Chapter 14 Confidence is willfulness
"What?!" When the room heard Xiao Huiniang's words, they all showed shocked looks, and even Shen Jitang, who had always been as stable as Mount Tai, was a little discolored.
And the brothers Yuan Cheng and Yuan Yong, who stood up, were almost ashamed and couldn't wait to find a hole to get into immediately, Shen Junqian silently summarized on the side, it is not easy to meet such a fierce mother!
Zhou Shi was anxious by the news and said almost immediately: "Heli, you are crazy, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?"
Seeing his mother's anxious appearance, Xiao Shi hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't be in a hurry first, there may be any misunderstanding, let's ask carefully and find out what is going on first." ”
Heli is such a big deal for a woman, and now that she heard her little daughter say Heli, where did Zhou calm down: "You let her say, let her say, see what she can say, Maojie was chosen by herself, your father and I didn't agree at first, she wanted to marry."
For her, your father cheekily begged his friends everywhere and took a lot of effort to ask her about the Yuan family and Maojie, the situation of the Xu family, how could your father agree, she was going to marry if she didn't listen, your father was forced by her to be unable to do anything, and saw that Maojie really had a good character, so he agreed to this family business under the pressure of the clan.
Now that she is well, and she says that she wants to reconcile, you let her see for herself, the two children are so old, they are both mothers, and they are so willful and ignorant. ”
Xiao Huiniang couldn't help but muttered in a low voice on the side: "Who is not sensible." ”
As soon as Xiao Shi saw that Zhou's anger was about to come up again, he felt reprimanded his sister: "Don't say a word, why did my mother say that what you said was not right, what are you making trouble about the New Year?"
Xiao Huiniang defended: "I didn't make trouble, oops, why do you all treat me like a child." ”
Xiao Qi sighed and said to Xiao Huiniang: "It's all my fault that I spoiled you, you and Mao Jie get along very well on weekdays, I have always looked at you over the years when you are rude and willful, what's wrong with you, if there is really any disagreement, you can tell Mao Jie that he will not follow you." ”
Xiao Huiniang said stubbornly: "Not necessarily this time, anyway, I wrote and left the book with him, and my luggage will be sent back in the next two days." ”
Shen Jitang saw that a few people hadn't talked about it for a long time, so he asked Yuan Cheng on the side: "Brother Cheng, you brothers came with your mother, do you know what's going on?"
Yuan Cheng's face was already red, there was such an unreliable mother, and from time to time there was an "accident", and he felt that he was going to be ten years old. Seeing that some elders asked, it was not good not to answer, so I could only say: "Actually, my mother wrote and left the book by herself, and then pulled us over while my father was not in the study. ”
Shen Jitang was keenly aware of this: "So your father is still on an errand in the palace, so you all came with your mother?"
Yuan Cheng explained: "Well, but when we left, I asked my father's little servant to report to him, and my father should be coming over soon." ”
Yuan Yong added on the side: "We don't worry about my mother alone, my father said that my mother has a little brother or little sister in her belly, and you want us to protect my mother?"
Everyone was shocked again, and the gentle Xiao couldn't help but want to beat his sister, thinking that she was still pregnant, he couldn't help but complain: "You still don't want to be a child's mother? What the hell is the value when you're so noisy?"
Xiao Huiniang saw that her son had betrayed herself, and knew that the matter would not be hidden, so she simply spread it out.
After listening to Xiao Huiniang's narration, Shen Junqian looked at her third aunt with some speechlessness and admiration, could it be that she has good hardware and software, so what do you want to do?
Look at the Xiao family who was speechless after listening to Xiao Huiniang's words next to him, and the Zhou family, who would have to slap his daughter if he was not pregnant, and Xiao Qi and Shen Jitang's son-in-law who were a little twitching on the side.
Speaking of which, it's not really a big deal.
Back then, when Xiao Huiniang married Yuan Maojie, she not only married low, but also did not have the right household. The Xiao family is a famous family, a scholarly family, and the Yuan family is just a down-and-out nobleman with only a false name, and the ancestor is a family that relies on being the head of the fire for the holy grandfather, and in Yuan Maojie's generation, the Yuan family is no different from the market.
Yuan Maojie's parents died early, and he lived with his uncle, but his talent in martial arts was not bad, relying on the only remaining noble rights of the Yuan family to learn martial arts with the military camp instructor, he just let him learn it, and he also took the martial arts examination and became an official.
When Xiao Huiniang met Yuan Maojie, he was already known in the six grades of the capital, and he also made a meritorious service in front of the saint and won the lord of a small cavalry captain. Although even so, Yuan Maojie is not worthy of Xiao Huiniang, but he can't stand Xiao Huiniang, so he likes him and wants to marry.
In the end, Xiao Qi agreed to such a marriage under the pressure of the clan, but he also agreed with Yuan Maojie at the time of engagement in three chapters: first, no concubines are allowed within five years of marriage, second, no concubines are accepted before having children forty, and third, concubines without children at thirty need to be approved by the Xiao family. also put this arrogant and bold three chapters of the law into the marriage book, which was still a sensation in the capital back then.
Yuan Maojie is both parents died, and he and Xiao Huiniang have a good impression of each other, and they have no opinion on this agreement, but his marriage still needs the elders to help him make peace, that is, his cousin's uncle's family.
At that time, although his cousin uncle didn't agree very much, Yuan Maojie himself was willing to come to his cousin's uncle's wife to see that he could climb the big tree of the Xiao family, and only said that the Xiao family's famous family would be so unkind, and now this is just to not lose the face of the big family, why bother to ruin Maojie's good marriage, so he also agreed.
Yuan Maojie and Xiao Huiniang have the same personality, although Xiao Huiniang is a little willful and rude, but Yuan Maojie has always been good and willing to let her, the two have always been Qin Se and Ming, and they also gave birth to two sons after marriage, plus there was no elder to tell the heirs after marriage, although Xiao Huiniang did not get pregnant for many years because she injured her body when she gave birth to her second son, and no one persuaded Yuan Maojie to take a concubine.
But as Yuan Maojie's official position became bigger and bigger, the Yuan family wanted to have a relationship with Yuan Maojie, and many people began to think about it, thinking about letting Yuan Maojie take a concubine who had something to do with his own family or his own daughter and niece.
Yuan Maojie didn't have any thoughts about taking concubines, and he always refused, but where would those people give up so easily, so he changed his method to persuade Yuan Maojie to think about his ancestors and spread out more, and also made his own wives go to Xiao Huiniang to persuade her to be virtuous, and the husband and wife who disturbed her were tireless.
In the end, Xiao Huiniang couldn't get angry, so she made a Qiaozong drive away the Yuan clan people who were at home, and then they stopped the meeting.
But the rest of the Yuan family is easy to say, but there is a family that is not easy to say, that is, the family of his cousin, who supported Yuan Maojie's parents after the death of his parents, has not been as good as raising grace since ancient times, not to mention this nurturing grace.
Yuan Maojie's uncle can raise Yuan Maojie when the Yuan family is not very good, it can be seen that he is not a stupid and selfish person, it is said that his cousin's uncle's brothers and nephews are also well-educated, and he has a good relationship with Yuan Maojie.
But there is one person who likes Yuan Maojie's life, and that is his cousin.
It turned out that when his cousin uncle was alive, there was still his cousin uncle pressing, and later his cousin uncle died, and no one could suppress his cousin, so his cousin and aunt went to Yuan Maojie's house to live for a period of time every once in a while.
Forget it, since his cousin's aunt's house sent a cousin last year, he has followed his cousin and aunt in and out of Yuan Maojie's house from time to time. His cousin and aunt didn't know how, so they had to deal with it.
His cousin and aunt matched, and he didn't exert force on Yuan Maojie's side, and focused on Xiao Huiniang's elders, and said that she was not virtuous and accused her of being unfilial, and she couldn't give birth and didn't let her husband take a concubine, and Xiao Huiniang was half dead, and she couldn't do anything.
The Miss Cousin who wanted to be a concubine for Yuan Maojie was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and from time to time she asked her uncle to come over to stay for a few days, so she took the opportunity to play a chance encounter, throw a small handkerchief, and throw a flattering eye. Although it didn't work out, there was such a person dangling in front of him all day long, like a fly, who could stand it.
Speaking of this cousin, this cousin also has an advantage, that is, she is thick-skinned, no matter how Xiao Huiniang explicitly hints at her dissatisfaction or sarcasm, she can actually smile and do next, what should she do or what to do, and make Huiniang angry with her toothache.
Hui Niang's temperament has always been straightforward, and she hates the kind of person who looks like a smile whether she hates or likes it in her life, and she looks hypocritical when she looks at it, Miss Xiao San said, I don't have time to play with you, so I can stay where I go.
What's more, today's New Year, the cousin didn't know what to do, and she actually asked her cousin to go to Yuan Maojie for the New Year, but fortunately, her cousin was persuaded by Yuan Maojie's cousins, but she hurt her foot so coincidentally, so she had to stay in the Yuan family.
Xiao Huiniang was also impatient to take care of her, so she arranged a small courtyard for her, and the meals were handed over to her to be sent to the room alone, just saying that the family was busy during the New Year, and her steps were convenient, so don't come out, don't let people bump into her.
I thought it would be okay like this, but who knows, last night she somehow walked out of the yard, and almost collided with the drunk Yuan Maojie, fortunately, the people in the family were clever enough to lure the two away, but Xiao Huiniang is angry, this is not afraid of wolves stealing, afraid of wolves, who knows when it will be so coincidental and not prevented.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huiniang didn't say a word, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she took advantage of Yuan Maojie's opportunity to go to the palace in the morning to order something, left a book in the study, and returned to her parents' house alone with her two sons.
After hearing this, Xiao Shi couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want to reconcile?"
Xiao Huiniang immediately retorted with a little weakness: "Why is it not true, if this matter is not resolved, what will happen to Heli?"
"Why do you have to leave the book and leave it, just leave a note or letter for Mao Jie?"
"What does that have to do with the fact that the book is not for him? Hui Niang said indifferently.
Xiao asked suspiciously: "...... you?"
Seeing that Hui Niang's left hand was shaking with a pen, she suddenly realized that she still had the unique skill of writing on her left hand.
