Chapter 372: The Line

Cao's Mansion, Meiyuan, Shangfang.

There are altars in the middle, with two tablets on the middle, with the words "The position of the husband Jingming" written on the left and the words "The position of the grandma Niu" written on the right. Because of the matter of Yin Ningchun, the characters were used to substitute the name. This "The grandma Niu" was originally the mistress of Tian's family, Niuhulu, who swallowed gold and sacrificed his husband's death.

Tian was wearing mourning clothes, holding the hands of the brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, knelt in front of the tablet, and kowtowed to burn incense. Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng had just been on their birthdays, and they were still uneasy when they knelt with their mother, and looked at them with curious eyes. Zuo Cheng was the most naughty. When he saw the fruit offering on the altar, he stretched out his hand and whispered.

Tian wiped the tears of his face, took his son's little hand and stood up, giving the worship position to Cao Yong and his wife.

Cao Yong picked up the wine pot on the altar and poured three glasses of wine.

When he picked up the first glass of wine, Cao Yong's hand shook, and he felt sorrowful and unstoppable. Although Ning Chun had a baby face, among the few friends, he was the same age as Yongqing and six years older than Cao Yong. If he were alive, today would be his 26th birthday.

In the eyes of everyone, although Cao Yong was a young man, Ning Chun always treated him like his younger brother. Whether in Jiangning or in the capital, the two had the closest relationship.

Now that he has been wronged, Cao Yong, a friend and brother, wants to make a comeback, but he is powerless.

At this moment, Cao Yong felt ashamed, his face turned red, and his chest was so stuffy that he was about to go crazy.

With a gloomy face, he poured the first glass of wine to the ground, and said in his heart: "Ning Chun, I apologize to you! Don't worry, one day, I will let your blood return to the clan and let the Ning family's grievances be washed away!"

He picked up the second glass of wine and looked at the Niuhulu's tablet, and was full of admiration for the strong Manchu woman. No matter what, if you have a wife like this, what else can your husband ask for?

In the third glass of wine, he glanced at Tian who was standing next to him and sighed. This glass was from Jing Ning Chun's favorite concubine Qiu Niang. If the two were so loving, if the deceased had a spirit in the underworld, they would be able to stay together in the end.

After Cao Yong toasted the wine, Chu Yu stepped forward and stood with Cao Yong, solemnly bowing and burning incense.

After the worship, Cao Yong did not stay for long, so he asked Chu Yu to stay with Tian and went to the study room in the front yard by himself. His heart was a little confused, and he felt very conflicted and wanted to be alone for a while.

Because Chu Yu had a body, Tian was afraid that she would be tired, so he hurriedly asked her to sit down on the kang in the inner room. Zuo Cheng and Zuo Zhuo were naughty and wanted to climb on Chu Yu. Tian hurriedly called her breasts to carry the two of them down.

Chu Yu looked at her concern and said with a smile: "It's okay, they are a little bigger, how many pounds can they have!"

While filling a few dried fruits, Tian said, "I don't dare to let him make trouble. Grandma has only been a few months ago, and it is the most important thing. When I was in Hejian, I got sick because of negligence and had a long struggle."

Chu Yu knew that she was kind, so she didn't say much and changed the topic: "A few days ago, didn't my sister-in-law mention that she wanted to go to the temple to do a ritual for Mr. Ning? I told the old man that I asked someone to go outside to ask. It was cold before the New Year. When the weather was getting better in the first month, it would be nice for my sister-in-law to take her two nephews out to relax!"

"It's really a matter of both my grandmother and my grandmother!" Tian showed gratitude. When she said this, she remembered something, and said: "Just ask my grandmother and my grandmother to pity my sincerity. It's better to pay for the money for the rituals! The three of us, it's already a great kindness for our grandmother to take in and protect us. How can we be so upset!"

Seeing her so uncomfortable, Chu Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to do this! Sister-in-law Ning left the money behind the money, and the sister-in-law handed over it to the old man to deal with it. The old man took half of it and sent it to the south to invest in the shares, and the remaining half was thinking about buying the property for his two nephews in the capital. He found several farms but there was no suitable one, and he wanted to see the land price next spring. The sister-in-law's current expenses are not in the public branch, but are all the masters' own body. The old man has the strongest relationship with Uncle Ning, and he treats her as a sister-in-law. The younger sister-in-law doesn't have to take it to heart because of some unrestrained words."

How did Cao Yong and Chu Yu treat Tian in the past two years? Tian herself knew what it was, but in the past six months, some gossips have been heard, which made her, the honest man, feel very guilty and uneasy.

Tian was a little stupid. Although he wanted to express his apology, he didn't know what to say, and his eyes turned red in an anxious manner.

Chu Yu just thought she was thinking of Ning Chun, afraid that her worries would hurt her body, and advised: "The dead are gone, and we still have to watch what is alive. The two nephews are healthy now and will have a future when they grow up. Isn't it better to pull them up than anything else? Even Uncle Ning will be grateful to his sister-in-law."

Tian nodded and said, "Yes, the most important thing for children. When it comes to this, we should thank the kindness of the old man and grandma. Zuo Zhuo is fine, it is considered a sufficient amount; Zuo Cheng has been a kitten since he was a child, so he needs to be well treated to the medicine to become today. Not to mention anything else, it is enough for the medicine to be used this year, and it is enough for people to make up for it. I handed over the money to the old man, not to ask the old man to take care of it, but to make up for the money to buy medicine."

Although Tian was just a slave, he was also rigid and did not like to take advantage of it. Zuo Cheng landed, from the capital to Jiangning, Cao Yong asked people for good medicine to be sent to Yizhou continuously. Some of them were nothing that Tian had never heard of.

The Cao family is not a wealthy family, and Cao Yong and Chu Yu only have four dishes each. Tian was uneasy and sent the bag of gold and jade jewelry that Lin Ding left to her to Cao Yong.

Where did Cao Yong accept this? But he couldn't stand the hard begging Tian, ​​so he accepted it. However, he did not as medicine as Tian said, but instead sent the jewelry that was difficult to split into it to Weixin, Guangdong, and melted all the gold jewelry into gold ingots.

Even without this wealth, Cao Yong had already planned to buy some industries for Zuo Cheng and Zuo Zhuang in a few years. They were Ning Chun's sons, not Cao's slaves, and there was no reason to always be under others. Although he could take care of them for a while after his lifetime, he would always have to make careful preparations.

Chu Yu and Tian were chatting about family matters when they heard the sound of "Dingdeng" footsteps.

But the little walnut came in with a white face, feeling in a daze. When he saw Chu Yu and Tian, ​​he didn't care about saluting and choked and said, "Mom, where is my servant?"

Chu Yu and Tian were confused when they saw her being so shocked. Tian asked, "What's wrong with Little Walnut? Didn't you learn the rules with your two aunts? Is this... Is this scolding?"

Little Walnut shook his head, his eyes full of tears. His eyes looked at Chu Yu and Tian with a little fear, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Little Walnut's mother, Sister Yang, was doing needlework in the east room. When she heard the noise, she saw Little Walnut being so disobedient, and couldn't help but frown and said, "How old are you? Grandma is so insolent that you are becoming more and more unruly!"

When Little Walnut saw Sister Yang, she was as if she had seen a savior. She immediately rushed up and cried, "Mom, Mom, we are not a servant anymore, are you so scared, Little Walnut should not be beaten to death, nor should she be dragged out!" As she said that, her body was already trembling and tears fell.

Sister Yang just thought it was the two who were following the rules of his aunt, and she frightened Xiao Walnut and said angrily: "Silly girl, that's the aunts who are scaring you. The old man and grandma are all compassionate. Don't say these messy words!"

When Xiao Walnut heard this, his head was rattled and said with a sob: "It's not what the aunts said, it's what my daughter saw with her own eyes. The spider girl in Huaiyuan was beaten to death by her second wife, and she even said she wanted to beat the dragon girl to death!"

"What?" Chu Yu and Tian were shocked when they heard this and both stood up from the kang.

Tian opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is this true?"

Little Walnut cried and nodded: "Well, really, I saw it with my own eyes. I just beat my aunts and came back from learning the rules. Thinking that I had asked me to take a few tricks from the dragon girl in Huaiyuan in the morning, I went to Huaiyuan. Because the door was open, I went in. Before I could call someone, I heard the movement of the second wife.

The second wife has always been awesome, and the servants are afraid, so they hide behind the door. The second wife entered the yard and asked people to drag people out to the Dragon Girl's house and the Spider Girl's house, saying that the sisters did not go to pay her respects, and they were sluts who didn't know the rules.

The Dragon Girl was not in the room, and the Spider Girl was dragged out, but it was... but I don't know when my stomach got bigger. The second wife was so angry that Madam Zhang said that this would ruin the future of the second wife.

The second wife said that Miss Spider was disrespectful to her master and ordered someone to slap her in the face and even hit her on the board. Miss Spider first begged for mercy, and then she wanted to run outside, saying that she wanted to find Dragon Girl in Wutongyuan. She was stopped by her two wives and did not run out.

The second wife asked someone to block her mouth, and Madam Zhang went to kick her in the stomach... The Spider girl didn't move, as if... she was exhausted... The second wife asked someone to look for the dragon girl in Wutongyuan. The servant was so scared that she took advantage of them entering the house and leaving the yard... Woo woo... it was all blood..." At the end of the story, Little Walnut was already crying.

Although Tian was born as a slave, he had only heard of killing servants like this. Chu Yu grew up in the royal palace. Although the concubines would not punish servants in front of her, they had also heard of them, but they did not expect that it would happen to the Cao family.

Because Cao Yong himself is a kind person, Chu Yu rarely beats and scolds people in the inner house. Now, it is not just a jade spider, but listening to Xiao Walnut's words, it is the result of a corpse and two lives.

Chu Yu was shocked, but he really couldn't imagine why Zhao Jia was so stubborn, so he heard footsteps in the yard. It was Xiyun, Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang coming with him.

Xiyun also felt a little anxious, and went into the room, saluted Tian, ​​and said to Chu Yu: "Prince, Yuqiong has just come to find the princess, saying that he had something to beg for the princess, but he was called by the second wife's people just now. Looking at it, I'm afraid the second wife will have an attack!"

Chu Yu remembered the Jade Spider who knew nothing about life and death and said, "I know, the second wife is in Huaiyuan, I'll go over and take a look!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Luo said, "You are not a good person. This is not in accordance with the rules. Since the second wife is here, there is no reason why Princess, the cousin, is going to take care of the affairs of her brother's house!"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Auntie, I know this. However, Yushu and Yuqiong are the ones that the old man should use, so they are hard to stand by and let the second wife do it. If they make mistakes, it is really hard to explain to the second master. The old man loves this younger brother the most and is a kind person. Although he is a housework in his house and is troubled, he will not be able to escape the impeachment of a family who is not strict in his family and abused his relatives!"

Although Chu Yu was right, Aunt Luo still advised: "Even so, there is no need for the princess to come forward. Just run away! Princess doesn't have to behave normally now. With two bodies, you should be more taboo. Some things cannot be read or some words cannot be listened to, otherwise if you have them, who can bear it?"

Chu Yu was less than three months pregnant and had not yet sat down. Not to mention Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang were blocked, even if Tian Shi felt diligent, she would stop him from going there.

Chu Yu touched her stomach, and saw that everyone stopped her from passing by, so she didn't dare to waste time. She was afraid that Yuqiong would make any mistakes, so she said to Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang: "Since that's the case, I'll ask for my two aunts! No matter what fault Jade Spider made, it will be a life after all, and she can save her. Yuqiong has always been honest and must have been burdened by the fish today. Please help me and both aunts!"

Aunt Luo and Aunt Chang responded, and Chu Yu sat down by the kang. It was not her cruel heart, but in a flash, she also made a choice. It was a scandal of the Cao family who made the mistake. Even if the brother of the second wife made a mistake, Cao Yong, the elder brother, had to bear the crime of "negligent teaching".

Chu Yu calmed down and said to Tian: "Sister-in-law, this matter must be stopped here, so it is really not advisable!"

Tian heard Chu Yu's intention and said to Sister Yang: "I heard what the big grandma said. Little Walnut was scared. Take it down and coax it well. Remember to ruin this matter in your heart!"
