The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

The spring is like this in March, and the peach blossoms in the yard are clustered together, enchanting and delicate, and they are in full bloom.A gust of breeze blew by, the branches of the peach blossoms trembled, and pieces of peach petals flew all over the sky like snowflakes, covering people's sight.Under the overlapping flower branches, stood two girls dressed in white filial piety side by side. The older one was about seven or eight years old, with curved willow leaves and red phoenix eyes. His complexion was soft and gentle, and his beauty was faintly visible.The younger one is about four or five years old, not tall enough, and described as small, but she can also tell that her features are delicate and Yuxue is cute.

At this moment, the two little children were holding hands, quietly standing under the window under the cover of the peach blossom branches, quietly eavesdropping on the conversation of the adults in the room.

"...His sister-in-law Mingjian, Shuo'er is the flesh and blood that fell from me. I worked so hard to pull him to the age of 14. I didn't intend to adopt him as a son to others. It's just Poor big brother left suddenly, and there are only two daughters in your eldest house, and there is no man who can support the family, so I cut the flesh—”

"Bah." Chen pinched her waist with both hands, her pretty face was tense, her willow eyebrows were erected, her phoenix eyes were round, and she stood in the middle of the ground with her arms and sleeves rolled up, and spat on Xiao Sun's face: "Say It's better than the singing, and it's not about coveting our big family. If you really think about our big family, why would you make a fuss in my husband's mourning hall? Adopted children have grown up with milk since childhood, even if they are not their own, they still have the grace of nurturing. You are good, you don’t pick the little ones who don’t remember things, but put a wild bastard who knows everything about people at the age of [-] or [-] into my house. No It's just that I can't control the child when he grows up, has ideas, and knows his father and mother. I thought that I would have to swallow my anger, and watched you instigate this wolf cub to move the things in the big house. Go to the second room, take the three of us out of the way, and let you do what you want. Pooh, don't be so full of gold and silver mixed with shit, just care about your own wishes. If you really think that the old lady is dough for you to knead, then it's a wrong idea. I really made my old lady anxious, I have the ability to take out your bezoar and dog treasure in advance, and then make him shake the world. If I don't poke a hole in the sky, I'm not your grandma Chen."

After Chen Youyou finished speaking, she even spat bitterly on the ground.

Xiao Sun, who was wiping her eyes and tears, was overwhelmed by Chen's words, and immediately faltered with a red face.He reached out to wipe the saliva off his face, stood aside with a embarrassed expression, and looked at the old lady sitting at the head for help.

A room full of men and women, young and old, was so scolded by Mrs. Chen that they couldn't save their faces.Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting at the top, saw that she didn't look like her, and she couldn't help but persuaded: "I said, eldest daughter-in-law, you are too powerful. How can this room full of clan elders allow you to be so presumptuous. You are not happy. Sit down and talk."

Mrs. Chen sneered, turned her head and said to Mrs. Zhao: "The old lady is very right. But the elders of the clan are full of people in this room. If there is a room for me to sit down and talk, I'd better stand."

After finishing speaking, he pointed at the Zhao family members who were all over the room and sneered, "It's a pity that my family member died too early, leaving us orphans, widows, mothers and wives to be bullied. Now I'm standing and talking, and I'm almost gone." If I really sit down, I’m afraid I’ll be swallowed alive by you.”

Father Chen and Mrs. Chen, who had been sitting in silence all the time, listened, afraid that Mrs. Chen's quick talk would annoy the whole Zhao family, so they couldn't help but stop the conversation: "Big girl, you should talk about what you are talking about, don't gossip like this." Yes, I told others to see her, and thought our daughter of the Chen family had no tutor."

Unconvinced, Chen raised her eyebrows, her red lips curled fiercely, but she didn't say anything else.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to the Chen couple on the side: "Zhao Chen has passed away, and there is no successor for the eldest family. It is also out of good intentions in our family that we want to adopt one for the eldest family." Male, lest the eldest family’s bloodline be cut off. The reason why I chose Shuo’er from the second family’s family is because the second family and the eldest family are siblings, and the relationship is closer, so I don’t have any other ideas. Don’t worry too much about the in-laws. .Whoever inherits the incense of Dafang, he must serve Gaotang with full filial piety. If not, our clan will not spare him."

The second room, Zhao Lin and Mrs. Sun, also nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

Chen still sneered, as if she was not moved at all.Pointing to the half-sized boy who was a head taller than Xiao Sun, he cursed: "You group of phlegm-obsessed, fat-greased bastards. Are you just thinking about the benefits of getting big houses and even losing your reputation?" No more. It’s a good thing you guys figured out how to get such a young man with a full-blooded body to spend day and night with me, a widow. Outsiders saw me, not to mention that I found a son, but thought I had found a wild man to fool around with. This sewage I can't afford it, you give up as soon as possible."

What he said made everyone in the room change color suddenly, Zhao Shuo, a middle-aged man, blushed, turned around and ran out.The other members of the Zhao family were also pale with anger, pointing at Chen Shi tremblingly, unable to speak at all, and the old lady Zhao even clutched her chest, crying and crying.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen were also dumbfounded, and quickly scolded: "Nonsense. You are a daughter's family with no fault of your own. Why do you blurt out such shameless words?"

Mrs. Chen didn't take it seriously when she heard Father Chen's scolding, and said nonsense, "I just said it in a bad way. If you insist on doing this, even worse things will happen in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

The patriarch of the Zhao clan threatened with a gloomy face: "If that's the case, it's not an exaggeration to tie you up to Chen Tang, a pig cage."

Chen raised her eyebrows and looked sideways at the patriarch of the Zhao clan, and said with a cold snort and contempt: "My old lady, I wasn't scared when I was a child. Anyway, you have rotten intestines and dark hearts, and you have already counted on it for the things of the big house. Back then When I was pregnant with my second sister, I didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. The second room was afraid that I would give birth to a boy and let the first room have a future, so they secretly changed my anti-abortion medicine for abortion medicine. Fortunately, I am blessed I didn't take that bowl of medicine. It was like this in the past, but now that our master is gone, you don't want to put me to death? Huh, don't be too complacent, if you really tear your face, I won't be afraid to make an ugly show Mao Lai pierces this layer of window paper, and will never disappoint your plan?"

What he said made everyone in the Zhao family even more frightened.Everyone knew that Mrs. Chen was very conscientious in what he said and did, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him.This one says sister-in-law, you must not get angry, and that one talks about adopting, we can have a long-term plan...

Mrs. Chen stood there with her arms folded and didn't make a sound. She looked coldly at the lack of arrogance of the Zhao family and the dodging appearance of the second and third couple, and laughed disdainfully.

It's really daring to be so ambitious and daring to make up her mind.

In the end, Mrs. Zhao made a final decision with a headache: "Since that's the case, Shuo'er will not be allowed to adopt, and it will be changed to Ji'er in the second room."

Zhao Ji is the youngest son of the second-bedroom Xiaosun family. At the beginning of this year, he just served the full moon wine. He is just a baby in his infancy.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Zhao with a full face of reluctance, hoping that she would change her mind.Mrs. Zhao turned a blind eye hard-heartedly, and persuaded Xiao Sun: "Give the little one to your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law can feel at ease."

But they are not at ease.Because the old lady has been partial to the youngest son, the eldest and the second wife have long been in the same situation.Now Zhao Ji is being coerced by everyone to adopt under Dafang's name.It's hard to guarantee Chen's grievances are hard to appease, and he expresses his grievances on Ji'er.As parents, they can never watch their own flesh and blood being abused by others.Zhao Shuo is better, he is old and strong, and he is not afraid that Mrs. Chen will treat him badly.

Mrs. Zhao frowned, seeing her younger son and Mrs. Sun eagerly jumping out to object, she felt a burst of disappointment in her heart. She felt that the young couple was a bit confused, but she didn't want to lose this rare opportunity. Opportunity, let others pick up the leak, can only vaguely mention: "We all live in the same house, look down and see you, you can't bear anything."

Before Xiao Sun could speak, Mrs. Chen sneered again and again, and continued to criticize: "It's a good idea. Use my first wife's money to support the son of the second room for nothing, and wait until the boy grows up to join forces to provoke us." Mother and child disagree. In the end, people and things are still yours. Wishful thinking is jingling, but unfortunately I am not an idiot."

Mrs. Zhao glared at Mrs. Chen impatiently, and said forcefully: "Then what do you want? This matter is also due to your unsatisfactory stomach. After giving birth to two daughters in a row, you can't give birth to a son. As long as you can give birth I will not make such a bad move if my son inherits the incense for Dafang."

Mrs. Chen didn't give in at all, and said tit-for-tat: "Old lady, don't use this to run me down. I can't live up to my son, but I still have two daughters anyway. Your son will be married within half a year and you will be married." Moth, a concubine on the left and an aunt on the right ran into his room, and finally died of exhaustion without giving birth to a son. It can be seen that the failure to give birth to a son has nothing to do with me. His son died."

The old lady Zhao, who was so strong in one sentence, was almost out of breath, patting her chest desperately and coughing.Father Chen who was sitting quietly at the side saw that he didn't like it, so he had to scold his daughter again: "You must be pleasant and gentle when talking to your elders, lest people say that our old Chen's family is not well educated."

But he didn't say that Chen's words were wrong.Thinking about it, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen were also angry at the Zhao family's behavior of making trouble and threatening their daughter in the son-in-law's mourning hall, and they were very unhappy.

Seeing that the matter froze up, the patriarch of the Zhao clan felt a little regretful in his heart. He shouldn't have softened his heart for a while and listened to Mrs. Zhao's instigation to come and participate in this shitty matter.The benefits are not reaped, and the sight of it provokes a show.The patriarch of the Zhao clan frowned. He didn't take it seriously when he heard that the daughter-in-law of the Dafang family was difficult and aggressive.I thought that a little girl could be so powerful even if she was sloppy, but now it seems that this woman is more difficult to deal with than that messy rogue.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan sighed, and asked the Chen clan bravely: "Since you object to this and disagree to that, then it depends on you, how to make it happen."

Chen shi hugged her shoulders and looked at everyone carefully, and said in a shocking voice: "I want to remarry."
