Chapter 42: My Home, My Lords
At this moment, the eldest lady can't care about pretending to be weak. 『』
In fact, after the doctor's careful treatment, the eldest lady's illness was cured long ago. It's just that I feel embarrassed, and I have resentment against the old lady in my heart, so I keep pretending to be sick. However, after listening to the words of the third wife at this time, the eldest wife's illness was naturally cured all of a sudden. This is a major event related to the future of their sons and the status of their big house in the house.
"Great! That's great! The old lady is really wise, this is the right reason. This red family still has to rely on men to support the portal. That's exactly how it should be. The old lady finally understood. ”
The eldest lady was very proud, in the past, the old lady always regarded those worthless daughters as a treasure, and the status of the third wife also rose with the eldest sister marrying into the palace, and she came from behind, pressing them as sisters-in-law. The eldest lady has never understood that other people's families are all sons Jin Gui, and daughters are just tiles. Why did it turn around when they arrived at their Red Mansion?
She gave birth to two sons, but she can't compare to the one who didn't inherit the family for the Red family?
Now, at last, the day has come when the old lady understands.
The eldest lady looked at the third lady with a little pity and disdain in her eyes. Who called the third wife no son, this time it was a good thing, it was impossible for her turn. So, what's the use of this woman's ability? The key is to have a good son. If this thing can really be done, in the future, in this red mansion, their big house will also have a place. Even, it is very likely to overwhelm the second and third rooms. Thinking of the bright future, the eldest lady's breath became short.
Although the third wife knew that she had always had this disposition, she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart. He sneered and said, "Sister, don't be too happy, this matter is just what we think, maybe it can be done?" Don't be happy in vain. ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she was anxious, and said loudly: "I don't believe it, the Zhou family didn't even want face that day." Don't forget, the little Jia family's confession is from the old lady, do they dare to comply? ”
"Even if this is done, don't forget, you are not the only one in the house who has a son. Over there, I'm afraid I'm already eyeing it. I heard that I specially invited the seventh sister over today, you say, for what? Before, I hadn't seen her so attentive to the seventh sister. ”
The third lady couldn't see her arrogant appearance, and before she swallowed anything in her stomach, she began to shout at her.
So he gloated and reminded: "By the way, also, last time the old lady asked a few of us to compensate the seventh sister." I heard that the second sister is very generous, and she actually gave two shops in the capital to the seventh sister. The old lady attaches so much importance to the seventh sister now, you say, what if the seventh sister says something......"
Speaking of this, the third lady shook her head.
The eldest lady was stunned, and said uneasily: "It shouldn't be, right? The old lady values the seventh sister again, but she is just a daughter who wants to get married. With such a big matter in this house, how could an old lady and such a wise person listen to the words of an uninformed daughter's family? Impossible, impossible. ”
"What can't be? Sue you, this incident is really her idea. Our seven young ladies are really extraordinary. ”
The third lady said that the eldest lady did not come that day, how did the old lady ask their wives, and how did they call Hong Qilai, Hong Qiyi said, what kind of expression the old lady is, vividly and carefully.
The eldest lady turned pale, and she regretted it in her heart. Last time, the old lady asked a few of them to compensate for Hongqi, and she was the one who gave the least. If Red Seven holds a grudge against the second wife......
The eldest lady couldn't think that if such an opportunity was missed, she would not forgive herself in this life.
She said anxiously: "However, Liang'er is the eldest son of our Red Mansion, and he should have inherited the Red Mansion." The old lady doesn't want to see me, anyway, I'm the stupidest, and I don't please her old man. However, Liang'er is the eldest grandson of her old man's family. Wherever this is placed, the family business is passed on to the elders rather than the young. ”
"Sister, you are confused, fame is not a family business, it always depends on personal ability. Where is the truth that fame can only be obtained by the eldest son? It's not a knighthood. If the son of the second room is famous, it seems to outsiders that there is no problem at all. After all, to be honest, the second wife's sons are indeed the hardest working in our house, and their knowledge is also the best. The whole Qinghe County knows about it. ”
But when the eldest lady heard what the third lady said, the more she had no claim in her heart.
"How can this be? How can this be? She held the third wife's hand tightly: "Good sister, you have to help me and help Liang'er." If this is done, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life. ”
The third lady smiled with satisfaction.
"Sister, where is this, what is our relationship, I will naturally help you. However, if you want me to help you, sister, you have to listen to me. Otherwise, I didn't say anything about this as a sister. ”
The third wife is colored.
For so many days, the old lady didn't even know a word about the big house, if she hadn't said it, I was afraid that the big lady would know if it was over. The third wife, who knew the old lady's character well, guessed the old lady's meaning a little, and in this matter, I was afraid that the old lady was interested in the second room. However, the third wife never wanted the second wife to please this.
"I'll listen, I'll listen, I'll listen, my sister just say."
The eldest lady nodded again and again, and looked at the third lady expectantly with two eyes.
The third lady said: "Then first, from now on, my sister should not be angry with the old lady." At this time, you must not make the old lady angry and make the old lady feel cold. Then I have nothing to do about my sister. ”
"I listen to you! I listen to you. ”
The big lady's head nodded like a chick pecking rice.
"Second, where is Liang'er now? Let him come back quickly, otherwise, this matter will be useless. ”
"Okay, I'll tell Liang'er to come back immediately. His father-in-law's house was not far away, and he would come back in two or three days. You can't go wrong. What else? What else do I do? ”
"Third, the fourth brother and sister must be from the second sister-in-law's side, needless to say. Therefore, the seventh girl may be the key person, and we have to find a way to win her over. She must not be allowed to fall to the second sister-in-law. ”
……
From this day on, the eldest lady's illness suddenly cured. After she recovered from her illness, she took the initiative to see the old lady, and seriously reflected on her mistakes to the old lady, and said with tears in her eyes.
When the old lady saw it, she also felt some remorse in her heart.
That day, she was irritable and gave the eldest lady no face. With the temperament of the eldest wife, most of them will pretend to be sick again, and they will not see a shadow for a month or two. I never thought that this time, the eldest lady was so sensible, she didn't complain, and said that all the mistakes were her own fault.
The old lady is such a shrewd person, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and the eldest lady is not such a person who understands righteousness at all. Obviously, there is a master behind him. And who this master is, the old lady can guess without thinking about it. And what they are doing this for, the old lady also understands.
But even so, the old lady was still a little embarrassed.
"Alas, it's really not left, not right."
Cedar served the old lady the longest, and knew her mind best, even if the old lady didn't say anything, she could guess what the old lady was thinking.
She smiled and said, "But are you going to invite Miss Seven over?" ”
The old lady was a little moved, in fact, she also had this idea just now. Then, the old lady smiled: "It's really going back the more you live." Over the years, I have encountered a lot of big and small things, and I have dealt with it alone. It's all this age, but you have to count on a little girl everywhere? Moreover, this matter is not something she should be involved in, and there is no need to resent. ”
"Old lady, you really hurt Miss Seven." Cedar sighed, pursed her lips and smiled: "However, who doesn't know the old lady now that you love Miss Seven the most, but I'm afraid of the old lady's kindness, she can't stand it." I heard that these days, the eldest wife and the second wife also take turns to invite her over. ”
"Oh?" The old lady had a gloating smile on her face: "It seems that she is much more lively there than I am." ”
"Yes! Old lady, there is nothing that no one dares to disturb here. I heard He'er say that yesterday, Miss Seven avoided her house. Poor one, the circles under his eyes are blue. ”
"That ghost girl has this day too."
The old lady laughed and laughed very happily. When you are in a lot of pain, you will feel much happier when you see others being more unlucky than you.
Cedar saw the old lady laugh, and she smiled too.
"Old lady, you are too inauthentic, and you are gloating." Someone suddenly said something outside the window, and the two of them were startled, but they soon heard that it was Hong Qi's voice.
Pushing open the window, I saw Hong Qi with a bitter face, looking at them pitifully.
"Old lady, what are you going to do, give me a word! Otherwise, I will stay with you for a long time, and I will not go back. ”
These days, she has suddenly become a fragrant bun, today the second wife sent someone to invite, tomorrow the second wife sent someone to invite. The second wife was okay there, and she pushed it if she didn't want to. The eldest lady is terrifying, and if you don't go, she'll simply come to the door. Hong Qi never knew that the eldest lady was such a stalker.
She had already told the eldest lady who this person was to be chosen depends on the old lady's intentions, and it is useless to look for her. But the eldest lady just doesn't give up.
Anyway, the eldest lady is also an elder, and Hong Qi is not too rude. In the end, I had to hide everywhere, and I hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. If this continues, she will lose her life.
The old lady called Hong Qi in and asked her, "Let you say, how to deal with this matter to be fair and convince everyone?" What would you do if you were replaced? ”
Hong Qi said without hesitation: "As long as interests are involved, there will always be people who feel unfair." If you are afraid of this scruples, it is better not to be in this family. Now that I'm in charge, everyone has to listen to me. If you are not convinced, you will take my place if you have the ability. If you don't have the ability, just shut up. ”
"My home, my way!"
"Good!"
The old lady slammed the table and stood up.
"Then this matter is up to you."
"Huh?"
Red Seven was stunned.
