Chapter 55 Fire and Water Are Incompatible
Along the way, the two sisters-in-law talked and laughed, like sisters, and even the maids and daughters-in-law who passed by couldn't help but look sideways. There has always been a lot of discord between sisters-in-law, and it is rare to see any sister-in-law who has such a good relationship, or a sister-in-law in the next room who has not met a few times. Shaohua didn't care about this, he came to beg Xin Zixuan to talk about Liang Ping every day when he was idle, listening and laughing, life was very easy. Although she was told by Wanhua a few times not to run too hard, she responded a few times and still came over.
Thinking that fortunately, she was born in the Li family, at least she could spend more time with Xin Zixuan, if she ran to the Zhang family's Wang family next to her, or the Li family's rival, she really didn't have time to cry.
Anyway, in her bones, she and Xin Zixuan are sisters, so she knows her preferences and habits well. Seeing Xin Zixuan smiling on her face, but her eyes were absent-minded, Shaohua couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Before he could ask, he heard the sound of a quarrel in Taihe Garden, and listened attentively, which was mixed with Ling's confident voice and Liu's soft and beautiful tone.
Could it be that the two concubines quarreled, Shaohua felt that his head was a little big. Recently, the Ling family was already dissatisfied with the Liu family's extravagant expenses, and if they quarreled in front of Li Ge Lao this time, it would be really embarrassing. Xin Zixuan seemed to have the same idea as her, and looked at her the same way, and the two of them invariably quickened their pace and rushed over.
As soon as I entered Taihe Garden, I saw the tense momentum of the Ling family and the Liu family. Liu also paid attention to the image, but he just had a stinky face, facing Ling sideways, on the contrary, Ling's anger rushed to the crown, and Liu looked much weaker.
Shaohua glanced left and right, and found that Li Ge Lao was not in the house, and the big stone in his heart was a little lowered.
But anyway, this is in the courtyard of the old man's house, and even if he is not there, when he comes back in a while, someone will naturally report to him. So, she hurriedly walked in and saluted the two elders, and when Wanhua saw Shaohua coming, she was still followed by Xin Zixuan, and immediately ran over and pulled her to her side.
Xin Zixuan didn't know why, so she had no choice but to salute and walk behind Liu.
Shaohua pulled Wanhua to the back, looked at the incompatible momentum of the two concubines, lowered his voice and asked, "Third sister, what the hell is going on?" β
How could he suddenly come to Taihe Garden, if Li Xunzhuo knew about it, he would have to scold the Ling family first. I have to say that Li Ge taught a group of filial sons, not to mention Li Zhuoyue, who died early, is the two brothers Li Liangxun and Li Xunzhuo, not only brothers, friends, brothers, brothers It is precisely because of this that the two brothers can still live together after they start their own families, and the Liu family and the Ling family are obviously not in harmony, but the two families can still get along in harmony, in the final analysis, this is the credit of the two brothers.
"You're not watching." Wanhua shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I'm asking what happened, if you want to quarrel, you can go back to our yard to quarrel, why did you run to my grandfather's yard." Shaohua turned around, just met Xin Zixuan's gaze, and shook his head helplessly at her puzzled gaze.
Wanhua saw everything in her eyes, and immediately pulled Shaohua's hand unhappily, "I can tell you, don't be with your sister-in-law anymore, otherwise A-Niang will have to scold you to death." β
"What does it matter to sister-in-law Guan?" Shaohua was not happy that Xin Zixuan was ripped into the water. "Auntie and Bohm's affairs, sister-in-law didn't interfere."
"It's really a little conscienceless, what kind of benefit did she give you, so quickly bent her arms outward." Wanhua glared at her angrily, covered her hand next to Shaohua's ear, and said softly.
"Ahh Shaohua exclaimed, so angry that Wanhua hurriedly covered her mouth, but fortunately, the Ling family didn't notice that the sisters were hiding in the corner and talking.
At this time, Ling Shi looked at Xin Zixuan sharply, and said angrily: "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, since you are also here, let's make it clear." You have to take care of this family, as long as your grandfather says a word, I will let it go and let your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take care of it themselves. But only if you settle all the accounts for me. Shiro Zhongju, Da Lang and Erlang's promotion, I don't care how much silver we lost in the second room, but further back, how much Shiro owed outside, and how many things he took in the shop under the name of the second room. Count all of this for me, make it all up, and I don't care about anything from then on. β
When Xin Zixuan heard Ling's fierce expression, her stiff tone left almost no room, she was confused, and wanted to say a few soft words to Ling. Liu immediately grabbed her hand, and Mai's mother, who was standing next to Liu, raised her voice: "Second lady, this is you!" Let the old man listen, and you are embarrassed by the daughter-in-law of the eldest man. Who doesn't know that she has just returned from Liangping, and she is not familiar with anything. Our lady has not seen the account book in your hands for so many years, and now you let her look at it, can she still see the silver? β
"Presumptuous!" Ling Shi slapped the table, and his face turned cold. The teacup on the table trembled a few times and almost fell, "Master speaks, when will it be your turn as a minion." β
Mama Mai is also a figure with a head and a face in Xuyuan, even when Li Sijin sees her, he has to politely call her "Mama Mai". On weekdays, when Liu doesn't speak much, almost all of them are spoken out by Mai's mother, and Li Liangxun is not loud to her. But now he was humiliated so harshly by the Ling family, and his face suddenly turned blue and white, and he was very embarrassed.
"Second brother and sister, the Mai family is not a minion!" Liu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he became angry when he listened to the soft and gentle voice on weekdays, and he also looked very majestic.
Mai's mother is the daughter of Liu's nurse, who grew up with Liu, and after Xu got married, she came to Liu's room again. Because of this, Mama Mai walked with her chin raised in Xuyuan, and she was confident in her speech. Calculated carefully, Mama Mai is not only not a minion, but her status is indeed not low, but all this makes no difference to the Ling family. The master of this family is surnamed Li, no matter how tall Mai's mother is, she is not high enough to be on an equal footing with the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
In fact, the contradiction between the Liu family and the Ling family can be regarded as a clichΓ©. It's nothing more than those few accounts, Liu's is used to being arrogant, and he has been a rich and idle wife for so many years, not to mention her husband's monthly salary, not to mention the monthly income from the account, and the monthly money from the account office every month. As soon as he has a lot of spare money, he will be generous to make a move, and he is even more pampered and conniving with Si Yan, and the debts owed by the mother and son outside every month add up to a lot. Every time the account was reconciled, Ling was so angry that he complained to Li Xunzhuo. But he always felt that his family was rich, and his brother was a member of the officialdom, so it was not a problem to spend more money on a big house, and sometimes he said that the Ling family was too cautious.
Now Si Yan is studying at home, but recently the Liu family has squandered several sums of money for the promotion of his eldest son. Now that Xin Zixuan was sent to Xiyuan to learn to settle accounts for a few days, he proposed to let her manage the family with the Ling family, because Xin Zixuan is the eldest granddaughter-in-law in the family, and this family will still be handed over to their husband and wife in the future.
If this is the case, the Ling family will endure it, and the Liu family has to say inch by inch that since Li Sijin is back, Si Yan is about to get married, and the share of this family should be divided according to the male. Because Si Mo is still too young, it doesn't count.
When the Ling family heard this, they immediately became angry: In this way, it is clear that the father and son of the big house will account for more than half of the Li family's family property!
The Ling family didn't say a word, patted the table and said that he would ask for justice from Li Ge Lao, but Li Ge Lao was not out and ran into the Liu family who came later, and the concubine and concubine were on the bar.
"You love to treat slaves as masters, I don't care, but this family is not a slave and can have the final say." Ling's temper exploded, and he was simply open-mouthed, ignoring Liu's Tie Qing's face, and the Wanhua sisters also felt that something had gone too far in the back.
"Second aunt, I think there must be some misunderstanding here, don't be angry, you have something to say." Xin Zixuan hurriedly came out to play a round.
"Misunderstanding? Hehe, what a joke, one of your mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law sings white face, the other sings black face, what else can I say! Let's go, Sanniang and Wuniang, let's not go with them, look at the bad luck! The Ling family couldn't wait for Li Ge Lao to come, so he simply got up and left.
Wanhua immediately caught up, for fear that Ling's anger would be too big and harm the innocent. Shaohua glanced back at Xin Zixuan, and saw that she was also standing in place awkwardly, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she was urged by Han Zhangyi, so she had to hurriedly catch up with the Ling family.
This way, the army slaughtered back to Xiyuan with great momentum, and when the Ling family returned to the house, they could no longer control it, so angry that they picked up things and threw them on the ground.
"Auntie, this cup costs ten taels, and it's all a loss if you smash that set, this is Daddy's favorite." Shaohua rushed up quickly and stopped Ling's hand in time, and Cui's mother and Wanhua on the side both covered their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Shi glared at her, picked up the jade-colored square-mouthed long-necked Ru kiln vase on the table, and just raised his head, Shaohua screamed again, "Auntie, you can see clearly, this vase was just sent by Daddy from the south, not to mention how much it is, it's just such a pair." If it is smashed, Daddy will be sad. β
Speaking of silver alone, the Ling family could still grit his teeth and lose his heart ruthlessly, when it came to Li Xunzhuo. Thinking that a few days ago, he took the initiative to send so many things, and he was so happy that the Ling family took them all out to show off. If this is smashed, not to mention the silver, the thing will not come back.
Wanhua was also eye-catching, and when she saw Ling walking in front of the Bogu shelf, a blue and white porcelain plate with fine lines and dark snow and green plums, she immediately said: "This plate was sent by my father the day before yesterday, and it was said that it was privately collected by a scholar of the previous dynasty, and this is the only one." β
"And the cup next to it is the crystal eight-fun long cup of the Western Regions, each piece is different, a set of eight pieces." Shaohua said slowly.
"This is a three-color treasure flower plate, and there is only one piece." Wanhua also breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the two daughters seemed to be together, Ling deliberately wanted to be angry with her, but a few days ago, she filled the house with her private treasures, and she had to die of distress after she was about to smash them. "I really raised two white-eyed wolves, and my arms were turned out!"
Shaohua saw that the Ling family was no longer as anxious and shouted as when he entered the house, so he rubbed it over and laughed softly: "How can there be, no matter how you turn it, you will be turned into A-Niang's arms." Seeing that Ling didn't appreciate it, she had to sigh, "A-Niang, it's not me who said you, just quarrel with Boehm." If you go to Taiheyuan to make such a fuss, what can the people next to you say, those who don't know will only say that you are shouting loudly, you can't learn from Bohm to let Cui's mother go into battle. β
"She? What can she compare with the Mai family! Ling exhaled.
Shaohua answered, "Then let's come, it's better than if you were angry with yourself and smashed your own things, do you still hang up in the account room?" β
Ling snorted coldly, and Wanhua rubbed her chest, agreeing, "Auntie, you fell out with Boehm, and Daddy will definitely be unhappy when you look back." "This kind of thing, it's better to let Li Xunzhuo and Li Liangxun brothers talk about it themselves, there is always friction between concubines.
As soon as Ling heard this, the anger that he had finally pressed down rose again. "Humph! If he speaks for that side again this time, I'll go back to my parents' house! β
