67, it has nothing to do with my mother
Zhao's face turned pale, and he clutched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, "Mother, son...... Daughter-in-law...... Don't know what you're talking about. ”
The old lady looked at Zhao's sophistry coldly, picked up the deadbolt on the table and looked at it, as if it was as ordinary as saying, 'Have you eaten?'.
"You're not old enough for me, so why don't you have a good brain? The brain is a good thing, Ajing, and told the cook to send a plate of pig brains to the fourth room every day, and let the fourth daughter-in-law make up for it. ”
Luo's has been in the Xin family for so many years, and today he was a little stunned when he saw the old lady angry for the first time, and the first time he saw such a venomous old lady.
But she still listened to the old lady's orders.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down."
It is difficult for a Qing official to decide the family affairs case, although she is in charge of the middle of the house, the affairs of the clan, and she can interfere in many things, but in the end she can't force the cow to drink water.
For example, Xu's eccentricity, she can remind and warn, but in the end, Xu is her mother, and she is helpless in the end, so she can only hurt a little more.
As for the Zhao family, over the years, her patience with the Zhao family has been exhausted, and in the early years, she thought that it was a member of the Xin family, just like the old lady said, it is a crime to punish without teaching.
Therefore, she used to talk to her, but it turned out that it was all in vain, and people were still stubborn.
To this day, looking at my mother-in-law's posture, I don't know what she has done that is inhumanely destroyed.
How could Zhao not know that the old lady was mocking, and was reflected by the old lady with a gun and a stick, her face was flushed with anger, and she couldn't help it, and said in a trembling voice,
"Mother, what do you mean by that? The first time you came back, you treated me like this, I know that you and your sister-in-law are both noble births, and they look down on me on weekdays...... I ......"
The old lady understated,
"But if you say a few words, you'll lose face."
"Yes, I do look down on you."
Zhao, "???? ”
This all means that she has no brains, and she can't refute it yet? It was as if she was so ignorant.
Zhao only felt that the old lady was beating up, but she was a daughter-in-law, and the other party was a mother-in-law, she couldn't go away if she wanted to, so she could only wipe a handful of tears.
"Mother, I'll come to you to say goodbye, and you say that you want to settle accounts with your daughter-in-law, this is ...... The daughter-in-law really didn't know where to anger her mother. ”
The old lady smiled, took the deadbolt and knocked on the table,
"It seems that the pig brain that you are given in a room now can't make up for your brain, you say you don't know, then let's talk about it, you know."
Zhao's eyelids jumped, if the old lady was trained as soon as she looked at her, she was not afraid, but she was so headless and brainless, her intuition was not good, the sound of the door bolt 'dong dong' was like a drum, knocking on Zhao's heart one by one, she said hard,
"Mother please teach me."
The old lady raised her eyebrows, the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, she directly mocked,
"The first month you entered the door, you took the people waiting in the courtyard of the fourth child to open the knife, and the pensioners who were old, and the ones with flat heads and faces, were also sent away by you."
"It doesn't matter about these, the new official still has three fires when he takes office, it is normal for the new daughter-in-law to want to stand up, and it is normal for people to want to support their own people, no one says anything about you."
"Your sister-in-law rewarded those who were driven away because of this, and rearranged them on errands."
Zhao didn't expect that the old lady seemed to be absent from the mansion for decades, but she knew everything about the mansion.
"It's the daughter-in-law who is young and ignorant, and she has caused trouble to the sister-in-law."
The old lady was noncommittal, and continued, "But the person you replaced was unclean, and stole the calligraphy, paintings, and antiques in the old fourth room and sold them." ”
A hundred years of Xin family, accumulated from generation to generation, from literature and martial arts, the family background is rich, although the fourth master is a concubine, he can grow up like several other brothers since he was a child, and he has not suffered any mistreatment.
The things in his house are not said to be priceless, but they are also the best ones, but they were stolen out and sold cheaply by the dowry brought by the Zhao family, but I didn't expect that the pawnshop was the property of Xin Yuanchun's friend's family, and the shopkeeper naturally had to give good things to the owner, so the east window incident happened.
Zhao's face turned red, and he bit the tip of his tongue and said, "This is because the daughter-in-law is not good, and I don't know anyone, but those lowly slaves with black hearts have long been sold." ”
Seeing that the old lady was counting the old things of the Zhao family, Luo couldn't help but wonder if he had done anything wrong.
She's quite capable, so she shouldn't be checked for homework, right?
The old lady sneered, "Yes, you were pregnant at that time, and your sister-in-law didn't want to stimulate you, so she cooperated with you to fool the past, in fact, your old bottom was exposed!" ”
Zhao's feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, he looked at Luo's on the side in disbelief, saw Luo's expressionless face, and then looked at the old lady above, under the old lady's sarcastic gaze, she swallowed her saliva, and said without giving up,
"Mother, sister-in-law...... It's all those people who want to protect themselves...... So ......"
The old lady pressed her hand, and said indifferently,
"What the hell is going on, God knows what you know, I know everyone knows, your sister-in-law was thinking about killing chickens and monkeys at the time, and punished those people, which room can you always be more restrained.
I hate that all of your sister-in-law's kindness has been eaten by dogs. Tell me what you've been doing all these years? ”
The old lady suddenly became stern,
"Take that silver to put the seal money, and even want to take the name of the old thing to sell the official, the court clearly stipulates that it is not allowed to put the seal money, and it is not allowed to buy and sell officials, once it is known, the entire Xin family will follow you to eat and hang."
The Zhao clan knelt on the ground with two trembling strands, "Mother, mother, the daughter-in-law has never done this since then, and the daughter-in-law really knows that it is wrong." ”
Xin Yi crawled on the edge of the bed, happy like a little mouse stealing rice to eat, and her favorite and happiest thing was to watch the person who was beaten up.
It seems that next time you have to pick a harder wood to make the door bolt, it is too useful.
She smashed it, smashed it, but her mouth was too light, but unfortunately the fifth brother was not there, otherwise there would be melon seeds to knock.
Xin Yan rolled his eyes on the side, moved the chair to a place two steps away from the bed, took out a preserved fruit from his sleeve, and handed it to his sister in a place where no one was.
Hehe, although he is not as good as Brother Xiao is an outsider, but the favor that should be fought for still has to be fought for.
There are not many preserved fruits, but one grain is still fine.
He didn't disobey the doctor's will, but his sister was really hungry.
Didn't the doctor say that you can eat a little bit if you are really hungry, and now that my sister has eaten a little bit, she can't eat what others handed over to compete for favor!
The old lady ignored Zhao, and knocked on the door bolt in her hand, "That's because your husband started to take care of the housework, and your dowry is not only a little thicker, right?" ”
"Do you think all that silver was blown by the wind? No, it was the family that deliberately asked your husband to give it to you in order to stabilize you, a fool! ”
"How did you get married in the first place, don't you have any points in your heart?"
Xin Yi was surprised on the side, hey, her grandmother showed her the genealogy of the wealthy family in the capital, but she didn't tell her about the Xin family.
She really hadn't heard of how the fourth aunt got married, didn't she look the same as her uncle and aunt? Or is it like her parents, Wang Ba saw the mung beans and looked at each other, so the central people came to ask for relatives?
Zhao was shaky, his face changed from white to blue to red, and he even forgot to cry.
The hundred-year-old Xin family, even if it is a concubine, although it is said that it is impossible to marry a first-class girl, there are many beautiful ladies who are in the right household.
Why should she marry a daughter-in-law like her, whose thirty dowries are still half empty?
Isn't it because decades ago, Father Zhao had the grace to save the great-ancestor of the Xin family? At the beginning, the great-ancestor left a token to say that Zhao's father would follow in the future, and he would not dare to disobey.
Fifteen years later, the Zhao family came to the door with tokens to ask for Chengruo.
The promise made by his family is fulfilled even when he kneels.
At that time, the third master and the fourth master did not say kiss, but the third master was the son of the Xin family and the grandson of the Zheng family, how dare Xin Wangting use it to repay his kindness?
I can only let the fourth son marry the daughter of my grandfather's benefactor.
Xin Yan once again played a trick to compete for favor on the side, he moved his body, turned sideways, and moved his lips.
Xin Yi's eyes widened, what?
The great-grandfather asked the descendants to repay the favor and marry the benefactor's daughter, and when it came to the grandson, her father Xin Jichun, he also wanted to repay the favor and take the benefactor's son in to raise him.
Sure enough, this style of repaying kindness is really in the same vein, passed down from generation to generation, and I hope that Little Brother Xin will not harm his children and grandchildren in the future.
That's because the father doesn't have an eldest son, otherwise wouldn't he marry Ming Yushan, the troublemaker?
Xin Yi couldn't help but feel glad for Xin Zhu, as a woman, sometimes it is also beneficial.
The old lady smiled lightly and said slowly,
"The fourth child was not born to me, but in the end he nominally occupies the reputation of a mother-in-law, when I knew these things, I didn't agree with you to enter the door, but the old thing must obey his father's will and inherit this marriage, okay, then I can't care about it."
"Later, when you made so many troubles, I suggested that Ah Jing either divorce you or let you go to the ancestral hall to recuperate, no one listened to me, saying that I wanted to save some face for your family."
"Later, your father personally came to the door, talked with the old thing for a night, and the next day, he took you back to your mother's house to serve the sick, and it was half a year."
"You won't forget this, will you?"
Where Zhao knelt, it was as if there were 10,000 ants crawling on his body, and it was uncomfortable everywhere.
Yes, she did go back to her parents' house, and she was beaten on the board, and she lay in bed for three months to recuperate, if it wasn't for her mother's protection, she would have died!
In this way, he raised it at home for half a year before returning to the Xin family.
"After coming back, I heard your sister-in-law say that you have been very well-behaved for a while, and I think no one is looking forward to you and the fourth husband and wife being reconciled more than your sister-in-law. But after all, she was daydreaming. ”
"Later, when you came out, you didn't dare to go to the big room, so you went to the third room to make trouble! Looking at Xu's soft temperament and confused brain, you talk about things and things, instigating this and instigating that, like a clown, jumping up and down. ”
The old lady snorted heavily, and put the door bolt on the table with a bang, "In the end, the family is soft-hearted and cares about reputation, so you have nothing to fear." ”
"You think that your family has a great favor to the Xin family anyway, so even if it is, it can't be good, right?"
Zhao seemed to be in his mind, and lowered his head uncomfortably.
This is how her dead pig is not afraid of boiling water comes about calmly, anyway, her marriage is calculated, the door is not relative, and everything is trial and error.
Over the years, she always thought that the Xin family was forced to marry her, so she always thought of ways to toss him, trying to make her unbearable and separate, so that the Xin family would not have to bear the reputation of ingratitude.
She scolded the Xin family more than once, and made a watch, and set up an archway!
She kept tossing, anyway, the big deal was to copy scriptures and ground, and she really dared to divorce her?
The old lady didn't care what Zhao was thinking, she just sneered lightly and said,
"It's not your fault that you were born into a small family, but it's your fault that you have been married into the Xin family for so many years, and your brain can't turn around."
Looking at the faded Zhao family, the old lady said slowly,
"There is a limit to human patience, no one can endure it for a lifetime, and there are hundreds of silent ways for a family to die alone."
"If the Xin family really wants to do it, what can the Zhao family do? The Zhao family can make waves by relying on the officials you donated? The Xin family can't pinch it like an ant! ”
"You say, will the Zhao family stand up for you?"
Luo Shi listened to it on the side, if it weren't for everyone's eyes, she would have wanted to applaud the old lady, it was because Zhao had no fear, so she constantly dared to go wild, but the elders were there, and she couldn't overstep her bounds, so as not to hurt her feelings.
The father-in-law is obviously a reasonable person, but he lost his neatness in the Zhao family, and the Luo family was once again curious about what the Zhao family had done to make the mother-in-law, who had not set foot in the mansion for decades and did not care about the affairs of the Xin family, sit here and settle accounts with her.
Zhao's body swayed, she was really frightened, but she was still unconvinced, and choked up,
"Mother, what did my daughter-in-law do, let my mother treat me like this, even if I played right and wrong, and did such and such a mistake, but I didn't change it? People say that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great! ”
The old lady let out a 'ha' sound, looked at Zhao indifferently with a cold face, and Zhao shrank at her knife-like gaze.
After a long time, the old lady smiled slightly,
"Yes, you've changed, why do I want to do this to you?"
"Am I old and confused? Hungry? Looking for something to do? ”
A few sarcastic words in a row confused Zhao, but Zhao was even more afraid, as if he had been stripped of his clothes and thrown under the sun today.
She was furious and didn't care about it, "No, don't you want to divorce me, you old pious woman, why don't you die in another courtyard!" You don't care what I do! It's not enough for you to kill your husband's mother back then, do you still want to kill me as your husband's wife? ”
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Luo Shi shouted, "Zhao Chunhua, you dare!" ”
Along with Luo's shouting, there was also Mama Qin's slap, which was thrown on Zhao's face with a 'snap', and her head was crooked, and her eyes were golden.
"Fourth wife, this slap is to let you talk well, if you don't do it, why do you want to be a dog?"
Mama Qin raised her hand, her face was expressionless, and she said rigidly.
Zhao slowed down for a while before he came back to his senses, and as soon as he came back to his senses, he howled, "Okay, you bully people, I will go to the clan to sue you, but if the clan doesn't accept it, I will go to the government to sue you, this is the century-old Xin family, and I will try my daughter-in-law like this." ”
Xin Yi bit the preserved fruit on the side, watching the Zhao family rolling on the ground, and sighed in his heart, it is really a century-old family, and he married such a daughter-in-law and entered the door.
Oops, forgive her for not being kind, this is even better than the script, more bloody, and more exciting!
However, if Zhao wants to report to the official, he can't wait to come to his grandmother.
Hey, there was too little preserved fruit, and it was gone before it tasted good, she arched her body like a caterpillar, and pulled the hem of Xin Yan's clothes, thinking that he would give him another preserved fruit.
How did the younger brother learn the same as the fifth brother, only a little to hang others.
Xin Yan copied her hands, no matter how Xin Yi pulled her, he ignored her, and looked intently at the howl of the Zhao family on the ground.
The old lady propped up the table with her hands, refused Mama Qin's support, stood up, took her hands, walked in front of Zhao, and said condescendingly,
"Originally, I lived alone in another courtyard all the year round, how is the Xin family, what does it matter to me? You jump up and down, pick three or four, all these years, have I ever said a word about you? ”
"Don't say that you are just a concubine and daughter-in-law, that is, the eldest of the three of them, have you ever seen me put out my mother-in-law's money?"
Not only Luo's, but even Xu's, who had been silent, also nodded, from the moment they entered the door, her mother-in-law never said that she was not, nor did she let them wait once.
Other people's daughters-in-law have to wait for their mother-in-law to eat first, and only then can they take a few bites of leftovers. Even the water is cold, and you will choke on the pastries.
Which of the daughters-in-law of the Xin family's long house is not eating hot dishes and hot meals with her children and husbands, and they are happy.
"It's okay if you're just jumping up and down in the house, but you shouldn't have been, you dare to get to the micro head!"
Luo's face was abrupt, sure enough, for Weiwei, the mother-in-law can set foot in the mansion, that Weiwei is her heart, the treasure in the palm, the fourth brother and sister dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, isn't that looking for death?
Xu's face froze, and the fourth brother and sister calculated slightly? How did she not know?
Zhao looked up at the old lady in disbelief, she was so secretive, no one would find out, maybe the mother-in-law was just cheating her, gritted her teeth, and said,
"What kind of trick is Weiwei, who doesn't know that the Xin family is holding Weiwei in the palm of his hand up and down! Who would dare to play tricks on her? ”
The old lady smiled lightly,
"Yes, who dares to play tricks on her, you think I came back today to settle these old adult accounts with you? Zhao Chunhua, you're not worthy! ”
"We've just talked about what you know, and now we're talking about what you don't know."
She slowly bent down, glanced at Zhao, immediately straightened her waist, and said, "In this world, as long as people have done something, there are traces to follow, and evidence can be found in the heavens and the earth." ”
She lowered her head and walked a few steps, then looked at Xin Yan and said,
"Ayan, come on!"
Xin Yan straightened his robe, stood up, his fat face sank, and said slowly,
"The seventh sister had stomach troubles for two days in a row, and the doctor couldn't find out the reason, so she thought it was a cold."
"If the first day can be explained by this reason, what about the second day?"
His little feet paced step by step, and his voice was soft, which still made Zhao's heart and liver tremble.
Xin Yi had already changed from crawling to sitting cross-legged, as if he was going to listen to something.
"That fool, I didn't let me know on the first day, if it weren't for Jinchun, I wouldn't have known that she had a stomach."
He said loudly, "Seven days, wait a minute, take out a silver ingot from my private room and give it to Jinchun." ”
The voice of the Seven Days came in, "Yes." ”
Xin Yi wanted to pat his leg, little brother, you are crooked, aren't you talking about the Zhao family? What are you looking for?
"After I went to the academy, I happened to meet Brother Xiao, oh, it's Xiao Wulang, I asked him to follow me to analyze, and there is no problem in all places."
"It's as if my sister's belly is falling from the sky."
When Zhao heard this, he blurted out, "Maybe God wants to punish her?" ”
People like ghosts will be accepted by God.
"We were only in the academy at the time, so naturally we could only check everything in the academy, and everything was brought by everyone, so it didn't make sense that it was okay for others to eat it, but there was a problem with my sister eating it."
"The water is poured from a pot, the tea cup is random, and the tea girl is the same. So what's the problem? ”
Zhao snorted coldly in his heart, with some smugness, it was strange that he could find it.
Xin Yan wrinkled his little face and said distressedly, "The tea cup and the kettle are all dead things, but the tea girl is alive, and people can control those living beasts because he has brains." ”
"Of course, the tea girl also has a brain, but this brain doesn't need to be in a normal place!"
"No matter how random it is, but if she wants to serve a fixed cup of tea to a specific person, there is still a way, isn't it?"
Xin Yan squatted in front of Zhao and asked him.
Zhao was taken aback by him, didn't dare to look at his burning gaze, and turned his head, "I don't know." ”
Xin Yan smiled and got up, "Yes, the fourth aunt hasn't eaten pig brains yet, so naturally she doesn't know." ”
"You...... You ......" Zhao was so angry that one or two dared to scold her, she had never seen such a bully.
Anyway, she didn't buy that girl, and she didn't let people give her things, so it had nothing to do with her.
Xin Yan looked at her calmly,
"Fourth aunt, do you want to say that you haven't seen that maid, and you haven't told her to do anything?"
Zhao Shi looked at him confidently.
"What about home? What about the cook in the fourth room? Xin Yan asked her slowly.
"Seventh Sister had a stomach trouble on the first day, did she eat that bowl of perfect tonic soup?"
"That bowl of soup was specially asked for by the grandmother next to you who went to the kitchen, saying that you have been weak recently, so you have to make up for it.
Before leaving, he kindly told the cook that the seventh girl in the fourth room was tired from going to the academy recently, and asked him to suggest that the cook in the fourth room also make this soup for the seventh sister. ”
Zhao Shi looked away, forced himself to calm down, and said loudly, "As an aunt, is it wrong to care about your niece?" ”
Xin Yi smiled lightly again, and the laughing Zhao family was creepy, "Yes, it's right that you care, but you made a mistake in making people do things on the dishes and chopsticks in the fourth room." ”
"The family is such a trouble, with a set of rules." Xin Yan muttered with some disgust, raised his eyes and shot directly at Zhao,
"You know that everyone's dishes and chopsticks are not mixed together, but each person has his own utensils, and of course the ones in the big bowl are not used for their hands and feet."
"But the small bowls are all used by yourself, and the color of my sister's bowl is just a little dark, so it just covers your hands and feet."
"That's why I eat with my sister, she's fine, I'm fine."
How could Zhao admit it himself, and defended himself, "I don't know what you said." ”
Xin Yan nodded, "Okay, then I'll let you know, and save those pig brains, otherwise you will eat it for nothing." ”
He cried out, "Seven days." ”
The curtain outside was lifted, and I saw someone coming in outside, not only one person, the kitchen cook, the black-clothed guard Xiao Yi who pushed him, and naturally his master Xiao Yuanyou.
There was another person coming in the back, and it was suddenly what the Zhao family had just said, the Xin Wangting who had gone down but had not returned home.
After he came in, his eyes fixed on the old lady and quickly looked away.
What came out from behind Xin Wangting was the daughter of the Zhao family, Xin Zhi, who was in the same school as Xin Yi, and after she came in, she knelt directly in front of the old lady.
"Grandmother, my mother is really wronged, and the seventh sister's stomach trouble really has nothing to do with my mother."
