"A good girl like Yan Yatou is hard to find even with a lantern, but the master actually despises her." Mrs. Zhou was puzzled.
The old lady looked unhappy, "Have you told my unfilial son that this is what I meant?"
Mrs. Zhou nodded.
The old lady was instantly furious and said, "You traitor, you don't even listen to my words anymore. He's back. Please ask him to come over. I have something to say."
Mrs. Zhou patiently persuaded her mother-in-law, "Mom, don't be angry. With this anger, the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced by three points. It's not a failure of Yan'er's hard work. The master is back, and if I try to persuade him more, he will agree sooner or later."
"
After her persuasion, the old lady's face looked a little better, "Yan'er is so good, so there's no way he can be chosen. In my opinion, he's not worthy."
Mrs. Zhou followed the old lady's wishes and shared the same hatred, "Yes, yes, he is not worthy."
Zhou Bi, who is not worthy of being Li Yan's father, comes in.
The general smell of medicine in the room has not dissipated.
Zhou Bi looked at the two empty bowls on the table, his face turned pale, "Did you drink the medicine?"
Mrs. Zhou was startled and subconsciously replied, "Drink."
The old lady was already angry with him, but when she saw him talking like this, she became even more angry, "What's wrong? The filial piety that my child brought me tastes good, but I can't drink this medicine?"
Zhou Bi said anxiously, "Of course you can't drink it. Li Yan made this medicine by herself, how can you drink it?"
"What's wrong with Yan Yan's own troubles?"
The old man didn't take it seriously, "It's precisely because she made this medicine by herself that we want to drink it. If you can't see Yan's filial piety, don't come to hinder us."
Zhou Bi was dumbfounded, Li Yan must have done something to his family.
The old mother and wife repeatedly fought with him over the little girl.
Is this still a sensible mother?
Is this still a gentle and virtuous wife?
He almost didn't recognize them both.
The old lady continued to accuse, "I think you have been a fool for being an official for so many years. You can't even write the words filial piety and righteousness. Now you don't even listen to my mother."
"Why did I work so hard to raise you?"
"Is it to make you angry with me?"
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have given birth to you that day, and I would have been left alone."
The old lady resented Ai Ai, pretending to wipe her tears with the handkerchief, and peeking through the corner of the handkerchief from time to time.
Seeing Zhou Bi's panicked and helpless look, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Just say that this trick will work every time in front of my son.
The old lady secretly winked at her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhou understood and said, "Mom, don't be sad. I still listen to your words."
As he spoke, he touched Zhou Bi with his elbow and motioned for him to say something.
Zhou Bi's momentum immediately dropped by more than half, and he could only persuade her earnestly, "Mom, it's not that I don't want you to take medicine, it's just that Li Yan's medical skills are not good."
"Not to mention making medicine, she can't even tell the difference between ordinary medicinal materials."
"How can you eat the herbs she prepared at random? If you make a bad mistake, you will end up regretting it if you eat it bad."
In other words, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are big-hearted, and they eat whatever others give them.
Zhou Bi could not help but scold the lady in a low voice, "The old lady is old and acts willfully, but what's the matter with you? You are asked to accompany the old lady, why don't you persuade her more and let her do such nonsense?"
Mrs. Zhou was unhappy and had a bad tone, "Yan'er doesn't know medical skills, who did you listen to this nonsense? Yan'er's medical skills are obviously very good, and the medicine she prescribes is much more effective than the doctors in the hospital. At noon, my mother-in-law and I
I drank the medicine. Not only was there nothing wrong with me, but my mental state was as good as ever. How could I get sick after taking such a good medicine, if I don’t get it?”
Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Bi kept getting angry over the matter of acknowledging their relationship with Li Yan.
If you don't sleep well at night, you will feel listless and top-heavy during the day.
It was also strange. After noon, I drank Li Yan’s herbal medicine.
When I got up after taking a nap, these uncomfortable symptoms were gone, and I felt full of strength.
This feeling is both comfortable and magical.
The old lady also agreed with her face, "What Mrs. Zhou said is true. Girl Yan, don't be too skilled in medicine. After taking the medicine, old lady, I also feel that my ears and eyesight are clear, and I feel as if I am ten years younger."
Zhou Bi, "...."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sang together.
Why don't you be so exaggerated?
It's just a simple medicine, and they say it's magical, just like taking an elixir.
Sure enough, I have been with Li Yan for a long time.
Not only my old mother, but also my wife spoke more and more mysteriously.
However, he noticed that Mrs. Zhou's face was rosy and full of energy.
The old lady is also very energetic.
Thinking that the two of them were fine after taking the medicine, he didn't want to be annoying.
After talking so much, the old lady did not forget to mention the matter of acknowledging the marriage.
In front of his son, he directly ordered his daughter-in-law, "I'll leave it to you to recognize Yan'er. You go to Dabei Temple and ask Master Xuankong to pick a good day and settle the matter as soon as possible. It's time to go to Dabei Temple."
There are certain etiquettes that our family can only do more than less, but we must not treat Yantou badly.
This time, the old lady didn't even ask Zhou Bi.
Whether Zhou Bi agrees or not, the old lady is determined to do it according to her own wishes when it comes to acknowledging her relatives.
By obtaining her son's consent, she gave him face. Since he didn't give him face, there was no need to give him face.
The old lady glanced at the dark night outside and said, "It's getting late today. You two should go back to the house and rest early."
The old lady then assigned her daughter-in-law, "When tomorrow dawns, Mrs. Zhou, please come to my warehouse and help me pick out some suitable items. When you go to see Yan Yatou tomorrow, send them all together and say that they are my wishes."
.”
The old lady did not forget to remind her son, "If the old lady wants to recognize her relatives, someone should be careful. If you dare to obstruct her, the old lady will treat him as a non-person."
The old lady was used to being domineering in front of her son. This time, she made it even more final and could not tolerate any objection.
After the old lady said these words, she was dejected and had nothing to say.
The momentum he had when he arrived had been completely wiped out by his old mother.
Mrs. Zhou saw his aggrieved look and said hello to his mother-in-law with a low smile.
In the end, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law won this battle.
Su Mansion
Today, old man Su got a rare ink orchid and was playing with flowers and plants on the porch.
The garden of the Su Mansion is the most elegant and beautiful in the whole county.
Because of the drought, all the flowers and plants in the entire garden have wilted.
Nowadays, it takes a lot of time and effort to replant it.
Fortunately, Mr. Su had nothing to do, so he took this opportunity to pass the time.
Apart from the elegant pleasures of growing flowers and grass, the only thing that old uncle Su cared about was the education of his eldest grandson Su Zijin.
Just after watering the flowers, the boy came over in a hurry and said that Academician Cai had something to do and had to take a rest today.
Bachelor Cai is a famous teacher invited by Mrs. Su for Su Zijin.
Three years ago, Academician Cai retired from office and returned to his hometown.
Coincidentally, Uncle Su's ancestral home is in He County.
In order to get his eldest grandson to join his family, the old man chased people from Shangjing City to He County.
Su Zijin also lived up to Uncle Su's high expectations, gained the favor of Academician Cai, and successfully became a disciple.
In the past few years, Su Zijin has made great progress in studying and studying with Master Cai.
After hearing this, Old Uncle Su ordered the young man, "Tell the young master that it is rare to take a break today, so that he does not have to accompany me in the house."
