When the old lady finished speaking, the room fell silent, and all eyes looked like the big lady.

The eldest lady gritted her teeth and swallowed. Could it be that she could still open her mouth to accuse the old lady? There are elders and juniors in the house, what did she say like this?

There can only be bitterness to swallow temporarily," the old lady said, it was the daughter-in-law's fault. ”

The old lady said: "This home was supposed to be handed over to you, so how can I rest assured?" Yaohua is about to get married, and the dowry is not ready yet, so will it be a joke for others to see when the time comes? You are like a nest, that is, I let people call you, and you refuse to come, I have to let people move everything out, I can't find anything out of my old eyes, and you are young but you don't help me watch, you want to force me to death? ”

And all the people in the room were amazed when they heard this.

The eldest lady didn't know how to say it, "Mother knows, my disease is indeed """

The old lady snorted coldly, "Didn't the imperial doctor come to see you and say that you are much better?" You're sicker than mine, and you want me to see you every day? ”

The eldest lady could feel almost all the inquiring gazes, mixed with surprise and contempt. Her reputation for being virtuous outside the country over the years was about to be ruined, and the eldest lady struggled to get up from her shoulder.

Originally, I was also going to make a show in front of people, but who knew that the maid next to me mistakenly thought it was true, and they all stepped forward to support it sincerely, so that the eldest lady had to be stunned there.

The old lady looked at Mother Chen next to her, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Something that has no eyes, don't help your master. ”

Chen's mother was scolded by the old lady, so she had to step forward to help the maid with her.

In this way, the eldest lady could only stand up in pain, and let people help her slowly walk to the old lady, "Mother" You are going to unjustly kill your daughter-in-law "How dare your daughter-in-law do this." ”

The old lady said: "How dare I wronged you, when I was young, I was a cow and a horse, and when I was old, I had no one to rely on, and you will be able to understand when you taste this taste in the future." ”

The eldest lady had nowhere to complain, so she only picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

The third old lady smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I should scold too, I look at the eldest daughter-in-law is still good, who in our clan doesn't know that she is virtuous and capable." ”

The old lady came to her senses when she heard this, and asked the maid beside her, "Where is Yaohua?" Why hasn't Yaohua come yet? ”

The maid outside said, "The second lady is here." ”

Rong Hua looked at the eldest lady's face. The eldest lady was not only scolded in front of her elders, but also disgraced in front of her daughter. After all, the old lady went to understand Yaohua, "That's why I asked Yaohua at this time, if the old lady didn't ask, everyone didn't know that Yaohua had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and what she said just now must have been heard clearly."

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Yaohua walked in.

Yaohua wore a water-green gauze shirt, tied a cyan knot on her head, and only inserted two or three Yingluo as decorations, her face was not powdered, and her lips were not colored, looking extremely haggard.

Rong Hua had already heard Chunyao say that the old lady let Yaohua run on both sides every day, and Yaohua's body was also delicate, so she tossed a few times and got up like this.

Now Yaohua deliberately turned her face to the sky and did not hide it, just to show the old lady that she was weak, so that the old lady would let her go, but unfortunately it was not the right time to use it this time, and it would only make people think that she was deliberately showing her grievances.

Are you not satisfied with this family business? Still not satisfied with the dowry?

Yaohua stepped forward to salute everyone, the old lady hurriedly beckoned Yaohua to sit on the kang, stared at Yaohua's face and looked at it repeatedly a few times before saying, "Poor child, what's the matter?" As he spoke, he glanced at the eldest lady meaningfully.

Yaohua followed the old lady's line of sight and happened to collide with the eldest lady's gaze.

The eldest lady's eyes were a little angry, and she was shocked when she saw Yaohua's heart, and hurriedly explained: "What is the matter with me, I am just worried about Zu Alas...... "......"

Yaohua's usual methods are very generous when she speaks, and every word is for the sake of others.

Rong Hua raised his head to look at the old lady.

The old lady sighed and said, "I don't know your mind, I don't know when I'm so sick that I'm going to close my eyes, and you're going to get married again, and I don't know when I'll see you." ”

clearly said that Yaohua should not marry out so soon, which not only swept the face of the eldest wife but also made Yaohua's heart tremble.

Yaohua's face was really ugly, for fear that the old lady would say something more.

The eldest lady couldn't help but explain on the side: "It's also a matter of no choice, first, it was decided early, and second, Chang Ningbo invited the emperor's grace, and the dowry was also given, our family can't regret it at this time." ”

Rong Hua and Liao looked at each other, picked up the tea and drank it, as if they hadn't heard anything.

The old lady said: "I didn't say that you will regret it now", "I just think this child is pitiful, in the palm of our hand at home, the body is still like this, and I don't know what will happen when I get to my in-law's house." ”

The old lady said here to look at the second old lady and the third old lady, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, but this child is by my side to make me happy, and this child knows how to be filial, and when I am sick, I serve at the bedside." I don't have anything else, but I have to give her whatever she likes. ”

The third old lady smiled: "The old people are not all in this mind, gold and silver are not long things, only the children around them are the real blessings." ”

What does this mean? It is to persuade the old lady to look away, and if the gold and silver are gone, forget it, and even count the big lady uā The old lady has so much money but has not fulfilled the responsibilities of her children.

These vague words were enough to make the eldest lady unbearable.

The old lady nodded, "What is in my house, naturally I can call the shots." Although Yaohua's dowry cannot be more than that of Rong Hua, these things I picked will not make her suffer. ”

didn't expect the old lady to mention her at this time, Rong Hua looked at the old lady, but the old lady's eyes fell on Yaohua completely.

The third old lady said: "That's right, the children in the clan should marry like Rong Hua, Rong Hua is the first lady of the imperial court, where can she trespass." ”

It was the tone of the elders of the clan.

The old lady said, "I think so too." As he spoke, he instructed the maid beside him, "Take the list I wrote to the eldest lady, I have to prepare all the things listed above, those things are what Yaohua likes, I have already promised to give it to her." ”

The maid sent Yaohua's dowry list, and the old lady first showed it to the second old lady and the third old lady next to her, and then handed it to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's face turned blue and white for a while, "Yaohua's face was also quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, the mother-in-law outside came in and said, "Just wait for a few old ladies to come over and start the play." ”

The old lady smiled and instructed the eldest lady, "We are all old, you let people prepare the soft couch, let's lie down and watch." ”

The eldest lady nodded, "Rong Hua got up to help, and the old lady stopped Rong Hua, "You follow the second grandmother and the third grandmother to talk for a while, and I'll go in and change my clothes." ”

Rong Hua stopped at this time.

The old lady took Yaohua's hand and got up, and called the maid again, "Let Rui Qing ......" said Rui Qing's name, "The old lady remembered that she was angry with Rui Qing before, "Let Lu'er come and serve." ”

The old lady and Yaohua entered the inner room, "The eldest lady let people support her and sit on her shoulders again."

The second old lady said: "You are not in good health" Don't be too open-minded, watching the play is small, let's just talk. ”

The third old lady also said: "Send a maid to take a look and leave." But there was nothing else.

The eldest lady said: "It's ready, I'll go and let people serve some fruit plates, so I'll invite the second and third aunts over." "As soon as I said that," Yaohua hurriedly came out of the inner room, "Grandmother is asleep. ”

I was talking to them a moment ago, and I fell asleep when I went back to change clothes. The third old lady frowned, "What's going on with my sister-in-law's illness?" How can it suddenly be so serious. ”

The eldest lady said: "Lang has also invited a lot, and the imperial doctor has also come to see it, but it doesn't work." I forgot a lot of things after I had done them, and a lot of things had already been sent out, but I was going to find them out in the blink of an eye. ”

The third old lady sighed and seemed to resonate with the old lady, "It's not like this when people are old, and I can't remember many things clearly" always said over and over again, the last time I held a church meeting at home, I also fell asleep on the soft couch. Otherwise, you are still young and don't understand. ”

The eldest lady's heart sank, and she said curtly: "What the third aunt said is true." As he spoke, he tightened his grip on the list in his hand.

The third old lady said: "Sister-in-law is also kind. What people can do when they are old is to think about their juniors. There are some things that you can just follow her aggrieved by, so that she is less angry, and the disease may be able to get better slowly. ”

The eldest lady nodded silently.

The eldest lady's housekeeper has let the old lady move out of the millennium house over the years, and she is arbitrary in the Tao family, and she has probably forgotten how to treat the elder, thinking that she can exonerate herself by using the old lady's serious illness and confusion as an excuse, but she doesn't know that the Tao family is a scholarly family after all, and teaches the clan with filial piety. Just because the old lady was seriously ill, her children and grandchildren should serve at the sickbed, and the eldest lady not only did not fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law, but also made the old lady angry, took out all the things in the house and put them on the ground, and personally picked a dowry for her granddaughter.

The Tao family knows how much dowry Mrs. Tao has, and now that the old lady has ended up like this, Tao Zhengan and the eldest lady are two wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones. Rong Hua sneered in his heart, Tao Zhengan and the eldest lady should have been exposed a long time ago.

As for Yaohua, "she has always shown weakness in front of people to win sympathy, and this time she should also taste failure."

The third old lady looked at Yaohua's eyes badly, and the unmarried girl disturbed the family, listening to the meaning of the old lady's words, Yaohua asked for things first, and the old lady took care of her last......

In short, the old lady is seriously ill, and everyone in this family is worried about the last ladder in the old lady's hands.

The second old lady stood up, "Since the troupe has been invited, we might as well go and watch the play first, and wait for the sister-in-law to wake up and come over to talk later." ”

Everyone got up and went to the uā hall to watch the play. With the words of the old lady just now, the eldest lady personally opened Luo, and Rong Hua and Liao accompanied the second old lady and the third old lady.

Yaohua also wanted to follow to the uā hall, but the third old lady said: "You are a girl who is going out of the pavilion, it is not good to show up in front of people." Yaohua went back to the room.

After the four plays, the old lady woke up and went to the uā hall to watch a play with everyone for a while, and when Tao Zhengan came back, Chunyao came in and said, "Master Hou is here." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Please come in." ”

There was no one else in the house, so Xue Mingrui went straight in and greeted the elders.

After the old lady woke up, she was very energetic, and said a few more words to Xue Mingrui, and talked about Brother Hong being accepted as an apprentice by General Shen.

The second old lady was very envious, "Old General Shen is very strict in choosing apprentices. ”

The third old lady also said: "Where can ordinary people have such a face, the old General Shen's mansion is not so easy to step on." ”

The old lady smiled with satisfaction.

Brother Hong came back from school" saluted to everyone, and then sat down on the rosewood footsteps at the old lady's feet.

The old lady then instructed Rong Hua, "Brother Hong is studying outside, you have to take care of it more, if there is anything wrong with him, you talk about him, and if he refuses to listen to you, he will come and tell me, see if I don't beat him."

Everyone laughed.

After talking for a while, Tao Zhengan and Xue Mingrui went to the front yard.

The old lady looked at Rong Hua and said, "Brother Hong is older, those pens, ink, paper, inkstones, calligraphy and paintings, and a few books in my house, all that can be used are simply sealed in boxes and given to Brother Hong in the future." You will follow Brother Hong to pick some for a while, especially the box of books, Hou Ye is from the army and knows a lot, you ask Hou Ye to help take a look, take out what you should read now, you can help him keep it, and give it to him directly when you use it. ”

That is to say, let her help Brother Hong collect things.

Rong Hua hurriedly said: "It's better to stay at home, my pen, ink, paper and inkstone can't be short of him." ”

The old lady smiled: "Then how can it be done, our family is not short of these, how can we use the Xue family." ”

The old lady looked at the eldest lady again, "The things on the list I gave you must be taken out for Yaohua." I'll use the rest when I'm old, and I won't drag you down. ”

The eldest lady was so frightened by this sentence that she knelt on the ground, and she couldn't care about the unbearable pain in her whole body, "Mother, don't say such things." ”

The old lady said: "I'm so old, it's not taboo to say this, I'm ready to wrap up the clothes and boards, and the rest of the money is enough for you to do well, and leave some for the maids in my house, Rui Qing and I have been the longest, although there are some mistakes, there are also merits, seeing that it is not easy to find a good family when you are old", he said and looked at Rong Hua, "Let her go with you, and even the dowry I prepared for her, you can simply take it together today, and it will also relieve my heart." ”

Originally, I was going to confess on my deathbed, but I said it in front of the second old lady and the third old lady, today's banquet is not to let the family get together, but I am afraid that there will be changes in the future, and everyone is a witness.

The big lady's arms trembled.

The old lady looked at the second old lady and the third old lady, "We have been concubines for so many years, and we have joked together before, I don't know if you still remember?" ”

The second old lady already had red eyes, "Which one is the sister-in-law referring to?" ”

The old lady smiled: "Whoever closes their eyes first, the rest will come to see each other." ”

The third old lady said: "Even if you are old and confused, and you can't remember the past, you have to be affectionate." ”

The old lady smiled, "That's what I said." ”

The eldest lady almost collapsed in front of her eyes
