Volume 1: Who Have Seen Someone Again Chapter 299: A Mother's Heart (5)
Qiao's lying on the bed, he didn't close his eyes until dawn, and all in front of him were Xu's cold eyes and Qiuxiang's howl
When Qiu Xiang was pulled down, her face was hot, and she wanted to open her mouth to keep people, but she lacked confidence, so she let Hongyun and a servant make a big show of power under the master and servant of the second room.
Qiu Xiang's board was taken in the courtyard of the second room.
Down, where is it hit on Qiu Xiang? This is a slap in the face of her, the second wife.
But now she can only endure it.
Seeing that Mao's mother hadn't come back yet, Qiao's looked haggard, and he commanded in a hoarse voice: "Go and see if Mao's mother has come back?" ”
The first-class maid in the second room is still a purple generation, but she is no longer the same person as before, since she almost "got separated" on the dock when she went south, the people around Qiao's let the second master change Yu Jing.
Today's two maids are both born in the family arranged by the second master, honest and not clever, and they are better than their duty.
Qiao's has never liked clumsy servants, so he saw that Qiu Xiang was clever and wanted to lift Qiu Xiang.
Everyone said that Qiu Xiang was going to be decent, but the mother-in-law and maidservants in the second room didn't expect Qiu Xiang's "decent" days to be so short.
On weekdays, the eldest lady gives face to the second wife, and it is not false to interfere in the chores here, but when she encounters something wrong, she is ruthless.
The servant who has been rectified by the second master is more honest this time.
Everyone can see that Qiao's second wife is unreliable. Many of the neighbors who were sent down by the second master before were Qiao's companions, serving her for half her life, and they didn't care about her, let alone these people later.
Qiu Xiang is not right for a servant to stare at the whereabouts of the young master, and she should not run to his wife to complain, but if it weren't for the second wife's heart, how could she dare to step on the young master and stammer his wife?
As a result, the second wife just cried, with an innocent face, and didn't even say a word of protection for Qiu Xiang, and let the eldest lady send Qiu Xiang down.
Qiu Xiang is a child of the family, and she is disgusted by the wife of the house, where will there be a good end? I can't say that even the family has to follow to the end.
But the second wife didn't ask a word and left it alone.
The servants in the second room of the small second room can be regarded as understanding, even if they are motivated, they dare not work hard next to the second wife, who knows that the second wife will be confused again next time, and it is not herself who is the top of the cylinder?
The maid went to the lower room, but did not find Mao's mother, and replied: "Madam, Mao's mother hasn't come home yet......
When the second wife heard this, she only felt a headache, and even pushed aside breakfast, undressed again, and returned to bed crookedly.
Because of the stay up all night last night, she fell asleep in a daze.
When Mao's mother came back with dark circles under her eyes and a dull face, and wanted to tell the second wife about the third brother's condition, she saw the second wife sleeping soundly.
Mao's mother rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside.
The heavy snow has stopped, and the sun is rising.
Although Shen Jue arranged a shift for everyone last night, Mao's mother was able to sleep because she had Yu Tie on her body? I stayed up until the fifth watch day over and over again, and took a few maids to change shifts.
Shen Jue had a high fever all night, wiped half a jar of wine, and gradually lowered it after dawn.
Shen Rui woke up after a nap, had breakfast, and sent Mao's mother to come back first, so that she could go over to work in the evening
Shen Jue's body is frostbitten, but his body is externally susceptible to wind evil, which is fine during the day, but easy to have a high fever at night. Mao's mother and Zhou's mother are old people, and it is also reassuring to have the two of them sitting in the town at night.
Mao's mother came out of the Northwest Courtyard, and she didn't care about going home first, so she went back to the second wife's side first, just to tell the second wife about the third brother's condition.
Unexpectedly, what I saw was this scene.
Even if Mao's mother is a subordinate, she will inevitably be slandered, shaking her head and withdrawing from the north room.
There was already a clever maid, who stepped forward and whispered about Qiuxiang, and there was no lack of sadness in the words of the rabbit and the fox.
Mother Mao heard this, but sighed heavily.
Qiu Xiang is of course wrong by herself, but the eldest lady directly interferes in the housework of the small second room, so she doesn't give the second wife face, and the subordinates in their second room will have to be people with their tails between them in the future......
Northwest Courtyard, North House.
Shen Rui wiped Shen Jue's forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Even if you haven't woken up yet, it's always good if you don't keep having a fever.
However, when he saw Shen Jue's red and bright fingers and swollen ears, Shen Rui's heart was full of anger, and it was not Qiao's who wanted to scold the most, but Shen Jue.
Usually the most clever person, but this time he is stupid, on such a cold day, he kneels when he says he kneels, don't he know how to be flexible?
Shen Rui also wanted to scold himself.
Are you stupid to read?
Obviously, when I saw Shen Jue in plain clothes yesterday, I still thought that he had filial piety, but why didn't you stop him when he was eating wine at noon?
If it weren't for the noon meal and the smell of alcohol on his body, Shen Jue would not have taken a bath in the snow.
The reason why Shen Jue knelt honestly and obediently must have been because of his weak heart after eating and drinking.
In the end, it was himself who caused Shen Jue to suffer a big crime.
Because of the fearlessness of imperial power in his bones, after seeing Brother Shou, he felt that "strange goods are liveable", which made the Shen family's neutral position sensitive; Because of his disapproval of etiquette and filial piety, he was calm on his face, but in fact he acted carelessly, so that the second wife caught Shen Jue's mistakes.
After Shen Rui reflected, he felt more and more ashamed.
At this moment, I heard someone behind me: "The third brother hasn't woken up yet?" ”
It was the third old man and his wife who got the news and came.
Shen Rui hurriedly got up and said, "Third uncle, third aunt." ”
The third master's face was very ugly, and the third wife was full of worry.
Since Shen Jue was asleep, the three old men and his wife stood in front of the bed, and everyone retreated outside to talk.
The child who was alive yesterday looked half-dead after a night.
The third old man's face turned pale, and when Shen Rui saw this, he hurriedly served tea in person: "Third uncle, don't worry too much, Brother Jue has already subsided his fever, and it's okay...... If the third uncle is worried that Brother Jue will hurt his body, Brother Jue will not be at ease when he wakes up."
The third lady was also worried about her husband, and explained: "Yes, master...... If something like this happens, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are enough to worry about, don't let them worry about the master......"
The third master laughed angrily and sneered: "Is this really for His Holiness? Just because she is an elder and has done this bastard thing, I can't be angry with her, and you can't say a bad word about her? ”
Shen Rui and the third wife both kept their mouths shut.
Shen Rui understood what etiquette was from last night's incident.
Even Shen Jue's lively and uninferior temperament did not resist Qiao's punishment of kneeling in the snow, which was caused by etiquette.
Be sure to take advantage of it.
Even if he hates Qiao's in his heart, the words of belittling and blaming Qiao's can't come out of his mouth, this is the truth of the elder and the young.
The third wife is a virtuous woman, so naturally she adheres to the way of being a woman and refuses to make a mistake.
Looking at the two aunts and nephews, they have become closed gourds, and then thinking about Shen Jue who was unconscious in the back room, the third master couldn't sit still, got up and said: "In this family, there is always someone who can cure her" After saying that, he raised his legs and left.
The third lady then got up, and was about to follow, but hesitated for a moment, and sat down again.
The third master is going to the main house to find the Xu family to be the master, and he will definitely crusade against the Qiao family. Qiao's has a lot of no, after all, it is a sister-in-law, there are some things that the little uncle can say, but the little sister-in-law can't say.
The third wife asked about Shen Jue's symptoms, and when she heard that her ears, hands and feet were frostbitten, she said, "If you want to treat chilblains, I still have a home remedy here, and when the third brother recovers in a few days, you can use it." ”
Shen Rui listened to it and hurriedly said, "What home remedies?" I heard that this chilblain is not easy to remove from the roots, and after a little bit of bad treatment, it will be ...... every year."
"I'll call someone to bring it to you later. I brought it from my mother's house, so I didn't think I would need it. The third lady sighed.
It is natural for a mother to discipline her son, but there is no such discipline method.
Qiao's looked kind, but he was ruthless. If you change to someone else, where is you willing to punish a child so heavily.
The main courtyard, the upper room.
The third old man came in anger, and without waiting to speak, he let Xu Shi stand his eyebrows and take a beating: "The heart is calm and angry, and Ping Suli lets you learn Buddhism and cultivate the Tao, and when you encounter things, you are still stunned and stunned, are you still a teenager this year?" ”
scolded him with a face, but scolded the third master to put out the fire.
He was full of anger but dispersed, only helpless, and said: "Sister-in-law, you just control the second sister-in-law, you really want to let her do what she wants, this time it is Brother Mojue, and next time I have to go to the East Courtyard to steal the fourth brother."
Xu Shi only felt a headache, frowned, and said, "What are you talking about?" Even if she is rare for the fourth brother, it is because she saw that the fourth brother and Brother Luo were similar to each other when they were young, so where did they get involved in stealing children? ”
The third old man said with a bitter face: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I slander the second sister-in-law, it's just that she has always been different from what ordinary people think...... If I hadn't revealed my whereabouts, I wouldn't have dared to tell my sister-in-law about this. ”
When Xu heard this, his expression became stern, and he said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The third old man hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I didn't want my sister-in-law to worry about it, so I didn't tell my sister-in-law that the second sister-in-law asked someone to find Ma a few days ago." ”
Ma is the nurse of the fourth brother and a servant of the Shen family, but her grandmother was the third old lady's dowry.
The Xu family is in charge, and the elders who rely on the old and sell the old in the family have "graced" out of the house, but those girls and boys who have been married are mixed with the Shen family, and they are not particularly distinguished, otherwise it is like her daughter-in-law who can't tolerate the old people called by her mother-in-law.
For the first time, he inquired about the situation of the fourth brother, and rewarded Ma with five taels of silver. Ma was timid, and when he went back, he told his mother about the fourth brother...... A few days ago, I found an excuse to call Ma's, and the words were full of incense in the Zen temple, which monk approved the ...... of the miracle" The third old man frowned.
"You're on guard, but you're on the lookout, but what she wants to do?" Xu Shi endured his anger and said.
She has a lack of energy these days, and the New Year is approaching, so she can't take care of it for a while, but she didn't expect Qiao's to stir up the wind and rain.
If you want to say that Shen Jue's guilt yesterday was still Qiao's whim, it can be regarded as an accident, then it is ill-intentioned to put your hands and feet into the third room.
The third master sneered: "What else can there be?" It's just a matter of hindering relatives and foster care, and many of those monks and Taoists rely on this to fool their female relatives and cheat money. The sister-in-law didn't need to check anything else, she just called the porter and asked the second room which people were out these days to see the clues. ”
The speculation of the three masters is shocking.
The Xu family can't convict the Qiao family based on the three old man's empty mouths and white teeth, even if the Ma family testifies that he received Qiao's reward, it doesn't mean anything. My aunt loved her nephew and couldn't help but ask a few more words in private, which was not a sin.
However, if you collude with the likes of monks and Taoists and want to deceive the fourth brother, it will be too much.
The third master and the third wife have been married for more than ten years, and only then can this bloodline land, and they regard it as the root of their lives. This is too despicable to ask the third master and the third wife to send their own flesh and blood in the name of "children are difficult to raise".
"If there are traces, then check that as long as she does it, there will always be clues outside," Xu said with a cold face.
Seeing that Xu's anger was ruthless, the third master was uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Maybe it's just my villain's heart and the belly of a gentleman, sister-in-law don't worry about it first, if I worry about the sky, wouldn't it be annoying that sister-in-law will sulk in vain"
The Xu family does not want to continue to be appeased, the family inheritance, and the heirs are the heaviest.
The fourth brother is no older than Shen Rui and Shen Jue, but the one-year-old milk doll, if Qiao's really wants to do things by the side of the fourth brother, it will be impossible to prevent it. In case of an accident, the third master and the third wife will also follow.
The Xu family is the head of the house, and the Shen family has always had strict access control, and they want to check the people who have left the house in each room recently, but it is just a matter of orders, and then the porter took the register and came back to talk.
In the days when Qiao's family returned to Beijing, he only sent people out of the house once, but then Brother Luo's nurse entered the house three times.
Brother Luo's nurse was Qiao's roommate, and later she was accompanied by Shen Zhou's long-term companion, and after Brother Luo landed, she chose to be Brother Luo's nurse.
When Brother Luo stopped breastfeeding, the nurse stayed by Brother Luo's side as a foster mother.
It wasn't until Brother Luo's accident that Qiao's anger turned to this adoptive mother that she drove her out, and she didn't even stay in the mansion with her family.
However, the second old man remembered the old love and asked them to go to the old house in the south of the city to see the house.
The old man around Qiao's side was "released" twice by the second master, and he was replaced by Yu Jing, but this adoptive mother's family was a "fish that slipped through the net".
"Do you have anything to bring with you?" Xu asked.
"When you come empty-handed, when you go away, you will be rewarded." The Shen family's eunuch mansion can be selected as the subordinate of the gatehouse, and the eyesight and memory are all good: "The eldest sister next to the second wife sent it out, but the rewards have been reported, there is a pair of vases, and an old dressing box, I heard that this adopted lady is going to go out of the cabinet, and the second wife is rewarded at the bottom of the box......"
