green bamboo dream

"...Do you know where that Taoist Zhang is now?" After pondering for a moment, Yu Zhu suddenly thought that since Mrs. Tan only believed in that Taoist Zhang, the key to the matter lay with her.

"Who knows where that old woman has gone." After such a long time, Ruqing still gritted her teeth with hatred when thinking about it, "She was originally a wild woman, an old woman who came out of nowhere, but the second aunt and her mother-in-law believed in her." It has to be like something."

"Second Madam also believes?" Yu Zhu wondered.

Ruqing also felt a little sore, so she asked her serving mother to hug the sleeping brother Yuan, and then sat up straight and talked to Yuzhu: "I believe it, it's like a ghost is fascinated... That Zhang Daopo I've seen it too, it's black and ugly, with a shoehorn face, and a few pockmarks on it..." She paused, then hesitated, "However, it doesn't seem to be as powerful as my mother-in-law believed, and the reward given Not as much as my mother-in-law."

After stroking her hair, Ruqing continued: "When I married in, I saw my mother-in-law calling Zhang Daopo in every now and then, saying some weird things - praying for blessings, adding a fortune, and so on. The second aunt would occasionally follow behind to listen, but She herself rarely calls Zhang Daopo to her room."

Yu Zhu shook her head, and asked again: "Then what did the old lady say?"

After Ruqing encountered this incident, because she was afraid of affecting Brother Yuan's reputation and being ashamed, she kept covering her tightly. Today, I talked to Yuzhu, and I feel much better in my heart, and the accumulated depression and grievances are all gone To vent, I simply said it all: "The old lady has never taken care of family affairs. This time, for Brother Yuan, Tete called his wife over and scolded her, and even kicked that old woman out. She is not allowed to Come to the door."

"Get out?" Yu Zhu seemed to have caught something, and hurriedly asked: "Did you drive people out after they found out about this, or did they drive them out after interrogating them?"

This is very important. If it is the latter, things will not be so simple.

Ruqing saw Yuzhu's serious question, so she thought about it carefully, "...At that time, the old lady was so angry that she didn't eat breakfast, so she immediately sent her close mother to drag Mrs. Zhang into the wife's room. It was already afternoon when we rushed out."

Speaking of this, Ruqing was terrified, and cried out, "...the old lady knows who it is?"

Ever since Mrs. Zhang said that her brother Yuan was the fate of the lone star of Tiansha, she suspected that someone paid money to buy him off, but at that time, she was weak and angry, and her chest seemed to explode. A flash passed through my mind, and I didn't have time to catch it.

The old lady drove Zhang Daopo out, and never allowed her to enter the gate of the Tan Mansion again. On the surface, she was seeking justice for her, but in fact, she said that this matter is over, don't mention it...

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists on the table, and said in a trembling voice: "It is true that someone ordered Zhang Daopo? Then the old... the old lady is still protecting her"

With a serious expression, Yu Zhu turned over the lid of the cup in his hand and said, "It's better not to dig the roots..."

He waved his hand and signaled Ruqing to wait for her to finish, "If you can protect your old lady, the person behind Mrs. Zhang must not be an outsider. If trouble breaks out, it may cause a lot of trouble. What I have to consider now is how to deal with it. Let Brother Yuan get rid of this fate completely, and leave the rest alone."

If she encounters this kind of thing, she doesn't need to ask others, she can tie up the ignorant mother-in-law and beat her half to death, and then find out the people behind her and take revenge, without tossing the culprit and accomplices to regret Son, she will never give up.

But Ruqing's situation is different from hers. If she really let her out, then both the mother-in-law and the great-grandmother will be offended. How will they live in the future?In a war with a mother-in-law, no matter right or wrong, reason or not, the one who suffers is always the daughter-in-law.

… Except for some brain-dead who harm others and benefit themselves, most people act with a purpose, or a criminal motive.

If you look at it this way, it's easy to guess what Zhang Pozi's thoughts are. It's nothing more than the struggle between the houses. The grandson of the eldest house is always a sensitive identity, especially in the case of a large family with a large number of people, and intrigue is commonplace.

"Then let's forget it?" Ruqing's thin face had two sickly blushes, and she said sadly: "Even now, these days are just suffering, if it wasn't for Brother Yuan, I wouldn't have thought about it." pass."

"Don't be confused." Yu Zhu was in a hurry, and took her hand and squeezed it tightly, "I can't have this idea again."

"Do you want my brother-in-law to find a stepmother for Brother Yuan after you go? If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Sister, you can rest assured that Brother Yuan will live under the hands of other women?"

Yu Zhu looked thin and not alone, softened her tone, and persuaded: "The more others bully you, the more you have to live a good life, and those people who do bad things are angry... Some people are jealous of Brother Yuan's eldest son, Di Sun's honorable status, if you want to harm him, sister, you should raise him well, teach him to be filial, filial, and eager to learn; oh, you also need to hire a good gentleman... When Brother Yuan grows up safely, he will be named on the gold list, and Qiong Lin Zanhua, marry him a good relative, and give birth to ten or eight grandchildren for you, a lively family, envious of those jealous old hags."

Seeing Ruqing's yearning expression, Yuzhu continued to speak with a steady tongue, and continued to fight: "If you have such negative thoughts now and let go, then you will be settled, Yuan Geer Keqin Is it fate? Wouldn't this harm the child for the rest of his life..."

"Yes, yes...it's all my fault." Ruqing became more excited as she listened, and her eye circles turned red again, "I will definitely take good care of my body in the future, so that I won't be sulky anymore."

"That's the reason." Yu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, expressing deep relief.Sister Ruqing is actually not stupid at all, she suffers from being too delicate in her emotions, and loses her mind when she is stimulated.To put it bluntly, she is too emotional and easily affected by emotions, which is very similar to her mother Bai's.

The atmosphere relaxed here, Ruqing took a sip of tea to calm down, raised her eyes and saw a genuine and deep concern on Yuzhu's face, moved her heart, and said apologetically, "It's so hard to come here for a while." Come on, I didn’t treat you well, but I told you to listen to my complaints for half a day.”

"How about this, my brother Shengyuan thought up a fresh snack before, and I will keep it as a thank you gift if you haven't eaten it." After finishing speaking, he ordered the servant girl: "Ruyi, take the winter melon to the kitchen and put my Pick out the brittle leaves that taught you."

After thinking about it, he ordered: "After finishing, send a plate to the wife's room first, and tell her to try something new."

Yuzhu waited for the servant girl to take the order, then she tilted her head and said with a smile: "Sister, it's a good name for this servant girl. Winter melon, winter melon, it's not very vulgar and elegant."

"That's not my name, it's her original name. It is said that on the day she was born, the biggest winter melon in her family's winter melon field was just ripe, so she got this name. Although it looks indecent to me, it is still a good name." It's easy to say, and even after changing the name, I still call it Donggua casually, and I keep calling it." Ruqing explained with a smile.

Talking and laughing like this, it reminded Yu Zhu of when she was in her boudoir, He Ruqing was tossing and eating in the kitchen, which made Cui Shi and Bai Shi angry and funny... Slowly, a feeling rose in her heart. A feeling similar to nostalgia.

In the blink of an eye, both of them got married, had children, married each other and taught their children, and had new troubles and joys. Whether it was bitter or sweet, it was as if they had come to a complete conclusion.

While Yuzhu was savoring this kind of eggy sorrow of the past, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the woman's shrill voice could be heard faintly.

"What's going on?" Ruqing frowned, "Who is making noise outside?"

Then the curtain was lifted, and the maid named Ruyi who had gone out just now came in hurriedly, just stood still and said: "Grandma, it's Aunt Gao again..." A tall young woman followed in the room .

"Aunt Gao, you..." Ruyi gritted her teeth impatiently, and Yu Zhu noticed that her folded hands were tightly clutching the handkerchief, obviously very angry.

Aunt Gao was wearing a crimson purple narrow-sleeved corset, with slender eyebrows, slender lips, and a pair of delicately drawn eyes. She seemed a little surprised that there was another person in the room, but in the blink of an eye, there was no one in the room. Changing his appearance, he said in a soft voice: "Grandma, this servant girl is here to make amends for you."

"Apologize? I really didn't see it." Ruqing was a little disappointed when Aunt Gao came in, and immediately said coldly after hearing the words: "Come on, what happened again?"

"The concubine doesn't know that grandma wants to use the small kitchen..." Aunt Gao twisted her slender waist and took two steps forward, wondering: "In the morning, I was thinking that the young master said last night that he wanted to eat the food made by the concubine." Long wrap crisp. As you know, the dessert is very labor-intensive, but only the concubine can make it. The concubine thought that since the young master wanted to eat it, the concubine would be happy to make it even if she broke her hand, so she used the concubine The kitchen. At this moment, the boss has built a big stall, and it has not been cleaned up, and it is the fault of the maid and concubine that it hinders grandma from eating snacks."

There are knives inside and outside of these words. First, she pointed out that brother-in-law Tan rested in her room yesterday and wanted to eat snacks that only she could make. This shows that she served very well and brother-in-law Tan was extremely satisfied; She told her reasons for using the small kitchen—it was all for Brother-in-law Tan, and finally emphasized that Ruqing ate it for herself, and she cooked it for Brother-in-law Tan...

If such an aunt who loyally served her master was punished, Mrs. Tan, who had long been displeased with her daughter-in-law, would not just sit idly by.

"Hmph..." Ruqing also understood, and her heart ached as if a piece had been gouged out by a knife. This Aunt Gao was the only concubine whose husband-in-law couldn't part with her. I made faces for her to suppress myself several times, and then a pang of sadness welled up in my heart.

Yu Zhu patted her hand lightly, smiled and shook her head, signaling her not to be angry.

She has recorded this type of aunt in "How the First Wife Was Made", and the big taboo is not to get angry. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
