Chapter 40: Trouble
When the appropriate word was spoken, Shang Yuding smiled.
There was a bit of disgust and unwillingness in the smile.
"It's not my son, I'm planning a ghost for him, besides, when did my father treat me as the eldest son of the fifth room, don't you look up to the second child and Wulang every day? I'm going to join in the fun. ”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
And when he went out, he deliberately slammed the door to express his dissatisfaction.
Frightened, his wife Guo, who was originally standing behind him, trembled, and looked at his mother-in-law and the fifth old lady uneasily.
His eyes were full of pleas for help.
Who knows, the fifth old lady waved her hand impatiently, and she didn't look down on this eldest daughter-in-law at all.
Guo's face, which was like ashes, could only follow her husband out of the main house of the Yingjuan Courtyard.
It didn't take long for the crackling sound and Guo's wails and cries for help.
But the people in the entire Yingjuan Courtyard seemed to be used to it, and they were very indifferent to this voice.
After all, she has no children and only three daughters, but she has committed a big "taboo".
It would be nice to leave her alive and follow her to eat and drink spicy food in the Guogong Mansion.
Therefore, it doesn't seem to matter if you are occasionally beaten and scolded by your husband a few times.
However, the fifth old lady was sad at the moment, and said to Mother Li, who had been serving her for many years.
"When this matter is over, go to Mrs. Wei and ask for thirty taels of silver, and give five taels to Qi Er's family, so that you can be buried."
"Yes, the old slave knows."
As for the remaining twenty-five taels, it is naturally going to go into the private treasury of the fifth old lady.
After all, the whole family is waiting for expenses, should I say it or not, isn't the daughter-in-law of the Gorou family also pregnant?
Therefore, a little more money can also give some benefits to these great-grandchildren who are about to be born.
Looking up at the inside of this house, although there is no shortage of doctors and fasting, it is still far from being compared with the main courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, Yunjin Courtyard.
There is both dissatisfaction and unwillingness in my heart.
So looking forward to the husband, son and grandson who went to make trouble, they can earn some more things for Wufang and come back.
Here, the ugliness in the five rooms is only the tip of the iceberg is revealed.
On the other side, the three grandchildren of the fifth room, together with their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, all took a number of subordinates, as well as the corpse of Qi Er's steward, and went to Dongyuan with a menacing attitude.
If that posture is not to provoke trouble, no one will believe it.
A group of people in the dark sky, wherever they go, insects, fish, birds and beasts must be avoided.
Bypassing a few moon gates and paths, it took about a quarter of an hour to stand at the gate of the East Garden.
Although the fifth old lady is old, he is not as "inconvenient" as the third old lady.
The loud voice shouted inside.
"What about Rokuro's daughter-in-law? Get her out! Her husband has been beaten to death, and she is still sleeping peacefully in it? I'm not afraid that God won't be able to see her to death! It's also good to have a good reputation as the first Kefuke wife in this East Garden! ”
His words are always so ugly.
Between the words, not only did Shang Ji and Du Jingyi and his wife scold.
Even the sister-in-law Liu in the East Garden and the Xue Niang who was still waiting for the word boudoir were also scolded together.
It's not the first time that he's been so ruthless.
Therefore, the two little guys guarding at the gate of Dongyuan, although they didn't have much expression on their faces, they had more anger in their eyes.
Soon, Uncle He, who was in charge of affairs, brought out more than ten small people who worked in Dongyuan.
There was a smile on his face, but he had already had jealousy and hostility in his heart.
And the little guys who followed him were all serious.
All of them have some fists and feet on their bodies, and of course they are not afraid of the soft-footed crabs brought by Wufang.
As soon as Steward He came forward, several people from the fifth room flinched slightly.
Since Mrs. Wei took charge of the backyard, Steward He has retired from the previous chief steward who led the whole family.
But this doesn't mean that his former prestige has also disappeared.
Although they rarely have contact with the people and things here in Dongyuan on weekdays, they are still a little stunned when they see this former chief manager.
The fifth old lady has never put people in his eyes, so naturally he can't see the fear of Steward He from the people behind him.
So he rolled his eyes and said.
"Yo, what's the deal with sending a watchdog? What Lao Tzu wants to see is Liulang's daughter-in-law, it is Du's! ”
Steward He heard this, and smiled even brighter.
In a hurry, he said in a roundabout way.
"What's going on? Make the fifth old lady so angry? Early in the morning, with such a big fire? My young lady hasn't gotten up yet, if she is disturbed to her dreams, when the general comes back, she will look for us who are subordinates, and ask the fifth old lady to raise his noble hand and leave a way for us to be servants. ”
Steward He's words sounded like he was begging the fifth old lady to raise his noble hand, but in fact, he was beating the crowd of people who followed.
They used to make trouble, but it was more or less fine.
After all, what Mrs. Wei's mind is, the people in the courtyard can also see it.
But now it's different.
The general is back, and he is still powerful and powerful.
If they really seek trouble, I am afraid that the first ones to suffer will be their subordinates who come with them.
For a while, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The blind legs were weak, and they didn't dare to make any more trouble.
Shang Yu'an and Shang Goro's father and son glanced at each other, and they were a little jealous.
They came to make trouble today, but they just wanted something, such as Shanggoro's errand.
But what Steward He said is also right, if it really provokes Shang Ji and causes other troubles, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?
So, Shang Wulang stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of his grandfather's fifth old lady and said with relief.
"Grandfather is angry, we are just looking for my younger brothers and sisters to ask about something, and we don't have to make people think that we are coming to the door to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, right?"
The fifth old lady glanced back at his grandson, and after seeing him shaking his head slightly, the anger in his body subsided a lot.
So he snorted coldly and said.
"What time is this, and Rokuro's daughter-in-law still hasn't gotten up? Tell someone to call her, we'll wait! I don't see anyone today, I don't plan to leave, if she is not afraid of carrying a mean elder on her back and persecuting the reputation of her subordinates, she will blindly hide from death. ”
He's always been a scoundrel, and the older he gets, the more so.
Steward He has also been in charge of the family with Mrs. Gu for many years, so he naturally knows what the fifth old lady is.
So, after thinking about it, I was about to reply, when I saw someone coming from behind.
Mama Dou walked over with a serious face, bowed briefly to the fifth old lady, and then said.
"The young lady heard that someone was coming to the fifth room, so she specially asked the slave maid to invite you to wait in the flower hall, and the young lady will go to talk to you in person after a while."
