Chapter 287: Confrontation (I)
Listen to the drumming that fades away. Master Xiang sighed: "I have promised Yizhen about this matter. His eyebrows showed a little tiredness, "After the removal of the first lady of Yongping Hou over there, our two families will exchange Geng stickers......"
Mrs. Xiang was so angry that her face was flushed, and her chest was rising and falling.
She looked at her resolute husband, rushed to the door, and called out to her personal mother: "...... Let the little maid prepare the car, you let the three young ladies prepare their luggage, and we will go to my uncle's house. ”
Master Xiang rushed over and grabbed his wife's arm: "Rong Niang, don't be like this!" Speaking of which, Brother Yu's kid is not bad......"
"It's a shame for what you said!" Mrs. Xiang's eyes turned red when she heard this, "A maid is born, also called not bad?" ”
"Rong Niang," Master Xiang's face sank when he listened, "Heroes don't ask about their origins. Choose a son-in-law first, you don't stare at your toes to live! ”
"Yes, the first son-in-law was elected." Mrs. Xiang sneered, "I don't know if the second young master of the Marquis of Yongping won the champion or the Tanhua?" I can't see what I have to learn. ”
The mother over there glanced at the little maid who was serving in the hall, and the people in the room quietly retreated, and the close mother also took the door of the hall intimately.
"He grew up beside Yi Zhen since he was a child, what kind of person he is, doesn't Yi Zhen know it?" Lord Xiang persuaded Mrs. Xiang, "What's more, Yizhen is alone now." Rou Ne has passed, and you can also be a companion with your aunt......"
"Yizhen, Yizhen, you just think about Yizhen!" Mrs. Xiang was furious, "Have you ever thought about Roune?" She's our daughter. is well-behaved and sensible......" said, tears streaming down her eyes, "You can't bear to let her go and kneel down to bring tea to that maid-born Aunt Qin." What's more, Yongping Hou's stepfamily is only two years older than her. That's her serious mother-in-law. Maybe we can't walk anymore, and Mrs. Yongping Hou is still full of energy. There will always be a day when people will be daughters-in-law, if our family is really married, when will it be a head! Does she want to make rules in front of her mother-in-law for the rest of her life? She pulled Lord Xiang's sleeve and looked at Lord Xiang with a face full of tears, "Master, it's not that I ignore my aunt and grandmother. I also know that the uncle wanted to send the fifth brother over, but it was your father-in-law who saw that you were in a difficult situation at home, and asked you to come over regardless of your age. Don't say it's a master, even I, who is a daughter-in-law, and I am grateful to my father-in-law all my life. When Yi Zhen got married, he said that there were only 36 dowries, but the 6,000 acres of fertile land, an oil mill, and the family's collection of books that her mother married were all given to her, don't think I don't know. I read that she was my father-in-law's own flesh and blood, and I didn't say a word. But today, not only does she not have a trace of gratitude, but she also treats my daughter as a favor. Master. You might as well give me three feet of white silk. If you want me to agree to this family business, you can't do it! After saying that, he burst into tears.
"Rong Niang, Rong Niang......" His wife's words made the corners of Xiang's eyes slightly wet.
His biological mother died young, and his biological father married again. When the stepmother gave birth to a son, she saw that the first child was not pleasing to the eye. Not to mention that he can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, he can't find a good gentleman under the pretext, and he hasn't been enlightened by the age of ten. The uncle was empty on his knees to have a step-son, and he originally took a fancy to the fifth brother who had just turned one year old, but later saw that he was having a hard time, and despite his aunt's opposition, he took him back at the age of twelve. I was afraid that he would not be able to get over his face, so I enlightened him at home and taught him to write hand in hand...... After two years, I saw that he had some foundation, so I invited my husband to sit at home. Because of this incident, it later became a piece of my mother's heart, and I was haunted by it until I died. So when his father died, he swore in front of his father that as long as he had a bite to eat, he would let his sister first.
Today. He not only became a four-grade official, but also inherited the ancestral property that his father got from his ancestors. And those brothers of the family, fighting openly and secretly, you live and die, and in the end only one younger brother survived, not to mention the defeat of the family property, and now they have to rely on him to live.
Thinking of this, his heart to marry his second daughter was firm.
"Rong Niang." Lord Xiang helped his wife to sit on the big kang near the window in the inner room, "The reason why this dowry was not written on the gift list at that time was because the third and fourth masters of the Xu family were discussing marriage. Yi Zhen is afraid that she will embarrass other families when the time comes, and she is also afraid that there will be a gap between the concubines because of this. Second, this is what her mother meant, she wants to leave her dowry to Yizhen. It's understandable that men have to be homemakers and women have to be fed and clothed......"
Mrs. Xiang listened to her husband's tone, as if she was persuading herself not to compete with Xiang Yizhen for the industry, and she couldn't help but be angry.
"Master, I have been married to you for twenty years, am I such a person?" She interrupted her husband in a stiff tone, "If I want to deal with her, why wait until today. As she spoke, she stared at Master Xiang, "After so many years, does the master still take little care of her?" Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, New Year's Eve Ceremony, hot and cold clothes all year round...... I've had half a complaint. But as for her, she asked me to marry my daughter, but it was her brother who was negotiating. Why don't you take me seriously......"
After knowing Yizhen's intention at noon, the couple has quarreled about it until now. Mrs. Xiang said that there are only two meanings - why didn't the aunt and grandmother discuss with her sister-in-law instead of her brother when she was a matchmaker for her niece; What am I sorry for her, she wants to spoil my daughter like this.
Master Xiang knew that if he continued to talk about it, what his wife expressed was only these two meanings.
He didn't want to go around the bush with Mrs. Xiang anymore. He simply asked his wife, "Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?" Still not satisfied that Yizhen didn't discuss with you? ”
Mrs. Xiang was stunned when she heard this. "I'm not satisfied with either!" ”
"Alright, let's talk about this family business first." Master Xiang showed his calmness and rationality when dealing with official affairs: "Speaking of which, you just think that Brother Yu's biological mother is a maid with a low status. But no matter how humble he is, he is also the eldest son of Xu Lingyi, the Marquis of Yongping, on the ancestral spectrum. Otherwise, how could he marry our Xiang family. And the Marquis of Yongping can take care of his own brothers like that, let alone the eldest son's elder brother. ”
"I'm ......" Mrs. Xiang had just opened her mouth to say something, but Master Xiang had already waved her hand, "You listen to me first." Then he said, "The Marquis of Yongping is only twenty-eight years old this year, and he has at least thirty years to live." What kind of title or something, you have to wait until his son dies to have a play! As he spoke, he glanced at his wife coldly, "Instead of dreaming of those unrealistic things, it is better to divide the house while he is in the prime of life." Isn't it a hundred times stronger than marrying the children of ordinary eunuchs? Could it be that aunt who doesn't serve in front of his wife and lives with his brother? Besides, Yi Zhen didn't discuss with you. Speaking of this, a trace of annoyance flashed in Master Xiang's eyes, "How do you let Yizhen discuss with you?" When she was worshipping the pox lady, she asked for a medicine of reconciliation from the palace with great effort, what did you say? How can this medicine be taken indiscriminately. Then let the maid put it away in the cabinet in front of Yi Zhen. Later, Yijia wanted to be enlightened, and it happened that the gentleman who had taught Yizhen Jing Shi before was at home, and she recommended people to you. What do you say? The child is too young, so it is better to read the Bible and history first......"
The more Mr. Xiang spoke, the louder he became, and the more Mrs. Xiang listened, the worse her face became. I couldn't help jumping anymore: "You will only blame me, why don't you talk about my aunt and grandmother." What did she say then? She asked me for the medicine of reconciliation from the palace, but what did she say when she saw the medicine of reconciliation sent by my sister-in-law, do you know? Mrs. Xiang smiled coldly, "I don't know the bottom line, it's better to be careful." Is it only she who gives medicine, and my sister-in-law who gives poison? When Yijia was enlightened, she recommended her husband to come. But what did she say? What poems and songs are crooked, only the sons and hundreds of schools are serious...... It's just that everyone is illiterate, only she is familiar with the scriptures and history, and she is a reasonable person. ”
"When did Yi Zhen say that poetry and songs are all evil and crooked?" Master Xiang couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "She just said that the gentleman your brother introduced to Yijia paid too much attention to poetry and songs. Yijia will participate in the imperial examination in the future. Instead of spending energy on learning these, it is better to focus on the "Commentary on the Four Books". Moreover, this is also the words of my father when he is alive. You're making this out of nowhere! ”
"I made something out of nothing!" Mrs. Xiang glared angrily, "When did I make something out of nothing?" It is a fact that she sold my daughter to the Yongping Marquis Mansion as a favor......"
"Forget it, forget it," Master Xiang shook his head slightly, deciding to stop in moderation. Lest Mrs. Huixiang become angry and entangled in trivial matters, "These are all old things, and we don't want to mention them anymore." Now we are talking about the marriage of children. You can't delay it just because Heyi is really angry......"
Mrs. Xiang smiled angrily: "How could I be angry with my aunt and grandmother." Why should I be angry with my aunt and grandmother? The old man is right. This is the marriage of children, and it can't be delayed because of those messy things. Roune is my heart's meat, I can't bear her to marry and endure hardship, I won't agree. And for the sake of the eldest aunt and grandmother, the lord must agree. Even so, I don't have to listen to me, nor do I have to listen to the master. Let's go to my father to reason - my father and father-in-law are old friends, and he used to be the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and he is familiar with the criminal laws of the Great Zhou, I don't know how many cases have been broken, so I won't talk to you! As he spoke, he shouted at his mother.
If you encounter something that doesn't go your way, you have to go back to your parents' house to find your father-in-law and uncle to reason!
Master Xiang was furious: "It's okay." I've always wanted to talk to my father-in-law. I think that back then, when the eldest aunt was gone, the Xu family was in an eventful time, and whoever was the sister-in-law had to comfort and comfort him. If you're good, you have to go with me. Not only that, but only a few old people were left to take care of the house, and the housekeepers and maids in the family were either dispersed or brought to office. Yi Zhen didn't entertain her when she went back to her parents' house. Just take this opportunity to talk to my father-in-law. Look at how the Great Zhou Criminal Law is judged when such a thing happens! After speaking, he didn't look at Mrs. Xiang, and went straight out to call the steward, "Arrange the carriage and horses, and my wife and I are going to my uncle's place!" "To put Mrs. Xiang there.
