Chapter 163: Throw up your sleeves and leave
Today, the old military division led a large group of people to the third room of the Zhou family before noon, all the way was mighty, and the posture exceeded the pomp and circumstance of every visit he had in the past, and his face was full of solemnity, as if he was a little angry.
This makes people have to suspect that he is looking for three rooms to go to the bad luck this time.
The three-room mansion of the Zhou family is located in the block where the Zhou family lives, and the two streets before and after are inhabited by the Zhou family or close relatives. The old military division went to the third room with such a great momentum, and the neighbors around him couldn't help but talk about it when they saw this.
One of them is the neighbor of the Zhou family's three rooms, and it is also a branch of the Zhou family, and it is a small branch of the big house of the three rooms, the original owner of the family is the younger brother of the old lady of the three rooms, after the old lady of the three rooms retreated to the rear to recuperate, he also went to the northwest frontier as the brother of the three houses, but later he was separated. According to the ranking of the clan, his room is the fourteenth room of the Zhou family. The fourteenth grandfather of the family died on the battlefield before he was thirty, leaving a young widow with a pair of children to live a difficult life.
There are many widows and children like this in the Zhou family, and the families of the deceased children in the public middle school will give out monthly assistance in terms of money, food and materials, and the border army will also issue pensions, and the government will also have certain expressions every New Year's Day, and the lives of the bereaved families of the fallen soldiers can usually be maintained. It's just that the fourteenth old lady Lu hopes that her children can live a more prosperous life, so she began to befriend the old lady Ma early, hoping to get more benefits from her. For decades, she has also been one of Mrs. Ma's regular followers.
Nowadays, although the children of the fourteenth old lady are not high-ranking officials and are very rich, they are also safe and stable, their children and grandchildren all have official positions in the army, and their daughters are also married comfortably and live a rich life, the fourteenth old lady has nothing to worry about, and the number of times she stammers in front of Mrs. Ma is much less. However, she still goes over to chat with this concubine every month to maintain the friendship between the two parties. Although the third room is not as beautiful as before, it is much stronger than the fourteenth room, and a little benefit leaked from the fingers is enough to make the children and grandchildren of the fourteenth old lady develop more smoothly in the army.
The fourteenth old lady lived on the edge of the ancestral house of the third room, and the house was originally separated from the third room, and she was a little worried when she learned that the old military master came to the door aggressively. She has a high seniority, and she came from a three-room family, and she has a deep understanding of the contradictions between the old military master and Mrs. Ma in her early years. However, for the sake of her own interests, she was on the side of Mrs. Ma almost every time.
Her own husband died on the battlefield at a young age, and Mrs. Ma was unwilling to be a widow at a young age, so she urged her husband to stay in the rear to recuperate, what's wrong? If she had this ability back then, persuading her husband to stay, even if it was just to be a civil servant, or patrolling the city to maintain law and order, it would be better than losing her life at a young age. She will not suffer for most of her life alone, and now that she is so old, she still has to continue to curry favor with her concubine in a low voice for the sake of her children and grandchildren.
Thinking like this, the fourteenth old lady felt that this time the old military master was for a similar problem, and he used the lesson of the fifth master to knock the old lady Ma behind him. She thought that this time was another great opportunity for her to please the old woman, so she quickly cleaned up, took a maid, pretended to be concerned, and went to the door of the third room of the Zhou family.
No one knows what happened inside the third room of the Zhou family next. More than half an hour later, the fourteenth old lady walked out of the gate of the three-room ancestral house with a blue face, and took the maid's hand, and couldn't help but turn around and take a sip, then threw her sleeves and left.
Who doesn't feel surprised by the neighbors who saw this scene? When did even the fourteenth old lady, who had always been attached to the third room, dare to spit on the door of the third room? What caused the fourteenth old lady, who had always been good-tempered, to blacken her face?
The old military division still did not come out of the three-room mansion of the Zhou family, but some people in the neighborhood had already gone to the fourteenth room to find out the news, especially the female relatives of the clan who had close contacts with the fourteenth old lady, and after a while, even her niece and daughter-in-law of her mother's family also rushed to hear the news.
The fourteenth old lady was obviously angry, and she didn't have the slightest intention of hiding it for the old woman. By the time the old military master left the third room with an angry expression, rumors about his intentions had already spread throughout the two streets before and after the Zhou family's residence.
Zhou Ma, who was already living in the three-room room, naturally got the news early, but he thought it was an unexpected surprise. Taking advantage of the fact that her stepmother-in-law still couldn't spare time to question herself, she quickly made an excuse and ran out of the back door with her henchman maid and took refuge with her sister.
So Begonia listened to the conversation between her grandmother Ma and her eldest sister Zhou Ma again under the cover of embroidery in the main landlord's house.
Zhou Ma didn't dare to face the scene where the old military division angrily sprayed her husband and step-mother-in-law, she hid in the distance and eavesdropped for a while, but she couldn't really hear it, and then sent her henchmen and maids to get close to eavesdrop, and was later driven back by her husband's henchmen. Although she couldn't eavesdrop completely, she knew very well that this was the news that her step-mother-in-law and her husband wanted to build a private glass workshop, and the old military division would know about it, and the old military teacher would come to their stepmother and son angrily to find their stepmother's and son's bad luck.
However, Zhou Ma couldn't help but feel aggrieved for her husband, thinking that Zhou Shigong, the fifth master, was only forced by his stepmother, Mrs. Ma, to agree to this unreasonable request, and also tried to dissuade Mrs. Ma, but it was unsuccessful. He didn't stop people because of filial piety, why did it become his fault? The old military division was too unfair to him. Does the old military advisor still expect Zhou Shigong to disobey his mother's orders? When the time comes, rumors will spread, and the old military division will still be able to defend the wronged Zhou Shigong? !
Zhou Ma first gloated, and then began to fight for her husband. Ma listened for a long time and found that the eldest sister really didn't notice the truth, so she had to interrupt her: "The news didn't leak from the Chang'an glass workshop, it was told to the old military division by Jiabaoshun." Didn't you tell Ma Li and his son to do this? Presumably it was Baoshun who helped them. Early this morning, Baoshun went to Bezhuang. ”
Zhou Ma suddenly choked: "What? reacted immediately, and couldn't care about crying out for her husband anymore, and began to worry about herself, "The master won't find out the truth, right?" If he blames it on his forehead......"
Ma Shi said: "Eh, it is to tell you the truth, so that you know in your heart, don't talk nonsense at home." Now the old military division has pushed this matter to the Chang'an glass workshop, and the matter of building a workshop in Beizhuang was also revealed by your mother-in-law's henchmen. If her henchman refuses to admit it, it will be treated as if he has leaked his mouth but has the cheekiness to shirk responsibility. In short, you said that you only mentioned the transfer of ownership to another village, but you didn't allow it, and you also clamored to find your eldest brother and sister-in-law to go to the Zhou family to make trouble. In this way, even if the old military advisor is shrewd and wise, it has nothing to do with you. If it's not the eldest sister, you leaked the secret, and the brother-in-law can't blame you. If you want to complain, you can only complain that they are not secretive and use people improperly, so they will leak the rumors! ”
Zhou Mashi suddenly calmed down: "This statement is good, just say it when you go back!" Soon I thought that she went to her sister's house at noon today, and it can be said that after hearing the old military teacher's angry reprimand, she rushed to inquire about her sister's tone to see how much the Hai family had learned about this matter.
As for whether Zhou Shigong would suspect that he had leaked the news because his brother-in-law Haixi Cliff had a close relationship with the glasssmith in the Chang'an glass workshop, Zhou Ma couldn't care about it. Anyway, the Zhou family's three rooms are at a loss, and Zhou Shigong can still come to the door to blame the Hai family?
Zhou Mashi couldn't help but snicker: "In the final analysis, it was the A family who forcibly wanted to take the amount of marriage, which alarmed my sister's family, and leaked the news to the old military division, it was all the fault of the A family, what does it have to do with it?!" ”
