Chapter 13: The House Fight Begins
The fourth sister in Tao Jiang's mouth is the second daughter-in-law-Tao Luo.
It is also the black heart lotus in the book that climbed into the mandarin duck tent of Gu Chonglou with its original body on its back.
Tao Luo stood behind the Gu family according to her seniority, she was already very dissatisfied with Tao Jiang's cousin, and when she heard the maid inform her cousin to go back and kneel directly into the Gu family ancestral hall, she was so angry that she smashed a celadon snail bead bottle in her hand!
But my grandfather also asked everyone to dress up and go out to greet Tao Jiang......
Why?
Why did Tao Jiang participate in the dispute between the general merchants?
Obviously, she and she are both granddaughters, why can Tao Jiang get her grandfather's blue eyes?
She refused to come out to greet her in the room, but her mother was soft and hard, saying that she would ruin Tao Jiang's reputation in the future, so she reluctantly walked out of the door with a white face.
She was enough to give her Tao Jiang face, she didn't know what to do, licked her face and asked her why she was unhappy?
Tauro finally found an opportunity to vent, and regardless of her mother's tight tugging on her sleeve, she took a step forward and said:
"Tao Jiang, what are you arrogant? Today is just your luck to win my cousin, otherwise it would be up to you to give our Gu family shoes is not worthy! ”
Tao Jiang's eyes were rolling, his face was like a windless pool, but he couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart--
O my ignorant and stupid fourth sister! If you're really sleepy, you will send me a pillow!
In just a few words, you have managed to poke all the soft underbelly of your grandfather!
Keep saying "We take care of the family", where will you put this Taofu sign on your head!
"I don't deserve to lift my shoes"? Are you scolding me, or is it your grandfather Tao Yongjin who is standing in front of you?
You must know that his grandfather was born as a seller in the streets, which is the most inferior point in his life, but the Gu family always uses this as a talking point behind his back, and he will bring out Tao Yongjin's embarrassment before his hair and tell others at every turn.
Your grandfather made irresponsible remarks about my Tao family behind my back, and now you say to my face that I am not worthy of carrying shoes for Gu Fu, and you hit your grandfather's face every word!
Sure enough, as soon as Tao Luo's words fell, she heard a crisp sound of "pop", and Tao Yongjin turned around and slapped her hard:
"Evil Barrier!"
"You guys? Have you forgotten your last name? If you think my Tao family's house is too small, you can pack up the bed and get out of here tonight! I don't have more Tao family, no more than you, no less than you! ”
Although Tao Yongjin treats his grandchildren seriously and solemnly on weekdays, he has never scolded his grandchildren so loudly outside, let alone beat people!
And Tauro is honored to be the first person to receive this "honor".
Tao Luo's brain was blank, and he only felt a hot pain in his cheeks, but he didn't know whether to open his mouth to argue for himself, or whether to turn his head and run back.
I just hope that there will be a big hole in front of me, and I will jump off for a hundred.
It was Gu Shi who reacted first, pulled Tao Luo behind him, and said to Tao Yongjin in a curtled manner:
"Father-in-law, that's not what Luo Er meant......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tao Yongjin:
"It's all you! Spoil her to the point of lawlessness! If you don't know how to teach your child, let her go to Yusheng Courtyard and let Wanqing raise it for you! ”
When Gu Shi heard this, his feet softened for a while, and he took two steps back, just facing Tao Jiang's smiling hibiscus face--
She did it on purpose!
Of course, Tao Jiang did it on purpose!
Maybe even the Gu family himself doesn't know how long and sharp the thorn of the Gu family, which is in his grandfather's throat!
The woman who was called "Wanqing" by Tao Yongjin was the daughter-in-law of the Tao family's third room - Xie Wanqing.
Xie Shi heard her father-in-law call her, so Yingying stepped forward and said to Gu Shi without humility or arrogance:
"If the second sister-in-law is not free, then I can send Luo Er to Yusheng Courtyard tomorrow, and I will teach her like Su'er and Ye'er."
Gu didn't want Xie to climb up when he saw the ladder, so he couldn't help but be angry, but he couldn't show his face, so he had to say with a smile:
"My father-in-law is just angry for a while, so why should my brother and sister take it seriously. What's more, my younger siblings have a pair of children to take care of, and I have to go to the long room from time to time to deliver soup to my sister-in-law, so I am really busy. Luo'er won't be troublesome, I will definitely discipline her well when I go back! ”
Seeing that Tao Yongjin no longer spoke, he could be regarded as acquiescing to Gu Xiaomei's words.
Xie Shi knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, but after silently glancing at Tao Jiang, he quietly retreated.
Being so troubled by Tao Luo, the maids and little girls were silenced like chilling cicadas, Tao Yongjin breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Tao Luo fiercely, and said:
"It's getting late, let's go in early! I set up a feast in the main hall, but don't let the food get cold! ”
Tauro glanced at the crowd, and his heart was slightly bitter.
In addition to a group of maids, only grandfather, the second and third rooms went out to greet them today.
Since his father left, the second uncle has taken over the responsibility of his brother and has been in a layman business all the year round, so only the Gu family brought a Tao Luo out of the second room today.
In the third room, the third uncle is studying in Yiyun Academy, and he can't return home on weekdays, and the third aunt's sons and daughters, Tao Su and Tao Ye, are still young, and they are all held in the arms of their mother-in-law and stand in the back row.
It is obviously the glory of the long house, but no one in the long house is present today.
Taura's heart was like a smoky lake, and he felt a little ironic under a faint mourning.
She looked up at her grandfather, and her tone was soft but unmistakable:
"Grandfather, I won't eat this meal. Recently, I've been busy with the selection of general merchants, and I finally have time to go and see my mother. ”
Tao Yongjin's face gradually turned cold.
When he heard Tao Jiang's good news today, he also hesitated whether to call the Changfang Zeng family to come out to greet him.
But when he thought of the neighbor seeing the daughter-in-law of the long house, he would think of his son who died in Fireworks Willow Lane, and immediately dispelled this thought.
In addition, Gu Shi whispered in his ear that the daughter-in-law of the long house was already frail, so don't go out and blow the night breeze, it would be a big problem.
--In this way, Tao Yongjin will have more confidence in his heart, and he must not let Zeng's go out and be embarrassed!
Before Tao Yongjin could change his face and become angry, Gu Xiaomei came up first:
"Luo'er, that's your mistake. As soon as my father-in-law got the news, he spent a lot of money to find Master Chen from Zuixiang Building to set up a banquet for you. It's just to have a meal with your grandfather, how much time can it delay you? You can't be a general businessman, and you don't even have time to eat, right? ”
With two mouths up and down, he put the big hat of "no one in the eyes of the general businessman" firmly on Tao Jiang's head.
The wind is blowing, the black magpie returns to the nest, and the coolness gradually invades people's hearts.
But what's even cooler is Tao Yongjin's face.
He also knew that his granddaughter was not a thing in the pool.
It is beneficial to the Tao family, and he can add some silver money and thin noodles to himself, and he can hold her.
But if she forgets her roots and can't recognize a few catties and taels, she can still trample her under her feet.
After all, this family surname is Tao, Tao Yongjin's Tao.
Tao Jiang didn't understand his grandfather's careful thoughts, but now was not the time to disobey him, so he squatted down and said:
"The second aunt said something different. My grandfather has always taught us that filial piety comes first and profit comes second. When I moved the house to Wenyuan Lane, I also thought that although the descendants of my Tao family were born in businessmen, they did not forget the filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and shame of the scholars. ”
Seeing that his grandfather nodded slightly, Tao Jiang continued:
"Now my mother is sick in bed, but my second aunt let me ignore it, if people know, maybe how to say that my Tao family only knows business, not filial piety."
In a word, he smoothed his grandfather, but he cheated the Gu family.
Tao Yongjin is the most good-looking person, I can't wait for the readers in the streets and alleys to praise him for "being in a business house but having a noble character", now listening to Tao Jiang say this, he also feels quite reasonable, and quickly waved his sleeves and said loudly:
"Filial piety comes first. Your mother is not in good health, so you should take care of yourself. Filial piety is the first criterion of my Tao Mansion. ”
After speaking, the probe looked at a few readers in the crowd of onlookers.
Tao Jiang smiled, leaving his grandfather to entertain the neighborhood outside the door, and when he walked to the second aunt, he said in a serpent-like voice:
"The fourth sister is simple-minded, not as delicate as the second aunt, it seems to be very good!"
