Chapter 20: Breaking the Deadlock
After eating, the old lady was in a displeasure mood, even if she was embarrassed Zhiyuan's daughter-in-law Guerjia, she couldn't find a reason, the duke's palace servants were a bunch of villains, and the old lady didn't have the face to have to serve Guarjia, and she spread it quickly, but it seemed that she treated her daughter-in-law lightly, fulfilled the reputation of Guerjia's filial piety, and added a good reputation to Zhiyuan, the old lady could only endure this breath, and used it to comfort herself for a long time.
"The parents are not separated, the master is still alive, and everything is in the official." Although the old lady is biased, she has been a family for a lifetime, and she takes her property very seriously, and she quickly thought of letting
Zhiyuan and his wife were not happy, and looked at Zhiyuan with a little relief: "I heard that you will be promoted to the third grade?" Stepping into the third grade, there must be a lot of silver, your two younger brothers are not very competitive, and they still need the support of your eldest brother, the Duke's Mansion seems to be prominent, but it is all superficial kung fu, that is short of silver, if it is not for the granddaughter Zhiqing who saved a person who knows how to repay the favor, how can the Duke's Mansion be so rich. ”
From the old lady's mouth, Shu Yao understood the approximation, it was nothing more than that her cousin went to the temple to pray for the second aunt and saved a distressed medicinal herb merchant, and they all said that businessmen value profit over righteousness, but this person is an exception, he is very grateful to his cousin, and uses his way to send his cousin Li Zhiqing ginseng, etc., and the Duke's Mansion also has a lot of benefits.
Seeing that the Guerjia clan did not answer, the old lady said directly: "Zhiyuan's money? “
"Eniang, according to the rules of the Duke's Palace, hand over half of the officials." Zhiyuan said: "My son has two sons and a daughter, and my son has to plan for their marriage." ”
"The marriage of grandchildren is all in the official." Of course, the old lady hopes that all the silver of Zhiyuan Yulu will be handed over, and Guerjia said: "It's better to follow the rules, our lord has handed in too much, and outsiders look like they are filial and have a good name, but they are not very good for the second and third brothers." ”
The implicit meaning of the Guerjia clan is that they are all surrounded by children who have already started a family, and they are still supported by their brothers, how embarrassing it is, what face does Zhicheng have to compete for the title? The old lady pondered for a while and chuckled: "I mean to follow the rules, so it's set." ”
"Yes." Zhiyuan responded, and the old lady said trustingly to the Guerjia clan: "I see that you are a shrewd person, my spirit in the past two years has not been able to catch up with the past, the affairs of the house have already been discussed, the third daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law help me cook, although the account warehouse key is still with me, but most of them are Zhiqing Banchen, people are old and have poor mental eyesight, just waiting to enjoy the blessings of their children and grandchildren." ”
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "You can also help out," signaling the big girl Jade to give the key to Guerjia's family, and after seeing the key, Tong Jiashi, the wife of Mrs. Zhicheng, the third room, smiled a little stiffly, and her eyes were a little hot, she was helping the old lady take care of the housework, but the financial power has been in the hands of the old lady, she is just running errands.
"I will hand over the utensils in the house to you, but you can also be more fine, many of the utensils in the treasury are old, and they are all used during the New Year's sacrifice."
The third lady is balanced, the old lady is not completely confused, the utensils are the most easily damaged, and the errand that Guerjia took is not necessarily a good thing, with a little schadenfreude: "E-niang trusts the second sister-in-law, you are a great responsibility." ”
Guerjia took the key with a smile and said, "E-niang, don't worry, the daughter-in-law will not be missing, the third brother and sister are right, the sacrificial utensils are not a big responsibility?" ”
The third lady's smile was stiff, Shu Yao thought that the third aunt's teeth hurt again, and looked at the old lady as if she was not very comfortable. Shu Yao suddenly felt a little sympathy for them, obviously they didn't realize Eniang's personality of refusing to suffer, I remember Eniang mentioned in a trance, the people who manage the dishes are generally the grandmothers, the old lady just thought of the loss of the utensils, so that the Guerjia clan spent money, but she didn't expect the Guerjia clan to mention the sacrificial utensils in a few words, they suffered a loss, Shu Yao looked very happy, and cast admiration eyes to Eniang.
The old lady was really fed up, and sent Zhiyuan's family away early on the grounds of rest, and found a reason to scold the eldest daughter-in-law Nala, usually at this time the weak and widowed Nala is the old lady's punching bag, Nala knelt in front of the old lady in fear, her daughter Shu Yu shrank her body, and bit her lip with her head bowed, she wanted to speak for her mother, but she didn't know where to start.
It was Li Zhiqing who dismissed the old lady and let Nala get up, Nala threw a grateful look at Li Zhiqing with tears, Li Zhiqing smiled indifferently, the cowardly Nala clan is actually useless, she just looks at Nala and is pitiful.
The old lady asked her daughters-in-law to go back, and Liu Liu Li Zhiqing alone, and discussed with her whether the second wife Guerjia had other thoughts, Li Zhiqing suspected that Guerjia was not quite right, maybe Guerjia and she were from the same place, Li Zhiqing didn't want to recognize Guerjia, let alone hurt her goal, the old lady was the best person to deal with the temptation of Guerjia, even if Guerjia was wronged, could she dare to be unfilial to the old lady?
If the Guerjia clan is a Qing woman, then she is too much to carry it, and she really responds to the sentence that Jun is born and I am not born, I am old, she doesn't have to think about Brother Sisi, Li Zhiqing also thinks that she should be careful, when the good things in the space are taken out, you have to find a good excuse, the businessman is very obedient, Li Zhiqing made up a three-corpse brain elixir for him to use, he believed it, and was loyal to Li Zhiqing, for fear that she would not give the antidote.
Don't you know that although Li Zhiqing's space is magical, there is also a most noble and best elixir, but how can Li Zhiqing be willing to use it for him? The Three Corpses Brain Pill is just a prank, and the ancients believed in the unpredictable theory of gods and ghosts.
Returning to Kwai Garden, this remote courtyard is the residence of Shu Mulu Zhiyuan's family, Zhiyuan was a little apologetic, but Guerjia smiled and said: "The master still doesn't know me?" Looking at the remote, I can also run the most lively and comfortable, they want to take advantage of our family, hmph, it depends on whether I am comfortable or not."
"This... This... Madam, for the husband thinks that Eniang is kind-hearted,"
Guerjia looked at Zhiyuan helplessly, took the tea cup from Shu Yao, pushed it to Zhiyuan, and said, "I expected you to say this, forget it, the affairs of the inner house can't count on you, be your loyal servant and be a servant." ”
Zhiyuan tasted tea, "There is no lady to be a virtuous helper, and it is difficult to have a husband recently." ”
Guerga smiled, "How can I help?" It is the old man who is honest and honest, and her family is where she is today. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, the affection was lingering, Shu Yao snuggled up to the Guerjia family, enjoying the love of her parents, she was very satisfied with the current life, leisurely and quiet, and everything was not disturbed.
