The wind and snow outside are a bit heavy.

When Second Master Ruan came to the main hall of Fuyuan Hall with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the little guy who followed him was busy helping Second Master Ruan gently pat away the snowflakes, and helped Second Master Ruan to fade the big curtain outside.

Second Master Ruan glanced at Second Mrs. An, ignored her, and looked at the old lady of Pingguo: "I don't know if my mother called my son over, what's the matter?" ”

The old lady of Pingguo didn't want to lose the face of the second master Ruan in front of outsiders, she paused, looked at An Ruyi, An Ruyi understood, pinched a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and bowed to the old lady of Pingguo: "Yi'er went to the side room first." ”

The old lady of Pingguo called out Chunjing: "Go and accompany Miss An to do needlework for a while." ”

Chunjing hung his head and responded, carrying an embroidered basket and following An Ruyi.

An Ruyi pursed her lips, and looked at Second Master Ruan with slightly swollen eyes: "Uncle, please treat my aunt well, my aunt has been so many years, it is not easy." There was a whimper in her voice, and it was very sincere.

Second Master Ruan was a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded.

Although An Ruyi is not very satisfied, but after all, this is an elder of another family, she understands that if she talks too much, it will backfire, making Second Master Ruan bored, and she can't talk about her family affairs at that time, Second Master Ruan will not only not exert his strength, but will also drag his feet.

An Ruyi didn't say anything more, blessed Second Master Ruan and Second Lady An, and led Chunjing out.

Fang Hanniang also wanted to avoid it, but the old lady of Pingguo grabbed Fang Hanniang's sleeve and signaled that she didn't need to avoid it.

In the eyes of the old lady of Pingguo, there is no need to avoid Fang Hanniang in this family.

Shameful? How was it not a shame when I did it at the beginning!

The old lady of Pingguo looked down, looked at the second master Ruan, and suddenly shouted: "You still have the face to say!" ”

Fang Hanniang was taken aback by the old lady of Pingguo, and hurriedly took the hand of the old lady of Pingguo, and persuaded her: "Grandmother, didn't the doctor say that you should quit being dry and angry, and smile often, so that your body will be better." ”

When the old lady of Pingguo saw her beloved granddaughter holding her hand like this and saying ironing words, her heart had already softened, and the anger that had just accumulated was also dispersed a lot.

Yes, she has to take good care of her body, and she has to raise her spirit to choose a husband for her obedient girl, and watch her obedient girl marry out and give birth to a fat boy, so that she can go to see Qingqing underground.

So the old lady of Pingguo patted Fang Hanniang's hand, turned her head, and looked at Second Master Ruan calmly: "Your niece knows that I am so old, so I can't be angry." You're good, over and over again, you just want to be angry with me...... Second child, you are also a lot older, and there are many nieces and nephews calling your second grandfather, you don't want to think about it, this is how you became a grandfather for them? Teach them not to be filial and disrespectful to their elders? ”

Both the tone and attitude of these words were much more relaxed than Fang Cai's attitude, but the reproach revealed in these words made a drop of cold sweat flow from the corner of Ruan Er's forehead, and he hurriedly knelt down: "Mother, where are you talking about this?" Where does a son dare not honor his mother? ”

The old lady of Pingguo snorted coldly, and her expression was fierce: "Where is not filial piety?!" You ignore the family motto of the family, put an outer room outside, and have an illegitimate child, is this honoring me?! …… Our family has passed down so many generations of family mottos, and you have violated it so arrogantly?! You're watching your father leave, and my wife can't control you?! Wouldn't you like to be angry with me sooner?! ”

The old lady of Pingguo is like a knife, every sentence is sharper than the other, and the second old man Ruan's face is as white as paper, where dare to respond to half a sentence, and kowtow to the old lady of Pingguo in a panic, and say: "Mother, how dare my son, my son doesn't dare!" ”

Second Mrs. An laughed coldly: "How dare you?" …… You have an illegitimate child, how dare you? …… If you don't have a son, it's okay, I, An Yue'er, am also familiar with the training of the girl, and I can still watch you die? If you really don't have a son, I will buy you a concubine for the first one, and if you can't give birth to one, then buy two. It is always necessary for you to have a pot to hold and break the pot after 200 years, and to let you enjoy the incense sacrifice of future generations. You're good, now we are all fourteen years old, although we often have a little illness, but we have survived until now...... Do you think that Bai'er is not in good health, so he is not worthy of being your son, so he has to have an illegitimate child outside to replace him? ”

Second Mrs. An asked aggressively, Second Master Ruan's face was very unsightly, and he said in a low voice: "Madam, let's talk about it when we go back...... Don't mess with ...... yet."

Second Mrs. An seemed to have heard some joke, she laughed twice as if she was mocking, but the corners of her eyes were red: "Oh, now that your illegitimate son is gone, dead, you tell me to go back and talk about it...... Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why didn't you tell me when your bastard didn't die? If it weren't for that Kong family, who came to the house, how long would you want to hide it from me and Bai'er? …… A year? Two years? Or for a lifetime? …… Ruan Er, do you plan that when you die, your outer chamber and illegitimate son will come over to cloak you in linen and wear filial piety, and I only know that there is such a person? ”

Second Master Ruan was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.

The old lady of Pingguo looked at the couple, and her face was not very good-looking.

Fang Hanniang gently pulled the sleeve of the old lady of Laping Guo with some concern.

The old lady of Pingguo patted the back of Fang Hanniang's hand and signaled her to rest assured.

Seeing this, the green warbler breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was a cousin girl, who could ease the old lady's mood. Otherwise, she was really afraid that the old lady would faint from anger again, and the damage to her body would be too great.

The old lady of Pingguo said slowly: "Second child, I don't care what happened to you before, you always have to give your daughter-in-law an explanation." You can handle the affairs between your husband and wife. I'm old, and I didn't want to worry about your back house, but this time, you said you were going to take that woman into the house...... What the hell do you think about this? ”

Second Master Ruan kowtowed to the old lady of Pingguo again, and his spine seemed to be many years old, slightly stiff. He looked very tired: "Mother, you probably know that the child is gone...... I couldn't stand the mother and son, and I only went to see them for a few months when the child was alive. Bai'er's body mother also knew it, so she thought that he would be able to support Bai'er when he grew up in the future...... Who knew that the child was a blessed man, and he went at a young age. I thought, I can't stand this kid, damn, I can't stand it anymore......"

After hearing this, the old lady of Pingguo was silent.

Second Mrs. An's expression became excited again, she got up from the chair, strode up to Second Master Ruan, and pushed him hard, her expression was a little out of control, and her voice became sharp: "Second Ruan!" You have a good conscience! Yes? You said that you can't stand that mother and son, then you say, are you worthy of me and Bai'er?! You just think that you can't stand them, when have you ever thought about me and Bai'er! …… Okay, you brought that slut who was willing to be an outer room into the mansion, did you want the entire lady and wife in the capital to see my jokes?! How will I go out in the future to run for Bai'er's future?! Bai'er, Bai'er is such a good child, do you still want to call her a concubine! …… Have you thought about me?! Have you ever thought about Bai'er!? ”

The more Mrs. An spoke, the more excited she became, the more excited she became, and she choked up and cried as she spoke.

Second Master Ruan set up an outer room, not that he has no feelings for Second Mrs. An, on the contrary, because of the existence of this outer room and illegitimate children, he has more guilt towards Second Mrs. An. Seeing Second Mrs. An crying so sadly now, he only felt as if he had been cut by a knife, and he was uncomfortable.

Second Master Ruan hurriedly stood up from the ground and grabbed Second Mrs. An: "Yue'er, I naturally can't stand your mother and son...... I ......"

Second Mrs. An shook off Second Master Ruan's hand, wiped her face vigorously, and looked at Second Master Ruan through gritted teeth: "You know that you can't live with our mother and son, and you still told me that you want to take her in as a concubine?!" Ruan Er, that's how you did me?! …… I'll tell you the truth, you're dead to this heart! You want to bring her in, well, no problem! The two of us are reconciled! ”

The rumbling of the two big characters almost startled everyone in the Fuhui Hall.

The old lady of Pingguo lost all the color on her face, looked at this, looked at that, and moved her lips slightly, but in the end, she still didn't say anything, and turned into a helpless sigh.

She is old, and it is not good to take care of her son and daughter-in-law.

The old lady of Pingguo looked a little listless, and said coyly: "I don't care about your business." I'm so old, I want to be safe and stable, and I want to be blessed for a few days. He stood up directly.

Fang Hanniang hurriedly followed and got up: "Grandmother, I'll help you, be careful." ”

She took the old lady of Pingguo's hand and walked out of the hall along the aisle in the room.

……

The old lady of Pingguo looked a little depressed, and Fang Hanniang helped her to the bedroom and helped the old lady to the bed.

The old lady's face was also very tired, she leaned on the big pillow on the bed, and said to the same Fang Hanniang who was a little depressed: "...... Your second uncle, at such an old age, why did he suddenly make such a mistake. There are so many dignitaries in Beijing, and in the end they all declined, most of the reasons are not because of the problem of concubines? …… has a concubine, so when the family is divided, you have to give the family property to the concubine. The birth of the concubine determines their starting point and limits their development, and most of that part of the family property is equivalent to taking it out for nothing to raise an idler...... Slowly, the family also declined. The reason why our Pingguo Mansion stands in Darong and has always found a place in the imperial court after the change of dynasties is also one of the reasons...... Your second uncle, you shouldn't understand......"

Fang Hanniang sighed secretly.
