Foster son and husband

Chapter 172 Hate
Baoju and Baizhan thought together on the road, and felt that it was time to go to Ji Qing, and that they had no choice but to ask the emperor to return the grandma.So the leader of Bai Zhan followed Mei Niang's convoy, while Bao Ju took advantage of the turning, turned into another street and galloped towards the palace.

From time to time along the way, people rode out from various streets, caught up with the team, and went to King Qi to report to him. They were people from King Qi's mansion and Ji Qing's subordinates. The people from King Qi's mansion were driven out by the Queen Mother to find King Qi Of course, Ji Qing's subordinates were ordered by the emperor to convey the emperor's oral order to summon King Qi into the palace.No matter who it is, King Qi just listened without answering, waved away the people who came, and continued to move forward, sent Meiniang to Cen's house, watched the carriage she was riding in through the side door, closed the small copper door, and moved on. The guards of the Xu Mansion stopped outside, and then he smiled, and led his entourage to the palace unhurriedly.

The Xu Junya brothers stood guard at the gate of Cen's house for a long time, and the servant who guarded the gate only pretended to say:
"Men, please go back, our master has rested!"

He closed the door tightly, and there was no more sound.

The brothers of the Xu family have to go to the yamen to do business tomorrow, and they can't always stay at the gate without resting, so they have no choice but to go back to the mansion to rest first, before leaving, ask Bai Zhan and others to take turns to guard, and must protect Grandma and Brother Heng carefully.

Bai Zhan agreed one by one, seeing that it was late at night, he had to send someone to escort the masters back to Xu's residence.

After the Xu family brothers went out, Bai Jingyu saw that Ning Rulan was vomiting badly, so he sent her back to the courtyard to rest, and told the maids to take care of her until the third master came back.I hurried back to Huifang Garden, just now I ran away halfway through dinner with my daughter Xu Meilian. The matter was urgent. Wudi cough, she should pay more attention to her daughter, and then go to Jinhuatang.

When Bai Jingyu came to Jinhuatang, he saw that Mrs. Fang was serving the old lady to eat, and the second master and second wife were sitting and eating together. The second wife gave Bai Jingyu a cold look. The grandson's daughter-in-law didn't come to serve for no reason, but the concubine's grandson-in-law took the stage.

The second wife and the first wife are very similar in this point: the concubine will never be allowed to come to the front.When the second master is at home, the concubines can come in to say hello, but the second master is not at home, even if it is windy and rainy, they can only stand in the courtyard to ask, and then let the mother-in-law send a message to send them away.

The old lady loves the second master, and the second master trusts Aunt Yan who dotes on Aunt Yan who was brought up by the girl from the house. This kind of benefit is many times more, Xu Junya, the second son of the second wife, is almost inferior to him.

The second wife is very dissatisfied with Bai Jingyu and Ning Rulan. She told them when she first got married, she wants the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be single-minded, to exclude the concubine son, let them help the husband, and do their filial piety in front of the old lady and the master, and try not to show it to the concubine son However, the two daughter-in-laws are lucky, they can't do half of what she asked for!After Rulan got pregnant, she didn't need the old lady to dislike Qin Meiniang like she did to Qin Meiniang, so she retired first and never went to Jinhua Hall again. Mrs. Fang took advantage of this opportunity to help serve the old lady. Tonight, Jingyu simply did not come and asked Mrs. Fang to stand behind the old lady to serve her. She was so angry that her heart ached, but the old lady was confused and kept praising Fang as much better than Qin, and Fang was a reckless person. After this praise, only the old lady and the second master had eyes for her. The wife stood aside, seeing Ruixue standing aside serving, she didn't even come over to ask, if the second master wasn't there, the second wife would have to drive Fang out.

Bai Jingyu saluted and greeted the elders, the girl brought hot water to wash her hands, approached the table to serve the soup, stood next to the old lady calmly, and replaced Fang, the second wife snorted softly, and then came out He took a breath, and the chicken soup in his mouth tasted sweet.

But Bai Jingyu said to Fang Shi: "I changed the soup for the master, now I will peel a shrimp for the old lady, you go and add hot chicken soup for the wife, the bowl is cold and not good, change it!"

Fang came over obediently and began to change the dishes in front of the second wife, the second wife shouted softly: "Don't move, let the second wife do it!"

Fang's froze, Bai Jingyu looked at the second master, and said softly to the second wife: "My daughter-in-law can't help herself now, mother let the fifth sibling take care of her first, the fifth sibling can do a good job!"

The second master glared at the second wife: "Who is different? The daughters-in-law are all equally filial. Don't be in the midst of blessings and not know your blessings!"

The second wife is angry. Compared with letting Fang Shi serve her, the second master's preference for the fifth child is even more unbearable to her. She is a dignified and dignified family, and she will not be able to suppress Aunt Yan in her life. The second master's housemate when she was young.

Bai Jingyu's purpose is not in this, she wants the second wife to taste it: don't you always help the eldest son Xu Junlang protect the concubine and suppress the eldest daughter-in-law?Then let the concubine's daughter-in-law born to a concubine serve you, why should I serve you with all my heart when I am looked down upon by you?
The old lady drank another half bowl of soup and ate two boiled prawns. She didn't have any appetite for more food, so she turned to ask Ruixue, "Lan'er hasn't woken up yet?"

Ruixue said: "Just now the old lady went in and talked with Miss Lan, she cried loudly for a while, and then she got up and drank half a bowl of tea, but she didn't eat anything!"

The old lady sighed: "It would be great if Junying was at home..."

The second master said: "Mother, don't think too much, what can Junying do at home? This is a holy will, how can he change it?"

Bai Jingyu paused for a while while peeling the shrimp: "Of course it's better if the eldest brother is at home, and the sister-in-law can't run out overnight."

When she went to the gate to chase Mei Niang, someone had already sent people to Jinhua Hall to report. The old lady, the second master, and the second wife were together at that time, but she didn't see any movement from them. No one was sent to stop Meiniang from leaving, seeing how calm and calm they are now, as if nothing happened, I really don't understand how they will respond when the elder brother returns home one day and asks.
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Jingyu couldn't help but said to the old lady: "My sister-in-law took Heng'er and went to live in Cen's house in Dongcheng. I heard that the house was the private house of my sister-in-law's natal grandmother, and now it is given to my sister-in-law...Bao Ju and Bai Zhan Follow it!"

The second master was stunned for a moment: "Baoju and Baizhan? They didn't follow Junying? Did you say where Junying went?"

Bai Jingyu said: "Daughter-in-law didn't see Baoju and Baizhan, it was the housekeeper in the front yard who said that. The housekeeper also said that the uncle went out to run some errands, leaving Baoju and Baizhan to protect sister-in-law and Heng'er!"

The second master's face changed slightly, Bao Ju and Bai Zhan had followed Junying since childhood, like his shadow, where would Junying go without taking these two boys with him?This time when he went out to run some errands, he left two personal followers with Meiniang, which shows how much he attaches importance to his wife and children!

The old lady kept talking about asking the Queen Mother to give her a marriage, and to give Zhuang Yulan to Junying as his second wife. He never cared about this matter. It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The outside room is hidden from people because the other party is a widow in her twenties, young and handsome, passionate and romantic. She was originally a distant cousin of a colleague. She saw it while drinking at the colleague's house, and accepted the colleague's kindness on the same day and carried it out I bought a house outside the city to resettle in. I was afraid that the old lady would think she was a widow and would not let me in, so I lived like this for the time being.A few days ago, the outhouse diagnosed a happy pulse. Before he had time to be happy, she slipped in the yard and almost lost the fetus. She was in a hurry to have a baby and take care of her. Speaking of the emperor's disallowing Junying to marry a common wife, now that the emperor and the empress dowager are both imperial decrees and decrees for Junying, he was terrified to hear that, and he was really afraid that one day he would be involved too, but fortunately, it has passed.Earlier, Bai Jingyu sent someone to report that the eldest grandma was going to take her son and run away from home. He was still a little angry, and wanted to go and talk to Mei Niang: What's the trouble?It's lucky not to be abandoned, so just wait for Junying to come back and take care of her husband and raise her children.Seeing the old lady's face sullen and silent, he knew that the old lady's dislike for Mei Niang had deepened, so he just sat still, forget it, the grandparents and grandchildren were fighting each other, he mixed in blindly, and it was not pleasing to the left and right. .There are women and servants, and it is impossible for Meiniang to run back to her mother's house. Women, if they are angry, they will make a fuss, and it will be over when it is over. She does not dare to go too far.

But I didn't expect Mei Niang to really dare to run, and she didn't go back to her mother's house, she went to live in some private house, Junying was not at home, she was a woman, she left without the consent of her elders, how could it be proper?
When Junying came back, he had a reason to ask the elders at home: If he didn't take good care of his wife and children and let her run around at will, what should I do if something happened outside?
Thinking of this, the second master couldn't sit still: "Those women should be beaten! What about the gatekeepers in the front yard? What do they eat? I can't stop a weak woman. Wait for me to go and see, one or two are dead. Use it, send it away!"

Seeing him standing up, the old lady asked, "Where are you going?"

The second master said: "Meiniang just hugged Heng'er and left home. It's not good. My son brought Junya and the others to bring her back!"

He looked at the second wife: "The eldest wife is sick, you go with me!"

The second wife curled her lips, and the old lady snorted: "What are you picking up? No one flattered her! What is such a woman with no respect for her elders, a vicious tongue, and no sense of etiquette going to come here? Let her go, leave for the last time." Well, don’t come back, otherwise you will be banned! The emperor is looking at Junying’s face, allowing her to enter the palace to accompany the phoenix, but she is so arrogant, as if the heavenly family begged her, something unvirtuous and unfilial, etc. When Junying comes back, he has to tell him that if she is locked up, if she doesn’t let go, she will be kept as a cat and dog! Otherwise, if she is left in such a crazy state, it will definitely cause trouble for Junying in the future!”

Hearing this, Bai Jingyu looked at the old lady's cold face, as if she had returned to two years ago, when Meiniang first married into the Hou's mansion, the old lady also looked like this, and said coldly:

"She is not allowed to serve tea, and she is not allowed to worship ancestors. I don't recognize this granddaughter-in-law. Let's see who dares to give her good face!"

At that time Zhuang Yulan was lying dying in the back hall, Bai Jingyu didn't think the old lady was scary, but now, the same face and tone made her feel tight and her chest felt tight and uncomfortable.
