Chapter 178(2/2)
Zhao Yong had his own idea, and the old god was there, "Marriage is no better than anything else, so you can't hurry. You should be busy with Arong's marriage first. If you want more hair loss, ask Changqing to prescribe for you." It is particularly convenient to be a daughter who knows medical skills.
Ling choked her husband to death, turned around and was too lazy to talk anymore, so let them go with the father and daughter, and don’t worry when he saw Shi Lao at home!
Zhao Yong and Zhao Changqing were not anxious. However, after Zhao Rong knew that the prefect's wife asked about her marriage, she told Ling, "My sister's affairs have not been settled yet, so where can I talk about me first? Even if the prefect's wife proposes to marry her, she should talk about her sister first."
Ling just thought that her young daughter was well-behaved and sensible, and smiled with relief, "Your sister's marriage is not urgent. This is your fate, and it is your favorite. Your father and I think the family is okay. Your father goes to ask about the character of the magistrate. If both are OK, then settle down and you will be in the forefront."
Seeing that Zhao Changqing could not be evaded, Zhao Rong curled her lips and said, "Although the magistrate's family is good, my mother thinks about it and doesn't look elsewhere. In our family, Cousin Teng has been working for the imperial examination since she was a child, and she won the scholar on the 17th. Not to mention Abai, she is one year younger than Cousin Teng, and she won the scholar on the 16th. And Aning, she will also be the one who will be the scholar next year. Ayu is young and has also been admitted to the official school through his own abilities. I often interact with Sister Xu. Mr. Xu is the same age as her sister, and she doesn't even have the fame of a scholar, and she is not as good as a poem. What's the use of a good family? It's the ability of Mr. Xu, not the ability of Mr. Xu."
Ling said, "Even if Mr. Xu has no fame, donating an official in the future is still a future. The key is that he has a good character. As long as he has a good character, your life will be smooth in the future. You are young and don't know these things, so don't worry about it. I and your father will worry about you."
Zhao Rong was not very happy and didn't say anything for the time being. She said, "Mom, Yihua said that her parents came to her and wanted to redeem her."
Ling didn't like Yihua very much. After hearing what his youngest daughter said, she didn't ask much, and said, "She is also at the age of marriage. She originally planned to find a son-in-law for her in the mansion servant. Since her family members are here, let her go out. It would be fine if she serves you and redeems the money. If you reward her with two pieces of materials for her to dowry, it would be better for you to be a master and servant."
Zhao Rong smiled and replied, "Okay."
Because of sending Yihua, Ling couldn't help but ask Zhao Changqing, "Yongfu is not young anymore, are you planning on it?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I will never treat Yongfu badly. But Yihua, mother, don't think I'm too careless. I've never heard her say that her hometown was abducted by human traffickers when she was a child. Later, she reselled it for people to come to our mansion. Where did my parents come from? That girl must have found a good place to go when she goes out like this."
Ling didn't believe it and said, "How can this be? She just wanted to marry outside, so she told me directly, would I stop me? Our family is not that mean family."
"I hope I think too much."
I have to say that Zhao Changqing is very foresighted.
However, Zhao Changqing did not expect that it was all because of Yihua that caused a huge disaster!
The Zhao family went to Zhu's house to pay tribute to Mrs. Zhu. After saying a few words, she saw Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Liu coming together. Naturally, the younger generations gave her a greeting. Ling was not careful at first, but when the maid took the tea she brought to Mrs. Zhu, Ling was shocked. She was a person with no scheming and immediately said, "Yihua? Isn't this Yihua? Why did you come to the ancestor's house?"
Mrs. Zhu was trembling with hatred, and she still smiled, "Now I won't call Yihua anymore, I changed my name to Hehua. This girl is lucky. I'm going to be treated, so I put her in the house for Brother Lu to be the house."
After all, she was a close maid from a daughter. Even though she was a small family, her face felt hot. Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "I have to thank Sister Rong. The girl who has such a well-treated girl is different. She is particularly gentle and sensible."
Zhao Rong could no longer expect Yihua to have an affair with Zhu Lu, and she was immediately angry. She just thought that Mrs. Zhu was a third-rank imperial edict and an elder. She really knew how to respond, so she had to look at her mother Ling without any control.
Ling's face was purple and swollen, and her whole body was trembling, but she couldn't speak. Zhao Changqing patted her mother's hand, smiled and took Mrs. Zhu's words, "I dare not take this from my uncle and grandma. This girl is also strange. A few days ago, she said that her own father and mother came to redeem her. Our family has always been lenient to her servants. She thought that her parents would come to redeem her, and she didn't want the money to redeem her. My mother also rewarded her with two big red materials as a dowry, so she let her go out. Lotus, how did you get into the Zhu family? Let me understand. Where is your father? Where is your mother?"
Zhao Changqing asked the lotus with a few words, and Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "We small families also need to choose the hands of a serious slaughter. Where can I buy this girl from? It's really awesome."
Old Mrs. Zhu listened silently for a moment, then asked with a heavy face, "What the hell is going on?"
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly changed her words and fooled Mrs. Zhu, "It was Arong's personal girl. Somehow, she went into the mansion to be a man in Lu Ge'er's house. I was thinking that this was not very suitable, so I planned to leave this girl and continue to use it for Arong."
Zhao Changqing said to his heart, "My uncle and grandma said this. As a doctor, the lotus eyebrows have dispersed and are no longer perfect. Should I return to my house with Master Lu's child in my stomach? Then will I be born with Zhu or Zhao?"
Before Mrs. Zhu said anything, Mrs. Zhu turned the eighty-four people away, and she was not confused at all. In this moment, she understood the whole story. She picked up a teacup and threw it at Mrs. Zhu's feet, and scolded angrily, "I'm not dead yet, you dare to bully your sister in front of me! When I close my eyes, who else is in your eyes! Get out!"
Mrs. Zhu could not sit still, so she quickly got up, her face flushed and could not speak. Mrs. Zhu Liu hurriedly advised, "Don't calm down..."
"You sisters-in-law are talking and laughing. I guess you have a good idea!" Old Mrs. Zhu said sternly, and Mrs. Zhu Liu didn't dare to speak anymore. However, when Zhao Changqing saw that Old Mrs. Zhu's face changed, he quickly asked the maid to take Jingxin Dan, served Old Mrs. Zhu and persuaded warmly, "But there are misunderstandings in the matter of a girl. Don't get angry with the ancestors, it's all our younger generations."
Old Mrs. Zhu closed her eyes and sighed, "Since your uncle went out to be an official, he has been in a flash for forty years. Except for me who went to the imperial capital for a while, he can count the number of times he went back to the border town, not much or no, only eight times. Over the years, all I have been by my side are you children. Your grandmother is a person who can't speak in her heart. I often say that she is stupid. Now it seems that this stupid person has the benefits of being stupid. At least his descendants are filial and blessed with me, the old woman."
Old Mrs. Zhao is also gray-haired. Seeing that Old Mrs. Zhu is so sad, she couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't say that, we are all mother's children and grandchildren."
Old Mrs. Zhu sighed, "I'm here one day, you come to see me every month. This is the relationship between us mother and daughter. If I'm gone one day, you don't have to come over again. That's the case for this family."
"Okay, let's go all out, I'm tired too."
Zhao Changqing often came to pay tribute to Mrs. Zhu since she was young. Although it was not as close as Zhu Ling and the others, she had a little affection with Mrs. Zhu over the years. Zhao Changqing saw how Mrs. Zhu worked hard for this family. Now, Mrs. Zhu was so discouraged. Zhao Changqing was also sad and said with tears in his heart, "If my ancestors are tired, it is better to stay in the Grand Master's House for a few days. Come and accompany each other for less time. It would be enough for the ancestors to worry about each other for a lifetime." Their relatives and grandchildren are so cold! If Mrs. Zhu has a slight respect, they should not bring such things to Mrs. Zhu.
Holding Zhao Changqing's hand, Old Lady Zhu burst into tears.
Old Mrs. Zhu was a little bad that day, but she couldn't get up in three or five days. Grandpa Zhu also rushed back home from the other courtyard. After seeing Mrs. Zhu, Grandpa Zhu ordered his eldest son, "Call your second, third and fifth brothers back."
Uncle Zhu's face was very haggard and said, "Son will write a letter now."
Uncle Zhu Liu followed Uncle Zhu and left the house with his brother, and whispered, "Brother, call all the grandchildren back."
Uncle Zhu choked up and said, "Okay." He was not that unfilial son, especially for his mother. He had some feelings for his mother. He resigned and returned to his hometown this time and wanted to be filial, but he didn't want his mother to be so angry that his wife couldn't get sick. This is how can Uncle Zhu feel at ease? If it weren't for looking at his children and grandchildren, Uncle Zhu would have the heart to strangle Mrs. Zhu to death.
Mrs. Zhu was even more frightened. She was self-reliant in the imperial capital, her family was a scholarly family, and her brothers and nephews had official positions. She also became famous for many years along the way. She did look down on these relatives in the hometown. She just said conscientious words to her parents-in-law and rarely set rules in front of her parents-in-law, so she naturally had less respect. However, this is different from making her mother-in-law angry to death! If this matter is spread, she would not have to live. But the family is worried about Mrs. Zhu's body, so she just can't take care of her for the time being.
As frightened as Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu Liu, who wanted to watch the fun, but she didn't take it seriously, turned herself in. If someone else's family's affairs, Mrs. Zhu Liu might have persuaded Mrs. Zhu Liu to be a little bit more. The fact that it was related to the Zhao family. When Zhao Changqing came to make a fuss about Zhuzhuang, Mrs. Zhu Liu had a long time ago. Mrs. Zhu Liu had enough of the Zhao family! What's more, in her eyes, the Zhao family was still the Zhao family who was newly widowed and brought her son to ask for help from dozens of taels of silver! Now Zhao Yong has only been a hundred households, so he doesn't take the Zhu family seriously. Zhao Changqing is a little girl and dares to come to the door to scold an elder without any face! This is how Mrs. Zhu Liu can swallow this breath! Zhu Lu and Yihua have a private relationship and secretly keep people outside to raise them.
Then, this matter cannot be hidden from others, nor can it be hidden from others! Mrs. Zhu is the most rude to help her relatives and ignorant, especially Yihua is Zhao Rong's personal girl. Mrs. Zhu burned the Zhao family with a fierce fire! Mrs. Zhu Liu knew that she could only watch the Zhao family jokes, but she didn't want to cause such a thing! She has been with Mrs. Zhu for many years, but Mrs. Zhu Liu didn't know how powerful her mother-in-law is. When Mrs. Zhu pointed out that she was standing on the shore to watch the fun, Mrs. Zhu Liu knew that the big thing was not good, but she never expected that Mrs. Zhao would be so angry about this because of this! Mrs. Zhu Liu was afraid and regretful, and had a lot of worries, so she lay down. But how could Uncle Zhu Liu spare her? Not to mention illness, as long as she was still breathing, she would ask someone to help Mrs. Zhu Liu away!
Zhu Mingtang also sent someone to Gansu Prefecture to call his son who was preparing for the autumn examination. Yuan and his friends were taking turns to take care of Mrs. Zhu and sighed to her husband privately, "The ancestors said before the New Year that they would wait for Brother Qing to win the family, and the family was very lively."
Zhu Mingtang sighed, "I am preparing for it first. When my ancestors arrive at the age of ninety, my family will have to do a big job."
Yuan's eyes were slightly red, "I'm also blamed me for being stupid and not persuaded my ancestors well..." In my heart, Mrs. Zhu was blamed for being uncautious. She took the big things to the old man and shouted, "A man of this age can't resist a sensation. Of course, she also has her own mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu Liu...
It was related to the elders, and Zhu Mingtang was not easy to talk about, and said, "Don't say this, my second aunt comes here every day. At this age, don't be tired of the elderly. I pack up a few rooms and ask my aunt to live in."
"I had already asked the maid to clean up the house, and my second aunt brought Changqing to live there. My third aunt also arranged to live there. I wonder if the three aunts who were married outside would come back?"
"Prepare it first."
In fact, it is useless for the descendants to take turns. Master Zhu kept guarding Mrs. Zhu. However, in just a few days, Master Zhu was as white as snow as black hair. Even though some children and grandchildren came to persuade Master Zhu to rest, Master Zhu never gave them a good look and scolded them and drove them out.
Yuan privately asked Zhao Changqing, "The great master is not a few years younger than the old lady. Young people are still unable to bear it, let alone the old man. The great master likes you. Changqing, you advise the great master to take a break at least. I am so tired. How can we feel at ease?"
Zhao Changqing said, "Where is the one who uses my aunt to tell me alone? I have persuaded me long ago. But no one can persuade me what the great master wants to do. The great master guards the old lady, with his children and grandchildren on the side, and the two old men serve me together."
Yuan was worried, "That's all."
Grandpa Zhu still only likes Zhao Changqing, and he also said to Zhao Changqing from time to time, "This is how people live. For example, this old woman has endless hearts to worry about in her life; like me, eat, drink and have fun all my life; it is all like this. In fact, it is the same whether the children and grandchildren come or not. The old woman loves to worry about all her life. I guess she is willing to see them. I don't know if they are willing to see this old woman."
Uncle Zhu’s mood is conceivable, saying, “The son is ashamed of his father’s words.”
Master Zhu waved his hand, "What are you doing when you say these clichés? I just said it casually, just pretend you didn't hear it. How can you mediocre people understand what I said? I said to Changqing."
Zhao Changqing said in a gentle voice, "In this world, only parents can treat their children like this."
Master Zhu smiled, "Even if you have a heart and lungs, it depends on whether the other party is rare. The Zhu family is carried forward by me and the old woman. Even if you die, you will not be considered as having no face. Boss Liu, I am no longer with the old woman. Can you support the Zhu family?"
Uncle Zhu hurriedly said, "The sons still need the guidance of their father and mother."
Uncle Zhu Liu advised, "Father, the imperial doctor said that as long as you take good care of yourself, your mother will be in good health."
Master Zhu really has no common language with these two sons.
Half a month later, the whole family of children and grandchildren arrived, and together with great grandchildren, they couldn't put a room, so many people lined up to the yard. Old Mrs. Zhu and his ten sons and five daughters all arrived in front of the old woman's bed, with sadness in their eyes.
After taking a dose of ginseng soup from Thousand Years of Ginseng, Mrs. Zhu woke up in the morning and looked at these children. Mrs. Zhu's voice was very soft, "I have a clear conscience to raise you to grow up."
A word made everyone cry.
Old Mrs. Zhu said, "Where is the eldest grandson?"
Zhu Mingshen, the eldest grandson of uncle Zhu, was also a person in his early forties. Because he was far away, he really didn’t have much deep feelings for Mrs. Zhu. Zhu Mingshen knelt in front of the old lady and shouted, “Grandma.”
Old Mrs. Zhu nodded slightly and asked, "Ah Qing is here?" This is her great-grandson.
Zhu Qingji was so sad that he hurried in and knelt in front of the old lady's bed. The old lady Zhu asked again, "Changqing?"
Zhao Changqing endured his sadness, "Old Ancestor."
Old Mrs. Zhu nodded again, "I have been thinking about waiting for you to get married and I will close my eyes before closing my eyes. Now it seems that I can't wait."
"Old Ancestor--" He was speechless in his throat, and tears couldn't help but roll down.
Old Mrs. Zhu looked at the whole family and sighed, "It's people who have this experience, so don't be sad for me. But I still can't rest assured that you are. If I go, you will become motherless children."
Uncle Zhu cried bitterly and rushed forward to hold his mother's dry hand, "Mother, mother, I'm sorry to mother--"
"Silly kid, don't say these stupid words." Old Mrs. Zhu asked, "Where is the eldest daughter-in-law and the sixth daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Zhu Liu was supported by the maids. Mrs. Zhu said, "I will hand over the eldest and the eldest son to you. You must serve them well." This is what I meant to forgive my two daughters-in-law. Mrs. Zhu Liu has had a very difficult life these days. After hearing what the old lady said, the two responded in tears. As for the right or regret or joy in their hearts, they didn't know.
Mrs. Zhu looked at the people and said, "Boss, second and third brothers are my biological children. The fourth brothers, fifth brothers, sixth brothers, seventh brothers, eighth brothers, ninth brothers, and tenth brothers are illegitimate children. There are also a few girls who have called me mothers for the rest of my life, and they are also my children. Over the years, the sixth brothers have been serving me. The things I saved have been divided long ago. I took out 5,000 taels for funeral envoys, so don't do it. The rest, the sixth brothers have two portions, each of you. There are also Changsun, Brother Qing, and Changqing, which is my makeup for her future marriage. Another 10,000 silver will be added to the clan and can only be used for clan studies. Whoever dares to use them indiscriminately is the unfilial descendants of the Zhu family."
"There are also the maids in our yard, five hundred taels of first-class maids, three hundred taels of second-class maids, one hundred taels of third-class maids, fifty taels of each maid. When I die, let the maids go out."
After Mrs. Zhu finished speaking, she looked at Mr. Zhu and stopped talking. Mr. Zhu sighed, "While your mother still has a breath, the two brothers of the clan are here, so I will give you all the same. It's so embarrassing to get the time when you get it."
"You each got married, and the family was divided once. Now your mother's things are also divided, and the rest is mine. A few days ago, I ordered someone to send them to your family. Before that, Lao Lao Liu, I will make it clear for you to have a clear understanding of the affairs of your two families to avoid being upset." Mr. Zhu said, "Boss is out to be an official, and Lao Liu has raised me and his wife in his hometown. Over the years, I have worked hard even if I have no contribution. You brothers know the property of the family, so you don't have to.
I would like to say more, the one that can’t be confused about is this ancestral home. Over the years, Lao Liu has made money and purchased several houses in succession, which is the Zhu family today. I asked someone to keep the original old house alone, which is the Liufangyuan. Boss, if you seal the moon gate of Liufangyuan in your hometown in the future, it is the ancestral home. Except for Liufangyuan, Lao Liu, what you have earned over the years is what you have earned. While I am here, you will divide it clearly. Do you have any opinions?"
Uncle Zhu, Uncle Zhu Liu, did not have any objections, and he responded in tears. As for Uncle Zhu Liu, he was even more grateful to his parents. Because of his legitimate mother's relationship, the brothers were not not close, but he had selfish intentions. Uncle Zhu Liu, originally thought about his legitimate mother's furniture, and it must be the ones who were born in the legitimate brothers, but he did not expect that it was his family who took the big head. Thinking of this, and thinking about the teachings of his legitimate mother over the years, Uncle Zhu Liu, couldn't help but burst into tears.
The two clan elders were in their homes, so Master Zhu invited the two clan elders to testify and directly used the draft agreement to seal it.
Mr. Zhu also divided his own private houses to his descendants according to the distribution method of Mrs. Zhu. Everyone divided two inheritance lists with private seals. It can be seen that the two elders were indeed prepared.
Mr. Zhu even divided the villa he lived in and said to Zhao Changqing, "I originally wanted to leave the villa for you, but if you don't have a surname, Zhu, and you will give you too much, it may not be a blessing. Besides, you are not short of a villa now. In the future, live according to your wishes. I would like to give you two warnings. It's okay to do many stupid things in this life. Doing one or two things right at critical moments is enough to be free in this life. Changqing, you have done one thing right and the other one, you must be careful."
Tears flowed out of their own way, and they couldn't even wipe them away. Zhao Changqing felt something in his heart, and couldn't help but lean on Master Zhu's knees and cry, "I know, Master, I remember it."
Master Zhu stroked her hair and sighed, "You are the only one of my descendants who looks like me the most."
After Master Zhu divided his private property, he sent his children and grandchildren out, and sent them out with Zhao Changqing. Old Mrs. Zhu was still sober. She looked at her husband's white hair and asked softly, "Is your hair... white for me?"
Master Zhu held his wife's hand and whispered, "I just want to be old for you."
A clear smile appeared in the gradually cloudy old Mrs. Zhu's eyes, "Okay."
Let me be selfish once too. I am so lonely on the road to the underworld, and I am willing to have someone I love and the Prime Minister will follow me in my old age.
Life is so long. When all the wind blows away with the rain and the wind, you are the only one who is by my side, only you. When all the love, hate, and love are seen through, I always understand that you are my best companion and best wife.
