Chapter 382: Opinions Differ
After Sister-in-law Wu's words were finished, the room was quiet for a long time, and Wu Xiangyun was the first to murmur, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, he really got married and married a vicious woman?" ”
Mrs. Wu hurriedly reached out and patted her daughter's back and asked, "Then where is Mrs. Zhao from and where is she from?" ”
Sister-in-law Wu thought about the rumors in the village that day, and said, "Mrs. Zhao didn't say where her hometown was, everyone only heard that she was exiled from the south, and she was originally the personal maid of a large lady, but later the young lady died of illness, and the lord of the family wanted to forcibly occupy her, and she would rather die than obey, so she was beaten half dead and thrown out." ”
As soon as Mrs. Wu heard this, a look of disdain appeared between her eyebrows, and she said, "It turned out to be a slave..."
Master Wu is a man in the end, so he should be more thoughtful, frowned and asked where Sister-in-law Wu's hometown is, and said, "Some time ago, there were indeed rumors that Zhao Fengnian was returning from Lingfeng City, presumably Sister-in-law Wu did not admit his mistake, he was afraid that he was really hiding there this year, and he also married a wife and started a family." ”
Wu Xiangyun's mood was up and down this day, he was happy that Zhao Fengnian did not marry a wife, it was like floating in the sky, and suddenly heard that he was really marrying a wife, so he fell down with a click, and he was angry to death, at this time he learned that the wife was just a maid, and his heart was immediately full of hope, and said, "Even if the Zhao family is a businessman's family, they will never accept a maid as the wife of the eldest son and grandson, and be the head of the house." Otherwise, if this matter spreads, the Zhao family is afraid that they will have no face to be. ”
Mrs. Wu nodded, "Yun'er is right, even if she is a peasant girl, she is better than being born as a slave." This woman is also a smart person, and she gave birth to a child outside with Zhao Dagongzi first, otherwise the Zhao family would not have a place for her. ”
"What about having a baby? At most, give a concubine the title of a concubine..."Wu Xiangyun wanted to say more, but Master Wu opened his mouth to scold her, "Shut up, no matter what happens to the Zhao family, no matter how this matter is dealt with in the end, you have no room to speak, from now on, you will embroider in the room, and you are not allowed to come out for half a step, if you cause any more trouble, I will write to Mama Lian to teach you the rules." Your uncle's family Xiangyue was taught by her, and no one in the Wudu praises her, where is it as rude as you. ”
Wu Xiangyun just wanted to refute again, and when he heard Mama Lian's name, he was so frightened that he shut up honestly, that was the strictest old lady in the family, it is said that she was with the queen mother in the palace back then, and when she taught the rules, she never showed mercy because she was the master, and the second cousin had to cry and wet two handkerchiefs every day, and it took three years to get out, she didn't want to be restrained like that.
Master Wu saw that his daughter's face was very afraid, so he relieved himself a little, called in a few mothers-in-law who were serving him closely, and gave them a few very stern instructions, and then drove them back to the yard to help their daughter.
Sister-in-law Wu cautiously looked at the faces of the masters, and wanted to retreat but didn't dare, Mrs. Wu was anxious to ask the master for advice, so she said, "Although Sister-in-law Wu made a big mistake today, but she made a clear internal situation, and she also had merit, and if she made a mistake in the future, she would not be punished, and if she made a mistake again in the future, she would be severely punished." ”
Sister-in-law Wu had originally received a reward of two hundred taels from Wu Xiangyun, and when she heard it, she was even more overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed, and hurried down.
Wu Xiangyun was half-supported and half-held hostage by the two mothers-in-law into his yard, although he was annoyed, he couldn't, and finally turned his head to see Sister-in-law Wu limping up, and immediately said, "You go and get some medicine for the injury, Sister-in-law Wu is because of my injury, I want to apply medicine to her with my own hands." ”
Everyone is puzzled, when did their young lady become so sympathetic to her subordinates? But the old man ordered that she was not allowed to go out of the house, but did not say that the house could not be entered, so Lily nodded and agreed, and sent the little maids to get medicine and prepare tea and snacks.
directly pulled Sister-in-law Wu to sit on the side of the bed, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Wu, you will be by my side these days in the future, about the Zhao family, but anything that can be thought of, you have to talk to me carefully." ”
Sister-in-law Wu lowered her head, stroked her knees that had been infiltrated by blood, and whispered, "Yes, miss, the slave must try her best to think about it." ”
How could Wu Xiangyun not know her careful thoughts, sneered, stuffed the small white porcelain bottle with medicinal powder in her hand, and said, "It's not about trying, it's about remembering everything, don't worry, I won't treat you badly, if you dare to play tricks, hum!" ”
Sister-in-law Wu waited for her words, and hurriedly got up and promised, "Miss, don't worry, the slave can be saved." ”
Without mentioning the small plans of their master and servant, let's just say that in the front yard, Master Wu and Mrs. Wu were served by the maids, and after washing, they finally lay on the bed, Mrs. Wu couldn't hold it back, so she quickly asked, "What are the plans, is Yun'er's marriage contract changed or not?" Do you really want Yun'er to marry that Zhao De? ”
Master Wu's face, which was hidden in the shadow of the bed tent, slowly floated a sneer, "Our two families have made trouble to this point, that is, the eldest brother doesn't need the help of the Zhao family, and Yun'er must marry the Zhao family as the housewife, otherwise our Wu family's face will be lost, and we haven't got the benefits, wouldn't it be too much of a loss." It's just that if the marriage contract is changed this time, the Zhao family must beg our Wu family first? ”
Mrs. Wu was a little worried, "What are the plans, master?" What if the eldest son of the Zhao family refuses to live or die, but he is married and even has two children? ”
"Don't worry, those old guys in the Zhao family are all smart people, the concubine of a scholarly family and a mean-spirited maid, which one is suitable to be the housewife, it couldn't be better. As for Zhao Fengnian, he really seems to like that maid very much, but no matter how much he loves it, he will not give up his position as the head of the family and the family business he has built for many years for a woman. Besides, in order to get married that day, they didn't have three media and six hires, and strictly speaking, they couldn't do it. ”
Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "What the master said is that the maid also sounds scheming, I'm afraid that her appetite can't be small, and when the time comes, I can't say it, I want to give her a place in the second room." ”
"That's all for later, I'll find someone to release the news tomorrow and see how the Zhao family reacts. You remember to take a good look at Yun'er, this girl who has more than enough success and more than failure, if she really annoys Zhao Fengnian, even if she marries, she will not have a good life. ”
"Yes, sir, I wrote it down."
The couple discussed properly, slept peacefully all night, and got up the next day, Master Wu picked a few flexible long-term and small servants, and after explaining, they took off the clothes of the slaves, wore a robe sewn with cheap satin, put on a blanket, dressed up as a steward who went out to buy, and went into various large teahouses separately, asked for a pot of good tea, two plates of snacks, and sat down and waited for the opportunity.
When the sun was up, the idlers in the city gathered over, and sure enough, they quickly talked about yesterday's events, and those who were older and paid attention to etiquette said in a low voice, "The tutor of the Wu family is really lacking, a lady who is beautiful, should not go out of the door, waiting for the elders in the family to arrange family affairs, obedient to get married, and actually blatantly ran to the man's door to make trouble, it is really... Offense against decency! ”
When the young people heard this, they smiled and replied, "Brother, you are conservative, the family affairs of the Wu and Zhao families have been set for a few years, Miss Wu was the wife of Zhao Dagongzi before, and then Zhao Dagongzi disappeared, so he was reassigned to the second son, and now Zhao Dagongzi is back safely, Miss Wu wants to change it back, it is understandable, after all, the eldest son and the second son, although there is only one word difference in the title, but there is a world of difference between the two, it doesn't matter what else, Zhao Dagongzi is now the head of the Zhao family, It's in power. If I were Miss Wu, I would also want to change the marriage contract back. ”
"That's it, that's it." A fat man next to the person who spoke, obviously seeing that he was a friend from the same place, opened his mouth and echoed, "The left and right Miss Wu are all going to marry into the Zhao family, what is the difference between the two brothers to marry?" Let the two of them make trouble, let's all watch the excitement, otherwise just drink tea, but it's boring. ”
Everyone laughed, and the old man who spoke before blew his beard angrily and glared at him, slapped the table and retorted, "Fallacy, fallacy, even brothers must be clearly distinguished, and if the ethics are broken, even the face of the ancestors will be disgraced." ”
There is a harmony in that place, for fear that they will quarrel, so he hurriedly laughed and played a round, "This old brother is not angry, after all, it is someone else's business, let's just watch the excitement, besides, what's the use of us arguing fiercely, maybe there will be an unexpected follow-up to this matter." ”
"That's it," the young man in the teahouse, carrying a big teapot and shuttling among the people, adding water to the teapot one by one, also said with a smile, "Didn't Miss Wu still shout that the eldest son of the Zhao family got married yesterday?" Maybe there is a real turnaround. ”
The two young men sneered and said, "You little second son, you are holding back in this teahouse every day, it's just hearsay, our brother happened to pass by the door of Zhao's house yesterday, but I heard it clearly, Zhao Dagongzi didn't admit it at all, it was Miss Wu who misunderstood." ”
Before the young man could answer, he heard that in the corner of the room, someone spoke first, "The eldest son of the Zhao family you are talking about, but his name is Zhao Fengnian?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked back, and when they saw that he was dressed as a passerby, someone replied, "This brother is a foreigner, no wonder he doesn't know the name of the eldest prince of Zhao?" ”
The man arched his hand and smiled, "I came from Lingfeng City, and when I heard what everyone was talking about, I suddenly remembered a friend who came to Tongcheng that day, and his family seemed to be very large. In the next moment, I took the liberty of inquiring, and I forgive me for the offense. ”
There was a flexible mind among the tea guests, and when he remembered the previous rumors, he said aloud, "I seem to have heard that Grand Prince Zhao came back from Spirit Wind City, could it be that the guest was a friend he made when he disappeared?" ”
Everyone made a teahouse every day, and they all got the essence of gossip, and immediately realized that they were going to dig out the old things about the disappearance of Zhao Dagongzi today, so everyone came to the momentum, this one shouted, "Little Er'er, serve this brother a good pot of tea, settle my account!" ”
The one said, "Add two more plates of dim sum and count it in." ”
Soon the passer-by's table was full of food and drink, and he was so flattered that he hastened to bow and thank him.
