Without giving the people in the East Courtyard a chance to speak, Old Madam Qiao continued: "This is a matter of your courtyard, and it should have been arranged by your daughter-in-law. But Jing Shu's body has not been good, and even the middle feed has been handed over to the fourth room, and now the most important thing for Jing Shu is to take care of her body and take Qiao Qiao well. Qiao Qiao will be eleven years old at the beginning of the year, and it is time to take her around. ”

Qiao Xingbang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

And Mrs. Qiao didn't seem to see it, and said to herself: "Mother doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the two of you, you have also seen how my mother has treated Jing Shu over the years." Before, she injured her body because of a miscarriage, and she couldn't conceive, and her mother never asked you to take a concubine, just waiting for you to have a son-in-law or daughter-in-law, and later, you had Qiaoqiao, and my mother didn't urge you to make persistent efforts to have a son. Now, seeing that Qiao Qiao is also older, Jing Shu's body is still like this, sometimes good and sometimes bad, I also want to wait for Jing Shu to recuperate and give you a son-in-law, but Jing Shu's age is also older, and her body has not improved so far, I really want her to give birth, I don't worry. That's why I thought about it, I will give you an aunt, give birth to a son, hang it in Jing Shu's name, and be regarded as the sister-in-law of the East Courtyard, and inherit the East Courtyard in the future, so that Qiao Qiao can be taken care of. ”

Everyone in the room pouted their lips in amusement.

Old Madam Qiao stopped talking, waiting for Qiao Xingbang to make a statement.

Qiao Lixi glanced left and right, and asked in confusion: "Grandmother, what if my aunt gave birth to a daughter?" ”

Yes, the old lady only said that the concubine gave birth to a son in Gu Jingshu's name and was raised as a son-in-law, but what if she gave birth to a daughter?

Old Madam Qiao had a black face, endured it without having a seizure, and said with a rare question: "If you give birth to a daughter, it is a sister." ”

"Sister-in-law?" Qiao Yixi asked.

Old Madam Qiao didn't have much patience left, "Yes, sister-in-law." ”

Qiao Lixi also wanted to ask, if she had been a concubine, would she have to give birth until she gave birth to a son, but looking at the faces of Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu, she obediently stopped talking.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu express their opinions, and Mrs. Qiao's face was wrong.

Bi Cuiqiu and Gan Wan glanced at each other and looked at Xue Tao together.

Xue Tao was feeding Qiao Jinwen water.

She is the master of the North Courtyard, and the East Courtyard has nothing to do with her.

Gritting her teeth, Bi Cuiqiu said to Gu Jingshu: "Sister-in-law, my mother is also kind, you and your eldest brother have never had a son-in-law, and there is no heir in the East Courtyard, so this is not a problem." My mother understands you and your eldest brother, and has never mentioned this matter, but now that Qiaoqiao is almost eleven, and your body has not been well raised, you can't delay your eldest brother's heirs because of you. ”

"My younger brother and sister have the energy to worry about my heir here, so it is better to spend more time on taking care of the affairs of the South Courtyard. The second brother only has a concubine now, and he has no concubine. Qiao Xingbang looked bad.

In the backyard, the man does not interfere, but it does not mean that the people in the other rooms can be ridiculed wantonly, does he have a son, what does it matter to these people?

He thinks that his daughter is better than his son, look at Qiaoqiao, how caring!

"Big brother, what you said is too much!"

It's "excessive", not "serious", obviously, Second Master Qiao was angry.

"Cuiqiu is also kind-hearted, thinking that there is no successor here in the East Courtyard, so when my mother said this, we all supported it, but eldest brother, your words are too hurtful."

It was Mrs. Qiao who proposed, and they just supported them along the way, so Qiao Xingbang was angry, and it had nothing to do with them to find Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao Xingbang snorted coldly, "Thank you second brother for your kindness, the population here in the East Courtyard is simple, and there are not many things, the second brother has the leisure to worry about the affairs of the East Courtyard, so let's take care of the South Courtyard first." ”

Second Master Qiao has a wife and two concubines, but in addition to the daughter born to the wife, the only son is a concubine, the population is not large, but it is the most chaotic in several rooms, and the two concubines are not worry-free.

"Jing Shu, what do you say?"

This is directly asking Gu Jingshu to speak.

"Mother, this matter, the daughter-in-law listens to the master." Gu Jingshu looked calm, what should come will always come, not this time, there will be a next time.

"Mother, my son doesn't think about this."

Well?

Old Madam Qiao snorted heavily in a nasal voice.

"There are many people and many things, Jing Shu and Qiao Qiao's health is not good, my son doesn't want them to be disturbed by indifferent people, the East Courtyard has been quiet all these years, and my son is used to it. Besides, the matter of the heir, the son looks down on it, and there is no one in the East Courtyard, so Qiao Qiao is very good. “

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Qiao was not very angry, but the majesty of her tone was very strong, "Qiao Qiao is indeed very good, but she doesn't have a son, what is this like?" To put it mildly, after you are a hundred years old, it is difficult to ask Qiao Qiao to wear linen and filial piety and fall into the brazier. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Qiao Xingbang is also a tough temper.

Old Madam Qiao laughed angrily, "So I'm nosy? ”

"Mother, that's not what my son meant," Qiao Xingbang said patiently, "My son just doesn't want the East Courtyard to be too complicated." ”

"Accepting a concubine, why does it make the East Courtyard complicated? Your daughter-in-law is taking care of the East Courtyard, can't she manage the East Courtyard? You also know that your daughter-in-law is not in good health, and there are many considerate people helping her, what's wrong? Old Madam Qiao began to speak crookedly.

"Thank you for your mother's kindness, when Qiaoqiao's body is almost better, Jing Shu will take her to manage the East Courtyard. You also said before, Qiao Qiao will be eleven in the new year, and it is time to learn to be a housekeeper, and when the time comes, she can still follow Jing Shu to learn management and feed. ”

Qiao Xingbang's meaning is very clear - if you stuff people into my yard, I will go back to Qiao's house.

"You're threatening me?" Old Madam Qiao's voice was sharp.

"My son doesn't dare." Qiao Xingbang said respectfully.

"Don't dare? I think you dare! Old Madam Qiao said angrily, "The East Courtyard is Qiao's family's house, inheriting most of the Qiao family's property, is it possible, these will be distributed to outsiders in the future?" ”

"Qiao Qiao is my daughter, not an outsider," Qiao Xingbang said stubbornly, "Besides, who said that there is no son in the East Courtyard to inherit the inheritance, sooner or later, it is only a matter of time." ”

Old Madam Qiao was angry, "It's a matter of time, when is it, this year, next year, or ten years from now?" ”

"Mother......

"Master," Gu Jingshu persuaded Qiao Xingbang, "Mother is also kind." ”

What woman wants her man to sleep with another woman, even if the son born is recorded in her own name, her heart will be satisfied. But Gu Jingshu didn't want Qiao Xingbang to fall out with the old lady because of this incident. Once this kind of thing is brought up, with the old lady's character of not giving up until the goal is achieved, if they don't let go, I'm afraid that the East Courtyard will have no peaceful days.

"It's still Jing Shu sensible," Old Madam Qiao said in a weird manner, "Mother is measured, she won't stuff you with messy people, giving birth to a son is the right thing, and when you have a son, you can go to your mother and keep your son." ”

To put it lightly, there is no reason to convince everyone to go to the mother and keep the child?

Selling?

Don't leave a reputation as a jealous woman who can't tolerate people at that time.

"The big girl next to me, Lao Tzu Niang is the old man of the Qiao family, she has been in the Qiao family for ten years, and she is eighteen this year, which is the age of good birth and raising, so I will give her to you. Given by the elders, you can't say goodbye, let's open her face tonight. ”

It's how impatient.

As soon as Old Madam Qiao's voice fell, everyone in the room looked strange.

Qiao Yixi looked at the peony standing behind Old Madam Qiao, trembling with excitement, and pouted in her heart.

It's just a little concubine, so excited that she really thought that she would fly on the branch and become a phoenix. Look at the appearance of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, he must be a mean, jealous, and arrogant person with a heart and means.

The old witch is taking revenge on her.

Qiao Jinwen fell into the water, whether she did it or not, the old witch remembered it on her head, she was a person from the East Courtyard, and the old witch used her as a raft and directly did it to the East Courtyard, which was also direct enough.

"Peony."

"Yes, old lady." Being called suddenly, Peony regained her senses and knelt under Old Madam Qiao.

"Today, I will call the shots and give you to the uncle, you will follow the lady in the future, help the lady take care of the uncle, manage the east courtyard, and most importantly, give birth to a son as soon as possible."

"Slaves and maids remember the old lady's teachings." The face of the sharp-beaked monkey is full of the pride of a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

Qiao Yixi frowned.

The old witch is the aunt who is the main carryer, and she can't move easily.

"Grandmother......" Qiao Yixi stood up timidly.

Gu Jingshu raised her hand, but she was still half a beat slower and didn't hold Qiao Yixi.

She didn't dare to make a big move, for fear that the old lady would spread her anger on Qiao Lixi.

And Old Madam Qiao was in a good mood because she successfully stuffed people into the east courtyard, so her gaze at Qiao Yixi also eased, "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong?" ”

"Well, what about Peony's deed of sale?"

Old Madam Qiao frowned dissatisfiedly.

She deliberately didn't say anything about the deed of sale.

As long as Peony's deed of sale is still in her hands, then when Peony treats Gu Jingshu, no matter how angry Gu Jingshu is, she can't do any other punishment except beating and scolding, let alone kicking Peony out of the East Courtyard. Therefore, the peony is equivalent to the eyeliner she planted in the East Courtyard, or it was blatantly inserted.

Before I had time to enjoy the comfort in my heart, I was destroyed by this eye-catching dead girl.

"Jojo, what do you mean?" Old Madam Qiao pretended to be stupid.

A junior dares to argue with her, and he can't do anything about himself.

But she underestimated Qiao Lixi's combat effectiveness, not to mention how deeply she defended her titular parents, she said that she was a member of the East Courtyard, and she couldn't watch the old witch unscrupulously criticize the East Courtyard.

"Grandmother, Qiaoqiao is asking, what about the deed of sale of peony? Qiaoqiao is very grateful for her grandmother's love for her father, Peony has been with her grandmother for many years, and she was hand-adjusted and taught by her grandmother, and Qiaoqiao and her mother are very relieved to have such a lovely son by his father's side to take care of his father. The peony was given by her grandmother, and as long as she abides by her duty, she will live well in the East Courtyard, but the grandmother should have given the deed of sale of the peony to her mother. When Qiao Qiao followed the fourth aunt before, he saw that the fourth aunt transferred and taught the concubines in the yard, and they were also holding their deed of sale, Qiao Qiao still remembered that the fourth aunt said at that time that the concubine and the subordinate are the same, the only difference is that the concubine can be played with by the master, this is the honor given by the master, but once there is a mind that should not be had, what should be sold will be sold, and what should be killed will be killed. Anyway, the deed of sale is in hand, and their lives belong to the master. ”
