Chapter 59: Branch office

Views:

Dividing the East and West mansions is just the first step for Guan Suyi to clear the relationship between the Hou mansion and the mansion. If she still can't live in peace, even if she can't reconcile, she will be able to find a way to live in Zhuangzi in the future. In this life, she is not a prostitute who has lost her virginity and disobedience, but a high-ranking lady in the family. Who dares to neglect her? Wouldn’t it be nice to eat and drink outside, and go out to travel to the mountains and rivers from time to time

Thinking like this, she finally fell in love with Zhao Luli, and decided, "In that case, please ask Hou Ye to invite your younger brother and sister, and let's settle the matter of the branch office."

The more Zhao Luli listened to, the more he felt that the future was bleak. Why should the Ye family squeeze their moon silver, house, food, and clothes? Could it be that Lord Hou was not good enough for them in the past? People can't be so rude! The Hou Ye was also confused, so just as his wife said, why not rent a house for them outside to live in? If you have to get it into the house, you will get smoky everywhere. After a long time, he didn't want to stay in the East Mansion. What if he could find a way to deploy to the West Mansion

Not only was this eldest son unhappy, but the maids who served Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu also had a gloomy face, and they were already thinking in their hearts how to transfer to the West Mansion. That's why, when Zhao Luli went to invite the second lady, he shouted several times before a woman came forward to take orders.

A quarter of an hour later, a series of screams came from outside, mixed with words such as "Ghost, Rakshasa is here", followed by a chaotic sound of ping, ping and pong, and wailing and groaning, who was in a panic Knocked down tables and chairs, causing a mess.

Thinking of Madam's usual attitude of showing neither pity nor disgust when she saw her younger brother and sister, and seeing the embarrassed appearance of Ye's family in panic and shouting, Zhao Luli's face flushed with embarrassment, and he gradually began to doubt that he was right to bring them home for resettlement. is wrong. Just this family education, this way of doing things, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the Hou Mansion, but he has been riding a tiger and has no choice but to manage.

After a while, Mrs. Ruan dragged Mu Mu, who had a terrified face, into the inner hall, her head lowered, and she covered her face with her hands, and murmured, "Master Hou, I couldn't help but frightened those coquettish guests outside your family."

Zhao Luli felt ashamed and waved his hands quickly, "It's their rudeness, it's up to me to apologize to my younger brother and sister, and I also ask my younger brother and sister to forgive me."

Ruan Shi reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips, and took a few steps forward to greet her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. There was no more thorn in her voice, "Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, why did you come to me?" Mu Mu said a little while talking. She didn't even recognize her life, so she walked to Guan Suyi's side, put her two short hands on her knees, opened her mouth wide, and made a cornering "ah" sound.

Guan Suyi's cold face could no longer hang, she smiled lowly, and immediately looked at his throat, and said with relief, "It took only two days for the swelling to subside, which is very good. Can you eat hard things?"

Nguyen Thi smiled, "Actually, I was much better that night. The next day, he dragged me to beg for food. I think he was very hungry. It's hard for him to stay silent for so long. Very few, and I don’t know how painful it is to swallow those vegetables and meat.”

"This is a child who can endure, and there will be success in the future. However, it is not enough to endure blindly. You have to know how to fight, so let him learn how to speak. Brother and sister don't need to worry, I will teach him slowly." Guan Suyi tempted He picked up a piece of cake and coaxed, "Mu Mu, come to mother's arms, mother will feed you cake."

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Mu got into his adoptive mother's arms, and didn't dare to bite the cake. He just stared at Guan Suyi with his black eyes, and saw Guan Suyi's heart. Hold his small chin so that the pastry residue does not fall into the placket.

If she is sincere and good to someone, that water-like tenderness can almost overflow from her gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, as if her whole person is emitting a shimmer, which makes people unable to move their eyes and is deeply attracted. Mu Mu loved this fragrant, beautiful, powerful, and very amiable adoptive mother, and a small short hand was secretly wrapped around her arm, so she went to bite the cake.

Zhao Wangshu was stunned, and suddenly turned his head away with red eyes. It turned out that the stepmother not only has a strict side, but also a gentle side, just like the mother he imagined. It's just that she wouldn't treat him like that. She didn't like him, and she could feel it from the beginning.

Zhao Luli was also full of emotion, thinking that if he hadn't hurt his wife's heart, his wife would have taken care of Wang Shu and Xi'er like this. What kind of sins did he do to break up a good family. I hope there will be a chance to make up for it in the future. At the end, I remembered the conversation between the two sisters, so I asked my mother what happened to Mu Mu, and was reprimanded again. Fan.

Guan Suyi and Ruan shi listened silently without interrupting, waiting for the old lady to let out a bad breath before they began to talk about business. Nguyen has long been fed up with the Ye family. She heard that the West Mansion will be established in the name of her husband, and she will live alone with her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, and she is naturally happy. Everyone agreed that the old lady would build the wall herself, and immediately let the steward go to recruit the craftsmen, and the work would start immediately, and she could not wait for a moment.

Seeing his mother, who was eager to get rid of the Ye family, Zhao Luli could only smile bitterly. After the maid had collected the map and cleaned the table, he poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands, knelt down and held it high, saying with guilt, "Mother, over the years, you have You have taken a lot of care for me. If you hadn't been in charge of the central feed, this family would not be what this family would be like. Not only did I not care about everything, but I also often rebelled and made you angry. Your migraine problem is probably caused by my anger. My son is not filial, and I don't know if it will be too late to make amends. Thinking about it, I really regret it! My son will enter the palace tomorrow to plead guilty. If you can't get out of your body, you and your wife will live in the West Mansion. I can rest assured that she will take care of you. It's good. My son still has some property, and I will leave it to you to take care of it, so that you will not worry about your livelihood in the future."

Is this a last word? The old lady groaned in her heart, her heart was broken, but she couldn't bring her face to reconcile with her son, and snorted coldly, "I'm dim-witted and my energy is low, so how can I take care of it for you. Why don't you hand it over to your daughter-in-law?"

"Give it to her, is she willing to take it?" Zhao Luli smiled wryly. He's not really blind, he just doesn't dare to look at everything around him. Madam had torn apart even the cost of food and clothing with the Hou Mansion. Unlike the Ruan family, she called out to her mother-in-law one by one, calling only the old lady. It was obvious that she never regarded herself as a Zhao family member. But this can't blame her. Thinking about the things she has done, who can have no grudges? Who can be willing to suffer? She is a proud and arrogant Guan family, and she is not an ordinary woman. She must not be slighted, negligent, or even insulted.

Guan Suyi pursed her lips and did not speak.

The room fell into dead silence, and the awkward atmosphere permeated for a while, before listening to the old lady coldly say, "You put the account books and other items in the main courtyard for the time being, and take them back when you return home safely. If you can't get over this hurdle, you don't need to Explain, I will also hand over the property to Suyi, I can rest assured that she is capable, she can support both of you!"

Zhao Luli finally smiled briskly and agreed, "Mother is right, Madam is really capable, we can rest assured that we will hand over the house to her. My son will go to settle the Ye family's family, and we will not let them disturb you before the separation of the house. ."

The old lady nodded indiscriminately, and when her son left the inner hall with a son and a daughter, she sighed softly, her eyes red with wet eyes.

There were vague voices from outside, and there seemed to be cheers of joy, and then he heard his son admonishing, "The main courtyard, the main room, and the second room, you'd better not set foot in the main courtyard. If anyone has wicked intentions and loses anything in the three rooms, I have the right to count that person, and I will report it to the officials to deal with it." The voice is - whoever disobeys will be named as a thief and sent to prison. Attitude is very tough.

There was a moment of silence outside, followed by a mixture of quarrels and terrified apologies, and then slowly faded away.

The old lady held her forehead and wept, both happy and worried. The happy thing is that my son is really awakened; the worry is that he has already fallen into the quagmire, and I don't know if he can come out with all his tail. She doesn't hold grudges towards Guan's family or her daughter-in-law. Without these heavy hammers, her son would probably be confused for a lifetime. It would be better to start all over again as he is now.

Zhao Luli finally settled the Ye family, and when he turned his head, he found that his daughter was still following him, with a worried expression on his face. His eyes dimmed, and he took his daughter to the study to speak.

"Dad, what will happen to you when you enter the palace tomorrow?" Will you go to jail? But in the end, she dared not ask.

"I don't know what will happen, Dad, it depends on the emperor's decision." Zhao Luli thoughtfully said, "Xi'er, while no one is there, my father will explain a few words to you. I hope you will grow up quickly and stop thinking about it. You have gone astray. I have always known about your relationship with your mother. When you first saw her, when she rescued you from the cold weather and was helpless, you thought she fit your imagination of your mother, crying and shouting. When you asked her to come to the Hou Mansion, when I asked for the imperial edict of marriage, you found that she was rigid and rigid, which was very unsatisfactory, so she did not show it on the face, but she was always embarrassed behind her back. Xier, father knows all these things, and he can also I understand how you feel. But you have to understand that not everyone in the world has to revolve around you, and not everything is to your liking. If you continue to act like you used to, your mother will not allow you, and neither will my father. Can't indulge you anymore. Have you seen your grandfather? He's the perfect example."

Zhao Chunxi's face was pale, and he was speechless for a long time.

Zhao Luli sighed and said, "Don't resent your mother, everything has nothing to do with her, let alone the Guan family. The emperor's new appointment as the imperial censor must be prestige. The Ye family is only a springboard in his eyes, and the emperor It is the real stepping stone. How much risk and pressure do you think he needs to take to impeach the emperor? The emperor uses him temporarily, and he is the emperor's teacher. If it is no longer needed, every time he impeaches, every time he gets angry , every dignitary who offends will become his talisman in the future. But he has to do it, and he has to do it well, just because the Holy Order is hard to violate, because the world belongs to the emperor, and all of us have to listen to him. The Guan family is amazing. They don't take suffering, but take pride in it. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness. If I can't come back alive, you will take Wang Shu to beg her, listen to her carefully, honor her with sincerity, the Guan family's reputation is outside, and she is beautiful inside, and she will never leave you alone."

"Daddy, stop talking!" Zhao Chunxi threw himself into his father's arms and burst into tears.

However, Zhao Luli couldn't help but explain clearly, "If you don't say how you can do it, there will always be events in the world. Guan's family is right, it's your family that is wrong. I can't tell you what your grandfather did, you just need to know, He confessed his guilt and died, and his death was not wrong at all. You don't need to hold grudges against your mother, or even hatred, because of his tragic death. You must know that there are family rules and national laws. Under the imperial power are all ants. You can stay away from the court and live in peace. Don’t imitate the Ye family’s love of vanity and clinging to the powerful. Your brother is spoiled, and you can’t do things without thinking. Your grandmother and I don’t care. I live with him, but he listens to you the most. If you say that my mother is good, he expects me to marry her; if you say that my mother is not good, he immediately avoids her and goes against her. You must not mislead him in the future, and say more about you. The kind words of your mother, teach him to get close to her. If your mother is happy, you are willing to cultivate him wholeheartedly, and he will have a good future in the future. Your daughter's family may not know the means of shutting down the family, but if you look at the court, now The only ones who can talk about it, except for the prime minister’s lineage, are the emperor and his disciples. With such a strong backer, you will definitely have no worries in your life.”

When the words fell, he burst into tears and sighed, "Don't blame daddy for being incompetent, daddy used to be in the field back then, going up and down, but God's will to make people... You just need to know that your daddy, I'm not really confused, nor am I really confused. I'm really cowardly, but I just have to put on such a pretense to protect our family. Dad is gone, and you are a little confused when you are in trouble. Don't be competitive, and don't focus on climbing up. , your mother…”

He couldn't speak any longer, and cried bitterly while holding his daughter.

Zhao Chunxi was dazed and desperate for a while, but there were no tears left. What exactly did my mother do? Why is she so beautiful, but leaving others only endless pain and bleakness
