recovery, he will be exempted from going to school, his brother is a stubborn character, you go to Baoyi and Xijun to come over, and there are a few sisters to accompany him, and if you don't go to school, you won't be bored. ”

Ying Er said: "The wife, grandmothers, and girls have already come, and they are all waiting in the courtyard, just waiting for the old lady to pass!" ”

As soon as Zhang's mother heard that everyone was coming, she was even more happy, and when she got out of the yard, Zhang Chengdong and other three-room wives, a group of young grandmothers from the three generations of the Zhang family, and Zhang Baoyi, Zhang Xijun, the girls from the third room of the Zhang family, came to say goodbye.

Zhang's mother said: "Okay, okay, let's not make rules today." Brother Hao'er has recovered from a serious illness, this is a gift from God, Sister Hua, you go to Qingxuguan and add another twenty taels of incense and silver, Baoyi, Xijun will stay with Brother more today, don't let him be bored, and don't let him be tired.

The day before yesterday, Liu Daopo came over to calculate a hexagram, saying that our house is a wave of unsettled waves, Brother Hao'er's illness is cured, but where does this wave start! ”

As soon as Zhang's mother said this, the audience was silent, and a group of wives, grandmothers and girls didn't dare to squeak, and Mrs. Gu, the wife of the eldest wife Zhang Chengdong, said: "Mother, don't worry, Liu Daopo's hexagram has not been fulfilled every time, Brother Hao'er is cured, where will there be any waves?" ”

"Giggles!" As soon as Mrs. Gu's words fell, the crowd walked out of a young man wearing a golden silk bun, wearing a red armor, and a jade flowered skirtWomen, look at her slender figure, noble manners, and very amorous:

"Old lady, big lady, don't worry about you two. A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen, in fact, there is nothing wrong, but Brother Hao'er is already the second wave, and the first wave has long passed. Don't the wives and grandmothers remember the grandma's family who came to stay in school? Didn't Brother Hao have a crazy illness before?

Yesterday, I heard a report that this brother was actually very good, and he also climbed the mountain to watch the scenery, and sneaked out of the mansion restaurant at night to have a tooth sacrifice. Old lady, tell me, is this the wave? ”

"Oops!" Zhang's mother clapped her hands and said happily: "How did I forget this stubble?" Yes, yes, I know about this, you mentioned it a few days ago, Sister Hua, a big stone fell in my heart, since Brother Zheng of the Lu family has entered our Zhang Mansion, that is the junior of our house, he has this catastrophe in his life, and it coincides with the catastrophe of our Zhang Mansion, and the hexagram has come true! ”

As soon as Zhang's mother was in a good mood, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately someone followed Zhang's mother's words, which made Zhang's mother laugh again and again.

Only Ying'er was a little uneasy in her heart, she ran into Lu Zheng when she came back from going out for a drink yesterday, but how did Grandma Hua know about it? Could it be that the two little girls secretly said something to the second grandmother?

As soon as she thought of this, she had a thought, the amorous young woman was the wife of Zhang Jing in the big house, the house was called the second grandmother, her name was Hua Hanyun, she was the daughter of the wealthy family of Changzhou Mansion, she was the most shrewd, neat and spicy, the old lady and the wife spoiled her, and she took care of more than half of the affairs of the house and the house. There are no girls inside and outside the house who are not afraid of her.

"Shadow girl, could it be that you have something in mind? I see you're absent-minded? Leng Buding, a voice sounded, Ying'er was startled, and turned her head to see that it was the eldest girl Zhang Baoyi.

Zhang Baoyi, the girl in the family, has the best relationship with Ying'er and has a compatible temperament, Zhang Baoyi's question attracted everyone's attention.

Ying'er panicked in her heart, seeing so many pairs of eyes staring around, she gritted her teeth and said, "Old lady, eldest lady, third wife, grandmothers, mentioning this Young Master Lu, didn't the old lady ask me to go to Yipintang yesterday to give Brother Hao medicine?"

When I came back from the West Point Gate, what did you say? I met them head-on, a pair of master and servant.

That Brother Zheng'er's mouth, the words he utters can make people angry to death......"

Even if Ying'er told everyone about the meeting with Lu Zheng yesterday, Lu Zheng said that the Zhang family ate tofu and vegetables, brown rice and bran, and lived in broken walls, leaky houses, and said that Yangzhou Mansion was not as good as Jiangning Mansion, etc., as soon as she said this, the whole courtyard became like a swarm of bees.

Mrs. Gu, the eldest lady, slammed the Ruyao teacup in her hand on the table, and said angrily: "The little white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, does he still dislike our Zhang family?" A concubine born to a maid, is he still an adult in the Lu family? When he said such things, was this to insult the lintel of my Zhang family? ”

Mother Zhang frowned deeply, raised her eyes to look at Hua Hanyun, and said, "Sister Hua, you are the most sensible, tell me ......?"

Hua Hanyun is the most clever and intelligent, seeing Zhang's mother's gloomy face, she knew that the old lady was on fire, and immediately dared to smile on her face, and hurriedly stepped forward, without saying a word, "poof" knelt down, tears flowed, and said:

"Old lady, even if Brother Lu has suffered any grievances this death, why doesn't he let his wife and the old lady make decisions for him? said that he came from the Lu family, but these days, he has never been seen in the morning and dusk, and the wives and grandmothers are busy with the affairs of each family. I'm afraid that their Lu family doesn't have such upside-down rules, right? ”

Mother Zhang stared at Hua Hanyun, her anger did not decrease, and the dragon head crutch paused fiercely on the ground, and said, "Sister Hua, don't talk about those things, I'll just ask who is in charge of Xiyuan?" Who are the people around Brother Lu? ”

Zhang's mother ordered, the yard immediately became a mess, Hua Hanyun hurriedly instructed the girl Cuihong next to her to pass the word, and after a while, Liang Shi's family, who was in charge of the West Garden, served Lu Zheng's old woman, and there were two little maids named Musk, Xingyu, who was only eleven or twelve years old, and they also came over, and they all knelt in front of the old lady.

Mother Zhang pointed to Liang Shijia's nose and said, "Let you take care of the West Garden, but you have lost all the face of the old Zhang family!" The brother of the Lu family eats brown rice and bran every day, lives in a leaky house, and sleeps at night with incense to pray for no night rain.

Is my Yangzhou Zhangjia ruined to this step? The brother from the Lu family came to my Zhang family's guest house, and he only had brown rice and bran to eat? Only a leaky house to live in?

And the plantain in the courtyard is withered, and the bird droppings are fragrant, you listen...... If this letter is sent to Jiangning, my aunt and grandmother will probably die in the Lu family in Jiangning, right? ”

"Liang Shi's family dragged out the cane for twenty and fined half a year's money. Mrs. Liu is old, let's go for the elderly, who raised the two girls? Sent to Zhuangzi, left in the house like a raw cucumber, where can I serve people? ”

Zhang's mother said a few words, Liang Shi's family, Mrs. Liu and others were pale, and the two little girls were wide-eyed, so frightened that tears rolled in their eyes, compared to Liang Shi's family and Mrs. Liu's who knew the inside story, the two of them were completely kept in the dark, and they didn't know what was going on!

Grandma Hua asked them to carry the bag, but they didn't know whose bag they were topping, and they didn't know what it was, and the old lady sent them to Zhuangzi with a word, and it would be difficult to eat a full meal in the future, let alone live a decent life.

Hua Hanyun tried her best to give the two of them a look on the side, and Mrs. Gu couldn't look at it from the side, and said: "Mother, the two little girls are only eleven or twelve years old, where do you want to know something, you must have listened to the old woman's words, it is better to let them go to my room to serve, I will let people carefully train again......"

"Chengdong's family, I just want to set up a rule today, Ying'er, you go and invite that Brother Lu over, just say that my old lady knows that his illness is cured, and I want to see him, go quickly!" The old lady interrupted Mrs. Gu's words, and the shadow was already frightened stupidly.

She never expected that her few words would cause such a big disaster, as the old lady's personal girl, her mind is usually extremely exquisite, but today she was dizzy, this time she offended everyone, how can he, a big girl, deal with herself in Zhang's mansion in the future!

"This scathing and cunning idiot who kills a thousand knives has fallen for him again."
