Chapter 4 The Zeng family and his wife came to the door

Yao Huan listened to her aunt chatting with a cheerful little man in the patio, and then came into the house again.

"It's Zhang Ah Si. Today, when he went to deliver the pork intestines to a few boatmen, he saw you, and came to report to me like a rabbit. I still faintly heard the sound of drumming first, where did I think that the wicked woman would send you to Zeng's house today. ”

Yao Huan checked his aunt's voice, it turned out that his aunt was the proprietress of a restaurant, and "Zhang Asi" was a buddy.

Then, Yao Huan obtained important information.

I only heard my aunt sigh: "Ah Si is a clever and diligent child, if it weren't for the fact that my uncle and I have long been reconciled, living alone, and taboo everything, it would be difficult for the family to live with a man, otherwise he wouldn't have to sleep in the restaurant every day." Now that this month is quite comfortable, he has suffered in the wax month. ”

Yao Huan was stunned.

Gone?

The beautiful and sassy aunt in front of her is really a female classmate with a story.

After Yao Huan opened her eyes and saw that this should be the world of the ancients in the Northern Song Dynasty, she went from unbelievable shock, to bewilderment, to excitement and curiosity like surging beaches, and at this moment, she finally felt that she had to cheer up and face God's arrangement for herself.

It's just that some speculation and exploration should be done slowly, and it is too casual, and if you make a mistake, it will be a little more weird, and it is not good to talk about being knocked unconscious and amnesia every time.

Yao Huan then leaned down, making that she couldn't support it and wanted to lie down, and her aunt hurriedly said, "Well, you can rest quickly, let Meituan take care of you, and your aunt will keep the accounts." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as her voice fell, Zhang Asi's call came from outside the door again, and this time she could hear three points of urgency and some fear.

"The owner, Zengfu, Zengfu has come."

The aunt stood up suddenly, but instead of being frightened, she said to herself with a hint of mockery: "Is the master asking for the crime, or is it directly asking for someone?" Sister Huan, don't be afraid, aunt go and take a look. ”

I went out of the house, but I saw Zhang Ah standing by the wall with his back bowed and respectful, and outside the courtyard gate, there was a couple in brocade clothes about forty years old, and two maidservants who were not young and dressed quite decently.

"But the Shen family's sister-in-law?" The middle-aged man owed his chin slightly, and asked with a pleasant face, but his voice did not hide the dignity of the eunuchs.

My aunt said in her heart, and when she opened her mouth, she called my surname in the boudoir, which was the home of Zhu Zi Chongchen, and her ears and eyes were quick and clear, and even I was a woman who lived alone.

The aunt then stepped forward to salute, neither humble nor arrogant: "Shen Fuzhi, the woman of the people, Yao Huan's aunt." ”

"The old man Zeng Ti, because of the marriage between the dog Zeng Ke and the eldest lady of the Yao family, took the liberty to come to the door with his wife, in order to clarify the misunderstanding with Sister-in-law Shen."

Zeng Ti, the eldest son of Zeng Bu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the court, explained his intention word by word, and at the same time took half a step towards the threshold. The wife of the hairpin beside him also smiled lightly and followed her husband to the door.

Shen Fuzhi is spicy, but he is not a rude person, let alone a stupid person with poor eyesight. However, in the middle of the day, Zeng Ti, as an elder, came forward in person and brought Mrs. Yan, but it was a light and simple style, she understood that the other party at least paid attention to and restrained, and did not show the intention of the official to suppress people.

Shen Fuzhi led the Zeng couple into the hall, gave up the main seat, and ordered Meituan to order tea in a low voice, Fang turned around and looked at the two uninvited Bodhisattvas generously.

Zeng Ti said: "How is the child? The old man brought Lang Zhong and sat in the car to listen. ”

Shen Fuzhi said: "Zeng Gong, Mrs. Zeng, when I met Zhang Laoshuai on the bank of the Bianhe River first, Sister Huan was already sober, she could recognize people, and she could recognize me even more." I just got some soup and cakes, and now I'm sleeping. Thank you for your care, but you don't have to work at this moment. ”

Zeng Ti still looked calm and relaxed, but the three words "Zhang Laoshuai" didn't teach him to sneer secretly.

It's also a ghost, today's incident is already not small, but it also crashed into the hands of his father Zeng Bu's political enemies. cough, how can Zhang Jie be qualified to be his father's political enemy, but he is just a real political enemy and one of the two generals under Zhang Tun. But this person should not be underestimated on the battlefield, and he is even more keen and cunning in the officialdom, so he can't say that he will already sit in the Zhangdun Mansion and arrange this unfortunate incident of the Zeng family.

At the same time, Zeng Ti also had to admit that the woman surnamed Shen had become a small businessman in the market, doing business in inferior restaurants, and her gestures and remarks were neither tacky nor stupid.

The maidservant Meituan was quick with her hands and feet, and in a moment she had already brought up the sencha.

Zeng Ti took a sip, put down the teacup, and sighed sullenly.

Mrs. Zeng got the signal, and hurriedly pinched her smile more sincerely, and said slowly: "Her aunt, the family affair between the Zeng and Yao families was also the official media, and the six etiquettes were complete. Although Brother Ke'er is a concubine, in the end he is also the grandson of the eldest mansion, and he is the pearl of his father-in-law's palm, and he heard that he can marry with the clansmen of Shen Jingluo, and his father-in-law also came to the courtyard of my husband and wife to praise this in-law for finding it well. The Zeng family is a family of cultivators and scholars, if my wife really knew that the child was someone in his heart and was dedicated to keeping festivals, how could he make a forced marriage. ”

When she said this, she said "Hi", her tone was filled with a hint of helplessness, and she continued: "If Sister Huan has any grievances, she can say it in the house, how do you know that this child has such a hard temperament, how can the silver bottle be cracked, and the affairs of Zeng Yao's two families will be spread to the capital, and even the old handsome Zhang who passed by will be the master." ”

When Shen Fuzhi heard this, his face sank, and he stared at Zeng Shi and said: "Madam, is this saying that Sister Huan Erte is not sensible, and it is a big mistake that she lost her life, and it is a big mistake to teach your mansion not to be able to hang on your face?" Zeng Gong, Mrs. Zeng, did not hide from the two nobles, this matter could have been avoided, but it was not the child's fault that it came to such a field. Sister Huan is one of the best kind-hearted, and she was treated harshly by her stepmother on weekdays. But she was not stupid, she had already noticed that her stepmother had disobeyed her father's deathbed confession, made an unauthorized proposal to marry her, and secretly sent the next neighbor's child to report to me a few days ago. Yaofu has taught the wicked woman to be in charge, I can't knock on the door, and Kaifeng Mansion won't care about this matter, so I had to worship the post and send it to the house, asking to see Zeng Gong and tell the truth. Today, I heard Zeng Gong and his wife say that they didn't know anything, and it was strange that there was no follow-up to that post. I didn't expect that the day of welcoming would come so quickly, and it was more urgent than attacking the city. Sister Huan must be called every day, not the earth, so that the river touches the pillar. The two of them are also parents, young and young, how can they bear to reprimand this miserable good child. ”

Zeng Ti frowned and glanced coldly at his wife.

Zeng's eyes lit up, and he said to himself in a panic: "What kind of post, could it be that Yunniang covered it?" Ah Lang, Yun Niang is also a beloved son......"

"Bastard," Zeng Ti scolded his wife and said in a low voice, "Look at what kind of house you are in charge of, there are no rules." ”

Zeng lowered his head, not daring to make a sound, and the corners of his mouth were clearly aggrieved and unwilling.

Shen Fuzhi sneered secretly, you can act it, play a scene where the wife is incompetent and the concubine does whatever she wants in the house. Obviously, she is looking for a helpless orphan girl from a good family to rush to the sick seedlings at home, but at this moment, she is dignified and clean, even if it is very undignified, she can push it to the concubine called Yun Niang.

As the saying goes, teaching his son in front of him and his wife behind his back, Zeng Ti believes that he reprimanded his concubine in front of Shen Fuzhi in this way, which is enough to show the sincerity of the negotiation.

He was silent, turned to Shen Fuzhi, and finally began to get to the point: "Sister-in-law Shen, the old man and Neizi did have a big mistake, and I almost missed such a good child, I am really ashamed in my heart." The authorities are confused, my husband and wife don't know how to remedy it, but it is my father's instructions that make the two of us come to the door quickly, one is to apologize, and the other is to recognize Yao Niangzi as a righteous daughter. ”
