Chapter 42: Mending the Knife
Although Mama Yu was invited over, she sat under Chen Yuanfang, representing the Queen Mother. However, Mama Yu is very observant of her duty, she knows that she is only representing the Queen Mother, not the Queen Mother. She only has a part in listening to the Chen family, where is there any interjection, or the identity and status of the Chen family's inheritance? So, she just listened quietly all the time.
However, Chen Yuanfang took a look so seriously that he really saw the problem. Mama Yu looked calm and relaxed, and if she looked closely, she could see that her eyes turned to Mrs. Li without paying attention, revealing a look of pity. However, this look is fleeting, and you really can't see it if you don't pay attention to it.
Chen Yuanfang immediately thought that when the Queen Mother was in the capital, Mrs. Bai was the Queen Mother's right and left hand. Therefore, if Madam Bai has any thoughts, Mama Yu must know. Today's events are not so simple.
Chen Yuanfang's heart instantly made it clear what was going on. Although the second brother and her are siblings of the same mother, the eldest brother and she are also siblings of the same mother. The same distance and proximity. However, the eldest brother's family is different now. The eldest brother has a queen in the family. For other people's families, her in-laws' family is the Tian family, which is the eldest princess's home. However, the eldest princess died. Although her husband and her husband's brother, the two brothers, were made earls by the emperor. However, the momentum is not as good as before.
If you want to gain a foothold in the capital and stop sliding, Chen Yuanfang understands in her heart that this is going to hold the queen and not let go. Therefore, the Tian family and the queen mother in the palace have always been very close.
In this way, the Chen family's mansion. If the person in charge is a big house, it is more convenient for himself. Also, now that the big house is at a disadvantage, if you help yourself at this time, the sister-in-law will definitely be grateful to herself, and the relationship between her Tian family and the queen will be better.
Chen Yufang made up her mind, so she said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, I don't think it is necessary to teach by hand. I've been used to watching my mother take care of things in our house since I was a child. There are rules, and everything is done according to the rules. I think Xiaobai is still capable. He is also a well-known capable person in the Bai family. When I arrived at our Chen family, not to mention anything else, the big house has taken good care of her in the past few years. Now there should be no problem taking care of the whole mansion. Besides. Hit that difficulty. Isn't there still a mother? ”
Mrs. Li was stunned. I was really blocked by my sister-in-law. Do you want to say that your mother-in-law is old and can't give advice? Is she the only one who is the best fit?
Bai's eyes lit up, knowing that the clever Chen Yuanfang had guessed something. So cooperate with yourself. Therefore, it was time for her to say: "We all live in the capital, if there is really a difficulty, we will not remind Xiaobai?" Besides, there is also a mother in charge, and the queen mother in the palace takes care of it, and their sister-in-law will definitely be able to cooperate better. Isn't the purpose of the existence of our Chen family mansion to worship the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother? Otherwise, we might as well go back to the clan land. ”
This is really straightforward, but it also goes straight to the center. The four great families each have their own clan land, why do they still put a clan member in the capital, and take out a large amount of money in the clan land every year to let them build a house in the capital? It's not for the power of the central dynasty, especially the power of the harem.
Now the Chen family is at its peak, and there have been two generations of queens, although the queen mother is not in the palace, or even in Dachu, but whether it is in the court, or in the harem, or in front of the emperor, in front of the four major family patriarchs, it is very prestigious.
Although the concubines in the palace are now competing for favor, the queen of the main palace is still Chen Wenfeng of the Chen family.
At present, the main function of the Chen family's mansion is to maintain the current power and keep the queen's mother. Under this premise, Chen Wenqi, who is naturally the husband and wife housekeeper of the same mother as the queen, is the most suitable and can cooperate with the queen.
Mrs. Li's face turned pale, and a fierceness flashed on her face.
Mrs. Li and Chen Yuanru were stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Li said: "We naturally want everything to be based on the queen mother and the queen mother. ”
Chen Yuanru is a smart person, which of the girls of the Chen family is not a smart person? She didn't think about it so much before, but when she saw her sister change her tone at this moment, she actually cooperated with the third room to help the big house, not to mention that the other party also proposed the queen mother, can you still understand what it means?
Today's meeting, although the Queen Mother sent someone to attend, the Queen Mother did not send anyone over. However, if the queen mother doesn't send someone over, does it mean that she doesn't care about this matter? The Bai family and the Queen Mother have always been close, and even, the Queen Mother trusts Mrs. Bai more than her two sisters. Then the Bai family would not know what the Queen Mother thought?
Looking at Mama Yu who had been sitting there calmly, Chen Yuanru understood that he had thought it simple before. Today's matter is actually very clear, no matter from which point of view, it should be the big house to get this Chen family mansion. For himself, the future way out of the Linhai Bo family is on the queen's mother. So how can you still help the second room?
Chen Yuanru couldn't help but secretly regret that he was really confused, why didn't he figure things out? What are the benefits of helping the second room for yourself? What's in the second room now? Chen Yuanluan in the second room has no position at all, and his status in the government and the opposition is not as good as his Linhaibo family.
The sons and daughters of the second room. In the past, there were two concubines who became palace concubines, and even became concubines and concubines, but the first emperor died, and these two imperial concubines also became Taoist aunts, two Taoist aunts, even if they were Taoist aunts who were national teachers, what could they do? Chen Wenjin, the daughter of the grandmother, not to mention, is a fool. Even if there is no harmony, she is just the wife of a marquis in the capital, and she is on par with her own Linhai Bo's family.
What's more, now that she has left, Jinxianghou's family has long since disappeared. Although Chen Wenjin is now married to the clan land, I heard that his son-in-law is not bad, but he is just a rich man, and he has no power, so where can he go to his own family.
But what about the big house? Chen Wenqi has been good in the past few years, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and Chen Wenfeng is even more expensive as the queen.
With such a huge gap, how confused are you to choose to help the second room? Speaking of which, this is all due to decades of inertia. Because the lady of the second room is the niece of her mother's mother's family, her mother, Mrs. Li, is all towards Mrs. Li in the second room. The two sisters are naturally influenced by their mothers, and most of them help Mrs. Li in the second room.
This is very wrong. Looking back, over the years, what benefits have I gained from helping the second room, suppressing the big room, and bullying the third room? The second room has not given himself anything. But look at the three bedrooms. His son-in-law, his family has become richer, all thanks to Wen Hui's blessings, and it is beneficial to invest in Nanyang, and his son-in-law has also made meritorious contributions in Nanyang, and now his future is very good.
Although the big house didn't help his family much, but there was a queen in the big house, why didn't he see it clearly? It's still Xiaomei who has always been shrewd and thinks clearly, this has changed, and she can't fall behind.
Chen Yuanru corrected his mistake as soon as he knew it, and said with a smile: "I always like to party with my wife outside, and they all praise Xiaobai's family, and they all say that this is a rising star." Even those of us who married outside the Chen family have face. I think if the family is handed over to her, with my mother watching, our elders taking care of it, and the queen mother helping, there must be no problem. ”
Mrs. Li's eyes widened, she didn't understand, what was wrong today? has always been on Mrs. Li's side, so the two sisters-in-law who are also on her side, what's going on? Why did they all turn to help the big house?
Mrs. Lee felt a strong sense of betrayal.
Chen Yuanru and Chen Yuanfang's sisters spoke one after another, which made Mrs. Li pay attention to it. No matter how much you pamper your niece, her niece is always inferior to her own daughter. For the words of these two daughters, Mrs. Li still attaches great importance to them.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Li said, "What you said makes sense, I think so." Second, the old lady of your family has already bought a house for you outside, although it is not as big as this house, but your family has a simple population, and you can't use a big house. Let's pick a day to move out. Now let your eldest brother divide the property of both of your brothers. ”
Chen Yuanluan listened to his mother's words, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. Is his mother the king of mending knives? What is called population simplicity. Didn't he say that he didn't give birth to a son? Not to mention the son, even the son of the concubine, he has only one. Not to mention, sons can't compare, daughters can't compare. The daughter of the eldest is now the queen's mother, but her own daughter is just a concubine, a concubine, or the emperor's. Now it's just two Dao Gu.
The only daughter who came out of the concubine was originally her own high hopes, but she disappointed herself the most, and now she is just a rich man. Ordinary people, how to compare with the boss?
Not only can't compare to the boss, but also can't compare to the third. Look at the third child, calm and relaxed, don't say a word, people don't need to say a word.
People have long since moved out. That mansion is no worse than his Chen family's mansion in terms of geographical location, scale, or sophistication. Can people take a fancy to this old mansion? Speaking of family property, who doesn't know, Xiao Chen's family is rich in the world, can they look at this family property?
Xiao Chen's family has a big house, there are countless overseas cities, vast fiefdoms, and countless populations, can they care about such a little money, such a few people, and such a big house in this mansion? (To be continued......)
