Chapter 17: Household Affair
Different from the calmness of Yimei Courtyard, in the main courtyard, Mrs. Feng's face was livid. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up the teacup in her hand and threw it to the ground. The teacup fell to the ground with a "bang" and was broken into pieces.
The girls and women inside didn't dare to express their anger, and hurriedly picked up the pieces in a muffled voice.
"She has a poor settlement! I have not cared about her these years, but she has become more and more aggressive!" Mrs. Feng looked at the second room and gritted her teeth and sneered, "Such a scourge, the Chong'an Marquis Mansion has no shame to embarrass her! Sooner or later, let her go.
out--"
"Madam!" Nanny Zhao screamed in shock, stopped Madam Feng's words, and advised with a worried expression, "Madam, please be careful, after all, she is the second wife of the Lin family, and the second master... is also the brother of the Marquis.
…”
"What kind of brothers?" Mrs. Feng glared at Nanny Zhao angrily, but her voice lowered, but the anger in her eyes was not reduced at all. She said sarcastically, "She's just a concubine's wife! The Marquis and his third brother are biological relatives.
Brother!"
Aunt Zhao and Nie Nie did not dare to say anything. Mrs. Feng wanted to say more, but the girl Yan'er came in with a trembling voice and reported that grandma Qian had returned from her parents' home and was coming to the yard. Mrs. Feng took a deep breath and forced herself to hold down the words.
Angry in his heart, he asked the girl to invite Grandma Qian into the house with a cold face.
At this time, in the small courtyard to the east of the main courtyard, Aunt Zheng was staring at Lin Zhi, whose eyes were red with a look of hatred, frowning and sighing.
"They want to sing, why are you going to help them? I've told you so many times! Madam doesn't want to see you, why are you rushing up to be bullied?"
Lin Zhi's tears rolled down her face and she cried silently. Her thin figure stood in the yard, which made people feel pitiful. But Aunt Zheng frowned and raised her voice and cursed: "Why are you crying? I am
How did you teach me this? It only works if you cry in front of your father and your man! It’s useless for women! It’s even more useless for your mother and me!”
Lin Zhi looked up at Aunt Zheng with tears in her eyes, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face. Although the tears no longer flowed, her expression was a little sad. She twitched the corner of her mouth in a self-deprecating way and sneered at Aunt Zheng: "Auntie, all I know is
Are you angry at me? It’s not like you don’t know the reason why Madam holds your daughter in her hands! I’m already this age, but there’s no one in the family who wants to get married! My aunt said she wanted my father, but he doesn’t care about the affairs of the inner court! Please
Is it useful? Now if I don’t ask for my wife, why should I ask for my aunt?”
Aunt Zheng's breath was stuck in her throat, but she couldn't find the words to argue. Her face turned purple with anger, and she glared at Lin Zhi fiercely. She raised her hand and was about to slap her, but she gradually lost her momentum in Lin Zhi's straight eyes.
His hands also dropped. After a long while, he stomped his feet and flung his sleeves away.
The second Mrs. Yang still didn't calm down. When Mrs. Feng asked her mother-in-law to fight her out, she went crazy and cursed all the way. The women who were watching frowned! Fortunately, Mrs. Feng in this house has strict restraints. Such scandals
That must not be spread out. But because of this, Mrs. Yang found someone to rely on and became more and more arrogant!
"Let go!" Mrs. Yang bit the old woman's wrist, which was holding her arm. The old woman felt pain and quickly retracted her hand. She looked at Mrs. Yang in disbelief with a look of horror on her face. Mrs. Yang broke away from the other woman.
One man, with a messy hair on his head, rushed up to the woman and slapped her twice. He took two steps back and cursed with his hands on his hips: "What a rebel! You slave dog! You even dare to bully your master! I'll beat you to death!"
"As he said this, he shouted towards the second room.
Because the place was right at the door of the second bedroom's courtyard, several maids and women rushed out in the blink of an eye. They hesitated for a moment, but no one dared to come forward. Second Mrs. Yang glared at her dowry, Aunt Gui, and shouted: "
Why don't you beat these dog slaves to death for me!"
Aunt Gui was stunned for a moment, and then she grabbed a few little girls and rushed them aggressively. The door of the second room suddenly became a mess, with everything in a mess.
Mrs. Yang Er was watching the fight between the mother-in-law and the maids with great interest, and she did not forget to cheer for her. From time to time she yelled "dog slave" twice. From the corner of her eye, she inadvertently caught sight of Mr. Lin Er, who was hurried back and then turned to leave.
Immediately his eyebrows rose, he ran towards Mr. Lin Er, and shouted sternly: "Where are you going?"
Master Lin Er glanced at Mrs. Yang Er boredly, but walked faster and faster. Mrs. Yang Er saw Master Lin Er walking further and further away, she jumped in anger and cursed: "Lin Zhiqing, stop! You can't even do an errand."
You can’t get it back! You have the nerve to leave! You’re not a man!”
Mr. Lin Er paused, turned to Mrs. Yang Er and sneered: "You are right, I am not a man! If I were a man, I would have divorced you, a vicious woman!" After that, he turned and walked out.
Mrs. Yang Er was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red with anger, she spat at Master Lin Er's back and started to curse.
The Marquis Mansion of Chong'an was "busy".
The Yuan family has been very lively these days. Due to the Double Ninth Festival flower party, Mrs. Leng, the eldest wife of the Yuan family, and Mrs. Zhou, the second wife of the Yuan family, have been busy these days. For one thing, autumn has just passed, and there are many people.
Students are gathering in the capital, and the eldest master of the Yuan family is also a secretary of the Imperial College, so this flower party is also a literary party, so there is a lot to prepare for. Secondly, the two ladies of the Yuan family also want to take the place of Miss Yuan San——Lin
Lan's sister-in-law, Yuan Yan, is the picker of people. In this way, the Double Ninth Festival flower party is particularly important.
Mrs. Zhou also had her mind set on choosing a girl for her second son, but her son had no intention of getting married. Alas, thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou felt sad and angry. If it hadn't been for that accident.
, why is her brother Huan like this! Nowadays, even a fifth-grade Beijing official can pick on brother Huan, let alone those rich and snobbish families in the capital! If you ask her, she really likes him
I married that sister from the Lin family. But comparing my feelings, as a mother, Mrs. Liu San would probably be extremely reluctant. What’s more, Mrs. Liu San also has Uncle Chengyi’s Mansion behind her, and Mrs. Wang in that house loves her granddaughter very much!
Mrs. Zhou felt extremely sour, and while wiping away her tears, she considered whether to ask Mrs. Wang for help. Apart from some inconveniences in her legs and feet, what else was wrong with her son? Mrs. Wang understood the situation, and might be willing to do so!
Hey, this matter is not urgent. Let’s wait and choose a girl who can suit Brother Huan’s wishes. Brother Huan has a good temper and doesn’t talk much, but he has big ideas. If he doesn’t like this girl,
It actually hurts this girl. If you want her to see it, Brother Huan will most likely fall in love with the Lin family sister. That girl makes people happy just looking at her!
"Where is the Third Master?" Mrs. Zhou thought to herself and asked the girl casually.
"I'm writing in the study!" Bi He squeezed Mrs. Zhou's shoulders and said with a smile, "Just now I saw the seventh master of the Wang family coming to look for the third master. I think he will go out soon."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and ordered: "Ask the kitchen to send some pasta and snacks. Be smart and see what is missing in the third master's room and send it over later."
Bihe hurriedly responded, went out and straightened his clothes, then took the girl who was carrying the basin to the side, took a careful look at the water, curled up, and went to Yuan Sanlang's yard with a pursed smile.
In the main courtyard of the Yuan family's main room, Lin Lan was discussing the flower party with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Leng. Mrs. Leng made a few remarks from time to time with a cold face, obviously not in a good mood. Lin Lan accompanied her carefully and watched all the way.
Madam Leng spoke with an expression on her face, but was finally interrupted by Madam Leng's words: "Have you fallen in love with that girl Cuiling?"
Lin Lan was startled, then smiled bitterly in her heart. "That girl was so clumsy that she broke the vase in my study. My daughter-in-law thought that I was afraid that my husband would be unhappy, so she sent her to the laundry room to reflect on herself for two days. She would pick her up when my anger subsided."
return."
Leng glanced at Lin Lan coldly, "That girl has been with Da Lang for so many years and has always served him well. She has an extraordinary relationship with Da Lang. Even if she loses her hand, she will just break a dead thing. Why?
Has Da Lang been annoyed? Besides, the laundry room and the girl who has been serving Da Lang, how can she bear such heavy work! How many times have I told you! When you enter my Yuan family, you must be a woman, especially if you are jealous
You can't touch the two words! Cuiling is just a girl, so you can't tolerate her? The man is almost thirty, and he still doesn't have a brother! How did you become a wife? "
Lin Lan smiled even more bitterly in her heart. Her thin and thin body was a little unsteady, but she still forced a smile and listened respectfully to Leng's lecture. At the end, she blamed herself: "My mother has taught me a lesson, and my wife knows she is wrong. Wife."
I’ll ask Miss Cuiling to come back right now.”
"You've already become depressed, why did you invite her back? Those who don't know think that my mother-in-law is deliberately making things difficult for you and not giving you face! Forget it, this girl Yue He has been with me for these years and has always been honest and honest.
It's also neat, I'll give it to you today, you can take her over and let her serve the Dalang instead of Cuiling."
Lin Lan agreed with a bitter mouth and a pale face.
