The weather has been very annoying recently, it has been cloudy and sunny for several days in a row.
Especially the rain, it rains just as soon as it is told. Even though a small cloud has drifted over, it doesn't even cover the sun, but it still starts raining.
But there is one good thing - there are no catkins flying everywhere like in previous years.
Xu Chunjun finished all the embroidery work and delivered it to Xu Chunmao himself.
When I arrived, I saw two little girls sitting in front of the door, digging pebbles. When asked, they said that the second young lady had gone to the third aunt's grandma's house.
"Girl, let's keep the things!" Zi Ling said, "The second young lady will naturally know when she comes back."
"Why don't we also go to Third Aunt's place?" Xu Chunjun said, "Let's see how things are going with Second Brother."
Zi Ling followed Xu Chunjun for a while with some embarrassment, and whispered: "Girl, it's better not to go there yet, the second wife and the others are all here!"
Zi Ling knew that Xu Chunjun had always avoided trouble, and now that the family was in such turmoil, it was difficult for her, a girl, to come forward.
Who would have thought that Xu Chunjun was uncharacteristically determined to go there.
Zi Ling could see that Xu Chunjun was clearly worried these days, but she didn't like to talk much, especially when she was worried, and she was used to silence.
The little girl took away the empty medicine bowl, and the room was filled with the bitter smell of medicine.
Xu Lang's illness not only did not heal, but got worse, but she had to try her best to support her, otherwise the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the second room would probably hang themselves.
"Third Aunt, you must save the Second Master," Mrs. Song cried until her voice became hoarse these days. She had been married to Xu Daoan for less than two years and had never blushed once: "This bracelet was left to me by my grandmother.
, it’s worth a lot of money anyway.”
Mrs. Song said as she took off the jasper bracelet on her hand and handed it over: "I know they have to spend money on things over there every now and then."
"Daughter-in-law Dao'an, you have already taken a lot of things. Just keep this bracelet." Xu Lang just drank the medicine and said with a somewhat unsteady breath: "Don't worry, Dao'an won't suffer."
As the head of the family, she doesn't need others to remind her of these things. But Xu Lang is not annoyed either. After all, Song and Xu Daoan are one and the same husband and wife, and their intimacy is unmatched by outsiders.
"Third sister, my sister-in-law was here just now, and I don't have the nerve to speak." Mrs. Sun's eyes were almost blind from crying: "I know, I am a woman, but I am really forced to do nothing. You
I showed mercy and begged Magistrate Cao to open a document to move Dao'an back to the county."
"Yes, Third Aunt, this is the only way to save Dao'an now." Mrs. Song also followed up and begged.
Of course Xu Lang understood what they meant, which was to trade him for Xu Daoan.
She didn't blame them, but she felt bitter in her heart.
In the opinion of many people, they should do this.
When life is at stake, we can't think of a better way.
Secondly, I am the head of the family. When my life is in danger, if I don’t stand up, who will I expect to stand up?
"The third sister has always contributed the most to this family. As sisters-in-law, we admire and feel distressed at the same time." Ms. Wei has been like a butterfly in flowers these days, being a good person to both her second house and Xu Lang: "It's a pity that we
They're all a bunch of legless crabs, all counting on you to make the decision."
The wife-in-law listened nearby and couldn't help but snorted in her heart, thinking that this third mistress was really a pot of fire in the open and a knife in the dark.
These words seem to be praising Xu Lang, but in fact they are outright flattery. The implication is that you have done so much for this family, and this time is not the last time. If you are not willing to sacrifice this time, the previous
All the credit and hard work have been wiped out.
"Third sister, please be merciful! Even though this is our selfish intention, it is not completely useless to you. It is better than you staying alone in an empty room until you grow old alone." Mrs. Sun knelt down with a plop, and Lady Yue and the others
The two maids tried their best to lift her up but could not.
Mrs. Song also knelt down immediately after her mother-in-law. She didn't say anything, just sobbed and cried.
"This matter needs long-term consideration..." As soon as Xu Lang started to speak, he was interrupted by Sun's cry.
"Third sister, I'm going to kowtow to you! Dao'an suffered in that dark place, and I wish I could take his place." Mrs. Sun said, pretending to kowtow to you.
This method was taught to her by her third sibling, Wei, who said that Xu Lang was soft-hearted and strong-willed, so as long as he held her in his arms and begged her, she would eventually nod.
How could Xu Lang let her kowtow to him, help the little girl out of bed, kneel down opposite Sun, and help her up personally.
Mrs. Yue and other people who served Xu Lang felt bitter. The people in this family only knew how to force their girl, but they didn't think about how much she had sacrificed for this family. She only had a little selfish intention of not getting married, and now she was going to ruin it.
.
Mrs. Sun wanted to say something else, but Xu Chunjun had already walked in with her maid.
After all, as an elder, face is still important. Mrs. Sun had no choice but to stand up reluctantly, but in her heart she blamed Xu Chunjun for coming at the wrong time.
"Fifth girl is here, sit down quickly!" Xu Lang finally took a breath.
"Chunjun didn't mean to offend, and I ask for your forgiveness, elders." Xu Chunjun said that he was blessed, which was considered an apology.
"Silly boy, we are all a family, why would you say such outspoken words?" Mr. Wei has been pretending to be a good person these days, and is generally kind to Xu Chunjun.
"Since my wife asked me not to see anyone outside, I will boldly say a few words." Xu Chunjun helped his second wife, Sun, to sit down and said. This was beyond everyone's expectation. No one could guess that she had beaten her.
What's the idea?
The room became much quieter for a while.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Xu Lang finally spoke.
"I heard a few words outside the door just now. The second uncle wanted to ask Mr. Cao to move the second brother back to the county. This method seems to be safe, but in fact it is also risky." Xu Chunjun got straight to the point.
"How could there be a risk? As long as your third aunt agrees..." Sun didn't finish her words, after all, it was easy to say or not.
"I'm not saying Magistrate Cao won't agree," Xu Chunjun said: "But after all, he is just a magistrate. Either his boss makes things difficult or his colleagues frame him. If he can't protect himself, how can he protect his second brother?"
"You're such a worried kid," Ms. Wei was filled with hatred in her heart, but she still had to put on a motherly face on the outside: "How can someone be so free that their liver hurts and they make a fuss about this?"
"It would be impossible in normal times," Xu Chunjun said calmly, and just analyzed it to everyone in a clear-eyed manner: "But if the third aunt marries him, some people will definitely think so. We just want Mr. Cao to save the second brother.
But this Lord Cao is just a county magistrate. Besides, although I don’t go out, I have heard some words. This Lord is not very popular with Shangguan, otherwise he would not be transferred here from a wealthy place like Jingzhou. He is
If you have offended others, there is no guarantee that no one will take advantage of this and make a fuss. What's more, if the Shangguan ordered severe punishment for smuggling salt, does Mr. Cao really have the courage? Even if he did, would the Shangguan turn a blind eye to him?
