Chapter 41: Inheritance
Chen Yuanru also smiled and said, "Your daughter-in-law is capable, that is known to the whole Great Chu." How many can be compared? ”
Chen Yuanfang also smiled and said: "Yes, Jun's daughter-in-law, Lin's daughter-in-law, even the emperor appreciates it." In the past few years, she has done good results overseas, and she is a good daughter-in-law of our Chen family. ”
Bai's face was full of pride.
Mrs. Li was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
How did it become a scene praising Bai's daughter-in-law?
Mrs. Li endured her anger and turned back to the topic and said: "Although Qi's daughters-in-law are also capable and will definitely be able to assist my sister-in-law in taking care of the housework, however, I have been in charge for so many years, and I have never made a mistake, I am afraid that they will suddenly take over, and if they can't manage it well, the loss of money is a trivial matter, and if it endangers the reputation of our Chen family, it will be a bad thing for all of our Chen family and the Chen family to marry a daughter." ”
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Wang was immediately furious, but Mrs. Li, including Chen Yuanru and Chen Yuanfang, all frowned, this is also the truth, and these foreign daughters also hope that the Chen family will get better and better, so naturally they don't want their mother's family to make mistakes.
Mrs. Li said at this time: "The second family's consideration is also that our Chen family has appeared two generations of queens, and none of the four major families have ever had it. It is precisely because we are vigorous now that more people are staring at us, waiting to see us go wrong. At this time, we can't afford to make mistakes. Otherwise, the queen mother in the palace and the queen mother of Nanyang will be humiliated. ”
This was right, and even Chen Yuanheng couldn't help but nod.
I have to say that after all, Mrs. Li has been a family wife for many years, and this overall view is still very correct.
Mrs. Li heard this. But I was happy, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud. Chen Yuanfeng frowned, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Second brother and sister, you must be in charge of this family, okay?" You've been a housekeeper for decades, so it's okay to be in charge? ”
Bai nodded with satisfaction, Mrs. Wang has never spoken to the point in her life, and this critical time has finally come to the point.
Mrs. Li was reluctant when she heard this, she said, "I have been in charge of the housekeeper for decades. Not to mention how good the management is. At least nothing went wrong. ”
Mrs. Wang sneered: "Are you in good hands?" Not to mention anything else, if you look at the daughter of our Chen family, she is praised wherever she goes. First there is the Queen Mother, needless to say. He is the first virtuous person. The second sister is also an expert housekeeper. In the whole capital, it is the head of the ladies class. The third sister has served the eldest princess for many years. It was praised by the previous emperors. to the girls of the next life. The queen mother is also famous, and the county lord of Wenhui in the third room was praised by the emperor and the emperor. ”
"We also have a former prince Liangdi in the big house, although the first prince was deposed. Now that she has been released again, she is just a concubine, but Wen Yuan's crown prince Liangdi's grade has not been taken away, and the emperor has named her wife. Not to mention that there is also a noble concubine Niangniang, a lady concubine Niangniang, praying for the blessing of the former emperor, and now she has been crowned a national teacher. ”
"However, there is only one of your daughters, Chen Wenjin, who had trouble with her husband's family for three days before she left in the capital, and the whole capital knew that she finally embarked on the road of harmony, which is really something that our Chen family's daughter has never had. Do you dare to say that your housekeeper is in good hands? ”
Mrs. Li trembled with anger. In her life, she is most concerned about her only biological daughter Chen Wenjin, but what Mrs. Wang said is the truth and cannot refute it.
In fact, Chen Yuanru and Chen Yuanfang who were present secretly agreed with this. But these words should not be said in the open.
Chen Yuanru said: "Sister-in-law, we are talking about the separation of the family, why are you talking about this? ”
Mrs. Wang was still a little jealous of this second sister, and she didn't dare to say anything after hearing this, but her unhappy look was very obvious.
Mrs. Li took a deep breath and said, "Wen Jin was unlucky to marry someone like that before. Wen Jin and Li were also presided over by God when he was alive. It is also for the sake of the honor of the family. Now Wenjin is living very well in the clan land and is very praised by the clansmen. Wen Jin's son-in-law is good, his character and ability are all first-class. ”
"We are thinking that bringing their husband and wife to the capital can also be a great help for our Chen family."
Bai Shi sneered, this is the drama meat.
As soon as Mrs. Li heard it: "The second family, your idea is right, it's good for Wen Jin and his wife to come back." ”
Mrs. Li suddenly smiled, and Mrs. Wang became even more angry.
Seeing that Mrs. Li had the upper hand, Bai said with a smile: "The second sister-in-law has been a housekeeper for so many years, and she has worked hard without merit, and she is indeed managing it well." It's just that a person's energy is limited, and the second sister-in-law is older, so I don't care so much anymore, and I hand it over to my daughters-in-law, let alone the second sister-in-law? When the second sister-in-law is even less energetic after two years, she thinks about cultivating her daughters-in-law, it may be a little late at that time, right? ”
"What's more, this family will be handed over to the next generation after all. Is the second sister-in-law going to hand over this family to Wen Hao's daughter-in-law in the future? ”
As soon as he said this, everyone woke up. This home will eventually be handed over. Among the daughters-in-law of the next generation, the two of the three rooms are good, and they are both grandchildren, but the three rooms have long been separated, and they will not come back to wade into this troubled water, and they are not even willing to ask for family property.
Except for the two in the three-room family, three of the remaining four daughters-in-law are concubines. This includes the second room Chen Wenhao. Could it be that in the end, this Chen family will be handed over to Chen Wenhao and his wife.
At this time, others didn't say it first, and Mrs. Li was the first to be unwilling. She loves her second son and dotes on the second lady of her niece, but Chen Wenhao is not the daughter of her niece, but only a dowry maid of the Li family, which is only recorded in the name of the second lady. For Mrs. Li, who values orthodoxy, she hasn't even paid much attention to this grandson.
This home can only be handed over to Chen Wenqi and his wife. Chen Wenqi is the eldest son of the long house, and he is a descendant. He has two bloodlines. Although her mother, Mrs. Wang, is not in tune, she is also the daughter of the Wang family. Chen Wenqi is also the queen's brother. His own ability is also outstanding, and he is a leader in the next generation, and he is a leader among the nobles in the capital.
Chen Wenqi's wife is the daughter of the Bai family and the cousin of the current concubine. also gave birth to two sons and a daughter to the Chen family, and his position is stable. The housekeeper is outstanding. In the current circle of ladies in the capital, they are also celebrities, and their status, temperament, demeanor, ability and knowledge are all first-class.
Could it be that the Chen family wants to put such a grandson, and the granddaughter-in-law doesn't want it, so she wants the concubine born by the girl?
This is absolutely unacceptable to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li said: "What the third family said is right. This home will definitely be handed over to Wen Qi and his wife in the future. This was decided when the old lady was alive. That's what I mean. My health is not good, while I am clear now, I want to explain to you first, this family must be handed over to Wenqi and his wife in the future, do you remember? ”
When Mrs. Li said this, she said it very seriously.
This is a major matter related to the inheritance of the family, and everyone present stood up, lowered their hands and replied solemnly: "The son (daughter-in-law, daughter) remembers." ”
Old Madam Li nodded.
Chen Yuanfeng and the others sat down.
The old lady must be so in tune. This is basically a matter of decision. Since the home is to be handed over to Chen Wenqi and his wife. Then at this stage of transition, it is impossible for Mrs. Li to take over, naturally it is Chen Wenqi's mother, Mrs. Wang, to manage it.
Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Li proudly.
Mrs. Li secretly hated in her heart, she would be strong for a lifetime in her life, but she didn't have a good stomach and didn't give birth to a son. Only then did he lose to Mrs. Wang in the end. Mrs. Wang has been confused all her life, everyone knows that she has no ability to manage this family, but who has let the family have a good son and daughter. The daughter is the queen. As for the son, he is also outstanding, and he has made a contribution in Nanyang and comes back, who can say nothing?
Besides, Mrs. Wang is incapable, but Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Bai family, and her status is no worse than herself. Moreover, among the families, the Wang family and the Li family have long declined, and the Chen family and the Bai family are at their peak, so it is not easy for Mrs. Li to compete with the later generation of Bai Yuying. I can't fight for myself, and Wen Hao's wife can't fight for it, she is just the daughter of an ordinary official eunuch, how can she be compared with a daughter of a family like Tianhuang nobles?
However, Mrs. Li was not willing to be defeated like this, she was making a final effort. She struggled to make her voice sound light: "The most important thing in a family is inheritance. Mother was right. Wen Qi and his wife are the eldest of their generation and have outstanding abilities. Xiaobai's family is even smarter, but our family has a big business, and this is not something that can be started in a day or two. Or should I teach for a few more years? ”
This statement is acceptable to everyone. Old Madam Li also nodded. is Chen Yuanru, Chen Yuanfang also feels that this is a pertinent approach, which is relatively stable.
Chen Yuanru even said: "In this way, the second brother and sister will have to work hard for a few years." However, Xiaobai's is smart and will definitely be able to get started quickly. If you teach like this, the second brother and his family really can't move out, or it's inconvenient. ”
Old Madam Li nodded.
Chen Yuanfang was about to nod and speak, when suddenly his heart suddenly burst, thinking that Bai's performance today was very abnormal, how could she, a third-room lady who did not participate in the competition, get involved in the battle between the eldest and the second? Still targeting Mrs. Li everywhere and helping Mrs. Wang?
Chen Yuanfang and Mrs. Bai in the third room got closer, so they naturally knew the grievances between Mrs. Li and Mrs. Bai back then. However, I also know that the relationship between Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang is also average, how can she help Mrs. Wang so much?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuanfang couldn't help but peek at Mama Yu, who was doing it next to her and had not spoken. (To be continued......)
