Chapter 180 has something else to say

The paper is a white and tough jade paper, the pen style is a round and healthy spotted bamboo tube lake pen, the ink is pine smoke ink, and the inkstone is precious round pool-shaped end inkstone——

Shen Muqing looked at it but secretly complained in his heart - just because the person who grinded the ink was the chic biological mother and the eldest wife of the Xiao family, Zheng.

"Although hosta and ginkgo are personal services, it is better to avoid them." The eldest lady pinched the sleeve of her dress with one hand and slowly grinded the ink with the other, "And there are some things that I said, and they may not be able to understand - I am really grateful that my aunt and grandmother can help me write this letter." ”

Shen Muqing smiled bitterly, thinking of the pleading gaze of the eldest lady just now.

It's because of chic - I like him, and I inadvertently treat his family more tolerant than others.

"The eldest lady has something to say-" Shen Muqing said softly, with helplessness in her tone that she didn't even notice.

When the eldest lady heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what to write?" ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

The eldest lady smiled at her: "I was fourteen years old when my father died. My father left me and my mother, four young brothers, twenty ships, and a lot of uncles and brothers on my feet. I am the eldest daughter, and my father raised me as a boy since I was a child. I took the money to get my betrothed family to return me, and then stayed at home to take care of the business that my father had left behind. Later, the younger brothers grew up one by one, married wives and had children, and became characters who could stand alone in the business field, but no matter the people outside or the people of their own family, when it came to the thirteenth room of the Zheng family, they only remembered that there was a Zheng Yueniang, and they didn't know that there were four brothers, Zheng Yuexian and Zheng Yuezhong-" Speaking of this, a warm smile appeared on her face, "I thought, it's time for me to retire from the Zheng family-but the brothers are unwilling, first, because they feel that they can be lazy at home, and second, they are afraid of others gossiping, I'm afraid that others will say that they have become human beings, and they will drive their sister out of the house; Thirdly, he also felt that he could not afford to read me—I was twenty-eight at the time. ”

At the age of twenty-eight, even if you are in modern times, you have to start worrying about marriage, not to mention ancient times - if you get married early, I am afraid that your grandson will be in your hands.

However, since the eldest lady started with this, it must have a good intention!

Shen Muqing didn't say anything, and listened with a smile.

The eldest lady smiled even more when she saw it.

"I think the best of both worlds is for me to ask for a marriage myself—so when the old lady came to propose, my brothers didn't agree, but I agreed.

Why not agree?

Shen Muqing couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"At that time, there was already a house called Tea Rust next to the master, and he also gave birth to his eldest son, Xiao Cheng."

Shen Muqing wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he still didn't make a sound.

The eldest lady looked at her and said with a smile: "I didn't agree to it, but when the old lady heard that the old lady wanted him to marry me, he came from Lincheng to negotiate with me." ”

Shen Muqing's mouth opened wide in surprise.

But a trace of bitterness flashed in the eyes of the eldest lady: "He ran from Lincheng to Jinzhou, and said that Cha Rust is the woman he likes, but unfortunately his background is too low, and the family will never agree to him marrying Cha Rust as his wife, if I promise to let Cha Rust be a concubine in the future, he supports the old lady to give me the right to operate the Xiao family's business, and also said that Cha Rust will never enter the door of the Xiao family, and the children she gave birth to will never enter the Xiao family tree." ”

But later Xiao Cheng returned to the Xiao family - although he was not ranked among the brothers, he entered the family tree as a concubine.

Shen Muqing looked at the eldest lady, with sympathy and regret in his eyes, but more pain - while the eldest lady's gaze at Shen Muqing became as soft as moonlight.

"I was young at the time, and I told my mother's house that I was the same. It's that the uncles in the other rooms see that my business is getting bigger and bigger, and they are getting better and better, even if they are dissatisfied, they have to endure three points. In the end, it's because I have the ability to make money. The old lady wants me to go to the Xiao family to be the eldest daughter-in-law, isn't it because I can make money? I saw that the old man spoke and acted with the style of a gentleman and frankness. I thought, instead of marrying someone who doesn't know the roots, it is better to marry him. You can also get the right to operate the Xiao family's business, although it is to make wedding dresses for others, but if I have a son in the future and help him become the head of the family, this money is not mine. ”

"So, you insisted on getting married?" Shen Muqing really couldn't help but gossip.

The eldest lady's expression was hesitant, and the corners of her mouth murmured for a long time without making a sound.

Shen Muqing sighed.

From the current situation, it can be known that after the eldest wife married into the Xiao family, things did not develop as she wished.

"No, no, no." Seeing Shen Muqing frowning, the eldest lady hurriedly argued, "The old man didn't break his promise. It was a lot of things that happened later – and we got to this point! ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

Big wife, are you saying good things about your husband?

"I just took over the Xiao family's business, and I want to do a good job in the business wholeheartedly, lest the old lady think that I have wasted my reputation - husband and wife get together less and leave more - there is no movement for three years - and then I finally got pregnant, but when there were still two months before the birth, the old man suddenly went out, and I found out that there was another son over there - I was not at home before, and some things at home are not too clear. When I was doing confinement at home, I found out that the old man had fallen out with the family because of the tea rust, and the old lady kicked him out of the house, so he ran the boat outside, and later became the leader of the Yangzhou gang of the Cao Gang, and everyone on the Cao Yun knew that Xiao Zhao, the leader of the Yangzhou Gang, had a wife named Cha Rust, and the eldest son was called Xiao Cheng——"

"How so?" Shen Muqing lost his voice and said, "Didn't you find out before?" No one in the Xiao family has a mouth for you? ”

"I used to disdain to talk to people about those parents." The eldest lady smiled sourly: "I, I'm stupid, right? ”

Shen Muqing was speechless.

"Xiao Cheng is very smart, although the old lady does not allow him to enter the door, but when the child is ten years old, he still asked someone to send a gift-" The eldest lady's eyes were a little dull, "So it doesn't matter if Xiao Zhao, the property of the Xiao family, wants to be or not-A few years have passed, but the old lady thinks that Xiao Zhao has the ability-I can't do that thing of crying, making trouble, and hanging myself, thinking about it, I made sense of the old lady, and passed Sa'er to the name of the fourth uncle, I just hope that he can get fame, and then don't go back to this family to fight for the position of the head of the family, Live your little life well—as a result, I sent Sa'er out, and he came back to make trouble, and wanted Xiao Cheng to recognize his sect—I didn't bother to care about these things anymore, so I took a few of them with me to the Xiao family's companion room to Guangdong—"

In this case, Xiao Sa's father has already become independent, why would he marry a woman he doesn't like as the old lady wants? Why did he give birth to another daughter after Xiao Sa? I don't know how old Xiao Sa's sister is? What does it look like?

Shen Muqing was curious, but he didn't dare to ask.

After all, the eldest lady is an elder, and this is a family matter of the Xiao family!

"I went for a few years, and when I came back, Sa'er didn't recognize me anymore—and then he burned down the ancestral house, and never said a word to me again—I knew he hated me—but when I knew, it was too late—" The eldest lady burst into tears, "and he didn't tell me that he didn't talk to the master—you don't know how happy I was when Pang Debao came to borrow money from me—and thought that if he wanted to, I would learn to be a female celebrity, and help him take care of the children and help him take care of those properties in the future—now, let me write to him, I don't know what to say at all? ”

She burst into tears.

Shen Muqing hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gave it to her: "Don't cry!" Xiao Sa is not that kind of person. Surely he is the same as you and does not know what to say to you? Whatever you write to him, he will be happy to hear it! ”

The eldest lady clenched his hand tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Really, he really doesn't hate me? ”

With a begging face, begging Shen Muqing to give her a positive answer.

Only then did Shen Muqing discover that the roots of the eldest lady's sideburns had a faint silver white.

She thought of Xiao Sa's rescue outside the temple, and when the old man was in trouble, he dressed up as a young man in the store and went to collect debts——"

"No, he's the best!" Shen Muqing's tone was affirmative, "He won't hate you." He just doesn't know how to express it? ”

"No wonder he thinks you're good." The eldest lady's tears fell again, "Others say that he is ruthless, only you understand him and know that he has a good heart!" ”

Shen Muqing's face turned red.

What the eldest lady said—

"Maybe everyone looks at the problem from a different angle!" Shen Muqing hurriedly explained, "There is a conflict of interest between him and his cousins, and it is natural that there are contradictions. ”

The eldest lady wiped her tears and nodded: "The second sister also said that Sa'er has a good heart!" ”

Shen Muqing smiled wryly.

"By the way, I heard from the second sister that you sent her to Sa'er at that time?"

Shen Muqing was stunned when he heard this.

When did he let Xiao Sa take her in—this is too good?

The sharp light in the eldest lady's eyes was fleeting.

"Said that you looked at her pitifully and had nowhere to go, so let Sa'er take her in." The eldest lady looked a little disapproving, "You are young, and it is natural for you to feel pity when you see people in trouble, but you can take people in, and it depends on who they are." The second sister is used to walking around in the wind and dust, and she has never seen anything. Such a person, you meet and give some money, forget it. You can't bring it into your house again. ”

What's going on?

Is it an excuse made by Chioc to prevaricate the eldest wife?

Shen Muqing felt very uncomfortable, but in front of the eldest lady, she really couldn't say anything. In case of any misunderstanding caused by this, wouldn't Xiao Sa blame the eldest lady when he came back - the already tense relationship would be even more tense at that time.

She replied vaguely and said with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi has to make the decision in this matter." ”

The eldest lady looked at her and nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "At that time, Xiao Sa told me that she was someone from Lord Zeng, and I thought that it would be a good thing to rely on friends outside, if I could have a relationship with Lord Zeng." Later, I heard her say that you are her savior, and it was Xiao Sa who you asked her to find, so I asked her to help me introduce you. She is a little childish in her words and actions, I see that she has not come out for so long, I am afraid that she does not know the severity of her words and offended the sisters of your mansion, so please forgive me. ”

Shen Muqing is a smart person, and he can't hear the eldest lady's ulterior motives.

It's just that the contradiction between her and her second sister can't be explained clearly in a few words.

She smiled and changed the subject: "What do you think is written in the letter?" The letter is written, and I have to send it to Lord Nawang as soon as possible—it is estimated that he will leave for Bahe in the next few days! ”
