Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 373
Although Cao Yong was impatient to see Zhao Jiashi, Zhao Jiashi wanted to argue with him.

When Mrs. Zhao Jia heard the reply from the daughter-in-law who went out to inquire, she immediately sat up from the kang and asked, "What? Song'er came out of Wutong Garden and went to kneel in the ancestral hall? Kneeling all night, even I didn't eat any food, this..." She was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Lu Ju nearby, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said, "Madam, please don't be annoyed, we'll talk about it after you ask carefully."

It turned out that when I got up early today, I received a letter from the Sun family envoy, saying that Cao Ying would accompany her husband, Sun Jue, to visit in the afternoon.Zhao Jia sent his daughter-in-law to Huaiyuan to tell Cao Song, but she did not expect to know such a thing.

Cao Song came out of Wutong Garden yesterday, instead of going back to Huaiyuan, he went to the ancestral hall to kneel down to his ancestors.

Mrs. Zhao Jia caressed her chest, pointed to the daughter-in-law and said, "You went to the ancestral hall, but where is Cao Song?"

The daughter-in-law replied: "The servant girl wants to pass on the words of the wife, so she will go there. The second master is kneeling, the servant girl can't see clearly, but the clothes on her body are really thin. The third master and the fourth master don't know how to know I went over to persuade him, but the second master just kept silent, saying that he deserved it, let the third and fourth masters go to study, don't be lazy. "

If there is no fire in the ancestral hall, where is the place to treat people?Zhao Jia only felt distressed, bit his lips and said, "What? Only the third and fourth masters went, and the uncle didn't show up?"

The daughter-in-law replied: "I didn't see the uncle, but I heard that the third and fourth masters also said that they want to find the uncle, but the uncle seems to have gone to the yamen early!"

Mrs. Zhao Jia was furious and felt a pain in his forehead. Well, my brother was going to freeze to death, so he went to the yamen leisurely.

She helped the edge of the kang down, called Luju to change clothes, and said through gritted teeth: "What a good brother and sister-in-law, I'm going to ask, my mother is not dead yet, why is it his cousin's turn?" Do you want to practice family law?"

Both Luju and the daughter-in-law felt it was inappropriate, seeing Zhao Jia's angry appearance, they did not dare to dissuade them.

Mrs. Zhao Jia only felt that her headache was about to split, but her feet were fast. Holding the hands of her daughter-in-law and Lu Ju, she hurried to Wutong Garden.

When Wutongyuan went to the room, Chuyu invited Zijing over and expressed her doubts.Could it be that she was really wrong?If my son-in-law knew that she was such a cruel and merciless person, would he get tired of her too?
During the six months since Erfang entered Beijing, some unpleasant words have been spread.Although Zijing doesn't care about it, she doesn't want Chuyu and Cao Yong to be difficult. Except for going to the Wutong Garden, she rarely goes out of the Sunflower Garden.Therefore, she did not know what happened yesterday.

Seeing that Chuyu was so uneasy, Zijing glanced at her stomach, thought for a while, and said: "Grandma thinks too much, it's not good, it's easy to hurt your body. There is one thing, because I was afraid that grandma would miss it, so the servant girl endured it." I haven't said it all the time..." When she said this, she hesitated.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Chu Yu was a little surprised. After getting along for a few years, although Zijing was entrusted with her housework, Zijing seldom asked her opinion when she was dedicated to herself.

Zijing said: "Since the disappearance of Young Master Li's Biao, the number of long-term attendants around my uncle has also increased from four to eight. Don't mention it when you are a retinue. At that time, there are rules for those who follow you. When you were in the capital, but Uncle Wei selected seven capable long-term guards."

Although Zijing was only stating a fact, Chuyu could not help but turn pale with shock when she heard the meaning of the words, and said, "It's so...so...it's so dangerous outside..."

Zijing sighed, and said: "Grandma, it's not dangerous outside. Whether the servants say it or not, it's the errands in the uncle's yamen. It's not easy to think about it. The uncle is young, and there are many officials in the capital. , I don’t know why I’m tired. Grandma has never seen the uncle’s appearance when he was a child, and he is the most lazy, but in the past few years, he has been exhausted. , and worry about housework, isn't that uncle very pitiful?"

Speaking of this, she paused, and said to Chu Yu: "Grandma is just to make the uncle worry, what is wrong? In the end, I can only say that Yuzhu is confused. Even if she changed to someone else's house, she would be so tolerant No way."

Chu Yu was stunned, her eye circles were already red, and she said in a low voice, "It's my fault that makes the uncle annoyed by these things."

Zijing originally wanted to say a few words, not to be too indulging in what the second wife said, but because of her status, it seemed like she was sowing discord.Therefore, she persuaded: "Grandma doesn't have to be like this. Grandma is only very old. Since she got married, her wife is not in Beijing. It takes two years to learn this housework. Now, it is already very good!"

Chu Yu nodded, remembering the news that the Sun family came to deliver the letter in the morning, and said: "The uncle came back late these two days, the aunt and the uncle of the Sun family will come over in the afternoon, so I have to send someone to the yamen to send a letter to the uncle. .”

Zijing responded, and wanted to go out to arrange for the servant to deliver the letter, when she heard the sound of "deng deng" footsteps in the yard.

Chuyu and Zijing looked at each other, wondering who was so frizzy.Seeing Xiyun pick up the curtain and come in, said: "Ge Ge, it's the second wife!"

Chu Yu couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, fortunately her son-in-law wasn't there, the second wife was a bit too much, what's the reason for rushing into her nephew's yard like this?
When Zhao Jia arrived at the porch, he didn't wait for anyone to send a message, and didn't wait for Chuyu to come out to meet him, he directly lifted the curtain and rushed into the inner room.

Chu Yu just came out from the inner room, and she was going to greet Zhao Jia, but she couldn't help being surprised when she saw that her nose was not her nose, her face was not her face.What do you mean, do you want to put on a show when Wutong Garden is Cao Song's Huaiyuan?
Chu Yu is willing to let go of his figure and promise Zhao Jiashi, but he does not want Zhao Jiashi to have friction with Cao Yong, making it difficult for Cao Yong to do so.Everyone's heart should be fleshy, why after half a year, I didn't see the second wife showing any intention of getting close, but her attitude became more and more domineering?

Thinking about what Zijing said just now that it was not easy for Cao Yong to be outside, Chu Yu also felt somewhat resentful towards Zhao Jia in her heart.

When Zhao Jia saw that she didn't ask for greetings and was rude, she became more and more annoyed, and raised her chin and said, "Where is Brother Yong, tell him to come out to see me? I want to ask whose family's rules are this, ah, I Why is it his son's turn to practice family law?"

Seeing the resentment on Zhao Jia's face, Chu Yu couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing Chu Yu's response, Zhao Jia became more and more annoyed, and couldn't help raising his voice: "Cao Yong, Cao Yong, come out!"

Chu Yu's face gradually turned cold, she looked at Zhao Jia, and said, "Second wife, the uncle has gone to work in the yamen! Why, what big mistake did our lord make, so that the second wife came to ask the crime like this?"

Mrs. Zhao Jia curled her lips and said, "You are his wife, what did he do, don't you worry about it? My Song'er knelt in the ancestral hall all night, and he was about to freeze to death and starve to death. He is the elder brother If you treat your brother like that, you can happily go on an errand!"

Because the maidservants in Wutongyuan are not people who like to gossip, Chu Yu is still new to hear about Cao Song kneeling in the ancestral hall.However, she couldn't take care of it anymore, she just felt wronged for herself and her husband.

It seems that this respect is wrong, and this friendship is also wrong.

She stood at the door, looked at Zhao Jia and said, "Oh? Kneeling in the ancestral hall, the second wife heard or saw it, and she said it was punished by our father? Why can the second wife ask the crime so righteously?"

Zhao Jia was at a loss for words when asked, so he came here directly in a fit of anger, without thinking of going to the ancestral hall first.But she is not a person who is willing to admit her mistakes and submit softly, muttering: "If it wasn't for his brother, Song'er would kneel down to her ancestors?"

Feeling tired from standing, Chu Yu turned around and entered the room, saying, "No one else knows why the second master went to kneel down to his ancestors, but the second wife should know. Since the second wife is here, please come in. My nephew and daughter-in-law are having some troubles." Housework should be discussed with the second wife."

Although Chu Yu was of noble birth, she was usually soft-spoken and soft-spoken. She had never been so aggressive before.Feeling puzzled, Zhao Jia walked into the room and said, "What housework? You are young, and you still have doubts?"

Although Chuyu was annoyed in her heart, she was unwilling to lack courtesy on the face. Just as she wanted Zhaojia's family to sit on the kang, Zhaojia's family had already sat down by herself.

Chu Yu asked Xi Yun to pour tea, and asked calmly, "Second Wife has been in Beijing for more than half a year, but is she still used to it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jia felt a little uncomfortable, his expression froze, and he said: "Why do you bring this up again? What's wrong with it? The left and right are at home, not outside?"

Chu Yu lowered her head and said, "Yes, is it outside, but even though we are at home now, I have to mention some things to the second wife!"

Seeing that Chu Yu treated her differently than usual today, Mrs. Zhao Jia wondered if it was the two aunts who made the sacrifices.She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Speaking of which, the expenses are now in the public office, and Cao Song's salary should also go to the public office, but she was asked to put it away.Even Lumi didn't ask someone to transport it back to the mansion, but went to a shop to exchange money and received it.There is also the Zhuangzi that Cao Yong bought for her, and there are hundreds of taels of silver in the twelfth lunar month.

Because the account book was backed up in Wutong Garden, Chu Yu summoned Xi Caili to take it.

This year, those who returned to the public are Cao Yong's several salaries, He Shuo's son-in-law, third-class male, Taipusiqing, and third-class guards. The total is nearly 900 taels, and there are [-] dendrobium rice.Although Cao Yin also has a salary, but because he is a foreign official, he does not receive it in Beijing, so it is not included in the public account here.

Chu Yu sent the account book to Mrs. Zhao Jia: "Since the second wife came to Beijing at the end of May, and now more than half a year, the monthly money, two seasons of clothes, and food and drink expenses have totaled more than [-] taels."
Zhao Jia didn't know her intentions, and thought that Chuyu was thinking about the Zhuangzi's future that she had put away, and said in an embarrassing way: "Isn't this the children who are young? If you don't rely on your brother, who else can you rely on? You have Zhuangzi." Prospects are not short of these few dollars. There is no reason why you should support outsiders instead of your own brothers?"

Chu Yu said: "Second wife, uncle is not a stingy person, and Chu Yu will not care about these things. It's just that the second wife has to remember one reason, it is right to take care of parents in this world, but there is no such thing as taking care of aunts and brothers. I don't know. Where did the uncle hinder the eyes of the second wife, so that the second wife didn't look good when she mentioned the uncle. People's hearts are full of flesh. Since the second wife is like this, it's not good for us as juniors to keep moving forward. Let's go to Master Jiangnan Go ahead and let the master decide, and see how the two of us get along in this house. Although there is no family separation, there are no rules and regulations, and my nephew insists on mixing with my aunt and brother!"

Chu Yu's words made sense, Zhao Jia's face was unpredictable, and he lowered his eyelids and said, "Brother Yong made you say these words, why, you despise us for being idle, this is intolerable gone?"

Chu Yu heard her confuse words, so she was too lazy to argue with her, so she raised her head and said, "Second wife has been in Beijing for half a year, and you must have heard what outsiders say about you, right? You are good at everything, but you are a little 'inward-phobic'." 'Woolen cloth!"

Mrs. Zhao Jia snorted, and said, "A man's family, being said like that, I feel ashamed for him!"

"Since the second wife has heard of this, Chu Yu doesn't need to act virtuous in front of the second wife. Since such respect can't be exchanged for any good, then it can only be 'public is public, private is private'." Chu Yu said softly.

Zhao Jia was furious, stood up, pointed at Chu Yu and said, "Is there anyone who talks to elders like this? You are still a princess from the palace, and you don't even know who you are? Brother-in-law, I want to ask in front of him, why did my daughter-in-law abuse me like this?"

As soon as Zhao Jia's words fell, someone said: "No need to trouble, I'm back!"

It turned out that Cao Yong had just come back, but he didn't go into the house because he heard something wrong with the conversation inside, and stood outside directly, but he listened straight.

Although I don't know why Chuyu showed off like a little tiger today, Cao Yong felt a little bit wrong when he heard it.For the past six months, the husband and wife have treated Zhao Jia as if they were Li, which seems to be a mistake, which made Zhao Jia's temper grow.

Since there are Cao Yin and his wife in the long house, the two of them have no right to make decisions. I said earlier that it depends on a few small aspects. It is not good to be too rigid with Zhao Jia, so I can only think of another way.

Since Zhao Jia loves money, it is only by controlling her that she can calm down.
