Du Yunqi is the eldest son, and he is not idle when he returns home, Xiao Wan is Du Yunxun's elder, but he is Du Xiang's junior, Du Yunqi is looking for them to keep filial piety, but Du Mansion is the same as before, Du Yunqi returns to the house, and entertaining guests and other things cannot be avoided.

However, he has been in office for many years, and the personnel in Beijing are not as good as Du Yunxun's understanding, Du Yunxun accompanied the eldest brother to entertain the guests, the end of the year is approaching, the number of guests who come to visit and give gifts has increased, and there are many female guests, there was only Fan Anyang in the past, and now there is more Wang Jinyuan, she is the eldest granddaughter-in-law, although her husband is worried, but he is a real seven-grade official, with Du Xiang's father and son, there is no hope of recovering after filial piety, so the female guests who come to the door will inevitably have to slap her more.

At the same time, because Fan Anyang is heavy, not close relatives and friends, she will not meet, for a while, Wang Jinyuan's popularity is above her, Wang Jinyuan coped with it for a few days, really felt tired, and couldn't help but complain to Fan Anyang.

Fan Anyang had a hard pregnancy, and often fell asleep while sitting, and after not sleeping for long, he woke up with cramps in his feet.

When Wang Jinyuan came, she was a little sleepy, and she fell asleep after listening, Wang Jinyuan didn't disturb her or leave, so she sat in the house and watched the account.

Not long after, Fan Anyang woke up, Yanxiang knew that her feet were cramping, and hurriedly sat at her feet to help her massage.

After Fan Anyang relieved his breath, he asked the question that flashed through his mind before he fell asleep, "Why don't you take Nian Nian with you?" ”

In the past few days, Wang Jinyuan has seen guests in the flower hall, so he left Niannian here with her, and the three girls and her aunt and nephew rarely fell in love, and often did their homework together, but the three girls were still young. It's not good to take it to meet guests, but it's not small, when she was in Meizhou, Wang Jinyuan often took her to entertain her women.

Wang Jinyuan shook his head, "I know what you mean, but those people are really annoying, and I don't look at it, how long has my wife passed away, looking at Nian Nianhao, I asked if Nian Nian's family matter has been decided." ”

What's the hurry! Is! Step-grandmother passed away. Remembering them as grandchildren is also to keep filial piety. They yelled and asked Xiao Niannian about the marriage, do you want to do it?

"Don't be angry! They probably just don't have anything to say. ”

Wang Jinyuan said angrily, "You don't know, a lady asked that day." The next day, people kept asking. Later, I heard from my sister-in-law. It is rumored that I can't tolerate my predecessors, and I am anxious to give my stepdaughter a kiss despite the fact that my step-mother-in-law has just passed away. As soon as she is filial, I want to marry her. ”

What she was really angry about was this, those people didn't know anything, they were talking nonsense outside, if they let Niannian know and take the rumors seriously, how could it be good?

"Do you think Nian Nian is a stupid child?" So tired, Fan Anyang yawned and asked.

"Niannian is very smart." Wang Jinyuan nodded.

Fan Anyang looked at her helplessly, "Since you know that she is very smart, why are you still worried that she will take the rumors seriously?" ”

"Oops! You don't understand, the smarter the child, the more sentimental it is, and it's easy to get into the horns! We don't think it's anything, but it probably matters to her! Wang Jinyuan sighed, "Last time, the brother-in-law of the Meizhou prefect took a fancy to her and made a fuss, and the stupid boy was frightened and told me that as long as it can keep us safe, her father's career will be smooth, and she will let her marry, she doesn't matter." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the people who said it were distressed, but even the people who listened to it felt distressed.

"I told her, don't worry, but that kid just won't listen!" Wang Jinyuan felt distressed, and always felt that Xiao Niannian would not believe what she said, because she was not her mother, if she was, Niannian would definitely believe it!

But she didn't know that even if Gao Mingting was alive, Xiao Niannian would not trust her wholeheartedly, after all, her mother had never let her trust her wholeheartedly.

Fan Anyang saw that Wang Jinyuan was suddenly depressed, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only change the topic, "Speaking of which, Niannian will be in time in a few years, have you and your eldest brother thought about choosing what kind of son-in-law for her?" ”

"It hurts her." Wang Jinyuan rushed out, and then laughed wryly, "I think so, but I can't be the master of her marriage, after all, I'm just a stepmother!" ”

"Honestly, I think you're doing so much better than her own mother!" Fan Anyang whispered in her ear, Wang Jinyuan's eyelashes blinked, as if he was holding back tears.

"I know, but I'm afraid I'm not good enough." Between stepmother and mother-in-law, after all, there is a gap.

Fan Anyang sighed, there are incompetent mothers in this world, there are also vicious stepmothers, of course, there are mothers who dedicate their lives to their children without regrets, and kind-hearted stepmothers.

What the mother does to the child, no one will say anything, tolerant of the child, people will say that the mother is really loving, strict with the child, people will say that the stick is filial piety, but for the stepmother, the world always magnified the inspection, the child is lenient, people will say whether it is a killing, strict with the child, people will say that it is not born by themselves, and they can't wait for others to die.

Stepfamilies like the big and small Wan clans can't wait for the previous sons to die so that they can make way for their children, and there are also children like Wang Jinyuan who love children, regardless of whether they are biological or not.

Fan Anyang patted Wang Jinyuan's hand, "Let's Niannian is a smart and sensible child, I think only by letting her face those ladies and grandmothers in person can she learn how to judge what those people say, whether it is true or false, whether it is really for her good, or chewing the root of her tongue for fear that the world will not be chaotic." ”

Wang Jinyuan thought about it for a while and agreed to Fan Anyang's proposal, from tomorrow onwards, let's take Xiao Niannian to entertain guests!

After Wang Jinyuan left, Nian Nian came out of the warm pavilion, "Second aunt." ”

"Did you hear what we said just now?"

"Hmm." Xiao Niannian was a little depressed. Fan Anyang reached out and touched her head, "Don't blame your mother, she is a stepmother, no matter what she does, there are always a bunch of people waiting to pull her pigtails, especially your aunts and cousins, if they can't marry your father, they will withdraw their anger on your mother's head." ”

Xiao Niannian was very impressed by this, her grandmother and great-grandmother were very unhappy about this, and the second aunt often asked her to go to the Gao family to live, so as to accompany the ancestors of the Gao family, but later she knew that her aunts and cousins had wronged her, so she no longer let her go to the Gao family to live.

"Your mother died early, she didn't want to be alone, she just couldn't escape the accident, you and Xiaobao are still young, your father remarried, not your mother will be someone else, but your great-grandfather thinks that your mother has a straightforward temperament, not the kind of person who likes to play tricks, and is his own relative, who knows the roots, so he will hire her as a steproom for your father."

Xiao Niannian was in Fan Anyang's arms, feeling extremely relieved, just like when she was a child, she smiled sweetly, "I know, my mother is very good to me, I often think that even if I am my own mother, I will not be as good as she is to me." ”

Her mother gave her life, and at the same time her mother also disliked that she was not a son, although her mother never said it, but the child is sensitive, how can she not feel it?

"Your mother! She's also a miserable one. Fan Anyang told her about the past of the Gao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's fighting, "The ancestor was kind-hearted at the beginning, knowing that your great-grandmother wanted to pinch your grandmother, so he forcibly left your mother in Beijing and separated their mother and daughter, and the ancestor protected your mother by his side, but after all, he was old and couldn't do it, so he let the nurse take advantage of the loophole." ”

Those past events, Xiao Niannian knows a little bit, but because of Wang Jinyuan, I am afraid that she will have doubts, so she has never asked openly, about the past of her mother, this is the first time to know completely, it turns out that her mother was separated from her mother when she was a child, although her grandmother wanted to take her daughter back, but her maternal great-grandmother refused to let go, and the ancestor who kindly protected her mother was old and weak, and failed to notice that the next person was bad.

"That's why the second aunt said that you should inspect the people waiting from time to time?"

Seeing that she still remembered what she had said, Fan Anyang nodded with satisfaction, "Yes!" At the beginning, I would pick that nurse, it must be because she is honest and reassuring, so that she will entrust your mother to her, but the human heart is elusive, that nurse is entrusted by the mother, what does she say that the little master believes, the authority she holds is getting bigger and bigger, and her heart is not getting bigger and bigger, so it's strange! ”

Xiao Niannian thought for a while, and then said, "When we were in Meizhou, there was originally a cook in the county government, when we first went, the dishes she cooked were delicious, and the accounts were very clear. ”

She paused, as if she was thinking about how to go on and said, "Later, when my mother was pregnant with Xiaobei, her spirit was not good and her complexion was getting worse and worse, and the doctor who asked her mother for her pulse said that she should be careful about what her mother eats, and also opened a list for us, saying that the dishes on the list are best not to eat them." ”

Fan Anyang never knew about this, and frowned when he heard it, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, the grandmother next to my mother said that the cook is old, how can she not know that there are pregnant people, those dishes cannot be touched, and the dishes that cannot be touched will be mixed with other dishes, so that people can't see it, there must be ghosts." This incident is probably the first time that Xiao Niannian has seen the means of an inner house woman in her life.

Tearing the cold crab meat into pieces and mixing it in the shark fin soup, Wang Jinyuan and the people waiting around him were unaware, until Wang Jinyuan became weaker and weaker, and the doctor found out the problem after careful investigation, but he was an outsider, and he couldn't say it too clearly.

"Who bought the cook to do this kind of thing?"

Xiao Niannian lowered her head, "It's the sister of the prefect's wife." ”

That woman's hands are so long! Fortunately, the woman's backer had fallen.

He Zhang's family sat aside, and shook his head after hearing this, just because he wanted to marry the eldest lady and couldn't get it, so he murdered people like this? "Was the cook bribed?"

"Yes! I heard that the prefect's wife promised her, and when the matter was completed, she would help her son enter Guangling College to study. ”

The cook was hired by the previous county order, looking at the majesty of those officials, very envious, the master of the school near the county government said that her son is very good at reading, is a talent, she thought about making her son go to the next level, but she is a cook, her husband died early, and it is already difficult for her son to enter the county school, and she does not want the prefect's wife to be willing to sponsor her son to enter Guangling College, she naturally obeys the prefect's wife.

I never thought that the so-called success was the death of the county lady.

After the matter was revealed, the cook intended to murder the court and ordered the woman to go to prison, the patriarch of the husband's family divorced her for her in-laws, and her son was also taken away by her grandparents. (To be continued.) )
