Chapter 375: Reckoning
Although Cao Hao was impatient to see Zhao Jia's family, Zhao Jia's family wanted to argue with him.
When the peony courtyard went to the room, after Zhao Jia's daughter-in-law who went out to inquire replied, he immediately sat up from the kang and asked, "What?" Song'er came out of Wutong Garden and went to kneel in the ancestral hall? Kneeling all night, not even eating, this ...... "She was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she almost carried her headlong to the ground.
Seeing it on the side, Lu Ju hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Madam, don't worry about it first, let's talk about it after you ask carefully." ”
It turned out that when I got up early this morning, I received a letter from the Sun family, saying that Cao Ying was going to visit her husband Sun Jue in the afternoon. Zhao Jia's family sent his daughter-in-law to Huaiyuan to tell Cao Song, but he didn't expect to know such a thing.
Cao Song came out of Wutong Garden yesterday and did not return to Huaiyuan, but went to the ancestral hall to kneel to his ancestors.
Zhao Jiashi stroked his chest, pointed at the daughter-in-law and said, "You went to the ancestral hall, but Cao Song is over there?" ”
The daughter-in-law replied, "If the slave and maid want to pass on the word of the wife, they will go over there." The second master knelt, and the slave maid couldn't see it really, but just looked at the clothes on her body that were really thin. The third master and the fourth master didn't know how to know the letter, so they all went over to persuade them. The second master just kept silent, saying that he deserved it, let the third master and the fourth master study, don't be lazy. ”
If there is no fire on the side of the ancestral hall, where is the place to treat people? Zhao Jiashi only felt distressed, bit his lip and said, "What? The third master and the fourth master went, what about the uncle, didn't show up? ”
The daughter-in-law replied: "The slave didn't see the uncle, but I heard that the third master and the fourth master also said that they were looking for the uncle, but the uncle seems to have gone to the yamen early!" ”
Zhao Jia's family was furious, and he felt that his brain hurt, okay, his brother was about to freeze to death, but he went to the yamen leisurely.
She helped the kang to come down, called Lu Ju to change her clothes, gritted her teeth and said: "It's really a good brother, a good sister-in-law, I'm going to ask, I'm not dead yet, where is it his turn to practice family law?" ”
Lu Ju and the daughter-in-law both felt that it was inappropriate, and when they saw Zhao Jia's angry appearance, they didn't dare to dissuade them.
Zhao Jiashi only felt a splitting headache, but his feet were fast, holding the hands of his daughter-in-law and Lu Ju, and hurried to Wutong Garden.
When Wutong Garden went to the room, Chu Yu invited Amethyst over and expressed his doubts. Could she be really wrong? If she knew that she was such a ruthless person, would she be tired of her?
In the half year since the second room entered Beijing, there have been some unpleasant words. Although Amethyst doesn't go to her heart, she doesn't want Chu Yu and Cao Hao to be difficult, except for going to Wutong Garden, she rarely walks around the Kwai Courtyard. Therefore, she only learned about yesterday's events until later.
Seeing Chu Yu so uneasy, Amethyst glanced at her stomach, thought about it, and said, "Grandma thinks too much, it's not good, it's easy to hurt your body." There is one thing, I was afraid that my grandmother would worry about it, so the slave maid endured it and didn't say anything......" Speaking of this, she hesitated.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Chu Yu was quite surprised, in the past few years, although she has entrusted Amethyst to housework, Amethyst rarely asks her opinion when she is self-sufficient.
Amethyst said: "Since the disappearance of the young master of the Li family, the number of long-term entourages around the uncle has also increased from four to eight. Don't say it when you follow it, but those who follow it at that time have a law. When he was in the capital, it was Uncle Wei who chose seven capable long-term guards. ”
Although Amethyst only stated one fact, Chu Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the meaning of the words, and said, "So...... So...... It's so dangerous out there......"
Amethyst sighed and said, "Grandma, it's not dangerous outside, the slave doesn't say it, if you don't talk about it, it's an errand in the uncle's yamen, and it's not easy to think about." The uncle is young, and there are many officials in the capital, and he doesn't know how to work hard. Grandma has never seen the appearance of the uncle when he was a child, and he is the most lazy, but in the past few years, he has been working hard, and it is distressing to watch. The errand outside is already tired, if you go back to the house, you have to worry about housework, isn't the uncle very pitiful? ”
Speaking of this, she paused and said to Chu Yu: "Grandma is just to let the uncle worry, what's wrong?" In the final analysis, it can only be said that Jade Spider is confused, even if she changes someone else's home, she can't tolerate this. ”
Chu Yu was stunned, his eyes were already red, and he said in a low voice: "It's all my bad that makes the uncle worry about these things." ”
Amethyst originally wanted to say a few words, and she didn't have to indulge too much with the words of the second wife, but because of her identity, it was like sowing discord in that way. Therefore, she persuaded: "Grandma doesn't have to be like this, grandma is only how old, since she got married, and his wife is not in Beijing, this family will have to study for two years to get started." Now, it's already great! ”
Chu Yu nodded, remembering that someone from the Sun family came to deliver a letter in the morning, and said: "The two uncles are coming back late, and the eldest aunt and grandma and the Sun family's aunt are coming over in the next morning, so they have to send a letter to the uncle in the yamen." ”
Amethyst should go down and want to go out to arrange for the little maid to deliver the letter, but he heard the sound of footsteps in the yard.
Chu Yu and Amethyst glanced at each other, not knowing who was so frizzy. I saw Xiyun come in with a curtain, and said, "Gege, it's the second wife who is here!" ”
Chu Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, fortunately, the forehead was not there, the second wife was really a little too much, what is the reason for rampage to the nephew's yard like this?
When Zhao Jiashi arrived at the porch, he didn't wait for anyone to pass on the word, and he didn't wait for Chu Yu to come out to greet him, so he directly picked up the curtain and rushed into the inner room.
Chu Yu just came out of the room, and she was going to give Zhao Jia's gift, but when she saw that her nose was not a nose and her face was not a face, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart. What do you mean, could it be that when Wutong Garden is Cao Song's Huai Courtyard, it will also stage a meat?
Chu Yu was willing to put down his body and should accept Zhaojia's family, but he didn't want Zhaojia's family to have friction with Cao Hao, which made it difficult for Cao Hao. People's hearts should be flesh and blood, why did I not see the second wife getting close to me for more than half a year, but her attitude became more and more domineering?
Thinking of what Amethyst had just said that it was not easy for Cao Hao to be outside, Chu Yu also complained a little about Zhaojia's family in his heart.
Zhao Jiashi saw that she was not invited and polite, and she became more and more annoyed, and raised her chin and said, "What about Brother Hao, call him out to see me?" I'm going to ask whose rule this is, ah, why is it my son's turn to practice the family law? ”
Chu Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the resentment on Zhao Jia's face.
Seeing that Chu Yu was silent, Zhao Jiashi became more and more annoyed, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Cao Hao, Cao Hao, you come out for me!" ”
Chu Yu's face slowly turned cold, looked at Zhao Jia's family, and said, "Second wife, the uncle Yamen has gone on an errand!" Why, what is the great mistake of our lord that makes the second wife come to the door like this to ask for the crime? ”
Zhao Jiashi pursed his lips and said, "You are his daughter-in-law, what did he do, and you still don't save it?" My Song'er knelt in the ancestral hall all night, and she was going to freeze to death and starve to death. He is the elder brother, and he is like this to his younger brother, and he can go on an errand with joy! ”
Because the maids in Wutong Yuan are not people who like to gossip, Chu Yu is still the first time to hear about Cao Song's kneeling in the ancestral hall. However, she couldn't take care of it, she just felt wronged for herself and her husband.
It seems that this respect is also wrong, and this friendship is also wrong.
She stood at the door, looked at Zhao Jia's and said, "Oh? Kneeling in the ancestral hall, did the second wife hear it, or did she see it, and said that it was our lord's punishment? How could the second wife ask for the sin so justifiably? ”
Zhao Jia's family was speechless when he was asked, so he was angry and came here directly, and didn't think about going to the ancestral hall first. But where is she willing to admit her mistakes and submit to the soft, and muttered: "If it wasn't for his brother's permission, Song'er himself would have gone to kneel to the ancestors?" ”
Chu Yu felt tired of standing, turned around and entered the room, and said, "Why did the second master go to kneel to the ancestors, others don't know, but the second wife should know." Since the second wife is here, then please come in, and the nephew and daughter-in-law have some housework to talk to the second wife. ”
Although Chu Yu said that he was born noble, he was always gentle and soft-spoken, how could he ever be so aggressive. Zhao Jiashi was puzzled, followed up the house, and said, "What housework?" Are you young and undecided? ”
Although Chu Yu was annoyed in his heart, he refused to lack the number of courtesies on his face, and just wanted to let Zhao Jia's sit on the kang, but Zhao Jia's had already sat by himself.
Chu Yu asked Xiyun to pour tea and asked lightly: "It's been more than half a year since the second wife entered Beijing, but she is still used to living?" ”
Zhao Jiashi was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, his expression stiffened, and he said, "Why do you still mention this, what is not used to it, the left and right are at home, not outside?" ”
Chu Yu lowered his head and said, "Yes, is it outside, but now although it is at home, there are some things that need to be mentioned to the second wife!" ”
Zhao Jia's family saw that Chu Yu was not treating her as usual today, and wondered if it was the two aunts who offered to her. She couldn't help but feel a little weak, speaking of which, now the expenses are all in the public middle school, and Cao Song's money should also be returned to the public middle school, but let her put it away. Even Lu rice, he didn't ask anyone to transport it back to the house, and directly looked for a shop to exchange it for money and received it. There is also the Zhuangzi that Cao Hao bought for her, and she came to hand over the interest in the wax moon, and there were also several hundred taels of silver.
Because the account book was backed up in Wutong Garden, Chu Yu called for joy and took it.
Those who returned to the public this year are Cao Hao's several portions of Lu, Heshuo forehead, third-class men, Taifu Siqing, and third-class guards, totaling nearly nine hundred taels, and nine hundred hue rice. Although Cao Yin also has a fortune, but because he is a foreign official, he is not withdrawn in Beijing, so he is not included in the public account here.
Chu Yu sent the account book to Zhao Jia's eyes: "Since the second wife entered Beijing at the end of May, to the present half a year, the monthly money, two seasons of clothes, food and drink, a total of more than 800 taels. ”
Zhao Jiashi didn't know her intentions, thinking that Chu Yu was worried about the Zhuangzi she put away, and said curtly: "Aren't these children young, if you don't rely on your brother, which one else can you rely on?" Left and right, you have the income of Zhuangzi, and you are not bad for these money. Didn't you say that you should raise outsiders and not your own brothers? ”
Chu Yu said: "Second wife, the uncle is not a stingy person, and Chu Yu will not care about this." It's just that the second wife has to remember a reason, it is right to support her parents in this world, but she didn't say that she would support her aunt and younger brother. I don't know what the uncle is hindering the eyes of the second wife, so that the second wife doesn't have a good face when she mentions the uncle. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and since the second wife is like this, it is not good for us to keep moving forward as younger generations. Let's go to the Jiangnan lord's side, let the lord call the shots, and see how the two of us can live together in this house. Although there is no separation, there are no rules and etiquette to say that the nephew has to cook in the same pot with his aunt and brother! ”
Chu Yu's words were reasonable, and when he heard Zhao Jia's face was unpredictable, he drooped his eyelids and said: "These words, Brother Hao made you say them, why, dislike us for eating idle meals, this is not tolerated?" ”
Chu Yu listened to her words of reversing black and white, but she didn't bother to distinguish with her, raised her head and said: "The second wife has been in Beijing for half a year, and I think I've heard what outsiders say about uncle, right?" Uncle is good at everything, but he is a little 'afraid of guilt'! ”
Zhao Jiashi snorted and said, "A man's family, being said like this, I am ashamed of him!" ”
"Even if the second wife has heard this, Chu Yu doesn't need to pretend to be virtuous in front of the second wife, even if he is so respectful, he can't exchange it for a good point, so he can only 'public is public, private is private'." Chu Yu said softly.
Zhao Jiashi was annoyed and angry, stood up, pointed at Chu Yu and said, "Do you talk to your elders like this?" You are still a character from the palace, and you don't even know how to be inferior to the elders and young? I'm going to ask someone to find Brother Hao'er, but I'm going to ask him in front of him, why do you let my daughter-in-law do this to me? ”
As soon as Zhao Jia's voice fell, he heard someone say: "Don't bother, I'm back!" ”
It turned out that Cao Hao had just come back, but because he heard the movement inside, he didn't enter the house, and stood directly outside, but he listened to it rightly.
Although I don't know why Chu Yu is like a little tiger today, Cao Hao has some right thoughts when he listens. In the past six months, the two of them have treated Zhaojia's as if they were Li's respectful, which seems to be wrong, which makes Zhaojia's temper grow.
Since there are Cao Yin and his wife in the long room, the two of them have no right to call the shots, and they have to look at a few small faces, and it is not good to be too stiff with Zhaojia's family, so they can only think of another way.
Since Zhao Jia's family loves money, he can control her on this to make her stop.
