Chapter 13: The Day of the First Month 4
Early the next morning, the aunt and grandmother of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion came to the door with her daughter, Mrs. Hou didn't like this aunt and didn't care much about her, and she also knew what she came to the door today, so she only saw each other and even saved the greetings and asked someone to take them to the old lady, Lin didn't like her sister-in-law either, if she didn't have something to ask her, she didn't want to pay attention to her, so she just politely left.
The old lady was also very helpless when she saw her daughter, knowing what she was here for and not saying a word, Lin had no choice but to bow down first, who told her daughter to get into trouble, and she would have to be taken care of by the Hou Mansion in the future, not to mention that now she also has her own little Jiujiu in her heart, what's the big deal if she lowers her head first, it is to bow her head to her mother and not the self-righteous sister-in-law, so Lin first bowed her head and admitted her mistake, and then pulled her daughter to admit her mistake, and then sent her daughter out to cry to the old lady.
"Mother, you also know that Sister Yue is just young, plus she envy her sister for having a good family business, and she wants to share it with her little sister just out of proportion for a while, and the sister-in-law actually said that she will not take Sister Yue to the Hundred Flowers Festival next time, how can she be an elder and a junior? You must know that Sister Yue is fifteen years old and has no relatives yet? ”
The old lady looked at her daughter's haggard face, her outdated clothes and jewelry were a little trance for a while, she looked older than her eldest daughter-in-law Li at the age of thirty, and the heavy fat powder puff on her face could not cover up the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, I don't know when her young, beautiful and delicate daughter has become like this, and she has a lot of pity for Lin for a while, not to mention that Sister Yue is also her granddaughter, thinking about letting the eldest daughter-in-law take Sister Yue to the Hundred Flowers Festival, but she is familiar with her daughter's character and can't agree too quickly, so she said in a deep voice: " I don't care about the house for a long time, and the eldest daughter-in-law takes care of everything in the house, and Sister Yue did get into trouble this time, so she should stay at home and be quiet, it's too calm. ”
"Mother, Sister Yue is still young, this time she also knows that she did something wrong, didn't she come to apologize early in the morning?" Lin shook the old lady's arm and said coquettishly.
The old lady closed her eyes, and it took a while before she opened her eyes and said; "Why don't I call a few daughters-in-law to help Sister Yue look at each other again?" In fact, the old lady also knows that several daughters-in-law have helped each other look at each other under her own instructions, but her daughter is always looking down on the master, either this is not good or that is not good, I have no choice but to say this again, blame myself for being soft-hearted and responding to her daughter's marriage to the current son-in-law, a useless scholar, at that time the old lady had already made a good son-in-law for his daughter, and now I heard that it is already the commander of Jingwei, and the real power is proper, not the current Wenfu family, the father-in-law is just an idle person in the Ministry of Rites, The son-in-law is still doing a seven-grade editing in the Hanlin Academy, and he is not even qualified to take his daughter to attend a good banquet, so he can only rely on the help of his mother's family, but he can't let go of the arrogance in his heart, and he always has to fight with his sister-in-law, if he doesn't have his own old bones, I don't know what will happen.
"Mother, if there are good ones, they have long been left to their daughters, is it my turn to Sister Yue? Besides, our sister Yue is not rare for others to use the rest. Lin said disdainfully.
"I think they look very well to Sister Yue, do you want to stop thinking about it?" The old lady defended several daughters-in-law.
"That's what they picked the rest, okay, when will it be my sister Yue'er's turn? If they are really good, they will not give it to Sister Yue, otherwise why would they choose Xiao Sixteen for the good relatives of the Guogong Mansion, and there is no share of our Sister Yue? Lin said unevenly.
The old lady understands her daughter's thoughts, but no matter how much she hurts her daughter, she will not be confused in this regard, the current Hou Mansion does need such a family as the Guogong Mansion to support, the Guogong Mansion has both real power and a noble family, and it is even more difficult to speak in front of the royal family is not empty Hou Mansion can be compared, what is more rare is that the family style of the Guogong Mansion is upright, the backyard is clean, it is the first choice for many families to choose relatives for their daughters, many families in Beijing are staring at this family business, even if the steproom has a lot of people who are willing, If it wasn't for Sister Qing's maiden family and for the sake of the two children, the Guogong Mansion would not have agreed to this marriage so quickly, at that time, it was said that it would be an exchange of documents half a year later, for the sake of the children, don't make a noise in advance, and pass the door after filial piety, but now it is granddaughter arrogantly raised out, and I don't know what opinions the Guogong Mansion will have, after all, everyone is still just a verbal appointment, and the Hou Mansion's cousin is so publicized, which makes people feel that the Hou Mansion believes that the Guogong Mansion is suspected of forced marriage, and makes people underestimate the Hou Mansion, I feel that the Hou Mansion is becoming more and more unbearable, and my granddaughter's character is clear to me, the Guogong Mansion will not look down on it, even if I want to help my daughter, I can't help it, why should I be a villain in front of my son and daughter-in-law.
"You have to know that the family affairs of the Guogong Mansion are not up to our Hou Mansion, so put away your careful thoughts." The old lady said with a calm face.
"Mother, look at what you said, I'm just anxious for Sister Yue, Sister Yue is fifteen years old, just a few months younger, Sister Ru'er already has such a good family affair, but our Sister Yue has not yet appeared, what do you tell me to do?" Lin said anxiously, defending himself, for fear that his mother would be suspicious of him, so he would no longer pay attention to himself.
"Alas, it's all debts, this time let the boss tell her daughter-in-law to bring Sister Yue when she arrives, you have to tell Sister Yue, if you talk nonsense again, it's useless to ask me to come here." The old lady said compromisedly, after all, it was her own daughter.
"Mother, I know that you love your daughter the most, Sister Yue is a person who understands the rules, she will not mess around again, she was just in a hurry to share with her little sister yesterday, I will teach her again after I go back, so that she will stabilize the focus in the future." The goal was achieved, and Lin was happy.
"Well, Sister Yue'er's rules are to be tightened, and you can't indulge her too much." The old lady said solemnly.
"Mother, I know, and Sister Yue is a kind child, you see, the child heard that Sister Xin'er's health has improved, so he wanted to copy the scriptures to thank the Bodhisattva, and asked the sister-in-law when she would go to see the two nephews, and she had to go to see it in person to rest assured." The Lin family achieved a goal and sounded without any traces, thinking that when the time comes, Sister Yue will go to the Guogong Mansion together, in case the eyes of the old lady and the two children are met, it is best to be able to enter the eyes of the prince, and it will be much easier to marry into the Guogong Mansion at that time, how can such a good marriage be cheap like the girl, it should be my Sister Yue'er, and when the time comes, Sister Yue will be the wife of the first grade, and the husband will be able to go further, and there will be no need to squat in the place of the Hanlin Courtyard, His two brothers will have a brother-in-law to support them in their careers in the future, and they will definitely be able to have a smooth road, thinking that the Lin family seems to be able to see the scenery of their daughter after becoming the wife of the prince, the smile on his face will become more and more bright.
"Well, Sister Yue is sensible, very good, the day after tomorrow, the eldest daughter-in-law took Sister Ru and her daughter-in-law to the Guogong Mansion together, saying that it was to see Sister Xin, if it weren't for the old body and bones, I couldn't move, I wanted to go and see it, the day after tomorrow, Sister Yue and the eldest daughter-in-law went to see Sister Xin on my behalf, and when the time comes, come back and talk to me." The old lady said kindly, thinking that the child is rare to be sensible, so he should encourage him a lot, not to mention that everyone goes together, and can ease the relationship between his granddaughter and everyone, so that the eldest daughter-in-law can take more knowledge It is also good, so she followed Lin's words and said, the old lady didn't know the little Jiujiu in Lin's heart, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy, it can only be said that the old lady still thinks too well about his daughter.
The Lin family left their daughter behind to explain, and happily left alone, as if her daughter was not far from Mrs. Yipin.
Gu Mingxin was still picking her fingers boredly at the moment, completely unaware that there were so many people playing with her father's idea, rushing to brush up on her father's favor, and even paid attention to their brothers and sisters
