Chapter 226: The Zhao Family's Situation
The Zhao family can be described as a catastrophe.
Mrs. Zhao was almost blind from crying, and Mrs. Zhao was also ill, her eldest daughter was beaten to death by her son-in-law, and her youngest daughter committed suicide in prison, and her only son was also sentenced to exile.
At present, the Zhao family is only the sister-in-law of the Zhao family who is struggling to support herself, but now that she has lost the protection of Ninghou Mansion and Yuwang Mansion one after another, how will she live in the future.
Chu Yuezi came to visit her grandparents, Ninghou Mansion is no longer her relatives, and now her relatives are only her grandparents, if her grandparents also have an accident, she is really duckweed without her.
"How's Grandma?" Chu Yuezi took her aunt's hand and asked.
The sister-in-law of the Zhao family sighed and said, "Since the news of Concubine Yu's suicide came, she has been crying, she can't be persuaded and her eyes are blurred now. ”
"Where's Grandpa?" Chu Yuezi asked again.
"The situation is not optimistic." The sister-in-law of the Zhao family said helplessly, "Since the beginning of the first two years, the body is not very good, and now it has suffered blows one after another, and the physical condition is plummeting. ”
She said, she couldn't help but wipe her tears sadly, when the Zhao family was beautiful, they were all prominent in the capital, and the people who came and went were all powerful, how would you know that it would be such a scene today?
She held Chu Yuezi's hand and pleaded: "Yuezi, please beg the eldest princess, save your uncle, southern Xinjiang is a wild place, it is said that anyone who is sent to the past will die more than half of them on the road, even if you are lucky enough to live it, you have to live a hard life, your uncle can endure those hardships!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll figure out a way for my uncle." Chu Yuezi said, "I'll go see my grandmother." ”
There was a bad smell in the room, mixed with the smell of medicine, it was the smell of checkmate emitted by the old man, Chu Yuezi frowned slightly, tears couldn't help but fall, she couldn't understand, whether he was Ninghou Mansion or Zhao Family or Yuwang Mansion, he was good before, why did he suddenly become what he is now, why!
If you go back to the root cause, all of this is that she shouldn't know Qi Yuzhi, and if there is no negative person like Qi Yuzhi, maybe everything will remain the same.
Father will choose a good family for her, she will marry beautifully, her mother is still the wife of Ninghou Mansion, and her aunt will one day take the place of Princess Yu, and the Zhao family will get better and better.
All these variables are blamed on her for not knowing people clearly, and she knows Qi Yuzhi!
She used to hate the Chu family, hated Chu Yuan, hated Chu Yue'an, and now what she hates most is Qi Yuzhi and Lord Minzhi, all of this, this is what they harmed!
Today's family is ruined, suffering humiliation and despair, she will taste and swallow this kind of taste, and he will return it a thousand times in the future!
"Grandma." Chu Yuezi sat on the edge of the bed and called softly.
"Is it Yuezi?" Old Madam Zhao stretched out her hand, "My good girl, my heart, liver and flesh!" ”
"It's me!" Chu Yuezi held her grandmother's old hand and said softly, "Yuezi is here, Yuezi is with grandma!" ”
"My eyes are no longer good, I can't see you clearly, let my grandmother touch it." Old Madam Zhao said, stretched out her hand and touched Chu Yuezi's face, and the old tears were horizontal, "It's my Yuezi, it's my heart!" Yuezi, your mother is gone, your aunt is gone, your uncle is gone, and your grandmother is the only one left. ”
Chu Yuezi also cried: "Grandma don't worry, I will be fine, I will take good care of my grandparents and aunts on behalf of my mother, as well as my uncle, I will also find a way to take him back to the capital, and our family will be able to reunite again." ”
Old Madam Zhao smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't wait for that day, the Zhao family will be handed over to you, your uncle can't die, he hasn't left a queen for the Zhao family, you have to watch!" And Qingsong, you have to find that kid Qingsong, so this is a family reunion! Good child, you have been raised with gold and dignity since you were a child, how have you suffered these hardships now, my child, grandma is distressed, you are only seventeen years old! ”
The grandfather and grandson cried together, and finally coaxed Mrs. Zhao to stop crying and fell asleep, Chu Yuezi went to visit her grandfather again, but Mrs. Zhao was asleep now, and she didn't even know that she was coming, so she had to say some reassuring words on the side, and she didn't know if he could know.
After closing the door and coming out, Chu Yuezi pulled the sister-in-law of the Zhao family to speak again: "At present, the only thing in the family is the hard uncle, you are worried about your uncle, and you are taking care of the two old people, which makes you suffer." ”
"Being a daughter-in-law, these are all things I should do." The sister-in-law of the Zhao family said, "I can still support it now, and I hope that your uncle can come back soon." ”
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Chu Yuezi wiped her tears, "I've been out for too long, I should go back, take care of my aunt, I'll come back tomorrow." Keep this money for emergencies. ”
"I'm not going to be polite to you." The sister-in-law of the Zhao family gave a silver ticket, "I keep this money." ”
Chu Yuezi reluctantly left, and the sister-in-law of the Zhao family wiped her tears, looking loveless, could it be that this is all fate?
The Zhao family was sad, and the mood of the old lady of Ninghou Mansion recovered a lot in the company of her beloved daughter and granddaughter.
She used to always lazily take the spring garden inside, reluctant to go out, but now she can be coaxed to go to the garden to walk around, breathe.
After dinner, twilight is approaching, but today's sunset is very beautiful, Chu Li accompanied the old lady to watch for a while, and sighed: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Why do you sigh so decently?" ”
"Mother, I'm worried about the future of the Hou Mansion." Chu Li said, "Right now, Ninghou Mansion actually let a concubine like Aunt Xiang be the master of the house, isn't there no distinction between respect and inferiority?" I'm worried that our Hou Mansion will think about the sunset, not thriving, but sunset. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, our Hou Mansion is fine." The old lady said, "Let Aunt Xiang make the decision for the time being, I also have my own plans." ”
"But it's not a way to go on for such a long time, a concubine can be on the table, not to mention the daughter of a businessman, how cheap it is, and her mother is also confused, and she is not afraid of people's jokes." Chu Li said, "Mother, don't you have a long-term plan for this matter?" For example, renewing the strings for the eldest brother? ”
The second lady said on the side: "Actually, I also think what the third girl said makes sense, an aunt in the Hou Mansion is really unreasonable, I don't like to go out these days, I'm afraid that others will talk about it." It's okay to renew the chord for the eldest brother, what candidate does the mother have in her heart? ”
The old lady's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said, "I have also mentioned this matter to your eldest brother, but he feels that he is old and has little interest in the continuation of the string." ”
"Then you can't let a concubine be in charge, and our family is not without a lady." Chu Li continued, "Mother, why don't you hand over the Hou Mansion to the second sister-in-law? She is the daughter-in-law of your Ming media, and she also has this qualification. ”
Although the old lady has been in poor spirits recently, she is not old and confused in this matter, how many pounds and taels does this second daughter-in-law have? She has no ability to manage the entire Hou Mansion at all, if this Hou Mansion is really handed over to her, won't this Hou Mansion be emptied by her!
"Now that the family has been separated, it is unreasonable for me to take charge of my brother's family as a brother-in-law." The old lady said lightly, "The Hou Mansion will be handed over to Aunt Xiang for the time being, and it has not been a few years since Qingbai married her daughter-in-law, and when the time comes, the Hou Mansion will be handed over to the young lady, so you don't have to worry about this matter." ”
Seeing the old lady's resolute attitude, Chu Li couldn't continue to say anything to make her unhappy, but the second lady was disappointed, she really thought that Chu Li would be able to hand over the Hou Mansion to her if she gave the old lady a blow!
In a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is one of the festivals that the people of the capital are looking forward to, this day will hold a grand dragon boat race on the Mekong River, and the people of the capital are watching along the coast.
Chu Li must come over before the Dragon Boat Festival, just to watch the dragon boat race.
When it was still in the morning, Lu Youming was very excited, and smiled around his mother: "In the past, the teacher heard you talk about how wonderful the dragon boat race was, and I always missed this Dragon Boat Festival when I came to the opportunity before. ”
Chu Li looked at his daughter who was wearing a bright green long skirt, with a beaded hairpin, and a little rouge on her face, and her heart was slowly proud, and she smiled: "Why is my daughter so good-looking!" Let me tell you, this event is not only popular with the people, but also many dignitaries and nobles are interested, if you have the opportunity to meet a few ladies, maybe there will be a fancy to you, and your marriage will not be completed? ”
"But I still want to marry the King of Chu." Lu Youming pouted.
"Let's do both." Chu Li brushed his daughter's hair, "Such a beautiful girl, the King of Chu will definitely be tempted by you." ”
After cleaning up, Chu Li first took Lu Youming to accompany the old lady to breakfast.
"Mother has to go and see the dragon boat race today!" Chu Li said, "I haven't seen such a lively scene for many years!" ”
The old lady smiled and said, "I like to be quiet lately, you young people can go and see these lively things!" ”
Aunt Xiang waited on the side and said with a smile: "Knowing that the three girls like the dragon boat race the most, we have already arranged the location earlier to ensure that the three girls can see the most exciting places." ”
"You're doing a good job." Chu Li smiled faintly, "Who are the people around?" If it were ordinary people, I wouldn't go, I couldn't stand the smell. ”
"Don't worry, this is what the second lady and Princess Jin came over, and it is next to Princess Jin." Aunt Xiang smiled lightly.
