Volume 1 Chapter 41 South Orange and North Mandarin

Sure enough, the old man was a little tired of being fresh a few times. If Aunt Cui is virtuous and gentle and dignified in her bones, it would be fine, but she was pretended to be hard-bodied, and there was always a feeling that she could not become an anti-dog. And Aunt Cui plays with flowers and plants every day, holding back her gossip full of stomachs, and her heart is as uncomfortable as scratching her heart with a hundred claws. Within ten days, she began to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard and eat melon seeds, chatting with the girl and mother-in-law to relieve her boredom. However, the gorgeous clothes and exaggerated makeup are gone, but the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change.

Seeing this, Feng Shi sneered in his heart, only when she was changing her method to seduce the master and failed. The eldest lord has three aunts, two girls in the room, and six children combined. Ancient clouds, people to sixty ancient rare. According to this algorithm, the eldest master can be regarded as a person who has been half buried in the loess. He has long been less enthusiastic about the affairs of men and women than he was when he was younger, especially in the face of the familiar and aging faces of the inner courtyard. And the eldest lord is an official in the court, and he values his reputation the most. At this age, there is no longer the idea of taking concubines, lest people say that he is greedy for beauty and the old cow eats tender grass.

The temper and character of the three aunts are well known to the Feng family, and they have long been in their hands. Don't look at Aunt Cui's occasional jumping, even if she is Sun Wukong, she can't escape the palm of Feng's big Buddha. Feng wished that she had nothing to do, so that the old lady could see clearly and completely dislike her.

The old lady saw Aunt Cui behaving like this, and she also talked to Mama Lu in private.

Originally, she was by my side, although she didn't have many eyes, but she didn't see the lack of roots. Innocent, simple, and clever in speech, there is a bit of likability. I didn't expect to be a different person now, shallow, ignorant, and unlikeable.

Mama Lu listened and hurriedly replied: The slave has heard an allusion, and I don't know if it is suitable for Guizhi. Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei, and the leaves are similar, but the taste is different. So what? The water and soil are also different. Gui Zhi was trained like an onion when he was by the old lady's side, and even the eldest man was moved when he saw it; But for more than ten years by the side of the eldest wife, it has become a vulgar thing like the eyes of a dead fish. The slave didn't speak ill of the old lady in front of her, but just told the truth. People have different mentalities in different environments and ask for different things. Gui Zhi's girl is arrogant, and she will inevitably be suppressed in front of the eldest lady, so it is reasonable to become like this.

Even you can say allusions. The old lady smiled when she heard this, which showed that Mama Lu was right. Gui Zhi used to be the person next to the old lady, she was embarrassed, and the old lady would feel shameless. After Mama Lu's explanation, it shows that the old lady is clever. It's the same conditioning slave, and the result is completely different.

The master and servant were gossiping, the girl lifted the curtain, and the old man came in from outside. Since the old lady came, the eldest man has always set a day in the morning and dusk, unless he comes back late from the yamen or has a party.

I said that you don't need to come over every day, you just have time to talk to me. The old lady felt sorry for her son and was afraid that her son would work hard.

The eldest man took off his coat and asked the girl to dust off his body, then he smiled and said: I want to be by my mother's side all day, but unfortunately there are always some things to deal with. If you don't come to see it sooner or later, it's not solid in your heart. Now the weather is getting colder, and it is no worse here than in the south, and it is very cold in the morning and evening, and my mother has to change to a thicker quilt. In a few days, I'll let the earth dragon be born, but don't catch a cold.

It's only in mid-September, and there's no need for a raw dragon. Although the south side is warm in winter, my body can adapt to it, and I don't feel cold right now. Now I'm in a hurry to give birth to the earth dragon, I'm afraid that I will feel cold when I stay in the house after entering the moon. Wait a minute, I can't bear my words. The capital is located in the north of Dayu, the four seasons are distinct, if it is cold in winter, it is hard and uncomfortable. Before the old lady came, she made new jackets and cotton clothes, and took out the fox fur and wild duck feathers at the bottom of the box and sewed a few pieces of cold coats.

Although it is not yet October, the cold is getting heavier in the morning and evening, but there is a careful reminder from the Feng family, and the girl and mother-in-law take care of it, and the old lady has not felt any discomfort. Every day until about noon, the windows are opened for ventilation, the doors and windows are closed in the morning and evening, the bed is made with a thick mattress, and a thick curtain is put on in front of the bed to block the wind.

The eldest man nodded when he heard his mother say this, the girl Qingtong came up with refreshments, the old lady waved her hand, and all the people in the house quietly retreated.

The son heard his colleagues talking about two things in the government today, one is that the prince and the second prince are fighting in the downtown area, and the emperor is angry but intends to press it, but some officials and ministers in the court advocate severe punishment; Second, it is estimated that the matter of asking for the seal for the aunt should be slow, and it will be accurate to play it when the emperor is in a good mood. The eldest man always likes to tell his mother about the big things that happened in the court.

Don't look at the old lady as a woman, but when she was widowed with three sons and a daughter, she took care of the huge family property of the Jin family, how could it be compared to ordinary ignorant women and children? She deals with all kinds of people, and because the Jin family is an imperial businessman, she has to socialize with the government. At that time, Mrs. Jin died of illness suddenly, and the uncle in the clan bullied their orphans and widows with the intention of swallowing the family wealth, she did not hesitate to tear her face to split the family, and kept most of the family wealth, but she was estranged from other direct and collateral families in the clan. In those years, she really suffered as a woman, if it weren't for some forces in her mother's family, she really wouldn't be able to survive.

The eldest man is the eldest son, and seeing his mother's hardships, he also helped take care of the business early and studied at the same time. Whether it's business or family affairs, their mother and son always have a discussion. After so many years, the old lady has long been silent, but the eldest man feels down-to-earth when he talks to his mother.

The emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires. One is his own son, the other is his nephew, and there is meat inside and out. No matter who is punished, the emperor will not only have a dull face, but also feel distressed. However, if this matter is broken up, it is just the emperor's family matter, and those officials and ministers are full of food and have nothing to do. The old lady's words are not unreasonable, but those old ministers talk about the laws and rules all day long, and they talk about them one by one, and the emperor has no problem. I heard that in the past few days, Princess Pingnan has entered the palace one after another to see the queen, and I don't know what the two sisters-in-law said in private.

The eldest lord nodded and said: Mother is reasonable, but if the prince and the second prince have a fight in the palace, there will be nothing to do if the news is blocked. The two little ancestors were doing it in the downtown area, and how many people watched it, and it was unreasonable not to punish them. I heard that the second prince is still lying in bed to recuperate from his injuries, and the prince has not shown up, so I don't know if he is injured or not, and where he is injured.

Is the injury so strict? The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then said, no matter how the second prince is, he is a body of ten thousand gold, and it is not comparable to the children of ordinary scholars, it seems that Hao Shizi is going to suffer. But their things have nothing to do with us, you only inquire about your aunt's request for sealing. My aunt and our aunt are close relatives, they are better, and we are happy.

The eldest man nodded hurriedly, and said some gossip to his mother.
