Chapter 40
·Submission
Mrs. Liang was completely defeated. She hurried to Dong's old house holding the box containing the land deed with her head and face completely dejected.
It happened that the Tianjin Qiu family sent a capable old woman to discuss the complicated wedding matters with the Dong family. The person who came was Mrs. Deng's wet nurse. Naturally, Mrs. Dong took a high look. Not only did she receive her in person, but she also called
The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law accompany the guests.
When Mrs. Liang arrived, only the nanny beside Mrs. Dong received her.
Mrs. Liang's smile froze on her face.
The nanny next to Mrs. Dong was a clean-minded person. She greeted Mrs. Liang with a smile on her face, "I heard that you were sick a few days ago. The old lady wanted to send someone to ask about the situation. Why did you do it today?"
Are you here? Are you feeling better?"
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
Mrs. Liang suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and said with a smile, "I haven't been here to say hello to my mother for a while, but I don't feel at ease if I come to see you. You also know what the situation is like in the fourth room. There is no one in charge except me."
It's common for people to be unable to leave for a while. I heard that Yuluo's marriage has been decided. Although she is older than the old lady, she is a girl from the fourth house after all. What if I don't come over? "
Mammy followed her words and said, "Old lady, I also know that you are filial, but you have to take care of yourself. You didn't let the servants hand you a post before you came. Now the Qiu family from Tianjin is here.
My dear, the old lady is busy entertaining, so she doesn't have time to see you. Isn't this a waste of time for you?"
There was a bit of contempt in her words, as if she was saying that Mrs. Liang didn't understand the rules and didn't take Mrs. Dong to heart.
Mrs. Liang's face was as hot as a slap in the face, but she did not dare to get angry. Although the person in front of her was just a nanny, she was the most powerful person around Mrs. Dong. She had been with Mrs. Dong for more than sixty years.
She never left her at the most critical moment. Mrs. Dong treated her as a relative, and all her children and grandchildren also worked in the Dong family, and they were very trusted and respected.
Mrs. Liang said patiently, "I was in a hurry and forgot to hand over the post." She quickly took the box from the hands of her confidant and handed it to her grandma respectfully, "Yu Luo wants to
Married, we
Parents always have to express themselves. These are the two shops specially selected by her father. She asked her to pass them on to her mother. At least they will be included in the dowry, which will also give Yuluo some face and make life easier for her husband's family.
Some."
What's more, Mrs. Liang didn't want to run into Mrs. Dong at this moment, lest she would not give her a good face, and as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't have an attack. When she heard that Mrs. Dong had guests to accompany her, she didn't think about it carefully, and relaxed a little as if she had been amnesty.
Take a breath.
Mammy took it with a smile, "Since it is the fourth master and his wife's wish, I will accept it for the old lady first."
Mrs. Liang was stunned for a moment, but when she saw that grandma did not continue, she stood up with an embarrassed look on her face, "In that case, I will go back first. There are still a lot of things at home that I need to count on."
Grandma nodded and sent her to the door of the room, "The old lady is still waiting for me to serve you, so I will see you off not far away. Come back when you have time." She waved to a little maid and ordered her to see her off.
Mrs. Liang goes out.
Mrs. Liang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She knew that her grandma was relying on Mrs. Dong's support and not taking her seriously, but at this moment, what else could she do except submit? She didn't even dare to say a harsh word, she felt aggrieved.
He held his confidant's hand on the ground and walked out of the Dong family's old house tremblingly.
After Mrs. Dong had finished dealing with the Qiu family, Mammy had time to hand the box to Mrs. Dong.
Mrs. Dong took it apart and took a look, and a slight smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Finally, the fourth child is not hopelessly confused. He knows how to bring out two similar shops. I'm afraid that the man will be heartbroken at this moment."
It's bleeding."
Nanny smiled and helped her put the house deed back into the box, "It was your old tricks that made Mrs. Liang lose her temper. Do you think it's time for the business in the fourth house to return to normal?"
Mrs. Dong nodded invisibly.
Mrs. Liang fell seriously ill when she returned home. Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhou came over to visit her, but everything she said seemed to be looking for a good show, "I heard that Madam rushed to the old house to deliver a dowry to Miss Yuluo. Why is she so old?"
Your wife didn’t even ask you to have a meal? Is that so?
I ran back in despair. I heard that when the eldest lady of the house gave her the land deed, the old lady also rewarded her with a set of emerald jewelry. Whatever the old lady rewarded you, show it to us. Let us see.
Those of us who can’t stand on the stage will gain more knowledge.”
This Aunt Wu was originally brought in by Mrs. Liang to restrain Aunt Zhou. Unexpectedly, she only stayed quiet for the first few days, and then she showed her true colors. Not only did she disrespect Mrs. Liang because she was young and favored, but she even became associated with Aunt Zhou.
He started to deal with her. Mrs. Liang felt that she had shot a stone in the foot and lured the wolf into the house. She was so regretful that her intestines were almost green.
In her hand, she was holding an apple that her confidant had just peeled for her. She raised her hand and smashed it at Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu was young and reacted quickly. She turned away slightly and said, "Hey, what did I say that was wrong? Madam, I'll just teach you a lesson. Why are you so angry? If we don't come, you said we don't have rules and don't understand seniority. Here we go.
It will only make you angry. What should we do? Madam doesn’t want to see us. I
Let's go." He pulled Aunt Zhou out of the door and shouted in a voice that everyone could hear, "I thought I was strong-backed and could fight with the old lady, but I didn't expect that she was dealt with in a big way.
"Fan, this is called suffering for yourself. If you are angry at the old house, don't take it out on us when you look back."
Aunt Zhou said loudly, "The old lady entertained people from the Qiu family, and she was talking about getting married. She didn't invite her, Yuluo's nominal aunt, but invited the eldest lady and the second lady to accompany her. Obviously, she didn't invite her.
If she takes it seriously, she will only be able to stand up to others."
Only then did Mrs. Liang react, and she was so angry that she fainted.
Bai Rongxuan naturally didn't know the specific details of what happened to the Dong family, but she vaguely remembered that the Dong family split up at this time. Could it be that Dong Yuluo came to Hangzhou because of this?
Bai Rongxuan still remembers that when she was recuperating at Qiu's farm in Tianjin, Dong Yuluo's wet nurse, Mama Sun, often came to visit her. Every time she came, she had to bring a bunch of things, which made her and Mama Wu at a loss. They couldn't refuse no matter how hard they were. They were very unhappy.
I'm sorry. When Sun's mother came here one time, she talked about Mrs. Liang. It seemed that Mrs. Liang's children did not achieve much and lived an average life. Her daughter married an ordinary local family in Suzhou.
, the wife his son married was not very good, and she had a hot temper, which often made Mrs. Liang lose her temper. Dong Yuluo's father seemed to have another concubine at that time, and Mrs. Liang could not see him even if she sent someone to invite him.
Every day in the backyard of the fourth bedroom was like a big show. Aunt Zhou was crying, Aunt Wu was making trouble, and Aunt Xinna was screaming. Mrs. Liang was sick in bed for half of January, and her energy was not as good as before. Life in the fourth bedroom was getting worse.
Sunset.
Mother Sun spoke of these things with disdain, as if she looked down upon Mrs. Liang very much.
Bai Rongxuan fell into a trance of memories, but Tang Xueru on the side saw something was wrong and pushed her shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"
"What?" Bai Rongxuan looked confused.
Tang Xueru frowned and asked curiously, "Didn't you say you remembered something? What did you think of!"
Of course Bai Rongxuan couldn't tell her the news that the Dong family was about to separate. Otherwise, if her big mouth spread, others would have to ask her how she knew it. Did she want to tell everyone that she had lived again?
Bai Rongxuan pondered for a moment and immediately came up with an idea, "I was wondering why cousin Yuluo came to Hangzhou at this time? Do you think she is getting married and came here specifically to tell her grandmother the good news?"
Tang Xueru thought about it for a long time, "It seems possible..."
He didn't delve into Bai Rongxuan's abnormal behavior just now.
