Chapter 93 Your face is left in the womb
Huiyu really didn't expect Mrs. Dong Er to dare to say that about Master Dong Er through a curtain. He reckoned that Master Dong Er's face in the room at this time must be very exciting. Not only would he lose face in front of his wife, but now he would be in front of his daughter. No face anymore.

Faced with such a tough Mrs. Dong Er, Huiyu had no choice but to run away.

Under the strict and standardized dogma of the ancient boudoir, how did the grandfather of the Xing family raise such a wonderful daughter?

Sure enough, mighty.

After her daughter left, Mrs. Dong opened the curtain and entered the inner room. She saw Mr. Dong applying ointment in front of the mirror. There was a nail mark from his left eyebrow across the bridge of his nose to his right cheek. It was very scary to look at.It was miserable enough to be caught like this, but after hearing Mrs. Dong's words, it almost became a palette.

"Can't you save me some face in front of your daughter?"

"Face is something you have forgotten in your mother's womb since you were born. Want it? Why don't you go back and find it!"

Master Dong Er: ...

"I know I've done a lot of things wrong, so can't you forgive me just for the sake of your child?"

"Then you go to ask the children for forgiveness first. Your son has a bad temper and your daughter is a little proud. Both of these children have been hurt by you. Hehe, for God's sake, I pray for you and hope you have good luck." .”

Master Dong Er's complexion was dark, and seeing Mrs. Dong Er's mocking smile on his face, he immediately felt like a needle prick.

"You hate me."

"No, hating you is a waste of life, you are not that valuable, don't overestimate yourself."

"Your bad temper is exactly the same as before, a word can choke someone to death."

"It can be seen how thick-skinned you are. How many words I have said over the years, I have never seen that I can really choke you to death."

Master Dong Er gave up the treatment, sat there dejectedly, silently took the ointment and continued to apply it.Thinking about pointing at Mrs. Dong's second wife, I can't point to it, so I'd better do it myself.

Mrs. Dong Er didn't give Master Dong Er a single eye corner, she sat there and continued: "I tell you, you go and talk to your good brother clearly, if his wife dares to try my daughter again, I will let his whole family The chickens and dogs are restless."

Master Dong's hand trembled, and he poked the wound all of a sudden, screaming in pain.

Mrs. Dong's Second Madam listened to this scream, and a big man cried out in pain, "Excuse me!"

Seeing Mrs. Dong's contemptuous gaze, Master Dong took a deep breath to swallow his anger. Forget it, it's been half of his life. She hasn't looked at him since they got married. He bears it!Swallowing the anger, and then recollecting Mrs. Dong's words, she looked at her and said suspiciously: "You dragged me here today, so it was calculated?" As the one who was calculated to be cannon fodder, Dong The second master felt very sad.

"Your daughter only gets married once in her life, and she will be plotted against by your big brother and sister-in-law just once in her life. You have wronged you by standing up for your daughter? Oh, by the way, your daughter has never seen you defend her when she grows up." Once, you are wronged enough."

"You know I definitely don't mean that." Mr. Dong Er threw down the ointment in his hand, and turned to look at Mrs. Dong Er. Perhaps it was because the affairs of the second wife in the past few months have been one after another, and there is Dong Er in between. The second wife ran away with Huiyu, and the second master Dong looked thinner and haggard.

"I don't care what you mean. In a word, are you going or not? If you don't go, I will go in person. I want to see if the lady has the face to accept my words. Why doesn't she marry her own daughter to her nephew?" That bastard? It’s not like looking at our second room is easy to bully, that’s right, even if you are a virtuous person, you can’t even look at you. Who can pick up persimmons and pinch them softly. But she shouldn’t plot against my daughter, An Sheng doesn't want to live a happy life. It's done. Let's ride a donkey and read the album. Her daughter wants to find a good family? Hehe, it's not easy to make a marriage, but it's too easy to ruin a marriage. I let her My daughter is stepping up for Huiyu, believe it or not! Use Mrs. Tai to suppress me, okay, I dare not be tough with Mrs. Tai, but I can make her beloved daughter unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life." Second Mrs. Dong He just has a bad temper, and the more he talks, the more angry he gets. Seeing Master Dong's cowardly appearance makes him even more angry. Men are incapable, women just want to be trampled on.

"As an adult, why do you always have trouble with children? This is a conflict between you and your sister-in-law. Don't blame the younger generation." Mr. Dong's head hurts. He has never worried about it since he was born. Strength, my mother coaxed in pain, and my brother arrogantly indulged, asking the moon not to give the stars.The biggest stumble in this life was on his wife. The two of them spent half of their lives, quarreled and had a cold war. No one looked down on the other, and no one looked down on the other. In fact, he also wanted to live a good life at the beginning. [Note: The term "wife" first appeared in "Menglianglu. Night Market" written by Wu Zimu in the Song Dynasty. There is a sentence that reads: "It's more famous, time comes, buy farmland, and marry a wife."]

Mrs. Dong Er heard that the sparks in her eyes were about to burst out, she sneered at Master Dong Er twice, and raised her eyebrows, "Your elder brother and his family can step on my daughter to refute interests, so I can't do that? Okay Okay, you are a family of brothers and sisters, I am an outsider, get out of here!"

"Why are you angry again? It's just a dog's temper."

"What's wrong with my dog ​​temper?"

"I'll go, I'll go, okay?" Master Dong Er really thought it was a big deal, so he just made such a fuss.His eldest brother would definitely not agree to what his sister-in-law did. She must have been hiding it from her elder brother. He didn't understand how she could be so angry, but it was all done with one sentence.

Second Master Dong covered his face all the way to the Eldest Master's study dodgingly, and by coincidence the two brothers met outside the gate of the study as soon as the Elder Master came back.The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw his younger brother's face, and his face turned black, "You two are fighting again? How can you say that you can do it right away after you are so grown-up? This face is going to be ruined, show me What are you blocking?"

The Second Master Dong heard that the Eldest Master directly blamed the matter on Mrs. Dong Second, and hurriedly said: "This was not done by your younger siblings. Now that she doesn't do anything, she just likes to scold people."

Master Dong: ...

Looking at his younger brother, the Eldest Master felt a little guilty, and sighed, "Come in first, what will it look like when people see it?" As he said that he took the lead, Second Master Dong followed in, and the Elder Master was going to ask the doctor to help him. Looking at his face, the second master quickly said: "That's no need, the wound medicine from your brother and sister is much more effective than the medicine outside."

I dare say you have been beaten many times and have experience, right?This is unbelievable!The elder didn't know what to say, seeing that his brother's face was indeed covered with ointment, he said, "Tell me what's going on? I said you can't live your life in a hurry, you have to make something happen. It's comfortable, right?"

"Brother, it's not my fault, you have to ask sister-in-law." The second master is aggrieved, he is the innocent cannon fodder, okay, he was beaten over there, and he will be punished here, can you treat him Be nice?

The elder obviously didn't know what happened, so he looked at his younger brother and asked, "Speak clearly, don't be vague, I am your brother."

"Sister-in-law is too dishonest." The second master pondered how to solve this matter satisfactorily. The eldest brother and sister-in-law could not fight, and the wife could still calm down the anger. His IQ was a little anxious for such a difficult problem.But regarding the matter of filing a complaint, Mr. Dong Er, a big man, also felt a little ashamed. After saying this, he couldn't open his mouth.

Mr. Dong was not happy anymore, he didn’t understand half of what his younger brother said, isn’t this out of desperation, “You just keep talking, what’s going on. Injured, whoever scratches you, tell the truth."

Master Dong Er coughed lightly, organized his words, and then said: "Brother, you are my own brother, I listen to you in everything, and I haven't done anything to embarrass you for so many years. There is something related to you Come on, don't meddle in my child's marriage, we will watch it ourselves, so I beg you as my younger brother."

Master Dong's face turned pale with anger, "What kind of bastard talk is this, when did I interfere in the marriage of my nephew and niece? It was your child in the first place, if you are optimistic about it, I will help you to discuss it with me." Look, if you don't ask me, I won't blame you." Having said this, he looked at his younger brother and said, "Your sister-in-law...but did you do something inappropriate?"

Mr. Dong was a little uneasy. He still knew a little about his wife. It would be fine if he changed to other things, but once the children of the second sibling were involved, the second sibling's temper... the elder felt that the matter was a bit serious .

"Sister-in-law and mother proposed to marry Huiyu to the eldest son of Anpinghou." Master Dong Er sighed, and then couldn't help saying: "Brother, I know I am useless, and sister-in-law probably looks down on me as a younger brother But no matter how badass I am, I can't let Huiyu marry Song Maocai. What kind of thing is Song Maocai?

The Eldest Master was really taken aback, he didn't expect such a thing, his face turned dark, he patted the table and said: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" Then he looked at the Second Master and said, "Don't worry about this matter I can't get through here, if Song Maocai is a useful person, even if I go to propose marriage to Anpinghou, I will be embarrassed, but what kind of virtue is Anpinghou's son, he is worthy of the girl of our Duke's mansion? Dreaming! Second child, you go back first. My brother will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Your sister-in-law is probably being let go by her little sister. It may not be easy to refuse for a while, but as long as I say a word about this matter Even if you block it, go back and tell your siblings to let her rest assured."

Hearing what my brother said, Master Dong Er breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Brother, I'm not stupid, I know that what happened to Xia's family during the draft draft made my sister-in-law feel uncertain. But what kind of person have I been for so many years?" Don't worry yet?"

The old man's face changed slightly, and the muscles on his face became a little stiff. He looked at the second old man and said, "Second man, what do you mean by that? If you say that, you are a bit petty. Your sister-in-law has treated you all for so many years. There is nothing to say, food, drink and clothes are not bad for you. Your sister-in-law did not do well in this matter, and she may not have bad intentions. You know that Mrs. Anpinghou is her own sister, so maybe it is not easy to push it away. If you want to ask your mother for something, don't worry too much."

Master Dong Er was startled for a moment, looked up at his elder brother, and then smiled, "What elder brother said is that maybe sister-in-law has a last resort. But what if Mrs. Anping Hou is asking for a niece? Wouldn’t it be better for a niece to promise her a younger sister? Aunt cousin, aunt cousin, break the bones and connect the tendons, wouldn’t it be more fulfilling for the sister-in-law to promise the eldest niece to the prince of Anping?”

"Second brother, your eldest niece is going to be drafted this year, what nonsense are you talking about!" The elder was also a little angry, thinking that this younger brother seems to be a little different from you since the second younger sibling came back this time.

"Yeah, my niece has a bright future ahead, and I'm afraid that what happened in the summer will repeat itself. Our Huiyu hinders my niece's future. Brother, don't treat everyone else as fools. The little sister-in-law's little thought really makes me think Can't others see it?" Master Dong Er was a little disappointed, if his elder brother could judge justice in front of him, would he really insist on it?But elder brother...it feels a little sad to favor sister-in-law in this way.It's too much to pave the way for her daughter with his own daughter's future!

It was the first time in so many years that I heard my younger brother speak like this, the Eldest Master couldn't recover for a while, until the Second Elder flung his sleeves away, it was too late for the Eldest Master to call someone back, and he was so angry that he couldn't calm down for a long time Come.When he regained his composure, the old man thought of his younger brother's behavior just now, and felt very uncomfortable. He was used to his younger brother listening to him in everything for so many years, and went as he arranged, and suddenly such a thing happened , there is a sense of relief that my younger brother has grown up, but also a sense of... a sense of crisis.

After thinking about it, the elder got up and went to the madam's yard.

The lady saw the old man with a bad face come in, she hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and greeted him, "Why is the master here?" It was not dark yet, and the old man usually stayed in the study at this time, so the lady was a little puzzled.

The Eldest Man was holding back his anger, but when he entered the door and saw the maids, he was about to speak when he heard what the Elder Madam said, but his eyes fell on the sewing dustpan that the Elder Madam had just casually put down , what was sewn inside was a men's underwear. For so many years, the eldest lady would sew the clothes for him every year with her own hands, and the evil fire in the elder's stomach was slowly suppressed back.

Seeing that the Eldest Man looked bad, the eldest lady knew in her heart that there must be something wrong, so she ordered the maids to serve tea immediately, and then let them go down.I sat opposite the Eldest Master, thought for a while before slowly opening my mouth, "Master, what is embarrassing, if you can do it, just say it."

The Eldest Master hesitated to speak. Speaking of which, although the Eldest Madam has some tricks for so many years, it is still passable. At least she manages the entire Duke’s Mansion properly, and she can be regarded as giving him all her heart. She has done a good job in her job. not bad.It's just that when the children grow up, their hearts grow bigger, they think more and do more, but they forget that it is more prudent and prudent at this time.

"Yao Lan, we husband and wife haven't sat down and talked for a long time."

When the eldest lady heard the elder call her boudoir name, her eyes were a little red, she hadn't heard these two words for many years.Squeezing a little smile, she said with an unnatural expression: "Master is busy with business, I know." In fact, the eldest lady wants to say, you have been seduced by Aunt Liang's lowly maid, can you still remember me?
"For so many years, I have been at ease in entrusting you to take care of this family." The elder looked at the elder lady and continued, "I know you have always resented me for doting on Aunt Liang, but no matter how much you dote on her, she is just a concubine. Before you, you have to serve tea and water, beat your legs and squeeze your back, and set rules in front of you for the rest of your life."

The smile on the face of the eldest lady lowered her head and her face froze. When she heard this, she quickly raised her head and said, "What did the master say? Aunt Liang has worked hard to give birth to a son and a daughter for the master. She is also credited with spreading branches and leaves for the Dong family. Concubine How can she be jealous, as long as she behaves well, she will always have a good time in the future." I am afraid that some people will not be satisfied.

"You have always been very knowledgeable about the general situation and things. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law taught you well, and you taught the two children well. Yuncheng is calm, open-minded, smart and eager to learn, and can distinguish right from wrong. I can rest assured that this family will be entrusted to him in the future. Wan'er is knowledgeable, tolerant, filial, and will have a bright future in this draft. Both sons and daughters will be promising. You have a bright face as a mother, and I, a father, can stand up straight. .” The old man stretched his arms across the table and held the lady’s hand, his words were tender and his eyes were affectionate.

Da Furen's eyes were red when she heard this, "As long as it is for this family and for the children, I am willing to do anything. Why do you say these things? Together, we should work together.”

"But not all husbands and wives in the world can be like you, and it is my blessing to be able to marry a wife like this." The old man sighed, and when he saw that the old lady was about to speak, he said, "Don't talk about other people's families, just talk about your relatives." My younger sister, Mrs. Anpinghou, is from Zhaoguo Duke’s Mansion just like you, and was taught by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but how many jokes have been seen in Anpinghou’s Mansion these years, how many dirty things have been reported in the inner house, who’s coming together Shake your head."

The lady's face gradually turned pale, and she began to feel uneasy.He felt that something was wrong when the good-natured master suddenly told her about the old days, and at this time he mentioned the younger sister's family in a casual way, which made him even more uneasy. Could it be that the things she mentioned to Mrs. Tai were leaked?If this is the case, the eldest lady is really a little uneasy. Speaking of this matter, the reason why she didn't mention it to the master first is because she wanted to explain the matter to Mrs. Tai first, and then settle the matter through Mrs. Tai's mouth. The filial elder will naturally not object, and the wimpy second elder will not say anything. Even if the second wife has some dissatisfaction, is it possible that he can stand up to his mother-in-law and be charged with unfilial piety?
But now hearing the Eldest Master mentioned her younger sister's family, the Eldest Madam felt a little uncomfortable, but she forced a smile and said, "It's much better now than before. My younger sister has always had a strong temper, and my brother-in-law has such a temper. The two inevitably stumbled, but they are much better now."

Hearing what the eldest lady said, the elder brother also confirmed that the second brother's words were correct, and the anger in his heart almost flared up again.However, the eldest master has a few tricks to gallop in the officialdom for so many years, so he smiled and said to the eldest lady: "Whether it is good or not, the reputation of the Anping Hou Mansion in the capital is not very good. Naturally, we as in-laws can help Help, but if you can't help, can the Dong family lose money? The Dong family still has a big family to take care of, what do you think?"

"Of course what the master said is true." The smile on the face of the eldest lady could hardly be squeezed out. Seeing that the elder couldn't help it, she said: "Don't worry, master, I naturally know how to do it."

The old man stood up and held the lady's hand tightly, "Yaolan has always known my heart, so I can trust it. I still have some official business in the study, I will go to work first, and I will have dinner in the evening."

The eldest lady forced out a smile and sent the elder man out, but when she returned to the room, she sat down on the big couch with an ugly face as if painted with black paste.It seems that tomorrow she has to go to the Marquis of Anping to explain to her sister in person, if the master does not agree with this marriage, can she go against his will?But who revealed this matter, which caused her to lose face in front of the master.

The eldest lady didn't expect that before she went to Anpinghou's mansion the next day, Madam Zheng, the competent mother of Anpinghou's wife, would come. As soon as she saw the eldest lady, she held her handkerchief and cried, "Mrs. Ah, this is too deceiving, our wife is still lying on the bed, if my concubine can't seek justice for our wife, what face will there be..."

Mama Zheng complained about her grievances without saying a word. The eldest lady didn't sleep well last night, with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, she felt her head buzzing when she heard Mama Zheng howling.

Madam Liu, who was beside the eldest lady, hurriedly stepped forward to help Mama Zheng up, and persuaded her, "Speak well, you can't talk well even if you cry like this. Our wife and Madam Hou are sisters, why don't we talk about it?" If you don’t want to help, please explain the matter clearly.”

Mama Zheng stopped crying when she heard the words, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, sat on the twig brought by Mama Liu, and said to the eldest lady: "I heard that there is a new batch of jewelry coming, yesterday. Our wife has come and gone to pick out a few items for the eldest girl. I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Dong Er from your mansion. Oh, my God, I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen such unreasonable Yes, so arrogant. Auntie, you don’t know, how many pieces of jewelry our wife has taken a fancy to, but Mrs. Dong Er robbed our wife and doubled the price, a gold hairpin inlaid with gems and other gold The building can be bought for only a few tens of gold, but Mrs. Dong tripled the price abruptly in order to grab it. For the sake of my concubine, this is fine, but Mrs. Dong still said every word about our wife. I don't have money and can't even buy a golden hairpin, do you see someone who runs away like this..."

Mama Zheng babbled and told the story. In the end, of course she did not say that Mrs. Anpinghou made the move first, but vaguely said that both of them did it, and that Mrs. Anpinghou's slap was slapped. After reading it again, let the eldest lady uphold justice.

The eldest lady was directly in the shape of a stone sculpture, "...Say it again, who did you say scratched the face of the second master? Who got a slap?"

Mama Zheng coughed lightly, "It was Mrs. Dong Er who deliberately provoked our wife, and the two of them started fighting. At this time, Mr. Dong Er, a big man, actually intervened. This is not a bully. Poor our wife has never been in trouble since she was a child." Got a finger, but now he is slapped in the face, Auntie, you have to make decisions for our wife."

The eldest lady could barely breathe, no wonder the elder said those words to her last night, no wonder the elder turned a corner and warned herself not to marry Anping Houfu.The second master Dong was caught taking a slap in the face for the second wife, and her own sister was slapped. Who will tell her what to do?
Seeing the stiff face of the eldest lady, Zheng's mother was also a little uneasy, but remembering the order of the lady, she still bite the bullet and said: "Concubine, you just said something, maybe our wife was beaten in vain No?"

"Then our second master's face was also scratched, what should we do?" The eldest lady said angrily, "You know that the second master is the most beloved son of Mrs. Tai, so how can you put all your strength on his face? How do you tell me to explain to Mrs. Tai about what you have done?" She still knows a little about her own sister's virtues, and it seems that Fenglan must have made a move first, which annoyed the second lady.

Thinking of Mrs. Dong's dog temper, the eldest lady wanted to pretend to be dead.

"Go back and tell your wife that you don't want to go out during this period. It's best that she didn't start this matter first, otherwise... Otherwise, I won't be able to please, and I can't do anything about our wife. Confess." Da Furen waved her hand to ask Mother Liu to send him out, but she fell on the soft pillow and couldn't get up for a long time.
