Chapter 233 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
After getting into the carriage, the fourth lady sighed, "Sister Ru's life will be even more difficult in the future." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhen Wanyi also nodded, deeply agreeing.
"This Sister Ru's temperament is a little cowardly, she came to the capital to take over the housekeeping affairs so simply, and used her own private money to supplement the family, and Mrs. Qi didn't take out a penny, isn't it her own who is miserable these days?"
Zhen Wanyi muttered, "That old lady Qi doesn't care if she doesn't pay the money out of the house, the seventh sister can't go to her to ask for it." ”
"What is this? You see in the Zhen Mansion, when you want to use the silver, don't you just take the right cards and go to the account room to withdraw it. Mrs. Qi handed over the home to Sister Ru, so naturally she should take out all the Qi family's savings, before the Qi family left Beijing, they sold all the houses and shops, and even the fields left behind have income every year, so why do you need Sister Ru to take her own money out to live. You see, that old guy will never take out a piece of money if he doesn't strip Sister Ru'er's private money clean. ”
Zhen Wanyi blinked, "Mother is saying that the old lady Qi has silver?"
The fourth lady glanced at Zhen Wanyi, "That old man is the niece of your uncle of the Zhang family, what is the Zhang family? That is, there is a lot of land, and her family only has one daughter, and the old lady Qi can pull her son up and confess it alone, do you think she is making money by washing the pulp girl." She can be regarded as a character in Qinghe City, a young widow not only kept her dowry, but also kept the family business left by Qi Changming's father, if not, why didn't she look down on Sister Ru's daughter back then?"
"Then why didn't the mother mention the seventh sister. ”
The fourth wife rubbed Zhen Wanyi's hair and said with pity: "If you are in Sister Ru's position, your mother will help you get justice even if she tears her face with that old man." But Sister Ru, if her mother does this, I'm afraid she will make her hold a grudge. ”
Looking at Zhen Wanyi's puzzled eyes, the fourth wife patiently explained: "What Sister Ru wants to live is a free life that she doesn't want me to interfere with, she used to live carefully in Zhen's Mansion, restrain her temperament everywhere, don't take one more step, don't say a word, keep her duty as a concubine, don't get close to me, just want to be safe, and what she is looking forward to is to live her own small life after getting married and marrying." So she doesn't tell me when she has difficulties, and she doesn't want to open her mouth when she has difficulties, I don't come to the capital, she is Zhen's mansion and she is far away from your sixth sister-in-law, she doesn't want to have too much contact with us, she doesn't want me to interfere in her life, I am a shackle to her, restricting her from oppressing her mountain. He smiled sarcastically.
Zhen Wanyi thought about Zhen Ruyi's various performances after she got married, and the fourth wife didn't say that she hadn't found out yet, but after saying that, there were really many signs that she didn't want to have more contact with Zhen's mansion. Since she got married, even if she returned to Zhen's mansion, she never stayed for dinner, always coming and going in a hurry. Later, I decided to come to the capital, originally thinking of going the same way with the fourth wife and the fourth master, but because of Qi Rong's affairs, they couldn't go together, and they also came to the capital first.
When Zhen Wanyi and the fourth wife came to the capital, it happened that Zhen Ruyi was pregnant, and she had only met once before leaving Beijing for more than a month in the capital, including this time in Beijing, she was also reluctant to take the initiative to come to Zhen's mansion and did not want to have more contact with the Yu family's uncle's family. Even if Qi Changming had such a big incident this time, she didn't think to inform the fourth wife? Could this be the estrangement between the concubine and the mother-in-law?
"Then what will the seventh sister do in the future?"
The fourth wife's face is not very good, "I repeatedly advised her back then, to separate her dowry from the public middle school, but I didn't expect her to be tough, and directly use her dowry to support the mother and son of the Qi family. I'm afraid that all she can keep is those pieces of jewelry. The hairpin she brought today is her fifteen-year-old hairpin, and such hairpins come out to wear, which shows that she has not added a piece of jewelry in recent years. ”
Zhen Wanyi tilted her head, "After that, the seventh sister will give her jewelry if she has something, and the old lady Qi always doesn't hold the gold ingots but let the seventh sister cut the jewelry to live, right? ”
The fourth lady nodded, "Many things can't just look at the surface, you have to find the roots, how can a shrewd person like Mrs. Qi sell all her belongings and come to Beijing without leaving any behind? ”
Zhen Wanyi still didn't understand, "Then why did Old Lady Qi have to force out the dowry in the hands of the seventh sister?"
"Take ownership of your own business. There can only be one female protagonist in a family, and the Qi family used to have only one woman, Qi Changming was filial, and she came first in everything, so she was naturally satisfied and proud. But now that another woman has entered the door, facing her son every night, can she not worry that her son's heart is biased towards her daughter-in-law? When she said the dowry, she said that she didn't want a shop, she didn't want a grange, her son was going to study and become an official, and it was useless to stay in Qinghe City, so it was better to exchange them for silver as a dowry, and Sister Ru listened to her words and asked me about this. So in the end, Sister Ru'er's dowry was only a small twenty taels, but there were nearly 1,000 taels of silver. Now that I think about it, the old man planned it at that time, and wanted to consume all the silver in Sister Ru'er's hand first, so that Sister Ru would have no silver in her hand in the future, and she would not be able to act in line with the old lady's face in everything. And after this incident, Qi Changming also questioned Sister Ru'er's housekeeping ability, and he couldn't say that Fenglu in the future would be directly handed over to the old lady. ”
Zhen Wanyi swallowed her saliva, this backyard is really a battlefield without gunpowder, it's terrible, fortunately she doesn't have that mother-in-law to calculate her. When I thought about it, I said it out of my mouth.
The fourth wife nodded Zhen Wanyi's forehead, and said with a smile: "The reason why I chose the prince back then, why didn't I have scruples in this regard? It is better to choose a powerful mother-in-law than not to have a mother-in-law." It's just that marrying you into the palace is not the best destination, and I can only say that I am wronged. ”
Zhen Wanyi remembered that she had been getting along for more than a month since she got married, and found that Qi Rong was actually a very considerate man, and the machismo that he was worried about at the beginning was not reflected in him, and the interests and hobbies of the two of them had a lot in common, and they never had to worry about having no topics together, although many times they talked and did other sports.
"Mother, in fact, the prince is very good, and his daughter is not restrained in the palace. ”
The fourth lady pursed her lips and smiled, "That's good, then my mother can rest assured." It's just that the smile didn't come to my eyes, how could I judge the good or bad in such a short period of time.
