Seeing that she was stubborn, Mrs. Ren was too lazy to preach her, and waved her hand to let the maids pull Ren Yaoyu out.

Kang's also went out with the support of Mama Gui.

Mrs. Ren returned to the house with a cold face. There was only Ren Yaoqi in the house, and the three sisters, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin, were there, and the three of them knew each other and did not speak.

Seeing that Mrs. Ren had summoned the big girl Jin Lian to come in and explain something, Ren Yaoyin invited Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi to talk in the warm pavilion where she lived, and Mrs. Ren waved her hand and let them go.

Not long after Ren Yaoqi followed Ren Yaoyin in, he heard someone coming in in a hurry outside, and then Ren Shijia's voice sounded outside.

Ren Shijia is already nine months pregnant, and she will give birth in less than a month. Because this fetus is not easy to come by, Ren Shijia pays great attention to it on weekdays, and generally only stays in his yard and does not come out easily. Mrs. Ren felt sorry for her daughter, and she didn't need her to ask for peace, but went over to see her every other two days.

Now Ren Shijia is coming over with a big belly, it must be for Ren Shimao and Lin's affairs. Ren Shijia and Ren Shimao are the closest in age, and they have been good since childhood, and later the Lin family married into the Ren family, and she married into the Lin family, and the relationship between the three became closer.

When Mrs. Ren saw that she came over with a big belly, she hurriedly asked the maid to help her sit down, and reproached: "What are you doing in a hurry now!" Be careful not to stir the tire! ”

Sure enough, let Ren Shijia say: "I'm here for the matter of the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law." Yesterday, the fifth brother ran to me drunk and drunk, and I sent two mothers-in-law to send him back, but I didn't want to turn him away from the fifth sister-in-law. ”

Old Lady Ren snorted lightly, she naturally knew about this. Originally, she was thinking about getting angry for an afternoon and a night. The Lin family should be able to turn their minds, they don't want to be so out of tune, and in the end, she asked someone to call Ren Shimao to live in the wing of Ronghua Courtyard.

"I sent a maid to my fifth sister-in-law to see her, and I heard that she cried all night and her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she didn't eat today. I was a little worried, so I went over and took a look. I don't want to see her directing the mother-in-law and maid next to her to clean up her things. Said he was going back to his parents' house. Ren Shijia was a little worried about her brother and sister-in-law.

When Mrs. Ren heard this, she was indifferent, and only said indifferently: "If you can go back to your parents' house to live, she can naturally go back to her parents' house, otherwise it doesn't seem that our family is mean to our daughter-in-law?" We persuaded her, but she couldn't listen, so let the people of the Lin family persuade her and maybe figure it out. ”

"But this matter is still the fifth brother's fault after all. If the fifth sister-in-law goes back like this, the Lin family is afraid that she will have an opinion on the Ren family. "Ren Shijia is still the wife of the Lin family after all, no matter what, the big house and the second room have not been separated. She was the most reluctant to see the Lin family and the Ren family have a stalemate at this time.

Mrs. Ren understood her daughter's worries and comforted: "Don't worry about this matter, I have my own arrangements." At the Lin family, I sent someone to deliver the news early this morning, and I also said that I would let Shi Mao come over to ask for guilt in two days. However, according to the temperament of the eldest wife of the Lin family, someone will probably be sent over later, maybe she will meet your fifth sister-in-law. ”

Ren Shijia was stunned: "Mother, you have already sent someone to the Lin family?" I thought you ......"

Ren Shijia thought that Mrs. Ren had an opinion on the Lin family and the Lin family because of her affairs, so she deliberately gave the Lin family and the Lin family no face.

"In any case, this meeting still needs to be sufficient." Old lady Ren said.

Other words. She can secretly give Lin Shi anger. However, there have been a lot of interests involved between the Lin family and the Ren family over the years, and it is unrealistic to turn their faces now, so they must let the Lin family get by on the surface. This is also what the old lady Ren has repeatedly instructed her.

Ren Yao. Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin sat quietly in the warm pavilion. Because it's almost summer, and the weather is getting warmer, for ventilation. The heavy cotton curtains used in the house for autumn and winter have been removed and replaced with light-colored tulle curtains, so it is not difficult to hear the voices of the mother and daughter over there.

Mrs. Ren didn't think of sending the granddaughter inside, so they quietly listened to the conversation outside.

Ren Shijia said: "Mother, do you really want to let that Kang enter the door?" ”

Old Lady Ren said unhappily: "What do you care about doing this?" Even if she stays, she's just a concubine, and no one is in the way! ”

Ren Shijia glanced at her mother, she didn't trust the old lady when she was young, she didn't care about these things. Don't they have an aunt in their family?

Mrs. Ren didn't know about her daughter's belly, so she only said: "Instead of other people's idleness, you should think about your own affairs." How did you think about the candidates I told you? ”

Ren Shijia knew that the old lady Ren asked about her choosing a room for Lin Kun, and her face really fell. These days, because she was about to give birth, Mrs. Ren didn't mention that thing again, which made her sad. However, she still said sullenly: "Didn't you say that you should help me choose, my mother's vision has always been good." ”

Mrs. Ren nodded: "The golden lotus girl next to me is good, she looks good and is not outstanding, and her temperament is also gentle." Her old son and mother are all responsible people, and she has a younger brother who works as a partner in the Tongzhou coal store. In a few years, if you think she can still be trusted, you will transfer her younger brother from Tongzhou back to Yunyang City as a second steward in your name, and the future of their family will look at you, you will be equivalent to her maiden family, and she will naturally be obedient to you. And then there's the younger maid named Aoyagi, who is fourteen years old this year. When her mother was young, she was a second-class maid in my yard, but her father remarried another one sooner. Because her stepmother is a powerful person, she is closer to her brother and sister-in-law who brought her up. ”

Ren Shijia listened quietly, repeating the same sentence: "Which one does my mother think is better?" ”

Mrs. Ren sighed: "Both are good, but it still depends on whether you give birth to a boy or a girl." ”

Ren Shijia touched his abdomen and looked up puzzled: "What does this have to do with my child?" ”

Old Lady Ren glared at her: "Why doesn't it matter?" Do you think that I spent so much effort to pick a girl for you on purpose to block your heart! I'm not here for you and the child in your belly! If you give birth to a girl, then pick Jin Lian, she can get pregnant when she enters the door at the age of seventeen this year, and she can give birth to a boy for you and your aunt as soon as possible, so as to block other people's mouths. If you give birth to a boy, then pick a younger Aoyagi and take it with you for a few years. Don't let her get pregnant for the time being, wait until your child is older before letting her have a baby, and become a help for your son in the future! ”

It turns out that there are so many twists and turns in picking a maid in the room? Ren Shijia couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, she also realized Mrs. Ren's good intentions. Only a biological mother would do this for her daughter.

Ren Yaoqi, who heard these words, couldn't help but sigh.

Because of what the old lady Ren and the old man Ren did in the previous life, she thought that they only had interests in their hearts, and they had no feelings for their children and grandchildren. However, I found out today after listening to Mrs. Ren's plan for Ren Shijia. Mrs. Ren may not be completely cold-blooded to her children, and she will still try her best to plan for her children without violating the interests of the Ren family.

Outside, Mrs. Ren and Ren Shijia said a few more words, and then seemed to suddenly remember that there were three granddaughters in the warm pavilion, so they stopped talking and called Mama Gui to come in and bring Ren Yaoqi out.

When the three of Ren Yao came out. Ren Shijia's face was a little embarrassed, but Mrs. Ren's face remained unchanged, and she ordered Mama Gui to send them out.

Wait for my niece to leave. Ren Shijia complained in a low voice: "Mother, the children are still there, didn't they hear all the words we said?" ”

Old Lady Ren said lightly: "What child? It's not small. The third girl and the fourth girl are about to talk about their in-laws, and they should learn these things slowly. ”

Saying that, Mrs. Ren glared at Ren Shijia, nodded at her forehead and said, "I regret very much that I spoiled you back then, and this didn't let you know the way, and it didn't let you know the way, I always thought you were still young." It's not good to know some things too early, but the last thing is to raise such a character as you! I kind of understand, when I raised my daughter, I didn't want her to worry about everything. After marrying my daughter, I have to worry about everything! How can I live so long? ”

It turned out that Mrs. Ren hadn't really forgotten that there were still three granddaughters in the warm pavilion in the inner room, and the reason why she didn't send them out was because she thought that Ren Yaoyin and Ren Yaohua were old, and it was time to learn the methods of these inner houses.

There are some things that are not easy to teach now. It may not be a good idea to let them hear and see.

When Mrs. Ren was older, she remembered that her mother seemed to have taught her that. It's a pity that she didn't use her only daughter, so that she still has to worry about her when she is old.

Ren Shijia originally came to talk to Mrs. Ren about Ren Shimao and the Lin couple, but she didn't want to be taken away by Mrs. Ren to take the topic away.

When the three sisters of Ren Yaoqi came out of the Ronghua Courtyard, they heard a mother-in-law and a maid quietly discussing outside, saying that the fifth lady had ordered someone to prepare the carriage and was about to take the eighth lady back to her parents' house together.

Because Lin's son was going to study in the outer courtyard, Old Man Ren was strict with his grandchildren, so she didn't take her son away.

“…… The fifth master is really a good person, and the public softly begged the fifth wife to stay, but the fifth wife pointed at the fifth master's nose and scolded, leaving no affection at all. Hey, the old lady doesn't say anything here, and no one else dares to go up and stop Mrs. Five......"

The mother-in-law who spoke looked up and saw several young ladies walking out, so frightened that she immediately shut up and stood aside.

Ren Yaohua said lightly: "Don't you all have to be on an errand?" Are you so idle that you come out and break your mouth? ”

Several mothers-in-law and maids hurriedly confessed and retreated.

After separating from Ren Yaoyin, Ren Yaohua said, "Grandmother doesn't stop the fifth aunt?" She just went back like this, and the Lin family really wouldn't have an opinion? ”

Ren Yaochi smiled: "What is your opinion?" Didn't Grandmother let us lead by example? The Ren family is so thoughtful about the heirs of the Lin family, how can the Lin family be embarrassed to help them marry their daughter who is unreasonable? ”

This is also the reason why Mrs. Ren took out the room prepared by the Ren family for Aunt Lin Kun at this time. In order to block the Lin family's mouth. At this time, even if the Lin family sent someone here, the old lady Ren would not have any good intentions.

Why can her daughter endure it, but other people's daughters can't? She automatically ignored the fact that the Lin family had already given birth to a pair of children.

Presumably, the Kang family was able to be agreed to enter the Ren family so smoothly, and it was also because the timing of her appearance was just right. Mrs. Ren is angry with the Lin family, and her daughter is suffering so much, and she has to add to the Lin family's heart.

If even these are calculated by others, then the people behind the design of the Lin family are really terrible.

Ren Yaoqi told Ren Yaohua what he thought of, and Ren Yaohua couldn't help but feel a little incredulous: "You mean that these are very likely to be designed by Aunt Fang?" How is this possible? You think too highly of her, don't you? ”

Do you look high? Ren Yaochi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Gao didn't look at Aunt Fang, she didn't know what to do, she only knew that the people of the Ren family in the previous life of Lu Dao were unlucky, but Aunt Fang abandoned the broken boat of the Ren family in time to find a way to live for herself and a pair of children. That's it alone. Aunt Fang is an existence that should not be underestimated.

Ren Yaohua still didn't believe it: "It's just an aunt, if she is really so good, why did she end up as a concubine?" ”

Ren Yaochi thought that if he wanted not to eat Aunt Fang's secret losses in the future, it was very necessary for Ren Yaohua to realize how terrible the enemy he despised was.

"The weather is good today, third sister, how about we go for a walk in the yard?" Ren Yaochi proposed with a smile.

Although Ren Yaohua didn't understand why Ren Yaoqi was so leisurely and wanted to take a walk today. Still nodded and did not refuse.

Ren Yaochi instructed behind him: "You guys go back first, just leave Parsley and Apple to follow." Walking in the yard of his own house, there are still a bunch of people dragging behind him, and he is not interested. ”

So except for the two maids, the rest of the mother-in-law and maids were sent away.

Ren Yaohua glanced at the apple standing side by side with Parsley. He asked, "This is the maid you picked out?" Why don't you look very clever? ”

Ren Yaohua has to be smart and clever when choosing a maid, but Ren Yaochi doesn't think that a maid must be perfect to use.

However, everyone has their own habits, and Ren Yaoqi is not easy to say. only said: "She is just quiet, not wooden." She herself is still very satisfied with the apple maid.

Ren Yaohua just said it casually, and when she saw Ren Yaoqi say this, she didn't find fault with her maid.

The parsley who followed behind secretly made a grimace at the apple, and the apple was still that honest look, which made the parsley feel that this girl was really as boring as her master said.

"Third sister, you just said that if Aunt Fang is really as powerful as I said, she won't be a concubine. That's because you're reversing cause and effect. When he was standing in the lotus pond, Ren Yaoqi said softly.

This season. Although there are no lotus flowers in the lotus pond, the lotus leaves have been covered. The warm wind blew, and there were green waves in front of me. It makes people feel refreshed.

Ren Yaohua is in a good mood. Hearing this, she only turned her head and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, asking her to continue.

"Aunt Fang's current situation is already the best ending that she could get with her strength back then. You've probably heard about the fate of your aunt and grandmother's other concubines. ”

Ren Yaohua thought about it and disagreed: "I know that Aunt Lu Dao's grandmother's concubines are not well married. But there are also people who marry people to be the main family, right? Isn't it better than being a concubine for our family? ”

Ren Yaoqi smiled when she heard this, and blinked: "Third sister, what are you ...... Do you spend the belly of a villain with the heart of a gentleman? ”

Ren Yaohua glared at her: "What a mess!" ”

Ren Yaochi shook his head: "There are women in this world who feel that reputation is the most important thing, and there are also women like Aunt Fang who feel that getting benefits is the most important thing." ”

Ren Yaohua has no way to refute this sentence, marrying a poor or unbearable person as a wife or marrying a decent and wealthy person as a concubine, different people have different choices.

"Aunt Fang, the reason why she is so comfortable is because she has a reliable brother. Her younger brother Fang Yacun heard that he had just been promoted to the state of Chuzhou from the sixth rank a while ago, and he was very appreciated by his boss, and he was expected to be promoted again in the past two years. ”

"I've also heard that it's a promotion, but it's just a local deputy position, and it's still from the south, so what does it have to do with us?"

Ren Yao knew about the affairs of the Fang family, some of which she asked Mama Zhou about, and some of which she remembered in her previous life.

"But you forgot the relationship between the Fang family and the Ren family. And now the Ren family wants to open a coal stack in the south, and it is indispensable to deal with the locality, although the state is not the chief official of a continent, but it has real power. This Fang Yacun is not incompetent, I am afraid that in a few years, the Fang family will have the final say, and the aunt and grandmother are old and their own son is delirious. Don't look at the current family, she is still in charge, wait a few years and you will see. ”

When Ren Yaohua heard this, he also thought about the relationship carefully, and found that what Ren Yaoqi said was not unreasonable.

And Fang Yacun was able to be picked by his aunt and grandmother at the beginning. It's because of Aunt Fang's relationship. If she hadn't taken the initiative to marry into the Ren family as a concubine, and deliberately let her aunt and grandmother hold her, who was her sister, in the palm of her hand, how could her aunt and grandmother rest assured that she was planning for Fang Yacun? Although Aunt Fang was also good at drilling camps, because of their status, their sisters and brothers could only rely on their mother's breath to live. ”

"It can be said that without Aunt Fang, there would be no Fang Yacun today, and today's Fang Yacun is Aunt Fang's biggest backer. Presumably, my grandfather and grandmother also saw the future situation of the Fang family clearly, so they would be so tolerant of the other aunt. Let her status in the Ren family be transcendent. The future Fang family is likely to be the younger brother of Aunt Fang's mother-in-law. The coal stacks in the south of our Ren family are all somewhat involved with the Fang family. ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't figure out why Aunt Fang could monopolize a courtyard with one aunt, and she could manage the affairs of their three rooms instead of the Li family, and she could show her face in front of the guests during the New Year's holidays.

It wasn't until later that she figured it out. It's not that their grandfathers and grandmothers are dizzy, or that Aunt Fang is likable, but because the interests of the Ren family and the Fang family are involved.

As long as the Fang family does not fall. Fang Yacun successfully took over the Fang family, so Aunt Fang would not fall in the Ren family.

Ren Yaohua thought about it slowly, and gradually figured it out, and it was rare that her forehead was sweating, and she muttered, "Is this the case?" ”

Ren Yaochi sighed: "This reminds me of a story about cutting meat and feeding eagles." A young man picked up a young eagle when he was struggling to survive in troubled times, and he was barely able to survive even himself, and there was no extra ration to feed the eagle, so he cut his own meat for the young eagle to eat every day. Later, the eagle grew up. turned out to be a divine eagle, not only saved the boy from the tiger's mouth several times, but also became a magic weapon for him to win when he went out to fight. ”

Look at the blue sky in the distance. Ren Yaochi said slowly: "If you dare to give up, you can get it, but how many people in this world can have the courage of this young man to cut meat and feed the eagle like this?" ”

"Aunt Fang......" Ren Yaohua frowned and spit out a name.

After being silent for a long time, Ren Yaohua said, "If she is so temperamental. Can an ordinary concubine in the Ren family's three rooms satisfy her? ”

Ren Yaochi did not answer.

In the previous life, Aunt Fang became the de facto master of the inner courtyard of their three rooms, but unfortunately the Ren family was unlucky soon after, and Aunt Fang had no chance to get anything from the Ren family.

She is a knowledgeable person, an ambitious person, and her desires are endless. This desire will drive her to keep fighting for it, and all obstacles that stand in her way will be swept away by her.

Ren Yaoqi originally thought that pulling the Lin family into the game and letting the Lin family and Aunt Fang face each other might be able to divert Aunt Fang's attention. I didn't want the Lin family to be solved by her so quickly after facing Aunt Shang.

This also reflects Aunt Fang's scheming and action from the side. Presumably, Fang Yacun has always felt guilty and grateful for this sister, and his help must be indispensable for this.

"It was too simple for me to think before." Ren Yaohua said softly, "When the fifth aunt was unlucky, I was still gloating. Thinking about it now, we can't let the fifth aunt lose like this. ”

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, although Ren Yaohua was not stupid, he liked to act according to his own preferences, and he couldn't suffer losses or grievances. This time, she would actually think of helping the Lin family, whom she hated, in order to achieve the goal of containing Aunt Fang.

I have to say that this is Ren Yaohua's progress. It's not in vain that she specially called her here and said so much to her.

"Then how do you want to help Aunt Five?" Ren Yaochi asked with a smile.

Ren Yaohua thought for a while and shook his head: "Where do you say that you can help if you help?" And I'm not helping her, I'm helping ourselves. ”

Ren Yaohua can understand this, Ren Yaoqi is relieved, this is also the purpose of her deliberately telling her these things today.

Ren Yaoqi said: "This matter is not in a hurry first, not only the grandmother and the fifth aunt, but also the Lin family and the Ren family also need a buffer and calm period." After all, the interests of both families are involved. ”

"Wouldn't that be more complicated?"

Ren Yaochi shook his head: "Once interests are involved, everything can become very complicated, and everything can become very simple." On the other hand, if it is just a matter of preference, it will be much more difficult to deal with. ”

Ren Yaohua didn't understand this, but she heard that it was not impossible, and somehow she was relieved.

Ren Yaochi didn't say much, but said, "Isn't the fifth aunt going back to her parents' house?" Then let her go back first. According to her temperament, staying in the house at this time will only give people an opportunity. ”
