The inner room was quiet, Qi sat there embroidering, embroidering for her unborn child, Qi saw that her daughter wanted to talk and rest, and felt a little strange in her heart, Yutan has always been simple, so she asked her, "Yutan, what else do you want to say?" ”

Yutan hesitated for a long time, and she didn't know whether to say it or not, she couldn't guess her mother's attitude, she didn't want to hurt Yuxin, but she faintly felt in her heart that she couldn't let Yuxin go, if she let Yuxin mess around, she might ruin the reputation of a family girl.

"Mother, why did the eldest aunt break up with our family? Sister Yuxin ignored me for a long time. ”

Yutan pretended to have no intention, but where could the little girl's mind hide from Qi's family, Qi's family didn't speak for a long time, looking at the flames of the candles, "What gossip did you hear?" ”

Yutan bit her lip and didn't look at her, Qi also knew her daughter's stubbornness, if she didn't want to say that no one would ask, now that her daughter is older, and now she is in contact with the housework, there are some things that should be let her know.

Qi said slowly, "Your aunt is a famous lady of Mingli, we also met when we were in the boudoir, when I heard that I was going to be a concubine with her, I was secretly happy in my heart, as a result, she did not hesitate to make a fuss with this house, and your sister Yuxin, this time she refused to come over to help this little favor, in the final analysis, it is also from the heart and our house, it is no wonder, the title should have been her family, and they should have hatred in their hearts." ”

After speaking, he sighed, and looked a little disheartened.

"Mother," Yutan couldn't help but be a little angry, "What does the uncle's accident have to do with our family, and the title must be inherited by someone, is it that my father refuses to take care of them, and the old years are clearly given to her family, and it is not their careful eyes." ”

Qi couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "Who knows, your uncle's death is strange, and Brother Jin'er is unexpectedly bizarre, which makes it difficult not to think about it." ”

Yutan was really surprised, she had long felt that there was something strange here, but she was just a little young lady, she was the only one who could listen to her, not what she said, her mother's words, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Yutan was stunned all of a sudden.

Qi Shi didn't look at his daughter's bleeding face, and said slowly, "My mother doesn't want to follow your grandmother's old path, what kind of ability is it to rub a little child, even if she lets her son take the title and get some more family property, can you be sure?" Your grandmother protects Brother Shen'er's child tightly, as if I can't wait to eat Brother Shen'er, or good, this family property will be given to Brother Shen in the future, my mother only hopes that your two sisters will entrust a good person in the future, and then they will not be like their mothers, and they will be ashamed of their conscience and be this Mrs. Sanpin. ”

Yutan grabbed her mother's hand tightly, her face turned white, "Mother, you mean, uncle......"

Qi sighed and whispered, "After your grandfather died, your uncle forced your grandmother to pray in the family temple, and these past events also have antecedents, even my mother doesn't know much, I can only guess a rough idea, and now that your father has attacked the knight, their family can only be bullied by our family." It's just that I'm always uneasy in my heart, this time I want the big girl over there to be with you, and your grandmother can't say anything, but the big girl refuses again. I thought that the eldest girl was also older, and she should show up to show her face to others, but their family refused to admit this feeling, and it was also because they hated our family deeply. ”

Yutan looked at her mother, she didn't know what to say, her mother's words far exceeded her previous cognition, Qi knew that she was frightened, a little unbearable, but those twists and turns in the door of the house, her daughter was ignorant, she didn't want to hurt people, but she couldn't be harmed.

Qi patted Yutan's hand and comforted, "You are also old now, one day you will have to face a large family by yourself, and you must have a number in your heart." ”

Yutan nodded and said tiredly, "Mother, I'm tired." ”

"Let's rest, these words that my mother said to you, just hide them in your heart, you just need to remember, no matter what happened before, no matter what others were, our mother and daughter can't lose their conscience in anything."

Yutan walked to the door, hesitated for a moment and came back, squatting at her mother's feet, "Mother, what you said is true?" Our family has lost to my aunt's family? ”

Qi didn't speak, just looked at her with heavy eyes, those eyes seemed to hide endless sorrows, Yutan felt extremely uncomfortable, with tears in his eyes, "But grandma has always taught me to be virtuous and virtuous, and to keep the female precepts, what you said is not right." ”

Qi just smiled slightly and touched her head gently, Yutan saw that her mother refused to say anything more, so she had to leave.

Back to the embroidery room to light up the wick, Yutan began to write "The Female Ring" silently, have been written many times, Yutan has never been to the heart, today's mother's true words are like a pot of boiling water, boiling in her heart, rolling, Yutan's face is very calm, no one can see the turbulent waves in her heart.

A neat fly-headed small Kai, Yutan looked at it, folded it and put it in the brocade box, thought about it and put it into the newly obtained red jade exquisite incense beads.

"Cuimo, you send a little maid to send this to my sister Yuxin, just say that this is my new one, give it to Sister Yuxin to enjoy."

Cui Mo agreed to go down and commanded, and Yutan did her best to persuade her, so she didn't know what Sister Yuxin thought.

This night tossed and turned, Yutan thought a lot of things in his heart, and when the day dawned, he was confused, and he was woken up by the maid, and he washed up, and there was already a mother-in-law waiting outside to return to things.

has been housekeeper for several days, gradually handy, some mothers-in-law back and forth, she just verified the approval, the family is now small, but the shelves of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion are here, when there are no dozens of things? Yutan felt that it was not easy for her mother, and she also felt that the house was too luxurious.

The incense and candles, spices, silks, gold, silver and jade alone cost so much every month, not to mention her father's daily expenses, but there was no place for her to say more, she just had to do according to the rules.

Brother Shen came over with the maid early in the morning, Yutan didn't expect Brother Shen to come over to play today, she didn't say anything, let Brother Shen sit, she just had to deal with the mothers-in-law below, Brother Shen didn't make trouble, and played quietly on the side.

After a while, the mother-in-law went, and Yutan asked, "Brother Shen, what are you doing here?" Do you remember those words? ”

Brother Shen nodded, "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. Leap more than the age of adulthood, the law Lu tunes the yang. ”

"You little head really remember." Yutan tested his words again, and the little teacher was also addicted, so he taught a few more sentences of "Thousand Character Essay".

At this time, Momei beside the old lady came over and asked the two sisters and brothers to talk, Yutan went over with Brother Shen, the old lady saw that the sisters and brothers were holding hands, and she was satisfied, and deliberately said to Brother Shen, "Brother Shen, you don't want to come to see grandmother." ”

Brother Shen had already leaned on the old lady's arms and was coquettish, the old lady touched Brother Shen'er's head, asked Yutan about some housework, and said, "Yutan is young, this family is very well managed, and now your mother is worry-free." ”

"It's because I'm your granddaughter, and it's a shame to be able to manage this house if I can't manage it." Yutan smiled coquettishly, and also leaned against the old lady's side, Brother Shen was busy showing his work, "And me, I also helped my sister take care of the house, and I also managed it well." ”

The old lady smiled and hugged Brother Shen in her arms, and held Yutan with the other hand, "Brother Shen, you will report to the mother-in-law who grandmother is learning from." ”

Brother Shen hurriedly jumped to the ground when he heard this, learning the tone of the mother-in-law, "Now you can buy two chickens with a string of money, twenty chickens, ten ducks, one hundred chickens in the small kitchen every day, and fifty catties of pork, ten catties of mutton, five catties of dried seafood scallops, two catties of fungus, a few dried and fresh fruits, and various side dishes, which is equivalent to ...... silver taels per day."

After Brother Shen shook his head and finished speaking, everyone in the room laughed, and the old lady laughed to tears.

Yutan smiled and said, "Grandmother, my younger brother is still quite smart, and his granddaughter taught him a thousand characters, and he can learn it as soon as he learns it." ”

The old lady smiled, "Then our brother Shen will take the exam in the future." He also said to Yutan, "The old lady of Zhang Dutong's family celebrated her birthday, and on that day my grandmother took your sisters over, even your brother too." ”

Yutan agreed, "Then the granddaughter will go and prepare." Just what kind of birthday gift to choose? Not so with this granddaughter. ”

The old lady showed Yutan the proposed gift list, and personally selected her sisters' clothes and jewelry, as well as Brother Shen'er's outfit.

On that day, the old lady took their sisters and Brother Shen to the Zhangdu Tongfu.
