The old lady Qian came home with her teeth broken.
"This little whore has become more capable now and dares to talk back to me!"
Zhuang Er went to Qin Manzhi's house for a while, but before he could get over his sudden change in attitude, he heard the dirty words from his mother's mouth.
The grandson and grandson's daughter-in-law were in a bad mood when they saw her mother-in-law, so they all left early, leaving only the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, busy around serving tea and water.
"Mom, drink some water to relieve your anger."
Mrs. Li brought the porcelain bowl filled with water and handed it to the old lady. Unexpectedly, it was suddenly lifted away.
The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. Li also fell to the ground because of the sudden swing. The sharp point of the porcelain shard pricked her palm, and her hand bled.
The mother-in-law was still angry. Although Mrs. Li was in pain, she did not dare to make a sound. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was injured, Zhuang Er hurriedly ran to help her and bandage her wound.
Mrs. Qian got angry when she saw this useless second child. If he hadn't offended the Qin family with just one word, how could they have been kicked out like this!
"Get out of here!"
Zhuang Er didn't know that my mother was angry with him, but he didn't dare to hinder my mother here, so he dragged his wife out of the house.
Zhuang San didn't leave, he still stayed.
He was unwilling to give in. He didn't even say anything today, but he came back in such a dejected manner. What does it mean? No matter what, my mother is Qin's mother-in-law. As long as my mother toughens up and uses filial piety to suppress her, she will still be afraid of Qin's mother-in-law.
Don't let go.
As soon as Zhuang San opened his mouth, he saw Mrs. Qian looking at him sideways, and her scalp went numb. She didn't dare to say anything at that moment, so she just said to go home to see her daughter-in-law, and then ran away.
Huh! Both of them are useless!
Although Mrs. Qian was unwilling to do so, she had no other option for the time being. She closed her eyes and just thought about whether there was any other way to disturb the marriage.
…
Shen Mansion
Shen Wei is in a good mood recently.
The previous lawsuit was over, and he spent enough money to smoothen the relationship with the superiors. The supervisors sent down this time were just for show. He thought it wouldn't be long before he could be reinstated. If it works well,
It is not unthinkable that the network will increase by one liter.
Holding the tea cup with green bamboo branches in his hand, he took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, "This rainy spring really deserves its reputation. When you drink it, you can feel the freshness of the rain from the south of the Yangtze River."
"Of course, the reward from the prefect, how can this be worse?"
Standing aside to serve was Zhou Qi, the servant brought by the Zhou family. He was impetuous in his work and even spoke with the stench of a businessman, which was very unpleasant to Shen Wei.
He frowned, and there was a hint of displeasure at being disturbed when he opened his eyes.
Glancing sideways at the servant next to him who thought he was flattering his master, Shen Wei felt a little nostalgic for Liu De who had been by his side all year round and never talked much.
Seeing that the master didn't smile after hearing his flattery, Zhou Qi knew that this was flattery again, and quickly made up for it, "I heard from the magistrate's servants that the master has never given this kind of good tea to anyone else."
However, I think you are the first to hold this position, sir, which shows that you are highly valued by the Lord."
These words are quite reasonable.
Shen Wei stroked his beard under his chin.
He has quite a literary temperament. Although he only served as a county magistrate and married a businessman's daughter, he doesn't look fat at all. Instead, he is thin and skinny. At first glance, he looks like the kind of man who works for the people as written in dramas.
Master Qingtian is the one who calls the shots.
The prefect took a fancy to this aspect of him, and because he was willing to accommodate him and even offered sacrifices, he was naturally protected.
Playing with the jade seal of the animal button in his hand, Shen Wei thought that now that his affairs were over, it was almost time to bring back his wife and children. Huan'er's child was in poor health and must not be able to bear the hardships in the countryside, so he should It would be better to write a letter early and ask them to leave and come back.
As for Shen Ling.
Shen Wei's hand stroking the jade seal paused.
This child is a bit difficult to handle.
He knew that Mr. Zhou had always disliked seeing Shen Ling because of his son's affairs, so he always whispered in his ears such things as "impairment". He certainly didn't believe in such illusory stories about fate, and the child looked smart. Xiang, I don’t know how many times better than Huan’er. If you train him well, he will definitely be able to go to high school as soon as possible, and then he can hold an official position or work abroad for a few years, which will always be a help to himself.
He pondered for a while.
Forget it, regardless of Mr. Zhou, what do these ignorant and stupid women know? When they return home this time, they will let Shen Ling take the children's examination. With his level, it is not difficult to win a small three yuan. By then, he will become a scholar. , there is no place for a housewife to speak.
"Go and get my pen and ink."
Shen Wei thought for a while and figured out the benefits. Then he put down the jade seal in his hand, took the tea cup and took a sip.
Really good tea!
Not to mention that the tea itself is clear in color, fragrant and slightly bitter with a sweet aftertaste. The fact that the prefect only praised it was enough to make him think about it.
"Sir, there is a letter from Madam."
Shen Wei, who was preparing to write a letter under Zhou Qi's service, raised his head, "Oh? Bring it to me."
The last time he sent a letter was two months ago. Erlizi Village was quite far away from where he took office. If they replied in time, they would arrive around this time.
Shen Wei leaned on the official hat chair and accepted the letter. He was appreciated by his boss and had a cup of good tea. It was time to relax. After receiving the letter, he opened it without caring and read it, just thinking that it contained some Zhou Zhou. His idle talk.
Unexpectedly, he opened the letter, and the more he read, the more he frowned, and finally he slapped the thin piece of letter paper on the table.
Zhou Qi had never seen the master get so angry. He knew that although the wife's husband was a farmer, he was usually more reserved than other scholars and would not show his emotions easily.
He raised his head slightly and only dared to glance to the side.
All I could see was the master's chest rising and falling violently and his nostrils flaring.
It looked like he was really angry.
The servant who delivered the letter was also stunned and was still hunched over. He was not as bold as Zhou Qi and did not dare to raise his head.
"Go and invite the old man and the old lady."
After a long time, Shen Wei finally recovered.
He was filled with anger.
How could a boy like Shen Ling be smitten by a country girl and make a lifelong commitment to him? This is simply a disgrace to his family!
If you are interested in the beauty of that village girl, you can just play around in private. Why do you have to make it known to everyone? I originally wanted to protect it, but now I have no choice. Who knows that I, Shen, am a family heirloom? The most important thing is to pay attention to family tradition, how can such a thing be tolerated?
Not to mention being laughed at by his colleagues, if those censors who have nothing to do find out about it, they will not be allowed to copy it!
How could Shen Wei not know that there must be something fishy in this, but now, he couldn't help but let go of this chess piece that he had raised for more than ten years.
