Chapter 25: The Hearts of Parents
Chapter 25: The Heart of Parents
"We are talking about taking advantage of the good things of the third child to hold a banquet at home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" As soon as Manjushri saw Bo Yan, he got up and walked over.
"Mom, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first." Bo Yan waited for Manjushri to approach, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "There is a party in the afternoon, and I smell of wine." ”
"Let's go." Mrs. Zhang looked at her eldest son's face carefully, a little ruddy, but not drunk, and he looked good: "You don't have to worry about me, Manjushri can go too." ”
She's not one of those mothers-in-law who isn't enlightened. After marrying a daughter-in-law and entering the door, the important thing is that the relationship between the young couple is good.
Wenju can't rest assured that her husband will take care of her personally, and Mrs. Zhang will only think that she is considerate and thoughtful.
This daughter-in-law acts generously, never plays with Bo Yan's temper, and the affairs of the family are also in line with Mrs. Zhang's wishes.
There is only one thing, married to the Zhang family for a few years, and has not been able to add a great-grandson, which really makes Mrs. Zhang regret every time she thinks about it.
"When you all settle down, your father and I will be relieved." Mrs. Zhang lovingly groped Zhang Chengyan's shoulder and said with great emotion.
Youqing laughed at her mother: "Didn't you still say that your children are debts, and you have always been worried about them since you were born." Now I say that I can rest assured, but I don't believe it anyway. ”
I don't know if this is true for all mothers. For example, Bo Yan successfully married a young grandmother who was very satisfied with the whole family, but Mrs. Zhang was still worried about when her grandchildren would be born; The second Zhang Manqing, married to Song Muzhi, a classmate she picked, has nothing to say about her character and knowledge, although her family background is slightly inferior, but people like the Zhang family do not lack one or two prominent relatives, and they have been married for a year, Manqing is successfully pregnant, and the only thing that Mrs. Zhang is worried about is that she hopes that Manqing can get a man in one fell swoop, and it can be regarded as a foothold in her in-law's family. There are two small ones left, and Mrs. Zhang's most simple wish is to study hard before she is an adult, and get married as soon as possible if she is not married.
The Zhang family's banquet was very lively, not only did he admit that he wanted to take this opportunity to introduce Sun Minzhen to his family, but even the pregnant second Manqing must also participate.
Zhang Manqing's family lives in a small mansion where the Zhang family marries.
Now known as the 'Song Mansion', it is located on the famous Yuyuan Road in the western part of the city, with tall trees and quiet surroundings, and is close to the mansions of some political foreigners or the former residences of celebrities. Elegantly from under the standing plane tree to wash melodious piano music, the corridor in the room is circuitous, up and down, mainly in the oriental decoration style, with celebrity handwritten calligraphy and painting.
This is the style that Mrs. Song likes.
Zhang Manqing's mother-in-law, Mrs. Song, is a Manchu Gege, and what she often talks about is "When I was young, our family was a serious red belt." Not to mention Sijiu City, at that time I went to the palace to say hello to Lafayette, and there was a sedan chair waiting at the gate of the palace early... Fortunately, I still understand it in my heart, otherwise I would have fallen in love with the master early. It is said that we are all away from the horse, and we have learned the knowledge of the Han people, and I am afraid that we will lose the things of our ancestors. The people's hearts are unpredictable, and the geese who hunt geese all year round let the geese peck their eyes, and the good court has no ・・・・・・"
However, a group of chaotic ministers and thieves have become the climate, but the daughter-in-law Minzhen's maiden family is an important member of the new government, and it is not good to say this in front of Zhang Manqing, so I have to swallow it silently.
"Oh, there is a sedan chair waiting at the gate of the palace, and it must have been an extremely decent family at that time." Zhang Manqing was very impressed and persuaded her mother-in-law: "Half of the blessing is in the parents, and half is in the children." Now there is Mu Zhi, we honor you, this is not my mother's family Ming'er is going to hold a banquet, I invite all relatives and friends who know each other, and I specially said that I want to invite you over for a lively day. ”
Let's go by yourself. Such a 'deliberate', I didn't see a phone call.
Mrs. Song said implicitly: "Thank you, my in-laws, for thinking about me, it's just that I have a migraine in the past two days." I was afraid that you would think about it, so I didn't talk about it. ”
I don't want to go!
Zhang Manqing had already been mentally prepared, and her mother-in-law would have less than ten banquets. Her pride is engraved in her bones, the society outside has changed, and no one flatters her even when she goes out. But asking Mrs. Song to flatter others is 100% impossible for her. Over time, I will be out of sight and out of mind, and I will have a migraine every time I have a banquet.
"Give Dr. Lin a call and ask him to come over and show his wife." Whether it is serious or not is what Mrs. Song said, but Zhang Manqing, as a daughter-in-law, can't take it lightly: "A headache is not a trivial matter," and as she spoke, she helped Mrs. Song up and asked her to go to bed and lie down.
"Let Mama Zhang come, you are a person with a double body." Mrs. Song enjoys the pleasure of being served, but now her grandson is more important, and she doesn't want to hurt Jin Sun by not paying attention.
Zhang's mother, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Song up, her eyes were full of relief and satisfaction.
Zhang's mother is Mrs. Song's marrying maid, she has never married in her life, and she has accompanied Mrs. Song through ups and downs. Although they are slaves, they are like sisters.
Manqing's maidservant was frightened when she watched from the side, and forcibly watched Mrs. Song and her party turn the stairs before she stepped forward to support Zhang Manqing, and said disapprovingly: "Miss, are you okay?" Soon, Dr. Lin will come to show you, and Mrs. will tell you to be careful even after three months........."
The wife she said was not Mrs. Song, but Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Manqing's mother.
Manqing listened to the chatter of the maidservant, and her eyes looked through the plum blossom window railing cast in the air, looking at the green grass and prosperous courtyard outside, thinking about her own thoughts.
Mrs. Song is a declining Gege, and the poor are only arrogant nobles. Looks good to get along with, and doesn't care about everything. In fact, Mu Zhi's study in Japan was funded by the Zhang family, and now the family lives with Manqing's dowry.
It's not that you're not picky, it's that you don't have a picky stance.
Zhang Manqing knew it, but she was willing to close her eyes and pretend to be stupid.
Mu Zhi has no father since he was a child, and Mrs. Song was of noble birth, but for the sake of her son, she sold her family's meager property to raise Mu Zhi. It wasn't until later that with the support of the Zhang family, the life of their mother and son gradually improved.
The problem is that it is obviously relying on the Zhang family that life is getting better. But this lady is always more polite and less affectionate when she treats Zhang Manqing.
Fortunately, Zhang Manqing is a little big in her bones, if she is not affectionate, she will not be affectionate, what she likes is Song Muzhi, her mother-in-law is an indispensable accessory, she can't change it, she accepts it calmly, and the family is not unable to raise an idler.
"Let's go, help me pick out beautiful clothes, I can go out."
