Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart when she saw Zhao's aggrieved appearance.

Looking like this, I don't want to give this Hangzhou silk calico to Wen Yan.

Xue Miao's tears swirled in her eyes, pulling Mrs. Chen's arm and looking at the fabric pitifully. When Mama Lin handed over the fabric to Zhao's hands, Xue Miao thought in her heart that she wanted to make a waist-pinching armor, with the big red cloak given by Xue Yao, which was bright and warm in winter. Going out with such a dress will attract the envy of many people, especially a few children in the big house. Recently, Xue Miao occasionally went out, and people outside always said that the snow Ruxue in the big house was getting more and more beautiful, and she couldn't get angry, so she wanted to press them on her clothes and jewelry.

Unexpectedly, this fabric was taken away by Mrs. Chen to give to her aunt.

This is the fabric that Ding Fu gave to Xue Yao's face, why should he give it to his aunt.

Xue Yao hugged Mrs. Chen's arm, and was coquettish: "Grandma, there are three horses of this Hangzhou silk calico, you can leave me a batch to make clothes, I haven't worn such a valuable material since I was a child." ”

Before she had to put it aside, Xue Miao was so coquettish, and Mrs. Chen had already softened her heart.

But this time, Mrs. Chen was unmoved when she heard this. Compared with her granddaughter, of course, she is closer to her own daughter.

Mrs. Chen rubbed the fabric: "When your aunt was a girl, there were many children in the family, and she couldn't eat enough, let alone any good clothes." Look at what you are wearing now, what you are wearing on your head, and when I see you, I think of your aunt's hard life in our family, and now giving her a few pieces of fabric will not be able to exchange for your aunt's suffering in our family. ”

Zhao's heart froze, and Zhang sneered disdainfully.

What kind of life Wen Yan lived when she was a girl, the two sisters-in-law were very clear. Because she is the youngest daughter, Mrs. Chen and Mr. Chen can't help but pamper her, raising her to be lazy and slippery, arrogant and rude, she is simply the female version of Chen Zigui, not only that, Wen Yan's favorite thing to do is to make a trip for her sister-in-law, except for Zhao, she has plotted in front of Mrs. Chen. If the Zhao family hadn't relied on a clever mouth to win Wen Yan over, it is estimated that he would have been abused by Mrs. Chen like other concubines.

Hearing Mrs. Chen's refusal, Xue Miao's tears fell, she liked the three pieces of fabric too much. Each one is so soft and slippery, as light as a feather in the hand, and it is printed with an elegant Jiangnan water town flower case, how beautiful and beautiful.

Zhao felt sorry for Xue Miao, and said stubbornly: "Mother, three pieces of cloth, I might as well leave one for Xue Miao to tailor, and when Xue Yao comes back to the house, she will bring a few new materials to her aunt." ”

Old Mrs. Chen's face fell: "Come back next time?" I don't know when. Let's just say this time, if I hadn't told me about this material, you would have been able to spit it out, wouldn't you have resisted into the house without saying a word? If I don't mention it, you will swallow this material alone? ”

Zhao's previous thoughts were revealed, and his face turned blue and white for a while.

Zhang touched the material forward, and said with a smile: "Mother, this material is so good, I can wear it once in my life." How much can Wen Yan wear? The eldest sister-in-law has good needlework, and there are two girls who are as quiet as snow to help with it, so I think it is better to let the eldest sister-in-law tailor Wen Yan's clothes, and the remaining leftovers will make a handkerchief for me to take a pair of shoes. Zhang turned his head to look at Xue Jiao who was standing by the kang, "Are you right, Xue Jiao." ”

Xue Jiao didn't want her family to get involved here, so as not to arouse the jealousy of the Zhao family, so she had to push this job for the Li family: "Fourth aunt, my mother still has to make grandma's clothes, my mother usually only uses cheesecloth to make clothes, and we farmers don't pay attention to what style we have." You say that my mother's clothes look good, it's because you don't know how to make clothes, so you think whoever makes clothes looks good. Such good material, my mother has never seen it, what if it is broken? Even the leftover leftovers are also in charge of the milk and aunt. ”

Old Mrs. Chen listened to Xue Jiao's words, and her face was relieved.

Zhang smeared a handful of the fabric in a huff.

"Where are your dirty hands?" Mrs. Chen shook off Zhang's hand.

Xue Miao was still crying, and Zhao tried his best to look at her, so as not to cause her to cry and cause Mrs. Chen to scold.

"The cloth that people give us, why give it to my aunt." After all, Xue Miao is a child, and she only thinks about Nabu.

Zhao looked at Old Lady Chen's gloomy face and chuckled in his heart.

"The second daughter-in-law, take care of Xue Miao. You've been lying down for so many days, and you've gotten better, I think you can make today's lunch, these days when you've been sick, it's all made by the eldest daughter-in-law. Old Lady Chen stared at Zhao.

Xue Jiao thought to herself, in order to suppress the Zhao family, Mrs. Chen said a fair word for the Li family.

"Yes." Zhao agreed, and pulled Xue Miao out.

Xue Jiao and Zhang also walked out.

The sun was just right outside, the blue sky was full of white clouds, and a few impatiens in the corner of the wall were in full bloom in late autumn.

Xue Jiao was in a very good mood.

"Don't be complacent." Xue Miao looked angry.

These words were obviously said to Xue Jiao.

Xue Jiao ignored her and continued to walk towards the north wing.

"Xuejiao, you think beautifully, don't you just want to go to Dingfu to be a maid? Don't think that Mama Lin praised you and fell in love with you, and the old lady of Dingfu, my sister will not let you go if you go to Dingfu. Xue Jiao's attitude angered Xue Miao, and she said with her feet paced.

Xue Jiao stopped, her mind spinning rapidly. Could it be that Mama Lin really likes herself, she doesn't want to be a maid. Although her parents would never let her go that way, it was always bad to be remembered, she was afraid that the second room family would be bad to her family, and the last change of parents was a living lesson.

Zhao is a full smiling tiger, a sweet-faced and bitter lord, if you are negative about one thing, the more she encourages you to do it, if you can't wait for one thing, she will make you bad so that you can't do it.

Xue Jiao smiled, walked up to Xue Miao and said, "Yes, Sister Xue Yao eats and drinks spicy food in Ding Mansion, why can't I." ”

Xue Miao was speechless, but Zhao had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"Do you really want to be a maid? Xue Jiao. Zhao asked with a smile.

If he was afraid and said that he didn't want to go, Zhao would definitely want to go.

Xue Jiao looked eager to try, and deliberately said in reverse: "Yes, of course I want to go." Sister Xueyao's monthly routine for a month has caught up with the tea eggs I have sold for a year, and Mama Lin is also very satisfied with me, of course I want to go, second aunt, next time Sister Xueyao comes back, you tell her to take me to Dingfu when the time comes. ”

Xue Miao thought that Mama Lin was pulling Xue Jiao to speak, but she didn't look at herself, and she was angry in her heart: "Just because you want to, if you don't pee and take care of yourself, where are you worthy?" ”

"Where am I not worthy, Mama Lin also said, Sister Xueyao is not as clever as me when she is as old as me, if I enter the mansion, I will definitely do better than Sister Xueyao. I don't trust Sister Xueyao, I can go by myself. Xue Jiao pretended to be proud.

When Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up. But no, Xue Jiao has changed her temperament since she bumped into it, she is clever and smart, and she is not as good as Xue Yao when she is so old. She has an idea now, at a young age, the big house and the family listen to her, in case she really wants to go to Dingfu wholeheartedly, it is estimated that the eldest brother and sister-in-law will not be able to stop her, she goes to Dingfu, where will Xueyao live in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao's smile became more and more gentle: "Xue Jiao, you only see your sister Xue Yao wearing gold and silver, you don't know what she suffered." She was younger than you when she entered Dingfu, you can't remember at that time, there was no monthly rule in the first year of Dingfu, and she followed Mama to learn the rules every day, and the food was not as good as at home, and it was all cold leftovers. If one is not good, the grandmother will be beaten with her head and face, and if she can't stand it, she will die, and there will be no government to investigate. I learned the rules to assign the master, at the beginning it was a little girl, sweeping the floor and feeding the birds, not only suffering from the master's beating and scolding, but also suffering from the big girl's scolding, if the master suffered any grievances, the little girl had to carry the black pot, this is not a life of people. ”

Xue Jiao heard this, and deliberately shuddered: "You have to suffer so much." His eyes rolled, "Sister Xueyao can do it, and I'm also cute." ”

Zhao made up his mind to destroy Xue Jiao's idea of being a maid: "She is lucky, in case you are not so lucky, your father and mother should not cry to death." And" Zhao stared at Xue Jiao's feet and smiled, "When you enter the house as a maid, you have to wrap your feet, you look at your big feet, if you wrap your feet now, you have to break off a few of your toes, and then wrap them in with a cloth, you can't get out of bed, in case you don't wrap your feet well, your feet will be useless, and you will be unstable when walking." Your Sister Xueyao's feet, that's because they were wrapped when you were young. ”

Xue Jiao listened, shook her body, and slipped into the north wing room in fright.

Zhao looked at Xue Jiao's back and smiled, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"You're listening to the upper room again?" Xue Jiao had just walked into the North Wing, and Li asked with a smile.

Xue Jiao told Li about going to the room.

"Your milk still hurts your sister-in-law." Li said quietly.

"Milk hurts my sister-in-law so much, why doesn't my sister-in-law bring something to my milk every time she comes?" Xueru couldn't help but ask.

"When a mother's daughter, how can there be a picture of a girl's things." Li said with a smile.

"That being said, it's like my mother hurts a few of us, but the more this is the case, the more filial piety we should be." Xue Ru rarely said so much, "What's more, my sister-in-law has a pull on her face every time she comes back, and every time she goes back, her grandmother secretly wipes her tears." ”

Li sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Your sister-in-law is your grandmother's youngest daughter, and it hurts in the palm of her hand when she is young. When you grow up and say kiss, your grandmother wants to find a mother-in-law who treats your aunt as her daughter, and the family background is good, and your aunt will be wronged when she marries in the past. picked a few families, and picked the Duan family, and the Duan family felt that your father was a showman, so they ended this family business. Your aunt got married and lived a comfortable life for a year, but since the birth of her eldest daughter, your aunt has been serving the child all day long, and her body can't stand it...... There is friction with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law from time to time...... Your aunt has never suffered at home since she was a child, and she is arrogant, and she is on the same page as her mother-in-law. ”

Although Li's words were vague, Xue Jiao still heard this meaning. Wen Yan was arrogant at home, and according to Wen Yan's temperament, he was afraid that his reputation for arrogance would have spread out long ago. When she said that she was married, Mrs. Chen fell in love with the Duan family, and it is estimated that the Duan family did not agree at first, otherwise how could she get married in Chen Xiucai's face. Wen Yan married in the past, after all, she was a daughter-in-law, and at the beginning she restrained her temperament and lived a comfortable life. She has always been arrogant since she gave birth to a daughter, her psychology is unbalanced, the eldest lady's temper has come up, and she has begun to have friction with her eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law.

"When my mother was sick before, my aunt's mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to my house to see my mother, the old lady is a cheerful person, and my sister-in-law is also reasonable, not like a person who has friction with my aunt." Jing Hao asked suspiciously.

Li shook his head: "The old lady and sister-in-law of the Duan family are indeed good people, when your uncle and your mother looked at it for a long time, they said that the Duan family's mother-in-law is reasonable, only the two brothers, the family has a good dozen acres of land, and they live a solid life, the sister-in-law is kind-hearted, the eldest brother is capable, according to your aunt's arrogant temperament, it is suitable for such a simple and honest family." Who would have thought"

"For a person with a temperament like my sister-in-law, it is difficult to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in any kind of family that she marries." Xue Jiao didn't have a good impression of Wen Yan, and couldn't help but say, "Back then, my father and aunt were the middlemen, and my grandmother now sees my sister-in-law like this, I guess she will hate my father and aunt to death." ”

That's not it.

Li glanced at Xue Jiao: "Your sister-in-law is indeed favored at home, and I always hope that my mother-in-law can treat her as her own daughter." ”

"There are very few mothers-in-law in the world who can treat their daughter-in-law as a daughter-in-law, and the ** milk next door will hurt Xianglian Niang as a daughter-in-law, but Xianglian Niang is also like a mother-in-law to ** milk. Since Mrs. Duan is reasonable, she will not treat her aunt badly for no reason. "Xue Ru analyzed the problem so clearly for the first time.

Xue Jiao laughed when she heard it, Xue Ru meant that Wen Yan just wanted her mother-in-law to take her like a daughter, but she treated her mother-in-law as a mother-in-law, how could there be such a good thing.

Li felt that his daughter had grown up and could see the problem clearly, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Yes, Xueru is right, how can there be a mother-in-law who treats her daughter-in-law as a daughter-in-law. For example, your grandmother and your two aunts are like mothers and daughters, your grandmother loves your aunt, and your aunt is filial to your grandmother, but your grandmother is a daughter of me, who should be trained and should be painful, and for your aunt, it hurts, and when you encounter things, you can't train them, you can only knock on the side. Li simply continued on this topic.

"Mother, are you teaching your sister the way to have a good relationship with Sister Jing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?" Xue Jiao covered her sleeves and smiled.

"Say what." Xue Ru glanced at Xue Jiao, and Jing Hao lowered her head shyly.

Li Shi smiled gently, put down the half-contained soles in his hand and stood up: "It's noon, it's time for me to cook." ”

"Mother, today my grandmother asked my second aunt to cook." Xue Jiao pulled Lee's sleeve.

Lee hesitated.

"Mother, didn't you teach us the way of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just now? Look at you, if you go to the pot house to help cook, your grandmother thinks that you are disobedient to her, so she quarrels and our family will not be able to live in peace. Xue Jiao said pleadingly.

That's right, Li Shi heard this and sat down again.
