Chapter 3 In the third round, the sister-in-law actually lowered her head and dropped the spear, and the young man also frowned

Zhou's mother, father and son were gracious, even though the old master died, and the male servant did not find a job, he still ate his spare time as the master, and he also helped with some chores on weekdays, and shared some rewards.Over the years, Brother Yuansun tried his best and recommended many of them. There are still six people left in the gatehouse. Except for Zhang Shun, who has been a servant for many years, the rest are mostly distant relatives of Luo's natal family.Yuan Su was loved by his father in the past, he obeyed his words, and he was strict with rewards and punishments for his servants, using both kindness and power, invisibly cultivating a heart of respect and love in his servants.Luo Shi who came earlier wanted to find trouble, and sent a message to the concierge not to allow visitors to come in casually, the servants started talking about it, and they all knew that it would be difficult to do so.Luo Shi treats people meanly, even though most of these people are recommended by her Luo family, they don't really like her very much, once Yuan Su ordered to clean the living room, they are sure to do something, and they would like his uncle and sister-in-law to make a fuss at the time, so as to save the embarrassment of the current people One after another, they took the broom and ran to the living room.

Houcheng and his wife live across from the living room, Luo Shi naturally heard it when Zhong entered the room, he couldn't help being furious, thinking that it was the first time he set the rules, and he touched him back, not only making people laugh, but also this little devil will have no law to control in the future Now, if you want to get out of arguing with Yuan Cheng's theory, it's better to think that you are wrong. Yuan Sun is very eloquent, shrewd and capable, except that he will never speak out, and it is even more embarrassing to be asked.The feud between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, uncle, and sister-in-law is only in the heart, and she has never publicly broken her face. If there is a quarrel, wouldn't it be worse if the child calculates the previous account and questions the use of the leftover money?After thinking about it again and again, I was finally feeling weak and timid, not daring to make a sudden attack.After staying for a while, I looked out through the crack of the window, and saw that the servants were actively engaged in work. Following Yuansun's command, they rushed in and out. Pretending to be on the sidelines, listening to Yuan Su's speech, what to say to the servants.After a while Luo Fu came, Luo Shi saw that his hands were dirty and his face was full of dust, he couldn't help but said angrily: "What makes you work so hard for others, look at you, what kind of food are you eating?"

Luo Fu was originally a distant brother of the Luo family. Seeing Luo's unreasonable insults, he couldn't help saying, "Which food do I eat? I eat Zhou's food! The second young master is the young master. He asked me to do things. Is there anything else we can’t do? The living room hasn’t been opened since last month, and the visitors were still sitting in the study yesterday. If there is no second young master, we plan to clean it today. Could it be that it’s better for us to eat and do nothing? Is it strange?" Seeing his contradictory words, Luo Shi said angrily: "How did I greet you this morning? The master is not here, and the eldest and young master are going out. I will take care of the house. After tidying up the living room, lock the door with me. If you don't see the guests, pass it on. Give it to them, get out if you don't obey." Luo Fu was old and patient, although Luo Shi quoted it, he was not angry with her recent behavior, and replied loudly after hearing the words: "The second young master has more visitors than the eldest young master, and the master never said a word in Ritong. , besides, there is too much in the back, you don’t allow guests to come in, explain to them first, and just quietly asked us to keep the guests out, it’s unreasonable for people nowadays. If you don’t eat here, other people still have to eat, you can’t break your conscience , Wrong rules." When Luo Shi told him this, his shame turned into anger, he slapped the table, and just about to explode, Pingxiang suddenly rushed in and said: "The second young master of Mr. President Xu in Jingli is here."

It turned out that Qiugu, Luo's father, had been promoted and recommended by Zhiting's father since the Qing Dynasty, and served as Kuolijin in Jiangsu several times.Just because of his pedantic temperament, ignorance of the world, money is full of others, and he has no spare capital. Now the Jiangsu candidate Xu's family is his only support, and he respects it like a god.Before Zhiting arrived, Nai's father had a letter first, and Qiugu went to Pukou to meet him with his two sons, Shaogu and Yougu.Zhi Ting was young and suave, impatient with Qiu Gu's father and son's shabbiness and pedantry, the first term was courteous and kept him, saying that he had a previous appointment, insisted on refusing to stay at Luo's house, but went to live in a father's house on Chaoku Street, reluctantly went to Luo's house for dinner once After receiving the wind and wine, I will no longer go.It was a pity that Qiugu and his son couldn't flatter, so they had to send a Ming version of "Four Books" and some four treasures of the study as gifts, but Zhiting reluctantly accepted them and threw them aside without looking at them.When Luo Shi heard him coming, he couldn't help being startled, thinking to himself that last night his brother Xiaogu said that Zhiting was very busy with entertainment, and his father didn't have time to invite him to dinner tonight. , Because he thanked him and dismissed him, he wasted a lot of unjust money, and his heart is still hurting, how could he come here in this free time?Zhiting had met her when she was young, but it must be because of her relatives. She didn't know that her husband was away to see her old cousin.I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful at such a young age, it's really touching, please don't invite him, how can there be any reason to get in the way?I hate that my husband is not at home. Although it is cheap, let him know that my natal family also has rich relatives.He only cared about the surprises and didn't think about it, so he hurriedly said: "Luo Fu, Mr. Xu's cousin is here, quickly ask the second young master to accompany me, and I will go out after I change my clothes. Damn things, you He just eats and eats, the living room is not cleaned when he is idle, the study is full of books, and there are no furnishings, how petty." He shouted anxiously: "Wang Mama washes the face and fetches the young masters to change clothes. Pingxiang, go to the front Greet them, and tell the young master to be afraid that he will be offended, if they come from Beijing, they should call the eldest young master, bring cigarettes, tea and snacks quickly, if there are no outsiders, come to my room to get them."

Luo Shi is in a hurry here, Luo Fu has glimpsed through the window that Zhi Ting came with Zhang Lingcang, and another young man was greeted by Yuan Sun into the living room. Hearing her backtracking, he still wanted to ask her a few more words, but Luo Shi hurriedly finished his words and hurried to the inner suite, so he retreated angrily to the concierge, told the servants, and all of them snickered.In fact, Yuan Sun intended to tell in advance who the visitor would be. Before he had the opportunity, Luo Shi called Luo Fu in and made a nasty noise through the courtyard.Yuansun felt that she was too reluctant to leave, and thought that Gao and Zhang were close friends, and they would talk about everything, and wanted to keep him for dinner today.Although Zhi Ting had just made friends with her, he was still speculative. He was a relative of Luo Shi's natal family. Tathagata bumped into him, so he knew Luo Shi was a good person, so he simply waited for her to make a big fuss before making a fuss, and let his anger sink.Seeing Pingxiang by their side, the servants secretly exchanged winks, pretending not to hear, not saying a word, still calmly directing the group of servants to sort out a few cases.

As soon as the living room was cleaned up, suddenly an idle servant from the concierge ran in with a business card. It happened that Pingxiang couldn't see any movement, and heard the noise of the owner and servant. She was walking out of the hall and bumped into her.The servant was originally recommended by the Luo family. When he saw Pingxiang, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu's second young master is here. Hurry up and call young mistress." Years, but Tong’s family background is good, so I don’t need to report when I come here, but Zhiting is the first time to visit, Pingxiang is tricky and dexterous, she can read a few words, sees only one business card, and the name is similar to what the owner has said for days, eager to please, mouth Asked "Where is it", people had already thrown off their big feet and ran to the upper room. After reporting the good news, they led the order and ran out, spreading word inside and outside, and when they saw people, they said that Mr. Xu Shaoer is here, and you are all right.Seeing Mrs. Zhou, she squinted her eyes and curled her mouth, as if the master came to have rich relatives, and she followed Guanghui and gained a lot of money.She is overjoyed here, and she is sending a message to the cook in the kitchen, and she is telling the laundry maids in the backyard what she usually hears, and she agrees to wait for the young lady to treat guests, and then go to peek at the second young lady when she enters the inner court. What kind of clothes do you wear, you are just like foreign devils, who knows that Luo Shi, a Weiren, has already laughed and laughed, and it is indescribable suffering.

It turned out that while Luo Shi was busy washing and changing clothes, he first thought that his second cousin was coming so rarely that he should prepare a table to entertain him, but he didn't know how much he entertained, whether he would be able to stay.He also thought that while trying to persuade him to stay, he would hire an express car to send letters to his mother's family to find his father and brothers.If you can keep him, you will not have a bright face, and your father will praise you for your ability. If you can't keep him, you can also talk to him, begging him to write a letter to the president's cousin, asking him to write to the governor, and urging his father and brother. The errand that I asked for would be released as soon as possible, so as not to have to pay for the family, and the second child would eat a meal for nothing, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment.Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that the confidant girl had not returned, and the other maids couldn't explain clearly, so she scolded "dead girl", and was about to ask someone to look for her, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the hall, ordering Mama Yang: "Look!" The report said that the second young master accompanied Mr. Xu Ershao, the often-visiting young master Zhang, and a tall young master, who went to the room to greet his wife.Luo Shi was startled and angry when he heard the words, thinking that Yuansun Shilling was cleaning the living room, so he must have an appointment with a friend, and at this time, he came and bumped into him, and scolded: "The second child really deserves to die. If you don't avoid it, you'll be better off if you come here. Pulling together. The second cousin knows the etiquette. He didn't know that the hall was not his mother-in-law. According to the rules in Beijing, he was deliberately polite and said that he wanted to go to the hall to pay homage to his mother. Fortunately, his mother still understands this point, so she must not dare to take it seriously, otherwise he came thousands of miles, and he is a foreign student, but he kowtowed to a poor old widow and went back. Wouldn’t he be angry? Besides, I also treat him I'm sorry, it's really damn good. He and the Zhou family don't even know each other. It would be nice to invite them in as soon as they arrive. They just want to dress up and ask these two dead ghosts to accompany him. They only say that they often socialize with his father and that their husbands often Praise him for being able to hand over people, but he gets it, he deserves death! How can he offend people and cause trouble?" The more he thought about it, the more anxious he was, scolding Yuan Su, even his natal father forgot to invite someone, and hurried After buttoning up his clothes, he ran to the upper room in small steps.

At this time, the visitors were already seated outside Yuansu's bedroom. When Luo Shi entered the door and saw that Zhou's mother seemed to be about to get out of her air, all the visitors stood up and saw them off.Knowing that she was coming to Zhiting, Yuan Sun was afraid of being recognized by others, so he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, this is Brother Xu." Yuan Su's friends were always hostile and jealous, but now, they became more and more angry and didn't even respond to each other. They just pretended to smile and bowed to Zhi Ting twice: "I just listened to You Gu yesterday. My second cousin has been here for a few days, but my cousin's husband is not here, so I haven't come to visit him yet, but my second cousin came here first, how polite I am, how dare I act like that. The second brother is also too sloppy, how can we treat distinguished guests here? Quickly ask my second cousin to sit in the front inner flower hall."

Zhi Ting and Cheng Ji are life brothers. In the future, Zhang and Gao have learned about this cousin's personality. In Beijing, they often receive letters from Qiu Gu's father and son. With preconceived ideas, seeing her walk in recklessly, the mother-in-law and visitors are ignored by everyone, and she opens her mouth with a lot of nonsense, feeling very unhappy, after returning the salute, she doesn't answer, she just looks at Luo Shi, looking at her. She's never finished.Mother Zhou was about to go back to her room, but she saw Zhang and Gao froze there with anger on their faces, and Luo Shi kept nagging, as if asking Zhiting to leave immediately, but Zhiting didn't appreciate it, showing contempt on her face The color is very different from the chattering and laughing before Luo's arrival.Most young people like this don't know how to lie, they are afraid that Zhiting's words will not be answered well and they will not be able to step down, and they are also afraid that Aizi will do something secretly and want to embarrass Luo Shi, so he hurriedly said: "I said this room is small, but I didn't clean it , you can accompany you elder brothers to sit in the flower hall." Mother Zhou originally had good intentions, but when Zhiting saw that Luo Shi was indifferent, Zhou mother perfunctory her, confirming that people's words were not wrong, and her heart was even more disgusted, knowing that Luo Shi misunderstood, she regarded it as her own. She thought about it, and hurriedly replied: "My nephew had a talk with my second brother last night, and I was very impressed. Today I came here to say hello to my aunt. I don't want my aunt and my second brother to treat me well, and I will enjoy dinner. My nephew will study in Suzhou soon. Take advantage of this time to ask second brother for advice. This room is quiet and elegant, and there are second brother's calligraphy, painting, poetry and prose to read, no matter what. My brother, why be polite."

Zhi Ting spoke a lot of Beijing dialect, and the Luo family from Hunan only understood half of it, so he didn't hear that there was something wrong with his mouth. Because Zhi Ting agreed to stay for dinner, he couldn't help being moved, and half of his anger towards Yuan Su disappeared, thinking that this little ghost really He knows how to socialize, and he really gets along very well. After finishing speaking, he hurriedly replied: "Second cousin has never eaten anything good in Beijing. How can he eat the usual meals? Tell them not to add food. Second cousin has just arrived. I have asked someone to order a table of shark fin seats in the Jubin Building, and because there is no one to accompany me, I am planning to invite my father and elder brother Xiaogu to accompany me." These last two sentences are committing a heinous crime, and I can't help but turn my face Yi Shen said: "Cousin is so troublesome, so I have no choice but to go." Luo Shi still regarded him as modest, and asked with a smile: "This is a small thing, is the second cousin still polite to the old cousin?" Zhi Ting had a cold face He said with a smile: "Today I made an appointment with Zhang and Gao to pay a visit to Yuansu and my aunt. I am most afraid of fooling around with people in the officialdom. I also know that my aunt has a nurse Zhou who is very good at it." The second elder brother Yuan Su hit it off, and when he heard that he would invite me to eat, he could talk freely and eat good food. No one wants to have a happy meal with my aunt, let alone the banquet. I will accept the thank you according to the original proposal. Otherwise, I have to accept it kindly, and invite the three elder brothers to eat outside."

Luo Shi is a smart person, at that time he was only angry and confused, so that he lost his words and actions, and when he heard the words clearly, he realized that Zhiting came here just to visit the enemy, not only had nothing to do with him, but even his father and brothers were disgusted , I couldn't help being so angry that my hands were cold and my heart was shaking, and I couldn't make a sound there.Zhang and Gao both laughed when they saw each other.Zhou's mother is the most lenient, seeing that Zhiting repeatedly embarrassed this cousin whom she had not seen for many years, she did not pretend to be embarrassing. Although she knew that young men and women were mostly arrogant and willful, Luo's family would not have seen it if they did not rely on them as their backers. So I offered it bluntly, and from this I saw the difficulty of relying on others, and I felt touched in my heart.Seeing that Luo Shi was flushed with embarrassment and anxiety, he was afraid of embarrassment, so he replied with a smile: "Brothers, since the small room is not too small, please sit down and talk, and discuss it after the snacks, it's still early before dinner. Suizhi Chengji said to Luo Shi: "This is the third generation brother in front of old man Gao in Zhenjiang. You only care about greeting distant guests, and you haven't seen him yet." Luo Shi originally thought that Chengji, like Ling Cang, was the son of the Zhang family's candidate, because he hated him for being Yuansun's friend.When I entered the door, I still planned to ask Yuan Mi to ask the two of them to eat outside, leaving Zhiting alone at home, bringing my father and brothers to eat at the same table, and then telling Zhiting how the three of them broke the law, so as not to be enemies After eating cheap, he also flattered his rich relatives, intending to send the two of them away, but he obviously heard the call and pretended not to hear it.Never expected that although that one was not affectionate, after all, his father was praised and had been friends with him for many years, but the younger one refused to help, so it would not be a serious problem.This one is cash and affordable, but my father just called her husband to do something for me yesterday, but I still can't flatter him, how could I offend him? Hearing this, my head was blown, and I forgot all the shame I felt. Turned white, and hurriedly answered: "So it's the third younger brother? I haven't seen my cousin for many years because I left my cousin thousands of miles away. I also know that he is very busy with social gatherings. It's rare that the two younger brothers are here, so I hurried to keep him here." , let the younger brother of the second family act as the host, eat a simple meal, only talk about it, and don't pay attention to the courtesy first, it is really absurd. Our two generations are good friends, please don't be offended by the third brother." Then he said that he had blessed two blessings early.Cheng Ji got up to return the salute, and replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law and brother Zhiting have been away for a long time, and they are eager to see each other. , It doesn't show at all on the surface, it's much better than Zhiting's coercion of Guifu, so I can't help nodding secretly.I was about to go back to the room, the little brothers talked and laughed freely, but because Luo Shi was still in the room, I had to sit down again. Although Luo Shi was short-tempered in his heart, on the surface he had to deal with the old-fashioned face, offered cigarettes and kept tea busy, asked Chengji to take care of her husband, and boasted in front of the old man, and asked Zhiting to ask his cousins, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, the whole family, young and old Everyone is safe and well, and visit the sceneries and human relationships in Beijing.She is afraid of being indifferent to her natal family and offending her husband's boss, so she wants to be considerate in every way. Unexpectedly, these two are new characters, and she hates these homely chatter. Perfunctory, Zhi Ting was spoiled since she was a child, she was originally a dandy, and she was infected with bad habits in the school. Women like Luo Shi, even if the Luo family does not rely on their father to promote them, they are extremely bored. Didn't even bother to listen.Zhou's mother saw that Yuan You was only chatting with Ling Cang, and never tried to turn things around. Zhi Ting's face was full of anger, and Luo Shi still didn't know what was going on. Let's see how to arrange it, and say hello, since the brothers don't think home cooking is sloppy, let's go back to the banquet." Why can't Luo Shi not see the charm, just because of the snobbish nature of the family, he took these two young distinguished guests too seriously, at first he thought that being courteous and courteous was a good thing in his life, but he didn't know that he couldn't use it at all. To save, the more perfunctory the worse.Looking at his air, he secretly went to pick up his father and brother, fearing that Zhiting would leave without seeing anyone.If I don't pick it up, I will know in the future that I have to complain, and I will go out in anger, and I am afraid that I will offend others.Wen Yan knew that her mother-in-law would open the way for her, so she quickly smiled and said, "I'm really confused too. I just talked with my cousin Shige and forgot to go to the kitchen. They are always petty and know what to do. Cousin Gao Sange If you're so polite, then I'll take it easy, but it's too disrespectful to accompany the guests. I think it's better to find Xiaogu. They are all brothers of the same age, and they are not restrained, and they are more lively. His situation in Suzhou is better than that of the old man. Two are still familiar." Originally, Luo Shi didn't give up his heart, but seeing Cheng Ji present, he wanted to use this to win over his natal family, and deliberately tested his tone.According to the master's statement, the guests are unwilling to do so, and there is no reason to refuse. Zhiting lost his temper, fearing that as soon as the letter was delivered, the old and the young would come together, so he hurriedly said: "Cousin, don't worry about it. I am afraid that there will be too many people, so I would like to spend two hours at my cousin’s house to receive the feast when I am free. Today, it is best for the four of us to talk about the darkness in this room and disturb our aunt. If you give me a light meal, let me be the host and cool off under the river for a while, no matter what. No matter who it is, it’s meaningless to add one more." This nail hit Luo Shi dizzy, unspeakably bitter, he had no choice but to swallow his anger, He replied with an apologetic smile: "Then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. If I want to greet them later, I will not accompany them for the time being." Then he said to Yuan Su: "Second brother will help me be the host. I will arrange for them to prepare the dishes before coming back." Cheng Ji and Ling Cang stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to bother." Zhi Ting pretended to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, but ignored them.Luo Shi walked out with a smile, and before he left the room, the tears could not help but flow down.As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he remembered that Zhi Ting kept saying that the old woman was the one who gave him the meal. At least it would be better to make him admit his feelings, so he deliberately said loudly: "Pingxiang, I will pay for the guests today. Take everything to my room." At this moment, Nanny Zhou was arranging dinner in the kitchen, and another maid was serving snacks, Luo Shi's own maid was not allowed to work in the courtyard, after Luo Shi finished speaking, he saw that there was no one beside him, It is expected that the visitor has heard it, and he is afraid that his tears will be seen by the servants. He didn't know how to cook, so he hurriedly went to the revolving house. Pingxiang blew in the kitchen for a while, and first listened to the old servant Zhang Xing calling for Nurse Zhou and Mama Xu, and went when Madam called.After staying for a while, I saw Mrs. Zhou go to the kitchen to make dumplings with noodles, and asked the cook to buy vegetables. Because she rolled her eyes at people just now, and she was not on good terms with each other, it was inconvenient to ask. After finding out his whereabouts and going to report the letter, he stayed by the side and was not willing to leave.Waiting for Nanny Zhou to finish the snacks and ask Mother Xu to go up to the room, just remembered that the owner's rich relatives didn't know whether to invite them in for a meeting, and then saw the nurse in this room coming, saying: "Master Xu Ershao arrived in the backyard early, sir. The grandma has also rushed away, Miss Sun and Young Master Sun are all dressed up, Mr. Xu Ershao never sees coming, you can secretly ask the young mistress whether to wait in the room or take it to the backyard?" Pingxiang turned her head. , caught a glimpse of Madam Xu carrying snacks in a carrying box and winking with Nanny Zhou, and felt that the incident was too strange, so she asked casually, "Sister-in-law Xu, why did our Second Young Master Xu come into your room?" Mama Xu sneered and said, "" He is a guest of my second young master, where would you like him to go?" Seeing that there was a change in Pingxiang's expression, if she asked again, there would be no good words, so she ran back in a panic.Originally, I wanted to find out more about the details, and just walked around from the side courtyard to the screen door of the second entrance, just when Luo Shi was walking with tears in his eyes, and met head-on, Luo Shi's anger had nowhere to vent, his face was just a mouth, and he was angry in a low voice Drink: "Damn girl, where did you hit your soul, and you won't turn back once you leave?" Pingxiang's face was half swollen immediately, knowing Luo's temper, how could she dare to tell, she fought back tears and went back to the house. The nanny only remembered what the master said, that the people from Beijing were generous, and they were eager to share the meeting ceremony with Miss Sun, and they didn't look at the master's demeanor. As soon as Luo Shi entered the room, she smiled and said, "Young Master Sun and Miss Sun have already dressed up." Young mistress, don’t come and call, a piece of the new silk shirt has been stained just now, quickly take it and kowtow to the second young master, I can’t bear to see it, and it will get more dirty after a while.” Luo Shi saw the son. The girls are all dressed up, when the nanny said, they all rushed to say, "I see my uncle kowtows, I don't cry, I have money to buy candy", the more sad I was, I wanted to scold a few words when I was angry, but when I thought something wrong, I didn't say anything. Resisting it, he concealed it and said: "The second watch master is inquiring about going to the Suzhou exam school with the second son at this time, so don't bother me first, take the young master and miss outside to play for a while. I will go in and see you before dinner. It's the same." The nanny was about to retort, the one who called Pingxiang first also turned around, showed some sincerity during the early visit, gave a wink to the accomplices, each carried the children they were feeding and went out.Luo Shi hurriedly called Pingxiang to follow him out, but Pingxiang rushed out in a hurry, eager to see if she could make a contribution. Luo Shi was the only one left in the room, pondering quietly, full of thoughts that the wealthy relatives of her mother's family would come to make a fool of herself, who would have thought that if she became intimate with the enemy, she might be lost.The father and brother knew that they would never blame Zhiting for their cold nature, they would say that they were not good at using tricks, they spared money for their in-laws, they didn't greet them well, they took Zhiting's polite manners for real, and they didn't go to pick them up.I also remembered that when I married, my mother-in-law's family was in its prime, and her mother-in-law came from a great family and was also a stepmother, so it must be bad.Unexpectedly, I didn't think that my compensation was meager, and I treated each other even more kindly.Just to be bewitched by others, have prejudices, always seem to be at odds with each other, and become more and more unscrupulous as time goes by.He was so embarrassing to her yesterday, but today he is still doing well, and he is giving himself face everywhere, otherwise, if the second child plays tricks again, it will be even more difficult to end up.I hate the second child, when Xu Zhiting came to see him, he was damned if he didn't say anything beforehand, and Brother Gao didn't even say hello when he came, making me neglect him.Just say that I hate that I shouldn't have told the concierge not to allow him to meet guests. Now the whole family is always relying on your brother to offend his boss's son. Fortunately, this person is really nice, and he is considered lucky. Otherwise, go back and tell his father, and then write a note Let go of the errand, and see if your mother and son will follow us in the future. The more Luo Shi thought about it, the more sad she became. She already hated Yuan Sun in her heart, and suspected that he was doing something bad. Pingxiang suddenly ran in from the outside and saw Luo Shi lying on the bed with tears still in her eyes. After lightly flashing out, dodge for a while, Luo Shi has already caught a glimpse, and calls Pingxiang to the side of the couch to ask Nanny Zhou what to say, and Pingxiang adds branches and leaves according to what she has heard.Luo Shi was jealous at first, and after deducing what Pingxiang said in detail, the more he thought that Yuansun not only played tricks and made her ashamed, but also asked Zhi Tingli how many bad things she said about her and her natal family, so that she was punished. Otherwise, Zhi Ting and Qi Shihao, who flattered him with good intentions, would not let others down like this for no reason?The more he thought about it, the more he was right, and he actually planted all the hatred on Yuan Su alone. He gritted his teeth and cursed for a while, and he didn't know how many tears shed.Later it was Pingxiang who persuaded: "Young Mistress's body is important. When she gets angry, the enemy will be more desirable. Mr. Xu Ershao only came to the capital, and he was tricked by others. In fact, the kiss is still the kiss. If you understand it later, it's still better." Help us. Now the servants in the concierge kitchen think that Mr. Xu Ershao was invited by the second child, as if he is not even our relatives. If the young lady does not go to the backyard to accompany the guests, it is even more true that they are telling the truth. The old lady Zhou's words would be shocking to death. The old lady knew it two days later, so she thought she had neglected her. The young lady wanted to cry and swell her eyes. Isn't it just for nothing to make the second child and the old lady Zhou happy? I feel angry What's the benefit? It's better to dress up and go to the backyard, so as not to make the second child only care about talking with Mr. Xu Ershao, and at the same time bring the old man, uncle, and third uncle. They are real relatives and elders, and they invited the Second Young Master to our house with a single sentence, and forcefully won this tone back, so that they will not be able to curry favor with them, let them be happy, and see what else they have to say." Luo Shi was embarrassed to say that Zhi Ting hated his father and brother, and sighed: "Silly girl, I don't know, I want you to remind me! This is what I planned, but the feud between me and the second dead ghost is as deep as sea, and the second young master has already been fooled." , I was coaxed by him, I was like a fight, I was stingy, and there was the young master of Mr. Zhenjiang Gao. The young master is relying on his father to get promoted. He and the two dead ghosts have long known each other. Did I offend him again? You are right, my dear is still dear, sooner or later I will understand, I am happy to let his mother and son invite my natal family on my behalf. They are young and like to joke and play. My old sister The old lady's presence is always restrictive, I want to wait until the table is about to start before going in. I haven't slept in the afternoon, you don't have to wait, you'd better go to the servant's room and listen carefully. Sooner or later, the two dead ghosts will know how powerful I am." Pingxiang is fifteen years old. She is quite handsome, she was originally a talented person who was polished by Luo's cane and bamboo boards, because she is extremely alert and dexterous, and is good at flattering, in recent years, when Luo's is her confidant, it is not easy to be whipped.Seeing Luo Shi beating her again now, I was afraid that if she opened the door, she would fall into a miserable situation again. Hearing Luo Shi's tone, he felt that his favor had not faded, and he was relieved and happy to cater to his ideas. Immediately promised to quit without mentioning. Luo Shi left Yuansun's study, and Zhou's mother also returned to the room by herself. The four hosts and guests chatted happily.Yuan Sun had already told Ling Cang what was on his mind, and asked him to take care of his mother and younger brother in the future, and Ling Cang promised without hesitation.Zhi Ting and Cheng Ji didn't know that Yuan Sun would get up in the next day, and they still invited them again and again. After dinner, they went on a boat trip to the Qinhuai River, and then continued yesterday's trip. The son and daughter went to visit their cousin, and they also saluted Cheng Ji and Ling Cang by the way.Zhi Ting originally wanted to give a meeting gift, but it was inconvenient to give it in front of Cheng Ji and Ling Cang.Cheng Ji was also in the way of Ling Cang, planning to hand it over to Yuan Su and pass it on to the child.It was the first time for Luo's children to pay respects to Ling Cang. Ling Cang knew that Zhiting and Cheng Ji were rich and generous, and they took too little, which was ugly in comparison. He wanted to give something another day, but he didn't show anything at the time.Yuansun's two younger brothers and one nephew came back from school early, and they were all chatting and laughing with the guests in the room, so it was off.After dinner was served, Zhi Ting was busy urging him to leave, and forgot about dismissing the children, Luo Shi was furious again.That night, Zhiting and Chengji asked Zhou's mother in advance to allow Yuan Sun to return late. When Yuan Sun arrived on the boat, he had no excuses, and was forcibly detained by the crowd even after resigning several times, and he was not released until after dawn.Summer nights are short and people get up early. Yuan Sun arrived home at seven o'clock. On the road, he met his second brother and nephew going to school. The car was driving very fast. Before he could ask questions, he turned around.Yuan Sun recalled that his two brothers turned around and shouted "Second Brother", knowing that Luo Shi had gossip again after he left last night. Seeing that the car was far away, he thought that I was the one who was going to leave. Fortunately, my mother and brother had been entrusted with someone to take care of me If you don't care about him, you don't care about it. On the left side of the hall on the second floor of Zhou's house are Luo Shi's three bedrooms. Yuan Sun came in and was walking in when he suddenly saw Ping Xiang looking out with the curtain on the door.About to turn around the screen door, Luo Shi shouted urgently: "Stop him quickly, I have something to say." Then Pingxiang chased him out and shouted: "Second young master, don't go, young lady asks you something." Yuan Sun usually He hates Pingxiang's sharp mouth and frivolity the most, seeing her arrogant expression, Fang wanted to reprimand her, but Luo Shi rushed out one after another.Yuan Sun saw that her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was disheveled, her face was full of anger, her expression and movements were full of arrogance, and she had no demeanor at all. Although her heart was contemptuous, she still stood still, called "Sister-in-law", and answered with a forced smile. Said: "I just came back, and I haven't seen my mother yet. My sister-in-law has something to say, so let's talk about it after I say good morning to my mother." Yuan Sun saw Luo Shi's aggressive expression, which was very unusual. He didn't know what happened when he first came back, so he wanted to ask his mother for clarification. details, in order to cope.Just blurted out, Luo Shi said angrily: "Look at your mother, it's nothing important. I've been waiting for you all night, and I can't wait any longer. You have to explain everything to me before you leave." , I meant to say a few words, I insisted on seeing my mother come again, and I was afraid that I would make my mother angry by chasing the backyard, and I also promised to be wronged under my mother's order, but I just took my anger out on last night's banquet, what's the big deal , I thought it would be better to develop it on the spot, but I was still puzzled, and replied with a smile on purpose: "My sister-in-law has something urgent to discuss with me. Since you are so busy, please tell me." Although Luo Shi did not receive much education in her natal family and has a perverse temperament, after all, she has been married to Shili's family for many years, and the people who come and go are all dignitaries from the aristocratic family.In addition, the husband is cowardly, the mother-in-law is kind and gentle, the family is gentle, the father-in-law is dignified in his family, the most important thing is etiquette, and he is more generous. He has a temper and has no place to vent it.At the beginning, when the enemy met, he was just furious, and he was still afraid that his servants would hear the ridicule when he heard the words. Hearing the words, he yelled angrily: "There are too many words. Go to my room and talk about it. I can't make it clear today." Yuan Sun still pretended. Puzzled, he said "strange thing" and nodded his head.Luo Shi turned his head and left, and when he reached the end of the room, Hou Cheng usually sat in the room, sat down on the mahogany chair by the table, and pointed to Yuan Sun and asked, "Second brother, I have been enemies with you for seven and eight generations, why can't I suffer?" ?Your father is in Japan, so you won’t talk about it, now that your father is dead, and your mother and mother depend on my husband for food, why are you so cruel to cut me off? " Yuan Sun sat down across from him, still with a calm expression on his face. After Luo Shi finished speaking, he calmly replied: "This is nonsensical, I don't understand. My uncle and sister-in-law only occasionally sit in the mother's room except for New Year's celebrations, birthdays and funerals. Zhonghe met each other at dinner every day. Since my father passed away, my sister-in-law and my nephews had dinner in their own room. I usually read books in the study and never went out to see friends. Sometimes I only do my brother's courtesy and don't talk much. In the past four or five years, I have been running around with my father. I rarely meet my sister-in-law a few times a year, and there is no offense. How can I talk about bullying? As for the current family, Before the father passed away and the brothers were not yet established, in response to what the father said, the eldest son and the state-owned ministers, everything should be arranged by the elder brother and sister-in-law. At present, although Dad has some money left, he can spend three or two years with it, but in the future, the elder brother will bear the heavy burden alone. My sister-in-law said just now that we rely on the eldest brother for food, so it should be logically speaking. It's almost half, it seems to be a bit early. I cut off my eldest brother and sister-in-law's livelihood, no matter whether I rely on my elder brother for food in the future, it is unreasonable, and there is no such thing. I would like to ask for clarification, but my family rules never allow it. Petty offenders, they have no respect for their elders, and uncles and sisters-in-law have no reason to fight. If I go on speaking, I am afraid that my sister-in-law will misbelieve people's words for a while, and will be blamed more. Brothers are young and ignorant, and their words are disrespectful, and they will be laughed at by outsiders. Sister-in-law feels like a brother If you have any faults, you might as well tell your eldest brother that you will be punished according to my family rules, and your brother will be responsible. Fortunately, Gao Shige will return to Zhenjiang in the afternoon. When he saw his mother when he was young, he wrote to Gao Shixiong to bring a message and invite his elder brother to come back. I will not accompany you That's it." After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
