Old Mrs. Qiao felt a little awkward in her heart, and she pulled Chen Cang's sleeves and burst into tears.
Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao Er just felt that she couldn't sit still. Today is the second brother of the Shen family's family's happiness. Her mother-in-law cried like this, which was really a bad intention.
The two of them did not dare to see Chen Cang, so they looked at Xu in a bit of embarrassment.
This is too rude.
Xu sat down at Shen Cang's head, only doing nothing but seeing him.
Old Mrs. Qiao was already choking and said, "Brother Cang, Brother Cang... Auntie is not good..."
Chen Cang was quite surprised. His aunt was a very strong-willed person by nature. Even if the family was in a downturn, it would be difficult to see her bow down. If she had no desires, how could this be?
"Auntie, is this feeling uncomfortable recently? Did you hire an imperial physician?" Chen Cang asked with a little concern.
Old Mrs. Qiao said what she prepared, and then she held it back.
She is nearly 70 years old and is at the age of avoiding talking about life and death, but her nephew in front of her is cursing her as if she is sick.
Even if she wanted to speak with this, she couldn't hear others say this.
Xu said from the sidelines: "This cannot be absent from the illness and avoiding the doctor, otherwise wouldn't it worry about the two cousins?"
While she said this, she swept towards Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao Er.
Although these two wives are both forty-year-old, they are not from the Shen family after all, and the two female relatives do not avoid foreign men?
Before the master came back, Xu wanted to invite the two wives of the Qiao family to have tea, but was stopped by Mrs. Qiao.
Old Mrs. Qiao is just "relying on her seniority", thinking that her nephew and his nephew's wife would not slap her in the face in front of her two daughters-in-law.
But if she is shameless, why do others still give Qiao's face?
Do you really think that the couple will ask for it at will? They are the Shen family's son and the Shen family's daughter-in-law, but they are not related to the Qiao family.
Mrs. Qiao only felt embarrassed, but Mrs. Qiao Er didn't know her mother-in-law. The purpose of the eldest sister-in-law coming today was that she felt that her mother-in-law was a bit unusual, just like a performer. The Shen couple was too cold.
Old Mrs. Qiao heard what Xu said, and cursed Xu a few words in her heart, but she still looked at Chen Cang and sighed: "As aged, she is full of problems, this is an old disease, how can the imperial doctor cure life and death ?No wonder my sister often falls into dreams recently...I am going to pick me up..."
Speaking of this, she was really sad.
Life is rare in seventy years old. She is already old, and she has a few great-grandsons and great-grandchildren. However, the eldest son is not good, the second son is not reliable, and the third son is on duty. The Qiao family has become a low-ranking family from the past. A family of officials.
In the year of "Beijing Inspection" last year, if Chen Cang was really willing to take the Qiao family, how could he let Master Qiao still have his original position?
The Shen family is full of flowers, and even the younger generation starts to seek fame. The Qiao family has six grandsons, but not even a scholar.
Even if the fifth and sixth brothers can pass the hospital examination next year, it depends on how much effort they have to do in the provincial examination. I don’t know how many subjects I have to study in the provincial examination. When I can enter the officialdom, I will probably have to take ten or twenty years. Then I will be old. The third brother has retired.
The Qiao family's failure will only lead to a decline. The sooner it is said that the marriage is, but due to the limitations of the family, the marriage between the grandson and granddaughter is not very ideal, and there is no in-law that can be counted on.
However, the Shen family is not like that. Although the next generation is thin, the cousins are young, but the other tribes of the Shen family are all in the officialdom, and there is also a top scholar. After more than ten years, Shen Da Master, Mr. Shen Daer-er retired, he was really the backbone there.
The more Mrs. Qiao thought about it, the sadder she became, and Chen Cang couldn't help but be moved.
No matter how confused Mrs. Qiao is, after all, she is her own aunt. The couple's two elders who are close relatives are only one person left.
Chen Cang's expression slowed down and said, "There are so many people in this world who live a long life. My aunt has always been healthy and will definitely live a long life for a hundred years."
Xu's husband and wife followed him, so he also called his maid to go to the water to clean his face for Mrs. Qiao.
As for Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao Er and two, they could only cry with Mrs. Qiao.
Old Mrs. Qiao stopped crying, cleansed her face, looked at Chen Cang with a loving face and said, "The days passed so quickly. I still remember the scene when you just landed. She was thin and small, weighing less than five pounds. ... When others see you, they are worried. Only my sister will only smile when she sees you, hold you in her arms and keep you from letting go... Until the second brother lands, my sister will take care of you in person..."
When Chenzhou landed, Chen Cang was already five years old, and he was at the age of remembering. How could he forget Ci'en?
Even after Chen Zhou was born, the third old lady valued Chen Cang more. In addition to Chen Cang being the eldest son, Chen Cang's body was weaker than Chen Zhou, which made the third old lady feel guilty, thinking that she had not raised her well when she was pregnant, and It was premature birth that made the eldest son weak. He stared at him like an eyeball. After more than ten years of treatment, Chen Cang looked similar to an ordinary child.
Although the third old lady has a little soft-hearted ears, she is a kind mother. She not only treats her two sons as precious as jade, but also takes care of her concubines.
Just like when the third master landed, the mistress of someone else's family would definitely think that the concubine's son would split the family property. However, the third old lady happily wrote it in her name and said to her two sons: "Treat your brother well." , You will have more arms in the future…”
The third old lady is not a cruel person, but she valued her son too much. Although she made the lord and retired from marriage, she was not guilty of Sun. When Xu left the capital to send marriage to Sun, the third old lady sold her Half of his dowry was given to Xu in private by exchange for gold and silver, hoping to make up for Sun.
But Xu didn't dare to be self-dedicated. Although he didn't report it to the third master, he also told her husband quietly.
Chen Cang kept the gold and silver, not because he was reluctant to let go of his mother's dowry, but because he was afraid that the third master would become even more angry when he found out.
The dowry is the private wealth of the three old ladies, but the Shen family's property in Beijing was mostly bought by Grandpa Sun in the past. The Sun family is not short of money. If the Shen family really wants to send money, it will really hurt the two families. friendship.
However, in order to make the third old lady feel at ease, Chen Cang did not ask his wife to return the gold and silver to her. When the second master was separated, Chen Cang gave the gold and silver to the second master privately.
The happier the days in the early years, the colder the days in the future, and the initiator of all this is the person in front of you.
My parents passed away in their sixties and didn't even see their grandson.
Thinking of the past, Chen Cang felt his headache getting worse and worse, and his eyes became darker. He stroked his forehead and stood up and said, "I am a little uncomfortable, let Xu talk to my aunt..." After that, he had already gotten up without waiting for the old lady Qiao to react. The inner room.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qiao family were stunned. Old Mrs. Qiao sang and chanted for a while, and didn't say a serious word. Looking at Chen Cang's back, she almost vomited half of her mouthful of blood.
However, Xu couldn't help but feel disgusted. He hurriedly served tea and said to the Qiao mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Auntie, two cousins, my master is ill, I want to spend less time with you..."
Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao were speechless, but Old Mrs. Qiao refused to leave.
She lowered her face and said, "Brother Cang is in poor health and hasn't come to see the imperial doctor. I am his biological aunt, how can I leave at this time?"
She just thought Chen Cang was pretending to be sick and was very embarrassed and annoyed, so she wanted to leave a "exposure".
Xu had already turned cold and ordered the mother to invite the imperial physician, and asked the maid to invite Shen Rui.
Shen Rui had already sent the guests and was going to come to the main courtyard. He heard that the Qiao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were there, so he didn't come.
The Qiao family doesn’t like him, and he doesn’t like the Qiao family. Now they are tired of seeing each other.
Hearing that Mr. Shen was in poor health, Shen Rui hurried over.
After a hurry to the Qiao mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Shen Rui went to the inner room.
Chen Cang lay on the bed side, his face as pale, no blood was seen, his brows were furrowed, and he rubbed his temples with one hand, unable to hide the pain.
Shen Rui was shocked and hurried forward: "Father, you are..."
Chen Cang slowly opened his eyes and said with a forced smile: "Second brother, don't worry, I'm just tired, let's turn it up first...
Chen Cang had a chronic illness and had been sick twice a year ago. Because he was old, even if he recovered, his mental and physical strength was not as good as before.
Shen Rui said with guilt: "It must be because of his son that his father has suffered."
Inviting guests to drink and interact with others is more laborious than working in the yamen office.
Chen Cang waved his hand gently and said, "What are you talking about? I'm very happy today. My second brother is a good person...
Seeing that his voice was reluctant, Shen Rui did not induce him to speak, and just sat next to him worriedly.
Listening to the voice of the inner room, Old Mrs. Qiao looked at Xu with a sarcasm on her face.
Xu was very worried, and seeing Mrs. Qiao like this, she was also angry.
It is not difficult to choose whether it is an elder like Xu Ying or to accompany her husband and son.
Xu got up and told the woman, "Go and arrange a carriage and take the old lady and her two cousins back."
Before Old Mrs. Qiao could speak, Xu had already said to Mrs. Qiao. Mrs. Qiao Er said, "I really don't want to keep guests. Please take care of you..." After that, he followed him to the inner room. When he walked to the door, he ordered the two behind him. The maid said, "Don't be noisy, so that the master will not be quiet."
Old Mrs. Qiao was so vomiting that she got up and wanted to follow Xu to the inner room.
The two maids were like goalkeepers, blocking in front of the inner room.
Old Mrs. Qiao was about to have an attack, and Mrs. Qiao had already held the arm of Mrs. Qiao before her death, and whispered and begged: "Old lady, it is not advisable to tear her face..."
Old Mrs. Qiao hesitated.
Will she still have to endure her nephew and his wife don’t give her face like this?
But if you can't bear it, the stakes of Qiao Chen's two families may be completely broken down. What should you do if your children and grandchildren do?
After all, it was Gu Nian's flesh and blood. Old Mrs. Qiao's face turned red and then retreated to her seat.
Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao Er whispered several times, no matter whether Mr. Shen was really sick or false, since the Shen family said this, what was the point of staying here to expose it?
Old Mrs. Qiao calmed down and understood this truth. She hung her face and helped her two daughters-in-law out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the second door, I saw the Shen family's mother bringing an imperial physician over hurriedly.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qiao family couldn't help but look strange...
