Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 108 The Host (2)
Shen Juren originally thought that Zheng was a sensible person, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that her tone was biased towards Uncle Zhang, and he couldn't help glaring at Zheng.
Zheng didn't look at Shen Juren, only took Zhang Sanjie's hand and rubbed it, and said with a loving face: "Look at this little lady like nephrite, it makes people love it to their hearts." β
Sister Zhang's heart was originally in Shen Jin, and she regarded the Zheng family as her mother-in-law in her heart, seeing that she liked herself so much, but she didn't have the fate of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she only felt sour and astringent in her heart. Although she knew that she had deed to the Shen family, her extravagant hope of marrying Shen Jin would be disappointed, but she still couldn't help but get close to the Zheng family, and whispered with a shy face: "Don't dare to praise as a second mother." β
Seeing her so pure and well-behaved, Zheng was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Lao Anren, there is a way to get the best of both worlds here for the concubine, but I'm afraid that the old man will not be willing to do it." β
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Zheng.
Zheng sighed and said: "The concubine only gave birth to one eldest brother, and now the eldest brother is recorded in the name of the eldest mother, and the concubine is alone." In the future, he is also a lonely ghost, and there is no one to worship. If you have two daughters like this, you can be more lively around the concubines in the future. β
As soon as she finished saying this, she was a little cold.
Uncle Zhang and Zhang Lao'an were unhappy, the Zhang family's concubine was just an adopted daughter of the Shen family, and she also had to be an adopted daughter of a concubine?
Shen Juren felt a little pity for the Zheng family's lack of children under his current name, and thought that this idea was good, but the third sister Zhang was okay, and it was nothing to recognize the Zheng family as her mother; Fourth Sister Zhang had a plan, and he would be raised outside in the future, and with the addition of Zheng's adoptive mother, he was afraid that he would get in the way, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Zheng couldn't do it, and said: "The two little ladies are already in the year of marriage, and they want to take care of their relatives when they see it." Lao An people need to recuperate, and the old man can't take care of these trivial matters, so the concubine herself recommends herself as the two little ladies Zhang Luo? β
Hearing this, the faces of Zhang Lao'an and Uncle Zhang immediately warmed up.
Zheng took care of his old mother and younger brothers, and his family was poor, so he became a concubine and had few marriages. However, because Uncle Zheng later won the promotion and the Jinshi one after another, and was released to the county, the Zheng family's life gradually passed. Mrs. Zheng has passed away, and Uncle Zheng treats her eldest sister like a mother, even if she is an official thousands of miles away, she does not forget to send someone to congratulate Zheng on her birthday every year.
Over the years, Zheng also had a small amount of savings on hand.
When the third sister Zhang and the fourth sister Zhang came to the Shen family after the deed, they always had to prepare two dowries. After all, with the title of "Shen family's adopted daughter", if it is too shabby, it will make people laugh, if it is similar, one person will also cost a few hundred taels of silver. If the Zheng family responds and helps to buy a dowry, it is really "the best of both worlds".
Zhang Lao'an said with a smile: "Lianniang has always been a careful person, and it is also a blessing for their sisters to have your help." β
Uncle Zhang was a little anxious: "The one thousand taels of silver ......"
Shen Juren was beside him, his brows furrowed again, and just as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Zheng's smile: "It's rare for a concubine to ask the lord once, and the lord can't bear to cut his love and give his two good daughters to the concubine."
Shen Juren snorted lightly, but didn't speak.
Zheng smiled and said to Uncle Zhang: "Don't worry, uncle, the master has a big head, and the remaining four hundred taels will be wrapped around the concubine." It's just that it can be said that these two little ladies have entered our Shen family, and they can be our Shen family from the hair to the soles of their feet, and whether it is hiring money or dowry in the future, it is very different from the Zhang family. β
This was originally said yesterday, but Uncle Zhang nodded busily: "It should be so." β
Zhang Lao'an saw that it had come to pass, and only felt comfortable, and said to the third sister Zhang and the fourth sister Zhang with a smile: "Don't change your name and call your mother"
Sister Zhang got up and saluted Zheng again, even omitting "two", and called "Niang" directly. Sister Zhang was willing, and there was more admiration on her face; Fourth Sister Zhang was in her heart, but because she knew that her sister and her dowry were going to fall on the Zheng family, she also called "Niang" sweetly and glutinously.
Although Shen Juren complied with Zheng's wishes and did not object to this matter again, he was still a little unhappy on his face.
Uncle Zhang was thinking about the silver, so he said: "Since it is done, the silver ......."
Zheng held Third Sister Zhang with one hand and Fourth Sister Zhang with the other, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, wait for the deed formalities to be obtained, and naturally give the Zhuang ticket to Uncle Grandpa." Our master's character, my uncle can't believe it. β
When Uncle Zhang saw Shen Juren's expression, he was afraid that he would regret it, so he urged him to go to the Yamen to pass the deed earlier.
Zheng looked at the two heads he brought before, and he was a little embarrassed: "These two heads are silver and gilt, and they are bright to wear, but they can't help it." Gather it up and keep it for your reward. Jinbaolou has just entered the fresh style of inlaid treasure hairpins and pearl bracelets these daysδΈ¨ My mother will take you to pick them up in a while. One person first adds two sets of head and face wear; Clothes should also be added, there are no bright materials at home, let's go to the embroidery workshop to have a look......"
The clothes of Third Sister Zhang and Fourth Sister Zhang are indeed shabby, at such a young age, where is there anyone who does not love beauty, and both of them have joy on their faces.
Shen Juren and Zhang Lao'an are not unwilling, since they are the adopted daughters of the Shen family, Sister Zhang always has to dress up, so as not to lose the face of the Shen family. Moreover, even if some silver is spent, it will not be wasted in the dowry in the future.
So, except for Zhang Laoan, who was at home, everyone else went out happily.
Speaking of this, Hao's mother took a breath.
Seeing this, Dongxi immediately stepped forward with tea. Hao's mother took it and ate two bites, Fang continued: "The master came back from lunch, and the eldest brother came back after a while to talk to Lao Anren in the backyard. When I heard that there were two more sisters, there was no joy on my face. Lao Anren thought that the eldest brother had taken a fancy to the third sister, so he comforted him. About the time of Shen, there was a maid Xiaoli next to Erniang who came to look for Lao An to save his life. said that Erniang came back and had a dispute with the master in the study, and the master made a move, and he had to write a concubine book. β
"The eldest brother and Lao An were in a hurry, the eldest brother took the first step, and Lao An then took the old slave and others to the study. In the study, it was already a mess. The old man not only beat Erniang, but even the eldest brother. He also asked someone to pass on the board, and he wanted to practice the law on the eldest brother. β
Lao An hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and the old man pointed at Erniang and scolded 'poisonous woman,'. Lao An asked the reason, but the old man refused to say; asked Erniang again, but Erniang didn't speak. Lao An couldn't, and he was afraid that the eldest brother would suffer a loss, so he asked the eldest brother to help Erniang go down first. The old man refused to let them go, and when Lao An saw that something was wrong, he sent his servants and mothers-in-law out of the house, and asked the old slave to guard at the door, and then began to ask the master. β
It turned out that after Erniang separated from the master at noon, she took the third sister Zhang and the fourth sister Zhang out to go shopping under the banner of picking jewelry, but when she went home, she was alone. After the master got the news, he sent someone to invite Erniang to the study, and Erniang directly took fifty taels of silver and two deeds to the master. The two little ladies of the Zhang family have already asked Erniang to sell, and the old man was annoyed and asked her where she was sold, but Erniang didn't say anything, so she started. β
Lao Anren was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this, but he couldn't figure it out, and asked Erniang angrily. Erniang is still mussel-mouthed and doesn't say anything. The eldest brother knelt down and said that he came up with the idea, and the person was sold by him, and he did not get along with Erniang. also said that the Zhang family's door was not right, and the two little ladies of the Zhang family could not be the daughters of the Shen family, for fear of staining the lintel. Lao An was still confused, and the old man was already so angry that he kicked the eldest brother immediately, scolded non-stop, and asked the third sister and the fourth sister where they were. β
The eldest brother just didn't say it, Lao An reacted, so he asked the eldest brother to help Erniang go down first, and then asked the master if he had an affair with the two nieces outside the table, the old man denied it, and only kept cursing the eldest brother and Erniang. Lao An scolded the old man severely. scolded fiercely, and the old man said impatiently, "The little whore I touched, why can't I sleep?" I ate my family's food for three years in vain, and I only slept three nights and lost money. Lao An was so angry that he immediately fainted. β
When the old slave heard the movement and helped Lao Anren go back, he heard that the eldest brother took Erniang out of the city. The old man sent someone to ask a few questions, and when he heard that he was going to Zhuangzi outside the city, he scolded twice, but did not ask anyone to stop him. β
After telling what happened, Hao's mother sighed: "It's really a dog that can bite people and doesn't bark." This Erniang usually looks gentle and gentle, treats everyone politely, and never blushes with others, but this time she is ruthless. The fourth sister of the Zhang family behaved inappropriately, and she was not innocent with this fate; The third sister of the Zhang family is an honest person, and she is affected in vain.
Before Shen Rui came back, he had already heard Changshou say that he knew that the Zheng family came back alone, and he had already dealt with Third Sister Zhang and Fourth Sister Zhang, but after hearing this detailed scene, he still felt surprised.
The Zheng family's posture is not only to deal with the Zhang sisters, but also to break with Shen Juren.
"Did the master really write a concubine document?" Shen Rui thought for a moment and asked.
Hao's mother nodded and said, "I wrote it, because this old man still recited a few words to the master." After all, Erniang is the biological mother of the eldest brother, no matter what she does wrong, for the sake of the eldest brother, she should not be a concubine. Speaking of this, he sighed: "Erniang is too bold this time, no one in the Zheng family is in Songjiang, and Erniang has no way to live without the Shen family." The old man seems to regret it, but he can't get over it on his face, and it will take a few days to let go. β
Shen Rui listened, but he didn't care.
Where will Zheng have no way to live? There is a brother who is an official, and his own son also has an estate in his name, and he has a private house in his own hands, and he has only a better life away from the fourth room.
Just looking at Zheng's actions, the intention is quite profound.
Shen Jin has always been respectful to Lao Anren and Shen Juren, and the Zheng family exposed Shen Juren's shameless face in front of his son, which added to the suspicion between the father and son. Even if Shen Jin is filial, he will not reprimand his elders for their mistakes; That Shen Juren knows that his son knows his ugly things, can he still feel at ease in his heart? Coming and going, father and son will only gradually drift apart
Hao's mother was just afraid that Shen Ruimeng would be in the dark, and she accidentally touched the fire between Shen Juren and Lao An in the past few days, so she had to come over to report the news. After saying what he had to say, he hurried back again.
Shen Rui didn't know why, remembering the private conversation between Zheng and Shen Juren on the night of Shen Jin's birthday.
It is estimated that at that time, Zheng had the heart to leave, otherwise he would not have made such a decision in just one night.
It's just that parents in this world are more likely to be children as the root of their lives, and this Zheng family is so courageous that he can really be willing to let go of Shen Jin. This mother and son, did they really go to Zhuangzi outside the city?
