MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 11
When he arrived, as expected, he heard Ge Shi's sharp crying and scolding from the back room.
"...You are also a man, watching your wife suffer this humiliation, you don't say a word, why don't I give you a skirt and robe, and you wear it out for others to see! If you can't study, do I can't, I'm still a cripple, what else can you do?! My life is so miserable, to be cowardly like you..."
This is Cheng Cheng's bookstore, and the servants guarding the door will step forward to stop Mrs. Xiao when they see it. Mrs. Xiao was not bringing an ordinary servant girl, but a strong armed servant with a sword and a bow, and she was already a little flustered.
She hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, and said with an apologetic smile: "Miss, you..." Before she could continue, Cheng Cheng's voice came from inside.
"Enough! If you are angry, you can go back to Ge's house, and my brother will give you more gold and silver..."
"Don't think about it! When I got married, your Cheng family was in a lot of trouble. Now that your brothers have grown up, you want to abandon me, don't think about it! If you told me to go back before, I still respect you and A bit daring, why, your brother is back, you have grown courageous, you know that you are talking back to me, you are a useless waste all your life, only rely on your brother..."
Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear it any longer, and several maids stepped forward and bound Ge's maid's arm, while Mrs. Qingxian twisted Li Zhui's arm and threw it to The people behind, the courtyard made the sound of "Ouch, Ouch" one after another. Before Li Zhui and the others could shout loudly, they only heard a "bang". The door of the main residence was actually kicked open by Mrs. Xiao.
Li Zhui, whose arm was twisted, was taken aback—with Ge Shi in the Cheng family for more than ten years, Mrs. Xiao, who has always been gentle and gentle, kicked the door when she came up, but she had never seen it before. , forget the struggle.
Mrs. Xiao walked straight into the room, only to see Cheng Chengban leaning on the side of the bed, the alcohol had not dissipated, and was already shaking with anger; Ge Shi was standing opposite him, jumping and cursing. Seeing Mrs. Xiao coming in, Cheng Cheng raised his head, his face full of embarrassment, and a bit of grievance, with tears in his eyes, and said, "...Sifu..."
Mrs. Xiao felt a pain in her heart. Since she married into the Cheng family, she regarded Cheng Shi's younger siblings as her own. Cheng Xu and Cheng Xi got married, and Cheng Zhi went away to study; In fact, only Cheng Cheng helped her. Seeing that his eyes are full of withered air now, he is obviously only a few years younger than Cheng Shi, but he looks like an old man, making her hate him so much.
Mrs. Xiao didn’t say much, she motioned Mrs. Qing Li to help Cheng Cheng away, and Mrs. Ge was going to come up and entangle, Mrs. Xiao took a step forward, put a fist in her sleeve, and punched Mrs. Ge in the stomach Then, he slapped him loudly with his backhand. With such force, he directly knocked it down. When Ge Shi was about to be stunned, he sat on the ground. At this time, Mrs. Qing Li had already led people to quickly retreat and closed the door.
"You, you...!" Ge Shi's stomach was in severe pain.
Mrs. Xiao is different from Mother Cheng. She was brought up by a real scholar and noble family. For so many years, Mrs. Xiao has never even shouted loudly, but now it is so.
Mrs. Xiao's eyes were icy, and she said coldly, "I will not only beat you, but also break you!"
Ge Shi endured the pain, got up and scolded: "I won't go, the Cheng family was poor..."
"I heard everything I just said." Mrs. Xiao calmly said, "So what? Now that the Cheng family is strong and the Ge family is weak, if I want to hit you, I can hit you, and I want to leave you. Just leave you, how can you?"
She took a step forward slowly, and Ge Shi involuntarily took a few steps back, afraid that she would hit him again, and said, "You dare?! My father is kind to the Cheng family!"
"What kind of grace? Are you helping food and grass, which big family in the township and county has not donated it?" Mrs. Xiao sneered, "The adults guard the township comprehensively, so that the villagers will not fall into the fire of swords and guns. How many people have saved the lives of the family, and giving out some food, grass, wealth and silk is considered a kindness? I am afraid that Taigong Ge himself would not dare to say that he is kind to the Cheng family."
Ge shi looked at Mrs. Xiao in disbelief, and said, "How...how...everything has changed." What is it about Mrs. Xiao who is docile and gentle, speaks dignified and meticulous, and doesn't care about everything with her? Go; look changed, speech changed, even behavior changed.
Mrs. Xiao looked at her coldly and did not speak.
Ge Shi understood a little, gritted his teeth and said: "In those years you made a good appearance in a low voice, Jun Au can't do anything about you, Jun Jun praised you for being gentle and virtuous until death, it is the blessing of the Cheng family , before dying, scolding Jun-gu in front of so many people for not embarrassing you, you, you are good at acting...!"
Talk back, I will endure it, what if I have endured it for more than ten years, I will endure it until today, and then I will settle the account with you.”
Ge Shi was shocked and apprehensive, and then he said again: "How are you doing? Just leave me."
"Nothing." Mrs. Xiao walked slowly to Ge's side and said, "Actually, you thought about remarrying many years ago."
Gursley was taken aback.
Mrs. Xiao continued to speak to herself: "The first time was when you were newly married for two months, and you provoked the second brother to start a new business, raise another banner, and use your dowry as military capital. Make a career, don't you? But the second brother refused, you angrily went back to your parents' house to live for more than ten days, and asked the family to choose a son-in-law for you and marry another, right or not?"
Gr. was frightened and blurted out: "How do you know..." Then he quickly shut up.
Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "You always say that I have a good life and marry a hero. If you have the ability, you can marry one yourself. If you really find a good one, Taigong Ge will not stop me. You, take a look at what you have chosen. What is the 'Zhenshan King', what is the 'Baoze Shengtian Emperor', didn't you secretly ask the servants to inquire about it. Hmph, everything is only a few months old. They had people beheaded, all the birds and beasts dispersed, and the poor concubines and sisters were taught to divide them up. Those who were more beautiful were better, but there were always people who wanted them. People with ordinary appearance, I don’t know if they were full of food and grass or camp girls. Zhi; and that Chen County slaughter..."
"You don't have to say it!" Ge Shi shouted, his face flushed, embarrassed and angry. The secrets of many years ago were almost forgotten by myself, but today they are suddenly called out, as if they were stripped away.
Mrs. Xiao did not let her go, and continued: "After this time, you have been honest for a while, and finally you know that fighting is a big event in the world, not a joke. But soon after giving birth to the second lady, Your mind is alive again. Well, I think about it... You were so honest before, probably because you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to give birth..."
Gursley was angry, but did not dare to speak back. She married into the Cheng family and had not conceived for several years. At that time, Mother Cheng's face was not very good-looking, and Mrs. Xiao gave birth one by one. Except for the eldest lady who died early, the last two were strong and round men. No one outside would praise Mrs. Xiao as a family-raising woman, and she couldn't raise her head even more against the background. At that time, she was only afraid that she would have shortcomings in her body, and she would not get better even if she remarried, of course, she died.
Mrs. Xiao went on with great interest: "Not long after you gave birth to the second lady, you said you wanted to take care of your body, so you went back to the Ge family. Now, I only bothered my father and brother to choose a good son-in-law for you to remarry. Actually, I know what you mean, you just want to push me, but later, will you get your wish?"
Of course it didn't come true, otherwise, how could Gurney be standing here at the moment.
Gursham was very angry. After giving birth to the second wife, the world's heroes have almost formed a climate. It is not like those who occupy the mountains as kings and start small troubles. In the countryside, where can you find heroes and heroes to marry. There are noble families of high-level families, but they are concubines, and Ge Shi naturally refuses, so there is still some ambition; but if you marry an ordinary person, it is not as good as Cheng Cheng, at least Cheng Shi is about to get ahead. Ge Shi spent half a year at her mother's house without success, and returned to Cheng's house unwillingly.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Ge Shi, and did not hide her contempt, and said: "You are such a half-hearted and stupid woman, and it is because of your second brother's kindness and kindness that you are allowed to come this far, you still think you are capable Great, can't you tame the second brother?!... We will move the house in three days, so don't move, stay here and wait for the Ge family to come."
Ge Shi was shocked, and his lips trembled: "Come, come here...? You have already gone to my house..."
Thinking that Mrs. Xiao was watching her many years ago and secretly writing down her every move, she felt a chill in her heart, and when she heard this, she was filled with fear. Knowing that Cheng Shi and his wife are really going to move themselves this time.
What now? What to say? Do you want to marry Cheng Cheng? What should I do after the divorce and return home - Ge Shi was so flustered that she didn't know how to say it.
Mrs. Xiao no matter what Ge Shi was thinking, she just sneered a few times, walked slowly to the door, halfway through, stopped suddenly and turned around and said, "How many times have you wanted to remarry? I can't get married; I promise you here that one day my second brother breaks up with you, I will marry him a virtuous and beautiful wife in the next month, and I will never make him suffer any more grievances." Keep going out.
Ge was really frightened, and when he was dizzy, he suddenly shouted: "I didn't treat the fourth lady harshly!" The sound shook the door slightly.
Mrs. Xiao turned back again, looked at her coldly, and looked at her indifferently. Ge Shi kept shrinking from her gaze.
After a long time, Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly: "It's cold today, and Qingzhou is a long way to go. I wonder if your mother Fu has set off?"
These words were thoughtless, Ge Shi didn't understand for a while, looked up and saw the irony on the corner of Mrs. Xiao's mouth, her heart was agitated, and she became wiser for the first time, and said, "Could it be that Mother Fu has been with you? Collusion…”
Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "Your brother is very ambitious, and you are not willing to live your life. When you were young, you wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. Unfortunately, when you were young, you couldn't get on horses because of illness. After that, you wanted to do business and reclaim land. Come and prosper the family business. It’s all a family, and I always have to help.”
Gursley shivered all over, not knowing whether it was anger or fear, thinking of what happened over the years, he thought 'no wonder'.
Mrs. Xiao showed a slightly conceited look on her face, and said, "Otherwise, why would Mrs. Wan always come to Cheng's house 'just in time'."
Ge Shi slumped on the ground, unable to believe that her mother Fu would betray her like this, her whole body was piercingly cold - no wonder Mrs. Wan always wanted to do something when she made up her mind Come and beat for a while.
Mrs. Xiao added: "She has been staring at you for ten years for me, and she is very experienced in doing things. Unfortunately, just a month before I came back, she was busy packing up the house and preparing to move her family, so she With such a little negligence, you will be seriously ill and almost die!" Speaking of the last four words, there was a sense of sternness in his voice.
Ge Shi jumped up in fear: "No, no, I didn't, I didn't think about it... I really didn't know that Si Niangzi would be so ill, I, I, I didn't mean to..."
Ge's mouth stubbornly said: "What can you do to me, the big deal is that I won't be your Cheng family wife!"
Mrs. Xiao looked at her quietly, she saw Ge Shi’s hair was covered in hair, she shut her mouth embarrassingly; she knew that Mrs. Xiao was different from herself, she had followed Cheng Shidong’s expedition for more than ten years, and she was ordinary Touching the chaotic people, investigating and doing meticulous work, the hands are actually stained with human blood.
& nbsp; There is always someone you love and care for in the world, and I will return it well!"
After saying this, don't look back and go out the door, ignoring Ge's scolding behind.
The courtyard in the afternoon was warmly and beautifully lit by the winter sun. The servants and maids of Ge Shi who were originally in the courtyard were nowhere to be seen, and there were two rows of servants standing around the porch. Mrs. Xiao stood under the porch and instructed Qing Li, who was approaching her, "Take care of her. Seeing that she is about to move, don't let her ruin the righteousness of the zodiac!"
Qing Li knew what she meant and said with a smile: "Don't worry, ma'am, either my concubine looked down on Madam Zhong or gave her a knife, and she was reluctant to commit suicide."
Madam Li quickly held back her laughter and said, "What the lady said is true."
After holding back for a while, Mrs. Xiao laughed first, and after laughing, she sighed: "I hated my heart at the beginning, but I have been with the general for the past ten years and I have seen it outside. There are so many tragedies in the world, these are nothing." After thinking for a while, he shook his head, consciously amused.
Walking around the corridor back to the house, I saw that Cheng Shi had already sobered up and was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, not knowing what to look for, Mrs. Xiao didn’t ask him, just walked Sitting down by the bed, Qing Li hurriedly helped her remove the brocade cotton robe from her body, and then went out to find hot water for Madam Xiao to wash and remove makeup.
Cheng Shi gathered the open scorpion, looked up and said in surprise, "You're back so soon?"
Mrs. Xiao glared at him and said proudly: "It's a matter of a few words, there's nothing to delay, it's not a negotiation between the two armies before the battle. I've already taken care of her. The children moved out with us. Keep her locked up and see what the Ge family has to say." After a while, she sighed again: "...I only tried it when I berated Ge Shi, and she still doesn't know it."
"The Ge family hasn't said anything to this day?" Cheng Shi was shocked again.
He stopped rummaging and sat beside Mrs. Xiao before saying, "...Ge Taigong is a good man. His leg was broken to save me..." He After a pause, "It should be because he was afraid that Ge Shi knew about it, and he was even more unscrupulous about his second brother, so the Taigong deliberately didn't say it."
Mrs. Xiao looked down at the bright wooden floor and said in a low voice, "...It's all mine."
Cheng Shi sighed: "I can't blame you for this, you are the only one time in your life to look away. It's also the thief surnamed Chen who is too good at acting. We all believed him and were almost conspiring. life."
Mrs. Xiao felt sad in her heart and said in a low voice, "Our husband and wife are both selfish people. For this kindness, knowing that Ge Shi is inappropriate, she still kept her, and the second brother was wronged. "
Cheng Shi slammed the edge of the bed and said bitterly: "When you and I were there, how could Ge Shi be so domineering, and we are not at home, she is in control inside and out, plus my mother Cover up, she became more and more arrogant."
While talking, he got up again and continued to rummage through the cabinets, and said, "To repay your kindness, you have to use other methods, and you can't take the second brother for a lifetime. Taigong Ge is not alone. Girl, there are so many children and grandchildren, there is always something that can be of use to us, and we will never refuse. It's good to beat him hard for his own inappropriateness, but he's kind-hearted and soft-hearted... Well, it's because of his bad legs that he is so contemptuous. When you see the big world, just tell him to be tougher... Hey, I'm obviously staying by my side, where did I go..."
"...I didn't just miss this one time."
Mrs. Xiao didn't know what happened in the past, Cheng Shi turned back to look at him, only to see Mrs. Xiao smiling slightly, and said: "In the first marriage, I chose Langjun myself, and then left big eyes."
Mrs. Xiao burst out laughing, brushing her sleeves and stroking her reddish cheeks, making her even more beautiful, she only heard her whisper, "It's in your quiver."
Cheng Shi shook his head and asked curiously, "How do you know what I'm looking for?"
Cheng Shi pretended to think hard for a moment, and said: "Well, that's it. I said, with Ge Shi's troubles at home these years, she should have broken her legs and rested. For the sake of your old age now, it's just a matter of retiring."
