Chapter 157: Hypocrisy
Before the Chinese New Year, Ji Anning felt that the days were long, and during the New Year, she felt that the time was too short. Old lady Ji returned home a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the Ji family reinstated the rule of asking for instructions in the morning and evening. Every day, at dawn, everyone has to line up to go to the backyard to greet Mrs. Ji, and then turn to Mrs. Ji to say goodbye.
Old lady Ji's shelf has always been high, usually he doesn't see his children and grandchildren directly, he only picks a few people to come in every morning to see him, and other people are sent away by the way. Ji Baohua is the daughter of Mrs. Ji's heart, she served by Mrs. Ji's side, and the reputation of a filial daughter, through Mrs. Ji's mouth, quickly spread out of the courtyard door of the Ji family.
Brother Ji Shouye let the old lady Ji do it, Ning felt a little unhappy in his heart, and went to talk to Bu Shi about his heart, but Bu Shi comforted her and said: "A concubine, the old father has worked hard, she can bear it." After Ning sighed softly, she turned around and asked Bu Shi if she knew that Ji Shoucheng was going to resign from his official position.
Bu Shi looked at Ning's expression, she nodded lightly, and said, "That night, your eldest brother told me about the matter, I think such a big matter should be decided by the two of you and your husband together. Later, I didn't listen to your eldest brother talk about it again, and I didn't seem to have made any big decisions when I saw the second brother, so I didn't talk to you. ”
Ning Shi looked at Bu Shi, she smiled bitterly and said: "Second Master, he told me about his decision, I think he is really unwilling to do it, and I can't force him to act as a woman." He said that to me a few years ago, and at the time, I didn't take it to heart. He said that he would resign after the year. Together with the next family, he has already found it. ”
Bu Shi looked at Ning's tangled expression, and thought about it: "If he insists on that, are you difficult to be a person in your maiden sister?" Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Over the years, he and I have only been bright on our faces, and now that we have torn off that veil, I have nothing bad to be in front of my sisters."
Anyway, live your life. I've never begged them for a hand. The second master told me. The livelihood aspect doesn't worry me, I thought about it, and that's fine. Life can go on. Sister-in-law, in front of others, there are some things that are not easy to tell the truth. In front of you, there are some things that cannot be hidden from you. My sisters' days. They're not much better than me. It's just that everyone lives under a veil. ”
Bruce sighed softly and caressed her, saying, "When the children get older, our days will be better." Ning looked at Bu's expression, and she whispered, "Sister-in-law." Don't you know what the old lady is doing outside? Bush glared at her and said, "I heard from your eldest brother that he said something outside. In addition to that, he's so old. What else can happen? ”
"Huh" Ning sneered and said: "Sister-in-law, I have now gained a lot of knowledge from the old lady, he owes debts outside, and I find Yue'er and Zhen'er to help him pay off his debts." Bu Shi glared at Ning and whispered, "How can this be done, is that a married granddaughter?" ”
Ning said angrily: "Naturally, I didn't go straight to find Yue'er and Zhen'er to ask for silver to pay off debts, but in the name of filial piety, I asked Yue'er and Zhen'er to give money." My two daughters were stupid, and after giving the money, they went to their father and whispered about it. The second master may ignore the old lady's old face and help settle it down afterwards. ”
"It's too much, how do Yue'er and Zhen'er behave in their husband's family, and their mother's ancestors act so absurdly." Bushi clenched his hands angrily, Ning looked at her expression, and whispered: "In Shuzhou City, who doesn't know how the old lady behaves." When I married my daughter before, I thought about these things, and I didn't hide the style of my in-laws, the old lady of our family. ”
Bu Shi looked at Ning Shi and said with a wry smile: "In previous years, during the Chinese New Year, it was necessary to invite the old lady to return home three or four times, and he had to promise him many conditions. This time, the old lady came back as soon as I was invited, and I became suspicious. Later, I thought that I had too much heart, maybe the old man was old and thought about his family, so he agreed so smoothly. ”
Bushi has no countermeasures against such a father-in-law. Ning Shi looked at her and whispered: "Sister-in-law, there are some things that are not easy to do in the position of the eldest brother, since the second master of our family has no intention of officialdom, there are some family affairs, it is better to leave them to him to deal with." Besides, he is a father, and he will never watch his two daughters being dragged by the old lady and being looked down upon in her husband's family. ”
Since Ning heard Bu Shi mention it, she only knew that Ji Shoucheng had mentioned it, and she didn't know if he would make a decision, she was relieved of her sister-in-law, at least Ji Shoucheng still saved face for her in front of her brother and sister-in-law. She turned to laugh and said to Bu Shi: "I was still a little unhappy with the second master's decision before, but now I think about the three brothers in the family, I think only the second master's temperament is the most suitable for dealing with a father like the old lady." ”
Seeing her happy, she laughed and said, "You husband and wife will discuss and decide such a big matter." The second brother has always been more tactful than his brother, your eldest brother has a good temperament, and the third brother has a temperament that is originally suitable for being an official, but unfortunately in terms of women's problems, he is too easy to be emotional. ”
Ning stretched out three fingers to compare with each other, and asked Bushi: "After the third child's outside affairs were spread by the old lady, how did they get along well with their husband and wife?" Bushi looked at her with a smile and said: "The third brother and sister are not a noisy person, and the third brother is not a person who completely ignores his family, not to mention the matter outside, he only started, and did not implement it, how big can there be between the two." ”
Ning Shi listened to her words, and after she was quiet for a while, she suddenly laughed and said, "I sometimes have a free time, and I think that if I had the same temperament as my third brother and sister, my second master and I might not have come to this point." However, I would think that if the second master, like the third brother, put people outside, so that I could not see out of mind and not be annoyed, our husband and wife would not have come to this point. ”
This kind of thing between husband and wife, no matter how you persuade it, is a little difficult. Bushi could only reach out and gently pat her, saying, "You are husband and wife, no matter what, he is the one who will accompany you to old age." You're not very old, and you and he can get along as well as you can. Ning Shi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled with Bushi, and said, "Sister-in-law, I am getting older, and now my mind has eased up."
I don't want to be like my mother-in-law, when I get old, I go to strange places with the people around me. If he and I can ease down, I also think that when I am old, there will still be people to talk to me. Besides, I figured it out. Our second master is not as completely ruthless as the old lady, he still cares about me and the children in his heart, but he can't stand the false seduction of the goblins. (To be continued.) )
