Chapter 34: Not Keeping Women's Ways
Mu Jiu's feet didn't stop, and he dropped a sentence, "Grandpa asked Lin Langzhong to run for a long time, and then run one more time, I'm afraid that if he is really sick in the future, Lin Langzhong will not come!" ”
Mu Rongguang, who "fainted", fought a carp, but unsuccessfully, slowly turned up, and hurriedly commanded Mrs. Mu, "Why don't you hurry up and chase people back, I have a holiday with the old man Mucha, and he will definitely disturb our family's affairs!" ”
The group hurriedly chased after them.
…
Mu Jiu knocked on the door of Mu Cha's house, "Grandpa Lizheng!" You save Jiu'er! ”
The Mucha family had dinner and were discussing their grandson Mu Hongbo's homework in the courtyard.
"Grandpa, sit down, I'll open the door." Mu Hongbo was ten years old and was well educated by Mucha.
With Mu Cha's permission, Mu Hongbo opened the door, "Sister Jiu'er? ”
"Hongbo, I have something I want to ask Grandpa Lizheng!" Mu Jiu pulled Li Xiaotao, whose cheeks were swollen, into the door.
The three of them went straight to Mu Cha and knelt down with a puff, "Ask Grandpa Lizheng to save Jiu'er, Jiu'er doesn't want to die!" ”
Mu Rongguang's treatment of the second family, everyone in Mujia Village knows, but Mu Qiaoyong's attitude is there, and it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, so he is not good at interfering in anything, so he never asks.
Now that Mu Jiu is kneeling in front of him, he is just taking advantage of the topic to play.
Looking at Li Xiaotao's bruised and swollen cheeks, Mu Cha's brows furrowed, "You guys get up first, don't worry, say slowly, what's going on?" ”
Mu Jiu pushed Li Xiaotao in front of Mu Cha, "Grandpa Lizheng, look, my mother is about to be beaten to death by my father!" The Great Xia Dynasty has a law, the wife is not wrong, and the husband is not innocent. ”
"Look at my mother's arm! Maybe it's broken! After my mother married into the Mu family, what she did was obvious to everyone in Mujia Village, she was filial to her father and mother, and never complained about being tired, who didn't praise her for her good temper?
Today my grandparents were going to kick me out, but she just defended me for a while, and my dad beat her like this! ”
Mu Jiu said as he wiped his tears to win Mu Cha's sympathy.
Muta shook his head, "Your grandfather is a fool!" But even if I'm a lizheng, it's not good to meddle in your family's housework! ”
"Grandpa Lizheng doesn't have to be embarrassed, but when we split up, we also asked Grandpa Lizheng to have a convenient personality."
Mu Jiu didn't say anything about Li Xiaotao's invitation to leave the court.
Mu Cha has been able to hold the position of Li Zheng for many years, and his reputation is very good, which has a lot to do with his cautiousness, if he says it, I am afraid that he will think that Li Xiaotao is extreme, but he will not interfere.
Mu Jiu's words fell, and Mu Rongguang broke in with Mrs. Mu and others.
Mu Rongguang stood at the door in a scholarly posture and waved at Mu Cha, "Lizheng." ”
Mrs. Mu shouted directly, "Mucha! This is my housework, are you going to take care of it too? ”
Mu Rongguang is older than Mu Cha and is of the same generation, so Mrs. Mu considers herself as a sister-in-law, and she doesn't feel that it is wrong at all, but is justified.
The hall was being despised by a ploppy old lady, and Mu Cha's face was not good, "No matter how big the housework is, you can't escape a French word." ”
Mu Rongguang was shocked, Mu Cha is going to ignore today's matter?
glanced at Mrs. Mu unhappily, the latter pretended not to see anything, and continued to shout, "Mu Cha, you are right, but my son is a Xiucai, and he can speak in front of the mayor, you had better think carefully before you take care of my family's affairs." ”
The threat is clear.
Mu Jiu's clear big eyes looked at Mu Cha innocently, watery, as if silently begging: Grandpa Lizheng, help me.
Mu Cha is not a soft-hearted person, seeing that the child is pitiful and is so threatened by Mrs. Mu, he was hesitant to take care of this matter, but now he has made up his mind directly!
Mrs. Mu had no self-knowledge and did not forgive, "Mu Cha, don't think that I don't know that you have a holiday with my master, you better not mess around, otherwise I will let my third son go to the mayor's house to sue you, so that you can't do it." ”
If you're not afraid of god-like opponents, you're afraid of pig-like teammates!
Mu Rongguang looked at the sky and sighed, and shouted, "Shut up! ”
Mrs. Mu was talking energetically, how could she easily listen to it, "Master, what I said is the truth, don't you ......say it too?"
"Shut up!" Mu Rongguang was in a hurry, but his hands and feet were no longer trembling, and he covered Mrs. Mu's mouth with his hands.
Some things are good to say in private, can you say them in front of so many people!
There was a festival before Mucha became a lizheng, and now the old accounts are turned over, and they who suffer are those who have no rank!
Mrs. Mu was aggrieved, "Hmm...... "Master, why don't you let me say, I'm helping you get angry!"
Mu Cha calmly watched the farce of the family, and when Mu Rongguang finally covered the mouth of the noisy Mrs. Mu, he said sarcastically with a cold face, "Mu Xiucai's face is bigger than Ben Lizheng, will Li Zheng's work be handed over to Mu Xiucai in the future?" ”
Mu Rongguang hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Mucha, you misunderstood, the insider is stupid and can't speak, in fact, he has no bad intentions, and I ask Brother Mucha to bear with me." ”
"Humph!" Mu Cha is disdainful, what a stupid mouth, it is obvious that he is too fine, too much.
"Originally, this matter was your family's housework, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't take care of it, but today you beat Li Xiaotao, and you have violated the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, and I, as a Lizheng, have to take care of it."
Mu Rongguang's face stiffened, "This ...... Li Xiaotao does not abide by women's morals and is not filial to her father, my second child was in a hurry to teach a few words, but I didn't expect her to talk back, so I couldn't control my actions...... Please also be accommodating. ”
Mu Jiu just opened his innocent big eyes, with tears in his eyes, and he didn't cry, like a stubborn and helpless child, "Grandpa Lizheng, my mother works every day in addition to work, where does the word "not abiding by women's morals" come from, do you want to invite the uncles, uncles, aunts, and aunts of the whole village together, so that everyone can come and say, what kind of person is my mother?" ”
Mu Cha felt distressed, "Okay! Let's go to the ancestral hall and talk about it. ”
Mu Rongguang hurriedly stopped, "No, it's just a small thing, don't waste everyone's time because of my small family." ”
Mu Cha had the intention of embarrassing Mu Rongguang, so he ignored him at all, and directly called his eldest son and asked him to go to the old family of the Mu clan and invite people to the ancestral hall.
"No!" Mu Rongguang exclaimed, "Qiao Ming, don't go, just take care of everything here with you, you don't need to alarm the clan elders!" ”
Mu Cha's eyes squinted, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Mu, "Although I Mu Cha is not talented, but since I think that since I became the patriarch and Li Zheng, everything has been spoken in accordance with facts and reason, and there is no favoritism, today, I must make it clear in front of the clan elder, lest my sister-in-law say that I am partial to Mu Jiu in the future, where can I reason with me?" ”
"Nope! No! Mu Rongguang adheres to the previous procrastination policy.
Drag it over first, what do you want to say later, it's not up to them?
But Mu Cha was determined to make Mu Rongguang lose face in this matter, so he made a sloppy eye, attracted Mu Rongguang's attention, and let Mu Qiaoming go to the homes of several clan elders.
The whole village doesn't have to, the elders of the Mu family can still do it.
Everything is in Mu Jiu's plan, invite the clan elders, for the sake of face, Mu Rongguang will definitely compromise.
While waiting for Mu Qiaoming to invite the clan elder over, Mu Cha personally helped Mu Jiu up, "Good boy, you have suffered. ”
Mu Jiu wiped his eyes, and tears fell big and big, "Thank you, Grandpa Lizheng, Jiu'er is okay, it's just that my mother suffered, she was dedicated to this family, but in exchange for such a result." ”
Mu Cha immediately made a decision and instructed Mu Hongbo, "Hongbo go and invite Lin Langzhong to the Mu family ancestral hall!" ”
"No!" Mrs. Mu stopped in front of Mu Hongbo, "Let's talk about who will take the money in this invitation." ”
Mu Rongguang was so angry that he almost fainted, this time, it was a real whirlwind.
At this time, the dead old woman was still thinking about medical expenses, and the face of their family was about to be lost!
"Old man! What happened to you? Do you want to invite Lin Langzhong? ”
Mrs. Mu held Mu Rongguang and shook it exaggeratedly.
Mu Rongguang's head was dizzy, and he didn't even have the strength to push Mrs. Mu away, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Don't shake." ”
"Old man, anyway, they are going to invite Lin Langzhong, and when I go to the ancestral hall later, we will show you together, the medical expenses ......"
"Shut up!" Mu Rongguang was afraid that Mrs. Mu would say that Li Xiaotao would take the medical expenses, and in a hurry, he was much more sober.
Yes, he can't faint, or the old and stupid old woman doesn't know how big a basket to poke at him.
Whether Mu Rongguang wanted it or not, the group still went to the ancestral hall of the Mu family.
As Mrs. Mu walked, she chased after Li Xiaotao and scolded.
"You have no conscience, where is our family wrong? You are a mud leg, you go out to enjoy the glory of our family's scholars, and you actually lose our family's face in turn! You're going to end badly! ”
However, no matter how she scolded, Mu Jiu and Li Xiaotao just kept silent, lowered their heads, and were sad.
Mrs. Mu thought that Li Xiaotao and Mu Jiu were afraid of her, so she scolded even more.
In the end, the first person who couldn't stand it turned out to be Mu Rongguang, who scolded Mrs. Mu and said, "Stop scolding!" ”
"I just want to scold, scold them for having no conscience! It's actually going to the clan! ”
Mu Rongguang said a few more words, but Mrs. Mu was willing to listen, and scolded all the way to the ancestral hall, still unrelieved, and simply pointed at Li Xiaotao and kept scolding.
The few clan elders invited by Mu Qiaoming happened to walk to the entrance, and when they heard the voices inside, they were in a bad mood because they were disturbed to rest, but they became even worse, and they were so angry that they were angry.
"How can this be true? Our Mu family's reputation is going to be ruined by Mrs. Mu, a wicked woman! ”
"What does Mu Rongguang eat, he can't even take care of a mother-in-law!"
"As a scholar, I can't even manage my mother-in-law, it's a shame for our Mu family!"
Mu Jiu drooped his head and raised his head from time to time to look at the door, like a child who was abandoned at any time, very uneasy.
Mu Cha saw it in his eyes and sighed, "Jiu'er, don't worry, Grandpa Lizheng has this old face today, and he will give you an explanation." ”
