Chapter 98

Thinking about this back and forth, Shi Tao looked at his sister seriously and said: "It seems that the old lady really knows something, otherwise she would not have banned your feet for three years regardless of the reputation outside, let alone thinking about it. Let the elder brother and the fourth younger brother take over the position of the eldest son, it can be seen that she thought she had guessed what was on his mind, so she did these things in the mansion privately. I guess the father also meant to ground you in the courtyard, but the father is In order to take advantage of the situation and weaken your existence."

Now Huihui doesn't dare to speculate on her father's intentions. It's really hard to guess what the ancients thought, so she said honestly: "I don't know anything else, but the old lady is [-]% aware of the government's intentions." Things other than this, brother, tell me, will the old lady agree with my aunt's idea?" This is currently what worries her the most.

Now Shi Tao understood what his sister meant, and also knew that the old lady was not just as simple as a woman in the inner house, so he honestly smiled and said: "I understand what my sister said, it seems that the old lady specially asked Mama Shi to give it to you. Just to remind you, Bacheng has made up his mind not to want my aunt to achieve what she wants. This is not only about the front matter, but also the noble title in the mansion. This is not something outsiders like my aunt can participate in. From this point of view, this trip to my aunt , there must be many people who broke up unhappy."

When Huihui heard her elder brother say that it was about title or something, she was a little stunned and asked, "How can my aunt be favored and powerful? She can't control who is appointed as the heir in the house, right? We have a father above us." Well, even the old lady in the mansion can’t make a decision on her own, this one has to be sealed by the father, as long as the father makes up his mind, who can really disobey it?” Huihui always felt that only the compromise and hesitation of the man’s family were given to the woman. Hopes and excuses for unreasonable demands.

After hearing what his sister said, Shi Tao didn't discuss it with her. At this time, he didn't talk about it, and he talked too much, so he smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry about this, you have a father and an elder brother, and now I will talk to you too. I don’t understand.” After speaking, he winked at his sister, signaling her to be on guard against someone outside, and then said: “Well, since the old lady has made up her mind, we will wait and see this time, it is best to take the opportunity After the restraint is lifted, no matter what purpose she has this time, my father and I will not allow the old lady to go her own way again, so my sister can rest assured, but we don't necessarily leave the yard when the aunt comes, we just wait for something to happen at the aunt's house. In the end, we will immediately let the old lady relieve the order."

Huihui understood what her brother meant, and felt a little surprised, and hurriedly asked for confirmation: "What does brother mean, that is, we will continue with the previous plan and pretend to avoid heatstroke? Then we will leave the yard after a decision is made? Will this cause other people's suspicion? I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid they'll want to target my brother again." Huihui knew that what these people wanted most was titles, and she was just a weakness to hold back her brother.

Shi Tao already had a specific idea in his mind. Seeing his sister asking, he quickly nodded and said: "Well, that's what it means, don't be afraid, and it's not yet that time, my brother is not immovable with clay, so don't worry , now our situation is not optimistic, my aunt is thinking of getting her father and uncle's two backers to increase her bargaining chip, so she must do everything possible to achieve her goal, and my aunt's means use her to deal with it. You can see it in your own backyard.”

Huihui's heart trembled when she heard this. She knew what her brother meant by saying this, and she even knew better than her brother the power of the house's insidious means. Now that I really have to brace myself to deal with it, but I don't need to tell my brother about this, and I don't have to worry him. Thinking about it this way, she stopped interrupting and just listened carefully to what her brother said.

Shi Tao didn't pay attention to the change in his sister's expression, and only said his own words: "In addition, these people in our house also seem to have seen a piece of fat, and their eyes are green, waiting for this piece of meat to fall into their own pot. Here, so, it’s better for my sister to stay honestly in the yard first, so that I don’t have to be bitten by those wolves who want meat. The old lady agreed to it."

After listening to her brother's words, Huihui laughed at first. The brother's analogy was really funny. The aunt was like a wolf in the butcher's house. Then she figured out her brother's plan, and she was overjoyed again. The aunt's harassment can be relieved again. Once relieved, she must go out of the yard for a stroll, otherwise she would always look at the lotus pond with blue shadows from a distance, and I really feel unsatisfied!But would the old lady agree to her brother's request? Huihui couldn't imagine it, so she hesitated and said, "Brother, can this really be done? The old lady is not easy to deal with, and she can still listen to you? You can do whatever you want ?”

Shi Tao seemed confident. Hearing his sister's question, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Don't worry about this. Brother has his own idea. We have the best hole card in our hand. With this, we won't be afraid of her." You shouldn't." After speaking, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Huihui's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she carefully guessed: "Brother, but what did father give you, letter? Hand? Money?" Apart from these, Huihui couldn't think of any cards in his brother's hand.

Shi Tao looked at Cong Hui's younger sister with a funny face, and said lightly, "At the beginning, I guessed well, but later on, it didn't work at all. Thanks to your thinking, you still have money. Even if you have these, you said that your father will send them to you. Do I have it? Besides, my father will not use any excuse to blackmail the old lady. This is a rule set by my grandfather, apart from this, what do you think my father can have?"

Huihui looked at her brother's appearance and felt it was funny. She was really lying to her. Her father, a general in the town, had no money in his hands. Even though he always sent things home, Huihui knew that her father would never leave behind A large amount of useful money is given to him. As an official and a father, he must have money in his hands, otherwise what can he do?But if my brother doesn't say anything, she won't ask, money and her are not necessary now, so she smiled and said: "Then brother, tell me, what is the method so effective?"

Shi Tao looked at the smirk on the corner of his sister's mouth, and knew that she didn't believe what he said, but he just said that, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, he certainly won't let his sister have no money and no dowry, so he smiled and said: "This It can only be said that there is no way to say it, anyway, my sister should think about it carefully, what can be tempting, not many, what kind of things should I say can tempt the old lady who doesn't care about the amount of money?"

Upon hearing this, Huihui smiled and said: "That's true. To the old lady, the amount of money is already meaningless, so what's left is power. This is something that older people What I care about the most is what the old lady has been thinking about all her life, is my brother right?" After speaking, he gave a smirk twice.

Shi Tao spoiled and said funnyly: "Naughty! That's right, my sister is the smartest, she guesses right, it's this, what the old lady wants most, this is not difficult to guess at all, she is old, and has accumulated money all her life It can't be spent in a few lifetimes. It would be a joke to say that she is short of money, but the money is dead, and she has to stand tall all the time, otherwise even if she has money, she can't keep it, so she has to be the highest in the house. For those who are in power, it’s okay to have sons. When they grow up, they can have children, but they don’t have to be obedient, so what’s left is the two daughters-in-law. If she has no authority, how can the daughter-in-law fear and respect her?”

Huihui smiled when she heard this, and it sounded so true. Isn't an official wife like the old lady the one who is most afraid of losing authority and losing her daily flattery?If the situation in the mansion is out of balance, she must be in a hurry. Huihui said confidently: "Well, it must be. The old lady is probably most afraid that others will not know her authority, and she wants to keep herself in the position of power." peak, then she has to be the old lord in the mansion all the time, and the mansion has to be balanced so that she has the opportunity to be the old lord."

Shi Tao listened to his sister shaking his head like an adult talking about these things, he felt very interested, and wanted to test his sister's ability, so he nodded and said: "This is right or wrong, isn't the old lady just from the house?" Lao Feng Jun, with her father around for a day, she will not be powerless, and the son's filial piety is the truth."

Huihui didn't think much about her brother's intentions, and just argued: "It is important for a son to be filial, but the affairs of the house are usually taken care of by the wife who is in charge of the house. How can there be a daughter-in-law who has been in the house for many years and still takes care of the big things and small things in the house?" , This is what people say, if it is like the aunt's family, where only the aunt is the only daughter-in-law, and the big and small affairs of the family have to be taken care of by the aunt, the strict Mrs. Fighting, this is the worst way, but there is no way for the Hou's mansion, but our mansion happens to be a three-legged force of horns. Let people rush to sell it."

Shi Tao heard his sister's explanation quite well, and was overjoyed, what a smart sister!He was afraid that his sister would not be able to manage his backyard well without his mother's teaching. He didn't want her to be so transparent, so he made up his mind and told her something, so he smiled and said, "That's the reason, my father gave me a letter. The letter said that if the younger sister came out smoothly, then this letter will not be taken out, if not, then it can be given to the old lady directly, so that she can't refuse it in her heart. By the way, this letter is now on the elder brother's body Hold on, do you want to see it?" He patted his chest pocket as he spoke.

Huihui knew that her elder brother was teasing her, and that she could read the letters, and probably her elder brother couldn't read them herself, so she deliberately stretched out her hand and said, "Since my elder brother has brought it with me, let me pay my respects to my father's letter." Mo Bao, I haven't seen my father's handwriting yet, so I won't be deceived in the future." After speaking, he stared at his brother's handsome face jokingly to see what he said.
