Chapter 229: Rules
The wicked have to be grinded by the wicked, and the character determines the fate, when Zhiruo heard a series of farces in the Qingyuan Marquis's mansion for several days, it was these two sentences that jumped into his mind. If she is not sober-minded, or cowardly and uncompromising, no matter how high her status is, no matter how thick her dowry is, she will still be bullied to the point that she is invincible, just like her in her previous life.
On the other hand, Xu Yuanniang, who was born as a businesswoman, endured when she should endure, and refused to swallow her anger when she should choke, she had scheming and means, but she let Ji's mother and daughter, who were domineering and ready to shock the bride, be fiercely counterattacked.
"Xu Yuanniang's dowry seems to be a lot better than what was said in advance," Mo Forget, "It makes the Ji family and Qiu Yanran even more red-eyed, but unfortunately the Xu family is not easy to bully, and he is more familiar with the various rules and related laws of the official family than the Qiu family, so it is obvious that he has put in a lot of effort." On the day of the tea ceremony, Ji almost vomited blood several times, but he couldn't find out the reason, so he could only make it difficult when making rules. However, Xu Shi also came prepared and was very tolerant, so that Xu Shi couldn't find a reason for the attack, but slapped himself several times because of his picky vegetables. β
"Picky about vegetables?" Ru Dongle said, "She can figure it out, the bride has just entered the door, and there is a problem in the kitchen, can she blame the bride?" refers to Sang scolding Huai, and wants the family to pay money to improve the food, right?"
Of course, Rudong just sneered casually and didn't take it seriously, after all, no matter how greedy he was, for a person who was once a second-class commander and had been the wife of the Houfu for decades, face and reputation were extremely important. Isn't it so obvious to "want" by such inferior means, aren't you afraid of losing your identity in the eyes of the bride and her subordinates?
Zhiruo sneered in her heart, this kind of thing Ji really did, not to mention that she had lost her life and reputation in this life, even when her true face was not revealed in her previous life and she still maintained a good reputation, she did not do this kind of thing. Not only her, but also Mrs. Qiutai, who died early in this life. Speaking of which, they are really not very smart people, and the means they use are not enough in her eyes today.
In their eyes, the Hou Mansion is their territory. You have to be hypocritical outside. There is almost no need for people in the house and within the scope of their control, because filial piety is greater than the sky, and they dare not do anything to each other, especially the naΓ―ve and cowardly her in her previous life.
Ruchun pouted and said, "It is said that the Xu family has been taking care of business since childhood. Very shrewd. Where is the eldest daughter of a businessman who grew up with a calculation so easy to coax and scare?" The status of the eldest daughter is higher than that of other daughters, unless they are too bad, they are generally focused on training.
Don't forget to nod in agreement. continued: "But isn't it? She said a lot of nice things, and she came over to either the rules or her helplessness, and she also mentioned that she would settle the accounts in the house, open sources and reduce expenditure, but not mention taking out her own dowry to help her, and also used the rules, reputation, and even the influence on Qiu Xiran and Qiu Yanran's relatives to block Ji's mouth, so angry that Ji found a reason to drive her out, and the mother and daughter discussed for a long time how to deal with Xu's, and scolded Qiu Yiran for favoring Xu's and marrying her daughter-in-law to forget her mother. β
Zhiruo smiled approvingly: "Rules are dead, people are alive, smart people use rules, and stupid people are bound by rules." This Xu family is really prepared, I am afraid that he has already been familiar with all kinds of rules, waiting for the tricks of the Qiu family. In her previous life, she was also familiar with the female rings, female discourses and various rules since she was a child, coupled with Yan's mother's "careful persuasion" in her ears, but she completely became an accomplice of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion to imprison her, use her, and embezzle all her industrial property.
"Smart people use rules, and stupid people are bound by rules," Mo Forget involuntarily repeated Zhiruo's sentence again, savoring it carefully. The more you taste, the more you feel that it tastes, and the reason of the secret path is not only applicable to the rules of the backyard and the battles between women, but also to the various competitions between men and the whole world.
"My eldest sister is right, isn't that the reason?" Ming Ze, who had just walked in, said, "Didn't the Qiu family try to tie my sister's hands and feet with the so-called rules at the beginning, and force her to accept changing his wife into a concubine? There are also the second and third rooms in Jingli, and the Yin family in Ningzhou, which one is not planning to use such and such rules to calculate my sister's dowry, and calculate how many of our sisters and brothers? Unfortunately, hehe, my sister is not in their way, and in turn uses the relevant rules of Heli and the female household to deal with them. So, the rules are dead, whether you like it or not, it's set. If you sort out the rules and make good use of them, it will become a tool for self-protection and even attacking the enemy. On the contrary, they were bound by the rules of the other party. Eldest sister, is it right for me to analyze it like this?"
"Yes, you understand very well!" Zhiruo's eyebrows were full of joy and ...... Proud, her younger brother is only fourteen years old, in modern times, many children at this age are still ignorant, or cool and rebellious, and her Mingze can already think strategically. There is an element of talent, as well as Su Kang's teachings and the influence of his father, but it is also indispensable to be transformed from the pressure of his eldest son on his shoulders.
Minghui and Yourong said happily: "Mr. has praised the eldest brother for opening his mind, and the recent progress is very fast." The strategy that Mr. said, the eldest brother understood it after listening to it, and he could draw inferences from one another. Eldest sister, I also remembered that I had to make good use of the rules, rather than let the rules be constrained and not dare to show them. β
"Well," Zhiruo slapped his arm with a smile, "The eldest sister knows that my two younger brothers are the best, and Mr. Su hasn't praised you recently?" Obviously, Minghui, who used to be nervous and impatient to chew words, has also digested the meaning of that rule, and this teenager has now learned to use reason to overcome impulses, and has learned to take three deep breaths before acting.
Minghui's eyes flashed with pride, and he scratched his head embarrassedly: "Yes, hehe, Mr. said that I have been much more stable after returning from my study tour." "Qiu Ling and Yueji's abnormal eldest brother found out, but he didn't see a problem along the way, which made him quite frustrated, if the eldest brother didn't go with him, if that Yueji really had any malicious intentions against Meizhuang, wouldn't he regret it until the catastrophe befell their brothers and sisters?
"By the way, eldest sister," the shy Minghui quickly changed the topic after reporting the good news to the eldest sister, "When we came back, we happened to meet someone from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion who came to send a tribute, as well as a car of gifts sent by the two rooms in the capital.
