Chapter 290: Inside Story (4)
At the beginning of August, the heat in Jiangnan has not yet faded, especially under the sun, and it will sweat all over.
It's completely different from being in the capital.
Chu Weilin paid attention to her feet, and said to Chu Weixiu: "In previous years, in the capital, it was time to add a thin jacket at this time, but when I came to Jiangnan, even the tulle felt stuffy." ”
When Chu Weixiu heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I was not used to it. It's sticky in the summer, and it's cold in the winter, but after a few years, I'm a little used to it. You've only been here for a few months, and you haven't seen the winter here. But ah, you are better than me, when my brother-in-law's term here is completed, I can go back to Beijing, I want to be a Jiangnan person for the rest of my life. ”
Chu Weilin's heart was sour, but Chu Weixiu smiled calmly, which made her relax a little, and asked carefully about the difference in this winter.
He Wuniang, who was following behind, couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, so she could only clench her fists hard, not hiding the anger in her eyes at all, and staring at the two graceful figures in front of her.
He Sanniang noticed He Wuniang's mood, and she was extremely sensitive, feeling that those people watching from a distance were all pointing at them, and those gossips were piercing like knives, which made her unbearable.
She didn't want to stay in front of people anymore, she couldn't wait to get to the house faster, whether it was the water pavilion or the flower hall, it was better than making jokes in this person's slow manner.
He Sanniang bit her lip and wanted to cry, He Wuniang gritted her teeth and said, "They did it on purpose!" ”
Deliberately walking so slowly, deliberately embarrassing their sisters so much!
Chu Weilin didn't know what the sisters of the He family thought behind, but in fact, she and Chu Weixiu's pace was not slow. It's just that the sisters of the He family are living like a year at the moment, so they feel so unbearable.
It's just that she didn't dare to speed up her pace, although she had been to this high home twice, but after all, she was not as familiar as her own yard, she was afraid that she would be in a hurry, her feet would fall short, and she would stumble a few steps, which would be a little dangerous.
Gao ** milk also took care of Chu Weilin's belly, and did not slow to lead the way. When passing through the fork in the road to the flower hall. She hesitated slightly, but still took the person to the water pavilion.
No matter what is going on in the He family, it is all a family affair, and there are many guests enjoying chrysanthemums near the flower hall. It's not like the top of the water pavilion. No one else could hear anything.
Chu Weilin slowly walked up the stairs. Seeing that there were already people sitting in the water attic, she turned her head to look at Gao ** milk.
Gao ** was also a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "Old lady." Mrs. Tao. ”
Mrs. Gao smiled and said, "Our two old wives came here to find a clean place, and Mrs. Chang also likes it here?" It seems to coincide with us. ”
Chu Weilin's smile became even stronger, and she greeted the two old ladies, and said to Gao ** Milk: "In this case, ** Milk went to invite Mrs. Fan." ”
Gao ** milk hesitated, but she could only respond hard.
Chu Weixiu turned his head and glanced at He Sanniang and He Wuniang who were upstairs, and said, "Please also invite Aunt Min to come with you." ”
Chu Weixiu's voice was neither high nor low, everyone present heard it, the old lady Gao glanced at Chu Weixiu up and down, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, this one looked close to Chu Weilin, and her dress was also good, could this Aunt Min be a side house in her house? But the Gao family held a banquet, and no wife and grandmother had ever come with a concubine......
Old Lady Gao looked at it, Chu Weilin sat down, and introduced: "This is my eldest sister of my mother's family, I married into the He family in Shaocheng a few years ago, and this time I came to Jinzhou to see me." ”
The daughter-in-law of the He family?
Old Lady Gao was surprised, and even Old Lady Tao couldn't help but look at Chu Weixiu twice.
"It's a coincidence, the eldest sister accompanied me to see the chrysanthemum, but I met their family's Sanniang and Wuniang." Chu Weilin replied.
Mrs. Gao moved her eyes to He Sanniang and He Wuniang, and saw that one of them was embarrassed and aggrieved, and the other was angry, and after a little thought, she understood.
This must be for the previous time, He Wuniang admired Chang Yuyun, but she didn't expect Chang Yuyun to be her sister-in-law's brother-in-law, and she also said something to Chu Weilin.
Mrs. Gao thought that she had guessed correctly, smiled and wanted to ease up, and said: "It's really a coincidence, speaking of which, it was also from the south to the north before, and I moved around on weekdays, but now I know each other, and in Jinzhou City in the future, we will also take care of each other." ”
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Mrs. Fan's figure appeared at the staircase, she sneered and said, "Not to mention the north and south, even if you are in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be oolongs." Two old ladies, I only found out today that the second wife of the He family has been in Shaocheng all along, we are here, that is a Li ghost! ”
"What did you say?" Old Lady Gao raised her voice and asked, "Can't you talk nonsense?" ”
Mrs. Fan pursed her lips: "You know that my mouth is ruthless, but I never chew the root of my tongue." Grandma He said it herself, can there be a fake? ”
Old Lady Gao's staring gaze made the He family sisters unable to resist, seeing their reaction like this, Old Lady Gao already had some judgment, so she asked Chu Weixiu: "...... this matter?"
"It's all ugly, and it's your ears." Chu Weixiu got up and confessed, "This kind of thing should have been said in private, but I was too surprised when I was in the garden, so it made a fuss." Ay! ”
"You talk nonsense!" He Wuniang's eyes turned red, and she pointed at Chu Weixiu and said, "You are obviously deliberate, deliberately making trouble well-known, deliberately making us unable to get off the stage, and now pretending to be a good person!" ”
Chu Weixiu narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly: "Wu Niang, then you say, why did I make the He family embarrassed?" ”
Let the He sisters make a fool of themselves, in the final analysis, it is the people of the He family who lose.
The Jiangnan Wang family, the He family in Shaocheng, actually had such an ugly thing, and when it was spread, wouldn't it be laughing off the big teeth of others?
"I am the daughter-in-law of the He family, I have two sons, and I value the reputation of the He family more than you." Chu Weixiu said coldly.
Fake! It's all fake! He Wuniang shouted in her heart, but she didn't know how to refute Chu Weixiu.
The experience of fighting with Chu Weixiu in the past is still vivid, and every time she is dumb and eats coptis. I can't say anything about my suffering, I didn't take advantage of the slightest benefit, and I had to provoke a scolding from the old lady.
That kind of experience made He Wuniang instinctively want to avoid the confrontation with Chu Weixiu.
He Sanniang listened to Chu Weixiu's accusation, tears couldn't help falling, and she said in a dumb voice: "Sister-in-law, we have already left Shaocheng, don't go around in front of my wife, we two sisters, can't block your way at all, why do you want to kill us all?" Back then, you forced us out of the He family. Now even the Golden State won't let us stay? ”
Old Lady Gao frowned. Mrs. Tao looked like she had nothing to do with her, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.
Chu Weixiu sighed and shook his head, looking like he didn't want to say more to them.
Chu Weilin realized that it was time for her to speak. Then he said: "Is this a rake?" My eldest sister is just your sister-in-law. Not a grandmother. Why did she force you out of the He family? What's in it with her? Besides, the old lady, the old lady, the eldest man, and the eldest lady of the He family are all here, and my eldest sister has decided to stay with you when it is your turn? It is clear that Aunt Min refuses to live under the eldest wife. This persuaded the eldest master to let you leave Shaocheng, if there is no elder nod, do you think that an aunt with two concubines can live outside for a few years? Still in a hurry? It's ridiculous! ”
Every sentence is reasonable, and the people who don't know the head of the He family hear such words, and they undoubtedly believe Chu Weixiu.
The old ladies and wives here are all wives, and they have raised their children, in all fairness, for the concubines, they will be more or less picky in their hearts, but for the concubines, if they can get by on the face, forget it, just wait to marry out after they are raised, and add an extra in-law to the family.
Come to think of it, the eldest wife of the He family should also consider it like this, and Chu Weixiu, as the eldest sister-in-law, why can't she get along with her sister-in-law?
"Chu Weixiu, are you thinking about me now?" Aunt Min's sharp voice came, and the face that appeared at the top of the stairs was extremely gloomy, and her eyes were full of hatred, "How many times did you calculate me in order to please the Hong family?" But the result? Will Hung help you? At the end of the day, you're just as crushed by that little vixen. ”
Chu Weixiu looked directly at Aunt Min, her eyes were facing each other, but Chu Weixiu was very calm, she slowly evened out her breath, and said: "It is the duty of a daughter-in-law to please your mother-in-law." Auntie, it's just that you don't serve in front of your mother-in-law, why did you come to Jinzhou and lie about your second wife? When I returned to Shaocheng, it was not me, not my mother-in-law, but my father-in-law. ”
Aunt Min gritted her silver teeth, Chu Weixiu avoided the important and took it lightly, and carried Master He out, it was really hateful!
And that aunt made this Aunt Min, who regarded herself as his wife in Jinzhou, extremely uncomfortable, she had not heard such a title for a long time, and no one in the He family in Jinzhou dared to call her like this.
Aunt Min's eyes sank, and she snorted: "If it weren't for Hong's sideways, I would have been the main house!" ”
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the marriage is a marriage book, and there is never a saying that it should or should not be." Chu Weixiu said.
Aunt Min's face became darker and darker, she heard He Sanniang's low sobs, and then looked at He Wuniang's obviously injured but raised jaw, and her heart was like a knife.
Her daughter, why should people do this?
Chu Weixiu suddenly came to Jinzhou, all for Chu Weilin!
Aunt Min was furious, took a sip, and said: "It is said that the women of the family are well-read and reasonable, and they have been familiar with the female precepts and women's training since they were children, but in the end, it is just such a style." Rao is your sister, and she also knows that she should take care of her husband, you are pregnant, but you don't think about your husband, don't add people in the house, don't be dedicated to your husband, and don't care about your in-laws! ”
Chu Weilin put down the tea cup in her hand, did not hide her disdain at all, and said: "What Aunt Min said, marrying and obeying her husband, I have never forgotten, now our father does not want to accept the small, do I want to go against his will and insist on adding someone in the house?" I have been married for less than three years, and I have already had a son, and I have another in my belly, where am I not satisfied with my in-laws? Besides, my in-laws didn't say anything, and our grandfather didn't say anything, so why is it your turn to point fingers at me? I've seen people who want to climb high branches, but I've never seen people who want their daughters to be small like this. ”
Aunt Min's eyes were full of stars, and her head ached.
She knew that what Chu Weilin said made sense, but she happened to be standing on the opposite side, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"Madame, don't be angry, watch your body." Mrs. Fan persuaded Chu Weilin softly, "Lord Chang and Mrs. Chang have a deep affection, which makes people envious. I am not ashamed to say this, if the husband does not want to accept the new, those of us who are wives will be happy behind our backs, how can we be stupid to accept people for him? ”
Jiangnan women are amorous and have one heart to deliver, who doesn't expect the other party to treat each other sincerely, but in fact, most of them are sad people, so that when they wait for the concubine to have a room, they are more and more distant than the women in Beijing.
It's like the Gao family's banquet, only the wives and grandmothers are present, and the concubines never come to the door.
Aunt Min pretended to be present at the ceremony, which was more resentful.
She doesn't qualify to be here.
Chu Weilin motioned for Liuyu to add some hot tea, holding the tea cup, the water was steaming, her eyes swept to the water twice, and saw that many people were paying attention to the movements on the water pavilion, and she knew it in her heart.
With today's incident, Aunt Min and the two girls of the He family must have a hard time in Jinzhou.
Chu Weilin turned around and whispered to Chu Weixiu: "Eldest sister, no matter how you are your own girls, they are not young anymore, although the eldest sister-in-law is in the mother, but their mother is still there, it is not good for you to go past your mother-in-law." It's better to let your brother-in-law return to your mother-in-law. ”
Chu Weixiu bowed his head and said, "I have no intention of appreciating chrysanthemums today, why don't I go back to the house first, I will talk to my master carefully about this matter, and let him have an idea." ”
The two sisters talked a few words, and then got up to take their leave.
Mrs. Gao didn't stay with each other, and let Mrs. Gao send them out, and then she didn't look at Aunt Min and the two sisters of the He family, and exchanged words with Mrs. Tao: "What do you think?" ”
"Do you need to think about it?" Old Madam Tao pouted, "The He family's housework, we are mixed in, Mrs. Chang, we can't offend." Speaking of which, if it weren't for He Wuniang's nonsense that day, it wouldn't be like this. However, if you understand the temperament of Lord Chang and Mrs. Chang somewhat, there will always be fewer people who will fight Lord Chang's ideas in the future. ”
Old Lady Gao was about to nod, but Mrs. Fan sneered, but this smile was too mocking and cold, and even the two old ladies felt cold behind their backs.
"Old Mrs. Tao, it's best that you can figure it out, in Jinzhou City, you are also highly respected, since you know that Mrs. Chang and Master Chang have a deep relationship between husband and wife, you can take it easy, don't let the little girl in your family get involved.
You see that you are quite good at planning now, and ask the five mothers of the He family to explore the path for you, since they are tired of Mrs. Chang, they will hold a banquet in Gaofu in the future, and they will not be invited.
But you are different, if you are confused and annoy Mrs. Chang for a while, in the future, will Mrs. Gao invite you or not? ”
Old Lady Tao's eyes tightened.
Aunt Min looked at Mrs. Tao in disbelief, according to Mrs. Fan's meaning, this Mrs. Tao, who has always been concerned about herself and occasionally makes a round, actually uses them as a stepping stone? (To be continued......)
