Chapter 144 Grandma's Marriage
Although February in Jinyangjing has already begun to spring, there is still some time before the spring flowers bloom. At the same time, the snow that has been rising from the end of January on the seventh and eighth days makes people feel any warmth. It was not until February 2nd that the sunshine finally leaned out of the wet clouds, and it was sunny for several consecutive days that the sky between heaven and earth The vast silver suit gradually melted, revealing the color of Qingwa Uke and Black Mountain White Stone.
Snow water seeps into the bluestone all day long, and the coldness in the city is a little better than when it snows.
Outside the corner door of Wei Guofu, two little men in jackets are stepping on the spring stool and knocking on the ice hanging on the eaves, constantly puffing their mouths, complaining that the north wind is still so cold.
A donkey cart stopped in front of the door, and the two little men came down from the spring bench and looked at the shabby carriage with green paint peeling off.
But seeing the semi-old thick cloth curtain lifted, a woman wrapped in a big red cloak came down with a thick layer of powder on her face, and her forehead and chin were amazingly white, but her cheeks were as red as chicken blood. Although she had a big silver plate face, she also let the little boy look at her eyes for a long time before she could see her eyebrows clearly.
A man came forward and bowed with a smile: "It's a cold day, why is grandma here?"
The person who came is the mother of Li, the second wife of the government.
Grandma Li got out of the car, glanced at the two little men, and only gave a gentle grace, and threw a few copper coins to the driver: "It was agreed, a total of 20 articles round trip. This trip is supposed to be ten sentences, but you dawdged, just walked for half an hour, which delayed my efforts. If you don't Reasonable people, it's good not to let you lose money. I'll send you a kind heart and give you five cents. It's all a pity that you didn't go in vain.
When the driver heard this, he was not convinced and jumped from the ground with a "tong" sound, but he was a backchild with a thick waist and round his eyes and retorted loudly: "This snowy day is cold and slippery, and you come from the outside city again. Don't say that in this kind of weather, even if you work on the ground on weekdays, it will take about two moments. Besides If it hadn't been agreed to make a round trip and wouldn't let me pull people back empty, who would like to take this trip? Grandma can inquire about the market. From another city, who won't give fifteen or six cents in a single trip? Looking at your clothes, you are also a big family, and you are old. How can you blacksed me of this hard money? What can you do with five penny at the moment? It costs seven or eight yuan to buy a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
As soon as Grandma Li saw the driver standing in front of her, she couldn't help taking a step back, but her arrogance did not weaken a little. She crossed her waist and shouted back: "Don't look at where this is? The Duke of Wei in Zhengfang! How dare you play rogue? Can I tell you that the eldest princess and I are in-laws. How dare you be rude and weigh the bones around you? A bitch dares to offend the royal relatives?
As soon as the driver heard this, he was so angry that he suddenly took a step forward: "I have never seen a royal relative like you, greedy for a few penny of money from ordinary people, ah! This big story can also be said. If you don't give me enough money today, I won't admit this loss even if it comes to the emperor.
Grandma Li sneered and pointed to the stunned little man: "Why don't you tell this uncompetent who I am?"
Two little men shouted and complained. One quickly pulled the driver for a good advice. The other rushed forward to invite Grandma Li to the door. The porter heard the movement and came out and asked what was wrong. So he had to take out more than ten pieces of copper money first and accompanied the crime in a good voice. , sent the driver away, and then went in, but Grandma Li was still jumping and scolding in the door. She said that the driver was blind and bullied her as a widow, and there was no one to support her, so she dared to be wild.
This door is the third uncle of Chunmu. When he is old, he naturally knows Grandma Li's temperament. He bowed and said a basket of good words, which made Grandma Li's anger and gasped at Chunmu's third uncle: "It's cold, let me stand here and get cold. Hurry up and prepare a soft sedan chair and take grandma to me. Carry it in!"
So he was in a hurry, and the porter finally got quiet.
When the little man saw the women carrying the soft sedan chair far away, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Good boy, even we servants can't be quiet with such a broken settler."
The third uncle stared: "Don't talk nonsense. No matter how much grandma is a relative in our house, I dare not offend her."
The little boy spit out his tongue, so he didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
He also said that the women carried Grandma Li all the way to the door of Canglangyuan. Not only did they lose a penny reward, but they were also inexplicably grabbed a few words, saying that they were lazy and turned their waists. The women did not dare to return their mouths and had to bow down. Grandma Li was so majestic enough before she twisted her "injured" old waist and entered the courtyard door. Son, along the way, every time she saw a maid, she had to stop and scold her. In a short way, she was delayed for a moment before being greeted into the house by the maid.
Li's head was wearing Zhaojun's sleeve and an open peach-padded jacket. As soon as he saw the curtain open, he came down from the kang. He pulled Grandma Li on the kang and said weakly, "Why are you here?"
"How do you look listless?" Grandma Li looked at Li for a moment doubtfully and suddenly became happy: "Is there a body again?"
Mr. Li leaned on the pillow angrily: "In addition to the bitch of Mei, the second master slept in the study. Even if he went back to the room, he didn't bother to touch me. If I had a body, would it still be okay? It snowed a few days ago, and I didn't care about catching a cold. I asked the doctor to look at it a few times. After all, I felt lazy.
"You girl is too useless, so it's up to your aunt? That Meishi should have sold her feet a long time ago. Grandma Li hated that iron was not steel, and she patted her kang and gritted her teeth.
Li rolled his eyes and said, "It's easy for you to say, and you think Mei is a slave, and the deed of sale is in my hand? She is the childhood sweetheart of the second master and the daughter of the teacher. Although she is not the third media and the sixth recruitment, she is also a serious concubine who was carried into the state mansion and sold with her feet. In the past, even if I say something heavy, it also poked the heart of the second master. She can't wait to give me a letter of divorce and sentence me to be jealous.
"No matter how expensive you are, you are a concubine, can you be the leading lady? How did I teach you before? Grandma Li was so angry that she was about to slide down the kang: "I have to discuss this matter with my family. How can there be a reason to indulge my son to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife? Although we are ordinary people, we also had a life-saving kindness to the old country in those years. My family can't repay such kindness."
Li hurriedly grabbed her mother: "Mother, don't make trouble. Since Mei entered the door, she wanted to please her mother-in-law. Thanks to her mother-in-law still remembered me, a serious daughter-in-law, so she ignored her. Otherwise, Mei's mother-in-law was supported by her, and the second master supported her. I really have to let her ride on my head and be wild. If you go to make trouble again, do you really want to see me get rid of me?
Grandma Li was suddenly pulled by Li. She almost twisted her waist, held her "Ouch" and knocked off her daughter's hand angrily. She sat and gasped and wondered again: "If I didn't come for a while, why did you think about your mother-in-law? Isn't the total number always biased towards her?"
"It's also these truths that Si Niang told me. Think about it, it's true that my mother-in-law treats me very well." Li was bored and a little unwilling: "I just don't want to interfere in the housework. How can I be bloated?"
"Four women are young, and they grow up with their parents. How can they think about you?" Grandma Li snorted coldly, "What's good? If it weren't for looking at our widowed mother and daughter, and not a famous family, how could the second master be allowed to take a noble concubine blatantly? Look at the third master, he married the legitimate daughter of the Wang clan. For so many years, not to mention the noble concubine, he doesn't even have a house. If the third master is just a son and a daughter, the heir is not rich. Why doesn't she accept a noble concubine to the third master?
This said that it hit Li's heart disease. He coughed a few times in his heart and was about to count Xu's wrong words. Suddenly, he thought of Si Niang's previous persuasion and asked her to talk about idle affairs and restrain her temperament to make Su Ke change her mind. Finally, she did not make "more words" again. She only asked his mother: "It's cold day, mother What's the matter before you come from the outer city?
Grandma Li just remembered the business. When she was about to talk about it in detail, she felt dry and drank half a bowl of tea with a cup before asking, "Some time ago, you said that Er Niang's marriage was a little successful?"
"Don't mention this again. I'm flatulence when I mention it again." Li Shi sighed heavily: "What is the Zhen family? That's the mother's family. Sanlang of the Zhen family is outstanding in talent and appearance, and the future is also promising. However, because the daughter of the Zhen family had a dispute with the future wife of our family, she gave up on a good marriage. I was not convinced and only said a few words. The second master scolded him and only talked about the marriage of the second mother. My mother-in-law is in charge of things. Let me not ask. That's my daughter who was born in October. I can't even ask any more question. How can there be such a reason in the world?
"Why is the marriage of the son of the world also decided?" Grandma Li asked quickly.
"Isn't it? Seeing that Aunt June is about to leave the cabinet, Xing'er's marriage was scheduled for May. She is the daughter of Dong's family. In the past, she looked steady and polite. Somehow annoyed the Zhen family's daughter. She was ignorant and Bai implicated the second mother." Li was still unwilling. She never thought that the marriage between Erniang and the Zhen family had been a hot burden from the beginning. At present, not to mention the eldest princess and Su Ke, even Er Niang herself no longer had the idea of marrying Zhen Sanlang.
Grandma Li did not feel sorry, but was extremely excited: "I'm afraid this is destined. The second mother has no fate with the Zhen family, and she has to rely on me, my grandmother, to plan for her."
