Chapter 255: A Critical Moment

Later, Yu Qi thought that Zisu's decision this time was too hasty and reckless, and she should not openly confront the Cao family.

Bojing Laoni once said: The more critical the moment, the more you have to be a man with your tail between your legs, and the higher the power, the tighter the clamp, the better.

Remove the second half of the sentence, the first sentence can be said to be a good way to deal with things between people. How is it different from the Imperial Palace in the mansion here? In the palace, one person is on the top, and ten thousand slaves bow their heads, and in the mansion, although no one stands on the peak, but the women are also close to the slaves. Only by holding their tails everywhere can they keep each other warm and live in harmony for a long time.

If Yu Qi was in Xifu at that time, the situation would not have been handled like this. However, at that time, Yu Qi was overwhelmed in the Zhongfu banquet, and he couldn't find something to go out of. She was in the middle of the table, sitting like pins and needles, but she had been comforting herself, Mr. Yao was cautious and must have taken people out, Zisu also went, everything should be fine! But she neglected that a group of people were not there, but it wasn't Cao and the others?

Yu Qi's "overwhelmed" incident happened after Cao's departure.

The girls share a table with the gentlemen, and according to last year, they don't sit so much. The old lady said that there are few people in a big family, and it would be nice to have a big table to sit together! Then he made fun of Cao's again, blaming Cao's for arranging troops randomly, there was no human taste at all, it seemed that a family ate the same dishes, but they were separated by tables and stools, and people's hearts were not close.

Because the old lady said that, the girls and the gentlemen got up one after another, and gathered at the old lady's side, and did not eat. You try to amuse the old lady with every word you say.

The old lady said, "When you are old, you will know this benefit." When I am younger, I can feel that there is anything good, just like the second wife, with a sad face all day long, and I am worried endlessly. After a lifetime of hard work, what is the end picture? ”

The old lady's words, looking at the sighing life, no one could hear that it was another compliment to the Cao family. Therefore, no one from the wives answered, and the aunts would say that she was close to the Cao family again, so she had to raise it again.

Zhuang Xuan, who is the daughter of the Cao family, saw that the old lady was talking about her mother when she returned, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she said: "Those who work should endure hardships and sell some cheap strength, and they can't get the old lady's good son." After looking at the previous one, what did you say? It's called eating warm and hot, who knows how to be grateful! The old lady is still sarcastic about our wife, although I don't like our wife's actions, but I have to give us some face in Beifu, right? I'll just say a word for our wife that it's not worth it. ”

When her father's second master Zhuang Lu saw this, it was obviously disrespectful, but his daughter dared to say it with such a smile, which was naturally a joke. But as a father, he wanted to show his attitude, so he reprimanded: "Ju'er, it's all your wife's fault for drowning you on weekdays and making you lawless." What do you say these bastard words! ”

The old lady said, "It's okay! Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, family rejoicing. Where does the joy come from? Joy comes from jokes. If I am allowed to laugh, no one is allowed to tell jokes? There are no rules in the palace for you in the North Mansion. I'd like to hear what the second girl means by looking at the front and looking after. ”

Zhuang Ju was supported by the old lady's words, and glanced at his father with disgust, and said, "When I am serious, I am like this, and I am also like this when I am not serious." Let's talk from the heart, it's not very popular. Old lady, you let me say it again, then I said, don't be angry. ”

The old lady said: "No, this meal is your wife's hard work, didn't you give her a breath?" Yes, there is anger out of anger, and there is no anger to find anger. The meal is round. ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Then I can say it." The old lady was unfair. Just laughing at our wife is laughing at our Beifu and laughing at me. If you talk about your relatives and grandchildren, which one is not? It's just that you can't get used to seeing us. ”

The old lady said, "What do you say? ”

Zhuang Qian glanced at the seat, and his eyes fell on Yu Qi and Zhuang Jue, and finally, he said with a smile: "In front of the photo, only look at two shadows, look at the back, and the other shadows are gone." ”

This is a little vinegary and a little angry. Because Zhuang Qi's eyes fell on Yu Qi and Zhuang Jue, those who understood or understood, and those who didn't understand, thought that Zhuang Qi wanted the two of them to help him say a few words!

Zhuang Yu saw that the old lady and the others did not respond, so he said with a smile: "The second sister is still angry about that day!" ”

Zhuang Qi praised Zhuang Jue's face, and sighed slightly: "I don't dare, I don't have a backing, I don't dare to say nonsense, what is angry that day, only like the fifth sister cares." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "If I care, will I still talk to the second sister?" ”

The old lady accepted the chopsticks, hammered her forehead, and said, "I don't understand a word of what you say." Guessing the lantern riddle is coming! If you have anything to say, just say it! Say! I'll have something to say in a moment. ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Just say it!" Old lady, on that day, they were all your relatives, why did you pay more attention to this and less than that? This is to blame our wife for not sharing a table. There is no reason for this. Hit you at the beginning, which of us didn't follow that rule. ”

The old lady said, "Yo! The second girl blames me. I have to ask, why am I so heavy on this and light on that? ”

My sister Zhuang Ying knew that she wanted to take out the matter of Mr. Yao's coming to treat the disease and say that this matter has always been a hurdle, and Zhuang Ying has been thinking about it. These days, Zhuang Xuan refused to come out to get close to his brothers and sisters because of that. So, Zhuang Ying pulled her down and said, "Sister." ”

Zhuang Xuan pushed Zhuang Ying with his elbow, "go" in disgust, and then smiled and groaned: "There are rewards and rewards, there are punishments, there are direct advice, and there are things to say." That's what the old lady used to say. I remember it clearly! Now, the old lady is graciously allowed to tell the truth, so why don't I say it. Anyway, they were all sick that day, and the old lady ignored our wife and asked Mr. Yao to go to Xifu first. Later, I thought, the third brother is seriously ill, I should go to him first, I am anxious and willful, I made a fool of myself, it should not be mine. Later, when I reflected, it wasn't all my fault? ”

The old lady pointed at Zhuang Pu and said, "Your second brother didn't listen to me?" ”

It means that later, the old lady asked Zhuang Pu to send Mr. Yao to Beifu to see Cao's family, and asked Zhuang Pu to apologize to Beifu. Zhuang Pu did this.

At the moment, Zhuang Pu was anxious and said, "But you wronged me." Old lady, don't listen to the second sister carrying a knife after the horse and chopping indiscriminately. It's a no-brainer. Net jokes about my anger. ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Listen! If you are allowed to make fun of us, you are not allowed to tell me a word or two of the truth. Well, I won't talk about it. ”

When everyone heard this, some laughed sincerely, and some flattered and laughed falsely.

Zhuang Jue was the leader of the incident, so he had to come out and say a few words, so he said: "It's not the right time to blame me for being sick, the left is involved in a row, and the right is involved in a row." In this way, I can't compensate for offending my sister, how about I give my sister a cup later? ”

Zhuang Qi said: "No need! Can't afford it. Besides, what does it have to do with you, and even more so with our wife. They are all sick people, and they are sympathetic to each other, and you don't know what happened. I'm not afraid of offending Sister Qi when I say this, I guess Sister Qi understands what I mean. ”

Only then did the conversation fall on Yu Qi.

Yu Qi was concerned about Zisu and Mr. Yao, worried about whether they had picked up Sanxi and the ghost mother. At this time, Zhuang Qi turned her head and directly named Yu Qi, she woke up in a trance, looked at Zhuang Qi with a smile, and couldn't find the words for a while.

Zhuang Jue stood next to Yu Li, saw that she was speechless, and wanted to help her out of the siege, so he took Yu Li's hand and said, "What Sister Qi does to the second sister, I will bear it." After a while, I will pay tribute to the second sister for Sister Qi, and it will be regarded as reparation. ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Then you have to pay." Sister Qi really offended me, and the fifth sister offended me. ”

Zhuang Yu snorted and wanted to talk back, but the county lord and Aunt Fengxian cast blaming glances, so she endured it.

I only heard Zhuang Jue say again: "That's right, that's right!" It's all lost! It's all lost! ”

Zhuang Xuan said: "You guys are very good at talking. When I say the wind blows, the past is gone. ”

Yu Qi's face turned red, recalling the scene of the day, and recalling Zhuang Qi's words that day. Zhuang Qi asked Yu Qi if his words counted?

Now, Zhuang Xuan reckoned with the autumn!

Yu Qi didn't dare to refuse, she bowed deeply to Zhuang Qi, and said, "Sister, spare me!" It's my fault. As he spoke, he returned to the table, poured a glass of fruit wine, saluted Zhuang Xuan, and said, "I apologize to my sister in front of the old lady, the master, and the wife." I didn't talk that day, and I offended my sister. ”

I had to bow my head under the eaves of people, and the practice here was to respond to Bojing Laoni's words "be a man with my tail between my legs", and then go deeper, and gather people's eyes over, so that they have no intention of paying attention to things outside the Zhongfu, so that Zisu and them can send Sanxi and the ghost mother away. This is called "Striking the East and Attacking the West, Surrounding Wei to Save Zhao"!

Zhuang Qi was relieved of his hatred, and with a "ouch" sound, he went to take Yu Qi's hand, and was as friendly as usual, and said: "I'll just tell you a joke, and my sister is also serious." ”

At that time, Yu Qi ran out of his back, and the wine was already in his stomach.

Seeing this, Zhuang Jue also turned around to pour wine, and complained that the fruit wine was light and not sincere enough, and said, "I drank the rest!" Fruit wine is not as good as our gold paper drunk, if there is gold paper drunk, this sincerity, the second sister should be solved. ”

Zhuang Yu went to grab Zhuang Yu and didn't give him a drink. The other lords and wives also meant the same thing, because Zhuang Ying was sick, how could they give him drink?

Yu Qi snatched it up, snatched the cup from Zhuang Jue's hand, and said that he wanted to replace it. In the middle of the hour, Zhuang Yu came over and rushed to replace him. At the end, Zhuang Pu got up angrily, raised the wine jug, and drank it with a bang, and after a few sips, those people were still grabbing the cup!

Zhuang Pu wiped his mouth and said, "It's comfortable!" It's all mine! With that, he grabbed his eldest brother Zhuang Ji to the table, and no longer surrounded the old lady.

Fortunately, at this time, the eldest old man Zhuang Xi came to the round and said: "The children are lively, it is the old lady who loves them, and let them be." Back then, the old lady didn't do that to us. There are rules for everything. I'm so envious of the children! ”

The old lady laughed happily and listened. Then, I listened to a few old men talk about how the old lady taught people harshly. The crowd listened for a while. Because the old man was open, practical, and talked about people's interests, the old lady was very satisfied, and openly and secretly motioned for the girls to come and sit together.

The girls understood, brought their chairs, and gathered them around the chairman's table.

After the old man finished speaking, the old lady said: "Actually, you only heard me say the second wife, why didn't I say you?" Saying that I value this and light that, I don't have that heart. My heart is always in the four mansions. I want to care about people, and there are people who don't need me to care. Am I wrong? ”

The little aunt in Dongfu gave birth, and Aunt Nazha gave birth in Beifu Lizhuyuan, these two major events, the people of the two provinces kept it secret, and no one took the initiative to say anything after so long. The old lady was worried about this! At one point, he was angry and scolded them, saying, "False filial piety! ”

The atmosphere was a little cool.

Seeing that no one answered, the old lady said, "It's all a good thing after all, in the words of the second girl, after looking at the front, it is a happy event after looking at it, and it is also a happy event after seeing it." Left, but I didn't know it a little later. I also learn from the mind of the second girl, and I don't care. Lest ye say that I am old and narrow-hearted. However, there are not many happy events, and today I will take advantage of a festival to ask you for one more happy event. ”

After saying this, the old men got up and listened to the old lady, and when the wives saw the old man get up, they also got up, and the aunts did not dare to sit at the table.

The old lady snorted, pressed her palm, and said, "Sit down, sit down!" ”

The crowd sat down.

The old lady said: "Their big brother in Dongfu has a matter on my mind, which is perfect." Xifu their second brother, what do you say? Shouldn't the people of Xifu say it? Xifu's parents are civilized, so I don't have to ask. But Beifu is hard, the second master and the second wife are busy looking forward and backward, and they don't have time to take care of the second girl and the third girl, I want to ask, it's time to go on the agenda. I can't say this less! He took Zhuang Xuan's hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said, "The old lady loves you, so she fights for you." Don't be embarrassed, men should get married, women should get married, you should say! You are embarrassed to beg by your daughter's family, the old lady is cheeky, you should tell them. Don't let people mislead you! Eldest sister and eldest brother, one by one is not settled, not only you are mistaken, but also the one who is behind! Am I not wrong? ”

The old men said, "Mother said yes! ”

Zhuang Pu's disgusted face looked away, when he couldn't hear it, Zhuang Ju was beside him, so he naturally heard it clearly, but he didn't dare to refute it, he only bowed his head in shame, and tears came out.

The old lady said, "Your wife is not here, and your master is not in charge." Let me ask you, after this year, will you do your good deeds? ”

Zhuang Qi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Zuo is just the words of the matchmaker of my parents, do I have room to refute?" The old lady wants to pick me up, so let's get it! ”

The old lady hugged her distressedly and said, "How can I say that I will pick you up!" ”

Zhuang Qi said: "If you don't chase me, then beg the old lady not to send me out of the house." It is to marry a chicken and a dog, and let me stay in our house forever like my big sister. I will honor the old lady for our lord and wife, and I will honor the old lady for the rest of my life! ”

The old lady said happily: "Listen, listen, this is the heart of the second girl!" But again, her eldest sister works hard, learn what she does! Her eldest sister looked forward to a Mid-Autumn Festival holiday for a year, and went back for a reunion. It's better for you to say these words, don't let the Tong Mansion hear it, people won't want to see you. ”

Just as he was speaking of this, someone came in who was making a commotion outside, and it was Zisu who listened to the voice.

The old lady was surprised, looked outside the courtyard, and said, "Could it be that you are drunk on a big holiday?" Look at it, who's making trouble? ”

Zhu'er waited for the girl to hear the voice early and went out to see.

After a while, Zhu'er ran back and reported nervously: "Old lady, second wife, they are back." ”

When she heard Zisu's voice, her heart tightened suddenly, and she heard Zhu'er say that the second wife was back, and she couldn't help but think: Why did Zisu come back with the second wife? Didn't you send Mr. Medicine? Don't......

It's a pinch!

Cold sweat soaked Yu Qi's whole body, and she looked out of the courtyard, hoping that she had heard it wrong, and that it was safe and smooth.
