Chapter 221: Not pleasing to the eye
Wen Chunyi's face did not change, she politely sent Mrs. Wen Sixth and Wen Jieyi to the courtyard door, and she was still at the courtyard gate, waiting for them to turn around before she entered the courtyard gate. Wen Chunyi glanced at the Jin family standing in the courtyard, and when she saw her looking at her worriedly, she walked quickly to her. Jin reached out and gently held his daughter's hand, and reminded in a low voice, "Your sixth aunt and fourteenth sister won't give up so easily. β
Wen Chunyi pulled Jin into the room, and she also whispered: "Mother, by the sixth aunt and the fourteenth sister jumping up and down, I didn't do anything, what did they say, it's just to add some boring." Kim sighed softly and said, "They are very favored in front of your grandmother, if you talk about your grandmother, what will you do?" Wen Chunyi didn't believe that the mother and daughter would be so stupid that they would directly find the old lady to say such things, and the shrewd history of the mother and daughter would definitely put some words out to test the old lady's attitude.
With the sophistication of Mrs. Wen, coupled with the second lady Wen on the side, how can the mother and daughter compete for favor and compete for the second Mrs. Wen. Old Madam Wen may have a bad feeling after connecting with Wen Chunyi in everything, but she will definitely not help Mrs. Wen to come out of such a big event. Mrs. Wen Liu and Mrs. Wen Jieyi walked out of the courtyard door of the fourth room, and they did have an idea, and they thought about talking to Mrs. Wen. It's just that when they arrived at Mrs. Wen's room, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen were talking with Mrs. Wen, and there were Mrs. Wen Fifth and Sister Wen Liyi talking and laughing together.
The happy situation of the family made Mrs. Wen Liu and Wen Jieyi hesitate to enter the room, and their mother and daughter were on such an occasion. It looks a little out of place. Old Madam Wen looked at Mrs. Wen Sixth and Wen Jieyi coming over, and greeted: "We are all talking about the dowry list from the man's family, and the twelfth and thirteenth also received the dowry list from the husband's family a while ago, you are here, just listen to it." Second Mrs. Wen only has a son of her relatives, and no daughters of her relatives, so she naturally said with a smile: "I think this is the meaning of the man's temptation, let's see if the woman's family is sincere."
When Xiuxuan was married, before we sent the dowry list to the woman's house, the second daughter-in-law's family sent someone to say hello. The approximate amount of dowry that can be given is said. Mrs. Wen nodded with a look of approval. said: "When our daughter got married, I inquired about the dowry list sent by the man's family, and according to the old etiquette, the dowry was to be doubled. The bride price from the man. You can't go too far. There won't be anything to add by then. The two families are unhappy. Mrs. Wen Sixth only felt that Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen Er sang and sang together specifically for their mother and daughter, but when they were already on the verge of it, they reminded them too late.
Mrs. Wen Liu is a person who has experienced the world. Although in the near future, because of her daughter's family affairs, she seems to be too eager for quick success, but obviously she can still stay calm, and she can continue to listen to everyone's words without changing her face. It's just that Wen Jieyi is still young, and she has always been the eldest daughter who grew up spoiled by her parents, and she can stand such a reminder, she is quite straightforward to express her dissatisfaction. Wen Jieyi felt that she was about to marry into a high gate, and the people of Wenfu should learn to coax her, instead of ignoring her like now. Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen II plus Mrs. Wen Wu, that can not see a little woman's thoughts.
It's just that Old Madam Wen didn't speak, and the three of them didn't bother to speak, anyway, if they could explain, they had already fulfilled their responsibility to remind, as for what Mrs. Wen Liu's mother and daughter should do, they would not give any more opinions. Mrs. Wen heard what the concubines meant, and tomorrow the man will come to hand over the dowry list, and there will be no one in the house to accompany him. According to the words of the second lady, it is easy for the two parents to talk about their current situation in private. As for Mrs. Wen Liu's slapping her swollen face and being fat, as long as her in-laws don't mind, the people in Wenfu's other rooms will naturally not interfere.
Mrs. Wen Liu and Mrs. Wen Jieyi found an excuse to get out of Mrs. Wen's yard, and the mother and daughter both looked a little unhappy. Wen Jieyi sighed and said to Mrs. Wen Liu: "Mother, if you give me less dowry, let's do less." My sisters can marry like this, and so can I. Wen Jieyi lowered her head when she said, and the tears seeped out, but she turned her head and wiped it clean quickly. Mrs. Wen Liu patted Wen Jieyi's shoulder and said, "You have to remember that these people treat you coldly today, and after entering your husband's house in the future, you must live a better life, so that they will look at you one by one and turn red." β
Mrs. Wen sighed and looked at the people in the room, and said, "You think I'm old and confused, and I can't tell the difference." The old sixth family has more eyes, and when the fourteenth child is willing, he is extremely good at coaxing people. But I can also distinguish the weight, the man sends a dowry list, and he has to fill the road with flowers. Then when she officially got married, wouldn't it be that two layers of flowers had to be placed on the road to make their mother and daughter get their wish. The white of the sixth family has been outside for so many years, but she is still a little impetuous, she can't stabilize things, and she is blinded by prosperity, and she wants to pull everyone in Wenfu to be blinded by her. β
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen exchanged glances, and Mrs. Wen praised on the spot: "Mother, you are not old, you can understand right and wrong at a glance." "Poof" Wen Yuyi's mouth squirted out a mouthful of tea, she blushed and apologized: "Grandmother, what the second aunt said is very true. Old Madam Wen looked at Second Mrs. Wen with a smile and said, "Don't tell me about these clichΓ©s you heard from there, just listen to what your grandson said casually." Second Mrs. Wen gave a thumbs up to Mrs. Wen and praised: "Mother, I really can't hide your insight, I really heard my grandson say this yesterday, and I will use it for his old grandmother today, try to make my mother smile?" β
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen Wu sighed very much at Mrs. Wen's intentions, and then joined in the fun, which made Mrs. Wen happy for a long time, she reached out and rubbed her stomach and said: "Come on, the old family and the old five, you guys disperse, if you have to laugh again, my stomach will hurt with laughter." Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen Wu took Sister Wen Liyi to say goodbye, and Mrs. Wen sent them out of the courtyard door and whispered: "You can rest assured, I will not let my mother be coaxed by that mother and daughter." Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen nodded with a smile, and Mrs. Wen whispered to Mrs. Wen: "Second brother and sister, in front of your mother, you look at the sixth brother and sister more." β
The big room and the fifth room were in the same direction, and Mrs. Wen Wu made a gesture with her hand and asked Mrs. Wen softly: "The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, are you too lazy to take care of the affairs of that room, so you went to Zhuangzi to recuperate, right?" Mrs. Wen shook her head and said: "She is pregnant hard, a little unstable, happy events in the house one after another, we are worried about the joy, simply let her go to the Zhuangzi to recuperate for some days." There are sixteen and eighteen things in the house, and I will watch from the sidelines, so there should be no big mess. Mrs. Wen Wu laughed lightly and said, "Eighteen is a person with tendons, and if he says that he will act according to the rules, he will not go beyond a trace." β
Mrs. Wen thought about Wen Chunyi's way of talking to the lady in charge with a small face, she also smiled and nodded: "Fortunately, there are eighteen stewards, otherwise, I really don't dare to let go and hand it over to sixteen." Eighteen has a cold temperament, and although he is young, he can hold down the position. It's just that when the banquet is held in the house in the future, you still need to come out to help Zhang Luo, after all, she is a little tender, and she is not a person who likes to deal with people, and she can't stand that kind of big scene. Mrs. Wen nodded with a smile, knowing that in recent years, Mrs. Wen has become more and more dislike of doing these things in front of people.
"I want to thank my sister-in-law for giving me the opportunity to know more people, and after I have set up the affairs of my children's relatives properly, I will also learn from my sister-in-law and let them deal with it when they are young." Mrs. Wen looked at her with a smile and said, "Then you must remember to carefully select a virtuous and knowledgeable eldest daughter-in-law." Mrs. Wen looked at her daughters and spoke behind herself, she approached Mrs. Wen and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I have taken a fancy to the daughters of the two families, next time I invite those two families to come, can you help me take a look at the candidates?" Your Xiubai has also reached the age of looking at each other, do you have a daughter in that family? β
When it comes to children's family affairs, it is a stimulant for mothers, Mrs. Wen quietly mentioned to Mrs. Wen Wu about the family she likes, she said: "My sister-in-law helped me inquire, she is a good person, she will be a housekeeper, and she will treat her younger siblings kindly, but she is still young, and I want to see it for another year." "Mrs. Wen is a person who was frightened by Wen Sanshao's grandmother once, and she doesn't want to have a second person in her room who is inconsistent with her pre-marital and post-marital appearances. Mrs. Wen nodded with deep understanding and said, "They are all people who rarely interact with each other on weekdays, and such a major event needs to be visited clearly, and the children cannot be missed for a lifetime." β
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen Wu separated at the intersection, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally Mrs. Wen Sixth still remembered her daughter's family affairs, and did not think about making trouble. At night, when Wen Chaohong came back, the first thing he cared about was whether Mrs. Wen's mother and daughter had made trouble in the big room, and after hearing Mrs. Wen say what Mrs. Wen said about Mrs. Wen's mother and daughter in the fourth room, he sighed deeply and said: "Mother really only looks at one daughter-in-law wrong, and that is also taking into account the situation of the uncle's family." The fourth brother, that is an honest man who took the light, was changed by life to a concubine, and he saw that he suffered a loss, but the wife he married happened to be the most suitable for him. β
Over the years, Mrs. Wen has somewhat understood the deep intentions of Mrs. Wen to play a good wife and mother. The aunt of the concubine, the sin that she had suffered, how could she let the concubine have the same happy marriage. It's just that she is good at pretending to be virtuous in front of outsiders, and the wife she is looking for for her concubine can get by, and she is a good family. It's just that inside, looking at the temperament of Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen Liu, you can know her long-term thoughts that day.
Mrs. Wen is just an ordinary woman, the dark side of human nature, and when she settles the old accounts afterwards, she naturally has to face people who don't like her. (To be continued......)
