Chapter 268: Jealousy
The master and servant have not yet reached the North Mansion.
Because Beeswax was very worried, he stopped the eldest grandmother and said, "Grandma, the in-laws are right, this is not suitable in the past." β
Why don't grandma know it? But Cao's "threat" is very uncomfortable in his heart, isn't he afraid that Cao's counterattack will be fierce?
Beeswax said: "Grandma, what do we say about the past now?" Miss Qi......"
The eldest grandmother glared at the beeswax and said, "I gave Miss Qi's pearls." Naturally, it can't be said to be bad. β
Beeswax said: "But we went over, didn't we just talk about it?" At the moment, the second wife didn't care about our in-laws and the master of the in-laws outside the house, let's watch it for a few days. Besides, doesn't the old lady want grandma to get along with the second wife and the eldest girl? I'm not afraid that I won't have the opportunity to talk closely. β
What Beeswax said also makes sense, blaming himself for being impulsive.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I endured it in every possible way, and I didn't deliberately go to see Miss Qi, for fear that the Cao family would see something, after all, the pearl matter was a lie. That day in Beifu to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second girl and Yi Linglong had a big fight, messy, take advantage of a good time, I had the courage to say a few words to Yu Li, although it was not painful, but each other knew that they were worried about each other.
In the heart of the eldest grandmother, she wants to confess to Yu Qi and open her heart to many things, such as the illness of her parents outside the house. After all, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Yu Qi would worry about himself.
Yesterday to Shou Zhongju to the old lady to say goodbye, listen to the old lady for a long time, for a while, the old lady intentionally or unintentionally told her that it was not easy to be a housekeeper in the old days, and said a lot of interesting things, but also the old lady in charge of the experience of the past few years.
Rememberβ
When she came back for the first time, the old lady emphatically said: "There are many pampered people in the house, but there are few people who work hard." It's not that they don't care, everyone has their own share of the ability that others don't have, and if they can't take care of things, it's useless for me to push her. This kind of thing as a housekeeper has to be grasped when you are young, and you don't feel wronged when you are tired in the future, you can always handle it. It's someone else who looks at your face and eats! β
The second time she came back, the old lady emphatically said: "The second lady has been wronged for so many years, it is hard work, meticulous, don't look at me I always don't want to see her, I feel so pitiful, if Beifu didn't give birth to a kid, blame me for getting rid of her early." People don't say anything in their hearts, and I know that some people are not convinced. If you don't accept it, you have to manage it, but if you can't manage it, you expect me to give people a bunch of big and small things like a sesame seed, and you say that I will toss you. Fortunately, your eldest girl from Dongfu stayed behind to help and didn't let her carry it alone. You have to have a degree of help, who wants to be a cow for you all your life? β
When she came back third, the old lady emphatically said: "You are a shrewd person, I didn't see it much before, and the more this year, the more I think you can stop it." You Miss Qi has a temperament with you all the way, I think she can also control it. Having said that, Miss Qi is the daughter of the mansion, no more than your identity, you are the grandmother of the East Mansion. I have the heart to let you go through the experience, but I don't have a chance to talk to you, talk to your mother-in-law! Anyway, since you came in the house, there have been accidents one after another, I thought to myself, it's a panic, it's better to let you study with the second wife and the eldest girl as soon as possible. First, let someone in Dongfu make a decision earlier, and second, your second wife in Beifu will be busy with the second girl's marriage to Tongfu. You go to help, just right. β
When I came to see the old lady later, it was the old lady who said that the trivial things she was in charge of when she was young were passed on.
It was raining heavily on this day, and after listening to the old lady's words, I thought I would come over to sit with Miss Qi, tell her what the old lady meant, and ask her to help the staff officer. Standing at the door of Jinghua Xie Yuan but didn't go in, I was afraid that it would be abrupt, and besides, the old lady pointed to go with the second wife and the eldest girl, isn't this a jealousy of Miss Qi?
This is the reason why he stood at the door of Jinghua Xie that day and didn't go in.
I saw my parents come back, and I wanted to go to Beifu to find Cao's, but Beeswax stopped me, because I felt that Beeswax was reasonable, so I temporarily retreated and didn't mention it when I returned to the park.
After that, he was idle for a few days, and he was shut up in the house every day, not to see anyone. The old lady sent someone to invite, and the big lady always said that she was not happy, and she was afraid that she would be sick after the autumn!
Actually, the eldest grandmother didn't lie, since she came back that day, her head hurt badly, and the Qin family and the eldest girl Zhuang Hu came to see it a few times, which made people grab a lot of medicines, and eating it had no effect at all.
The Qin clan was a little panicked, thinking that he wouldn't have any incurable disease like Xifu Yu'er, right? I'm worried. Zhuang Hu said: "I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be happy!" Afterwards, I quietly looked for a doctor to check the pulse, but there was no happy event, Qin's family was disappointed, and took the opportunity to scold Uncle Zhuang Xuan, saying that he was not at home all day, and he didn't look at his wife like a flower, and he went out to eat and gamble every day.
Seeing that the wife in the second room blamed the uncle, he was upset for the uncle, saying, "The wife has wronged the uncle." Since the uncle got married, he has gone less. During this time, grandma is always not at home, and the uncle has the heart to stay, there is no shadow in his eyes, he can't see or touch it, right? β
When I asked, I found out that my father outside the grandmother's house was sick. Originally, the eldest grandmother went to the private pharmacy in Fuzhong to get the medicine, and the eldest girl knew about it.
Now the second room also said: "If you say that the uncle goes out to play, and the heart is confiscated, I am really wronged for the uncle." There is silver inside and outside here, and the uncle has to earn it! Otherwise, where will grandma get the money when she goes out once or twice? He also said that he would give Miss Qi a box of fine pearls! Reach out to the house to get it, the uncle can't do it, he has to earn it by himself. β
After hearing this, Qin was very angry, and he couldn't refute every word.
The eldest girl Zhuang Hu is like a mirror in her heart, her eldest brother, since she was a child, she has never seen anything serious, how can she go out to make money because of her grandmother's affairs? This time, the second room stuffed the words on the eldest grandmother, which shows jealousy and hatred. Zhuang Hu didn't help explain, and watched the Qin family wronged the eldest grandmother.
Later, the mother-in-law counted the grandmother in front of everyone in the family and said, "Whatever you want, we have nothing that we don't give." Heng Zhi is the big grandmother in the house, isn't it? Don't you take some silver and go back to turn around? It's not so domineering and unreasonable in my East Mansion. I hate that you don't persuade the uncle, and you still instigate Ren Xing, see how you can manage it in the future. β
The eldest grandmother was aggrieved and listened with her head hooked.
On this day, the old lady heard that the Qin family blamed the eldest grandmother, so Baba called someone to invite her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while. At the end, the old lady told the Qin family: "I have the heart to support the eldest daughter-in-law, I originally wanted to ask you what you mean first, but this matter is a matter of hard work, ask you, how can you be embarrassed to face it, lest you feel that you are an idler, waiting for food and clothing, so shameless." Over the years, I know that you have relied on Beifu, and you are living well, but you are not very comfortable. This is not good, I deliberately elevate your daughter-in-law and let her hold up the sky. What do you think? β
Qin was afraid that the eldest grandmother would not be able to do enough and be ashamed of the trust of the old lady, so he said: "This child has only just come in, and he is so young. The major affairs in the house have always been the second wife and the eldest girl's labor, and they really handed it over to her, afraid that they would not be able to cope with it, but the old lady would be disappointed and worried. β
The old lady said: "I'm still quite healthy, and I can get things done if I bother to dial a little." If one is freed from your life, who will have the power? Pampered for so many years, don't talk about you, I'm used to it, this is one of them; Second, let you free up manpower in the four mansions, so that what do the people of the Northern Mansion think of me? I think about it, people, be prepared for danger in times of peace, you have to plan in advance, seize the time, and cultivate a top thing. I've been watching quietly for so long, and I think she's a good person. β
Qin Shi said again: "This is also what I'm worried about, it has always been the second wife's business, and suddenly called the eldest daughter-in-law to go, that's not ......"
The old lady said, "Naturally, I said it." I'm the bad guy! For your sake! Still dissatisfied? I just think that it is not appropriate to vacate people from the wife's generation to assist Beifu, so I choose people from the juniors, who are there in the other mansions except for you Dongfu? You say one out, and I'll keep him busy. If I had been contemplating a main house in those years, I would have ordered it a long time ago, but it has been delayed to this day. What about this child, he has suffered hardships, he is naturally not afraid of hardship, and the best place to look at is what you don't have. β
After seeing the Qin family, the old lady called the Cao family and the eldest girl again. Both of them listened and said that they would listen to the old lady's instructions.
After going back, Cao and the eldest girl chatted privately for a while, and chose a good time, and the two of them brought some supplements to the garden to see the eldest grandmother.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my grandmother lying on the bed with a bone disease, and she held on to get up to say goodbye. Cao Shi went up first and held it down,
First presented the gift he brought, and said, "After the autumn, the body is weak, and you have to make up for it." This is the Changbai Mountain ginseng that was sent to us outside, it is rare to get such a big tree, I don't like to eat it, so I give it all to you. Don't accept it, wait until you get well, so that you can take my hands with your eldest girl. β
When the eldest grandmother saw Cao's face full of kindness and said this, she thought it was sincere, and reluctantly let the beeswax accept it.
In this meeting, the Cao family and the eldest girl only focused on the fact that the old lady had the intention to cultivate the eldest grandmother, both bright and dark, and said it transparently. Ask grandma if she knows?
The eldest grandmother said, "I am young and I can't understand many things. The old lady told me, but I felt that I was not capable enough to do it. β
Cao said: "What are you afraid of, in the future, I will be with your eldest girl, you just have to choose to do it lightly." Those who work hard will still be called to those outside. After a few years of training, it can also be successful. As for me, it's time to retire and enjoy a few years. However, it is difficult to be an errand in the house, you have to pay attention to justice in everything, if you have a little personal feelings, you will drown people with foaming stars. I haven't been drowned all these years, because I'm fair enough to give people a chance to speak. You are a new daughter-in-law, with a thin face and a soft heart, so you don't want to be taken advantage of, I will advise you, when you are well, first find something to establish prestige, and let the big guy know that your grandmother is extremely powerful. Is this the truth of the so-called three fires for new officials to take office, or did the old lady tell me back then, I wonder if the old lady mentioned you? β
The grandmother shook her head and didn't answer.
Cao's words mean a lot, and it's not appropriate to say anything casually. The eldest grandmother chose to be silent and covered it with a smile.
After this day.
When the girls heard that the grandmother was not in good health, they all rushed to visit, and they rushed to the garden. Yu Qi came to the Rolling Garden on the second day after Cao's visit, and also came to care for the eldest grandmother.
When they entered the rolling garden, the eldest grandmother gave Yu Qi a salute tiredly, but Lu Qi didn't dare to bear it, and the two replied to each other a few times.
Later, sit down on the kang and serve tea and snacks with beeswax and ice pears.
Beeswax knew that the grandmother was bitter, so when pouring the tea, she said: "Our grandmother always has to go out of the house to see the in-laws during this time, and she has been there a few times, because of the wind and sand, she has contracted the wind and cold, and the wife has asked people to bring a lot of medicine, but it is not good." Yesterday, the second wife brought ginseng, but our grandmother didn't want it, but she couldn't stand the second wife's mouth. β
Yu Qi was surprised: "Good medicine for shallow diseases, it's good to be fast, the second wife has good things to give, so take it!" He also said, "The old man outside the house is not in good health, why didn't my sister-in-law tell me, I will go and see it anyway." β
The eldest grandmother blamed the beeswax once, saying that she shouldn't talk too much, and said, "It's not good to bother the girl, besides, it's not appropriate to go outside." The girls like to stay in the house, it's dirty outside, and if they really go out, they have to be as sick as me, so they don't have to try. β
The meaning of the words is to warn Yu Qi that her identity is not suitable to go out, and the case of Zhuo Fu has not been eliminated, and she is still a guilty person!
How could you not hear it? I was very grateful.
This time, Yu Qi specially asked Mr. Yao to get some tonic medicines, and said: "My sister-in-law gave me a gift, I didn't have anything valuable, and now I have a handful of medicine, and I am very sorry." There are still exchanges of gifts in the world, and there is no medicine returned, I am the first time, I hope my sister-in-law will not be surprised. β
The eldest grandmother understood the meaning of her words, nothing more than that she gave the pearls. Even if it's not!
These days, the eldest grandmother has never been stable in her heart, and the box of pearls in Yu Qi has affected the parents outside the house, and now she can protect her parents, but how to protect her parents outside the house?
After listening to Yu Qi's words, the eldest grandmother's eyes turned red instantly.
Yu Qi thought that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, did I say something wrong?" β
The eldest grandmother shook her head and said, "No, I disturbed the girl." I don't want to go. β
Yu Qi smiled at this time: "Where is it! We are not allowed to say this among ourselves. It was raining heavily that day, and I heard that you were outside my mirror, Zisu came in to report to me, and I also said to please come in quickly. It was all my negligence, and Zisu also felt very guilty. β
At that moment, Zisu stood next to him and smiled coldly, but he didn't debunk Yu Li's lies.
That day, the eldest grandmother stood for a long time, and Yu Qi really had the heart to invite in, I was afraid that I would have been invited early, thinking about it carefully, I was afraid that Zisu didn't tell the truth, right?
The eldest grandmother glanced at Zisu, Zisu felt embarrassed, turned her head and went out, saying that she would help Bingli with some work.
Not long after, Yu Qi and Zisu left from the Rolling Garden.
Zisu asked Yu Qi: "Did grandma tell you anything?" β
Yu Qi wondered why Zisu asked like this, and said, "Sister-in-law didn't say anything!" I don't blame you, she did temporarily hide from the rain at the door that day. β
Zisu said: "I'm not talking about this. β
Yu Qi was puzzled.
Zisu thought for a while and said, "If you treat each other sincerely, you should tell each other the truth, even if you tell her that I didn't let her in, I won't have anything." Coincidentally, you said that, and she listened. The two of you really learned from Master Bojing of Xianyuan'an, and you talk and act amazingly similarly. He also said, "I'm outside, I heard that our eldest grandmother is going to help the second wife take care of the house, but I didn't tell you about such a big thing?" β
Yu Qi shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "How is it possible!" I heard that the old lady had this meaning before, but my sister-in-law didn't say it! If that's the case, I think it's a good thing. β
Zisu sighed: "It's a good thing or a bad thing, let's see!" I don't think you two are genuine about each other. If it were me, I would have told you about such an important matter. Obviously I don't ask, you don't know yet. β
Hearing this, Yu Qi's heart was shocked.
