088 Jealous Woman
Mrs. Qu, who was already waiting in the flower hall to see the ladies and ladies who came to the mansion as guests, heard that someone came to report that Ling Xiaorou was injured by Miss Gao, and she was anxious at that time, and after hearing that she was carried back to the courtyard by King Ning Yuan, she calmed down.
She also saw that He Louyuan had been running to the house for the past few days, and even stayed in the end, obviously wanting to accompany her aunt more, but in fact? Every time she always stares at the door, who is waiting for her eyes, is she really unable to do it?
Every time she talked about Ling Xiaorou, who could she hide from her eyes that lit up in an instant?
Although it is a pity for Qu Hongxiu, she also knows that this matter cannot be forced, and it is also her daughter who looks at her left and right, she is still happy to see her kiss and kiss, since it is just a fall, she naturally will not hinder He Lou from asking Xiao Rou'er to please her.
As for the young lady who has lived in the Qu family for too long...... Presumably with King Ning Yuan's 'embarrassing' evaluation, it's time to go home with interest!
Just thinking that if He Louyuan and Ling Xiaorou's relationship was completed, she was both an aunt and a stepmother, and when she should prepare how much dowry she should prepare, another maid came to report that the master had returned to the house and was running to Mrs. Lady's yard.
Mrs. Qu was a little stunned, since the last time Master Qu wanted to take a concubine, the two broke up unhappily, Master Qu has not returned to the house these days, which is obviously awkward with her.
She also sent someone to inquire, this time the old man was determined to accept an oiran, not at all the woman of a good family he said before, a scholarly family like the Qu family has to be a concubine and a woman from a pure white family, what is the matter with this Oiran coming back?
Mrs. Qu was also determined not to let Oiran enter the door, let alone ask for a thousand taels to redeem her body. During these days, it has cost a lot of money to decorate the shop and buy ingredients, if she really takes this thousand taels, and the account for next month has not been collected, will the people in the house be hungry?
But the old man is coming, and the lady who came to the door is also coming, which is not easy to do, although Dayanguo's restraint on women is not so harsh, and it is not a group of women talking, any man can break into it.
I could only tell the maid to invite the ladies to sit in the garden, and then say that she suddenly had something at home.
Not long after the maid went down, Master Qu rushed in with a body of wine and fat powder, "Jealous woman, do you want to let Lingxiu enter the door?" ”
Mrs. Qu held a tea cup in her hand and only looked at Master Qu quietly, without saying a word.
Once, everyone said that he was a young talent, chic and uninhibited, and she fell in love with his talent when she was young, and when she learned that the husband at home was him, the girl's heart was also full of longing.
But who would have thought that after passing through the door, only to know that the young talent is really uninhibited, most of the month is staying outside, and after getting married, new people are added to the backyard every year.
At the beginning, she also complained and hated, and used various means to send dishonest women out, but in the end, she couldn't make him look at herself more, and those women who were sent out by her couldn't provoke him to pity him at all.
Maybe in his heart, after a moment of freshness, those women can still be an excuse for him to welcome a new person.
Mrs. Qu's heart is dead, and her only hope is that her children will grow up and Chenghuan will be on her knees.
But her forbearance finally made him even worse, and the corners of Mrs. Qu's lips hooked up a mocking smile, "Isn't it all up to the master to let the newcomer enter the door?" If the master wants her to enter the door, then enter the door, why do you need to ask me? ”
Master Qu's face softened when he heard this, in fact, he was still a little afraid of this lady who is usually gentle and gentle, but when she was angry, she turned her face and didn't speak, who let the family have a good nephew? If he hadn't been entangled by Lingxiu this time, and he had the strength of wine, he might not have the courage to come to his wife to complain.
But since Mrs. said this, Master Qu instantly felt that his waist was stiff, and his face sank, "That is the case, you can take two thousand taels of silver tickets, and the master will arrange for an auspicious day to pick up Lingxiu to enter the door." ”
"Two thousand taels?" Mrs. Qu raised her voice, "The old man has moved his lips and lowered his mouth, and this is too light, not to mention two thousand taels, even two hundred taels, and now the house can't take it out." ”
Master Qu also knew that he was a lion and opened his mouth, but in addition to the 1,000 taels for Lingxiu, he also wanted to prepare a decent dowry for Lingxiu, and 1,000 taels was not much.
"Why don't you go to the treasury and take a look, but if there is anything that can be sold for two thousand taels, it's a big deal that the silver will be redeemed in the future when it is convenient."
Mrs. Qu sneered, "Over the years, the master has welcomed newcomers to the house one after another, and the master thinks that there is anything worth two thousand taels at home?" ”
Master Qu sighed, "When Mrs. married into the Qu family, the dowry was also rich, why don't you take some out first, and then pay you back for your husband in the future?" ”
Mrs. Qu fell into tears when she heard this, although she had long been dead to the master, she never thought that he would shamelessly start to calculate her dowry, or for the sake of such an Oiran, could it be that the feelings of half a lifetime, and the love of giving birth to children for him, are not as good as such a fox?
Seeing Mrs. Qu crying, Master Qu was upset, "It's not that I don't pay you back, you just take some silver out first, and when the account in the shop is collected in the future, you can slowly make it back?" ”
Mrs. Qu sneered with tears: "Master really dare to think, today for a flower oiran you have to marry back for you for the dowry, he will watch a singing song again in the future, and then let me use the dowry to marry you back, you don't want to think about it, how much can the account in the shop be collected every month, and how much can be left every month when you go to the whole house for food?" When will I be able to pay back my two thousand taels? ”
Master Qu also knew that he was wrong, but he refused to admit it, and said with a stiff neck: "I have also heard people say in the past few days that you will open three more shops in the city, and that shop is not silver?" If the silver is not enough, isn't there still a shop to pawn? ”
Mrs. Qu was so angry that she couldn't wait to go up and slap him twice, gritted her teeth and said, "Shop? Did you find out who opened the shop? Could it be that for the sake of such a woman, you have to plan even the shop of a righteous woman? ”
Master Qu was reluctant, "What kind of woman?" Although Lingxiu is from a dusty background, she is weak and knowledgeable, and she is a hundred times stronger than you as a jealous woman, don't talk nonsense. ”
Mrs. Qu sneered, "Weak temperament? Knowledgeable? Since she is better than me everywhere, why did the master let people go to my mother's house to propose marriage? You should have married an Oiran with a weak personality and a well-informed person to come back and be your leading lady, and no one would stop you from taking a concubine. ”
Even if Master Qu is muddy, he knows that it is impossible to marry an Oiran as a wife, and he is still very satisfied with his wife, who takes care of housework every day, and has to worry about the shop outside.
But if you don't be tough today, I'm afraid that Lingxiu won't be able to enter the door, and finally Master Qu glared at him, "Don't use this to provoke me, if you make the old man angry, what if you divorce you, a jealous woman?" Let's see how you stop Lingxiu from entering the door. ”
Unexpectedly, after all these years of hard work, in the end, in exchange for the master's harsh words, Mrs. Qu couldn't help crying, and the old man Qu was bored when he heard it, and finally simply threw up his sleeves and left.
Since the affairs in the house and the shop are now handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law to take care of, he can't ask for silver taels from his wife, so he simply goes directly to the eldest daughter-in-law to ask for it, he is a father-in-law, does the eldest daughter-in-law dare not give some silver?
Of course, there was no reason for the father-in-law to go to see his daughter-in-law, so Master Qu came to the hall and asked people to call the eldest daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Qu Shao is resting on the beauty couch, her face is full of smiles, since this trip to Jicheng with the eldest prince, the eldest prince did not bring people to wait, almost every night to sleep in her room, after a month of hard work, she finally got her wish.
I just invited Lang Zhong to take a look, it has been more than a month pregnant, and I just waited to go to my mother to say goodbye to my mother, this is the first child of the Qu family, presumably Mrs. will be happy.
Just thinking about it, a maid came in and said that the master had asked the young lady to come over.
Mrs. Qu Shao was a little unsure, this father-in-law should generally not let her son tell her about something, even if she was dissatisfied with her, she didn't directly call her to reprimand, but her father-in-law couldn't help but summon her.
Hurriedly got up and tidied up his hair, changed his clothes again, and was accompanied by the maids to the front hall to see his father-in-law.
Master Qu walked around the hall, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, for a while afraid that his daughter-in-law would not come to see him, and for a while he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would see Mrs. directly, and finally heard the next person report that the young lady had arrived, and Master Qu was so excited that he almost greeted him.
Fortunately, he still remembered that he was a father-in-law, so he hurriedly stopped his steps and sat back on the Taishi chair, "Let the young lady come in!" ”
The young lady couldn't hear whether her father-in-law's mood was good or bad, and she was afraid that she would make him unhappy, so she didn't dare to raise her head and come in, so she asked Master Qu to say goodbye, but Master Qu didn't let her sit.
"Young lady, I've been working hard to manage the accounts recently."
As soon as she heard her father-in-law mention the account word, the young lady's face with her head hanging down flashed, and she probably understood what her father-in-law meant by calling her.
A few days ago, I heard that my father-in-law was unhappy with my mother-in-law because of the matter of taking a concubine, so I guess it was my mother-in-law who couldn't ask for the money, so she hit her with the idea? This father-in-law is really a fool, and his mother-in-law is also strange and pitiful.
At the same time, I can't help but think: My father-in-law, who was also famous back then, is so old and confused, what about her father-in-law? Will you be as confused as your father-in-law when you get older? Judging from what Qu Hongan has done so far, there is really this possibility.
Mrs. Qu Shao's glow suddenly dimmed because she was pregnant, she didn't want to live like her mother-in-law's life, but after a woman got married, she had to take her husband as the sky, and the education she had received since she was a child was the same, she didn't know how to oppose her husband's concubine, and she didn't know if she would be named a jealous woman if she did so.
She just wants to be a good wife, but why is it so difficult? If it weren't for Qu Hongan's love for those women in the backyard, and his respect for herself, she would have been overwhelmed by her jealousy.
