Chapter 53: Madame Jiang's Punishment
I don't know if Pei's is in a hurry, or Xiaoliu's is in a hurry, Mrs. Jiang San's speed is really fast, the Zhou family seriously invited Mrs. Jiang San to be a matchmaker, and came to the door to get Pei Erniang's Geng post to get married, and said that if the marriage is completed, he will send a 20,000 yuan marriage gift.
Pei Shi breathed a big sigh of relief, it was finally the road to the end, so that she would not be forced to death, so that her body would get better, she would no longer be dizzy and her chest hurt, and she could still eat and sleep.
Duran saw that she was well ill, so he was relieved and ordered someone to clean up and let the Jiang family's carriage come and take her back.
But the person who sent back to Jiang's house came back soon, but he didn't bring a carriage, but he brought back a sentence: "Madame has instructed, the Du family has a lot of affairs, and Madame is not in good health, so let the lady stay in the Du family to do her filial piety, and there is no need to go back for the time being." ”
What does that mean? Her in-laws didn't let her go back!
Du Lan's face turned white with fright, remembering the way Yu looked at her that day, with disgust in his sarcasm, he clearly made up his mind not to teach her to go back, this is to teach Jiang Dalang to divorce her?
She was so bluffed that she came to Pei Shi with a sad face, and Pei Shi was also startled: "Okay, why did you make a fuss?" What kind of demon is your mother-in-law? ”
Du Lanbei came from it and covered her face with a handkerchief: "She was afraid that she was annoyed with me because of the two hundred yuan, and she complained that I didn't give birth to her, and let Da Lang take a concubine, but I refused to agree, she already looked down on me, and now she ......"
Pei's family also panicked, her son and daughter are her biggest support, her son is Xie Yuanlang, and her daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, which makes her speak confidently in front of Du Kui, but now if her daughter is divorced by the Jiang family, then I am afraid it will become a joke.
She hurriedly said: "How can this be done, I will send someone to invite your mother-in-law over, and no matter how much trouble you have, you can't make the two families shameless." ”
She sent someone to the Jiang family to send a post, and cheered up herself to comfort Du Lan: "Your mother-in-law is a difficult person to serve, and you have only been married to the Jiang family for a few years, so where is it like this, not to mention that there are not a few people in the room, and there is no news, then it can't be said that it is Jiang Dalang's business, but he wants to learn from you." ”
Du Lan wiped his tears, and his heart was sour: "On the first day of this year, when she was worshipping her ancestors, in front of many people in the clan, she said that there would be a happy letter in the big lang's room this year, and she didn't care if she was a concubine, as long as she had it, she liked it." ”
A year ago, she also discussed with Da Lang that she wanted to tell the daughter of a distant cousin of the second aunt's family to Da Lang to be a concubine, and said that it was the blessing of a good man, if it wasn't for Da Lang who didn't listen to me, I was afraid that I would have been driven back a long time ago."
Pei's family was distressed when he heard this, but he could only sigh and persuade: "It's okay, when your grandfather comes back, I will let him talk to your father-in-law about it, these two families are not enemies, and your mother-in-law will not mess around." ”
"If it weren't for the Jiang family's family background, I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage, and the daughter of our Du family's house deserves to marry into Sima Mansion." Pei Shi also felt depressed, "If Lao Shangshu hadn't gone early, your marriage with San Lang wouldn't have been like this." ”
Duran choked back tears: "Xiao's merchant girl is still sick and crooked all day long, I serve the A family carefully every day, but I still have to be mean to her, where is there justice!" ”
Xiao Rongyue, who was being nagged by Duran, sneezed a little at this time, she frowned, and her ears were hot for no reason, who was talking about her?
However, she didn't take it to heart, but said to Guangdan: "Do you know how much food you will eat in the west cross courtyard of Chunhua Garden in the past few days?" ”
Du Kui went back to the Du clan two days ago, Aunt Dai lives in the West Cross Courtyard, and it is nothing on weekdays, Pei's and Aunt Dai's well water does not violate the river water, for Du Kui's sake, she doesn't pay much attention to her, but now the use of the house is suddenly tight, I am afraid that Pei's first operation is the West Cross Courtyard.
Guangdan replied in a soft voice: "Sister-in-law Ke said that the eldest lady has ordered, and now that the house is in trouble, all rooms and courtyards must be saved, and the lord of Dalang did not stay in the West Cross Courtyard to eat, and every meal over there will send a bowl of gruel and half a piece of Hu Cake over, not even a little meat." ”
Xiao Rongyue was speechless, the Pei family really dared to do it, even if she was not so harsh on the people in the house, she was taking the opportunity to clean up Aunt Dai! It seems that he has been holding a grudge against Aunt Dai for a long time.
She asked Zhuling curiously: "Have you inquired about the origin of this Aunt Dai?" ”
"It's still the mother-in-law who dots the flowers and trees in Chunhua Garden and said that this Aunt Dai is not from a serious background, she used to be inspired by the dance in the hundred opera troupe, or when she danced on the day of the society, she was favored by the lord of Dalang, and spent money to buy it and stay in the house, and later the lord of Dalang also carried her as a concubine."
Xiao Rongyue raised her eyebrows: "Is it a happy household or a good family?" ”
"It's still Lehu, I heard that the lord of Dalang wanted to release her a few years ago, but the eldest lady didn't agree, and it was a lot of trouble, so I had to give up in the end."
Then this Aunt Dai is afraid that she is also full of resentment against the Pei family, after all, she could have been a good family, but she had to bear the identity of Lehu, and anyone would be angry.
She smiled: "Go and send another five hundred yuan to Sister-in-law Ke, so that she can also pay attention to the food in the West Cross Courtyard these days, after all, she is also an aunt, and she can't be too harsh." Although it is the meaning of the eldest lady, if the lord of the eldest man comes back, I am afraid that it will not look good. ”
Zhuling is a clever person, Qingqing Shuangshuang agreed, and asked again: "Do you want Xicrossyuan to know that it was ordered by the lady?" ”
Xiao Rongyue looked at her with a little more satisfaction: "Let Sister-in-law Ke tell her the truth, you don't have to hide it from her." ”
This Aunt Dai is interesting, and there will be times when she will be useful in the future, so she might as well come and go now.
"Let people inquire about Aunt Dai's behavior and speech on weekdays, and pay more attention to the movements over there." Xiao Rongyue admonished.
Zhu Ling responded and retreated.
