The three-room wife of the Liu family? That Montess? A few days after she arrived at Jing'an Temple, this Meng also came? Is this a coincidence or an arrangement by Mrs. Xie?

Xie An also thought about it in his heart, but asked on his lips: "The third wife of the Liu family?" ”

Mother Wang glanced at her, was silent for a while, and said: "The girl doesn't know, the third wife of the Liu family is surnamed Meng, and she is the concubine of the Meng family in the capital, ranking fifth. Ten years ago, I married into the Liu family, ten miles of red makeup, it was not beautiful, and it was also a good story back then. In the second year after marriage, he gave birth to a brother and took charge of the affairs of the Liu family. Now I have three brothers and five sisters under my knees. ”

Since Aimo mentioned the Liu family that day, Xie An has also inquired. This third master of the Liu family is a son-in-law, and he is also the most important one for the old lady Liu, but he didn't expect to marry a concubine, and he didn't take a concubine after marriage, and the one son and three daughters born in the house were all raised under the name of the Meng family, which shows the high means of the Meng family.

"To say that this Liu family is also a big family, the family is not bad. Then why can Meng marry his concubine as a concubine? It's not for the Meng family! In this life, a woman is nothing more than to marry a good husband, take care of the back house for him, spread the branches, and have a few more brothers, are you still afraid that her husband's family will look down on her? But if you don't have a family backer, even if you are lucky enough to marry a good husband, you won't be able to gain a foothold in your husband's family......"

Xie An also knew that this was Mrs. Xie reminding her through the mouth of Mother Wang, so she didn't refute and listened silently.

At this moment, a little maid with a double bun ran over and said to Xie An, "May I ask if the girl is the seventh lady of the Xie family?" ”

"Exactly." Mother Wang nodded, and asked again, "Are you?" ”

"My wife is the head of the Liu family's third room." The little maid said to Xie An again, "The slave maid was ordered by the wife to invite you over to drink tea." ”

Xie An also saw the little maid's proud expression when she mentioned Meng's face, and couldn't help but feel funny. But when I thought of Meng Shi asking her to drink tea, I didn't like it. She didn't want to have anything to do with that Meng clan at all, but the little maid's tone was as if she had been cultivating tea with Meng for eight lifetimes.

Xie An was still hesitating, but Mother Wang glanced at her, and she had to hold the shelf and say, "I know, you lead the way." ”

They followed the maid for a long time, Xie An only felt that she was going around in a similar garden, and just when she couldn't help but be about to explode, the little girl stopped, turned her head and said to her, "Miss Xie Qi, it's here." My wife is in the pavilion in front. ”

Xie An also looked up, and sure enough, there was a pavilion not far away, the woman she saw before was sitting in the middle of the pavilion, a little maid next to her was fanning her, one was hanging her shoulders, and the remaining few were standing by the pavilion with the two mothers-in-law, looking at their noses and noses, waiting for the call.

Xie An also walked in with Wang's mother and blessed the woman: "The little woman has seen Madame." ”

The woman waved her hand, let the two little maids retreat, stood up and walked to Xie Anyi's side, took her hand familiarly, pulled her to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion, and her smiling face looked rounder: "Seventh sister, don't be polite, if you want to say, we will also take a kiss." My maiden name is Meng, and I am from Beijing. ”

Xie An also pretended to smile shyly on his face, but secretly wondered in his heart whether this woman was really ignorant of human accidents, or did it on purpose, the two families had not yet passed the ceremony, and they mentioned this to the girl when they first met. If she was really a lady in ancient times, she would definitely want to find a crack in the ground now.

The third wife of the Liu family was still talking to herself, Xie An also looked at her with a smile, but her thoughts didn't know where to go, until she heard Mother Wang remind her softly: "Girl, girl, Mrs. Liu asked you." ”

"Huh?" Xie An also came to his senses, "The little girl likes to stay in the room on weekdays to practice female celebrity and study the four books of women, but poetry and poetry are rarely involved. When my mother was alive, she often said that women are literate, and those who can understand righteousness are certainly virtuous, but they are rare. "Actually, this is half-true, practicing female celebrity is fake, she can embroider a cross-stitch at most, but I don't think the third wife of the Liu family will let her embroider a section on the spot. Learning the fourth book of women is also something she has only recently started doing, and she has memorized 300 Tang poems with poetry and songs, because she was afraid that Mrs. Liu San would let her compose poems on the spot, so she said this paragraph for the mother of the main master.

Mrs. Liu San made a look of deep approval, and said with a smile: "However, a man is virtuous, and a woman is virtuous." The seventh sister really spoke to my heart. ”

After speaking, as if the love expressed was not enough, he hurriedly took off a gold bracelet from his arm, and put it on her before Xie An could excuse himself and take her hand.

Xie An was also embarrassed to stare at the bracelet, only felt that his arm was heavy, and thought that if this was pure gold, it would definitely be worth a lot, so he didn't shirk it too much, and thanked him and accepted it.

Mrs. Liu San saw that Xie An was also generous, although she accepted the bracelet, she didn't show a happy expression, she was secretly satisfied in her heart, and said a bunch of words that she didn't like to dance and write, and then changed her words: "My nephew must have heard of the seventh sister, both civil and military, and the prince's companion, saying that the matchmaker is about to break through the threshold." Now my cousin intends to marry the Xie family, I can't say this, but I am happy when I see you today, and you will call me aunt in the future. ”

Xie An also rolled his eyes in his heart, you have said a lot of things that are not easy to say, but for the sake of the gold bracelet, I should not have heard of it.

She didn't think she had heard of it, but others didn't think so. I only heard Mrs. Liu San say again: "Seventh sister is gentle, I heard that Mrs. Xie San is like her own child on your behalf, this is a blessing." But there are too many twists and turns in this inner house, and no one will guide you, and it will be difficult for you to move forward in your husband's house in the future. But don't worry, with me, no one dares to bully you. ”

Mrs. Liu San swore by what she said, and those who didn't know would definitely think that Xie An was also going to marry her son instead of the Meng family. People say that the married daughter spills out the water, and Mrs. Liu San is just a married aunt and grandmother in the Meng family, and saying this kind of thing can't help but make people feel overwhelmed.

"Ugh." Mrs. Liu San sighed again.

Xie An also had to laugh: "What's wrong with Madam?" ”

"The seventh sister is good-looking and has an excellent temperament, and she is really a natural pair with my nephew. Just ......"

"Just what?" Xie An had to pretend to be curious.

"It's just that you know that all those who are good at learning love to recite poetry on weekdays, are vassally elegant, and like talented women, and my nephew is no exception. Men will be greedy for beauty, and this is a few days after getting married, but after a few days, you can live a few days...... I still want someone to polish his ink when he writes, and someone to appreciate it when he paints. After Mrs. Liu San finished speaking, she stared at Xie An with pity.

Xie An also seemed to know what her purpose was this time, but she was not sure, so she had to pretend to be anxious and asked, "Third wife, how is this good?" ”

Mrs. Liu San seemed to have expected her to ask such a question, so she patted her hand comfortingly and said, "Is there a maid who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting by the side of the seventh sister?" ”

Xie An also shook his head.

Mrs. Liu San thought for a while and said: "My second uncle has a concubine, and her appearance is different from that of the seventh sister. The seventh sister might as well walk around with her more if she has time. ”

What does that mean? Is it to let this Liu family's daughter teach her poetry and songs? Or does Mrs. Liu San want to marry her husband in the future and take this Liu family concubine as a concubine?
