Chapter 160: Opportunity
Wen Xueyi and Jin returned to the fourth room, the mother and daughter sat down to talk, and Wen Chunyi consciously avoided it. She went to find Wen Xiuyu and Wen Xiujun brothers to talk, Wen Xiujie got up too early in the morning, and this meeting had already rested with peace of mind. Wen Xiuyu and Wen Xiujun looked at Wen Chunyi's inquiring look, and the two looked at her with funny expressions.
Wen Xiujun said with a smile: "Xueduo, as soon as the sky dawned, more than ten of our brothers came to greet people. The people of the Ma family, in front of us, as long as they are not stupid, even if they only treat their sister well, they will be very satisfied. Wen Xiuyu glanced at Wen Xiujun and did not deny his statement. Wen Xiuyu is older, and she has studied in an outside academy over the years, and her vision and knowledge have increased a lot, coupled with a background like Sifang, her views on some things are not so superficial. This time, he took a closer look at the expressions of several concubines and found that all of them were women who could not be underestimated, smiling brightly, but there was not much smile in their eyes.
In the room, the Jin family interrogated the personnel of each room of the Ma family, and Wen Xueyi smiled and said: "Mother, when I saw my family yesterday, my father and mother promised to separate the family in a month. The ladies don't get along well, and they and I have only been under the same roof for a month. I saw that my eldest brother and sister-in-law were both responsible people, and they were selfish but not greedy people. "In a family, the most important thing is the behavior of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Wen Xueyi didn't say how sharp her eyes were, but after being trained by Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen, she still had three points of eyes when she looked at people.
Wen Chaoqing and the brother-in-law of the Ma family came back and took Wen Xueyi to the big room by the way. Jin stayed and waited for Wen Xiujie to wake up, and then said that she could ask about everything she could ask, she had already asked. Wen Xiuyu and Wen Xiujun followed to the big house, and Wen Xueyi stayed with the Jin family. The courtyard of the big house was lively again, and the Wen Chaohong brothers entertained the new aunt very carefully, and Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen accompanied Wen Xueyi to talk. Grandma Wen asked Wen Xueyi with a smile: "Eighth sister, can your mother-in-law get along well with several sisters-in-law?" Wen Xueyi replied with a smile: "I treat them according to the etiquette taught by my sister-in-law, and I think they are all very good people to get along with." ”
Mrs. Wen glanced at her, shook her head with a smile and said, "You are a newcomer to marry." How easy it was to get along initially. Grind slowly. Wen Xueyi smiled slightly, it is difficult to find such a transparent mother-in-law as Mrs. Wen in this world, she not only treats her eldest son and daughter-in-law as friendly and close as a daughter, but also treats her daughter-in-law lightly. Her mother-in-law. Look, it's a woman who likes to be in charge of a qiē. Sometime. Separated. As close as she could, she had to be prepared to welcome her to patrol anytime and anywhere. Something, say it. It can't solve the problem, so it's better to wait as it comes.
After noon, Wen Xueyi and his wife left according to custom, Jin looked reluctant, Mu Ran followed everyone back to the main courtyard, and was dragged by Wen Xiujie to the door of the four-room courtyard. She stopped at the gate of the courtyard and said to her worried children, "Your sister has married and has her own home, and in the future, you will be her mother's family." Wen Xiuyu worriedly stretched out her hand to help her and said, "Mother, on the day my sister and brother-in-law break up, I will accompany you to Ma's house to listen to the news." Kim shook his head and said, "No." More is better than less, we go to the Ma family, and we can't change the decision that the Ma family has already made. ”
Wen Xueyi married into the Ma family for the first time, although when the family was separated, it would suffer some losses because of this, but the victory was that the husband and wife were still young and had the heart to work hard, so why not create their own family business. Mrs. Wen has already told the Jin family these things, saying that the Ma family has already revealed rumors, the Ma brother-in-law is the youngest, and the Ma family is not a rich family, so they can only give their husband and wife a house to live in, and then receive two months of food. There are other things that young people can earn on their own. Mrs. Wen thinks that this is fine, she doesn't want more things from her parents, and in the future, when she gets along with her brother and sister-in-law, a young couple will not feel inferior everywhere.
The four-room flowers were blooming for several days, and the day after Wen Xueyi returned to the door, the housekeeper gardener brought someone to carry the flowers, and he was a little embarrassed to greet Wen Chaoqing and said, "Fourth master, these flowers have to be moved to the warm house and raised." Wen Chaoqing waved his hand happily and said, "You guys move away, my children are the most impatient to raise flowers." The housekeeper and gardener knew these things, Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun's sister and brother had a relationship with him, and their various problems turned him into a master of growing vegetables. The housekeeper gardener said with a smile: "The eighth young lady and the sixteenth young master want to divide the thoughts of planting vegetables into half and plant flowers, and in a few years, I will be willing to bow down." ”
Wen Chaoqing smiled, looked at the housekeeper and said, "I found a few jars of rice wine outside, I remember that you like this kind of wine, do you take one with you now, or will you come back to get it later?" The steward gardener glanced at the busy people and whispered, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll come back to get it later." "Wen Chaoqing has a good temperament, and he manages the affairs all the year round, so he gets along well with the male stewards. However, he only became friendly with the housekeeper gardener, or because of a pair of children growing vegetables. Wen Chaoqing has been walking outside for many years, and he has long lost the idea of being dustless under the tall eyes of a scholar.
Living, how to live well, sometimes is more real than a vain face. Wen Chaoqing understands reality better than his brother, and he comes into contact with too many people who work hard to be alive. The Jin family is a concubine, and in her bones, she does not have such a strict concept of nobility and cheapness. Because of their similar concepts, the husband and wife have gotten along more and more complement each other over the years. In Wen Chunyi's eyes, this couple is now in love. The children are all older, and they don't need to be taken care of by the Kim family as much as they did when they were young. If the husband and wife can regain the passion they never had when they were young, the Kim family will not have that heavy sense of loss.
The fourth room fell silent again, and the third room began to be lively. Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen took the initiative to come to the third room and asked if Mrs. Wen needed help. In addition to being grateful, Mrs. Wen still declined the kindness of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen left for the fourth room, and Grandma Wen looked back at the courtyard door of the third room, and said softly: "The third aunt's heart is quite high. Mrs. Wen glanced at Grandma Wen with a smile and said, "When your third uncle was young, he treated your third aunt quite attentively. It's just that your third aunt's heart is too high, and it finally chills your third uncle's heart. ”
Mrs. Wen didn't say it clearly, Mrs. Wen always looked down on Wen Chaolei's identity as a concubine, and the husband and wife always got along with each other, and when she figured out that she had to rely on her husband after all, Wen Chaolei had happily helped the two girls given by Mrs. Wen as aunts. Husband and wife can no longer get along as they did in the early years. Mrs. Wen secretly hated Wen Chaolei's words and deeds of slapping her face, and Wen Chaolei was disappointed that she had a bad vision when she was young. Mrs. Wen herself was in a tangled predicament all those years, she could see the entanglement of others clearly, but she didn't have the strength to reach out.
What's more, the affairs of the husband and wife can only be thought out clearly by each other, and sometimes there is really no room for outsiders to interfere. Seeing that the eldest lady was no longer speechless, she was naturally embarrassed to continue to inquire about the private affairs of the elders. She smiled and said: "Mother, I see that the relationship between the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt is very good, when they were young, did they fall in love with each other and then settle on a family affair?" Mrs. Wen has been in a good mood recently, and she is also happy to answer Grandma Wen's questions, she smiled and shook her head, explaining why Grandma Wen has been confused, why the other two uncles are married to concubines, and he is the only one who married concubines.
Mrs. Wen sighed and said: "When they were young, the two could only say that they got along well. Your fourth uncle has his careful thoughts and plans, and your fourth aunt treats him, and she also hides half and half of it, and thinks about it in private, and earns money from the girl who is released by guò. Later, your fourth uncle broke up two rooms, and the husband and wife respected each other a little. The children they gave birth to were smart and clever, and even the most unbearable spring spirit spread outside was the kind of people who were wise and foolish. Both of them are good people, and if they have the heart to get along, they can naturally get better. "Mrs. Wen is actually a little envious of the Jin family, that is an honest person who only knows how to keep his head down and run towards a better life.
Mrs. Wen and Grandma Wen entered the courtyard of the fourth room, and looked at the empty courtyard, and the two of them frowned slightly. Grandma Wen was a little unhappy and said, "Fourth aunt, I will go out and tell them to send a few more plates of blooming flowers, and this courtyard should be well decorated." Jin hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, I, your fourth uncle and your brothers and sisters all like such an empty yard." According to Jun'er, there is no need to worry about bumping in and out. "The people in the fourth room are used to entering and exiting the road facing the sky, and they are really not used to squeezing the path in and out from the pile of flowers.
Seeing the sincerity of the Jin family, Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Since your family likes this kind of scene, then you don't need to bring some flowers to attract people's eyes." Kim welcomed them into the room and talked, and discussed the five women who had been left behind, who had nowhere to go back, and who had to be properly arranged. Grandma Wen listened to her words, she raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Wen, and whispered: "Fourth aunt, after the old aunt leaves, that place is so empty, and the people in the courtyard can't be idle like this." The sixth uncle's family is not in the house all the year round, and they can't place people in it.
Fourth aunt, there have always been few people in your yard, you choose to take a look, and leave the honest and useful person for your own use. Jin Shi looked at the approving expression of the eldest lady, she thought for a while and nodded, "The people in my aunt's yard, clever people, have found an opportunity to settle in a new place early. These five women, I look at them as people with solid eyes, but I am afraid that their men are also people of the same temperament. Then I will help the Lord keep them, and as long as they do things with peace of mind, I will also tolerate them. In the last few years, she had the heart to get close to Liufang, but unfortunately Liufang has been unwilling to give her this opportunity to get close. (To be continued......)
