Chapter 69
The Chen family instructed his henchmen to marry and inquire about the private affairs of the houses in Ning Rong's two mansions, and did not hide the You family's mother and son, so He Wangsheng came to the door to reply, and the old lady You learned the news, and was busy with the big girl Ruyi to come over to investigate. Seeing this, Chen simply took his three sisters to You's mother's upper room, asked He Wangsheng through the window for a long and a short time, and ordered He Wangsheng to explain the news as it was.
Seeing that the master mother ordered this, He Wangsheng first agreed yes, and then the news from Leng Zixing's mouth was about to be told. It's just another version of "He Wangsheng's speech on Ning Rongfu". It's just that the time is a few years early, and there is no Jia Lian in Rongguo Mansion to marry Wang Xifeng, and Jia Zhu died of illness and Li Kun was widowed; However, the situation in Ning Guofu has not changed much compared with the book. There is no need to describe them all at this time.
Old Mrs. You, Chen and several sisters listened to He Wangsheng's words, and they didn't feel a slight groan, and they thought about it in their hearts. Mrs. You is very satisfied with the interpersonal relationship of Ningfu - although it is the Houmen Mansion, compared to the Rong Mansion, there is no in-laws to be honored above, and there is no family to compare with in the middle, and there is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old brother below. Therefore, as soon as the eldest girl gets married, she can take over the housekeeping business, and no one will restrain and supervise, and she can help her mother's family more arbitrarily.
Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. You's face was even worse. Holding the hand of the big girl, she kept asking for merit and buying good children. only said that if it weren't for her grandmother's good intentions, how could the eldest girl talk about such a good family affair. Therefore, after the eldest girl gets married, she must drink water and think about the source, and always think about helping her mother's family.
“…… You are the daughter of our You family, if your father and your foreign family are miserable, you will not have a light on your face. I can't raise my head in front of Rongfu Concubine, only if your father and your foreign family stand in Beijing, can they better help you and support you. You're more stubborn in front of your concubines, aren't you? ”
“…… I have worked hard with your father to raise you for more than ten years, and now I have set a good family for you and sent you to the Houmen of the Gongfu as a wife...... You don't look at the girls in the capital who can have such a life. You have to cherish the blessings, you must know gratitude, and don't forget your mother's home in the future...... It's time for you to return home......"
From the beginning of the marriage to the present, Mrs. You has nagged the eldest girl thousands of times, and the eldest girl has already heard calluses in her ears. There is also Chen's private shouting and warmth in front of the hearts of the people, and it becomes more and more obvious that Mrs. You's persuasion is selfish. Therefore, although the eldest girl is not obvious on her face, she has a feeling of resistance in her heart. It's just that because of his status as a junior-and he has always been soft and shy, it's not easy to refute it face-to-face.
The Chen family was also tired of Old Lady You's words, and hurriedly asked He Wangsheng: "What you said just now is that you just mentioned the masters of the two mansions, where can it be called the privacy of the inner house?" As the so-called donkey dung and eggs are light on the surface, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized! Who doesn't have some dogskin in private, isn't there still a peaceful place on the face? You have been entertaining and eating and drinking for the past few days, do you inquire about these false courtesies? ”
When He Wangsheng heard this, he couldn't help kneeling under the porch and kowtowing and shouting grievances, crying out in his mouth.
Seeing this, Third Sister You said, "Okay, don't make such a grievance. Let me ask you, is that Uncle Zhen in the Ning Mansion and the grandmother Zhen in the first place? What kind of temperament is that grandmother Jane, why is she so young that she just goes? ”
When the people heard this, they knew that what they were asking was true. Chen hurriedly opened his mouth and ordered, "Speak quickly." What do you have to say? ”
Then He Wangsheng asked, because he opened his mouth and said: "The little one only heard that Leng Zixing said that the old man Zhen of Ningfu was originally a character who did not hesitate to study. In the past, it was better when his father Jing Lao was in charge, since he was obsessed with cultivating and refining pills, he took the hereditary official position with Uncle Zhen, and ran outside the city to talk to the Taoist priests, and Lord Zhen also claimed the king and hegemony in Ningguo Mansion. The grandmother Zhen in the first place is a virtuous and charitable glass person, and she is a scholarly lady, so she also advised some. Unexpectedly, instead of refusing to listen, Master Zhen intensified his efforts and blindly closed the door to mess around with his aunts and concubines. Outside, he also eats and gets drunk, and does everything. Grandma Zhen couldn't see it, and argued with Uncle Zhen a few times, but was robbed by Master Zhen. Later, Grandma Zhen's maiden family made a mistake in office, and wanted to ask Master Zhen for help, but Master Zhen didn't pay attention to it. Grandma Zhen was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick, and she barely struggled for more than half a year, and then she gave up......"
When the people heard this, they were shocked. Chen hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" You said that the first grandmother Zhen was angry with Uncle Zhen? ”
When He Wangsheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "I don't dare to say this nonsense." It's just that when I heard people mention that old man Zhen, they all said that he was a domineering person. What's more, now that he is the head of the family and the head of the family, no one dares to disobey him. Uncle Zhen is like this, and that Grandma Zhen is also temperamental, and the two of them are ...... to Mai Mang."
Hearing this, Chen Shi hurriedly turned his head to look at the eldest girl. The eldest girl was also worried. Mrs. You didn't care much, waved her hand and smiled: "The gentlemen are stronger, and there are some people who don't like to listen to Mrs. nagging." What's more, those daughters from big families are clearly relying on their mother's family to use, and there are many people who don't give in to their husbands at all. Presumably Uncle Zhen doesn't like Grandma Zhen because of this. But the eldest girl in our family is the most gentle and shy, even in the future...... There will definitely be no dispute with Uncle Zhen. ”
Chen didn't quite agree with the old lady's words, frowned and said, "That being said. But people are not grass and trees, how many people in the world can watch their father-in-law's family fall into trouble but stand by and watch the schadenfreude? He couldn't even afford to fall into the well and kill his wife alive. It can be seen that this old man Zhen is not only ruthless and unrighteous, but also lucky...... There are also those aunts and concubines in Ning Guofu, who act so recklessly and domineeringly, it can be seen that they are not fuel-efficient lamps on weekdays. ”
When Old Lady You heard this, she chuckled unconsciously, looked at Chen and smiled, "You are too willing to be angry." What do you say about Master Zhen Bo Xing, but I feel that the grandmother Zhen who is the first does not know what it means to be three from four virtues. It must be known that when a daughter marries and obeys her husband, she naturally takes her husband as her heaven. That grandmother Zhen didn't think about her husband and children, but relied on her family background to be angry at Xianggong, and Xianggong was naturally annoyed. After a long time, even the love between husband and wife is gone. I saw that Grandma Jane was to blame. If she knew how to do things and leave some way back when her mother's family was prosperous, and served her husband and raised her son well, she would not have any worries about the future. ”
Chen heard the pun of Old Lady You, and laughed instead of being angry. Because he said, "That's not interesting. If Master Zhen dislikes the ancestor and the grandmother Zhen has a good family background, why did he ask to marry in the first place? Could it be that it is for the snobbery of clinging to the father-in-law's family? If this is the case, then we should be prepared to serve everyone's daughter. Instead of picking up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother. Waiting for the fall of the father-in-law's family, he gloated and watched the fire from the other side! I said that if Uncle Zhen is really such a person, it is better for our eldest girl not to marry her. Don't catch the mutton at that time, but make a fuss! ”
Old Lady You was furious when she heard this, and was about to open her mouth to reprimand Chen, but she knew that her words were not as sharp as Chen's. What's more, the Chen family is still pregnant with the flesh and blood of the You family, and they are about to give birth. Old Mrs. You didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and she didn't look at her daughter-in-law and had to look at the eldest grandson, so she had to smile reluctantly: "It's not necessary to say this." I know better than anyone else the temperament of the eldest girl in our family, and she is the most gentle and obedient, and she definitely can't do such a thing that relies on her family background to be domineering and shameless. ”
Chen sneered, only holding his stomach with his hand, and did not answer.
When the three sisters present saw this shape, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. Third Sister You hurriedly coughed lightly, opened her mouth, and asked He Wangsheng under the porch outside the window: "We know how the masters of these two mansions are." Tell me what kind of virtue these two dignified minions are. It must be known that the king of Hades is difficult to see the little ghost, the eldest sister is married to be the director of the family, and no matter how bad the relatives and concubines are, there is always affection on the face. I'm afraid that the subordinate will make a big troublemaker, relying on himself to stay in that mansion for three or four lifetimes, and bullying the eldest sister is a shy daughter-in-law who has just entered the door, and her family background is not as good as the Guogong Mansion......"
He Wangsheng stood under the porch outside the window, listening to the wit of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law full of ears, and he also had a wry smile in his heart. At this moment, hearing what the third sister said, she hurriedly opened her mouth to explain the power background of the minions of Ning Rong's second mansion one by one.
Seeing this, Third Sister You simply instructed Ruyi in the old lady's room to take pen and ink and write down the relationship one by one. and quietly mentioned what the eldest girl wanted to ask, if she was too embarrassed to ask openly, she could whisper to her, and the third sister You raised her voice to ask.
When the eldest girl heard this, she was a little embarrassed at first. After staying for a while, I couldn't help but bite my ear to Third Sister You a few times, and Third Sister You really asked one by one and remembered it properly.
It was getting dark. Mrs. You and the Chen family also inquired into the details of the doubts in their hearts, and they had a dry mouth and ate several cups of tea one after another, and then they were satisfied.
Seeing that it was not early, Chan ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes for Ho Wangsheng. He also ordered the personal maid Chunlan to go back to the room and take ten taels of silver to reward He Wangsheng. When Mrs. You saw this, she was rewarded with ten taels. He Wangsheng thanked Dade for his thanks, and went down to have dinner before leaving the house.
That night, when You Ziyu returned home, Chen told him everything about the day. You Ziyu hugged the Chen family and sighed for a long time, but after all, he did not propose to stop the marriage between the two families. Seeing this, Chen was helpless. Because he persuaded You Ziyu to sleep in Aunt Lan's house, he could sleep peacefully.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Chen suddenly launched.
