Mrs. Zheng is indeed thinking about this issue, whether to change people, she always feels that the world is as black as a crow. For example, Mrs. Rong is very good, but she doesn't have the ability, and even if the incapable person sits in that position, the more she does it, the worse she gets.

When the third uncle and third aunt were alive, they were so honest and self-reliant, and they were dedicated to doing things for the people in the clan. In this way, Mrs. Zheng was relieved to hand over the affairs of the clan to Sanfang to take care of, but she didn't expect Sanfang's daughter-in-law to be so black-hearted.

I used to see that she was also from a big family, not such a person.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't decide for herself, so she took the lead in going to Master Zheng and told him about this matter: "Brother Hao's daughter-in-law, she is her father, and she can't rub sand in her eyes, so she poked this matter out." ”

"Therefore, Brother Hao's daughter-in-law settled these people with 12,000 taels." Master Zheng was also shocked.

You must know that these people in the clan, he has not been in contact with them, and those who don't know how to do it will definitely be deceived. Moreover, you haven't reasoned yet, and even the masters are a little weaker, and the subordinates are bullying you.

Mrs. Zheng bowed: "Yes, she said that 10,000 taels is enough, and 2,000 taels is the hard work of those few people." You say this kid ......"

Master Zheng said gently: "I think it is true that I have to change people and take care of it again, to be honest, Brother Hao also said that he went to the clan study to take a look, it was heartbreaking, and the clan study was a mess, no wonder there are fewer and fewer people in my Zheng family now." ”

Afraid that Master Zheng would be too angry, Mrs. Zheng calmed him down: "Don't be angry, Liu's family also said that Brother Qi is a good seedling for reading, smarter than their Liu family, and Brother Shu is also tiger-headed, what are you worried about." ”

"Yes, I don't worry about their little brothers, my in-laws personally take care of them. I think Brother Qi is a prodigy, but he is too young, Brother Hao and his daughter-in-law said that they can't boast too much, for fear that he will hurt Zhongyong and be unstable, and when the time comes, it will be no different from the career of the imperial examination. Master Zheng saw that his family was getting better and better, and his anger was also a lot easier.

He quickly instructed: "Then let Brother Hao's daughter-in-law take care of it first, and when she is about to leave, it would be good to choose someone to be a replacement." ”

Mrs. Zheng was relieved when she got the approval, and she was ready to tell Lishu about this matter tomorrow. Because she is not in good health, she is already a little tired after this toss.

Where did I know that Lishu hadn't come over in the morning, and Grandma Shu came over to say hello first.

Speaking of Shu's, Mrs. Zheng's eyelids jumped, for Shu's, their family was a little sorry. Brother Hao was confused for a while, and he was actually taken by someone.

Brother Hao was also kind for a while, and Mrs. Zheng later went to the doctor to ask about the situation at that time, if she didn't keep her big as soon as possible, she would be one corpse and two lives. Desperately asked the midwife to drag the child out, but the child was already blue and couldn't live at all.

But if Brother Hao didn't say anything about Baoda, it would have been fine, but he had said it.

"Let her in."

When Shu came in, Mrs. Zheng glanced at her and knew that Shu's background was not high, and it was her father who served as the prefect of Kaifeng back then, and did everything possible to send her daughter to the Zheng family. She still remembers that when she first saw Shu's, she only felt that she was not visible or dewy, she was very chaste and quiet, and she didn't talk much.

Later, an incident happened, and I realized that she was very alert and not an ordinary person.

"Auntie." Shu sat down nervously.

Mrs. Zheng secretly thought about her intentions, only gossiped a few words, and when she saw that her expression was relaxed, she asked, "How is your lord in office?" ”

Speaking of Zheng Yu, Shu's eyes darkened: "I don't know either." ”

Zheng Yu is the only son of Qifang, and he was a third-class jinshi in the past, but he was not determined to take the imperial examination, and he was not willing to work hard in Beijing, so he went to Nanjing to serve as an idle official, but Mrs. Zheng didn't expect that she didn't bring Shu over.

"Your mother-in-law has also passed away, and Brother Yu still won't take you there, it's really unbelievable."

Maybe let yourself be the master for her? Mrs. Zheng thought so and opened the conversation.

Shu Shi said: "Our lord asked me to take care of the family business at home, and now I have Sister Ling under my knees, and I can't leave." ”

"I heard that the sister of the third room is raised by you. ......"Mrs. Zheng can't figure out what she wants to do, whether she wants money or lu?" Otherwise, what do you do for no reason.

Mother Gong hurriedly stepped forward to serve, because Lishu already had a set of her own people, and she wanted to use a new person for the housekeeper, so Mother Gong came back to Mrs. Zheng.

She knew the signal of Mrs. Zheng's cough, and immediately came over to pat her back and make a lot of noise.

Shu Shi wanted to pull out her legs more and more and left, she was not stupid, she knew that she had indeed come to ask for something. After several hints from Mrs. Zheng, she finally spoke: "My niece has delayed her age because of filial piety, and your family is in filial piety, so I shouldn't have said such things." But ......"

Originally, Mrs. Zheng thought that she was asking her to help talk about family affairs, but she only smiled and said: "If you have any difficulties, just look for me, Miss Shu can be in the house?" ”

"Yes, it's been okay these days, and she's coming to stay with me." Shu immediately called his niece over.

When Lishu came to Mrs. Zheng's place, she saw a young woman inside, this girl was elegant and beautiful, but there was no trace of rich and leisurely makeup, she looked like a daughter in a jinghai cloth skirt.

"Brother Hao's daughter-in-law, this is your sister-in-law's niece of Yu, it just so happened that I was back to live in my hometown, and I was still bored, and when I saw that this girl was behaved elegantly, she stayed here with me as a companion." Mrs. Zheng said with a smile.

Since her mother-in-law wants to be like this, Lishu didn't dare to disobey, so she naturally pulled Miss Shu and praised a few words: "Since you are with our wife, I will sweep the house for you in a while, and send your share to go, if there is anything missing, just tell me." ”

Seeing this, Shu Shi was also very happy, she had a secret thought in her heart, if her niece could marry Zheng Hao's family as a second room, it would be great. Zheng Hao is talented and beautiful, the Son of Heaven is a close minister, and the son of the Zheng family, even if he is a serious second room, it is better than marrying someone casually.

Although Shu blamed Zheng Hao in his heart, he didn't understand anything and let his son be gone. But the side also shows that he is a very good person to women, if he knows his situation today, then it is just a concubine, with the character of his niece, it will not affect the status of the big house, as long as he feels guilty and promises himself, then she will forgive Zheng Hao.

They are all women, and Lishu was also stunned when she saw Shu's eyes.

She knows very well that a man's concubine is like drinking water, and the Tan family is very jealous, and after she gave birth to a child, she also took a concubine for her husband, not to mention her father Liu Chengxu, who is already a good man in everyone's mouth, and still has a few concubines.

The elder can't resign, will Zheng Hao refuse?

It's like Dad likes Mom very much, so what? In his previous life, his mother died, and he didn't have many lovers.

Lishu felt powerless for a moment, but quickly picked herself up again. It's just that today because of the Shu family's matter, Mrs. Zheng didn't tell her about taking over the affairs of the sect.

Miss Shu's single name is a Xin character, I heard that she also knows a few words, and her grandfather has also been a prefect, if it weren't for the Shu family's downfall, she would definitely be unusual.

"Brother Hao's daughter-in-law, I see that you are similar to her, send two sets of your clothes first, and then call the tailor to come and make some clothes for Xin'er in a few days." Mrs. Zheng thought that in the future, it would be better to recognize a godfather and marry her, which could be regarded as a good fate. If Shu Shi wants to do anything to blame her son in the future, then don't blame her for being polite.

Lishu agreed with a smile, she is not stupid, she shows great hostility at this time, and only herself will suffer at that time.

And after learning that Shu Xin lived in the Zheng family's house, the second wife Gu's illness was cured, and she smiled and said to Zhong's mother: "I really didn't expect that Shu's work would be so fast." ”

"Back then, the eldest young master of Zongfang wanted to protect her, but he didn't protect her son, and Zongfang felt a little sorry for her, so it was logical." Mother Zhong said.

Mrs. Gu said: "I think that Liu is a high-minded and arrogant person, and such a warm boiled frog has to be milled until the Year of the Monkey." You just let it go, saying that after the sect is ready to show filial piety, the girl of the Shu family will be accepted as the second room, and everyone must know it. ”

She has to let something happen to the sect, so that she can take care of herself, and the housekeeping power is still in her hands.

I can't let her stand firm, and then I won't be able to deal with it at all.

It's really boring to want to take my power so soon.

The news that Zheng Hao wanted to accept the second room suddenly spread, Cui's has always had a good relationship with Lishu, her daughter was married, Lishu also specially sent a generous gift, and she also immediately came to the upper room of the sect to report the news.

At this time, Lishu had just taken a nap, and she had to take a nap. I get up early in the morning, I feel very sleepy after eating at noon, and after sleeping for a while, my energy is much better in the afternoon.

The next person is combing her hair, to say that Cui's usually sees Lishu, she is very energetic. Now that she is lazily combing her hair by the window, she shows a hint of coquettishness, which makes her eyes straight when she looks at her.

"Sister-in-law, I heard a message and made a special trip to tell you."

"You say." Lishu didn't care.

I only heard Cui's words: "It's rumored everywhere that your family has taken Miss Shu as a concubine?" I haven't said it before, and I said that I would ask her to be the second room as soon as you came out of filial piety. This...... The Shu family is a broken household, what is your identity, you gave birth to two sons, how to let her enter the door to be a second room. ”

Lishu frowned: "Where did you hear about it?" ”

Cui Shi said: "I heard what Brother Qing's daughter-in-law and a few people in the house said, and I saw that what they said was conclusive." ”

Lishu was also very annoyed, so angry that she threw the comb to the ground, and the white jade flower and bird comb instantly became in half. It's one thing to know that Mrs. Zheng has this meaning, but now it's rumoring, what is this going to do?

Lishu was angry, and the people around her were scared, Zheng Hao just came over with a little pinch, yesterday it was Lishu who sent scones to him, and today he asked people to buy snacks from outside and send them to Lishu, you might as well meet her and get angry, Zheng Hao quickly came in.

Zheng Hao came in, and Cui Shi was afraid that he would be contaminated with him, so he left quickly.

"Shu'er, what's wrong?"

Lishu was not sad, after all, that Miss Shu couldn't shake her status at all, but when she thought of someone wanting to share her husband with her, she was unhappy, this was something that couldn't be done.

Zheng Hao is hers, no one can rob her, her body, heart and even spirit can only have her.

But when such words came out of her, a person who was born in a family and married to Zongzi, when the relationship was still good, Zheng Hao would feel that she cared about him and was willing to connive. But what if one day he gets tired? He also felt that he was being vexatious.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zheng Hao: "I really didn't expect everyone to know that you want to take a second room now?" I can tell you, I am different from other women, you have failed me, and I will not be good to you again. ”

What is a two-bedroom apartment?

Zheng Hao listened like a thunderbolt on a sunny day: "What nonsense are you talking about?" How dare I. ”

"Your mother has brought people over, and it has also spread throughout the clan, this Miss Shu is the niece of Grandma Yu." Lishu knew that Zheng Hao was not only studying at home, but also personally teaching Brother Qi to read, so she might not know this. The husband and wife had to sleep in separate rooms, which made it impossible for Lishu, who used to chat with him every day, to communicate with him in time.

Zheng Hao felt that it was a fantasy: "Where is this, not to say that Miss Shu is my junior, and not to say that I am in filial piety with you, just say how I treat you?" How can you take a concubine like this to disgust us. ”

These words made Lishu angry a lot, and she didn't want to be in chaos outside, and her own house was even more chaotic, so she said: "Okay, if I don't believe you, where am I still angry with you, I would have taken my sons to stay away from you a long time ago." Think about what to do first, shall we? ”

Zheng Hao said: "What else, eliminate misunderstandings, this Shu girl can't stay, just like the so-called melon field and plums, she will be ginseng if she has nothing to do." ”

"Well, you go and talk about this matter, and besides, we can't listen to the wind or rain, let's find out one or two first." Lishu pulled Zheng Hao to sit down, and sent her henchmen to inquire in each room, but she didn't expect that everyone really knew.

Zheng Hao immediately went to Mrs. Zheng, where did Mrs. Zheng know that outsiders were talking nonsense, and she also shouted injustice: "I was thinking that the people in the seventh room splashed dog blood in front of your room in the past, and let people slander the relationship between you and Shu's family, if it wasn't for your grandmother to suppress it and the help of the six old ladies, this matter would not have happened again." Now that Shu's suddenly came to the door, I naturally wanted to get married, the Shu family was poor, and Shu's money was tight, so I married her and got married, so the matter was resolved. ”

"Mother, it's not wrong for you to think like this, but others may not think so." Zheng Hao always felt that he had been calculated: "Do you think that if something happens during the really filial piety period, how many people are staring at the position of the bachelor under his son, how is the son good?" ”

He knew very well that if Lishu came out, it would make their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a discord, but when he took his own future, his mother would definitely be worried.

Mrs. Zheng looked kind, she was not a person without means, she was also dedicated to her son, first called Shu Shi to come over and explain clearly, and then said: "I don't know who spreads rumors like this?" The seniority is different, and I dare to speculate, but don't worry, I recognize Miss Shu as my goddaughter, and you take this thousand taels to the Shu family, which is the meeting gift for my goddaughter, and when she gets married, I will prepare a dowry for her. ”

Shu's family knew that the Shu family's family was withering, and her brother was a bad gambler, so she gave her brother a thousand taels, but she was playing at the poker table for a few more months, and she wanted the protection of a wealthy family. Look at the food and clothing of the maids in the sect, they are very human, not to mention Zheng Qing's concubine, the one called Ning Xiang, ten taels of silver a month, there are generous gifts at four o'clock and eight festivals, and there are also girls to serve, and I even heard that the father of Zheng Qing's other concubine bought two shops and acted as a shopkeeper.

Obviously, the people of the clan owe her and her son, if she dies and saves her son, then her son is the eldest son, and he is not young until now, and the Zheng family will also help the Shu family for the sake of the eldest son.

But Mrs. Zheng's words have no room for beak.

……

Everything is going according to the plan of the second wife, and the reason why she went so smoothly is because she and the people in the clan are much more familiar than Lishu, just like Lishu thinks that if she gets Miss Shu away, her mother-in-law will also give her money, and her godmother will admit it, which can be regarded as a complete solution.

Where do you know, all interests can corrupt people's hearts.

The second wife Gu knew that Shu's money was tight, so she had already bought off the mother-in-law beside her, so the mother-in-law said to Shu's according to the instructions of the second wife: "Oh no, grandma, just go out and listen to a few little hooves laughing at us, saying what to sell or what, what to say is very unbearable." ”

Shu Shi has been in the door for so many years, and he has long known that there are a lot of dirty things in this family, and those people look polite and polite, but they are all a group of people who hate people, laugh at people, suspect people who are poor, and are afraid of being rich, especially Mrs. Zheng put out the words of knot and gift makeup and money, I don't know how many people are red-eyed.

Even, Shu Shi felt that his son was tainted by such stinky money, and even if they gave her more money, they would not be able to exchange it for their son.

When her mind was in a mess, she listened to her mother-in-law again: "I'm afraid that they will talk to our lord in the future, last time my lord went to Beijing to catch the exam, and told us not to mention these things again, will the lord think that you are deliberately scolding money." ”

"I really can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River."

"Is it only death that proves that you are like this?"

The mother-in-law chattered, but Shu's ears were in her ears, especially after eating a cup of tea, she became more and more distraught. Even if there is only one sentence in his mind, he will be relieved when he dies, no one says that he can't give birth, he dislikes his mother's downfall, and his niece and younger brother won't blame themselves!

……

Lishu was eating tea with Zheng Hao, and the couple also clinked glasses, replaced wine with tea, and smiled at each other.

saw Zhulan hurriedly come in and said, "Uncle, grandma is not good, grandma Yu hanged herself." ”：，，
