Chapter Twenty-Four: Every Family Has a Difficult Sutra

Everyone laughed around Ji Tong for a while. The old lady Li said: "There are too many people here, so let's ask their little sisters to go to the side room next to them to chat, and we will talk here." ”

Everyone should go, Bai Yuying took a group of little sisters into the side room, and when they were all gone, the old lady said to Chen Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, how is your mother-in-law's body?" I looked at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, it seems that my body is very tough? ”

Chen Yuanfang frowned and said: "Hey, it's good to look at, in fact, the foundation has long been gone, the last illness was very dangerous, if it weren't for the precious herbs sent by the third brother and sister, maybe it wouldn't work." I haven't thanked my third siblings yet. ”

As he spoke, he got up and thanked him. The third lady Bai hurriedly stopped and said, "Third sister, don't be like this, what is this worth?" Isn't it just a little bit of medicinal herb? Do you still need it at home? If you want, I've got more there, and I've collected a lot, so just ask. ”

Chen Yuanfang said apologetically: "It's just what you need, you can't even buy it in the capital, even if there are one or two families occasionally, and they are not as good as the third brother and sister." This kind of medicinal herb produced in the northwest, how can the third brother and sister have such a good one? ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "The third sister needs me to go back and ask someone to send it over, and the third sister can take it away today." Speaking of which, it is still my lord in Deqing when the trade fair, every year there are people from all over the world with rare treasures, local specialties to trade, I buy some precious, uncommon medicinal materials every year, this time is just to use. ”

Li looked at it and was happy, what this old lady said was really reasonable, these three rooms have grown in, they have a future, and they can help their daughters, it seems that they really want to take advantage of the three rooms.

Chen Yuanfang said: "Then thank you to the third brother and sister, I will be cheeky to go." ”

The old lady Li said: "I am happy to see that you are kind, and it is also a blessing for our Chen family to be able to help the eldest princess." Ay. The eldest princess is the most popular in the clan, and is deeply trusted by the first emperor, the current emperor, and the two emperors. The sons of the family are fighting again, even if they are old at this age, they will not escape this birth, old age, sickness and death. ”

Chen Yuanru hurriedly interrupted when he heard this: "Third sister, this eldest princess is not in good health, you have to prepare early, why don't you find a daughter-in-law for Jingye?" ”

The eldest lady Wang said: "Third sister, I heard that Nanzhen has already settled on someone, right? ”

Chen Yuanfang said: "Yes, Shen Minghao, the eldest son of the Shen family, has been decided. This kid is very good, he is already a person at a young age. My mother-in-law, the eldest princess, didn't want her granddaughter to marry into the Xungui family, but fell in love with the Shen family's scholarly family. The door is honest, so the master has decided on this family business. As for the business, I have already looked at a few people, but he doesn't listen to me, so he has to choose one himself. So it's still on hold. ”

The old lady Li frowned and said: "The marriage of this child has always been the order of the parents, how can you choose your own business?" What kind of one is he going to choose? ”

Chen Yuanfang frowned and said, "I don't know about this. ”

The third lady Bai was busy saying to the second aunt and grandmother Chen Yuanru: "Has Chu Jie in the second sister's family settled on someone?" ”

As soon as he talked about this, Chen Yuanru laughed and said: "Actually, we are already optimistic about each other, and after the New Year, we will have to make a decision between the two families." ”

With that, everyone's attention was diverted. asked which one it was, Chen Yuanru said: "My daughter-in-law is already a daughter of the clan, and this son-in-law doesn't want to choose in the clan, so he chose Duan Huaiyu, the second son of the Duan family of Jiangmen." ”

Saying this, Chen Yuanfang laughed and said: "The second sister's vision is good, and the Duan family's family style is good. Most of the people are straightforward, this Duan Huaiyu and my family are good friends, I also grew up watching, not to mention the good-looking people, but also very talented. The martial arts are very good, and every time we compete with him, we lose. ”

Everyone was busy congratulating.

The old lady was very happy to see that her daughter's family was fine, so she pulled her daughters and said some gossip.

In the side room here, Bai Yuying is entertaining everyone. The county lord of Jiasi said with a good temperament: "Sister Yuying, don't be busy, there are maidservants here, where can you do it yourself?" Let's go to the window over there and talk to ourselves, and let the little sisters talk here. ”

After speaking, the old man Bai Yuying walked to the window. Seeing that there was no one here, Chu Jie, Nan Zhen, Nan Rong and the Chen family sisters were talking at the table, so they asked in a low voice: "This has been busy in our house, and I haven't seen you, how are you?" Are you pregnant? ”

As soon as she said this, Bai Yuying's face showed a helpless expression and said: "I've been married for so many years, and I still haven't been pregnant, I've tried everything, and now I've seen it, so I simply cut off the child-avoiding soup for the aunts in the house, and see who is pregnant, anyway, I'm a mother-in-law, it's a big deal for me to raise it, and it's the same when I grow up." ”

The county lord of Jiasi pursed his lips and said, "Then how can it be the same?" People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, not from their own stomachs, how can they be single-minded? How's it going, how is your cousin doing to you? ”

Bai Yuying's face flushed and said: "Xianggong treats me as always, and treats the concubines in the courtyard like the same, even if there are two who want to jump out, they are all suppressed by Xianggong, and others are very protective of my status." ”

The county lord of Jiasi couldn't help but say: "Hey, fortunately, the eldest cousin is not as confused as the eldest uncle, and he knows how to maintain the status of the main wife." ”

Speaking of her father-in-law, Bai Yuying also smiled.

The county lord of Jiasi said: "By the way, the third aunt is back, you see that the people in their third room are easy to get along with, how do you treat you?" ”

Bai Yuying said: "The third uncle treats people very kindly, treats Xianggong very well, often instructs Xianggong on his knowledge, and loves to take Xianggong out when he has entertainment, so he gave Xianggong many gifts soon after he came back." The shot is extremely generous. There is also the third aunt, she is the daughter of our family, and I call her aunt. Naturally, it's good for me. I can't see the smoke and miasma of our big house, and I often support the scene for me. ”

The county lord of Jiasi nodded and said: "The evaluation of their husband and wife in the capital is very good, they are all very sleek and good people, and they have not been back for a long time, and they are frequent guests at various banquets, and they are very popular." ”

Bai Yuying said: "Sister Jiasi, you know, our Chen family was originally very dignified, but my father-in-law is not very reliable, and my mother-in-law can't hold it up like that, so there are not many people in the capital who are willing to take a fancy to our father-in-law, but since the third uncle took the father-in-law out, for the sake of the third uncle, there are more and more people who respect and make friends with my father-in-law, and I am also happy to see it." When I attended the tea party and drank the wedding wine, I often followed the third aunt, and I also gained a lot of benefits. ”

The county lord of Jiasi glanced at Wen Hui, who was talking to the sisters, and asked, "How is the sixth sister?" Although the person is a little smaller, I heard that the third uncle and the third aunt are extremely favored, right? How about your temperament, don't be like Wen Jin. ”

Bai Yujing sneered and said, "Sister Jiasi, you are such a straight person, no wonder you will suffer a secret loss in front of the second aunt." Sister Wen Hui has only been back for two or three days, and we have not had much contact, but it seems that she has a straightforward personality, and it should not be difficult to get along with. This is very different from Wen Jintian. Wen Jin is very good to herself, extremely bad to others, she only has herself in her heart, where is there someone else, let alone a subordinate. However, Wen Jin is married now, and life is not very easy, she quarreled with her third brother-in-law again a few years ago, and she came back in anger, and it was not until the New Year that her brother-in-law sent someone to pick her up. Moreover, when he came to pick him up, he only sent the steward and mother-in-law, and the third brother-in-law did not come forward, Wen Jin was disgraced, and the second aunt was angry. ”

The county lord of Jiasi laughed and said: "She is that person, I said it a long time ago, her eyes are above the top, but she has no talent, she is squeamish, and she will suffer after she arrives at her mother-in-law's house." How's it going, you see? How long has it been since I got married, and I went back to my parents' house in three days, and I heard that her mother-in-law was very angry and often gave her no face in front of people. ”

When Bai Yujing heard this, she also laughed, they had all eaten Wen Jin's hanging before, so they were not good with Wen Jin, and now she was naturally happy to see the delicate girl in the boudoir eating at her mother-in-law's house. Thinking of this, Bai Yujing sighed again and said: "Sister Jiasi, you see how good they are in the house of the girls who have not yet left the pavilion, innocent and happy, where is like us, once we get married, we have to deal with the mother-in-law, the father-in-law, the concubine, and the servant, it's really difficult to do." I'm right, the concubines in the family didn't add to the chaos, but the parents-in-law are like this. Although our big room is a long room, but because of my grandmother's eccentricity, I am angry with the second room everywhere. What about you, although you gave birth to a good son, but the second aunt is not easy to get along with, she was born in the Chen family, where will you see the face of the county lord. ”

The county lord of Jiasi also sighed and said: "Yes, if I marry into the ordinary noble family, with my identity as the county lord, I will definitely not be angry, but my mother-in-law is the daughter of the Chen family, and my sister is now a noble concubine, the most noble woman in the harem, where is I, the county lord, in her eyes." She is strict in governing the family, and she is also very strict in disciplining her husband, and I am also stained with my son's light, so that she can see her differently. Even so, she still gave two young and beautiful maids and said that they were the maids in her room to the husband, in fact, where are the two maids she raised, they are the singers she raised before, and they are the most foxy children, and they make me angry every day. I really envy these sisters-in-law who are not married. ”
