Cui Ling really wants to cry, the so-called stealing chicken and rice refers to her like this.

Obviously, he just wanted to escape a catastrophe, but who would have expected to fall into a greater "catastrophe" - originally he just got up every morning and suffered a little, but now he is good, he is under the nose of the old lady all day long, I am afraid that I am embarrassed to be lazy, and it is simply a dream to be unrestrained.

But what can be done?

Just as Yuan Wulang had instructed before leaving, if she ran into trouble in the Yuan family, Lao Taijun was the only one who could make decisions for her. It's too late for her to curry favor, how can she refuse the old lady's kindness in public?

Cui Ling secretly took a breath, tried her best to squeeze out a little smile on her face, and her tone was very obedient, "Well, but listen to grandmother." ”

The old lady was full of joy, so she instructed the Liang family and the Lian family to disperse first.

She said to Mama Du, "Xiao Wu is familiar with you, follow Xiao Wu's daughter-in-law back to clean up, and come over before noon." ”

Mama Du said yes in a row, first sent the old lady out of the door of Shangwutang, and then turned back to find Cui Ling.

She smiled all over her face, "Fifth Grandma is really a blessing, there are so many grandmothers and young ladies in the family, and the old lady's Tai'an Courtyard has never left anyone." The old lady values the fifth grandmother so much, even if the fifth grandmother is not at home, what do you have to worry about? ”

Of course, Cui Ling knew in her heart that once she lived in Tai'an Courtyard, it would be equivalent to being included in the scope of Lao Taijun's shili, not to mention that the people in the house did not dare to say anything gossip, even the four sisters-in-law in the family had to look down on her extraordinarily.

For example, just now, as soon as the old lady said that she would move into Tai'an Hospital, the third sister-in-law Lian was only a little surprised and envious, and the second sister-in-law Liang's face immediately changed. It can be seen that living with the old lady also means some kind of benefit.

She and Mama Du walked in the direction of the Tibetan Fragrance Garden, and said, "I have a hasty agreement with the fifth master, and I don't have time to understand many things that should have been known in advance. I only know that the eldest sister-in-law is the lord of Yining of the eldest princess of Furong's family, the third sister-in-law was born in the Lian family of the Liguo Mansion, the fourth sister-in-law is the daughter of the Su family in Longzhong, and the second sister-in-law can't remember where her mother's house is. ”

She paused slightly, looked at Mama Du with a smile and asked seriously, "Mama Du is the old man next to her grandmother, no one in this house knows more than Mama, I am new to the house, I don't understand anything, can I ask Mama to mention something?" ”

Cui Ling spoke with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was gentle, like a spring breeze in March.

It's not deliberately flattering, nor is it condescending, it's just ordinary gossip between ordinary grandparents and grandchildren, with a bit of intimacy and coquettishness, which sounds both cordial and natural.

Mama Du has no children and grandchildren, because of the relationship between the old lady, in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, she has always been sought after, not to mention the maids and servants below, even if the serious grandparents see her, they are very polite.

No one has ever spoken to herself in such a peaceful and natural way as Fifth Grandma.

She already had the heart to make friends with the fifth grandmother, so she was naturally more willing to tell her what she knew at this time, "The second grandmother is the daughter of the Liang family in Yinzhou, and her grandfather Liang Endao was the emperor. The Liang family is a scholarly family, and the door often comes out of Confucianism, during the Kaiyuan period of this dynasty, the three uncles and nephews took the Jinshi together, and the list of eyes and flowers are all from the Liang family, which is rumored to be a good story in the world. But ......"

Mama Du's tone changed slightly, and she lowered her voice a lot, "Two years ago, the Liang family was involved in disasters and suffered disasters, and now the situation is not as good as before. ”

She asked bitterly, "Fifth grandmother should know about our second grandfather who sacrificed his life for the country five years ago, right?" ”

Cui Ling nodded, "Hmm." ”

Although she was unheard, she knew these things.

Five years ago, Yuan Ze, the second son of General Zhenguo, died in the Ping Turkic Rebellion, and the government and the opposition mourned, and the emperor posthumously befriended General Wude.

She is a lazy person who doesn't learn and has no skills, and she can remember this incident because Yuan Erlang almost became her third brother-in-law back then.

I heard that the two families are very satisfied with the family affairs, but when they put together the eight characters, they said that it was not very good, and the ancients were superstitious, so this family affairs were not done.

Later, Yuan Erlang died in battle, and the grandfathers and uncles in the family lamented the fall of the pillars of the country, but the grandmother and eldest aunt were secretly glad that the family affair did not work out, otherwise the third sister would have to be widowed at a young age, how could the family bear it?

The third sister later married the sincere Hou Shizi, and within a few years the Hou Ye passed away, and the prince inherited the title, she became Mrs. Hou, and gave birth to three sons and a daughter. Wealth and glory lack nothing, and the second sister-in-law Liang's figure is alone, and it can't be the same.

Every time the third sister-in-law goes back to her parents' house, she always has to listen to someone secretly mention this old past, how could Cui Ling forget?

Mama Du sighed lightly, "The second grandmother is gone, but the second grandmother has no heirs by her side, and she is not angry with her mother's family." She guards the second room alone, and sometimes she is inevitably a little too careful, thinking more than others, and it is easy to think about things in the worst way. ”

She thought for a while and said, "The old lady understands the miserable life of the second grandmother, so he is very tolerant of her, and the other grandmothers also remember the teachings and don't care about the second grandmother in everything." ”

Cui Ling nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Mama." ”

Her husband is dead, she has no children, and her mother's family is not strong, and now she finally understands the same thing, and the reactions of the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law will be so different.

For example, the old lady asked her to take a step, the third sister-in-law was very calm, but the second sister-in-law was obviously a little happy.

The old lady asked her to move to Tai'an Courtyard, although the third sister-in-law was also a little envious, but obviously she was still blessed, but the second sister-in-law obviously changed her face, and even looked at her in a different way.

After listening to the life experience of the second sister-in-law, after thinking about it again, I figured out everything.

Yuan Erlang is a martial arts general who is chasing after him, and his second sister-in-law has a fate, and it is impossible for her to remarry in this life.

When the old lady and the old general were there, they would definitely treat her meticulously, but in the future, when they are gone, the Zhenguo General's Mansion has been divided, and she has no heirs, so it is naturally impossible to divide it out and live alone, and the future days will depend on the face of the long house.

Yuan Dalang and the county lord of Yining naturally won't treat her badly, but what about the nephews?

Under the values of the time, the future of the second sister-in-law Liang was almost completely hopeless, and she spent every day in loneliness and despair, sensitivity was certain, and she could understand her perverseness and irritability.

The second sister-in-law is not like herself, she has an unusual experience, she is thousands of years ahead of others in terms of concepts and ideas, she has no desires, she never argues with others, and she does not need any spiritual sustenance, as long as she has money and a village in her hand, she will find a quiet grange to retire in the future, and she will be able to live a good life without children.

It's just that Cui Ling said puzzledly, "My mother's third uncle and ancestor have no heirs, and the clan is in charge of passing on the seventh cousin of the second uncle's family to the third uncle, and now that the third uncle has passed away, it will be sacrificed by the seventh uncle, and the third uncle and grandmother have also followed the seventh uncle and the seventh aunt." ”

She paused and asked, "Second sister-in-law, Weishenme, don't you pick a child from the clan to pass in the room?" ”

The ancients attached great importance to the inheritance of incense, and were particularly persistent in the continuation of the bloodline of their heirs.

Mama Du shook her head with a bitter face, "It's not that I haven't mentioned it, the second grandmother doesn't want it!" ”
