Chapter 80 Accepting Noble Concubines (Second Watch)
In the last book, it was said that Uncle Jiang bravely saved the girl of the Zhou family, and Shen Ying saw this situation and looked upside down.
Gu Shi hurriedly ordered the mother-in-law to carry the girl of the Zhou family to the room, and while sending someone to invite the doctor over, he also asked someone to report to the old lady.
At this time, the old lady had already fallen asleep, and when she heard the news, she had to re-tie her hair, put on her clothes, and ask what was going on.
Things are not complicated, uncle, as soon as the second master said this, everyone understood a general idea, and they could hear people say back and forth that Miss Zhou was awake, and it was no big deal, only a little cold, and everyone was relieved.
The old lady thought that her niece and granddaughter were fine, and that she would be able to expose the matter by rewarding her with something and comforting her tomorrow, so she didn't care much and sent everyone back to her room to rest.
Who knew that night, Zhou Xiaoli woke up quietly, thinking that her innocent body was held in the arms of a man in front of everyone, and she was ashamed and angry; I thought that the originally rich and glorious Zhou family withered so far overnight, and I had no thought of life, so I sent the maid away, and a bed of sheets wanted to bear on myself.
Fortunately, he was rescued by Zhou Xiaojing, who came to visit, so it was another toss. The others just returned it, only the two wives of the Jiang family suffered, and they went to Guiyuntang once on the left and one on the right.
On the second day, Zhou Xiaoli's father Zhou Dongliang and mother Lu Shi heard the news, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
When Zhou Dongliang saw this, he knelt down in the old lady's hall and asked his aunt to be the master.
The old lady told the ins and outs of the matter again, and ordered Gu to find some fine medicinal materials and jewelry in the warehouse, and wrapped a red envelope of 1,000 taels of silver, and handed it to her nephew. Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongliang didn't want anything or silver, as long as his aunt gave an explanation.
The old lady was so embarrassed that she hurriedly called her son and daughter-in-law to discuss matters. Everyone chuckled in their hearts, and immediately understood the motive behind Zhou Dongliang's request for an explanation.
Jiang Hongjian went to the mansion to fight the autumn breeze in three days because of the Zhou family, and the hard-earned silver of the Jiang family became the Zhou family's small treasury. I just can't wait to get rid of it with the Zhou family, where will I agree.
Jiang Hongsheng had the experience of Aunt Zhou's past, and he also objected, just saying that he would spend more money.
So the old lady added a few more red envelopes of 1,000 taels. It became three thousand taels and sent it to his nephew with his own hands.
If the three thousand taels of silver were changed from before, Zhou Dongliang's eyelids would not be raised, and the Zhou family would have a casual banquet, and it would not be more than that. It's just that this time is different from the past, and today's three thousand taels are a huge amount of money for him, so he happily took the silver two at the moment, tacitly took his wife. 's daughter returned to the house, and naturally Zhou Qingjing was also with her.
If things come to an abrupt end here, everyone will be happy. Who knew that in just a few days, the capital flowed out of the Jiang family's uncle and the Zhou girl in the garden tryst, and was held by the grandmother. Rumors that the girl of the Zhou family committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake in shame.
This time, Jiang and Zhou Liangfu exploded.
Zhou Xiaoli hanged herself three times a day, causing the whole family to turn on their backs. The Lu family in the second room of the Zhou family discussed with the second master, and took his daughter-in-law Lu to the door in person, forcing the old lady to come up with an idea.
The old lady also held back the fire in her belly.
These two girls were originally intended to be prepared for Yuan Chen. The Zhou family is her maiden family in the end. There is a mother in the palace in the big house, and there will always be a time to rise in the future. The situation of the second and third rooms is worse, if you can get close to the Jiang family, you will have the Jiang family to help you in the future. Life will not go on.
It was only because she promised the Gu family that she had to nod her head for the marriage of the two children, so she had no choice but to invite the girl into the house, hoping that when her grandson came to Guiyuntang sooner or later to ask for peace, they could look at each other.
The old lady was so angry that she smoked. Suppressing his anger, he said coldly: "Idea? What other good ideas are there these days? Since the girl of your Zhou family wants to enter the door of my Jiang family so much, then let the eldest grandson accept her! ”
A word made the old Lu family's face flush, and he said angrily: "How can there be such a simple thing in the world? My Zhou family's innocent girl's family, although she is down, will never be reduced to the point of being a concubine, no matter what, she has to be a noble concubine. ”
The old lady scolded the fool in her heart, didn't even look at her, and sneered: "Yes, you only return the three thousand taels of silver I gave to your son two days ago, and I promise to accept it as a concubine!" ”
When did the Lu family hear about the three thousand taels of silver, they couldn't help but look at the Lu family. Lu Shi was so frightened that he hurriedly whispered a few times in his ear, and Lu Shi suddenly softened.
It turned out that Dong Liang had already fought a famine outside this week, and when he got three thousand taels of silver, he immediately repaid the foreign debt of one thousand taels of silver, and two thousand taels were placed in Lu's place.
Lu was so angry that he burst into tears, pointed at Lu's nose and scolded immediately.
When the old lady saw it, she was both happy and sad. The mother's family is really down, when the old marquis was there, the girls in the Zhou Mansion were so pampered, how gold and jade, not to mention being a concubine, even being a grandmother in the main house, you have to pick and choose.
The corner of Lu's eyes saw his aunt's face clearly, and he didn't care about Lu, so he knelt on the ground and sobbed: "Old lady, it stands to reason that my nephew and daughter-in-law have no face to come to the door today, and since she took the silver, the matter is over, but who knows, I don't know which black-hearted villain is chewing all over his back, ruining the reputation of the two mansions, this is to force my daughter to death." ”
Seeing that the old lady's face was a little loose, Lu Shi howled more and more: "Auntie, Xiaoli is only fifteen years old this year, and she is said to be like this, who else can she marry in the future?" Even if this life is ruined, it is difficult for a mother to really see her die, or to twist her hair and become a sister-in-law. Auntie, she's your grandniece. This child is the most knowledgeable and courteous, since he was a child, he has also been pampered in the palm of his hand until now, and he has never even heard a heavy word, if it is not for this step, how can I be willing to let her be small. Auntie, have pity on this child! ”
When the old lady heard this, wasn't she her niece and granddaughter, and a few tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed, and said, "That's it, that's it, I don't want the silver, you go back and prepare, and pick a good day to enter the door according to the concubine." ”
Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw that the old lady was relieved, and she entered the door according to the concubine, and finally her face was a little happy, but when she thought that her granddaughter who had been raised for more than ten years ended up being a concubine, she was sad again. I cried in front of the old lady for a long time.
The old lady was really troubled, so she had to ask Mama Qian to take out a private room of five hundred taels of silver, and let the Lu family buy two new clothes for the child, and then invited the person away.
……
As soon as the old lady came down, Shen Ying got the news.
is a noble concubine, Aunt Zhou was admitted to the door as a noble concubine, but the result was that the chickens and dogs in the house jumped not to mention, and she had pressed the second aunt for more than ten years. She was not Gu, she knocked out her teeth and swallowed blood in her stomach. She now has three sons and a brother, what are she afraid of?
Before Shen Ying could think about it, he sneered immediately, packed up his baggage, and returned to Shen's house with his three children.
Shen Ying dragged her son and daughter back to the Shen Mansion, which alarmed Old Man Shen.
The old man frowned and listened carefully to his granddaughter's crying, and only after a while did he calmly say, "What are you crying about?" An An lives in the house, takes care of the three children, and has a grandfather to support you in everything. Old family, clean up the yard and let A-Ying live, send more maids and wives to wait, and don't wait for you. ”
With that, he turned his back and went to the study.
Xun listened to his father-in-law's words, and hurriedly rushed Zhang Luo, the two daughters-in-law Ye, and Zhang comforted on the side.
As soon as Zhang Xinyu heard that the Jiang family was making such a fuss, she swept away the depression of the previous few days, hindered the presence of the Ye family, and persuaded a few words with false intentions, so she held a tea cup, while watching a good show, and drinking tea.
Shen Ying went back to her parents' house this time, but she made the old lady angry, but she was just accepting a noble concubine, and the eldest grandmother dared to throw her face to show her, but she couldn't do it? It is said that the elders give it, and they dare not resign, is there still her ancestor in the eyes of everyone in this house?
During the night she called her two sons and daughter-in-law to her and beat them. The four husbands and wives knelt on the ground and hung their heads, you looked at me out of the corner of your eye, I looked at you out of the corner of my eye, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
In the end, Jiang Hongjian said with a sad face: "Old lady, if you want me to say that it is nothing to give Yuan Qing a concubine, it's just that the old lady accepts him as a noble concubine, which is a little inappropriate." Besides, the Shen family will not agree. I think it's better to discuss this matter with my uncle and aunt! ”
As soon as the words fell, the old lady glanced at her eldest son viciously. Jiang Hongjian lowered his head silently, secretly thinking in his heart.
The old lady raised her voice and said angrily: "You also know that it is your own uncle, your own aunt, I thought that the eldest lord's wings were stiff, and he couldn't see people in his eyes." The Jiang family has today, and the second master can enter Beijing to be an official, relying on the Zhou family, but now the Zhou family is down, otherwise, a year ago, the girl from the Zhou family went to the Jiang Mansion to be the grandmother of the main house, and it is also our Jiang Mansion Gaopan. ”
Seeing that the four people on the ground were silent, the old lady slapped the table twice in anger.
"Don't look at me, I don't know what you're thinking, my brother came to borrow a few pieces of silver, cut your flesh, and drank your blood. The Jiang family's property was earned by me, and your father died until he died, and he didn't leave you a son. ”
The four people on the ground were frightened when they heard this, kowtowed, and walked out of Guiyun Hall in a gloomy manner.
The brothers glanced at each other and went to the study to discuss things, leaving Gu and Chen looking at each other.
Gu endured it for a while, and finally sighed: "Sister-in-law, the matter has come to this point, I still want to inquire about this girl's character when I go back, if she is honest, even if she enters the door with a noble concubine, she will have no defense; If it's a powerful one, the one in the northwest corner is a lesson from the past. ”
Is there any reason why Chan is unclear? Hurriedly asked: "Brother and sister, in your opinion, how is Xiaoli's character this week?" ”(..)
