Madam Zhu herself was born into a noble family, and she often boasted of herself as a noble family in recent years. When encountering difficult things outside, the name Jinghu Liu Family was very useful. Now that my granddaughter is married to the Zheng family in Xingyang, I thought at first that although Zheng Miao was from an official family, his foundation was not good, but now I have changed my mind.
The Zheng family of Xingyang deserves to be called the Zheng family of Xingyang. With a little help from her children, they have risen rapidly in the officialdom.
And his son is already over forty, and he is only a fellow scholar now. Look at Zheng Hao who has become a minister. Children from aristocratic families have people to support them in the officialdom, but children from poor families lack connections.
Even the small courtyard where Zhu Lingxuan lived was exquisite and different from other places.
"In the future, you and your wife should live a good life. Yes, have you visited your aunt? ()" Mrs. Zhu asked.
Zhu Lingxuan said: My aunt always goes there to visit her during the New Year and holidays, but we live here and it’s not easy to invite her back. 12()_[(()”
"That's right, no matter how good it is, it's better to live in someone else's home. I just hope that your husband can go to high school as soon as possible and you can start your own business independently." Mrs. Zhu said.
There is always a banquet in the world, and no matter how good Zheng Miao is here, it is not his own home.
But Zhu Lingxuan had something different in mind: "There are very few people who can pass the imperial examination, so I am free to let them study hard. Now that we have settled in Shuntian Prefecture, the scientific examination in Beijing is better than in Henan."
Living in a big family, Zhu Lingxuan felt that it was different from his own home. When he was in his own home, it was good to live alone, but when the man was not at home, the house was empty and there was no one to take care of him. It's not as good as being at the Zheng family. The aunt treats the couple very well and takes care of them. The house is in good order and they feel comfortable living here.
But Zhu Lingxuan also knew that his grandmother liked to be quiet at home and did not drink alcohol, but everyone knew that she should not be ignored. She came from the Jinghu Liu family.
When Zhu Lingxuan lived in the Zheng family, he had met the real Jinghu Liu family. It was true that they were full of powerful people. Not to mention calling slaves and maids, their magnificence was beyond the reach of ordinary officials.
Mr. Liu is very silent, but his eyes are like a falcon. Everyone flatters him when they see him, because he is the commander of the Royal Guards, a close confidant of the emperor, and has great power. Even if he retires now, his power will not diminish. And Mr. Liu Er, my aunt's biological father, is also a high-ranking official. He has been promoted to the governor of Zhili, which is extremely noble.
Even several of my aunt's sisters were either married into wealthy and scholarly families, or were married into noble families. There was even a girl who married into the East Palace.
Just when the Zhu family members were chatting about their daily life, Zhulan suddenly came over. Zhu Lingxuan knew that Zhulan was Lishu's eldest girl and her confidant. When he saw her coming, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly stood up and asked: " What's the matter with Miss Zhulan coming here?"
"Sixth Young Mistress, our old man and our old lady are here and want to see your grandmother." Zhu Lan spoke concisely and concisely.
Zhu Lingxuan hadn't reacted yet: "Why did they see my grandmother?"
Soon Zhu Lingxuanjiu knew the purpose of his visit. Mr. Liu stood next to Mrs. Liu. Although he was older, he was still burly and looked tall and majestic. Mrs. Liu usually looked like an old feudal lord sitting down. Today, he stood When she stood up, she looked thin and tall.
Mrs. Zhu looked at the two of them and thought that her cousin always listened to her sister-in-law when she was young, and it is the same now. She said something for no reason.
"You actually dare to be outside
() Using the banner of our Liu family to bluff and deceive? You seem to have forgotten what happened back then. Why are you embarrassed? Mrs. Liu sneered again and again.
Mrs. Zhu has never thought about this kind of scene since she met Li Shu, but she finds it funny, just because she is a married woman, right?
"What do you call cheating under the guise? Am I not born in the Liu family? Besides, I have never taken the initiative to do anything under the guise." Mrs. Zhu was not afraid when she saw the menace of these two men.
Old Mrs. Liu frowned: "Have you not repented after all these years? If it weren't for you, how could Sanlang die?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Mrs. Zhu's eyebrows, but she still insisted: "Cousin, you also know that when my husband did this, he never told me, and I didn't know she was such a despicable person. . Moreover, because of this incident, his career was ruined and his life was gone. Over the years, I have not asked you for anything. I raised my son alone. What do you want from me now? "
Mrs. Liu just felt aggrieved. Her brother had a bright future, but he was slandered by Zhu Lian and even committed suicide by drowning. He has done nothing wrong in his life. It was just that he was the one who pulled the strings and knew that Mrs. Zhu was kidnapped by her sister. She was the one who stole the marriage. Originally, the younger brother wanted to be the daughter of the Qianshan Fei family, which was also an official family. No. .
At that time, she was thinking that Mrs. Zhu was a member of the Liu family, a sister of her husband's family, and she was very pitiful, so she persuaded her mother's family. How could she have known that such a thing would happen.
No one else understands this kind of grievance. Many people think that Zhu Lian is dead and it was not Mrs. Zhu who did it. Why should she be blamed? But Mrs. Liu just felt that if she hadn't gotten into trouble back then, this kind of problem would not have occurred.
Ten Zhulians could not compensate for her brother's life.
Old Mrs. Liu was afraid that his wife would be angry, so he held her shoulders and said to Mrs. Zhu in a cold voice: "You don't have to pretend to be innocent. I have already found out. Over the years, your daughter married the Marquis of Wuyang and your son married the Yang family of Hongnong. Not once did we rely on our Jinghu Liu family. Didn’t you already cut off all ties between us?"
After he finished speaking, he said to Mrs. Liu: "Zeng, don't be too angry."
Mrs. Zhu was very puzzled: "Cousin, you are talking here as if everything is my fault. Am I not also a victim? If you really want to take my life, you can take it." Go ahead."
…
After Zheng Hao finished talking with Mr. Zhu, he quickly came over to Li Shu and said, "I heard that your grandfather and grandmother are here. Is there anything going on?"
"I'm going to see Mrs. Zhu. It's not convenient for me to go. After all, it's a matter for the elders, so I'll just stay here." Li Shu looked at Zheng Hao.
"This matter is difficult to handle. What do you think your grandmother and others want to do?" Zheng Hao asked.
Li Shu shook her head: "Then I don't know. There won't be a fight. I think it will be fine as long as Mrs. Zhu admits her mistake. In fact, this is a matter of attitude. You can't continue to fight every day if you have a grudge against someone. Let’s use the Jinghu Liu family’s banner to make profits for ourselves.”
Zheng Hao raised his eyebrows slightly: "What you said makes sense."
…
With a "pop", Mrs. Liu's slap hit Mrs. Zhu's face. Mrs. Zhu had never been so humiliated since she got married. She even had a smooth journey, so she never thought that Mrs. Liu would hit her.
Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Lingxuan who were outside the door obviously heard it too.
Dongjing () stood up.
Mrs. Zhu was about to rush in (), but was held back by Zhu Lingxuan. Mrs. Zhu looked at her daughter in confusion and whispered: "Your grandmother is being bullied. I rushed in to take a look. I have to be a helper. "
"Mom, this is a matter between elders. Look, my aunt hasn't come here yet. What's going on if you go in?" Zhu Lingxuan missed his mother because she was too down-to-earth, so she acted foolishly. The old lady was So smart.
Only the mother in the Zhu family is the stupidest. The old lady treats Aunt Dong politely, but she doesn't really care about Aunt Dong. Now Aunt Dong is still here.
As for the two sons born to Aunt Dong, my grandmother did not look down on them at all. Instead, she hired husbands for them and even found a very appropriate and honorable marriage for Aunt Dong's eldest son.
Even the fiancée of my own brother was decided by the old lady, who was much more affectionate to her grandmother than to her mother.
My mother is just a puppet now, and she really takes care of the old lady.
What's going on if you break in now? The old lady was quarreling with her mother-in-law.
That old man Liu was no ordinary person. It was said that he had been awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief Zuo, the crown prince, and he was also the former commander of the Imperial Guards. He was extremely powerful. Even if his aunt is a junior in front of others, why would her mother go out and offend others.
Mrs. Zhu was also shocked by this slap. She didn't expect that Mrs. Zeng would become so undignified over the years and even hit people. You must know that Mrs. Zhu was also a person with a strong temper when she was in her boudoir, otherwise she would not be able to raise her children alone.
"You..." Mrs. Zhu's face turned red, she pointed at Mrs. Liu and kept shaking.
Old Mrs. Liu said coldly: "If you didn't use the banner of the Jinghu Liu family, we wouldn't be looking for you. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with us. But since your husband killed Sanlang, why are you still here?" Do you have the nerve to use the banner of the Jinghu Liu family? Are you embarrassed?"
Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth and said nothing. For the first time, she felt humiliated and ashamed. All kinds of emotions made her noble status outside seem like a joke.
Mrs. Liu slapped her, and her years of resentment seemed to be vented. She tugged on Mrs. Liu's clothes and said, "Let's go home. I want to go home."
"Okay, A Zeng, let's go home." Mr. Liu turned back and gave Mrs. Zhu a deep look.
Mrs. Zhu knew very well in her heart that Mrs. Liu came to vent her anger and slapped her to vent her anger, while Mrs. Liu was waiting for his wife to vent her anger and wanted to cut off her escape.
As long as they express their attitude, Zheng Hao will no longer care about her son, and may even cause trouble. The Chi family is not as good as before. It would be okay if the son-in-law was still a marquis, but the uncle-in-law is gone and the grandchildren have not yet grown up.
The cousin's move was clearly a threat to her, telling her to go back to her hometown and cower, otherwise he would take action.
Mrs. Zhu is not afraid of the tricks of the inner house, but she has seen the tricks of men, especially those of her cousin. Even when Mrs. Liu was dismissed from office because of the eunuch A Fu's palace, she still felt that he deserved it because of his evil intentions.
Unexpectedly, he rushed directly in front of her and threatened her.
Mrs. Zhu thought of her son who was just the right age but had no hope of career, and instantly collapsed to the ground. !
