Yu Jia said: "Isn't it! Back then, my mother said goodbye to her eldest brother, and she first took a fancy to the young lady of the Qiantang Jiang family, who knew that Lu Dao's relatives were almost done, just in time for the old lady to resign. The Jiang family found a reason to withdraw from this family business. ”

Yulan knows this matter.

The second wife really put a lot of effort into finding a good family affair for her son, and the family affair with the Jiang family was almost the same, so she sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. As a result, the Jiang family found a reason to withdraw from the marriage.

"Originally, my mother didn't have a brother and sister at the beginning......" Yujia was vague, Yulan didn't have to guess to know that the second wife must not have taken a fancy to the appearance of the eldest grandmother. Later, my grandmother thought that the two children were very good and wanted the eldest brother and younger siblings to kiss each other. ”

"My grandmother finally persuaded my mother, but the third aunt picked up the eldest brother, thinking that the family was thin for a while, and that the eldest brother was just a little talent!" The second wife and this sister-in-law do not agree, and Yulan has heard about it a long time ago.

"It's good that my grandmother pressed the third aunt, so she didn't mess up this marriage. Later, the eldest brother was lifted, and he was less than 20 years old, and Man Dachu couldn't find a few, so the third aunt had nothing to say. As a result, when the two matchmakers discussed the dowry and dowry, the mother originally thought that there was an heir behind the eldest brother, and she couldn't empty out the family all at once, so she wanted to discuss with the third aunt that we should have less dowry on our side and less dowry over there, and the younger brother and sister were nieces of the mother's family, so they would not be wronged when they arrived at the Yang family. ”

The Yang family is not as strict as the family of the minister, the old lady is strict in governing the family, several masters dare not let go of the silver, several masters in the family are all officials, no one does business to make money, and the second wife's marriage is not known how much Yulan does, but the annual income should not exceed a few thousand taels of silver. For a family like the Yang family, they get a lot of money just for a year, and the second wife is a face-saving person, so there are too many dowries, and the second wife really can't afford it. Originally, the other party was a member of his mother's family, and it was not negotiable when it came to the truth.

"As a result, the third aunt felt sorry for her daughter, and she spoke sneeringly, so she had to take out at least 20,000 taels of silver to marry her daughter, and the mother gritted her teeth and agreed!" Yulan understood after thinking about it, that time happened to be when the eldest master was making a fuss at home to let Aunt Liu enter the ancestral hall, and during that time, the Yang family was pointed at, saying that the Yang family was poor, and the second wife was also afraid, for fear of missing Miss Eleven, and her son would not be able to find a good one in the future, so he agreed to it.

"When my mother came home, she was so angry. Later, the marriage proposal was all stumbling, and none of them went well. When the scientific examination case came out, after the third aunt learned about it, it was even more troublesome at home, and she had to divorce her mother. ”

Yulan also admired the combat effectiveness of this third aunt: "After the Geng post has been replaced, the big and small decisions have been made, and even the marriage date has been agreed, just waiting for the marriage, and you want to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

"You don't know Lu Dao, there is a nephew on the side of the third aunt's mother's family, whose family is in Gaomi, Shandong, and has attacked the position of thousands of households in the guard, and has been operating for generations, but there are also thousands of acres of fertile land, rich for generations, and I have always wanted to marry a noble girl." Yulan understood, these three aunts felt that they had a spare tire for their nephew, so they had nothing to fear.

"It was my grandmother who called my third aunt to scold her, and my younger siblings resolutely refused to obey my mother's words and quit the marriage, so this matter passed." Yulan nodded when she heard this, no matter what, the eldest grandmother is still an understanding person.

"For this, my mother was so angry that she lay at home for several days, and even the third uncle held a grudge. She has been holding her breath in her heart, and she didn't have any opinion about her younger siblings now, but now she has become opinionated. When her younger siblings entered the door, her mother kept finding fault with her everywhere. "The second wife is not the kind of person who swallows her anger. This marriage is full of deflated anger, if she doesn't get some back from her daughter-in-law, then she won't be the second wife.

This is really a fight between immortals, and mortals have suffered. The third aunt made a fuss, and the ones who bear the bitter fruit the most have all become grandmothers, why is this the reason for the trouble! In this society, the mother-in-law wants to give her daughter-in-law a grievance, which is simply justified, and the daughter-in-law can be said to have no way except to suffer it. A big hat of unfilial piety will crush you to death.

Yulan couldn't help but feel infinite sympathy for her grandmother. He pondered and said: "Look at it today, my sister-in-law is generous and generous, and she is a good person to handle things decently." The family and everything is prosperous, the second aunt is not unreasonable, the second sister still persuades the second aunt, after all, this matter has nothing to do with the sister-in-law. ”

Yujia smiled bitterly: "You think I didn't persuade me, my mother scolded me." During this time, my mother is angry, and when she dissipates her anger in a few days, I will persuade her well. After a while, he said: "But my younger brother and sister are much stronger than my third aunt, not only docile and sensible, but also very knowledgeable, no matter how my mother shook her face, she endured it, how bad her words were, and she didn't say a word back." It won't be long before my mother will be able to come back to her senses, and she knows how good this daughter-in-law is! ”

Yulan believes this a little. The biggest difference between the second wife and the eldest wife is that the second wife has a big picture and the eldest wife does not.

The second wife's current style is a bit angry, and after two days of thinking about it, she probably won't be so kind to her daughter-in-law.

Yulan asked again: "What about the eldest brother and sister-in-law?" ”

Yu Jia smiled: "Don't worry. The eldest brother is a reasonable person. Marriage is better than getting married. The younger brother and sister are gentle and considerate, and the eldest brother has no opinion on this marriage. In the past few days, the eldest brother has seen that his younger siblings have suffered a lot of grievances from his mother, and he is even more gentle to his younger siblings. ”

Yulan was slightly embarrassed, is this considered "the lost harvest of mulberry elm".

"The eldest brother originally wanted to persuade my mother to dissipate her anger, so I asked me to persuade her." Yulan understood when she thought about it, and couldn't help but admire Yujia's ability to grasp people's hearts. The second wife is now angry with the eldest grandmother, and when she is angry with her, if Chengzu is mixed up in the past, maybe the second wife will suspect that the eldest grandmother is picking up Chengzu, and then give Chengzu a big hat of "forgetting the mother if you have a daughter-in-law", and the second wife is afraid that she will only hate the eldest grandmother even more.

For today's plan, as long as the third aunt's "-stirring stick" is not stirred, the eldest grandmother is respectful to the second wife, and there is no disobedience at all, and when the second wife is angry, she will naturally change her opinion of the eldest grandmother. It depends on whether the grandmother can keep the clouds open and see the moon.

It's clear when you think about it. Although Yulan sympathized with the grandmother, there was no way to help. After this topic was finished, the second girl fell silent, and slowly drank all the pots of Biluochun, but did not mention the reason for coming back.

Yulan couldn't help but feel anxious for her. After a few more gossips, Yulan kept waiting for her to speak, but Yujia suddenly said: "I still have something at home, or I'd better go first!" ”

She is like this, how can Yulan tell her to leave like this. She stood up, held Yu Jia's hand, and said in a sincere tone: "Second sister, we are all sisters, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Yujia's tears fell.

"What the hell is going on?" Yulan was surprised. Yujia is the daughter raised by the second wife in the palm of her hand, she has her pride, she has her self-esteem, she is born calm and self-controlled, and it is impossible to cry uncontrollably because of a little thing.

"Seventh sister, I'm really helpless!" Yu Jia choked, "My mother is angry, I don't dare to tell her, my eldest sister is pregnant for less than three months, and I don't even have anyone to discuss now, so I can only look for you!" But you're like this, how can you be embarrassed to bother you anymore as a sister! ”

"You sit down first. If there is anything, tell me slowly, if you can help, I will definitely help you! Yulan helped her sit down on the Taishi chair, and called the little maid to fetch water to come in, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Yujia herself, Yujia wiped her face, and the cold well water made her slowly calm down.

She calmed down and said slowly: "Since my father-in-law fell out with our family, my mother-in-law has been looking at me unpleasantly, picking her nose at me, sneering at me, and stuffing people into your brother-in-law's room. I endured all this, after all, I chose to live with your brother-in-law, and I didn't reconcile, so I expected this. But recently, the more she looks at me, the more unpleasant she becomes, and she actually wants to take Brother Ye to her house to raise. ”

Brother Ye is the only son of the second girl, because the two families have reached that point, although Brother-in-law Ding did not say it explicitly, he rarely went to Yujia's room to stay overnight, and the possibility of the two of them having another child is not very likely. Brother Ye has become Yu Jia's only hope in the Ding family, and Yu Jia really sees it as more important than his own life.

If Brother Ye is really carried to the old lady's room, it will really be like drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle, how will Yujia live in the future?

No wonder Yujia is worried like this!

Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future. Mrs. Ding's move is really ruthless. The key problem is that Yujia and Ben have no way to fight back.

Mrs. Ding stuffed people in the room she gave her, Yu Jia, as the main wife and mother, she has the right to manage the affairs in the room, and the maid stuffed in, even if it was because the old lady gave it, it was a little more decent, and Yu Jia always had the right to dispose of it. But this kind of carrying, carrying her grandson into her own room to raise, the old lady can be said to be completely unreasonable.

Keeping it in the old lady's room is more decent than keeping it in the daughter-in-law's room, and it will be better for the children to have a way out in the future. This kind of thing is very common in the family of the high-ranking family. And the old lady is old and wants to enjoy the joy of family, from the perspective of filial piety, she should take the initiative to send the child over.

So Yu Jia couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Yulan asked, "Then did you take the child to her to raise?" ”

Yu Jia shook her head: "I just happened to have a cold in the past few days, so I kept dragging it and didn't send it to her." She urged three times a day, and invited a national player specializing in pediatrics from Tai Hospital to come and see, but it couldn't be delayed for a few days. The second girl raised her head, her face full of haggard and anxious, "I'm afraid, the child is carried to her house, and I will never see the ...... again"

"You have a big belly now, you shouldn't have to worry about me, Seventh Sister, I'm really desperate, otherwise I wouldn't have the cheekiness to beg you! All I can think of now is to ask you to come forward and say a few words in front of my mother-in-law, you are the princess, and she always has to listen to what you say. ”

Yulan smiled bitterly, the second girl seemed to be really dizzy, and she went to the doctor for illness. I actually came up with this solution. This is trying to overwhelm people with power. "Second sister, this method doesn't work. It's not that my sister doesn't want to help you, but this matter is your family's housework, don't say it's me, even the queen, and I have no right to meddle in other people's housework! If I really told your mother-in-law, others would only say that I was overstepping, saying that the daughter of our Yang family was arrogant, and when she became a princess, she didn't know how many catties and taels she had, and she would take care of everything! It doesn't matter if my reputation is bad, I'm afraid that even the prince's reputation will be damaged. "The prince has to be detained with a big hat of "not governing the family strictly".

No matter how much Yulan thinks about her mother's family, she can't ruin the reputation of the prince.

Yu Jia doesn't understand these truths, but she cares about it. She really couldn't think of any other way, so she came up with this plan. When Yu Jia heard this, she only felt a burst of despair in her heart. "What then? So what to do? The tears that had just been wiped off were falling again.

Yulan was quite helpless, it wasn't that she didn't want to help Yujia, but she was also powerless. What's more, the way she is now, she is really a little powerless.

"Second sister, don't cry yet, let's discuss it well and see if there is any other way."

The girl handed over the handkerchief, and Yu Jia choked up while wiping her tears: "What can I do?" If it weren't for Brother Ye'er's illness, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my son for even a day! That old woman is ruthless, I'm afraid that she will ruthlessly do it to her own grandson in order to break me up with your brother-in-law! ”

Yulan was shocked: "This, can't it?" Brother Ye is her own grandson! ”

"What can't be. She has more than one human life in her hands! ”

"Huh?"

"I don't have a single aunt in my father-in-law's house now. When he was young, he also took a few concubines, and later all of them died inexplicably. I heard from the old people in the house, saying that there was an aunt surnamed Ma who was very favored by her father-in-law, and she was pregnant with a child when she entered the house, but one day she suddenly fell into the pond and died with one body. After so many years, my father-in-law's three sons and one daughter were all born by my mother-in-law...... Your brother-in-law and I can maintain this marriage, all thanks to Brother Ye in the middle, if there is no son, I can only reconcile with him, and my mother-in-law is probably happy to see it. What's more, when I just gave birth to Brother Ye, she was very happy with Brother Ye. But now, there is no longer the momentum that it had at the beginning! There are some things I can't help but think about! ”

Since Yulan crossed over, she has heard a lot of things about this kind of house fight, and the evil mother-in-law has also heard a lot, fortunately, she doesn't have a mother-in-law to wait, but she still thinks that Yujia is a little too much, after all, Mrs. Ding is Brother Ye's own grandmother, and the tiger poison does not eat children, with the importance of large families to their heirs, Mrs. Ding should not do such a thing.

It's just these thoughts, Yulan just turned around in his heart, and didn't say it to Yujia. Yujia and her mother-in-law are now at odds with each other, and they are also a little crazy, and it is estimated that she may not be able to listen to it when she says it. It's just that she pities the hearts of parents all over the world, Yujia's mood, she is very understanding of an expectant mother who is about to become a mother.

If you can help, you still have to help Yujia.

Yulan said: "Can you think of a way to ask your mother-in-law to take the initiative to give up this idea?" ”

Yu Jia shook her head: "My mother-in-law is not a person who easily changes her mind. She is afraid that she has been planning this matter for a long time, how can she give up if she says to give up. ”

Yulan had to use her brain, "She herself is unwilling to take the initiative to give up, so let's let her be forced to give up." He frowned and thought for a long time, and then asked Yujia: "Does your mother-in-law have anything you particularly like or are particularly in awe?" ”

"Something you particularly like or are particularly in awe of?" Yu Jia frowned and pondered: "She doesn't seem to have anything else except for her special fear of ghosts and gods." ”

"Fear of ghosts? What kind of reverence is it? Yulan's eyes sparkled.

"My mother-in-law worships the Buddha all the year round, not only has a small Buddha hall at home, but also goes to the temple on the fifteenth day of every month to offer incense, and every time she donates a large amount of sesame oil money." Yu Jia frowned and pondered: "I have been married for so many years, and my mother-in-law has always insisted on going to the temple on the fifteenth day of the new year to offer incense, unless there is a very important thing or a very important guest at home, there has never been a break!" Even if the weather is bad, he will send his mother-in-law to the temple to send sesame oil money. ”

"Then does your mother-in-law believe in Buddhism or Taoism?"

"Believe it all!"

Yulan's shadow flashed in his heart. "In this way, I have a way, let's discuss it and see if it is feasible."

Yujia went over with her ear, and Yulan told her idea.

"Is this possible?"

Yulan picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Okay, let's give it a try!" Even if it doesn't work, we have nothing to lose! ”

Yu Jia was still a little uneasy, "Zhang Tianshi and Imperial Doctor Gong are not ordinary people, how can they obey our dispatch?" Doing something for us? ”

Yulan said: "These people, we can't do it, but some people's words, they don't dare not listen." ”

"You mean...... "Yu Jia is also a very smart person, Yu Lan made a mouth shape, and she immediately saw that it was the word "crown princess".

Zhang Tianshi hugged the prince's thigh, and under the prince's appeal, the emperor had already sealed him the official title of Zheng Erpin, and that Imperial Doctor Gong also treated Yulan last time, if he guessed correctly, he should be the person in Yuxin's hands.

Yulan said to Yu Jia: "You hand over the sign into the palace early tomorrow morning, tell the crown princess about the way to discuss this matter with us, and ask her to help you with this." Strive to arrange everything before the first day of the sixth month, and when your mother-in-law goes to the temple by then, she will put on a good show for her, and then see if she obediently returns Brother Ye to you! ”

When Yujia heard this, a burst of hope ignited in her heart. Crown Princess Yuxin knows very well, she is the most cold on the outside and hot on the inside, if she asks her for this matter, she will definitely help. Originally, Yujia planned that if Yulan couldn't help, she would hand over a sign to the palace and ask her for help.

Yujia couldn't sit still anymore. "I'll go back and get ready!"

Yulan could understand her feelings, "Then I won't keep my sister." If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me, or send a personal maid to tell me it's the same. ”

Yu Jia thanked again and again, "Xie Lu Xie Seventh Sister helped me think of such a good idea. If this thing really happens, I don't know how to thank you! ”

Yulan said: "It's all my sisters, why are you talking about this?" The most important thing is that the second sister can keep Brother Ye by her side, and if you can have him under your knees, you can live this life! As he spoke, he sent Yujia out.

After coming back, he lay on the big kang near the window, leaning on the big pillow with his back, but his heart fluctuated, in this era, how could a woman have such a difficult time. Even Yujia, a proud daughter of the sky, knows the general knowledge of the way of advance and retreat, and even gave birth to a son, how can she live so unsatisfactorily?

Yujia returned home and thought about it all night, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Yulan's method was feasible. Early the next morning, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hand over the sign. However, in two hours, an attendant came to announce her entry into the palace. Seeing that the crown princess valued her mother's family so much, Yu Jia felt a little relieved.

The chamberlain led her into Yuqing Palace. Yu Jia made a national salute to Yu Xin, Yu Xin sat on the Luohan bed at the banquet by herself, invited her to sit on the Taishi chair, and the palace maids put down the refreshments lightly.

Yuxin's grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, uncle and aunt are in good health, and they asked about the marriage of their ancestors. Yujia told her that everyone in the family was fine, and the fifth wife's due date was June, and she was in good health now. I told the story of the marriage of my ancestors again.

Yuxin listened carefully, interjected from time to time to ask a few questions, and asked if the eldest grandmother was used to living in the Yang family. Yu Jia is not good at arranging her mother, she only says that everything is fine with her grandmother in the Yang family.

Yuxin said: "The palace is not allowed to go out of the palace, and when the second aunt and sister-in-law are free, ask them to come in, and also ask the palace to take a look!" ”

Yu Jia hurriedly said: "When I go back, I will tell my mother that I will tell her that she has brought her younger siblings to greet the crown princess!" ”

Yu Xin nodded. "The big brother gave the younger brothers a good start. My brothers are also getting married! ”

Yu Jia said: "Isn't it? It's a pity that the third brother couldn't participate in the palace exam this time, but fortunately, he is still young, and if he doesn't succeed this time, he will always be able to succeed next time. Last time, I heard my aunt say that she was helping her third brother find a family. After all, the third brother is Xie Yuan of Shuntian Mansion, and finding a good family is a sure thing. "I didn't mention anything about Chengye. Yuxin hated Yuxia to the core, and she didn't treat Chengye very well, so she didn't ask.

After a few pleasantries, Yujia relaxed. At this time, a little maid came over to change tea, and Yujia asked, "Why didn't you see the green branches?" "In the past, every time Yujia came, the green branches were serving by Yuxin's side.

Yuxin saw her ask about this topic, and her withered face also showed a hint of joy. "I let her out of Lu and married her to Daxing." Green Zhi listened to Yulan's advice, and after coming back, he thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to marry Lu. Yuxin was naturally happy, gave her a lot of money to marry, and married the green branch to Daxing in a beautiful way.

Green Branch came back to kowtow to her two days ago, and Yuxin saw that she was full of red face, and she was doing well at her husband's house, and she was also happy in her heart.
