Chapter 288: Chen Shimei (3)
Since the Chen family lived in the Du family, half a year's household expenses have topped the Chen family's previous two years, Jing Yuan looked at the long list of bills handed over by the housekeeper, and had a headache for a while.
Jingyuan has to manage the business in the shop, and she has to deal with these bad things at home, she grew up with the pampering of her parents, and she has no brothers and sisters, let her do business okay, let her get along with these people's families, she can't do it at all, she is anxious for a while, and she is tired of coping.
After a long time, she accidentally revealed her dissatisfaction with the Chen family in front of Chen Shirong, and Chen Shirong told the Chen family in front of her. He also said that if this continues, they will all be sent home.
After this time, the Chen family had some scruples, although their faces were full of dissatisfaction, they still accepted it, and they were used to living a good life, they didn't want to go back to live the days of lack of food and clothing, so there was a lot of peace for a while.
But Jing Yuan saw Chen Shirong secretly sad in the house, she felt a little sorry for Chen Lang, and let him, a junior, talk about his parents and eldest brother for himself, he should feel very uncomfortable.
Since then, no matter what trouble the Chen family has, she has never come out in front of Chen Lang, and always solves it silently by herself.
But because of such a business and a family care, it was still a little difficult for her to cope with a woman's family, and finally there was a big mistake in the business.
After Chen Shirong knew about this, he immediately stepped forward to take over a mistake for her, and then after a period of running, he helped her solve this matter.
Jing Yuan felt that she had married the right person, and this man helped her block the wind and rain when she was in danger.
And Chen's mother also spoke at this time, she said that Jingyuan has been married for so many years, and she is not pregnant, it is estimated that she is tired of doing business, and now it happens that Chen Shirong can manage business better than Jingyuan, so it is better to let him take over the business, so let Jingyuan raise her body at home, and she will raise her body before she can give birth to a child.
Although Jing Yuan was reluctant to let go of business, she also knew that what Chen's mother said made sense, but she would only do business since she was a child, and she would not know anything else, and she would be a little overwhelmed if she was allowed to be idle, so she was a little hesitant.
Chen Shirong saw that she didn't let go, so he said sadly, "Yuan'er, don't you trust me?" Actually, it doesn't matter, I just think about your body. ”
Jing Yuan immediately denied it, how could she not trust Chen Lang. At this point, in order to show her trust, she immediately agreed to Chen's mother's suggestion, and continued to talk as if she really didn't trust Chen Lang.
Since then, Jing Yuan has been a lady in the house at home to recuperate, and Chen Shirong is no longer dancing with the literati, but running between various shops and doing business.
Jing Yuan just looked at the accounts handed in by each shop every month, and in the first few months, she saw that the business in the accounts was very good, and the business was a little better than when she was in charge, so she was very satisfied, and felt that Chen Lang was really talented.
Later, seeing that Chen Lang was getting better and better, she didn't have to look at the accounts every month, and because she had been recuperating for a period of time, but she was still not pregnant, she was also very irritable and anxious, looking for a recipe for giving birth everywhere, so she was even less in the mood to look at the accounts, anyway, she also trusted Chen Lang very much.
Later, Chen Shirong said that she had to take the key steps of rouge every time, and one match was one night, and he was afraid that she would be tired, so he wanted to help her after following the study.
But Jing Yuan swore in front of her father that she couldn't sue anyone, including Chen Lang, so she refused.
Chen Shirong's face was a little bad when he heard this, Jing Yuan saw that his face was not good, so she said, it's not that she didn't say it, it was because she swore in front of her father, Chen Shirong's face changed for the better, and he only said that he was afraid that she would be tired.
Since then, Chen Shirong has always mentioned the matter of Fangzi, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that Fangzi is not safe in his mind, what if he remembers it wrong that day.
Jing Yuan couldn't say that the Du family's recipes were never written down on paper, they were all passed down by word of mouth, she was afraid that he would say this, which would make Chen Lang feel awkward.
So he took the paper and wrote a few recipes developed by himself, and a few fake secret recipes were put in a box, and then locked them, and took the key himself, saying that the recipes were all in this box, and they would be passed on to his children in the future. Chen Shirong laughed happily when he saw this, and praised her for being smart.
Not long after, Jingyuan was called by Chen's mother, and Chen's mother said straight to the point, "You have been married to Shirong for so many years but you have never been able to have children, you can't let our Shirong cut off the incense, I plan to marry another one for our Shirong." ”
Jing Yuan's face turned pale when she heard this, and she stood there staggering and almost fell. She knows that she has been married for eight years and has not come out, and she herself is very guilty, not to mention her mother-in-law, she must have endured it for a long time, and it is reasonable for her mother-in-law to make this request now.
Although she was unwilling, she still endured the pain in the center and said, "I don't know which girl my mother likes, although she is a concubine, but her daughter-in-law will definitely do it decently." ”
"What, concubine!" When Mother Chen heard this, she raised her voice, and said in a sharp voice, "What kind of concubine, what I said about marrying a wife, it is already considered low for a girl from the same prefect to marry into our family, if it weren't for the fact that I and this girl's aunt are cousins, people may not agree, what do you say about taking a concubine." I'm just telling you now, if you know each other, hurry up and invite yourself to the court, for the sake of you who have been with our Shirong for so many years, I can still give you the status of a concubine, otherwise, hmph, there is no good fruit for you to eat. ”
These words are tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, Jing Yuan was stunned on the spot, she couldn't parry, let her go to court, let Chen Lang marry her, how is this possible, this is simply impossible, Chen Lang will definitely not marry someone else "Impossible, Chen Lang will not agree!" Jing Yuan shouted.
"Hmph, don't dream, this is what Shirong asked me to tell you. Do you think Shirong is really rare for you, I'm bah, Shirong and his cousin have long been in love, if you hadn't inserted a stick in the middle, maybe they would have been married a long time ago, and now they are also the son-in-law of the same prefect, are they still used for your family to be a son-in-law? Mother Chen pointed at Jing Yuan and said.
Jing Yuan didn't believe it, Chen Lang had been good to her all these years, she didn't feel it, how could it be what Chen's mother said, she didn't believe a word, it must have been Chen's mother who lied to her, in order to let Chen Lang go to the girl of the same family.
She broke out of the door in a grand manner, and she wanted to go to Chen Lang to ask for clarification, leaving Chen's mother smiling her behind with a smug face.
Directly got into the carriage and went to the shop, Chen Lang said that he would talk about business here today. She rushed to the second floor of the shop, the room where Chen Lang worked, and she didn't notice that the stewards and guys in the shop were all fresh faces because she was in a hurry.
Before she entered the house, when she walked to the door, she heard a burst of eating and laughing from the house, and it was a woman's voice, "Brother Rong, I don't care, you must kick that slut out of the door when you go back today, I can't wait for a moment!" ”
"Got it, got it, it's just a matter of the next few days, you wait a little longer!" Chen Shirong's gentle persuasion voice came from inside.
"I'm waiting, but my belly can't wait, it's going to grow in a few months, what can I do then!" The woman whispered.
"Don't worry, I won't wait until then, I already asked my mother to tell her today." Chen Shirong coaxed.
Jing Yuan heard the conversation inside and was stunned on the spot, she originally came to ask for verification, but now that she hears this, do you still need to verify it, the facts are already in front of her.
"This lady, what are you doing here, we don't entertain guests here on the second floor!" The voice of a small servant in the corridor sounded, and said to Jing Yuan, who was stunned at the door.
The people in the house heard the movement outside, and someone quickly came over and opened them, Chen Shirong opened the door and saw Jing Yuan standing at the door, her face was pale, and there were still tears on her face, and immediately he knew that she heard the conversation just now, and there was a trace of embarrassment on her face, and then she straightened up and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Jing Yuan ignored his question, and only pointed to a long bewitching woman in red clothes behind him and asked sharply, "Who is she?" How is it here? ”
"Hehehe!" The woman smiled coquettishly, "You are the tigress, I will tell you that I am the mother of Brother Rong's child, if you know each other, go back and pack up your things and leave, the hen that doesn't lay eggs!" Although this woman's face is beautiful, with these words, it makes people feel very annoying and distorted.
Jing Yuan clenched her fists when she was scolded, her well-trimmed nails cut through her palms, and blood flowed down, but she didn't feel the pain, because she was numb, "You sue me, what's going on, is it what she said?" Jing Yuan only asked Chen Shirong.
"Well, that's what you see. Presumably my mother has already told you, for the sake of you having been with me for so many years, I will give you the status of a concubine, and I will not drive you away! Chen Shirong said ruthlessly to Jing Yuan.
The woman got Chen Shirong's support, and she was even more proud, deliberately straightened her stomach, and then leaned on Chen Shirong's body, her eyes were full of contempt for Jing Yuan, but she was still unwilling to leave this tigress as a concubine, but Brother Rong said that it was useful to keep her, and she could only endure it for the time being, but she was a concubine, and she had a way to rectify her in the future.
However, Jingyuan listened to Chen Shirong's words and smiled, "Hahaha, drive me away, I'll see who can drive me away, don't forget, your family is eating, drinking, and living all of my Du Jingyuan's things, you actually say drive me away, daydreaming, I think I will drive you away!" Now take your family and give me my Du family's house and shop immediately! The last words were said by Jing Yuan through gritted teeth.
"Hahaha" Chen Shirong also smiled, "If you don't say that you are a stupid woman, I think you can't see the shape clearly, let me sue you, these shops, as well as the house, the land, including the Du family mansion where you live have long since changed their surname to Chen, and the house deed and title deed are in my hands, otherwise do you think I will say this, do you think I will say this, do you think that after I have been in your house for eight years, I will recite poems, right?" ”R1152
