Chapter 274: Don't Think
Seeing Yan Chaoqing coming back, Wu Yi immediately greeted him, and sent Song Yijia to send the eldest lady to come over to preside over the feed, and the eldest lady invited Dou Zhao to come over to speak, but Dou Zhao ignored it, and was reprimanded by Song Yichun and told him.
Yan Chaoqing's face immediately sank.
He asked Wuyi, "What does Madame say?" ”
"Madame didn't sweep the corner of her eyes, the eldest lady." Wu Yi's eyebrows danced and said, "The eldest lady is losing her temper in the flower hall!" ”
Yan Chaoqing thought for a while and said, "Send a few people to follow Madame, if the eldest lady dares to be rude to Madame, you don't have to be polite to the eldest lady." ”
I think that at the beginning, when Song Yichun wanted to remove Song Mo's family tree, no one in the Song family stood up to say a word for Song Mo, such elders tend to be inflammatory, and it is useless to make friends, they will only make themselves feel bad at the moment of life and death.
Wu Yi happily went.
Although Yan Chaoqing knew that there were other sisters around Dou Zhao, he was sometimes not afraid of 10,000 in this matter, but he was afraid that Dou Zhao would suffer a loss, so he called Xia Lian to come over and discuss: "Do you think you want to send a few people to guard the second gate?" ”
Xia Lian felt bad: "Under the melon field and plums, it's better to avoid some suspicions." I don't think it's better to wait until tomorrow to go to the dart bureau and ask a few female dart masters to come back and be in charge of the night watch. ”
Yan Chaoqing felt that this idea was good, and instructed him: "Hurry up and get this matter done." ”
Xia Lian went to a familiar dart game.
The eldest lady who lost her temper in the flower hall saw that the housekeepers and mothers had hid out, but she lost her temper.
Only then did Dong dare to step forward to persuade his mother-in-law: "This British mansion will eventually be handed over to the third uncle, why should you be this wicked person?" ”
Song Mo ranked third in the Song family.
The eldest lady nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "You have this knowledge, and it is not in vain that I brought you here." ”
Dong was stunned.
The eldest lady looked around.
The mama she brought was shrewdly guarding the door.
Only then did the eldest lady whisper: "The British Mansion, in the final analysis, belongs to the British Prince." Your second uncle is in the prime of life, and he will be in the middle of his life. This British government is not yet the turn of the inkstone to be the master, and we people are dependent on the British government, and we can please the British government, and the British government will do whatever we want, we just don't want to be rich and rich. But if the British public is displeased, and the British public gives us a few blank eyes, we are afraid that our life will be difficult. Do we dare to offend the British duke? ”
Dong couldn't help but nod.
The eldest lady continued: "This time, your second uncle asked me to preside over the middle feed of the British Mansion. To put it bluntly, he just wants me to embarrass the Dou family. Their father and son are at odds, and they have reached the point of fighting each other. Since your second uncle has made this idea, how can you let me not agree? Otherwise, he would definitely suspect that we were on the side of the inkstone. "Speaking of which. She let out a long sigh and said abruptly, "It's just that the Yan Tang who was taught by Mrs. Jiang only recognized the Jiang family, and never took the people of the Song family to heart. Just like last time, your uncle's carriage crashed into a cake seller, but it was just a matter of the British government, and the officials of the government wanted to curry favor with the British government. But he reported the matter to Yantang by mistake, which could have been solved by Yantang with a word, but he lined up with outsiders and made your uncle pay twenty taels of silver......"
Dong couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Since twenty taels of silver can solve the problem. Why do you have to take the matter to the British government? let the British government inherit the love of those officials, and it also ended up with a reputation of bullying.
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are good at everything, just to save face.
I would rather pay fifty taels of silver to send the servants than to pay twenty taels of silver to the bread seller.
How did the eldest lady know what her daughter-in-law was thinking. Seeing that the daughter-in-law looked deferential, she was very satisfied. said: "There are some things that you juniors don't know. Although your second uncle likes to take care of his family, if you provoke him, he will be very ruthless. Our family can have today, it all depends on your second uncle, he has something to ask me, I can't refuse. But as you said, this British government will be handed over to Yantang as soon as possible, we are close to your second uncle, when your second uncle is alive, life is good, but what about when your second uncle is gone? What do you do? I can't just take care of myself and leave you alone, can I? ”
Dong's heart moved, and said, "What do you mean?" ”
The eldest lady beckoned to her daughter-in-law and motioned for her to come over with her ear.
"In this British mansion, except for Yizhitang, there are people from your second uncle everywhere. I jumped up and down like this, and I also did it for the Dou family to show - you go to the Dou family's time, make amends to her, and say that I am old and confused, and your second uncle just saw that there was no elder in the family, and asked me to come over to help take care of it, but I didn't know how to take care of the affairs of the British government, so let her not take it to heart. Then tell us how our family lives on your second uncle, whose words are more spiritual to our family than a holy decree...... In short, no matter how pitiful you are, you must make the Dou family moved, and feel that we have no choice. After that, I continue to lose my temper here, and you will try to please her wholeheartedly, even if she scolds me, you will echo a few words. You know, you're going to have to rely on her for a living. Finally, he solemnly asked Dong, "What do I mean, do you understand?" ”
"It's a red face, a white face." Dong said, "I."
I understand what my mother means. It's just that this curse ......."
"I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, you can't do what I teach you, you can't be wrong. My mother won't blame you for this. ”
Dong Shi listened and relaxed, and went to Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao is idle and bored, playing tricks.
She had a good impression of the Dong family, and when she heard that the Dong family wanted to see her, she asked Su Xin to invite her in.
The two concubines met the ceremony, sat down side by side on the big kang near the window, Dong saw the patterns scattered on the kang table at a glance, she had never been alone with Dou Zhao before, she was worried that there was no topic, she couldn't help but be happy when she saw this, picked up a pattern casually, and said with a smile: "Are my younger brothers and sisters drawing patterns?" I just got a few good looks a few days ago, do you want me to describe them to you? ”
Isn't it these little things that get along with each other?
Dou Zhao smiled and said "Okay", and asked Su Xin to take the paper over and draw patterns for Dong.
Dong said that his mother-in-law and eldest wife came: "...... She is this temper, in fact, there is no bad intention, brother and sister, you must not take it to heart......"
Dou Zhao listened with a smile and looked at her quietly. The clear gaze was not only clear, but also condescending with insight into the world, which made Dong extremely uncomfortable, and his tone of voice was not as smooth as before: "...... My mother-in-law can't help it......"
There's no way to look at yourself in front of those servants in the British government?
There was no way to send his daughter-in-law to show weakness, trying to curry favor with both sides?
She has seen a lot of this kind of face-to-face and behind-the-scenes.
It's a pity that Dong's family, she thought that they would become concubines who could talk about the weather together.
Dou Zhao drank tea leisurely, as Dong was a fly buzzing in his ears.
Dong soon discovered his awkward situation.
She awkwardly stopped the topic, thinking that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had already married the British father-in-law, and she didn't have to worry about anything when she was alive. When she was in charge of the house, she had to deal with Dou Zhao, not only that, but also her son and grandson, maybe they all had to be supported by Song Mo. She gritted her teeth, knelt in front of Dou Zhao, and said with shame on her face: "Brother and sister, I know that you are uncomfortable, and I will compensate you on behalf of my mother-in-law." If you still have a heart in your heart, I will apologize to you in front of the people of the house......"
Dou Zhao glanced at Su Xin.
Su Xin immediately stepped forward to help Dong.
"Sister-in-law is serious." Dou Zhao put down the teacup and took out the handkerchief. wiped his hands and said, "I'm a person who doesn't usually care about these trivial things with people. I think your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also smart people. I will not embarrass you - instead of kowtowing to me in front of the women and servants up and down the house and confessing your mistakes, so that the master does not look like the master, and the subordinate does not look like the subordinate, it is better to give me the pair of cards that your father-in-law gave you. She said. Wen Sheng laughed, "The affairs of the house." Don't bother the aunt, I'll take care of it properly. ”
That smile, looking at Dong's eyes, only felt extremely dazzling.
She opened her mouth and said after a while: "This, this is not very good......
Dou Zhao's face changed suddenly, and he slapped on the kang table with a "snap", which shook the kang table with a "clanging clanging" sound of touching porcelain: "You think I'm a fool!" Eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! I want to please both sides, but there is no door! You're either going to hand me over the pair of cards and meet each other and have three points of incense. Either you will listen to my father-in-law and continue to think of ways to embarrass me. But I also tell you the truth, don't think that you are the lady of the British Mansion with the pair of cards of the British Duke, and you can do whatever you want. If you make me unhappy, don't say that I don't give face to this when I fall, so that you can't get off the stage! ”
How can there be such a vulgar woman in this world?
Isn't the Dou family a heirloom of poetry, books and etiquette?
How could such a girl be raised?
Dong almost passed out.
"You, you, you ......" She pointed at Dou Zhao with a pale face, not knowing what to say.
Dou Zhao sneered and took the tea.
Su Xin shouted "send off" loudly.
The Dong family fled.
Dou Zhao instructed Su Xin: "Send the tea and tea cups that I have drunk to the flower hall in the upper courtyard, and splash them in my yard and dirty my ground!" "I want to humiliate the eldest lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but I also want everyone to understand that the eldest lady is just bluffing, and she still has the final say in this family.
Su Xin smiled and called a small servant, and asked him to take the teacup that Dong had drunk to the flower hall on a tray.
The eldest lady was really angry this time: "I really don't know what to do!" I don't know what to do! Isn't she afraid that Grandpa Guo will dislike her? ”
Dong hesitated and said: "Money is human guts, I think, Dou may not be afraid of what Grandpa Guo will treat her, otherwise, the second uncle asked her to speak, and she would not dare to procrastinate, until the second uncle is about to leave!" ”
Yes, I only thought it was strange at the time, but I didn't think about it in this way.
This nephew and daughter-in-law don't eat oil and salt, and it doesn't seem to be a good match.
She couldn't help but stroke her forehead.
I felt like I had a hot potato.
