Chapter 15: Good Things
Yu Can had just gone to the main courtyard, and Yao immediately asked people to go outside to inquire.
Zhao Feng's home is not far from Yu Mansion, and the mother-in-law who went to inquire about the news only turned a few small food stalls and heard about the recent events in the Zhao family.
Zhao's mother said that she was a lively old lady at best, but she was a shrew if she was ugly, and she was indeed not a kind mother-in-law. In recent years, she has relied on her son to become a sesame petty official, and she often shows off her martial arts outside, and her neighbors hate her very much.
Yu Xinyi, who was born in Bofu, of course, looked down on Zhao's mother in the countryside, and was extremely disgusted with her from the moment she entered the door. And Mother Zhao was even more disgusted with this pretending daughter-in-law.
The two have a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days, and the Zhao family often scolds the two like a big play, and the bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not a new thing.
"Some time ago, Mrs. Zhao had a minor illness, and your sister-in-law invited a Dao aunt from outside, and she was a great god and burned talisman paper, and poured talisman water into Mrs. Zhao several times. This toss turned a small illness into a major illness, and the old lady fainted, and she has not woken up until now. ”
Zhao Feng was working on his grandfather some time ago, and as soon as he came back, he saw that his family was in a mess.
The mother was unconscious but there was no serious doctor to see a doctor, and the two ten-year-old sons only knew how to cry loudly, with snot and tears on their faces.
And Yu Xinyi, who was actually crooked on the beauty couch in the main house, told the maid to invite Aunt Dao to come and see it again. Zhao Feng was furious, the clay man still had three points of earthiness, not to mention that his temper was not so good.
"According to the neighbors in the street, Zhao Feng picked up a broom, beat your sister-in-law from the yard to the outside of the yard, and then chased her home from the outside of the yard. Your sister-in-law cried and shouted that she was going to die, and today the neighbor saw her return to Yufu with her luggage and maid. ”
The brother and sister were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they didn't squeeze out words for a long time.
After a long while, Yu Can said: "My sister-in-law is jumping around and full of energy, I see that she is still wronged!" ”
almost killed his mother-in-law, and actually ran back to his parents' house to shout grievances, the fierce Yuzhou people didn't dare to do this, Yu Can felt that the capital was too big, and it was really strange.
Yu Shuo frowned and said, "When such a thing happened, the old lady didn't prepare a generous gift and didn't invite a doctor, but she still wanted me to help my sister-in-law make peace?" ”
Yao sneered: "Their mother and daughter are confused, we can't follow the confusion." ”
This is a good opportunity to clear up the relationship outside, and Yao will not miss it easily. "Mama Yao, pick the best ginseng from the medicine that Shuo'er brought back, and then let Dr. Qin go to Zhao's house."
Mama Yao is shrewd and capable, and she immediately understood what Yao meant. "Well, I'll go."
"Mother, why did my sister-in-law make a mistake and we have to help clean up the mess?" Yu Can pouted and was a little unhappy, her sister-in-law said her ugly words in her heart, and she didn't want to get involved in her sister-in-law's affairs at all.
"Silly boy, your sister-in-law has lost face outside, if we ignore it like the old lady, won't outsiders treat us and them as people along the way?"
When Yao said this, Yu Can somewhat understood.
The contradictions in the Yu Mansion have always been only internal, and they have not gone to the surface, the Li family has not shown unkindness in front of others, and Yu Zhiyuan has not shown unfilial piety.
Because of this, Yu Mansion is still a whole in the eyes of outsiders, and Yu Xinyi's scandal will inevitably affect the reputation of Changfang.
In order to avoid this, the Yao family must find ways to clear up their relationship with the old lady and Yu Xinyi, and make a clear posture not to be in the same boat as these two goods.
"If we are upright and upright, and we don't get involved in the dirty things in the house, people with a discerning eye will know that Changfang and Yufu are actually different. Everyone knows that your grandmother is a stepfamily, and over time, the outside will see us separately from them. ”
Seeing that her mother had to worry about these troubles as soon as she returned to Beijing, Yu Shuo's brows tightened, and she was very angry.
"Mother, can you think of a way to divide the house without separating the family? If my sister is dragged down by them, what will happen in the future? ”
Yao didn't know this, the four girls in Yu Mansion, but no one cared about it so far! It's just that the old lady is still there, don't say it's her, and even Yu Zhiyuan doesn't dare to mention it.
Unless the Li family does things too desperately, the old lady can't stand it. Thinking of this, Yao raised his eyebrows, according to Li's temperament, it is not impossible to do stupid things......
"Don't mention the matter of the division for the time being, save your father from embarrassment, let's take a step at a time."
Yao didn't make it clear, she didn't want her children to worry about these things, she just hoped that her son could realize his ambitions and her daughter could be happy and smooth.
"Besides, with me, no one can ruin Cancan's reputation."
Yu Shuo was very relieved about his mother's ability to survive in the back house, but he didn't understand it himself, so he didn't intervene anymore when he heard the words. Seeing that it was not early, he got up and planned to go back to the outer courtyard to rest.
"Mother, Cancan, something good will happen tomorrow morning, you have to get up early."
Yao Shi guessed the general idea when he heard it, and his face was happy, but he deliberately sold Guan Zi and did not tell Yu Can.
After Yu Shuo left, Yu Can still pestered Yao for a long time, until he yawned one after another, and Yao didn't tell her what was good.
*
Early the next morning, a pair of magpies stood on the branches and chirped non-stop, which made Yu Can, who had just woken up from sleep, think of the "good thing", and hurriedly washed up and went to the main house.
As soon as the front foot stepped into the threshold, a woman from behind hurriedly ran in, almost brushed her arm and rushed into the back room, shouting with surprise on her face: "Master! Madam! Your Majesty, the Emperor sent someone to Yu Mansion, carrying several boxes! ”
Yu Can's eyes lit up, and he finally knew what the good thing his brother was talking about.
She looked into the house, her father and mother had already prepared, the two of them were wearing official uniforms and command uniforms, very presentable, and when they saw her coming, they all grinned at her.
Yu Mansion has not seen the emperor's reward since the previous generation, and the old lady Yu thought that he had heard it wrong, so he was stunned for a long time before he asked someone to call the Li family.
When Li heard the news, he was having breakfast with Yu Xinyi, and when he heard that the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, thinking that this reward was not earned by her own grandson, she was so jealous that tears almost fell out.
Yu Xinyi hurriedly persuaded and persuaded her again and again before she calmed down and changed her clothes to thank her.
Hearing that Yu Shuo was officially appointed as the general of the fourth rank Mingwei, and then seeing five large boxes full of them, everyone kneeling in the front hall had different thoughts, but they had to make a flattered appearance on their faces.
It wasn't until the eunuch left with the people that everyone revealed their true emotions.
Li clenched his teeth, almost pinching the palm of his hand to bleed; The smiles on the faces of the second and third rooms are also very reluctant; Only the old lady Yu quickly returned to normal, patted the ash on her knees, and calmly went out to buy birds.
The family of four in the long house was not as ecstatic as everyone imagined, and Yu Shuo's official position once again confirmed Yu Can's prophecy, making them worried.
When Yu Zhiyuan was absent-mindedly polite with his two younger brothers, Yu Can suddenly covered his head and snorted, raised his head, and the expression on his face was quite strange.
