Chapter 59: The Dispute Between Wives and Concubines
"Although the women of the people will look at the diseases of some women, they naturally do not dare to compare with the female doctors." Magu bowed her head slightly and replied humbly.
For this answer, Aunt Xin finally accepted it with satisfaction, "Madame has a unique vision, I guess you also have your advantages." ”
"Discerning, discerning." The little parrot also followed the teachings.
Aunt Xin didn't laugh again this time, but glared at the little parrot deeply.
"Since you've come to the house, you'll have to have a good time." Aunt Xin sat down on the Taishi chair covered with a mink blanket on the side with a leisurely look, and then instructed the grandmother on the side: "After a while, you go to our warehouse to get some things and send them to Cuijin Courtyard, now that it's winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, don't freeze the guests." ”
The grandmother smiled and smiled kindly at Magu. This is the kindest smile she has encountered since she entered the Anqing Marquis Mansion.
"Thank you, Aunt Xin." Magu still accepted it. The ladies of this great mansion love to appreciate things above all, and if she opens her mouth to reward you, if you don't want them, they will be angry and unhappy.
Aunt Xin didn't say anything more, and sent Magu away.
On the way back to Cuijin Courtyard, Magu has been worrying about Fang Cai's situation.
Aunt Xin must be very favored, her love affair with Anqinghou's childhood sweetheart must be incomparable, not to mention, she also gave birth to the eldest son for Anqinghou's mansion, and now her daughter-in-law is about to give birth to the eldest grandson for Anqinghou's mansion. In ancient times, the eldest son and eldest grandson were the most important, as the saying goes, the mother is more expensive than the son, and her status in the Anqing Marquis Mansion must be unshakable.
The birth of the eldest grandson this time means that her house has an unbreakable position in the Anqing Hou Mansion, so she will naturally be very careful to protect the child in her daughter-in-law's womb.
If Magu helped Mrs. Anqinghou get rid of the child in the belly of the eldest and youngest grandmother, that is, the future eldest grandson of Anqinghou Mansion, what would it mean? The entire Anqinghou Mansion will definitely not let her go, and Mrs. Anqinghou will definitely not jump out to help her talk at that time, and maybe she will completely push this matter on her.
Not long after Aunt Ma arrived at Cuijin Courtyard, Aunt Xin's things were delivered. The leader is still the grandmother in Aunt Xin's house.
Seeing this, several rough mothers-in-law in Cuijin Courtyard hurriedly came out to salute and flattered: "Oh, hey, which gust of wind blew you Mama Yu?" How busy your old man usually is, if you have something to tell your minions to do, why not run this trip yourself? ”
Mama Yu didn't have the slightest shelf, and replied with a smile: "Aunt Xin sent me to send some things for the winter to the distinguished guests." ”
Guest? The rough mother-in-law muttered in their hearts, and looked at Aunt Ma with hesitant eyes, is she a distinguished guest? So why hasn't anyone been paying attention to it all these days?
Mama Yu looked around, frowned, and said, "How many of you are here to serve in this Cuijin Courtyard?" ”
The mothers-in-law came back to their senses and replied with a sneer: "At the beginning, Mama Zhou left us to clean the Cuijin Courtyard. ”
"This Mama Zhou is really getting more and more confused." After Mama Yu scolded, she said with a ashamed face at Magu: "Bear with me, this is the dereliction of duty of being a slave in our Anqing Hou Mansion, I will go and deploy a maid for you to send." ”
"No, no......" Magu hurriedly stopped, "Mama Yu is polite, I'm not a distinguished guest, I just came to the house to do something." Right now, it is already a lifting to let Magu live in such a big courtyard as Cuijin Courtyard, how dare you bother anymore? ”
"This ......," Mama Yu looked embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I have a maid here to serve, it's enough." Hu Caiyu came to the capital with him as a Magu maid, presumably everyone thinks so, why not push the boat down the river?
Mama Yu looked at Hu Caiyu again, so she didn't insist anymore, and instructed a few rough mothers-in-law to serve her well, and then left Cuijin Courtyard with confidence.
Now that winter has arrived, it is nothing more than some winter clothes, quilts, jewelry and the like. The capital is located in the north, and a large family like this has already burned the earth dragon.
"Yo, this Aunt Xin is really generous, and she actually rewarded the lady with such good things." Several rough mothers-in-law seemed to have a light in their eyes, and they were extremely envious.
Magu saw that the jewelry in this jewelry box was not very valuable, and picked out a few pairs of earrings from it and gave them to them.
Take people softly, and sure enough, this attitude has suddenly made a 360-degree turn compared to before.
"If the lady has anything to do in the future, don't be polite to a few of us." The mothers-in-law worked diligently and said with interest.
Magu pretended to be a fledgling and didn't understand human feelings, "This Aunt Xin rewarded me with such things, and I don't know how to thank her, but I want to kowtow to her?" ”
One of the older mothers-in-law looked like an old horse and said, "This aunt is not qualified to reward you with these, but our house is different from other houses." Aunt Xin was favored and gave birth to the eldest young master, this status is higher than that of ordinary aunts. ”
Magu understood what this mother-in-law meant, and generally these rewards should be given by the eldest lady.
The other mothers-in-law had already left, and Magu found an excuse to keep this mother-in-law Zhang. gave her a gold bracelet again, Mrs. Zhang smiled, and did not shy away from talking about the idle things in the house, "In this big family, if my aunt gives birth to her eldest son, she will have to be fostered in the long house." It's just that our Aunt Xin has long had a personal relationship with Master Hou, and this eldest young master was only taken back to the house and given a name after he was almost six years old. Hou Ye had just attacked the Hou throne at that time, and he felt guilty about Aunt Xin's mother and son, so he promised Aunt Xin to raise the eldest young master by herself. ”
Mrs. Zhang took the tea handed by Magu, took a big sip, sat down and continued: "This eldest young master in our house is also really competitive, he has been smart since he was a child, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of fifteen, and he was the top student in high school at the age of sixteen, and then he entered the office. Right now, I'm following the second prince on an errand, and the future is limitless. ”
Aunt Ma was stunned, no wonder Aunt Xin was more like a hostess. Dare to ** family depends not only on the favor of the Hou Ye, but also on the son is quite competitive, and the people rely on the real strength to thrive in the Hou Mansion.
Hu Caiyu had a shocked expression, and he was actually involved with the second prince's people again.
Magu didn't think of the second prince at all, and she was very interested in the things in the Anqing Marquis's mansion and said: "The eldest young master is so smart, presumably the second young master is also like his brother." ”
Mrs. Zhang shook her head, in the end, she couldn't say that the second young master was much more stupid than the eldest young master.
Although Aunt Na Xin is an aunt, she has the favor of the Hou Ye and a competitive son, so naturally her waist is straighter than that of ordinary aunts. And Mrs. An Qinghou, just her domineering temperament makes it difficult for people to get close, and she must not be as favored as Aunt Xin. plus the son is not as good as other people's sons, there must be a flame in his heart.
At this moment, Magu sorted out everything, and suddenly opened her mouth. In order to keep her position as the eldest lady and keep her son's position in the mansion, Mrs. An Qinghou used vicious methods. I will definitely try my best to get rid of the eldest grandson who will be born.
