Chapter 54: The Maiden's Thoughts
"It's dark, it's so dark." Yan Hong waited until he finished discussing the "harmful" plan with his grandfather and Lao Tzu, and felt that his legs were a little weak.
When Yan Donglai was in his own time and space, when he read a certain point of novels, he always felt that the wisdom of the ancients was not as good as that of today. But today, I can't mention myself in front of this old villain.
From beginning to end, he could only act as an audience, Ren Yan Song and Yan Shifan talked eloquently, and judging from their arrangements, they were indeed far better than their original ideas.
After so many days, he has always felt that his father Yan Shifan has a snatching spirit, which makes him shudder when he meets him. But he didn't know exactly what it was. In addition to his extraordinary talent, maybe it's the innate power of being a stern father.
As for grandfather Yan Song, in his opinion, he is simply a kind and kind old grandfather, except for his outstanding ability to govern the government and his skillful grasp of the emperor's mentality, there is nothing to be afraid of.
It wasn't until tonight that he discovered what was really terrible about these two men. Thinking of having to be perfunctory with them in the future, especially Yan Shifan, who has always seemed to be a little too strict with his cheap son. Thinking about it again, if he wanted to rely on the big tree of Yan Gate for a long time, he would face opponents who were equal to or even more powerful than Yan Song and Yan Shifan, and he felt an unknown horror about the future.
Yan Song looked at this cheap grandson's face pale, where did he know that he was thinking nonsense, and he just thought that this grandson was inevitably afraid because he had never seen this kind of battle.
So he comforted him from time to time, telling Yan Hong to just prepare a birthday gift for his grandmother, and the rest of his father and grandfather were in charge.
Exiting the hall, Yan Hong pondered as he walked, this birthday gift was really a thing. What to prepare? According to the memory of his own ontology, the gifts he gave before were nothing more than Jin Shouxing and Jin Laojun.
From this kind of thing, it can also be seen that the little king of Hades, the son of a gentleman, is indeed not as accurate as his own insurance salesman for the psychology of the elderly.
Is the Yan family short of money? Besides, your grandson's money doesn't come from this family? It's really useless to send money.
This birthday gift must be surprising and heartfelt.
Yan Hong thought as he walked, muttering in his heart and gesturing in his hand.
When I went back to my bedroom, I saw that in the outer room, the maid pendant was flying needles and threads, sewing something. As soon as she saw Yan Hong coming back, she hurriedly hid the sewing things behind her, and said:
"Auntie...... Uncle, you're not busy in front. ”
"What's sewing?" If Shen'er didn't hide it, Yan Hong didn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw her hiding, he attracted attention, stepped over, stretched out his hand, and grabbed it in his hand.
Shen'er just said "ah", and wanted to stop but didn't stop.
When I copied this thing into my hand, I found that it was a moon-white straight shirt. I picked it up and compared it slightly, but it was similar to my own body shape.
Yan Hong smiled: "I can't see it, Shen'er, your needlework is really good." It's just that this dress, no matter how you look at it, is it also men's clothing, and it's not your lady who wants to wear it, right? The size doesn't match! ”
Shen'er was already so ashamed that her little face was crimson at this time, but she didn't dare to reply.
Hu Wanniang also came out of the back room at this time, and when she saw this scene, her face was not very good-looking. She stood at the doorway and watched coldly, not saying a word.
"Shy of what? Men should get married, and women should get married. Dare to fall in love with which little guy in the family? Just speak to me, and I'll be in charge with you. ”
A dowry maid like Shen'er is basically Yan Hong's roommate. If you have a good fate, you will give birth to an heir in the future, and you may be promoted to a concubine. There are also those who have given birth to children and cannot be concubines, but remain slaves.
Even if the owner doesn't take her into the house, she can't marry out of the house. After all, he is a slave in the house, and he can only be married to a male servant in the family.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Yan Hong has this kind of thought. Despite his adorable appearance, he doesn't have much ambition to start a great stallion business these days. The genuine lady Hu Wanniang in the room and the reckless lover Rouge Tiger in Shandong, these two are enough headaches, not to mention the old lady's sister Bao Chan in the room.
As for Shen'er, since he saw the scissors in the sleeves of this little girl that day, Yan Hongke didn't dare to have any thoughts about this little beauty, in case of trouble, it would be a crime after all. And now Shen'er is maintaining the young lady on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also very respectful and considerate to his uncle, so it's good, why bother to provoke this quiet environment?
Therefore, when he saw Shen'er making clothes, he just thought that this little girl was getting along with a little girl in the family. In that case, why don't you go with the flow and be a good person? The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood.
He thought that after he finished asking, Shen'er would either be too shy to look up, and if he was bold, he would say his name. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said a word, Shen'er seemed to be like Yan Hong was going to order someone to kill her immediately. The flower lost color and fell to her knees:
"Uncle, Shen'er has never had any entanglement with any little guy. Isn't it that my uncle listened to some rumors outside? The little maid didn't want to leave the young lady and the aunt. ”
That Hu Wanniang had been watching coldly at the door, and at this time she snorted and said:
"Xianggong, you are resourceful, and you are a familiar hand on the Fengyue field, why bother to squeeze such a little girl who doesn't know anything about Shen'er? That straight jacket, you compare it again, it's clearly sewn for you. Yes, seeing that the weather has changed, it's time to wear this straight jacket. I didn't expect Shen'er to be a caring girl who knows how cold and hot she is, you should love her more, did you hurry up and take the room? But it's still the same thing, whether it's a concubine or a house, you have to nod from the main room of the concubine. ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
Listening to the young lady of her own family, her little face turned from red to white, and two lines of tears flowed down, which made people look pitiful.
Yan Hong didn't expect that he originally wanted to be a good person and complete his marriage, but it turned out to be like this, and he felt that it was so boring. Seeing his wife's back disappear at the door, he let Shen'er get up first. The little maid was obviously not lightly aggrieved, and lay on the bed and whimpered. The slightly swaying vest, the sobbing sound, and the graceful figure revealed in the posture lying on the bed are quite moving.
Yan Hong looked very fond of her, and had the heart to pat her on the shoulder and wipe her tears or something to comfort her, but she was afraid that the little maid would think that she was taking advantage of her intentions, so she took out the scissors again. He had to take advantage of Hu Wanniang's absence and said indignantly:
"What's going on? When you are a maid, isn't it natural to sew clothes for your uncle? This kind of kindness has turned out like this. Don't cry either. You're a good craftman, and I like it very much. I just didn't mean anything, just kidding. And when I look at your craft, I want to ask you for some help, and when you've cried enough, come to me. ”
Shen'er was still lying on the bed, her shoulders shrugged slightly, her hips shook slightly, and she let out intermittent sobs. Yan Hong closed his eyes and turned around
returned to the back room, but saw Hu Wanniang also sitting in front of the dressing mirror, her face sinking like water.
In the past, every time Yan Hong and Hu Wanniang clashed, he mostly made a smile to understand. This time, Yan Hongke seized the opportunity of a reason. Even if my body was wrong with you before, this pendant is your own confidant, what is the matter with you bullying her for no reason?
At that moment, Yan Hong frowned and said, "Lady, what are you doing here?" How? Are you jealous of your own dowry maid? ”
During this time, he absorbed the memory of Yan Hong, although he was still confused about the relationship with his mother, but he understood one thing, that is, this wife was so jealous that she did not allow her husband to take a concubine at all, and even before Yan Hong's marriage, all the warblers and warblers who had good relations with him were also forced to cut off contact.
It is said that in ancient feudal society, if the "seven outs" clause of a man's divorce from his wife is counted, it is definitely called "jealousy". In other words, it is reasonable for Yan Hong to use this as a reason to divorce Hu Wanniang. It's just that I don't know what Lu Dao is for, the little Yama King in the past, in this case, still insists on living with this original partner. It's just that when the abuse is done in the room, the methods are constantly renovated.
After Yan Hong changed his soul, of course he didn't plan to do what the little king of Hades didn't dare to do, and divorced his wife. But he has done the right thing in this respect, and there is no guilt in this. If Hu Wanniang is a weak person in front of Yan Hong, then Shen'er is also weak in front of Wanniang, and she is more helpless and more wronged. Yan Hong wants to coexist peacefully with his inner room, but if I don't come to bully you, you can't bully weaker people.
However, Yan Hong's "presiding over justice" did not receive a response.
"Xianggong is right, the concubine is a jealous woman, if Xianggong really doesn't like me, he will divorce me." After Hu Wanniang said this, she didn't say a word, only turned her back to Yan Hong.
"You ......" Yan Hong had a heart attack, but he thought that it would be unwise to make trouble at this time. If the external calamity has not been eliminated, how can we burn more internal fire? He had to sit and sulk.
At night, they were speechless to each other, but Shen'er was a slave after all, and he didn't dare to cry all the time. After the couple had lunch, they changed into clothes, their eyelids were still slightly red and swollen, and asked Yan Hong: "Uncle, what do you want to do?" ”
Yan Hong looked at Shen'er's cute appearance of pear blossoms after the rain, and sighed secretly in his heart. He secretly glanced at Hu Wanniang, and said, "The old lady's birthday is approaching, and I want to prepare a special birthday gift to make the old man happy." Seeing that your needlework is very good, I want you to embroider a few words for me. I don't know how to embroider, do you embroider? ”
Before Shen'er could answer, Hu Wanniang spoke first on the side: "Xianggong, if this is such a thing, then you don't have to work hard for Shen'er." Although her stitches are good, I am afraid that the embroidery will not be successful. Xianggong can spend dozens of taels of silver, and he will have his own Hanlin bachelor who will write a birthday article for you. If the husband is distressed about the silver, the words of the concubine are also gone. ”
Yan Hong then remembered, this embroidered word is not as good as embroidered birds, where do you look for it? Now there is a lady of her own, but she can write and draw. Problems that can be solved within the system certainly don't have to be passed on. What's more, reasonable help can actually help promote affection.
At that moment, Yan Hong stood up, smiled at this often awkward lady, and said first: "Then there is Lao Niangzi." It's not that I'm lazy for my husband, but I really can't handle this word. It's about filial piety to grandma, please work hard. ”
Although Hu Wanniang looks like she is not dead or alive at every turn, she has always been subject to three obedience and four virtues, and she does not dare to really accept the courtesy of her own man, so she hurriedly avoids it sideways. She probably also felt that her attitude during the day was excessive, and she reluctantly smiled: "This matter is also my duty as a junior, why should the minister say anything about hard work." I don't know what the princess wants to write, the concubine is shallow in learning, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to write that splendid article. ”
"You don't have to, what to write, for the husband to think about it, just a few words. When you're done, let the pendant take your handwriting and embroider it again, and that's it. ”
Wanniang nodded: "Everything is under the orders of the prime minister." ”
Although the atmosphere has eased, Yan Hong still doesn't have the courage to make love to this genuine lady of his. When I think of that attitude during the day, I always feel that something is wrong.
Before the crossing, Yan Hong bullied others and wantonly abused his wife, so Hu Wanniang was resentful, so she had a different dream with him, which is not unusual. Hu Wanniang was jealous and did not allow Yan Hong to take a concubine, which is also normal.
However, looking at Hu Wanniang's posture, it seems that she is faintly provoking Yan Hong, angering him, and wanting him to divorce his wife. It's weird.
I have been here for a long time, and I know a lot of things. The Ming Dynasty is not the future of equality between men and women, in this era, if the wife commits seven offenses, and the man gives his wife, there is no equal division of property, that is, a sweep out of the house, and such a swept out of the women's life, in the mother's family life is not much better.
Of course, there are a few people who can be divorced and marry another person, but after all, they are rare, and they belong to extreme cases that cannot be used as reference examples, not to mention the abandoned women of the Yan family, how many people dare to ask for it?
So there must be something wrong with this, but I don't know what the problem is. Since Yan Dong came to possess Yan Hong many days ago, the memory of Yan Hong's body was originally only partially retained. In addition, maybe it's because Yan Hong's body is secretive about some things, or maybe Yan Hong himself is confused, and he doesn't even want to think about it, and he doesn't dare to think about it...... makes the information of this family really fragmented, and it is much more complicated than various mystery novels on the Internet.
Yan Donglai was not a person who liked to peel off the cocoon and drill the tip of the horns of the bull at the beginning, and it was okay to find the real culprit when he looked at Conan, but when it came to human feelings, his eyes were suddenly dazzled. So if he sees through the truth like this, of course, it is difficult for a strong man.
Think about the words of the Lu Da spy that day, pay more attention to the inner house, if the problem of the inner house is not solved, it will not be safe after all.
Yan Hong decided that after his grandmother's birthday passed, he had to make this matter clear.
