Chapter 30: Suffering from the Beating
Wen Qingzhu got up, bowed his head and replied: "Back to my grandmother's words, it's just that Sister Qinghe saw that I could make lotus cakes and wanted to learn before, so I went over to teach her a few days ago." ”
The old lady looked at her fixedly, and her eyes were very picky.
She has already sent someone to check, Wen Qingzhu went over, and it was indeed to make lotus cakes.
The kitchen was also occupied by Aunt Zhen's people halfway.
There was nothing unusual about this, and the old lady waved her hand.
Wen Qingzhu returned to his seat.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and Aunt Wu's mother and daughter couldn't help but tighten their palms.
At this time, the fourth lady Yang walked in with Wen Qingxin.
Aunt Wu's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"Mother." Yang has a lively personality and even a loud voice.
When she spoke, the whole room looked over.
"Come and sit." The old lady was not surprised at all when she came.
Although she had been instructed not to come.
"Grandmother." Although Wen Qingxin was still in the grounding period, this time she came out, but the old lady allowed it.
She trotted up to the old lady, her eyes were red, and she said coquettishly: "Xin'er hasn't seen you for a few days, and I'm about to cry when I think about you." ”
"Xin'er is good." The old lady comforted her and pulled her to sit down beside her.
Yang followed behind Wen Qingxin and sat down on the other side of the old lady.
The three of them chatted as if no one was around.
The few people sitting below, Wen Qingzhu had long been used to it, Aunt Wu's mother and daughter were nervous, and Aunt Yue's mother and daughter were silent.
It was about a quarter of an hour before the room fell silent.
"Wu." The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Wu lightly.
Aunt Wu hurriedly got up, bowed her head on her knees and said, "Old lady." ”
"The four girls' family affairs are promising?"
Hearing this, Wen Qinglan almost couldn't help but jump.
Why did you still talk about her marriage!
Aunt Wu squinted at Wen Qinglan, and immediately replied after retracting her gaze: "Back to the old lady, the third master has been busy with official business recently, and Lan'er's marriage has been put on hold for the time being." ”
"In that case, it's better for me to tell the four girls about family affairs." Yang suddenly interjected.
Aunt Wu had already prepared, and euphemistically refused: "Thank you for your concern, it's just the marriage of the four girls, and the concubine's mother's family intends to marry Lan'er, so ......"
Yang raised his eyebrows, and asked with a malicious smile: "But I heard that the eldest brother of the Wu family is also six years younger than the fourth girl, so there is no suitable one." ”
Aunt Wu was angry in her heart, did these four ladies really want to tell her Lan'er a matchmaker!
With a lot of thoughts in her mind, Aunt Wu decided to test the old lady's intentions.
So she replied: "My mother's side does have intentions, after all, there are still a lot of concubine brothers, in fact, the main problem is that our third room lacks a housewife, otherwise Lan'er's marriage-"
Hearing her mention this, the old lady's face paled, and she stopped: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the main mother, I have my own arrangements, as for the marriage of the four girls, it is indeed time to put it on the agenda, after all, the marriage of the three girls has already been decided, and the four girls cannot be delayed." ”
Aunt Wu's hands trembled faintly, the old lady didn't plan to let her take the throne!
No way!
"Old lady! Although Lan'er is old, she is the only daughter of the concubine after all, and she is also the heart of the third master. ”
Aunt Wu gritted her teeth and refused the old lady stubbornly.
Immediately, the old lady's expression sank, and her tone was quite unkind: "Why, as the grandmother of the fourth girl, she can't be her master?" ”
Yang, who was sitting next to him, had a hearty smile on his face.
If you dare to hurt my family Xin'er and Liang'er, I will destroy your Lan'er!
Aunt Wu's head lowered lower: "What the old lady taught me is that the concubine knows that she is wrong. ”
In the shadows that others can't see, her eyes are as if they were poisonous.
The hanging heart keeps thinking, why haven't people come yet!
Just as the Yang family was about to ridicule Aunt Wu, Wen Shuquan's voice suddenly came from the door.
"Mother."
Uncle Wen walked in with Wen Mingqian and Wen Mingxuan.
Immediately, Yang's face darkened, and before he could speak, he was held down by the old lady.
Uncle Wen glanced at the room and found that all the people from Yanyuan had come.
Stepping forward, he took his two sons to greet the old lady.
"Get up." The old lady raised her hand and motioned for them to take their seats.
When Wen Mingqian passed by Aunt Wu's side, he nodded at her.
This scene happened to be seen by Wen Qingxin.
"Grandmother, didn't the third uncle say that he has been very busy lately and has no time to come to see you? Why is it suddenly here now? Wen Qingxin asked deliberately.
Hearing this, the old lady's heart was clear.
looked at Aunt Wu who was kneeling, and her eyes became more and more dissatisfied.
After Uncle Wen sat down, he asked the old lady, "Dare to ask my mother to invite them over, but what's the matter?" ”
The old lady smiled: "It's not that there is no housewife in your courtyard, thinking that my birthday banquet is coming soon, Aunt Yue's first housekeeper is always a little unskilled, I called them all over and gave a few instructions." ”
mentioned the matter of continuing the string again, and Uncle Wen's head jumped straight up.
But he came and went, and he couldn't help but reply.
"What Mother said is that this continuation is not in a hurry, and sometimes it must be in life."
The old lady knew his temperament and didn't say much.
After all, she forcibly intervened before, which had already hurt the relationship between mother and son.
As the third child in the family and her second son, the relationship between the two is weaker.
"Ziyan, order someone to serve the food."
Ziyan nodded and turned to command.
Wen Qingxin and Yang helped the old lady to get up and walked to the dining table.
The people in the third room followed in turn, and after the old lady sat down, the maids who delivered the vegetables came in.
After the dishes were served, everyone began to eat without saying a word, and ate quietly.
Half an hour later, the group returned to the antechamber.
The old lady didn't look at Wen Shuquan, and directly chatted with Wen Qingzhu about needlework.
After sitting for more than a quarter of an hour, Uncle Wen finally made sure that the old lady had nothing to do, so he got up and resigned.
The old lady naturally agreed.
But Wen Mingqian was worried about his aunt and Wen Qinglan, and he was a little reluctant to leave, so he paused twice.
Uncle Wen looked back at it and said coldly: "Qian'er, your recent homework has fallen behind, and you need to be serious." ”
Wen Mingqian wanted to say something, but Aunt Wu looked at him and shook her head slightly.
In desperation, Wen Mingqian could only follow Uncle Wen and leave.
When Uncle Wen and the others walked away, the old lady suddenly raised her eyes and asked sharply: "Wu's!" Are you wrong? ”
Aunt Wu hurriedly knelt down, her forehead pressed to the ground, and said tremblingly: "The concubine knows her mistake!" ”
"Knowingly, someone is coming! Palm! The old lady was really angry in her heart, and she dared to use Uncle Wen to suppress her.
Mama Du and Mama Sun, who were standing beside the old lady, walked up one after the other.
Aunt Wu was already prepared in her heart, and it was very cost-effective to be beaten and drag Wen Qinglan's marriage back.
Although Wen Qinglan knew, she still couldn't help it, rushed forward, and pushed Grandma Sun away.
"Fuck off! Who would dare to hit my aunt! ”
Wen Qingzhu was shocked, this Wen Qinglan was so bold that she dared to be presumptuous in Fushoutang.
Sure enough, the old lady's eyebrows sank, and she pointed at Wen Qinglan and said, "Even she will fight me together!" ”
Mama Sun immediately stepped forward and pressed Wen Qinglan and made her unable to move.
Bang Bang Bang!
The loud slap was loud in Fushoutang, and it was up and down.
Aunt Wu can still hold back, Wen Qinglan is young after all, and she cried out without two hits.
These two grandmothers are the old lady's right-hand men, and their hands are not small.
Dozens of slaps fell, and blood oozed from the faces of both people.
Wen Qinglan was even more miserable, tears and blood flowed down her cheeks, wetting the embroidered neckline.
Her voice became more and more hoarse, and Aunt Wu struggled desperately for mercy.
"Please, old lady, let Qinglan go! She's young and ignorant, and she's still a child! ”
The old lady has never felt much about her aunt and concubine.
Aunt Wu dared to calculate her, and Wen Qinglan dared to disobey her, so she obediently suffered this beating.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them fixedly, and realized that something didn't seem right.
How could Aunt Wu be so stupid?
Thinking like this, she raised her eyes to look at the Yang mother and daughter in the main seat, they were extremely proud and happy.
Looking at this scene, Wen Qingzhu felt more and more that something was wrong.
She turned her head to look at Aunt Yue, and the two of them met their eyes.
In a short moment, Wen Qingzhu understood.
Uncle Wen came here just now, presumably Wen Mingqian deceived him, and he would inevitably be punished when he returned to Zimingtang.
But if Aunt Wu and Wen Qinglan really go back with their injuries-
Help!
Wen Qingzhu's heart tightened, and she looked at the old lady, she still fell for Aunt Wu's plan.
Although the people in the fourth room are happy, the relationship between the old lady and Uncle Wen will only get worse and worse.
It can't go on like this!
Wen Qingzhu got up and said worriedly: "Grandmother! Please stop punishing your aunt and the fourth sister, what's wrong with your granddaughter is willing to share it for them. ”
Not to mention the old lady, even the Yang family and Wen Qingxin were extremely surprised.
This Wen Qingzhu and Aunt Wu's mother and daughter have never dealt with each other, why did she plead with Aunt Wu and them at this time?
There is a difference between the concubines and the concubines, and this is a three-room family affair.
The old lady raised her hand, and the two grandmothers immediately stopped.
"Seven girls, is this against your heart?" The old lady didn't believe she was sincere at all.
Wen Qingzhu frowned and sighed, and explained: "Grandmother, my aunt is an aunt after all, she gave birth to a son and a daughter to her father, there is no merit and no hard work, and the granddaughter does not look at the face of the aunt, but also the face of the fourth sister and Mingqian." ”
As soon as she said this, the old lady didn't understand.
She was actually calculated by an aunt!
The old lady closed her eyes, and the anger in her heart was even stronger, but her face did not show half of it.
"Ziyan, go and bring the near hemostatic and stasis ointment."
When Aunt Wu, who was leaning on the ground, heard this, she instantly grabbed the corner of her skirt, and the hatred in her heart poured out like a flood.
Soon, Ziyan came over with a plaster and gave it to Aunt Wu and Wen Qinglan according to the old lady's instructions.
Half an hour later, most of the blood on their faces had faded.
Although the slap print is obvious, there is no big problem with looking at it.
Aunt Wu knew that the plan had failed, hesitated again and again, and decided to take out her hole cards.
