Chapter 186: Sisters
The sound of porcelain breaking came from the courtyard next door, so clear that it could be heard through the wall, accompanied by the woman's crying, and the persuasion of the people around her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Feng Yulian didn't have any expression on her face at all, she just picked up the tea bowl lightly, took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and continued to do the needlework in her hand. Autumn is coming soon, and most of my brother's old clothes are short and don't fit, so I need to add a few sets of new autumn clothes to go out to meet people. She's already done two, and this is the third. In the Qin clan's clan, life was quite quiet, and she had enough time to do needlework. If she is still at home, someone will come to the door to make noise every now and then, and she can't calm down.
The maid ring brought from home came into the house to add hot tea to her, listened to the movement of the courtyard next door, and then pursed her lips and said to Feng Yulian with a smile: "Second Miss Shen's temper is really good, she is a guest at a relative's house, and she will not be restrained. Why didn't she want to think about it? Not to mention how indecent the words she said at the banquet of the Hou Mansion of the People's Mansion were, just saying that she was born to an aunt, it would be impossible for the Hou Mansion to marry her into the door. That's a grandfather, although it is a marriage to fill the house, but it is not something that a cat or a dog can think of. She has no self-knowledge, she has to be delusional, and now she is making trouble at a relative's house, and she is not afraid that others will see the joke!"
Feng Yulian glanced at her: "She doesn't make jokes, I don't know." But if you continue to chew your tongue and talk about right and wrong in your relatives' house, you will really make people see jokes. ”
Yahuan was startled, and smiled and apologized: "It's the slave who said the wrong thing, don't be angry, the slave doesn't dare anymore." ”
"It's good to know. Feng Yulian said lightly, "You also know that this is in a relative's house, it is not as comfortable as our own home, we need to be cautious at all times, and don't make mistakes." How others are, it has nothing to do with us, just listen and watch, don't talk to others. ”
Yahuan responded carefully, didn't dare to say anything, and retreated.
Feng Yulian picked up needlework again, but this time, she couldn't be quiet for long, and her cousin Feng came over.
Feng still had a somewhat satisfying smile on his face, and he looked at his cousin with a little more satisfaction. Feng Yulian greeted her, but before she finished the salute, she was helped by her, pulled to the table and sat down: "Good sister, what is there to do with my sister? There is a happy event today, and my sister has come to say hello to my sister!"
Feng Yulian's face flushed slightly, lowered her head and said, "Sister, the matter has not yet been decided, isn't it better not to be too public?"
As if to give some circumstantial evidence for her words, there was a cracking sound of porcelain in the courtyard next door.
Feng Shi sneered and glanced at the wall: "Although this family is still headed by our wife, the second girl Shen is just my wife's niece." Miss Shen hasn't said anything yet, what kind of tantrum does she have? Dropping other people's things and dropping them, is it really worthless when other people's good things are blown by the wind?!" She felt a little pain in her heart as she said that. Because she is the niece of her mother-in-law, she is likely to marry into the Yongjiahou Mansion, and she has carefully arranged several rooms in the courtyard next door, and there are a lot of good things in the porcelain furnished, as well as a few antiques. Listening to this movement, I'm afraid that few of those antiques can be saved. What kind of tutor is this Shen family's daughter?!She is ashamed of her mother-in-law!
Feng Yulian asked her, "What will happen to Miss Shen? She didn't do anything wrong, but now she is embarrassed. ”
Feng Shi smiled: "It doesn't matter, Mrs. Hou doesn't look down on her, but she thinks that she is more suitable for another marriage, and she has already talked to our wife." Don't you see that our wife is quite happy on her face, and she has not been displeased at all, just because she knows that another marriage is not bad. ”
Feng Yulian thought about it for a while, and guessed who the object of the other marriage was: "But Yongjiahou's protégé?"
Feng Shi smiled and nodded: "It is that Wu Jinshi, I heard that he has entered Beijing to seek officials, and with the help of the Yongjiahou Mansion and the Chengenhou Mansion, are you afraid that there will be no good future? On the Shen family's side, in fact, he prefers this family business, and Wu Jinshi is a scholar who has entered the imperial examination, and he is more familiar with the Shen family. The son of the Hou Mansion is not bad, but I heard that he was born as a military attaché, and now he is guarding Datong Town, and the Shen family is worried that their daughter will not adapt to the water and soil in the north after marrying. But the door of the Hou Mansion is too high, and they are a little reluctant. Now that everyone has got their wish, they have nothing to dissatisfaction with. ”
Feng Yulian couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. This is the advantage of having a family background and the support of her father and brother, she is also a girl who is old and difficult to marry, and Miss Shen has a family to choose a more suitable family for her, but she has no choice. Hou Fu's marriage, if she can't get it, it is very likely that she won't even be able to keep the family property, where is the qualification to be picky?
She said dryly: "There is nothing wrong with a military attaché, isn't it a different person? Besides, Yongjiahou is also a scholar, how can the son he taught be vulgar? The Shen family was too worried. ”
Feng smiled and waved his hand: "They don't know the situation of Yongjiahou's family, so they naturally have to worry more." Our wife persuaded the two masters of the Shen family twice, but it was the aunt who persuaded the fourth master Shen. His sons were against it a lot, but they couldn't resist their father, so they were relieved now. She paused, "It's just that some people are delusional, and now they can be regarded as a big ugly." Poor Miss Shen, there is such a mother and sister in the stall, and I don't know how much they will be affected. Fortunately, Mrs. Hou took pity on her and told her another good family business. I just hope that she can be smarter, and don't ask someone to rob her family. The one who is now told to her is not the son of the Hou Mansion, but he is also a serious official. ”
There was another sound of porcelain breaking in the courtyard next door. Feng Shi sank his face and called the girl: "Go to the room and say hello to Mrs., the things in the guest house are broken a lot today, I'm afraid that the house will be difficult to live in anymore, ask Mrs. If you want to send someone to the warehouse to get some more things and rearrange the house?"
The girl pursed her lips and snickered, and agreed to withdraw.
Feng glanced at the wall hatefully: "Bastard who doesn't know how to be polite! It's true that our Qin family is her own home, can she lose her temper with her?!"
After scolding the courtyard next door, Feng Shi retracted his gaze and said softly to Xiao Feng: "Now that Mrs. Hou has spoken, please ask our wife to come forward as a matchmaker and tell you to her second son." I'll come and tell you a word so that you have a number in your heart. Next, our wife is going to our Feng clan to say goodbye, if there are any conditions to mention, you tell me first, and I will go and deliver a message to the patriarch. I see that Mrs. Hou likes you very much, and in the future, if you marry into the Hou Mansion, you will be able to gain a firm foothold. You just took the opportunity to mention the dowry or something, so that the clan could be generous. Your dowry is richer, and our Feng family is also good-looking. ”
Feng Yulian smiled faintly: "That's it, there is no need for the clan to make any efforts, I just ask them to promise me to take away the belongings of our house, and then let me take the Yuting with me, I will be satisfied." Even if I marry into the Hou Mansion and have a support, I don't dare to hand over my younger brother to the clansmen. ”
Feng Shi agreed: "This matter is not difficult, just leave it to me." But he also persuaded her, "Don't be too easy to talk, your uncle doesn't know how much benefit he has made for your family over the years, so why should he be asked to spit out everything he swallows! If you don't add some dowry, how will they see you in the future? Is it true that you want to break off with your sister and brother? I dare not say anything else, and it is impossible for the patriarch and uncle to agree. I'm afraid that this time he will no longer sit on the wall and watch, and he won't need you to speak, he will take care of your uncle first, and let out a bad breath for your sisters and brothers!"
Feng Yulian chuckled: "If that's the case, I have to thank his old man for his kindness first." ”
Feng Shi looked at the smile on her face, his expression couldn't help but soften, and he took her hand and said, "Good sister, you have really suffered all these years. Fortunately, the bitterness has come now, and there is only a blessed life in the future. ”
Feng Yulian was stunned, and the smile on her face faded: "I can't talk about enjoying happiness or not enjoying happiness, I only do my duty." No matter what kind of situation a person is in, he must live his life well. I don't have any extravagant hopes, I just want a quiet peace, and my brother can have a good life, and I am satisfied. ”
Feng Shi sighed and persuaded her: "Don't be too depressed, there is nothing bad about the marriage of the Hou Mansion." Although it is said to be married, the front yuan match is very unbearable, and I heard that the small third room was married when it was still in the northwest. The eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of a talented family, but this time the daughter-in-law is actually a widow! The second son of the Hou Mansion originally married her in order to take care of the widow of a colleague. There are more men and fewer women in the northwest, and widows are advocated to remarry, which is not more important than our Jiangnan. After the widow got married, she was also uneasy, and she put in the money, and she was a little unclear with other men, and Mrs. Hou couldn't see it, so she insisted that the second son divorced her, and even the family tree did not have her name. Now the second son said that it was a continuation, but it was actually the same as marrying a Yuan match. You don't have to look up to the one who was before you, and if you do nothing, you will be a hundred times better than her! As for the children she left behind, they have been recorded as concubines, and you should only treat them according to the rules, just as you do now, and everyone will only praise you for your understanding. What you really have to watch out for is just a concubine. But that concubine was brought up by Yahuan, and it couldn't become the climate. You have Mrs. Hou's backing, no one can cross you, you just have to rest assured. ”
Feng Shi clenched his cousin's hand and lowered his voice: "As for the second son of the Hou Mansion, I inquired that he is not a bad character, but he is in the military camp all the year round, and he doesn't have much time to take care of the old and young in the family, so he needs his wife to spend more effort." He may have a little soft ears, and if anyone enters his heart, he will be easily at the mercy of that person, but in serious matters, he still understands the rules and will not lose his sense of proportion. After you get married, as long as you can subdue him, whether it is a concubine, a child, or a family member, etc., it is no problem. Hou Ye breathed another breath and said that he was willing to let your brother study with him. Good sister, you are a smart person, wouldn't this marriage be more suitable for you?"
