Chapter 72 Showing Weakness (3rd Watch)
Jiang Xinyao is living a good life, how would she know that there have been many good dramas in the house recently.
The father and son have always reported good news and not bad news, so naturally they will not take the initiative to tell the mother and daughter about such ugly things, Jiang Xinyao is happy.
She smiled and said: "Auntie, if you want me to say, this matter is not difficult, you are in charge of the house, and you serve the old lady, and you have to worry about your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, even an iron man can't withstand such a toss." Look at this winter, the cold wind is blowing, and the cold is biting, can you freeze people out of the disease? ”
Gu said: "You leather monkey, what the hell did you come up with, how could you curse your aunt to be sick." ”
Xin Yao's eyes flashed, and she sighed: "If you want me to say, the job of a housekeeper is really thankless, worrying about labor, and tired half to death." What others see is the scenery, bitterness and tears swallowed into their stomachs, and they have to guard against a dark arrow from someone who has a heart today, and a small shoe tomorrow, which makes people feel panicked when they hear it. Auntie, if we can't do it, then we can only show weakness. pushed this errand, saying that he couldn't get sick, and only said that you were in charge of the family, and you were tired and sick. Old lady, what will the eldest uncle and everyone in the house think? ”
Gu nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, Yao'er is not bad if you think about it." Expensive and expensive are not expensive, do you think this is the reason? ”
Chen was still confused when he heard this, and wondered, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Sister-in-law, when I was in charge of the house, I also showed weakness everywhere, asked for instructions on everything, and took the old lady as the main thing in everything. Now that my grandmother is about to give birth, I am in the countryside again, and my sister-in-law is sick again, who is in charge of this house? The old lady is a person who wants to save face, no matter how much she spoils Aunt Zhou, Jiangfu's face still has to be taken into account. With the old lady's body, how can she still have the energy to manage the affairs of a large family? When the time comes, not only will I not embarrass my sister-in-law, but I am afraid that I will have to beg for good words. ”
Chen pondered it carefully, and said happily: "Brother and sister, this idea is good, think about it carefully, it is really such a reason." ”
Xin Yao saw that she understood the deep meaning in her words, and the IQ of the eldest aunt was not stupid.
Chen Shi felt and said: "The two of us have been together for more than ten years. You know me, I am the strongest, I would rather cry after people than fight in front of others. Where to know...... Alas, don't look at the scenery I have all day long, where can I compare the days you spent in the country. Now, I also understand the difficulties of my younger brother and sister when they were housekeepers, the old lady is afraid that even I am not as good as you, and you have survived all these years. ”
Gu Shi remembered the past and looked sad: "What can I do if I don't boil, which woman doesn't come over like this?" Fortunately, the population in the house is small, except for one or two who are not worried. I didn't suffer any major grievances. My sister-in-law treats me as a sister, which is also my blessing. ”
Chen listened heartwarmingly, thought for a while, and said: "Brother and sister, don't blame my sister-in-law for talking too much, the second master is filial." Seeing that the fourth lady is about to reach thirteen, the old lady is afraid that she will ...... You've got to plan for it, too. Now that you have given birth to a brother again, how can Zhou Xiuyue be willing? It's always good to be on guard. ”
Gu's eyes darkened: "Sister-in-law, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves." Prevent it from coming and going, and it's still yourself who is tired. ”
Chen leaned forward and whispered, "That being said. But it must be guarded against. I heard that there are two mothers-in-law who look at the eyes, and they often go to Zhou Xiuyue's courtyard, mysterious and secretive, and they don't know what they are planning? ”
Jiang Xinyao's heart moved, raised her eyebrows lightly, and slowly lowered her eyelids.
Gu Shi said disapprerovingly: "Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me." I know it. People, if you can't earn your life, it's a blessing or a curse, it's all fate, you can't hide it. Again. It wasn't necessarily for me. ”
Xin Yao smiled: "How can my mother believe this? As the saying goes, the blessing of the blessing depends on it, the misfortune and the blessing come, think about the good in everything, and the bad can also become a good thing. ”
Chen smiled: "Yao'er Bingxue is smart, it is precisely this principle. ”
Xin Yao smiled: "Second sister has a letter in the capital?" She got married, and my mother and I were in the countryside, and I couldn't send one away, and I always felt sorry for it. ”
Speaking of his daughter, Chen's face turned sad and sighed: "Your second sister is afraid that she is cold, and she has not written to her until now." I asked Xinqiong to inquire, but I only said that I was living in peace, and I couldn't inquire about anything else. Deep house compound, which one is good to get along with? I raised her and hoped that she would be well. ”
Gu Shi comforted him: "Sister-in-law relax, the Sun family has a head and face in the capital, and the second lady is smart, no news is good news, separated by 108,000 miles, how can it be so easy to spread a message?" ”
Chen folded his hands, bowed to the sky, and muttered, "If that's the case, I'll be Amitabha." It's not early, I also came out secretly, and I have to rush back. ”
Gu got up and said, "Sister-in-law, if there is anything in the future, send someone who can use it to secretly deliver a letter." In this winter, take care of yourself. ”
Chen took Gu's hand and sighed as he walked: "Brother and sister, I am from my province." As soon as you left, there was no one to talk to in this house, and I was really tired of it, so I came out to breathe. ”
The mother and daughter put Chen in the carriage and walked away before returning to the room. It just so happened that Brother Hao woke up crying and looking for his mother, and the nurse was coaxing, Gu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to pick up his youngest son and patted it gently.
Jiang Xinyao stood for a moment and quietly walked out. Let Danyue call Jiang Fu and whisper a few words in his ear, Jiang Fu raised his eyebrows, his face changed, and he hurriedly left the house.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the father and son of the second room pulled a cart to eat, rushed back to the old house, rested for a night, and returned to Jiang's mansion early the next morning.
A few days after the Spring Festival, Jiang Fu quietly entered Beijing, and everything in the old mansion was still the same.
……
Out of the first month, the news that the eldest lady was sick came from the Jiang Mansion, and at this moment, the eldest grandmother successfully gave birth to a daughter, and the old lady named Jiang Ruolan.
When Gu and Xin Yao heard the news, they sent the pre-customized golden locks and several sets of children's clothes made by themselves to the eldest grandmother.
On this day, Jiang Hongsheng was about to go out, and before he left the house, he asked the old lady's people to invite him.
The old lady had just finished using the medicine, and she was crooked on the concubine's floor, and the brazier on the side was burning hot. When he saw his son coming in, he said, "It's a cold day, where is the second master going?" ”
Jiang Hongsheng said respectfully: "Mother, I was planning to go to the old house, and after the New Year, I didn't have time to go to see the child, and I happened to have nothing to do today, so I wanted to go and take a look." ”
"Brother Hao, I remember that he was born on the ninth day of April, and he will be one year old in a flash, does the second master plan to let me meet my little grandson?"
Jiang Hongsheng heard his mother's words. After thinking a few times in his heart, he hurriedly said: "But according to my mother's orders." ”
The old lady sighed: "It's been two years since this happened, and the second wife stays in the countryside all the year round, and it's not a solution." The grandchild of the Jiang family. Keep it outside, and say it to make people laugh. The fourth girl is thirteen years old this year, and she slowly has to look at each other, how can there be a good family in the poor countryside? Let's take it back. You see in this house, Chen's is sick, Shen's has just given birth, and Xiuyue is an aunt, and there is no one to help her with everything, isn't it a mess? Legend out. It's also meant to be a joke. The dignified Jiang Mansion still has to have a housekeeper's wife. ”
Jiang Hongsheng squinted his eyes, and his mind turned quickly: "Mother, in case ......"
The old lady snorted coldly: "What if it doesn't? It's just that eating something unclean is not a big deal. The second master was careful. Let the subordinates clean up the two courtyards, add some good things from the storehouse, find a good day, and bring back their mother and daughter. When my mother is old, she looks forward to a family reunion, and there are more people and more lively. ”
Jiang Hongsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "My son should go." ”
The wrinkles in the corners of the old lady's eyes squeezed into one place with a smile: "That's right." It's all a family, you can't look up and see what you look down, so you don't need to guard against this, you need to guard against that. My mother has also figured it out in the past two years, and her children and grandchildren have their own blessings. ”
Jiang Hongsheng understood and said happily: "My son thanks his mother for his success." ”
The old lady glanced at her son coldly. said: "You don't need to thank me, you only rely on me for one thing." ”
"Mother, please speak."
"Xiuyue has been with you for all these years, and she has no major faults in giving birth to children for you, and she is stupid. but the eyes of the heart are not bad, but the mouth is not forgiving. ”
The old lady looked at her son's expression as she spoke.
"For Mother's sake, you're so good at her. Even if you don't like it, you can't just throw it aside and ignore it like these two years. Is it a relative, and how can I explain this to her parents? As for you, don't hold grudges in your heart, it's not interesting to talk about the past. In the past, it was my mother who was stubborn and suffered my son. ”
Jiang Hongsheng knelt down and said: "The son is not filial, and the mother is tired of worrying, as long as the mother can tolerate the Gu family, the son will definitely be good to Xiuyue." ”
The old lady smiled: "A family and a happy family are better than anything else." Now what's going on with this east end and west end of the world? When the Gu family comes back, hurry up and find a lovely person for Yuan Hang to marry, and it will be good for me. ”
Jiang Hongsheng was overjoyed.
The mother and son were talking in the room, and neither of them paid attention to the figure that flashed in the corner of the door.
……
At sunset, Jiang Hongsheng quickly whipped to the ancestral house, just dismounted, threw the reins and went straight to the house. As soon as he entered the room, he happily told the old lady what he meant to Gu.
Gu Shi was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Hao'er will turn one year old on the ninth day of the fourth month, and the concubine also thinks that it is right to go back, and the master just sets the date." ”
Jiang Hongsheng was so happy that he grabbed Gu's hand and said with a smile: "Yuzhen, my mother promised not to embarrass you again." Now the sister-in-law in the house is sick, Yuanqing's daughter-in-law has just given birth, and no one takes care of the big family. Sister Lan'er's full moon ceremony and Brother Hao'er's first birthday banquet have to be handled by you. ”
Gu Shi frowned imperceptibly, Jiang Hongsheng was close at hand, saw clearly, thought about it, and his tone eased by three points.
"My mother is old, her energy is not as good as before, and she can't do it without someone around her. You have been in the old house for two years, and the sister-in-law has been busy with the old lady, so we should do our filial piety when we go back. And my mother has regretted it in the past two years, saying that she was stubborn before, but now she just lets go, takes care of her days, and enjoys the blessings of her children and grandchildren."
Gu Shi sneered in his heart, and said with his face as usual: "It's all my fault, I will go with my mother when I go back." It's just that the old man is really unreasonable, and no matter how fast he is, he has to give our mother and daughter a time to clean up. Two people when you come, three people when you go, how many things you have to come out! February 18 is a good day, the second master came to pick up our mother and son back to the house on this day, what do you think? ”(..)
