Chapter 192
Zhang's mansion was harmonious, but Zhou Hua was making a lot of trouble, and she didn't know what ecstasy she had in, but she felt that Zhang Ergongzi would divorce his wife and marry her again.
"Don't be whimsical, what is the origin of his wife? I just gave birth to a sister-in-law, why should people divorce her and marry you again? "The Qin family was almost stupid to cry by his daughter.
"His wife is jealous, what Zhang Gongzi told me personally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he was ready to divorce her and marry me." Zhou Hua swore an oath, and came to Qin's side to plead: "Mother, just let me out, Zhang Gongzi can't find me these days, so he must be in a hurry." ”
"Ah Hua," Qin said earnestly, "If he really had a heart, he should have come to look for you a long time ago, why hasn't he moved for so many days?" ”
"Mother!" Zhou Hua stomped his feet angrily, "He must have been delayed by something, you just let me go out to have a look, haven't you always hoped that I can marry a wishful man?" Zhang's family has a big business, if I can really marry Zhang Ergongzi, you and your father will have light on their faces, right? ”
"That second son Zhang is lustful by nature, what kind of wishful husband is it?" Qin's face turned cold directly: "He's just coaxing you to be happy, you might as well die of this heart." Your father and I are already looking for someone for you, so you stay at home these days and take care of your temperament. ”
Although the Qin family behaved toughly, in the face of his iron-hearted daughter, his hair was really worried.
"She's still so unwilling to give up?" Seeing Qin come out, Li Zheng hurriedly asked.
"Hey." Qin sighed.
Li Zheng understood when he heard it, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's all because you are spoiled on weekdays." ”
"What's the use of talking about that now?" Qin Shi glared at him angrily, "It's better to set up someone for her as soon as possible." ”
Li Zheng nodded: "It's almost done, and then you can make a decision after discussing it, you are optimistic about her these days." ”
"Is it the second son of the Wang family?" Qin asked.
Li Zheng nodded: "The Wang family is also considered to be a wealthy family in our village, plus that Xiao Langjun grew up with us, and he knows the roots, Ah Hua will not suffer if he marries her." ”
Qin Shi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.
However, when Zhou Hua heard that her parents were going to promise herself to the second son of the Wang family, she was furious, smashed a lot of things, and refused to marry.
Li Zheng and his wife's sad hair turned white, and the people in the family took turns to fight, and after a lot of good words, Zhou Hua just refused to marry, and said that if she was forced again, she would find a rope and hang herself.
Liuli came to the door again at this time, she came to give Zhou Hua the last month's silver money: "Ah Hua is in a hurry, I didn't have time to receive it, this is the share of this month's silver money and the full moon banquet, you take it." ”
Li Zheng and his wife were a little embarrassed: "My Ah Hua has caused so much trouble to Erniang, how can I ask for your silver money again?" ”
"One yard to one yard," Liuli said, "Ah Hua has done the work, so she deserves these silver coins." As he spoke, he shoehorned the silver money into the Qin family.
The Qin clan didn't have the heart to look at the amount of money, so he kicked it into his sleeve casually, sighing.
"What? Ah Hua still refuses to give up? Ruri asked.
"I don't know what evil this girl has fallen into, and I decided that the second son of Zhang will divorce the current lady to marry her, and the eight horses can't be pulled back." Qin's face was full of sadness, and his heart was simply broken.
Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Liuli looked at each other like this, a little unbearable, and simply said the new news: "I heard a few days ago that the second son of the Zhang family has a new concubine room, and it is the girl next to his wife, who is very young and beautiful. ”
"Is that true?" Qin's eyes lit up.
Liuli nodded, "Auntie will find out when I go to the city and inquire." ”
Originally, Liuli didn't know about such trivial matters in the inner house, but now the trouble is known all over the city, thanks to Mrs. Ding's obstruction.
Xiao Shunzi obeyed her order, first went to agitate Zhang Ergongzi, and then spread the news. At the beginning, the people who heard it were really disdainful, and they also had ideas about Liuli and the little ladies she brought to the flower banquet.
Who knew that within a few days, the party personally came out to refute the rumors, there is nothing at all, the second son of Zhang and his wife are good, for fear of the loneliness of the second son, when the second husband Zhang was pregnant and gave birth, he was even more virtuous to give the girl around him to his husband, which was the most considerate.
"I've seen that girl too", Mrs. Sun said to Mrs. Wang: "Mo Zhou is handsome, she is a natural beauty, and there are such beautiful concubines by the side of the second son of Zhang, where can she look down on a country girl?" ”
"But I see that this news has a nose and eyes, so it won't be groundless, right?" Mrs. Wang was puzzled.
"I heard that the first to spread the news was Ding Mansion, and you also know that the shopkeeper of Ding Ji Restaurant switched to Song Ji, and now Ding Ji's business is cold, I think Mrs. Ding is angry, so she ...... it."
Mrs. Wang suddenly realized: "No wonder, I just said that this little lady Song eats delicious food, and whether it is a person, the people under her will never do such a thing." ”
"No, my family has to eat the pastries of the Song Kee restaurant every day, and Wan'er often praises her in front of me." Mrs. Sun said with a smile.
Mrs. Wang nodded, and then said with some disdain: "Speaking of which, this Mrs. Dingfu is too small-bellied, and this kind of unpopular means is really out of style." ”
"Not really." Mrs. Sun nodded, "But what kind of person is she Ding Liu, we all know that Master Ding married him, and he deserves to be thin." ”
"It's also ......" The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Mrs. Ding stealing chickens and rice is not a person, not only did she not mess up Liuli's business, but also made her own reputation stink.
"What about the girl surnamed Zhou?" She wondered if she could get a shot at this girl.
"Xiao Shunzi inquired, she seems to be preparing to get married." The personal girl said respectfully.
Soon after Liuli came to the door last time and told the Qin family the news, Zhou Hua gave up and finally agreed to marry.
Naturally, there has been trouble, but what if you are unwilling? After all, it was unladylike to meet someone, and Zhou Hua had to recognize the true face of Zhang Ergongzi and compromise to marry.
For this reason, Li Zheng and his wife also came to the door to thank Liuli.
"Humph!" Mrs. Ding snorted coldly, "Cheap that girl." ”
"Madame, don't be angry", the maid persuaded, "Fortunately, the master is coming back, when the time comes, our master will make a move, are you afraid that you won't be able to cure Song Liuli?" ”
"Hmm."
Ding Wentao first went to Beijing to personally send the New Year's gift and filial piety to the adult, and after staying for a while, he went all the way south to Jinling to purchase a batch of goods, and then was invited by an old friend to stay for a while.
He only received news from home two months ago, saying that the child in Aunt Xiang's womb was gone, and he planned to leave for him immediately, but Mrs. Ding wrote to persuade him, saying that Hongxiang was fine, and he would take care of her.
When things were finally dealt with, and it was almost September, Master Ding finally returned to Ding's mansion.
When I left, I was full of joy, I thought that when I came back, the child in Hongxiang's belly would be able to move, but I didn't expect it...... Master Ding was worried in his heart, so he didn't go to see Hongxiang immediately when he returned to Ding's mansion.
Mrs. Ding was naturally happy, and talked a lot with Master Ding.
"The child in the belly of the red fragrance...... What the hell is going on? Master Ding couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Ding was stunned for a moment, and then showed a very sad look: "I thought she had eaten something by herself, but I didn't expect it to be intentional by the second aunt." ”
"Second aunt?"
"Yes," Mrs. Ding nodded, "the second aunt was arrested by the government for putting the money in the seal, and I mentioned this matter to the master in the letter." It's just that she didn't dare to tell the master that the child in Hongxiang's womb was also deliberately framed by her. ”
"What? Why did she do this? Master Ding was very surprised.
"I didn't expect the second aunt to do such a thing, if she hadn't said it in a hurry, I'm afraid we would still be in the dark", Mrs. Ding said sadly, "I think about it, the second aunt should have lost a child in the early years, so I hold a grudge. ”
Ding Wentao is shrewd and capable in business, but he doesn't understand the twists and turns between women, Mrs. Ding said this, and he believed it: "Over the years, I haven't seen that the second aunt is such a person." ”
"It's just that I pity Sister Hongxiang", Mrs. Ding cried, "In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant." ”
"What?" Master Ding was taken aback again.
Mrs. Ding covered her face with a handkerchief, and dropped two crocodile tears, her face was very sad and sad: "Diao slave bullied the master, it was Lai's mother who was unwell at that time, so she called the doctor, but she delayed Hongxiang's diagnosis and treatment, but I didn't expect it to harm Hongxiang's sister for the rest of her life......"
"How unreasonable!" Master Ding was furious, "What about Diao slave, can it be disposed of?" ”
"Don't worry, master, it's been dealt with early." Mrs. Ding hurriedly said, "It's just Aunt Xiang's body, but it's not getting better." ”
"Oh, that's it! That's it! Master Ding sighed repeatedly, but he didn't say anything after all, nor did he mention going to see Hongxiang.
"Master, do you want to go and see Aunt Xiang?" Mrs. Ding asked tentatively.
"That's it, you can't get the child back if you go, and it's still sad in vain, so why bother?" Master Ding sighed.
Mrs. Ding pursed her lips, and there was an imperceptible reassurance in her eyes.
She has been with Master Ding for so many years, so she naturally knows what kind of person he is, to put it bluntly - a businessman, the kind who can't afford to be unprofitable.
After so many years, Master Ding's greatest wish is to have a few more children, Chenghuan knees. Therefore, the aunt accepted room after room, if he said how obsessed he was with beauty, it was not, but after a period of time, if the aunt had no children, Master Ding would no longer be happy.
Therefore, even though Mrs. Ding knew that Hongxiang's body was likely to improve, she still told Master Ding that it would be difficult for Hongxiang to have children, so that Hongxiang would not have the greatest value in Master Ding.
However, the reason why Mrs. Ding has left the red fragrance until now naturally has her plans.
"Master, master, can you know that Song Liuli opened a restaurant by herself, and also got our Ding Ji's shopkeeper Zhou and Master Tao to her."
As soon as he mentioned this, Master Ding was a little angry: "It's not your good plan, but now it's good." ”
"Sir, is this blaming me for not doing things well?" Mrs. Ding said aggrieved.
Master Ding frowned and did not speak.
"I have successfully obtained the recipe for the fruit dan peel and cake, but the shopkeeper Zhou has always been to Song Liuli, you don't know, sir, in order not to ask me to get the recipe, he took the initiative to resign as the big shopkeeper, I thought that I would invite people back later, but I didn't expect him to turn his head and vote for Song Liuli, and also helped Song Ji Restaurant suppress our Ding Ji."
"Shopkeeper Zhou has been with me for many years, and he is not such a person." Regarding business matters, Master Ding still sees it clearly.
"Does the lord believe that she doesn't believe me?" Mrs. Ding cried aggrievedly, "Who am I working so hard for?" Don't you want our Ding family to be good, now the master would rather believe an outsider than me, and we will go back to our parents' house tomorrow. ”
Master Ding had a headache and hurriedly slowed down his voice: "Look at what you said, when did I say I didn't believe you?" ”
Seeing that Mrs. Ding still looked sad, she immediately added: "What Mrs. said is reasonable, and the shopkeeper Zhou is always oriented to outsiders." ”
"Hmph~" Mrs. Ding snorted, which was considered to be a step down for each other: "If he hadn't planned it earlier, how could Song Ji Restaurant have a prosperous business as soon as it opened, then Song Liuli still had a lot of snacks to eat and never revealed it, I'm afraid that the two of them had already discussed, once the shopkeeper Zhou got out, they would partner up to open a new restaurant." ”
Mrs. Ding has a mouth, but she can really say that the black is white, and Master Ding still believes it.
The main thing is that Mrs. Ding gave birth to his only son, it doesn't matter if there is no Ding Liu, but Master Ding definitely can't do without a son.
"Madame has a point." Master Ding is as good as a stream, anyway, now that things have happened, why not follow her.
Mrs. Ding was satisfied, and smiled again: "Actually, the master doesn't have to worry, Hongxiang is still in our house, she and Liuli have always been friends, why don't you let Hongxiang come forward and ask Song Liuli to hand over the new recipe?" ”
Master Ding shook his head: "Fang Zi is the lifeblood of Song Ji's business, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to obtain." ”
"Master doesn't know, then Song Liuli treats us Hongxiang like a sister, if Hongxiang is willing to come forward, it will be twice the result with half the effort, besides, let's not take her recipe in vain, let me try it." Mrs. Ding was full of confidence.
Master Ding finally nodded, it doesn't matter if he tries it or not, there will be no loss anyway.
In the backyard of Ding's house, Hongxiang knew that Master Ding was back, and she had been eagerly looking forward to it since the first day, but the days passed, and Master Ding never came to see her, and Hongxiang's heart sank day by day.
I was thinking about whether to go to the front yard to find someone, but I heard that my wife sent someone to pass the word, saying that she wanted to see her.
