Chapter 500: Concubine
By the time Fan coaxed Brother Yun in, it was already two teas later. As soon as Fan entered the dining room, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Sister Hui and Sister Xian both sat at the dinner table and ate obediently and honestly, and the mother-in-law, who had always been cold, was smiling, and even Gu Xiyu's face looked good.
After marrying into the Dingguo Mansion for many years, this mother-in-law has always been cold to her. Although he didn't treat her badly in terms of food and clothing, he never looked at her much. Including these children, they are not liked by their mother-in-law. It's been a few months since she came back, but her mother-in-law has never taken the initiative to summon her children to Jingxinyuan. She was cheeky and brought her children a few times, but every time her mother-in-law was cold and indifferent. Not to mention putting your child at the dinner table to eat together...
Is this qiē all because of the new Ye family?
Fan glanced at Ye Qinglan, who was smiling, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Although Gu Shengnian is the eldest son, he is not favored at all, and it is even more dim against the backdrop of the radiant Gu Xinian. Even with her eldest granddaughter-in-law has no status in the Dingguo Mansion, and she is not dignified in front of her mother-in-law. This brother-in-law who has just passed the door for a few days has won the favor of her mother-in-law. Comparing the two compartments, she was naturally uncomfortable.
If Ye Qinglan was a noble girl from a famous family, it would be fine, but she was just an unloved concubine in the third room of Changyuan Bofu. When it comes to identity, it's not as good as the daughter of the country's priest wine!
Fan thought dissatisfiedly, but a smile appeared on his face: "Sister Hui'er Xian'er has Brother and Sister Lao to take care of it." ”
Fan's ability to hide her mood is not clever, at least, Ye Qinglan can clearly see the jealousy in her eyes. For such a shallow-minded woman. Ye Qinglan didn't have much intimacy, and said with a faint smile: "Sister-in-law said this too politely. It's just a gesture. Why bother. After a pause, he asked with a smile, "Is Brother Yun better?" ”
Fan glanced at Brother Yun, who was still sobbing and choking in his arms, with pity. said: "He just fell and his wrists were worn out. It's hard to coax to get better. ”
Ye Qinglan followed Fan's gaze and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see where Brother Yun'er's wrist was broken. Fan Shi hugged Brother Yun and came over, and pointed out the little mark that was not much bigger than a grain of rice to Ye Qinglan: "Come and see, it's right here." This nurse was so careless that I was about to go back and change her. ”
……
Ye Qinglan was very kind and didn't say anything.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at it, but couldn't help frowning: "It's inevitable that boys will be naughty, what are you doing with such a fuss." And Brother Yun'er's nurse, if I remember correctly. In the past six months, there have been five or six. Now this nurse has been more than half a month, and she is quite careful. Why do you want to change it again? ”
Fan was choked for a moment, and only said after a while: "The daughter-in-law is not nitpicky, but Brother Yun is still young, and he is afraid that the people around him will not do their best, so the requirements are stricter on weekdays." is also with the intention of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, beating and beating those slack and lazy subordinates..."Speaking of which, it still faintly reveals the meaning of insisting on one's own opinions.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't hear the implication in Fan's words, and she felt a little unhappy. said lightly: "Brother Yun'er's matter, it is inevitable that you, as a mother, will be more attentive." However, the nurse in the house has been almost replaced. If you want to change again, you might as well ask someone to go out of the house and find a desirable one. ”
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but interject: "Brother Yun is three years old. Do you still use a nurse? "It's long overdue to wean!
Fan said as a matter of course: "I said I was three years old, but in fact I was only two years old." At least another year before we can wean! ”
…… Chatting with Fan was a challenge!
Ye Qinglan simply remained silent. Fan sat down beside her and talked about the pain of raising children: "Brother and sister. You're too young to know the pain of raising a child. I was busy taking care of these three children all day. I don't even have the time to calm down and drink tea. Sister Hui is older and more worry-free, but Sister Xian is weak and often sick. And Brother Yun, I haven't been worried about it since the day I was born......"
It seems to be complaining, but if you listen carefully, the words are clear and full of showing off.
Having children is probably the most important "indicator" to measure daughters-in-law. After the Fan family married into the Dingguo Mansion, they gave birth one after another, and gave birth to three. Fan was obviously proud, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were revealed.
Ye Qinglan was very self-contained, and smiled quietly: "My sister-in-law gave birth to three children, and she has really worked hard. ”
When Fan Shi heard this, his eyebrows immediately relaxed, and he pretended not to care and smiled: "Since we are married and married, it is our responsibility as daughters-in-law to have children and continue the incense. Where to talk about hard work. When he said this, he glanced at Mrs. Zheng intentionally or unintentionally.
With such an obvious invitation, Mrs. Zheng couldn't ignore it, so she had to smile lightly: "You do have merit in parenting, so you don't have to be humble and shirk." ”
Fan's heart was full of joy, and he deliberately squeezed out a humble smile on his face: "Mother-in-law praises her like this, but her daughter-in-law really doesn't dare to be it." After a pause, he smiled and said, "My brother and sister have just passed the door, and I think there will be good news soon." ”
Ye Qinglan didn't have much of the shyness of a bride, pursed her lips and smiled, and responded generously: "Sister-in-law Jiyan, I am also looking forward to getting pregnant as soon as possible and continuing the incense for my husband!" These beautiful scenes were addressed to Mrs. Zheng. In fact, she was very unimpressed.
She is mature enough in her heart, but this body is not really fully developed. Talking about having children is simply destroying young girls. At least I have to wait another two or three years, and it's almost the same to get pregnant when I'm about eighteen years old.
However, Fan's words gave her a wake-up call. With the frequency of Gu Xinian's intimacy with her, and without any effective contraceptive measures, maybe she will really get pregnant soon. She had to think about it carefully and pick a suitable time to negotiate amicably with Gu Xinian on this issue......
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Mrs. Zheng looking over with expectant eyes.
Ye Qinglan looked at Mrs. Zheng's eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart. Thinking for sure, would she be a little selfish when she thought so much?
At Gu Xinian's age, others have long been spoiled by their wives and concubines. Gu Xinian didn't get married until he was twenty-two years old, and at this time, he was definitely an older young man. Mrs. Zheng's mood of looking forward to holding her grandson is definitely eager and eager......
After breakfast, Mrs. Zheng led her daughter-in-law and daughter to Shunyi Hall.
Zhang Yue in the second room has arrived and is talking with Sun. When Sun faced Ye Qinglan, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, but he was kind and pleasant to Zhang Yue.
As soon as he caught a glimpse of Ye Qinglan's figure, Sun's face reflexively straightened.
……
Ye Qinglan didn't see Sun's stinky face, followed behind Mrs. Zheng with a smile, and asked Sun with Fan: "Granddaughter-in-law Ye (Fan) asks grandmother for peace." ”
Sun let out a sound from his nose, glanced at Ye Qinglan lightly, and said lukewarmly: "Okay, no need to be polite." ”
Ye Qinglan ignored Sun's cold face and stood aside with a smile.
Sun looked at her calmly, but it was not pleasing to the eye: "Ye, why don't you say a word?" Don't you want to deal with me, an old woman? ”
Ye Qinglan blinked, looking innocent: "Grandmother said this, it's really embarrassing for her granddaughter-in-law." The granddaughter-in-law has always wanted to talk to her grandmother, but she is worried that her mouth will be stupid and she will make her grandmother unhappy. ”
…… If she had a stupid mouth, she wouldn't have been able to find a woman with a good mouth.
Sun snorted lightly and said unceremoniously: "Okay, don't play tricks in front of me." Just say whatever you want, I'm not the kind of person who can't tolerate what juniors say! ”
When he said this, his face didn't blush, and his strong skin was admirable!
Ye Qinglan showed a slightly shy smile: "Grandmother said so, granddaughter-in-law can rest assured." Actually, the granddaughter-in-law just wanted to ask her grandmother, I wonder if she can stay in Shunyi Hall at noon and serve her grandmother's meal? ”
Sun's expression stiffened slightly. The scene of lunch that day came to mind again... Immediately refused without thinking: "Still don't use it." At noon, the Zhang family stayed with me, and you still served your mother-in-law! ”
Ye Qinglan asked again very sincerely: "Doesn't grandmother really need to be served by her granddaughter-in-law?" The granddaughter-in-law really wants to serve her grandmother well! ”
Sun pressed the impatience in his heart and responded perfunctorily: "Okay, I just got your mind." However, you really don't need to be served. Zhang's has been in the door longer than you, and I'm used to having her with me. ”
Zhang Yue interjected with a timely smile: "Grandmother loves her granddaughter-in-law so much, but she is really moved and grateful to her granddaughter-in-law!" ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, Sun Shi suddenly changed her expression, and her smile was more kind and kind: "You kid, what do you do with so many courtesies." After marrying into the Dingguo Mansion, it is a family. You don't have to be so rigid about talking on weekdays. ”
Zhang Yue responded respectfully, and said with a smile: "Grandmother is so peaceful and approachable, granddaughter-in-law is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, so I have the honor to call you grandmother." ”
……
Ye Qinglan was finally completely impressed by Zhang Yue. A good family background is a good background, that is the luck of the family, to be able to put down the shelf of the famous lady and carefully coax the Sun family, this is the real housekeeping ability of the family. No wonder after only entering the door for half a year, you can get Sun's eyes to look at it differently!
In all fairness, she will never be worse than Zhang Yue when she coaxes people. It's just that she didn't fall into Sun's eyes at the beginning, and now even if she softly flatters her, it will be useless. I can only find another way to gain a foothold in the government in another way...... (To be continued......)
