是夜<></span>墨誉喝得醉醺醺的回来<></span>左相命人送他回西厢<></span>看着他东倒西歪的背影<></span>左相连连摇头叹息道：<></span>唉<></span>年轻人哪<></span>太实诚<></span>让喝酒就喝酒<></span>半杯都不躲<></span>不醉才怪<></span><></span>
然而<></span>这嗔怪里却也带着诸多自豪<></span>四个儿子中唯有墨誉给他长了太多的脸<></span>可才回到东院<></span>左相夫人刘桂香看到他便开始嚎啕大哭：<></span>老爷啊<></span>了不得了<></span>这府里住不得了<></span><></span>
左相一愣<></span>借着小厮提着的灯笼的光亮<></span>看清刘桂香披头散发地坐在地上蹬腿嚎哭<></span>完全不成体统<></span>左相厉声喝道：<></span>出什么事了<></span>起来话<></span><></span>
刘桂香是前夫人的使唤丫头出身<></span>性格泼辣<></span>素来要强得很<></span>白日里百里婧教训了她的媳妇<></span>闹出了那么大的动静<></span>使得相府人人自危<></span>都道婧公主不能惹<></span>再加上今日墨誉中了状元<></span>身价陡增<></span>人人都巴着他捧上了天<></span>墨问和墨誉这两个扶不上台面的小子都有了后台撑腰<></span>刘桂香的主母地位顿时落在了下风<></span>
那两个不争气的媳妇儿躺在床上只差没断气了<></span>见了她就哭哭啼啼好不委屈<></span>吵得她头疼肝疼到处都疼<></span>她的这口气已经忍了一天<></span>只等左相回来讨个公道<></span>如今左相晚归<></span>她怎么着也得把苦水全吐出来才肯罢休<></span>
<></span>哎唷<></span>老爷啊<></span>这府里要翻天了呀<></span>老大的媳妇儿杀人了<></span>这日子可怎么过啊<></span>老爷啊<></span><></span>面对左相的呵斥<></span>刘桂香仍旧坐在地上<></span>拍着大腿哭叫<></span>
当着这么多下人的面<></span>左相墨嵩面子上下不来<></span>额际青筋直跳<></span>暴喝了一声道：<></span>来人哪<></span>给我把夫人拉起来<></span>今日是相府大喜<></span>你却在这里哭丧<></span>谁死了<></span><></span>
这一声终于喝起作用了<></span>刘桂香也不要人扶<></span>自己一溜便爬起来<></span>冲到左相面前<></span>仍旧扯着尖细的嗓子哭喊：<></span>老爷<></span>老大的媳妇儿把二嫂三嫂推进河里去了<></span>差点淹死<></span>她存着心要弄死她们呢<></span>公主有什么了不起的<></span>王子犯法还与庶民同罪<></span>要是老爷不管<></span>妾身就闹到陛下那里去<></span>看看陛下管不管自己的女儿<></span><></span>
<></span>啪——<></span>
一声脆响<></span>
左相气得狠狠甩了刘桂香一巴掌<></span>嗓子发抖：<></span>无、知、愚、妇<></span><></span>
刘桂香被这一巴掌打得愣住<></span>回过神又要再哭<></span>左相喝道：<></span>闭嘴<></span>再哭我休了你<></span>陛下的女儿就是比你的媳妇儿金贵<></span>她们挨打就是活该<></span>平日里也没见她们做多少好事<></span>呵<></span>你本事还不小<></span>要告到陛下那儿去<></span>以为自己几斤几两<></span>我相府的家业迟早让你们母子败光<></span>无知愚妇<></span><></span>
重重一挥袖<></span>左相绕过她就往卧室的方向而去<></span>刘桂香半天才反应过来<></span>由闷声到撕心裂肺地哭道：<></span>既然老爷如此无情<></span>妾身也不想活了<></span><></span>
罢<></span>低着头就要往墙上撞<></span>
左相已经跨上院中的台阶<></span>听罢<></span>回头看去<></span>冷哼道：<></span>撞死了倒一了百了<></span>你要真有这份骨气<></span>你也活不到今天<></span>早八百年你就撞死了<></span>在下人面前丢人现眼<></span><></span>
毕竟是多年夫妻<></span>谁对谁没个了解<></span>刘桂香的头堪堪停在墙边两寸的地方<></span>真没敢往上撞<></span>左相哼了一声<></span>再不睬她<></span>推开房门进去了<></span>
房里侍奉他起居的大丫头替左相墨嵩脱下朝服的时候<></span>他突然想起二十多年前的往事<></span>
那时候家徒四壁<></span>穷人哪有什么亲戚<></span>身边只有一位自小结亲的妻<></span>他日日潜心读书只为考取功名<></span>吃穿用度里外事务都是发妻一人打理<></span>他的发由她来束<></span>他的衣由她来穿<></span>日子如此清苦<></span>她却从未半句抱怨<></span>
上京赶考之前<></span>发妻有了身孕<></span>她仍催促他快些上路<></span>状元及第的当日<></span>他被招为翰林院大学士的女婿<></span>耳边数不清的恭维祝贺<></span>眼前琳琅满目的珍宝<></span>还有<></span>身侧如花似玉的美貌娇妻……
