Lin Dongqi lowered his shoulders and said: "I don't cry in front of my mother-in-law, I don't laugh, I can find fault with everything, send people to point at Sang and scold Huai and say cool things, and treat me very amiably on the face, every time I make people cry, I keep these in my heart, and I didn't say anything to my mother, I am afraid that she will be in a hurry, besides, I can't hide under my mother's arm for the rest of my life to avoid the wind and rain, and now I can't be filial piety around me is already guilty, and then add to the troubles of my parents, wouldn't it be more sinful." I don't know what to do in the future, my husband has been admitted to the Jinshi, and now he has entered the Hanlin Academy, and he will be released in a year, I inquired once, and I heard that my mother-in-law wants to keep me at home and won't let me go with me. ”

Li Miaozhi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I'm also afraid that Su Meiru will be instigated by the fox, a few days ago, she chewed all over her mouth, saying that her husband and her father-in-law hid their hearts, and they were greedy for the silver in the ink room, and the accounts must not be right. ”

Miao and Qi glanced at each other, and sighed in unison, Li Miaozhi said: "That's it, let's eat and drink." ”

Jiang Xiyun looked at Lin Dongqi, then at Li Miaozhi, and said in a low voice: "I have two recent news to talk to you about Lele, and I hope that after listening to it, all the troubles will be solved." ”

Li Miaozhi said: "What news? ”

Jiang Xiyun said leisurely: "The king of the Ministry of Officials is old and enters the flowers, two years ago, he newly accepted a concubine, and his love is incomprehensible. ”

Li Miaozhi laughed and said: "It's the same manuscript as my father-in-law, and these two people should get acquainted and worship." ”

Jiang Xiyun said: "Mrs. Shilang cried, made trouble and hanged herself, all of which were useless, until Mrs. Shilang's younger brother brought a more beautiful Yangzhou thin horse from outside to Wang Shilang as a concubine, and the woman's deed was in the hands of Mrs. Shilang, and the two were united." Since ancient times, they have only listened to the newcomers laughing and hearing the old people crying, with this competition for favor, Wang Shilang's heart was half back, and he no longer obeyed the concubine in everything, and the family is now peaceful. ”

Li Miaozhi is a smart person, and he understands it at one point, and said: "What you said is that I don't know if my mother-in-law minds if my father-in-law will accept another room."

Jiang Xiyun said lightly: "Instead of being angry with Aunt Su day and night, it is better to find an opponent who is on par with her." Your mother-in-law has your husband's eldest son, and she will rely on it in the future, but now she just wants to find a helper to live a good day, why not be afraid of accepting a new aunt? Besides, let Aunt Su instigate them, let their father and son separate from morality, and the family will also be scattered! ”

Li Miaozhi thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said: "That's right, what you said is also a way, drive Ming'er back to my parents' house and talk to my mother, she is good friends with her mother-in-law, and it is safer for her to say it." ”

Lin Dongqi's eyes widened, only to see Jiang Xiyun looking at her and saying: "Now there is news outside, Zhao Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, daughter-in-law and his wife are also often filthy, Zhao's wife is fierce, and Yin is very powerful. Until Zhao Hanlin became obsessed with the famous Hua Yuying, he actually bought it home for a thousand taels of silver in addition to his cheap status, and Zhao's wife had no intention of being angry with her daughter-in-law again, and she was thinking about not showing signs with Hua Yuying, and her daughter-in-law often went to give Zhao's wife relief, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became close. ”

Lin Dongqi was stunned, immediately understood, and muttered: "This my father-in-law is not a good woman."

Jiang Xiyun said: "There are only two old aunts around Zhenguo Gong, and now they are still prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, if the brothers and sisters come forward and accept a new concubine from a good house, it is not impossible." Is there a solution? Separated by blood, your mother-in-law is calculating you, you are a junior, only you have to suffer, but anyone who dares to say a word is your fault for disobedience, and you are willing to suffer it for a long time in the future? ”

Lin Dongqi bit his lip and didn't say a word.

Jiang Xiyun paused and said, "It's better to beg your eldest brother for this matter, I heard that he saved the life of your father-in-law and second brother during the war, the relationship between the two is extraordinary, you go to him to cry, and exaggerate the original grievances ten times and a hundred times, he is the most protective, and he will go out for you to find the second brother of Zhenguo Gong for you, it is normal for this brother to send concubines, and then it will be done."

Lin Dongqi was a little moved, but he felt that something was wrong: "But it's not good to do this"

But I heard Jiang Xiyun sigh faintly: "Women, in fact, you should have seen through this life a long time ago, first hold the silver tightly, treat yourself better, and raise the child well in the future. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them were silent, only the sound of singing outside the house. No one paid attention to it, Lin Dongjun, who was lying on the big kang, quietly opened a slit in his eyelids, looked at it, and closed them again.

It is said that Xianglan stood for a long time to serve, and when Qin and others finished eating, they removed the banquet and put the fruit cake on the table again, Qin asked Xianglan to eat, and the maids had already placed a table for Xianglan under the corridor, Xianglan just sat down, and ate a chopstick dish with chopsticks, and saw Lin Dongqi and Li Miaozhi coming over.

Lin Dongqi hesitated halfway through the line and said, "Forget it." Then he had to turn back.

Li Miaozhi hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Didn't you say it well just now?" I'll accompany you, in case you can't open your mouth, and I'll help you round the field. He said in a low voice: "Xianglan is your eldest brother's eyeballs, you beg her to say a few more good words for you, and it will be more and more foolproof when the time comes, right?" Saying that, Lalin Dongqi left, and when she saw that she was still in the future, she said: "Go, you person, this is for your good, the emperor is really not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry." ”

Xianglan saw the two of them muttering on the side, so she knew that something was wrong, put down her chopsticks and stood up and said, "Second aunt, third grandma, what's the matter?" ”

Li Miaozhi smiled: "There is exactly one thing, I beg you to come." As he spoke, he dragged Lin Dongqi over.

The two of them also sat down at the table, three of you, look at me, I look at you, Li Miaozhi kicked Lin Dongqi and gave her a look, Lin Dongqi's face was slightly red, and he muttered a few words, and said: "Xianglan, there is something I still ask you for now." ”

"Well, second aunt and grandmother, please speak."

Lin Dongqi glanced at Li Miao, paused again, and said in a heart: "My mother-in-law treats me very viciously, and it is not right to see me horizontally and vertically, saying that I have no articulate or clever words, so that the old servants of the family are all playing music in front of me, I have endured these, but the husband will be released next year, and my mother-in-law will not let me go, and a maid in her room will be promoted to be an aunt, and follow her husband, I" Lin Dongqi said and said, she was really wronged, she couldn't help but wipe her tears with a handkerchief, took a breath and said: "Someone gave me an idea, Said to give my father-in-law a new concubine, my mother-in-law stared at others and couldn't care about me, the eldest brother has a very good relationship with the second brother of the town Guogong, I want to mention it to him, let his second brother be the master of the banquet to take a good concubine, this matter has to annoy you to tell the eldest brother for me, I also know in my heart that it is ridiculous for my daughter-in-law to give my father-in-law a concubine, but I can't do it" said and cried.

Xianglan couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, Li Miaozhi said on the side: "Yes, now that the second sister is in such a difficult situation, I have to ask you to say a few good words to the eldest brother." ”

Xianglan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, second aunt and grandmother, I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this favor." ”

Qi and Miao were both stunned.

Lin Dongqi asked, "Why?" ”

Xianglan said: "When Zigong asked Confucius, what sentence could he practice for life? Confucius said: It is forgiveness. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Second girl, your mother-in-law insisted on giving your husband a maid, you know how sad it is, you don't want to bear it, so don't add trouble to the other party, just pay it back. ”

Li Miaozhi: "That's the way of a gentleman, you should get along like this." The second sister's mother-in-law did something that stinks, and when a villain like her is treated, she should return it to her and let her taste it! ”

Xianglan laughed when she heard this: "'Do unto others what you don't want to be done to yourself' This saying should be practiced for life, and there should be no villain gentleman." Let's say that's the idea, marry a good concubine and come in, and the matter will be over? Xu Zhenguo Duchess was even more annoyed and hateful in her heart, she was not happy with herself, she sprinkled her anger on her daughter-in-law, and tortured the second girl more and more. What's more, there is no impermeable wall in this world, it's okay to hide it tightly, in case she later lets her mother-in-law know that it is our family's idea, then it will be repaid, this hatred is only afraid that it will not be untied until the end of its life, and then spread to the outside, and the face inside and outside will be lost, what if the trouble ends unstoppable? Take a step back and say, because of her mother-in-law's bullying, let's return the other, only to relieve the anger for a while, but once the cause is planted, it must be a gang in the future, the two parties are opposed, annoyed each other, retaliate against each other and anger is more ruthless than one time, and the grudge is deeper than one time, vindictive, unforgiving, the town lives in the struggle, lives in the right and wrong where I say bad things about you, and you stumble on me in the right and wrong, have you ever been happy in such a day? ”

Lin Dongqi nodded slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Then what should I do?" ”

Xianglan said: "Stop evil first, don't hate." Hate will be resentful, offending people will soon have retribution, that person will set up all kinds of obstacles, not their own hatred and anger can be solved, others say that they have a little bit of right and wrong to hold grudges, in fact, they hurt themselves, to have a big heart to endure. ”

Li Miaozhi said: "Endure everything, isn't it a coward, what should I do if the other party bullies me to the end?" ”

Xianglan smiled again: "At first, I was patient, softly and obediently to the other party, and sent some gifts to her, even if I was treated rudely, I still had to be sincere, and turn the bad fate into a good fate. Do this first, and form a good relationship, so that she will listen to your words, be close to you, and see your benefits. ”

Li Miaozhi thought for a while and said, "If you don't fight light, you will suffer." ”

Xianglan said: "Don't calculate everything too clearly, take a long-term view, be free and easy, and think about your own interests and losses first, there will be too many troubles." He said to Lin Dongqi again: "You close one eye, don't look at your mother-in-law's evil, open one eye, only look at her goodness, treat her with sincerity, and always obey her wishes, not blindly foolish and filial. To be like this for a long time, don't give up because of other people's gossip, or feel that it is not effective, there is a saying that 'freezing three feet is not a day's cold' is the same for people in the world, you have to do it slowly bit by bit, your mother-in-law can trust you, and then be lenient. This is the long-term way, to strike the other party with a sense of revenge, even if it is a temporary victory, it will also bury calamity, and with a forgiving heart to stop evil and patience, you can be at ease. After thinking about it again, he said, "Horizontal and vertical release is next year's thing, first with sincerity, if not, then released, if she still wants to keep you, Mrs. and uncle will not sit idly by, I will definitely help." I don't agree with the idea of today's discussion, but I won't reveal a word like others when I leave. What should I do about this, I also ask the second aunt and the third grandmother to think deeply. ”

Lin Dongqi took a deep breath and said, "You said this, I"

Xianglan looked at Lin Dongqi and said sincerely: "What I said came from the bottom of my heart, and some of it was painful to the skin. After she said this, she was stunned, thinking that she had hatred and took revenge on Cao Lihuan when she left. and because of his lack of determination in his heart, he couldn't afford to be damaged by a few sour words from the Xia family, so his father was imprisoned; Because of his vigor, he refused to let people go, and made a big deal about his tongue, so that a girl like flowers and willows committed suicide when she thought of this, and couldn't help but hang her head and be silent.

Lin Dongqi thought thoughtfully, slowly stood up and walked back, Li Miaozhi saw it and hurriedly followed her, Lin Dongqi walked for a while, suddenly stopped, turned around and said: "I decided to listen to Xianglan, do not do to others what you do not want, first be lenient and patient." ”

Li Miaoyi was speechless for a while, looking at her without speaking.

Lin Dongqi looked at a few light clouds in the sky, and said slowly: "Do you know, the original wife didn't treat Xianglan well, she was too delicate, her heart was too high, I'm afraid she was not a safe person, even if she once saved me, but my wife still found many ways to press her, Xianglan never complained, still saved her and her fourth sister with great kindness and righteousness, Mrs. treated her better, but still guarded her, never put her heart in her heart, and Xianglan never had a word of complaint." Originally, I thought that she couldn't offend her wife because 'people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads', and even resentment was only buried in her heart. But listening to her words today, I realized that she really didn't resent it, but I was narrow-minded. My mother is extremely shrewd, and now she cherishes Xianglan so much, all because she is sincere and forgiving in her daily life, she can do it, and so can I. ”

Li Miaozhi nodded slowly, thinking of Jiang Xiyun, and suddenly sighed.

Here Su Meiru supported the two little girls, holding her belly and walking towards the big flower hall, and was copying her hand on the verandah, when she saw Lin Dongjun greeted her with a smile on her face and said: "Let me take a look, yo, this belly is bigger than a few days ago, I'm just afraid of hard work?" ”

Su Meiru also smiled: "I'm tired of my aunt and grandmother, I'm fine." I took the tonic that I asked you to sell from the sea last time. But in his heart, he said: "There is no shame in things, there is not enough cheapness, I don't know how much silver I squeezed from me by borrowing goods, if I don't need her, I won't pay attention to her!" ”

Lin Dongjun smiled like a spring breeze: "Of course, these medicinal materials are extremely valuable. As she spoke, her smile faded, and she looked left and right, Su Meiru immediately understood, retreated from her left and right, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Dongjun said: "I heard about an incident, aunt and grandmother, don't tell others that I sued you just because I ate too much wine and slept in the back room, I heard Jiang Xiyun and Li Miaozhi say that I want to take a concubine for my second uncle and share my favor with you." Ouch, as soon as I heard this, I was shocked to sweat all over my body, how did I get this! Thinking about you, Baba came to report a message. ”

Su Meiru was furious when she heard this, her willow eyebrows raised her eyebrows, and she sneered: "The little frozen mouse who can't get on the high platform still wants to come to calculate me?" I really don't know when she will know my means! He eased his face to Lin Dongjun again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for telling me, there will be such a storm in the future, and I have to bother you to hear and inform me, otherwise I am helpless, they are fierce and vicious, and they will not eat me one by one." When you ask someone to go out to sell goods, I will order some more things, and I will give you fifty taels of money when I go back. ”

Lin Dongjun secretly said that he was going to send me silver, and said with a smile on his face: "You just have to rest assured, I know it in my heart." You have to take care of yourself, but don't get angry with it. ”

Su Meiru said goodbye to Lin Dongjun and walked from the side door to the flower hall, and the Wang family saw her at a glance, and her face was gloomy. Li Miaozhi hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down in Wang's ear, and said in a low voice: "Madam, don't put on a face, now there are so many pairs of eyes staring up and down, even if you don't share the hatred of the sky, you have to pretend to be like a sweet brother and sister, not to mention that this is the old lady's birthday, and the more you strain your face, the more you have to show your atmosphere." ”

Wang nodded reluctantly, squeezed out a smile, and said to the old lady: "Look, they all say that she is heavy and won't let her come, but she still comes, come and sit down." ”

Old Mrs. Lin glanced up at Su Meiru and replied lightly.

Su Meiru didn't mind at all, as if she hadn't seen it, she stepped forward and saluted slightly: "I wish the old lady happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." He smiled again, "I should have knelt, but my body was heavy, and I asked the old lady to forgive me." ”

Mrs. Lin said: "Naturally, I don't blame you, just sit and listen to the play." ”

Su Meiru was full of smiles, sat down, and immediately served tea and fruit on the left and right. Su Meiru was sitting next to Xianglan, smiling at Xianglan. Xianglan remembered that some rumors in the house had blown into her ears these days, and this Su Meiru turned out to be Lin Jinlou's friend. Now seeing this person, she felt a little uncomfortable, and she also pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled at Su Meiru, then looked out again and ignored it. Su Meiru accosted her a few times, but Xianglan only smiled lightly and refused to say a word, and over time, Su Meiru stopped asking, and only grabbed peanuts and melon seeds to eat.

After singing for a long time, I heard someone say: "The old lady is here!" This sound startled everyone in the room. R1152
