Four hundred chapters and three disheartened
Zhou Ma couldn't say anything more.
As soon as she thought that she had survived for so many years, had just come out of the way, and had truly become a housewife, and was no longer pressed on her head by her stepmother-in-law, she suddenly flew into trouble, not to mention the peaceful days, even her children and grandchildren may be affected, and her lives are not guaranteed, so she was so sad that she couldn't think calmly.
Originally, she still had to support this family and try to calm herself down, but now that her sister is here, what is there to hide in front of her parents' closest relatives? She simply put everything aside and cried happily in front of her sister, scolding those who wanted to scold by the way. If she doesn't scold at this time, she doesn't know if she will have a chance to scold again.
Ma Shi listened to the eldest sister crying bitterly, and only felt sad and angry. She can't think calmly now, so she can only hug Zhou Ma's and let the other party cry and scold. Method or something, think about it later.
Seeing this, Begonia and Haijiao had to leave the bedroom again, leaving the space for their sisters. But it's useless to continue to sit stupidly outside, the current situation is not good, and their brothers and sisters haven't been able to receive the news in time, and they won't know until something happened for a few days, if they don't hurry up and think about how to deal with it, I'm afraid that the third room of the Zhou family will shed its skin if it doesn't die this time.
Haijiao whispered to the little sister: "Caijuan and Cailuo are both girls around Grandma, and most of them can't tell what Grandma doesn't know." I still have to ask my aunt and grandfather about this. I'll go to the study to find him, and you can ask Cousin Yijun to see if she knows more about it. ”
Haitang nodded, and said, "After we inquire clearly, it's best to go and talk to Zhen Guogong." Even the Tang family heard the rumors about this, and there was no reason why Zhen Guogong didn't know. But what kind of charter does Zhen Guogong have for this? Since Tu Rong has exposed this matter and has never made a noise, does he have other plans? My brother tried to find out clearly, and things may not have reached a dead end. ”
Hai Jiao sighed: "Even if it doesn't reach a dead end, Old Madam Ma did this kind of thing, the three rooms of the Zhou family didn't notice it at all, and they didn't have the shame to face the soldiers and civilians in the northwest and the border army afterwards!" ”
The decline of the Zhou family's three rooms is a foregone conclusion. It is a pity that my aunt and her children have been affected by this unjustified disaster.
The brother and sister discussed in the main courtyard and went their separate ways.
Haijiao went directly to the study to ask for his uncle Zhou Shigong.
Zhou Shigong didn't want to see him. Just a junior, a half-grown child, what's the use of seeing it? If the brother-in-law Haixi Cliff comes, he can still help with an idea, but who told Haixi Cliff to go on a business trip? However, even if Haixi Cliff did not leave Chang'an City, Zhou Shigong did not want to take the initiative to find him. After all, Haixi Cliff is now working under Tu Rong's hands, what if he upsets his boss because of helping his brother-in-law?
Zhou Shigong now has no hope for the future of his family, so he looks forward to not affecting his relatives and friends. If any of his children and grandchildren can survive by chance, he will probably have to count on his relatives and friends to take care of him......
Zhou Shigong has a negative attitude, but how can Haijiao be a person who will easily accept his fate? My aunt and grandfather refused to see him, so it was a big deal that he just broke in. The stakes are high, even if he loses his manners, can his uncle still beat him to death?! I'm afraid that Zhou Shigong, an old Confucian student, is not a half-old young opponent of him who has been practicing martial arts for many years......
Just when the reef broke into Zhou Shigong's study, Haitang also came to the small cross courtyard on the edge of the main courtyard and saw Zhou Yijun, who was also sick in bed.
Zhou Yijun hadn't written to Haitang for a few days. In her last letter, she did not disclose anything that had happened in her family, only that the weather had changed since the beginning of spring, her grandmother was not in good health, and she had to help with the housework, so she did not plan to go out to play for the time being, thus avoiding the invitation to the sisters' party. If it weren't for Begonia's visit today, I wouldn't know that she was also sick.
When Zhou Yijun saw Begonia, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Sister Hai is here?" I'm sure you've heard of it too, right? Sister, let's go back, don't care about us anymore, so as not to be implicated. ”
"What stupid things are you talking about?!" Haitang glanced at her, and then sat down on her kang, "What's wrong with you?" It's like an aunt, and I'm sick in a hurry for that? ”
Zhou Yijun sat up, and Begonia hurriedly stuffed a pillow behind her. The girl came up to help and complained to Haitang: "Our sister has been so worried about tea and rice these days, in order to take care of his wife, she barely ate some noodle soup and stomach." Yesterday, I heard that there was a commotion over there, and the grandmother was clamoring to leave, and she didn't even care about her children, and the uncle refused to let go, and the couple had a quarrel for a long time, and the house was not peaceful. My sister went over to persuade her, but she was scolded back by the uncle and grandmother, and she couldn't think about it, so she didn't sleep all night. From yesterday noon to now, I've only drunk half a bowl of soup! ”
Zhou Yijun glanced at the girl: "What are you talking about?" Sister Hai is here, you don't even serve tea, this is also a courtesy? ”
The girl said: "I'll take the tea, but the cousin girl just ate the tea in the main courtyard, and I don't care about this cup of tea, I'm afraid that I hope my sister can get better soon!" ”
After the girl finished speaking, she went out, Zhou Yijun blushed and said to Haitang: "This girl came back from Ningxia Zhongwei with me, she was spoiled by me on weekdays, and she was unruly, Sister Hai should not be like her." ”
Haitang sighed: "This girl is a loyal person, and she is also smart, and she knows what is the point at the moment." What do you do with those false courtesies between relatives? The most important thing is to solve the current difficulties first. ”
Zhou Yijun sighed: "Since Sister Hai has already heard about it from her grandmother, why do you want to say these words of comfort to me again?" My grandmother has always regretted that she didn't set up a family affair for me earlier, and now she wants to find a generous person to send me out of the cabinet, but it can't be. I knew that my grandmother was for my good, and I didn't complain at all, but I regretted my younger siblings...... They are still so young, they were born in Ningxia since they were children, they have endured hardships, they have never seen the good days of Chang'an, why do they have to be affected......" As she spoke, she couldn't help but sob.
Haitang took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and comforted her a few words before saying: "Now my brother has gone to my aunt and grandfather, and my aunt is so sad that she can't speak, and she is holding my grandma and crying." I can only come to you and ask what is going on, and if there is any room to turn around? Even if Mrs. Ma's crime is undeniable, do you unaware relatives have any hope of getting out? ”
Zhou Yijun is young in the end, not as willing to accept his fate as his grandparents, and after listening to Haitang's words, he also lifted his spirits a little: "Is there really hope?" Collaborating with the enemy and treason, but it is a great crime to be beheaded all over the house! If the Sun family is bad in the court, I am afraid that even the whole clan may not be able to escape! Is there really any hope for our family to get out? ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Haitang said, "Anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, it won't be worse than now." ”
Zhou Yijun thought for a while and sat up straighter: "I actually heard about it from my grandfather and grandmother, but my subordinates also heard some news from my grandfather's henchmen......"
It is said that soon after Tu Rong took office, he inquired about Du Boqin's case. After reading the dossier, he interrogated Du Boqin separately for several days. During this period, he only allowed the personal soldiers he brought from the capital to be present, and did not let the people from the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division observe. However, after all, the people of Shaanxi Dusi have a favorable location, and after noticing the difference, it is not impossible to find out what he and Du Boqin have said.
After Tu Rong came to the door, Zhou Shigong saw the human and material evidence, although he was greatly shocked, but he also tried to struggle. He looked around for people to inquire about the news, to determine the authenticity of the names of those Hu people's spies, and what Du Boqin revealed to Tu Rong during the interrogation, so he was completely disheartened and lay flat at home, just waiting for the court's decree to condemn and decide the fate of his entire family.
So what did he hear?
