Chapter 445 Helpless secular, suddenly gloomy
Yijing was hit by the little aunt and gradually calmed down. At this time, she also began to persuade the second mother: "First of all, as the little aunt just said, it was the brother-in-law who insisted on not accepting the side concubine, and knelt down and begged the empress dowager for permission. Besides, in our family, the grandmother will not force a concubine first. The third uncle is also willing. My aunt has never cried about this.
Su Lian then nodded her forehead, gave her an angry look, and half hugged the second mother and comforted her, "I'm also a daughter. How can I not know that the second mother's heart is suffering? However, the secular etiquette is like this. As long as the man does not spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, no matter how majestic the mother's family is unreasonable. Look at other families. How many families are not three wives and four concubines? The more high-looking people are, the more so.
The family is an extremely important heir. Since childhood, men have received the teaching that "unfiliality is three, and no queen is the greatest". Most orthodox families value the eldest son and do not allow concubines to give birth before the main room. It is already a respect for his wife. When a teenager, men tasted "personnel" is also the practice of an aristocratic family, just like Zhou's brother-in-law Cheng. At the time of marriage, there is a snow geese around him who acquiesces to his elders.
Especially when the wife is pregnant and the man can't have sex. At this time, even if the man does not want to take a concubine, most of the elders will "pick up" the wife to take the initiative to arrange a maid. This is still a orthodox family style. If it is replaced by a random family, it is just like the Zhu family, who insisted on taking the concubine as the leader, taking the concubine as the wife, and forcing the son to accept it. My concubine and daughter-in-law have been serving the disease for many years, and Uncle Long must also compromise. In this world, it is a small matter to spoil my concubine and destroy my wife, and a hat of unfilial piety will be taken down, which will not be tolerated in the world.
Although it is frustrating, it is an iron fact.
A woman is not allowed to be a concubine. First of all, she has to meet a veritable good man. She is willing to hold only one person's hand in her life. More importantly, she must meet a wise elder. I don't know if there is one in a hundred miles. It's really impossible to meet.
For example, Aunt Jia also has a deep affection for Su Lian. Although he was close to marriage, there was naturally a "Xue Yan" around him, but he never took the initiative to take her as a concubine, and even secretly looked for a home for "Xue Yan". After Su Lian knew about it, he observed that the maidservant was indeed a gift. When she was pregnant, So let her cross the Ming Road. In the storage room, although Mrs. Jia had never dared to interfere in the affairs of Aunt Jia's father and Su Lian's courtyard, she also breathed a long sigh after receiving the letter.
It can be seen that in the mother-in-law's heart, she still doesn't want her son to have only one wife.
In fact, in most aristocratic families, concubines are humble and difficult to pose a threat to their wives, so 70% get along well with each other.
It is said that the Duke of Wei, because Wan Niang was virtuous at the beginning, not only accommodated Aunt Zhang, but also accepted the Cui family. Although Aunt Zhang has been domineering for more than ten years, she did not dare to really fight against the main room. At the beginning, the original design of Erlang to plan for Jiang Yue was just a private calculation, which was not a real threat to the Huang family.
The key is still men. Most of the ambitious concubines are men's confidence.
Huang's biological mother, Aunt Liao, is typical.
Of course, there are also wives who are jealous. They can't control their husbands and use only private means to murder their concubines. Most of them will cause their own bitter consequences. For example, Mrs. Zhen cleaned up the concubines one by one, but Zhen Lian and Zhen Mo were taught by her and developed a vicious temperament. In the end, the sisters were maimed. One of them was killed by their own sister, and none of them fell into nothing. Good, it's really retribution.
At the thought of this, Yijing broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't want to watch the second mother become Mrs. Zhen or the crown princess.
I heard Su Lian advise again: "Er Niang listen to me. You have to give in to this matter. After returning home, you have to sincerely apologize to your sister-in-law and ask her for understanding. You can't be impulsive and wayward in the future. That maid, you should simply come to the inner house and observe carefully. If you are a real person, you will also give him a way to live. In the future, you will be pregnant. It's not too late to officially accept her, but you have to remember that the medicine can't stop. When you have the eldest son, then think about stopping the medicine. On the other side of the second aunt, if you want him to love her, you can't be unreasonable. Slowly advise him to put his studies first and be your virtuous name in front of the elder. If so, he still makes trouble. You don't need to tell me again. When your grandmother comes forward, I will go to the Zhou family to deal with him for you.
The second mother was still reluctant and suddenly asked the fourth mother, "Is my brother-in-law the same?"
Siniang's cheeks were slightly red, and she shook her head first: "The Yao family does not follow that custom... But my mother-in-law also reminded me that a big maid beside Sanlang had already held two taels of moon silver." The implication is that that she is also a "be-aunt" determined by the elders. In fact, most families usually have a proper maid to serve their sons.
Er Niang was completely discouraged: "That makes no difference."
At this time, Si Niang advised: "My sister didn't look at others and only thought of our mother. At the beginning, it was because of such unreasonable troubles and disrespecting the elders that she was disgusted by her father. With the eyebrowed aunt, she almost caused a big disaster, which was enough to learn from... Some things are really helpless. In fact, it's just the case. Who taught me This is the case with secular etiquette. We can not accept it, but we have to prepare to make troubles, husband and wife discord, and talkatively. If my sister really thinks it's worth it, she can also stick to her own opinions, but be ready to accept all possible consequences... I don't have that courage, and I don't think it may satisfy me. Sanlang doesn't want to see me wronged, but for me The rebellious parents can't do it. I really don't want to see him carry an unfilial name. In a word, a concubine is a concubine. If that person is not unruly and arrogant, he will save trouble in the future.
As soon as this came out, the other three people in the room sighed.
Ying's heart was especially blocked. Somehow, it seemed that she had never really cared about it in that life and didn't even think about it, but at this time, as long as she thought about the future, maybe Yu would also take a concubine...
She can't resent him for this, and she can't cry like Er Niang, let alone have the idea of peace.
But my heart is always very gloomy, and there is no way to accept it rationally like my aunt and the fourth mother.
Maybe he is one of those hundred miles, but if the old princess wants to force him... like his father, he can only compromise at the beginning.
The room fell into silence for a moment, and it was broken by someone's flamboyant voice in the yard--
"Aunt Lian, Ajing, where are you hiding? Come out and have a look. I caught a girl who looks exactly like Yu Yu!"
In the outer courtyard, Princess Pingle pulled Wei Zhao with one hand and stood under the Hehuan tree with her eyebrows flying, with excitement on her face. On one side was Huang Liuniang, who was accompanying her smiling face to persuade her: "The princess, don't make trouble. She carefully scared Sister Zhao. She is the cousin of the son of the world. She should have just come to Kyoto, but she has never seen a heroine like you."
Yi Jing had to put aside all the distracting thoughts first, lift the curtain out, and let Xia Ke prepare hot water to come in and put makeup on Er Niang's face. Then he showed his face, but he saw a row in front of the hall. It turned out that only for a while, including Yang Liu, Zhuo Yingyu and Wei Eleven Niang, were present, even with a melancholy little face. Ba Niang, who had been wandering for a long time, also returned to the atrium. At this time, she was finally teased by the exaggeration of Pingle.
The guests are almost there, and there is only one Peng Sanniang.
Everyone returned to the main hall, sat and talked for a while, and then reported that near noon, the old princess and the eldest princess had arrived in Qingxue Luli, waiting for the birthday star to have a banquet.
The red leaves there are already shining, and a half-sealed stage was set up under the red leaves. After the banquet, everyone sat in the sunny snowy building to enjoy the scenery and listen to the play. At this time, it was not too cold. As long as the folding fan in the south was closed and there was a charcoal stove for heating, they should not feel cold.
Yi Jing hurriedly ordered tea, melons and fruits first, and led a group of warbler swallows to Qingxuelu.
As soon as the old princess saw Wei Zhao, she smiled. She held a hand with the eldest princess and looked up and down. She was surprised: "This girl was born more than Anran."
Yi Jing smiled and said, "I heard from Aunt Mo that the son of the world, the mother concubine, wants to look like her uncle, and A Zhao looks like her uncle, and naturally she is like the son." Wei Yun also mentioned: "My eldest cousin can't come to see my grandmother today because she has to wait for marriage at home, but she should come on the day when the second brother welcomes her." After saying that, he looked at Wei Zhao inquiringly.
Wei Zhao smiled and said, "My sister also wanted to come today, but she was not busy embroidering wedding clothes, so she had to ask me to give her cousin Yile's birthday and ask the old princess Wanfu Jin'an. However, at the royal wedding banquet, both father and mother will come to congratulate. Before my sister comes out of the cabinet, she should also come to say hello to the old princess and the prince.
Yi Jing squeezed her lips and smiled. With Wei Zhao's words, her uncle and aunt will definitely attend Yu Zhou's wedding banquet, which is more pleasing than Yu Zhou's wedding.
Seeing that the old princess was very affectionate with Wei Zhao, she led many sisters to the open hall next to the warm pavilion. The maids just served tea, melons and fruits. Everyone sat still laughing, asking which troupe was invited and discussing what to do next day.
As soon as Princess Pingle saw Si Niang, she was very happy. She grabbed the plot to deal with Shou Xing today and asked loudly, "I said Jing, why didn't you invite Du Yuniang today? That's a heroine. She knows so many people, and she can drink as much as Si Niang.
Ying can't laugh or cry - today's occasion, there are many people coming. There are not only boudoir sisters, but also elders present, as well as outsiders such as Wei and Zhuo. How can they be called Du Yuniang?
Someone was surprised and asked, "Which Du Yuniang?"
Fortunately, Su Lian was an insider and patted Ping Le on the shoulder: "What are you shouting about? I'm here today. Are you afraid that no one can have fun with you?" Two sentences changed the topic.
Before the formal banquet, Peng Sanniang finally appeared, but she looked extremely uncomfortable, because she still had a small follower behind her-
Others were fine, but Liu Niang saw it at a glance and her face suddenly sank.
It was Qin Ziruo who came.
"Five sister, you shouldn't be. Everyone was invited and forgot me alone. If it hadn't been for today, I would have happened to find A Lan. When I heard her say it was your birthday, I didn't know that you deserved not to receive my gift today." Qin Ziruo came forward and took Yujing's arm and smiled skillfully.
Obviously, Peng Lan had to tell the truth in order to get rid of Qin Ziruo, but he still let her follow.
Liu Niang endured a few times, and finally took care of everyone present without sarcasm.
Bingjing doesn't care too much. If she and Qin Ziruo don't have that relationship, she has never invited her, but the Qin family is the in-laws of the Duke's Mansion. If Ziruo comes, there is no reason not to entertain her.
Since the guests were all together, of course, the little women still sat at the same table. Su Lian wanted to make fun in the warm pavilion, but was ruthlessly expelled by the eldest princess. In addition to the two elders in the warm pavilion, Wei Zhao was pulled by the old princess and sat beside her. Liu Niang used to be quiet and saw that there was peace outside. Sitting in, Sanniang couldn't drink or laugh because she was still mourning for Aunt Cui. She also sat down in the warm pavilion. She was accustomed to the chastity and gathered into the quiet. The scenery was two tables and took the opportunity to hide from drinking.
An hour passed like this in a blink of an eye.
The maids came to remove the soup again, served the pastry, and began to prepare on the stage outside.
Yijing listened to Wei Zhao from Qingzhou and talked about the scenery and interesting things all the way, which made the two elders listen attentively and interrupted with a smile: "Grandma, you are so happy with Zhao's sister. Why don't you keep her stay for a few more days, just after the second brother's banquet, and then let her go home with her aunt and aunt?"
Mother Wei was also in the warm pavilion at this time. When the old princess heard that she was Wei Zhao's wet nurse, she was very happy to sit down. As soon as she heard this, she was very anxious, but she didn't wait to say it. The old princess had already agreed: "Jing is so beautiful that she knows my plan, so she made a deal. Zhao hasn't seen the prince today. How can she go back like this? ."
Mama Wei smiled bitterly: "It should have been the old princess's will, but the family didn't make it, so I was afraid of my wife..."
Yi Jing said quickly, "What's the matter? I'll arrange someone to talk to my aunt. It happens that Zhao's sister didn't bring a maid to wait on her. If there is an aunt, arrange another one." He waved to Xia Ke and asked her to go to Hu's alley.
Seeing that Mother Wei did not dare to object again, Wei Zhao smiled proudly and stood close to the old princess and "recommend" her wet nurse, saying that she could hide a lot of stories. The martyr's daughter could recite it back into the stream and said a lot of stories. The old princess was interested and really talked with Mother Wei.
Byeong only glanced at Wei Zhao's shining eyes, and guessed what the girl was doing. He quickly "draw a knife to help": "Grandma, today's Deqing class is so easy for me to be invited. A few plays are very good at. You'd better click two folds and let them sing. Since you are speculating with Mother Wei, don't let her do it these days. Just stay in Rongxi Hall for the time being and talk to you."
The old princess was really willing and said with a smile, "The royal palace is large, and there are only a few people. I always love to be lively. That's it. Jing is the most appropriate. Let's rest assured if A Zhao gives it to her. Mother will stay with me for a few days."
This time, Wei Zhao simply turned his worshipful eyes to her cousin-in-law, secretly bowed the Buddha and frowned.
