Chapter 15: The Chan Family
"Meiniang, how can I be willing to let Chang'er be a black household who will not see the light for a lifetime? He is my Gu man, and he will inherit the big long house in the future, so he naturally wants to enter my Gu family openly. But this matter is still urgent, the genealogy is not in my hands, in the ancestral hall of the long house, if you want Chang'er to go to the genealogy, I am afraid that I will have to get the consent of the old lady to open the ancestral hall. I'm afraid there are still a lot of twists and turns, after following me for so long, are you afraid? Gu Lichi looked at the flower-like Chen in his arms and said slowly.
Somehow, Gu Lichi suddenly sighed and hugged the Chen family in his arms tighter and tighter.
"Master, the beautiful girl is not afraid. In the past, when I was in the countryside, the beautiful lady washed and sewed the pulp, dug the ground and planted vegetables, and never did any dirty work. If it weren't for the early death of the beautiful girl's father, and the elder brother would be an unsuccessful person, he was idle all day long, and after losing all the acres of fertile land left by his father, he made a bet with others, and lost the beautiful girl to Changchun Building, and became a singer who accompanied people to laugh. No matter how beautiful the girl says, she was born in a serious family. ”
As Chen spoke, tears fell uncontrollably like golden beans, drenching most of Gu Lichi's clothes.
"It's the beautiful lady who has affected the master, and the old man has been displaced, and he can't return to his home, so you let the beautiful girl go! Let Meiniang take Chang'er away, so that the master will not worry about Meiniang and Chang'er's affairs. Chen cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, but he wanted to break free from Gu Lichi and stand up.
Gu Lichi held Chen's hand and didn't let her stand up.
"Meiniang, why are you doing this? We have all arrived in Chengjiang, we have gone through so many ups and downs together, how can I be willing to let you and Chang'er leave me? Don't worry, I believe that it won't be long before I will carry a sedan chair to welcome you into the house and let you be my eldest wife. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Lichi picked up a piece of cherry crisp on the small table next to him and brought it to Chen's mouth, Chen was about to speak, Gu Lichi stuffed the cherry crisp whole into her mouth, causing Chen to be speechless for a while, after swallowing the cherry crisp, Chen drank half a glass of water before temporarily pressing it down.
After Chen wiped the crumbs of the cherry crisp off his mouth, a little maid wearing a cyan bibi came to report, "Master, madam, uncle is here again, this time by name and said that he wanted to see Mrs. The lord has instructed that if the uncle comes again, let us take the broom and drive it out. But before the slaves and maids could take the brooms, the uncle had already rushed in......"
"Where have people come now?" Gu Lichi picked up a piece of almond crisp on the small table, broke it into two pieces, and gave a piece to his mouth, obviously indifferent to this matter.
The little maid looked nervous, she was new, and she didn't go through anything, so she had to tell the truth: "The inner courtyard is guarded by the mother-in-law, and the uncle didn't rush in, but the uncle went to the kitchen, and after taking a braised chicken and two plates of peanuts, he ordered the slaves and maids to take the master's flower carving, and now they are eating and drinking alone in the front hall, but Zhao's mother has already tied up the uncle and didn't let him continue to make trouble." ”
"He doesn't see him at all, he really takes this place as his home, master, why don't you call a few mothers-in-law with more strength, knock him out and throw him out, so you don't have to stay in the house and continue to give him food and drink for nothing." Chen stood up, raised his hand and was about to order someone to call the mother-in-law on the stove.
"Meiniang, don't be so anxious, since this time the eldest brother named and asked Meiniang to go out to see him, it is okay for Meiniang to go out to meet him, talk to the eldest brother, don't run here in three days, be careful that I will send him to the official mansion, and then hand him a message, and let a few jailers give him a discount and then throw it out to feed the dogs." Gu Lichi said lightly to Chen while eating the almond crisp on the small table.
Don't think that he doesn't know if he's not at home all day Chen's brother Chen Sanshun ran here twice in three days, every time he didn't let anyone say hello, he went on a rampage, and went to the kitchen to eat whatever he saw, like a person who hadn't eaten for a few days, so scared that the master in the kitchen didn't sleep well for a few days and nights.
If the Chen family is determined to let him not get in, with the few nurses he invited, Chen Sanshun, a powerless person, will be thrown out directly.
Gu Lichi was also blaming the Chen family for not breaking off with Chen Sanshun, and breaking the thread, so that Chen Sanshun ran to his mansion once or twice to make trouble
"There you go! Go and go back quickly, if he refuses to leave, bring a few Lianjiazi to the nursing home and beat him until he leaves. If he dares to do this next time, he will be stunned and sent to the yamen. "It's rare for the Chen family to see Gu Lichi speak so violently.
He has always been gentle and spoiled by her, and he has rarely spoken so harshly to her, but this time it is the first time.
After arriving at the front hall, Chen saw a group of mothers-in-law and maids standing under the verandah, watching Chen's brother tied to a bamboo chair in the front hall. When the maid saw that Chen was coming, they all panicked, a few sharp-eyed ones had quietly slipped away, and the remaining few who did not react enough, after the salute, they also quickly dispersed.
After a few moments, the entire corridor was empty.
Chen walked slowly down the stone stairs to the front hall, and saw his brother being tied to a bamboo chair, and on the round table in front of him were a half-eaten braised chicken and a scattered table of peanuts and half a bottle of Huadiao that had not yet been drunk.
"Chen Meiniang, you don't have long eyes, haven't you seen your brother being tied up here? Why don't you hurry up and untie your brother? You have no conscience, do you think that if you become Gu Lichi's outer room, you can be the eldest wife of the Gu family? You think too much, do you think Gu Lichi is looking down on you? He's looking at that child, and without that child, you're an outroom in the hall. ”
Although there was still a distance away, Chen Sanshun obviously couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and poured out all of it at once, scolding Chen for a long time.
"Shut up! What are you talking nonsense about? Aren't you here to ask for money? How much money do you want, I'll give it to you, just ask you to take this money and roll away for me, don't let me see you again, I feel sick when I see you. As Chen spoke, he walked into Chen Sanshun, directly grabbed a handful of peanuts on the table, and stuffed them into Chen Sanshun's mouth.
"Don't you like to eat? I'll let you eat enough at once! Come on, stuff the half of the braised chicken and the pot of wine on the table into Chen Sanshun's mouth. This time, I'll let you eat enough so that you can honestly close your mouth. Chen said, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he turned his head and instructed the maid behind him.
She continued to look at Chen Sanshun with a frightened face, and gradually sneered.
The little maid was obviously frightened by Chen's sudden move, hesitated for a moment, and finally grabbed the half of the braised chicken on the table and walked towards Chen Sanshun. Chen Sanshun also seemed to be stimulated, and his body couldn't stop moving, kicking everything around him that could be kicked away.
The table, chair and bench were swept in front of the little maid at once, and she was so frightened that she didn't catch the half of the braised chicken in her hand, and the braised chicken flew out at once.
"Ask your wife for forgiveness, ask your wife for forgiveness, Cuiyan didn't mean it, Cuiyan didn't mean it." The little maid Cuiyan hurriedly knelt down and kept kowtowing in the direction of Chen. She knew that her master was not a good master, and if she was displeased, she was afraid that she would torture people and lose a layer of skin.
Chen Sanshun looked at the little maid who was still kowtowing, and said with a smile: "I think you were like her, crying and begging me like this by my side, thinking that I would find a way to redeem you from Changchun Tower, could it be that you forgot it so quickly?"
"Chen Sanshun, you are a pickled goods, Hugh mentioned those things before, if it weren't for the bet you made with others, would I have been sold to Changchun Building? You are an uncompetitive guy, if your father and mother are still alive, you may be angry to death. I'll clean up the portal for my dad now! Chen pointed to Chen Sanshun, who was tied, and he was already scolding regardless of his identity and status.
"If it weren't for you eloping with your lover, how could your father and mother die? I think my father and mother were angry to death, and you were angry with your father and mother, do you still want to kill me? Chen Sanshun looked at Chen, who was so angry that he was in a cold sweat, and suddenly laughed.
