Chapter VII Adoption(1/2)
Grandma Lian went to Zhao's house after seeing Chun Ge. Mrs. Zhao originally wanted to make things difficult for Grandma Lian, but Mrs. Zhao gave her a slap in the face.
"How can you embarrass others if you want to? How can you embarrass others? No one else knows about the pornographic situation in our family now, and you don't know yet. Just calm down and calm down. The less people you can offend at this time, the less you will offend. The in-laws can't do it.
, don’t become enemies. After all, your husband and son are still in prison. You don’t think about them either.”
Without saying a word, she replied to Grandma Lian, saying that at this juncture of the Zhao family, Chen Chunzhen's marriage could not be a grand affair, and everyone in the Zhao family felt very guilty. They could only rely on Chen Chunzhen's natal family to get ahead.
He spoke very humbly, and insisted on paying one hundred taels of silver for the funeral. He only formally entrusted some matters to Grandma Lian and wrote a letter to prove it, so that no one would talk about it in the future.
One hundred taels of silver for a funeral would have been too much for the Zhao family in the past.
But at this time, the Zhao family can still squeeze out a hundred taels of silver to give to people, which is considered very good.
Grandma Lian quickly accepted the money and found someone to help with the funeral arrangements. Since Grandma Wu Si was Chen Chunzhen's serious sister-in-law, but she was pregnant, the third master, who was exhausted mentally and physically, sent a housekeeper's wife to help Grandma Lian.
Within three days, Chen Chunzhen was buried in the Zhao family's ancestral grave.
On the fifth day after Chen Chunzhen was buried, another imperial edict came from the palace. Mr. Zhao was sentenced to death. Mr. Zhao, Zhao Ming and others were all sentenced to exile to the Usali River. If the female relatives are willing to go there, they can also bring their whole family.
If you don't want to move out, the court will return you a house and you can live in it.
Men are the ones who stand behind the family, and the women of the Zhao family all chose to follow.
Although the Wusali River is a bit remote and the environment is difficult and dangerous, at least the Zhao family's property has been returned, and after some time, they can live a new life on the frontier.
You must know that some wealthy merchants on the border are living a really good life by buying and selling at the border.
It’s just that Mrs. Zhao also hanged herself on the day Mr. Zhao died.
The illustrious Zhao family fell into disarray overnight, leaving many people in the capital frustrated. However, few people dared to guess the underlying reasons.
Only occasionally some people would talk privately.
Everyone in the Chen family wanted to forget this matter as soon as possible, but the third wife was very dissatisfied.
Seeing that the third wife threw the bowl again in the morning, Grandma Wu was so angry that her stomach hurt, and she had to endure it and went to serve her. She cried bitterly when she came back.
Mother Wu next to her advised her, "Madam, my wife is not in a happy mood. Please don't argue with her. Take care of yourself."
Grandma Wu wiped away her tears and said bitterly: "I also know that she is unhappy, and I have endured it all these days. She always said that we will not seek justice for the tenth sister, and she does not think about it. As long as the Zhao family is still in order, we
I can't help but reach out. But the Zhao family has fallen into that situation. Is it possible that if we are asked to raid their homes and exterminate them, I'm afraid the whole world will poke our spines."
Ever since the third wife came to her senses and found out that the final resolution of Chen Chunzhen's matter ended hastily due to the sudden disaster in the Zhao family, she has been feeling uneasy.
I shouted several times that the Zhao family could not be allowed to hide in the border gate like this, and the Zhao family must pay with their lives.
The third master thought about Chen Chunzhen and the third wife's friendship over the years, so he kept it in and only tried to comfort him with kind words.
Chen Duanwei has never said anything to contradict him, just listen to him.
At first, everyone thought that the third wife would be fine after a few days of trouble, and she always knew that she would put the overall situation first. As it turned out, the third wife was getting better and better, and even the previous mania disappeared inexplicably, and the same happened when she saw the third master and Chen Duanwei.
His face is gentle, but there is a trace of gloom hidden in his eyes. Occasionally, he will secretly find a place to wipe his tears.
The third master and Chen Duanwei couldn't bear to see the third wife suppressing her sorrow, and they repeatedly asked Grandma Wu to serve her well.
Grandma Wu Si could only endure the third wife's intensified nitpicking in the past few days without the third master and Chen Duanwei, and she could not complain.
Because in front of the third master, Chen Duanque, the third wife always treated her with courtesy.
"I don't know how I offended her. If I had known that she was pretending to be ill last time, I shouldn't have been there to persuade her to make peace. I should have asked my husband to tell my father-in-law earlier and send her to live far away.
!" The more Grandma Wu thought about it, the angrier she became, and her forbearance in the past two or three years turned into hatred.
Mother Wu was startled and hurriedly went to close the window. When she saw that there was no one around, she complained: "Madam, please stop saying a few words. They say that a daughter-in-law has to survive to become a mother-in-law, and you can always get through it. You
Don't think about others, at least think about my wife's feelings for asking me to serve you all the way."
When Grandma Wu heard this, she glanced over, looked at Wu's mother with a half-smile, and said, "I appreciate you coming all the way from your mother's house to serve me, but is your mother really asking you to come here just to serve me?"
A very embarrassed look flashed across Mother Wu's face.
Grandma Wu Si looked at her with a cold heart, lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Wu's mother had to go up to comfort her, "Don't blame my wife. She is having a hard time in the Wu family now. It's not like you don't know that the person who chose you to marry me was not kind.
There are so many girls in the family, why did I choose you, my niece who lives far away from home, to be my daughter-in-law? I don’t think it’s easy to control and can suppress my daughter-in-law. In recent years, the Wu family is getting worse and worse. Earlier, the Chen family was like this
When the thirteenth aunt got married, the old lady thought of taking the opportunity to send a concubine from the Wu family to the Duke's mansion to be a concubine. However, this did not happen. She could only hope that this girl would still be able to stand in the third room of the Wu family.
Keep your footing, you can say a few more words. Who knows that this person is also a confused person, and he has offended everyone for a daughter. There are still several men in the Wu family who want to become officials. I am not pointing at you.
Who else can we rely on to make bridges in the middle?"
Grandma Wu Si felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
It’s not like I didn’t know what my parents’ family was planning.
It was also thanks to my marriage over the years that my family was able to gradually speak to each other in the Wu family. This time, the old lady of the Wu family naturally had to do her best to handle the things she told her.
Can……
"Mother Wu, you have watched me grow up since childhood, and I won't hide it from you. You have seen my situation. My mother-in-law is crazy! One day she throws things, and the next she beats people and scolds dogs.
They were all done to show me, just hoping that I would help her deal with Aunt Mao. She wished she could remove the baby from Aunt Mao's belly to relieve her anger. Of course I couldn't let her make trouble, but I was also very tired.
There is still time to go to the Duke’s Mansion to discuss this matter.”
Mother Wu has been here for a while, so she naturally knew that what Grandma Wu said was true. After hearing the words, she pondered and said: "Parents should make the final decision on their children's marriage. Otherwise, you can just go and talk to the third master."
, my wife is from the Wu family after all, so it shouldn’t be difficult to ask her to help.”
Grandma Wu Si hurriedly shook her head, "No one can make the decision about Chen Duanlang's marriage except the thirteenth aunt! Look at the current situation of the Chen family. Everyone in the family does not look at her face to live their lives."
As he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "I have the ability to tie the Duke's heart tightly, and he has three children in his belly, and the wife has to support her. What if I went to discuss the marriage with Chen Duanlang in private?"
, Not to mention what my father-in-law thinks, even my husband, I’m afraid he’ll make me angry.”
He categorically rejected Wu’s mother’s proposal, leaving no room for negotiation.
Seeing that Mother Wu stopped talking for a moment, Grandma Wu Si felt a little uncomfortable.
Chen Duanlang now has someone to support him and he has learned his skills on his own. Everyone is focusing on him.
It’s not surprising that someone in the Wu family has their own thoughts. But those people in the Wu family are really too selfish.
No matter what juncture or juncture this is, my husband's Enke has been taking the exam for two or three days, and he is about to die at the critical moment. Where will he be sent, and what kind of shortage will he find?
All of a sudden, the Wu family was writing to urge them every day, and Wu's mother was also nagging in her ears, forcing her to go to the Duke's Mansion to finalize Chen Duanlang's marriage.
There is a funeral in the Chen family!
She was married, so it was just that the old lady from the Wu family was in a difficult position.
Chen Chunzhen was her direct granddaughter, and those direct members of the Wu family didn't take it seriously at all. They were all gone, and no copies of the memorial ceremony were sent, so they just rushed themselves to do things. It's chilling to think about it.
Grandma Wu's fourth wife became cold-hearted and didn't want to talk to Mother Wu anymore. She just sat there flipping through the account books.
Suddenly I remembered and asked Wu's mother, "They always said that I would propose marriage, but they didn't tell me who the person to be picked out was."
"She is the seventh master's youngest daughter. The old lady is in great pain and holds her like the apple of her eye."
Grandma Wu Si listened and said nothing for a long time.
Mother Wu looked at Grandma Wu's face and explained from the side: "You must choose a good person for the Seventh Young Master. No matter how talented the Seventh Young Master is, he is still a concubine. A legitimate girl, even though she is not the eldest daughter, is still a good match.
It’s more than enough.”
"More than enough?" Grandma Wu Si seemed to have heard a big joke, "Mother Wu, I have heard of this clan girl. Uncle Qi is originally the old lady's son, and Uncle Qi's youngest daughter at home.
Who doesn’t know how noble he is? He is doted on to the heavens and has a very overbearing temperament. With the shrewdness of our thirteenth aunt, she would agree to choose such a person for her brother to spend the rest of her life. What a dream!
"
Mother Wu's face suddenly turned pale.
Grandma Wu Si has been troubled by this matter for a long time. Today she said it. She just said enough. She said directly: "You ask someone to bring news to mother. Stop flattering uncle and the others in everything. Isn't that right?"
Dear, the direct branch is the direct branch, and the partial branch is the partial branch. No matter how flattering you are, we can't kiss you. Now I have a firm foothold in the Chen family, and my husband will be able to find a good job soon. We can take care of our own family.
, the rest of the Wu family, please stay away from it."
Mother Wu was shocked when she heard this.
Grandma Wu Si had nothing more to say.
After Wu's mother thought about it secretly, she felt that what Wu Si said was right, so she said no more.
But a little maid in green clothes and sarong rushed in, crying: "Grandma, please go over and have a look, Aunt Mao is blushing."
Grandma Wu's head buzzed loudly. She stood up holding on to the handle of the chair and asked sharply: "Who do you think is red?"
The little maid was crying and sobbing, but fortunately she could still reply.
"My wife called someone over to force Aunt Mao to drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine, but Aunt Mao refused. My wife asked someone to hold her down, but for some reason she became red." The little maid seemed to have just come to her senses and pounced.
He went over and grabbed Grandma Wu Si's skirt and said, "Grandma, grandma, please quickly ask the doctor and Mrs. Wen to come over and save my aunt, otherwise, otherwise..."
The little maid felt cold all over when she thought of the death order given by the third master.
Grandma Wu Si was also frightened and had no time to take care of a little maid. She threw away people and hurried to the place where Aunt Mao lived.
Mother Wu followed and waited carefully.
