420 To each his own mind
Li raised his eyebrows, wanting to refute a few words, and remembered that many people in the clan had the idea of letting their children rely on Jiang Shuncheng, so that they could give their children a good future.
Looking back, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of the Li family, thinking that the eldest brother and sister-in-law had no daughters under their knees, they insisted on sending the eldest daughter Shuting to the imperial city, how could there be the dignity and glory of Shuting's current second-class wife. This may be the most correct thing she has done in her life.
Su Ting's original name was Shu Ting, and after arriving in the imperial city, Jiang Shun Cheng changed to Su Ting.
Even the second daughter Shujiao said more than once that they were partial, and sent their sister to the imperial city to live a good life, but they left her behind and married a small family.
Hearing that her mother denied the engagement, Chuanzhen was anxious, and said: "Back to the eldest grandmother, Chuanzhen just got engaged last autumn. He is the son of the Tang family in Jinyang City. ”
Although the Tang family was down, it was also beautiful back then, and Tang Gongzi was also quite famous in Jinyang.
Yu was stunned for a moment.
Shuhai's wife didn't want to be scuttled by her own daughter's lies, biting her lip and wanting to scold, her face suddenly turned red as if she was about to burn. At that time, she didn't know that Jiang Shuncheng and his wife would return to their hometown this year, and if she knew, she would definitely not have betrothed her daughter early. Being glared at by the Li family with reproach, Shuhai's wife became more and more embarrassed, and it became more and more difficult to face the Yu family, and she looked at Chuanzhen angrily when she lowered her head.
Chuanzhen just didn't see it, silently looked down at the ground.
Yu immediately understood, and said softly: "He is a good boy who values love and righteousness. Bring Tang Gongzi to see your eldest grandfather another day, let your eldest grandfather meet. Tap and dial. ”
"Thank you, grandmother!"
Yu said reproachfully with his eyes: "Such a big person is not as good as a child when he talks and acts." ”
Li was afraid of annoying the Yu family, so he reprimanded Shuhai's wife dissatisfiedly: "I see that you are a calm person on weekdays, how can you do things that open your eyes and tell nonsense." The engagement is the engagement. ”
Shuhai Wife is the mother who thinks of Zhuanzhu. is pretending to pass the pearl and follow the idea of going to the imperial city to find an official eunuch's house.
Jiang Suting's glory is seen by everyone in the Jiang family.
Although Jiang Suting never came back after leaving more than 20 years ago, she would always bring something back to the Li family every year, sometimes it was cloth, sometimes it was rare bird's nest, ginseng, and sometimes it was silver, which was not a few taels or dozens of taels, but usually a few thousand taels and a thousand taels at a time. More than five thousand taels. That's a lot of money for everyone else.
Jiang Shunxin's family has Jiang Shuncheng's help. There is a daughter of a second-rank official's wife. The days are the most prosperous and prosperous among the many people. It was this four-entry courtyard, and when Li said to the outside world, he also said that the eldest girl bought it with the silver brought back. It is said that it cost thousands of taels of silver, and the silver was repaired and decorated inside and out, and it also cost a lot to build two new courtyards.
Jiang Suting occasionally wrote back, complaining in her words, saying that she was brought up by Jiang Shuncheng and his wife, and her maiden family only recognized the big house.
Although Li was sour in his heart, he also wrote back to explain, saying that it was also for her good, if it wasn't for Jiang Shuncheng and his wife, where would he be able to marry such a good husband. And where can she learn the ability to be a beautiful official wife.
Whenever Jiang Suting had quarrels and disputes with Zhang Desong, she was a little envious of her sister Shujiao, thinking that her life was good, and her husband did not have a room or concubine, so he guarded her and her children, and wanted to live a better life wholeheartedly. Although she is beautiful, only she knows the bitterness behind it.
Now, there are many girls in the Jiang clan who envy Jiang Suting. thought that she was a good fortune and good luck, and was sent to the imperial city by Jiang Shunxin and his wife at a young age, a young lady from a small family in the countryside, actually went to the imperial city to be the eldest lady, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wearing silk and satin. When I went out to take a sedan chair, I went home and had a large group of girls and mothers-in-law to serve.
Yu Shi said to everyone: "You all rest, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”
Su Yan owed, "Mother, I'll go back to Moon Shadow Residence." ”
The ladies of the hand-me-down generation saluted one by one and retreated from the courtyard.
When I approached the Moon Shadow House, I saw a maid in a green coat and a pair of gray leggings playing a lantern, and a well-dressed young lady standing on one side, looking around at the gate of the courtyard.
Chuanling saw the person who came, and immediately shouted: "Chuanzhu, what are you doing here?" Didn't my mother set you a yard? ”
Chuanzhu is born like a full moon, the eyes are the same as the apricot, the lips are not dotted and Dan, the eyebrows are not painted but the branches are green, she is really a beauty with a round and jade beauty, and her cheeks are slightly ruddy. ignored Chuanling, but greeted Su Yan and saluted: "Chuanzhu to meet the aunt of the county lord." My aunt came from afar, she must have been bored, and Chuan Zhu was ordered by the elders in the family to accompany her aunt to relieve her boredom and talk. ”
Chuanling stomped her foot, "You go!" The Moon Shadow House is full, so there is still a house for you to live in. ”
Chuanzhu's eyes were aggressive, and he asked: "What did you yell at me, but my aunt didn't say anything, why did you drive me away?" ”
Chuanzhen didn't expect that the three sisters of her family came, and even Chuanzhu had to come to join in the fun. She has heard since she was a child that there are many rules in large families, and the rules of a wealthy family like the Imperial City are even greater. Even the maids beside Su Yan are more like young ladies than the young ladies she has seen, let alone the ones next to her.
Su Yan said coldly: "Moon Shadow Curie really can't live in people, even Mama has to be crowded with two girls from the Imperial City. ”
Chuanzhu was displeased, no matter what, she must live in the Moon Shadow House today. She can ask people to inquire, Chunni said that Su Yan's gift to the three sisters is not only a golden hairpin, but also two beautiful spring shirts, which will cost a lot of silver. "Auntie, there are so many people living there, and I don't have many more. It's better to let Chunni and Chunmei move out, I'm diligent. ”
Tian Xiaoqian's eyes widened and pointed at her: "You...... Who is that girl, we don't know what to do, and we can wash any piece of clothing. ”
Chuanzhu said sharply: "Tian Xiaoqian, your surname is Tian, don't pretend to be the Jiang family here." ”
For the aggressive transmission of beads between words, Su Yan doesn't like it a hundred times. said sharply: "Go back, Chunni and Chunmei want to run errands and do chores for us, and we can't do it without them." This courtyard is already full, and if there is anything, come back to me another day. ”
Chuanzhu was in a hurry, shouting "Aunt the county lord", and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the guards.
Bai Zhi couldn't see her appearance, and said coldly: "Zhilu Dao is in the imperial city, how many people do my county lord serve?" There is one housekeeper, four big girls, six second-class girls, six rough girls, and four errand boys. Chunmei and Chunni were sent by the second old lady to serve, and there are not enough people, so if you move in again, isn't this adding to the chaos. ”
The personal girl who passed the beads was holding her fingers and counting there, but before she came back to her senses, Bai Zhi had already turned her head and left.
Bai Zhi's meaning is to say that there are not enough people, so don't reduce it anymore, and it is impossible for Chuanzhu to live in.
"Miss, oh my God, the county lord actually wants more than 20 subordinates to serve her, this is ...... This ......"
Chuanzhu bit her lips, "I must marry into a high gate, and I must be as beautiful as her." I...... I can also be a princess and a lady......"
She served as a personal girl, and there was only one since she was a child.
Su Yan entered the flower hall, Chuan Zhen, Chuan Ling and Tian Xiaoqian followed, and Su Yan asked them to sit down as well.
Asked Bai Zhidao: "What did you say to Chuanzhu?" ”
Bai Zhi repeated the words.
Several young ladies were amazed.
Su Yan sighed, "Don't listen to Bai Zhi's nonsense. ”
Bai Zhi didn't dare to argue.
Su Yan said: "I don't have so many people and girls in my house, and I don't like to be noisy when there are more, so there are two personal girls around me, Bai Zhi and Bai Fei." Mama Qing is my nursing mother, and she brought me up when I was young. Omitting the fact that there are second-class girls and rough girls in the Deyue Pavilion, he only said three people, "Don't envy me, I still envy you, born in the mountains, you can be free, happy, and not bound by so many rules." The happiness of a woman's life is not to look at glory and wealth, but to see who lives comfortably and casually. Life is lived by oneself, not for others to see, money can't buy happiness, and glory can't be exchanged for comfort. ”
Chuanzhen likes to listen to such words, and as soon as she heard it, she knew that she was telling the truth, and nodded her head: "Auntie is right." ”
Chuanling looked dazed, unable to understand, and turned her head to look at Tian Xiaoqian.
Tian Xiaoqian was timid before, but after most of the day, she also knew Su Yan's temperament to some extent, and said boldly: "My mother said that I want to learn from my aunt and live a life like my aunt." ”
Chuanzhen didn't expect Tian Xiaoqian to say this, and it was too late to stop it.
Su Yan smiled indifferently, "You envy your eldest aunt's life?" ”
"Yes." Tian Xiaoqian also admitted frankly that she was scolded by Jiang Chuanzhu for not being a member of the Jiang family, thinking of this, she hated it so much, speaking of which she was closer to Su Yan, why did she scold her, "My mother said that the life of the eldest aunt is the life of a person, and it is really the life of a person." ”
Su Yan looked back at Bai Zhi, "This ......" wanted to scold a few words, but then thought again, don't say bad things about people behind your back, this is the foundation of people, and said: "Do you know that your eldest aunt envied your mother's life, saying that your father and mother lived their lives wholeheartedly, raised their children, and lived a stable life." ”
"How good was my mother's life? Worry about what to eat and what to wear all day long. My siblings are getting older, and we're worried about our future. The eldest aunt has a good life, there is endless glory and wealth, endless mountain delicacies, endless silk and satin......" Tian Xiaoqian lowered her head after speaking, "My mother also complained about my grandmother and grandfather, saying that they were partial, if my mother was sent to the imperial city back then, my mother could also have the same wealth as my aunt." ”
So-yeon let out a sigh.
Why do they all want to go to the imperial city, looking forward to marrying into the official eunuch family.
Jiang Suting went to the imperial city to join Jiang Shuncheng and his wife, at that time, the Yu family had no daughter under their knees, and they wanted to have a daughter. Now, the Yu family has Su Yan under her knees, and she is a middle-aged daughter, who is holding it in the palm of her hand and hurting it, where will she hurt other people's daughters again.
