Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen Buddha's Mouth and Snake Heart
"Mother!" When Tang saw the old lady coming, she finally sobbed aggrievedly.
The old lady is just a legitimate mother. If she had been wronged in the past, she would not be willing to give in in front of the old lady. But today, the master really hurt her heart.
She took a step forward and knelt down in front of the old lady with a thud.
"Mom! I didn't expect to alarm you, so I'd like to thank you for your kindness. But since you're here, there are some things my daughter-in-law has to say that she doesn't like. It's not my daughter-in-law who wants to cause trouble today, it's my master who has gone too far."
Tang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and felt disheartened for a while.
"My daughter-in-law has been familiar with the "Girls' Precepts" since she was a child. Before getting married, her father followed the instructions. She said that when you marry, you must obey your husband and you must abide by the moral principles of a woman. After marriage, you should support your husband and educate your children, respect your family and elders, and be diligent and thrifty in running the house. The daughter-in-law admits that she has not neglected anything after marriage. But
The master is unhappy with his daughter-in-law and even said slanderous words."
Tang choked up at one point, and Su Yizhao, who was standing outside the house, was moved.
"Since I don't get along with my concubine, I don't insist on it. I can only feel sad that the two of us are destined to be inseparable. Today, I would like to ask my mother-in-law to make the decision and let my husband and I reconcile and divorce. In the future, we will have nothing to do with each other."
After Mrs. Tang finished speaking, she prostrated on the ground, crying so hard that her shoulders were shaking, but her tone was very firm.
Su Yizhao was shocked when he heard this. Has the trouble reached this point?
The Dayun Dynasty was not that tolerant towards women. Generally, most of them divorced and abandoned women, and very few women married and divorced.
Even if there is a union and separation, it will not be easy for a woman to remarry afterwards.
The old lady who was originally very angry was also very angry after hearing this. She said: "This? Why is this? The fourth child has always been like this. As he grows older, he has changed a lot. You don't have to.
Keep it in mind."
"Fourth child, why don't you admit your mistake to your wife? It's your fault. If you were willing to make progress, your daughter-in-law wouldn't be in such trouble with you."
The old lady looked at Su Wenqing who was scratching her neck, frowned and scolded her twice.
"My son has been doing this for so many years, and she insists on making trouble with me. Didn't my mother say back then that she would just let me do whatever she wanted? What? Now you are here to persuade me? Is my mother going to go back on her word?"
Su Wenqing was so angry that she sat down on the stool and turned her head away.
The old lady's face darkened, but she calmed down after a moment.
The fourth child has always been so out of tune, and it's not like she doesn't know it, so there's no need to get angry with him.
"If you don't want to end up, then it's up to you. How can you be so willful and arrogant when you're already over 40 years old? It happens that there are a lot of general affairs in the house, and your father is so busy every day that he has a lot of energy.
Rather than before, you might as well share some of the burden for your father."
As soon as these words came out, Tang, who was lying on the ground, was so angry that he clenched his teeth.
I don't advise you to take the scientific examination, but let a scholar run around and do the work of managing people.
The old lady is really a talkative and a snake-hearted person. She indulges the master in such a way that she cannot support him even for four or six years.
"Mother! I'm afraid that the master is not willing to get involved in this. He wants to be with me..."
"Old lady, someone is coming from the old lady's side!" A woman came into the house to report.
Su Yizhao looked at a steward standing outside the house. This was the old man's chief steward, Su Huai.
Unexpectedly, even the old lady was alarmed. Could it be that Su Wenqing and his wife had been arguing for a long time?
Su Yizhao watched Su Wenqing being led out by his mother-in-law and walked out to the study.
"Xiaoqi, come in!" Su Yizhao was watching Su Wenqing's leaving figure when he heard the old lady calling her to come in.
After entering the house, she saluted the old lady and Mr. Tang.
Mrs. Tang was unhappy and had no intention of paying attention to her. After answering, she excused herself as having a headache and went to the inner room.
The old lady didn't take it seriously, sat down at the top and began to look at Su Yizhao.
I haven't paid much attention to this outer room in the past few days. When I took a look today, I found that the child was good-looking and very elegant in manners. He seemed to have the demeanor of a young master from aristocratic families.
Su Wenqing has a good appearance, and I guess the appearance of the outsider is not bad. But he comes from the countryside, and after only a few months, he has lost the contempt of the countryside?
The old lady stared at Su Yizhao in a daze, which made Su Yizhao think about it.
"You are getting late and late to return home these days, but there is something unclear about your career. Do you need to stay in college to study?" the old lady suddenly said.
Sure enough, Su Yizhao's heart sank.
"Go back to grandma! Because my mentor is traveling far away, I have no choice but to disturb Master Qin. My grandson is late in literacy, so naturally he can only put in more energy than others."
I don’t know how much the old lady knew, but Su Yizhao certainly wouldn’t blame himself.
The old lady chuckled softly when she heard this, "So what do you mean, you study so late every day? But I heard from the coachman at home that you leave the college as soon as school is over every day, and you still
If you don't want him to follow you, you won't return home until it gets dark."
Naturally, the coachman would not hide it for her, and Su Yizhao certainly knew it.
"I can't hide this from you, and my grandson doesn't need to hide it from you. My grandson went to the bookstore to read. After getting acquainted with the shopkeeper, he wanted to copy the books for study purposes."
Su Yizhao spoke hesitantly and smiled at the old lady sheepishly.
"Copy the book?" the old lady asked suspiciously, a little confused.
"Yes! My grandson often hears his mother say that his father has no livelihood and is not living well in four houses, but he spends a lot on studying, so he feels guilty. There are many books that he wants to buy, so he can only make this decision. It is also a grandson.
I didn’t want my mother to be upset, so I became famous in the Su family, and I was willing to be punished by my grandmother.”
After Su Yizhao finished speaking, he lifted his hem and knelt down.
I feel sorry for Su Wenqing and his wife, Su Yizhao can only find this reason.
In fact, he has been writing short stories for the past few days, and every time he goes to study, he goes to the old man he met at the beginning.
The old man had a very small bookstore. Because it was located in a remote place and there were not many books in the bookstore, the business was very bleak. At one time, it was so bad that he had to set up a stall on the street.
Even if someone comes to buy it occasionally, the price will be paid back to the point where the old man loses money.
In the past few days, Su Yizhao went to his bookstore. When he left, he went through the back door of the bookstore.
Fortunately, she was on guard, and it seemed that the old lady didn't notice what she was doing recently. But she would have to be more careful in the future to avoid being caught by the old lady.
"My grandson has become more proficient in copying in the past few days, and his speed has become much faster. One book costs twenty cents, and I have saved a total of seven hundred cents."
Su Yizhao took out an old cyan purse from his arms and placed it on the ground.
When the old lady saw that the purse was heavy and there was a sound of copper coins when she put it down, she believed it a little bit.
Her face softened slightly, but her tone was still stern, "Our Su family is also a well-established family after all, and your grandfather even worshiped the minister of Guanglu Temple. How could you, a child of a well-established family, make money by copying books? If you tell us, what will people think of us?
?”
"What's more, you are still focusing on career. This will not only delay your admission to school, but also increase your reputation by being known by others."
