Volume 1: Who Have Seen Again, Chapter 310: Reaping Cause and Effect (5)
Qiao's family room is already in a mess.
Master Qiao wanted to come out of the way, and he insisted on going his own way, and the brothers were not good at arguing in the Shen family, so they came out of the Shen family.
Master Qiao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his plans, in his opinion, there were too few brothers like him who were benevolent and righteous to plan for his sister.
When Qiao's took it, he was also willing to provide for her for a lifetime.
As for Qiao's dowry, it is originally the Qiao family's thing, so what's wrong with returning to the Qiao family?
knew that Shen Jue was such a white-eyed wolf, and their brother should not have allowed the Shen family's second room to pass by in the first place. Even if the last one has to pass the heir, the distribution of Qiao's dowry should be agreed in advance.
It is also true that a married woman has no children, and the dowry returns to her parents' family after death. Now that the heir is in his name, it makes the Qiao family constrained.
The second master Qiao and the third master Qiao couldn't let the elder brother go crazy, the road was not the place to talk, and the two brothers followed the eldest master Qiao to the side of the long house.
When Master Qiao saw the two brothers together, he became more and more irritable.
He knew that his tongue was not as clever as his brother, and he was impatient to listen to his verbosity, so he snorted coldly at the two of them, and went directly to the back house to find a concubine. Although it is said that he is abstinent during the filial piety period, as long as he does not do it on the bright side, no one will pay attention to it. Besides, he is no longer an official now, and he doesn't have to be afraid of the imperial history.
Although the second master Qiao and the third master Qiao were in a hurry, they couldn't chase them to the elder brother's concubine's room.
"Big brother, he's really a ghost," Master Qiao San was angry.
Qiao's really wants to return, which will have a fatal impact on the second and third rooms
The second house is a businessman, and the children are all concubines, and they can't climb the high door when they say they are married, even if Qiao's affairs have an impact, they are also numerous; But it is not easy for the business of the second room to go smoothly.
In the realm of the capital, big fish have always eaten small fish, and there is no need to rely on doing business, so don't think about it. In the past, Master Qiao San was able to help Master Qiao find a backer, not because Master Qiao San had a lot of face, but because the Qiao family was the in-law of Shangshu Mansion, and Master Shen San was the cousin of Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
For Master Qiao San, a pair of sons and daughters have reached the age of seeing each other, and they had to wait for Mrs. Qiao to start seeing each other after the anniversary. There is a big aunt in the family, where will others believe in the upbringing of the Qiao family? If the Shen family or Shen Zhou had a bad reputation, even if Qiao's situation made people slander, they would have some pity; The partial-born Shen family is known as a clear name, and Shen Zhou has not had any bad deeds in the Hanlin Academy for more than 20 years.
Compared with the Shen family, the eldest master of the Qiao family is well known to ask for crimes and dismissals, and the two families have good or bad character, do they need to compare?
Then there is the official career of Master Qiao San, in the case that the Qiao family has fallen, it is difficult to go for a long time without the Shen family as a backer.
"Third brother, this matter is very important, should I invite my sister-in-law?" Second Master Qiao hesitated for a moment and said.
Master Qiaosan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, I don't believe it when I tell my sister-in-law, this eldest brother is confused, and my sister-in-law is also confused?" ”
With a decision in his heart, the third master Qiao pulled the housekeeper: "Go and tell the eldest lady, just say that I have an urgent matter with the second master, please come out to meet the eldest lady"
The butler bowed down and trotted to see Mrs. Qiao.
Before Master Qiao left, the news revealed in the words of the three brothers made his heart turbulent. Even if Master Qiao San didn't order, he would have to go to find Mrs. Qiao.
My mother, is this lard fierce? Do you want to let Mrs. Gu "return"? Didn't he know that after losing his official position and resigning, the Qiao family could still live in peace, but it was because the Qiao family was the in-laws of the Shen family.
This in-law is really going to tear it apart, needless to say anything else, even this Qiao family's mansion can't be saved. Beijing officials stubble after stubble, how many people want to buy property in the city, but they can only pawn the house and rent the house.
Master Qiao was dismissed from office, and the most promising of his sons is just Tongsheng, if he really wants to leave the Shen family, he must not be eaten alive by life? As for Master Qiao San, he is just a foreign official, not to mention his shallow connections in the capital, he may not offend people for his brother.
Before the housekeeper came over, Mrs. Qiao had already received the news that the two younger uncles had returned with her husband.
She was suspicious in her heart, before going to the banquet, Master Qiao thought that it was all Shen Jue's family affairs, but Mrs. Qiao thought directly of her sister-in-law.
She had the heart to remind her husband, but Master Qiao was impatient to see his old wife at all, either raising flowers and teasing birds in the study, or fooling around in the dark with the concubines in the back house.
Mrs. Qiao was annoyed and ignored it, but she also hoped that her sister-in-law would not cause a big disaster, not because she had a deep relationship with Qiao's sister-in-law, but for fear of implicating her family.
The housekeeper was a little anxious, and came in and said, "Madam, it's not good, the master wants to make the master and let the aunt return."
Mrs. Qiao's face turned pale and she stood up suddenly.
It's really Qiao's business. Mrs. Qiao was not surprised by this, but what was unexpected was her husband's faint trick.
"That's what the two masters are here for?" Thinking of this, Qiao sat down again.
"Exactly." The housekeeper said: "The third old man also ordered the villain to come over and communicate, saying that there is an urgent matter to ask his wife to come out to speak, and it should be for this matter......"
"But what rules did Mrs. Gu do wrong?" For the culprit's sister-in-law, Mrs. Qiao hated her teeth so much.
"I have never heard of it. Listening to the meaning of the words of several masters, Shangshufu is going to take Mrs. Gu out of the city to raise, the second master and the third master responded, only the master is here, and he has to take Mrs. Gu back...... "The housekeeper replied.
Mrs. Qiao laughed angrily: "Going to Shangshu Mansion to play prestige, it's really a brother and sister relationship"
"Mrs., the second master and the third master are in a hurry...... "Under the nest, there are eggs, even if the housekeeper is a servant, he does not want to kill the Qiao family, and he wishes that his wife would come forward to settle the matter."
Mrs. Qiao was also a little anxious in her anger, and then when she heard the reaction of the second and third masters of Qiao, she calmed down instead.
She picked the corners of her mouth and sneered: "Then let them be in a hurry, they are all stupid things with careful eyes, where can that little selfish calculation get on the table?" It's buying property and saving private houses, for fear that someone will share their benefits. I used to treat this side as a down-and-out household, and I hurriedly moved out of the city to live a good life, but now I should let them understand what it means to be 'one glory and one loss,......
The housewife is calm, and the housekeeper is also a lot more relieved.
The eldest lord has been in charge for half his life, if there was no old lady and eldest lady in charge of the house, there would be no need to wait until today, and the Qiao family would have been defeated a long time ago.
In Qiao's family room, the eldest lady has always spoken more effectively than the eldest master.
Don't look at the eldest lord's shouting and drinking at home for half a year, majestic and majestic, that's just that the eldest lady doesn't care. If the eldest lady was really a docile woman who "regards her husband as the sky", she would not have suppressed the eldest lady for thirty years. As long as the eldest lady makes up her mind, there are countless tricks that can take care of the eldest master......
In the living room of the front yard, the second master Qiao and the third master Qiao waited for half an hour, and they didn't see the housekeeper come back.
Second Master Qiao thought about his eldest sister-in-law's temperament, frowned, and secretly said tricky in his heart.
Master Qiao San is a humble gentleman in front of outsiders, but he doesn't hide much in front of his own family. The anger in his heart became more and more vigorous, and he said angrily: "Where did this dog kill people? ”
Second Master Qiao smiled bitterly.
The third master Qiao couldn't help it, got up and said: "Second brother, since the sister-in-law can't come out, let's go in, this is not the time to avoid enjoying leisure."
Uncles and sisters-in-law are all old, but there is no avoidance between men and women. The reason why Fang Cai did not enter the house directly is because now that the family has been separated, it is considered a two families, and they should abide by the word "etiquette".
The second master Qiao vaguely guessed Mrs. Qiao's intentions, and wanted to share a conversation with the third master, but he didn't dare to gamble. If you guess wrong, you will never recover.
He extinguished his voice and silently followed behind the third master to the inner house.
Before I could go to the room, I saw four or five mothers-in-law and maidservants standing under the porch, looking panicked.
There was a faint cry in the upper room, and there was a little more surprise in the eyes of the second master Qiao, and the face of the third master Qiao became more and more ugly.
The maid under the porch went in early to report, and the crying stopped abruptly.
Master Qiao San's heart became heavier and heavier, and his face drooped. Second Master Qiao is footsteps are a little fluttering, can't Mrs. Qiao control Master Qiao?
At this time, a servant flashed out and blessed the second and third masters of Qiao: "I have seen the second master and the third master, and the wife has just taken a nap, and now she is freshening up, please wait for the two masters." ”
Second Master Qiao and Third Master Qiao looked up at the sky, all speechless.
It's not too early or too late, it's time for a nap?
After a while, he asked the servant to carry water into the upper room.
This time, it didn't take long for the second and third masters of Qiao, but at the time of a cup of tea, a servant came out to invite him.
With this cover, the second master Qiao and the third master Qiao noticed that something was wrong.
Although Mrs. Qiao was smiling and wearing homely clothes, her face was covered with a layer of powder, and her eyes were red. Looking at the room again, the Duobao grid that was separated between the hall and the back room was half empty, and the rest were bulky things.
Master Qiao San bluffed and said, "Big brother came to sister-in-law to make such a fuss?" ”
Mrs. Qiao hurriedly shook her head and denied: "No, there is no good life, but what is the trouble?" ”
Master Qiao San frowned and said, "I think the eldest brother just doesn't want to live a good life, so it's a toss inside and out."
Mrs. Qiao smiled reluctantly and sighed faintly.
The second master Qiao was secretly looking at Mrs. Qiao, and his heart became more and more bottomless, is this a show? Or is it true?
No matter what, the only person in the Qiao family who can really restrain Master Qiao is Mrs. Qiao, and the housekeeper can not only see this, but also can't hide the delicate Second Master Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao didn't want to talk about her husband's rights and wrongs, but the third master Qiao refused to save face for his brother, so he talked about the Shen family's trip, focusing on the whim of Master Qiao and Shen Cang's strange silence after hearing the words of "Dagui".
After saying it in one breath, Master Qiao San said with regret on his face: "Sister-in-law, is it true that only the eldest brother is my sister's compatriot, and I am not the younger brother?" But my sister did make a mistake in the past, and the eldest cousin and sister-in-law were already treated with dignity for my sister, what else? Although the fourth brother of the Shen family is only an infant baby, he is the only biological bloodline of Shangshu Mansion, and Shen San has such a body, his sister has even bought medicine, and if the fourth brother of the Shen family has a good life, Shen San will not have to live......"
Mrs. Qiao was stunned when she heard this, although she knew that there must be something wrong with Qiao's family, but she didn't expect her to do this, could it really be that Shen Cang and his wife were vegetarians?
Immediately, Mrs. Qiao broke out in a cold sweat and was afraid. Fortunately, the matter did not come to pass, otherwise it would be difficult to say that Qiao's life would be difficult to protect, even if the Qiao family could not say it, they would be angered by Shen Cang and his wife.
I hate my own master, it's really crazy, for a vicious girl, the reputation of the family, the future of children and grandchildren are all gone.
Mrs. Qiao was extremely restrained, and there was still a slight anger on her face.
Seeing this, Second Master Qiao finally let go of his heart.
The third master Qiao has been away for many years, and he has little to do with his sister-in-law, and he doesn't have the eyesight of the second master Qiao, so he is still in a hurry: "Sister-in-law, no matter what, I can't let the eldest brother make trouble again, looking at the meaning of the eldest cousin, I am afraid that I can't wait to send my sister back by hand...... At that time, the Qiao family couldn't hold their heads up for generations."
Mrs. Qiao said with a wry smile: "But the master is iron-hearted this time......"
When Master Qiao San heard this, where could he still sit?
He stood up, frowned and paced back and forth a few steps, then turned around and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, this is really not the time to follow the eldest brother. If you really want your sister to return, there must be a reason, even if the Shen family is kind and doesn't throw out the reason, the world's speculation will only become more and more outrageous. The Qiao family has a bad reputation, and the marriage and future of their children and grandchildren will be delayed......"
"Marry your husband. The old man's temper really wants to come up, how can he take care of others? The two uncles can't stop it, let alone me, an old woman in the house? Mrs. Qiao's face was full of helplessness.
Master Qiao San sat down again, was silent for a while, and then Fang wrinkled his brows and said: "Sister-in-law, if you really want to talk about it, the eldest brother still has a mistake that has not been resolved, and he should have been filial piety in front of the old lady for three years......"
Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Qiao turned cold.
If you really want to uncover the matter of Old Man Qiao's anger to Old Mrs. Qiao, and bring out the elders in the clan, you can clean up Master Qiao, but Qiao's family room also fell into the dust.
"What did the third uncle say? As the eldest son, the old man has been in front of the old lady for all these years, who doesn't know that our master is a dutiful son...... Has the way of the world changed now? Serving filial piety in front of parents has become a mistake? Mrs. Qiao's voice was cold.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, although Master Qiao San looks down on the eldest brother in his heart, he has always been respectful to the eldest sister-in-law.
He sneered: "I'm also for the good ...... of the Qiao family."
Mrs. Qiao's expression slowed slightly, and she stopped talking: "Actually, the old man has to take Mrs. Gu back, or have other plans......
Hearing this, Second Master Qiao's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart.
Singing and playing for a long time, this serious drama should also come.
He glanced at Master Qiao San with his eyes, and saw that Master Qiao San was really attracted to attention, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is the ......eldest brother's plan?"
Shen House, Nine Like Residence.
Shen Rui sat in the study, thinking about Shen Cang's words, and his heart was a little confused. Even if he is a human being in two lives, he is still too immature compared to Shen Cang, who has been up and down in the sea for most of his life.
Shen Yan is definitely not a worm.
Shen Cang let himself control Shen Yan, isn't he afraid of "raising tigers for trouble"?
Shen Rui was not afraid of Shen Yan, but thought about manipulating the fate of others, and his heart was quite heavy.
Thinking of this, Shen Rui laughed at himself. What are you pretentious about? It is better to manipulate others than to be manipulated by others
He was thinking wildly when he heard someone outside the window: "Second brother"
It was Shen Jue who came.
Shen Jue's expression was a little strange, and he entered the study and approached Shen Rui's side, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, do you say that the second master hates the second wife?" ”
Shen Rui raised his eyebrows: "Okay, why do you ask this?" The affairs of the elders are left to the elders
Shen Jue said mysteriously: "Second brother, I heard that the second wife is going to raise, and the Zhuangzi is the place where the second master places the nursing mother's family to care for the elderly......"
This is not news, Shen Rui knew it earlier, so he heard Shen Jue continue: "The nurse of the second master has a blood feud with the second wife......
