Chapter 171 Plan
The second master and the second lady talked to the old lady Sun for a while, and then retreated and returned to their yard. Sitting on the small kang in the room, the second lady Danyu sent away the maids, and then looked at the second master sitting in the chair reading a book. The second lady said, "Master, I see you have time to beg the old lady to find a job for yourself?"
Sun Shaozhong, the second master, listened to the old lady, and his eyes instinctively shook. He sat straight in the chair and continued to stare at the book: "It's not urgent."
The second lady had a panoramic view of the second master's actions just now. She knew in her heart that her husband was the son of a concubine and was afraid that her mother and granddaughter would be afraid for a lifetime, but her husband's biological mother and aunt had long hidden in the temple, far away from the trouble in the house, and finally died in the temple. However, even if the old aunt stayed in the house, she didn't dare to come out when she saw Mrs. Sun. The couple lived with Mrs. Sun until they came to the third brother's house in the capital. The husband was unemployed, but barely made a living by Sun Shaozu and the Zhuangzi shop of his ancestors, so the second lady and the second master had little savings. Now, the second lady looked at the second master with a little obscene appearance, and the second lady really sighed.
The second lady stood up and walked to the second master, picked up the beauty and patted her gently on the second master's shoulder: "Sir, haven't you seen the situation at home yet? The old lady only cares about her third brother and second sister. How can she take care of you and her eldest sister and third brother? Although we can live on food and clothing, how much do you and I have? Seeing that Taoer and Keeer have grown up in three or five years, they naturally had to discuss marriage at that time, but now looking at our situation, it really makes me a little worried.
Sun Shaozhong put down the book in his hand and looked at the brush in the corner of the case. "If Taoer and Ji'er get married, his mother will naturally not ignore it."
"Sir, why are you so confused? Although the mother is going to marry the two children, isn't it mainly for us to marry our own daughter-in-law? Can we all count on our mother? Who doesn't want his son to marry a more decent daughter-in-law, but look at the situation of our family, how can he have the qualifications to propose marriage with those rich families or some official positions? Even if there is such a person who is willing to marry us, she must not be the direct daughter. Moreover, it takes a lot of money to marry. At that time, can the master still ask his third brother for help?
Sun Shaozhong didn't say anything, his eyes were half drooping, and he said for a long time, "I think the third brother is not that kind of ruthless person."
The second lady listened to the second master's words, and her eyes flashed with disdain, "Sir, can't you see the situation at home? Look at the second sister's domineering and unreasonableness. With such a shrewd person as the third sister, there is no good one in her, let alone us. Don't say anything else, just talk about today. Who can't see that the third sister-in-law is already helping the second sister? Can you see that the second sister appreciates her? Such a confused person, coupled with the old lady's love for her second sister and Brother Pu, will only rely on them to make trouble. Have we seen less before?
"Speaking of your three siblings, how can they be a simple figure? The old lady doesn't like us in the first place. It's just a matter of affection. Over time, the master said, even if we can deal well with the second sister and the old lady, is the third sister rubbing sand in her eyes? In my opinion, the days of quarrel between the unreasonable second sister and the third brother-in-law of the city are still ahead. Have we been in the muddy water here?
The second master turned his head and looked at the second lady in astonishment: "No wonder... do you want to live in the house?"
The second lady put down the beauty and sat on the chair not far from the second master. "Sir, this will happen sooner or later." The second lady looked up at the second master: "Master, you have to make a plan early. Don't say anything else. You begged the old lady. Isn't there a shop in the capital? Please beg the old lady to let you take care of the shop. Even if the master is not in charge of the shop, it is good to be able to learn. It is not guaranteed that we will open a shop by ourselves in the future. The master thinks carefully, isn't there a way out.
The second master looked at the second lady's face without a smile, opened his mouth, and said Ai Ai for a long time, "The shop in the city belongs to the third brother, and my mother... is not bad for us. You calculate that we have more monthly cases than the third brother, and we also have the most monthly cases in this house."
"Even if there are five taels of silver, what can I do? Now the master is inscuring how much money it takes to marry a bride? How much money do you need for your mother's bride price? How much money does it cost to set up a decent banquet? Sir, why don't you need white money?
"I'm afraid... my mother won't agree..."
The second lady hates the second master's weak nature. No wonder the second lady doesn't like the second master, and no one will like a piece of mud that can't hold the wall like this. The second lady became secretly melancholy. At the beginning, she was just a girl from a small family. Looking at the Sun family, her ancestors had official positions and a village shop at home. Although Sun Shaozhong is a concubine, his parents have always been proud of their marriage. And now look, the second lady is really regretful.
Thinking of this, the second lady looked cold: "You haven't said it yet. How do you know that the old lady doesn't agree? Besides, you should tell the old lady that you have been without an official position for so many years and have nothing to do. You have lived like this for 40 years and want to learn in the shop. Isn't this old lady allowed to do it?
The second master's eyes trembled, "Say to my mother like this... I'm afraid..."
"Well, you are always afraid of wolves and tigers when you mention your mother like this. When will you look like a man?
The second master was slightly drooped by the second lady, holding the book in front of him, and his voice was weaker: "You also know my mother's nature. I'm really afraid that she won't agree..."
The second lady banged the beauty on the window. The second master's body couldn't help shrinking. He looked up at the second lady, who was staring at the second master angrily. The second master quickly looked at his toes, "Why don't I... talk to the third brother first? After all, the shop in Duzhong is the third brother's. If the third brother is willing to say a word or two for me from his mother, it will be cheaper."
The second lady really doesn't want to see the second master anymore. She went to the beauty's couch, lay down and said to the second master, "It's up to you." Then I didn't say anything anymore.
Yingchun returned to the room, spread the paper with a pen, and picked up the heart scriptures. Today, it is a little surprising that Mrs. Sun is so biased towards herself. Thinking back on all kinds of things in Mrs. Sun's room, Yingchun also felt that she spoke a little too much. Because she was angry with Sun Huiying, she didn't even pay attention to Mrs. Sun's thoughts. As a result, she was punished by Mrs. Sun.
Yingchun is not afraid of punishment, and she also knows that Mrs. Sun only punished herself on the surface and blocked everyone's mouths. In fact, Mrs. Sun's punishment for Sun Huiying is more serious. But you can't ignore a mother's heart because of Mrs. Sun's love for herself. Yingchun secretly regretted it. After all, which mother would like to see others say that about her children?
Yingchun copied the scriptures very seriously. In an hour, all the scriptures had been copied. Yingchun asked Sizhu to sort out the good heart scriptures, and then asked Huaijiao to find a tray and put the heart economy neatly on the tray. After all this, Yingchun brought the girl to Mrs. Sun's main room.
With the announcement of the little girl, Yingchun entered Mrs. Sun's main house. Mrs. Sun was sitting on the couch with a silver-inlaid emerald magnifying glass and looking at the flowers painted by Mai Dong. When Mrs. Sun saw Yingchun coming in, she didn't stop. She just looked at the flowers and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yingchun walked to Mrs. Sun with a smile and knelt down decisively. Mrs. Sun was stunned, put aside the silver-inlaid emerald magnifying glass in her hand and looked at Yingchun fixedly, "Okay, what is this?"
Yingchun lowered her head: "My daughter-in-law spoke very presumptuously, which annoyed my mother. My daughter-in-law came to apologize to my mother."
Mrs. Sun looked down at Yingchun. When she saw that Yingchun knelt down just now, she didn't even avoid Mai Dong's maids. She knew that Yingchun was indeed sincere to apologize and didn't care about the face of the master. Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun looked up at Mai Dong, and Mai Dong retreated with the girls.
"Get up, the ground is strangely cold."
Yingchun did not get up, but still knelt straight in front of Mrs. Sun. "Mother, it's all a bad daughter-in-law. She didn't even let her second sister say those pickles. The daughter-in-law knew that my mother loved me and kept a face for her daughter-in-law in front of everyone. She did not deeply blame her daughter-in-law, but she knew that she had done something wrong.
When Mrs. Sun heard Yingchun's words, she actually knew her thoughts and frowned. Just know it. Get up." Mrs. Sun said and reached out to welcome the spring before the ramen. Yingchun stood up, still with his head half hanging down.
Mr. Sun said, "I also know that today's thing is that Yinger did something wrong first. I don't want to bias you, but to teach Yinger some lessons. It seems that the girl's house is about to make a marriage. If it goes on like this, who dares to come to propose marriage? Mrs. Sun looked at Yingchun, "However, I also want to say a few words about you. You are not young and can't do anything. What kind of style is this? Let the servants laugh at you."
"Mother's lesson is right. Mother, I have finished copying the heart scriptures, and my daughter-in-law also knows that it is wrong. I won't do it next time.
"That's all. After all, you are still sensible. Don't do these things after that. Go down."
Yingchun gave a deep salute to Mrs. Sun before retreating.
