Chapter Eighty-Seven: Every Man's Mind
Chen Wenhui and her mother Bai made some small gifts, such as newly made pastries, new silk from the south of the Yangtze River, a few new cotton cloths, and of course, the newly made wine in Anseong.
With these small gifts, the two mothers and daughters went to the Chen family's mansion in a comfortable carriage. The Chen family's mansion was full of joy, and Bai and Chen Wenhui came directly to the upper room of their grandmother, Mrs. Chen, Li.
Bai and Chen Wenhui gave the old lady a joy, and the old lady was very happy at first glance, smiling without seeing her eyes, and looking very kind.
After a while, the eldest lady also came over with her daughter-in-law. The second lady also came over with Wen Jin.
The Bai family first greeted the second lady. The second lady looked happy, but Wen Jin was unhappy, and everyone pretended not to see it.
Chen Wenhui deliberately asked Wenjin: "Why does the third sister have time to go back to her parents' house?" ”
Wen Jin's face flashed with anger, and the second lady hurriedly said: "Isn't this a happy event in the family, will I take her over for a few days?" ”
Bai said, "Why didn't you see Wen Hao?" Now that Wen Hao is older, shouldn't he worry about finding a daughter-in-law? ”
The second lady said: "No, I have already seen several houses, but I am not satisfied." If the third brother and sister have a suitable one, they will also introduce them to us. ”
Bai agreed.
The eldest lady Wang said: "My mother's family has two very good girls, do you want my younger siblings to go and see?" ”
The second lady snorted coldly and said: "Our family is a daughter-in-law from a high-ranking family, and it's annoying to look at it, I envy the third brother and sister for finding a daughter-in-law from a businessman, you see that this helps Wen Jun take good care of Xinguang City, everyone says that the third brother and sister have a vision and have found a good daughter-in-law." I'm looking for one like this too. Look at our family, there are few men, just Wen Hao. The sisters are all good. The third sister is Mrs. Shizi, and the two sisters are favored in the palace, and they have all been sealed as concubines. In the future, there will be sisters to take care of. Can anything still be unsmooth? It's just a daughter-in-law who can take charge of the house. I don't look at the door, I only look at the talent. lest you find a big family to come out, but you don't have any ability at all. If you can't even see your own yard, then it's troublesome. ”
The eldest lady's face turned pale with anger, and she was about to stand up and make it clear to the second lady, but the old lady Li said with a heavy face: "Okay, on the big day, don't quarrel." The second one, you don't have to say a word. If you want to take care of your family, you must first take care of Wenjin's affairs. Her sisters are all angry, to be princesses, to be concubines. I don't have to worry about it at home, I fight for the family, and even the emperor praises our Chen family's daughter for being good. But what's going on with her, she ran to her mother's house twice in three days, not angry with her husband. It's just angry with the concubines. Where does this look like a girl from a big family? ”
Wen Jin burst into tears angrily: "Grandmother, why do you still blame me, I am already very wronged, it is all the people in their family who are not good, and they have wronged their granddaughter, you don't say that you are angry for me, and you still talk about me like this." ”
The second lady hurriedly stood up with her hands tied up and said, "Mother said yes." I've been talking about her for the past two days. But she has a big temper, and she just doesn't listen to persuasion, which is giving me a headache. ”
The old lady Li snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, if you don't listen to persuasion, don't go back to your parents' house if you don't listen to persuasion, the door of the Chen family will not be open for you again." Young. Just knowing that you are jealous, why can't you think about the right thing, hurry up and add a man and a half woman to their family, and see if anyone dares to say that you, their family has eaten leopard gall. Our Chen family is a family, where can they be compared to such a small marquis. There are three Niangniang in our palace alone. Your eldest sister is still a princess. But what if our family is strong? If you don't have an heir, our family won't be able to speak. It's really confusing. ”
Wen Jin said: "Don't I want an heir? But where can I say anything about this matter, this is God's will. ”
The old lady was very happy to come to the door, and she was very disappointed for Wen Jin, and said, "Okay, don't wipe your tears here, don't be unlucky, hurry up and pack your things and go back to your husband's house." The second family, if I hear that she is still at home at night, you can wait for the door-to-door law. In addition, she will not be allowed to visit the house for the next three months. ”
Wen Jin couldn't hold back her crying anymore, and the second lady couldn't stand still and hurriedly took Wen Jin out.
The eldest lady smiled very happily.
Bai Shi and Wen Hui smiled coldly and ignored them.
Back home, Bai said to Wen Hui: "Pity your second aunt, you have to be strong all your life, first the husband is not angry, and he lost his official position, and then his daughter is not angry." It's just that the concubine she doesn't value is angry. It's a pity that I didn't see Aunt Sun today, maybe Aunt Sun has become arrogant because her daughter has become a concubine in the past two days, and she has made trouble with her. Look at her haggard face, where is there still the majestic appearance of being a family member before. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I get angry when I think of what she did to our family, and I don't want to recognize this relative." ”
Bai said: "Hey, in fact, these things are also common in the mansion gate. I've seen it now, and I'm happy to see that the three of you brothers and sisters are so competitive and healthy. It's just that your second brother won't be back until a few days later, and he could have done it earlier, so he made a detour to visit your father. Also, it's best for your eldest brother to have a child as soon as possible, and your second brother as soon as possible to have a daughter-in-law. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled: "Mother, you really have a lot of wishes, how old is the second brother this year?" Where is the wife? It's better to wait another two years. It's better to marry someone like your sister-in-law. ”
Bai said: "That's right, the words that your second aunt said today are actually very reasonable, don't ask for a family, only for talents." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled, in this regard, her mother is the wisest.
By the time this matter reached the Northwest Army, it was already May weather. But it's still cold here. In the big tent, Zhongyi and Justice were talking to their two sons. "I have received a letter from your mother. The letter was sent in March. Three letters arrived. The first one says, "Your eldest sister has gone." ”
After speaking, the tiger eyes of the loyal and righteous man were full of tears. Zhao Chongli, the son of the Zhao family, the son of Zhongyi, immediately turned red: "Impossible, how can it be?" The eldest sister has always been in good health, and she rarely even gets sick, so how could she go? ”
The Loyal and Righteous Father handed the letter to the prince.
Shizi is busy looking. Zhao Chongyi has no feelings for these half-siblings, but he and his father have always had a good relationship, and when he saw his father's sad appearance, he was also a little sad, so he said, "Father, what's the matter?" ”
Zhongyi Gong knew that this second son would not read the letter written by his mother-in-law, so he said to him: "First, your mother-in-law said that your eldest sister died violently. Your eldest sister and second sister went to attend the spring banquet of the county lord Shuyuan, and your eldest sister was talented and was elected to the palace. Just when the family was happy, he suddenly died violently. The second letter said that your mother-in-law found the murderer of your eldest sister, who was the granddaughter of Tian Shangshu, and she was poisoned because she was jealous that your eldest sister could enter the palace. However, the emperor has already punished the Tian family, not only beheading Tian Shangshu's granddaughter. The Tian family was beheaded, and even the servants were not spared, only Tian Shangshu was old, and the emperor gave him exile for the sake of some credit. The third letter said that the emperor was kind to our family, posthumously named your eldest sister a concubine, elected your second sister to the palace, and named Chonghua. ”
Zhongyigong has always spoken concisely, which is also a habit of many years of military career. But Zhao Chongyi still heard a strong sadness from it, and he didn't feel happy about his daughter's gift and entering the palace as a chonghua.
Zhao Chongyi said: "Yuman and Yuwen have liked the prosperity of the capital and the magnificence of the palace since they were children, and they will be happy for a long time every time they enter the palace with Chaohe. The friends who come and go are also noble girls in the capital, although Yuman went a little early, but Yuwen got what she wanted, which is also a good thing. Besides, the royal family can be gracious to our Zhao family, we should be grateful, this is also the emperor's attention to the war in the northwest. ”
Zhao Chongli, the prince of the world, had already read the letter, his eyes were red, these two sisters were his mother's compatriots, and he was naturally heartbroken, and said, "It's really cheap for the Tian family." Why is this granddaughter of the Tian family so vicious, and the sisters are too simple-minded, they are deceived so easily, and they can be poisoned in their own families, really, hey, wronged. ”
Zhao Chongyi said in his heart: Those two stupid hats, in addition to loving prosperity, like glory and wealth, they have always been arrogant to people, do not cultivate morality, and it is strange if nothing happens. It's just that the second fool has entered the palace, don't cause anything in the palace, and it will affect the family.
Zhongyigong said: "Your eldest sister's matter has made me sad, and now your second sister has entered the palace again, they have been dressed and eaten since childhood, and have not been wronged, and your mother is a little biased, so this temperament is a little impatient, I am afraid that she will enter the palace, not only will it not be beneficial, but she will not say anything when she is angry, don't cause anything, not only to harm yourself, but also to harm the family." ”
Zhao Chongyi said in his heart, father, you finally got to the point.
Zhao Chongli said: "Then what should I do, maybe we have already entered the palace at this time, and we have no way." Only resigned to fate. ”
Zhongyi Gong sighed heavily and said: "Your mother is good at everything, but she neglects to discipline her daughter, what should she do if she harms others and herself?" Hey, pity your eldest sister's flower-like age, it's also my retribution, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person. ”
After speaking, a line of tears flowed from the tiger's eyes. Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "Father, please mourn, everyone has their own life, and my father still has to lead the army to fight, so I can't be distracted by this child's feelings." ”
Zhongyigong nodded.
Zhao Chongli said: "Poor mother, this son must have hit her very hard, there is not even an adult man in the family, how can this be done?" I think it's better to let Chongyi go back to the capital and have a look, or let my daughter-in-law go back to accompany her mother, okay? ”
Zhongyi Gong thought about it seriously.
Zhao Chongyi was frightened, if he went back to live in a house with his mother-in-law, it would not be against the sky. He didn't want to. Zhao Chongyi said: "The child still has to go into battle to fight, how can he stay in the inner house." Why don't you let your sister-in-law go back and help your mother? ”
