green bamboo dream

On the second day, the emperor announced the national mourning, which means that during this year, all those who have titles are forbidden to marry for a hundred days, and it is forbidden to hold banquets for a year. 【26nbsp;】

Yuzhu felt that apart from changing into plain clothes, the rest had no effect, on the contrary, it was a lot cleaner, at least those wives and wives who coveted their second brother as son-in-law in the name of visiting all day would not dare to visit.As for whether it hurts or not, the capital is so big that Yushi will not be so free that he has the time to watch at home, as long as he doesn't run to the door of Yushi's house and laugh, and what does his sister-in-law's family do? The head of the censor, which censor would be so short-sighted.

The peaceful and peaceful days in Deyuan are still the same, but Ningyuan Hou's mansion is different. When Yuzhu followed Cui Shi and sister-in-law Du Shi back to the mansion to greet the old lady, she keenly discovered that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right, mainly because the old lady was not right. It was the Buddha-like, benevolent face that showed faint anger, and Fan who stood underneath seemed to be a lot more disciplined, and seemed to be a little haggard.

"Sit down when you're here." Shi's voice could not distinguish between happiness and anger, but there was a trace of coldness.

At the end of summer and autumn, the weather has turned cooler at this time, and the chairs are also covered with brocade embroidered flower backrest cushions, making sitting very comfortable.Cui looked around secretly, and said with a smile: "The old lady is in good health recently. Our master is thinking about it every day. If it weren't for the recent troubles, he would have come."

At the mention of her son, Shi's expression finally softened a little. He was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"I know that you are filial, and you never fail to greet you every now and then, no better than some people." Shi Shi stopped his cough, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.

This is difficult for Mrs. Cui to answer, but the old lady obviously wants to be asked further, Yuzhu rolled her eyes, clapped her hands and smiled, "Why don't you see Sister Yumei?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Shi's lips, "Your elder sister Yumei is married, so she is not as comfortable as when she was a girl. You must put your husband's family first in everything."

What's the situation? Yu Zhu glanced at Cui Shi in shock, and she also saw surprise in Cui Shi's eyes, apparently she hadn't heard the relevant news either.

"How could it be?" Cui frowned. Although the family was separated, how could such an important event as the marriage of the children not be announced? If outsiders knew about it, it would not be a joke. How could the Liang family not understand this matter, and the family didn't care No matter what the trouble is, you still have to make a harmonious appearance in front of outsiders. "My daughter-in-law didn't hear anything about it. When did Maid Mei marry?"

"It's been a few days, but I still have some brains. I hurriedly finished it before the national funeral." Shi snorted coldly, thinking that he was quite angry in his heart, "Why don't they dare to go out and yell? Heart-warming couple, are you selling your daughter or marrying your daughter, what kind of family is the Wu family..." When it came to emotional excitement, there was another burst of unstoppable coughing.

Mrs. Cui tried her best to search the Wu family in her mind. The old lady must be extremely dissatisfied with that family. After thinking about a few bad families, she tentatively asked: "But the Guanglu Temple Department is in charge of the Wu family. Your Excellency?"

Shi's face flushed from coughing and panting, Fan felt a little restless, and said: "Don't guess, you can't think of it, this Wu family is not an official family, it can barely be regarded as a landlord and squire, in fact, it started as a businessman, Mei The girl is married to the eldest son, she seems to be a scholar, but she is as good as the sky, I heard that the books have been neglected for several years."

Yu Zhu sighed slightly, maybe Fan and the others who are from the orthodox family background don't understand, but she can roughly understand what the second aunt thinks, but understanding does not mean agreeing, Yu Zhu remembered a talk show in her previous life In the program, there is a sentence in it, men think about how to get it when they fancy something, while women think about what kind of man they want to get.This has to be said to be a wonderful irony. Yu Zhu knew that many of her female classmates did this in her previous life. I have never thought of this before, even if someone understands the meaning, I just pretend that I don’t know, I would rather work hard to support myself...

Shi Shi finally regained his breath, and said in a bitter voice: "Mei girl has been raised by my side since childhood, how can I not love her? Mr. Chen Ge has a grandson with top-notch character and talent, and he is just like his second son. The family was exposed, and they hurriedly married out, and because of the separation of the family, even I don't pay attention to it." Thinking of the civil servants who could have been used as a "mouthpiece" Shi's heart ached for a while. In her eyes, it was a waste to marry a girl to that Wu family, raising her for so many years in vain.

Yuzhu secretly laughed, if Shi Shi changed to a bachelor, his grandson Liang would definitely snatch him and become his son-in-law. Who made Chen Ge old-fashioned and upright, and the image of seeing money as a "dumb thing" has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? Also, someone burned a hole in the back of the robe he used to wear before, and he ended up wearing that robe with the hole all winter. The emperor found out and rewarded him for his honesty and honesty. Now it is estimated that even the children in the capital know him How poor the family is, Liang is unwilling.But——Yu Zhu pursed her lips. Shi Shi said this not only to express her dissatisfaction with Liang Shi and her distress for Yumei, but also to warn Cui Shi not to meddle in her marriage at will. After all, if it is used for marriage, the use of my daughter-in-law is much more than that of a concubine.

"I heard that girl Lan is also engaged?" Shi's sharp eyes swept towards Cui's, showing suspicion.

Cui's complexion remained unchanged, she lowered her eyes respectfully, and said: "It is the second-bedroom young master of the Yongchang Hou Mansion appointed by the master. This is the first daughter of our master to be married. Naturally, it can't be shabby. The dowry has already been prepared. I asked Auntie Sun to help girl Lan pack the dowry, so I didn’t bring her here today.” It means that this marriage was arranged by Lin Yuanzhi, and Auntie Sun and Yulan are also satisfied, and it’s none of my business, so I explained to Yu by the way The reason why Lan didn't come today is to avoid Shi's label of treating the concubine harshly.

"Sister Lan is too embarrassed to go out. She doesn't even go out of the yard at home." Yuzhu made a timely proof. In fact, Auntie Sun was sicker than in summer, and she couldn't even get out of bed, but Cui said naturally when she went outside. What is what.

The Fan family has been working very hard recently, the old lady has an unpredictable temper, but the Hou Mansion has only her own daughter-in-law, and there is no one to share the burden, and she has to rush forward every day to be scolded, today is a routine greeting, there are too many The two sisters-in-law immediately felt a lot more relieved, and said more happily: "It's natural, Lan girl is very lucky, and it's a great blessing for a concubine to marry into the Yongchang Houfu. She rolled her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting silently by the side, "Fourth sibling, do you think so?"

I haven't seen her for a long time, and Zhao's family has changed a lot since before her family. The original low-browed and pleasing look is gone. Now she is obviously thinner, the lines of her face are very sharp, and her chin is habitually raised slightly. This kind of woman Yu Zhu used to I have seen many of them. In modern times, they have a common title, called strong woman.

"Sister-in-law is talking about that, but I don't know if our girl Ju is so blessed?" Mrs. Zhao gave Fan a meaningful look, and then smiled again: "It's a pity that we have to wait until all the older sisters are married. Bodhisattva bless you, don't pick out all the good ones, at least leave one for us girl Chrysanthemum."

Fan didn't care if her little thoughts were seen through, and she changed the topic to other places as if she didn't hear anything, but Zhao didn't give up, saying: "Speaking of it, our young lady is the best lucky, even if the son The side concubine is also a member of the royal family who can get the jade certificate, and her fate will be different in the future, and we have to salute her when we see her." At the end, he sighed: "Oh, that child is also ill-fated. In the future, shouldn't you say that sentence, 'After a disaster, there will be good luck'." Only those who ask for something will bow down, and now she has the four houses in her hands completely, and she doesn't have to rely on the Marquis Mansion at all. She can also live, so she doesn't have so many scruples, and she has spent more than ten years proving that most of the time forbearance does not solve the problem.

Let’s not mention it, but when he mentioned red beans, Fan gritted his teeth angrily. That little hoof actually hooked up with the son of the prince under his nose, and dared to plot like that in the Yongchang Houfu... Fan’s eyes darkened , Forced a smile and said: "That's also a matter of honoring the entire Hou's mansion, what are you afraid of when you salute, my daughter is on the left and right." I thought to myself, after becoming the mistress of the house, I started to be rampant, without any knowledge, so boring, no wonder Fang Auntie made such a big mistake and was taken back by the fourth child, she deserved it.

Shi tried his best to calm down his breathing. Under the repeated accidents, his body was not as good as before. After the doctor checked the pulse, he repeatedly told him: getting angry too easily may damage the vitality of life, so he simply closed his eyes and did not look at it.

Mrs. Cui had seen enough dramas, guessing that her daughter and daughter-in-law had gained some knowledge, so she smoothed things over with a smile: "It's still early, after the country's filial piety is over, the concubine will come in first, and I'm afraid it will be a while before it's her turn." Missy is getting married." As if she didn't care, she added, "Sister-in-law has a lot of skills to teach Missy how to be a wife."

Fan smiled and nodded, but a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes quickly.

Yu Zhu had a ignorant smile on her face, she lowered her head and played with a suet white jade bracelet on her wrist, but she burst into laughter in her heart. It is an invisible knife, with a friendly face and full of laughter. It is almost a perfect combination of brain teasers, thick black learning, Sun Tzu's art of war and the art of language. If you understand it, it is much more interesting than cross talk.
