The house arranged by King Jin for Yao and Su's family was in Dongcheng, located in Xiatangzi Hutong.
This place is close to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and Mishikou, so it is quite prosperous. Alleys are full of common people's houses. There are two one-and-a-half houses with walls next to walls. Each house has a spacious yard. There are all kinds of furniture and other things inside. People can move in directly when they arrive. Each family also assigned a girl, which can be regarded as a well-arranged arrangement.
When Mrs. Zhu entered the house, she looked around with bright eyes.
When has she ever lived in such a decent house? Although it is not much bigger than the Su family's house before, what kind of house is the Su family? The house is cramped and small, how can it be so bright.
Look at this door, this window, this courtyard, that is only for rich families to live in.
Brother Dong, Brother Ming, and Brother Yuan entered the door, and they were having fun and running around the yard. Even Su Xiucai and Mrs. Wu couldn't help but see a trace of joy on his face, as expected, everyone likes good things.
As long as Mrs. Zhu thinks that she will be able to live in this kind of courtyard and be a wife and grandmother in the future, she can't help being excited. But when she saw the girl trotting out from inside, her face immediately pulled down.
"Why are you here, who made you here?!"
This girl is bluegrass.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhu was so fierce and vicious, Lancao was so frightened that she trembled, she bravely whispered: "This servant is a girl sent by the palace to do chores."
"Our family doesn't want you, let the palace replace someone!"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Su family, even a small steward of the outer court who was arranged by Fucheng to bring Yao and Su's family to settle down, felt that the Zhu family was very unreasonable.
Not only unreasonable, but also ridiculous.
When the steward heard this, his brows and eyes moved, but his face remained expressionless.
But since standing here, it represents the majesty of the palace, Su Yucheng immediately scolded: "Will you mother-in-law speak, if you can't speak, shut up."
"Where did I make a mistake, that is, the servants arranged by the palace, can I change it?" Seeing that even the father-in-law was staring at him, Zhu said softly: "Otherwise, it would be okay to change with the Yao family." , Didn’t you say that both of them gave girls?”
The manager ignored her, and bowed his hands to Su Xiucai and Su Yucheng: "As long as it's all right, I'll take my leave."
Su Yucheng said the woman's ignorant jokes, sent the steward out, and then turned back.
As for Zhu's opinion, it was naturally ignored by the Su family collectively.
Zhu Shi was very angry, and then she thought that as long as she kept an eye on her, she would not believe what this little fairy could do. Besides, it's not that she has no means to deal with this little goblin, she must make her cry for her father and mother, and she can't wait to go away by herself.
Not to mention these things, after settling down, Su Xiucai, Su's father and son, and Yao Cheng each went on errands.
Su Xiucai and Yao Cheng are both back to their old professions, and the King of Jin has said hello in advance, so it is unlikely that they will be squeezed out. After going for two days, I was radiant and made a few friends. But Su Yu's achievements were miserable. He was a newcomer to the Army and Horse Division of the Five Cities, and had neither served in the army nor practiced martial arts before. As soon as he arrived at the place, he was dragged to practice. It is said that he is so weak, let alone catching thieves, I am afraid that ordinary people can't catch it.
They were all in accordance with the military standard. Su Yucheng had never suffered before, so how could he stand it? Wu's heart felt sorry for her son, but she didn't dare to say that she wouldn't let him go. Because she knew it was in exchange for her two grandsons, if she didn't cherish it, her daughter would be sacrificed in vain.
I can only do a good job every day to replenish Su Yucheng's body, and comfort him that if he endures it, he will pass. And Su Yucheng probably didn't want what he said earlier, so he slapped him in the face later and went back, trying his best to hold on.
As for Mrs. Zhu, she saw that Su Yucheng was so tired every day, so she guessed that he didn't have the energy to hook up with the little goblin. In addition, there is a maid in the family now, and the three children are watched by Mrs. Wu, so life should not be too comfortable. So he ran around the whole alley during the day, met many women, and began to gossip about the streets and alleys every day.
On this day, Su Yucheng came back from Wucheng Bingmasi, sweaty and exhausted.
Mrs. Zhu was not at home, Brother Ming asked Mrs. Wu to watch over the children, and Su Xiucai hadn't come back yet, so Lancao went to boil a large bucket of hot water and mentioned it to the east chamber.
"Master, you are tired, wash and change your clothes first. Dinner will not be eaten until later, if you are hungry, there are steamed buns from the morning in the kitchen."
Su Yucheng was obviously very tired, so he hurriedly stood up and took the bucket over.
"Thanks a lot."
When he came back every day these days, Lancao was there to help him out. Sometimes Mrs. Zhu was there, sometimes not. But even though Mrs. Zhu was there, she just watched from the side with her hands clasped, unwilling to even move her lips, and deliberately found fault from time to time. Thinking of the nonsense that Mrs. Zhu had scolded Lancao, Su Yucheng became restless for a while, and wanted to comfort Lancao with a few words, but he didn't know where to say it.
"Slaves don't work hard, this is the job of slaves. Master, you can wash first, slaves go out first."
Su Yucheng nodded, watching her slender back disappearing outside the door with complicated eyes.
When Mrs. Zhu entered the courtyard gate, she saw the little goblin coming out of the east chamber. She rushed in hastily, and met Su Yucheng's eyes on the spot before she could take it back. Thinking about the situation just now, what else did she not understand? of.
She picked up a vase at hand and threw it at it. In the past, Su Yucheng would have been hit right. However, he has been trained hard these days, and it is not a fake training, so he narrowly escaped.
Turning his head to look at the broken vase hitting the wall behind him, and then at Zhu's rough and arrogant appearance, Su Yucheng felt disgusted and angry, and shouted: "What are you doing!"
"What am I doing? Let me ask you what you are doing, who let you be alone with that little bitch, what do you two want to do?"
Su Yucheng was full of exhaustion, "I didn't do anything, but Lancao saw me coming back from the outside and fetched water for me to bathe. Can you stop looking for things all day long?"
"I'm looking for trouble? What am I looking for? It's still broad daylight, not blue sky, did you two roll into the same bed after washing? I just see that girl is restless and has arranged so many jobs for her all day long." She still has the time to get close to you if she's exhausted. She's a little bitch, a bitch, with a goblin face, seducing men... "
While scolding, Mrs. Zhu rushed out, rushed into the kitchen and dragged the orchid grass out of it.
Lancao's face was full of tears, obviously she heard Zhu's curse words.
Mrs. Zhu slapped her and yelled at her, cursing at the same time: "You still have the face to cry, why are you crying? You gave birth to Zhang Xiaoxue, you owe it to a man, you just like being pressed by a man so much, and you sneak into the room. My old lady tear you apart..."
"I don't have any, my servant just brought hot water for the uncle..." Lancao explained while hiding, crying.
Wu Shi was in the room, but was surprised to come out. Seeing this scene, she was stunned.
"Mr. Zhu, what are you doing? Why are you beating someone for no reason... Yucheng..."
It was Su Yucheng who rushed out of the room, rescued the orchid grass from Mrs. Zhu, and threw Mrs. Zhu to the ground.
"Have you had enough trouble, have you had enough trouble?!"
Mrs. Zhu couldn't recover from the fall for a long time, and she was probably frightened by Su Yucheng's appearance. She sat up on her buttocks, patted her thigh and cried, "I'm making trouble, what's wrong with me. I gave birth to three grandchildren for your old Su family, and now you think I'm fat and always think I'm ugly. To put it bluntly, you are Look at this little goblin! Su Yucheng, do you still have a conscience, your conscience has been eaten by a dog, and none of you named Su is a good person! When you wanted to marry me, you didn’t look like this... "
He was the one who was blind at the beginning, and among the girls the matchmaker said, the Zhu family was the one who was outstanding, so he chose her, preferring to let the family pay a few taels of silver for the bride price. It's a pity that the one who married back was a lazy woman with a lazy heart.
It's not that Su Yucheng has never had a fight with Mrs. Zhu, but every time Mrs. Zhu is messing around, playing crazy, and taking it back to her natal family as a trump card every now and then. Although he is idle and afraid of hardship and burden, he is not an unworthy descendant who doesn't know how to sympathize with his parents. It is not easy for his parents to marry a wife for him, and there are still children waiting to be fed at home, so he bows his head every time.
Retiring once, retreating again and again, Zhu's habit made her more arrogant and domineering.
Su Yucheng thought, let's live like this, whoever is not like this can only be regarded as his unlucky luck. But I don't know whether he went to Wucheng Bingmasi to meet the market, or met someone better than Zhu Shi, and felt the tenderness and consideration of a woman. He didn't want to bear her more and more, and hated her more and more.
"You are enough! Are you bothered by using this trick? At the beginning, the widow of the Xue family was driven away by you, and now you are such a mess! Let me tell you, Mrs. Zhu, although I have many problems , but I can't do that kind of stupid thing. If I fancy a woman, I will marry her. I won't let her follow me without a name and no distinction, let alone hang out secretly. Besides, I also know Who am I, I have no ability, so you can rest assured... "
At first Su Yucheng was very angry when he said this, but he didn't know if it was because he was really tired or what, but he was full of helplessness.
Mrs. Zhu seized the bait and cursed: "Who do you want to marry? If you like this little goblin, just say it. You know that you are incapable and incompetent. I just pretend that you don't know how much you weigh. !"
The courtyard was full of Zhu's sharp and mocking voices. The three children were too frightened to hide in the house and did not dare to come out. Wu stood in front of the main room, crying and yelling for innocence.
Lancao stood aside, looking at the man standing there with a tired face, feeling inexplicably distressed.
Su Yu didn't grow up to be called handsome, at most he could only be called gentle and upright, but he was tall and thin, and with a smile on his face, he could attract the attention of many girls and women. Zhu Shi is afraid because she understands, and when she is afraid, she will speak unscrupulously, but her words are too hurtful, Lancao can clearly see the pain hidden in Su Yucheng's eyes.
She clearly knew that she should avoid suspicion, but she couldn't help explaining for Su Yucheng: "Madam, don't say that about uncle, uncle is a good person."
Zhu Shi was already furious, but when the culprit spoke, how could she let her go. Immediately, he ran over from the ground, grabbed Lancao's arm, and gave her two slaps.
"You smelly and shameless little bitch, the man who dares to seduce my mother, I will kill you..."
Zhu's physique is huge, but Lancao is petite, how can she be her opponent. Unable to fight back, she was slapped severely several times. Zhu Shi heartily raised her hand and wanted to hit again, but someone grabbed her arm from behind.
Su Yucheng was furious, pulled Lancao behind him, and shook off Zhu's hand: "Are you finished, have you had enough trouble?"
"You are hanging out with this little bitch, and I am not allowed to make trouble. Let me tell you, Su Yucheng, you can't protect her. If you have the ability, you can watch her at home every day!"
Looking at Zhu's smug and vicious face, and then at Lancao's face that was flushed red from the beating, she tried her best not to cry. Su Yucheng felt something explode in his head, and said with a sneer, "You're right, I just took a fancy to her and planned to marry her. Not only that, I also planned to divorce you!"
Zhu's face was full of disbelief. After seeing that Su Yucheng's expression was not fake, she said without hesitation: "Do you dare to divorce me? Try it, Su Yucheng, I will let my father and my natal brother smash you up." The Su family."
Su Yucheng sneered: "Try, let your father and brother come to the capital from Linyun County and smash my Su family."
It was only then that Mrs. Zhu realized that she was in the capital, not in Linyun County. Her father who was a butcher, and her natal brothers were not there.
She threatened in a panic: "Su Yucheng, if you dare to divorce me, don't forget that I gave birth to three sons for your Su family."
Seeing Su Yucheng's unmoved face, she cried and howled, thinking of Mrs. Wu: "Mother, look at your son, he actually said he wants to divorce me!"
Mrs. Wu, who was standing on the door frame with a tired face, shook her hands weakly: "You have always been big-minded, don't look for me, I'm old, I can't take care of your affairs anymore."
Seeing the door of the main room closed in front of his eyes, there was no movement inside.
Zhu's heart panicked, but when she looked back at the couple, she was not willing to show weakness: "You wait for Su Yucheng, and when Dad comes back, I will definitely tell Dad about this and ask him to make the decision."
Leaving those words behind, she hid back in the East Chamber and locked the door from the inside.
After losing his temper, Su Yucheng was exhausted physically and mentally.
He was a little embarrassed, and smiled helplessly at Lancao: "I'm sorry, I hurt you again. Just now, don't think too much about what I said just now. I was also short-tempered, so I brought you up. I want to divorce her , has nothing to do with you..." At the end of the sentence, he couldn't continue, he hurriedly dropped a sentence, don't think about it, and went to the West Wing where no one lived.
And Lancao looked at his back, and didn't know what he was thinking.
