The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Hearing what the boy said, the older girl blushed a little shyly.He stretched out his hand to receive a blue silk flower after the rain, stroked it very rare for a moment, and said inaudibly, "Thank you, Brother Zhang Hua."

Hearing this, Zhang Hua waved his hands with a smile on his face, and said, "Why is this between you and me?"

Hearing this, the girl stared at Zhang Hua for a while, then pursed her lips and smiled.He lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, and said worriedly: "I don't know what's going on inside."

Seeing this, Zhang Hua subconsciously persuaded: "Don't worry. Auntie loves you two the most on weekdays, and she will never wrong you. What's more, there are me and my father, don't be afraid."

After a pause, he continued: "I'm already in school now. My husband said that my foundation is pretty solid. After two years, I'll take the scientific examination. If I get lucky enough to be a scholar, no one will dare to bully you." .”

Although the young man is still young, he has studied and studied since he was a child. He is sensible and righteous, and he also knows what his parents ordered and the matchmaker's words.What's more, the eldest sister of the Zhao family has a gentle temperament and a beautiful appearance, more beautiful than any female family member he has usually seen.Therefore, although Zhang Hua is ignorant, he is gentle and considerate to the elder sister of the Zhao family and takes good care of her.A pair of childhood sweethearts play together like a house, and the elders are happy to see the success.

When the eldest sister of the Zhao family heard the words, she nodded in a ignorant manner, with pure trust on her face.Seeing this, Zhang Hua rubbed his head in embarrassment, it was really a childhood sweetheart.

The second sister of the Zhao family stood under the tree like a powder ball and watched with relish. She only felt that the pair of childhood sweethearts imitated adults, whispering in whispers, which was very interesting.

That Zhang Hua stood under the window, and slowly said a few words to the eldest sister of the Zhao family, but seeing the usually bright and lively younger sister of the Zhao family drooping her head and bowing her eyebrows in silence, she mistakenly thought that the little girl was I was frightened by the uproar just now.Then he smiled, stretched out his hand to touch the top of the little girl's hair, and persuaded, "Don't worry, the adults will take care of it."

The second sister of the Zhao family came back to her senses, and smiled at Zhang Hua, still a little absent-minded.

Zhang Hua sighed softly, squatted on the ground and picked up a handful of grass, and weaved nimbly for a while with his fingers. In an instant, he weaved a green and lifelike grasshopper spread out on his hand, shook it to Xiaowa, and said: Coaxed: "This is for you."

He also promised casually: "I will ask my mother to invite you to my house some other day. Let's go to Zhuangzi for a day of relaxation. Now it is late spring, and the flowers on the mountain are blooming all over the mountains and plains. You must like it."

The second sister of the Zhao family took the grasshopper in a rather speechless manner, and was about to thank her when there was another commotion in the room.Mrs. Chen's sharp voice, Mrs. Zhao's high-pitched scolding mixed with everyone's feeble persuasion made Zhang Hua stunned. He took the two girls of the Zhao family a few steps away, and said, "Why don't we go to the side hall to look for them?" My mother."

The two daughters of the Zhao family shook their heads gloomily, and stood aside with a weary look.Seeing this, Zhang Hua stopped trying to persuade them, so he sat down with the two of them on a big mountain stone, and listened quietly to the endless noise in the house.

No one expected that this trouble would last for more than two months.

Chen's Cardamom Nianhua married into Zhao's family. If you want to say that the husband and wife were also lovers and concubines at that time, they were full of honey.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao couldn't see how nice she was, so she used Chen's childlessness as an excuse to stuff two enchanting maidservants into the big house just half a year after they got married.After that, it didn't stop for a year or two, and asked Chen to set up rules and serve others.At home, Mrs. Chen is a spoiled aunt in every possible way, so naturally she is not willing to let her mother-in-law learn from her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting each other, and Mrs. Zhao could tell Mrs. Chen to stand upright and set the rules in front of her when she was pregnant with her eldest sister; Accidentally" spilled hot soup and hot rice on Mrs. Zhao's body.Later, the second-bedroom Xiaosun entered the door, not only replaced the anti-fetal medicine with abortion medicine when Chen was pregnant with her second sister, but also instigated Zhao Lin to hook up with the boss of the Zhao family to visit the brothel Chu Pavilion.He hooked Zhao Chen ten times worse than before.

At the end of the quarrel, not only did the husband and wife break up, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also turned against each other like black-eyed chickens.We are under the same roof every day, but we can't wait to eat each other's flesh and bones. There is no family affection at all.

So when the boss of the Zhao family died, the first thing Chen thought of was not the relationship between husband and wife, but to take this opportunity to leave the Zhao family.Because of this, she showed her sharpness in the conversation, not only arguing about remarriage, but also taking away a pair of daughters, her attitude was firm, and there was no sign of retreating at all.

Although Mrs. Zhao disliked the Chen family and the two daughters born to the Chen family, she cared very much about the reputation of the Zhao family.Moreover, in her opinion, it is already embarrassing for the Zhao family to let the Chen family go home and remarry under the threat of the Chen family. How can there be any reason for the Chen family to take away the Zhao family's blood?

What's more, the two daughters of the Chen family are delicate and beautiful, and they are naturally beautiful.Although Mrs. Zhao looked down on the mothers of the two girls, she still wanted to keep the two daughters in the Zhao family. In the future, they would talk about a good marriage and help the Zhao family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao is full of filial piety and etiquette, forcing Chen not to let go.Zhao Lin and Xiao Sun, the second roommates of Zhao's family, were a little blinded by money, and secretly teased Mrs. Zhao a few words, but they were scolded back by Mrs. Zhao.

"Is the Chen family's dowry important, or the face and future of our Zhao family? You are also a person who has to take the imperial examination to become an official. Why can't you tell the priorities? Do you want others to point at your spine and scold you for being money-seeking?" Come on, you only know the seriousness of your shortcomings and schemes?"

Zhao Lin and Xiao Sun were scolded by the old lady Zhao and told a lot of words "I want my daughter to marry two families and help Shuo'er and Ji'er in the future", so they were unwilling. Willing to put it aside.

It's just that Mrs. Zhao doesn't want to let go, and Mrs. Chen is even more ruthless.The two people were facing each other, and they couldn't give in.This stalemate lasted for more than two months, until the funeral was broken and the burial was over, the two were still inseparable.

The trouble made Chen's father and Chen's mother impatient.

It should be said that the Chen family's natal family was originally a family of local gentry and officials, and a son was an official in the court. Due to the reputation of ethics and ethics, Chen's father and Chen mother did not seriously agree to their daughter's remarriage.It's just that he was used to pampering his daughter since he was a child, and couldn't bear to refute her wishes.I also feel pity for my daughter's young age, beautiful face and beautiful appearance. After getting out of this sea of ​​suffering, she may not find a good one in the future.

But agreeing that her daughter will go home and remarry does not mean agreeing that her daughter will bring the two oil bottles from the Zhao family back to the Chen family.

Even if the world is getting worse, it is common for widows to remarry, but I have never heard of any widow who brings a pair of oil bottles and can find a good marriage.

After all, the world is difficult, and women are always harsher.

The earnest persuasion of Chen's father and Chen's mother is like a breeze in Chen's ears, and none of them are heard.She has been married to the Zhao family for so many years, and only such a pair of daughters are caring and sensible. Now that she wants to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, how can she have the heart to leave a pair of daughters in the Zhao family, facing tigers, leopards, and wolves?

Chen Shi was originally a naive, extremely willful person.Having made up her mind, she refused to listen to every single word of her parents, and instead started lobbying her parents earnestly.Coincidentally, the reason for saying this is also what the old lady Zhao said to persuade the second wife of the Zhao family——

It's nothing more than how beautiful the two daughters are. In the future, they can talk about the two good marriages and help the uncle's family.

One hundred families make money, Mrs. Chen talked a lot in her ears, and Chen's father and mother also listened to it.Seeing how difficult it is for the daughter to face her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law in the past two months——

Although her own daughter has a strong temper, she is really suspected of trying to show her talent.But Zhao's mother-in-law is not kind, and the sister-in-law is too disrespectful.Being so aggressive, if my daughter was a bit weaker, I'm afraid she would really die.

In other words, if the daughter really cruelly abandons a pair of daughters for her own comfort, then the situation of the eldest sister and the second sister in Zhao's family will be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth, no matter how rare it is.

Thinking of the cleverness, cleverness, considerateness and obedience of the two granddaughters, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen stopped thinking about leaving the eldest sister and the second sister at Zhao's house.

Mrs. Chen even persuaded the eldest son Chen Gui, who was working in the yamen, to return home and discuss with the Zhao family about releasing his wife and daughter.

The Zhao family knew that the matter could not be reversed when the uncle of the Chen family, who was on duty at the court, came forward.He just had hope in his heart, but still bit his tongue to death, and only said to let the Chen family go, but the Zhao family's flesh and blood could not be taken away.

The Chen family is not a person who is willing to let it go, after such an earth-shaking uproar, the Zhao family let go of the Chen family and took the second sister to leave. The eldest sister pointed it out to the Zhang family, the leader of Huangliangzhuang, because she was young, and the Zhao family wanted to borrow it. The in-laws continued to cling to the Zhang family, thinking that the eldest sister was gentle and docile, no more tricky and weird than the second sister, and did not want the eldest daughter to leave.

The abacus was very precise, but Mrs. Chen did not cooperate.The two families had been in a stalemate for a long time regarding the ownership of their heirs.In the end, he annoyed Chen Gui, the eldest brother of the Chen family, and simply used the cause of the death of the eldest brother of the Zhao family and the safety of the Zhao family as bargaining chips to force the Zhao family to write a contract and let the Chen family and their two daughters leave.

Not only that, but he also asked for half of the dowry back for his younger sister.

Inside the ancestral ancestral hall, Mrs. Zhao watched with embarrassment as the patriarch of the Zhao clan canceled the names of the eldest daughter-in-law and the two maids from the genealogy.Chen shook the two dowry slips in his hands proudly, and said to the patriarch of the Zhao clan: "In front of so many elders in the Zhao family, if the patriarch chooses one to keep, it can be regarded as my purchase for my daughter." Money. From now on, the marriage of these two girls will have nothing to do with the Zhao family."

The patriarch of the Zhao clan sighed with a livid face, and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Since it is the person in your room, it is up to you to choose."

The old lady Zhao snorted coldly, and compared the two dowry lists for a while, Fang hesitantly chose one of them.Mrs. Chen quickly pulled out the other one and stuffed it into her sleeve, and pulled her two daughters, accompanied by her parents and elder brother, out of Zhao's house proudly.

Three to five days later, news spread throughout the neighborhood that Zhao's daughter-in-law returned home with her daughter less than three months after her husband's death.
