Chapter 243: Mother's Family
Wan Shi nodded and said: "After the birth of the good spirit, I saw that it was a girl, and I was very sad, your eldest brother is the eldest son of our branch, and this first child is a girl, how bad, and I just gave birth to a child, it is difficult to conceive in the short term, so I will persuade your eldest brother to take a concubine." But your eldest brother was very angry and told me that our Chen family has no concubines. Huti about the concubine, if the mother knew about it, she would be unhappy. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "What the eldest brother said is very right, don't look at the mother who is very kind on weekdays, in fact, the mother is very strict in managing housework, if you know that you want to take a concubine and dare to challenge the family rules, you will definitely be punished." ”
Wan Shi didn't smile, and said in a low voice: "After my mother's family got the good news and knew that I gave birth to a girl, she specially wrote to me, asking me to let go of my jealousy and take the initiative to take a concubine for my husband, or I would not be disliked by my mother-in-law." They also said that at the beginning, they married me to the Chen family, and at that time, my father was a thorn in history, and our family was just a family of merchants. However, at that time, my father was only the identity of the Chen family, and as long as my mother-in-law liked me, I could also establish myself at home. However, now, my father has established a sect, your eldest brother is the son of the sect, and I am the clan woman, a clan woman of the Chen family is from a merchant family, and it is too low. If I can feel that a man is more expensive than a mother, I can still stand still, but unfortunately I gave birth to a girl, what can I do? The only way is for the Wan family to send another concubine with a better status to be an arm with me, so that I can gain a foothold in the Chen family. The letter and things came with a cousin of mine, who was born very beautiful, and she was raised from a young age. He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
Chen Wenhui's eyes widened: "What a strange news, my sister-in-law gave birth to a girl, our family is happy or something, but your mother's family is unhappy, and you also took the initiative to send a candidate for a concubine, or your cousin-in-law, is this a brain in water?" ”
Wan smiled bitterly and said, "Wen Hui, think about it. This cousin of mine is much younger than me. It's not my family, it's branched, but it's very beautiful. She was taught to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. is also proficient in singing and dancing, where will the family teach the daughter of the heir like this, this is clearly the family has already chosen, and the opportunity is plugged over. Didn't think of it. I gave birth to a daughter, but my mother-in-law didn't release anyone in my room. My mother's family is going to release people in my room. It's because I gave birth to a daughter, but I just gave birth to a son, so they won't send anyone here? This person is all trained and will be put away. Hidden? I don't know if I'll find some excuse to send it over. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, and said, "I said, the one I am most familiar with in your family is Sister Qiaozhen's father." Your uncle, that's a nice guy. The ability to be mindful is very good, and my father praised it. It can't be theirs. It turned out to be a cousin of the branch, this is not surprising, they are far away from your family, where do you care about your happiness, now the power of our Xiao Chen family is getting bigger and bigger, and the queen mother in the palace has become a member of our family, not to mention, let's just say the eldest brother, that is also the city lord of the imperial court, the emperor also said, this Xinguang City will be handed over to our Xiao Chen family hereditary. If you give birth to a child in the future, you will be the next city lord, can they not be blushing? You didn't give birth to a son, maybe they are still happy, hurry up and send your own child, in case the aunt who sent it gives birth to a son, isn't it also from our Xiao Chen family, doesn't she also have the inheritance of Xinguang City? It's just that you're bitter. ”
Wan couldn't help but shed tears again. These sufferings, in this place in Xinguang City, she has no second person to talk to, she has been holding back for a long time, and when this friend and sister-in-law came, all the grievances turned into tears and flowed out.
Yujin couldn't help but quietly touch Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui immediately understood and said, "Okay, I know what you mean, I think I shouldn't say that about my sister-in-law's mother's family." No matter how bad they are, they are also sister-in-law's mother's family. However, I believe that my sister-in-law and I are still closer than those people. Sister-in-law, don't be wronged, these people are mercenary people, your own parents will not be like this, maybe in order to protect you, how many grievances they have suffered, it's just that your family is also a big family, of course, not as good as our family, but in Huzhou Province can be counted as a family, this person is more, there are many things, even if your family is the head of a big house, you can't stand people to calculate you together. You know, what's the most moving? Interests. Holding our family's thighs, how much benefit do you have to give them, as for your happiness, they don't think about it at all. Actually, they didn't take into account the interests of your cousin, after all, which of the good girls is willing to be a concubine? ”
As soon as he said this, Wan immediately figured it out. In fact, this is a very simple truth, and in Wan's experience, it should have been able to see through it a long time ago. However, when a person comes to himself, he is confused. She originally gave birth to a girl, and her heart was a little depressed, at this time it was the time when she needed the comfort of her mother's family, who knew that her mother's family not only did not comfort her, but also accused her, and gave her such a knife, angry, where did she still think rationally.
Now that Wen Hui said this, Wan Shi figured it out, and felt a little better and said: "Good sister, you are my best friend, we are different from ordinary aunts and sisters-in-law." Before I entered the Chen family, we were best friends. I know you're all for my good. After you said this, I felt a lot better. As you said, this must be the people of my mother's branch who are calculating against me. As for my parents, they still love me. Don't say anything else, because I feel that our Chen family's power is getting bigger and bigger. Especially after your eldest brother became the city lord, he is very supportive of our Wanjia people, and our Wanjia now has a lot of industries on Yizhou Island, and they are all very profitable. Some of the smart sons of the Wan family also went to work in Xinguang City. With such a big benefit, can those people not be blushing? My parents must have been under a lot of pressure as well. They couldn't stop me, so they gave me a lot of money, thinking that they couldn't make me nervous. Actually, where do I still use their money? My dowry was already a lot, and in the past few years, I have run Xinguang City and made a lot of profits, but my mother didn't ask us for it at all, but gave us money. Where is our family who is short of money? Not to mention, the treasure mirror workshop of the two of us is even more of a cash cow, where am I short of money? However, this is all a piece of my parents' heart. ”
Chen Wenhui saw that the depression in Wan's eyebrows was much less, and she was relieved and said: "Actually, you didn't tell us about this, and my brother didn't tell us either, but my mother guessed it." In terms of this house fight, my mother is a big master. We're all way there. At that time, my mother told me, let me persuade you after I come to Shin Kong City. Don't take it to heart. Like her maiden family. At the beginning, because she was a concubine, she didn't value her at all. Of course, I don't look down on my father, and I have three brothers and sisters. But after so many years, the Bai family's branch fell and moved out of the mansion, but what about our Xiao Chen family? lived separately, and her mother became a clan woman with a high status. 's father became a second-class official in the imperial court, and even his brothers also became first-class city lords. Also, now the queen mother's most trusted are Princess Lichuan and my mother. I don't know how many of the women in the capital who are in the capital who are angry with my mother. Now my mother is in the capital, and she is the richest. Sister-in-law understands what it means, right? ”
Wan's eyes shone brightly and said, "I understand what my sister said." My mother wants me to learn like her old man. Actually, I'm in the same situation now. I'm now the wife of Zhengyipin. But the Wan family still treats me as a girl who has not been out of the cabinet and is handled by them. I ought to show my own courage, and men will dishonor themselves and others will dishonor me. Wanjia can become more and more prosperous because of me, but they can't see the shape clearly, not only add to my blockage, but also embarrass my parents, if I don't cheer up again, I will lose the face of my mother. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and nodded.
Come to think of it, with Wan's cleverness, as long as he makes up his mind, it will not be a problem to give Wanjia a dismissal. At that time, the Wanjia will understand that under the current shape, the Wanjia should be the leader of the horse.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui said: "Speaking of which, I want to talk about your cousin, is she still in Xinguang City?" Did my brother see her? ”
Wan Shi blushed and said: "She is still in Xinguang City, I told your eldest brother about this, your eldest brother is very angry, he hasn't even seen it, and people are directly thrown outside, and he won't even let us enter the mansion." Now she is living in our Wanjia house in Shin Kong City. By the way, my mother's family still made a lot of money and gave her no less than the dowry she gave me back then. Those things, your eldest brother also let people throw them out of the house. The people of the Wan family went to pick it up. It's a shame. ”
Although he said that his mother was embarrassed, Wan's eyebrows and eyes were full of happy smiles. It seems that Chen Wenjun did the right thing this time and won the appreciation of his wife. Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "My eldest brother is a smart one. That's a good way to handle it. If he had seen that cousin of yours, I would have written to my mother to see if she didn't punish him. However, sister-in-law, this also shows that the eldest brother only has you in his heart and truly loves you. ”
Although she is already a child's mother, this still makes Wan's face flush with shame. She scolded with a smile: "You little girl, how old you are, you love, love, and you are not afraid of shame." Everyone is a sister-in-law making fun of the sister-in-law, you are good, always tease me, it's really the opposite. ”
The two laughed for a while, as if they were back to the scene before they got married. (To be continued)
