Chapter 8: Senior Brothers and Sisters, Born as a Pair (3)
cried, vented the pain in his heart for days, wiped his tears and sat upright.
"No one dares to bully me, brother rest assured. ”
Qingming restrained his expression, hid his feelings, and gossiped with Liu Yiyi.
"I heard that your husband wants a fat difference on the grain road, but in my opinion, he is about to enter the office, so I delusionally think that if the teacher wants to help him fight for it, it will inevitably be true. The Liu family's momentum is too strong, and it is not a good thing after all. ”
Liu Yiyi bowed his head: "I can save my brother's words, and the Liu family will help each other, but they will not let him take what he wants." ”
Qing Ming relaxed slightly: "If you can think about it, it's good." ”
Liu Yiyi can naturally understand that she is a girl from an official eunuch's family, although she lost her heart for Zhao Han, she did not lose her brain, and she will not lose her mother's family to seek a future for Zhao Han.
In the midst of small talk, there were bursts of cheers from downstairs.
Yi Si Lou is a place for literati and artists to spend time and gather on weekdays, and there are often small literary and poetry clubs. The cheers at this moment may be that there is a literati who is in the limelight again.
Qingming put down the teacup and looked at Liu Yiyi: "Usually you like to be lively, do you want to go down and have a look today?"
Liu Yiyi shook her head and refused.
"In the past, there was no one in my heart, nothing in my eyes, and I naturally saw it lively. But now, I'm afraid I can't see any excitement. ”
Qingming was stunned.
Liu Yiyi saw that it was not early, so she said goodbye to Qingming and returned home. On the other hand, he sent someone to send a message to the Liu family, asking Lord Liu not to meet Zhao Han's request at one time.
When Liu Xiang received his daughter's words, he thought that his daughter had been wronged. The originally scheduled messenger was replaced by a deputy envoy.
In the study of the Liu family, Zhao Han stood in front of Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang looked serious, and Zhao Han looked respectful.
"Lord Taishan, what the son-in-law asked for a few days ago, I don't know if Lord Taishan has ......"
Yoo Xiang snorted from his nostrils and threw out a letter of appointment from his sleeve.
Zhao Han picked it up with a smile, and when he saw that the position was the deputy envoy, the smile on his face was almost uncontrollable.
"Lord Taishan, this ......"
As soon as Liu Xiang raised his eyes, the coercion of the superior came to his face, and Zhao Han shut up stupidly.
Liu Xiang asked coldly, "I heard that you also have a junior sister who lives in your mansion now?"
Zhao Han copied his hand and replied: "Yes, my son-in-law lost my son at a young age, and it was the teacher who took me in and taught me to read for me to go to Beijing for the imperial examination." Before I could get into the middle school, my teacher passed away due to illness. Now the wife and sister can only be taken care of by the son-in-law. ”
Liu is similar to a smile.
"I heard that you and your junior sister are childhood sweethearts, if it weren't for my son taking a fancy to you, you should have married your junior sister?"
Cold sweat oozed from Zhao Han's hair, and he didn't know how to answer.
Liu Xiang glanced at Zhao Han.
"Is it because my son has delayed you? If so, I can administer justice for you, and let you reconcile and divorce from my son, and in the future, men and women will marry irrelevantly, how about it?"
Zhao Han suffered a cardiac arrest and knelt down in front of Liu Xiang with a thud.
"Master Taishan, although I grew up with my younger sister, but now that I have a family, I only treat her as a younger sister. No distractions!"
Liu Xiang endured and endured, so he didn't stretch out his foot and kick him.
"Who are you looking at, what you think in your heart, the old man will not be able to see it. It's all men, don't be an old man or a child. If you don't get along, send her away, and let me know that she lives in the house, and even if my son doesn't want to, I'll let you get along. ”
Liu Xiang is used to calling the wind and rain in the court, and he also has some majesty in his life. He asked him to send him away, and Zhao Han didn't dare to say a word "no".
"The son-in-law obeyed. ”
After saying what should be said, Liu Xiang and Zhao Han didn't even say a word of greeting, and raised their hands to drive people away. Zhao Han left with a good acquaintance.
Liu Xiang was also a romantic figure when he was young, and he had a lot of concubines in the family, and when he was almost forty, he had Liu Yiyi's daughter.
is an old woman, and she is the only daughter, so it is inevitable that she will be favored. When his daughter wanted to marry Zhao Han, he wanted to ask the emperor to give him a marriage, and Zhao Han's family was poor, so he married the house, gold and silver, and slaves.
He did everything well, but he didn't let others enjoy it.
Zhao Han left Liufu and got into his own carriage, and the more he looked at the letter of appointment in his hand, he threw it on the ground and stepped on it angrily.
A sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart, even if he was the champion of the new department, he still had no power to fight back in front of an old fox like Prime Minister Liu.
In the courtyard, Miss Zhong has been locked in the outhouse since she and Zhao Han spent the night in the study that day.
Regarding the matter of living in Zhao Han's mansion, Mrs. Zhong was unwilling. Although he has raised Zhao Han as a son-in-law for 20 years, he suddenly fell short, and there is always some injustice in his heart.
But after Zhao Han went to high school, he found a house for their mother and daughter, and sent food, clothing, and silver. According to Mrs. Zhong's plan, in the future, Zhao Han will recognize her daughter as her sister, find a similar one among the same subjects, and let her daughter be the head of the family. It's better than in this house, where the two of them don't know what to do.
Since beating her daughter and knowing that her daughter did not return all night, she has a faint guess in her heart. Although she doesn't want to think about her daughter in an unbearable direction, who can tell the men and women who are immersed in love.
Just when Mrs. Zhong was worried, the two little girls walked out of the door and chewed two sentences on the root of their tongues.
Although this girl Zhong is a girl from a scholarly family, she didn't expect that she was a shameless person, and she was in the study with a married man in the middle of the night. ”
The other was a little timid, and stretched out his hand to pull a glance at his companion: "Be quiet, this is Suju Courtyard." ”
The one who spoke first had a pout: "What are you afraid of, she herself is not doing it right." Don't let anyone say it yet. It's also our young lady who is lenient, if I had been replaced, I would have gone out earlier, but I would still be in the house, and I wouldn't have to dirty our place!"
Mrs. Zhong trembled with anger, and used her lifelong courage to drive away the two gossiping little girls with a broom.
Although they drove people away, the words of those two people lingered in their ears. Mrs. Zhong has been strong all her life, she is old, and she was slapped in the face by her daughter.
Wiping away a handful of tears, Mrs. Zhong called the maid in Suju Courtyard and knocked on her daughter's door.
Zhong Chuchu heard the door ring, and answered sullenly.
Mrs. Zhong called her daughter: "Chu Chu, open the door, it's A-Niang." ”
Zhong Chuchu said "um": "Auntie, I'm fine." You don't have to worry about me. ”
Mrs. Zhong continued to knock on the door, and there was a tendency for her daughter to keep without opening the door.
Zhong Chuchu knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he got up and opened the door and welcomed Mrs. Zhong in.
Mrs. Zhong was originally prepared if her daughter never opened the door. So he asked the maid to kick the door open, and since she had entered the house smoothly, the maid was useless. Mrs. Zhong sent the people away, closed the door and dragged her daughter into the back room.
Zhong Chuchu was slightly weak-hearted.
