Chapter 240: Torture

The Tao family is also a big family, and the position of Tao Zheng'an is still fought for by Mrs. Tao. The second old lady and the third old lady also tried their best to be the head of the sect back then, and the second old lady also took out the ancestral training for this reason, and almost excluded Tao Zheng from arranging Tao Zheng to be the head of the sect with the caution of those who were officials in the court.

After all, Mrs. Tao is a long house, Tao Zheng'an is a promising descendant of the clan, and Mrs. Tao is active in private, and she found several respected uncles in the clan to come forward, so that the position of the patriarch was determined.

Now the old lady invited the second old lady and the third old lady to the Tao family...... Especially when the old lady lost her temper with Tao Zhengan and his wife, the atmosphere of the entire Tao family was a little nervous, and the old lady didn't seem to be so simple to have a banquet at this time.

Rong Hua and Liao went directly to the old lady's yard, walked through the bluestone road, and the two little maids at the door of the main house stood outside with their heads shrunk, and when they saw Rong Hua and Liao, they saluted in a low voice, and then stepped forward to open the curtain.

When Rong Hua entered the house, he heard the voice of the second old lady, "Are you mistaken, you may not be able to find any of them." ”

Mrs. Tao said, "I remembered wrong? Written clearly in black and white, where there may be mistakes, I just want to leave it to Yaohua, so I let the girl make a list early, who knows when I want to take it out and use it, but it's gone, you say I can not be angry? ”

The room outside is full of things, there is a box open on the ground, the picture scrolls that were originally neatly placed inside are scattered everywhere, and there are all kinds of porcelain bottles and ornaments stacked on the other side, Rong Hua looked around, stopped for a while and entered the inner room, opened the glass curtain, and saw at a glance that the old lady was wearing a green Fushou pattern thin shirt, wearing a ginger chrysanthemum to wipe her forehead, half lying on the kang, Rui Qing knelt at the feet of the old lady and bowed her head to beat the old lady's legs, Next to the old lady sat the second old lady wearing a dark green longevity pattern gown and the third old lady wearing a red woven gold gown.

Mrs. Tao squinted her eyes, although her face was ugly, her eyes were still clear, and the two dark green hairpins on her head were shining in the sun, with a momentum that was difficult to ignore, and she was not lost to the three old ladies who were specially dressed.

The three old ladies have been thriving, the eldest man has done the Zhizhou of Zhili Prefecture, has a wide range of contacts in the DPRK, and there is no less competition with the big house on weekdays, but now I see that Mrs. Tao is sick, but she is worried, and even more Mrs. Tao talks about the past, thinking about the few old people who can talk at home, it is inevitable to feel nostalgic.

Hearing the sound of the curtain, the people in the house looked at Rong Hua.

Rong Hua and Liao stepped forward together and saluted.

The third old lady got down from the kang first, stepped forward and took Rong Hua's hand, "This kid, I can't stand this ceremony, I have taken a big sin if you bow your head." ”

Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "The third brother and sister are outside, this is the family, let's not limit this." ”

The third old lady pulled Rong Hua over and sat down, "This is not good, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the grade is amazing, there is an aunt and grandmother in our family who is now the wife of the second grade, and she goes back to her parents' house every day, and the family has to go to greet her." Saying that, he looked at Rong Hua kindly, "That's the rule set by the imperial court, how can it be messed up." ”

Mrs. Tao just smiled kindly, "That's not mine." ”

The third old lady said: "Let's just do it, we are going to enter the ground, relying on the old and selling the old, and they don't dare to do anything." ”

Mrs. Tao beckoned Liao to sit too, "The one in my belly is my little great-grandson, you must be careful, leave the outside affairs to others, you accompany us to talk in the house." ”

Hearing this, Liao's expression froze, and he stopped talking, and glanced sideways at Rong Hua.

Rong Hua knew that the old lady was holding a banquet, and the eldest lady was sick in bed, it must be the Liao family who went back and forth, and the old lady left the Liao family to speak, and there was no one outside.

The old lady seemed to have forgotten, and refused to let Liao leave.

The second old lady smiled and asked, "Master Hou is here?" ”

Rong Hua said: "Master Hou said, I will come over after the Ya today." ”

The second old lady nodded, "There were a lot of people when I recognized my relatives, but I just glanced at them from a distance." Hou Ye is a talent, and he has a bright future in the future, and you are a blessed one. ”

Rong Hua smiled shyly and did not deny it. It is indeed a blessing for her to be able to marry Xue Mingrui.

The third old lady patted the back of Rong Hua's hand, "This age is the best." The flowers are like bones, they haven't bloomed yet, and they will only get better and better in the future. ”

Listening to everyone praising Rong Hua, Mrs. Tao also became happy, her heart was relieved, she was sick, and she had enough confidence to speak, and said with a smile: "I know that you like to be lively, I asked people to find a famous team to sing in the hall," said after a pause, "I don't know if the flower hall is ready?" ”

Rui Qing's hand to the old lady's leg stopped.

The old lady frowned and looked at Rui Qing, "Why can't Mrs. come over?" Both old ladies are here, what is she doing? ”

And when they heard this, they all looked at one another.

The old lady said, "Go and see when the lady will come, and say that we are all in a hurry, and we are still waiting to listen to the meeting." ”

How dare the little maid in the house disobey the old lady's wishes, and hurriedly go down to spread the word.

The third old lady looked peaceful, "Isn't the eldest daughter-in-law sick?" Don't let her come over, it's all your own family, why bother talking so much. ”

Old Lady Tao sank her face, "Then where is it, when we didn't separate the family before, how could the elders come forward to serve, not to mention a salute, it should be shared." ”

Rong Hua got up and said, "I'll go see my mother." ”

Mrs. Tao said: "You don't need to look at it, she will naturally come over in a while, she is also a person who knows the general situation, why don't you understand this truth." As he spoke, he instructed the little maid, "Go and call the second lady quickly, and the elders in the family don't have to hide when they come." ”

The little maid answered, and Mrs. Tao said with a smile: "I can't leave that girl for a moment, and now that she is getting married, I don't know how uncomfortable I feel." ”

The second old lady was busy persuading, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and sooner or later they will go out, no matter where they marry, they are all girls from our family, and after thinking about it, let people find them back." ”

The third old lady looked at Rong Hua, "Your second sister is your grandmother's heart, and she is afraid of melting in her arms." ”

The old lady didn't move such a big liver fire for this granddaughter.

Everyone was talking in the house, and the maid came to the big lady's room.

The eldest lady is sneering at the old lady's actions, a few years ago, she avoided the second old lady and the third old lady in the clan, but now she invited them again, it seems that there is a deep affection, the old lady is just tossing in the house, and now she has to make trouble in the clan, hoping to let others know that she is seriously ill.

Thinking that Chen's mother went to the old lady's house to reply and was beaten, the eldest lady was angry, the old lady had this disease, and she couldn't make sense.

The eldest lady was thinking about it, when the little maid in the old lady's house came to say, "The old lady asked the eldest lady to come over." ”

When the eldest lady leaning on the big pillow heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief, and the resentment in her chest became even heavier, and she didn't care about anything else, and asked the maid, "I'm sick in bed and can't move, who in the clan doesn't know, if I can ask for peace, I'll be over a long time ago, and I still need to send someone to call." As he spoke, he moved his legs and feet with difficulty.

The little maid just passed the word, and didn't dare to answer the words of the eldest lady, but just stood aside tremblingly.

Mother Chen came out of the side room with ice on her face, looked at the little maid, and ordered, "You go outside and wait first, and call you in later." ”

As if she had been pardoned, the little maid hurriedly withdrew.

The eldest lady saw the red and swollen appearance of Mother Chen's face on one side, and the anger in her heart could not be suppressed, "The way I am now, those people are all dead, and they don't say anything for me in front of the old lady, let the old lady entertain me." You go and send someone to the old lady's house to reply, and she says that I can't get up, and I can't salute the elders of the clan. ”

Mother Chen sighed, put down the ice in her hand, and stepped forward to relieve the eldest lady, "If you want to open some, the old lady has this disease, and no one in the clan knows?" Now is the time to fulfill filial piety, won't Mrs. reply like this to be true? ”

"The old lady helped the old man a lot when she was young, but now that she is sick, how can the people in the house not respect the elder? It's better for my wife to be tired, so I asked my family to invite me over, and my wife sat on my shoulder and went over to take a look. ”

The eldest lady frowned unwillingly, "What else do I have to be inconsiderate?" Every day, I ask the house to buy the best medicine, even if I have limited mobility, isn't it three times a day? The old lady in this family still says what she says, when did I really make the decision? ”

Mother Chen looked left and right, "Mrs. is right, Mrs. has endured everything she should have endured over the years, and she will not ...... at this time."

The eldest lady sneered: "The old lady doesn't know if she is really confused, she has forgotten many things, and she remembers many things clearly." "Now that the elders of the clan have been invited over, what else can she do in front of everyone's eyes? When I think about it, I don't think it's as simple as it seems.

The eldest lady lifted the quilt, Chen's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help, the eldest lady tried to stand up, only moved a few times and sweated painfully, the eldest lady sat on the edge of the bed with a pale face, tears almost poured out of her chest, swallowed, and said half-choked: "Why is my life so bitter." ”

Mother Chen's eyes were red, "Madam, bear with me." "As long as you go to the old lady's house, this level will be passed.

……

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady in her shoulder, the eldest lady was half-lying and the whole person was not angry at all, and it was very difficult to move, especially a pair of eyes full of sadness and grievances.

Before the second old lady and the third old lady could speak, the old lady said: "Lang said, even if you are well raised, there will be a lot of activities, so that you can recover well," said and glanced at the second old lady, "These juniors are not like us, they always can't bear a little hardship, and they will blindly raise it, how can there be any benefit." Saying that, he sighed with concern, "At this young age, is it possible to have such a lifetime?" ”

I thought it would be in exchange for some sympathy, but I didn't expect it to be a sneer, the eldest lady's chest was stuffy, and her heart hurt hotly.
