Chapter 191: Wrestling (2)

The little girl lifted the curtain, and the eldest lady walked in. The eldest lady gently wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief in her hand, and stepped forward to greet Rong.

Xun Qingran and Qi Wanli hurriedly stood up to greet the eldest lady, and the second lady Qi also stood up and greeted the eldest lady.

After seeing each other, the eldest lady sat down on the chair above the second lady of Qi.

"Second wife, what's the matter?" The eldest lady saw the strip of cloth on the forehead of Second Lady Qi at a glance and asked with concern.

"It's just a bit of a headache." Second Lady Qi smiled reluctantly.

"Alas, it must be an old problem with a headache? It's not that you are the most taboo in this disease, why don't you take care of it in the house? The eldest lady asked.

Second Lady Qi couldn't say that her illness was not in the way at this time, so she had to smile and say, "How did the eldest lady come back so early?" ”

"It's my mother, when I heard that the old lady was always a little tired recently, the second wife was also often sick, and the second grandmother was raising a baby, so she blamed me, so she should stay at home more at this time and help take care of me more, so she urged me to come back before the Dharma was done." The eldest lady said.

"The in-laws are very thoughtful." Rong squinted.

"I just came in the door, and I heard that everyone in the house was saying that the fourth master was appointed abroad and was going to take office? How could I hear that the sixth girl was going to change the marriage date, what happened, could it be related to the fourth master's foreign appointment? The eldest lady asked in a series of questions.

Second Mrs. Qi picked up the teacup, pretended to drink tea, and did not speak.

Xun Qingran smiled and said the second lady Qi's plan, but she didn't say that the second lady Qi planned to let the citron and Qi Yu take office.

“…… The second wife was worried that there was no one at home to preside over the feed, so the sixth sister had this remark. Xun Qing said.

After hearing this, the eldest lady feigned anger and said, "Dye girl, I don't like to hear what you say." I didn't even know that this was already the case at home, why did you leave and there was no one to preside over the feed? What do you think of me as my aunt? Can I just know that I have enough to eat and sleep every day, and ignore the family budget, so that I have to break up your little husband and wife, affect your children, or drag the six girls into old girls? ”

Xun Qingran and Qi Wanli both stood up and laughed at the eldest lady.

"The eldest lady is angry."

The eldest lady snorted and glanced at Second Lady Qi with some smugness.

Her words were obviously reprimanding Xun Qingran, but in fact, she poked at the heart of Second Mrs. Qi. It's just that she and Second Mrs. Qi are concubines, so it's not good to point directly at Second Mrs. Qi's nose and ask, "You treat me like a dead man, you can't preside over housework, and I still have it." I'm not like you, who holds the power of the housekeeper, but doesn't do anything, and only pushes it to the juniors. ”

Second Lady Qi naturally heard what the eldest lady meant, the smile on her face disappeared, and she raised her eyes to look at the Rong family. She thought that the Rong family did not want to see the eldest lady, and would definitely block it. But Rong didn't mean to speak at all, but rubbed the top of the official's head, half-squinted, and seemed to be asleep.

Second Mrs. Qi was a little anxious, she pretended to be sick, saying that no one was to manage the housework, but she wanted to leave Xun Qing to dye. She didn't want to hand over the power of housekeeping to the eldest lady. In that case, what is the point of her hard work all these years. You can't let the eldest lady pick this cheap. Second Mrs. Qi turned around and gave Mama Zhang a look behind her. Mama Zhang quietly retreated.

"The eldest lady misunderstood. I often hear my lord say that most of the officials in the court leave their daughters-in-law to support their elders, and they have fulfilled filial piety, and these officials can also have no family burden, and serve the country and the people wholeheartedly. So I thought, Yu'er should be like this. Besides, the old lady likes to dye the girl, and we are all a little older, so it is good to be filial to the old lady if the girl stays. ”

Rong still squinted and didn't say a word.

"Second wife, it's not that I'm going to dismiss you. That's a bit ridiculous. I've also heard the eldest lord say that those are just rich people in the countryside, and they haven't been officials for a few lifetimes, and they can mess up the dignity of the elders and the young. What kind of people are we, how can we learn from them? Besides, the young couple has only been married for half a year, and the family is not really empty, so they have to break up the little couple. There is another one, we are eighty years old, and we are also the daughter-in-law of the old lady, so we should serve the old lady. I know that the second wife is more delicate, and I can still resist beating, and I wish I could do my filial piety in front of the old lady every day. ”

Second Lady Qi's face turned a little blue.

The eldest lady straightened her waist and was comfortable. In this house, although she is the eldest daughter-in-law, she is a continuation, and her background is not as good as that of the second lady of Qi. As soon as she entered the door, she was stumbled by Second Lady Qi a few times, and she lost the favor of the Rong family. It is Qi Xiu's marriage, and it is also the niece of the second lady of Qi's mother's family. This second grandmother is just a face to her, a serious mother-in-law, but she has the same heart as the second lady Qi. Gradually, the aunt and nephew coaxed the Rong family, took charge of the family business, and left her aside more and more, making her, the eldest son and daughter-in-law who was supposed to be in charge of the family, an idler.

She must take this opportunity to grasp the power of the family in her hands, and let Second Lady Qi see her methods.

A girl brought tea up, Xun Qingran hurriedly stood up, took the tray, and personally served the tea to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady smiled and took the tea, "The fourth master was released and promoted, which is a good thing." You just have to follow him with peace of mind, so that he can take care of him, and I will be at home. ”

Xun Qingran just laughed with him, and retreated to Rong's side.

The eldest lady is even more proud, it is rare for her to have such a time to raise her eyebrows, she must reward Mama Yuan well when she goes back, and that Mrs. Ping, and give more benefits.

The eldest lady couldn't help but remember that she was playing Jiao with her mother's sisters in the temple, and this Yuan Mama suddenly called her to the side to talk. It turned out that Mrs. Ping from Qi You's courtyard came to find Mama Yuan, but she came to report the news. Qi Yu wants to be appointed outside, this time it will be three years and five years, the second wife's headache has flareed up again, there is no one to take care of things at home, there is no way, so Xun Qing will be left to take charge of the housework.

"This lady is good friends with the slave, so when she has this news, she will tell the slave. Madam, this is a great opportunity. The fourth grandmother is outside, the fourth grandmother naturally has to follow, the big * grandmother has always been as long as she takes care of the uncle and Brother Zhang, there is nothing else, the sixth girl is about to get married, the second grandmother is raising the fetus, the second wife is sick again, and she can't take care of things, and the only one who can be a director in this house is the wife. The second wife must understand, but she would rather leave the fourth grandmother than hand over the power of the housekeeper to you, Mrs. But I forgot that according to the rules, this family should have been in charge of your wife. Madam, this is a great opportunity not to be missed. Mama Yuan persuaded her.

She was intrigued.

The slave heard from Mrs. Ping that the fourth grandmother didn't care about the housekeeper's errand, which meant that she should be willing to follow the fourth master to take office. The wife took this opportunity to take back the power of the family, and she could sell the fourth grandmother a favor, and there was nothing better than this. Mama Yuan said again.

Mama Yuan's words were about to reach her heart, so she hurriedly put down the Dharma and rushed back. But it was just right to come back, so that the Rong family and Second Lady Qi had no other choice but to hand over the power of the family to her. Her few words also made Second Mrs. Qi deflated, let the Rong family know her filial piety, and let Xun Qing dye her favor.

There was a moment of silence in the room, Rong seemed to be asleep, and the eldest lady glanced at the second lady of Qi again, and the old lady didn't speak for a long time, obviously agreeing with her statement.

"Second wife, you can rest assured to recuperate. This family will be handed over to me to manage, the old lady, and I will do my filial piety for you, they are young couples, so let them go to the foreign office to be officials with peace of mind. ”

………………

In the upper room of the pomegranate courtyard, Grandma Qi Er was reclining on the kang, listening to Dong'er report to her the news she had just received.

"The fourth master is going to Pingxi Town to take office, and I don't know how long I will go. The second wife had a headache and was at the old lady's, saying that she would leave the fourth grandmother down to manage the housework. Dong'er said

"The fourth master is so old, he is officially awarded the second grade." Grandma Qi Er sighed.

Dong'er peeked at Qi Er's grandmother's face and didn't dare to answer.

"The second wife wants the fourth grandmother to stay and take care of the house?" After sighing, Grandma Qi asked.

"Yes, Grandma. It is said that the grandmother wants to raise the fetus, and it is not good to work before and after childbirth. Dong'er said.

Grandma Qi Er was silent.

"Grandma is good at giving birth, don't worry about it. The second wife was reluctant to let the fourth grandmother stay. When grandma's body is well-raised, it is reasonable that grandma should take charge of the housework. Dong'er said.

Second Grandma Qi sneered and pointed at Dong'er's forehead, "You girl, you are getting better and better at talking." ”

Dong'er laughed silently.

Second Grandma Qi leaned on the pillow, how could she not be aware of Second Lady Qi's attitude towards Xun Qingran, but this was only good for her, and she only pretended not to know.

"Mama Zhang is here," the little girl outside reported.

"Come in, please." Second Grandma Qi commanded.

The little girl opened the curtain, and Mama Zhang hurriedly walked in.

"Mama is in a hurry?" Second Grandma Qi asked in surprise.

"Second grandma, go and help......" Mama Zhang said.

………………

Second Mrs. Qi didn't know how to deal with it, when she heard the little girl outside report loudly: "Second grandma is here." ”

Rong's hand moved, and Second Lady Qi's eyes lit up. Only the eldest lady frowned.

The door curtain was raised, and I saw that several mothers-in-law had already reached the porch with soft pockets, and Dong'er and another little girl were helping Grandma Qi Er get down from the soft pocket and slowly walked into the door.

Second Grandma Qi came in and saluted Rong's, Mrs. Eldest and Second Mrs. Qi one by one.

"That's it, I've already said that I've exempted you from these rules, and I'm going to sit down." Rong's family didn't let Grandma Qi Er's salute.

Second Grandma Qi apologized, and sat down with Dong'er's support.

"It's not that the doctor said that you want to rest in bed, it's not early or late at this time, it's not the time to say goodbye, why come over. But I don't take the second master's heirs too seriously. The eldest lady said coldly.
