022. Scapegoat

This year's spring rain in Zhen'an County is particularly annoying, dripping and intermittent for half a month.

The willows by the river around the city are still clinging, swaying in the misty smoke and rain.

The young general was dressed in armor, and he couldn't see the injuries of the previous days, but his eyes glanced at the girl a few times, and there seemed to be no scar on the exposed wrist, which showed that the burns were probably good.

When Chu Xujun returned to Chu's house, the family was already in chaos.

It was not because she had not returned all night for many days, but that the old lady Chu Dong was crying to her second uncle Chu Qiu in the middle hall, and Uncle Dong was suddenly arrested and imprisoned, which must have been wronged, so let the second uncle try his best to rescue him.

The old lady was full of strength, and the second uncle suddenly felt that his chest was "clattering".

Chu Qiu was very helpless: "Mother, I have sent people to the state government to listen in many ways, but the people over there are not at all breathless, and they only say that they are not allowed to see or ask from the above, even if they let people go in and deliver a meal." The child asked three times a day, but he was no longer allowed to get close. But the son refused to say how much money he had, and then he refused to take any more. It's been filled in a few hundred taels back and forth, and there is really no other way. ”

When the little widow next to her, Lu Qinqin, heard it, she filled in a few hundred taels, and she didn't feel distressed: "Eldest sister, I tried my best to come to Qiu'er." This eldest brother Dong has always behaved in a good way, and he has no big mistakes, maybe he was just implicated by some nobleman, and he may be released after a few days. ”

The second uncle's mother, Cheng Rong, heard the little widow's "Qiu'er" and was uncomfortable, thinking that Uncle Dong was still well-behaved, but there were still unruly people in the world? But before Jungu's anger, the three of them had to unite the front: "Yes, Jungu, don't worry. The official didn't believe anything, and now it's not peaceful outside, so I think there may be some rumors, and I misjudged it for a while. The master can't ask, and no one else can ask if he wants to come. ”

The old lady scolded angrily: "Fart! You guys one by one, just thinking that I hurt him on weekdays, and I wish he didn't come back. Where will you really save people? ”

Aunt Dong was already crying heartbreakingly on the side, and when she heard this, she couldn't bear it: "What the eldest sister said is right. On weekdays, Da Lang eats a lot, and the second sister-in-law doesn't have a good face, and Ji Di has never looked at your brother. Now that he is in the prison of Narauszi, is he not doing what you want? ”

Aunt Dong pounced on the old lady, snotty and annoying.

The old lady avoided her without moving, and when she turned her head, she saw the eldest daughter-in-law Hua Liancheng sitting down, drinking beige fragrant soy milk with an expressionless face, and hurriedly transferred the spark: "I said the old man, what do you mean by being silent?" That dead girl went out for a trip, and she was more than her uncle who was not at home, what kind of system did this become, spread it, where did the old face of our Chu family go? ”

Uncle Dong was locked up for a few days, and the family had a few days of trouble, and Hua Liancheng was sleepy watching the play.

Spit and complain, Hua Liancheng raised his body slightly, thinking about standing up to deal with a few words, he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, rushed in, and rushed straight to the old lady's knee: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with uncle?" Why did you just wake up and hear that something had happened to him? ”

It is the boss of the Chu family who has been lying on the hospital bed and has not landed for a long time, Chu Xia.

The room obviously didn't come back to their senses, and the battlefield, which had always only been a few of them, suddenly joined an unfamiliar voice.

Chu Qiu reacted the fastest: "Big brother, big brother, are you awake?" Can you all get up and come out? ”

Dressed in gray dark clothes, the crown of his head was not carefully worn, and the bearded Chu Xia pulled open the hair in front of him and carefully identified it: "Second brother, why didn't you go out to work, this point is actually at home?" ”

The old lady who had just been hugged on her thigh came back to her senses under the reminder of her old girlfriend.

This is her eldest son who was conceived in October, Chu Xia.

In fact, later the old lady Chu Dong also knew that she had indeed gone too far with her eldest son, but Chu Xia had always been kind and gentle, and she never complained.

The old lady wanted to maintain her prestige and dignity too much in the Chu family, and it was impossible for her to bow down to her own son and be in a noble head.

The relationship between the mother and son is just like that, Chu Xia is sick and can't speak, and the old lady has no ladder to go down.

After the old girlfriend came, she often mentioned to her that her relationship with her eldest son was not good, she was sick after giving birth at that time, and she didn't want to see her child at all, let alone get close to him, hug him, and coax him.

When I grew up, I learned that many women had such a disease, but the world still didn't know it, so I felt that this mother was cruel and even disliked her own swaddling baby.

Later, after she got better, she wanted to get close to her eldest son again, but the eldest son was outside and did not come back all the year round, and even with her apprentices and grandchildren, she did not get along with her eldest mother, and her old friend Zhang's heart was very regretful.

The old lady thought to herself, it turned out to be such a reason, and now that her eldest son is by her side, and she is a good character, then she still has a chance.

And now that the eldest son has woken up from illness, he is also standing on his own side, and he is as anxious about his eldest uncle's affairs as he is, and the old lady feels in her heart that she did not find out that the eldest son is indeed more intimate than the utilitarian younger son.

The old lady hugged her eldest son's head: "Xia'er, are you awake?" My hard-working son, my hard-working brother......"

While crying, his eyes were still looking at Chu Qiu, who was in charge.

Mother and brother joined forces to pressure, what pressure Chu Qiu had.

Hua Liancheng drank soy milk at the right temperature, and it was time for her husband to come out, otherwise Aunt Jun didn't know how long she would point the finger at Mi Mi.

It's just that the matter of the big mansion in the west of the city has been going on for so long, and it should come to an end, so she sent a letter to urge it.

Just thinking about it, Ximei at the door helped her lost daughter back.

The clothes are good, the color is more gorgeous than when you go out, and the pearls on your head are more translucent than when you go out, but the daughter's complexion is indescribably dull.

What's going on?

Chu Xujun felt tired, and was drenched in a lingering drizzle, so he didn't look at it much and thought about it, but only saluted outside the house: "It's back." Retirement. ”

Where was the second uncle and mother in the house willing to let her husband suffer the pressure of the aunt, and hurriedly called out to her: "Chu Xujun, you turned against you?" If you don't return for a few nights, come back or this kind of immortal virtue? I didn't see that the elders were there, but there were still people in their eyes? ”

Only then did Chu Xujun raise his eyes and look at his mother, who gestured in the direction of Chu Xia.

It's terrible, the original father Chu Xia got up, and he was still holding the leg of the eldest mother and the old lady?

What's the situation? What's going on at home? Could it be that she didn't return overnight, and even her father and mother at home had to be punished?

Not really......

Chu Xia hurriedly stood up and smiled at his flower-like daughter: "Mi, are you back?" Yo, it's still raining, get inside, don't catch a cold. ”

Ah Zhu hurriedly handed over the soy milk at the right temperature: "Son-in-law, use a bowl quickly." ”

The skills of the girls in their yard grinding soy milk are a little better.

The old lady didn't have time to reprimand her granddaughter, and Chu Xujun hadn't prepared the words to accuse.

Suddenly, I heard Uncle Dong's happy voice: "Xiao Xia's timing is just right, eldest sister, Xiao Xia has the power of shading, if he goes in, no matter what is big, he can't lose his head, replace your younger brother, these two people are fine, isn't it just right?" ”

Chu Xujun thought to herself, she still underestimated the lower limit of shameless people, where would they have a lower limit?
