Chapter 254: A Bright Future
Wan Meizhen and Wen Hui came to Wen Hui's room together, Wen Hui asked Qiu Bi to serve a cup of fragrant tea to her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, how is it?" Thank me, I first rescued you from the busy housework, and then said that my mother asked you to go to Shanghai City with us, how can you thank me? ”
Wan Meizhen was a little shy, Wen Hui looked at it and laughed, no matter how generous a person is, the newlywed period is so shy. Wen Hui saw that the ridicule was almost over, so she said: "Okay, sister-in-law just remember it in her heart, and give me the benefits next time." I'm coming to you today to talk about serious business. About our Treasure Mirror Workshop. ”
As soon as Wan Meizhen talked about business, she put aside her shyness and said, "Ah, about our treasure mirror workshop, I have long wanted to talk to you." But I didn't bring the ledger with me at this time, or should I let Chunguang go back and get it? ”
Wen Hui looked up at Meizhen's maids, and there were two of them, both of whom had long eyebrows and clear eyes, and said, "You maids are very good, I know a Chunzhi, I didn't follow you today?" What's the name of these two? ”
Meizhen smiled and said, "I brought four first-class dowry maids, and the rest have a few second-class and third-class ones." These four first-class names are Chunguang, Chunhong, Chunshui, and Chunzhi, all of which followed me when I was a child. They all know the words, they can settle accounts, and one of them is Chunguang, the other is Chunhong, and the spring branches and spring water are cleaning up my things in my yard. ”
After Meizhen finished speaking, Chunguang and Chunhong hurriedly stepped forward to greet Wen Hui. Wen Hui nodded with a smile and said: "Sister-in-law, these people are all good, they are very smart, and I don't know who will be cheaper in the future, I think they are not young anymore." In two years, my sister-in-law will release them, right? Then you really want to train a few capable people from now on, those second-class maids have to be trained now. ”
Mi-jin frowned slightly when she heard this. smiled and said: "I have grown up together since childhood, I am really like sisters, and I can't trust them the most, I want to keep it for your eldest brother in the future." Anyway, they will be the people in my house when the time comes, and they will be able to help me take care of things. I didn't want to train a little girl. ”
Wen Hui glanced at Meizhen in surprise and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard you right, right?" Are you going to give them to the eldest brother as a concubine? ”
After Wen Hui asked, she also deliberately looked at Chunguang, Chunhong glanced at Chunguang, Chunguang, Chunhong blushed with shame. Keep your head down. Wen Hui was a little disliked.
The corners of Meizhen's mouth showed a hint of bitterness and said, "Yes, but, sister, I know the rules, and I must keep the first position for Biwen." After all, she has served your eldest brother since she was a child, so I have to respect her. ”
Wen Hui frowned: "Sister-in-law, don't you know?" Our family is famous for not having concubines, and I thought the whole Huzhou Province knew about it. How could you not know? ”
Meizhen said: "I've heard before that my father-in-law doesn't have a concubine, ah? Younger sister. What do you mean? Are you saying that we don't have concubines in our family? Didn't you say that the father-in-law didn't have a concubine? ”
Wen Hui laughed: "You, sister-in-law, do you know?" You don't understand that you are lucky to marry into our family, but it doesn't mean that my brother is excellent, nor does it mean that our family is rich and powerful. Rather, it is said that our family is not allowed to have concubines who have intercourse. Even the eldest brother is also clean and self-loving. After coming to Jiangnan, my mother was afraid that our brothers and sisters would be wronged, so she sent four of the big girls next to her, Biwen took care of the eldest brother, Bishui took care of the second brother, and I was younger, so I sent two Feiguang and Yinhong. Sister Biwen has served her eldest brother for so many years, and her eldest brother has always respected her, after all, it is the person next to our mother. As for the rest, that's absolutely nothing. Sister Biwen could have married a long time ago, my mother had already given her a slave excuse, and she was married. It's just that Sister Biwen said that the sister-in-law has not married in yet, and the eldest brother has no one to take care of, so she will stay for a while longer, and when the sister-in-law comes and the affairs are cleared out, she will leave the cabinet. When the time comes, sister-in-law, you will have to come up with a dowry reward. ”
At these words, Meizhen's master and servant who listened to them were dumbfounded, especially Chunguang and Chunhong, who couldn't be shy, and their eyes lit up. The current people don't want to marry out and live a monogamous life, but they have followed the girls since they were children, and they understand that their fate is to be concubines. I have lived in Wanjia for so many years, and I have seen too many wives and concubines fighting in Wanjia, and the tragic fate of those concubines, I don't know how much I have watched, and it is impossible to say that I am not afraid. But it's useless to be afraid, your fate is like this, you have no choice but to accept your fate. Now I hear that the Chen Mansion is not like this, the maid can still marry and redeem herself, which is really equivalent to suddenly opening a channel for them, a channel to happiness, can this not make people happy?
After Meizhen got married, she found that although her husband was affectionate and gentle and considerate to her, he looked at her eldest girl Biwen differently, and he didn't treat a maid at all. Biwen is also very capable, although he is polite to himself for several weeks, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has never taken the initiative to stammer. Moreover, the things in the yard, Chen Wenjun's trivial matters in life are all Biwen's ideas, which is more powerful than her main room. Meizhen looked at it and guessed that this Biwen must be Wen Jun's room, and because she has been following Wen Jun for a long time, she already has the capital to suppress the main room. This is normal in a large family. Every wife who marries has to fight with her husband's personal maid for a while, some of which are overwhelmed by the east wind, and some by the west wind.
In this regard, although Meizhen is bitter in her heart, she is also from a big family, she has seen a lot since she was a child, and she has been prepared for a long time, and now that she has just married in, she must be patient in everything, first press still, and then make plans when she finds out the situation of this family. If this Biwen is an interesting person, can recognize her own position, and respect her own main room, she doesn't mind giving her the identity of a concubine, and can even give her the identity of a big aunt, if she is not interested and is ready to challenge herself, then she has to prepare a way to manipulate her. Meizhen, who was born in a family, has no shortage of means in this regard.
But I never thought that today, my sister-in-law Wen Hui actually told herself that this Biwen had already been married, so I understood, no wonder Biwen was neither humble nor arrogant, and she didn't go on the pole to tie herself in the main room. Because the identity of the people is different, first, the person is the mother-in-law's personal big girl, according to the rules of the big family, the big girl around the elders should be especially respected as the younger generation. Therefore, it should not be people who talk to themselves, but they should be polite to others. Second, Biwen is already a free person, and he is not a slave of their family, and he is still here, which is to look at love, help, which is equivalent to a guest, is to help, and that family can't even stumble on himself. Instead, I should thank her. Thinking of this, Meizhen thought about her words and deeds in the past few days, although she didn't do anything to Biwen, but she didn't respect it inside, it was really a shame.
Wen Hui saw that Meizhen suddenly blushed, and knew that Meizhen regretted that she shouldn't suspect Biwen. smiled and said, "I don't blame you for this, it's really our family's situation is too special." Ordinary people overcharge three or five buckets and take a concubine, and our family from the old master to the young master, there is no concubine in the room. Moreover, our mother also stipulated to the brothers that if they dared to get through the concubines and the like, those vixens would be killed, needless to say, and the brothers would also be punished heavily. Hee-hee, according to my mother's original words, my legs have to be discounted. Hahaha, so, sister-in-law, you definitely don't have to fight with the concubine in our family. ”
After saying this, Wen Hui deliberately glanced at Meizhen's two maids, although it was only a glance, but her eyes were sharp, and Chunguang and Chunhong were shocked by the look.
Meizhen has no words, this news is too exciting, she can't digest it at once, this is preparing to subvert her whole life. How good is this, originally, Biwen was not Wen Jun's Tongfang has surprised her, and now she is told that if in the future, the husband changes his mind and loves the concubine, then it doesn't matter, she doesn't need to come forward, and the mother-in-law will solve it directly, and besides, you listen to this method, and kill it directly. As the wife of the main room, she can use all means to torture the concubines openly and secretly, but she didn't make a mistake and beat them to death, such a thing still can't be done, this will be crowned with jealousy, that is a crime that can be divorced, one of the seven. But if the mother-in-law makes a move, there is no problem at all, as a mother, it is easy to kill a son's concubine, let alone beat her son's concubine, even the wife of the main room who beats her son. How good is this, you don't have to offend your husband, you don't have to bear the charge, and your mother-in-law will solve it directly, what a beautiful prospect this is. Even if it is so, the mother-in-law still has to punish her son, which is really rare. Isn't this equivalent to double insurance for your future and destiny?
Meizhen couldn't digest it for a while, and only then said, "However, what if the daughter-in-law is not pregnant, or has not given birth to a son?" ”
In fact, the legitimacy of concubines is carried out in the name of continuing the heirs, after all, unfilial piety is the greatest. Wen Hui said with a smile: "This, my mother has already thought about it, if she doesn't give birth to a son, then she will raise a relative, it's not a big deal, there are so many people in our Chen family, are you afraid that you won't have a child to raise?" ”
Meizhen was dumbfounded, is this okay? Even Chunguang and Chunhong were stunned, and there are such family rules? And such a family? It's really weird.
