Chapter 276: The Growth of the Xue Clan
When Feng said this, the maid sent to the kitchen happened to come in with a food box.
Xue Shi said: "Auntie, let's eat some food first, and talk slowly after eating." β
Feng Shi tossed for two days, and she was indeed so hungry that she couldn't stand it, and when the maid opened the food box, she smelled the unique fragrance of food, and her stomach screamed out of place.
"Madam, the only ready-made food in the kitchen here is some white porridge and flower rolls, and the cook said that if she needs anything else, she will make it immediately." The steward in the kitchen is now also a member of the Xue family, and everyone in the kitchen is very respectful to the Xue family.
"No, no, it's good to have these, don't bother anymore." Feng Shi said busily.
Xue knew that if he was hungry for a long time, he should not eat too greasy, and it was best to have clear porridge, so he obeyed Feng's intention and let the maid go down.
Xue asked Feng to have dinner in the flower hall, and she took Sanniang to the study next door.
"Sanniang, what do you think of Auntie coming back here?" Xue frowned, and saw that Feng was eating sweetly with his back to this side, so he asked Sanniang in a low voice.
Sanniang remembered Feng's words just now, and was a little helpless, Xue Ruyu's temperament was in trouble wherever she went. Originally, I thought that if she married in Tianjin, the Xue family would be cleaner, but now I think that Tianjin is still too close to the capital.
"Listen to what Old Madam Xue said...... Something should have happened, and I wanted to find my mother to be Aunt Ruyu's master. β
"This ...... Although the uncle of the Chen family first made the room pregnant, the Chen family really sent the two rooms away before they got married, and they must not have deliberately lost the cousin's face. My cousin's temperament ...... Listening to what my aunt meant, it seemed that I had started a move with my uncle, and I also injured my uncle. This...... If my cousin really did too much, I still helped her, which also made the Xue family shameless, right? But if I don't care about it, I can't say it. "Xue is very embarrassed.
Sanniang pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Let's see what Old Madam Xue says." If the request is excessive, the mother can use the excuse that the grandmother is now in charge. β
The two of them were talking softly, and their faces were natural.
Over there, Feng had already run out of food. She was hungry and worried about her daughter, so the meal was eaten quickly. A large bowl of wrinkles. Two flower rolls and a few side dishes were eaten.
Xue saw that she had eaten well, so he led Sanniang back to the hall.
Feng didn't even have time to rinse his mouth, so he pulled Xue Shi to complain again.
"Ruyu's temperament was spoiled by me, and somehow I quarreled with my wife without saying a word, and my wife was so angry that she fainted on the spot. When my uncle saw this, he said...... He said that he would divorce his wife. Feng Shi said that later, he was embarrassed, and anyone who saw it would say that Xue Ruyu was wrong. Jealousy, contradicting the mother-in-law, these are all big crimes.
Xue and Sanniang glanced at each other. It's a bit of a headache.
"Second Miss, we can't be abandoned like jade. Otherwise, her life would be over. Madam, the master is a big official of the third grade, how can the Chen family give the master face, you let the master send someone to scare the uncle, and the uncle will not dare to take a break from us Ruyu. Feng looked at Xue Shi Dao expectantly.
"Auntie, calm down. I think my uncle said that he was going to divorce his cousin, maybe he was just talking. Besides, the elder hasn't spoken yet, what can he do with what he says? Xue comforted Feng and said.
Feng Shi was anxious when he heard this: "Madam, didn't you see your uncle's expression at that time. He, he also asked Ruyu to be locked up, saying that he didn't let her come out to harm people. After the lady woke up, she kept shouting that her chest hurt, saying that she didn't care about this matter, didn't she mean that she also agreed with her aunt's retirement. β
Xue thought for a while and asked, "Who is in charge of my uncle's family now?" β
Feng Shi immediately said: "The outside affairs are my uncle's father, and the affairs of the inner courtyard have always been the eldest lady's decision, but the big things still have to be up to the old lady." β
"What is the old lady's attitude towards this matter?"
"When this happened, the old lady was in the Buddhist hall. I didn't see the old lady......" Feng Shi made a bitter face: "The old lady is very good to me and Ruyu on weekdays, if she is here, my uncle will not dare to say that." β
At this time, someone came in again to report that the Chen family in Tianjin had sent someone to come.
A few people were stunned for a moment, Feng came back to his senses and exclaimed, "It's my uncle's family who sent someone...... This...... What can I do? You won't be here to talk to us about divorce, will you? β
The Feng family has only been here for a while, and the Chen family has come, so they must also attach importance to this matter, and they should not divorce their wives.
Xue asked the maid, "But which master of the Chen family sent it?" β
"It was said that he was ordered by the old lady of the Chen family to take the old lady Xue back to the house, and he also brought a gift to the lady."
Feng Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he smiled: "It turned out to be an old lady, it seems that you want to make peace when you hear this?" Madam, you still have to support our face in front of the Chen family. Let their family know that our Xue family is powerful, and they will never dare to mention the divorce of their wives in the future, so that my Ruyu's waist in the Chen family will also be straight. β
Dare to beat her husband, even her mother-in-law can be stunned by her, this waist is not straight enough? Isn't that going to the house to uncover the tiles?
Sanniang saw Xue thinking about it, so she didn't speak. This is the Xue family's housework, she can't intervene at this time, and she also wants to see how the Xue family will deal with it.
Xue Shi looked up, saw Sanniang looking at her encouraging smile, understood what Sanniang meant, she nodded without a trace, and then ordered the maid to go and invite someone in.
When Feng saw it, he thought that the Xue family was going to support them, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
It was a mother-in-law about forty years old, who first asked Xue to say goodbye, and then went to Feng to say goodbye, but Feng was holding a shelf, turned his head away and ignored it, the mother-in-law was a little embarrassed on her face, but she immediately restrained her expression again, stood up respectfully, and talked to Xue.
"The old slave is the grandmother next to the old lady of the Chen family, the old lady was not at home, and when she heard that something happened at home, she hurried back, but learned that the young lady was locked up by the young master, and the wife of the in-laws was also angry with our young master. The old lady was furious, and had already punished our young master severely, and asked the young lady to come out, and immediately ordered the old slave to come and pick up the in-laws' wife back. β
Saying that, the grandmother smiled at the Feng family: "Please also ask the in-laws to forgive the young master for the sake of our old lady's face, and go back with the old slave, and the old lady said that she will make amends to you in person." β
Feng's heart was a little loose, and she didn't really want to leave the Chen family. just wanted to earn some face for his daughter, and relying on the Xue family to be here, he ignored it with a straight face.
Xue Shi saw it clearly, sighed, and invited the grandmother to sit down and talk with a pleasant face.
The old lady was a little surprised, she didn't dare to sit down, Feng frowned and was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to show the face of the Xue family. Originally, she was also observant, but this time it was because she thought that she had the support of the Xue family and the third master Wang, and she wanted to earn some face for her daughter, so she deliberately put on a shelf.
Xue smiled and said to the grandmother: "You are serving by the old lady's side, and the old lady is an elder." You are here again on behalf of the old lady this time, and it is right to sit down and talk back. As he spoke, he pointed to the brocade pestle that the maid had brought up.
The grandmother saw that Xue's smile was gentle and sincere, and she couldn't shirk it, so she sat down sideways.
Seeing her sitting, Xue asked gently, "Lady, is she better?" β
The grandmother was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "It's much better, it's much better, after taking a dose of medicine, I can already go to the ground." β
Xue nodded and sighed, "That's good." This time it was my cousin who was wrong, and when you go back, please wait for me to apologize to the old lady and the lady. β
"Second Missβ" As soon as Xue's words fell, Feng said hurriedly.
The grandmother hurriedly said: "Madame is serious, the old lady and the lady don't mean to blame the young lady." β
The Xue family didn't look at the Feng family, but only said to the grandmother: "Our Xue family is not an unreasonable family. What is right is right, and if it is wrong, you must admit your mistake, and you will not do unreasonable things. If someone takes advantage of the Xue family's power to be arrogant and unreasonable-" The Xue family paused, and his tone was rare serious: "Then it is not the descendants of our Xue family." β
Feng Shi listened to the pale face.
The grandmother was stunned for a moment, and called out to Madame, but there was no more speech.
She has served by the old lady's side for many years, so she naturally understands that it is expedient for the old lady to send her to invite the Feng family back this time, the Chen family is a merchant family, and she can't afford to offend a three-grade Beijing official like Xiang Wang Dong. Therefore, even if the eldest lady was angry and sick in bed by the young lady, the old lady had to scold the young master first in order to take care of the overall situation.
"Since my cousin married into your Chen family and married her husband, she is a member of the Chen family. The old lady and the lady are her elders, and she should be respected, and if there is a mistake, the lesson should be learned. No one will complain about this. Even if my father is alive, if we married daughters do something wrong, we will not hinder the elders of my husband's family from disciplining him. After all, if the daughter of the Xue family is at fault, it will also lose the face of the Xue family. β
When the grandmother heard this, she looked at Xue's eyes more respectfully. She also thought that the Xue family was down, so the daughter of the Qinggui family would land like the second young lady, and she didn't want her to misunderstand. This Mrs. Wang is the real lady from a famous family. There is such a bearing.
"It's just, one yard to one yard. I wonder, what did the Chen family say about the pregnant concubine? Xue asked seriously.
The grandmother was taken aback, but seeing that Xue's expression seemed to be asking about this matter, she didn't mean to be too harsh, and her heart was slightly relieved: "Our old lady said that this matter is not our Chen family, and the Chen family will give the second young lady an explanation." It's just that kid...... After all, it is the blood and blood of the Chen family, and if it is dealt with according to the words of the second young lady, I am afraid it will be against the peace of heaven. As she spoke, the grandmother glanced at Xue. (To be continued)
