Chapter 12: Jealousy

Zhou's tears flowed down, and his heart was still that the youngest son had filial piety, so it was in vain that I felt sorry for him.

Gently tucking the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, Zhou sighed: "I'm too old to walk that far." Besides, how can you give up this big family? Your father is still in Qingyang Town, if he wants to come back one day, there is no one in this mansion, wouldn't it hurt his heart again! I'm guarding this house, waiting for you to come back. ”

Jiang Hongsheng watched Zhou's tears, and couldn't help but shed tears. His mother has been very old recently, and her health is not as good as before, as a son, he sincerely wants his mother to go to Yangzhou to enjoy her old age.

Since Jiang Hongsheng can remember, his father has not come home often, and it is his mother who has single-handedly raised the two brothers. During those long nights, Jiang Hongsheng watched his mother go from green silk to white head alone.

Zhou sighed softly: "Your eldest brother is not as good as you, and my mother has to watch him for a few years, but I don't worry that you are alone outside, and there is no one who knows cold and hot." This heart is uncomfortably tight. ”

Jiang Hongsheng couldn't hear the deep meaning of his mother's words, and immediately said: "Mother, the Gu family will stay in the mansion and wait for you, let Xiuyue, Brother Yuan, and Sister Shan go to Yangzhou with me, what do you think?" ”

Zhou nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you can arrange it like this." Ah Xiu has been waiting for you all these years to do her best, and gave birth to a pair of children for you, without merit and hard work, although the amount of energy is a little smaller, but it does not lose its nature. Back then, if it weren't for your father's sideways, you and her childhood sweethearts, the right family, what a good marriage. It's just that there are more Gu families, and they really wronged this child. Fortunately, the Gu family is also considered to be in peace, and he is a smart person who does not quarrel or make trouble. ”

Jiang Hongsheng's face changed, and he coughed lightly to cover up the past.

Zhou Shi spoke to himself: "You only have two sons and two daughters under your knees, and these four young ladies are useless." This will come to Yangzhou, let me hold another grandson, even if it is filial piety to my mother. The Jiang family has always been thin, and your eldest brother only has one son in one room. The fragrant and smelly ones have been put into the house all these years, and they have already lost their bodies. I, I'm just pointing to you to open up more branches for the Jiang family. ”

Jiang Hongsheng's heart was extremely unnatural, but he said softly: "Mother worry less, only take care of her body, and wait to enjoy the blessings of her son in the future." ”

Zhou smiled: "I, I'm worried about my life for a lifetime." ”

After speaking, Zhou took out a few silver tickets from under the pillow and handed them to his son: "You take office immediately, up and down, there are many places to use money inside and outside, and these silver are used for use, not enough for your mother to have here." ”

Jiang Hongsheng glanced at it, and there were 10,000 taels.

Jiang Hongsheng pondered for a long time, and did not refuse, only sobbed: "The son is not filial, he is responsible for the favor of the court, and he insults the name of his ancestors, and he has never glorified his ancestors in the year of his establishment, and he has to make up for it privately by his mother, he is really ashamed......

Zhou patted his son's hand and said kindly: "What do you and my mother and son still need to talk about these false things?" Whether you are filial or not, your mother knows it. Go ahead and let the kitchen get some light meals and use some before going to sleep. ”

Jiang Hongsheng put the silver ticket in his arms, just got up and sat down again: "Mother, I have shown Yuan Chenxiang a gentleman in the past two days, Brother Chen'er is four years old, and it is time to enlighten." Messing around all day, I'm afraid of missing this kid. ”

Zhou nodded and said, "Brother Hang is by your side, I am relieved." Brother Chen is still young, and it is a good thing to have a gentleman watching. Only this gentleman's knowledge should be good, and his character should be even better. ”

Jiang Hongsheng responded one by one, saw that his mother's face was tired, sat for a few more minutes, and then withdrew and hurried back to Yixi Garden.

There are two best courtyards in the West Garden, Qiushui Courtyard is elegant and quiet, and Qingshan Courtyard is full of fragrance, and it is inhabited by Gu and Zhou.

Jiang Hongsheng stood at the gate of the garden, did not move for a long time, and only after a long time did he raise his feet and walk towards Qiushui Courtyard.

……

Gu Yuzhen was obviously a little surprised that Jiang Hongsheng came at this time, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to change his clothes and wash for him.

Jiang Hongsheng looked at this woman who was busy working for him, his heart ached, and he fell to the bed with his arms in his arms. He needed to urgently enter her body to feel her presence.

Gu Yuzhen's hand caressed the back of the eager, somewhat rude man. Jiang Hongsheng shuddered, and his movements slowly slowed down. In the last rush, Jiang Hongsheng lay on Gu's body and did not move for a long time.

Gu Yuzhen frowned and pushed the man on her body, the man turned over and got out of bed, called the maid to bring hot water in, twisted the handkerchief, and carefully helped his wife wipe up.

After the incident, Jiang Hongsheng hugged Gu's family, gently stroked her back, and said gently: "I helped Chen'er invite a gentleman, his character and knowledge are very good, I will take Zhou's to Yangzhou in two days, you are careful at home, just send me a letter if you have something." ”

As soon as Gu heard Zhou's words, there was gradually a coldness in his eyes.

"Mother is not in good health, you should take care of it more. My father didn't care about everything over the years, and it was not easy for her to pull this family alone. Older people, temperament, temper has changed a lot, you take care of it. If you have any grievances, just wait for me to come back and punish me. Mother has just given you some silver, and I have put it under your pillow, put it away, and save more for the two children. The secret compartment of my study, you know, and the third in the middle is the private money I have saved over the years, all of which I have left to you. ”

Gu Yuzhen sneered in her heart, a teardrop fell silently from the corner of her eye, but she said softly: "I save it." It's night, go to sleep. "I won't say anything more.

Jiang Hongsheng watched Gu Yuzhen fall asleep, with a slight tiredness on his delicate and fair face.

At that time, the osmanthus tree smiled as if it was yesterday, and it seemed like a world away. Over the years, she often has a detached smile on her face, gentle, peaceful, and demure, but she has spoken less and less.

Those days of tenderness and soft-language warmth seem to have only appeared in dreams. He knew the wound in her heart, and it was also his wound. He couldn't do anything to erase the wound in her heart, and only hoped that one day, the wound would slowly heal and gradually subside.

Jiang Hongsheng lowered his head and kissed the woman's face, took her into his arms, and closed his eyes sleepily.

……

In the five days before the second master of the Jiang family left, except for asking his mother to say goodbye, he was all messing around in Qiushui Courtyard.

He not only invited his son to Xixi, but also found a martial artist out of nowhere, and bought four children around six or seven years old to accompany his son to practice in the morning and call his son.

He personally taught his son the first lesson of enlightenment and taught him to write the first words of his life.

Subsequently, he invited his uncle Jiang Hongjian to the study, and the brothers closed the door and talked secretly for a long time.

He accompanied the Gu family every day to listen to the replies of his subordinates in the meeting room, and from time to time he threw a few meaningful glances to Jiang Da, the chief manager of the mansion. Jiang Da was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and for several days, his clothes were wet.

For the rest of the time, he only followed Gu's side. During the day, the husband and wife go in and out together, eat and drink together. At night, he pestered Gu Yuzhen, tirelessly, again and again, until he was exhausted.

……

Jiang Hongsheng's abnormal behavior caused Aunt Zhou's liver to ache and feel distressed, and there was no pain on her body. I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I don't even have the heart to dress up.

Women are born with jealousy, but this jealousy is also elegant and vulgar.

In the dream of Red Mansions, Sister Lin ate vinegar once, and went to bury the flowers with a flower hoe on her back. A song of "Funeral Flower Yin" caused the flowers to wither and the birds to sing sadly, which is really elegant to the extreme!

Aunt Zhou of Jiangfu ate vinegar once, cried, made trouble and smashed things, and sang and screamed in the direction of Qiushui Courtyard, sneering and scolding. The level can be called first-class, but it is vulgar first-class.

The maid who was in charge of running errands in Qingshan Courtyard went to Qiushui Courtyard three times a day to invite the second master, and the calf ran a thin circle, and the second master didn't even show his face. Now as soon as this girl enters Qingshan Courtyard, she lowers her head by three points.

The maid who is in charge of sprinkling and sweeping has also been secretly complaining about it these days. looked at the little hand that had been cut by the slag, and sighed in his heart: "Second master, you should come quickly, if you don't come, maybe this mouth will be on your face, and I will marry someone with this face!" ”

……

Jiang Yushan doesn't have time to listen to her aunt's crying now, I heard that the official wives and ladies of Yangzhou City love to get together and visit the garden, and she is busy packing up her clothes and jewelry and tidying up the cages.

Today, my grandmother rewarded her with a pair of gorse emerald hairpins, inlaid with blue gemstones, and the corners of her mouth rose all day. The eldest aunt, eldest sister, and second sister all sent a lot of gifts, and even the eldest brother sent a set of noodles.

She was afraid that her elated expression would be in stark contrast to her aunt's broken liver and intestines, which would make her aunt even worse.

When she couldn't change the status quo, Jiang Xinshan preferred to use gold jewelry and silk to change her mood.

Jiang Yuanhang was even more lazy to pay attention to Aunt Zhou. A few days ago, my grandmother scattered the maids in the courtyard of the fourth sister to each room and gave him two stunning ones, and my heart was itching how to get it.

Jiang Yuanhang is ten years old this year and has been studying with Jiang Hongsheng for several years. Jiang Hongsheng even doted on him, and he didn't have to be strong in reading, just based on his interest. Jiang Yuanhang was happy, teasing in front of his wife every day, laughing with the maids, and living a good life.

……

When Zhou heard that his niece was making trouble, he was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to it, and he didn't look like it anymore, so he had to send someone to invite her.

Looking at Aunt Zhou's appearance of a wilted eggplant beaten by frost, Zhou's only hates iron and steel.

What is this called? In the past, when the second child rested in your room every day, the Gu family did not live the same. It's only been a few days, and you look like you're going to die, who are you going to do?

She said hatefully: "Okay, you don't have to think about it, the second master will go to Yangzhou, at least a few months, at most a year and a half will not be able to come back, only take your family of three to take office, what else do you want?" This will make him feel ashamed of the Gu family in his heart, stay with him for a few more days, look at his son a few more times, it's a normal thing, what kind of dry vinegar do you eat? ”

Aunt Zhou was very aggrieved and cried out: "Auntie! ”

"Look farther, don't just look at the present, when you arrive in Yangzhou, you will serve the second master well, and it is the right thing to conceive a boy. Only then will you and I be able to act. It's going to make trouble, if you're not ashamed, I'm scared for you. Zhou said earnestly.

Aunt Zhou's heart was even more aggrieved. You think that if your son is in my room every day, I will be able to give birth to a son, which time is not my hard work. Otherwise, he wouldn't touch me for ten days and a half. Isn't that how I got my children? Only this matter of the boudoir, Aunt Zhou is stupid and stupid, and she understands that she can't tell her aunt.

She gritted her teeth and said, "It must be the goblin of the Gu family, pestering the second master to not let him go." Auntie, you have to make decisions for me. ”

When Zhou heard this, he was angry, and dared to say it for a long time, but you didn't listen to a word.

Mama Qian hurriedly stepped forward to help Shunqi and persuaded her softly.

Zhou looked at Aunt Zhou weakly, and waved her hand to signal her to go back.

Aunt Zhou saw that her aunt's face was gloomy, so she said a blessing, turned around and left.

Zhou sighed and said, "It is said that Zhi'er Mo Ruo's mother!" Mama Qian, when I close my eyes, if she is still like this, this good day will come to an end. ”

Mama Qian hurriedly comforted: "What is this talking about, Mrs.!" The second master is a filial person, even if there is such a day, he will also think of you, Mrs., and treat Aunt Zhou well. ”

When Zhou heard this, he said helplessly: "Hey, I hope so!" ”
