Chapter 63: Chen's Thoughts
Just when Sha San was sighing on the street, there was a lively scene in the Yan Mansion, where the plaque had not yet been hung.
Backyard, main hall
Liang sat on the chair with a smile, watching his two sons kowtow to Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, and did not forget to mention the sons to say auspicious words.
At Chen's age, she likes this kind of half-grown little boy the most, and after hastily letting the two children finish their auspicious words, she hurriedly got up and helped the children up, and her hands did not forget to pat the dust on the children's knees.
"Oh, such a doll, how can you let it kneel on the ground, his sister-in-law, I won't want children like this in the future."
Liang Shi took a handkerchief and half-covered his mouth, and said with a smile: "Godmother, where did you say this, they are your godson, what are you afraid of when your godgrandson kowtows to grandma."
You don't know, the more children you are, the more you have to learn rules from a young age, so that in the future, children don't know how to grow up and young, and one day they will be angry with you. ”
The soil on the two children of the Chen family was patted clean, in fact, the main hall had already been cleaned, and there was no dust at all, and she couldn't shoot anything when she patted it.
Sending the two children back to their mother Liang, Chen looked at the two white and tender children, and couldn't stop loving them in his heart, and sighed.
"His sister-in-law, I also understand what you said, I was stricter than you when they were young, and I took the willow strip directly if it was not appropriate.
But now that I'm older, I'm reluctant to start, and when I see these children, my heart is soft.
Hearing this, Liang smiled and flattered: "Godmother, this is the heart of the ancestors, and those of us who are juniors will learn more from you in the future." ”
Zhang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family, who was sitting opposite the Liang family and had been silent, couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth when she heard this, glanced at her mother-in-law's face, and it was really similar to herself, and she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.
This sister-in-law of the Huang family is used to pleasing people.........
………
Zhang's small actions can't hide from Liang's, but she doesn't care about them.
finally waited for Yan Kui's family to live in the city, and she didn't seize the opportunity to brush her face in front of others, just like the godmother Chen in front of her, if she coaxed people well, the old lady would say a word to Yan Kui, which would be more effective than her flattering a hundred and thousands of good words.
Liang is a sensible woman who knows how to advance and retreat, and she naturally does not put any official wife in front of Chen.
His posture of being low and small, if he was seen by the few concubines in the Huang Mansion who were obedient to the Liang family's uniforms, he would probably drop his jaw in shock.
However, there is one thing to say, Liang's dignified county lieutenant wife is so careless to welcome herself as a rural peasant woman, although Chen feels a little awkward, but he still feels very good in his heart.
Here can also be glimpsed from her attitude towards the Liang family, although the title of "his sister-in-law" is common in the countryside, but not everyone can be called a sentence, it does not matter everywhere, Chen's name for the Liang family will never be so familiar.
Although the rural farmers seem to be scattered, they really have to compare the rules of the name, and they are not lower than those high-ranking households.
Today, Chen's treatment of Liang's ordinary "sister-in-law" is inconspicuous and even a little rude, but this just means that Chen really regards Liang as his own, although he is not very close, but at least he has a good impression.
On the contrary, if Chen calls Liang Mrs. Huang today, then it will be over, because this sound very respectful, but in fact it is alienated and cold, which means that Chen does not take Liang to heart at all, and his words and deeds are just polite.
Liang's background may not make her understand the intentions of Chen, a peasant woman in the countryside, but she knows how to observe words and feelings, but she can see a good impression of herself from Chen's face, so she is more attentive.
Chen was just a rural peasant woman in the first half of her life, where she had experienced so many sugar-coated shells, and she was coaxed by Liang in less than half an hour.
When it was getting late and Liang offered his farewell, Chen's address to her changed from "his sister-in-law" to "good girl".
…………
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family, Zhang, has always been with the Chen family, and after seeing the Chen family happily send the Liang family away, she hesitated for a long time before persuading.
"Mother, I don't think this woman is at ease, don't be fooled by her."
Chen turned his head and glanced at Zhang, his eyes showing relief: "Mother is not stupid, although I don't know a few words in my life, I also know that the sky will not drop pies in vain."
The reason why Huang Dahu's daughter-in-law is so flattering to her mother is nothing more than the second child, and her mother knows it in her heart. ”
"Then what are you .........?" asked Zhang.
Chen's face that had been baptized by the years showed a cunning look: "I asked the second child, it was the second child who asked his mother to do this, you should also pay attention in the future, don't always show face to others."
Since the second child still needs her man in the future, then we have to hold on to some people, and we can't pull the second child's hind legs. ”
Hearing this, Zhang nodded vigorously, and it is not an exaggeration to say that now in the Yan family, Yan Kui's words are holy decrees, and he spoke to make friends with the Liang family, no matter how awkward Zhang's heart is, he does not dare to stand up to it.
Otherwise, even if Yan Kui took into account that she was a sister-in-law, it would be difficult to say much, Chen's mother-in-law would not be used to her, and her husband Yan Zhenna would not be able to explain it.
Seeing Zhang's nodding, Chen didn't say much, she still knows this eldest daughter-in-law very well, although people are a little cautious, but they are not confused about big things, she believes that Zhang's will know the proportions.
However, seeing the eldest daughter-in-law, Chen remembered what Liang said just now, and couldn't help but ask Zhang.
"The woman just now said that the second child may have a favorite girl in her heart, do you think it is reliable?"
"This ......"
It was about Yan Kui, the pillar, and Zhang didn't dare to say anything, so he snorted for a long time before throwing out a sentence.
"Don't you just ask the second uncle?"
Chen's anger, if I can ask him, why should I ask you for ideas.
Now because Yan Kui's status is rising, his position in the hearts of the whole family is also rising, not to mention that the Zhang family is timid in the face of his little uncle, even the Chen family's mother-in-law, the attitude towards Yan Kui is not as casual as before.
Otherwise, the Chen family had already sent someone to call Yan Kui when they heard the news just now, so why would they need to ask the Zhang family in such a move.
…………
"No, it can't be left that way."
Chen held his breath, but couldn't help but squeeze out such a sentence.
"The second child is twenty-two years old this year, the eldest has been born at this age, he has not moved at all, he doesn't care about his own affairs, and I, a mother, can't watch it.
What's wrong with being an official, I'm also his mother when I'm an official, the eldest daughter-in-law, you go and call the third child, I have something to tell him. ”
Chen muttered a few words to himself, his face became more and more determined, and finally he gritted his teeth and turned his head to explain to Zhang.
Seeing his mother-in-law's face, Zhang didn't dare to slack off, ran out of the room, and about half a pillar of incense kung fu, and took Yan Xiong, the third elder of the Yan family, into the door.
"Mother, what are you asking me to do, I'm taking the junior to move the tree, what do you think of my father, I have to look at the peach trees planted in front of the courtyard that are not pleasing to the eye, and I can't pull him out alive or dead, which makes me tired."
Yan Xiong was not polite when he entered the house, first held a pot of tea and drank a few sips, and then complained at Chen.
Chen looked at his little son who was covered in mud, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped Yan Xiong's face in distress, and scolded in his mouth: "What does the old immortal want to do, you let him do his own work, and send my son to do something." ”
Yan Xiong smiled brightly, he would complain if he complained, but he didn't dare to get involved in the matter between the old couple, so he closed his mouth and waited for Chen to finish scolding before changing the topic.
"Mother, let's get down to business, what did you ask my sister-in-law to call me over?"
Chen listened to his son's question, and he didn't bother about Yan Changlin's affairs, so he pulled Yan Xiong and asked, "Third brother, my mother asked you, do you have any neighbors around your second brother, who are they, and do you know each other?" ”
"What do you ask for?" Yan Xiong was a little strange.
"Why do you care so much, what does my mother ask you, you reply to me." Chen didn't bother to explain to his son, and said bluntly.
…………
Seeing Chen's attitude, Yan Xiong was afraid that he would be scolded again, so he tilted his head and thought for a while, and told the people he knew to be with Chen.
"Well, in fact, I don't know very well, after all, I don't go to the second brother's big camp, but I know that Brother Fa, Brother Xingxiao, and Brother Chun are all valued by my second brother, and he should be the captain under him.
By the way, a few days ago, when I went to Daying to inform my second brother to come and see the renovated house, I met a scholar, and my second brother introduced me to Xu ...... Yes, Xu Yu, I heard that this Xu Yu is the second brother's newly found military advisor, and the second brother trusts him very much. ”
After Yan Xiong finished speaking, Chen on the side fell into deep thought, and after about half a pillar of incense, she looked at Yan Xiong and commanded.
"Third child, tomorrow you go to the camp and quietly find Fazi and Xingxiao for me, just say that my mother has something to do with him.
Remember, don't alarm your second brother about this, well, don't talk too much about your father and your eldest brother. ”
"This ......"
Yan Laosan's face was full of embarrassment, and he sighed for a long time and said: "Mother, what are you going to do without the second brother, or will you give me a thorough understanding first?" ”
Chen shook his head: "No, this is not the time for you to know. ”
Yan Xiong looked at Zhang again, Zhang smiled bitterly and waved his hand, indicating that he couldn't speak, Yan Xiong's face showed despair.
"Mother, don't cheat me, if something happens in the future, he won't dare to look for your business, but dare to clean me up, second brother's fist, my little body can't stand it."
Chen was so angry with Yan Xiong that he fell backwards, stretched out his finger and poked Yan Laosan's forehead, and scolded: "What nonsense? Mother can still harm your second brother, it's a good thing that I'll find them. ”
"Really?" Yan Xiong will be skeptical.
Chen's face was a little unbearable: "If you don't go, if you don't go, my mother will go to your eldest brother, and then a good thing will be done, but don't blame my mother for not giving you credit." ”
"Don't don't, I'll go, can't I go."
After all, he was still a teenager, Yan Xiong was so screamed by Chen, he panicked, and hurriedly took the errand.
…………
Seeing that the matter was successful, Chen coaxed his youngest son a few more words, and then sent him out, turned his head to look at Zhang, and complained.
"This stupid boy, you have to be sold after going out for half a day."
Zhang watched the whole process of Chen's fooling Yan Xiong, and his face was still a little cowardly: "Mother, let's do this, the second uncle knows if he will be angry." ”
"Angry? What is he angry about? ”
Seeing that the plan was going well, Chen became more and more confident: "If the second child can honestly find me a second daughter-in-law to come back, can I be guilty of this."
The eldest daughter-in-law, look at it, before the end of the year, if I don't give the second child, I won't even eat dumplings during the New Year............"
