CHAPTER XIV
Ah Yin's family is just a small family, and there were no rules for asking for peace in the past. It wasn't until the third aunt entered the door that Yin's father set up a rule of asking for peace in order to show face. Every five days, the Yin family has to greet Yin's father and mother in the main hall of the East Garden.
Soon after the hour, Ah Yin and Jiang Xuan were already in the main hall.
Compared with Ah Yin's calm and relaxed appearance, Jiang Xuan was obviously much more apprehensive. She looked out of the door and asked in a low voice, "Sister really wants to find the second aunt unhappy?" Ah Yin said as a matter of course: "Well, make her unhappy." β
Jiang Xuan asked again: "How can my sister find the second aunt unhappy?" β
"Sister, do you know what the second aunt is most afraid of?"
Jiang Xuan said hesitantly: "Afraid of snakes? She remembered that three or four years ago, when the grass grew and the warbler flew, a silver snake crawled into the house, which scared the second aunt into a nightmare for half a month.
Ah Yin shook his head and said, "My sister will find out later." β
When the words fell, a gorgeous figure had already appeared at the door, and the golden hairpin was swaying, and it was the second aunt Lu. There is also a female baby behind her, with a pointed face and eyebrows that resemble the second aunt, Yin Yue, the second girl of the Yin family.
After all, it was an elder, Ah Yin got up and said hello.
Lu glanced at her, and said lukewarmly: "Sister Yin came really early," and glanced at Jiang Xuan behind Ah Yin, and said: "Sister Yin is about to get married, the Xie family is not an ordinary family, you are a concubine, and the next person is not ready to lose your own face." β
With that, Lu sat down.
Yin Yue was clamoring for tea, and Lu pointed at Jiang Xuan and said, "What are you doing there, didn't you hear that Sister Yue wants tea?" β
Jiang Xuan moved, and remembered her sister's previous instructions - don't do anything later, just stand behind me, she lowered her head and didn't move. Lu said unhappily: "Jiang Xuan, don't you want to make tea?" Are you deaf or dumb? β
Ah Yin said slowly: "The lesson of the second aunt is that although the Xie family is a concubine when she marries, with the second aunt teaching by word and deed, she will not lose face in the future." When she said this, she had a smile on her face, but she didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, and the mockery was self-evident.
The second aunt couldn't help but be stunned.
In her impression, Yin Yin is a strange girl who is not favored by her master, she rarely appears on weekdays, either hiding in the room or outside in the wild, and she does not look like a girl at all. Even if she usually encounters it, she also avoids its edge, often there are new clothes and new jewelry at home, she does not fight, Sister Yue wants her to give it to her.
Over time, the second aunt felt that Ah Yin was easy to bully.
So now seeing Ah Yin like this, the second aunt asked in shock, "What do you mean?" β
Ah Yin said bluntly: "I almost forgot, the second aunt doesn't know much, I'm afraid she won't understand what I mean." I mean that the second aunt has a lot of experience as a concubine, and the second aunt personally taught me, how could I make a mistake? β
Not knowing much has always been a pain in the second aunt's heart, and Ah Yin is just sarcastic, but now it is a bright sarcasm, which makes the second aunt angry.
At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the main hall.
The second aunt's face changed suddenly, and she sat on the chair with tears in her eyes. As soon as Yin Xiuwen and the Qin family came in, the second aunt's tears fell even more urgently.
Yin Xiuwen has always been a master who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and when he saw the second aunt crying like this, he immediately said: "Why did you cry early in the morning?" β
The second aunt wiped her tears and said: "The concubine originally thought that Sister Yin was going to get married after a while, so she kindly reminded her a few words, but unexpectedly, Sister Yin not only did not appreciate it, but also accused the concubine of not being able to recognize words, saying that the concubine was not qualified to teach her. β
The second aunt knows, and the old man also doesn't know much, and he is the most taboo to mention it on weekdays. When you mention it, you will be angry.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Yin Xiuwen's face changed and he looked at Ah Yin angrily. However, before the words could be spoken, Ah Yin suddenly knelt down and said, "Please ask my father to administer justice for Brother Hao." β
As soon as the word "Brother Hao" came out, Yin Xiuwen and the second aunt were slightly stunned.
Brother Hao? Why did you get involved with Brother Hao?
Ah Yin said: "My daughter will marry the Xie family in the near future, and Brother Hao will also go to Shouquan School." The Shouquan School is full of the best people in Gongcheng, and the scholars pay the most attention to reputation. But yesterday, the second aunt slapped Ah Xuan's sister for knocking over the teacup, accusing her daughter of not disciplining her subordinates effectively. In his early years, his grandfather adopted the orphan of the son of the deceased, and he was praised by the county magistrate at that time, saying that his grandfather was a loving and righteous person. Now the second aunt says that Ah Xuan's sister is a subordinate, if it spreads, wouldn't the students in the Shouquan Academy think that our Yin family is famous? What will you think of Brother Hao in the future? How will Brother Hao deal with himself in Shouquan School? β
After nine turns and eighteen turns, he stepped on Yin Xiuwen's weakness everywhere.
His brother's future is the most important.
Thinking of this, Yin Xiuwen couldn't help but be angry with the Lu family, and said, "Do you want to hurt Brother Hao?" What to cry about! Just know how to cry! How much effort did it take me to get into Brother Hao'er's Shouquan Academy? Why are you so ignorant! β
The second aunt's face turned pale.
Ah Yin said softly: "Dad, my grandfather was praised by the county order at that time because of Ah Xuan's sister, and now Brother Hao is about to go to the Shouquan School, why don't you follow your grandfather's example and build momentum for Brother Hao?" β
Yin Xiuwen felt justified when he thought about it, and immediately asked Qin Weng to open the door and teach the second aunt a lesson on the spot.
ββ¦β¦ Our Yin family has been a kind and righteous person since our ancestors, if there is kindness, it will be repaid, and if there is affection, Ah Xuan is the orphan of the son of his father's deceased, I have long regarded it as my own, but you dare to treat her as a subordinate to beat and scold, I have no way to discipline her, I am sorry for my father, today I want to comfort my father's soul in the sky, so that he can rest assured. From this moment on, Lu Shi thought about it behind closed doors for a month, and he was not allowed to step out of the room for half a step without my permission. β
The second aunt was completely stunned, stumbling on her feet, and almost fell to the ground.
Yin Xiuwen said to Ah Yin: "Sister Yin still knows how to think about her younger brother. β
Ah Yin smiled and said: "Brother Hao is my younger brother, I should think about my younger brother, but my daughter was ignorant before, so my father worried about it." Seeing his daughter smiling, Yin Xiuwen felt a rare feeling of pity, and asked Ah Yin and Jiang Xuan to have breakfast with him.
On weekdays, Mo said that Jiang Xuan, and even Ah Yin were not allowed to serve at the table.
Ah Yin can only eat a meal for his father during the New Year's holidays, usually either waiting for Yin's father and the male family to eat before eating, or bringing the leftovers back to his room.
After breakfast, Qin pulled Ah Yin aside.
"Jiang Xuan was beaten, why didn't you sue SΓΉ Niang first? Fortunately, you are clever this time, otherwise your father will definitely say that your mother did not take care of the backyard well, let alone discipline you well. Alas, why don't you listen to your mother? How did my mother teach you on weekdays? Home and everything is prosperous. β
Ah Yin asked rhetorically: "The second aunt was punished by her father, is my mother unhappy?" β
"I'm happy, but the second aunt is so temperamental, she was punished this time, and she will definitely want to take revenge next time. Isn't there a mess at home then? You married into the Xie family, you can't be like this, just endure everything and endure it. My mother also knows that you are wronged as a concubine, but after all, Brother Hao is your younger brother, Brother Hao'er's future is good, your mother's family is majestic, and you can be decent in your husband's family. β
Ah Yin knew that it was useless to say more, so he was silent.
After returning to the room, Jiang Xuan hugged Ah Yin's arm and said with a smile: "My sister is so powerful, I let my second aunt think about it for a month behind closed doors in just a few words!" Ah Yin smiled and said, "I have to pay a price for hitting my sister in the face." β
Jiang Xuan said again: "Sister, I understand what the second aunt is most afraid of. β
"Huh?"
"The second aunt is most afraid of the master."
Ah Yin shook his head: "No, you still said something wrong. β
Jiang Xuan looked like he was listening.
Ah Yin patted the back of her hand and said gently: "Ah Xuan, what the second aunt is most afraid of is losing her father's favor, her whole honor and favor are given by her father, and once she loses her, she will have nothing." It's the same with mothers. So my mother doesn't love me, and although I will be disappointed, I can understand it. Because of the mother, the second aunt, and the third aunt, they all depend on their father to live. After a slight pause, she said firmly: "Ah Xuan, we can't live by others, we have to rely on ourselves, only when we become strong, we will not be afraid that one day without the love of our husband and wife will only be like duckweed on the pond with nothing to rely on, and we are not afraid of old age and decay, only hearing the newcomer laugh and not see the old person crying." β
She used to look forward to marrying Xie Shaohuai as his wife, because the Xie family Xiaolang was obedient to her, although her mother didn't like her, as long as she married her, she would stay up until Mrs. Xie left. When she returns from Nurk Carving, she realizes that she was wrong.
She shouldn't put her expectations on a Langjun who deceives her, only she is the most reliable.
Jiang Xuan said, "Well, I listen to my sister." Seeing the brocade box on the dresser, she said happily: "I'm going to take the brocade box to Fan Xiaolang now, what does my sister have to say to Fan Xiaolang?" β
Ah Yin took out fifty yuan and said, "You gave it to Fan Xiaolang, saying that it was bothering him to run errands." β
"Okay."
