The brother and sister-in-law quarreled, the sister-in-law held her breath and went back to her parents' house, and the eldest brother stayed in the barracks in a bad mood and refused to take her home. The second lady Xu Miaoqing and the third lady Xu Miaoxi were secretly anxious and discussed with the second brother Xu Zengshou.

Xu Zengshou gloated and smiled: "Now you know how troublesome it is to marry a daughter-in-law, right?" Obviously, if you can't get together, you have to use paste to forcibly stick together, and it's boring, so it's still comfortable to be a single person for a lifetime. ”

Xu Miaoqing said: "Second brother, when is it, are you still in the mood to joke, everyone outside is watching our Xu family's jokes." Reasoning, the sister-in-law is the director of the house, and there is no major fault, who in Jinling does not know that the sister-in-law is a virtuous person? Our Xu family is at a loss. ”

As a well-known gentleman in Jinling, Xu Zengshou has long practiced a two-skin face that can't be poked, and said indifferently: "Who has no one behind it?" Like last year—"

Xu Zengshou lowered his voice, "Deng Ming, the Duke of Weiguo, hurriedly married □□ as a side concubine, this matter is full of storms in the city, and it has not subsided in a month." ”

"Second brother!" Xu Miaoqing turned around and took a sip, "It's okay to talk to us girls about this?" Be careful that Daddy beats you again. ”

Xu Zengshou hurriedly got up and apologized to his two younger sisters, secretly sighing that the eldest sister was chatting happily, and there were no taboos when she spoke.

Xu Miaoqing sighed: "This incident started because of the eldest sister, the brother and sister-in-law quarreled and left home, and they have not returned yet, and there are few people outside who say that the eldest sister is not." As brothers and sisters, we know that the eldest sister has an upright personality and an open mind. But everyone is full of gold, accumulating and destroying bones, and the sister-in-law does not go home for a day, and the gossip outside will definitely arrange the eldest sister. The eldest sister is unmarried, and the reputation of the girl's family is important, second brother, you can't ignore this matter. ”

Xu Zengshou spread his hands, "What can I manage?" Do you want my brother-in-law to come to the door to pick up my sister-in-law home? That's even more of a joke, I'm not going. ”

Xu Miaoxi was annoyed, "If you don't go, do you want my father, who is a father-in-law, to pick up his daughter-in-law?" Second brother, you hurry up to the barracks to find the eldest brother, tie up the eldest brother to the Chen family, take the sister-in-law back, and quickly calm down this turmoil. ”

Xu Zengshou got up unhurriedly and sighed: "I don't have a wife's room, and I don't understand these housework, but other people's husbands and wives quarrel, and I haven't heard that I go back to my parents' house at every turn, and I still publicize things everywhere!" What's more, this matter is related to the reputation of the eldest sister, and the sister-in-law said that she would leave, which also didn't take the reputation of our Xu family seriously. ”

"Since the sister-in-law married into our Xu family, she is the wife of the Xu family, the wife is noble by her husband, and the eldest brother asked her to be named the wife of the prince, and she is a good order at a young age, how many young daughters-in-law in Jinling have this honor? The sister-in-law should always put the interests of the Xu family first, how can she run back to her parents' house at will regardless of the consequences? Besides, let's bow our heads and admit our mistakes this time, take back the sister-in-law, and calm the turmoil, but what if the sister-in-law loses her temper over the eldest sister's marriage? Can't you accommodate her every time? ”

Xu Zengshou talked eloquently, the two sisters were a little surprised, Xu Miaoqing said: "Second brother, I can't see that you don't care about everything on weekdays, your ten fingers don't touch the spring water, you only know the appearance of having fun, this short trivial matter in the family, I actually understand it in my heart." ”

Xu Zengshou was also rarely praised by others, and touched his nose a little shyly, "Hehe, I am wise and foolish, and I don't show my face as a real person." ”

Xu Miaoxi also covered her mouth and smiled: Second brother is too unpraised, since you have an account in your heart, just tell your father and eldest brother about this. Our Xu family is a general, and a husband's family, open-minded and tolerant, this time it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, a manly husband, go and admit your mistakes first and take your sister-in-law back. ”

Xu Zengshou said: "It's not difficult to convince them, Daddy is not the kind of narrow-minded person. But what if the sister-in-law repeats her old tricks? We can't all bow our heads back. ”

Xu Miaoqing sighed, "Our family's loss is due to the early death of our mother, the sister-in-law entered the door without being taught by a serious mother-in-law, and our sisters-in-law are not so difficult, the sister-in-law is the one who calls the shots inside and outside the family, the good and the bad are like this, after a long time, the sister-in-law is inevitably a little fluttering, thinking that everything she says is right." ”

"But our Xu family's family is not ordinary, in addition to being the director of the family, taking care of the inner house, and also understanding some knowledge of court politics - how could the sister-in-law think of forming an in-law relationship with the Lu family? Our Xu family and Chang family are all good friends from Fengyang, and now the East Palace is not peaceful, the Chang family and the Lu family are secretly competing, as the wife of the prince, do you have to pierce this layer of window paper to see clearly? ”

"It's not that I can't see clearly, but I'm just pretending to be confused!" Xu Miaoxi had a straightforward personality, snorted coldly, and said: "The Chen family is also a prestigious family that has been hairpinned for generations, even if the sister-in-law doesn't understand, doesn't the Chen family, as a mother's family, secretly give advice?" In my opinion, the Chen family has made up their minds to ride the wall on two sides, one side is stammering with the Lu family, and the other side is betting on both sides by taking advantage of the friendship between our Xu family and the Chang family for many years, which is a bit ugly. ”

In Xu Miaoxi's words, Xu Zengshou clapped his hands and applauded, "The third sister has witty words, and she is actually the husband of the middle woman." ”

Xu Miaoqing shook her head again and again and sighed: "If the sister-in-law really listens to her mother's advice, it will be very bad." It must be known that our Xu family is a hereditary state-owned mansion, with gold books and iron scrolls in hand, we must be loyal to the emperor, and then loyal to the prince of the East Palace. ”

Xu Miaoxi nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, our Xu family is already a top nobleman, a top wealthy family, it is enough to keep the existing glory, do you want to go further?" What does the one above think? ”

Xu Miaoqing, who has always been cautious, also frowned deeply, and said bluntly: "It may be that the sister-in-law was confused for a while and didn't see the undercurrent under this layer of window paper, it doesn't matter, the eldest brother just talks to her well, husband and wife are one, one is prosperous, and one is lost." I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't take our Xu family's position seriously, and will use the Xu family to help the Chen family bet on the treasure, and what will happen in the future. ”

Xu Miaoxi said coldly: "Hmph, she has a good calculation, second brother, I see that you don't have to go to the barracks to persuade the eldest brother to go to the Chen family to pick up people, since she values the interests of her mother's family more than her mother-in-law's family, then let her stay in the Chen family, in the future, the Chen family will be prosperous and rich, and she will follow the chicken dog to heaven." ”

Xu Miaoxi patted Xu Miaoxi's hand, "These are just our sisters' private speculations, and they can't be true." The sister-in-law's serious title is still the wife of the prince of Wei Guo, what she says and what she does, it is only the position of our Xu family. So the most important thing now is to take my sister-in-law home, even if my sister-in-law has any mistakes, we can help cover it up, don't cause trouble for our Xu family. ”

Xu Zengshou said: "The two younger sisters are right, although the sister-in-law has returned to her parents' house, but outsiders only think that she is the wife of the Xu family, and she offends people by saying the wrong thing, and it is our Xu family who is cleaning up the mess behind her back. ”

Xu Zengshou rode to the barracks on horseback, and told the eldest brother about the relationship, although Xu Huizu had a grudge against the Chen family in his heart, but it involved the interests of the family, remembering that the Chen family said "how is the eldest son", he had to suppress his anger and went to the Chen family with the second brother.

When my uncle visited, the Chen family received him politely, and the reception of good wine and food called young talents with official rank and fame in the clan to chat and accompany the wine, and did his best. But when the brothers of the Xu family proposed to take the Chen family home, the old father-in-law Chen put on the shelf of his father-in-law, and said openly and secretly:

"I have only one daughter in my life, and I have been pampered since I was a child, and I have not suffered any grievances. Now that I am married to a wife, I am still ashamed of this unsubdued and stubborn temper, I am ashamed and ashamed, I want to keep her for a few days, and ask my old wife to teach her the truth of being a wife. ”

The old man said so, the Xu brothers could not break into the Chen family's house and snatch the Chen family away. When the two brothers returned to Zhan Garden, it was already the time to hold the lights at night, Xu Huizu drank a breath-holding banquet, went back to the room and covered his head and slew.

Xu Huizu is the heir of the family, he doesn't smile on weekdays, his sisters are a little afraid of him, Xu Zengshou is very arrogant, he likes to play with his sisters, and he doesn't have a little brother's shelf, so the two brothers went home drunk, Xu Miaoqing and Xu Miaoxi didn't dare to talk to the eldest brother, and they went to Xu Zengshou's yard to ask why the sister-in-law didn't follow home.

Xu Zengshou was drunk and thirsty, poured two pots of cold tea, and then collapsed on the Luohan bed and said: "Don't mention it, when I went to the barracks today, I went to the Chen family again, my delicate body and bones are about to fall apart on horseback, I have never been so tired, I drank a lot of wine, and I was still angry." ”

Xu Zengshou pinched his throat, pulled his beard, learned the original words of Mr. Chen, and said, "...... The old man of the Chen family kept saying that his daughter was squeamish and had not been wronged. It is obvious that our Xu family has wronged her daughter and made her angry, isn't this reversing black and white. We have already relented and taken it, this is not enough, do you want the eldest brother to bear the guilt? ”

Xu Miaoxi was furious and slapped the table, "Think beautifully!" The Chen family is kicking their noses in the face! The eldest brother is willing to bear the guilt of being honest, and the old man Chen is only a fourth-grade official, how can he be like Lin? ”

Xu Miaoqing poured a cup of tea for the second brother and said: "On common reason, husband and wife quarrel, the Yue family has nothing to put on a score, raise your head to marry your daughter, and bow your head to marry your daughter-in-law." It is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, and when they talk about it outside, eighty percent will say that our Xu family is intolerant and unkind. ”

Xu Miaoxi said angrily: "Second sister! Why do you turn your elbows out and speak for the Chen family! ”

Xu Miaoqing sneered: "Third sister, don't forget, the Chen family is a scholarly family, and most of the people in the family intermarry with civil officials like the Lu family

Clan, civil officials rely on a mouth, and our Xu family is knighted for their military exploits, relying on the sword in their hands. Now that the world is peaceful, speaking of reason, do you say that the sword is powerful, or is the mouth powerful? One mouth can't match ten mouths. ”

Xu Miaoxi hurriedly said: "Could it be that the Chen family can not be allowed to talk about it?" ”

Xu Miaoqing said: "Who is our Xu family? It's a wealthy family in Jinling, and you can't deal with these people. A little thing, patience will pass, and it will not hurt our foundation. If we take everything seriously, the outside world will say that we are narrow and bullying. But everything can't escape a word of reason, if we have enough reason, the Chen family will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Xu Zengshou asked, "What is the second sister's plan?" ”

Xu Miaoqing said: "If you can't ask for it, tomorrow the eldest brother and the second brother will go to the Chen family to invite you after preparing a generous gift, and you must let everyone in Jinling know the sincerity of the Xu family." ”

Xu Miaoxi asked, "What if the second please can't be successful?" ”

Xu Miaoqing said: "In fact, the key to this matter is the sister-in-law, please give her enough face tomorrow, if the sister-in-law is reasonable, put the interests of her husband's family first, even if the old man Chen still wants to refuse, she will follow the eldest brother home." But if even she refuses to nod, it means that the sister-in-law does not take our Xu family in her eyes, and deliberately steps on the face of her husband's family and adds gold to her mother's face, which confirms my guess - the sister-in-law does not take our Xu family's position seriously at all, and uses the Xu family to help the Chen family bet on the treasure, please the Lu family, and what will be done in the future. ”

Xu Miaoqing's eyes had a fierce look, "What does the sister-in-law want her to do like this?" ”

Xu Miaoxi said: "The second sister is right, tomorrow is the touchstone." Our Xu family can't have such a trouble-inducing sister-in-law as the housewife. ”

Xu Zengshou nodded slowly, "That's right." But I'm worried that my sister-in-law will really be the wife of the Xu family, and she will be retired to the Chen family, and the Chen family will inevitably pour dirty water on the eldest sister in order to retaliate. In order to fight the mouse, he injured the jade bottle and delayed the life of the eldest sister. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Miaoyi pushed the door and came in: "You just have to go and fight mice, I am a copper bottle that has been tempered for thousands of years, not a fragile jade bottle." 166 Reading Network
