Everyone was very busy in the New Year, but Chen, as the new daughter-in-law, was not too busy. Old Madam Chu only lasted for two days, and the guests felt impatient, and returned to live in the courtyard of Xiaochu.

She is old, her ears are back, her eyes are a little flowery, and she lives next to her favorite grandson, and Mrs. Chu likes it the most. Second Lady Chu and Third Lady Chu muttered behind their backs together: "There are good things, and they are all in Huaixian's hands." ”

I muttered that there was no way to do this fait accompli. The Chen family comes from a large population, and their attitude towards this matter is the same as that of the second and third ladies of Chu.

Even Chen's girl also said to Chen behind her back: "The young lady is a scheming person. "The Chen family is exposed, if there is no scheming, how did he get the eldest uncle Chu Huaixian into his hands, and that's it, there is no one in the room.

I didn't have it before, I gave birth to a few children, and according to the ancient rules, I should find a young concubine for my husband. There were also those who had many children in ancient times, and those who could not give birth to them also sought concubines for their husbands.

Chen herself thought so, but it was only her own thoughts. She was still satisfied with Chu Huaide, and when she returned to the door of the three dynasties, she praised Chu Huaide to her mother's family.

When the first month is approaching, the weather is always fine. Mrs. Chu sat under the porch every day to bask in the sun, and Brother Yu and Brother Ji always ran under the porch to accompany her.

On this day, Brother Yu got a good lantern, brought Brother Ji to show his great-grandmother, and said, "I'll show my little sister." ”

As soon as she woke up in the room, she stared at the lantern with her dark eyes, and stretched out her hand. Brother Yu couldn't dodge, stomped his feet and said "oops", and his sister's little hand had already broken a piece.

When the elder brother's fang said "oops", the younger sister said "wow" and cried. Brother Ji, who was accompanying Mrs. Chu outside, said proudly: "As soon as the eldest brother enters, the younger sister will cry, and I have to coax her." ”

I said that I was going to go in, but I saw that my great-grandmother was still smiling, but she didn't move. The girls next to them also felt that something was wrong, and when they came to take a look, saliva flowed from the corners of Mrs. Chu's mouth, and she was already a little dizzy and speechless.

Hurry up and carry Old Madam Chu into the room, and then let people go to find Mrs. Chu and the others. Asked the doctor to come and see it, saying that he was old, and said bluntly: "If you like to eat, eat it, the coffin can be arranged." ”

The coffin was arranged early, and Mrs. Chu sent the doctor away with a sad heart, and took her son and brother to wait in front of Mrs. Chu's bed day and night.

Although Mrs. Chu and Xiao Chu, who were housekeepers, were not always in front of the bed, they were also so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. The second lady took the Chen family, and the third lady took her sons, and they were always on guard.

After a few days, Mrs. Chu rarely had a moment of sobriety, so she asked everyone in the family to call her and assigned them one by one: "My things, this one box, are for the third child; This one box, for the second child. ”

The second and third masters thanked them with tears, although the mother-in-law in front of them was an eccentric person, she was not like some housewives in the family, she was a bad-hearted person. In this life, Mrs. Chu was partial to herself, of course, she gave birth to the eldest son, and she was also angry.

The eccentric old lady Chu said seriously, in other households, she has never treated the second and third masters badly, but she never gave them more.

Compared to the bad-hearted housewife, this is already a rare good person.

The second and third masters usually have resentment in their hearts, and when they saw that Old Madam Chu was still thinking about them when they were dying, they were crying on the ground. Old Mrs. Chu also shed tears: "Second brother, in your life, you rely on your eldest brother, you can rest assured, when you are old, your eldest brother will take care of you." ”

This sentence tells the truth of the second master's life. He was reluctant at times, but it was true.

"Third child, you have been lifted, you are going to go out of Beijing to become an official, I stopped you. I'm old and scared to leave at any time, but now I feel that I am not far away, you are all in front of me, I like it. Don't worry, I won't last long, wait for me to go, let Huaixian give you a good official. When Old Madam Chu said this, her eyes searched for her favorite grandson, Chu Huaixian.

Chu Huaixian stepped forward to support Mrs. Chu and responded, "Yes." He also said to the third master: "Third uncle, don't be in a hurry, it's okay to stop and leave Beijing again." ”

Master Chu San couldn't stop crying: "I don't go out of Beijing, I still stay at home comfortably." "Staying in this home, everybody has everybody's philosophy of survival. But you don't have to worry about food and clothing, it's true.

"Where's the granddaughter-in-law?" Old Mrs. Chu looked for Xiao Chu again, and Mrs. Chu hurriedly pushed Xiao Chu up: "Here." Old Mrs. Chu took Xiao Chu's hand, looked at the emerald ring on her hand and said, "This ring can only be given to Brother Yu's daughter-in-law." ”

Xiao Chu promised: "Yes." Old Mrs. Chu looked for her great-grandson again: "The remaining boxes are divided into four parts, one for Brother Yu and one for Brother Ji, you are good, brother don't talk to brother again, brother don't talk back to brother again." There are also two parts, one for Xiangzhi and one for Lianqing, the girl grows up and wants to get married, and she can't do it without a private house in her hand. ”

Second Mrs. Chu also choked up and came over and agreed: "Xiang Zhi will come," Xiang Zhi also waited for a few days before going back to rest. Old Madam Chu crooked on the pillow and smiled, and looked at Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu again: "You also have grandchildren and granddaughters, so I am relieved." Brother Yu grew up to be a top household, what about Brother Ji, I have to listen to it. ”

Mrs. Chu hurriedly said: "Brother Ji is learning kung fu, and he wants to be a general in the future." Brother Ji patted his chest: "I must be the victorious general." ”

Old Madam Chu smiled, and then looked at Chu Huaide and Chen: "There are a few treasures that your grandfather loved when he was here, a few of you, and two of your brother and brother." Aunt Kong in the second room is about to give birth, whether it is a man or a woman, she will also leave two pieces. ”

Among them, there are only no Chu Taifu and Chu Huaixian. This home was attacked by Mrs. Chu, Chu Huaixian grew up, and there was no year when Mrs. Chu didn't give him things piecemeal. And the largest share was also divided between his three children and Xiang Zhi, so no one was surprised that there was no Chu Huaixian.

Second Master Chu burst into tears, and Xiang Zhi took a lot of it, because she was a girl, she had to have private money in her hand. It was not born in Aunt Kong's belly, and Mrs. Chu also kept a copy.

Sometimes it seems that Old Madam Chu is not an eccentric person.

At this time, Mrs. Chu pulled Chu Huaixian and Xiao Chu to talk, and said to Xiao Chu first: "My son, if you marry into such a family, you have to cherish your blessings." He couldn't take his eyes off Chu Huaixian and confessed: "Your parents are old, you have to honor them; Your second uncle has no official position, and you have to take care of them; Your third uncle will take a career in the future, you have to take it to heart. ”

This is what the eldest prince of Chu needs to do because his family has high hopes for him.

After saying these words, Old Madam Chu was satisfied, leaned on the pillow and said weakly: "I'm tired, you all go." Chu Huaixian came out and discussed with his father: "Maybe you can wear a shroud." ”

Mrs. Chu couldn't bear it, putting on a shroud was equivalent to reminding him that his mother was not far away, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Wait a little longer, this day is getting warmer and warmer, and maybe you can get through it." ”

Survive the cold winter, this spring, it should be easy to survive.

Chu Huaide had other thoughts, he looked at Old Madam Chu's appearance, and found Chu Huaixian to whisper: "Big brother, if grandmother goes, Aunt Lou won't be able to enter the door for another three years, so let's bring her in now." ”

This is not Aunt Lou's idea, but Chu Huaide's mind just now, Chu Huaide thought about it and had no other way, sighed: "But you can't make a big show, you can only be wronged and she can be carried in quietly, and come over and kowtow to grandmother." ”

"Thank you, big brother," Chu Huaide likes this enough, he is a young man, and the Chen family wants to be a good wife. Chu Huaide was not at all, and he didn't expect what the Chen family would think.

This family affair has become impossible to run, and if you talk about virtue, you should not be jealous.

Chu Huaixian went back to Mrs. Chu, and Mrs. Chu comforted Chu Huaixian in turn: "I look at Huaide, there will be no shortage of bastards in the future, you have to be prepared first." ”

Mrs. Chu has always been unhappy with Chu Huaide doing such a thing. Don't say anything indecent, don't do anything indecent. Chu Huaide's matter is all rude.

Chu Huaide, who was excited, was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited his father, who was guarding in Mrs. Chu's room, to come out, told him about the matter, and then said: "The dowry of the Lou family is no less than that of the Chen family. Their family is a merchant and has money, and they say that they don't fight with me, and let my sister bring good things, just ask her to be at home, and everyone is good. ”

When the second master of Chu heard that the eldest brother and Chu Huaixian agreed, and heard that the dowry of the Knowles entering the door was only a lot more than that of the Chen family, he was grateful, and said to Chu Huaide: "No matter what time it is, it is the best person in your own family." ”

The second lady of Chu sneered when she heard it, and said to the third lady: "I can't see it, he is one on the left and one on the right." The third lady was funny: "Congratulations to the second sister-in-law, in the future, if you add grandchildren, one will be two, if both of them have doubles, one will be four." ”

Turning her eyes, the third lady scolded the third master: "No wonder my mother doesn't love you and the second brother, look at what kind of virtue you are, and then look at the virtue born by the second brother, what kind of virtue you are!" ”

Master Chu San was extremely puzzled: "Huaide? He actually has such a ability. He said to the third lady who was still with apricot eyes wide open: "You don't have to scold, according to me, Huaide can have this beautiful blessing, and it will be the same for a good brother in the future." The third lady took a sip: "My son wants to be a scholar like Huaixian, not like Huaide." The second brother can only boast, and the daughter-in-law is from everyone. It's good if the son can be an official, what's the use of a daughter-in-law coming from everyone! ”

Mrs. Chu, who has always been at odds with Mrs. Chu, found another one in the second room.
