Chapter 59: Humiliation
Wang's busy for his daughter's marriage these days is not touching the ground, and he has the intention to let his daughter-in-law help her with some pretending to be sick again, the so-called twisted melon is not sweet, in the end it is the only daughter, and Wang does not dare to hand over her marriage to her unwilling daughter-in-law, I am afraid that this eldest lady will not be happy one day, and directly mess up her daughter's marriage! I didn't expect this daughter-in-law to look arrogant, and unexpectedly went on the road at the critical moment, and quietly gave such a large sum of makeup! For the sake of money and daughter, Wang's face to Situ Ningbing is much better, and on the other hand, he is more and more unpleasant to the eldest son and daughter-in-law who has not added much dowry and can't see more from others.
"I said, old man, what are you making trouble early in the morning!" Wang squinted at Cui Shi, who was sitting down and wiped tears from the moment he came in, and did not hide his impatience.
"Mother!" Cui's period Ai Ai looked up, as if the Wang family was her mother, "Although the uncle is not your own mother, he and his daughter-in-law have always treated you as a mother, this time you have to be the master for us!"
Wang's hand unconsciously moved to the teacup on the desk, and it took a while of fighting in his heart to suppress the urge to stone Cui to death. When I ask for her, I am my mother, and when I have nothing to do, I wish she was dead, and Aunt Zhang is a virtuous, faceless slut!
"Sister-in-law's words are interesting, my mother is the housemother of our family, who can you and your eldest brother honor if you don't honor her?
Cui's was choked by her words, and the originally typed full belly manuscript was suddenly useless, so he had to play on the spot, "Brother and sister are right, since the mother is the main mother, this bowl of water has to be leveled, how can there be a reason for the younger brothers and sisters to enjoy wealth one by one, and the younger brothers to eat chaff!"
Before she finished speaking, Situ Ningbing had already laughed, and seemed to have heard a very funny joke, "I said sister-in-law, haven't you woken up?" said and looked at Cui Shi from head to toe, "Not to mention the side of the hairpin, just say that the flower blooming rich peony hairpin inserted in your bun is worth one or two hundred taels of silver, if this is also considered to be eating bran vegetables, then this bran and vegetables are probably made of gold and jade?"
Cui's secretly gritted his teeth, Situ is a little slut! When he received her gift, he didn't show any mercy at all, but he wore a pair of pants with the old pious woman at this time! He hated it in his heart, but his face was even more desolate, "My younger brother and sister grew up in a honey pot since they were children, how do they know our suffering? For the sake of the dignity of this Guogong Mansion, no matter how tight the hands of my uncle and I are, we must clean ourselves up, otherwise I don't know how to talk about our Guogong Mansion behind my back when I go outside!"
"So the sister-in-law is afraid that the monthly rules in the public are less?" "Each room in the Anguo Mansion has fifty taels of silver per month, and there are also regulations on food and clothing, all of which are compared to the families next to them. Cui's crying poverty is completely vexatious!
Cui Shi saw that she was playing Tai Chi with herself, so she simply didn't beat around the bush, and explained her intention directly, "Gongzhong has a monthly example of fifty taels of silver every month, not more than a penny, not a lot, our uncle is not born to his wife, and the people in the account room naturally strictly abide by the rules, how can it be like a younger brother and sister who took tens of thousands of taels of silver in one breath and no one said a word!"
"Fart!" There was a loud shout at the door, and everyone in the room looked over in surprise, only to see that as soon as the curtain was lifted, a tall middle-aged woman broke in, hurriedly saluted the Wang family, pointed at the Cui family and scolded: "You yourself are a shabby, you have never seen silver, and everyone else is like you! If your eyes are red, your eyes will be red, and you will use your voice to slander our aunt and grandmother, and you will also take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to marry the third lady!
The woman's voice was loud, and the scolding could be heard three miles away, Situ Ningbing estimated that it would probably not take a stick of incense for the Cui family to be scolded in Jinyingtang The matter would spread all over the Anguo Mansion, and in two or three days, there would be another topic after the tea and dinner of the people of Longxi, as for the content, hehe......
The woman took one last sip on Cui's face, and suddenly took a long breath, Situ Ningbing didn't look at Wang's face, got up and saluted, and then gave her up to her place, "Second aunt, please take a seat." He handed her the teacup he hadn't drunk again, "Taste the newly built second aunt in the big red robe." The woman she called her second aunt was no one else, it was Situ Ningbing's second uncle Situ Tong's wife, Sun.
Unlike the Wang family, the Sun family is not the daughter of a famous family, not even an ordinary official eunuch, before marrying Situ Tong, she was just the proprietress of a tavern in Mobei or a widow, and somehow she faced Situ Zhi, who was kicked by his own old man to Mobei to fend for himself. When the old Duke of Shu passed away, Situ Xin took pity on his brother-in-law and got him back from Mobei and gave him an errand as an ordnance supervisor, so that Sun became a serious official wife. This time, Situ Jihua returned to Chang'an to marry the situation of 1510 with Situ Xin, first, to strive for realistic results, and secondly, he was not worried about his daughter, so he thought of getting Situ Tong to Longxi as Sima. The emperor was happy to see him and the two of them fight in the ring, and he didn't care about a Shangzhou Sima from Wupin, so he took office with a stroke of the pen, and the Sun family became a frequent visitor to the Anguo Mansion.
Besides, the Sun family, she can be unceremoniously scolded back for the contempt and abuse of others, she has long been able to deal with the ridicule and white eyes of the so-called famous ladies over the years, but Situ Ningbing has always treated her with the courtesy of an elder, as if she didn't know her origin at all, which made her a little overwhelmed. Seeing Situ Ningbing handing him tea, Sun hurriedly shook a pair of broad palms and said flatteredly: "Don't dare... I'll do it myself... Auntie, you're resting..."
Situ Ningbing sat down under her, as if she hadn't heard her scolding Cui's, and said to herself: "Why is the second aunt here today?"
In fact, the Sun family got her letter and came to help deal with the Cui family, but this cannot be said on the surface, only according to the discussion, using Li Shuning as an excuse. "Isn't this the third lady of the house about to go out, I discussed it with our master, this makeup has nothing to do with us, auspicious must be sent, anyway, our two families are close, don't wait for the third lady's big day to make a mess for the in-laws, it's better to send it as soon as possible to add some joy to the third lady." As soon as she finished speaking, the personal maid had already held a red satin brocade box and presented it to Wang.
The Wang family has never liked the Sun family, and thinks that she is rude and rude, and she is worse than the rough mother-in-law in her house, but the other party is both a relative and an official wife with an order, she can't drive her out of the way, and she has the intention to be estranged, but the people are thick-skinned, if you avoid it, she can shout at your gate, and you will have to talk about her snubbing her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law's family within a radius of ten miles a day. In this case, no matter how much the Wang family does not wait to see the Sun family, they have to cheer up to deal with it, and today's personal family is here to give gifts, after all, it is a heart, although the pair of red gold eight-treasure dragon and phoenix bracelets in the brocade box look how cheesy!
"I'm sorry for you. "In front of the Sun family, the Wang family is always extra polite.
"Mother!" Seeing these people chatting and chatting, Cui Shi stopped doing it, she "rubbed" and stood up from the chair, her face became a little gray due to anger, "I'm also the grandmother of this Anguo Mansion, and you humiliate me like this by your younger brother and sister and this market shrew?!"
It is indeed the fault of the Sun family to say this, but between the bad relatives who hate it but are generous and the concubine and daughter-in-law who always want to kill their son and replace him, the Wang family decisively leans towards the former. "Eldest daughter-in-law, how can you speak! No matter how Mrs. Situ is, she is also your elder, but if she says a few words to you, even if she doesn't like to listen to you, it will pass, how can she be so rude! Why don't you apologize to Mrs. Situ quickly!" Seeing the two annoying people fighting, Wang's heart was refreshed, and even his voice revealed a sense of pleasure in watching a play.
"There is no need to apologize. Sun waved his hand generously, "She's right, I'm a market shrew, and there's nothing to hide." Anyway, I know what kind of thing I am, it's better than some people, it's obviously a broken house under the fence and it's not a young lady's shelf, and I don't know what she is when I look at others!"
Sun's words were like knives, and a knife stabbed on Cui's body, thinking that the daughter of her original dignified Cui family's own family was also a rare daughter of a famous family, if it weren't for the loss of her father, how could she be reduced to marrying a concubine as a wife! All the dowries added up to less than half of a few cousins! When she was a girl, she sent people under the fence, and she had to look at people's faces everywhere, and she thought that she would marry into the Anguo Mansion and wait for a few years for her husband to kill Li Jiayi with the help of her uncle. Li Jiayi scolded her for being the mistress of this mansion with her noble wife, who would have thought that Li Jiayi would be so difficult to entangle her uncle and father-in-law that she would not be able to move him a bit! Now there is another Situ Allure City, who will oppose her if he does not see the sky! He also dragged his relatives over to humiliate her!
The more Cui Shi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was dizzy for a while and said, "Don't be complacent! Beware of not dying well!"
"It's getting more and more unruly!" "It's rare for the Wang family to see Cui's deflated, and he is in a very good mood and doesn't bother to care about her cursing elders, anyway, it's not her who is cursing. After thinking about it, he felt that he was his daughter-in-law after all, so he apologized to the Sun family: "The old family is a person who can't be on the stage, Mrs. Situ don't be like her." ”
Sun smiled honestly, "It's okay, there are more people who curse me not to die well, and she is not the only one who is missing." "Who wouldn't be able to talk about it? She would still beat the villain! Who is afraid of whom!
