Chapter 20: Empty Right and Wrong
Jinghua Xie discussed the matter of Huiyuan.
Beifu is also talking about Huiyuan at this moment.
Because the Cao family did not go to the banquet, he was afraid of criticism, and when he saw Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying coming back, he questioned these two daughters.
Zhuang Xiu was already in a bad mood today, and was asked again by Cao's family, like sprinkling salt on a wound, how could she have the heart to take care of her? Snorted and turned to leave.
Cao is also stubborn, and he can't ask where he is, how can he let her go, so he twisted Wanjin and Ziyuan and asked again.
Wan Jin is Zhuang Xuan's girl, her temperament follows the master, she is very stiff, and she replied: "The eldest girl is not here, our girl is the leader of all the girls. spread out, and people thought that our girl was so inappropriate as a sister. The girl was unhappy in her heart, it was all Miss Qi today, and she advocated playing some tunes without authorization, and the old lady left angrily without listening to it. ”
Cao Shi smiled, nodded to Zhuang Qi and said, "For this?" Then you are 800 miles stingier than your mother. Miss Qi is from outside, what does it have to do with you? ”
Zhuang Xuan was silent.
Cao Shi sat on the chair, his legs were cocked, he swallowed the melon seeds, and said, "Speaking of which, you are the favorite Bei Ziye." I can tell you, don't think about it, the title of Grandma Tong Mansion is waiting for you! Then he asked the girl, "Didn't the wives talk about me?" ”
Zhuang Qi sneered and said angrily: "How else to discuss?" Serve you a few plates of crabs and still can't stop your mouth? It's big enough, and I still have to ask. ”
Cao Shi was so angry that he sprinkled the melon seeds on the ground and said, "Girl, what do you mean?" Behind closed doors, who can I ask to go? Don't ask you, I'll ask Miss Qi to go? Look at you, you're still not a girl in Beifu. ”
Zhuang Ying looked at her sister and mother who were angry, and had the heart to mediate, but she didn't know how to say it in her mouth, so she only said about the phenomenon that everyone cares about Cao's family today: "Other wives are also good to their wives, and Sister Qi also asked Huiyuan to bring things!" This will be bad for others, and it can't be justified. ”
Cao Shi and Zhuang Qi said in unison, raised their fingers and pointed at Zhuang Ying and said, "Stop!" ”
Zhuang Ying is often looked at like this by her sister and mother, and she is used to it, saying the same as not speaking, so she sits down by herself and does not speak, but listens.
Cao said: "I told you not to befriend those wild girls in Jinghuaxie, for your sake." Don't look at today, the Huiyuan girl came, and seduced your big brother to go up the wall and uncover the tiles, does the old lady know about such a good thing? ”
After Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying heard this, their faces turned red, and they were embarrassed to ask.
At this time, it was rumored that the eldest lady was coming.
The three mothers and daughters of the Cao family breathed a sigh of relief, and then the Qin family walked in with two big girls, Yuanyi and Yuanqin.
Yuan Yi lantern, Yuan Qin mentioned a gold food box.
Qin greeted him with a smile, and as soon as he came in, he said, "Have you eaten it all?" ”
Cao said: "No, I'm full of gas, where is there room for anything else in my stomach." ”
Qin didn't need to say hello, found a place to sit down, and motioned for Yuan Qin to put the box on the table.
Then, Qin Shi said: "That's because you have eaten too many crabs, I'm afraid that your body won't be able to bear it, so I'll bring you a soup to warm your stomach." The two girls also ate a lot today, so they should go in for some. So let Yuanqin take it out and put it in the bowl.
Cao Shirang put the soup aside, to the effect that he didn't want to eat it at the moment. Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Ying ignored it, but ate it.
Qin said: "I heard Hu'er say, today the uncle came to Beifu to make trouble. His face was much more modest than when he came, and he said, "If there is nothing else, I will give you a compensation." ”
Cao Shi heard this, and before that, he went to Java in a rage. Knowing that the Qin family could make amends in such a low voice, he didn't want to make trouble with the old lady.
Cao Shi deliberately asked, "Does the old lady know?" ”
Qin said with a smile: "The old lady is worried about Dongfu all day long, how can she know." ”
Cao sneered: "That's right, there are more things going on in Dongfu recently." How good can we be in Beifu? ”
The Qin family knew that the Cao family was going to talk about the second master, so they didn't mention it.
Cao continued: "Look, it's scheduled to be the beginning of September, maybe I've already chosen a good date and won't let me know." Sneak around and make a big deal about it, so that you can get a golden face. ”
Qin said: "The second wife is more relaxed, you have always been kind-hearted, you don't care about the uncle's affairs, what is the thing outside?" ”
Cao's heart was pantothenic, and he was a little moved from Qin's mouth.
Zhuang Qi was listening to the clouds and fog, and she asked about Uncle Zhuang Xuan, "What's wrong with the eldest brother today?" We don't know anything about Lou Taiyue. ”
Cao raised his hand and said, "Go, go, what do you know." ”
So, Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Ying put down the soup bowl, and the two sisters led the girl back to the room.
Leaving the Cao family and the Qin family concubine.
Cao said: "Who can I get along with?" I can't get along with myself. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and said, "Mrs., you said, when he married Yuan's son, did I say half a sentence?" Give him a one-handed arrangement, beautiful scenery. This second room came in, and she didn't give birth for many years, and it's all my fault, and it's not that I can give birth for her. Now such a sneaky one has also attracted thieves to kill them. To put it mildly, the second master treated me like this, not because I was a person in the room. ”
Qin Shi went over, took her hand, and patted her for comfort.
Cao Shi said again: "Look at all these years, what does the old lady look at our Sanfu with her eyes?" Xifu is a treasure of feng shui! However, madam, you are better, you have an uncle. ”
When he said this, he slapped himself and Qin's face, isn't it because Qin's son has a mad man?
How could the Qin clan not know what he meant, and only said: "Okay, we just know by ourselves, no matter how much we care, what's the benefit?" ”
Cao Shi suddenly changed his mind and said: "Mrs., your heart is full of chivalry, and you don't see it lightly, I don't have that much belly." Zuo is just talking, and he can't do anything. Never mind. Today, I think about it, open my mouth and have more pairs of chopsticks, and I can see it, I only keep my two incapable daughters for a lifetime. ”
Qin smiled bitterly, and when he heard what Cao said, he poked his heart every word.
Seeing that Qin was silent, Cao Shi changed his mind and said: "Actually, today's uncle didn't do much, he lost something to find a few days ago." I can't find a girl to put her angry. Don't take it to heart, wife. ”
Qin said: "Don't blame him. ”
Cao Shi covered his hand to his mouth, leaned over in a low voice and said: "Reasoning, I shouldn't say it, it's just you and me tonight, I'll tell you, Uncle has seen the person who is in the mirror." ”
After hearing this, the Qin family got up solemnly and said in a panic: "Second wife, don't talk nonsense, the old lady is careful of the meat." ”
Cao squinted with a smile, pointed at Qin's and said, "What's good to say that wife, uncle still doesn't look down on that girl!" Who are you talking about? It's the wisdom around the girl! I see it today, and the appearance is good, and the people are also kind. It is not one thing with the girl. ”
The Qin clan wanted to refute, but the Cao clan stopped frequently, and then said: "I only said this to you, and I didn't say it in front of the eldest girl." Uncle came over today, coincidentally, that Huiyuan was going out, he fell in love at a glance, and said that he would marry back with a sedan chair, and he would not let him go if he died. I saw that the uncle didn't seem to be sick, and he came over with intention. Why don't you come to Beifu to do it? For no reason, I don't like to come every day. ”
The Qin family thought about it for half a minute, and didn't plan to talk back, it was important to calm down the turmoil on the Cao family's side, and the Cao family also gave face, and repeatedly said that Zhuang Ji was not ill, and people were normal. It was hitting the heart of the Qin family.
Cao said: "If you are willing, wife, I will be in charge of my uncle's family business." Catch up with Ming'er, I'll find the old lady to ask for someone to go! The old lady didn't give it, so I asked the girl, but now she is a member of the big brother's family. ”
The Cao clan was extremely capable of instigating, and as soon as they came and went, the Qin clan acquiesced to the matter.
After the Qin family left, Gui Yuan came up and asked the Cao family puzzled: "Madam, why did you help Dongfu today?" ”
Cao Shi changed his face and said angrily: "This belly and back is being attacked by the enemy, which is just an opportunity. It's a good thing she came, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it. ”
Guiyuan was excited, interested, and asked, "What is the plan for this madam?" ”
Cao Shi smiled: "Didn't your second master come back in early September?" Do you want to be big? Okay, I'll tell the old lady, the uncle has a person, this wife is bigger than the concubine, as long as the uncle identifies this family, the second master is to turn the sky, and he can only carry the woman in from the back door, and still want to be beautiful? Unless Dongfu doesn't want to give him such a rectification. Besides, Jinghua Xie's people are all average, Sanxi's temperament is not worthy of lifting shoes for you, Zisu's girl is stubborn and still remembers our grudges, and the girl looks dignified and quiet, as soon as I enter the house, I see that the dress will come to stammer. Behavior and things, which time was not cleaned up by Huiyuan Cooking? Rectify the mirror and cut off her wings first! Otherwise, the second girl and the third girl will have no future, and it is even more hateful that she has caused a bunch of obscure things! I hope to get out sooner. ”
After listening to it, Guiyuan praised it. But he still didn't understand, and asked suspiciously: "Why didn't Mrs. tell the eldest lady the real situation today?" ”
Cao Shi said: "You are really stupid like a pig, and the truth is annoying and not good-looking." Because of thinking about it, he instructed Gui Yuan again: "Tomorrow, you pass on the words that the uncle likes Huiyuan." ”
Gui Yuan covered his mouth and smiled, nodding again and again.
It is said that the Qin family came out of the North Mansion and wanted to go to Jinghua Xie to tell Yu Qi that Zhuang Xuan had no intention of offending Huiyuan today, because Cao's words just reminded her that when she walked outside the Zhongfu, she hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go back to the East Mansion, and did not go to Jinghua Xie to explain.
Coincidentally, the big girl in front of the old lady, Zhu'er, came out of it and instructed the mother-in-law guarding the door to give the key, and happened to see the Qin family.
Zhu'er knew the etiquette and came out to greet her, and the Qin family used the excuse to come over to see the old lady, afraid that the old lady would be uncomfortable after eating too many sea crabs a few days ago, and she didn't go in because she saw the key. Zhu'er learned that she wanted to invite inside, but Qin said that since the key was given, she would not disturb the old lady's rest.
In this way, the Qin family returned to Dongfu and did not mention it.
Zhu'er sent the Qin family back, the key to the courtyard gate, and was about to enter the Shouzhong residence, when he suddenly heard the sound of pouring water from Jinghua Xie, so he walked to the gate of Jinghua Xie's courtyard.
When I got to the courtyard gate, I took a look and saw Sanxi walking into the house with a basin.
Zhu'er wanted to say hello, but thinking that it was too late, she went back.
It turned out that just now, Yu Qi, Zisu, and Sanxi asked Huiyuan what happened in Beifu today.
Huiyuan was embarrassed to say it for a long time, and finally told the truth.
After getting the truth, I washed my face and went to rest.
However, on the contrary, it is very different from what Cao said, and this is not the case.
