Chapter 90
When the eldest girl heard that Chen mentioned that the Wu family came to add makeup, she didn't react. Instead, he smiled and invited the second sister and the third sister to go to Ning Guofu for a visit another day.
"Now that I've just taken over the housekeeping, I'm still a bit busy. After waiting for a few days, my mother took the second sister, the third sister and Bao Ge'er to the house. ”
When Chen heard this, he no longer mentioned the matter of the Wu family, and agreed with a smile: "That's fine." Tell us to take the light of the eldest girl and go to the Houmen Mansion to see the world. ”
Since the topic has been talked about Ningguo Mansion, the Chen family had to ask the eldest girl about the temperament of the people in the two mansions, so he persuaded again: "Their Zhongming Ding Food House is naturally prominent. Besides, the Jiamen family has a prosperous side branch, and this population is large, so the relationship is naturally more complicated than that of a family like ours. What's more, their rules are big, you are a new daughter-in-law who has just arrived, and there are some who can't figure out the rules for a while. Don't be in a hurry, just take your time. Don't be in a hurry to bring out your wife's money when you are a steward. lest he fail to stand up for power, but be held by those cunning slaves. Anyway, people like that have rules, and if you don't understand it, just follow the old rules. Ask your elders more about everything, you can't go wrong. ”
When the eldest girl heard this, she nodded her head one by one.
Chen Shi also advised: "You have just married into Ningguo Mansion, the most important thing is to find out your uncle's temperament and character, only if you get his love and respect, can you gain a foothold in that mansion." As for what your grandmother said...... It's not that you don't have to take it to heart, it's just that there must always be a priority in everything. No husband's family wants to see a new daughter-in-law who is looking at her mother's house. Do you remember what I said? ”
Chen's words and every word knocked on the eldest girl's heart, how could the eldest girl not remember. Immediately, his face was driven and he nodded again and again. Chen Shiyin asked again about the aunts and concubines of Ning Guofu, who could get along well.
When the eldest girl heard this, she hesitated for a moment before she said, "...... Those aunts and concubines think they are used to being frivolous. I was so busy returning home these two days that I didn't have time to take care of them. I'll just wait for two days when I'll be free. ”
When Chen heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes touched the second sister and the third sister on the side, but he stopped talking, because he smiled: "You two go to the room first to take a look at the old lady's movements." I'll talk back later. ”
When the second sister and the third sister heard this, they knew that the Chen family wanted to talk to the eldest girl in private, but it was not easy for them to hear. He smiled and nodded, and got up to say goodbye.
Here, when Chen saw that the two sisters had gone, he took the eldest girl's hand and smiled: "What you say is reasonable." Those concubines and the like are just cats and dogs for the pleasure of the grandfathers. is the one who gave birth to a brother and sister for the grandfathers, and it is only half a slave. Besides, they're all hens that don't lay eggs. Don't pay attention to them. The top priority is to take advantage of the intimacy of your little couple, so that you can maintain it, as long as you are pregnant with your brother, what are you afraid of those light and wild hooves in the future? ”
When the eldest girl heard this, her face turned red, and she immediately lowered her head in shame. When Chen saw this, he smiled secretly in his heart, and immediately beckoned the eldest girl to lean over, and taught some "imperial husband techniques" by ear. The eldest girl's face turned redder and brighter when she heard this, and finally she held her face and threw herself into Chen's arms and refused to come out again.
Let's not talk about how Chen and the eldest girl passed on their experience. It was only said that the second sister and the third sister went out of the main house, and walked slowly under the verandah. Seeing that the autumn was high and cool, and there were only chrysanthemums blooming in the garden, the second sister walked into the garden quite depressed, picked a golden chrysanthemum at random, and pinched the petals in her hand to relieve boredom.
Seeing this, the third sister groaned in her heart, and then smiled: "Second sister, what's wrong?" How can you do this spicy thing to destroy flowers? ”
The second sister listened to the third sister's jokes, but she didn't have the heart to laugh with her. casually discarded the half-crippled chrysanthemum, the second sister wrung the handkerchief and muttered for a long time, before asking: "Third sister, you said that Brother Zhang Hua has read books for so many years, can he be in Jinbang High School?" ”
The third sister thought about it, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Hua has always been diligent, not to mention that he has been studying since he entered the family, and he is also taught by famous teachers and Confucians." Shouldn't there be any problem? I've heard that Cousin Hua has played well this year, and he is seven points sure that he can go to high school. Brother Zhang Hua studied with Cousin Huan, and he couldn't be worse if he thought about it. ”
The third sister's words were originally to comfort the second sister. Unexpectedly, when the second sister heard this, she became more and more depressed. Holding the third sister's hand, she sighed for a long time, and said in her mouth: "What my sister said also makes sense. But even if Brother Zhang Hua is fortunate enough to be named on the gold list in the future, what can it do? I follow the rules, even if I am the champion, I just have a seven-grade Hanlin. What's more, with Brother Zhang Hua's talent, it is very reluctant to want the title of the gold list, and I don't dare to think about this kind of top score. In other words, even if Brother Zhang Hua is in high school, he is just a small sesame official with eight grades. The www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion is so low. How many years do you have to waste to climb to the position of the third rank master? What's more, with the Zhang family's family background, he can't do anything for Brother Zhang Hua. If I go to some poor and remote place in the imperial examination high school in the future, I will not be subject to him in the middle of nowhere. I don't know how sooner or later I will be able to return to Beijing...... When I think about it now, I feel a headache. ”
Third Sister You looked at the second sister's serious and troubled appearance, and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid that my sister is worried." Even if the Zhang family has no background power, there is still an uncle. Uncle loves his sister so much, if Brother Zhang Hua enters the imperial examination in the future, his uncle will definitely support him wholeheartedly. ”
When the second sister heard this, she pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "What my sister said is very true. If his uncle is willing to help, Brother Zhang Hua's future will be better. ”
Before a word fell, I couldn't help but think of the words of the two cousins in the third room of the You family on the day when the eldest girl was wearing makeup. Unconsciously dimmed a pretty face, and said disapprerovitically: "But as a man, if you always rely on the power of your wife's family to get promoted and make a fortune, it is not interesting." ”
When Third Sister You heard the second sister speak like this, she knew that she must have seen the marriage of the eldest girl, and she had the intention of comparing herself. But it's a common thing. Not to mention a little girl of this age, as long as you are alive, who doesn't have the strength to compare yourself with others consciously or unconsciously? It's just that some people are compared to wealth and power, some people are compared to family background, and some people are compared to talent and cultivation......
Seeing that the second sister was so distressed at this moment, Third Sister You pondered for a moment before she said: "Second sister still remembers, the sentence that my mother used to muttered on her lips was that life is in the world, and it is unsatisfactory eight or nine times out of ten. It can be seen that it is always difficult to have both worlds. The second sister looked at Ning Guofu at this time, but she didn't know that the Jia family had a big business and many rights and wrongs. Besides, Na Jia Zhen is a bastard who has nothing to do, and she is used to indulging the concubines in the mansion to mess around. The second sister has a gentle temperament and never wants to argue with others. Now that he is married to Ning Guofu, I am afraid that there will be many days in the future. What's more, because the difference between our two families is too great, I'm afraid that even if the big sister is wronged in the future, the master will not dare to stand up for the big sister. That's why the ancients said that the door is right, and Qi Da is not even, which is what it means. ”
When the second sister heard this, she was stunned, and immediately thought about it carefully.
Third Sister You took advantage of the situation and said many benefits of the Zhang family - not to mention anything else for the time being, just say that Zhang Hua and Second Sister You have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the elders of the Zhang family also treat the second sister like their own girls. Now the Chen family has the grace of saving lives and carrying the Zhang family, so the Zhang family is grateful to Dade, and they only have a better and more considerate and pleasant attitude to the second sister, and they are not willing to be wronged at all. What's more, the Chen family has always been short guard, and they have the ability and spare strength to take care of the second sister and not be bullied by her husband's family. The most important thing -
“…… The children of the great family have a greedy temperament. Today is facing east, tomorrow is facing west, even if you marry a fairy at home, it will only be three days and five days and you will be tired and thrown behind. It's the eldest sister, that's still a newlywed couple, listen to her tone today, I'm afraid that I'm still angry with those concubines and aunts in Ningguo Mansion. The second sister grew up in the palm of her hand by her mother and uncle, and she saw how wanton her aunt was because of her uncle's exclusive favor. And how much suffering did my mother suffer because of her concubine? In all fairness, is the second sister willing to be an aunt for a lifetime and live a smooth and wanton life, or is she willing to be so empty and lively, to suffer that anger? ”
Second Sister You was silent when she heard this. Third Sister You made persistent efforts and continued: "I don't know what my sister thinks. But if it were for me, I would rather choose someone whose family background is not prominent, as long as he is capable, as long as the two of us are in love, what if he is self-made? Let's just say uncle, in the early years, he was just an eight-grade sword and pen officer, and now he is not also a fourth-grade member of the imperial court? Holding great power in his hands, he is deeply respected by saints and princes, what kind of scenery is that? But because of the husband and wife with his aunt and uncle, he has a deep sensibility, and he is only willing to guard his aunt alone. Now those ladies outside - that is, the ladies of the Gongmen Mansion, who doesn't envy the good fortune of our aunt? It can be seen that when a daughter marries, it doesn't matter what family background the other party has. Look at character and knowledge. As long as you have a good future, you can also shine in the cold door and the power of the lintel is tilted towards the opposition, if you have no interest, even if you are a eunuch, you can give birth to unscrupulous descendants...... Where can you lightly set a lifetime for the sake of the wealth in front of you? ”
Second Sister You listened to Third Sister You'er's long words, and the original tangled heart was immediately solved. Seeing Third Sister You talking so eloquently, she couldn't help laughing, and reached out to poke the third sister's forehead in the same way as Chen, and said with a smile in her mouth: "No wonder my mother always says that you are a big ghost, and sure enough, you have the most words." ”
Before a word fell, I saw that Chen sent Chunlan out to look for someone and said: "It turns out that the second girl and the third girl are hiding here and talking, but the slaves and maids are easy to find." The lady said that it was time for lunch, and asked the girls to go directly to the room and accompany the old lady to lunch! ”
The second sister and the third sister heard this, and hurriedly got up and agreed. Third Sister You asked Chunlan, "Mom and eldest sister have passed?" ”
Chunlan replied: "Mrs. and the eldest girl waited for the second girl and the third girl for a while and didn't see each other. I had to go first. And asked the slaves and maids to find the two girls, and led the girls directly to the upper room. ”
Second Sister You and Third Sister You nodded. Slightly straightened up their clothes and walked away hand in hand.
When I arrived at the upper room, I saw that You Ziyu was already sitting in the hall with Jia Zhen, talking with Mrs. You.
Mrs. You's old face is already smiling like a chrysanthemum, and she will let tea and fruit for a while. Be courteous.
Although Jia Zhen behaves appropriately everywhere, it is difficult to hide the arrogance of the children of the family. Seeing the second sister and the third sister walking in hand in hand. Jia Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement, and she first glanced at the second sister, and then smiled at the third sister You and said, "This is the third sister." The former child urged makeup to welcome her family, and my sister was so embarrassed that I was embarrassed! ”
