Chapter 22: Resisting Marriage

Master Zhou shouted: "What about family law? What about family law? Bring me the family law! ”

Mrs. Zhou cried and pulled Master Zhou and said, "Master, you can dissipate your anger, Ruikang will figure it out," and quickly pulled her son's arm and shook it vigorously a few times, and said: "Ruikang, quickly apologize to your father, quickly, say that you know that you are wrong, say that you are willing to marry, say quickly!" ”

Cuiliu at the door heard Master Zhou's shout, his whole body trembled, he didn't know whether he wanted to go in with the family law, hesitated, walked up the steps, and suddenly someone next to her pulled her, Cuiliu turned around, it turned out to be Zhou Fu, Zhou Fu put his index finger on his lips, made a gesture, shook his head, and signaled her not to go in.

Cuiliu turned around and walked to Zhou Fu's side, and said hurriedly: "What can I do about this?" ”

Zhou Fu said: "You don't know the master's temperament yet, if you don't go in, he will yell twice, and it will be fine in a while, you go in with the family law now, and the second young master will not be able to get out of the game tonight if he doesn't get a few sticks." Besides, if you go in now, how are you going to explain to your wife? ”

Cuiliu was right to think about it, looked at Zhou Fu and smiled and said, "You have a lot of eyes." ”

Zhou Fuhan smiled and said: "We are all members of the Zhou family, and we always hope that the master's wife will be peaceful, so try to make the big things small." ”

Cuiliu sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on at home this week, and there's a lot of trouble in the backyard." ”

"You mean the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother?"

Cuiliu nodded helplessly, and Zhou Fu sighed: "The most difficult thing in the world is the word 'love'. ”

"You really understand." Cuiliu laughed teasingly.

Zhou Fu ignored her teasing, looked in through the crack in the door, and sure enough, as he expected, although Master Zhou's chest rose and fell violently, he had obviously gradually calmed down, crooked on the chair and kept panting, seeing Mrs. Zhou caressing Ruikang's face in distress, he couldn't stop crying, and he regretted that he had made a heavy shot just now, after all, he also loved his son.

Ruikang also slowly calmed down at this time, looking at his tearful mother, his father's pale face, and he felt guilty, he didn't want to contradict his father, he didn't want to make his parents angry, but he didn't want to exchange his lifelong marriage for their temporary happiness, he lowered his head, and his left cheek was hot.

After a while, Master Zhou snorted in his nose and said, "You can kneel here for me tonight to think about it." Shulan, let's go. ”

When Master Zhou gave an order, even Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to disobey, so she had to stand up with tears in her eyes and follow Master Zhou out of the hall.

//

As soon as the second elder of the Zhou family returned to Yilan Xiaozhu, Yan Xi greeted him and said, "Master, wife, the eldest and youngest grandmother is copying scriptures on the second floor. ”

Master Zhou was just angry with this scene, how could he care about Mei Ruojun, he only felt that his chest was stuffy, and he had a headache, so he waved his hand and went back to the bedroom.

Mrs. Zhou came to the second floor, and sure enough, she saw Ruojun copying scriptures in front of the table, as soon as she saw her, Mrs. Zhou felt disgusted, although she was not completely sure, and there was no evidence, but with a woman's intuition, she had vaguely felt that Ruikang was so fiercely opposed to marriage, and she must be inextricably linked with Mei Ruojun.

In Mrs. Zhou's eyes, Mei Ruojun is no longer a virtuous and gentle daughter-in-law, she has become a foxy red face and trouble, just like the ancient Daji and Baoxi.

But Mrs. Zhou is still noble and fair, at least she has to behave like this, she walked in slowly with a blank face, and said calmly: "Has Ryan eaten?" How much did you eat? ”

Mei Ruojun hurriedly put down the pen, stood up and walked to Mrs. Zhou, and said nervously: "It's Mother Zhao who serves Ruian to eat." I...... Didn't go in...... "She didn't tell Ryan about throwing her and her food out of the study, because she didn't want to cause more storms.

But her remarks still made Mrs. Zhou very unhappy, and said dissatisfiedly: "I asked you to accompany Ryan to dinner, but you didn't go in?" Why? Do you dislike him? Hate him? Afraid of him? Mrs. Zhou's continuous questioning, the corners of her eyes revealed an aggressive momentum.

"No...... It's Ryan...... Wouldn't want to see me. Mei Ruojun explained.

"He doesn't want to see you?" A mean sneer appeared at the corner of Mrs. Zhou's mouth, and said, "Hehe, with your appearance, to be honest, a man would be willing to see you." The question is whether you are willing to be a good wife and be patient and dedicated to your husband? ”

Mrs. Zhou's evaluation of her appearance did not make Mei Ruojun feel a trace of joy, she could hear that there was a thorn in her words, she could hear that her mother-in-law was sarcastic about her, Mei Ruojun felt very sad, she really didn't know what she had to do to gain a foothold in the Zhou family, and her mother-in-law's cold words made her feel very aggrieved, she bit her lower lip, held back her tears, and secretly took a breath and said, "I am willing." ”

Mrs. Zhou stood up and glanced at her coldly, walked to the window, looked out the window and said, "Don't say anything against your will." I'm also a woman, and I know that women want to marry a handsome and healthy young man, but Ryan isn't. So even if you don't, I won't be surprised. It's just ......" Mrs. Zhou turned her head to look at Mei Ruojun and said: "We women have to accept our fate, marry chickens and dogs, and marry dogs from the beginning, understand?" ”

Mrs. Zhou's words were very straightforward and sharp, and Mei Ruojun didn't know what to say except for nodding.

Mrs. Zhou also felt tired, the marriage of her two sons had already made her nervous, sighed and waved her hand and said, "You go back." ”

Mei Ruojun followed her mother-in-law downstairs and was about to say goodbye to her mother-in-law, but Mrs. Zhou called Yanxi and ordered: "Yanxi, you go to the hall and tell the second young master to let him go back to the house to sleep." Otherwise, the child's stubborn temper must have knelt until dawn. ”

Yanxi was ordered to go out, and Mei Ruojun also saluted her mother-in-law and walked out of Yilan Xiaozhu.

Every night when Mrs. Zhou finished copying the scriptures and walked out of Yilan Xiaozhu, it was the time when Mei Ruojun felt the most relaxed, and she felt more and more that everything she did in Zhou's house was like an inescapable task, only a little time before going to bed, and there was time to breathe.

She looked at the figure of Yanxi walking towards the front yard, and the worry in her heart involuntarily rose, he was punished to kneel, he was beaten, her heart was tight, why was he so stupid? Why so stubborn?

If she doesn't know his mind, then she's wood and stone, but even if she does, what? He has only an uncle and sister-in-law in his two lives, no one can change it, he will get married sooner or later, if he wants to get married, Cheng Jiaqi is the best choice, why should he resist so much? She lowered her head and walked slowly to the gate of the chrysanthemum garden, she hid behind the doorway, wanting to wait for Ruikang to pass by, and quietly see if he was injured and whether he was safe?

After a long time, I saw Yanxi walking over quickly and walking towards Yilan Xiaozhu, but he didn't see Ruikang's figure. Mei Ruojun wondered in her heart, could it be that he was still making a temper and losing his temper, so he had to kneel until dawn?

After another ten minutes, Mei Ruojun thought that Ruikang must have a stubborn temper, and planned to really kneel all night, even more deeply, what if the night cold entered the body and got sick? The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, the more anxious she became, but she still decided to go to the hall and persuade him to hurry back to his room to sleep.

She walked quickly along the small stone road, walked out, who knows, as soon as she turned, she saw him standing under the moonlight, rubbing his hands on his face, and sighing at the moon, four or five meters away, both of them were stunned, her sudden appearance made him very surprised, his mood was very complicated, a thousand words wanted to say nothing, the two looked at each other awkwardly for a few minutes, a very tacit understanding of one to the east, one to the west, leaving the garden.
