The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Because of the past events, Mrs. Chen was really impatient to deal with the Zhao family.It's just that today is her birthday, and people came here in the name of paying homage to her birthday, so it's not easy to reject people at the door.

What's more, all the guests and guests in the hall can see that the Chen family is very hot now, so it is absolutely impossible to show a frivolous appearance to make people talk.Mrs. Chen thought for a while before she said: "The visitors are guests, since they are here, please come in."

Mrs. Feng agreed, went out to the door, recruited a little girl immediately, and uploaded the old lady's meaning to the second door.

When I was young, there were servants who led Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Lin's wife Sun into the main hall.Mrs. Zhao saw many female relatives in the hall, some of them were exquisite with hairpins and bracelets, and some of them were dressed in expensive clothes, and some of them were dressed up in high-quality clothes, which made them look more honorable, and her eyes lit up unconsciously.Those dizzy old eyes YouQi stared hard at everyone's body, and then smiled and said to Mrs. Chen's birthday: "My mother-in-law is well. I haven't seen you for so long, and you are getting tougher."

Upon hearing this, the old lady Chen just smiled faintly, and said in a nonchalant and polite way: "Thank you for thinking about it. Just ask the old lady to be careful. Between you and me, we are no longer in-laws."

After that, he said again: "Since you are here, you are a guest anyway, but please sit down."

Then he raised his voice and told the little girl to "watch tea".

Mrs. Zhao had already expected the Chen family's attitude when she came here, so she didn't care, and You sat beside her with a smile on her face.However, Zhao Lin's wife, Cheng Fu, was not as deep as her mother-in-law. Hearing what Mrs. Chen said, her face showed a little shame and sullenness.He said inwardly: "What did the old lady say? Although the sister-in-law asked to reconcile within a hundred days after my brother left, our Zhao family didn't treat the sister-in-law as an outsider. Does the old lady say that? gone?"

After saying a word, Mrs. Zhao's heart sank, and she knew it was not good.Sure enough, Mrs. Chen's complexion became gloomy, she didn't look at Zhao Lin's wife, and asked Mrs. Zhao, "The Zhao family is really a good tutor. Although your family and I are not in-laws, we are the elders in terms of age. Is there any reason why the elders are talking and the younger generations just interrupt at will? I remember that when our girl married into the Zhao family, the old lady was very strict about the rules. Even if our girl stood up a few Yue’s big belly, also known as Li Ji, almost caused a miscarriage. I thought the Zhao family’s rules were so big. Now it seems that it varies from person to person.”

The words were not salty or bland, but the language was sharp, and the old lady Zhao and Zhao Lin's wife felt uncomfortable immediately.Old Mrs. Chen accepted it before she saw it, and simply brought up the old story again: "There is a way to get a bargain and don't be a good boy. Why did our girl reconcile at the son-in-law's mourning hall? Don't talk about you and me in the middle, the capital is full of ten stops." There are eight people who know about it. The Zhao family is even more judgmental. Even if time has passed, your family wants to pour sewage on us, but it is impossible."

Back then, when the Chen family asked to reconcile and leave, the Zhao and Chen families caused a lot of trouble in the city because of this incident.Therefore, most of the female relatives present here know this old thing.Even if you don't know much about it, if you quietly inquire about it with the people around you, you will understand.

As a result, everyone looked at Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a weird way.

Mrs. Feng had already been to her mother-in-law when Zhao Lin's wife made trouble. Seeing her mother-in-law talking like this, she hurriedly brought a cup of tea to serve Mrs. Chen to drink.He frowned and asked Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. If you come to pay your respects, we welcome you. If you come to make trouble, don't blame us for being rude."

The female relatives in the hall also felt that the Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very different.Quickly opened his mouth to persuade, "Since they were in-laws in the past, they can't be in-laws now, so don't become enemies. What's more, today is the old lady's birthday. You said it was a birthday celebration, but you involved such nonsensical remarks. What mean?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly argued: "The old lady misunderstood. We came here today to sincerely wish you a birthday."

This is true.In fact, they thought about it as soon as the incident of Chen Jiazhi's fight against the gangsters happened during the Shangyuan Festival.It's just that I understand in my heart that what happened at the beginning offended the Chen family too much, and I'm afraid that even if I hand over the invitation, I won't be able to enter the Chen family's door.They simply waited until the old lady Chen's birthday to come uninvited, thinking that the Chen family was planning a happy event, so it would not be easy to turn away visitors.

The old lady Zhao had a good plan, but she didn't expect her daughter-in-law to be so stupid and so impatient, she easily gave the Chen family a handle.The rest is hard to mention.

It's just that no matter how difficult it is to mention it, you have to bite the bullet and say it, otherwise why did you come here today?The old lady Zhao sighed secretly, and changed the subject seemingly inadvertently: "Why don't you see Mrs. Chen and the two sisters? I think they are too lazy in the back, and they shouldn't. On the birthday of the old lady, even if it is It is also impossible to move lazily."

Mrs. Chen glanced at Mrs. Zhao with a smile that was not a smile, and said in a neutral voice: "I think the old lady forgot that the three of them, mother and daughter, are still wearing filial piety. Kowtow to me this morning." He turned his head and went to the back to keep quiet."

Because the son died, the old lady Zhao was the mother, and Zhao Lin was the younger brother—not to mention the relationship between the mother, son and brother was not good, so the Zhao family never kept their filial piety for Zhao Chen.That's why Mrs. Zhao really forgot just now. Now that Mrs. Chen mentioned it, Mrs. Zhao felt very uncomfortable.Quickly retorted: "I really didn't expect that the Chen family is no longer in our Zhao family, and she is willing to keep the filial piety for the boss. It can be seen that no matter what she looks like, she still thinks of us in her heart, and knows that we are a family."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Chen probably guessed the purpose of the Zhao family's visit. She was amused in her heart, and said lightly on her face: "This is not the same, one size is equal to one size. Ethics and righteousness can never be wrong."

Of course, Mrs. Zhao refused to let the Chen family disregard the relationship, and was about to say something, but a woman in her thirties who was well-dressed and handsome said with a smile: "This is the rule of the Chen family. When it comes to the upbringing of the daughters, every step is good. This can only be seen from the eldest girl."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and pointed at Chen Wan.Chen Wan lowered her head a little shyly, but her expression and demeanor were still graceful.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Feng looked over, but it was the daughter-in-law of Chang Yougui, the manager of Yutai Commercial Company, who was talking.

Hearing this remark, all the female relatives hurriedly voiced their opinions.One of them laughed and said, "Naturally, the sage praised it himself. How can there be any falsehood?"

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly interjected: "That's also the granddaughter of our Zhao family. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen the two sisters. It's strange to me, why don't you call them out to meet them?"

Mrs. Zhao also thought in her heart that the Chen family was too difficult to deal with, but the eldest sister and the second sister were the flesh and blood of the Zhao family.She can't write two Zhao characters in one stroke, but she is the direct grandmother of the two sisters.Filial piety, etiquette, could it be that the two sisters dare not listen to her orders?

Maybe she will take the two girls back today.

Breaking the bones and connecting the tendons, with the appreciation of the saints, the second sister's marriage will definitely be able to do more planning in the future, such an in-law will also bring some benefits to her grandson, how can the Chen family monopolize such a big advantage .

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao urged her even more.Yin said again: "Could it be that the old lady is afraid of making taboos? If so, I'd better meet people later when I go."

Mrs. Chen frowned slightly, and looked at Feng Shi.Feng said: "The two sisters are still showing filial piety. I think the old lady doesn't care about the eclipse and the underworld. There are so many guests here, so it's not good to bump into the distinguished guests?"

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, there are so many people at the banquet today. Our Chen family is poor and we are too busy to take care of it at the banquet. If the old lady really comes to celebrate her birthday, please sit down and have a drink Tea. If not... I will send it away soon."

Feng's words are also very clear.Since you came here under the banner of birthday wishes, just stop and pray for birthdays.If there is any other idea to make trouble, don't blame the Chen family for being rude.

Although the female family members in the hall were more curious about the mother and daughter of the Chen family, they came to pay respects to the old lady Chen's birthday.If it is on weekdays, no matter what they think in their hearts, everyone will smile and comfort, and agree with kind words.Seeing that the people from the Zhao family were not kind, everyone refused to speak out easily.

After half a day, Chang Yougui's wife thought about the Zhao family's intention, and said with a smile: "Although the sage is not talking about strange things, but today is the old lady's birthday. It's a good day, so it's better to be taboo. Thinking about it, Aunt Chen and her two sisters also thought so, so they kowtowed and avoided it. This is the filial piety of children, how can we live up to it?"

With Mrs. Chang's wife starting the conversation, it was easy for everyone to talk.The wife of the young owner of Yutai Trading Company also hurriedly smiled and said: "Isn't that right? Seriously speaking, it's a birthday wish for someone. Why do I see that every move is for bad luck?"

"...Who knows, maybe the drunkard's intention is not to drink!"

Chang Yougui's wife is very grateful for the life-saving grace of the second sister, and the businessman is the most well-informed.At the beginning, the Zhao and Chen families had a lot of trouble over the reconciliation and separation. Mrs. Chang's family understood very well how the Zhao family treated their two sisters.What's more, how long has the Chen family been away from home, and the Zhao family has ignored them, but now they are making this tone again...

Mrs. Chang's eyes rolled and she thought about it.Although he deliberately whispered to the wife of Shaodong's family in a voice that everyone around him could hear: "I think the wife doesn't know. I have heard about it. Although the old lady of the Zhao family said that she gave birth to two sons, she didn't care about it." Dafang’s sons and granddaughters should be regarded as human beings. Why did Mrs. Chen’s aunt want to reconcile before her husband’s death? If you really want to talk about it, it’s simply shocking..."

Mrs. Chang's wife slowly and gradually explained how old Mrs. Zhao treated the first wife harshly and favored the second wife, and that Zhao Lin's wife was afraid that the first wife would have a son after entering the family, so she changed the anti-abortion medicine into an abortion pill... and other trivial matters in detail. Say it again.Everyone who listened became more and more dumbfounded. It was really hard to imagine that there are such cruel mothers and grandmothers in this world.

It is said that the poison of the tiger does not eat its children. The actions of the Zhao family are really speechless.

Back then when those incidents were raging in Chang'an City, Mrs. Zhao had long planned to settle the old accounts of the Chen family.Even if the person speaking at this moment is Mrs. Chang's, Mrs. Zhao is still unafraid, and immediately said with tears in her eyes: "I know that I was smothered in my heart and confused in doing things. I didn't regret it until the boss was gone." .Old relative, even if you look at my age, have pity on me, let me see the two sisters."

What Mrs. Zhao said was really pitiful, not to mention a lot of tears and snot at a young age.Even the kind-hearted and soft-hearted guest couldn't bear it, and wanted to say a few words for her, but before he could speak, he was grabbed by the person beside him.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen did not answer Mrs. Zhao's words, she let out a long sigh, and said a little tiredly: "It can be seen that your family is not at ease to ask me to celebrate my birthday. On such a happy day, you are crying like this, I think it is a curse." I die!"

After finishing speaking, You Xian beat his leg with his fist angrily, and stretched out his hand tremblingly to Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Chen.I saw Mrs. Chen said with a sad face: "The house is restless, it is a joke for everyone. Since I don't want to let me celebrate my birthday, I don't want to get together today. It's just that it's my Chen family's fault to ask all the ladies to come here for nothing. Make amends later. Mrs. Feng, help me see off my guests."

After one sentence fell, others still didn't understand, but Mrs. Zhao panicked.She can't bear the notoriety of forcing people to stop the banquet on her birthday.If this news gets out, I'm afraid they will be criticized by thousands of people.

Aside from other things, as long as Mrs. Chen left the birthday party and came back with an angry tone, outsiders would come in without knowing it, and they would definitely think that she brought her daughter-in-law to make Mrs. Chen angry.At that time, the eldest sister and the second sister did not get back, but others mistakenly thought that the Zhao family was aggressive, and the Chen family became the victim instead. Wouldn't it be a steal?

Sure enough, after Mrs. Chen said those words, the female family members in the hall still felt pity for Mrs. Zhao's age and confusion, and now they are not feeling well——

Regardless of whether Mrs. Zhao really misses her granddaughter or has other plans, she should not disturb the Chen family's birthday banquet.Mrs. Chen is also nearly sixty years old, and she still has a few years to live. The Zhao family really shouldn't be doing this?

Because of Mrs. Chen's action of breaking the boat, the hearts of the people in the hall immediately turned.

The old lady Zhao got up in a panic and apologized, and said that she didn't mean to make trouble, and asked old lady Chen not to be so angry.You Yang persuaded the female relatives in the hall to help persuade Mrs. Chen, and when there was a lot of trouble, there was a rumor from outsiders that "the head of the Zhao family and several elders have come."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words.When I looked back, there was a little girl who led some old women with full hair and hair into the room.

I saw a person in front of me cast a serious look at Mrs. Zhao, then smiled at Mrs. Chen and said, "Hi, old birthday star. Come here uninvited, and forgive me for being reckless."

The first sentence naturally refers to himself, but the latter sentence is probably a pun, pointing at Mrs. Zhao.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen just let go of her heart.When he was more than perfunctory to the old lady Zhao, he said with a smile on his face that became more and more enthusiastic: "It turns out that it is your old relatives. You are willing to come. I am too happy to be happy. How can I blame you?"

After all, he hurriedly invited to sit down and watch tea.

The old wife of the head of the Zhao family sat down, looked at the awkward Zhao family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were standing there, and asked knowingly: "So it's the old sister-in-law and Zhao Lin's daughter-in-law. Are you also here to pay respects to the old lady?"
