As he was talking, a maid came in and said, "The fifth lady is here." ”

"Please! Please! The old lady said in a loud voice.

After a while, a woman wearing a long dress embroidered with gold silk came in. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady: "The daughter-in-law is late again, please punish the mother!" ”

The old lady hurriedly called the maid to help her up. "It's okay, it's okay!" There is only pity, no dissatisfaction.

Only then did the fifth wife stand up, and the second wife sat down.

Yulan looked at the young fifth aunt carefully.

Just in his early twenties, he is not tall, petite and beautiful, and there is a shallow pear vortex on his left cheek when he smiles, which is very pleasing. It's just that his face looks very haggard, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are slightly sad.

The fifth master of the Yang family is the old lady of the old man, the old lady gave birth to him at the age of thirty-five, and loves him like a treasure, the old lady is busy with government affairs and neglects education, and the fifth old man is a little out of character. Good essence is not bad, and when I get older, I finally slowly come back. But after all, unlike several elder brothers, they have made achievements in the imperial examination. Finally, the old lady was the first assistant, so he donated the official to him, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of patrolling the city.

The fifth wife was born in the Xie family, a family of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, although the official positions of the ancestors and fathers were not high, but the family business was prosperous, the talents were prosperous, and many people were officials in the court. This family affair is also the old lady's personal match, because it is the fifth wife's virtuous name. Counting on the fifth wife to take the fifth master to the road.

The fifth wife is cheerful and generous, without the slightest sour and rotten atmosphere of the young lady of the family, after marrying into the Yang family, she is dedicated to filial piety to her in-laws, and never mixes in the backyard fight, no one in the Yang family does not like her.

It is rare that in this era of blind marriage and dumb marriage, the fifth master fell in love with her at first sight, and the couple was deeply in love, since there was a fifth wife, he regarded all other women as local chickens and dogs, and all the debts caused by the love and sin when he was young were dealt with one by one.

There are few wives and husbands. Under the influence of the fifth wife, seeing that the fifth master is getting better and better, the errands in the yamen are getting better and better, and Shangfeng's praise for him is becoming more and more sincere.

made Yulan so envious.

But there is no such thing as perfection. This is true of the eldest wife, and the same is true of the fifth wife.

The fifth master and the fifth wife have been married for two years and finally got a brother En'er, and the preface teeth are ranked sixth, and the baby is like an eyeball. The child had a deficiency in the womb and began to take medicine after birth. I ate almost as much medicine as food, but it was still not good for three days, and the imperial doctor in the palace came to see it every three or five days.

The fifth wife was heartbroken for her son. The eldest lady asked the old lady to take a concubine for the fifth master and extend the heirs. It's not for anything, it's just that I feel uncomfortable watching the little couple of people making love and making harmony. I wish others were unlucky.

The good old lady never let go.

The old lady looked concerned: "Brother En'er is not in good health again?" Have you seen a doctor? "Last night, Mrs. Fifth sent someone to deliver a letter to the old lady, so it was too late to invite An today, and the old lady didn't mind at all.

The fifth lady sighed: "It's still that sick and crooked, after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, it doesn't burn." But this recipe may have been eaten for too long, and the effect is getting worse and worse! ”

sighed, and the eldest lady said, "Fifth brother and sister, don't blame me for speaking truthfully. Brother En is still so young and has been sick for so long, you have to be mentally prepared for the fifth brother and sister......"

The fifth wife's tears fell.

The old lady couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady, her eyes full of blame.

Yulan can see that the eldest lady is a dog, see who bites whom! Obviously, he didn't deal with the second wife, and he had to hurt others and hurt himself, and the fifth wife's wounds were sprinkled with salt and made enemies everywhere, which was too unwise!

The eldest lady is stingy and mean, and she doesn't know how many times she has told the Queen Mother, but she just can't change it.

A group of people, old and young, began to persuade Mrs. Five.

The second wife's son, Brother Hei'er, is only a five-year-old child, and he is very cute, so he ran over and pulled the corner of the fifth wife's clothes, and kept saying: "Aunt Five, don't cry!" Aunt Five, don't cry! I love coconut candy for you! I love coconut candy ...... for you."

The fifth wife touched her brother's tender face and finally held back her tears. hugged and kissed in his arms, and was very envious. Yi Jin said: "The second sister-in-law is a blessed person. ”

Yulan couldn't help but feel sorry when she saw it.

The second wife invited the fifth wife to go to Kongshan Temple tomorrow to pray for the blessing of the heir brother and the engo.

After a few more words of comfort, Mrs. Fifth got up and took her leave. The old lady said, "You know that you are filial." But Brother En'er is not far away, so he will not come in the morning and dusk in the future. No one picks on you. But his eyes were on the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was slightly embarrassed: "No one will pick on it, no one will pick on it!" "It's a bit of a slap.

The old lady said this more than a dozen times, but the fifth lady still didn't pull in to ask for peace once.

The eldest lady has not been able to find fault.

The fifth lady thanked the old lady before resigning.

After being bustling for a while, the old lady was also a little tired. So they let everyone disperse. The Yang family's poetry is heirloom, and the girls naturally have to be more knowledgeable than other families, so they also want to open a school in the inner courtyard.

Yulan was about to leave after saluting with everyone, but the old lady said, "Sister Lan stays for a while." ”

Yulan reacted for a few seconds before she reacted, and the old lady called her.

She couldn't help but be surprised. There are a lot of granddaughters and grandchildren of the old lady, because her biological mother was a popular Qing person, and the old lady has always been very distant from her, why should she be left alone today?

remembered that my grandmother sent someone to ask me to come over in the morning to say hello last night, and it seemed that the old lady meant.

With Yulan staying, there are also the eldest wife and the second wife. Although the old lady let go of the two people to take charge of the inner courtyard, out of respect for the old lady, they still had to come every few days to report on their work, and some disagreements had to be ruled by the old lady.

Unless it is a very important matter, the old lady generally does not interfere with the rights of the daughters-in-law.

The old lady called Yulan to her side, reached out and took her hand, looking her up and down.

Yulan was seen by her for a while.

The second wife didn't leave, and the heir brother also stayed, snuggling up to the old lady, looking at Yulan with a pair of big eyes, full of curiosity and closeness.

The child's senses are keen, and he knows who is really good to him.

Yulan winked at him, and he giggled.

Yulan does like children.

The old lady took Yulan's hand, first asked about her condition, and then asked about the situation when she saved her brother's childhood.

Facing the No. 1 big BSS of Yangjia Inner House Co., Ltd., Yulan didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and answered one by one respectfully, behaving quite generously and decently.

Yulan gave his performance a score of ninety.

The old lady's eyebrows gradually relaxed. She is the granddaughter of Zhilu Dao, her biological mother died early, and she was rubbed by the eldest wife, and she developed a timid and cowardly temperament, which is not on the stage.

The old lady knew these things. Because she has such a mother, such a background, and such a beauty, the old lady is a serious character, respects the rules, and talks about her background, she has never treated this granddaughter very well, knowing that she has suffered so much but has been watching coldly, and has never said anything.

Today, I suddenly saw that this girl replied clearly, generously and decently, and her demeanor was less sincere and fearful in the past, and she had a faint and well-founded demeanor. Although I was a little surprised in my heart, I only thought that she was old and understood.

With such a foundation, after some training, you can also take it out to meet people. The old lady couldn't help but let go of half of her thoughts.

couldn't help patting Yulan's hand and praising again and again: "Sister Lan is older and sensible!" Zhilu Dao took care of his younger brother! ”

The second wife joked on the side: "Niece Lan, you don't know what to do." Brother Hei'er is not only the lifeblood of our second room, but also the lifeblood of the old lady! The old lady hurts and is our heir! As he spoke, he went to see the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

The old lady smiled and said to the second wife: "You are a short guard, one day you only know that there is an heir in your eyes." Brother Zu, Brother Ye, Brother Zong, and Brother En, which one is not my grandson? Which one is not my lifeline? ”

The second wife smiled and said, "Mother can still speak." It's not like me, who is clumsy and clumsy all day, and whatever is in my heart, I will say whatever I want, and there is no door on my mouth. ”

So everyone laughed.

After laughing for a while, the old lady saw that Yulan was wearing a half-old gown, because she was a little small, she looked cramped on her body, and at a glance, she knew that she had been washed many times, and then she only wore a silk flower on her body, and she didn't even have a piece of jewelry. I couldn't help but sigh secretly. said gently: "Look at your dress, it's too plain, and my half-buried wife in the loess is also brighter than you!" Luxury is not good, but it is also decent. After all, it is our Yang family's daughter, Miss, she should be a little miss. Your ancestors and fathers were officials in the court, and you have to take care of their faces, don't you? Is it possible that who dares to shorten your share and not succeed? ”

Yulan hung her head and said, "It's all granddaughter's inconsiderate thinking!" But in my heart I was like a mirror: where is this talking about her, this is clearly beating the eldest wife.

The second wife added a fire when she saw the stitches: "Old lady, you don't know what to do." Yesterday, my daughter-in-law went to my niece's yard, the place is small and remote, and the yard is desolate and withered, so it is really not good to eat and wear well! The mother-in-law and maids are also lazy, and they don't have the heart to wait, so they don't know how to be lazy. It's really pitiful that there is no mother and child! ”

The eldest lady's face is very ugly, Yulan should live and eat, and the eldest lady takes care of it, and the second wife is tantamount to saying that she "treats the concubine badly" in front of the old lady, the eldest lady secretly hates it in her heart, but the facts are irrefutable. I had to owe myself and say: "It's all daughter-in-law's trivial matters and neglect to take care of ......"

Yulan's heart moved, thinking about how to sue Wang's mother, but the opportunity came. Yulan got up, and the old lady knelt down in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" The old lady couldn't help but be stunned.

Yulan said: "Old lady, please let your granddaughter say a word for her mother." ”

The old lady said, "If you have anything to say, you don't have to do this." He instructed the maid to help him up.

Yulan got up, and the old lady asked her to sit in a chair. Yulan lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "The granddaughter is such a family, not to mention the love of grandparents and grandmothers, the second uncle, the second aunt, the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt are all loved, I was sick a few days ago, and the second aunt went to see me, a junior, and sent things, all of which are good." When the second lady heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

“…… Needless to say, my wife has never shortened me, and she treats me better than her own sister. He always taught my sister and me, saying that we are not young, and it is time for us to stand on our own. I didn't understand it before, but today I realized that my wife has good intentions. In this field now, the granddaughter is blamed for being confused, so that the villain is blinded...... The old lady must not blame the wife, how many things up and down in this house have to annoy her, I don't know in my heart, and I never say in front of her...... "The eldest lady is also cleared, and the eldest lady's face is softened."

The old lady couldn't help asking, "Where did the villain come from?" ”

Yulan said: "It's my yard housekeeper Wang's mother!" ”

The second wife interjected: "It turned out to be her, I went to see her last year, and it doesn't look like a rule." ”

Yulan said: "A few days ago, I told the girl Xiaoyu in front of me, saying that there has been no monthly case for two months, and I just woke up. called the mother-in-law to ask, but she just pushed and said, saying that my food and clothing are all in the public middle school, and I don't need the monthly money. He also said that he was still young, and he was afraid that someone would lure me and spend the money indiscriminately. So you want to help me save up, and when I'm older and have some money, I'll always pay ......it back to me."

The old lady patted the arm of the chair and said, "Such a bastard! It's really hateful! ”

Yulan continued: "...... In addition to the monthly rites, she even took out the clothes that the princess had given me and sold them for silver to subsidize her son. According to the law, the public middle school sent me four sets of clothes every quarter, and I only got two sets the first few times, and I also said that the law was like this, and I asked the girl to ask my sister and sister, only to know that I made this black-hearted woman greedy......"

The old lady said angrily: "The Yang family has such a bold servant? It's appalling! ”

The second wife sneered: "What a bully! The last time I asked about the mother-in-law, I said that the sister-in-law gave it to Lan's niece. I don't know if that's true? ”

The eldest lady was also angry in her heart, she had always been too lazy to pay attention to Lu Jingzhai's affairs, and only sent Wang's mother to go, and hinted that she should take care of Lu Jingzhai's affairs and not teach Yulan to live. But I didn't expect this old woman to be so bold and do such an outrageous job. I had to argue: "Mother Wang is also an old man I have used, looking at my loyalty, who knows that I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart...... How did she become like this, could it be that there was some reason why she couldn't be? ”

Yulan sighed secretly, no matter how much she didn't like the eldest lady, it was always no good to work against Bss like this. There are too many ways for my mother-in-law to clean up a concubine. She sued just to clean up Mother Wang and improve the living environment, not like even the eldest wife was brought down together, not to mention that it was impossible to bring down the eldest lady with such a little thing.

So he sold her personal favor and said, "Mrs. said yes." I sent someone to the outer courtyard to inquire only to find out that this mother-in-law had a son, who was also a responsible person, married a daughter-in-law, and guarded a few acres of land, enough for the family to chew. Who knows that he has somehow become addicted to gambling, and I don't know how much money he lost in that casino over the course of a year. Wang's mother's idea is enough for her to fill the hole. So Wang's mother also had such crooked thoughts...... It's because I'm young and ignorant, and I have nothing to do with my wife. ”

When the old lady saw this, her complexion was a little pale, and she looked at the eldest lady and said: "Who also has a time to look away, since it is the person around you, it is better to return it to you!" Just one point, don't let Sister Lan be wronged again. Thinking that the greedy money can't be recovered for a while, you also instruct the account room and needlework, this time Sister Lan is short of silver money, and her clothes will be made up first. ”

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief and got up. Yulan also thanked him again and again. But it was very unpleasant in my heart. Return Wang's mother to the eldest lady for disposal? Mother Wang is a big lady, doesn't this mean that there is no disposal? This is a bit different from my expectations. I thought about suing Wang's mother as soon as I sued him, and then asked for a favor in front of the old lady, and took my nurse from Zhuangzi. Who knows......

The old lady didn't want to lose face with her daughter-in-law at all! Also, after all, she is the niece of the Queen Mother! What are you?

Yulan couldn't help but feel a resentment in her heart. The old lady cares for her granddaughter, which is too cheap...... She didn't believe that the old lady didn't see that she was short of clothes until today! Then why did she suddenly change her attitude towards herself, if she couldn't figure this out, she couldn't take targeted measures in order to win the big benefits.

The old lady comforted Yulan a few more words, and suddenly asked, "I've been hearing from the lady of the boudoir that you write very well!" ”

Yulan's heart jumped, and she replied cautiously: "The granddaughter's qualifications are dull, she has just learned some skins, how dare she say good?" ”

The old lady instructed a big girl named "Xinghuang" next to her to bring a pen and paper.

After a while, the pen and paper were taken, and the old lady said, "Just write a few words to me, your mother, and your aunt." ”

Yulan respectfully agreed, and when she picked up the pen, countless thoughts turned in her heart. How should this character be written, is it better written or more ugly? What was it that the old lady suddenly asked her to write?

Xinghuang grinded a pool of ink, laid paper on the bookcase, and Yulan picked up the wolf's pen. This is a large block pen, which is used to write large characters. Yulan is strange, you must know that the bigger the brush words, the more difficult it is to write, the women's characters are generally beautiful and charming, the popular is Mrs. Wei's hairpin flower Xiaokai, and there are not so many women who are good at writing big characters.

After pondering for a while, Yulan splashed ink and wrote down the four big characters of Fulu and Suxi in one go.

The words are powerful, soft and graceful, and upright and upright.

When the old lady saw these words, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes.

The second wife did not hesitate to call out hello: "Although my aunt can't write anything, she also knows that her niece writes beautifully." The eldest lady had no choice but to praise a few words.

"The elders smiled." Yulan hurriedly humbled himself. These are all the foundations of the original owner. Although her biological mother has a humble status, she is really a strange woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since she was a child, she was taught to write, read, recite poetry and paint, and it is not surprising that she can write such words.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, and told Xinghuang to get a copy of the "Lengyan Sutra", and explained: "You also know that I am old, and the words on the Buddhist scriptures are dense, and I am getting more and more tired to look at them. I came up with the idea of finding someone to recopy the scriptures in large characters, which would be more convenient to look at. The eldest and a few of them are busy with external affairs, and the grandparents have a heavy academic load, so you sisters are suitable. So I asked the female gentleman, and said that you are a sister who writes well. Would you like to copy scriptures for your grandmother? Xinghuang had already taken the scriptures, and the old lady handed them to Yulan at her beckon. The old lady said gently: "When you have free time, you can copy the scriptures for your grandmother." ”

Yulan Daxi agreed. She certainly understood what that meant. The old lady's move is tantamount to wanting to tell everyone: Yang Yulan is my person, from now on I will cover it, and I will look at the owner first when I beat the dog in the future!

As for the large number of words just now, it seems that without Yulan, no one can help her copy the scriptures, who will believe it. Yulan is only a little older, and there are so many entertainers in the outer courtyard, and the words are well written.

The old lady gave a few more instructions, and finally told them to disperse, and when she was about to leave, she did not forget to remind the eldest lady: "Sister Lan is not young, it's time to take her around and see the world." ”

Yulan could hear the solemnity of the old lady's words. She really couldn't figure out where the old lady was. Could it be that she really changed her temper and wanted to compensate Yulan for her granddaughter?

The author has something to say:
