One hundred and seventy-seven. Concubine
Wanlan and Wu Xinyi took turns to visit Xie Huai'an every day, and each time they came and went quietly, but Wu Xinyi was a young daughter-in-law who was in charge of the family business for the first time, and her authority in the Xie family had not yet been established, and the ladies in the seven mansions were staring, and someone soon came to the door.
When Mrs. Ming San brought her daughter-in-law Tong to the door, Wu Xinyi was going to visit Xie Huai'an in the other garden, and Wanlan was walking in the back garden to eat.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waited in the front hall, waiting for the sentence "The eldest grandmother and the eldest aunt are resting, and it is inconvenient to see guests."
Mrs. Ming's face immediately drooped: "What does 'inconvenient to see guests' mean? Shouldn't I be called 'Third Aunt' by them? Now I'm also an outsider?"
The girls didn't dare to offend this pungent and unreasonable "third aunt", but they didn't dare to offend the long-standing aunt and grandmother in the inner garden, they didn't talk back to Mrs. Mingsan, but they didn't dare to go back to disturb Wanlan's purity.
Tong tugged on the sleeve of the third wife and timidly begged for mercy: "Mother-in-law is angry, mother-in-law is angry......"
The third lady shook her off: "Rest your anger and anger, what else will you say in addition to this sentence all day long! People are pressing on our heads, and you are still angry!"
She was stopped at the moon gate, and the noisy shouting still reached Wanlan's ears in the end, and she had to be invited to the flower hall.
"It's rare for Mrs. Chen to come back once, why don't you call relatives and daughters to get together, all day in the house, how boring. ”
Wanlan held the teacup, didn't look at her, only took the lid of the cup and scraped the foam on the tea surface: "Have you paid off your cousin's debts?"
Mrs. Ming San was beaten seven inches when she came up, and she immediately felt a little uncomfortable: "My wife is married, and she still cares so much about her mother's family, and my aunt is also flattered." ”
"It's not that I care about my mother's family," Wanlan smiled slowly, "I just want to know how the third wife got out of debt." Look at our Uncle An, it's just that the books are tight, and he can't come back after a delay in Shanghai. ”
Mrs. Ming San's face flashed with resentment and gloating, opened her mouth, and said: "I came this time just to ask about this matter, should Uncle An come in Shanghai......?
Wanlan looked at her in surprise and looked up and down: "Then I have to thank the third wife for her kindness." ”
Mrs. Ming San immediately smiled into a flower: "Wherever you are, it's your own family, and you can help if you can." I see that Grandma An is young, and she presides over the feed, and she doesn't have a helper, if she can't be busy, this Huiping in my family can also come over every day to ask for An, and let Grandma An send her. ”
Zhao stood up in a panic and said hello to Wanlan, Wanlan looked her up and down with an unfathomable smile, and said in a long voice: "It looks like a clever person, and if you can enter the eyes of the third wife, your family background must not be bad." ”
Mrs. Mingsan's face immediately drooped, this Zhao family was married when the former Qing Dynasty did not die, he was a banner man, the door court was not low, called "Tong Jia's", but in the end, it was also a side branch of Tong Jia's side branch, just a family with a reason, and it could rub some glory. How do you know that within two years of this pass, the Qing Dynasty actually died, except for the eight banners in Beijing, the banner people next to them were all suffered, President Yuan's new Republic of China was built, except for the central government was shuffled, and the local officials were almost the same as usual - only the flag people all stepped down. The Han people who were carried the flag at the beginning were also honest, and quietly erased the "Jia" that was added, and restored the original Han surname, and the Tong family was one of them.
She didn't want to lose face in front of the old house, so she made a kind and relieved appearance, looked at Tong and smiled: "It's not worthy of the young ladies of the old house, but it's just that she is calm and steady, and she will run a family." ”
Wanlan laughed: "Third wife, the foreign government only asks about the old mansion, this is the rule." ”
Mrs. Ming San laughed and said: "If there is an elopement in the family, the children will be removed from the pedigree, which is also the rule." ”
Wanlan let out a long "oh": "It turns out that the third wife wants to talk about this...... But Ah Tian is no longer on the Xie family tree, and he is now the Countess Spencer. ”
The third lady was a little breathless, and sneered: "Then how can I see that when the eldest lady of the long house left, the second miss Tian and the foreign aunt were among the people who saw them off?"
Wanlan was already very impatient and wanted to return two cruel words to her, but Wu Xinyi came back at this time, and as soon as she entered the mansion, she heard the news of Mrs. Mingsan's visit. The girl who passed the word was reprimanded by Mrs. Ming San, and she was holding back the fire in her heart, and complained to Wu Xinyi: "The one in Sanfu came to find trouble again." ”
A little girl, learning the tone of an adult, and talking so indignantly, immediately amused Wu Xinyi, she kept going to the flower hall of the inner garden, and greeted Mrs. Ming with a smile: "The third lady is here." ”
If Mrs. Ming San was still a little taboo about Wanlan, then Wu Xinyi looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, and when she came, she was even relieved: "Yes, grandma, I'll take a look at you and see if you need help." ”
"That's not yet," Wu Xinyi sat down at the top and smiled, "Everything is smooth, thank you for the third wife's concern." ”
Mrs. Ming San said: "I just told Mrs. Chen, if the eldest grandmother is too busy, I will ask my daughter-in-law Huiping to come to the old house every day to ask for peace, and listen to the eldest grandmother's dispatch, Mrs. Chen is a married girl, she should put her mind on her mother-in-law's house, how can she stop at her mother's house all day and not leave? ”
Wanlan listened to her with a smile: "Let the third wife worry, my mother-in-law is far away in Yangzhou, with fine clothes and jade food, and the emperor is far away, so there is nothing to laugh at me." Do I go back to my parents' house, just to relax, Grandma An is still in charge, how dare I point fingers at the old house?"
A little elder sister came in at this time and said that the account room had come to hand over the account book, and asked the eldest grandmother to come over and talk. Wu Xinyi put down the teacup in his hand and said to Wanlan: "Then I'll go first, the eldest sister is a good student to entertain the third wife." ”
Mrs. Ming San immediately said: "Then ask Hui Ping to serve the eldest grandmother and go together." ”
Tong lowered his head, even his neck was red, and his toes were trying his best to hit the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
Wu Xin felt compassion and nodded, "Then come on." ”
Mrs. Ming San didn't expect her to let go, and she was overjoyed for a while, pushing Tong Shi to follow, and reprimanding her decently "Listen to grandma in everything", and when the two of them left, she sighed to Wanlan with words: "Grandma is really compassionate." ”
"Yes, the eldest grandmother is soft-hearted and has ideas, which is with his father, General Wu. Wanlan snorted, "Third wife, please go back, you have something to do at home, I won't leave you for dinner, and when the eldest grandmother is done, I will call an ox cart to send Huiping back." ”
The third wife really didn't gossip with her anymore, she had achieved her goal, and she didn't bother to look at Wanlan's face that was neither yin nor yang, so she just said goodbye. Wanlan drank her tea in the flower hall, got up and went to the inner hall to find Wu Xinyi, and wanted to talk to her about the Tong family, that Tong was really a discerning person, and when she saw Wanlan coming in, she immediately excused herself to make tea for her and quit.
"Sister must have come to Xingshi to ask for guilt," Wu Xinyi sent the rain and now led the account room to the next ear room to rest, and said to Wanlan with a smile, "I have a reason, I can explain it to Sister A. ”
Wanlan raised her hand, indicating that she would like to hear about it.
Wu Xinyi put down the brush and said: "First, I am the first to take charge of the house, I don't want to have a stiff relationship with the foreign government, and I refuse the third wife this time, she will inevitably make trouble for the second time, since she is determined to stuff people in, how can she stop if she doesn't achieve her goal? Second, you look at Hui Ping's appearance in front of the third wife, if I don't let go of her today, I don't know how she will reprimand Hui Ping when I go back to the house, they are all daughters-in-law, and they are a family, I can help more, I will help more." ”
Wanlan sighed: "You think a lot about her, and you don't know that if you open this mouth, in the future, the seven mansions will be stuffed in, how can you favor one over the other at that time? Our family has always had rules, and foreign governments can't ask about the old mansion." ”
"It's just that I don't want to let the people of the foreign mansion manage the power of the old mansion," Wu Xinyi smiled, "If the Seven Mansions want to stuff people in, then come in, but don't want to meddle in the important affairs of the old mansion, this point, I still have a clear heart." ”
Wanlan looked at her suspiciously: "Can you control them?"
Wu Xinyi raised her chin: "Sister Huiping quietly, how can I not control it?" The third wife asked her to let me send her, I will send her, there are rules in the horizontal and vertical family, and the outer seven mansions cannot interfere in the housework of the old house. ”
Only then did Wanlan understand the word game she was playing, and laughed slowly: "Oh...... It's a good four or two thousand pounds, Zhen Zhen, but I underestimate you. ”
She waved her hand: "Look at you like this, where do you need my help, it's a blessing that we can marry you in Huai'an." ”
Wu Xinyi's eyes lit up, she got Wanlan's praise, and her heart was also excited: "Sister...... Sister really thinks so?"
Wanlan got up and went to her side, held her hand, and said sincerely: "Don't be presumptuous, Zhen Zhen, it is the blessing of the Xie family to be able to marry you." ”
Wu Xinyi looked at her for a while, and lowered his head: "It is also my blessing to be able to marry into the Xie family, Sister, I really like my family...... I can't love it enough......"
Wanlan didn't expect her to be so sentimental, and she could be moved by a casual sentence to the point that she couldn't help herself, so she hurriedly patted her on the back and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the grandmother in charge of the family is still crying at every turn, and she doesn't have to attract jokes." Mr. Nagafang is still waiting in the ear room, Hui Ping makes some tea, and it will be time to come. ”
