Chapter 54: There is no shortage of food from the Huang family
Chapter 54 There is no shortage of food for the Huang family
It turned out that it was Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Zhang, her mother-in-law and several other women who came over.
The girls sitting there all stood up and saluted.
Someone gave up their seats and several ladies sat down.
Mrs. Huang asked Mrs. Huang, "I hear you making noise here from afar. What are you doing?"
Grandma Huang said, "Mom, it's my daughter-in-law's fault for disturbing your conversation with your aunt and friends. It doesn't matter here... She belongs to Liu Xing's family. Her mother, Mother Huang, was Aunt Huang who was with the second master of the Lin family.
I went to the south, and now... Aunt Huang has no letter, and her mother has no letter either. She is a little anxious and is asking Miss Lin San."
Old Mrs. Lin frowned, why are you talking about this matter? She has learned from her granddaughter that she is not at a disadvantage. If you ask her like this, you might cause another commotion.
After Mrs. Huang's mother-in-law died, she took charge of the household by herself, and it went very smoothly for so many years. Her husband was promoted step by step, and she became even more impressive and somewhat powerful.
After hearing what the daughter-in-law said, she looked like she didn't take it seriously at all, "Why did you talk about this for so long? Didn't you understand it as soon as you asked? Where are Xiu Yatou, Aunt Huang and Mrs. Huang?" She actually took the initiative to ask.
Already.
Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Zhixiu. Knowing that this matter was about to cause chaos, Lin Zhirong took the opportunity to give up his seat and ran away early, while Lin Zhixiu sat there steadily and smiled after hearing this.
Grandma, my grandson is accompanying you today to congratulate Mr. Huang on his promotion, right?! But why does it feel like you’re at a Hongmen Banquet!?”
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she felt a little embarrassed on her face. She didn't want to demean herself and argue with the little girl, so she turned to Mrs. Lin and said, "Madam, look at what she said... I didn't mean it!"
I felt unhappy and became hardened when I spoke.
Old Mrs. Lin was very angry, angry with everyone! "Girl Xiu, please speak up." The tone seemed to be blaming, but it was not unpleasant.
Lin Zhixiu said aggrievedly, "Grandma, I've been making trouble for a long time, but my granddaughter didn't even understand. Which one of you here handed mother Huang into the hands of her granddaughter? Why are you asking for someone from your granddaughter now? Parents.
He died young, and Zhixiu was only fifteen years old. He had just arrived in the capital from a small place, and he came to the Huang family to congratulate Mr. Huang on his promotion... He didn't even finish a cup of tea, so he came to this battle... How could his granddaughter stand it?
?!If I hadn’t known that my grandmother was nearby, I would have been scared to tears on the spot.”
Laughter came from the crowd, it was Zhang Pei, she felt it was so funny... You have been calm and calm for a long time, when will you cry?
When Mrs. Zhang looked at her, Zhang Pei immediately put on a face. Wang felt funny and looked at her daughter angrily.
Mrs. Huang couldn't listen. "I'm just asking you for news about them. Why did they say so much? The two living members of the Huang family went to the south with your parents, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead! Mother Huang is Liu Xing's mother, she cares about her
Isn’t that human nature?”
Lin Zhixiu said delicately, "Mrs. Huang, why don't we talk about the rules first and then talk about human nature?! The two people you are talking about, one is Aunt Chun by my father's side, and the other is my servant... They come from their own country.
After becoming a member of the Huang family, it is only related to the second wife of the Lin family! Life and death, whether to stay or leave, have nothing to do with the Huang family? With her parents gone, Zhixiu can make the final decision on this matter! So I can’t figure out why my family affairs have to be
How about explaining to others!?"
"My mother is not your slave, her deed belongs to the Huang family!" shouted the Liu Xing family.
Lin Zhixiu ignored her and asked, "Grandma, at the beginning, did you know that Mrs. Huang's deed belonged to the Huang family?"
Why would Old Mrs. Lin care about such a thing? She kept a sullen face and said nothing. These things only caused her trouble.
Mrs. Huang said, "Aunt Huang is the daughter of the Huang family. When she went out, the Huang family matched her with someone to serve her. I didn't expect it at the time, but there was also a physical contract. Don't beat around the bush, where did they go?
?" she asked persistently.
Lin Zhixiu saw the faces of the ladies present, all of them mysterious and unpredictable, their eyes flickering between the Huang family and Lin Zhixiu. Haha, it's not that easy to just ruin my reputation, right?!
So he said, "Okay, Na Zhixiu won't beat around the bush and just say it directly! My Aunt Chun went to Kuchan Temple to practice ascetic practices. As for that mother-in-law, she may have gone to serve her, or she may be self-sufficient... the Huang family!
Gone! It's possible... Oh, she's already so old... Is she dead?! When my parents passed away, I was only twelve years old. A servant's wife's departure and stay did not attract my attention.
Pay attention." She straightened the folds of her skirt, disapprovingly.
Mrs. Huang had already heard Mrs. Huang say it, but she still couldn't believe it. "Pension? Aunt Huang has a son. Why would she go to penance?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Mrs. Huang, would it be more appropriate for you to ask Aunt Chun about this question?"
Mrs. Huang followed the words and said, "Please let Chun... Huang come back first, and I will ask her."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Haha! Mrs. Huang, you are really... However, I don't want to be entangled in this matter. To be honest with Mrs. Huang, Zhixiu's words are of no use in this matter. Aunt Chun is here
There are conditions for entering the nunnery! If the conditions are not met, people will not be able to get out!"
Mrs. Huang asked, "What? Are there any conditions?"
Lin Zhixiu: "Yes!" She held out two more fingers, "Two! One is to wait for Lin Feng to win the Jinshi, and he can bring Aunt Chun back according to the situation. The second is to redeem himself in advance for one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"What? One hundred thousand taels?!" Everyone was shocked. How could such a thing happen?
"One hundred thousand taels? How can such a thing happen?" someone asked.
"It's so outrageous. Isn't it obvious that she is going to die in a nunnery? This person is so cruel!" That was Du Yan's voice.
Old Mrs. Lin didn't know about the one hundred thousand taels of silver either.
Mrs. Huang said, "You still said you didn't send it in?! Could it be that she proposed such harsh conditions herself?"
Lin Zhixiu was puzzled, "Huh? Madam Huang, which condition do you think is more stringent? The third brother's Jinshi title, or the one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Grandma Huang didn't want her mother-in-law to talk to a junior anymore, so she interjected in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, these two are harsh! There are so many scholars, how many of them are Jinshi? Besides, why should we?"
How much money does it take to redeem it?"
Mrs. Huang still refused to let go, "That's it, what do you think she is? One hundred thousand taels for you?! I want to tell you, check that Kuchan Temple, why on earth... are you so arrogant!"
"Haha, where is the legitimate daughter of the Huang family? How much is one hundred thousand taels?" Lin Zhixiu also felt funny, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and smiling eyes.
Mrs. Huang was furious when she heard this. She slammed the table and said, "Is this how a junior talks to his elders?! Madam! My mother-in-law said at the beginning that you liked Huang Wan and you had to let her go. She also asked me to take care of her."
.Now that she has such a result, I can’t explain it to my mother-in-law unless this girl explains it clearly!"
Lin Zhixiu then said, "Grandma, just now my granddaughter said that today feels like a Shenghongmen Banquet. You still don't believe it. Do you believe it now? We, grandma and grandson, are here to be interrogated by the three halls! If you really feel sorry for me...
...Oh, Huang Wan, I value Mrs. Huang again, why haven’t I seen the Huang family for so many years? Not even a serious letter. Today, everyone from Mrs. Huang to the servants are all looking at Xiuer.
This is the first time Xiu'er has been to the Huang family since she was born. Who are these opinions coming from?! From Mrs. Huang's words, do you think she is blaming you?"
Everyone was thinking that her instigation was too blatant.
Ms. Huang finally opened her mouth, "Third girl, let's just talk about it. What are you doing by talking about it like this?"
Lin Zhixiu looked at her, "Third Aunt, although your maiden name is Huang, you have already married into the Lin family. When you speak and act, whose family's position should be considered? Don't make a mistake! Grandma, Xiu'er dare not teach Third Aunt a lesson.
, but my surname is Lin, and there is no reason for the Huang family to let others bully me without saying anything."
Huang said, "I didn't make a mistake about my stance, but you have to figure out the elders and younger ones!"
Mrs. Huang was very angry, "Who blamed your grandmother? Your grandmother is the Huang family's aunt! How dare you instigate it in front of me?! From the beginning to the end, I am asking you questions!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Mrs. Huang was surprised when she arrived. Zhixiu is just a daughter of a boudoir. She only waits for her grandmother when she goes out to socialize. She just smiles and says hello. How come there is something that needs Zhixiu to speak up?! What can I do for you?
My grandmother said that’s it.”
She put the teacup in her hand on the table and said no more.
The discussion next to them became louder and louder, and I didn’t know what they were talking about.
Old Mrs. Lin got annoyed and said, "Come on, come on! I'm tired after sitting here for a long time. I'm going back first! If you are willing, please take Zhirong to sit with me for a while!!"
Mrs. Huang was a little embarrassed: "Madam, the meal has been prepared, why do you have to eat it before going back? It's just a normal conversation, can you..."
Lin Zhixiu stood up and said, "Yes, grandma." She walked to the old lady and supported her gently. Lin Zhiying and Zhifei also came to follow.
Old Mrs. Lin didn't lose her temper. This was her natal family. What could she do? She said, "It's okay. You guys are making fun of us. We are all from the same family... I'm just confused by the chaos! I'm going back now!"
Mrs. Huang's face was a bit ugly, but to this day, she doesn't care so much! Seeing that the old lady insisted on leaving, she only said a few polite words and asked her daughter-in-law to see the old lady off.
Lin Zhixiu helped the old lady go out, "Grandma, your decision is so right! These Huang family women are all thinking so much! They are so tired! We don't lack food from the Huang family, why should we suffer this?
What about? Grandma, if you don’t want to go home to eat, let’s go to De Feng Tower to eat roasted deer tendons. It is said that the roast is glutinous and fragrant, and eating it is good for the skin! Can I treat my granddaughter to a treat?" She smiled.
, it seems like my mouth is watering.
Mrs. Lin glared at her, "Please calm down! Why do you always think about running out?"
After the group left, everyone got together in twos and threes and talked about Lin Zhixiu for a long time...
