Chapter 549: Harmony (Part II)

The wheels are on the bluestone road, making a monotonous and regular sound of "bones", and the carriage is even quieter.

Eleven Niang leaned obliquely on the red multicolored moire pillow, and Mother Song sat next to the couch and talked to her.

The voice was neither high nor low, just overpowering the sound of the wheels, and not even letting the mother-in-law with the car hear: "...... I was in the side room with a few little maids. Listening to those little maids, as soon as the third lady came back, she pointed at the nose of the young grandmother and scolded her, and then she was so angry that she fell ill. The eldest young master was also pale. The eldest young grandmother was sick in front of the bed, and was kicked out by the third lady, and said that she was angry when she saw the eldest young grandmother. If the eldest young master doesn't want her to be angry with the eldest young grandmother, don't let the eldest young grandmother enter her door. The eldest young master asked the eldest young grandmother to avoid it for the time being, and he and the third young master waited by the third lady's side.

"The young grandmother is serving outside the house. Every day, I personally lit a fire to decoction the medicine, brought it to the door, and then sent it to the house by Xingjiao. The third lady persuaded the eldest young master to divorce his wife, and the eldest young grandmother heard it clearly outside the house, and she didn't argue, nor did she get angry with the eldest young master, and she still served with soup and water every day. The eldest young master's face gradually softened. Later, the third lady knew that the medicine was fried by the grandmother, so she threw out all the bowls with the medicine. The eldest young master panicked, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, and then went to the kitchen to fry the medicine, and the third lady was angry. Every day, next to the ear of the eldest young master, he muttered about the divorce of his wife. ”

In other words, Xu Siqin was very angry at first.

Eleven Niang pulled out the beads carved by agarwood on the bowl, and said in a deep voice: "What did the eldest young master say?" ”

"At the beginning, the eldest young master also advised the third lady not to be angry, and to recover from her illness first, and these things will be talked about after the third lady is well. Later, I only listened respectfully from the sidelines, and there was not a word from the side. The third lady was so angry that she choked," Speaking of this, Mother Song leaned over and whispered in Eleven Niang's ear, "On the pretext that she can't sleep well at night, she always dreams of something bad, she is afraid in her heart, and asks the eldest young master to be her companion." The eldest young master set up a beauty couch in front of the couch and served the tea of the third lady every night. ”

Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows: "So, the eldest young master has been resting in the third lady's house these days?" ”

Mother Song nodded lightly, straightened up, and resumed her voice just now: "The third lady is either supporting the eldest young master to do this, or supporting the eldest young master to do that." The eldest young master will go to the third lady to ask for a doctor for a while, he will go to grab medicine for a while, and he will go to the silver building to redeem the silver ticket when the money at home is not enough, and he is so busy every day. Sometimes when I meet my grandmother, I just nod.

Not only that, but the third lady often took advantage of the eldest young master's absence to sneer at the eldest young grandmother or scold the locust tree, so that the eldest young grandmother could not sit or stand, and there was no time to live in peace. If the eldest young master is at home, the third lady will cry from time to time, not that her life is hard, and she will be angry with her son and daughter-in-law when she is old, or that the poor thrifty brother has been affected by the eldest and young grandmother, and she can't even say that she has a daughter-in-law. When she died, how could she have the face to meet the ancestors of the Xu family.

"After a few days of trouble like this, the eldest young grandmother counted the days of the palace test, so she sent someone to invite the uncle of the Fang family. The two of them talked in the house for most of the day, and the uncle of the Fang family left without even saying hello. ”

Eleven Niang thought that the little maid took Fang's pair of cards before she dared to act, and thought that Xingjiao dared to pour tea when she saw Fang's face...... He pondered: "After the third lady came back, she made a fuss every day like this, and didn't do anything else?" ”

Mother Song was a little puzzled, speculating on Eleven Niang's thoughts and said: "After the third lady came back, she didn't go anywhere, she was at home every day, forcing the eldest young master to divorce his wife." ”

Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Eleven Niang muttered: "If I'm not mistaken, these women and servants in Mitsui Hutong seem to be the companions of the young grandmother, right?" Since it is the dowry of the eldest and youngest grandmothers, the Xu family does not give monthly examples, and the second does not bear the burden of chewing. What's the matter with the third lady, just instructing not to move, right? Who are these little maids talking to you, can you inquire clearly? ”

Mother Song understood, and hurriedly said: "I was also afraid that the Fang family's accompaniment would talk to the eldest and young grandmother, so I deliberately chose to talk to the little maid who came back from Shanyang with the third lady." It is said that although most of the people who serve in Mitsui Hutong are the companions of the eldest and younger grandmothers, the eldest and youngest grandmothers are very respectful to those who serve in front of the third lady, and they have never neglected the words that come out of the main house. In the language, the grandmothers are very respectful. said that the young grandmother deserved to be from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her manners and manners were full of the gentleness and elegance of a scholar, and she was generous and calm. ”

When Eleven Niang heard this, she sighed softly.

Mother Song smiled bitterly.

Since the third lady wants to divorce the daughter-in-law who presides over the feed, the first thing is to take back the rights in the hands of the daughter-in-law, and then detain the daughter-in-law at home. What's the use of just verbally being ruthless like this?

Now that the eldest and youngest grandmothers have moved in to rescue the soldiers, I'm afraid that this matter will not be so simple and can be settled?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Madam, what should you do about this?" ”

In Mother Song's heart, it is not right for the third lady to toss Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang behind her back like this, but Fang Ji came to the door to shout for reconciliation and leave, which is a great disrespect to the Xu family. Why can't the Xu family show their momentum, otherwise, wouldn't anyone be able to run to Xu Lingyi and shout?

"Master Hou is discussing this matter with Mrs. Tai." Eleven Niang sorted out her thoughts, lest she couldn't answer when Mrs. Tai asked, or if she didn't want to be satisfied with Mrs. Tai's answer, "Let's go back and listen to what Master Hou and Mrs. Tai have to say before making plans!" ”

Also, the sky has fallen, and there are Hou Ye and Mrs. Tai.

"It's *** blind." Mother Song smiled and brought a blue and white porcelain beam pot insulated with cotton wool in a wooden barrel to Eleven Niang's tea.

"No need." Eleven Niang shook her hand, "It's almost in the lotus, I'll go and talk back to Mrs. Tai later." And he said, "I have some more things to ask you." ”

Mother Song put down the handle pot and respectfully responded "yes".

* * * * * *

When the carriage arrived at the lotus, Yuban took seven or eight little maids and waited for her at the door of the hanging flower with a big red melon-shaped palace lamp.

As soon as the mother-in-law in the car put the footstool, the jade version greeted her, personally helped Eleven Niang out of the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou and Mrs. Tai are waiting for Mrs." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, changed into a small oil cart with green drapery, and went to the husband.

Only Du's mother served alone in the house.

Mrs. Tai motioned for Eleven Niang to sit down beside her, and Mother Du poured tea, covered the door and retreated. Mrs. Tai immediately said, "Is the third daughter-in-law at home?" ”

"At home." Eleven Niang conveyed the third lady's prevarication, "It may be that the road is too far, and when you come back from Shanyang, you ......"

Before she finished her words, Mrs. Tai had already waved her hand at her: "There are no outsiders here, don't say these high-sounding words." ”

Eleven Niang responded "yes" in a low voice, tried her best to answer Mrs. Tai's question concisely without a position, and finally, she conveyed Xu Siqin's meaning to Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingyi in a timely manner: "...... Brother Qin said that rumors stop at the wise. He didn't want to divorce his wife. ”

Xu Lingyi frowned as she listened.

Mrs. Tai couldn't help but show a smile: "This kid is too honest." In the future, I am afraid that I will be eaten to death by the Fang family. After speaking, his eyes fell on Shi Niang's body and asked her, "Then tell me, what is the idea of the Fang family?" ”

Eleven Niang herself is thinking about this question repeatedly.

She said cautiously: "I'd rather demolish a temple than a marriage." Whose parents don't want their children to be good. In my opinion, when the Fang family said that they wanted to reconcile, they also wanted to preemptively come to a strategy of putting them to death and then being born. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly, and there was a sense of relief in Shi Niang's eyes.

"Not bad. That's what I thought, too. Madam Tai said slowly, "If the Fang clan is suspended, it will be tantamount to acquiescing in her Kefu matter. This is something that the Fang family never wants to see. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put so much effort into marrying the Fang family to the north. But whoever encounters such a thing is afraid that they will find an excuse to divorce their wives. Rather than let our family find an excuse to abandon it, it is better for them to ask themselves to leave first. If we insist on disagreeing in the way of Qingyu, Fang's Kefu matter will no longer be an obstacle. If we would rather not have a clear reputation and let the Fang family go out, the Fang family can also bring the Fang family to her dowry home, after a hundred years of her parents, she has a dowry body, at least she can have no food and clothing, and she can't be left alone. Saying that, Mrs. Tai's tone paused, "No wonder Fang Ji dares to shout in front of the fourth child." I don't know if this is the idea he discussed with the Fang Clan? Or is it a coping strategy that has been discussed early in the morning? If it was discussed by two people, these two children would be considered brave and resourceful. If it was the Fang family, it had been discussed a long time ago...... Even if Fang Ji is a new branch of Tanhua, he is also a junior. For such a big matter, how can there be a reason for a junior to discuss? Is it clearly tempting us? Mrs. Tai laughed coldly, "No matter how much the third daughter-in-law messes around, it won't be their turn to teach the Fang family a lesson?" Mrs. Tai's eyes fell on Shi Niang's body, "You are a sect woman, if the Fang family is prepared." Tell me, what should I do about this? ”

The Fang family is still not pregnant, and the third lady is bent on isolating her son and daughter-in-law, leaving her son in her house...... As long as the Xu family grasps the point of "childless" to make a fuss, the Fang family can only bow their heads in the end.

But there's no way around it.

It is not easy for a woman to be divorced, and it is also difficult to live when she is separated. Compared with the latter, the former is just one on the ground and the other on a bamboo mat. She didn't believe in rumors such as Kefu, Xu Siqin wanted to live with the Fang clan again, and the Fang family just wanted to use "Heli" to bargain for the Fang clan to gain a foothold...... And for the sake of the Xu family's face, no matter whether the third lady is right or wrong, no matter what, she can't let the people of the Fang family do whatever they want in this matter.

"Mother," Eleven Niang looked at Mrs. Tai seriously, "I look at this matter, it's better to ask clearly." Let's see if it's the meaning of the two children, or the meaning of the Fang family. If it's really two children messing around, wouldn't we be beating the mandarin ducks like this? ”

It's a little late to add more, so let's watch it tomorrow morning!
