Chapter 489: Consumption
"Lao Tzu just doesn't like him."
When it came to the Wang family, Xing Hu was full of unhappiness, and went down to pull Yan Bao's house to find a tavern, called two side dishes, and complained while drinking: "Brother Yan, I Lao Xing is the most envious of you now." ”
Yan Baojia took a sip of wine and smiled: "What is there to envy, didn't you hear what others said about me just now, saying that my family is stained with the light of my daughter-in-law." ”
"Phew!" Xing Hu scolded: "They are red-eyed, red-eyed only said this, you don't take it to heart, now who doesn't want to ask for a daughter-in-law like yours, that girl has made a great contribution now, and the class teacher is still in the future and is not sure how to reward it, although she is a woman is inevitably a little criticized, but even if men and women pacify the border rebellion, if they don't give a reward, it can't be said, and wait, the days of your family's scenery are still ahead." ”
"What kind of reward is not rewarded, if the girl has that ability, she should protect her family and defend the country." Yan Baojia called Xiao Er to ask for two side dishes, and said while drinking: "I don't think about her, I just think that their husband and wife are good, and a harmonious family is the best." ”
Xing Hu also nodded: "That girl in your family has high vision, a broad heart, and a scheming, if she can't be harmonious and concubine, it will be really unreasonable to honor her in-laws, but I have heard that now your family is very harmonious, you, just say these words in front of me to make my eyes hot." ”
"Huh." Yan Baojia chuckled twice and asked, "What's wrong with you and Lao Wang, why are you arguing when we meet these days?" ”
"Ugh." Xing Hu shook his head and sighed: "The family is unfortunate." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Yan Baojia asked a few more questions, and Xing Hu told him with a bad face.
But it turned out that in the autumn, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xing family, Wang, was diagnosed as being pregnant for more than two months, and the Xing family was very happy at that time, and Mrs. Ma was also very happy, so she released the grounded Wang, and asked someone to recuperate her body and tell her to take care of the fetus.
This Wang gave birth to his eldest son and became pregnant again these years, but it was also meticulous, she had a baby in the house all day long, she was very particular about eating and drinking, and the conditioning was good, seeing that her face was ruddy, and her body was strong day by day, Mrs. Ma and Wang were very happy.
It's just that Mrs. Ma is getting older, and when she goes out, she caught a wind, so she fell ill in bed, and invited a doctor to come and see, only to say that it is very important to be sick and recuperate, and ask someone to take care of her.
As soon as Gu Xin, who had gone out of the family, heard that her mother-in-law was sick, she immediately took her daughter Xing Hui to move back to live, asked the doctor to deliver medicine every day, and rubbed Mrs. Ma's back and shoulders without touching the ground.
Originally, Gu Xin's filial piety was a good thing, Xing Hu was also very happy when he saw it, only said that although the eldest daughter-in-law was a little out of tune, but now that she is pregnant again, she is better than others, although this little daughter-in-law is lively, but she is also really filial, if it goes on like this, it is not difficult for the Xing family to be happy.
What Xing Hu didn't expect was that there were people who had a good life but were not too hard to waste.
That Wang had a big belly and was supposed to raise the fetus well, but when he saw that Gu Xin was busy here and showed filial piety and praise, he couldn't sit still, and when he heard several noble ladies who visited the sick praise Gu Xin for being smart and filial piety, Wang was angry.
Wang asked himself if she had married into the Xing family for so many years, she had served Mrs. Ma every time she was sick, but no one had praised her, and Gu Xin had only served the marquis once, and she had a reputation for filial piety, which was really hateful.
She relied on the good conditioning of her body now, and began to compete with Gu Xin.
Wang's baby was also uneasy, and he went around Mrs. Ma all day long, helping Mrs. Ma hand the handkerchief and set the meal, and at night he said that he didn't worry about others taking care of Mrs. Ma, so he slept in the outer room, thinking that he would accompany Mrs. Ma at night.
Mrs. Ma was really frightened when she saw it, and hurriedly asked Wang to go back, only saying that she didn't need people here, there were so many subordinates here, and Gu Xin took care of them, so she didn't dare to use Wang's.
But Wang Shi didn't listen, he was ahead of Gu Xin in everything, he was more filial than Gu Xin, and he became sick after a few days.
Gu Xin looked a little blind, and persuaded Wang a few words, Wang not only didn't listen, but also quarreled with Gu Xin, and after the quarrel, he went to serve Mrs. Houma, who would have thought that she didn't pay attention to it and stumbled for a while, it turned out to be a miscarriage, and a good brother was gone.
After the miscarriage, Wang not only did not reflect on himself, but blamed Gu Xin, went back and cried fiercely, complaining about Gu Xin again and again, Gu Xin's face was pale and his whole body was trembling, but in the end, Wang had just had a miscarriage, and Gu Xin, as a brother and daughter-in-law, couldn't argue with her, so he could only endure his anger, not only to take care of Wang, but also to take care of Mrs. Ma, which really made Gu Xin suffer a lot.
Speaking of this, Xing Hu began to shake his head and sigh again: "Brother Yan, I can be regarded as seeing it now, this daughter-in-law, you can't just look at the family background, the most important thing is your character, marry a good daughter-in-law for three generations, marry a bad one, alas, the family is uneasy, how do you say this Wang family raises children, why is the Wang family so unclear, my family has clearly said many times not to call her over, she wants to show off, and she is tired...... Alas, pity my grandson. ”
Yan Baojia also sighed when he heard this: "Each family has its own difficulties." ”
The two talked for a while, and at last they were drunk, and they still called the little servants of each family to call someone to take them home.
Yan Bao's family returned home, and Lin rushed forward to take care of him, wiping his face while complaining: "Don't drink so much if you don't have such a large amount of alcohol, who is to blame if you get drunk like this." ”
"Heh, hehe." Yan Baojia took Lin's hand and smiled, making Lin's face red, and quickly called the girls to go down, and patted Yan Baojia away: "How old you are, I'm not afraid of people's jokes." ”
Yan Baojia just smiled: "How old are you also my daughter-in-law, lady, I think now, I am fortunate to marry you in this life, give birth to filial sons and daughters for me, marry a virtuous daughter-in-law, and find a good son-in-law......"
Yan Baojia actually fell asleep as he spoke, but what he said was good, and the Lin family who listened to it was sweet in his heart, and couldn't help but take a sip: "Old and not serious, how old are you still learning to talk sweetly." ”
After saying this, she couldn't help but chuckle herself.
Helping Yan Baojia to put him on the bed, Lin carefully took off his shoes and socks and covered him with a quilt, and went out to ask someone to boil drunken soup, so that Yan Baojia looked at the account book.
After about an hour, Yan Baojia finally woke up, drank the sobering soup and rubbed his forehead: "I haven't been drunk for a while, this headache is tight." ”
Lin went over to help him rub it, and asked while rubbing: "Why did the master go to drink with Master Xing today?" ”
"It's not easy for Lao Xing." Yan Baojia sighed first, and said: "Today, the court sent a message to the Shangguan family, our Luan girl has made a great contribution this time, and she has captured Huahua alive without sweating, and her class teacher has to greet the official family in person, some people are a little red when they see the increasing prosperity of our family, and they can't help but say a few sour words, Lao Xing can't look past it and help out, and I have a few drinks with him." ”
Lin was happy when he heard it: "What the master said is true, did the girl really make such a great contribution?" ”
"There can still be fakes." Yan Baojia immediately lowered his face: "It has spread upwards, and the official family can still bluff people with this." ”
"I'm not suspicious, it's just a surprise." Lin just smiled: "Oh, our family is really prosperous now, this time it's not only Luan Yatou who goes out, but also our Chengjing and Chengke, Luan Yatou has a function and has less of the two of them, and I'm afraid they will be rewarded when they come back." ”
Only then did Yan Baojia think that as the Lin family said, Cheng Jing and Cheng Ke just ran with Li Luan'er, and this credit was indispensable, not to mention, their own children knew that it was impossible for those two children to just run once.
Thinking of this, Yan Baojia's mouth couldn't close with a smile.
He laughed for a while and said: "Our family is good, it is all the blessings brought by the girl, our daughter-in-law is good, better than anyone else's, but the old Xing's family, alas, is really ...... I don't know what to say. ”
Lin listened to Yan Baojia talk about the Xing family, and the more he listened, the more his brows wrinkled: "That Wang is a fool, there is nothing more stupid than her, what to do is hard and filial piety, I didn't make myself like that, this woman, the heir is the most important, she gave birth to a boy to the Xing family, her position is more and more stable, who can do anything to her, now that it is like this, there is no reason for others to take advantage of the loophole." ”
Lin thought about Wang's appearance, and then thought about Li Luan'er, and couldn't help but smile: "Compared to Wang's, our two daughters-in-law have become good." Don't talk about Luan girl, let's just say that Shi Lan is a hundred times stronger than Wang's. ”
Speaking of this, Lin suddenly remembered something: "By the way, master, this old man Xing is afraid that it is not only because his grandson is gone, but I also think about it." ”
Seeing that Yan Bao's family looked like he wanted to listen, Lin came to the heart: "I said, a few days ago, I heard that Mrs. Ma was harsh, and she tortured her daughter-in-law all day long, and forced her good daughter-in-law to have a miscarriage, and said that Gu Xin was born in a merchant without rules, and she didn't know filial piety, and she didn't say that she was serving when her mother-in-law was sick, but asked her sister-in-law who was pregnant to help, and her sister-in-law was broken. How did such a thing come out, now I think about it, isn't it Wang's doing, it doesn't matter if she has a miscarriage, I don't know the details and can't say that her mother-in-law is unkind, and her concubine is not filial, this time, she is wishful. ”
Yan Baojia understood Xing Hu's aggrieved mood the moment he heard this, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while: "Madam, fortunately, the old man has the vision to say that he didn't call marrying the Zhang family's lady at the beginning, otherwise, if he marries back such a bad baby, can our family still be good?" ”
Lin's face flushed: "It's also that I think it's bad, just thinking about the Zhang family's good family background, but I forgot that Zhang Wei's temper is still the most successful old man, you see which family Zhang Wei married into is not good, the Zhang family is now down again, I really want to marry her, our family is not also implicated, I am now, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the Luan girl is like a natural preparation for our family, and it is just a good match for our Chengyue." ”R1152
