Chapter 003 Blast the pot!

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the yard of the old lady of the Zhang family was crowded with people early in the morning.

The old lady of the Zhang family is Zhang Rong's inner room, over 70 years old. Zhang Rong is an official in Beijing, and the old lady is the head of the family in Yangzhou. Zhang Rong gave birth to three sons, namely Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei.

The third son, Chengdong, was in charge of most of the family's business. The second son, Chengxi, followed his father to serve and donated the fame of an Imperial College student, but in charge of the business of the Zhang family in the north. Only Chengbei, the third son, was determined to take the imperial examination path, but only the scholar was fame and fame, and he still did not give up after the three provincial examinations and was still studying hard. Zhang Rong had high expectations for him.

Zhang Rong's next generation does not have good reading seedlings, so he hopes for the third generation.

Among the three generations of the Zhang family, Zhang Chengdong, the eldest wife, gave birth to two sons, Zhang Qiang and Zhang Jing, both of whom were slutty boys. They were good at fighting cocks, but they did not know how to study and composition. In the fifteenth year of Xinde, Zhang Qiang went to Yuan Ye and had a group of friends to spend the whole life on the West Lake, and after being too conquered, he actually couldn't breathe a sigh of relief on the bed of a courtesan of Yihongyuan. He died and made a huge joke.

Zhang Qiang is gone, but Zhang Jing has turned his back to the right, but he is old and has lost his skills. How can he have the hope of studying?

Therefore, the third generation of the Zhang family hopes that they all belong to Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei's sons. Hao Ge'er, who was sick yesterday, was Zhang Chengxi's son Zhang Haoran. He was only sixteen years old and had a reputation for being a child. He was good at writing and poetry, and was also a handsome talent. The old lady loved him the most.

Zhang Haoran's residence is located in the old lady's yard, with ten big girls, four mothers and two nurses serving him. Everyone in the Zhang family knows that Zhang Haoran is the old lady's heart. If Brother Hao is dizzy, the whole Zhang family will rarely be at peace.

Ying'er got up early this morning and was serving the old lady to dress up. Qingyao, the girl next to Brother Hao, came to report that Brother's fever had faded and his illness had improved. He was clamoring to go to school.

Ying'er immediately reported to the old lady. The old man was in a good mood and said, "I'll know that my brother's illness must be cured by this weather today! I've just recovered from the serious illness and I'm spared it when I go to school. I'm a stubborn person. You go and ask Baoyi and Xijun to come over. There are a few sisters accompanying him. If you don't go to school, you won't be bored."

Ying'er said, "Madam, grandmas and girls have come here a long time ago. They are all waiting in the yard, just waiting for you to pass by, old lady!"

When Zhang's mother heard that everyone was coming, she was even more happy. After leaving the yard, Zhang Chengdong and other wives, the three generations of the Zhang family, as well as Zhang Baoyi, the three-person girl of the Zhang family, and Zhang Xijun and others came to pay their respects.

Zhang's mother said, "Okay, okay, we won't set rules today. Brother Hao'er has recovered from serious illness. This is a kindness from God. Sister Hua, you go to Qingxu Temple to add another twenty taels of incense and silver. Baoyi, Xijun will be with me more today. Don't let him be bored or let him be tired.

To be honest, I always feel a little ups and downs. The day before yesterday, Daopa Liu came to do a fortune telling and said that our mansion had not yet been resolved and that Brother Hao'er's illness was cured, but where did this wave start again!"

As soon as Zhang's mother said this, the audience was silent. A bunch of wives and grandma girls dared not speak. Mrs. Gu, the wife of the eldest wife Zhang Chengdong, said: "Mother, don't worry, Liu Daopo's hexagram has not been fulfilled every time. If Brother Hao'er's illness is cured, how can there be any trouble?"

"Hehe!" As soon as Mrs. Gu finished speaking, the young woman in a golden silk bun, wearing a big red armor, and a jade-studded zodiac skirt, looked at her slim figure, noble behavior, and very charming:

"Old lady, big lady, don't worry about you. One wave has not yet settled, and the other wave has risen again and again. In fact, there is nothing wrong. But Brother Hao has already been the second wave, and the first wave has passed long ago. Madams and grandmas don't remember Brother Zheng who came to stay in school for aunt's house? Didn't Brother Hao'er just have a crazy illness before?

Yesterday I heard from someone that this guy was so big, he climbed the mountain to watch the scenery, and sneaked out of the mansion and had a tooth sacrifice at night. Old lady, tell me, is this the wave?"

"Ouch!" Zhang's mother clapped her hands and said happily: "Why did I forget this? Not bad, not bad, I know this. Sister Hua a few days ago, and a big stone fell in my heart. Since the Lu family's Zheng'er has entered our Zhang Mansion, he is the junior of our mansion. He has this disaster, and it is exactly in line with our Zhang Mansion. The hexagram has come true!"

When Zhang's mother was in a good mood, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Someone immediately followed Zhang's mother's words, which made Zhang's mother laugh even more.

Only Ying'er felt a little uneasy. She met Lu Zheng when she came back from drinking yesterday, but how did Grandma Hua know? Could it be that the two little girls secretly said something to the Grandma?

As soon as she thought about this, she had thought. The charming young lady was the wife of the eldest son Zhang Jing. She was called the second grandmother in the house. Her name was Hua Hanjun. She was the daughter of the Hua family, a wealthy family in Changzhou Prefecture. She was the most shrewd and had a neat and erotic manner. The old lady and wife spoiled her. She took care of most of the matters about the house outside the house. No one in the house, inside and outside, was afraid of her.

"Girl Ying'er, are you thinking about it? I think you are absent-minded?" Suddenly, a voice sounded, Ying'er was shocked, and turned her head to see that it was the big girl Zhang Baoyi.

The girl Zhang Baoyi and Ying'er at home have the best relationship and are in line with each other's temperament. Zhang Baoyi's question attracted everyone's attention.

Ying'er suddenly felt panicked. Seeing so many eyes staring around her, she gritted her teeth and said, "Old lady, eldest lady, third wife, grandma, when it comes to this Young Master Lu, didn't the old lady ask me to go to Yipintang to bring medicine to Brother Hao'er yesterday?

When I came back from Xijiaomen, what did you think? I met their master and servant head-on.

The words of that brother Zheng'er can make people angry to death..."

Ying'er immediately told everyone about the situation when she met Lu Zheng yesterday. Lu Zheng said that the Zhang family ate tofu, vegetables, brown rice, bran, and lived in broken walls and ruins, and leaked houses. She also said that Yangzhou Prefecture is not as good as Jiangning Prefecture, etc. After she said this, the whole yard became like a swarm.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Gu, threw the Ru kiln teacup in her hand on the table and said briskly: "Isn't raising a little white-eyed wolf? Do he still dislike our Zhang family? A maid-born illegitimate son is still a master in the Lu family? If you say such words, is this going to insult my Zhang family?"

Zhang's mother frowned deeply, looked up at Hua Hanjun, and said, "Sister Hua, you are the most sensible, tell me..."

Hua Hanjun is the most clever and intelligent person. Seeing Zhang's mother's gloomy face, she knew that the old lady was angry, so she didn't dare to smile immediately. She hurried forward, without saying a word, knelt down "thump", tears flowing, and said:

"Old lady, even if Brother Lu was wronged that day, why didn't he let his wife and the old lady decide for him? He said that he came from the Lu family, but after all these days, he never saw him in the morning and evening. The wives and grandmas are busy with their own affairs. Could it be that the wives would still have to look for their own health every day? The Lu family probably doesn't have such rules that are reversed by their elders, right?"

Zhang's mother stared at Hua Hanjun, still angry. The dragon head crutch paused fiercely on the ground and said, "Sister Hua, don't talk about those things. I'll ask who is in charge of the West Garden? Who is serving Brother Lu?"

After Zhang's mother ordered, the yard was immediately in chaos. Hua Hanjun quickly ordered the maid Cuihong around her to pass the message. After a while, the old lady Liu, who was in charge of the Liang Shi family in the West Garden, served Lu Zheng's daily life, and two other little maids named Musk and Xingyu, who were only eleven or eleven years old, came over together and knelt in front of the old lady.

Zhang's mother pointed to Liang Shi's nose and said, "You asked you to take care of Xiyuan, but you threw away the old Zhang family's face! The Lu family brother eats brown rice crumbs every day, lives in a leaking house, and even burns incense to pray that there will be no night rainfall.

Has the Zhang family in Yangzhou been destroyed to this point? The brother from the Lu family came to my Zhang family to live in. He only had brown rice and bran to eat? He could only live in a house with leaking houses?

There is also the banana leaves in the yard, and the bird shit is fragrant. Listen to it... If this letter is sent to Jiangning, your aunt will probably be so embarrassed when she is in Jiangning Lu's house, right?"

"The Liang Shi family dragged out the stick for twenty years and fined half a year. Old Woman Liu is old, let's go to the old age. Who can take care of the two girls? Send them to the farm and stay in the house like raw cucumbers. Where can I serve people?"

After a few words from Zhang's mother, the Liang Shi family, the old lady Liu and others looked pale, while the two little girls widened their eyes, and they were so scared that they burst into tears. Compared to the Liang Shi family, the old lady Liu knew the inside story. They were completely kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on!

Grandma Hua asked them to take the bag, but they didn't know who they would take the bag, and what was going on. The old lady sent them to the village in one sentence, and it would be difficult for her to have a full meal from now on, let alone live a decent life.

Hua Hanjun shook the two of them hard, and Mrs. Gu couldn't see them, and said, "Mother, the two little girls are only eleven or twelve years old. I want to know what they are. I must have listened to the old woman. It's better to let them go to my room to serve. I'll let me train them carefully..."

"Since the boss, I want to set a rule today. Ying'er, go and invite Brother Lu, and say that my old lady knows that his illness has been cured and wants to see him. Go quickly!" The old lady interrupted Mrs. Gu's words, and Ying'er was already scared to death.

She never expected that her words would cause such a big disaster. As the close girl around the old lady, her mind was usually extremely delicate, but today she was dizzy and offended everyone. How could he, the big girl, deal with herself in the Zhang family in the future!
