Chapter 57: Brother and Sister-in-law
Later, when the Chahar Mongols came to attack, the errand that would have died also fell on his head, if he still had that fiery temper, who would dare to bully him like this?
When this topic was mentioned, both of them felt uncomfortable, and the atmosphere became stagnant.
Or did Dong Ce break the deadlock first and said with a smile: "Mother, tell you about what happened these days?" It also lets you know how the child was born to be the way it is. ”
Qiao's head was said yes.
Dong Ce talked about it carefully, from the death of Sun Ruhu, to the violent beating of Sun Liuzi, to the lotus flower in the official hall, bribing Xu Rujian in exchange for an official position, and all the way to the recent bloody war to build slaves, great victories and so on.
Qiao Shi listened quietly on the side, and let out a chuckle of praise, obviously very satisfied with this son. She already knew that Dong Ce had changed a lot, but she didn't expect that her son had been reborn. As for Dong Ce's attribution of the reason to the Night Dream Godman, she didn't doubt it, after all, people in this era always trust this kind of strange and chaotic thing.
However, when she heard that Sun Ruhu drowned to death, she smiled meaningfully, obviously knowing what role her son played in it.
But in any case, I am always very relieved that my son has grown up, but also has a matter of his own.
After a while, Wang Tong and others came back, Wang Hun and Zhou Zhong each carried a 'one' book of 'reading' novels ybdu big red lacquered food box in their hands, the food box was opened, and a strong aroma came out of it, which made people have a great appetite.
Wang Tong smiled: "Boss, I took a turn in this Lingyidu, and I found out that the food in this Jin Chu Building is the best, and it is really full of customers, but when the boss saw us, he let us in, saying that you are a big influence, a good man who kills Tartars, you can't let us wait." Do you taste it? ”
The food box was opened, and there were three layers, and the dishes inside were brought out one by one, and there were more than twenty dishes, and soon a single table was filled, and there were many on the stove. The dishes are very hearty, and they are all quite expensive, garlic mutton, pot meat, lamb ribs......
Qiao's hard life was used to it, and he couldn't help but feel very distressed, and said, "This costs a lot of money, right?" Erlang, do I know that you are an official, and you don't have much military salary, and you have to deduct a lot of money from those dog officials......"
"Mother, don't worry." Dong Ce smiled mysteriously: "The child has the ability to make money, but there is one!" ”
Qiao Shi stopped talking.
Shi Jin leaned over again and whispered: "The corpse is still there, I inquired, many leading figures, all came to see it, but they didn't say anything." ”
Dong Ce nodded slightly.
Along the way, there were many things, and everyone was hungry, so they began to eat. Dong Ce and Qiao's were at the same table, and Shi Jin and the others adhered to the etiquette of their subordinates, but they were standing on the edge of the stove - no way, this poor family only had two stools - but the meal was sumptuous, and it was also a great feast.
Dong Ce hesitated a few times during the banquet, and finally spoke: "Mother, big brother, how long has it been since I came to see you?" ”
As soon as he heard the word 'big brother', Qiao's face suddenly sank, and the chopsticks slapped heavily on the table, saying, "Don't mention that rebel!" ”
Dong Ce ate silently and stopped talking, but a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
The eldest brother is the eldest brother, but although the two are siblings, the relationship is extremely bad. Since he was a child, his eldest brother has been bullying him in private, scolding him, and his eldest brother is also clever, and he can always make a brotherly and brotherly hypocrisy in front of his parents, so that his parents can't know his true face at all.
Later, as soon as his father died, he exposed his true colors, occupied Lingyidu's family mansion, drove Dong Ce to Shilipu, and let him top the hereditary military household in the family, and he was happy to live a good life. If that's all there is to it, that's all, just a few months ago, he had kicked his mother out as well, so that she had to take refuge in this little courtyard that could not shelter from the wind and rain.
How can you swallow this evil breath?
He pretended to be a little relieved halfway and gave Shi Jin and Wang Tong a look.
Both of them were clever people, and they quickly got up and followed.
went out and went around to the side, Dong Ce whispered a few words, and the two of them went as ordered.
Dong Ce continued to go back to eat with his mother, talking and laughing, Qiao's had not seen Dong Ce for many days, and he was in a good mood, so he actually ate a bowl of rice.
After a while, there was a sudden noise outside, with the shrill noise of women and the muffled scolding of men.
"What's going on, I'll take a look." Dong Ce stood up and wanted to go out.
"Come on, don't pretend." Qiao Shi smiled faintly: "Since they are all invited, then come in!" ”
Dong Ce smiled, he also knew that he couldn't hide this little bit from his mother, so he no longer hid it, and said with a smile: "Mother, you really know everything." ”
He raised his voice outside, "Bring it in!" ”
Outside answered yes, and then two men and a woman walked in, the two men were Shi Jin and Wang Tong, and the one walking in front was a woman in her thirties. This woman is quite delicate, but her eyes are slender, her lips are thin, and her cheekbones are a little high. She was wearing a green skirt, a blue shirt on top, and beaded flowers and gold hairpins on her head, which looked quite high-end and luxurious, and obviously had a good family background.
This person is Dong Ce's sister-in-law, Qian.
He hadn't seen Qian for a few days, but he still recognized it at a glance, and this mean aspect was rare. He glanced at the pearl cui on Qian's body, and then looked at the coarse cloth clothes on his mother's body, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing Qian, her mother's face was suddenly a little displeased.
Shi Jin hugged his fists and said, "My lord, your brother is not at home, and the two of us invited your sister-in-law." ”
He looked a little uneasy, Dong Ce smiled slightly: "It's okay, anyway, my brother's family is also my sister-in-law's house." ”
"Don't drag me, I'll go by myself!" Qian shook her hand in disgust, glared at Shi Jin and Wang Tong fiercely, and when she turned her head and looked at Dong Ce again, she suddenly put on a full smile and said enthusiastically: "Ouch, Hanchen is back, sister-in-law has heard about it, you are very good now!" ”
She looked at Dong Ce with complicated feelings in her heart.
This little uncle, she used to bully a lot, and she still remembered that just three days after her father-in-law died, she drove this little uncle out of the house with her own man and drove him to Shilipu. Originally, it was good to allow Dong Ce to go home and carry fifty catties of dry food every month, but when Dong Ce came back for the first time, he asked him to give a burst of insults and beat him out. After that, every time this little uncle came back, she didn't have a good face.
Coincidentally this time, when Dong Ce came back, she happened to go out to buy vegetables, so she understood the whole process.
After reading it, he fled back home in a panic, and what he was most worried about was: This little uncle is developed, will he settle accounts after the autumn?
As a result, I was afraid of something, and before I ate, two soldiers broke into the house, saying that the adults were invited......
How did Qian know what was waiting for him? Naturally, she was very reluctant to come, she was playing tricks and pleading softly, but these two men didn't care at all, they just forced her to come.
Seeing Dong Ce's expressionless face at this time, she just beat a drum in her heart.
Dong Ce said lightly: "What about Dong Xu? ”
Dong Xu is his brother, but Dong Ce calls him by his name like this, obviously he doesn't treat him as a brother anymore.
Qian's body trembled, and he forced a smile: "Erlang, look at what you said, he is your brother after all, how can he be a younger brother and call him by his name......"
Dong Ce frowned, and said coldly: "I ask you, what about others?" ”
Qian Shi trembled, didn't dare to speak more, and complained in a low voice: "That dead ghost, I don't know where to gamble...... I went out early in the morning, and I couldn't find anyone here. ”
Dong Ce looked at Shi Jin, and Shi Jin nodded slightly.
"Dong Xu doesn't care where he goes, anyway, he is there, and you are the one who makes the decision in this house." Dong Ce said lightly: "The title deed of the twenty acres of watered land at home, can you bring it to me?" ”
"What?" Qian exclaimed: "You want land?" ”
Dong Ce's face pulled, and he said coldly: "At the beginning, you husband and wife deceived me when I was young and occupied the family property, if that's all there is, then that's it, and I don't care about you." But you don't even support your mother, you are really heinous and deserve to be killed! If it weren't for the feelings of the past, I would have taught you and your wife a lesson today, why are you still unwilling to hand over the property? ”
"It's not that I don't want to." Qian smiled bitterly: "All the foundations in our family have been lost by your brother!" Those watered fields have long belonged to other people's families, and not only that, but even the family's mansion is about to be taken away......"
Dong Ce frowned: "Tell me more details, what's going on?" ”
Qian said it carefully, and Dong Ce sorted out the context.
It turned out that after driving his younger brother and mother out of the house, Dong Xu's family's huge mansion and 20 acres of good water irrigated the land, and this day immediately became rich and prosperous. He didn't have much to do, and he didn't know when, but he became obsessed with gambling. Since then, it has been out of control, at first it was a small gamble of a few big coins and a dozen copper coins, and then it became a big gamble, and some time ago, it was won by someone who watered the 20 acres of land.
In retrospect, Dong Xu also knew that he had fallen into the dealer's misdeeds and fell into the game, but the person who opened the casino was also quite powerful, and he couldn't afford to provoke it, so he had to admit it.
lost the real estate, and after returning home, he was beaten down by the Qian family, and the Qian family even had an awkward relationship with him and went back to his parents' house for a while. Dong Xu also stopped for a while, but after a few days, he couldn't hold back again, and secretly got into the casino, wanting to win back what he lost.
As a result, this time, the house was also lost.
It's time to sell my daughter-in-law directly.
