I’m a Scumbag [Quick Wear]

"Mrs. Hou may be cold-hearted, but it's not that she really doesn't like you. Since she is cold, you should serve more attentively in the future, and one day she will warm people up." Mrs. Shen She said so, but she knew in her heart that the Xiao family was outright protesting the marriage.

When she was in Suzhou before, Shen Zhilan was sad at the death of her grandfather and grandmother, and her eyes were as red as walnuts crying all day long. Wanqian, people with many eyes and mixed eyes, for the sake of her daughter's reputation, Mrs. Shen asked her to wear a hat all the time, and the two children have never been seen. A few days ago, the mother and daughter of the Shen family visited the Hou's mansion. I thought that both parents were there. The two fiancées were able to meet each other in an open and honest manner, but Mrs. Shen used the excuse of "there is a difference between men and women, and it should be respected". When Shao Yu came to visit, she ordered Shen Zhilan to avoid behind the screen, and the two did not see each other again. become.

The people in the Hou residence were watching, and Shen Zhilan didn't dare to spy behind the screen.

So for so long, Shen Zhilan didn't know what Shao Yu looked like. Mrs. Shen and the servants praised Shao Yu as very good looking. Huanxin, now that Shao Yu doesn't even go back to home because of his studies, such a noble, personable, and hard-working future husband, even if he has never actually met, has already met all Shen Zhilan's imaginations for his future husband. How can she not let her heart secretly promise? It was precisely because of this that she was so sad about the fact that Xiao Shi didn't like her.

Xiao shi is like this, Mrs. Shen has nothing to do. Now that Shao Yu came to visit, she did not dare to let the two meet, lest there would be any bad news back, Xiao shi took this again make a fuss.

Xiao Shi did not like Shen Zhilan, and she was almost straightforward. The gift she gave when she came to meet her was a pair of large gold bracelets. Although the value was quite high, it was not suitable for young girls at all. Relatives are generally treated.

Mrs. Shen can only be fortunate now that she never lived in the Hou Mansion, otherwise she would not know how much she would suffer in private.

In the future when her mother-in-law expresses her dislike, her daughter will obviously have to suffer some sparring, but Mrs. Shen still has to grit her teeth and insist on this marriage. After all, this is almost all her hope for the rest of her life. , and in her opinion, there is no mother-in-law who does not spar with her daughter-in-law, and even she herself has been sparred by her mother-in-law for a long time because she has not given birth to a son. She believes that as long as the husband and wife are of one mind, Shen Zhilan may suffer a little after marriage, but If you get through it, you will be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

Shao Yu was stopped by his eldest brother as soon as he returned home. His eldest sister-in-law was pregnant again, but this time, the morning sickness was severe, and he had no energy to do anything, and could not even discipline his two children. Brother Shao was busy with official business. Afraid that the servants would not be satisfied, he wanted to give the child to Xiao to take him for a period of time.

It's just that the Xiao family never liked the eldest son, and she didn't even have much love for the two children. Shao Jin was afraid that the Xiao family would not be willing to help, so she asked Shao Yu to make peace.

Why Xiao Shi dislikes Shao Jin, Shao Yu also knows a thing or two. When Shao Jin was born, the dystocia made Xiao Shi tossed enough, and Shao Jin was sent to her mother-in-law's yard a few days after birth. When he returned to Xiao's side, Xiao's knees already had Shao Yu, who was more noisy, and then Shao Jin grew up and married a girl from her grandmother's family. Xiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought for many years. , how could Xiao shi be so happy with him.

Xiao shi suffered from the oppression of her mother-in-law, and she did not discuss much about the eldest daughter-in-law, but she was cold and unwilling to deal with it every day. He has been holding it tightly, this attitude is similar to that of Shen Zhilan.

Shao Jin has always been determined to resolve the knot between the mother and son, but she couldn't think of a way to do it. Shao Yu heard the words and felt that this time was a good opportunity to ease.

Xiao shi was quite surprised to see Shao Yu, but when she saw Shao Jin again, her expression became a little light.

"You've been here for so many days, it's just an academy, I can give you any shop, and it might earn more money than an academy. accompany me."

Xiao Shi was quite dissatisfied with the fact that her son lived in the college. After all, it was so close to the capital, but Shao Yu had to live in a humble environment like the college.

"Mother, why do I run a college to earn money? I really want to study." Shao Yu glanced at Shao Jin.

Shao Jin immediately said: "Since mother feels lonely, why don't you bring Yang Er over, so that the place can be lively."

Xiao shi glanced at him and said, "It's your wife who can't have children."

"She has severe morning sickness recently, and she really can't bear the child... ah." Before Shao Jin finished speaking, her feet hurt.

Shao Yu retracted her feet, looked at Xiao Shi's half-smiley eyes, and said, "Mother is the most kind-hearted, and my elder brother and elder sister-in-law don't worry about teaching their children to others. , and only the mother can be trusted."

Seeing that Xiao Shi was still unmoved, Shao Yu smiled and said, "Does mother know why eldest brother is so moved?"

"It's not for his wife, that's why I want his mother to be a mother." Xiao Shi said angrily.

"It's not like that, it's because of me, eldest brother." Shao Yu said.

Xiao raised her eyebrows, but Shao Jin was a little moved. Seeing her brother put the pot on her, she immediately wanted to explain.

Shao Yu took the lead and said, "My eldest brother is envious of my mother having a son who is a champion. Although my son has not yet started the exam, my eldest brother thinks that I will definitely be able to pass the exam, which is why I keep thinking. Send Yang'er here to get some light."

Shao Jin was stunned, Xiao Shi laughed and said: "You are really, you are not ashamed to speak, you will make me happy, then I will wait to be the mother of the champion."

Although Xiao shi loves her young son, she doesn't think that Shao Yu can be admitted to the top spot, and she takes this as a joke.

"Big brother." Shao Yu winked at him.

Shao Jin immediately presented the ruby ​​head and face, Xiao Shi glanced at it, and said unhappily: "I usually don't see you being filial to me, and now I need my mother's help, I know it's a gift."

Shao Jin felt a little aggrieved. Usually, he did not buy anything, but he was often disliked by Xiao. This time the ruby ​​head was bought by Shao Yu. Shao Yu saw that Shao Jin bought it I laughed out loud on the spot when I bought a set of jewelry. In order to prevent my eldest brother from angering his mother, I forcibly exchanged the headgear I bought for my eldest brother's ugly set of jewelry.

"This color, this style." Xiao Shi wanted to habitually pick up a few mistakes, and then took a closer look, this face is really good-looking, she fell silent and thought carefully Which skirt should I wear to match it?

Shao Jin has no aesthetic ability. The jewelry he gave to Xiao was always disliked by many people. He thought it was the same this time, and hurriedly said: "If mother doesn't like it, I will give it to you again. buy something else."

Xiao shi glared at him and said, "Why, don't give up?"

Shao Jin hurriedly denied that he was here with the Xiao family, he was really right or wrong, wrong even more wrong, anyway, he is a very unpleasant existence, no matter how Xiao family treats him, it seems that he has already got used to.

Shao Yu had a headache, just like his eldest brother, if he wanted to make Xiao Shi happy, it would be better to give up his mind.

Xiao Shi was not happy when he looked at Shao Jin, the eldest son’s stupid appearance gave him a headache, and the two children born seemed to be dumbfounded, but they were still flesh and blood in the end. Entrusted, she will naturally treat her well. Xiao Shi said that she was disgusted. In fact, her situation was as Shao Jin said. Shao Yu, the most caring young son, left home, whether it was when he went to Suzhou or when he went to the college. , she does feel lonely, it's better to have two more children, it's more lively.

The matter was almost finished, Xiao Shi looked at Shao Jin and felt a headache, so she drove him away, and when she turned her head, she saw Shao Yu took out a set of jewelry, she couldn't help laughing origin.

"This gold chain, gold bracelet, gold ring, looks very tacky, who can take it out, I don't want it." Xiao said.

Shao Yu said: "If my mother doesn't like it, she will turn back and melt it into gold, and take it as a reward."

When you don't know each other, you will make a joke at that time."

Shao Yu returned the original words: "There are differences between men and women, and it is rude."

Xiao Shi stalked, patted Shao Yu hard, and said, "Who am I all for? I heard that they have been named in front of His Majesty. I can’t say that they will be transferred back to the capital one day. The Yu family is also a big family, and there are many talents in the family. I have also seen the girl from the Yu family. Miss Shen is much more sensible."

"My mother speaks ill of other people's girls behind her back, which is not good, and I have to study tomorrow." Shao Yu still refused.

"On your head, what can you do if you read more for one day and less for one day." Xiao Shi said.

Shao Yu shook his head and said, "Learning is like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."

"I haven't read the book for a few days, but the reasoning is different. Tell me the truth, is it really that Shen Zhilan?" Xiao Shi asked.

Shao Yu nodded, and instead asked: "What is the mother's dissatisfaction with her? Although the Shen family has been defeated, but in terms of a generous dowry, perhaps the eldest sister-in-law is not comparable to Miss Shen."

"I don't want her dowry." Xiao's face was full of dissatisfaction, and she continued: "No matter how thick her dowry is, can she still compete with the Hou Mansion? Now your eldest brother Your future is set, but you don’t know what to do in the future, if your wife’s family is no longer capable, then you…”

Xiao was interrupted by Shao Yu before she could finish her words: "Is the mother's family very strong? Why did the father need to rely on the mother's family?"

Xiao Shi was dumbfounded. Her son said this very rudely. After a while, she asked: "Do you think you are the same as your father? It will only fall on your eldest brother, you are different from Lord Hou."

"I used to think that I was bad. I always thought like my mother, if my wife's family is strong, I can also have a lot of convenience. Now I want to understand that it is useless for a man to rely on others in this world. , I can only stand on my own, I know my mother thinks that I can't get into the top spot, but I want to test one for my mother to see." Shao Yu said.

Xiao shi looked at the son in front of him and suddenly felt a little strange. Lord Hou attaches great importance to friendship, even if the mother-in-law's family is defeated, but the mother-in-law is crying and begging, Lord Hou still decides this marriage for the eldest son, Shen Qingyuan is dead, Lord Hou has already insisted on the marriage contract of the Shen family, even for the sake of more. She took care of the orphans and widows and sent Shao Yu to Suzhou to pick them up in person.

As for herself, she is always seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. The youngest son used to be like her, but now even the youngest son has changed.

Sometimes she can't tell whether it is because of her mother-in-law that she hates the eldest son, or because the integrity of the eldest son will make her see the ugly and weak side of herself. She doesn't want to hate herself, so she Started to hate the firstborn.

"How many sons does the uncle of the Yu family have? I'm afraid he can't take care of his own son, how can he take care of his son-in-law, and their family knows that I have a marriage contract, and they want to marry the Hou's mansion, don't they? Isn't it a plot? And my mother hasn't contacted Yu's aunt for many years, isn't it because you have a bad relationship? Why should my mother force herself to marry someone she hates. "

The last sentence hits the nail on the head. As Shao Yu guessed, Mrs. Xiao really hates Mrs. Yu.

"Shao Yu said that although the child was to be adopted by the Shen family, no one from the Shen family dared to come to the Hou's Mansion to **** someone, and the child just changed his surname and still lived in the Shao family. The child of Shaojiatu is still the property of the Shen family of Shaojiatu.

Xiao Shi finally sighed and said weakly: "You let me think about it again."

Shao Yu returned to the academy early the next morning. When Xiao Shi learned the news of the servant's report, he was only stunned and did not say anything to blame.

The relationship between Zhongshi and Shumei was indeed not harmonious, and there was even a lot of disagreement. Now, for the sake of their children's marriage, the two are reluctant to get together.

The Xiao family plans to plan for the future of the Yu family, and the Yu family plans to plan for the power and wealth of the Houfu.

, how to think about it again, people are not cowardly, but well-behaved and polite.

Xiao shi was stunned. Now this situation reminds her of the stepdaughter who married the Luo family. Shao Yuyan is the eldest daughter and a ruthless character. The step wife Xiao is in her hands. She has suffered losses several times. Shao Yuyan is like this. She will always be close to her, as if their relationship is so good, but every time the bureau is set up, Xiao Shi can't tell how hard it is.

Xiao shi moved very unnaturally, and Mammy Zheng next to her took a step forward, seemingly inadvertently separating Yu Xuexin, Yu Xuexin scolded the old servant inwardly.

"You two cousins, one is busy with official business, and the other is studying in the college now. Today is a bad luck, otherwise it's time for you brothers and sisters to meet."

Hearing what Xiao said, Yu Xuexin rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Speaking of yesterday, thanks to my second cousin, otherwise I would be miserable."

Mother Yu also smiled and boasted: "Yes, this child is filial. Yesterday Xue Xin went to the Silver Building on Zhuque Street and wanted to make a set of head and face jewelry for me, but unfortunately she was wearing a hat. It was blown up by the wind, and was actually entangled by a dandy. Thanks to Brother Yu passing by, he drove the dandy away directly. When the two sides asked about it, they realized that they were all relatives. Brother Yu did everything carefully. That dandy will pester him again, and he will only leave with Xue Xin on the carriage, this child, who has only just met once, already loves his sister so much."

Xiao Shi felt that something was wrong. Shao Yu didn't mention it when he got home. Now, in the descriptions of the mother and daughter of the family, it seems that Shao Yu likes Yu Xuexin so much, but Xiao Shi does not mention it. You know, if you really like it, Shao Yu should be looking forward to meeting today, instead of avoiding it like yesterday.

Looking at the mother and daughter of the Yu family now, she only thinks that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. This daughter-in-law cannot be married. If she does marry, she will be a troublemaker.

Xiao shi said with a smile: "Even if you are not his cousin, even if you meet him on the road, he will save him. This child is so good and kind."

Yu Xuexin added: "Cousin is indeed a kind-hearted person. Yesterday, I met my uncle's son bullying a vegetable farmer, and my cousin gave him a severe lesson, but he was mighty. "

"Uncle Guo's son?" Xiao Shi was slightly startled, but he didn't take it seriously. Although Uncle Guo was powerful, Hou Fu was not afraid.

"Aunt, yesterday was the wrong thing that person did first, and my cousin didn't make it because he couldn't see it. It wasn't intentional."

Xiao shi nodded and said, "This child is really impatient."

"Aunt, yesterday I saw that cousin Yu bought a hairpin made of plain silver. The hairpin is shaped like an orchid and looks exquisite, but did my cousin buy it for my aunt? "Yu Xuexin asked again.

The smile on Xiao's face suddenly faded. Since it was in the shape of an orchid, she immediately knew who it was bought for. Then she thought of the ruby ​​head and face, such a beautiful head face, how could it be bought by the boss's elm knot, and the boss's expression was not right yesterday, those ugly gold chains and gold bracelets should be the boss's handwriting, she suddenly Understand, this should be because Shao Yu was afraid that the boss would send things indiscriminately to make him angry, so he changed it.

Hairpin, suddenly felt that there is nothing to care about.

Yu Xue thought that Xiao Shi was silent, thinking that her provocation had worked, and she was quite proud, but Xiao Shi had completely excluded her from the list of daughters-in-law at this time.

Gu Family in Suzhou.

Patriarch Gu was having a severe headache at this time. His mother and wife cried to him every day, crying so much that he didn’t even want to stay at home. Every day, Madam called the little servant to question him, and the little servant was questioned every day, like a prisoner being tried, and all the details were taken out.

When she knew that Gu Jiangliu was about to run in circles but couldn't run, the old lady Gu cried.

Mrs. Gu cried when she knew that Gu Jiangliu was not full.

When they knew that Gu Jiangliu could not beat others in martial arts, Old Madam Gu and Madam Gu cried together.

"He's so small that he doesn't even have to eat meat. Why is my son so bitter." Mrs. Gu cried, and she was about to smash the head of the family with a cane.

Patriarch Gu did not dare to escape, so he kept saying, "Mom, calm down."

After dozens of days of tossing and turning, the two women took turns to sing opera, forcing the head of the family to send someone to bring the child back.

Gu family head is a man with a rough mind. After listening to the description of the little servant, I probably understand how this academy works, and I also understand that as long as it is carried down, Gu Jiangliu can change the food, drink and play. The problem is that I can't say that I can get a name in the future.

They were all bitten to death.

Patriarch Gu had been carrying it for more than half a month, but one day someone came to the door with a famous post from Siqi College. In addition to letters, he also brought a lot of things.

Patriarch Gu first opened the letter from the college. The letter from the college described in detail Gu Jiangliu's performance this month, and also attached the transcript of the monthly exam. After finishing the letter from the academy, he then opened Gu Jiangliu's letter. Gu Jiangliu's letter said a lot of thoughts about his family, and he also described in detail how he acted bravely in the street and fought five times. Gu Jiangliu did not say anything about himself in the letter. Being knocked down by one move, he kept bragging about how heroic he was, and finally mentioned the gifts he bought for his family, euphemistically implying that the Gu family mainly placed gifts in conspicuous places in the home.

Patriarch Gu read the letter and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet.

Old Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu saw him like this, and hurriedly asked: "What is written in this letter, why are you crying? Is Liu'er suffering in the capital? I know he is sure If he has to suffer, send a car now, and I will personally go to Beijing to pick him up."

"Mother." The head of the Gu family continued, "Liu'er bought a present for her mother."

Old Mrs. Gu warmed her heart and complained, "This child, he doesn't have enough money, so he still buys something indiscriminately."

Mrs. Gu was slightly distressed, and then she heard Patriarch Gu say to her: "I bought it for you, and I also bought it for me, this child has really grown up, and the words he said were unfavorable before. Suo, I still know quoting allusions when writing letters now, it must be taught by the teachers of the college well."

"You read to me and see what Liu'er has learned." Mrs. Gu's eyes were dim, so she could only let her son read the letter to him.

"Being brave, is he injured?" the old lady asked.

"It's okay, he's amazing, he's beating others," said the head of the family.

The old lady Gu couldn't help nodding her head: "That's great, my family Liu'er is really smart, he can learn everything in one go, and he actually got the thirteenth place in the monthly test, it can be seen that this child is from the past. It's not stupid not to be careful, now that you are careful, you will be able to take the thirteenth exam immediately, by the way, how many children does his academy have?"

Patriarch Gu twitched the corners of his eyes and said a little embarrassedly, "There are thirteen children in total."

The old lady Gu was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Uh, there are still too few children, you look at the relatives' homes, if there is anything that is not sensible, and send them over to see..." Let's see if Liu'er's ranking can be raised by one liter.

Mrs. Gu immediately said: "My mother-in-law's nephew makes my brother and sister-in-law angry every day, but the two of them can't control it, why not..."

"Okay, it's Brother Yun, that kid is really ignorant, he's not as good as our brother Liu." Mrs. Gu said immediately.

Similar things happened to several other families in Suzhou City. Seeing that their **** have finally learned so much, all fathers were moved to tears, thinking in their hearts, this academy It's worth it, you must withstand the pressure, and you must press the little brat to death in this academy.

Although the woman in the family cares about the child, but after reading the letter from the college, she explained the situation of each child very clearly, not only about the progress of the child, but also about the problems that the child still has, After all, the children are all changing for the better. They feel sorry for the children because they are afraid that the children will endure hardships. Now that the children have taken it over themselves, if they continue to make trouble, it will be a hindrance for the children.

The letters received by other people are similar. Feng Zhifu and Zhao Hua's father have an additional bill. The bill is attached to the transcript. The two have no private houses. The money for buying gifts is all drawn from the college account. This account is clearly written. Except for deducting the repairs, all the money on it is spent on buying gifts, but there are also A lot of balance.

A bundle of two hundred taels a year, is the flower worth it? Just looking at such detailed bills and the children's transcripts, Feng Zhifu and Master Zhao were full of goodwill towards this academy, and even thought that the fee must be renewed next year.

The messenger will stay in Suzhou for one day, and return to Beijing with all the parents' letters the next day. However, he said that the college has rules, you can bring letters, but you can't bring things over, and he promised again and again that the children will be well fed and warm in the college, and they will not be cold or cold. , instead of inserting a bank note in the letter.

Even Feng Zhifu and Master Zhao, after hearing their son's complaint that Xiaohuahua would be deducted for withdrawing money from the college account, quietly stuffed two silver notes into the letter.

And in Suzhou City, after the messenger left for a period of time, it became popular to enjoy the carving of thuja.

I don't know where the wind is blowing, those big families, today the owner will hold a banquet to admire the jasper root carvings, and tomorrow the western family will hold a banquet to admire the jasper root carvings, even the prefect adults, also held a banquet. Returning to the banquet, just so that when everyone was praising the root carving of the Dapeng's wings, he said indifferently, "It was all bought by my eldest son who was studying in Beijing, and he obviously didn't have enough money to spend, so he had to give it to me frugally. Buy what kind of root carving, this child is filial piety, just like me!"
