Chapter 486: Ripples
Chapter 487: Ripples
Haitang followed her aunt Zhou Ma, grandmother Ma, and cousin Zhou Yijun back to the main courtyard of the Zhou family's third room.
Everybody has experienced a big shock. It's just that in front of outsiders, they all pretend to be calm and don't show the slightest difference. Now that he has returned to his familiar room, Zhou Ma's whole person immediately softened, and he sat on the edge of the kang with his butt on the edge of the kang table, only to feel that he had no strength in his body.
Ma sat down across from the kang table, feeling his mind buzzing. However, she was more happy in her heart: "Eldest sister, Tu Tongzhi and the female officials and guards from the palace are all here, they didn't say what the emperor wanted to do with your family, they only said that they left poison for Mrs. Ma, does this mean ...... Are you all right?! ”
Zhou Ma raised his head, and he was already in tears. She nodded vigorously: "It should be fine, otherwise they should have said what the master was guilty of." They don't mention it, and the grandfather of Changfang Guo will not embarrass their family, this disaster is over! ”
Ma couldn't help but chant the Buddha: "Bodhisattva bless!" The eldest sister's family escaped, and they have to go to the temple to make a wish! ”
Zhou Mashi asked her movingly: "Yumei, did you go to the temple to pray for blessings?" ”
Not really. Ma's has been busy before and after the year, she hasn't been to the temple in Chang'an City for more than ten years, where do you remember to go to the incense to worship the Buddha? However, when she was at home, she also prayed to God for the blessing of the Buddha, and rounded up to pray for the eldest sister. Now that the catastrophe has passed, it is also the right thing to go to the temple to repay a wish and donate some sesame oil money.
Zhou Ma nodded again and again when he heard this: "This is the right reason." I will go with you on another day, and I will light dozens of immortal lamps for the old man and Jin Lin, and ask the Buddha to bless me, and in the future, my family will never go out of the West Courtyard again! I've been scared for so long, and my family should have a peaceful birthday for a few years, otherwise if this kind of thing happens again, I'll be scared to death! ”
Ma couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Haitang and Zhou Yijun also laughed on the side. The latter also sat on the chair next to the kang and didn't want to move, and the whole person was full of a sense of powerlessness after experiencing great stimulation.
After his mood relaxed, Ma couldn't help but say what he had been holding back for a long time: "Tangtang, what are you doing today?" You just follow them over to watch the excitement, why do you still talk so much? Fang Cai was startled several times. When Mrs. Ma scolded the Ma family, you couldn't see it and scolded it back, why didn't anyone talk to you a few times later, and you still had to talk more in your aunt's ears? It's a shame that Grandpa Guo, Tu Tongzhi, and the people from the palace are not to blame, and they are dedicated to interrogating Mrs. Ma, otherwise if they annoy you and kick you out, what can they do?! Even if it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones, it's a shame to spread it! ”
Zhou Ma hurriedly said: "Yumei, what are you blaming the child for?" Tang Tang is not talking nonsense today, she has been to the point several times. If she hadn't reminded her in time, maybe they would have missed a lot of doubts and made the lady in the West Courtyard confused. Today, I can find out all the things that the woman has done in the past, and I also have a share of the credit of Tangtang! ”
Of course, Haitang would not tell the truth that she was going to expose the true face of Mrs. Ma, so she followed Zhou Ma's tone and said: "I just can't get used to it." Mrs. Ma has done so many bad things in the past, harmed her aunt's family, and splashed sewage on the head of the Ma family with her face, who still owes her? ! The aunt and grandmother of the Ma family rescued her from the capital, told her good family affairs, and gave her a lot of property; The Zhou family has taken her in for so many years, providing her with fine clothes and food, being noble and decent, and tolerating her little calculations, but she doesn't know gratitude at all, blaming the Ma family and blaming the Zhou family, but she doesn't know how to reflect on herself. I can't look down on this kind of person the most, how can I watch her continue to talk nonsense?! I can't see it, forget it, but as long as I can see her flaws, there is no reason to sit back and watch her continue to deceive! ”
Zhou Yijun hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, I was also angry when I heard it." It's a pity that I have a stupid mouth, and I have a lot of things to say in my heart, but I don't know how to say them. Fortunately, Sister Hai spoke for me. I listened to her say the flaws in the old lady's words, and watched Grandpa Guo, Duchess Guo, Tu Tongzhi, Zeng Commander, and Ma Shangyi expose the old lady's lies step by step, not to mention how happy I was! ”
Zhou Mashi sat up straight, stretched out his hand and pulled the begonia over, hugged it in his arms, and said affectionately: "The child is also a piece of filial piety. She's still young, so what if she's a little reckless? The husband and wife of the long house are both kind people, and they will not be surprised. As for the others, they are not familiar with each other, and there will probably be no time to deal with them in the future, so it doesn't matter what they think. The eldest sister has just gotten out of trouble, and she is happy in her heart. Good girl, don't ruin your fun at this time. ”
The eldest sister said so, what else can Ma say? only glared at her granddaughter secretly, and said, "Since your aunt and cousin have interceded for you, grandma will spare you this time." If you are a guest at someone else's house in the future, you are not allowed to interject indiscriminately! ”
Begonia responded with a smile. The enemies in her previous life are basically eliminated, and it is only a matter of time before there is only one old lady left, and there will be no more things that make her so excited and angry in the future. After all, she has been a court lady for decades, and the city government still has patience, and she will never make any rude actions in front of people.
After Zhou Mashi finished rejoicing, he began to worry about another thing: "I don't know when the West Courtyard will end." I just listened to the old man's meaning, and I still have to do the funeral for the mother-in-law seriously, but I don't do it much. Where is the money at home? At the beginning, most of the valuable things in the West Courtyard were copied by Tu Tongzhi with others, and I don't know if they can be returned. Although the mother-in-law still has jewelry, there is no second uncle nodding, and it is difficult to say that it is sold. ”
The third room of the Zhou family is actually not poor to that share, but Zhou Ma's has already obtained the power of the middle feed, and he knows how much of a deficit Mrs. Ma has caused to the public middle school, so he is not willing to spend money for her anymore.
Ma told her not to worry about it: "When your second master comes back and sends her on her last journey, let him pay for his mother's funeral." Whether it is a big office or a small office, it is her own son who has the final say, and the eldest sister and brother-in-law are at most contributing some money, even if they are worthy of her. Even if the people in the clan don't know the inside story, and see that her funeral is her own son, they can't blame you and your brother-in-law. ”
Zhou Mashi also thought so, but he still had to pretend: "How many years has she raised the old man, the old man cherishes her reputation the most, and she must do her best to fulfill the courtesy, and she can't ask outsiders to pick on it." After that, he remembered one thing again, "I wonder if the second uncle brought his children and grandchildren back?" If only the second uncle has to wear linen and filial piety for her at that time, it will not look good. Zhou Jinpu was raised by her personally, and she has always been close to her, and she should be a filial grandson for her. With a son doing the work for him, the old man doesn't have to work hard. ”
She called Cailuo: "Go to the east to find the eldest young master and ask him if he is free?" He didn't go to the West Courtyard to hear the trial today, so I want to know what the adults have tried, right? If he tells him, most of him will not believe him, and tell him to go to the master. What the master said, it can't be a lie to him, right? ”
Cailuo went out in response. Ma Shi hurriedly asked Zhou Mashi: "What is the eldest sister going to do?" These things, my brother-in-law will go and explain to Zhou Jinpu, why do you bother to get involved? ”
Zhou Mashi said hatefully: "Zhou Jinpu relied on that mother-in-law, I don't know how much I have been wronged over the years." Now that the mother-in-law has fallen, if he doesn't take the opportunity to take this breath out and completely suppress Zhou Jinpu's arrogance, even if he becomes the housewife of these three rooms in the future, he will still not take it in his eyes. Can you still be proud of him?! Yumei, don't worry about this, you know it. ”
Seeing that his eldest sister had made up his mind, Ma could only roll his eyes and say no more.
