Chapter 202: Righteousness

The two sat in silence for a moment, Li Xiaonuan looked at Grandma Sun and asked contemplatively:

"Mama, tell me, if the ancestor is here, what will the ancestor do with this matter of Jin Zhiyang?"

Grandma Sun looked at Li Xiaonuan with a slightly strange face, and said thoughtfully:

"The ancestors have a very long-term view of everything, and if the ancestors are allowed to watch this, I am afraid that it will not be a matter at all."

Li Xiaonuan was stunned, and looked at Grandma Sun with a somewhat gloomy gaze, Grandma Sun looked at Li Xiaonuan carefully, and then said:

"This man, in the first few years of marriage, is naturally good, even if there are a few concubines, it is rare to stay for a few nights, but when the child is also there, and the freshness has passed, he will start to look outside to see this and that, which is also common sense."

Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes, picked up the cup, drank tea slowly, and listened to Grandma Sun's words silently, Grandma Sun looked at Li Xiaonuan with pity, and then said:

"In the past few years, this wife, his footsteps have stabilized, and he has children, and everything has to be looked at, and he has to drop his hand if he should be left, and he will pet whichever he wants, no matter how he goes, it is just a few things, no matter how he spoils, he can't go beyond the rules and etiquette to be a wife, that is, to step on the seat, manage the family, honor the in-laws, teach the children well, and do this duty well, but if the man is not crazy, he always has to respect you, alas, what he wants is this respect!"

Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes, looked at the yellowish tea in the cup, and listened to Mama Sun's words sadly, Mama Sun got up and took the cup from Li Xiaonuan's hand, called the little girl to come in and change the cup of hot tea, handed it to Li Xiaonuan, withdrew the little girl, and then said:

"Not only the old saying, but those who are sages, didn't they also say, marry a wife to be virtuous, take a concubine, this wife, what you want is respect, this concubine, fight for favor, respect is a long-term thing, this favor, how can there be a long-term thing? The difference between this wife and concubine, isn't it here? ”

Grandma Sun sighed and paused for a moment before continuing:

"The ancestors used to say that this woman is to compete for respect from men, and everything must be seen, and only by seeing it can you win this respect, aunt and grandmother is a person who understands it, and naturally understands this truth, this is the right thing to say when a man is an official outside, and this is a wife, so he should stay at home and wait for his in-laws and raise his children, which is the right way

Let's go into more detail, the eldest aunt and grandmother have been married for five or six years, and the eldest aunt has only accepted a concubine now. The eldest aunt and grandmother now have two sons and a daughter, and the footsteps in the Jin family have long been too stable to be stable, no matter who the eldest aunt accepts, no matter how much she is favored, it is only a temporary thing, in the future, there are many concubines with good colors, this man is just trying to be fresh, this concubine, all come one after another.

I am afraid that my aunt and grandmother will understand better, how can I account for such a trivial matter as a concubine, and the matter of these concubines! It's just a few things, and besides, it's not a bad thing to accept a few aunts at this time, **** Okay, in a few years, with a new aunt, there is an old aunt who is **** openly and secretly, and everything is much easier. ”

Li Xiaonuan took a sip of tea slowly, only to feel that the bitterness in this tea was overflowing, and the bitterness went straight to the deepest part of her throat, Grandma Sun paid attention to Li Xiaonuan's face, and said with a smile:

"I remember once gossiping with my ancestors, and I happened to talk about this aunt **** aunt, and the ancestor said, we women are in charge of this backyard, and what big things do with men in the court are not big things, if you talk about thoughts and means, in fact, it is not much worse!"

Li Xiaonuan swallowed the bitterness in her mouth, laughed, put down the cup, looked at Mama Sun, and said in a low voice with a hint of gratitude:

"Thank you Mama for explaining, this backyard is really no worse than a man's court!"

Mama Sun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said with emotion:

"Not only is it not much worse, but it is also much more embarrassing, don't be obedient, don't worry about the young lady, the young lady was born like this, there is no one in ten thousand, now the young man is naturally good, if it is ten or twenty years later, no matter how good the young lady is born, the age is there, where can I compare to the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little girl? This man is old, and he still prefers tender things, alas, in the future...... This is ...... The young lady also has to open a little, raise her eyes and see, where is not the case? ”

Li Xiaonuan let out a long sigh and nodded approvingly,

"What Mama said is that the Xu family next to the prince is only in his early thirties this year, and the prince is in his fifties, and the prince is looking at it, and he is very old, it is really an old cow and tender grass."

Mama Sun raised her eyebrows helplessly, looking at Li Xiaonuan crying and laughing, the ancestor was right, the young lady's rules, no matter how well she learned, she didn't learn it in her heart, how could she say that about the elders? alas

"This is still good, around other masters and old ladies, there are not many teenage aunts!"

Mama Sun said with emotion, Li Xiaonuan frowned disgustingly, and only after a while did she sigh sullenly, looked at Mama Sun, and said with a gloomy gaze:

"Mama, when I think about these things, I can't do it, it's uncomfortable, I don't want to talk about it anymore...... Let's talk about something else."

Li Xiaonuan closed her eyes and waved her hand in disgust, unwilling to mention this extremely annoying topic again, Grandma Sun looked at her, sighed secretly, and said with a smile:

"Okay, don't say it, don't say it, I also feel disgusted, right, the drunken crab that the young lady brought back from the Zhuangzi, yesterday the small kitchen said that it was almost ready to eat, let them send one over first in the evening, the young lady tasted it?"

Li Xiaonuan nodded again and again, and the two changed the topic and talked about the trivial things of eating, drinking, and having fun.

King Runan sat in the inner study, carefully looking at the letter in his hand, the situation on the North Third Road was much better than he imagined, Xiao Ke's trip, I was afraid that it would be much smoother than he originally thought.

King Runan breathed a long sigh of relief, and leaned back on the back of the chair easily, Xiao Ke is a blessed person, ridiculous for so many years, and so stubborn and stubborn himself has been awkward with himself for a few years, but he really picked a good daughter-in-law to come back,

King Runan raised the letter in his hand and read it carefully, Old Madam Li, it is really admirable and convincing! Such a woman is a man, and there are a few who can match it!

King Runan sighed and read the letter again, gently threw the paper into the brazier of the paper, watched the thin piece of paper turn into ashes in an instant, picked up the cup and drank a cup of tea, got up and went to the back courtyard.

The princess took the king of Runan in, waited for him to take off the cloak and robe outside, the prince stretched his body and leaned on the pillow on the couch, the princess took the tea that Xu had trusted, handed it over, and said with a smile:

"Lord, came back early today, and there is not much to do today?"

"How can it be too much, Xiao Ke went out, it's not a few months before the New Year, alas"

The prince sighed heavily, gently beating his waist as if in pain, and the princess hurriedly signaled to Xu,

"Let Xu pinch it for you?"

The prince raised his hand to stop the Xu clan who was about to step forward, waved his hand tiredly and said:

"You don't have to retreat, I'll talk quietly with the princess."

Xu carefully lowered his hand and retreated, and retreated with the girl in the room.

The princess sat sideways on the edge of the couch, the princess drank tea, put down the cup, looked at the princess carefully, and said with emotion:

"You're also old, and the years don't spare people."

The princess laughed and laughed,

"What's wrong with this today? My 50th birthday was over last year, so how can I get old today? ”

"Hmm."

The prince looked at the princess gently and laughed,

"What you said is, we are already old, these days, my body is getting worse and worse, listening to people, listening to a few more words will make me dizzy, sitting outside today, I can't hold on, alas, in the past, Xiao Ke didn't feel at home, he left, things inside and outside, I couldn't stand it."

The princess looked at the princess with worried eyes, and became anxious,

"Why don't you call a doctor to take a look? You've always had excellent bones, why is this the case today? I have to let the doctor take a good look at it."

"No, my body knows by itself, it's just that I'm old, my spirit is not good, don't worry about anything else, rest well, everything is fine, I can't get tired, speaking of which, your body is usually not as good as me, this is close to the New Year's Festival, there are many things, don't be tired."

The princess stopped the princess, looked at her, and asked with concern, the princess shook her head with a smile,

"I don't have anything, family affairs have always had conventions and old rules, and Mama Qiu has also done it for so many years, and there are really not many things to be heartfelt."

"When you're old, you can't be tired even if you don't have much, besides, it's not very safe to hand it over to your subordinates, and it's been two months since Ke's daughter-in-law got married, right? Is your temperament okay? ”

"Good temper and character are not picky, people are really very filial, and they know etiquette and things, and they don't stick to anything, she persuaded me, but a few words, I said that my heart is much more appropriate, and it is no wonder that when Mrs. Li was alive, she loved her alone"

The princess mentioned Li Xiaonuan, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, the princess raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the empty cup, and drank tea, the princess hurriedly got up, took the cup from the prince's hand, walked to the door, and told the little girl to change the cup of tea and bring it in.

"When I first discussed marriage, to be honest, I was really dissatisfied with this family...... Alas, although our family does not use the daughter-in-law's family background and dowry to support the face, but the girls of this small family shrink their hands and feet everywhere, how can they have the bearing and insight of the girl family who comes out of a big family? I'm worried about this."
