Sixty-three: Scoundrel
"If I were like her, I would have been angry with her." Qin Manhuai sighed helplessly, "Okay, it's late at night, you go back quickly, pay attention to safety, Qiuxia, find someone to send the two girls back." ”
The next day was a good day for Su Jingyao to return home, and the whole family should be happy, but because of the arrival of the Zhu family, there were many emotions mixed in this happiness.
The old lady got up early and changed into a long dress with a jade-colored printed dark gold bamboo leaf pattern, her hair was simply curled into a bun, and a green pattern eight-treasure hairpin was inserted.
A few girls and brothers went to Chang Xizhai to greet the old lady first, and it was rare for people in the big house and the second room to come, except for Liu He.
After inviting An, everyone used some tea and fruits, and waited for Su Jingyao to come back.
"For a while, Jing'er's mother-in-law doesn't take anything seriously, she is like that, she doesn't take her heart when she says it, and whoever you provoke is not happy, just bear it." Qin Manhuai said.
The old lady also nodded, for the sake of Su Jingyao's life in her mother-in-law's house, she had no choice but to do so.
But others don't think so, Su Jingyao was not born and raised by them, so they won't feel sorry for her.
Like Cao Qianlian, she immediately said, "Didn't the eldest lady say this, didn't she stretch out the face of our Su family to beat others?" ”
"The second lady's words are not right, Zhu is a harder mouth in the end, she treats the second girl well after she is pregnant, you can't just look at her bad places, right?"
Cao Qianlian glanced at Qin Manhuai with disdain and turned his head away.
Yesterday, Su Yao rested in Yingxiaju again, otherwise she would not be as arrogant as today.
In bed at night, Cao Qianlian mentioned to Su Yao again about family affairs to Su Yuyao, and heard that Su Yao meant that she was already showing her family, Cao Qianlian had the intention to ask which family's sons they were, but Su Yao didn't say anything.
He only said, "Yu'er is my heart's meat, no one can bitter her, you can rest assured, I will carefully screen the candidates, find the right person, and the appearance and ability are not bad." ”
Cao Qianlian listened to the shyness of the smile, her little face turned red, she hugged Su Yao's neck and kissed his face, and said in a trembling voice, "Da Lang is the best, in the future, Yu'er will marry a good husband, it is all the credit of Da Lang!" ”
Seeing Cao Qianlian's radiant spirit today, the old lady guessed that her son must have promised her something, but today's important thing is that the second girl returns to the door, and she doesn't have time to pay attention to Cao Qianlian.
"After a while, my mother-in-law will come, and you will go back to your respective residences and don't come out, so as not to encounter anything wrong, there are me and the eldest lady here."
Cao Qianlian, Kang Jinglan, and Fang Li, Hu Zhirou, got up together and said yes.
When the carriage arrived at Su's house, it was almost noon, it was rare to be warmer today, it was cloudy for several days, and today it finally cleared, and the sun was lazily shining on everyone.
The old lady and the eldest lady were waiting in Chang Xizhai, and Su Jingyao was picked up by Mama Zhou and her maid.
Before he got out of the carriage, Zhu began to complain again and again, "The road is so difficult to walk, I have to come back at this time, I think I can't stand you in my last life, and I will be bullied by you in this life!" ”
Su Jingyao listened but didn't say anything, and was carefully helped down by the two maids.
Mama Zhou also heard what Zhu said, but the smile on her face didn't change at all, as if she hadn't heard it, and first saluted, "Hello Mrs. In-laws, the old lady is waiting inside." ”
Zhu raised his eyes and looked at the door of the Su family, and said angrily, "Your Su family is really decent, and when you see your in-laws, you will be sent to work like this?" It's a shame for me to spread it. ”
Mama Zhou smiled and said, "What Mrs. in-law said is right, it is really that the old lady is cold and has no bones, and the doctor said that it is not appropriate to go out to recuperate, and the eldest lady is waiting by her side and can't spare time." ”
"I'm also cold and tired, don't I also accompany Jing'er? At a glance, I know that your old lady doesn't care for Jing'er, it's better for me to be a mother-in-law who loves her! ”
That's what she said, she had to come along, didn't she? Su Jingyao didn't plan to let her accompany her.
Qinglian Bihe, who was beside the old lady, supported Su Jingyao left and right, replaced the maid beside her, and said, "The second girl is tired, right?" The old lady is looking forward to the second girl's return all day long, because when you come back, the old lady has eaten half a bowl of rice this morning! ”
Su Jingyao smiled rarely, and asked, "How is grandmother's health these days?" ”
"Okay, as long as the girl comes back to take a look, the old lady's body will be fine at all!" Bihe's mouth was very sweet, and she laughed at Su Jingyao in a few words.
However, the Zhu family on the side was reluctant again, and said sarcastically: "Listen to what you mean, Jing'er has to come back often?" What went wrong with her big belly, can you slaves and maidservants replace her? Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back! ”
The old lady didn't say a word in Chang Xizhai, just waited for the second girl and Zhu's to arrive, and before everyone entered Chang Xizhai's courtyard gate, the noisy voice came into the old lady's ears.
Qin Manhuai on the side poured her a cup of tea, and said with relief, "Jing'er is also back, don't be angry, let's look at the face of the second girl, which is different from the general knowledge of the Zhu family." ”
The old lady nodded, took a sip of tea.
Su Jingyao hasn't been back for a long time, no matter whether she has a big belly or not, she always has to ask An to salute, this is the etiquette of juniors.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Jingyao gently lifted her skirt and prepared to kneel.
Before the old lady and Qin Manhuai could stop them, the Zhu family was unwilling, and pulled Su Jingyao up, "Are you stupid?" You have a big belly now and I have saved you from even giving me a greeting, why do you go back to your parents' house and kneel? Can you afford to kneel down for my grandson! ”
came up with such a dismount, and the old lady's face immediately darkened.
Qin Manhuai said, "My mother-in-law is here, sit down quickly, the tea that has just been cooked." ”
Zhu didn't say much, let alone meet the old lady, so he sat on the chair with a big grin.
Su Jingyao noticed that her grandmother's face was gloomy, but she still barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and she didn't speak to Zhu, turned her face to look at Su Jingyao and asked, "Jing'er, how are you doing lately?" ”
Su Jingyao, who was originally standing on the side, didn't dare to be too intimate with the old lady, for fear that her mother-in-law would miss her, but when she heard her grandmother, who was thinking about her day and night, ask her if she was in good shape, she couldn't hold back any longer, tears instantly filled her eyes, and she took two quick steps and threw herself into the old lady's arms.
"Grandmother, granddaughter misses you!"
The old lady smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she had forgotten the person who displeased her on the side, her eyes narrowed kindly, and her palm gently rubbed Su Jingyao's back.
On the one hand, there are children who have not grown up, and on the other hand, there are old ladies who live more and more like children, and the grandparents and grandchildren are like this, so that everyone present is moved.
Mama Zhou felt happy from the bottom of her heart, the corners of her eyes were moist, and she wiped it with a handkerchief quietly.
"Get up and show Grandmother! Pregnant, right? What did the doctor say? ”
"The doctor said everything was fine!" Su Jingyao got up and stood up, spun around twice, and her slightly bulging lower abdomen made her movements look a little clumsy.
But the old lady smiled sincerely, and wiped away a few tears with a smile, and said incoherently, "Okay, good, everything is fine... It's done..."
Zhu looked at the scene of this filial son and grandson, not only was he moved, but also felt that it was very eye-catching, he cleared his throat and said, "The old lady of the in-laws, Jing'er and I have mentioned a few times that she wants to go back to her mother's house to have a look, we are all women, and we are all daughters-in-law of other people's families, I still don't understand this?" I really understand her homesickness, so I'll let her out today. ”
That's a little bit of a good idea.
But before he could say a few good words, the style of painting changed, and Zhu talked about something else.
"You also know the old lady of the in-laws, a woman's pregnancy is always in the ghost gate, and if you are not careful, it is easy to die twice, I have been looking forward to the grandson for so long and can't make mistakes, you know?"
Seeing that Zhu was about to stand up and talk to her grandmother, Su Jingyao hurriedly stopped her, helped her sit on a chair, and handed her a cup of tea.
And Zhu raised her hand and motioned her not to mix.
The old lady was silent with a gloomy face and continued to listen to what Zhu said.
"It's Yuanchun in a few days, it's a big festival, these rules and etiquette are cumbersome, I want to let Jing'er go back today, don't call her back if there is anything, it's not safe to bump on the road back and forth, and the old lady of the in-laws is not the kind of unsympathetic." Zhu's face slowly revealed, and he stood up and shouted with a shout, and his voice could be heard clearly outside the courtyard.
The old lady nodded after a long time, "After all, Jing'er is married to your ancient family, but she is so good that she is a girl from my Su family, and some filial piety etiquette must be observed. ”
If you say that you miss Su Jingyao, I'm afraid that the Zhu family will have to turn her face on the spot, and you may not be able to bully Su Jingyao when you go back.
It is most appropriate to take out the ancestors to suppress the Zhu family, and the ancient family should also honor the ancestors, and they should also worship on the pillar incense during the New Year's Festival.
It's not that the old lady wants to let the second girl come back, but the Zhu family has to intervene in this little thing, how can there be a place for Su Jingyao in the Gu family? Doesn't everything have to see Zhu's face and can't turn over?
When Zhu heard the words "Ancestor", his face still did not change and his heart did not beat, and he said to himself, "My ancient family also wants to worship the ancestor, Jing'er is not only the ancestor of your Su family, as the saying goes, the daughter who marries out spills the water, she is now my ancient family, what is running to her mother's house in three days?" ”
Such a scoundrel, living like a shrew in the countryside.
The old lady gasped angrily, Mama Zhou hurriedly patted her on the back, Qin Manhuai was just about to speak out and heard Zhu say again, "Mrs. in-laws, you don't have to say anything to me, I accompanied Jing'er today to give face to the old lady and the old lady of the in-laws, we are both equal and I don't look at your face, we are all daughters-in-law of the big family, we must take care of each other's dignity, don't continue to entangle here, spread the word and lose my people!" ”
Su Jingyao didn't expect her mother-in-law to be able to say this here, but she was anxious that tears fell, and she begged Zhu to stop talking.
