Chapter 23: Who Says the Rules (3)
Master Qiu heard that Sanniang wanted to pray for him for safety and fasting for seven days, so how could he not agree to her going. Not only that, Bai He also said to Mo Zi that the old man had tears in the corners of his eyes, held Sanniang's hand, and said that he didn't hurt her in vain.
"The girl came back all the way, and her face was not very good-looking, and she sighed that if it wasn't for the wife's obstruction, the relationship between father and daughter would not be estranged." Bai He also sighed.
"I think our girl in this house is still good to the master, and I have to go to ask for peace once a day. I didn't see the six girls and the seven girls so diligent, but they circled around their wives all day long. Lu Ju lay on the bunk, his hands pillowed his head, and turned sideways to look at Bai He and Mo Zi, "I heard Jin Shu say that every time the six girls and seven girls go back to see the master, they dare not sit or eat tea, as if they are afraid that the master will infect them." The old man lost his temper and told them not to go in the future, but they really didn't go. ”
Jin Shu is the little scholar of Master Qiu.
"Not only the six girls and the seven girls, but the wife and the nine girls also sat down soon, and let the nurse lead them out after a little look. The old man is so pitiful. An eldest lady and a three-room aunt, seven children, and now only our girl has tea and medicine at the front of the bed. Bai He remembered what he saw in Master Qiu's courtyard during the day, and couldn't help but sigh.
"So, your godmother is luckier than the master. The lord had seven children, and only one of them was filial. Your godmother is just a goddaughter, but she is closer than her own daughter. "The dark purple bed is by the window, and the moonlight illuminates the cotton paper white.
"Really." Lu Ju also sighed, "Those of us who have no father and no mother, can recognize our relatives, and many elders who love us hate to be good to others." The young ladies and young masters who don't have to worry about food or clothing at home, and don't even have to move their fingers, dislike their parents for being old and sick. ”
"Don't say it, at least our girl isn't that kind of person." Bai He heard the drum even more, "Hurry up and sleep, tomorrow will be busy in the morning." ”
Miss Gu went out, especially to spend the night outside, which was a very troublesome and trivial matter. The general rules range from obtaining the permission of the parents, sending people to the nunnery to post and set the day, arranging the accompanying maids, servants, mothers-in-law, and small maids to care for the home, and ordering new clothes, equipping daily necessities, and even bringing their own bedding, as well as the books and chess they read on weekdays, and the four treasures of the study, it takes at least a month to go out of this kind of door that does not go home for seven days and nights.
However, this trip was decided in a hurry, and it was necessary to catch up with Wei's time in Cinian Nunnery, so the master was on time, and let the little maid go to the nunnery tomorrow to post, and set off the day after tomorrow.
"I don't know if my wife would make another fuss if she knew?" Midori muttered, turned around and fell asleep.
Mo Zi closed her eyes, not worried at all. Zhang's is making a fuss, won't Qiu Sanniang make a fuss? Each has its own way, let's see.
On the second day, Qiu Sanniang sent a small servant to Cinian Nunnery to deliver the post, so that he could get a letter and come back quickly. Mo Zi and the others packed their own luggage and were very busy.
Let's say that Qiu Sanniang didn't deliberately hide the news in the courtyard, but when Zhang learned that breakfast had been used this day.
"What did you say?" Zhang was angry and dropped the saucer.
Frightened, Ai Xing dodged to the side.
An Pozi is an old man in the end, she has never seen what the Zhang family looks like, her hands are hanging to her side, and she replied respectfully, "The third girl is going to the Cinian Nunnery to pray for the seven-day prayer ceremony." Early this morning, I sent someone to the nunnery to deliver the post. ”
"What is she doing here?" Zhang didn't know that his good sister lived in the nunnery, "I haven't been invited by her for the past two days, and she has become emboldened, thinking that I don't care about everything, right?" ”
"Madam, my little girl saw that the third girl went to the master's courtyard yesterday, and I think the master agreed." An Pozi was a bystander, "Otherwise, the third girl will not make her own decisions without your consent." ”
"What's the use of the lord agreeing! This is the inner house. The affairs of the inner house, no matter how big or small, are under my control. Even if she is the eldest lady, she has to listen to me, an old lady. The face in Zhang's small portal was finally revealed, "Ai Xing, you go and invite our eldest lady for me." I want to see how she can step out of the door of Qiu Mansion without my consent! "The anger hasn't been extinguished since that night.
When Ai Xing heard this, she happily walked out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was beaten, the fourth grandmother came in and pulled Ai Xing back.
"Madam, I just heard it outside, can you listen to me?" The fourth grandmother sat down next to Zhang's side gently, "Madame, don't be angry about such a trivial matter. I heard that Sanniang was going to the nunnery to Mu Zhai, but I also heard that it was to pray for the lord to keep him safe, and to show his sincerity and filial piety, he chose the seven-day ceremony. ”
Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then scolded Mrs. An, "Lao Pizui didn't make it clear to me earlier." ”
"Don't blame Mother An, I'm afraid Mother An doesn't know either." The fourth grandmother saw that Mrs. An was really busy and nodded, "Now that you know, if you don't let Sanniang go, I'm afraid that if it reaches the ears of the master, it will say that Mrs. is not." ”
"Even so, if I don't say a word, I still can't control this house in the future?" The cunning dead girl actually used filial piety to fight her.
Zhang was indignant and unsettled. I thought that although I couldn't kill Sanniang's girl that night, I finally threw Sanniang's face in front of so many people. She pretended to be dizzy behind her, and wanted Sanniang to bear the name of arrogance and unreasonableness.
"No matter how powerful Sanniang is, she will always get married." The fourth grandmother and Qiu Sanniang have never had a head-on conflict, because she has a "very capable" mother-in-law who doesn't bother herself.
"That's what I said, but she is the eldest lady of Qiu Mansion one day, and I can't sleep well." It's been to the point of such abhorrence.
"Mrs. married the palace first, and then it is not too late to find someone for Sanniang. The old man is not in good health, and the marriage is naturally decided by the wife. "Although the fourth grandmother has no intention of harming people, she has the intention of guarding against people," but if Mrs. does not let Sanniang go to Cinian Nunnery at this moment, people who don't know the inside story may talk nonsense. What's more, the old man agreed. ”
Filial piety is the foundation of all virtues. Prevent Sanniang from practicing filial piety, if the matter spreads like this, the Qiu family will make people scold, make people laugh, and make people despise and disdain.
"But let me let her go out so easily, I panicked." Zhang's eyebrows shrugged, and bad water appeared in his eyes, "Su Xin, you have to keep the key to the treasury tight." She wanted to pretend to be filial piety, but she didn't know me, so she bought all the items she needed for Mu Zhai on the seventh day. ”
The fourth grandmother, Jiang Suxin, knows her mother-in-law very well, and when it comes to this, if she persuades her again, Mars Zi may not jump on her, so she didn't squeak and nodded slightly.
"I don't expect the two of them." Zhang took the eldest daughter-in-law's hand, "I just hope that the fourth child and the two of you can support the family business and take care of the fifth family in the future." My daughter-in-law thought that I didn't know anything, so she bought things from her mother's shop as a gift to her mother's family, and bought things from her mother's shop at a shoddy or twice the price outside. I won't talk about it now, but I'll see how she explains it to me at the end of the month. It's also strange that Zheng'er is not angry, so that I can't straighten my waist in front of his daughter-in-law, and I have to accompany him with a smile. ”
"Ma'am, and relieved. Not to mention that the fifth brother is still young and uncertain, the husband is such a younger brother of the same mother, we don't take care of it, who else can take care of it? The fourth grandmother smiled warmly.
Qiu Sanniang's matter of going to Ci Nian Nunnery was resolved, I don't know if Zhang's heart was too hot, or Mo Zi's trick was strong in the name of filial piety, but no one explored its deep meaning, and only did some self-righteous deductions.
