Chapter 261
"Really?" Yulan was also happy when she heard it. As the eldest daughter of the Yang family, Yumu married the original son of the Hou of Ji'an, and the current Hou of Ji'an, Lu Zhongheng. It was originally a very good family affair, but she didn't think that she was the same as the eldest wife, the heirs were more difficult, and she was pregnant in the second year of entering the door, and the Ji'an Hou family had great expectations for her stomach.
I finally gave birth to a daughter.
Because she hurt her vitality during childbirth, the doctor asserted that she would not be able to have children for three to five years. Lu Zhongheng was already old when he got married, and Yumu was in this case, so Lu Zhongheng's mother, Mrs. Wen, was in charge and stopped the medicine for the girl in Lu Zhongheng's room. wants the girl to give birth to a son to Lu Zhongheng.
Originally, this kind of thing was not uncommon in a wealthy family, but at that time, the eldest wife's aunt, the Queen Mother, was still alive, and the eldest lady was in high spirits, how could she see that the eldest daughter of the sweetheart was wronged like this, so the eldest lady made trouble with the Lu family.
Lu Zhongheng is going to inherit the entire Hou Mansion in the future, and for the inheritance of the title, he must have a son-in-law. Originally, the eldest lady discussed it with the old lady of the Wen family, but it may not be possible. As a result, the eldest lady relied on her identity as the niece of the queen mother, had an arrogant attitude, spoke unceremoniously, and pointed at the nose of the old lady of the Wen family to count the Lu family. said that their family style is not strict, and the sister-in-law wants to give birth to a concubine in the same room before he is born.
The eldest lady spoke very hard, and scolded the Lu family from top to bottom, and even the Lu family had a side child who was placed in an outer room outside, and the Lu family went to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, and these things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains were turned out and said.
Hitting people does not slap people in the face, and exposing people does not expose shortcomings. These words completely annoyed the Lu family and the old lady of the Wen family. I've long seen the big wife nouveau riche,
The old lady of the Wen family didn't look down on the eldest lady in the first place, and she was willing to marry this family affair because she completely took a fancy to the old lady's prestige in the officialdom. The eldest lady made a fuss, and she completely turned her face, threatening that if the eldest lady dared to meddle in her son's room at will, she would ask her son and daughter-in-law to reconcile. How can the eldest lady be willing, although a man can't marry a particularly good daughter-in-law after leaving, it is still possible to find someone who is almost inseparable.
But if a woman divorces and wants to find a good man, it will be several times more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The old lady of the Wen family was originally the daughter of the eldest sister of the eldest princess of Taizong, and she also had royal blood on her body, and she had a wide range of people, and she visited several clans and relatives and friends overnight, and soon this matter became known to everyone in the city, not to mention that the eldest lady was not responsible for this matter, and public opinion fell to the side of the old lady of the Wen family.
After the most incident, this matter came to the Queen Mother, and under the pressure of public opinion, the Queen Mother appeased Wen, and asked the eldest lady to apologize to Wen in front of the Queen Mother.
As for Lu Zhongheng's matter of asking his concubines to have children in the same room, unfilial piety is the greatest, and even the queen mother has no reason to object.
Originally, at the beginning, Mrs. Wen was going to stop the medicine for the two roommates in Lu Zhongheng's room and ask them to have children. One of these two rooms is a dowry brought by the eldest girl Yumu from her mother's family, and there is a deed in Yumu's hands, even if she gives birth to a son, she can't make any big waves.
But when the eldest lady made a fuss, the old lady of the Wen family directly gave Lu Zhongheng two concubines. These two houses are expensive, and they soon gave birth to sons when they arrived at the Lu family.
In this way, Yumu's position is very embarrassing. Originally, he was filial to his in-laws, respected his husband, inside and out, and behaved very decently. The Lu family is quite satisfied with her. After this incident, not only did her mother-in-law begin to put on a face for her, but even her husband was dissatisfied with her.
Originally, Yumu was the victim, but as a result, the eldest wife made a fuss, and the sympathy points that she should have received were gone.
As the wife of the prince, the old lady of the Wen family felt that she was the future hostess of the Hou Mansion at first, and she was entrusted to preside over the feed, but after Yumu gave birth to the child, she lingered on the sickbed for a long time, and the old lady Wen gave the right to the second daughter-in-law, Lu Ergrandma, to preside over it.
Because Yumu didn't have a son by her side, many people persuaded her to take her concubine to the main house to raise her, and even the eldest wife was a little shaken. She had suffered this loss, if she had taken Chengzong to the main courtyard earlier, her relationship with this child would not be so awkward now.
But Yumu withstood the pressure from all sides, and insisted that she didn't carry her concubine to the house, she was waiting, waiting for her body to recover, and waiting for the day when Lu Zhongheng inherited the title.
Sure enough, not long ago, Lu Zhongheng, the prince of the world, inherited the title and became the new Marquis of Ji'an. Yumu also became a newly baked woman. But because she didn't have the second grandmother's face in front of the old lady, she never took back the power of the housekeeper, and the Hou Mansion is still the second grandmother presiding over the middle feed.
It's just that at this time, Yumu doesn't want to have a son, and Lu Zhongheng is going to force her to give birth to a son for herself. Because Lu Zhongheng has no son-in-law so far, the concubine is not qualified to inherit the title, and the absence of a son-in-law means that either Lu Zhongheng will pass the title to his younger brother, or the Marquis of Ji'an Mansion will be taken away.
Originally, Lu Zhongheng was a little indifferent to Yumu over the years, but after becoming the Hou Ye, he spent most of his time resting in Yumu, after so many years, Yumu's body has been recuperated, and the husband and wife have worked together for so many years, and now Yumu is finally pregnant with a child.
"It's good that the eldest sister is pregnant with a boy!" Yulan knows a little about these details, and she also understands that Yumu is betting all her hopes on the child in her belly. Yumu grew up with the old lady, and was adjusted and trained by the old lady to become a real lady. Treat people generously, advance and retreat decently, and judge the meanness and stinginess of the eldest lady.
After Yulan got married, she walked around with her a lot, and she was very happy with such a sister.
Yumu and Yulan are not the same, she needs a son too much. That's why Yulan sighed like this.
Yulan asked, "How is the big sister now?" How many months is her child? Is there any joy? ”
Yu Jia's face sank slightly, and she said softly; "The eldest sister now lives in her own dowry Zhuangzi?"
"What?" Yulan was slightly startled when she heard this. The conditions in the Zhuangzi are not comparable to those in the city. It's okay to stay for a few days once in a while and get fresh air, but it's definitely not appropriate to stay there and raise a baby there. Where is the body is uncomfortable, it is difficult to find a good doctor. "Why did the big sister run to Zhuangzi?"
Yujia lowered her head, gently fiddling with the tea leaves in the pastel teacup with the lid of the bowl, her tone was very low, and she said slowly: "The eldest sister didn't dare to tell others that she was pregnant, so she secretly hid in the Zhuangzi to raise the baby under the pretext of checking the accounts on the Zhuangzi, and was ready to wait for the most dangerous time in the first three months before returning home!" Yujia paused, "Even the eldest brother-in-law doesn't know about it." Now the eldest sister only told me about it. ”
If a high-door woman is pregnant, if the month is too young, she is not sure, and she temporarily hides from the elders in the family, so she is afraid that it will not end well if she makes a mistake. But Yumu is absolutely not normal like this.
Yulan thought for a moment and asked, "Second sister, but what's the problem in the Lu Mansion?" Only this reason can explain why Yumu hid in Zhuangzi.
Yu Jia sighed and said faintly: "The old lady of the Wen family of the Lu family has a total of two sons, namely the eldest son Lu Zhongheng and the second son Lu Zhongli. Because the two brothers are siblings, their relationship has always been very good. Lu Zhongli is five years younger than Lu Zhongheng, and he is the youngest son of the old lady of the Wen family, so he has always been favored. In order to be afraid that her youngest son would be wronged, the old lady of the Wen family married Lu Zhongli to her niece, who is now Lu Er's grandmother. ”
"Since they have their own daughters-in-law between the big house and the second room, there have been some discord...... "The brothers were originally very good, but after marrying their daughter-in-law, for the selfish interests of the small family, there was a rift in their feelings, which is the favorite part of the eight-o'clock family ethics drama in the previous life, Yulan has encountered many similar examples in both modern and ancient times.
It is not uncommon to marry a daughter-in-law and forget her mother, let alone marry a daughter-in-law and forget your brother! It's just that there is always some reason for brothers to fight. What exactly are they for?
"When the eldest sister was Sister Huailan, it happened that Lu Er's grandmother didn't enter the door for a long time, the second grandmother was very good at being a person, and her father was an official in the household department, and her waist was also very tough, and she was very embarrassed in front of Wen's family. The old lady of the Wen family gave the power of the housekeeper to Grandma Lu Er! "Sister Lan is Lu Zhongheng's eldest daughter and Yumu's only daughter.
"Then the big sister had an accident...... It was just eight months old and suddenly gave birth prematurely, because the child was born very difficult because of the lack of months, and almost died in two bodies. Yulan's eyebrows were furrowed, and she was shocked: "Could it be that the eldest sister's premature birth was done by Lu Er's grandmother?" ”
The eldest sister has always been suspicious, but it didn't take long for the old lady Wen to stop the medicine for the eldest brother-in-law's room, and the eldest aunt went to the Lu family to make a fuss, and later the queen mother reprimanded the eldest aunt, which made the eldest sister's life in the Lu family very difficult. This kind of talk can never be said again. Yulan was speechless in her heart. Does the eldest lady hurt her daughter or hurt her daughter?
"That's how it went. When the eldest sister was out of confinement, Lu Er's grandmother used the excuse that Sister Lan was weak, and the eldest sister had to spend a lot of time taking care of Sister Lan, and she refused to return the power of the housekeeper. At this time, the eldest sister couldn't raise her head in her in-law's house because of the eldest aunt's affairs, so she didn't forcibly take back the housekeeping rights, and this delay has dragged on until now. Even Lu Er's grandmother refused to give up power when she gave birth. ”
Yulan tried to recall the image of Lu Er's grandmother. When I went out to socialize a while ago, I should have seen this Lu Er's grandmother, and she was very modest and polite in her impression, but when she heard Yu Jia say this, it turned out to be a little white flower-like character with a soft appearance and a vicious heart.
Yulan secretly sighed in her heart that none of these girls who were born and raised in the mansion were simple in these routines of fighting in the inner mansion since they were children.
Yulan asked: "Then this second grandmother Lu gave birth to a son?" ”
Yu Jia smiled bitterly: "She has such good luck that she gave birth to two sons one after another, so that the eldest sister can't even raise her head in front of Wen's old sweetness." She was also more favored by Wen because of this. ”
Yulan still didn't understand: "What is Grandma Lu framing the eldest sister for?" "If you want to say that the concubines are not convinced by each other, don't show that there are signs, so that you are dead and alive, and you can't even let Yumu give birth to a child, then there is something wrong.
Yulan's mind was racing: "Is it for the title?" "If you think about it, this is the only one that can be justified.
Yu Jia nodded: "Big sister has thought about it for a long time, and this is the only reason." Yulan also understood at once. The concubine has no right to inherit the title, and if Lu Zhongheng can't give birth to a son-in-law, then it is very likely that his title will be passed on to Lu Zhongli.
What Chengjue inherited was not only his social status, but also the Lu family's millions. In the past few years, the Lu family has not had outstanding children in important positions, but the Lu family's business has done a great job, and among so many wealthy families in Beijing, the Lu family is also ranked first in terms of money.
Otherwise, in the past, the eldest wife was picky, and she would not have chosen Lu Zhongheng as her son-in-law.
It's just that Lu Zhongheng is only five years older than Lu Zhongli, even if he doesn't have a son-in-law, when he is older, or Ji Anhou is unwilling to be a man anymore, then Lu Zhongli will have to wait at least a few more decades. By then, he would be old...... Unless, Lu Zhongheng died young, something happened, and he died suddenly......
Thinking of this, Yulan couldn't help but shudder. Lu Zhongheng and Lu Zhongli are brothers of the same mother after all, can Lu Zhongli really do such a thing? Or did he really have that in mind? The mere thought of this is chilling enough.
Yulan couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, everyone seemed to be full of flowers and harmony, and he didn't know how many twists and turns there were in the road, and how many conspiracies and calculations were hidden.
It's just ...... "Pregnancy is such a big thing, why does the eldest sister even hide it from the eldest brother-in-law?" She has also met Lu Zhongheng a few times, and although she can't say how good she is to Yumu, she always has at least respect. Yulan could see that he was not a wolf-hearted person.
Your own heirs should always pay attention to it, not to mention such an important heir!
Yu Jia sighed: "The eldest brother-in-law is very filial, if the eldest sister tells the eldest brother-in-law about her pregnancy, the eldest brother-in-law will definitely tell the old lady Wen." The old lady is very partial to the second son and the second grandmother Lu, if she knows the way, it is difficult to guarantee that the second grandmother will not know the way. When the time comes, it won't be good if Grandma Lu has any crooked thoughts again! ”
Yu Jia continued: "You don't know the way, one of the noble concubines in our eldest sister's room is the one who gave birth to the eldest son, the younger sister of Grandma Lu...... Over the years, the second grandmother has given a lot of stumbling blocks to the big sister, and our big sister is really not easy! ”
Yulan was also quite speechless when she heard it. Grandma Lu Er can influence the decision of the old lady of the Wen family to stuff her own sister into the eldest uncle's room, which is really not a good thing.
"Can't the eldest brother-in-law ......" and the eldest sister have the same heart? The mother-in-law is so critical of her because she can't give birth to a son, and there is a concubine in the room who gave birth to a son, not only the old lady's mother's family, but also the second grandmother is a sister, if the husband doesn't have a heart with her, then the rainy days will really not be able to live.
"Since the last time my aunt made trouble, the old lady of the Wen family has completely disliked our big sister. No matter how the big sister bows down and does small, the old lady refuses to give her a good face. "Thinking about it, Yumu has now become Mrs. Hou, and it can be seen that the housekeeper is still the second grandmother. Yu Jia sneered slightly: "In the hearts of men, I'm afraid that the mother and the child, which one is more important than the wife!" "If you can't get along with your wife, you can divorce or divorce your wife. Father and mother and children are constantly cutting family blood.
"The eldest sister's character is not bad, but it's a pity that she is a little too stupid!"
"I just hope that this time the eldest sister can give birth to her son safely!" Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, in this kind of family environment, even if Yu Mu can give birth to a son, it is not so easy to raise a fear safely.
The two of them talked for a long time, and the tea was cold. Yulan called Xiaoyu to come in and change the tea. Xiaoyue retreated, and Yu Jia smiled and said, "Look at me, how did I tell you this!" You're a man of two bodies, and you can't think too much......"
Yulan smiled: "If the second sister didn't tell me, I wouldn't know that the eldest sister of Lu Dao had such a difficult time." ”
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, before marrying out, who is not a gold and jade, once you get to your in-law's house, who can be happy." Yu Jia took a sip of Biluochun and said, "Our sisters are not badly married, but there are really few who can live a good life." He let out a long sigh.
Yulan asked her on this topic: "The second brother-in-law...... How are you doing? ”
Yu Jia sighed softly: "Your second brother-in-law treats me ......" The corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a slight arc, as if mocking, and as if helpless, "My mother-in-law gave him a room, and now he has been resting in several rooms for eight out of ten days." Yu Jia said lightly, without too much expression on his face, as if he was talking about someone else's business. She was originally a cold woman, but now she shows the pride she had when she was in her mother's house. "I knew in my heart that he didn't like that woman very much, he just didn't want to be in my room!"
"Why is that?" Yulan was taken aback.
"He doesn't want to have another child with me." Yu Jia said calmly. Yulan was silent for a while. The Yang family and the Ding family have now reached such a field, and they have cut off contact, and there is no way for Yu Jia to give birth to his eldest son before, and the Ding family may not want to see it.
It's that Ding's brother-in-law really loves Chongyujia, and he probably doesn't want to have another son, so he will grow up and be sandwiched between the Yang family and the Ding family, so that he will be angry.
This is understandable, but when it is actually done, it is difficult for people to accept. The lady of the main room has become an ornament, where does Yujia's face remain?
Yulan felt a little guilty in her heart, "Second sister, are I and the eighth sister meddling?" If you had promised to reconcile with your second brother-in-law and leave ......"
Yu Jia shook her head: "Since I have made this choice, I have never regretted it!" It's none of your business with the eighth sister. ”
She smiled faintly: "The Tongfang magpie that my mother-in-law gave me is now making rules with me every day." She thought that she was given by her mother-in-law, and she was a little more decent than others, so she wanted to be presumptuous in front of me, which was really funny. "Yujia and Yulan are not the same half-baked house fighters who are halfway out of the house, she was trained by the second wife with one hand and one foot, and she graduated from a regular house fighting university, and she has many more means than Yulan. Presumably, this magpie was not lightly treated by her.
“…… She was bent on stopping the drug and giving birth to a child by herself, so that she could take the opportunity to give birth to her aunt. How could I have done what she wanted? After all, I am the mother of the house, and I still have to say the things in this room. Even if the mother-in-law wants to intervene, she has to have the right reason! ”
Between women, it is a war without gunpowder. Whoever can win this war is the real winner in life.
Yulan wanted to comfort and comfort her, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
Yu Jia said to herself: "Speaking of which, thank you and the eighth sister, if it weren't for the two of you, one is the crown princess and the other is the princess, both of them are so important, and my mother-in-law is afraid that she won't have such scruples about me......" Now her mother's family is unwilling to support her, if she hadn't had two sisters who were so bullish, her mother-in-law wouldn't have just sent a room to Brother-in-law Ding.
Yu Jia said: "Of the four dowry maids I brought, three of them opened their faces and gave your brother-in-law a room, and I stopped the medicine for them, no matter who is pregnant and has children, but this magpie can't do it......" Yulan understood her thoughts. The mother-in-law gave a room that was more decent than an ordinary room. Even if there is a mistake to deal with, it must be returned to the mother-in-law.
If she is asked to give birth to a child and carry her aunt, she may become Yujia's henchman in the future.
"Of the three dowry maids, one of them has now been diagnosed as pregnant. I've already lifted her up as an aunt! The words were tepid, and there was not the slightest hint of displeasure or anger in his tone. Yulan was already dumbfounded.
Although it is the person who is pinched in the palm of his hand, Yujia's attitude is too generous, okay!
She cautiously asked, "Second sister, aren't you angry?" "My husband sleeps in someone else's room every day, sleeps out the child, and happily promotes her to be an aunt. Yulan felt unbearable when she thought about it.
Yu Jia asked her stunned: "What's so angry about this!" Since your brother-in-law does not want to rest in my room, there must be someone to serve him anyway, and it is better to let someone you trust serve him. So as not to raise tigers in the future. ”
She sighed and said, "You think everyone is as good as you?" There is no in-law above, there is no concubine in the middle, although there is a child around, but it is also a trouble-free, the prince's good to you is well known to everyone in Beijing, that is, you are pregnant, and the prince never enters another woman's house. Don't say that it is in the clan, even in the entire princely family of the Jingshi, there are few like this. ”
