Chapter 6：

Mrs. Xiao forced her sister-in-law to retreat with a word, then quietly stood aside and said no more. On the contrary, Mrs. Dong Lu, the bride who had been supporting Aunt Dong who was crying, quickly raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Xiao; who knew that Mrs. Xiao seemed to have an eye on the side of her cheek, she turned her head to meet hers, and gave her a deep look, as if meaningful.

Dong Lu was terrified, and hurriedly lowered his head.

In the other side, Cheng Shi knelt down and explained to Cheng's mother: "...I told my mother in the letter before that my uncle's hands and feet were not clean once or twice. In front of me, I can make up for what I can make up, and I can hide what I can hide. But in the battle of Yiyang half a year ago, General Wan was recovering from his wounds. I was transferred to General Han to lead the troops, and I could not lead my uncle. Go to General Han to take charge of the ordnance. Before I leave, I will say something, who would have thought that my uncle couldn't bear it for a few months, and he was caught! What should my mother tell me to do?! Do you want me to let go of such a great opportunity? Don't go for wealth and fame, just to watch the uncle alone?!"

Cheng's mother was at a loss for words. She knew that her younger brother was stealing, but she kept her eyes open and closed because of her son's cover. Now that she was asked about it, she choked for a long time before saying: "Then what about your uncle now? Do you want him to die? His house was raided?" Aunt Dong cried even louder when she heard the word 'scandal', and two thick yellow streaks dragged out from her nose, making Yu Cailing disgusted.

Cheng Shi was very embarrassed: "It's not unwilling, it's impossible."

, smashed the furnishings in the house into a mess. Then he grabbed Cheng Shi's front like iron pliers, crying and scolding with foam flying: "You black-hearted Shuzi! You just watch your uncle die like this... I, I am I'll sue you for disobedience..."

Cheng Shi tried hard to pull his collar, and said angrily: "Mum goes to sue, which is more important than family affairs, uncle has already sued for the crime of theft, because I don't want to listen to Mum Ordered to get rid of the crime, this kind of 'unfilial behavior' is not afraid of going to the emperor."

How can a village woman know this much, she only knows that 'disobedient' is 'unfilial', and 'unfilial' can be sued, and it is accurate; now it sounds more than 'filial' Even bigger is the country. She had no choice but to cry and fall on the couch at the same time, rolling around like wild boar.

Yu Cailing watched it with relish, she felt the soup in the bowl and the medicine was getting cold, she hurriedly took a sip, and watched it, but she didn't feel that the medicine was hard to eat - who knows, but she asked Mrs. Xiao to stare blankly, Qing Li kept paying attention to Mrs. Xiao, and following her gaze, she happened to see Yu Cailing's actions, and she didn't know how to feel her emotions.

Mrs. Xiao said in a deep voice, "Alime, wrap the curls tightly and take them to my room to rest." The drama of the fight between the grandmother and the father is not easy for the juniors to keep watching.

Yu Cailing was disappointed, but she didn't dare to resist. Ah Li quickly dressed her in a robe and wrapped a big cloak, and the lotus house Qiaoguo also picked up the hidden capsule cushion and a few boxes of snacks. , the three of them quickly exited this room with Yu Cailing in their arms, bypassed the ten-step long veranda, and dodged into another room.

How is the battle over there. It's a pity that she never met the live broadcast like today.

For the next few days, Yu Cailing continued to eat, drink, drink, sleep, and walk around the house three times. Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao seemed to be very busy. , Only Mrs. Qing Li came to Yu Cailing's house every day to sit and talk, asking how her body was recovering.

Mrs. Qing Li’s appearance is just ordinary, her brows and eyes are clean and soft, and there are smile lines on both sides of her mouth. Yu Cailing originally thought that she was here to make rules for herself, but who knew that Mrs. Li was just laughing at Yanyan's family, sometimes bringing some delicious snacks that Yu Cailing had never seen before, and sometimes a few small jade and gold hairpins or earrings. After a few days, Yu Cailing gradually took precautions.

"The madam and the adults brought a lot of things for the little girl, they are all trapped in the back car, and they have never even taken it apart. These days are a lot of trivial things, and we will open the box when we get settled back. ." Madam Qing Li smiled, folded her hands in front of her knees, and sat respectfully.

Yu Cailing nodded: "Well, it's almost the Spring Festival, my father and mother must be busy."

Mrs. Qing Li’s eyes flickered, and she couldn’t deny it.

Because of the daily chat, Yu Cailing realized that her real name was 'Cheng Shaoshang', and she had a twin brother named 'Cheng Shao Gong'. I can't afford it, and it looks like a gossamer. When I heard that Mrs. Xiao gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix, I was overjoyed. Although it was later hung up, it was a great blessing for Cheng Shi, who was at a critical juncture in the battle for the past six months.

, King Wen added Erxian, it is for Shao Gong, Shao Shang, and it is named after this."

No surprise, except for Uncle Cheng who was studying at that time, only Mrs. Xiao in the whole family knew what Cheng Taigong was talking about; therefore, the name 'Cheng Ling' originally intended for the newborn girl became a nickname.

"When will the brothers go home?" Cheng Shaoshang accepted the new name with a smile, and without any pity he abandoned the name given by Yu's father.

Cheng Shaoshang laughed when he heard the word 'miscellaneous' and understood; at the same time, it was a little strange, why people in Cheng Shi's room like to call themselves 'little girl', obviously he is this The only daughter in the first room, but if the Cheng family's three rooms are added up, then the third aunt will have a younger girl.

…

Cheng Shaoshang's body is getting better, but the boring life is about to fade away. She can't help but ask "how is the Dong family going" every day with a hopeful tone.

Alime didn't hide Shaoshang, but she really has no talent for gossip, and the answer is only "adult refuse" and "adult or not", and occasionally perform beyond the level For a second, it's just "the adults will not agree anyway".

Different from the loyal and taciturn Alime, the lotus house who serves beside her is quite caring. She is the daughter of Cheng Shi's family. Light was unwillingly trapped in the house, and there was a care in his heart. For the next few days, Lianfang told Cheng Shaoshang from time to time some 'good drama' that he heard from outside.

Qiaoguo was puzzled when she saw it, and asked in private: "Mrs. Qingli taught us to talk less, listen more, and do more, sister, you always tell your wife what's going on outside, how can you make it happen? ah?"

Lian Fang smiled and said: "The lady and the mistress haven't seen each other for ten years, how can they get close to us; the two of us will definitely follow the lady in the future. It's not a waste of Mrs. Qing Li's teaching. Besides, the things I said were originally known to the whole family, and it's just to teach the lady to relieve the boredom, what's the point."

Qiaoguo listened and thanked the lotus house for her guidance.

A few days later, Alime discovered Lianfang Chuanzui and wanted to reprimand it, but Lianfang smiled and defended: "Talking about words is to make up the shadowless things and distort them. In order to invite the favor of the Lord's family, what Ke Nu said is not the slightest false."

Seeing that Ah Li was still dissatisfied, she continued: "Mrs. Qing Li often praises our female gentleman for being sensible and not inferior to men, saying that the female gentleman has been helping with housework since the age of six or seven, do we want to Cover the little girl in the cage for the rest of her life, and don’t let her know about the wind and rain outside? If I say something wrong, you can just beat and scold me. Whether it’s good or bad, let the girl know more so that she can learn to tell the difference, right?”

Alime looked at the lotus room for a while, and said to herself: This is a good statement, but this maid is not stable enough.

But she also wanted to let the little girl know about the grievances of the elders, so that she would not be estranged from her parents because of her ten years of parenting; after that, she stopped talking and only paid attention.

Lianfang's eloquence is very different from that of Ah Li, and when he talks about the rumors, Cheng Shaoshang feels that life has some taste.

It turned out that after the mother and son of the Cheng family broke up unhappily, the mother Cheng scolded and said that she would pay for Uncle Dong to do it herself, but unfortunately the money box was half empty. Uncle Dong, who was in the prison car, was escorted to the place, and the sister and brother cried together. According to the servants who went along with him, Uncle Dong was too haggard and embarrassed.

Mother Cheng fought with her son a few more times, but after it was still useless, she resorted to the ultimate trick of 'hunger hunger'. It is said that several queen mothers in the previous dynasty often used this trick to deal with the emperor's son. It's a pity that Cheng's mother was already hungry when she was living a hard life. She has been unhappy with meat all these years, and she couldn't stand it after only two meals. According to the servants in the kitchen, Mother Cheng ate a smoked chicken, half a roast goose, two sauce-stained hoofs and three bowls of wheat rice for the first meal after she resumed eating. She also found a medical worker for digestion. Prescribe medicine.

Cheng's mother is tossing here, but the Dong family's situation is even worse, Dong's brother is also detained, and the Dong family's farmhouse and shop outside have been sealed up. On the other hand, Dong Lv's performance was excellent. In order to show that she could not call Cheng's mother 'fighting alone', she sold the twenty or so maids and concubines in Dong's brother's house and collected a large sum of money for Cheng's mother's 'turnover'. Immediately, I felt that this was really a good nephew who had been repaired for centuries.

The latest news is that these days, Aunt Dong comes to cry every day for a while. On this schedule, my mother drank two glasses of wine after dinner. Going to coerce his son, saying that if his son refuses to save him, he will die for him, and then go to sue him—Cheng Shaoshang deeply felt that there was a problem with this order.

Cheng Shi was so disturbed that he said casually: It's not that there is no way to save Uncle Dong, or that the son has committed the crime, saying that Uncle Dong's theft was all at the order of the son. Then I went to behead and exchanged it for Uncle Dong. Our house was raided and exchanged for Dong's house. What do you think, Mom?

Cheng's mother immediately became dumb. Although she loved her younger brother, she never thought of exchanging her son for her younger brother; who knew that Aunt Dong, who was beside her, was inspired and blurted out, "My nephew is a high-ranking official. Even if you commit a crime, you won't be fine. At most, you'll be fined. Why don't you ask your nephew to confess the crime? ! ' As soon as the words were said, the Cheng family's mother and son were all pale with anger.

Cheng Shi immediately became furious, and regardless of whether anyone heard it or not, he shouted at Cheng's mother who was standing in the hall: "Come! The military prison came out and sued! From now on, my mother will live with the second brother and the third brother!"

Many people heard this meal inside and out, and the servants and stewards all said that the old lady was crazy. Only Mrs. Xiao hid in the room and smiled slightly, scolding without good words. Once the dispute begins, no matter how good the relationship will be hurt.

Even after hearing that Cheng Shi instructed the slaves to stop Aunt Dong from stepping into Cheng's house for half a step, and whoever let someone in would break whose leg, Mother Cheng didn't dare to say anything. Things froze like this until Dong Lu came to apologize on the third day.

According to Mrs. Qing Li's statement (Lian Fang Biography), the father and son of the Dong family, the old loves money, the young loves sex, and Aunt Dong is a fool again. Dong Lu is the only one in the Dong family who understands people; however, this understanding is also in exchange for a lot of hardships.

The Dong and Lu families were originally well-off farm families. The fathers of the two families made a marriage contract for their grandchildren early. Who knew that Dong Taigong died early, and the world was in chaos, and then the family business became worse day by day. , while the Lu family was still able to maintain. In order to keep his word, Taigong Lu married his little granddaughter into the Dong family, who could not even get enough to eat. In the first few years, Uncle Dong and auntie were not bad for this bride. Who knew that Comrade Cheng Shi was too powerful, and he gained momentum within a few years. Looking at the brides married by the brothers of the Cheng family, they were either rich or expensive. I feel that my daughter-in-law's eyes are not eyes and noses are not noses. If Dong Lu had not given birth to several children and was good at flattering, he would have been divorced long ago.

I don't know what Dong Lv's and Cheng mother said. Madam went over, expressing her condescension.

Madam Li smiled and said, "It's a little earlier than Madam expected. It seems that Mrs Lu is very eloquent."

Mrs. Xiao smiled without saying a word, got up and was about to go out, Cheng Shilin did not forget to ask her daughter when she went out, saying: "Curly, you eat first, and use more meat!"

Cheng Shaoshang paused when he got up and raised his arms before he said, "Here. I send my father and mother off, and my father and mother will come back sooner."

Cheng Shaoshang then knelt down and sat down for a while, bowing his head to eat, A Li beside him was a little strange, Mrs. Qing Li looked at it and said with a smile: "Young lady, don't be unhappy, Mrs. and adults will come often in the future. To accompany you for dinner, I have something to do today."

Cheng Shaoshang replied in a low voice.

Unfortunately, even Mrs. Qing Li, who has seven orifices, guessed wrong. Cheng Shaoshang wasn't thinking about this—she didn't like others calling her 'Yuyou', because she herself had a nickname. 'Lingnan', although the person who called it has passed away.

…

Every time she walks into her mother's room, Mrs. Xiao is dazzled. Mother Cheng's requirements for the house are very simple, rich, rich, and rich, from the floor table to the bed and seating, all the ones that can be inlaid with gold All the places are inlaid with gold silk and silk.

At first, Mother Cheng was a little embarrassed to speak, but the more she spoke, the more she spoke. She took Cheng Shi's hand, with snot and tears, and said: "...Your brother-in-law said well, who can you rely on when you are old, and it's not your son. Only then can I live a good life of eating meat and drinking, how can I take your life and death more seriously than others..."

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao glanced at each other, but said nothing.

Cheng's mother continued to cry: "Your grandfather asked me to take care of the house before he died, but I didn't take care of it. Your other uncles died and scattered, and there was only one left. I feel sorry for my parents who have passed away, that's why I thought about subsidizing the Dong family more, if you are not happy in the future, I will never be too busy, okay?"

Mrs. Xiao admired Mrs Lu in her heart, and it took most of the day to turn Mother Cheng's story away. She glanced at her husband, Cheng Shi understood, and said, "Mum, what else did the Lu family's younger brother and wife say?"

Mother Cheng kept in mind Dong Lu's words, showing weakness, she must show weakness, so she said: "She said, as long as you are promoted and made meritorious deeds, the Dong family will naturally be honored, and ask your uncle to go to the army. It's digging your corners and dragging you down." Speaking of this, her tone changed, and she gritted her teeth, "It turns out that the Dong family has not saved much money over the years, so it's not that you asked your brother to take it to find the woman. Playing around, it was taken by your vicious and heartless aunt to help her family!"

Although Cheng's mother likes to stick to her parents' home, she hates others to stick to her parents' home. She scolded Mrs. Xiao for sticking to her parents' home for several years, and now she knows that she has a lot of money to subsidize her younger brother. When she returned to her parents' house, she was naturally furious; she figured out that someday she would be able to work hard, so she went to the door and grabbed Aunt Dong's hair to give her a good blow.

"Son," Mother Cheng slapped Cheng Shi's arm, "just save your uncle once, they also have fields and houses, they won't freeze if they're hungry, they won't freeze if they're hungry. I will never come to trouble you again!" He turned to Madam Xiao again and said, "You will be in charge of everything in the family in the future. I'm old, and I'll just enjoy the happiness."

Mrs. Xiao's eyes were like a deep pool, and the ripples were still.

Originally, Mother Cheng was wiping her tears and secretly rolling her eyes, but before Mrs. Xiao finished her words, she jumped three feet high and said violently, "Wow, your uncle is really the two of you. A heartless framer, just to pinch me, I am your mother, your mother, how dare you do this, I want, I want..."

"What will Jun-gu do to me?" Mrs. Xiao interrupted coldly, "What can Jun-gu do to me?"

Mother Cheng was speechless for a while, Cheng Shi did not move, and the room was silent.

Mrs. Xiao slowly got up, closed the door curtains, and turned around and said, "Just leave me. I think Jun-gu also heard some wind, these years in the city, in the battle formation Yu, I also have a little bit of credit, not to mention if you can force the adults to leave me, so what if I leave? I'm still alive—"

She smiled slightly, with a peculiar sneering arc at the corner of her mouth, and said word by word: "I am still alive, others may not be sure."

Mother Cheng stayed still as if a basin of ice water had been thrown.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her quietly for a while, and said, "Mr. Lu said so much, why didn't he say this?"

Cheng's mother gradually began to tremble. The son used his younger brother to hold him. It was not that he had never thought of using the bride to hold his son, but what Dong Lu said was vivid in my ears—

I heard from outside that Sister-in-law Xiao was treating the wounded and sick in front of the battle, soothing the people in the war, and many people praised it, the court gave commendations, and it was you who forced the general If you divorce her, so what? She can still starve to death, freeze to death, and be ashamed, but it's just to make people say that you are confused and vicious. The general's anger has not been sent to the Dong family, how can your brother and nephew still survive! When the general welcomes her back a hundred years later, she will still enjoy the blessings of many children and grandchildren, but what about the Dong family...

I?"

Cheng Shi said solemnly, "I know that my mother always thinks that I am towards Yuan Yi, but my mother thinks, is it possible that I am like this when I am married? For more than ten years, Yuan Yi's Everything you do, mother, everything you do, you can see everything in your eyes." He turned his head to look at his wife, then turned to Mother Cheng and said, "—Yuanyi means what I mean. Continue to appease, grandma, you should rest too, you shouldn't take care of it, you don't need to take care of it in the future."

Cheng mother sat on the ground, completely weak, unable to speak or scold. Cheng Shi felt pity in his heart, looked up at Mrs. Xiao, saw Mrs. Xiao nodded slightly, and Cheng Shi said, "Go back to the house first, and ask someone to close the door tightly."

Mrs. Xiao looked at Cheng Shi with a slight smile and said, "Here."
