Chapter 628: Slapping the Old Face
The eldest princess snorted coldly, "That old thing has done so many evil things, harmed his own granddaughter, and ruined his son's marriage and future, why don't you know how to restrain it...... Liu is a good man, the man went to the battlefield, and insisted on marrying into the Lu family, honoring his elders and raising his son. She doesn't know how to cherish such a good daughter-in-law, but she wants to rub her ......"
But Mrs. Lu is Lu Man's own grandmother, and because she has a conflict with the Liu family this time, even if the eldest princess wants to teach her a lesson, she can't be too right. She thought about it and explained a few words to Guo's father-in-law.
A moment later, Lu Man and Gonggong Guo walked out of the Heming Hall together. Guo Gonggong held a tray in his hand, and a string of agarwood prayer beads and a jade ruyi were placed on the tray.
Lu Man returned to Donghui Courtyard and let Lu Feng rest here and stay here at night. and asked Mama Wang and Mama Liu to go to the front yard of the house over there, and go to Lu's house with Gonggong Guo.
Because Gonggong Guo wanted to reprimand Mrs. Lu on behalf of the eldest princess, several people took the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion and followed a few guards.
When the carriage arrived at the door of Lu's house, Grandpa Guo, Mama Wang, and Mama Liu got out of the carriage, and the guards knocked on the door, and Grandpa Guo shouted loudly at the door, "Spread the old lady Lu, the second lady Lu, and the eldest princess to ......."
The porter was so frightened that he hurriedly welcomed them in, and ran madly to the inner courtyard to spread the word.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Lu walked out quickly.
Gonggong Guo sang again, "The eldest princess ...... the oratory"
Mrs. Lu and the others hurriedly knelt down.
Guo Gonggong said, "Liu, the wife of General Lu Fangrong, is diligent and supple, knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous. Today, Linger went to the eldest princess's house, copied two Buddhist scriptures on behalf of the palace, and enshrined in front of the Buddha. Another agarwood rosary is a string, and jade Ruyi is a handle. ”
Liu said in a loud voice, "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie." "Took the rosary and the jade ruyi with both hands.
Gonggong Guo said again, "Second Mrs. Lu, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is still waiting, let's go with our family." ”
Liu said, "Yes." ”
And they all stood up.
Mrs. Lu's face was flushed, her body shook a few times, and she was supported by Mrs. Lu. She knew that the eldest princess not only praised the Liu family and helped the Liu family, but also slapped her old face. The houses here are all small, and the neighbors can hear the loud voices in the yard. The reason why she cried and scolded was because she wanted to create Liu's bad reputation. But she didn't want to, the eldest princess sent a eunuch to praise the Liu family, and these words were heard by the neighbors again......
Liu said to the old lady, "Mother-in-law, where the daughter-in-law went?" ”
The old lady didn't dare to say that she wouldn't let her go, but she really couldn't say anything to let her go, and her eyes widened at her.
Gonggong Guo's face sank and asked, "Old Madam Lu, are you unwilling?" ”
Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "Oh, no, don't dare." ”
When Liu heard this, he followed Gonggong Guo and Mama Wang out. When they walked to the door, they happened to meet Lu Fangming, who was under the government.
Lu Fangming's face sank like water, his eyebrows twisted into a strand, and his mouth pursed into a slit. When you see them, quickly relax your facial expressions. smiled and arched his hand at Guo's father-in-law, and said to Liu, "Brother and sister, my mother is old and a little confused, don't take it to heart." ”
Liu was speechless, and was helped into the carriage by Mama Wang and Mama Liu, and the other two girls who followed her also sat up.
As soon as the carriage and guards left, the gate of the Lu family was closed.
Master Lu was mad, he walked up to the old lady, looked at her with a heavy face, gave Mrs. Lu a mouth with his backhand, and scolded, "Stupid woman, there is such a big thing in the family, why don't you let people go to the yamen to find me?" ”
This is the first time he has beaten Mrs. Lu, and he is still a big family in front of his master.
Mrs. Lu cried and said, "Lu Fangming, I have been married to you for more than 20 years, I have children for you, and I respect my elders, how can you treat me like this!" So saying, he stepped forward and grabbed him.
Master Lu said, "If you dare to spill again, you will go back to my parents' house for me!" ”
Mrs. Lu stopped, and the two mothers-in-law hurriedly came to help her back to her yard. The thirteen-year-old fourth girl, Lu Xue, was a concubine, trembling with fright, and followed them.
Mrs. Lu reacted and shouted, "Boss, are you calling me?" ”
Master Lu knelt down suddenly, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried while kowtowing, "Mother, my son begs you, my son begs you, if you continue to make trouble like this, my son will only die in front of you......"
Liu was taken back to Donghui Temple, and it was already on the lights. She was embarrassed, her hair was messy and wrapped in a bandage, her face was flowery, because she hadn't eaten at noon, she had been punished for kneeling, she was unsteady when she walked, and she was always supported by Mama Liu.
Lu Man and the others had already eaten, and only Lu Man and Lu Feng were in the main courtyard, and everyone else avoided them.
Liu Shi took Lu Man's hand and burst into tears.
Lu Man said distressedly, "Madam, where can you go, if you go, can Cheng'er still shut you out?" Or, go back to Qujiang Town directly and send someone to tell the old lady that you are not good. Behold, such a great sin has been suffered. ”
Liu said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Second Aunt, Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, I really have no choice." I married into the Lu family for more than half a year, and every time the old lady made trouble unreasonably and got me and Chang'er Feng'er back to toss, I swallowed my anger or avoided its edge. But I can't back down on this matter today, it's about the relationship between the master, Chang'er, Feng'er, and me, our family and you, Cheng'er, and Sister He. I can't make any concessions, I can't let her have nothing to do in the middle. Otherwise, the relationship between the lord and you, which has been eased with great difficulty, will be ruined again......"
She was a wise and sensible woman.
After serving Liu Shi and letting her eat, Lu Man rubbed her wound again and bandaged it again.
After that, Lu Man accompanied Liu to Heming Hall to kowtow to the eldest princess. Since the eldest princess's excuse was to let her copy the Buddhist scriptures, she stayed in Donghui Temple for five days and returned home after copying two Buddhist scriptures.
He Cheng heard that Liu was angry with the old lady because of himself, so he led Liu Xirui back to Dongfeng Hui and sent some supplements to Liu. After that, I still went to Lu's house, and after recognizing my relatives, I didn't stay for dinner under the pretext that there was a surgical patient, and took Liu Xirui away directly.
On the fifth day of the eighth month, He finished copying Buddhist scriptures and said goodbye to the eldest princess and returned to his home in Qujiang Town. went back with Liu, as well as Lu Man and a few children, Lao Pony, Ding Yuying and brothers.
Tomorrow, He Cheng will take his new daughter-in-law to the Lu family there to recognize his relatives, and the people in Lu Fangrong's house, except for Lu Yuan, will be in the Lu family, which is also a respect and affirmation for the Liu family. Lao Ma and Ding Yuying's sister and brother went to travel with them.
Ding Yuying has already agreed with Mr. and Mrs. Ding San through Liu Guogong and his wife that Ding Xiaoqi will live in Mr. Ding San's house for a long time in the future, and Ding Yuying will pay 200 taels of silver for living expenses every year. When Marquis Ding heard about it, he also agreed, and said that the living expenses of the two hundred taels of silver would be paid by his father. Returning to Beijing from Qujiang Town, Ding Xiaoqi will go to Ding San's house.
