Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 436
Although the drama of "two daughters competing for husbands" has nothing to do with Cao Yong, but Zheng Hu is still standing among the long followers waiting for Cao Yong and his wife to come out of the shop.

After all, the two are brothers and sisters connected by blood. Even if Yang Mingchang was ruthless and Bai's ruthless, Zheng Hu never said anything bad to Yang Ruixue, his sister.

Although he didn't intend to recognize each other, but knowing that she remarried to someone else, Zheng Hu paid special attention to the situation of his new brother-in-law.Hearing from Cao Yong that Yi Duli was good to Yang Ruixue, and even brought his niece to the capital, he also felt joy on his face.

Looking at Zheng Hu and thinking of Zhao Jia who brought his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the store, Cao Yong was a little worried.

It's just that after all, it's the housework of Yidu Li's family, so Cao Yong can't help it rashly.I wanted to tell Zheng Hu directly, but I was afraid that he would be reckless and make the situation even more chaotic.

After thinking for a while, Cao Yong called Zhang Yi and asked him to go to the Yamen of Taipu Temple to find Yiduli; he also ordered Xiaoman to find two young men in a dim sum shop and stare at the entrance of Ruihezhai. No, report right away.

Seeing Cao Yong's series of instructions, Chu Yu was puzzled, and asked, "My son-in-law, is there... is there something wrong?"

There are so many people on the street that it is inconvenient to speak, so Cao Yong and Chu Yu went side by side to the place where the carriage was parked, and said: "The woman in the shop just now is Yiduli's side room, and Zhao Jia's coming here is probably aimed at her. of."

It was the first time Chu Yu had heard of it, with a look of astonishment on her face, she said, "If that's the case, then the little girl is Mrs. Yi's daughter?"

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "It's not his own, but his stepdaughter." Then he looked towards Zheng Hu and called him over.

Zheng Hu and Wei Hei are now on two shifts every day, one comes out with his long entourage and Cao Yong, and the other trains the guards in the mansion.

Today, Zheng Hu is on duty.

According to Cao Yong's meaning, he wanted Zheng Hu to take the martial arts exam with Cao Song, because Zheng Hu liked to wield knives and guns very much when he peed, and he once said that he wanted to be a soldier.However, Zheng Hu stayed in Guangzhou for a few years, and it was considered an eye-opener. He didn't take seriously those soldiers who were similar to local hooligans, so he didn't have the interest to eat soldiers.

Zheng Hu was originally a few feet away, but when he saw Cao Yong calling him, he strode over.

He has a scar on his face, which was left from a fight in Jiangning City when he was a teenager, making him look a bit fierce.But when getting along, he is a kind person at heart.Therefore, Wei Hei had a bit of a temper with him, and Cao Yong was close to him in his heart.

"Master, what's your order for my little one?" Zheng Hu asked in a naive voice.

Cao Yong pointed to Ruihezhai in front of him, and said, "Tiger, that shop may belong to Yang's family. I just saw Yang's in it."

Zheng Hu scratched his hair, and said in a low voice: "Master, this little one knows, I asked about it when I first arrived in Beijing."

When Cao Yong heard this, he was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect Zheng Hu to be bothered about this younger sister.

When he regained his composure, Cao Yong said truthfully: "Tiger, the people who just entered the shop are from the Yiergenjueluo family, and that woman is the main house of Yiduli."

Zheng Hu was still puzzled in the first half of the pull, but his eyes widened when he heard the second half of the pull, with a look of worry on his face.

Chu Yu was a little confused by the side, because it was not easy to intervene in front of Zheng Hu.

The story of wives and concubines fighting is regarded as a joke in the officialdom.For example, someone who "doesn't have a good husband" has a concubine sold by his wife;

Cao Yong saw many wives and concubines with his own eyes, such as his own family, Chunwangfu, Pingwangfu, Sunjia and so on.It's just that the relationship is private after all, and it's still a scene of a happy wife and concubine on the bright side.

According to the "Law of the Qing Dynasty", the wife is the heroine of the concubine, holding the power of life and death in her hands.No one can say whether Zhao Jia's will be hated because of jealousy, let alone there is a young girl over there.

Before Yiduli came, Cao Yong couldn't just wait like this, and said to Zheng Hu: "I have already sent someone to inform Yiduli. If the tiger is worried, he will wait at the door of the shop. If he sees something wrong... ...You are an older brother, so at least you can come forward and say a few words."

Zheng Hu was worried, and after listening to Cao Yong's words, he nodded quickly and said: "Well, I'll just go over there and watch." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked quickly.

Seeing Zheng Hu's back was far away, Chu Yu asked, "Forehead son-in-law, is the Yang family Zheng Hu's sister?"

Cao Yong nodded and said: "Well, they are all from Jiangning. Even my sister and Han Jiang's family know her."

Seeing Cao Yong frowning, Chu Yu thought he was worried about the Yang family, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, the Zhaojia family comes from a big family, after all, it's for the sake of face, why would it make trouble in the market? I heard that the old minister said If you have a good tutor, you shouldn't embarrass Mrs. Yang too much."

Cao Yong listened, nodded, and said: "It's so kind! Yi Duli has had a hard time these two years, and there are many people waiting to catch his pigtails. If something happens again because of these troubles, it will be reported to Yushi's ears Here, I’m afraid it’s enough for him to drink a pot. At the yamen, the colleagues are quite relieved, if someone else comes, I don’t know if it’s good or bad.”

The husband and wife, while talking, looked towards the shop, but there was no movement.

Two quarters of an hour later, I saw two fast horses galloping out of the inner city.

Because there were so many people on the street, the man on the horse yelled loudly, "Give it up, let it go, let it go!"

He didn't have time to change the official uniform on his body, it was Yi Duli.

Although it wasn't close, he could still be seen getting off his horse panting.

Now that the master has arrived, Cao Yong has no interest in staying any longer, he turns to Chu Yu and says, "Let's go, let Lao Yi go on his own, we don't need to worry about it!"

But Chu Yu refused to leave, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forehead son-in-law, wait around, it's about the child!"

Logically speaking, Chuyu herself is a wife, so she should stand on the side of Zhao Jia's family and dislike Yang's family.But seeing their mother and daughter relying on each other just now made her feel a little pity.

Seeing Chuyu like this, Cao Yong had no choice but to follow here.

But he said that Yi Duli entered the shop with his head covered in sweat, and he was also a bit worried, fearing that Zhao Jia's attack would cause Yang Ruixue to be wronged;

After entering the room, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

In the corner of the hall, Zhao Jia was sitting there with a smile, holding a little girl in his hand, with a friendly face.Yang Ruixue stood on the side, her eyebrows were lowered, her expression was very submissive.

Seeing Yi Duli coming in, Yang Ruixue turned around and looked at it, while Zhao Jia stood up with a smile, and said: "It's better to drive well than to drive well. Aren't you busy these days, why are you free?"

After hearing this, Yang Ruixue lowered her head, knowing the reason why Yiduli's wife Zhaojia came to her.Although she is disdainful in her heart, she also knows that her natal family is powerful and she cannot offend her.

Just now, as soon as Mr. Zhao Jia entered the house, the woman who followed her revealed Mr. Zhao's identity.Seeing the unfriendly expressions on everyone's faces, Yang Ruixue knew that they were well prepared.

There were people standing at the door of Biansheng, even if she wanted to send someone to look for Yiduli, she couldn't do it in front of them.

She knew in her heart that she couldn't enter Yiduli's house in order to be free and unrestrained.If that was the case, the lives of himself and his daughter would be in Zhao Jia's hands.As for whether she can control her husband, that is Zhao Jia's own business.

She was just pretending to be submissive, she was used to coaxing people since she was a child, she immediately put on a timid look, and stood beside Mrs Zhao Jia honestly serving tea.

Because these days, Cao Yong's "recovery" has given Yidu a good excuse.On the pretext of a lot of errands in the yamen and busy entertainment, he rested outside for several nights.

Mrs. Zhao Jia has been rumored for a long time, and knows that her husband has an extra room.It wasn't too hot before, and she didn't pay much attention to it.Because Yi Duli has always been flirtatious, but he is not a person with long-term love.

Now, Yi Duli returned home later and later, laying down on the bed, and fell asleep without a word.

It wasn't until two days ago that a female family member of a relative's family came to visit and talked to her about the relationship between Yidu Lituo and the fact that a little girl was enlisted in the banner under the name of "stepdaughter". that.

How many women in this world are not jealous?
This "stepdaughter" has come out, but she is still deaf and blind.How could Zhao Jia not be annoyed by such an insult?

Therefore, she asked someone to look up the address of Yang's house, but it was all in vain, and then she came to the shop, but she happened to meet it.

Yang Ruixue stood politely in front of Zhao Jia for a while, feeling sore in her heart.Although she can't compare with the rich families in Beijing, she was also spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. After marrying into the Bai family, even if her husband is not worried, she is still the grandmother in charge.

Although it is not considered to be under the fence of others now, it is necessary to compromise and be careful to cater.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruixue's eye circles couldn't help turning red, and she looked up at the daughter Zhao Jia was holding in her hand, with a sad look on her face.

How could Yiduli bear this? He took two steps forward, smiled and said to Zhaojia: "It's a good day, grandma is out shopping?" Then he lowered his head and said to the little girl, "Jun'er, you Do you know who this is?"

Yun'er raised her head and said timidly: "Mother calls grandma, grandma?"

Before Yi Duli could speak, Zhao Jia said to Yun'er with a smile, "You should be called Er Niang, you will be my daughter from now on!"

In a word, Yang Ruixue, who was beside her, changed her face in shock.

Yun'er was only five years old, and the maids in the family were all Han Chinese, so she didn't know what "Er Niang" meant, but she understood the latter sentence vaguely.The little girl turned her head, looked at Yang Ruixue, and whispered: "Mother..."

Seeing Yang Ruixue trembling, Yi Duli seemed frightened and distressed.But Zhao Jia's face was full of smiles, he couldn't resist directly, and said: "It's very hot at noon, let's go back home!"

Zhao Jia, however, pulled Yun'er and did not let go, and said with a smile: "Master, since you have added a girl to me and brought a girl with you, why don't you take her home? Let relatives know, and say that I am that girl." intolerable."

At this point, Yi Duli wanted to deny it but couldn't, so he said vaguely: "Rui Xue is not in good health, she needs to rest, just live outside!"

Zhao Jia heard this, and said with some concern: "Since this is the case, Yun'er should be taken back to the mansion, so that my sister can recover from her illness with peace of mind."

Mrs. Zhao Jia spoke with sincerity, and Yi Duli didn't know how to refute for a while, so she saw Yang Ruixue took two steps forward and said, "I thank grandma for thinking about it, but grandma is also a mother-in-law. She knows that the child is My mother's best heart. Grandma, please feel at ease... In the future... my family will definitely be able to 'recover from illness' in the future, and I dare not trouble Master Yi easily..." While speaking, tears had already flowed down one after another.

After hearing this confession, Zhao Jia knew the meaning of her words, sneered in his heart, and wanted to scare her again.

Yi Du stood beside him, but his face drooped, and he looked at Zhao Jia with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

Seeing that he wanted to defend Yang Ruixue, Zhao Jia was angry and annoyed, but smiled softly on his face.She let go of Yun'er's hand, bent down, touched her little face, and said: "Since your aunt is reluctant to part with you, I will wrong you to live outside first, and after a while, my mother will clean up your house." , and take you home."

Jun'er timidly took two steps back, hid Yang Ruixue's hand, grabbed her mother's skirt, and looked at everyone with a small face in a daze.

Seeing that Zhaojia let go of Yun'er, Yi Duli's face became better.As for whether to take Yun'er back to the mansion, he didn't take it to heart.When Yun'er grows up, he will always have to be educated, and it is not common for him to always live outside the mansion.

But at the end of the street, the sun is full, and the sun shines on people, which makes people feel a little sleepy.

Cao Yong yawned, a little impatient.He took out his pocket watch and saw that it was almost Weichu (one o'clock in the afternoon).He was about to send someone to visit Ruihezhai, when he saw Yiduli and his wife coming out of Ruihezhai side by side, Yang Ruixue followed behind with his daughter in his hand.

I don't know what Yi Duli said in front of Zhao Jia, which made Zhao Jia cover his mouth with a handkerchief and laugh.Supported by her mother-in-law, Zhao Jia got into the carriage.

Yi Duli turned his head to look at Yang Ruixue, got on his horse, and the husband and wife left together...
