Zhou was about to continue, when he suddenly frowned, and he sat up straight by holding the armrests of the Eight Immortals chair with both hands.

Mrs. Li saw it and said with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou shook his head and took a deep breath: "This naughty one in my stomach kicks me every now and then." ”

The fetal movement alone had no effect, and Zhen Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou took a sip of tea before he said: "The position of patriarch can only be sat by the son-in-law, whether I give birth to a son or not, it is impossible for Zhenjing." When the time comes, either persuade Zhen Che to resign, or ask which room to take over first. This is the ancestral rule. ”

It is indeed a rule for a sister-in-law to be in charge of the family, and it is absolutely impossible to cross it, and this sister-in-law must be the son of his wife.

Even if Zhenjing is recorded in the genealogy under the name of the Zhou family, Zhenjing has no possibility of being in charge.

"In the end, it is the child I raised, and there is no conflict with my own birth, why should I criticize him?"

Mrs. Li couldn't help but ponder when she heard this, what people tend to do is just a "profit" word, and judging from the current situation, Zhenjing, the eldest son, has no actual conflict of interest with the child in Zhou's belly.

What should be taken by the son-in-law, even if the Zhou family can't give birth to a son-in-law, it can't fall into the hands of Zhenjing, and what Zhenjing, as the eldest son of the concubine, can have, is really very few, so little that the Zhou family will not lose its reputation to deduct it at all.

"Zhenjing, this kid, he is ordinary in his studies, and he still understands the truth very well, but he is too real, and officialdom is not suitable for him. If you want me to say, it's better to give him a few shops to take care of. I raised him for more than ten years, and I won't let him be bad, but I'll worry too. If you don't choose a good daughter-in-law for him. The wind on the pillow was crooked. I can't regret it. ”

Ji Shi had been silent for a long time, and only after hearing this sentence did she open her mouth and asked softly: "The sixth sister-in-law chose Sister Cong for ......"

Zhou heard what Ji meant and nodded: "So, Sister Cong is the most suitable." ”

Zhenjing is too upright, and doing business also needs some tactfulness, the Ji family has been in business for many years, and Yu Cong has been familiar with it. I have some experience in the Chamber of Commerce, and it is great to have a daughter-in-law who understands business affairs to share the worries of Zhenjing.

Zhen Xuan knows this truth, but she also understands that it is not enough to know the way of business, another important reason why the Zhou family values Yu Cong is also a concubine, compared to her aunt, Yu Cong and the Jin family have a close relationship like a biological mother and daughter, she really respects and likes the Jin family.

Among the children born of the concubine, there are very few who can have a good relationship with their mother-in-law. Just talking about the Pei family, the relationship between the Duan family and Zhenhui and Zhenhuan is already good. The contradiction is sharp, just like Mrs. Jia's treatment of the fourth old man, that is, a thorn in her eye, all kinds of suppression, and even all kinds of dislike for Zhenxu.

Zhou is absolutely unwilling to become like that, she has been seriously upbringing Zhenjing for more than ten years, raising a concubine who treats her respectfully and kindly, if she marries a daughter-in-law who loves to provoke the relationship between her mother and concubine, her years of hard work will be in vain.

If it was Yu Cong, he wouldn't have done anything like that, Yu Cong didn't hate his mother-in-law, and he wouldn't have instigated Zhenjing to hate the Zhou family.

Zhou's face smiled faintly, and even brought some uneasiness: "I can pave the way for Zhenjing, I am dedicated, I am afraid that a piece of kindness will be exchanged for wolf liver and lungs, if he hates me and I am against me, how can I be good?" I can't trust other people's daughters, and no matter how much a man listens to his mother, he can't resist the wind next to his pillow. ”

Zhou's expression is like this, Zhen Xuan is a little unfamiliar, in her memory, the sixth aunt is strong, spiritual, and extremely capable, and it seems that she is not afraid of anything and can deal with the past, but she forgets that Zhou is also a mother, and she will also be worried and afraid.

Zhen Xuan's mind came up with a local dialect of Yongzhou, which fell into her ears when a few rough mothers-in-law in the courtyard were gossiping, although it was vulgar but it was not unreasonable.

It's better to raise milk than to touch it.

Moreover, Kim is a mother-in-law, not a biological mother.

Old Mrs. Li let out a long sigh and said with relief: "Sixth daughter-in-law, I understand your worries, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, nothing can compare to the word 'virtuous'." ”

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, this word was also said by Mrs. Zheng.

Fang Xianyu took a deviant path, if Fang Xianyu's family is a virtuous person, don't encourage him, even if he can't persuade him, he can tell Fang Huaide early, so that it won't be out of control.

If you are not virtuous in marrying a wife, the family will not have a peaceful life.

Zhou agreed with Mrs. Li's words: "Sixth uncle, Sister Cong is the niece of the fourteenth brother and sister, kiss and kiss, how can I not treat her badly with face?" Sister Cong came to Yongzhou, with you and her fourteen brothers and sisters, she couldn't suffer a loss between the concubines. Zhenjing, this child, I don't want to say it, he has a good temper and is a daughter-in-law who will hurt him. I am strict and clean in his house, and I will not do such a thing as stuffing people into it in the future, and we don't like that in Yongzhou. There is a monthly case at home, and a few more shops are added to the harvest, and it is not a problem to eat and dress well. ”

Mrs. Li asked, "What if it is separated?" ”

The concubines are different from the concubines, and it is very common to divide the concubines, most of the concubines of the Pei family now live outside, and the four masters are exceptional because Mrs. Jia refuses to let them go out, but when they go to Yanling, they are actually the same as the separated family.

This question made Zhou stunned, and slowly said: "If they want to divide the Lu and follow the rules, they should give Zhenjing me a lot of him, and choose a house for them to live in Yongzhou City." I sincerely want to marry Sister Cong and enter the door, if there is anything uneasy about my uncle's wife, I can bring it up. My request is the same, don't let Zhenjing go astray, don't let him think crookedly. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li and Ji's are not good to blindly refuse.

Ji nodded and agreed, and he would talk about the situation with Master Ji and the Jin family, but what the result would be depends on what the Ji family meant.

After saying this for a while, Zhou was also a little tired, so he didn't stay longer, thanked him a few words, and went back to Qingfutang.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and said to Ji's: "The sixth daughter-in-law is also working hard, and she has to worry a lot of heart with a big belly." ”

Ji smiled lightly and said, "The sixth sister-in-law is kind-hearted. ”

Old Mrs. Li snorted lightly: "Worry about this for the concubine...... It's just that, it's also a matter of accumulating virtue. ”

Ji didn't want to say much about topics like concubines and concubines, but said: "Fortunately, there are three sisters-in-law." ”

Speaking of the Liu family, Mrs. Li softened her expression, and she felt pity for her nephew and daughter-in-law, who was also young and widowed. Mrs. Li instructed Zhen Xuan: "I'll go and see your third aunt later, you are also in love." ”

Zhen Xuan responded.

Liu is not in Qingfu Hall, but in Qingrong Hall.

The date of Zhen Xu's marriage is to be set, and the Liu family is not easy to call the shots, so he and the fourth wife, the Shen family, invited Mrs. Ma to watch the days together, and selected a few and handed them over to the third old lady for selection. As for Mrs. Jia, the matter was skipped over her, so as not to cause another incident.

Zhen Xuan entered Mrs. Ma's house, and it was a happy event, so everyone had a smile on their faces.

Seeing Zhen Xuan, Mrs. Ma didn't wait for her to salute, pulled her to sit down beside her, and asked about the affairs of Jingzhong. After hearing that Fu Siye had arrived in Beijing and was in good health, Mrs. Ma recited a word of Buddha.

Zhen Xuan took out the letterhead that Duan had entrusted her to hand over to Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Ma called Jin Hongnian to listen to her.

Liu sat down and listened carefully, Zhen Xuan leaned over and called: "Third aunt, second brother is very good." ”

Liu looked at Zhen Xuan, smiled gently, and nodded: "That's fine." ”

The voice outside was crisp, please be safe, and when I looked at it again, Zhen Wen and Zhen Zhen came in together.

Zhen Min stood aside shyly, and waited for Zhen Yao to smile before she spoke: "Grandmother, aunt, sister." ”

Zhen Xuan froze in place and looked at Zhen Wen in surprise, Zhen Wen made her blush, and lowered her head.

Zhen Jue smiled and held Zhen Wen's shoulder, and said to Zhen Xuan, "Seventh sister, isn't it a surprise?" The eighth sister can speak. We know that the seventh sister of the Dao is here in Qingrong Hall, and the changes of the eighth sister must let you know the Dao. ”

The last time I returned to Pei's house, it was the first month, and at that time, Zhen Wen could only rely on it, but in a few months, she was able to call people, and the pitch was not bad.

Zhen Xuan was indeed surprised and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"In March." Zhen Jue explained for Zhen Wen, "But the eighth sister can only say two words at a time, and no matter how long it is, it won't work." ”

"Not in a hurry." Zhen Xuan looked at Zhen Wen, I don't know if the reason why I can speak, Zhen Wen is not as cowering as before, the whole person has changed a little, and he looks a little more energetic, "I can already say two words, the most difficult part is over, and when I come back next time, it will definitely be better." ”

Zhen Wen also had this confidence, and nodded vigorously.

Zhen Wen smiled brightly, and Zhen Xuan suddenly remembered what Zhen Ying had mentioned before.

In Zhen Ying's impression, Zhen Wen learned to speak when she was a child, and it was no different from ordinary children learning to speak, so Zhen Wen came back from the Deep State and became a mute, which surprised Zhen Ying.

Why is Zhen Wen speechless? Did something happen in the Deep State? And now, why can I suddenly say something?

Zhen Xuan was suspicious in her heart, but this answer was not easy to understand, and she couldn't figure it out. But for the family, it's a good thing that Zhen Wen can speak.

After lunch in Qing'an Hall, Zhen Xuan and Xia Yiqing came out of Pei's house.

It was still early, Zhen Xuan was worried about her rouge shop, so she said to Xia Yiqing: "Second master, if it's empty, I want to take a detour to take a look at the shop." ”

The Luo family's father and son took over in the first month, and then Zhen Xuan immediately went to the capital.

After coming back yesterday, although she saw the account book that Chen's mother put on her desk, Zhen Xuan didn't have time to take a closer look, besides, the situation of the shop couldn't just look at the account book data, so she wanted to take the time to go over.

Xia Yiqing did not object, said to the handlebar type, and went to East Street. (To be continued......)
