226 Clan Meeting
Rong Yi couldn't cry or laugh, but his eyes were full of joy and admiration, his mother has always been so honest and kind, and she has never changed her heart at any time, which is what he admires the most.
"Mother, look at what you said, I'm not such a lustful person, don't worry, I know what I want, and I won't ruin my life's career irrelevantly."
Rong Yi said with a straight face, he is ambitious, he has his own vision and expectations in his career, and he also loves and is satisfied with Lan'er, the atmosphere at home is always warm, relaxed and comfortable, he doesn't want to change this atmosphere, he doesn't want to change, he wants to keep this warmth.
Mrs. Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "Husband and wife are tolerant of each other, no woman is willing to give up her husband to another woman, if you really do that, how much is left of the husband and wife's affection?" That means that this woman has been disappointed in you, and will not expect anything from you, to be a standard good wife and lady, she can no longer see any light in her eyes, and even her smile is very standard, that is actually the sadness of a woman, under the brocade clothes, is a tired heart. ”
After saying that, she sighed deeply, she didn't get this blessing, I hope that my favorite son can get a sincere warmth, husband and wife work together to spend the wind and rain, I hope that after her son comes home tired, there will be someone who can sincerely ask for warmth for her son, instead of hypocrisy.
Rong Yi couldn't bear to see her mother like this, her mother had really worked hard for their children over the years, and it was a little bitter to think about it.
"Mother...... son and Lan'er will be filial to you, you see that you are about to have a little grandchild. In the future, our mothers will get better and better. Rong Yi's voice was soft. But there was a hint of choking. It's really not easy for mothers these years.
Mrs. Rong turned her head sideways to look at her son's handsome face, and couldn't help but be proud in her heart, "Son, my mother hopes that you can all be well, you can be happy and safe, my mother doesn't expect you to give me a phoenix crown, my mother only wishes you peace and happiness, even if your mother is gone, there are still people around you who really love you." This is what can make my mother feel at ease. ”
She is not the mother-in-law who has no knowledge, her daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she quickly fills her son's room with a concubine, to block her daughter-in-law's heart, pierce her daughter-in-law's heart, and do that thing is not a show of favor or a grudge, not to mention that her son needs the help of the Yue family There are still many places, she is better to her daughter-in-law, and the Yue family is naturally not invisible, and she can also help her son more. Isn't it a good thing that the two are the same?
What's more, the daughter-in-law is better, and she is more filial to herself. The son and daughter-in-law are intimate with herself, and she can enjoy Qingfu in her later years, what a good thing, maybe the younger son will need the help of his daughter-in-law in the future, and the daughter will need the daughter-in-law to go to the inner house to support her when she marries in the future.
Rong Yi lowered his head, "Don't worry, my son knows his mother's heart." ”
This Rong Yi returned to the yard and began to explain to Mama Lin that she should pay attention to the two diets, the unclean things around her should be cleared, the incense should not be ordered, and the flowers and plants should be taken out.
Mama Lin and the two naturally agreed with all their hearts, and went down to plan and prepare for a strict investigation.
Yang Lan was pregnant for the first time in her life, and she didn't know that she had it, and there was no difference from before.
These days are a little busy, the day of the clan meeting is coming, the underground people are busy with their feet not touching the ground, Biyun and Wang's mother's little granddaughter have almost contacted the people below, the list is basically determined, just waiting for the wife's instructions, they can take office, and they will never let the family mess up, and ensure that they are as messy as before.
Yang Lan's housekeeper has basically been recognized by the steward these days, she has not installed her own people, she has not let any of them, only picked up the people who can do their honest duties and use them, the rewards and punishments are clear, reasonable and well-founded, and there is no favoritism in the number that can be right in everything.
In addition, with the strong support of his wife, the people below heard the wind and moved, and naturally knew what to do, so the housekeeper did not make any major mistakes, and it was still very smooth.
However, there are also those who are not convinced, and they want to wait to find fault with their strength, that is, the people on the other side of the West Courtyard, although the West Courtyard and the East Courtyard are separated, they are not separated, that is to say, it is still a family affair to the outside world.
And there are some money exchanges between the two houses, which are the shops left by the old marquis and his younger brother when he was alive, and it was to take care of his younger brother earlier, because he did not have a title, and he relied on his own hard work, thinking of helping his younger brother, so some shops were combined by the two houses, and they had to be divided into two sides when they divided the money every year.
After so many years, some of the stewards in the shop are people from the West Courtyard, after all, they are still from the same house, so some things are still difficult to tear apart and figure it out, so it is too cool for outsiders to look at it, and even the elderly aunt is unwilling to take care of it, it is simply not human.
Therefore, these stewards are very in the lead, and every time they take out sentences like this is the old lady's words to block Yang Lan and Mrs., even Mrs. doesn't pay attention to them, but they just look respectfully in the face of the Hou Ye, but in fact, they are not very happy to listen to their dispatch in their hearts.
Yang Lan gritted her teeth with hatred every time she arrived, and secretly told her mother-in-law that she must replace them, so she combed through the shop where her mother-in-law married and the manpower in Hou Ye's shop, and secretly noted that those people could be promoted to be in charge, so she was waiting for an opportunity to replace them.
The clan meeting is finally about to start after nearly half a month of preparation, Yang Lan and Rong Yi got up early in the morning, wearing red and black rune edged gowns, and robes, ready to sacrifice to their ancestors.
This is a very solemn and solemn occasion, so the dress is extremely exquisite, requiring dignified and polite atmosphere.
Rong Yi also deliberately took a day off today, and stayed to participate in the family meeting, he is a son-in-law, and he is the main reliance of the family, so he must be present.
Before going out, he didn't forget to tell Yang Lan, "Today is the right day, if you are tired, stick to it and eat more at the table." ”
Yang Lan was a little puzzled, but she still happily accepted his kindness, "I have nothing to do, I have been much better these days, I have eaten a lot in the morning, I am afraid that I will be hungry and my face will be ugly, you can rest assured that I am well prepared, and I will not embarrass you." She thought that Rong Yi was afraid that she was delicate and would not be able to endure the cumbersome ceremony, and she would lose someone to him in front of the Rong family, so she specially assured.
Rong Yi saw that she had misunderstood, but she didn't explain, but she just waited for Yang Lan to go out before she threw a look at Biyun and Mama Lin, and the two nodded silently to indicate that they understood, and they would definitely take care of their grandmother, so they went to the front yard with confidence.
The clan meeting is to be held in the Hou Mansion, and the patriarch must first lead the clan to give the ancestors incense, Yang Lan and Mrs. Rong stand next to each other, and at this time the concubine is very distinct.
It is like standing next to Yang Lan, whether it is a girl or a sister-in-law, they have to stand in the back and line up, and the leader at the front can only be the grandson, without exception.
At this time, even Rong Xun, the eldest son of the concubine, was standing in a column of concubines, but Rong Yi, as the leader of the concubines, led the descendants to incense and followed the patriarch of the Hou Ye to worship the ancestors.
At this moment, Yang Lan felt that the difference between the concubines and the concubines was clear, and she didn't obviously feel much different, although she often listened to the nagging of the people around her, but she was not a boy so she didn't feel obvious, and she was very tolerant of many girls, even if she was a concubine, she would be well educated and would not be treated badly, but she had never felt so obvious and clear today, as if the Chu River and Han Realm had drawn a huge chasm that could not be crossed.
This is just a flash of Yang Lan's thoughts, after worshipping the ancestors, everyone was able to sit down, because they were all a family with no outsiders, so they only pulled the screen and set up a few tables for men and women to sit in the halls on the left and right, so that it was easy to talk. At this time, she had the opportunity to take a closer look at the famous old lady in the West Courtyard.
The old lady's branch is also a descendant, because she is not dead, and it cannot be counted as a side branch, but she is still a descendant branch and is treated preferentially.
Today, the old lady deliberately wore a crimson gown, a dark black skirt, and a forehead wipe on her head, looking like a mother and kind eyes, she was the kind of kind old man who felt that it was easy to feel close at first glance, but after knowing what she was doing behind her back, Yang Lan deeply felt that no ancient person could be underestimated.
Even if she knew that what the old lady did was not authentic, or even very dirty, it was difficult to feel disgust and disgust after seeing the old lady's face, and I have to say that this person was very thoughtful.
"This is Brother Yi's daughter-in-law, come and let me take a look, I didn't see it when I was unwell that day, but now I saw a real person, what a beautiful and neat child, you are blessed to be a good daughter-in-law, your son can marry such a good daughter-in-law with such a high status." The old lady beckoned to Yang Lan, and when she came over, she took her hand and said kindly.
It's just that these words sound a little piercing, being a high-status and having a daughter-in-law of Brother Yi is nothing more than to remind Yang Lan that even if you are the county lord, you are also the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, and you must abide by the rules of the Rong family and not mess around.
Yang Lan pretended that her new daughter-in-law was blushing, lowered her head and kept silent, and secretly sneered in her heart, fortunately she had done her homework well before, and she had a really good relationship with her mother-in-law, and she was also sincerely filial to her mother-in-law, otherwise she would be so instigated by her, wouldn't she be disgusted by her mother-in-law and Yuanzhi, making people think that Yuanzhi's efforts are all based on his wife's high status, and a man's self-esteem can't stand it.
Mrs. Rong and the old lady have been fighting for many years, so she naturally knows her way, so she just smiled and nodded without understanding, "This child is a good one, since he entered the door, he has been filial to me every day, and he also cooked for me to taste, for fear that I would be dissatisfied, and the housekeeper never made his own opinions, but whenever there was a problem, he would come back and forth to me, and the people below said that grandma was charitable and fair." ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, not revealing any displeasure at all, but as it should be, it was my family's luck.
"By the way, the former brother Yi's daughter-in-law heard that there was going to be a clan meeting, so she specially asked me for instructions, saying that she wanted to donate 5,000 taels of private silver to the clan school, which is a little bit of their husband and wife's heart, Brother Yi's daughter-in-law, you said it yourself." Mrs. Rong smiled and spoke. (To be continued......)
