MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 8
Mrs. Xiao was not happy for a long time, and when she returned to the room, she saw a bag on her husband's forehead and asked the truth, she suddenly became angry, picked up a lacquered wood wine and put it on him A bag was also smashed out of the forehead on the other side, making a pair for General Cheng.
That night, Cheng Shi waited until Cheng's mother's energy died down, and then went to Cheng's mother's house with a pair of well-proportioned bags on the top of her forehead, and finally showed her acting skills that she had never used during the day and her true feelings. After a while, mother and son finally reconciled.
The next step is to consolidate the situation.
First, Cheng Shi led out an old woman with gray hair and a hard-working face, and Mother Cheng burst into tears when she saw it. When the Dong family was prosperous, Dong Taigong once hired some tenant farmers. This old woman was the daughter of the Dong family who was helping the farmers. Cheng’s mother grew up playing in the countryside with her, and they were quite sisters. Later, the family's finances became increasingly difficult, and Dong Taigong had to be dismissed to help the farmers.
Mrs. Xiao has a lot of scheming. When she went around with her husband, she kept paying attention to looking for fellow villagers who fled in all directions. She wanted to find a few distant relatives of the Dong family for help, but she came to find them. There was no news, it was obvious that the Dong family members were almost dead.
In the end, Cheng Shi fought all the way and became famous. This old woman surnamed Hu came to the door on her own. Coincidentally, when this Hu Concubine left her hometown with her newly married husband, Cheng's mother had just given birth to Cheng Shi, and just got a big name. If it were another son of the Cheng family, Hu Concubine might not dare to come forward and recognize each other.
Mrs. Xiao immediately felt that the goods were rare, so she quickly arranged for Hu's seriously injured son and seriously ill grandson, and brought them back to the capital all the way. Originally, she was going to lead Hu Hao out as soon as she came back, but was dissuaded by Mrs. Xiao and decided to take steps one, two, three, four.
"Aunt Jun is her own ancestor, not an enemy army conquered by adults. You can beat it with a hammer, regardless of casualties." Mrs. Xiao smiled, "If you want to take it slow, ask Jun Au to take this Ten years of anger is given out, the grudges between mother and son have been eliminated, and an old sister will meet again, and then it will be a matter of course, and the result will be multiplied with less effort."
Mother Cheng was really overjoyed, she hugged Hu Yu and cried and laughed, slapped Cheng Shi and laughed and scolded why she hadn't invited Hu Yu out earlier. Cheng Shi hurriedly put out the draft and said: "At that time, my mother was angry, and I brought people out to look like I had no plans, but now my mother is not angry, so that my mother knows that I only want to call out my mother. Mother is just happy." Cheng's mother heard it, and she was even more moved, and she knew that Cheng Shi had included the Hu family's children and grandchildren into the part, and left Hu Li by her side to accompany the stewards. She only felt that her son was really caring for her.
She has seen Mrs. Xiao's greatness, and she naturally knows how to speak and act.
What's even better is that during the whole process, Mrs. Xiao was very obedient and completely invisible. They said that the war was difficult, and for a while, saliva was flying about the scenery outside, and Hu Li was wiping tears from the side. For a time, the mother and son were more in love than Jin Jian.
Mother Cheng listened to Hu Li again about how tragic the battle ahead was, and how many generals were missing arms, legs, eyes and ears. She touched the old wounds on her son's body, and her heart was broken. , Thinking that it is not easy for his son, Uncle Dong has to dig for money behind him, and he can't wait to cut off his brother's meat immediately to make up for his son.
Ge's wanted to go to Cheng's mother's place to give Mrs. Xiao some eye drops several times, either when Cheng Shi was telling a story, and the mother and son who didn't want a third party to intervene came out together, or bumped into Cheng Mother and Hu Li were immersed in their past feelings, and were scolded out of anger.
Cheng Shaoshang didn't know the specific process, only that the father of Cheng's family seemed to be happier than the day before, until Cheng Shi told her that there was another Hu concubine in the family; Afterwards, Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help but sigh that Mrs. Xiao was busy with her husband working **** the family business before, and she had no time to care about Mrs. Cheng's mother. Once she was freed to clean up the housework, she could handle these ignorant women in minutes. Strength crushing.
Waking up early this morning, Alimie said to Cheng Shaoshang with a smile, "Today's lunch for the whole family", she suddenly smelled the smell of cleaning the battlefield.
After drinking the medicine and turning around the house three times, Mrs. Qing Li brought a new deep coat and a lacquered wooden box, a brocade woven with marigold plum branches on off-white brocade, The collar and cuffs are inlaid with four-finger-wide vermilion satin, and the middle coat is a brand new snow-white muslin. The dark clothes are wide, and Xu Lianfang and Alime work together to put on Cheng Shaoshang, the exquisite brocade is **** in circles, and then matched with a dark red belt with jade ornaments about the width of four fingers, even if there is no full-length mirror. , Cheng Shaoshang can also feel the beauty of the clothes.
Then Mrs. Qingli combed Cheng Shaoshang's hair by herself. Facing the blurred bronze mirror, Cheng Shaoshang vaguely saw that she had combed herself a pair of playful and lovely double buns, and the extra hair on the back was Simply bundled up, the lotus room opened the small lacquered wooden box, and Mrs. Green Green took out a pair of dazzling pearls, one of which was buckled on Cheng Shaoshang's double bat.
Alime looked at it and frowned slightly: "Qingjun, this—"
Mrs. Qing Li smiled and said, "I'm not afraid." She lowered her head and said to Cheng Shaoshang, "The lady has saved these good things for the fourth lady for a long time, and they can finally be used."
Because Cheng Shaoshang is still young, he only wears a pair of light golden lilacs on his ears, and a pair of thin gold bracelets with bright red coral beads on his wrists. If you watch it again and again, praise it together.
Walking on the veranda, Cheng Shaoshang was wrapped in a gray fur cloak, and looked around without a trace—it’s really a small courtyard, you can see the second door in front at a glance. She became more and more puzzled. Seeing that her clothes were so luxurious, why was the mansion so small? Could it be that the house prices here are also sky-high?
In less than fifty or sixty steps, they arrived at Cheng's mother's residence. The lotus room served Cheng Shaoshang, in addition to walking up the steps, and took off the heavy fur cloak, and the snow-white flannel socks stepped on it. On the dark red lacquered wood floor, her feet became more and more petite. When people eat meals, they are divided into meals. One person and one case are arranged in two rows in the hall. Cheng Shaoshang looked up and saw that everyone else had arrived, and she was the last one. She immediately screamed that it was not good.
Sure enough, the 'good aunt' who was sitting in the third position from the left, Ge Shi couldn't hold back, she only heard her scream: "Oh, the elders are here, the fourth lady is only waiting for you One. How did your aunt teach you in the past, you have to be filial and understand the etiquette, today…”
You didn't even open your mouth, what's the matter with you!"
Cheng's mother was from a farm family, and she spoke straight and straight. In the early years, when she was embarrassed by Mrs. Xiao, it was also like this in front of people to make people come down from the stage. Not very comfortable.
Alimie hurriedly helped Cheng Shaoshang to fall down, and bowed to the elders one by one. First, Cheng's mother, who was in the middle of the chief, then Uncle Dong, who was slightly on the side of his seat, and then the first on the right. With Cheng Shi and his wife in the first position on the left, and Dong's younger brother in the second position on the right, Cheng Shaoshang must be called the uncle, and then the second seat on the left is Dong Lu, who is not yet on the way. After Shaoshang saluted, Mrs Dong Lv stood up and left the seat with a smile, pulled Cheng Shaoshang up with a smile, and said, "The curls are so pretty, I don't even notice them on weekdays. It's a different person."
Cheng Shaoshang was dizzy and dizzy at the salute, but he didn't react, but everyone else knew what Dong Lu meant, Ge straightened up, and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean, say I stay here on weekdays Is the fourth lady okay?"
Dong Lvshi glanced at Mrs. Xiao, turned back and smiled: "Second sister-in-law thinks too much, I mean that the fourth lady reunites with her parents after a long absence, when this person is happy, the spirit will come, It's getting better."
Ge sat down angrily, but when Dong Lu returned to his seat, he said in a 'soft voice' that others could hear: "Poor child, it's obviously his grandfather who is out there taking his life. She has good clothes and good things, and every time I come, I see her but have to be picked out by others to wear."
As soon as these words came out, Ge Shi and a girl sitting at the end of the table both blushed, Cheng Shaoshang rubbed his forehead and immediately thought 'Ge Shi's goods must be stained by Father Cheng It's my own." Before she could think about it, Ah Li pressed her to give her second uncle Cheng Cheng and Ge Shi's salute in turn, and Ge Shi was so angry that he could not speak.
There are three seats at the end of the table, Cheng Shaoshang is in the center, the girl with the red face is on the right, and the fat boy is on the left. She was dressed in gold and silver. The girl's skin was light honey, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She looked listless and shrank, as if her life was worse than that of Cheng Shaoshang.
At this time, the maids swarmed into the house, serving dishes to each seat one by one, a small home-cooked feast, a scorched roast pork, a steamed chicken with winter bamboo shoots, a venison soup, and another There were two pickled vegetables and wine pulp on the adult's case. Cheng Shaoshang and the other three only had a pot of freshly beaten rice milk, which was hot and fragrant.
Uncle Dong held up a lacquered wooden double-eared bowl, and said to Cheng Shi: "This first wine, I will respect my nephew first, this time I can come back safely, it is all thanks to my nephew, I, I …”
Cheng Shaoshang took a peek and saw that Uncle Dong and Mother Cheng were very similar, both tall and fat, but it seemed that he had recently undergone a period of too urgent weight loss, and his cheeks were flabby He hung down; he was so afraid of Cheng Shi that he didn't dare to look directly at Cheng Shi, and he stammered.
Gerald's eyes flashed and he chuckled: "Why does my uncle seem to be frightened? My relatives, why are you so afraid?"
Mrs. Xiao glanced at her and said slowly: "The North Army Prison is too careless. A few were killed with a cane, and my uncle was probably frightened."
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Dong couldn't even hold the wine. The torture of the whipping came into view one by one, and Uncle Dong's legs were softened, and he almost couldn't get out.
Ge didn't know how to answer this, Dong Lu hurriedly said: "It's thanks to the general, otherwise Uncle Jun would have suffered so much." As he spoke, he glared at his own house opposite. Husband-in-law glanced at him, and Dong's younger brother hurriedly raised his dagger to thank him.
Dong's younger brother has a very famous name in the play, Dong Yong, also gave birth to a little white face that is common in the play, with flickering eyes, loose skin, and obviously excessive drinking; She secretly glanced at Mrs. Xiao.
Cheng Shaoshang was immediately amused, and thought Dong Yong thought that everyone else was blind, didn't he see that Cheng Shi's eyes protruded into flounder - for these two eyes, the next day Dong Yong was beaten up by unknown people on the way, and was bedridden for several months, and he never entered Cheng Cheng Mansion again.
After staring at Dong Yong, Cheng Shi also raised the wine cup, drank it all, and said, "Uncle should enjoy the good fortune. In the future, I will take good care of the fields and shops in my family, and I will just spend my days in peace."
Uncle Dong was in a hurry, and quickly said: "How can this happen, the so-called tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, the nephew's words will be seen outside, you are fighting hard outside, how can I enjoy Qingfu, why should I help..."
Cheng Shi was impatient to listen to his nonsense and went straight to see Mother Cheng. Apparently the communication between mother and son was very smooth these days. Mother Cheng took the meal case and said heavily: "Shut up! My son Why didn't you see you fighting the tiger brothers when the incident first started? Why didn't you see you fight as a father and son when my son was earning his life?
Uncle Dong looked at his old sister in amazement and said, "Elder sister, you, you..."
He glanced at Cheng Shi and his wife, and wanted to say 'Sister, how could you beat your bride without my help', but how could he say it in front of others, his eyes widened Turning around, he smiled and said, "Sister, you are a considerate younger brother, but your nephew and nephew's bride are busy all the time. Sister, you want to hear some interesting things every day. Who will tell you."
Mother Cheng said with an expressionless face: "I will be free in the future, and I will ask my niece to come in and talk, after all, your father and son are males, and it is inconvenient for the female relatives of this house to enter and exit, and I will be fine in the future. Don't come." He looked at Hu Li who was serving the chopsticks, and added, "If there is something at home, I will ask Mrs. Lu to tell me, in short, don't come here. Shi'er is going to be promoted to the official rank, and the family has to talk about it. The rules can't be the same as when they were in the countryside, the little uncle, the big brother and the big brother would just wander around the house for whatever happened."
Uncle Dong was speechless, glared at his daughter-in-law Lu, and scolded: "You bitch, what did you tell my sister!" Dong Yong also stood up and rolled up his sleeves To slap Mr. Lu, Cheng Shi, who was sitting on the side, didn't move, stretched out his arm and pulled down Dong Yong, and somehow turned and pressed Dong Yong's back arm on the ground, and then moved his other hand slightly, only Hearing a crisp sound, Dong Yong's face was immediately swollen like a pig's head.
Cheng Shi said coldly, "This is the Cheng family, it's not your turn to show off your power."
Cheng Shaoshang thought that this is really a mother and son.
The expressions of everyone at the table were different: Mother Cheng turned her head and pretended not to see and didn't care, Uncle Cheng lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but he really didn't see and didn't care, Uncle Dong was seen by Cheng Shi Shivering all over, Mrs. Dong Lu covered her face with her sleeves, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Mrs. Xiao was as if nothing had happened, only the two children of Mrs. Ge and Mo Xi were stunned.
Mrs. Xiao took a sip of wine, put it down gracefully, and said, "Uncle and brother are so powerful, I didn't know that I thought that the Cheng family was all up to you." Turning to Lu Shi Wen said gently, "Jun-gu is lonely on weekdays, you can walk around and talk with you."
Uncle Dong knew the plan of Cheng Shi and his wife, and immediately fell to the ground and cried: "Sister, you don't care about your brother, have you forgotten what you promised before your father passed away? You Are you worthy of your father?"
How to escape Mrs. Xiao's plan, Mother Cheng has been taught by Hu Yu long ago, she retorted: "I don't care about you, now you are wearing brocade fine cotton , I eat chicken, duck and fish, and there are slaves and servants calling in and out. How could my father have such a good life when he was here, but he is much more comfortable than before. How can I be sorry for my father?"
Uncle Dong stammered: "But sister, you have a silk and satin, and it's even more..."
One or two, you can live like this now.”
Uncle Dong burst into tears and said angrily: "Sis, you wear gold and silver, so my brother can only live a little better than the farmhouse?" Cheng Shaoshang was already listening In the back of Dale, I only blame your Dong family starting point is too low, there is too much room for improvement.
Mother Cheng slapped the wooden chopstick and stared, "Why don't I move half of the Cheng family's warehouse to you?" There was a turning point, but unfortunately Uncle Dong used the wrong method. Cheng's mother scolded, "Over the years, you have eaten the Cheng family's family, and now you still want to show prestige with the Cheng family?! You figure it out, you are the son of the Dong family, and I am the wife of the Cheng family. Although I am a sibling, my ancestors It's not the same anymore. I can't take all the Cheng family to subsidize you." Cheng's mother said it bluntly and rudely, but the effect was very good, and Uncle Dong was a little stunned.
Cheng Shi was very satisfied with his mother's performance, and smiled at Cheng's mother with a beard on his face, Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help shivering, but Cheng's mother used it very much and became more and more happy.
Uncle Dong was stunned, he quickly organized the language, and said in a low voice: "A sister said this, I would dare to show prestige in front of my nephew. But now my nephew is more and more promising, I, I...", said Weeping, "I just want to get some light, who told my brother that I'm useless, if I don't succeed in writing, I won't be able to do it, I really don't have the face to see my grandfather in the future..." At this point, tears fell directly.
I don't know what's going on." Cheng Shi hurriedly said, "That's right, when it's time to study, you should study and find a job, don't study like their fathers and grandfathers, you only know how to do leisure and work, cheating and cheating!"
Dong Lu's spirit was shocked, she had a husband, it is better to have no husband, and now she is devoted to a few children. from.
Cheng mother was reminded, and immediately said to her younger brother, "Don't cry, you all know the age of destiny, most of your life is not a weapon, is it possible that you can suddenly change when you get old? Yong Nephew is also , I won’t wait until today if I’m really brave. Since I’m not promising, I’ll live an honest life with no prospects. Don’t think about taking advantage of it all day long, bullying others in the name of your nephew, and causing trouble for the Cheng family. Hurry up and teach the children what matters, so that you can be worthy of your father!"
Uncle Dong didn't know what to say at this time.
Seeing his younger brother's lips moving, as if he was not convinced, Cheng's mother hurriedly said: "Don't bully me with rhetoric. The former court...what the queen...isn't it just always thinking about making up for it? What about her mother's family? It turned out to be pasted and posted, and the entire family of her husband's family was posted to her mother's nephew. This is why the world is in chaos, and how many people have been destroyed! Only at the end will I know the remorse, it's too late, I see how shameful she is to go to the ground!"
Cheng Shaoshang was surprised: Karma, there is such a wonderful queen mother, why haven't I heard of it? Only then did I remember that I was a science and engineering student who couldn't be purer, and it seemed that I hadn't taken a history class in several lifetimes.
The famous empress dowager in history only knows Cixi and Wu Zetian, plus half of Xiaozhuang. Xiaozhuang couldn't give it even if she wanted to, because her grandson was an idiot; if Cixi gave the country to her mother's family, what would the foreign powers do? Could it be that they were talking about Wu Zetian? Cheng Shaoshang looked down at his chest in doubt, then why is the collar so high, the chest is not exposed at all, and the clothes of the Tang Dynasty are so conservative? Even if she has a flat chest, Mrs. Xiao is turbulent, so she doesn't show a little bit.
Compared with this unfortunate queen mother, Cheng mother felt that she was too measured, and said very proudly: "And the mother-in-law of the third bedroom of Donglu's family, who also subsidizes her mother's family all day long, then Mr. Wang, who lived in Donglu's house at the time, said that he was going to study with Yan Shenxian and could only bring one disciple, but she secretly let her mother's nephew go there, huh, can't the big Donglu family find a clever child. She Her two sons were quite able to read, but later on, her parents’ family was a scholar and an official, so the Donglu family would try to curry favor. Hmph, women all over the world should know about it!”
Speaking, Mother Cheng also glanced at Mrs. Xiao deliberately, but Mrs. Xiao looked calm, Cheng Shi embarrassed: "Mum, what are you talking about." In the previous story, Mrs. Xiao called him It was told to Cheng's mother, and the latter one was played by Cheng's mother herself. "If the nephews are really promising, I will help. Besides, is the Donglu family bad now?"
Mother Cheng glared and said, "That's the official rank that they risked their children's and grandchildren's lives to fight under your command! How can you be an official sitting comfortably in the bookstore? !"
Cheng Shaoshang listened with relish, if not for fear of being scolded, she really wanted to ask 'what happened to that daughter-in-law who ate inside and out'.
, you still want to implicate him further. Come to make money and enjoy happiness, and fight for my son to suffer, how can there be such a good thing! You are the ancestor of the Cheng family, and you have to provide for you!"
Speaking of this, Dong's father and son have nothing to say, the whole room is silent, only Dong Yong covered his face and whimpered softly. Cheng Shi was very satisfied, and turned his head to the Dong family and his son and said fiercely: "If you tell me that there is a damage to the Lu family, I will make it for your father as it is!"
Cheng Shi has been fighting the sea of blood for many years. This ruthless momentum is not trivial. The father and son of the Dong family are soft-footed shrimp. Cheng Shaoshang shouted "bravo" in his heart. This idea is too genius.
Cheng Shi glared at Dong's father and son, and said solemnly: "Do you understand?" Dong Yong was so close that he was afraid of being beaten again, so he nodded hurriedly, and Uncle Dong nodded quickly.
Everyone also picked up the chopsticks to eat, and only Ge Shi was restless in the whole table. After Aunt Dong was expelled a few days ago, she faintly felt that everything was not right. Mother Cheng seemed to have reached an understanding with Mrs. Xiao. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not angry when they met in the past few days. It's boring, no one cares.
She looked at her husband on the opposite side, and at her mother Cheng, who had just had a stormy quarrel, she couldn't even get in, not to mention the Dong family, the slap in the face a few days ago Still aching.
Forbearance and forbearance, seeing the atmosphere eased, Ge Shi still couldn't help it, forced a smile: "Jungu..."
Cheng Shaoshang was as happy as a happy little mouse: here I come, here I am.
Who knew that before she could go on, Cheng Shi said: "Today's banquet, one is to shock my uncle, and the other is that I have a happy event to say."
Cheng Shaoshang was interrupted to watch a good show, she thought angrily, what a happy event, do you want to beg a concubine?
