Ninety-fourth
The second wife saw that this daughter was sad like this, although she expected it, she was still a little distressed, but she did not regret it at all.
She slowly walked to Yihui and sat down, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and asked softly: "Hui'er, you are also complaining about your mother in your heart, shouldn't you try this case so clearly the day before your big day, so that you can see Yifen's true face and hurt your heart?" β
Yihui shook her head, "How dare a daughter complain about her mother, no matter what a mother does, it is only for the good of her daughter, and she will never harm her daughter." My daughter is just sad, it turns out that in Sister Fen's heart, the sisterhood between me and her in the past three years is not worth a so-called good family matter! β
"Hui'er, do you really think that you and Sister Fen'er have been sisters in the past three years?" The second wife asked.
Why did my mother ask? In the past three years, Yifen and I have walked together, sat and slept together every day, didn't my mother look at it? β
"Alas! You stupid child, you are naturally sincere to Yifen, and treat her as a good sister, but what about Sister Nafen'er's heart? Did she treat you sincerely, did you really think she forgot about your sister for a good family business? I'm afraid that in her heart, she has never treated you as a sister? β
"I, I don't believe it, if she hadn't really taken me as her own sister, how could she risk her life to save me?"
Because the second wife didn't let her go, Cai Wei had to sit and listen, and when she heard this, she saw the second wife glaring at her, so she said: "Third sister, I was also in front of me that day, and I still remember the scene when she saved you that day." When the maid bumped into her sister, it was the fourth sister who pushed her sister away and blocked it for her sister, originally thinking that she would be pushed and fallen, and she would not have any worries about her life, but who would have thought that the fourth sister would not fall down, but hit the railing to the left, fell into the pond at once, and was sick for a long time, which made the third sister feel guilty about her all the time, and felt that it was she who fought for her life that day not to save her sister. β
Yi Hui saw Cai Wei explain the events of the day in detail, thinking about the meaning of her words, and said in surprise: "Sister Wei shouldn't want to say it, in fact, she doesn't have to fall into the pool?" β
"But if she doesn't fall into that pool, how can she make the third sister feel that she owes her such a big favor?"
The second wife also said: "If she hadn't saved you, how could she and her aunt have moved to the courtyard of our second room and entered the house from now on." How could you be as good as her in the future, if it weren't for your light, she would have been able to read and write together and learn to manage the accounts? But everything that is eaten and used, as long as there is yours, she is indispensable! β
"I also promised her such a benefit, to tell her that she was a good family, and to give her an additional dowry of three thousand taels of silver, but their mother and daughter were still not satisfied, first disgusted with the family affairs I chose for her, and then gave birth to such unequal thoughts. In fact, the ones I picked are all white families, except for those who have a thinner background, and the children are all of excellent character, and they are all capable, although they are not rich and expensive now, but they may not have a good future in the future? β
Yi Hui remembered what Yifen had said to her, and said: "I also persuaded Sister Fen like this, but she said that she said that I was going to marry into Xing'an Bofu to be the wife of the prince, if she married too low, it would not look good on my face as a lady...... "Now that I think about it, I am afraid that Yifen will use her as an excuse again, saying that it is to make her sister's face shine, but in fact, she wants to marry better."
"I still don't know the thoughts of her mother and daughter, I want to marry into a high-ranking family, first I want to be a concubine with you and marry your second cousin of the Lu family, but which nobleman in this capital marries a daughter-in-law from only one family, and only marries one family? Naturally, it is good for each son to marry the daughter of a different family, so that he can marry widely and rely on each other. As for those high-ranking families with noble surnames next to them, how many people in this capital are just about to marry their daughters-in-law, even if they have, how can people look down on her? β
"Don't look at her now as a recognizing ancestor and returning to her ancestry, she is the fourth lady of our Anyuan Mansion, but who in this real family with status in the capital doesn't know her origin, but she is just a female goddaughter, who has been raised outside for more than ten years before living in our mansion. With such a background, she reluctantly got married, and where did she have a good life. β
She has been raised in this mansion for three years according to the upbringing etiquette of Miss Bofu, but in the end, she still can't get rid of the kind of little family spirit that she has been raised by her mother when she is a child. doesn't have much ability, but she is still bigger than the sky, and short-sighted, thinking that with her self-righteous tricks and tricks, she can gain a firm foothold in the homes of those high-ranking officials? β
"The battle in this mansion is not so simple, she is too low to be the daughter-in-law of such a high-ranking mansion. However, the family is not very high, and she will never dislike her, and her dowry of 8,000 taels of silver is not eye-catching in the family of the princess, but it is a lot of property for the humble family, with such a rich dowry, and we support her, her husband's family is not allowed to provide her, so that she can live comfortably. β
"When a woman marries, the most important thing is not to see how noble her husband's family is, how rich the family's property is, but whether the person is good or not, and whether the old man in the family is easy to get along with. If you don't know my sister-in-law and nephew well, the two of you have been in love since childhood, not to mention that Yu'er is now a son of Xing'an, even if he is a first-class duke, my mother will not marry you to him! β
"Mother!" Yi Hui screamed and snuggled into the arms of the second wife, "I know that no matter what my mother does, it will only be for the good of her daughter, and my mother will think about her daughter in everything, daughter, daughter is really unable to repay ......"
After today's events, Yihui only feels that the people closest in this world are unreliable even for her own sister, only her mother, who will always be for her good, and feels more and more that maternal love is precious.
The second wife held her daughter in her arms, caressed her and said, "As long as you can live a safe and happy life, it will be the best reward for your mother." The reason why my mother knew that it would hurt your heart was that she still exposed Yifen's calculation of you today. It is precisely so that you can have an extra heart from now on, and don't be calculated by others in the future. β
"How to manage the house, how to β‘β‘manage the concubine's room, these ladies have already taught you the homework before they show off the pavilion, you are kind-hearted and value sisterhood, these are of course good, but some people in this world know people and don't know their hearts. Therefore, what my mother wants to teach you today is this last lesson: some so-called sisters, even if they are intimate with you, they can't be unguarded against them! β
The second wife looked at Cai Wei again and said: "Wei girl is also a good girl, you also listen to your aunt say a few more words, this so-called "sister" is only afraid that you will meet one or two in the future." I'll just give you a heads-up first. β
Cai Wei vaguely understood the meaning of the second wife's words, and hurriedly said: "The niece's mother died early, and no one has ever taught her niece like this, Cai Wei thank her uncle for her teaching!" As he spoke, he got up and was blessed.
The second wife hurriedly asked her to sit beside her, hugged her two sides and one in her arms, and said: "This man has a famous saying: 'A brother is like a sibling, a woman is like a garment, the clothes are still torn and can be sewn, but the hands and feet are broken.' But when it comes to us women, it is 'men like siblings, sisters like clothes.'" Not to mention the wives and concubines who are commensurate with sisters, even between sisters, they can't keep it up one day, they will stab you in the back for a man and turn against you. β
When the second wife said this, she remembered the past events that happened between the sisters of Xing'an Bofu when she was not yet out of the cabinet, and couldn't help but sigh, and continued: "As the saying goes, 'nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief', this person will never be good to another person for no reason, if there is such a thing as being courteous to you at every turn or deliberately getting close to you, most of them are either asking for something from you, or trying to plot something from you." β
And this kind of woman often pretends to be pure and weak on the surface, and looks like a little white flower in the wind, deliberately trying to provoke love. If in the future, when you encounter such softness and weakness, take the initiative to show affection to you, and seem to be dependent on you everywhere, you must have a more hearty eye, and you must not tell her everything, and you will not be able to take any precautions against her. β
Cai Wei agreed, but at the same time sighed in her heart, not only sad and lamentable for this kind of cannibalism between sisters, but also respectable and enviable for the second wife's hard work and love for her daughter.
If her own mother is still there, how will she teach herself the day before she leaves the cabinet? Will he be like the second wife, who knows where her biggest weakness is, and painstakingly finds out one thing to wake herself up.
Yi Hui may have only seen these things with her own eyes, but Cai Wei has introduced something else through the qiΔ she saw in front of her. She was a little puzzled before, with the shrewdness and ability of the second wife, Aunt Hu wanted to make a ghost under her nose, but she couldn't escape her eyes, how could she still let people put something in Yihui's tonic soup.
When I knew that it was pepper that went down to the soup, Cai Wei was even more strange, the pomegranate was obviously the eyeliner that the second wife arranged to Aunt Hu in the morning, and the lotus flower was too, her two maids were bright and dark, but in fact, they were both the second wife's people.
Since the second aunt already knew what Aunt Hu was going to do to her daughter, why didn't she stop her earlier, but just replaced the croton powder with pepper, which caused Yihui to have a thrill before she got married?
After she listened to the second wife's heart-wrenching goddaughter's words, Cai Wei understood the hard work of this aunt. If not, how can people imprint this matter deeply in their hearts, and never forget what kind of calculation they almost suffered at the hands of their good sisters!
For a cold-eyed bystander like Cai Wei, today's events will never be forgotten for her life, not to mention Yi Hui, who almost suffered from it. Thinking that after experiencing this incident, Yi Hui will no longer be deceived and used by such so-called "sisterhood" in the future.
Today's public case seems to be a battle between two girls, but it is actually a contest between two mothers. The two mothers, the second wife and Aunt Hu, both tried their best to make arrangements for their daughters in order to make a better life for their biological daughters.
It's just that the second wife's method seems to have frightened and hurt her daughter on the surface, and even Mrs. Tai thinks that she is too inconsiderate of her daughter in doing this, but in fact, the second wife's dose of fierce medicine has benefited Yihui a lot from it, and she has benefited a lot!
And the Hu family seems to be bent on the good of their daughter, in order to let their daughter marry into the Gaomen Mansion to enjoy a lifetime of glory and preciousness, but in fact, they hurt their daughter. If her mother and daughter were content, they could have lived a comfortable life without worrying about food and clothing, but they were not satisfied, so they made a scene.
Not to mention what kind of punishment Aunt Hu will receive, it is Yifen, even if Mrs. Tai and the second wife will not punish her very severely, she is still the fourth lady of Uncle Anyuan's mansion, but her marriage is ......, and the second wife is afraid that she will never pick someone for her in the capital again.
