Li Shi squinted at her, but didn't say anything provocative.
But even if she didn't provoke her, Zhu's heart would not be at ease, otherwise, why would she just see Su Yucheng talking to the girl and make a fuss out of a molehill.
Of course, Mrs. Zhu would not admit this, and would only think that the girl was a coquettish girl who deliberately approached the man. Su Yucheng had a personal affair with the widow before, and Zhu's quarrel lasted for two months. Not to mention that the little widow who died of the man made a fuss and moved, Su Yucheng also didn't dare to go out for half a month.
Although in the end Su Yucheng admitted his mistake and gave in, Zhu's heart was still sick.
She waved Li Shi's hand away and stood up: "Don't worry about my mother-in-law, I can still manage my own man." After finishing speaking, she hurried to the East Chamber.
With a schadenfreude smile, Li spat in a low voice: "I'm not afraid that your mouth will be stubborn even after the duck is dead. Sometimes you will suffer."
She stood in the courtyard for a while, and it didn't take long before there was noise from the East Wing.
There were Zhu's scolding, and Su Yucheng's furious scolding. Mrs. Li listened for a while, then leisurely went back to the west chamber.
In the girl's room, Lancao covered her face and wept so hard that she was surrounded by a few girls to persuade her.
"Lancao, don't take this matter to heart. After all, she is the concubine's sister-in-law. Although the concubine treats her servants kindly, she will definitely not embarrass her for us. Fortunately, they only live for a few days. day."
"Not to mention, it's the first time I've seen such a vulgar woman, who throws all dirty and smelly things out. The side concubine has such a good temper, and there is such a sister-in-law!"
One of the girls hurriedly interrupted: "Shut up! You really dare to say anything!"
Seeing everyone's embarrassing faces, she sighed and said: "But don't say it, if the two families were not so out of tune, why did the side concubine put on such a posture? How about this."
The girls comforted Lancao one by one, but Lancao stopped crying. One of the girls went out to fetch water to wash Lancao's face, because they had errands on them, so they didn't stay any longer.
Lancao sat in the room for a while, and did not come out of the room until her emotions calmed down.
The courtyard was very quiet, only the faint crying and cursing could be heard from the East Wing.
In the meantime, Hui Niang came out to talk, and asked Su Yucheng and Zhu Shi to keep their voices down. This is not Linyun County, but Jinwang Mansion. So the voices of Su Yucheng and his wife were much quieter, but they could still be heard from outside.
Lancao was squatting in front of the flowerbed, watering the flowers with a water ladle, when suddenly there was a slam of the door, and a man knocked out from the east chamber.
It was Su Yucheng.
Su Yucheng covered his face with one hand, he probably didn't expect to bump into the bluegrass, and was stunned for a moment. Immediately, his face was full of embarrassment. He was planning to leave, but he stopped for some reason, hesitating and said: "Don't take that matter to heart just now, my wife is too aggressive, and it hurts you."
Lancao didn't seem to expect Su Yucheng to say this to herself, she lowered her head at a loss and said, "No, it's nothing, I'm just a servant."
She was originally a young girl, with a delicate and fair face, and such a helpless appearance added a touch of timidity to her. Su Yucheng couldn't help but take another look, but he didn't expect to bump into the deer-like eyes of the other party. He panicked, nodded and wanted to leave.
The place to go is the main house, this place is unfamiliar, and he has nowhere to go.
"Hey..." Lancao couldn't help shouting.
Su Yucheng stopped and looked back at her.
She took a step forward, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and handed it over timidly.
"You have a wound on your face. If you let the master and wife see it, I'm afraid it will make them worry. You should wipe it off."
Su Yucheng took it, but before he could thank him, Lancao hurried away with her head down, leaving only a faint fragrance.
After the trouble on the front foot here, Yaoniang received the news on the back foot.
King Jin was also there, and Yaoniang felt both embarrassed and very annoyed. She was so annoyed that Mrs. Zhu was so undignified that she went to fight with a girl, and she was so embarrassed that such a person from her natal family would embarrass herself in front of King Jin.
King Jin was in a very good mood today. When he went out in the morning, his mouth was always smiling. This good mood lasted for a whole day and has not disappeared until now.
He glanced at Yaoniang, with lazy eyes, "Okay, what a big deal, it's worth your anger."
"This Zhu family is really..." Yaoniang is a kind girl, she couldn't do the right and wrong of the Taoist behind her back, she didn't know how to describe it for a while, and she was really angry.
"If you really don't like it, you can change it. It's just a woman."
Yao Niang hesitated: "But she..."
"She has committed a lot of seven rules, and any one of them is enough to drive her out of the house." King Jin said.
King Jin's words subverted Yaoniang's perception. Her attitude towards Zhu Shi has always been tolerant, because she knew that one day she might leave that family, but her parents would never leave. Even one day in the future, when parents are old and sick, they still have to point to Mrs. Zhu.
In addition, the Zhu family added three more grandchildren to the Su family, and their position in the Su family was even more stable. Not only Wu shi gave in to her and tolerated her, even Su Xiucai was quite tolerant. Sometimes when Mrs. Zhu does something outrageous, as long as it's not too much, Su Xiucai usually turns a blind eye.
After all, the heir is the eldest, and the Zhu family has made contributions to the Su family.
All these connive at Zhu's viciousness. She is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and has been domineering for a long time, but the entire Su family is actually suppressed by a woman.
But what else can I do besides forbearance? It is not easy for ordinary people to marry a daughter-in-law, and there is no such thing as taking a concubine. Otherwise, the owner of the grocery store would have been pointed out by the neighbors for so many years if he took a concubine.
So Yaoniang really never thought about changing a sister-in-law.
"A good wife and husband rarely cause trouble. Don't you think that there are so many things in your family, a large part of which has something to do with this woman? That day Wang Yuanguan, although your eldest brother is lazy and ineffective, he is not really evil. He treats you more or less. Divide the relationship between brothers and sisters. Even if you can’t stop worrying about it, you should find a way to solve it instead of worrying about it. This doesn’t solve any problems.”
If Yaoniang was struck by lightning, she hated and resented her family members. But to be honest, before Mrs. Zhu entered the house, although the family was poor, their lives were quite harmonious.
Her father is pedantic, but he does his best for the family, and the money he earns every month is not bad, and he takes it home for family use. I often don’t change a scholar’s shirt for many years. Even if it is torn, I let my mother sew it up and wear it again, just to make the women and children in the family full.
And her brother was spoiled by her mother since he was a child, he couldn't bear hardships, couldn't bear tiredness, couldn't read well, and was idle all day long. But her brother still protects her and her sister very much, often because of the fights between the two sisters. When I grow up, sometimes I get something delicious and fun, and I never enjoy it alone, but take it home and share it with my two younger sisters.
Since when did it change
It was probably when her brother was unable to marry a wife.
The life of the Su family is very tight, but if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, not to mention the dowry to the woman's family, organizing the wedding banquet, etc., you need money. With so many people in the family eating, they only depend on his father for a share of money, so there will be no surplus.
In those two years, her father and mother were so worried that they couldn't sleep every day, mother always washed her face with tears, and father was also frowning. Only her brother is still heartless, and he thinks it's okay to marry again a few years later. It was not until her brother was almost twenty, and her sister was old enough to be married, that the family decided to marry their daughter and give their son a wife by the way.
Later, her sister said she gave it to her brother-in-law, took the dowry from Yao's family, and turned around to order Zhu's family for her brother. After the elder brother married the Zhu family, the elder sister married into the Yao family the next year, and from then on, her life began to be difficult.
Mrs. Zhu has a top-notch temperament, and she will be a housekeeper within a few days of marriage. Her mother is soft-tempered and a rare daughter-in-law, so she is tolerated.
Mrs. Zhu is lazy, but she is hardworking when ordering others, so she runs around like crazy. When her brother saw it, he would scold Mrs. Zhu at first, but Mrs. Zhu was not a man who would make people. After making trouble twice, her brother went to Yue's house to pick up his daughter-in-law in desperation. Behind her back, her mother secretly told her to give way to Mrs. Zhu, anyway, she was going to get married in two years.
Thinking of the past, Yaoniang couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
King Jin frowned, and wanted to say why she was crying, but he expected that Mrs. Zhu must have given her a lot of trouble, that's why she cried like this. Feeling even more annoyed, he stretched out his hand and pulled her over: "If she offends you, then replace her. You don't care, this matter will be handled by the king."
The king of Jin has always been decisive in his affairs, and he already had a charter for the arrangement of Yao and Su's family. Here, I communicated with Yaoniang, and ordered Fucheng to do it the next day.
"Your Highness means that now, and he also thinks about Su's concubine's meritorious service in giving birth to an heir, so that she can bless her family. Of course, if the two of you have other regulations, the palace will order someone to send you back to your hometown."
When Fucheng came before, he invited Yao and Su's family over and explained King Jin's intentions.
King Jin meant to allow the two families to settle in Beijing, where the residence would be arranged by the palace, and their errands would be prepared for each. Yao Cheng was assigned the squad leader of the Shuntian Prefecture patrolling camp. Although he was downgraded from a headhunter to a small squad leader, this place is at the emperor's feet, and a small squad leader is not comparable to the headhunters in Linyun County.
As for the father and son of the Su family, the King of Jin asked someone to find a home school, and asked Su Xiucai to sit in the school, so he was still doing his old job. And Su Yucheng was also assigned an errand, serving as an envoy in Wucheng Bingmasi.
It is said that he is a street envoy, but he is actually a petty official. The soldiers and horses of the five cities are in charge of patrolling and arresting thieves in the five outer cities, clearing the streets, ditches, fire bans, etc., which can be regarded as cross-management of various affairs in the outer city with the patrol battalion of Shuntian Prefecture. Street affairs such as fire fighting, night watch, street vendors occupying roads, and thieves disturbing the people are all under their control.
Although Fucheng's words were ambiguous, it was impossible for Yao and Su's family not to agree.
Just like this Su family, who were still worrying about how to live after returning home, but now such a good thing fell from the sky, it was really a surprise. Forget about Su Xiucai, he was sitting in Linyun County, and he was still sitting in the capital when he came to Beijing, but Su Yucheng's transformation from a commoner to an official was a big turnaround, and it was obvious that King Jin deliberately showed favor.
As for Yu Yaocheng, he himself is not without consideration. He walks to a high place and his back is on the mountain of King Jin. Regardless of being a team leader now, who knows what will happen in the future.
No wonder everyone is willing to climb high branches, because the ancients did not deceive others when one person attained the Tao and ascended to heaven. Yao Cheng, who knew something inside, sighed in his heart.
The only bad thing is that the two families will leave their hometowns. But in the face of so many benefits, this little thing is not difficult.
Just when the two families fell into surprise, after Fucheng gave the sweet dates, cold water was also poured down.
"There is no other place in the capital, so you should be cautious. Don't use the Jin Palace as a signboard outside, flaunting it in the market, and causing trouble. It's time to ruin your highness's reputation. If you don't need others to deal with it, your highness will not be soft. I hope you Please remember, don't bring disasters on your family, and implicate you in getting all these concubines Su."
"President Fu, please rest assured, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and not cause trouble for His Highness." Yao Cheng and Su Xiucai looked at each other, and it was Yao Cheng who came forward.
Fu Cheng nodded and left.
Afterwards, Yaoniang made another appearance to say goodbye to the Yaosu family.
During the period, Mrs. Wu once mentioned that she wanted to see her two grandchildren, but Yaoniang burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
It's all like this, so what's the point
The fact that Yao and Su's family are blessed today is obviously to compensate Yaoniang, because her two children were taken away by the concubine who couldn't have children.
After Wu went out and got into the car, she was still crying, crying for her poor daughter.
She patted Su Yucheng hard twice, and hissed: "You have to live up to me, live up to me! If you don't live up to it, how can you be worthy of your sister!"
Su Yucheng covered his face dejectedly, and said sternly: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my expectations, and I will definitely not cause Yaoyao any more trouble."
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhu sneered: "What are you doing, you need it!"
Su Yucheng slapped him with a slap, which stunned Mrs. Zhu.
"Shut up for me!"
Even Su Xiucai and Wu Shi stared at her angrily, obviously committing public outrage.
Zhu Shi immediately didn't dare to say anything.
small theater:
Hot Spring Zhuangzi, Princess Jin who was planting flowers, sneered: "Fuck you, this old lady doesn't recite the pot, why can't my old lady give birth to children? It's hindering you, let you talk all day long."
