Mei Xiang's face suddenly turned crimson, and she replied shyly: "It's nothing, auntie, you are making fun of me again, I don't have that mind, I-"

Liu Xingmei said: "Don't explain, go back first, and we'll leave later." ”

Mei Xiang ran out of the gate with her clothes in her arms.

Wu He said: "It can be seen that Wu Huan and Wu Le like Mei Xiang. ”

"Yes! It's just that six o'clock is not right, if Mei Xiang can marry into the Wu family, it will be really her blessing. ”

"Marriage is predestined, whether it is a family or not, as long as the elders of the Lao Wu family agree, it will be easy to do. When the time comes, you will run before and after the run, and rub it. ”

"It's the people of the Wu family who agree, who does Mei Xiang marry?"

"Then it depends on who she likes."

"It can only be like this, I have time to ask Mei Xiang and her mother, listen to Chu Yunzhao talk about Mei Xiang's marriage when he left, and then explore the tone of the Wu family. Why didn't you see Want Want? ”

"I left him at home to follow his grandmother, the child was noisy and unseemly, and I didn't let him follow for fear of annoying others."

"Want Want is quite sensible, don't you just ask for a lively event for this happy event!"

"Bring a heel star, even if others don't say anything, we can't feel sorry! Smell the smell of alcohol on your body, see that you are about to become a female drunkard, and you will drink when others persuade you to drink, and you don't know what amount you have. What if a woman drank too much and went crazy and watched others die of laughter?! ”

"Whatever, people live for themselves, and it's nonsense to live for others! Sister He, don't you know, when this wine is drunk just right, it doesn't sink forward or backward, it is really fluttering. Wine is a good thing, it can relieve sorrow and forget worries. ”

Wu He sighed and said: "You are hard-mouthed, in fact, people live for others!" Zhenkun just left, aren't you still sentimental?! ”

At this time, Liu Xingmei really wanted to cry happily.

In the Wu family, after the busy people have packed up the meat and vegetables, they will wait for tomorrow to be fried or fried, and the styles prepared are also rich, after all, they are wealthy families, and they pay attention to pomp and face. After everything was done, it was still early in the second half of the day. People sat down at the table in the shade of the fruit trees one after another, ate melon seeds, peeled sugar, drank tea, and gossiped, but the weather was not hot, and the temperature was pleasant. The leisurely after being busy makes everyone have a comfortable laziness. A four- or five-year-old boy wandered around the table, touching this and moving that for a while, looking very naughty and naughty, and a middle-aged woman was inseparably caring for him.

This little boy is Wu Long's son Zhengrong, who is watched by his grandmother. Wu Jinfu's wife's name is Cao Wanli, although she is middle-aged, but because of her good living conditions and good maintenance, she has also postponed the signs of aging, and her appearance does not match her age. Of course, I can't mention ", the charm still exists", but she looks rich, and naturally she is indispensable to Yongrong's luxurious temperament. At this time, the blush on her face still hadn't completely faded, because it was because she had drunk wine at noon. Among the four concubines, she is the largest, and her status is second only to her mother-in-law Su, almost equal. If this is placed in other rich and powerful families, it is undoubtedly a veritable big wife.

Due to the age of the mother-in-law Su, the affairs of the Lord are generally managed by her, and if it is difficult to solve the special circumstances, it will be handed over to the mother-in-law or father-in-law, and she will not ask her husband, knowing that what her man says is not counted and her ability to do things is poor, especially in such a big family, on the surface, others look harmonious and warm, but in fact, it is also intrigue secretly. Clear-eyed people can see that the four brothers have their fathers and mothers who are suppressing and dare not make waves, if their fathers and mothers are gone, there will inevitably be things for the sake of property, which does not mean that there are many contradictions between them, and it is also human nature. That's where you need to be tactful, and it's better to be picky. And the other three concubines are different, they have to ask her for instructions on big and small things, otherwise they will be picked and touched and put on small shoes, it is not wise to defend their status in this hegemonic way, and the other three concubines are also on fire in their hearts, but they don't dare to easily oppose the appointment of their in-laws. With a rat-bellied and narrow-minded person in charge of the internal affairs of a huge family, doesn't the old lady Wu who is in charge of the decision? No, even if you know, you can't help it, after all, she has a big head among concubines, so she has a certain advantage, and it doesn't make sense to choose another person. To put it bluntly, Cao Wanli is just a branch of the mouth, and she has become a big handshaker, and she doesn't need to do any work, just like the treatment of the second mother-in-law, this is the rule in that era, but the power to control money is still the old couple. Regardless of family separation, there must be someone in charge, and this person has the ability to maintain family reunion. For Cao Wanli, taking care of her grandson now is her life, because grandson represents the inheritance and continuation of the bloodline of a family and even a family.

In this big family, not only Wu Long has sons, but also Wu Cheng and Wu Xiang, who are younger than Zhengrong, and the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, who is about to give birth, does not know that she gave birth to a boy or a girl. Zheng Rong is the eldest son and eldest grandson like his father, and Bi Ran has a different meaning, just like the emperor, the eldest son can first be crowned as the prince and become the prince, and its deep-rooted feudal ideas are also in the hearts of the common people, which should be said to be for a big family without separation, which includes this concept of inheritance. Of course, in the concept of male superiority and inferiority of women, their daughters cannot be mentioned!

This is like the old lady Wu pushing his own position, how can the conformist things of several generations be replaced by others, so he does not move, and still plays the role of the emperor of the soil who dominates the party. If someone else is replaced, he does not have the prestige and appeal of the Wu family, which should be said to be due to the lack of exploitation and oppression.

However, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and what worries Mrs. Wu is that how long such a big family can last, it will inevitably be a family in the future! If that day comes, if he is still there, as long as he watches that his brothers and sisters and the children of their juniors do not fight for money, fields, and houses, and do it with dignity and concessions, then he will be content, which shows that he has succeeded in educating his sons and grandchildren.

Although Hua Rui is also Zhang Luo Luoluo's busy life to do in front of her, but she is silent, because some women dislike her bad reputation, so they deliberately snub her as if they were avoiding the plague, and they are not willing to take the initiative to deal with her. It's just that there are men who love to hunt for fragrance, that is, those who have lustful hearts and no lustful guts, or those who have no money and are happy and greedy, they all love to come to her and talk to her with a few provocative words. She doesn't think so, but she can cope with it easily, and her ability to be a prostitute lies in being shameless and thick-skinned. Don't the people of the Wu family know what kind of person she is? Or maybe you know it but are too embarrassed to turn it away!

Hua Rui stepped forward to pick up Zhengrong in a flattering manner, but Zhengrong punched and kicked in her arms, shouting in her mouth: "Put me down, I hate it!" ”

Cao Wanli hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her and said, "This child is young, but he doesn't want to play with his sisters, brothers and sisters, and he knows that he is pestering me all day long." ”

Under the shade of the eaves of the west wing, the laughter of children can be heard from time to time. It was Ni who was coaxing her nephew and niece, the children of Wu Feng, Wu Cheng, Wu Xiang, and Wu He.

Liu Xingmei could feel from Cao Wanli's expression and tone that she didn't have a good impression of Hua Rui. She reached out and touched Zhengrong's head and said, "This little guy is tiger-headed and likable, and at first glance you know that he is a little troublemaker, and you still don't want to be rare?!" ”

Maybe it was because Zheng Rong had seen Liu Xingmei a few times, so he didn't show his disgust for Liu Xingmei, but grinned. In other words, comparing Liu Xingmei with Hua Rui, giving people an intuition will make people prefer Liu Xingmei, a pure natural and delicate face, and a vulgar makeup.

Cao Wanli said: "Who said it wasn't, he couldn't stop all day long, and he couldn't even coax him, let alone someone else, so he recognized me and didn't have a time to stop." I tossed down this day, tired from back pain and leg cramps. ”

Liu Xingmei said with a smile: "Then you are happy to coax your grandson, your body is tired but your heart is not tired." ”

Wu He said on the side: "It's a habit for this kid to coax anyone. ”

At this time, Zhengrong was in her grandmother's arms, struggling to reach for Liu Xingmei. Cao Wanli thought that her grandson was looking for Liu Xingmei to hug, so she said: "It's so big, and I still find someone to hug it, and I don't know how to be ashamed." ”

As she said so, she hugged Zhengrong to Liu Xingmei.

When Liu Xingmei reached out to pick it up, Zheng Rong twisted her body to dodge, and the little hand touched her back. Liu Xingmei understood the child's purpose, so she turned sideways.

Sure enough, Zhengrong's intention was on the long twisted braid. He grabbed the braid in his hand and giggled and fiddled.

Mei Xiang also laughed, and the others laughed too.

Liu Xingmei couldn't help but blush, Tao Zhenkun has a habit of her braids, it seems that this little man will be a pervert when he grows up.

Cao Wanli hurriedly said: "Grandson, this braid is not for you to play, don't mess up, let go." ”
