Chapter 43: The Righteous Daughter
Xu Mingzhu heard that the sunny smile on his face was gone, and he was replaced by a lonely face: "Didn't I say it before, when I was a child, my eldest sister beat me to the point that my head was bleeding, and my father didn't say anything when I saw it, I doubt that I am his daughter?" ”
Li Shuyu said: "Don't talk nonsense, is this also said by the girl's family?" ”
Chen Wenhui was very angry: "What's the matter with Lord Xu, spoiling the concubine like this." ”
Xu Mingzhu said: "It's not that my mother didn't give birth to a son. At the beginning, my foreign family had an official position, and my mother and father had been married for three years before they came out, and my father did not mention the matter of taking concubines, but was very affectionate with my mother. Although my grandmother was very upset, she did not urge my father to take a concubine. Later, my family committed an accident and was exiled. My father immediately took a concubine, that is, my aunt, it turned out that they had been together for a long time, but they were just hiding from my mother, and they also gave birth to my eldest brother, which my grandmother knew about a long time ago, so she didn't urge my father to take a concubine in those years. My father originally wanted to divorce my mother, because my grandfather had a thin reputation in Shilin, and my father was afraid that his reputation would be ruined, so he didn't divorce my mother. However, the eldest brother was regarded as a sister-in-law in my mother's name, but he was not handed over to my mother to raise, and my mother was driven to live in the lower courtyard, and the housework was handed over to my aunt to take care of. My aunt was in power at that time and bullied my mother every day. Later, my aunt gave birth to two sisters, my mother was also pregnant with me, my grandmother thought it was a boy, and deliberately came out to take away the right of my aunt, and took care of my own housekeeper, but I gave birth, and my grandmother saw that it was a girl, and she was very disappointed, and handed over the housekeeping power to my aunt, and no longer asked whether our mother and daughter were alive or dead. My aunt regained power, and she hated my mother even more, especially me, so she naturally bullied us every day. ”
After hearing this, Chen Wenhui thought that this was a typical Chen Shimei style. It's just that Xu Mingzhu's mother was too unlucky, she didn't give birth to a son, and her mother's family fell again, so she naturally had to suffer. It's just that I pity Xu Mingzhu. The concubines from the main room are not bullied by concubines and concubines every day. What is rare is that Xu Mingzhu is naturally optimistic and has not been defeated. This made Chen Wenhui have the heart to help her.
These are just thinking about it in my heart, but Chen Wenhui said: "Fortunately, my sister is an optimist, but I don't know that you and Sister Shuyu are friends before?" ”
When Xu Mingzhu heard this, she immediately laughed again, as if the miserable experience just happened to someone else: "I have several friends, like Sister Shuyu, Sister Lan Caiyu, Sister Lan Yingyu, and Sister Wang Yaozhen are all friends with me. There is also a friend who is the sister of Huang Yuyan of Lord Huang's family in Liangdao. ”
Now Chen Wenhui was happy: "Ah, it turns out that my friends are all your friends." It's just that we also have a friend who is Wan Qiaozhen's sister from the Wan family. It's the most laughing and noisy character.,One day I'll post a post asking you all to go to my party.,I'm sure you'll like it as soon as you see it.。 By the way, I have also met Sister Huang Yuyan you said, but I don't have a deep friendship, but since I can be my sister's friend, it must be a good one, when the time comes, you can talk to her, is it okay to invite her to come along? ”
Xu Mingzhu smiled with joy when she heard this, and suddenly remembered something, and became worried: "It's naturally good to go to your place to play, but my family is like this, where do I have freedom, every time I go out, they let me go wherever I want, how can I be the master." Besides, today, my two sisters will definitely not let me go to your house after you say a few words. ”
Li Shuyu also said: "Yes, we invite Sister Mingzhu to every party, but Sister Mingzhu can't come, and my mother-in-law can't get anything to her at home." ”
Chen Wenhui didn't care: "Don't worry, I have my own way." After a while, when the weather is warm, I invite you to play in my village, then it is called fun, and it is not interesting to gather in the garden of the house. ”
When Xu Mingzhu heard that he was going to play in the Grange, he was about to jump up with joy, Li Shuyu was also very happy, and then he was also worried: "They should be able to go, but my family's rules are big, I'm afraid I can't go." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled: "Don't worry, it's all wrapped up in me, and you will definitely be able to go." Let's not talk about these first, let's play the one in front of us, and compete to see who leads the big fish, okay? ”
Both little girls were happy to play with her.
When she went home at night, Chen Wenhui hurriedly told Bai what happened during the day. Bai Shi frowned: "Hmph, this Xu Zhijie, I have long heard that his official reputation is not very good, but when your father arrived, he didn't do anything wrong, and he stuttered very much, so I didn't pay attention to him." It seems that he is also wolf-hearted. It's just that how do you help Mingzhu? The matter in the backyard of her house, Lord Xu spoils his wife or his concubine, even if your father is a Shangguan, he can't take care of this. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and grabbed her mother's sleeve and said, "I need my mother's help for this." ”
Bai Shi said strangely: "Your father can't have a son, what can I do as a woman in the house." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "As long as my mother goes to a post and says that she likes Sister Mingzhu very much and wants Sister Mingzhu to come to our house as a guest, Lord Xu will definitely hurry up and let Sister Mingzhu come. As soon as his mother said that, he would rush to get someone. When she fell, her mother let Sister Mingzhu eat at home, and then recognized her as a goddaughter and rewarded her with jewelry, after Sister Mingzhu returned home, she would inevitably be valued by her father, and her aunt and sister naturally did not dare to bully her. Didn't you help her? ”
Bai Shi smiled: "Well, your method is very good." Just help others to the end, I will ask your father to come forward and officially recognize her as a righteous daughter. Actually, it's good that it's a girl, and she will leave home to marry in the future. I think this Lord Xu is like this, maybe something will happen in the future, if he recognizes his son as his godson, he will be implicated, and his daughter will not be afraid, and the girl will marry her husband, how can her mother's family not be afraid. ”
Chen Wenhui didn't expect this. She forgot that there is a joint sitting in this era, and it seems that she should be cautious in making friends in the future.
The Bai family was very neat, and he talked to Chen Yuanheng in the evening. As soon as Chen Yuanheng heard that it was his daughter's request, he agreed without saying a word. also said: "I have long seen that this Xu Zhijie is not a good thing, sure enough." In fact, his reputation in Shilin is not very good, although he did not divorce his wife, but he is very disdainful of his wife, so there are not many people who are willing to make friends with him, and his official position has not been moved for a long time. ”
Bai said: "Then wait for Ming'er, I will invite the Xu family Mingzhu girl to come over and have a look, if it is really a good one, we will recognize her as a righteous daughter, and often invite her to live in our house, we are too lonely as a girl, and it is also good to have multiple playmates." It doesn't cost much to be horizontal or vertical. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "What Madame said is very true. So be it. ”
The next day, Chen Wenhui came to Bai's upper room early in the morning, waiting for her mother to write a post. Chen Yuanheng had just put on his official uniform, and he hadn't gone to the front office yet, and when he saw Chen Wenhui coming to urge him so early, he laughed: "Hui'er is early today." Chen Wenhui said: "Father, I'm in a hurry, because I didn't calm down yesterday, I stabbed Xu Pearl a few words, she didn't dare to do anything to me, she would definitely sprinkle her anger on Sister Mingzhu." I couldn't sleep well all night in a hurry. ”
Chen Yuanheng and Bai Shi were taken aback when they heard this, they were busy looking at Chen Wenhui, and their little faces were really haggard, and they suddenly felt distressed, Chen Yuanheng said: "Madam, hurry up and write a post, hurry up and send a car to pick up Xu Mingzhu, well, no, I will tell Master Xu when I go to the front office, let him not work today, and quickly send my daughter and Mrs. to my house." Don't rush Hui'er. ”
After saying that, he hurriedly went out. Chen Wenhui was dumbfounded, is his father an abuse of power. Here, the Bai family has already called Qingshuang to get the post and send the mother-in-law, thinking about it, I am afraid that ordinary mother-in-law will not work, so I asked the red carp to find Chen Cai's family in person.
When Chen Cai's family arrived at Xu's house, Lord Xu had already rushed back in a hurry, and it was strange to see that it was the housekeeper's lady who came in person. I don't know why my youngest daughter voted for the fate of the county magistrate, and she attaches so much importance to it. Thinking in her heart, she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly asked her aunt to come out to receive the housekeeper's wife, while urging the little girl to hurry up and clean up for her wife and the third girl, and hurry to the county commander's house.
The aunt of the Xu family dressed up with flowers and branches full of pearls and emeralds, and came out to drink tea with Chen Cai's family. Chen Cai's family is wearing a gown that pinched gold and dug up clouds, combed a big round bun, and inserted a red gold cordyceps hairpin, which is simple and capable.
Before Chen Cai's family went out, he listened to the ins and outs of Qingshuang, and he was very ashamed of this aunt, so he deliberately drank tea and waited, and said slowly: "We have big rules in our family, and slaves and maids don't dare to sit when they go out to do errands." However, I am tired today, and my aunt is also a person of the same status as me, so I will be lazy and sit down, auntie, don't laugh. ”
Aunt Sun's face is red, she is already a pungent person, she has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, and everyone in the family treats her as her wife. Now that I suddenly heard this, I was furious, and I wanted to spill the tea bowl in my hand, but I was afraid that this was the inner housekeeper who was the boss of the husband, so I had to press the anger in my heart, pretending not to hear, but the hand holding the tea bowl turned white. I hated Mrs. Xu and Xu Mingzhu for being too slow, so she waited here, and I thought in my heart that when the mother and daughter came back from the county commander's house, they would definitely take this breath out of them.
Who knows, she didn't say anything, but Chen Cai's family didn't keep her mouth shut: "Auntie's house has loose rules, and she can still receive guests, which shows that your wife is a generous and virtuous person." There are no aunts in our county government, but there are many aunts in the capital, where do you dare to cross the distance a little. If they see you in this house, they will envy your aunt for coming to a good home and voting for a good lady. ”
