Chapter 384: The Source
"The second brother is right, although she is from a humble background, but our Zhao family is not that ungrateful, give a name, she will be relied on for life in the future, besides, the head of the family is afraid that he still loves her now, leaving her in the backyard, and the head of the family will save him from running around to Lingfeng City and working hard." The fifth old man thought that he was very thoughtful, and his face was not without pride.
Only the four old men shook their heads and sighed in their hearts, the brothers are really getting older and more stubborn, what kind of person is the head of the family, is he just listening to people's fiddling, they are respected on weekdays because of their age and seniority, but once they touch his bottom line, I am afraid that no one will buy it. It's a pity that he only thinks about this in his heart, even if he says it, they won't listen to it, but he will be angry, so it's better to wait and wait for the head of the family to come back, no matter how he acts, just stand behind him.
The wise fourth old man made up his mind, so he drank tea slowly, listened to the discussion of several brothers, and had the right to relieve his boredom and gossip.
Speaking of the family master's family affairs, the abacus in the heart of the fifth old man crackled, his little daughter-in-law is the concubine of the Sun family, if the head of the family marries the granddaughter of the Sun family, then after moving around more, there is a wind and grass in the old house, their family must be the first to know, and there are good things and they are definitely the first to grab, so they smiled and said, "Everyone in the city rumors that Miss Huiying of the Sun family has a good temperament and appearance, so it is better for me to let Hongsheng's daughter-in-law go back to explore the wind." ”
The second master remembered that his grandson was going to Sun's house for a banquet today, so he said, "The Sun family is afraid that they also have this thought, so they gave a post to the head of the family a few days ago, and the head of the family went out to find medicinal materials and asked Zhao Yang to go for him today." ”
The fifth old man immediately showed joy in his eyes, and both families were interested, wouldn't this family affair come naturally. It's a pity that the second master poured a scoop of cold water on his head in the next sentence, "Although the daughter of the Sun family is good, the eldest master of the Sun family is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites in the court, which does not help our family's business much." Speaking of which, I think the head of the family still wants to order the daughter of the Wu family. ”
"The daughter of the Wu family?" The fifth master didn't react for a while, and opened his mouth to ask, which Wu family? ”
The third master finally seized an opportunity to ridicule this philistine brother who had always been unpleasant, and immediately said, "Which Wu family can it be, naturally it is the Wu family in the east of the city, then Miss Xiangyun was originally set to be the wife of the head of the family, if it wasn't for the sudden accident of the head of the family, he would not have changed the marriage contract, and now the second nephew is not angry, and then change it back to the head of the family." ”
The fifth master shook his head violently, and objected one after another, "No, no, the young lady of the Wu family doesn't understand the rules of the women at all, and she came to the door several times to make trouble, causing the whole city to secretly scold her for being shameless and presumptuous." Besides, as soon as the head of the family had an accident, their Wu family didn't wait for a month to come to the door to change the marriage contract, who didn't know that they coveted our Zhao family's wealth, and really let her enter the door, maybe our Zhao family would be emptied within a few years. ”
"I don't agree with the words of the fifth brother, although Miss Wu is out of line, she is spicy and straightforward, which is much better than those ladies who are twisted and pinched, gentle on the surface, and vicious behind them. Besides, she loves to be with the head of the family, and if she really marries, she may still ask her mother's family to help us for the sake of our Zhao family. The third master also retorted loudly, his neck and face were red, and he had the posture of fighting against the fifth master to the end.
The second master slapped the table hard, glared at them fiercely, and then said, "Let's all sit down, let's just take advantage of the fact that we are all together, discuss it in advance, and really make up our minds, and the head of the family will come back." ”
The third master and the fifth master glanced at each other, snorted coldly at the same time, and both stopped.
The second master and the fourth master swept their eyes twice, lowered their eyebrows and served the wind and orchids on the side, as well as the silent Zhao master, they all felt a little fever on their faces, such a quarrel made the subordinates look lively, not to mention, but also a little noisy, it was really rude, so please cough twice, pulled an excuse to leave, and the third and fifth masters naturally followed.
Feng Tuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said a word to Master Zhao, and went to see him off, and when he returned, he went directly to Kuaiyi Garden, and found Amber who was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and reading, and told him what had just happened carefully.
Amber closed the medical book in his hand and sneered, "This person's heart is greedy, the Zhao family was half-dead before, they were helpless, and now that Zhao Xiaozi has straightened out his business, they have jumped out to point fingers again." ”
Feng Tiao remembered what Mu Gongzi said when he came to the door last night, and he was very worried, and asked anxiously, "Old man, the young master is out of the house, and I don't know that the young lady has come, if the young lady can listen to the plans of a few clan elders again, I am afraid that I really want to think that the young master has changed his mind, then... Is the young master finished? ”
Amber remembered how the little couple got along on weekdays, Zhao Xiaozi was afraid that he would really suffer some hardships this time, but unfortunately he didn't mean to help, but he was looking forward to it, smiling and persuading the style, "Don't worry, Xue Ya is a sensible person, and she won't blame Zhao Xiaozi for these things." Speaking of which, I haven't seen my two apprentices for a few days, and there is nothing to do, so I'll go and have a look, and dinner is also over there, you stay and help Zhao Xiaozi guard the yard well. ”
The old man said that he would go, stuffed the medical book into his arms, and soon went out of the hospital, threw the wind in the gazebo, looked around, and just wanted to sigh three times, this Zhao family compound didn't feel bad originally, why do you feel depressed when you look at it now, so that he misses the small courtyard of Yunjia Village more and more, even if he carries a few bags of cow beans, nibbles two mouthfuls of steamed buns, and drinks tofu soup, he feels more comfortable than here...
Don't mention the wind and the wind, just say that Amber swayed along the street, asked two passers-by all the way, found the Ping An Inn, as soon as he heard that it was a guest of his own lady, the shopkeeper Mo personally led the old man to the holly courtyard.
Niuniu is holding her baby stick, playing thirty-six sticks in the yard, sword dancing on the side, from time to time loudly pointing a few words, the little girl's face is red, the shadow of the stick under her hand is dancing, coming and going whining and hanging the wind, every time she smashes to the ground, it is like facing the enemy, that ruthless appearance, I saw the three little girls shrink their necks.
Ruixue and the old mother hugged the child and sat under the eaves of the porch to bask in the sun, the sun was about to set in the West Mountain, although it was not as warm as noon, but it was rare for the wind to return home early to rest, but I didn't feel how cold, the two children wore a red brocade padded jacket, with a tiger head hat, and scattered two small hands, waving twice from time to time, I don't know whether to cheer for the aunt, or to the birds and birds that occasionally fly in the sky.
The old lady looked at Niuniu worriedly, and whispered, "I didn't think it on weekdays, but today I saw that the second miss was really protecting the young lady, but I heard a few gossips from others, and I was annoyed like this." ”
Rui Xue stretched out her hand and brushed the scattered silk of her sideburns, and smiled slightly, "This girl grew up alone in the mountains since she was a child, and since she returned home with me, she has treated me as her only relative. ”
The old lady remembered the words that Niuniu had learned, and asked in a low voice, "Miss is really not angry with those people gossiping?" ”
"Annoyed?" Rui Xue picked up her daughter and kissed her lightly on her little face, looking at her daughter grinning and smiling happily, the smile between her eyebrows and eyes was even stronger, "Well, no one likes to be judged and belittled in words, but in the world, some things are inevitable." Let's not say that I'm not a maid, but a maid, what can I do? There is no shame in not stealing, not robbing, eating and dressing by labor. ”
A few little girls and Qin Xin who retreated to her side were stunned when they heard this, and then their eyes were full of gratitude, the master treated them well on weekdays, they all knew it, but since they were slaves, they always had some inferiority complex in their hearts, and they felt inferior as mud, and now they suddenly felt that their waists were much straighter, and it was a blessing in their lives to be able to follow them as masters who treated them as people.
The old lady looked at their looks in her eyes, and sighed in her heart that her young lady would really win people's hearts, in fact, how did she know that the world where Ruixue's soul came from, everyone is equal is a concept planted in her heart since childhood, and she didn't expect it to be so far away.
"Miss is right to think so, if Miss is angry, wouldn't it make those wicked people happy. Wait for my uncle to come back and let him vent his anger for the young lady. The Wu family's goddaughter has no way, and it is just shameless to come to the door to entangle men, and now she still uses such a means to smear Miss everywhere, which is really vicious. The old lady was so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't wait to rush to Wu's house immediately and scold her.
Got up early today, Jiu'er brothers and sisters went to visit distant relatives, leaving Niuniu yelling boring, Rui Xue called Desheng and Jian Wu to accompany her out for a walk, the original intention was to buy some gadgets, snacks and food to make her happy, who would have thought that the three of them were tired halfway, and went into the teahouse to rest, and heard people talking bad about her, Niuniu's fiery temper, how could she endure it, stepped forward and lifted the table of the person who spoke, raised his fist and hit him with blood from his mouth and nose.
The man didn't know if he was weak or what, he didn't fight back, he ran away, Niuniu had nowhere to be angry, and smashed someone's teahouse in anger, and in the end, it was the sword dance that lost the money.
The two went back to the inn, Niuniu was wronged for her sister, and she didn't have a good time, she cried in her sister's arms, choked up and didn't finish the matter, Desheng came back with a blue face.
It turned out that he followed the beaten man and wanted to pay for some injuries and medicine, but he didn't want the man to hide and take the path, so he kept following him with doubts in his heart, and he didn't want to, and finally watched him enter the back door of Wu's house in the east of the city.
Everyone heard that the Wu family in Chengdong was unfamiliar, and Desheng couldn't, so he had to say, "I went out to inquire, and the woman who was noisy in front of the Zhao family that day was the young lady of the Wu family in Chengdong." ”
Everyone finally understood the twists and turns, and suddenly their lungs exploded, Rui Xue, the party who was actually the calmest one, stopped them from making noise, and lived quietly as usual.
Everyone can't figure it out, only the old lady has a lot of experience, guess some clues, she is waiting for the source of all these things, waiting for the man to come back, if he still cares about her, then all this is not a problem, if he has changed his mind, then she will kill the Wu family, and there will still be Miss Liu, Miss Chen, etc., countless young ladies will appear...
