Chapter 44: Treat others in their own way

When I came to Zhen's residence, I happened to see my daughter-in-law Jiang coming in from the outside with the maid. Helian Haoran said hello to him, and then walked into the main house with Jiang.

Zhen had already arranged a matter. When he suddenly saw her husband and his daughter-in-law coming in, he was surprised and surprised. But there was no time for another order, so I had to come forward and smile, "Master rarely comes back at this time. Why is it rare to be free today? Did you come here with your daughter-in-law?"

Helian Haoran still gave his wife dignity in front of his daughter-in-law and replied with a smile, "Well, as soon as I bumped into you in your yard, I asked her to come in together. It's rare to be free today, so I want to come back to accompany you. By the way, this tea smells good. Is it for your daughter-in-law?

Looking at the pot of "additioned" flower tea, Zhen's heart skipped and smiled and said, "Yes, this tea is made of this year's newly picked roses with red dates and wolfberries. The woman drinks it most to replenish blood and vitality. It's just that you are not suitable, sir. Why don't you ask someone to make another pot of dragon well for you?

"Well, it's up to you. By the way, I remember that you embroidered a few handkerchiefs for me a few days ago. Can you take them out and show them to me while you are free? The rest of the people are embroidered, and I always feel that it is not as good as yours.

When Zhen heard the words, her face was very light, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to get it."

With that, Zhen turned his head and walked into his room. Helian Haoran looked at the teacup in front of his daughter-in-law sitting down, and then looked at the teacup in front of his wife. His heart moved and casually saw a piece of jade pendant on his waist untied and said, "Oh, these people are getting worse and worse. Why did I drop this jade pendant?"

The daughter-in-law Jiang quickly possessed and said, "Sir, my daughter-in-law will help you pick it up."

Taking advantage of this time, Helian Haoran changed the two cups quietly, took the jade pendant handed over by his wife, and continued to sit down.

After sitting in his wife's room for a while and seeing his wife drink two cups of tea and leaving, Helian Haoran walked to the backyard to wash and change clothes. After taking a bath, I heard that my wife was not feeling well. The servants were busy making a mess and running around the room.

He was so confident that he shook his head and frowned secretly, saying that his wife's behavior was really getting less and less square. It seems that I really can't leave all these chores in the backyard behind.

After walking in, he saw Zhen sitting on the couch with a pale face, covering his stomach with one hand and humming. Seeing him come, she endured the pain and forced herself to smile, "I asked the master to see the joke, and my concubine suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Why don't you go to Aunt Shen's place to rest tonight?"

Helian Haoran nodded indifferently and casually said, "Do you have any problems? Do you want someone to invite the doctor in to have a look? But did you eat anything?"

Zhen knew in his heart that most of the time he dug a pit to bury people, but buried himself. Then he gritted his teeth and shook his head and said, "No, my concubine is fine. Sir, you have been busy all day. You'd better go to bed early!"

"Well, then I'll go to the study to rest first."

After saying that, Helian Haoran shook his head and came out of Zhen's room. As soon as I got to the door of the yard, I heard Zhen shouting, "Oh, no, someone, help me to the clean room behind me quickly..."

After several twists and turns, the people that Zhen has pulled are about to collapse. She leaned on the two women weakly and said with hatred, "What the hell is going on? Didn't you tell you to put laxatives in her cup?

"Yes, madam, the maidservant put it in person, absolutely nothing wrong. In the cup in front of the young lady, there is ba bean powder..."

"What's going on now? Come on, go and ask if there is anything wrong with the young lady after she goes back?

After the person who sent the message came back to report, Zhen was sure that she had lifted a stone and hit herself in the foot this time. However, what she puzzled was how the teacup in front of her daughter-in-law came to her mouth. The people around me know best that if they say this little thing, they will be mistaken and will not be used for a long time.

Thinking of the sudden coming of her husband and the coincidence of several things, Zhen's heart was even more uneasier. In this way, she was frightened that night and continued to run to the house. Only pull the individual to the shape and bone, almost dehydrated.

After dawn, she finally couldn't stand it anymore. After calling the doctor in to have a look, she said that she had eaten something wrong and prescribed two doses of medicine to make her rest for a period of time and avoid raw and spicy food.

In this way, Helian Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly told his confidants around his mother that the old lady's soup could no longer be in the hands of the old lady in the future. On the one hand, he secretly recuperated for his mother, hoping that his mother would get better day by day.

On the side of Song Mansion, Song Siwen's aftertery has been extremely mournful. Zhu Xiaoyan felt guilty, and secondly, she also felt that her son could not die in vain, or die. At the bottom, she should also be a decent show. In addition, now that she is in control of the middle gift of the whole family, she simply cheered and spends money like water, just wants to make the scene grand and beautiful.

When I was halfway through, I looked at the accounts. Good boy, I actually spent nearly 20,000 taels out in two days, and I felt a little uneasy. He called the people outside to help him deal with the printing money and asked, and when he learned that the monthly routine was working normally, he was relieved.

Because of the death of his son, Song Shi'an rarely came home earlier these two days. I just don't know why, every time he sees Zhu Xiaoyan, he will think of those disgusting locusts and the indescribable smell.

Although Chen's mother later drove the leeches out of her body and the smell gradually disappeared, he still felt numb and cold. Under such circumstances, not to mention asking him to sleep in the same bed with Zhu Xiaoyan at night, even if he sat next to her, he felt more or less frightened.

But what made Song Shi more restless was the charming Jianing. Speaking of which, he has seen a lot of so-called beauties over the years. In his backyard, he not only raised five or six aunts, but also these pink-headed flower kui outside, and he has also played a lot.

However, it is rare to meet a person who is as knowledgeable and has a good face and singing and writing. On a whim, he can't help but put some feelings into it. After telling the old lady that she was going to marry Jianing, he also thought about the new house for the first time.

Not only did he order the housekeeper to use all the facilities, but he rarely asked about the flowers and trees in the outside yard. He also took the pen in person and wrote a plaque for her yard, which was called Jiahuayuan.

However, because his son has just passed away, he can't marry the beauty as scheduled. He can only comfort Jianing and let her wait for herself in the Mingyue Building.

Such a move, in Zhu Xiaoyan's eyes, was a sharp pain in her heart. She knew that her position in Song Shixin's eyes was not as good as before. If it hadn't been for the loss of her son this time, she was afraid that even the power of the housekeeper would be taken away.

For today's plan, she needs to wake up and deal with this newcomer who is about to enter the door. As for her son, she also has the smartest and most stable eldest son Song Siyi, who is now the heaviest bargaining chip in her hand. As long as she masters it well, she believes that she can still sit firmly in this position.

On this day, after Song Shi'an went down, he didn't want to go home to look at the white plain flag hanging everywhere, and didn't want to see Zhu Xiaoyan's long-faded old face. The aunts in the backyard were also unbearable and impatient, so they ordered people to drive the carriage to the backyard door of the Mingyue Building.

I didn't say hello to Jianing in advance, so I went in. As I walked, I weighed a jewel necklace in my hand and thought about how to give her an unexpected surprise after seeing the beauty for a while.

As soon as I walked to the door of the yard where Jia Ning lived, I saw someone walking past me in a panic. As he walked, he turned around, looking like a mouse with his head in his arms.

Song Shi was a little surprised. Then he looked up and saw a pile of things thrown down from the upstairs. Jia Ning stood upstairs with her maid and said angrily, "Take away all these things sent by your master. I said that I have disappeared. If he dares to come here to harass me again, I will tell the left prime minister and ask him to treat your master, a shameless pervert!"

At this time, Song Shi'an had already understood that it was probably Jia Ning's former benefactor. At this time, he sent someone to send her something to ask for a kiss. He was proud and a little jealous, so he shouted at the subordinate who had run away: "Get out of here! If I ask you to see you again, I will definitely not spare your life!"

"Your excellency! When on earth did you marry a concubine? You have seen that these people are like bees, surrounding their concubines all day long. My concubine has already spoken, saying that she would like to thank the guests under the curtain, just waiting for you to marry me and pass through the door. But these people just don't give up. Today alone, my concubine has dealt with three people..."

Seeing the beautiful pear blossoms with rain and a very aggrieved appearance, Song Shi quickly comforted her with pain. He also said, "Who sent someone to deliver something just now? I sent someone to help you send it away, and I will never dare to harass you again.

Jia Ning snorted and didn't speak. Qiao Cui, the maid beside her, said quickly, "Who else? Isn't that the eldest son of Shengfu? Humph! Shameless, write some crooked poems and songs for our lady all day long, and send someone to send something that is not on the table. Our young lady has never seen him and has rejected him many times, but he still has a face. After hearing that the young lady is going to marry an adult, she even said something about a flower inserted in the cow..."

"Qiao Cui! If you are presumptuous, do you dare to say anything of these madmen in front of adults?

After drinking the maid, Jianing took Song Shi'an's hand and said, "Your excellency, you don't have to pay attention to these gossip. In a word, Jia Ning, I have made a promise to stay with the adults for a long time, so I will never live up to your wishes. Come on, let's go in and talk!"

With that, the two walked into the inner room under the service of the maid. However, Song Shi's anger can't be suppressed. At this age, he has a reputation and leisure to come out to ask Liu, but the biggest taboo is his age. Especially for the children of a prosperous family like Sheng Chonghua, in front of such a young and beautiful beautiful man as Jianing, his conceit is more and more unsistible for anyone to provoke.

Jia Ning looked at Song Shi'an's face. After some warmth, she asked Song Shi'an when she could take her through the door.

Song Shi'an was comfortable and calm, and his vigilance was relieved, so he closed his eyes and replied, "Wait a minute. I just passed away that time, so I can't avoid some people's words, can I? Besides, once such a thing spreads, it will be very bad for you in the future. Good boy, let me slow down again. Don't worry, I won't go up to my promise."

Jia Ning wiped the corners of her eyes aggrievedly and said, "I believe in you, but these days, people outside say that the second lady in your house is a first-class person. Now that my concubine has heard too many such rumors, she will naturally worry about whether my sister can't tolerate me, so she delays the days over and over again. I know that my sister has given birth to several children for you. She has worked hard and made great contributions, and my concubine can't be compared with her. However, my concubine's sincerity to you is also true..."

Hearing Jianing mention Zhu Xiaoyan, Song Shi was a little impatient. He interrupted her and said, "She? Don't worry, she just climbed to her current position by relying on me. I have already told her that if she dares to embarrass you after you come through the door in the future, I can't forgive her. Okay, baby, don't worry about this, just trust me. You don't even think about it. Who am I, your man? Not to mention in Song Mansion, that is, in the court, as long as I, Song, someone, will tremble in the Jinluan Hall.

Jia Ning heard the words, snuggled into his arms half-truly and half-falsely, and said in a coquettish voice, "Well, Jianing is naturally relieved that the master can say so."

When I came back from Jianing, it was very late. Song Shixin was still thinking about Sheng Chonghua's anger of robbing women with him, and remembered the worrying meat in Zilan's stomach, so he walked to Chunhua Courtyard. As soon as the doorkeeper's mother-in-law was about to pass it, she saw Song Shi'an waving his hand and then quietly walked in.

In the main room, Zhu Xiaoyan is painstakingly persuading her daughter Song Zilan, half begging and half angrily: "Lan'er, listen to your mother this time. Since this Chinese character is not good, Mrs. Sheng's attitude is so ambiguous. You are a big girl, and your father is now a face in the court. Things. What kind of mother-in-law do you want to find in the future? Why do you have to rush to wrong yourself and take him down?

"Mother! I have already told you that I like Hualang! He is very kind to me, just because he can't get married now, plus his eccentric mother... Besides, the daughter now even has his children, and this marriage requires even the dead daughter. Otherwise, my daughter would rather die!"

When Zhu Xiaoyan saw that her daughter moved out of the death-to-death set to blackmail herself, she was also very angry, so she pointed to her daughter's forehead and poked, "You dead girl, you can only be in the nest all day long! You have the ability to be arrogant in front of your mother and me. Why don't you have the ability to control your affair lover? I have heard that now he not only has several beautiful girls in his backyard, but also often hang out in the flower houses around the city recently. The few famous girls in the capital have a secret road with him. Such a man, I'm afraid that you can't control him after you get married in the future!"

When Song Zilan heard this, she suddenly raised her voice and said in a shy and angry voice, "Mom! Where did you get these words? It's all unfounded words, so that you can believe it? I know that there are several maids in his backyard, but who doesn't have such a person in a large family? Even if it's a father, don't you have several aunts? If it hadn't been for the timely death of the second brother, I'm afraid that Jianing would have been carried into the door by my father's eight-lifted sedan chair at this time! As for the girls in the flower building outside, those people are all acting. As Hualang personally told me, they are all contacts between friends. If others call, if they don't, how can you let him go out to socialize? Humph! I'm not the jealous woman who waits for a small belly. In the future, don't use it to persuade me. I can't listen to a word.

"You - good, you dead girl! For a man, you can contradict your mother like this! Tell me, what evil did I do in my previous life? In this life, I have to pay off your countless debts!"

Zhu Xiaoyan said and couldn't help crying. However, Song Zilan didn't appreciate it at all. She curled her lips and sneered and said, "You don't have to pretend in front of me. You know best that if you hadn't relied on the death of your second brother this time, how could you continue to hold the power of the housekeeper? Therefore, you'd better find a way for me to get married soon. We will marry a good mother-in-law, which will also be a great help for you in the future. You are a smart person, and you don't need your daughter to teach you these principles. Doesn't Mrs. Sheng always make friends with you? After a few days, you will visit her in person to see if there is any other way to let the dead girl leave the marriage as soon as possible..."

Song Shi'an listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, shook his head and frowned and walked in. Zhu Xiaoyan was not worried that he would come in silently at this time. She was shocked and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master is back? I'm going to make tea for you..."

"No, you go down first. I have a few words to say to Lan'er."

Song Shi'an sat down in front of his daughter with a cold face. Looking at your daughter's unmorphed belly and asked, "What on earth are you going to do with this piece of meat in your stomach?" Up to now, there is no accurate word from the Sheng family. If you can't hold the boy Sheng Chonghua, just take off this piece of meat. At that time, I have a way to ask Shengfu to whisper to you!"

Song Zilan didn't dare to act coquettishly to her father like Zhu Xiaoyan. She replied timidly, "Dad, my daughter knows that you love her, but her daughter is now his. This child... My daughter is really reluctant to take it off. Besides, didn't Shengfu say anything? I just beg my father to open my mouth and let my eldest sister withdraw the marriage. So, isn't it the best of both?

Song Shi'an snorted coldly and seemed to stay out of the matter. He only said, "What you said is so easy. If it's really so easy, why hasn't your mother settled the matter for you after so long? Besides, now this marriage is no longer related to your eldest sister, and Helian's family will not sit idly by. If there is no legitimate reason, the big girl will open her mouth, and the Helian family will also hold on to this matter.

When Song Zilan heard this, she begged aggrievedly, "Dad, you are now the left prime minister. How dare you challenge you? Besides, the eldest sister is also your daughter. If you have an order, does she dare to disobey your meaning? You discipline your daughter. What's the interference of Helian's family? If the eldest sister dares to inform them, isn't it an unfaithful and unfilial person?

Song Zilan only focused on attracting fire to Zichu's body, but she didn't expect that she was caught by Song Shi'an and asked, "What if Dad insists on letting you get rid of this child?" Will you also uphold filial piety and obey your words?

"This... Dad..." Song Zilan was asked that she was poor, and she didn't dare to nod or say anything to anger Song Shi'an. Seeing this, Song Shi'an knew that his daughter was raised for nothing.

He has always been cold to his children, that is, his two sons, and for him, he is just a person who inherits incense. As for these daughters? From birth to now, he hasn't looked at it much. Anyway, it's all the water spilled by the married daughter. Since this loseter doesn't listen to her, she doesn't have to think about father and daughter. Just look at whether this boy surnamed Sheng is obedient or not. If he is still obedient, hum... Don't blame him for being cruel first.

Song Shi'an was determined on this side, and he didn't bother to talk to Song Zilan any more, so he went straight away.

Zhu Xiaoyan waited at the door nervously. It was easy to see her husband coming out of it, but she looked cold. He ignored himself and left directly.

After coming in, she will inevitably complain about her daughter, "What did you just say to your father?" Why did he leave with an unhappy face?

Song Zilan was also a second-year-in-law monk, so he repeated Song Shi'an's words to his mother. Hearing that her husband was quite dissatisfied with Shengfu in his words, Zhu Xiaoyan guessed wisely: "Is it possible that your father has any conflict with Shanren in the court? Most of the things between this man are caused by business. Otherwise, how can your father advocate letting you take away the child for no reason?

Song Zilan was afraid and was a little confused when she was afraid, so she took her mother's hand and pleaded, "What should I do? Mother, hurry up and find Mrs. Sheng tomorrow! My daughter doesn't want to take off the child. Besides, if I take off the child, how can my daughter enter the door of Shengfu in the future?

Zhu Xiaoyan's previous fierce words were nothing to do with this daughter. You can only comfort him, "Don't worry. Haven't you figured it out yet? However, at this time, it is not convenient for my mother to go out to visit. Even if she goes, Mrs. Sheng may not meet her mother. On your side, you can ask Sheng Chonghua out and take this child to blackmail him. Let's see what he says?

Song Zilan was not sure, so she could only hesitate, "Can this work? Hualang... He doesn't like women to blackmail him or anything..."

"Hmm! Doesn't he like us blackmailing him? Well, don't do anything, just go and get rid of the child!"

Seeing her mother's incompetent posture, Song Zilan's mind was confused and had to hurriedly answer, "Okay, okay, I'll let someone inform him."

After witnessing his daughter walk out of her door, Zhu Xiaoyan sighed worriedly. She sat down at the table, spread out the account book in front of her, took a deep breath, and then managed to lift the pen.
