Chapter 701 Mrs. Chen Er, fight for women

As the New Year is approaching, it is about the most trivial and busy time of the year for all housewives. Naturally, Mrs. Chen is no exception. Although the affairs of the prime minister's family are still under the control of the old lady, all the hard work are on her shoulders of her eldest daughter-in-law.

Therefore, in the afternoon, the widowed second wife was shocked to learn that her eldest sister-in-law had led several powerful women to carry them to her yard. She was very surprised and quickly greeted her, followed by Chen Sanniang, who had just been taught in front of her mother.

"It's cold. Sister-in-law, go to the house quickly." Hearing that it was New Year's goods from major villages, the second wife quickly asked the accompanying room to put it and invited Mrs. Chen to the warm pavilion. The third mother personally told the maids to serve tea. Mrs. Chen took it over and saw that it was Qi Hong, who she was used to drinking. She smiled and thanked, "San Niang is careful."

If you just deliver New Year's goods, busy people are bound not to go there. The third mother expected that her aunt had something to say. After listening to a few cold noises, she found an excuse to say goodbye and took away the maids by the way.

"The things sent are fine. There is a box of mountain ginseng, which is a gift sent by the King of Chu. As soon as the winter comes, my wife likes to have a cough and shortness of breath, which is just right." Mrs. Chen said.

The second wife hurriedly said politely: "Thank you for thinking about it. It must be precious and excellent. Only the mother has always used ginseng to recuperate. Over the years, the top-quality wild mountain ginseng has become more and more rare, and my sister-in-law is still the first to stay close to her mother."

"My sister-in-law is relieved. It was my mother's order to send it."

In just two sentences, the second wife also understood that the gift of the King of Chu was sent directly to the prime minister's house, not to have a private friendship with the long house. Of course, the meaning is different.

Only then did the second wife believe the summary of her daughter's return from the birthday banquet of Liu's birthday. The Weigong Mansion did not complain about the marriage. The two families were really good in-laws, not marriage. Otherwise, the Chu's mansion would not take the initiative to send gifts. Even if they want to take into account the decentness of the Empress Dowager, they only need to make friends with the long house - the prime minister's mansion. Except for the long room, the rest can be opposed to Ci'an Palace. Ordinary idle people may not be able to see through this matter. The Duke of Wei and the House of Chu are bound to know it.

Her smile stretched a little more: "If Liulang can get this good relationship, his sister-in-law can also feel at ease. Although the Duke of Wei is noble, especially a few little women in the long room, it is not bad compared with the daughters of the family."

Mrs. Chen nod: "Who said no." But the topic suddenly changed: "When Liulang gets married in March, the third mother also has to enter the palace. Don't think I talk too much. At present, the middle palace, although she is the daughter of a family, acts really... quite like Mrs. Qin in those years." Mrs. Qin has lived in a secluded house since the destruction of Dongming, but the noblewomen still heard about her deeds when she became a princess. Although Mrs. Chen's words were tactful, the second wife could understand the meaning of her words and couldn't help sighing.

Some things don't need to be said too clearly. Everyone is the Chen family, and they all know the contradiction between Ci'an Palace and Shoukang Palace. Although the lord of Kunren Palace is not favored by the empress dowager of the two palaces, the Qin family behind it is regarded as an arm by the emperor. Although the empress dowager is dissatisfied with the queen, she still has to maintain her face, but the Chen family is also the father of the empress dowager. Except for the long house, most of them are afraid of Ci'an Palace. When the second wife thinks of this chaotic situation, how can she not be worried about her daughter?

"I heard that not long ago, because of an accident, Princess Deng was punished by the queen to kneel in front of everyone. If it hadn't been for the Empress Dowager's questioning, on such a cold day, she would have knelt on the cold ground for half a day, and a pair of knees would have been useless." Mrs. Chen also said, "Dir-in-law, I know you are a cautious person. At first, I asked the Empress Dowager not to give the title of the Empress Dowager so that the Queen would not be afraid. But according to me, even if the Third Lady only enters the palace as a concubine, she is from our Chen family, the queen will be afraid. Although the Empress Dowager has the protection, I'm afraid that she will not be neglected. The etiquette in the palace can't be punished by the queen for no reason.

Seeing that the second wife seemed to be a little moved, Mrs. Chen said, "If the third mother is awarded the title of noble concubine, she can assist the empress dowager in the palace affairs. There is an excuse to avoid her from going to Kunren Palace. Even if the queen wants to pinch the handle, it is not so easy."

The noble concubine is above the concubines, which can be called one person. The empress is not virtuous enough to be seen by all. The Empress Dowager's mother also needs personal assistance in palace affairs. If the third daughter is only an ordinary concubine, she is naturally not as good as the concubine in the mansion. Only by pressing the rest of the class can the Empress Dowager let the Third Lady to assist in the palace affairs. , Risheng changed to Shoukang Palace, and even if the queen was angry, she could only stare at it.

"My wife also knows that the Empress Dowager will not listen to my advice. This matter needs to be made up by herself, and my wife can think about it." Mrs. Chen was not in a hurry and had to leave. As soon as she stood up, the second wife had made up her mind and stood up: "San Niang will be given a high position as soon as she enters the palace. I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager will be picky with etiquette."

Mrs. Chen took her hand and patted her as she patted her comfort: "Empress dowager, I can still say something. Sanniang is better than others in terms of character and temperament. That is to say, concubine Shu, although she is Yan's daughter, the empress dowager knows that she is weak and not suitable for co-gong affairs. During this year, she did not mention it. I have mentioned that the empress dowager knows very well in her heart that she is not nepotism. The third mother is a daughter-in-law. If the empress dowager sees her, she will definitely like it.

The second wife sent Mrs. Chen to the gate of the courtyard and stayed there for a long time. It was not until she accompanied the house for fear that the master would catch a cold and came forward to dissuade her, so she folded into it. She sat on the warm kang alone and meditated for a long time.

When the Chen family was in Dongming, they were also regarded as famous eunuchs as the Qin family. The nephews of the family were all benevolence, righteous and courtesy at a glance. Unexpectedly, the heir was a scum who spoiled his wife in Chen Xiang's bones today. Chen Xiangyuan was also a famous lady, gentle and virtuous. Even if Chen Xiang proposed to accept a noble concubine, she agreed that for many years Meanwhile, the wife and the noble concubine get along well with each other, and the wife is not very jealous. The noble concubine seems to know how to advance and retreat, which even leads to the similar age of Chen Shenyi and the second master's half-brothers, and the back house is very stable and united.

If it hadn't happened that the main room gave birth to the "double-headed" demon fetus later, no one would have expected that Chen Xiang was actually a scum, and your concubine had long been ambitious.

Even if Chen participated in the discussion, when his grandfather made the decision to drown his sister, he could only agree, because if it were someone else, he could not tolerate the spread of the "demon fetus", but Chen Xiang could not stand the temptation of his concubine. He killed the Yuan wife himself without telling his elders, and also threatened his wife to agree to help his concubine, so he was still deliberately looking for it. A "alien" insists on saying that the common woman's face is "unspeakable", which is not a "routine" practice. Typical spoiling a concubine and destroying his wife is not ashamed of the world.

Since then, Chen Sanyi has been extremely estranged from the second master. Because he received a lot of love from his direct mother, he also knew at that time that this was more or less the greed of his biological mother. He felt sorry and did not blame the eldest brother.

But the Empress Dowager is different. She has not received the favor of her mother. In her heart, Chen Sanhui is the revenge of killing her mother. If it had not been persecuted by her eldest brother's mother, her biological mother would not have died.

Chen Sanyi also has a concubine sister, who is two years older than the empress dowager, but her biological mother is only a dowry maid. Therefore, after receiving a lot of idleness from the empress dowager, Chen Sangui became more and more dissatisfied with this "direct sister", and at the age of the empress dowager's cardamom, she dared to instigate Chen to suppress her brother. Chen Sangui was inexplicably moved to go home several times by Chen Xiang, and even If you can't get out of bed, can you not hate the Empress Dowager to the bone?

In addition to Chen Xiang, the son of the family, who has the law of etiquette, the step-in-law Mrs. Chen also has a great responsibility.

If she has been treating the empress dowager as the "yuan wife's direct daughter" and ordered her family not to bring up old cases, how would the empress dowager know that she was not a compatriot with her brother and mother? Even if Chen Shen had a grudge and forced his concubine to death, it would be regarded as a mother's resentment. At most, he was not so close to the Empress Dowager and would never do anything to frame - the second master was never revenged by his eldest brother, not to mention the Empress Dowager.

But if Mrs. Chen had this role, Chen Xiang would not have had a gap with her eldest son. How could the next three and four rooms be so favored by her father now?

Chen Xiang should indeed have a special preference for the noble concubine. It doesn't count for forcing her to die in the main room. The indulgence of the second master and the empress dowager is really more than the eldest son, especially the eldest.

It's just that Chen Sanyi's family is not from a famous family, but Yuani is actually the daughter of a poor family.

But the second master's wife came from the Jiang family, a famous family - he was also a prime minister in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, and even a famous prime minister. However, Emperor Ai was incompetent. Because the Jiang family opposed Xiao Xiang, he actually ordered the Jiang family to destroy the clan. How many courtiers blocked it, and Emperor Ai relaxed the disposal - it was not much better than the extermination of the Jiang family. All the direct line was awarded. Beheading, only the branch of the common people was left, and all of them were not official slaves, including women's family.

Although the Jiang family was brutally washed in blood, the reputation of being arrogant and willing to die has been established. It is really pushed by famous families, which is not comparable to those who rely on several "zhenlie" daughters to gain a so-called noble reputation.

After the founding of Dalong, the Jiang family was naturally pardoned and had a chance to recover.

The second wife was born as a concubine, but it was not easy for Chen Xiang to marry his concubine at that time. Fortunately, the matter of spoiling his concubine and extermination of his wife was not spread. Otherwise, the Jiang family would not even want to "marry" even a maidservant, let alone a concubine's daughter.

After all, the Jiang family saw that the second master was still progressive, and Chen promised not to let his son take a concubine, so the Jiang family nodded.

Even if the third master and the fourth master's two legitimate sons married, Chen Xiang did not bother so much.

Although the second wife is a concubine, the Jiang family has a clean family style and generally teaches her as a direct daughter, with excellent character, talent and learning.

The third wife and the fourth wife are both from noble backgrounds. Because the third and fourth masters are the successors, the Chen family was not very powerful at that time. Naturally, there is no totalitarian who is willing to marry. The three or fourth wives are average, and they can't marry the real daughter of the family to improve the family, so that the daughter in the family is not so domineering. It's good to cultivate Naturally, it is not as good as the daughter of the family.

The second wife is really worthy of being a famous girl. She is not determined by her birth or relying on the nobleness of her mother's family. She looks down on the eldest sister-in-law from a poor family and three or four two brothers who are slightly unruly. Although Mrs. Chen's family is not obvious, her character is not good, and she is not willing to be stronger than three or four. The second wife is against the eldest My sister-in-law is really a little close.

She never liked that the empress dowager always incited the second master to discord with her eldest brother. In fact, after the second wife married, she heard of Chen Xiang's behavior of "peting her concubine and destroying her", and she was a little deceived and wronged. However, she saw that the second master was not angry because of the death of her biological mother, and it was impossible to divorce, so she closed her eyes. I have never told my mother's house about this.

The second master died because of delinciation, and the second wife complained more about the empress dowager.

In fact, she is not willing to send Sanniang to the palace, but the elders of the family have long made a decision on this matter, and the Empress Dowager is even more irreversible. The second wife's education since childhood is respectful and filial piety. She also understands that the matter of Sanniang's entry into the palace involves the rise and fall of the family. The women are protected by the family and can enjoy honor and food. Of course, she also contributes to the family. She I understand these truths, so although I am unwilling, I have no intention to rebel.

But after all, as a mother, she naturally has to consider her daughter's future. The second wife is really worried about the empress dowager. An impersonated direct daughter was deliberately raised by her stepmother. She has been cultivated in the court for many years, and she is full of selfishness. Although she is noble at present, she still dares not praise her character. As for the Holy One, how can he be Of course, Mrs. 952 is unknown, and looking at these things done after ascending the throne, the second wife is really unconvinced.

Thinking of Sanniang's difficult steps in the future, the second wife was at a loss.

Of course, it would be better if it could be protected by the empress dowager - if the second wife can't believe the empress dowager at all, the third wife will definitely be the mother of the world in the future.

Even the brother of a mother compatriot can't save it. It's not in vain to sacrifice for her son, let alone do her best for Sanniang.

Everything is holy.

In the heart of the empress dowager, her son is naturally the heaviest, followed by her mother's family, and the third mother is in the second place.

The more the second wife thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. If she had known that Weng's father was such a virtue, her parents would never have agreed to this marriage! Her daughter will not be forced to do so.

The eldest sister-in-law's words are not unreasonable. Since the police can't guarantee safety, it's better to strive for a high position that can not be threatened.

The second wife made up her mind for a moment and immediately took action. She changed into plain but more new clothes and went to see Mrs. Chen.
