Chapter Seventy-Nine: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law

He Ruyu's face immediately changed. Intuitively, he drilled under the table, as if he wanted to hide himself well, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but smile, grabbed He Ruyu's collar and pulled it outside, and said, "This girl...... Mama Fang, take the young master girl to play with the master, don't let her be alone. ”

After settling He Ruyu, Chen Shuangchuan took Chunhong Xiaocao to the side courtyard, and saw Mrs. He sitting in the lobby and losing her temper, several plates had been thrown on the ground, and Liu Hua knelt in the center, bowing her head and pleading.

"Okay, how did this girl make her wife angry, if she wants to beat or scold, why should her wife be angry with her own body?" Chen Shuangchuan bowed over, and then said unhurriedly, although he didn't like Mrs. He, but Chen Shuangchuan had done all the etiquette he should have.

Mrs. He frowned and stared at her for a long time before she stretched out her hand and pointed to the table and asked in a cold voice, "You give us some food, these rough things, pigs don't want to eat them, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Chen Shuangchuan raised his eyes and looked. The white porridge and egg steamed buns are no different from what she eats, and when she was in the countryside, Mrs. He also ate like this most of the time, it seems that it was because she was stabbed by Chen Shuang last night, and she came to find ballast today. After staring at Mrs. He coldly for a while, Chen Shuangchuan replied: "Mrs. said that she was joking, because my lord was used to eating breakfast in the south, and I thought that my wife should also love to eat these, but this is my daughter-in-law's negligence." Chunhong asked the kitchen to prepare some garlic cakes for his wife. ”

"Who's going to eat those garlic cakes!" Mrs. He screamed angrily.

According to Mrs. He's meaning, He Jinbao is already a senior official of the third grade, at least he must always take some ginseng and chicken porridge, crystal shrimp meat buns, and ham slices to be decent. It's just that Mrs. He was embarrassed to say it clearly, but Chen Shuangchuan made up her mind and pretended to be confused, and she insisted that the whole family ate like this, not to be lazy.

Mrs. He had no choice but to let Chen Shuang go back, and when she turned around, she saw Master He leisurely drinking white porridge, and her own share, because she was angry, waved to the ground, Chen Shuangchuan deliberately took all the people away, and did not mention sending them over again, which suddenly made Mrs. He have a feeling of remorse for lifting a stone and smashing her toes, and she is angry.

Sitting down on a chair angrily, he complained to Master He: "Eat, eat, you know how to eat!" Look at that old fourth daughter-in-law. It's just that I haven't seen it for a long time, and I am arrogant like this, and I may climb on our heads in a few days, and this day is really going to be unbearable. ”

"You're so careful." Master He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said with a displeased expression, "It's still rubbing, hurry up and clean up, I'm going to go to the master's side to say goodbye." ”

Finally got out of the side courtyard and left Mrs. He, Chen Shuangchuan sighed, only to feel that Mrs. He was more difficult to deal with than when she was in the countryside, and Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but want to get angry several times.

Thinking that He Ruyu and He Jue were on Mrs. He's side, thinking about Zhengkong, he took a needle and thread to Mrs. He's yard, Mrs. He was taking He Jue to sit under the big banyan tree in the yard, He Ruyu was picking up fallen leaves on the side, and from time to time she put it on He Jue's body for a comparison, saying that it was very beautiful to let her sister-in-law embroider this kind of pattern, but He Jue was so happy that she giggled.

Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but smile and took a stool to sit aside. While doing needlework, I watched them play around, and from time to time I laughed a few words.

When he was happy, suddenly the courtyard door opened, and Master He brought Mrs. He and the two brothers Jingui and Jinyuan over, and the two brothers He Jingui and He Jinyuan were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't stay long, so they got up and saluted, Chen Shuangchuan asked Chunhong to pack up the needle and thread, hugged He Jue and led He Ruyu to prepare to avoid.

Yesterday came late, Chen Shuangchuan specially asked He Ruyu to hide, Mrs. He didn't recognize He Ruyu, and thought it was just a little girl, seeing Chen Shuangchuan's intimate appearance with her, she didn't feel like it, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Fourth daughter-in-law, who is this girl, your daughter, she has grown so big, and she was born when she was born!" ”

Speaking of which, his tone became more and more severe, almost all of them were already questioning, and Chen Shuangchuan felt powerless again, thinking that this Mrs. He really didn't stab her and she felt uncomfortable.

Mrs. He said lightly: "That is Ruyu." ”

Because he just left the courtyard gate, Chen Shuangchuan didn't hear the words later, only to see Mrs. He's face as white as brushed lime.

I don't know what Mrs. He said, after this day, Mrs. He stayed in her own yard honestly, and even excused herself for the evening banquet that she was uncomfortable and didn't come out.

Without Mrs. He present, Chen Shuangchuan and He Ruyu, the two female dependents, felt uncomfortable and retired early. The man surnamed He drank wine and ate side dishes, chatting slowly.

By the time He Jinbao came back, it was already the second half of the night, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't wait and fell asleep, and felt He Jinbao lie down in a daze, slightly with some alcohol, reached out to hug Chen Shuangsheng's waist, and leaned his head on her back.

This sudden hug startled Chen Shuang, and he felt stiff and didn't dare to move.

He Jinbao just hugged it, sighed, and said, "Over the years, it has not been easy for my father. Otherwise, you don't need to rent a house, buy the one next door, and open up a big yard...... It's rare for a family to be reunited, and it's good to live with a beautiful family. ”

Chen Shuangchuan really wanted to sigh, but he felt that He Jinbao was really innocent and cute, and on the second day of his arrival, so many things had already happened, and the days after that could be imagined, and what Ruyu was, and I didn't know how Mrs. He wanted to treat her.

"This relative is always distant. It's close to the smell, it's better to live separately, if the lord feels reluctant, just find a closer place, get together often, can I stop you? ”

"If other people know about this, they may say that I don't respect my parents."

"Master forgot, we have long since separated."

Seeing that He Jinbao still looked disapproving, Chen Shuangchuan had no choice but to tell the matter. A long time ago, He Jinbao once accidentally fell into the lake. After a few days of fever, he hurriedly married in order to give him joy to Chen Shuang.

That time he fell into the water, He Jinbao didn't remember it very clearly, and thought it was just an ordinary falling water, but Chen Shuangchuan saw a shadow passing in the woods behind him, and the next day he found a green silk thread scraped down by thorns nearby.

"It's just that at that time, that kind of place was sneaky, even if you didn't accidentally fall into the water yourself, I was afraid that you would be pushed into the water by her."

"She's a woman!" He Jinbao couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.

Chen Shuangchuan was silent for a while, and muttered to He Jinbao: "Women are not all weak and kind. ”

Suddenly felt He Jinbao's arm stiffen, and then asked: "...... you?"

This is to have some doubts about Chen Shuangchuan, doubting whether Chen Shuangchuan has harmed anyone, Chen Shuangchuan smiled bitterly, and muttered: "Master, I have also harmed and killed people, otherwise I would not be able to go from Wencheng to a high-rise building just by relying on the word woman." ”

No matter how Chen Shuangchuan hides these things, He Jinbao should always know one day, but Chen Shuangchuan is thinking, if He Jinbao knows, I am afraid that he will only be more disgusted by him.

Unexpectedly, He Jinbao hugged Chen Shuangchuan tighter and muttered: "All these years...... Thank you too much. Chen Shuang stopped struggling as soon as he fell, and was stunned for a while, and suddenly tears flowed down, and he didn't know why he felt particularly wronged.

After listening to Chen Shuangchuan's words, although He Jinbao didn't say it on his face, he wrote it down in his heart, and found several houses in a few days, and specially invited Master He to go out to see.

Mrs. He's heart was a little small, and she inevitably muttered a few words, isn't this a rush or something, and said a lot of bad things about He Jinbao and his family in front of Master He. It's just that the courtyard on He Jinbao's side is really small, although there is no official on Master He, but he is also a person who is usually rich and noble, and he only feels that the place is small and there are few people who serve him after living here for a few days. The food is even more unsatisfactory, and Master He is also thinking of finding another big house, which can also be more comfortable, so Master He himself is also willing to move, and he doesn't pay attention to Mrs. He's nagging at all.

The houses in the capital are much more expensive than those in the countryside, and Chen Shuangzhuan alone spent eighty-five golden buns on a small shop, which is already a huge expenditure. Master He wants to live in the capital for a long time, so he naturally wants to buy a house, but Master He likes it too expensive, and the cheap one is very remote, and Master He can't look at it.

After wandering around like this for several days, I still haven't found a suitable house, He Jinbao's food is light and simple, Master He is not used to eating, and it is not good to make trouble without face like Mrs. He, so I can't stay for a long time, so I can only retreat, rent a house, buy some furniture, and move in in a hurry.

Master He still wanted to take He Ruyu away, but Mrs. He said, "Let Ruyu stay with my old man for a few more days." "Master He naturally has nothing to say.

Chen Shuangchuan was still not very relieved, and he was relieved until he sent the carriage that the He family had moved.

Just about to eat, Liu Hua, who was assigned to clean up the side courtyard, came over in a hurry and whispered to Chen Shuangchuan: "Madam, there are still a lot of things left in the courtyard, what should I do?" ”

At first, Chen Shuangchuan thought that Mrs. He accidentally dropped something when she was cleaning up, and she looked embarrassed by Liu Hua, so she went over to take a look.

As a result, the clothes, bedding, and things commonly used by Mrs. He were all left behind, as if she was naked to show Chen Shuang that she would come back at any time.

"This ...... It's really like a wild dog enclosure in the countryside, where it goes. ”

It was obvious that the family had been separated, but Mrs. He put on a look of wanting to enter the house, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and muttered and cursed, only to feel better. I flipped through them casually and found that they were all half-new and not very valuable, so Chen Shuangchuan ordered people to pack a box and specially sent it to Mrs. He, and said by the way: "Mrs. left something in my guest room." ”

I don't know what Mrs. He said, Chen Shuangchuan didn't bother to listen, and he didn't tell He Jinbao, so he directly revealed the matter.

It's just that after Chen Shuangchuan touched the nails here a few times, Mrs. He probably felt angry, and she was more energetic than Chen Shuangchuan, and she always had to find something to make trouble when she had something to do. Master He can still see it, and secretly reprimanded her, the He family finally came up with a promising He Jinbao, even if he doesn't think about himself, there are still Jinfu brothers below, and they always have to rely on He Jinbao to develop together.

has been said several times like this, and Mrs. He has listened to it a little, thinking that Jin Gui Jin Yuan is also a big boss, and she should have married a long time ago, but because of these turbulent years, it has long been delayed, and it has been delayed until now.

"Jin Guidu is in his twenties, and his marriage can no longer be delayed." Mrs. He was also a little anxious when she thought about it, and couldn't help complaining, "These four people are really good, they have become such big officials, they must know a lot of official girls, and they don't know how to help?" ”

Complaining is complaining, Mrs. He also knew that in a place like the capital, without Chen Shuangchuan's help, she would not be able to meet a good girl, so she made up her mind, just for the sake of Jingui, she also had to treat Chen Shuangchuan well.

When Mrs. He thought about it, she ran to He Jinbao's side even more diligently, which made Chen Shuang hesitate, and wondered if this Mrs. He should have taken the wrong medicine, why did they suddenly meet with a little smile, and it made people feel oozing.

Although Chen Shuangchuan was impatient with Mrs. He coming over for three days, it was just that she couldn't say it, and she still had to put on a smiling face when she didn't want to see her, which made Chen Shuangchuan very unhappy.

At the end of the month, tomorrow is the day of routine entering the palace to ask for peace, but Mrs. He said that she wanted to come to stay for one night, Chen Shuangchuan was a little embarrassed, and she had to go out early in the morning when she entered the palace, and she was afraid that she would not take good care of Mrs. He.

Mrs. He said in a rare manner: "How much does this matter, I'll just go with you." ”

Chen Shuang was speechless.

Unlike Sima Hongwen, the emperor of Qianning, who died, Sima Zixia can almost be said to be unusually stingy in the division of officials, except for those who are really meritorious, the others are basically verbally rewarded, and as for the families of the generals, they are given even fewer titles. In the He family, Chen Shuangchuan alone got the order of a county lady as a rule, and even Mrs. He was just a commoner.

Mrs. He still thought about singing according to the play, with her mother-in-law's identity, there is always a lady who can be rewarded, but it just happened to meet the new dynasty and split up the family, Mrs. He's expectation that the still order has not come down for a long time, so she has a little thought, planning to follow Chen Shuangchuan into the palace and get to know more nobles.

After persuading for a long time, Mrs. He finally understood that there was no will, and she would not enter the palace casually, and it would be a big thing to lose her head if it was serious.

"Didn't you bring a maid with you when you entered the palace?"

Could it be that Mrs. He still wants to pretend to be a maid and follow in? Chen Shuangchuan stared at Mrs. He for a long time, only to feel that it was becoming more and more difficult to talk to her, so she could only say: "The maids are all waiting outside, and they can't see the queen." ”

Mrs. He didn't listen, she always thought that Chen Shuangchuan was coaxing her if she didn't want to take her, so angry that she even put her mother-in-law's shelf out.

If you don't listen to it, you can't scold it, Chen Shuangchuan can only respond and take Mrs. He with her, but whether Queen Tong wants to see her or not is another matter.

That night, Mrs. He naturally stayed at He Jinbao's house, and Chen Shuangchuan had just dressed up, and Mrs. He was already ready to come over and urge. Seeing that Chen Shuangchuan was wearing a small pearl hairpin on her bun, Mrs. He muttered dissatisfiedly: "Sure enough, she looks poor and shabby, and she is not afraid of going out to be embarrassed." ”

I took a look in the mirror, the cyan pleated skirt, the silver-red robe, the soft silver round earrings, and the pearl small phoenix hairpin, although it looked a little clean, it was not a big deal. looked at Mrs. He, she really put a lot of effort into dressing up, wearing a rich peony robe inlaid with gold, a towering spiraling flying fairy bun, and the most conspicuous thing was the two golden ruby hairpins on her head, which were heavy as if she was going to bend her hair bun.

Mrs. He's dress is rich and magnificent, but her two ruby hairpins are usually fine, but if she really wants to enter the palace, then she is not qualified to bring them as a flat-headed person.

Chen Shuangchuan wanted to say that Mrs. He's dress was beyond the system, but looking at Mrs. He's smug face, thinking that she couldn't enter the palace, she didn't say anything, and as Mrs. He commented on herself, she was picky.

Sure enough, when they arrived at Dongchang Gate, when the guards were inspecting, they saw Mrs. He's face and she didn't look like a maid, so they asked and stopped directly.

Mrs. He was still unconvinced, pointing at Mama Fang and saying, "My mother-in-law can enter, just stop me!" ”

"It's not noisy in the palace." Chen Shuangchuan quietly grabbed Mrs. He, and repeatedly mentioned it to Queen Tong, and Mrs. He let go.

Afraid that Mrs. He would make trouble here, Chunhong was a young maid and her thin skin couldn't be suppressed, so Chen Shuangchuan left Mama Fang behind, and specially ordered to watch it carefully, don't let Mrs. He run around, so she took Chunhong into the palace nervously.

I have to enter the palace once a month, and it's not a big deal, but a group of women get together, and the parents have a short chat for a while, just because after all, it's in the palace, and everyone is extra careful, and this conversation is really a bit dull and boring.

Chen Shuangchuan was worried about Mrs. He, who was waiting outside, and felt that time was difficult, presumably this anxious mood was somewhat exposed on her face, causing Queen Tong to look at her several times. When adding tea, a little palace maid whispered a few words to Queen Tong, Queen Tong showed a strange smile, looked meaningfully in the direction of Chen Shuang, and said lightly: "There are always some people who are not self-sufficient......"
