Chapter 115: Confrontation
When Dong Lujue went to her mother's room to say goodbye, she saw her mother's ugly face and leaned listlessly on the bed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She called her mother: "Don't worry too much about the shop in the house these days, let the big housekeeper tell me directly, it's not too small for the son, and you can do something for the house." I don't know what my mother thinks? ”
Zhao Yueniang heard that her daughter took the initiative to share her worries, and she was really a little powerless now, so she nodded and said, "Alas, it's also bad luck, and the business in the shop is getting worse and worse." It has never been like this before. If this continues, it will not be far before all the shops in Donglu Mansion are closed. ”
Dong Lujue saw that her mother was very weak when she wanted to get out of bed, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and Zhao Yueniang seemed to be helpless, "Now I'm getting old day by day......"
"Mother, you're not old, you're too tired. Everything in the house is on you alone, and you are all unfilial. ”
"What can I do? You're not too young. Isn't it time to think about getting married? ”
"Mother, you want to push me out quickly, don't worry about you and your father as a child."
"You are the eldest lady of Donglu Mansion, and you are the daughter-in-law of someone else's family after all, I expect you to support this family, can you count on it?"
"Then why can't you count on it? If the child doesn't marry, it's ......"
"Nonsense, you don't marry? What about being an old girl? Or you can hire a son-in-law to come to the door. ”
Dong Lujue didn't expect her mother to be so open, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is what you said, if I recruit a son-in-law for you to come to the door, don't regret it then." ”
"Why did you recruit a son-in-law to come to the door? Do you have a girl's family and take the initiative to recruit one yourself? It's nonsense. Do you have someone in your heart? It's the Wei King, right? Zhao Yueniang was suddenly interested, and she wished that her daughter was talking about King Wei.
Dong Lujue's face flushed, "Mother is talking nonsense, who is in her daughter's heart, why doesn't her daughter know ......"
"So what do you hang out all day long? Is it really a brother and sister who study their homework together? ”
"Mother, who am I messing up with? King Wei is also my senior brother, don't talk nonsense......"
Zhao Yueniang saw that there was unconcealed sweetness in her daughter's eyes, and knew that her daughter was really moved by King Wei.
"I just don't know what King Wei means? If you have affection and he is also interested, then I will ask Mr. Jia about it......"
Dong Lujue was ashamed and flustered when she heard that her mother was going to ask Master, and she hurriedly got up and said, "Mother, don't ask Mr. Jia, and finally scared my senior brother away......
Zhao Yueniang obviously thought her daughter's idea was too funny, "This man is unmarried, and the woman is unmarried, can't you ask?" Besides, your master is also a very knowledgeable person. You're afraid of scaring your brother. ”
After Dong Lujue left, Zhao Yueniang was also immersed in the joy of her daughter having a sweetheart. I asked Cui Ping to call the big butler. After a while, Du Zixin came.
Zhao Yueniang said: "The big housekeeper, you will explain all the things about the shop to the eldest lady in a while." See how much she can handle, and you can help her with ideas. ”
Du Zixin replied yes.
"Also, if you ask someone to go to the county government and invite Mr. Jia to come to the house, you will say that I have something to tell him."
"Auntie, Mr. Jia, they are no longer in the county office......"
"Oh? They are not in the county office, where did they go? ”
"Mr. Jia said a few days ago that I can find a place for this."
"Mr. Jia, they are not in the county office, but why not?"
"I've never heard of this before......
After Du Zixin left, Zhao Yueniang also wondered, why didn't King Wei live in the county office? I remembered Liang Yuxi's mention of Li Ju'er a few days ago.
She couldn't help but sigh, and she didn't know what to do with Li Ju'er. She knows that her weakness is aiding and abetting. But if Li Ju'er is punished with great fanfare, the face of Donglu Mansion will not know where to rest. This is also the reason why she has not dealt with Li Ju'er for a long time. Even, she tried her best to avoid this difficult problem.
Sometimes, she would go to the old man's room alone and talk to the sleeping old man for a while. Even at the moment when the old man woke up, knowing that the old man's eyes were full of stupidity, she didn't dare to mention Li Ju'er's matter again, for fear of shocking him.
She may not have seen Li Ju'er come to ask for peace for a long time, and after hearing Cui Ping, Li Ju'er could move, but she almost never stepped out of the bedroom again.
Zhao Yueniang also knew what she was waiting for. Waiting in peace like this actually gave Zhao Yueniang a lot of pressure invisibly. This made both of them feel that they were facing something that was difficult to decide.
This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Even if there is no good way, Zhao Yueniang feels that it is still necessary to call Li Ju'er, and the two of them say something in person.
She stood up and called Cui Ping and asked her to call Li Ju'er to the master's study. Then, I went to the study and waited.
After a while, Cui Ping spoke back first, and the second grandmother had already said that she would leave immediately.
Zhao Yueniang waited patiently in the study for a while, but Li Ju'er still didn't come. This was a bit unexpected for her, so she asked Cui Ping to urge again.
Zhao Yueniang had a hunch that Li Ju'er no longer seemed to be the obedient Li Ju'er in her eyes before. Liang Yuxi may be right, she not only had an affair with Niankong, but also stole the heirlooms of Donglu Mansion.
Finally waited for Li Ju'er, only to see that her injuries were almost healed, and there was an unpredictable smile on her face, which made Zhao Yueniang's heart sink.
Anyway, although Zhao Yueniang is a kind-hearted person, she has grown up in a big mansion since she was a child, and she has seen all the world conditions in the big mansion. And he has been in charge for many years, not only calming down, but also helming.
She glanced at her and asked Cui Ping to move an embroidery stool for Li Ju'er and sit under her. Li Ju'er paused for a moment, but sat down. And asked, "The eldest sister called me, I don't know why?" ”
Zhao Yueniang listened to her, her tone was steady, and she was casual, without any guilt. There was a fire rising in her heart, she endured it for the time being, and said, "Are you all right?" She didn't wait for Li Ju'er to answer, and continued: "I called you here today, not for anything else. I just want to hear you talk to me in person, about you and Niankong, and about the treasure box in the study. ”
Li Ju'er also expected these things, but at this time, her face changed greatly, so she said loudly: "Eldest sister, I have made this matter clear in front of you and Liang Yuxi." What else do you want me to say? ”
Zhao Yueniang didn't even lower her head when she saw her, but looked like she was wronged. said coldly: "You said yes, you have to agree to me, is it true that Donglu Mansion has no family law, and you can fool around casually?" ”
Li Ju'er didn't let it at all, "I don't agree with what the eldest sister said." The family law of Donglu Mansion is in charge of the master, when will it be the turn of the women's Taoist family to call the shots? ”
When Zhao Yueniang heard this, her words were also choked, and she looked at Li Ju'er's unfamiliar face, and her face turned white with a brush.
Li Ju'er didn't look at her at all, and said to herself: "I have been serving the master for so long, and when he woke up, he also said that he wanted me to take good care of this family with my eldest sister, but he never said that the two of us can be the masters of this family." Eldest sister, you say, what do you mean by this, master? ”
Zhao Yueniang obviously didn't expect Li Ju'er to come directly to shake her position, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, glared at Li Ju'er and said, "You have only been in Donglu Mansion for a few days, dare to talk to me like this?" ”
Li Ju'er was not stunned, and said in a fuss: "What's wrong with the eldest sister?" Am I not right? ”
