Cao's words are very unreasonable, and he just justifies himself. If you really want to hold a whole house meeting, there is a lack of old ladies to take ideas, who is the backbone? Even if the old lady is not there, the lord and wife of the four mansions should come to comply with the rules, and now the two masters of the North Mansion and the South Mansion are there, the East Mansion is the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law who married outside, and the West Mansion is a little girl who came in from outside, and the Cao family actually said "It's all".

When the aunt heard Cao's words, she suddenly felt disgusted in her heart, and suddenly envied the Qin family, because she saw that the eldest grandmother had not spoken for a long time, so she smiled and said: "Their wife in Dongfu, they are eating crabs at their feet, but they go back, and the most troublesome people in Xifu are not there, and the two of them are sitting here, I am afraid that they dare not speak." ”

These are the words, but they have several meanings. the first floor, to resolve the current atmosphere for the grandmother; the second floor, indicating that the family meeting is not in accordance with the rules; On the third floor, remind the Cao family that the people in Xifu are not easy to mess with, so why bother to bring Xifu to talk.

It turned out that the Cao group was "eating the Mid-Autumn Festival" today, and the drunkard's intention was not in the wine, but in the pearls in Yu Qi's hands.

Since he met Zhuang Hu in the morning, Zhuang Hu went back and asked his grandmother, but he didn't get the desired result, so he asked Dao Feng to tell Cao's family. At that time, the Cao family heard that the eldest man went out of the house to socialize, and the East Mansion took turns to do the East "Mid-Autumn Festival", but said that it would not be done this year, so the Cao family thought, if the East Mansion does not do it, then the North Mansion will do it next, so it is impossible to break the solar terms. Therefore, I picked a few baskets of osmanthus flowers, put them in baskets, and ordered Guiyuan and Yuyuan to carry them out, and first went to report to the old lady, and asked for a request by the way. When Cao heard this, he hesitated for a while, decided not to disturb the old lady first, turned his head and went to Dongfu to invite Qin, and said about the matter of "eating the Mid-Autumn Festival", focusing on seeing Zhuang Hu, and asked Zhuang Hu in detail what he said to his grandmother, Zhuang Hu still said that.

Cao's farewell to Dongfu, along the road and came to Shouzhongju, happened to see the grandmother come out of it, so she retreated from the people around, asked the grandmother to move, she wanted to say a few words to the grandmother. All in all, Cao used the old parents outside the grandmother's house as a threat, asking her to go to Beifu to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival today, and then ask about the thief on the first night, and ask the grandmother to confirm it again, she doesn't believe that the pearl was given by the grandmother, even if it is true, she can't believe it! You have to think of a way to get rid of Sanxi and pinch Yu Qi.

The eldest grandmother begged Cao's in every possible way, but still said that the pearl was given to Miss Qi by herself. Cao said that he had never seen this kind of pearl in Zhuangfu for most of his life, and it must have been in Xifu. In his heart, the Cao family also thought so: The third wife of Xifu is the county lord from the palace! The third wife was hindered that Yu Qi was the daughter of Xifu, so she didn't want to tear her face and blame Lu Qi for not pursuing the matter. However, as the person in charge of the Zhuang Mansion, the Cao family has to seek truth from facts.

No matter how the grandmother begged and explained, Cao just didn't believe it, snorted fiercely, and then carried the osmanthus basket to the old lady to invite her to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, the old lady said that she ate the crisp tea brought by Beifu, and she was so tired that she couldn't eat anything else. Leaving Shouzhongju, the Cao family was depressed, originally wanted to go to Xifu and Nanfu, but in the end he didn't go, and ordered Guiyuan and Yuyuan to travel.

Cao's went back to Beifu and instructed to buy the matter of "eating the Mid-Autumn Festival", that is, steaming, steaming, boiling and boiling several large baskets of crabs that were given gifts from outside, adding drinks and snacks, and so on.

I'm almost ready, but I forgot about it, the old lady didn't come, and the girl Jinghua Xie didn't come! I forgot to get her! asked Guiyuan to go to Zhongfu again, and specially invited Yu Qi to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After inviting them one by one, in the end, the Xifu was not present, the old lady didn't come, and the eldest lady of the Dongfu had something to do again, which was very cold. At that time, Zhuang Hu and Aunt Mi and others arrived, and the Cao family found an excuse to separate the two and told them: "I originally wanted to be the same as in previous years, the four mansions were lively and lively, and the old men were only fifteen and sixteen every year. It has always been a group of us girls who celebrate for a few days according to the festival, and this year it is deserted; I think about last night, and I can't get away with it. I heard that the pearl of the girl has some origins. ”

Zhuang Hu asked the grandmother, and they said that she gave it to her, what else could it be? Su Ri, the aunt was close to the county lord, and understood that the Cao family did not come to the North Mansion to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival because of the excuse of Xifuan, and the Cao family had complaints in her heart, so it was difficult for the aunt to refute. When Cao's gossip is discussed, everyone listens to it.

Who knows, these words were deliberately made by the Cao family, so that they had a psychological background in advance.

Now, it is really time to "bureau" to scatter Yu Qi.

At the moment, the Cao family didn't dare to ask about the pearl directly, so let the grandmother speak first, and probably wanted to ask the grandmother to "defect" and deny what happened last night! Who would have thought that the grandmother pretended to be stupid and looked innocent.

How can my aunt not know that the eldest grandmother is embarrassed, after all, the eldest grandmother has followed Miss Qi in the mirror flower Xie Li, today she turned over to be the master, so she can't turn her face and turn her back on the old master! In addition, when Aunt Yu saw that Zhuang Hu was there, Cao was not afraid of offending Dongfu when she said these words. Because the aunt didn't know that the Cao family and Zhuang Hu secretly had those things, she said that sentence, taking into account several meanings, but also taking care of the face of Dongfu, which is the truth.

As soon as the eldest girl Zhuang Hu heard Cao's words calling the grandmother, she knew the meaning of it, and slowly looked sideways at the grandmother.

Seeing this, Cao sighed and said, "I think it's our grandmother who is ashamed." I've been in the house for more than half a year, and I don't think of myself as my master, so I hope that whoever is looking at you is looking at you! "I looked at the grandmother with disgust.

The eldest grandmother got up timidly, saluted the Cao family, and said to Nuo Nuo: "Mrs. forgive your sins." ”

Cao Shi immediately responded: "What a crime you have! ”

The eldest grandmother blushed, glanced at Yu Qi, and pulled her mouth again, trying to show a smile to cover up her embarrassment.

Seeing that Cao and the others were embarrassed by the grandmother, Yu Qi was very worried about her, so he changed the topic and said, "Madam, I brought something here." ”

Cao Shi suddenly woke up: "Oh? Then he looked at the crowd left and right, and said, "What is it?" ”

Yu Qi turned back and took the box from Sanxi's hand, but Sanxi held on tightly and didn't let go, his eyes shivered coldly, staring at Cao. From Sanxi's eyes, it could be seen that she was frightened by Cao's family.

Yu Qi said in a low voice: "Give it to me!" ”

Sanxi didn't let go, but grabbed it tighter.

Seeing their master and servant like this, Cao Shi and the others were embarrassed to laugh in front of them, and they all covered their mouths with handkerchiefs to block them.

Finally, with the help of Zisu, Yu Qi snatched the box, opened it, and revealed the blue pearls inside.

Yu Qi stepped forward and gently placed it on the low table.

At that moment, Cao's eyebrows lowered and looked down, and Aunt Yi also turned her face strangely, and even Zhuang Hu couldn't stand her curiosity and got up.

The eldest grandmother stood motionless, and when she saw that their eyes were looking at the pearls, she stood stupidly and embarrassed, and sat down with a weak heart as if she had done something wrong.

Present.

The aunt looked at the pearl, but said in her mouth, "What is Miss Qi doing here?" ”

Yu Qi frowned, smiled, and replied politely: "Mrs. wants to see these pearls, and Sister Guiyuan wants one or two, what is the point of these two pearls!" In case everyone is there, wouldn't it be troublesome to spread the word, so it's better to bring them all. He turned back to the eldest grandmother and said, "I haven't thanked my sister-in-law much, and when I turn around, I will also hand over a gift to thank my sister-in-law for this kindness." ”

Aunt Mi and Zhuang Hu were surprised, picked one up casually, and took it in detail, similar to the old lady looking at pearls when she was looking, but the two of them looked at it with a smile.

The aunt said, "It's really a good thing." Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation" says that pearls are produced in the belly of mussels, and they have been nourished for the longest time, which is the treasure that has become a treasure. I'm afraid that the beads generally have less time to be raised in the belly of the mussel, so they are all white, and this blue one should last the longest! ”

Zhuang Hu smiled: "Yo! What my aunt said was the same as the truth. The pearl was originally white, and naturally it was white, and it was the best quality. ”

Aunt Yi shook her head and said: "The ancients Li Shangyin had a poem that said, 'There are tears in the pearls of the sea and the moon, and the blue fields are warm and the jade is smoking'. It can be seen that the verses of the ancients have words inside and out. ”

As she spoke, the aunt smiled at Cao.

Cao Shi didn't understand these words, sneered a few times, and said, "The girl has let me see it." Anyway, I've been in Zhuangfu for decades, but I've never seen such treasures. It's a pity that your wife from Dongfu left first, otherwise, I still want to ask her if she has any extra in her hand, and I will ask for a box of face-to-face gifts, so that I can talk to people about a few big business to pass the next year, so that the whole mansion can have a decent time at the end of the year. ”

Zhuang Hu said: "Yo! The second wife laughed at our wife. The cigarette sticks that our wives eat every day are obviously placed on the kang, but they are called to look for them! I can't remember what I said in front of me, how do I know that there are these! I'm afraid it was given by our eldest brother, or an heirloom in my sister-in-law's family. ”

These people are all sour.

Because he didn't hear any clear accusations or questions, Yu Qi still pretended to be stupid and said: "Since my sister-in-law has rewarded me, then I will be the master, if the wives and sisters like it, take a few and play with them." As the saying goes, 'women are pleasing to themselves, and soldiers are dead for confidants', and treasures should be given to those who know things, and they live up to the good words of good horses and heroes. These treasures have been praised by my wife and sister, and my sister-in-law has given them to me, I am clumsy, I can't tell the good from the bad, all of them are here, isn't it a pearl cast into the dark? ”

This remark really praised everyone, and unintentionally reminded the grandmother that "the one who is a confidant dies", although the unintentional words reached the ears of the grandmother, not to mention how harsh and uncomfortable it was.

So, the eldest grandmother replied: "It's the girl's, and the girl is in charge." ”

Yu Qi said again: "I came late just now, the second sister and they punished me for eating osmanthus wine, and put a lot of salt in it, but the saltiness made me panic, I surrendered, saying that I would give it as a gift, so that my sisters and sisters would stop." Fortunately, I didn't send it just now, so I came to my wife, and it happened that my wife liked it, and if I gave it to my sisters and sisters, I would have no face. ”

Cao said: "This is also polite, I will say it casually." Because I couldn't see clearly in the darkness last night, I felt a little strange in my heart. I wonder what kind of treasure this is! It's not your aunt's words, the ancients all said yes! If I say a bad word, then the ancients must not crawl out of the ground and drag me away! Even if I die, I have to see it first, don't I? ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and the aunt hurriedly said that the more Cao's mouth became stronger.

Later, Cao Shi said: "Listen to the meaning of the eldest girl's words, saying that this thing is not from Dongfu?" Then I'm curious, I usually see white, how can I see blue, where is it? Tell me, I'll trade out the dowry I've had for decades, and I'll buy some back. As he spoke, his eyes looked directly at the grandmother.

The eldest grandmother trembled and lowered her eyebrows, and her heart was empty.

Zhuang Hu was a little suspicious when he saw that the eldest grandmother was a little suspicious, so he coughed twice and said, "Sister-in-law, if you know, tell the second wife that there is no shortage of silver in her house, so that she can take the car and send us a gift when she comes back." ”

The eldest grandmother raised her chin and pretended to be calm: "This ...... How to make my wife break the bank. ”

Cao said: "It seems that your Dongfu has selfish intentions and doesn't tell me the truth. I'm a little stingy! Your Dongfu wife has a chivalrous spirit on weekdays, and the gold, silver and jewelry don't seem to care much, how can you come here and treat the land as wealth. Don't even give me an ethereal message, you don't need to pay for it, what are you afraid of! ”

Zisu, who had been standing behind for a long time, looked anxious, for fear that the eldest grandmother would not be determined to deny what happened last night, so he said, "Call back to Mrs., I know the origin of this pearl." ”

Everyone was surprised and focused their eyes on Zisu.

Zi Su said: "The eldest grandmother seems to have said that this pearl was produced in the country of Lu and was obtained from a man named Meng Wubo, and Meng Wubo got it from a merchant named Mr. Zheng. If the wife asks where it came from, if it really says Lu country, where can we find it? There are several floors in here! ”

When my aunt heard this, she smiled knowingly and took out a handkerchief to cover up. Cao Shi and Zhuang Hu looked at Zisu in a daze, and they didn't know if what she said was true or not.

When Yu Qi listened, he wondered in his heart, Zisu couldn't tell this lie! Push it directly to your sister-in-law and say that it will be over if the big brother sends it.

Who knows, there are words in Zisu's words, or a few layers of meaning!

The grandmother's house also had some façade before the accident, needless to say, she read a few books in her spare time as a young lady. There is an old collection of "Left Biography" in it.

There is a story recorded in the book, saying that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous minister named Meng Wubo in the Lu State, who was a man of no faith and boastful, one day, he participated in the reception of the king Lu Aigong, and had a banquet with the ministers, and there was a minister he did not like during the banquet, so he deliberately asked people: "Why is Mr. Zheng getting richer and richer?" Lu Aigong heard it and replied for Mr. Zheng: "If a person eats too much promise, he will naturally be rich and fat." ”

Zisu's answer is obvious, it is the story: break your word and get fat!

Zisu used allusions to warn the grandmother to speak carefully, and also ridiculed Cao's obesity!

Anyway, why is my aunt laughing? Aunt Mi is also a boudoir book holder, I understand this story a little, but I don't know why Zisu turned around to deceive people, I think it was the Cao family who punished her before, she held a grudge, so she used "breaking her word and getting fat" to satirize people!

My aunt knew in her heart that it was sarcastic, but she didn't break it.

When Yu Qi figured it out, this is what it meant, she was secretly bitter in her heart, and she was also wronged for her grandmother, and glanced at her grandmother very distressed.

At this moment, the eldest grandmother's heart touched the reef and was in pain, her understanding was: Yu Qi and Zisu don't trust themselves anymore, so they use this allusion to preemptively, saying that they are untrustworthy, trying to take care of themselves, and take advantage of them!

However, the eldest grandmother did not, her loyalty to Yu Qi has always been the same! I never expected this to be the result!

I never expected that the few sides were not pleasing and caused trouble to the parents outside the house, which led to those things in the future!
