The second wife helped Mrs. Cheng into the upper room, sat down and drank a few sips of warm tea, and then listened to Mrs. Tai: "I originally wanted Brother Cheng and Sister Fen to be raised in front of me, but now Sister Fen is in the water and sick in bed, and it is not easy to move, I am afraid that I will have to live in your yard for a few more days, and then move back when I am cured." ”

The second wife hurriedly said: "Even if my mother doesn't say it, my daughter-in-law also thinks so, not to mention that this time Sister Fen'er fell into the water to save her sister Yihui, and the daughter-in-law will take good care of her." The daughter-in-law still has a thought in her heart, if her mother is willing to give her up, she will wait for her illness to heal, and she will still let her live in my yard after she recovers, just as she and Sister Hui and her sisters are companions! ”

Although Mrs. Tai knew that her second daughter-in-law was the most appropriate person, she didn't expect her to be so virtuous and generous, and took the initiative to raise Sister Fen by her side, which was unexpected. In the end, it would be better to follow her mother-in-law Sister Yu Fen'er in the future, so she nodded, praised her a few words, and let her go.

Sister Infen lived in Yihui's bedroom to recuperate, so the second wife temporarily moved her daughter to her room to sleep with her, and at the same time ordered someone to repaint and clean up the long-vacant east wing. This courtyard was originally a four-room house, and at that time this east wing was the boudoir of the eldest girl Yizhi, and later she moved to the courtyard of the old lady of Xuhui Hall to live, but because Mrs. Tai spoke, this east wing room was still kept for her.

Because there have not been many people living here for many years, when the second wife moved from the main courtyard with her children, she let her daughter live in the west wing where Yifei originally lived. Originally, she didn't want to clean up this east wing again, but now that Yifen sacrificed herself to save her sister Hui, she no longer likes her mother and son, and she has to thank her for this love, just to reduce the guilt in her daughter's heart, she also plans to let Yifen live in this courtyard from now on.

If this Sister Fen is really good, she is willing to raise her for a little bit, go back and pick a good family affair for her, give her more dowry, and repay Sister Hui'er owes her for saving her.

These days, Yi Hui has been a little relieved by Yi Fen's various earnestness and pettiness towards her, and this time she saw that this sister fell into the water and fell ill in order to save her, and she felt even more guilty. Therefore, in addition to accompanying and serving her mother every day, she stayed in front of Yifen's bed and took care of her sister-in-law personally.

didn't expect that on the third day, Shangyifen suddenly had a high fever, talked nonsense one after another, and kept calling her mother. Yi Hui compared her heart to her heart, feeling that if she was seriously ill, she would also look forward to her mother being able to take care of her at the bedside, so she went to tell her mother that she wanted Aunt Hu to take care of Yifen for a few days.

The second wife knew that her daughter was pure and kind, and she couldn't bear to brush off her love for her daughter, and she didn't want her daughter to think that she was unreasonable, although she still didn't want to see Aunt Hu, she still went to tell Mrs. Hu in person, and wanted to take Aunt Hu to take care of Sister Fen in the courtyard of the second room.

Originally, when Yifen just fell into the water, her brother Yicheng begged the old lady to let Aunt Hu take care of her sister, but Mrs. Tai considered that the second wife did not agree to him, and now that the second wife said it herself, Mrs. Tai agreed.

Aunt Hu has been locked up for so many days, and she has thought countless times in her heart what would happen if she came out, but now she finally left the small courtyard by taking the opportunity to take care of her daughter, and she was really happy. On the face, he had to pretend to be anxious about his daughter's illness, and he was guarding his daughter's bed without untying his clothes, and he was even more respectful to the second wife and Yihui in every way, and he was cautious, humble and obedient everywhere. I don't see her high-spirited when she first entered the house, she just blindly did a little low, and even the maids and women in the courtyard were flattered everywhere.

Naturally, all her actions did not escape the eyes of the second wife, and the maids and mothers-in-law in this courtyard were all loyal servants who had followed the second wife for many years. I took all the benefits with a smile, and as soon as I turned around, I took them to the second wife to show up.

The second wife naturally knew what Aunt Hu was trying to curry favor with everywhere. Sister Nafen'er's illness was sometimes good and sometimes bad, but it took three months to barely get better.

This morning, Yi Hui went to her mother's room to say hello, the mother and daughter talked for a while, and the second wife saw that she was not as good as before, and looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, so she asked her: "What else do you have to hide from your own mother, just say what you want to say!" ”

Although Yi Hui felt a little embarrassed, she couldn't stand Yifen's tearful pleas several times these days, and she had already agreed, so she had to twist her hand and say, "Mother, although Sister Fen's illness has been cured, she has experienced this illness and her body is much weaker. Seeing that autumn was coming soon, and the weather was getting colder day by day, my daughter thought that it would be better to let her aunt stay with her for a few more days, so as to take care of her body, and begged, begged her mother......"

When Sister Hui said this, she saw her mother looking at her with good eyes, with no expression on her face, still as usual, and she couldn't see any joy or anger, so she was cowardly in her heart, and she couldn't say half a sentence of that sentence anymore, and she didn't dare to look at her mother's eyes again, just stood there with her head down, and pinched the handkerchief in her hand uneasily.

After a long time, she heard her mother sigh and say, "You child is really a kind-hearted person, and I can't reply to Sister Fen'er's plea, but I'm afraid that I'm not happy." You don't have to dwell on it here, for the sake of Sister Fen'er saving you, I promise you that it is. It's just that you also have to remember that although Sister Fen saved you, this love has to be repaid for you by her mother, so her mother took her to live by her side, and then found her a good family in the future, and then added a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver to her, which is enough to repay her love for saving you, you can no longer feel that you owe her, no matter what she begs you to wipe her down, she can't wipe her face and refuse her! ”

The second wife told her daughter a few words before going to Xuhui Hall to report to Mrs. Tai about this matter, Mrs. Tai listened to it and was indispensable, let her decide for herself, she knew this daughter-in-law's ability, put Aunt Hu in her hands, no matter how many tricks the woman has, she was not worried about what would cause any waves.

Cai Wei and Yizhi got this letter, and they had to talk about it. Yizhi sneered: "These concubines and aunts are all scheming and calculating!" How unpopular Aunt Hu was when she entered the house, it was only half a year before she was released from the small courtyard, but she lived in the west wing of the inner courtyard of the second room, and I don't know what the second aunt thought? ”

"I'm afraid that I saved the third sister for the sake of the fourth sister, but I can't get in the way, the second aunt dared to take her to live, and I wanted to be successful, even my grandmother was not a fool. Didn't my sister hear that the fourth brother saw that his mother and sister were living in the courtyard of the second room, so she also made a fuss with her grandmother and said that she wanted to move in and live in the same yard with the third brother, didn't her grandmother agree? ”

Yizhi still frowned and said: "Having said that, I also know that with my grandmother pressing, they can't do anything, but every time I see them come out every once in a while, I really feel upset." In the past few months, my grandmother has punished the Liu family for coming to us every day to clean the courtyard, and this is how many people have been born. Seeing that the three-month penalty period is about to expire, I don't know what will happen when she is idle? ”

Cai Wei smiled and fed her a loquat and said: "She has been severely punished by her grandmother, she has to be honest for a while, but she wants to make trouble again, let's see the move when the time comes, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, with me as your dog-headed military advisor, what are we afraid of her?" ”

Yixi's words were arrogant, and Yizhi couldn't help but laugh.

In the next two months, as Cai Wei said, Aunt Liu was so scared that she was punished by Mrs. Tai, but she honestly stayed in the inner courtyard of the main house and didn't make any tricks. Soon it was the New Year, because An Yuanbo Mansion was observing filial piety, this year's New Year Festival should be simple, only on Chinese New Year's Eve opened the ancestral hall, the men worshipped their ancestors, and prepared a vegetarian banquet on the first day of the new year.

It is also a loss that there are few things, so that the fourth wife can cope with it, and she doesn't feel how hard it is, and Mrs. Tai ordered Yizhi to help her take care of some housework from the side, and she smoothly gave Zhang Luo the major events of this New Year's Festival.

Everyone in Beijing knows that Anyuan Bofu will keep filial piety this year, so from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, except for the relatives of the He clan to walk around to pay New Year's greetings, there are no other foreign guests to bother. After the New Year, Mrs. Tai still ordered Yizhi to help the fourth wife, and asked Yizhi to tell her one by one in the evening every day.

Then Aunt Liu is really a person who can reform herself and keep her own way, so it is easy to endure it for a few months, thinking about how to meddle in the housekeeper's affairs, seeing that Mrs. Tai is so tightly guarded, she can't. Then he asked the fourth master to tell Mrs. Tai that Yifei would also follow Yizhi to learn some skills in managing the family, but Mrs. Tai said that Sister Fei was still a few years younger. was so angry that Aunt Liu complained to the fourth master again, and finally asked the fourth master to replace a few of the purchases in the outer courtyard with people from her side.

Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it is the April day of red and willow green, and Mrs. Tai's birthday is in April, because last year she was met by her eldest son, the third Uncle An Yuan, passed away, where is she still in the mood to celebrate her birthday, but only ate a bowl of longevity noodles. Therefore, this year, Mrs. 5 and Mrs. 4 wanted to set up a few tables of vegetarian banquets for her old man and celebrate her birthday at home.

I don't want Mrs. Tai to find out, she only said that she wants to keep her son's filial piety for three years, and it is not a whole life, so she doesn't have to set up a banquet again, and she still cooks a bowl of longevity noodles to eat like last year.

Although Mrs. Tai said this, the daughters-in-law felt that it was too simple, and was about to persuade again, when Zheng Pingjia, the wife of the chief steward of the house, came in and replied that a distinguished guest handed over a post saying that he would come to the door in person on the next day to celebrate Mrs. Tai's birthday.

Find out who this guest is, and listen to the next breakdown!
