Chapter 375: Calculating the accounts

Although Cao Yong was impatient to meet Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia wanted to defend him.

At the room in Shaoyuan, Zhao Jiashi heard the wife who was asking about her reply, and immediately sat up from the kang and asked, "What? Song'er came out of Wutongyuan and went to the ancestral hall? She knelt all night and didn't even eat food...." She was so angry that her eyes turned black and she almost carried her head to the ground.

Lu Ju saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Madam, don't be upset first, wait for the question to be carefully discussed."

It turned out that I woke up early this morning and received a letter from the Sun family's envoy, saying that Cao Ying was going to visit her husband Sun Juewu later. Zhao Jia sent her wife to Huaiyuan to tell Cao Song, but she didn't expect to know such a thing.

Cao Song came out of Wutong Garden yesterday and did not return to Huaiyuan, but went to the ancestral hall to kneel down to the ancestors.

Zhao Jia stroked her chest and pointed to her wife and said, "You are going to the ancestral hall, but is Cao Song there?"

The wife replied, "I want to pass on the words of my wife, so I went there. The second master knelt down. I couldn't see it clearly, but I just saw that the clothes on my body were really thin. The third master and the fourth master didn't know how to know the letter, so they went over to persuade him. The second master just didn't say anything, saying that it was what he deserved, and asked the third master and the fourth master to study and not be lazy."

If there is no fire in the ancestral hall, how can it be treated with people? Zhao Jia felt so distressed that she could not do it, bit her lip and said, "What? Only the third and fourth masters have gone, where is the old man, and he has not shown up?"

The wife replied, "I didn't see the old man, but I heard from the third and fourth masters that I wanted to find the old man, but the old man seemed to have gone to the yamen early!"

Zhao Jia was furious and felt that her forehead was hurt. OK, my brothers were about to freeze to death, but he went to the yamen leisurely.

She held down the edge of the kang, called Lu Ju to change her clothes, gritted her teeth and said, "What a good brother, good sister-in-law, I want to ask, I am not dead yet, so where is his cousin's turn to be an expert in law?"

Lu Ju and the wife both felt it was inappropriate, and seeing Zhao Jia's angry look, she did not dare to dissuade her.

Zhao Jia felt a splitting headache, but her feet were quickly under her feet. She supported her wife and Lu Ju's hands and hurried to Wutongyuan.

In the room in Wutong Garden, Chu Yu invited Zijing over and expressed her doubts. Could she be really wrong? If the prince knew that she was such a cruel and ruthless person, would she get tired of her?

The second housekeeper has been in Beijing for half a year, and some unpleasant words have been heard. Although Zi Jing does not like her, she does not want Chu Yu and Cao Yong to do it. In addition to going to Wutongyuan, she rarely goes out of Kuiyuan to walk around. Therefore, she only learned about yesterday's incident later.

Seeing Chu Yu so uneasy, Amethyst scanned her belly, thought for a while, and said, "Grandma is thinking too much. This is not good and can easily hurt her body. There is one thing that was because she was afraid that her grandma would think about it, so I endured it and didn't say it..." At this point, she hesitated for a moment.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Chu Yu was quite surprised. After years of being together, although she had entrusted Amethyst to do all the housework, Amethyst rarely asked her for her opinion when she was self-dedicated.

Zi Jing said: "Since the disappearance of the young master of Li's family, Changsui around him has increased from four to eight. Not to mention the time when he was in the escort, there were certain rules for the people who followed him. When he was in the capital, Uncle Wei chose seven capable Changsui guards."

Although Amethyst was just a fact, Chu Yu could not help but be shocked when he heard the meaning of the words, and said, "So...so...so...it's so dangerous outside..."

Zijing sighed and said, "Grandma, it's dangerous outside. I don't say it or not. I don't say it. I just do it in the yamen. I don't think it's light. The old man is young and there are many officials in the capital. I don't know how tired he is. Grandma has never seen the old man when he was a child. He is the most lazy. He has been very troubled in the past few years, and it makes people feel distressed. It's troublesome to be a job outside. If he returns to the mansion and still has to worry about housework, then isn't that pitiful?"

Speaking of this, she paused and said to Chu Yu: "Grandma is just to save the old man's worries. How can there be any mistakes? After all, it can only be said that Jade Spider is confused. Even if she changes to someone else's house, she will not tolerate this."

Chu Yu was stunned, his eyes were red, and he whispered: "It's all my fault that I am so annoyed by these things."

Amethyst originally wanted to say a few words, so there was no need to be too indulging in the second wife's words, but because of her identity, it would be like sow discord. Therefore, she advised: "Grandma doesn't have to be like this. Grandma is so old. Since she got married, her wife is not in Beijing. It takes two years to learn this housework to be easy. Now, it's already very good!"

Chu Yu nodded, remembering the news that someone came to the Sun family to deliver the letter in the morning, and said, "The old man has been back late these two days. My aunt and the Sun family are coming here in the afternoon. We have to send someone to the yamen to send a letter to the old man."

Azuki responded and wanted to go out to arrange for the servant to deliver the letter, but he heard the "table" footsteps in the yard.

Chu Yu and Zi Jing looked at each other, not knowing who was so irritable. Then Xi Yun picked up the curtain and came in and said, "Prince, it's the second wife here!"

Chu Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Fortunately, the prince was not here, and the second wife had really passed. What's the reason for rushing around to the nephew's yard like this?

When Zhao Jia arrived at the corridor, she didn't wait for anyone to pass the message, nor did she wait for Chu Yu to come out to greet her, so she picked up the curtain and rushed into the inner room.

Chu Yu had just come out of the room and was about to greet Zhao Jia. Seeing that her nose was not a nose, her face was not a face, she couldn't help but wonder. What does it mean? Should Wutongyuan be Cao Song's Huaiyuan, and she also want to perform a show of flesh?

Chu Yu was willing to let go of his figure and responded to Zhaojia, but he didn't want Zhaojia to have friction with Cao Yong, which made it difficult for Cao Yong to do. People's hearts should be fleshy. Why did he not see the second wife being close to each other for more than half a year, but instead became more domineering?

Thinking about what Azuki said just now that it was not easy for Cao Yong to be outside, Chu Yu also felt a little complaining about Zhao Jia.

Seeing that she was unwilling to greet her, Zhao Jia became more and more annoyed. She raised her chin and said, "Where is Brother Yong, call him out to see me? I want to ask whose rules are this? Ah, why is it his turn to be a master of law for my son?"

Chu Yu was stunned when he saw Zhao Jia's face full of resentment.

Seeing that Chu Yu did not respond, Zhao Jia became more annoyed and couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Cao Yong, Cao Yong, come out for me!"

Chu Yu's face slowly turned cold. He looked at Zhao Jia and said, "Second Mrs., I've been to the office of the uncle! Why, what great mistakes did our master make that caused the second wife to come to the door to question me like this?"

Zhao Jia curled his lips and said, "You are his wife. What did he do? You can't help but feel free from anything? My Song'er knelt all night and was about to freeze and starve to death. He is the elder brother, and he is the younger brother who is so good, and he can still be a happy attendance!"

Because these maids in Wutongyuan are not people who like to visit and spread gossip, Chu Yu heard about Cao Song kneeling in the ancestral hall. However, she couldn't care about it. She just felt wronged for her and her husband.

It seems that this respect is wrong, and this friendship is wrong.

She stood at the door and looked at Zhao Jia and said, "Oh? Kneeling on the ancestral hall. Did the second wife hear or see it, and just say it was our master's punishment? How could the second wife ask for justice?"

Zhao Jia was speechless when asked. She was furious and came here directly in anger, without thinking about going to the ancestral hall first. But she was not a person who was willing to admit his mistakes and surrendered, muttering: "If it weren't for his brother's request, Song'er would have knelt down to his ancestors, wouldn't she have been?"

Chu Yu felt tired of standing, so he turned around and entered the house and said, "Why did the Second Master kneel to his ancestors? Others don't know, the second wife should know. Since the second wife is here, please come in. My nephew and his wife are having some housework to talk to the second wife."

Although Chu Yu was born with a noble family, he always looked gentle and soft. He never was so aggressive. Zhao Jia felt puzzled and followed the house and said, "What housework? Are you young and you can't make up your mind?"

Although Chu Yu was annoyed, he was unwilling to lack the kindness on his face. He was about to let Zhaojia sit on the kang, but Zhaojia had already sat on his own.

Chu Yu asked Xiyun to pour tea on it and asked lightly: "Mrs. Second wife has been in Beijing for more than half a year, but are she still used to living there?"

Zhao Jia felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, her expression froze and said, "Why are you talking about this? What are you used to? You are at home and not outside?"

Chu Yu lowered his head and said, "Yes, is it outside? It's just that although it's at home, I have to mention some of the words with the second wife!"

Seeing that Chu Yu treated her today, she was wondering if the two worshippers were urging her. She couldn't help but feel guilty. She said that the expenses are now all the Gongzhong, and Cao Song's salary should be returned to Gongzhong, but she asked her to put it away. Even Lumi was not asked to transport it back to the mansion, and directly searched for a shop to exchange for silver and received it. There was also the farm that Cao Yong bought for her, which came to pay for the profit in the twelfth lunar month, and there were hundreds of taels of silver.

Because the account book was backed up in Wutongyuan, Chu Yu called Xicai to get it.

The ones who returned to the Duke this year were Cao Yong's salary, including the Heshuo-e-secret prince, the third-class man, the Taipu Temple minister, the third-class guard, the total of nearly 900 taels and 900 hu of rice. Although Cao Yin also had a salary, because he was an outside official and was not withdrawn from the capital, he did not enter the Duke's account here.

Chu Yu sent the account book to Zhao Jia's eyes: "Since the second wife came to Beijing at the end of May, for more than half a year, the monthly money, two seasons of clothes, and food and drink costs have totaled more than 800 taels."

Zhao Jia didn't know her intention, and thought Chu Yu was thinking about the prospect of the Zhuangzi she had put away, so she said embarrassedly: "Aren't this children young? Who else can you rely on without relying on your brother? You have the prospect of the Zhuangzi, and you don't have this amount of money. Isn't it said that you are raising outsiders and not raising your own brothers?"

Chu Yu said, "Second Mrs., the old man is not a stingy person, and Chu Yu will not care about these things. But the second wife should remember one thing. It is necessary to support parents in the world, but she did not say that she was raising her aunt and younger brother. I don't know what happened to the old man, so the second wife mentioned the old man and had no good face. People's hearts are full of flesh. Since the second wife is like this, it is not easy for us to keep going forward. Let's go to the master Jiangnan to make a letter and let the master decide to see how the two of us live together in this house. Although there is no separation, there is no rules and etiquette. My nephew insists on making a stir with my aunt and brother!"

Chu Yu said this reasonably. Zhao Jia's face was unpredictable and she drooped her eyelids and said, "These words were said by Brother Yong. Why do you dislike us for having idle meals? Is it impossible to tolerate them?"

When Chu Yu heard her distorted words from the black and white, he was too lazy to distinguish between her. He raised his head and said, "Mrs. The second wife has been in Beijing for half a year. I think she has heard about how outsiders say the uncle? The uncle is good in everything, but she is a little 'fearing'!"

Zhao Jia snorted and said, "I am so embarrassed for a man's family that someone says this!"

"Since the second wife has heard of this, Chu Yu does not need to pretend to be virtuous in front of the second wife. Since he is so respectful, he can't change his mind. Then he can only 'public is public and private is private'." Chu Yu said softly.

Zhao Jia was so angry that she stood up and pointed at Chu Yu and said, "Is there anyone talking to the elders like this? You are still the princess from the palace, and you don't even know the elders or the seniority? I'm going to ask Brother Yonger, but I'm going to ask him in front of him, why do you let your wife do this?"

As soon as Zhao Jia finished speaking, someone heard someone say, "No need to worry, I'm back!"

It turned out that Cao Yong had just returned. He didn't enter the room because he heard something wrong inside and stood outside, but he heard it right away.

Although I don’t know why Chu Yu is so powerful today, Cao Yong is a little concerned when he hears it. The couple has treated Zhao Jia as Li’s respect for the past six months, which seems to be wrong, which makes Zhao Jia’s temper grow.

Since there was Cao Yin and his wife in the eldest house, they had no right to make decisions. They had said that they would have to look at a few small faces. It would be better if Zhao Jia was too irresistible, so they could only think of another way.
