Chapter 83

Aunt Lan's face turned red when she was counted by Chen's words. After the mobile network finished the meal for a while, Chen turned around and personally helped Mrs. You to eat. Old Lady You smiled at Chen, "You can sit down too." Eat a bowl of rice safely, and then I have to take my brothers and sisters back to my parents' house later. ”

When Chen heard this, he smiled and smiled. Only then did I sit down under Mrs. You. I didn't dare to sit down, I still sat on my side, and from time to time I made a vegetable cloth for Mrs. You and You Ziyu.

Several aunts are waiting on the side. I waited for Mrs. You Ziyu and her four sisters to have eaten before they went down to eat.

After a while, after the meal, I used refreshments and laughed again. Then the little servant on the second door came in and replied, saying only that the carriage and the women who followed it were ready. When Chen heard this, he said goodbye to Mrs. You, and took the eldest girl, second sister, third sister and brother Bao to get into the carriage.

At that time, Mrs. Chen and Feng were doing some needlework at home, and when they heard that Chen was bringing his brothers and sisters to the door, they had to welcome them to the hall. Everyone saw each other and laughed for a while, and Chen handed over the two packs of Poria cocos cream that had been prepared to Mrs. Chen, and said with a smile in his mouth: "This is yesterday, an official from eastern Guangdong came to visit our master, and he specially sent a small basket of Poria cream." The lord asked me to send two packs to my parents, sister-in-law, brother and sister, and sister Wan to try it. I got up early this morning and ate a bowl with milk, and I thought it tasted good. ”

When Mrs. Chen and Feng heard this, they looked at each other and smiled. Mrs. Chen smiled: "I have also heard of this Poria cream. I heard that it not only replenishes the body, but also nourishes the skin, which is a good thing. You've just given birth now, and you have to breastfeed Bao Ge'er, so you should take more care of it. It's okay to keep it for yourself, so why bother giving it to us. ”

When Chen heard this, he also replied with a smile: "Mom, you can't say anything about me. It turned out to be your good son-in-law - our master always thinks about your second elder, and only says that you are old and old, and you should make up for your body. Therefore, last night, I was specially instructed to send someone to bring it to your second elder. I'm thinking about coming back, first, to ask you to take a look at Brother Bao, and secondly, to ask when the eldest brother will come back. ”

Hearing what Chen said, Feng replied with a smile: "You also heard about your brother writing back a few days ago. Just say that the fast is the end of July, and the slow is the beginning of August, and you can go back. ”

Chen said with a smile: "So, you will definitely be able to catch up with this year's Mid-Autumn Festival?" That's a good thing. ”

Feng Shi also said with a smile: "Isn't that what you said?" You said that in the first two years, your brother's official son was not big, and I was still bored when I was hanging out at home all day. Now the official is getting bigger and bigger, but he often hasn't seen him for a year and a half. It's really ......."

Chen looked at his sister-in-law so embarrassed and sighed, and couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Sister-in-law, don't worry." Don't you know what kind of temperament my brother is? Not to mention that he has only been in Jiangnan for a year and a half now, that is, he has stayed for three and five years, and he will not bring you an aunt back. ”

Feng Shi also had some worries in his heart, but when he heard what Chen said, he laughed out loud. He said, "I believe in your brother." I just feel sorry for him as a big man, and he doesn't have a good person to take care of him when he is away. ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she smiled and said, "It's okay. I go out and walk around now, only to hear them all say that Zizhang has made great achievements, and when he comes back this time, he will definitely be able to go up to the next level. At that time, he will be a four-grade official of the imperial court, regardless of whether he is an official in Beijing or released, and then he will be asked to take you ladies with him. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he felt more and more embarrassed, because he said again: "So that the old lady can know where I can think of such a distant thing." What's more, the old lady asked us to take office with the old man, and at that time we will still be thinking about the old lady and the old lady, after all, it is better to be an official in Beijing, and the family will be reunited. ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she was silent. After a long time, Fang Cai smiled and said: "Forget it, it's rare for Sister Hui'er to come, don't mention these disappointments." ”

After that, because he saw the big girl sitting quietly on the side, he smiled unconsciously and said: "The big girl's wedding date is also at the end of September." Are all the dowries ready? ”

When Chen heard this, he hurriedly smiled back. Mrs. Chen said, "It's fine." Just do it properly. The girl's lifelong event must be cautious and cautious, and everything must be taken care of. ”

Feng Shi also smiled and quipped: "The old lady's words are very true. So I've even got my makeup ready. I'm just waiting for the day when the big girl gets her makeup. ”

When Chen heard this, he said casually: "It doesn't matter if you add makeup or not." Anyway, I'm not worried that you, as an aunt, will treat your niece and daughter poorly. It's just a reminder in vain, you must tell Brother Huan'er to exercise his body and bones, don't be on the day of the wedding, just carry his sister on the sedan chair. ”

Before a word fell, everyone burst out laughing. The eldest girl's face was even more ashamed, as if it was covered with a red cloth. Hurriedly lowered his head and stroked the belt of his clothes.

When Mrs. Chen saw it, she only wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, pointed at Chen and scolded with a smile: "What a monkey head, it's really a mean and sharp mouth, and I don't know how your tongue and teeth grow." Even your own daughter made a joke. ”

When the second sister heard this, she couldn't help but think of the bad thing that happened in Youfu in the morning. I couldn't help but smile and said: "Grandmother will say that my mother's mouth is sharp, but I don't know that when I get up early and are at home, my mother's mouth is a hundred times sharper than this." ”

After that, he told the truth about getting up early.

Old Lady Chen and Feng might as well have such a turmoil, but they looked at each other unconsciously and frowned. Feng Shi said to Sister Wan'er who was sitting on the side: "When we adults talk, it is boring for your sister to sit in vain. Take the sisters to the back and play. Don't be restrained. ”

When Sister Wan heard this, she should get up when she arrived.

Mrs. Chen thought that it would be bad for the children to listen to what she would say later, so she pointed to Bao Ge'er and said, "Take Bao Ge'er in and put it on the kang in the inner room." There is also a newly made white fungus chestnut soup in the kitchen, and you serve Bao Ge'er to eat a bowl. ”

The last sentence was said to Chunlan, the eldest girl beside Chen.

When Chunlan heard the old lady's instructions, she immediately owed herself. He said goodbye to the masters again, and then took Brother Bao and followed a few girls to Sister Wan'er's residence in the back house, joking and talking without mentioning it.

For a while, Mrs. Chen saw her brothers and sisters withdrawing, and waved her hand to retreat from the idle people, leaving only everyone's henchmen. Only then did he frown at Chen and said, "You are too willing to be serious." Those aunts and concubines, if you don't like them, just treat them as if they don't have zài, and they are perfunctory in front of them. After that, it will be rewarded or punished, and it is not a matter of your words. As long as it's not very out of line, no one can pick it out. Why bother to say so much about what you don't have? If it is rumored to go out, won't people say that you are frivolous? Even the old lady over there saw it, and I was afraid that I would mutter secretly, not to say that you were unkind, but also to say a few words that would be investigated. Why did you come here? ”

When Chen heard this, he sneered unconsciously and said, "I didn't want to pretend to be virtuous. I'm just impatient with that villain, scolding me behind my back, hating me, and begging me for benefits in person, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world? ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he had to persuade him: "Let me say something that is contrary to my ears, although Mrs. Gu's words are reasonable, but they are also a little mean." There are some things that our women understand in their hearts, and there is no need to talk about them all. ”

Chen also knew that his temperament was very unpleasant, and when he heard this, he was silent.

She also knows that something is wrong, but sometimes, she doesn't vomit and is unhappy.

Feng saw that Chen knew that it was inappropriate, but he stiffened his neck and disagreed, and couldn't help but think of the tension with his sister-in-law when he first married into the Chen family. At that time, she was often troubled by the Chen family, not to mention that she hated the Chen family so much that the roots of her teeth itched, but she was also extremely tired, where could she think that her sister-in-law would be like a sister today.

Thinking of this, Feng Shi couldn't help but laugh and said: "The old saying often says that a knife mouth is a tofu heart. Mrs. Gu's mouth is too powerful, but she has a heart of Akagi. If you encounter a kind-hearted person, it is difficult to guarantee a loss. So you should listen to my advice and change your temperament. Now that you are also married, you have to think twice about everything, and think more about your mother-in-law and your father's thoughts, which are not as casual as when you were at home in the first place. ”

When Chen heard this, he had no choice but to pout, because he said: "Now that I have even given birth to a son to his You family, what am I afraid of." I don't believe that his You family dares to ask me for a cheap maid and a concubine. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he had to say with a smile: "You are not stupid, and you also know that now that you have a son, you can be regarded as having a foothold in the You family, not to mention that you have your mother's family to support you, and you are no longer afraid of their nonsense." So in the first few years, Aunt Nalan was so good that she trained the four girls, and you just perfunctory past. Now that I listen to her calculating you, I have the confidence to refute it in front of your mother-in-law and your master. Am I right? ”

Chen was stunned when he heard this. She hadn't expected so much. Today, I suddenly heard that Feng Shi had broken through this layer, and suddenly realized that this is what he thought. Because Brother Bao is the only heir of You Ziyu, so he has no fear?

Seeing Chen's face full of deep groaning, Feng continued to smile and said, "If Mrs. Gu really thinks so. That's what comes to mind. As the saying goes, leave a line in everything, and you want to see it in the future. Even if Mrs. Gu is for Brother Bao'er, she shouldn't do things perfectly, and she completely offended Aunt Lan and the four girls. ”

When Chen heard this, he was stunned again. I only listened to Feng's slow persuasion: "As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." Mrs. Gu is a single generation in the You family because she relies on Brother Bao'er, and our Chen family has always protected her short-term children, so she doesn't take Aunt Lan's mother and daughter in her eyes. I don't care if I offend recklessly. But they don't want to think about what they can't do to you if you have offended them today. If you hold a grudge in your heart, or hate the house and Wu, and want to be angry with Brother Bao, so that you can learn a lesson...... Brother Bao is only so big, you have a heart and a pair of eyes, can you ensure that you protect him day and night, and there is never a time when you are negligent and stealing? ”

Feng's words hit Chen's heart. Chen Shiden was a little panicked, and hurriedly gritted his teeth and said, "They dare? I skinned them! ”

Feng sneered, because he said: "If you really get to that juncture, it is useless for you to kill them with your own hands." If the rumor goes out, I'm afraid that some people will think that you are too harsh on weekdays, so you forced those sluts to take risks. When the time comes, you will not only hurt Brother Bao, but also lose your reputation, I am afraid that you will also provoke your mother-in-law and your lord to resent, the old lady, your brother and I will be sad for you, why bother? ”

Chan was dumbfounded. Half a day later, Fang asked Feng Shidao: "Then I have already said those things today...... But what should I do? ”

After many years of getting along, Feng knows Chen's motherly heart the most, so she uses Bao Ge'er's safety to persuade Chen, and naturally persuades a quasi-child.

Seeing Chen's chaotic appearance, Mrs. Chen unconsciously smiled at Feng's eyes, her eyes full of approval. This daughter of hers has been favored since she was a child, and she is used to being left-minded, and only someone like Feng can be restrained by being scared for a while. If you change someone, I'm afraid it's really useless.

Seeing that Chen was sincerely asking, Feng Shi held Chen's hand and replied with a smile: "Actually, it's not difficult. Aunt Lan now wants to flatter you, just for the future marriage of the four girls. If you reject her, she will naturally hold a grudge when she sees that there is no hope. At that time, it is not known whether they will take risks in order to be angry or instigated by others. You must know that the You family is not a vine and a heart now, and there are many people who look at Brother Bao like a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait for you and your wife to cut off their children and grandchildren, so that they can take care of your house. You can't give them a chance to take advantage of the loopholes. ”

When Chen heard this, he thought it was true, and nodded his head again and again.

Feng continued: "...... So now you have to hang Aunt Lan and the fourth girl. Give them a taste of sweetness, and let them know that you, the mother-in-law, are not ignoring her, but hating iron and not steel. As long as the fourth girl is willing to be a filial daughter, you are also willing to be a loving mother. You just have to get the word across. Aunt Lan is such a shrewd person, how can she not know the etiquette. Let her persuade the four girls, and then you will also push the boat down the river and make a motherly and filial appearance, and then you will be able to explain in front of your mother-in-law and your master. There is also hope for the mother and daughter - to put it mildly, the fourth girl is only seven or eight years old this year, and she will have to wait seven or eight years to talk about marriage. At that time, Brother Bao will also be older and can stand up, and you will have no worries. When the time comes, how do you want to handle their mother and daughter, it's not a matter of you, who are the main mother and the mother-in-law...... What's more, girls are outgoing, when the time comes, you will train the four girls well, and then promise a family business. That's also the help of our brother Bao'er, isn't it? If you are afraid that she will fly up the branches and become a phoenix in the coming day by relying on the momentum of her husband's family, but will press on your head as a prestige and give you a look, you can also promise her a family with a good family background but complicated interpersonal relationships, and her husband's mud can't support the wall. With such a good thing in one fell swoop, why do you make such a complaining and crying thing? ”

When Chen heard the words of the eldest sister-in-law's long speech, he was already stunned. I couldn't react at all, so I could only nod my head blankly.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Chen smiled and said to Feng: "Look at this sister of our family, Sister Hui, who is also such a young wife. The character is still the plain and straightforward of the year.,You call her like a cannon fight.,She's used to it.。 You asked her to do these things that a housewife should do, but she was confused with both eyes, and she didn't know how to try it. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he smiled and flattered Mrs. Chen: "That's also because the old lady loves and spoils Mrs. Aunt." If you change people and go through so many things, where can you still have such a pure heart. ”

As the so-called sedan chair carries people, who doesn't like to listen to good words. Mrs. Chen was also pleased when she heard Feng's words. Immediately took Feng's hand and smiled: "You are also a good one." I hope you will mention Sister Hui more. She is your words, so you can listen to them for a few minutes. ”>
