Chapter 129 Human nature is complicated

Sister-in-law Liu has a warm heart by nature. Ever since Dong Rong married into the Cao family, she has seen everything she has done. She admires and envies Dong Rong in her heart.Now I hear my mother-in-law heartlessly using the suffering of the Cao family as a source of chatter, how can I bear it?
She threw off her mother-in-law's hand and shouted, "Mother, you can't be unconscionable. Let's not talk about anything else. If it weren't for our boss, our family would be hungry in a disaster year like last year. How can we have money?" Buy you a silver hairpin to wear, and a new jacket to wear?

The day before yesterday our boss heard that you like to eat marinated eggs, and specifically asked me to bring you some back.Now, when something happens to our boss, let alone the wealth of the sky, even if the family is in trouble, we can't make a joke like this?Besides, our parents are good, and we can earn money by being able to read and write. It would be a pity to marry into the palace and become an imperial concubine, let alone a little one?Who dares to despise our boss, I... I will never end with him! "

After finishing speaking, she went back to the house with a cold face, picked up her clothes, and strode out of the village.Leaving Mrs. Liu was trained until her face turned blue and red. She wanted to call her son to complain but was afraid of getting angry again. In the end, she curled her lips and went to gossip with her usual chatting friends.

The first sentence of the "Three Character Classic" for children's enlightenment is that at the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good.In fact, human nature is the most complicated thing, often two natures are relatively accompanied by each other.Since there is good, there will naturally be evil.

In the early years, old man Cao suddenly brought back a silly son from outside. Everyone sympathized with Mrs. Cao, and would sigh a few words whenever he talked about the Cao family.But later Mrs. Cao spent a lot of money to marry her stupid son, which made the villagers feel uncomfortable.My son is not bad anywhere, and he married a peasant girl, so why would a fool marry a scholar's daughter as his wife?

What's more, this daughter-in-law is good-looking, literate and polite, and most importantly, she seems to have brought a cornucopia as a dowry.My daughter-in-law spends money when she goes to the city, so at most she can sell a few insoles and earn a few copper coins, which is not bad.

But the family's daughter-in-law went to the city and earned a big orchard in March and came back, and the young people in the surrounding villages squeezed their heads to work in the orchard as handymen.My family can't eat meat three times a year, and the person in charge of digging holes in the orchard can bring home a big bowl of meat dishes every day.Not to mention that the Cao family eats fine food every day, the three of them add new clothes one on the left and the other on the right, and the silver hairpin on Mrs. Cao's head can't wait to change one every day without repeating the same.

As the old saying goes, people are more expensive than others, and goods are more expensive than goods.Often things are like this, there is no anger without comparison.Everyone in the village sees the prosperity of the Cao family, and they may not say much on weekdays, and even flatter Mrs. Cao when she comes out to show off, but in the dark, who is not jealous? The eyeballs are blue, and I don’t know how to bite them when I sleep at night. How many pairs of coarse quilts.

However, the good times of the Cao family are coming to an end now.It turned out that the stupid son who had been raised for more than ten years was not from the blood of the Cao family. Ma Shan was going back to the capital, and the Cao family was an extinct family!No matter how good the food and clothing can be, after death, the family has children and grandchildren to worship, and the Cao family doesn't even have a person who burns paper!
Thinking in this way, everyone feels that the hatred is relieved in their hearts, as if a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, she is very proud and comfortable.Neighbors or relatives and friends will talk about this matter after meeting and exchanging a few words without exception. Of course, no one is stupid enough to laugh loudly, but whispering in private makes the atmosphere of the whole village even more weird. stand up.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, there are those who gloat, and there are also those who repay their kindness.The few young couples who have been working with Dong Rong since selling ice last year, except for the two who were locked up at home after being reprimanded by the old man, the rest all rushed to the orchard spontaneously.No one wanted wages, the men helped to do some rough work like unloading cars and leading the way, and the women went to the back kitchen to help light the fire, kill chickens and pick vegetables.

Occasionally, when they were free, everyone couldn't help but look up at the yard hidden in the woods on the mountain, and sometimes whispered to each other, saying, "Why is the boss sick? Is it silly that Zhu really doesn't want to be sick?" The boss? Then he has no conscience, how well does the boss treat him?"

"That's right, if he goes to the capital to enjoy the blessings, what will our master do in the future? Is he the daughter-in-law of the palace or the daughter-in-law of the Cao family?"

"Aunt Cao has been crying so much that her eyes are swollen these days, and she said that she has been guilty of tongue-in-cheek on weekdays, and God has condemned her. The good son and daughter-in-law suddenly don't have the surname Cao. When the second sister is married, who will give them the old couple? Retirement at the end of life?"

Xu Shi's brows were a little sad, and the clever guest noticed it, and out of curiosity, he asked the boys.The boys were all instructed, and they rounded things up with a few words with a smile.But no one in the orchard revealed it, and the mouths of the villagers couldn't stop it.Soon there were rumors in the city that the blood of a certain prince in Kyoto had flowed to a nearby mountain village, and the palace was sparsely populated, maybe this lucky young man would become the next prince.

There is never a shortage of smart idlers in teahouses and restaurants. After three glasses of wine, all the mansions in the capital with the word "king" were stripped clean, and finally the one that all fit the rumors was Zhongshan Wangfu.

Everyone was amazed, some didn't believe it, but more caring people began to quietly send people to investigate, and then they were ready to move, thinking about how to get some benefits for themselves.After all, King Zhongshan is the most prestigious prince besides the royal family, and the emperor treats him with great respect. If he pleases this new prince, he may be rich and powerful in the future.

As a result, the number of guests in the orchard gradually increased, even surpassing the half-moon when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.Even though the Shisan Pavilion and the lobby of the restaurant were full, people kept coming by car.

Boys, cooks and handymen, everyone who walked around the orchard without exception would be called to ask for a few words.Although no one would say much, the chaos in the orchard, which was comparable to a market, upset everyone.

Seeing that there was no way to go on like this, Steward Zhang rushed to Feng's courtyard in the east of the village after searching for an afternoon.

Mr. Feng has not eaten or slept soundly these few days, except when he went up the mountain to check the pulse of Dong's girl, Tuer would ask him a few words, and he would never speak to him again.The old man regretted so much that he wished he could jump off the building. He knew that his disciple was hurt when he was young, and he hated the betrayal of those close to him the most.But why did he get so confused, he repeatedly stretched out his hand to expose him.He hasn't spoken ill to himself in the past few days, maybe it's because of the relationship between his master and his apprentice for many years...

Qingfeng was dejectedly holding a bamboo plaque to dry the medicinal materials. When he saw Steward Zhang knocking on the door, he trotted forward and pulled him back and said, "Master Zhang, you are here. Mr. Shui Mi hasn't beaten his teeth since he woke up this morning. Quickly help me persuade."

Zhang Guanshi turned his head and looked around alertly, and finally frowned and complained, "You kid, do you still want to go back to the dark camp to learn the rules again? Remember to call me Zhang Guanshi before people!"

How could Qingfeng control so much, he pouted and complained, "The identity of the young master has already been revealed in broad daylight, what is the shopkeeper hiding, the left and right will also return to the capital together in the future."

Manager Zhang had no choice but to point to the orchard and sighed, "The master is annoyed that our young master is hiding it. If you let her know that I was also arranged by the young master, guess who will be unlucky in the end?"

Hearing the words, Qingfeng immediately acted like a deflated ball, and said dejectedly, "You shouldn't, you shouldn't, it's all caused by those idiots in the capital. If you spread the news in advance, the son will first talk to his wife, how can there be trouble?" To this state? Besides, madam is really strange, if another woman knows that she has become a concubine, she will go crazy with joy, why is she so annoyed?"

Guanshi Zhang reached out to pat him, and scolded in a low voice, "You can gossip about the master's affairs? Hurry up and report, I have something to discuss with the husband."

Qingfeng stuck out her tongue, turned and ran into the house.Soon Mr. Feng called out from the room, "The shopkeeper Zhang is here, come in and sit down."

Zhang Yang entered the door in response, saluted Mr. Feng respectfully before sitting on the chair.Mr. Feng motioned for Qingfeng to pour tea, and finally said with a sigh, "You are a manager and a big shopkeeper. It's hard for you to live in this small village. It's really a shame."

Zhang Yang hurriedly stood up and responded, "Sir, you are serious. It is a great honor for the young one to serve by the master's side. What's more, Madam's mind and means of doing business are rare in the world, and the young one has benefited a lot."

Mr. Feng nodded, and then asked again, "It's fine if you think so. Tell me, what's the matter with you, regardless of your identity, to expose your door?"

Zhang Yang thought for a while, then described the changes in the orchard in the past two days, and finally said cautiously, "Sir, I'd better advise you to return to Beijing as soon as possible. If the news reaches the ears of interested people, you may be in danger of your life."

Mr. Feng didn't know that the matter was important, but when he thought of the cold face of his proud disciple, he became discouraged again, and finally gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "You go and call him over, just say that the old man is invited, if he doesn't come again, he won't come." recognize me as Mr.

Guanshi Zhang also knew some inside information, so he quickly got up and responded and went back to the orchard.

Murong Huaide was sitting on a low bench in front of the window looking through the account books presented from various places. The midday sun shone in from the window, reflecting the eagle on the sapphire blue gown on his body as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high.Occasionally, Xia Feng ran into the house naughty to play around, fiddled with the pearls on the golden crown of his hair and trembled slightly, which made the whole person plump and handsome like jade.Now there is no trace of a farm boy in him anymore, and his every move is full of extravagance.

Ever since his identity was exposed, Murong Huaide never planned to hide anything from his wife.No matter Dong Rong smashed the teacup or ignored her with a cold face, he just stayed by her side and refused to leave.

If she eats, he will accompany her, if she doesn't eat, he will also be hungry.When she sleeps, he hugs her, and she won't let go no matter how much she beats her.She looked at the account books, and he also asked someone to bring a stack, and they sat opposite each other, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.There was even a time when Dong Rong had morning sickness in the middle of the night, so he directly called the secret guard of the A-character group to invite Mr. Feng.

Dong Rong took everything in her eyes, and occasionally when she was alone, she carefully reviewed the big and small things in the past year, and the resentment in her heart gradually calmed down a lot.
