Chapter 55: The Turmoil After the Big Wedding
Wang Yuyan felt very guilty about Zhu Zimo because she implicated her son.
Originally, Zhu Zimo had already received an appointment and could stay in Beijing to become the head of the Guozijian Supervisor, but now because of that incident, he was changed to be sent to Meixian County and only became a magistrate. Although they are both six-grade official positions, they are very different.
Although Wang knows his son's ambitions, it is now the best ending, and he can only comfort him and himself so much.
However, fortunately, the marriage with the Deng family has not changed.
Although Zhu Yuanshan and the Wang family also bled a lot in order to preserve this marriage, Zhu Zimo's marriage was still held as scheduled.
was originally a good thing of double happiness, but it was also beaten because of the peach-colored scandal.
The people of the capital are also people who have seen a lot of "big news", so they naturally have heard about the things at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the real palace.
It's just that on the second day of the birthday banquet, it was rumored that Wang Shuyao, the third lady of the Wang family, and Zhu Zimo, the eldest son of the real palace, had already fallen in love and privately decided for life.
It doesn't matter if this rumor is true or not, and whether anyone believes it or not. But the news spread quickly, and everyone tacitly determined that this was a countermeasure jointly discussed by the True Wangfu, the Wang family, and the Deng family.
As for why Master Deng could still agree to let his daughter marry into the fire pit, outsiders don't know, only Young Master Deng and Zhu Yuanshan understand.
Because of Wang's guilt, she originally prepared a lot of wedding money for her son's wedding, and now she has taken out all her old books.
She took out everything she could, hoping to compensate her son, and let the Deng family know that her son was not completely hopeless, and she should not underestimate her son.
But all this was seen by another person in his eyes and angry in his heart.
In the Peony Pavilion of the True King's Mansion.
"Bang" a Ru kiln white porcelain plum vase smashed to the ground, and the fragments splashed everywhere, which also showed the owner's anger.
"Miss, you dissipate your anger, don't hurt yourself"
Cui'er saw that the young lady had a big temper, although she was also very scared, but because others did not dare to dissuade her, she could only step forward and persuade her.
Zhu Chenxi is very angry now, she should give her blessing when her brother got married.
But when she saw the more than 100 gifts and the hundreds of miles of welcoming relatives. Looking at the boxes of gold and silver jewelry, agate gems, as well as precious antique calligraphy and paintings, and real estate title deeds, all of which my mother secretly took out and accumulated from the palace treasury.
These are all given to her brother and sister-in-law, so what else can she have left?
Because of his brother's scandal, Zhu Chenxi has already become the laughing stock of the entire capital.
She was even more worried that her marriage with Lin Shengyang, the second son of the Dingguo Mansion, would be affected by her brother's affairs, and even collapsed.
originally wanted to keep more dowry, but also to save some face.
But when she knew that her mother had everything she had, in order to let the new sister-in-law and her mother-in-law look at her brother differently, where could Zhu Chenxi calm down.
Although she knew that she had no position to stop her mother, it didn't stop her from getting angry, angry, and showing her heavenly capital.
This room full of fragments has clearly declared her position.
As soon as Zhu Zimo got married, he left the capital with his new wife and went to Meixian to take office.
Zhu Chenxi also did not appear in the send-off team.
Wang naturally knew her daughter's willfulness and childish temper, thinking that she would only play a few tempers and be fine in a few days, so she didn't take this matter to heart.
But the son and daughter-in-law have been away from Beijing for many days, and the daughter is still cold to herself, and even loses her temper at every turn.
Wang was already worried about her son's uncertain future, and in addition, she found that her husband was also implicated in her because of his demotion, and he was already very cold to her.
Under this internal and external pressure, Wang was already exhausted. In the past few days, he has been sick in bed, describing witheredness.
If her daughter loses her temper and plays tricks, although Wang has the heart to comfort her, she can't do anything about it.
Zhu Chenxi was awkward, Wang was sick and bedridden, and Zhu Yuanshan mediated all day long, hoping to be reinstated as soon as possible. The real king's mansion is already very embarrassing.
And the second room in the courtyard of the Cao family.
Cao is enjoying his best days in a long time.
Looking at Wang's haggard appearance, Cao's heart didn't mention how happy he was.
Where will she help comfort Zhu Chenxi? She couldn't wait for Zhu Chenxi to make as much trouble as possible, so that the Wang family would not be at peace all day.
Because Cao was in a good mood, he happily used half a bowl of porridge.
Zhu Shanlei on the side looked at her mother, who was wide and fat recently, and couldn't help frowning.
Mother is so happy that she has a lot of headaches.
Thinking of the aunt who lived outside, Zhu Shanlei couldn't help but want to remind her mother, don't just think about watching the jokes of the eldest aunt's family, she already has her eyebrows burning and she doesn't know it.
"Mother, have you been in a good mood lately?"
Zhu Shanlei finished dinner, took the handkerchief handed by the girl, wiped her mouth, and then spoke.
Cao Lihua didn't mean to stop, "That's natural, if someone in the house is unhappy, I'll be happy." I've been in the capital for so many years, and I haven't been so happy for a long time."
Zhu Shanhan was on the side, waiting for the girl, chewing and eating slowly.
Zhu Chengjun looked indifferent, didn't get involved in the conversation between several women at all, and left straight after dinner.
Zhu Shanlei saw that her brother was leaving and her father was not there, so she said to her mother with confidence and boldness.
"Mother, you are in a good mood, and of course your daughter is also very happy, but I still have to remind you that if you are in front of the old lady and the eldest aunt, don't show it."
Of course, Cao Shi understood what her daughter meant, and she would not be stupid enough to show it in front of outsiders.
These days, because of the birthday banquet, the old lady has not made things difficult for her for a long time, will she still be stupid enough to hit the old lady's muzzle?
"I can save it, I'm not stupid, I'm just happy in my yard"
"Mother, you should know the truth of cold lips and teeth......
"Alright, don't say it. Every time you speak, I turn into unhappy."
Cao pushed the bowl and finally stopped eating.
The Cao family was unhappy, and the other concubines and concubines were trembling, so they left casually for a reason. It can be seen that the Cao family is very strict with the discipline of the second room, and these aunts and concubines are very afraid of her.
The entire dining room was empty in an instant, and only Cao's mother and daughter remained.
Zhu Shanlei saw that her mother was unhappy, but she had no intention of stopping.
"Mother, if you don't like to hear it, I won't say it."
Cao Shi looked at the daughter in front of her, although she was only twelve years old, she always had a feeling that she couldn't see through. If it weren't for her biological daughter, the Cao family really didn't want to stay with her for more. Therefore, the Cao family does not like this daughter.
Zhu Shanlei knew that her mother was staring at her, and she was not afraid, so she generously let her mother look at her.
"If you weren't my daughter-in-law, I would have thought you wouldn't be happy to see me."
Although Cao was born in a merchant family and did not have so many rules, she was not an ignorant peasant woman who didn't know anything.
Cao's temper comes and goes quickly.
Zhu Shanlei saw that her mother was no longer angry, and then turned around and pretended to feed her sister Zhu Shanhan, and opened her mouth inadvertently.
"After my father returned to Beijing, he went out early and returned late all day, does my mother know what my father is busy with?"
When Cao Shi heard this, he thought of his longing husband, and after returning to the capital, he still couldn't see him all day, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, "Who knows?" I didn't go home all day, saying that I wanted to stay in the capital and not go back to Jiangnan, so I went out to socialize."
Zhu Shanlei heard Cao's loss, but she didn't think that the truth of the matter was like this.
Zhu Shanlei hid the cleverness in her eyes, and only said lightly, "Mother and father have not seen each other for so long, he finally returned to Beijing, and mother naturally cares more about his father." My father has been away from Beijing for so many years, and my mother should also ask more about whom he has befriended him. Don't let your father be deceived, and your mother will be ruined with her personal wealth."
When Cao heard this, no daughter had ever cursed her parents like this, and she was not happy, and her face collapsed in an instant.
"As a child, do you curse your parents like this? Your father did everything he could to reunite our family and no longer suffer from separation. Why aren't you moved, and you're still here to talk about some and not. I don't want to listen to you, so you might as well go back to your own room and stay."
Cao was angry, and Zhu Shanlei didn't need to stay here anymore.
Zhu Shanlei handed the jade cup that her sister ate to the girl next to her, and then left.
Waiting for Zhu Shanlei to leave, Cao Lihua looked thoughtfully at her daughter's back.
Although she reprimanded her daughter just now, she was also uneasy in her heart. When the husband returned to Beijing this time, he seemed to have separated from himself. Is she going to pay more attention to her husband? See who your husband has been dating lately?
