Chapter 112: Handing over power
Second Mrs. Wen nodded slowly, if she doesn't do this, she can do that, that is her mother's family in the end, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons. Mrs. Wen looked at her expression, and sighed softly, such a mother's family who was fighting in their own nest, when they mentioned it, they couldn't stand up their waists.
Regardless of the entanglement between Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen, the matter of the separation of the Xu Mansion did not end until the end of the Chinese New Year. Master Xu's family was greatly injured, and with the support of the clansmen, they sold their ancestral house. When Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen received the news, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also discouraged, they never thought that the Xu Mansion had reached the point where they could not keep the ancestral house. The person who reported the news from the Xu Mansion, looking at the looks of the two of them, hurriedly informed Master Xu of his new residence, and then found an excuse to leave in a hurry. Mrs. Wen looked at Mrs. Wen quietly, her mother's family was lonely, which was not a good thing for a married woman.
Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family sat idly in the room, occasionally mentioning what was happening outside, and they generally did not shy away from the children at home, but were happy to see them take the initiative to ask about the ins and outs of some things. In this way, they tell their children what is going on outside. In fact, the couple thought that they lacked experience in teaching their children, and they were worried that they would teach their children badly, so they could only use this simple method to guide their children to learn from the experience of others, so that they could be thoughtful and meticulous in their actions in the future, and they could consider from the position of others.
The ups and downs of Xufu, joys and sorrows, like a life drama, made outsiders sigh a few times. Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family sighed while talking, it is very difficult to start a family. It's quite easy to ruin a family or business. When Wen Chaoqing took Wen Xiuyu's brothers to clean up in the backyard, Jin sighed and said to Wen Xueyi: "Xueyi, after you get married in the future, you can't indulge your mother's brothers like the women of the Xu Mansion, and as a result, you will soften their muscles and bones." The things of the husband's family, which can be moved to the mother's family like this, are the easiest to cultivate the spineless brothers of the mother's family. β
Kim remembered her younger brother, remembered that he had always been her, and sighed low and said, "It is better to rely on others than to learn to rely on yourself." Wen Chunyi had already been shocked by Wen Chaoqing's husband and wife using reality as a teaching material several times, and she realized it clearly. She lived a new life. It's not a shameful thing, but it's a bit troublesome. The concept of renewal in the previous life should be used in this life, which is completely the rhythm of looking for death and burdening the family. She thought about it. She found that all she could remember in her head was some scum. Those who forget to throw away are all the essence.
Wen Chunyi originally had a trace of fantasy. In the face of reality, she was repeatedly impacted, and she had to face the cruel status quo soberly. The only way that Zhilu Dao can take at present is to be a woman who is a scholar from now on, so as to ensure that she can live a long time. Wen Chunyi's depressed mood has nowhere to tell, so he can only digest it slowly. Fortunately, the people in the fourth room were attracted by what happened in the Xu Mansion, and the people who could notice the changes in her mood were focused on caring about the progress of the Xu Mansion at this time, and no one paid attention to the emotional ups and downs of a little person.
Wen Chunyi has always looked forward to the day when the four rooms will go out of Wenfu, the days will be poorer, and the family can live freely. However, Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family commented on the affairs of the Xu Mansion, and she really understood that it was not as simple as she thought. Out of Wenfu, the four rooms are still in two generations, and they are constantly close to Wenfu. is in the third generation, Wenfu and the four rooms are inseparable. The reason why the Xu Mansion is out of control is because the side branch has fallen many years ago, and the descendants now have no way to support the faΓ§ade, so they can only turn the barren inside into the world.
Wen Chaoqing likes to talk about the overall situation, and he will not easily break the joints in a matter, he usually goes around Wen Chunyi dizzy, and only then will he hear the meaning of his previous words in his most concluding words. The Jin family is different, she said that she spoke plainly and clearly, anyway, she was talking at home, not to mention that Wen Xueyi's brothers and sisters were all early governors, and when they went out of the room, they never transferred what their family said outside. Jin directly commented on the affairs of Xu Mansion, and said it to the bone: "The people of the whole house are all idle and panicked, fighting in their own nests for nothing, fighting for generations, and they have all collapsed a family." β
Wen Chunyi knew from the eyes exchanged between the Jin family and Wen Xueyi that the two of them knew more about the dirty things of the Xu Mansion in private, and the Jin family would come to such a conclusion. Jin and Wen Xueyi didn't look at Wen Chunyi in front of her, and talked about those idle things, but they couldn't stop the servants of the four rooms from gossiping in private into her ears. The servants in the four rooms all knew that Wen Chunyi was not a troubled person, and occasionally she heard them talking privately together, and she never went to the Jin family and Wen Xueyi to report it, so she never really avoided it. Sometimes in front of her, he will also say some rumors that are known to the outside.
There have always been many concubines in each house in the Xu Mansion, and each house is prosperous. But the adult men, one by one, have no interest, and they are all lustful, and they can't stand up on their own, so they can only rely on their ancestral business and the sisters who married out. The wives and concubines in each room have to fight in the house, and when they go out of the house, they have nothing to do with each other, and they are also fighting inside and out. When Wen Chunyi heard the rumors, he was shocked at first, and then turned to it. Her life experience is still too shallow, so she will always think that the relationship between the ladies of the Xu Mansion is good, and when they use secret tricks to deal with her, they cooperate with each other too tacitly.
The ups and downs of the Xu Mansion quickly subsided after a wave in Ancheng. Old Madam Wen and Second Madam Wen seemed relatively silent. Wenfu enjoyed the snow and flowers in winter, and many people came as usual. Wen Chunyi is still the person who guards the fourth room, and those who are knowledgeable and interested will not mention her in front of Mrs. Wen. There are old people in every family, and there are always one or two juniors who can't get into the eyes of the elderly. Wenfu still invited the ladies and ladies of the Xu Mansion and the Xu Mansion this time, but at this time, the Xu Mansion became smaller, only the masters of the Xu Mansion and the Master Xu, and the others already had their own Xu Mansions.
The reunion activities in Wenfu are never too noisy, the young ladies and young masters enjoy the snow, flowers and scenery, and the old men and the ladies sit and chat in two places. Mrs. Wen rarely came out and showed her face for a while, and was flattered by everyone. With a loving look on her face, she looked at the people around her, the ladies and ladies of the Xu Mansion and the Xu Mansion, one by one, without the spirit of the locusts in the past, and saw that the old lady sighed at their filial piety, and persuaded them to learn to let go of their feelings as soon as possible. Mrs. Wen listened to Mrs. Wen's words on the side, and looked at the expressions of the people in Xu Mansion and Xu Mansion, and she exchanged glances with Grandma Wen.
Second Mrs. Wen was sad that she couldn't preside over the kitchen case, and Grandma Wen had to take over. After years of wear and tear, the large kitchen is no longer a place with oil and water, and people's hearts have long been scattered everywhere. Grandma Wen took over such a situation, listened to Mrs. Wen's advice, and continued to maintain the current situation. Mrs. Wen said to Grandma Wen who had an anxious look on her face: "Your husband and heirs are more important than controlling the affairs of the inner house. Your second aunt is willing to hand it over, and you will continue to manage it as it is. It's just that you don't have to hand it over to her in the future, you have the energy, and then slowly straighten out the affairs of the house. β
Grandma Wen is also an understanding person, with Mrs. Wen there, as long as Mrs. Wen is not causing a big disaster, someone will support her. Second Mrs. Wen originally took advantage of the affairs of the Xu Mansion to make a sad gesture of handing over power and strive for more practical benefits. Besides, Mrs. Wen had already said that she would not take over the big kitchen again, and Grandma Wen was pregnant, so she should not take over the big kitchen so easily. Second Mrs. Wen planned very well, and wanted to take the opportunity to get some compensation from the public and push the affairs of the big kitchen to a higher level. Who knew that the young grandmother had a sympathetic and pitying look on her face, as if she was sharing it for the elders, and took over the affairs of the big kitchen.
When Mrs. Wen heard the stupid thing that Mrs. Wen had done, she was already powerless to reprimand her, so she just shook her head lightly and said: "The eldest son and daughter-in-law personally selected by your sister-in-law will be in charge of the inner house of the first mansion in the future, and she will have to deal with the exchanges of people outside, she is naturally a shrewd and capable person." The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law followed a few of the bridal girls, looking at them all rushing to be the housekeeper of the house. You have an aunt to calculate your nephew and daughter-in-law, do you think that there are too few things in our house, and you have to make a few discounts for outsiders to see. The Xu Mansion is no longer good, you will settle down in the mansion, since you have handed over the power, you will be in charge of the affairs of your own yard in the future. β
After hearing the old lady's persuasion, Mrs. Wen did not bother with Grandma Wen about managing the kitchen. It's just that in her heart, she was secretly angry with her sister-in-law. The last time Xu Mansion entered a new house, Mrs. Wen wanted to go over to warm up the house. Mrs. Xu remembered the kindness of Mrs. Wen for a while, so she said something to her in private, and asked her to take advantage of the fact that Mrs. Wen and his wife were alive, and take advantage of the momentum of the big kitchen to get some benefits from their own house and enter the private room. Sooner or later, the Wenfu will have to divide the family, although the second room is a son-in-law, but it will not be as rich as the big house.
Second Mrs. Wen was a little hesitant at the beginning, the big house was for the younger brothers below, she had never been stingy, she wanted such a calculating big house, she was a little unable to do it. But after being seen through by Mrs. Xu, she laughed and mocked her, saying that the big house treats the people below is just a kind face, just look at the eldest son and daughter-in-law candidate of the big house, and then think about their second room eldest son and daughter-in-law candidate, you will know that the couple will pretend to be good people in front of everyone, but they are actually people with a kind heart. also said that the ladies outside, after eating and drinking well, only knew that the eldest lady was good, and a few people knew that the second lady had worried about these years.
Second Mrs. Wen remembered all the hard work she had worked in managing the big kitchen in the past few years, and remembered that she had the benefits of the small kitchen in each room, but no one had ever thanked her, and all kinds of bad emotions came up, and she suddenly felt that Mrs. Xu was a person who thought about her, and then after she came back, she directly talked to Mrs. Wen by handing over power.
