"Sister-in-law, as soon as you come, I'll annoy you with these messy things, I'm really sorry." Hu sat below, and Wang sat on the main seat. Wang's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character. She was about forty-seven or eighteen years old, and she was described as thin, but she was in excellent spirits, and at first glance she looked like a very shrewd and capable housewife. She looked at Hu Shi with a deep sense of pity and resentment in her eyes. "It's just a little girl, if you like it, look at her twice, if you don't like it, you can find someone to send out as soon as possible. What's so hard about it? There are a lot of girls like this in my family, if I bother like you, wouldn't I be exhausted? "It's different from Hu's approach. The Wang family is surprisingly open in the matter of her husband's concubine, as long as Master Hu likes it, she will be promoted to an aunt. So much so that when Master Hu came home every day, he was dazzled when he looked at a room full of bright women. The Wang family only grasped one thing, that is, the power of the family will never be left behind. For the rest, she was out of sight. And those concubines, because they were jealous of the wind and jealousy, fell into her hands, and in the end they could only obediently obey her arrangement, one shift every five days, and no one could trespass. On the fifteenth day of the new year, the lord rested and was at his wife's. And the two sons and one daughter she gave birth to were all raised in full accordance with the rules of the concubine, and as for those concubines, it depends on the relationship between their mothers and the Wang family. Those who have a good relationship with the Wang family will get some preferential treatment, and they can accompany the genuine young master to read and write, and follow their sister to learn female worker needlework. If you don't deal with the Wang family, you will be sorry, you will all go to the clan study, and together with the poor children of those clans, you can read as many books as you can, and if you can't read it, it doesn't matter, there are many vacant seats in the shop at home, not bad guys. Under such an iron-fisted rule, the Hu family was subdued and subdued by the Wang family. Those concubines know that they must not offend their wives while pleasing the master. No one dared to challenge his wife's authority. Wang has a famous saying: "Do you believe that I sold you today and bought a more beautiful one for the master, and the master will thank me?" A single sentence can settle many disputes. The degree of care of Master Hu is deeply felt by every woman who has become his woman, so no one dares to challenge the Wang family.

"Sister-in-law, my family is no better than other families, although the master is also distinct, but he is very kind, a total of these children, I don't want to lose anyone. When you go out, aren't you all surnamed Gao? "Hu's voice is not loud." What's the difference? Has he guarded you all his life? It's not the same as a beautiful wife and concubine? Sitting back and enjoying the blessings of all people? Since you have accepted a concubine, you must abide by the rules of the concubine room! Don't think I don't know what I'm used to! According to me, there is no need for Xiuting to leave. No matter how bad she is, isn't it for you at all? The girl who crawled out of the belly of a concubine dared to turn her face with her mother-in-law, thanks to you for treating her like that for so many years! There is no such truth in this world! The more Wang spoke, the more angry he became, and Hu listened to the bitterness in his heart, so he just bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing that Hu's expression was embarrassed, Wang also hurriedly accepted it, sighed, and said: "Actually, I don't know you, you are just too kind-hearted, and you have always been strong, and you are unwilling to let people find fault with you, so you can make it so difficult." It's just like this now, since that little girl doesn't remember your love, why should you be soft. That Liu's is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is better to take this opportunity to send her down, so as not to always add to your blockage! Seeing the unbearable look on Hu's face, he said, "I know that you are reluctant, and it is not too much." Didn't that little girl already choose someone? Although it will take three years to get married, the wedding dress and makeup should be able to make her prepare, right? Isn't she physically weak, so with these three years of hard work, she can prepare slowly. As for the Liu family, her identity is a concubine, so naturally everything must be according to the rules of the concubine. The previous food and clothing were counted, but now it can only be one level higher than the big girl in the house, and that is the real rule. I believe that your master should have no opinion on this one. Since Xiuting has done something wrong, she really can't be kept in this house. The worst thing at the moment is not that your master knows what she did, but who let him know what she did. So without further ado, you go and explain the situation to your lord now. If Xiuting is dealt with by the family law, it is also her own fault! "Wang is a bystander, and in a few words, the problems that have been plaguing Hu have been solved. After listening to this, Hu Shi also felt that there was no better way to deal with it.

After hearing that Hu had told Mother Yang what he had done, Master Gao did not get angry as Hu expected, but remained silent. There have been too many things happening in the family recently, but in the final analysis, they can all be combined into four words, the dispute between wives and concubines. From the competition for favor between wives and concubines to the conflict of interests between wives and concubines. No matter how different they are, this battle has never stopped. Hu can be tolerant and generous, but the people around her, such as Yang's mother, will fight for the interests of her master. The Liu family has never been convinced of their identity and status, and has always been fighting. The two women's fights are also mixed with their own children. Shen Fang can be said to be the most innocent victim in this battle. Master Gao stroked a book on the corner of the table, which contained a letter written by the young girl to herself. The letter was full of tears and blood. It is full of the struggle and pain of a helpless little girl between her mother-in-law and her biological mother. Shen Fang said that she didn't know who to trust, and she didn't know who was sincere to her mother. told his father what Yang's mother did, just hoping that his father could make decisions for himself and protect himself from harm. After the initial shock and anger, Master Gao quickly calmed down. He has heard about Hu's locking up Yang's mother, after all, they have been husband and wife for many years, and Master Gao thinks from the bottom of his heart that Hu's will never let Yang's mother do these things, because her dedication to Shenfang is definitely not false and perfunctory. And Shen Fang is not without any feelings for the Hu family. So, he's been waiting, waiting to see what happens. Now that Hu took the initiative to confess to him, he was relieved in his heart, and felt that his wife really deserved to be from a famous family, and she was indeed above board. On the other hand, Aunt Liu's style made him feel very difficult to compliment.

Liu had already cried in front of him early in the morning, counting all kinds of injustices that Hu had done to her, and even grabbed Shen Fang's affairs, and insisted that Hu abused Shen Fang with sinister intentions. If Master Gao heard this before Hu Shi fell ill, he would definitely be angry immediately and call Hu Shi to confront him. It's just that after Hu fell ill, his perception of Liu changed a lot. He was not easily angered. In his concept, concubines can be spoiled, but they can't be indulged. Since the Liu family entered the door, relying on his youth and beauty, he has been favored too much. Her Jinxin Courtyard was specially built for her by him, taking the meaning of Jinxin embroidery. When the Qinglou intersected, he admired her talent and the elegance that came out of the mud. In his heart, the Hu family is too cold and arrogant, but the Liu family can treat each other with a confidant. It's just that the years have passed, and although Liu's beauty has not faded much with the years, the original atmosphere of being out of the world is no longer seen. The courtyard is the most exquisite in the house, and the food and clothing are only slightly lower than those of the Hu family. Because of his frequent visits, sometimes the things he uses are even brighter than those in Hu's room. The two daughters born, Shen Rong and Shen Fang were both raised like Jinyu, and Shen Rong was favored by herself for many years. Although Shen Fang is weak, Hu Shi is full of care between clothes and medicines. What else could she not be satisfied with? Compared with the Hu family, what she lacks is just a name! No man is content. Seeing that Liu's crying was like pear blossoms with rain, and the little tears on the exquisite makeup as always, Master Gao didn't have the idea of pity for the first time. just said in a deep voice: "I know everything, you go back!" And he paid no more attention to her. Aunt Liu was taken aback, and she had the heart to be coquettish and tired twice as usual, but seeing that Master Gao looked solemn, she didn't dare to make a mistake. So he retreated and went back to Jinxin Courtyard.
