Chapter 39 Each has his own thoughts, Xiaoju Fangchen

The old lady smiled and was kowtowed by the younger generation. She quickly asked Mrs. Hou to reward her. Each person was given a kit containing small gold ingots and a seat, but she held Yichen in one hand and beautiful scenery in the other hand, and let the two sisters sit beside her.

Looking at Yichen, holding the heavy square, and being dressed as a big girl, I couldn't help thinking of my eldest daughter who passed away. There was a little astringency in her smile. Looking at the beautiful scenery, although she still had two buds, a childish appearance of a little girl, between her eyebrows, she became more and more similar to the eldest daughter, and her eyes turned red.

Asked repeatedly about the daily life of the two sisters, the old lady ignored the other little women at all.

Sanniang is used to it - she was originally just a concubine. Besides, Mrs. Hou has always not liked her mother, and even Liu Niang is not treated, not to mention her, so she just sat quietly with her eyes down and maintained the lady's manner.

Ba Niang's child's heart is self-interested and whispers with the Houfu women.

Siniang only regards herself as a guest.

Liu Niang didn't care. She sat upright. Someone talked to her, only responding to a simple "good", "yes" and "en", or a less enthusiastic smile.

Jiang's eyes saw that Liu Niang was neglected, and her dissatisfaction swelled more and more. At present, her sister is the wife of Wei Guo, and Liu Niang is also a fake direct descendant. How can her mother-in-law not treat her as a granddaughter? After sitting for a while, he asked Liu Niang without saying anything, "Where's your mother? Why didn't you come with me?"

Liu Niang was stunned. Her mother was too busy to escape. She had already returned to her ancestral home, but her second aunt didn't know?

"My mother was not free, so today my eldest brother and second brother sent us here." After being stunned, Liu Niang simplified her answer.

Yichen quickly smiled and said, "Grandma's birthday is approaching, and many things in the family are inseparable from my mother's conduct. Before leaving, my mother also told us to talk more with my grandmother and do filial piety for her."

The relationship between grandmother and stepmother was not good, and Ichen was aware of it and only tried her best to say good words for her stepmother.

Jiang's face is pale: "If you want to say a word of filial piety, it depends on our mother. On New Year's holidays, the gifts of filial piety to our mother are the most generous, which makes us daughters-in-law ashamed. Even such a noble person as the eldest princess has to praise her for her virtuousness and filial piety. Look at how good Chen'er is to be ** by her mother."

Of course, it refers to the Duke's wife Huang.

Mrs. Houfu has two legitimate daughters. The eldest daughter left early. The youngest daughter is far away from Zuohai now. Don't say that she can't return to peace during the New Year. Even if it is a gift, it can only be called sloppy compared with Huang's. However, Huang's family is a cow and a horse. When the eldest sister's children are like kissing, she is even more filial to Mrs. Tai, but she has become The unpopular one, Jiang is really very untiful for his sister-in-law.

The old lady was immersed in the sadness of mourning her deceased daughter. She listened to this coldly and almost became angry. She finally couldn't help it and only glanced at Jiang: "The word filial piety is the duty of being a woman, a woman and a daughter-in-law. If my mother can do this, it is not in vain for me to teach her."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little deadlocked, Mrs. Hou sweated coldly and quickly changed the topic: "Since Xing'er is here, why don't you come in with you?"

Yi Jing immediately answered and said, "Brothers are going to visit the eldest uncle first. Of course, they will come to greet their grandmothers and aunts later. Grandmother, I heard that the fourth cousin has also been admitted to the National Prison. Wouldn't they become a classmate with the eldest brother in the future?"

Speaking of this grandson, the old lady suddenly smiled. Although the second master has three sons and the youngest is 13 years old, no one can be admitted to the national son's prison. There are still two legitimate grandchildren. Not to mention the prince, after passing the examination of the national son's supervisor, he has now become an official, and Silang has successfully passed the primary examination, waiting for Sanfu After that, Qiu Xue can also enter Guozi to listen to the lecture.

Jiang only thought that she had three sons in a row, but none of them could handle it. It was just a waste of food.

The old lady will ignore Jiang again.

There was another laugh and noise in the room. Only Jiang felt depressed and secretly stared at the scenery - this little conscienceless mother treated her so well. Chen'er also wanted to say a few words for her mother-in-law. This girl only wanted to coax the old pious woman!

Everyone didn't pay attention, but Sanniang found Jiang's resentment. She looked at Jiang for a while, Yijing for a while, and smiled.

When the two brothers Su Xing and Su Wei came over, the old lady couldn't help but ask for warmth again. After talking about Tianlun in the morning, she let the younger generation go to Jiang Yue's yard to have fun.

Jiang Yue couldn't sit still for a long time, so she got a "go" pardon order from the old lady. She hurried forward and took Yijing's hand and took her to trot to Mulanyuan. Huang's Wu Niang and Liu Niang were older. They only shook their heads with a smile and accompanied Yichen and other cousins to walk behind.

There are four brothers, only the second brother, but there are three lively sons under his knees.

Jianninghou has only one son, but has a total of seven daughters. The first four have been married. The fifth mother and the sixth mother are still waiting in the boudoir. Eleventh mother is only learning language in Yaya and can't come out to treat guests. The fourth cousin mentioned by Jijing in front of him is the eldest brother of Qi Niang Jiang Yue and the eldest son of the third master of the Hou family; the fourth master has only one son under his knees. At this time, it is not yet the general corner.

No wonder the wife of a concubine of the Jiang family dares to show off her power. Her son is more than the sum of the three legitimate sons of Mrs. Tai. In addition, the sister of the second master and one mother has become the step-in-law of the Duke of Wei. The scenery of their house is not as beautiful as Master Hou. The second master is now the subordinate of the prince of the East Palace, although It is said that the grade is not high, but it is also a little important. When the prince ascends the throne... With a son-in-law like Duke Wei as a backer, it is not impossible for Jianning to change the title in the future.

As soon as the younger generation left, Jiang rubbed his eyebrows and shouted hotly.

The old lady couldn't stand her appearance, frowned, said a few reprimands coldly, and dismissed her away. The third lady was also worried about her daughter's birthday banquet and was a little restless. The old lady simply let her leave with the fourth lady, leaving her eldest daughter-in-law to talk to her: "Jing'er is getting bigger and bigger, and her eyebrows are more and more like Wan Niang."

I just said a sentence, and the corners of my eyes were red: "Wanniang is a ungrateful person. I went there early. In those years, I also wanted to go wrong. There were some strange in-laws who were not take good care of... There was only Juan Niang's daughter left. Of course, I had to think carefully for her. No matter how good my aunt was, I really couldn't bear to let Juan Niang be a step-in-law's room... This made the little woman cheaper. Raising, poor my Juanniang is not doing well now. Why do you think their two sisters have such a hard life?

This is difficult for Mrs. Hou to answer.

At the beginning, my mother, a common daughter, had a good temperament. Not to mention her domineering, she didn't even dare to speak loudly. In addition, her biological mother was not early. She had been careful for more than ten years and was not scolded by her direct mother.

Even the second master grew up with little clothes, which was very pitiful.

Wan Niang passed away. The eldest princess originally intended to be Juan Niang, but her mother-in-law did not want her own daughter to be a successor, so she persuaded her mother-in-law to marry her. How could she think that Juan Niang got a good marriage, but she met a strong mother-in-law, and who could blame?

It's just people's fate.

The mother has been married to the Duke's Mansion for many years. She is like her own children, and she has never relied on the power of the Duke of the State of Wei to dictate to her family. Although Jiang's words are a little childish, it is also true.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Hou did not dare to say it and quickly comforted her mother-in-law: "Although Wan Niang went early, it was good that the three children were safe and safe. Wan Niang looked at it in the sky, which was also a comfort; as for Juan Niang... waiting for the master to contact her and transferred her uncle back to Beijing. With our family supporting her, the Long family did not If you dare to be as before, there will always be hope for the days.

The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief: "What's going on? How sure is it?"

"Don't worry, mother, there is also the assistance of the Duke of Wei. There are still vacancies in the six departments. Hearing from Mr. Hou, it's only about this year's matter. Although I can't guarantee it, 80% or 90% of it is also."

After some comfort, it was not easy for the lady to relax, and the waiter left his mother-in-law and returned to the yard where he lived.

Although she is Mrs. Jianning, there is a mother-in-law, and it is not her turn to live in. Mrs. Hou's yard is at the back of the courtyard, and it is also a row of five green brick houses, open and bright.

Jianning waited for Xiu Mu today and came back from seeing the son of Duke Wei in the front yard. He was waiting for a beautiful concubine to write a family letter to the girl far away in Zuohai.

Mrs Hou had something in her heart and couldn't help swinging away the beautiful concubine and letting the maid stand in front of the door to prevent others from approaching.

"Master Hou should also persuade his mother to deal with his second brother and sister today." Mrs. Hou was embarrassed and said to herself, "To be honest, my mother-in-law is also really filial. She never dares speak loudly in front of her mother, and there is also a second brother. Although she is a concubine, she hasmoud a subordinate to the East Palace just by her own efforts. She has always been obedient to her mother, even because she is angry with her sister-in-law, and her mother-in-law is early. For many years, the eldest princess of the Duke's Mansion is a powerful person to guard against her. But after so many years, she has not given her the middle gift. Today, her mother is still not fair and raised by a little woman. If this comes to her mother's ears, what should she think? If you have a grudge and say a few words in front of the Duke of Wei, isn't it another right and wrong? Your mother can gain a firm foothold in the Duke of Wei, and you can rely on herself..."

When he finished speaking, he saw Jianning throw the pen in his hand, and the black ink splashed everywhere, almost touching Mrs. Hou's face.

"You are also the daughter of a family. When did you learn the style of a shrew in the market and talk about your mother's rights and wrong in private?"

Mrs. Hou opened her mouth and her eyes turned red with grievance: "I'm not doing everything. My mother didn't treat Ying Niang so harshly. She was a little unwilling to know that Juanniang was unhappy after marriage. But what happened back then was not my mother's thought, and who could she blame? What's good about the Duke's mansion?"

"Women's opinion!" Jian Ninghou rubbed the rice paper and said hatefully, "What kind of person is Duke Wei? How can he ignore his in-laws just by the woman's words? Xing'er, Chen'er and Jing'er are Wanniang's flesh and blood! Do you really stand firm as your mother-in-law? Don't you know that she now has mastered the gift, and there is an elder princess staring at her? After all these years, why hasn't the eldest princess completely rest assured of her? Only you otaku women, with short-sighted eyes, think she is the same inside and out.

"What is this?" Mrs. Hou's surprise suddenly overwhelmed her grievances.

Jian Ninghou suppressed his anger: "It's useless to mention the past. You just have to do your part, and don't let me find myself complaining about my mother's unfilial piety in private."

After saying that, he ignored the waiting lady and went away.

In the Mulan Garden of Houfu, there was a warbler's voice and a loud smile.

The birthday of the little women only needs to be done with a ceremony. Usually, it is just to invite a few confidants and sisters to have fun for a day. Therefore, Huang's seven-year-old daughter only invited a few little women from the Weigong Mansion.

Although she behaved seven little women at home, she was actually the eldest daughter of the third room of the waiting house, and there was also a concubine's sister Ba Niang. At this time, she sat aside intimidly and looked at her sister's opening ceremony.

"Ah! This is a lotus white porcelain bowl produced by Ruyao. Look at this color, it's really as clear as jade. Huang's Wuniang said in surprise, looking at the beautiful scenery - Su Wuniang and Qi Niang are the closest, and she should have such a handwriting.

But I heard Su's Sanniang say, "It's not worth anything, but I'm afraid A Yue still can't see it."

This time, even Jiang Yue felt a little surprised. Her thick eyelashes flashed and looked at Su Sanniang: "Sister Luo's words are serious. I'm really flattered by such a precious gift."

The two have always been at discord and often quarreled. For example, on Jiang Yue's birthday, Su Sanniang will not be invited, and the sachet embroidered by the maids is also polite.

Huang Liuniang was afraid that you would come and say something unpleasant. She quickly opened a brocade box, took out a book, and took a look at it. She wanted to change the topic casually, but she really marveled: "Well, come and see, this is actually a "Record of the Remnants" written by Liang Ji, a famous scholar of the former dynasty. There are only 20 books in the world, no But I saw it at the birthday ceremony of my seventh sister.

After saying that, Huang Liuniang also looked at Yijing - it is said that Ajing has collected a lot of treasures. Unexpectedly, she was so generous that she could give her love to her seventh sister, which was really enviable.

Unexpectedly, the scenery was also full of surprise. He took the thin book and looked over and frequently looked at it. "I only have an imitation book, but this book is actually written by Liang Ji. Among other things, this square seal is said to be carved by the Sixkong Master of the previous dynasty. After the master's death, no one can imitate this seal again."

Su Banniang blushed slightly and explained in a low voice, "It's a treasure found by the second brother by chance. I'm a fool and I'm not good at poetry. It's useless to keep it. I gave it to Sister Yue..."

Although the white porcelain of Ru Kiln is precious, it is not too rare after all, and it is also common in noble mansions, but this rare book is priceless.

Not to mention that the little women in Hou Mansion were very shocked, and the little women in Wei Guo Mansion were also stunned.

Especially Sanniang, there was a sneer in her heart: Ba Niang is really promising. Who doesn't know that she is the least popular? Although there is a brother of one mother who has never paid much attention to her blood sister. Why did the second brother suddenly become so generous?

Thinking of Mother Song's original enlightenment, Sanniang couldn't help looking at Ba Niang meaningfully. Is it possible that Aunt Zhang only thought that she would die in Zhuangzi? She flattered Huang Qiniang like this, did she take a fancy to her fourth cousin? It's ridiculous. The fourth cousin is the only son of the third room of Houfu. Although he can't attack the title, he has not been reduced to marrying a common daughter. She is still a common daughter who is not favored by her grandmother and father!

Huang Wuniang and Huang Liuniang also like poetry and songs. Naturally, they can't put down their love for the "Record of the Remnant Years" personally recorded by the Wenhao of the previous dynasty, but Jiang Yue did not care much. She thanked Su Ba Niang enthusiastically for a few words and put them away.

"What have you prepared for me? I toss and turn last night and was curious all night, but I didn't take it out to have a look. Jiang Yue held Yijing's arm and was very eager.

All the little women are very curious.

Everyone knows that the scenery is deeply favored by the eldest princess, and the treasures in her hands are countless. There must be some magnificent scenery of the royal princesses and princesses, but they may not have those princesses and princesses. Jiang Yue has always been good with her, and I don't know what rare things will get from her hands this year.

Yijing smiled and pointed to a square brocade box on the case: "Look for yourself."

is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Although it is also precious and exquisite, it is not as good as that treasure book.

Originally, the gift of the boudoir's daughter was a heart, and she did not intend to compare with anyone.

Jiang Yue smiled happily: "Sure enough, you know what I mean."

Su Sanniang glanced at Ba Niang sarcastically and said, "Look at it. No matter how you please it, what rare treasure you are giving, it is worth a few insincere and lightly thanking words.

Ba Niang's clouds also felt slightly embarrassed. In fact, this gift was given by Erlang Qianqian's instructions a few days ago. She didn't know Erlang's intention, but when she saw that the gift was too precious, she was very worried. The sisters went in private. How could they send such a heavy gift? She was too heavy this time, and she was afraid that several sisters would I will have a grudge.

Quietly looked at the third sister and saw that she only talked to Huang Liuniang. The eldest sister and Huang Wuniang talked very well. The fourth sister took Huang Ba Niang and sat aside. The fifth sister chatted with Jiang Yue as usual. The sixth sister was still as if she was at home. She was very attentive with a scroll of books before she sighing.

Taking advantage of the attention of others, Jiang Yue pulled the scenery to the inside and mysteriously handed over a cloth: "I heard that you had to burn the previous words, and I asked my fourth brother to buy some outside. This time you are careful, but don't let the elders find it again."

Yi Jing frowned and declined politely: "I was curious for a moment, but after listening to my grandmother's teaching, I also understood that these words were not originally read by my daughter. I understood A Yue's kindness, but I can't take these words anymore."

Jiang Yue was slightly stunned and smiled: "It's your grandmother's small story. How can it be so serious to read a few words? There are many good words in it, and the writing is also beautiful and gorgeous. I promise you will love it.

Despite the good scenery, she waved to Qiu Yue to get closer and let her live.

Yijing was a little confused about Jiang Yue. At this time, she heard her grandmother's petty words and insisted on letting herself read the romantic stories of those talented women. She became more and more unhappy. She frowned and said righteously, "A Yue doesn't want to talk nonsense. Grandma has always been good for me. As juniors, how can we say that? Wait for the disrespectful words."

Jiang Yue was completely stunned and stared at the scenery in disbelief. After a while, she smiled: "It's my unscrupulous words. Don't be annoyed. Since you don't like these words, forget it." He threw the cloth aside and looked a little aggrieved.

On the contrary, it made Yijing a little sorry. At the beginning, she really loved these words. Jiang Yue only wanted to do her best and found them enthusiastically. How could she think that she was already disgusted by these books, so she took Jiang Yue's hand and changed the topic in three or two sentences.

At this time, the scenery is still willing to believe that Jiang Yue has no intention to harm others.

The two girls avoided others and only said some interesting things about their boudoirs, and their slight displeasure soon disappeared.

After a long time, a waiter's maid reported--

"The third lady has prepared a banquet in the waterside, and I have invited you to go."
