Mrs. Wan has never cared about other people's concubines and concubines, unless the other party comes to her and scolds her.

But the Wen family has always had a good reputation, and the temperament is gentle and submissive, after the children of the Xie family came to Beiping, the neighbors did not hear anything about her mistreating the children of another flat wife or the children of the concubine, but there were rumors that the children all respected her very much. Mrs. Wan thinks that Wen is the kind of soft-hearted mother who is raised stupidly, if she meets a sensible concubine, it is fine, but once she meets an ignorant and loving child, it is simply a rhythm of suffering with her own children but suffering and having nowhere to complain.

Therefore, today I suddenly heard Wen talking about worrying about the marriage of a concubine, as if there was something wrong with this concubine, Mrs. Wan immediately became interested: "What? This third child is disobedient? Are people stupid? Or is it ugly? ”

Wen said with a smile: "She was not ugly, she is very beautiful, in the past, when our family was still the head of the Cao family, the third girl often followed to the banquets of those dignitaries to increase her knowledge, and she earned some poetry before she came back." Around that time, she saw a lot of nobles, and because of her background, she was a little angry, so she had great ambitions in her heart, and she longed for those high-ranking families. But what is the origin of our family? Sister Wan knows it in her heart.

"In the past, when the Cao family was in charge, there were many princes' mansions, but she didn't have that hope, let alone now? The old man has always been a down-to-earth person, and I don't know any high-ranking officials, and our husband and wife say goodbye to the girls in the family, and they are all looking for a family with a clean style, a scholarly heritage, or an honest person. It doesn't matter whether a boy is a concubine or a concubine, but he needs to be honest and motivated. This is too far from what the third girl wants, although she doesn't say anything on weekdays, she ...... in her heart I'm afraid that I don't complain a lot about our elders, right? Now that the two eldest girls in our family have settled their marriages, it will be the turn of the three girls, how can she not be in a hurry? ”

"It's against her!" Mrs. Wan's eyes widened, "She's a girl and embarrassed to wonder if her own marriage can be successful?!" Who did her parents arrange for her to marry, she just had to marry obediently, and she was picky?! Your husband and wife are not the ones who hate the poor and love the rich, and they specifically find some crooked melons and bad dates for their children to marry, but they are just a little inferior in the family lineage, and that is also a good family! The girl who came out of the concubine still has a heart higher than the sky, and wants to marry better than the sisters who came out, why doesn't she go to heaven? ! ”

After scolding, Mrs. Wan asked Wen again: "This three girls, didn't you do anything ridiculous?" Is there any nonsense that you off? ”

"Not really." Wen smiled a little against his will and covered up for Xie Yingrong, "She's not a bold child, it's just that she leaks a thing or two between her daily words and deeds, she just likes to think nonsense, she really does something excessive, she doesn't dare." The most excessive, about the way north, passing through the capital, and reuniting with a good little sister from the past, heard that the little sister had been promised to a certain Houmen son, so he was very envious, and asked again and again, and wanted to use the relationship of the little sister to show her face at the banquet of the Hou Mansion, but it caused people to misunderstand, thinking that she coveted the fiancé of the little sister. It's a joke to say, and she can't even be ashamed of herself. ”

Speaking of this, Wen suddenly showed an annoyed expression: "Look at me, I almost forgot." The future husband's family of the little sister of the third girl seems to be your Pingchang Marquis Mansion. I'm afraid that if Sister Wan writes back to ask, she will be able to ask for even more ridiculous statements. ”

Mrs. Wan asked with great interest, "Which house is it?" What is the family name? ”

Wen replied, "I don't know which room." The little sister of the third girl, whose family is surnamed Bian, is the in-law of the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion. ”

"It turned out to be his house, so I know who it is." Mrs. Wan pursed her lips, "Erfang has always loved to brag about the son who has a meritorious name, and use that fame to ridicule the eldest and second child of my family. Actually, what's this? Who hasn't been successful in reading since childhood? It's just that the boys in our third room have always been finely raised, and their bodies are weaker, and they can't withstand the hard work of the township test. I'm afraid that they will be famous and their bodies will be ruined, so I just don't let them take the test. In a family like ours, the children in the family don't have to worry about the future, so why bother to fight for fame and future regardless of their bodies? When the children are a few years older and stronger, and then go to the exam, what kind of fame can't be obtained? Although the child in the second room took the exam, his body was so weak that it would break when the wind blew. He has several sons, and he doesn't take this second son to heart, but I'm not as ruthless as them! ”

Wen only felt that these words were indescribable, but he still nodded with a smile on his face: "The children's bodies are indeed more important, if they have a future, but their bodies are ruined, what is the use of a good future?" ”

"That's right! That's it! Mrs. Wan only felt that Wen's was a little more pleasing to the eye today, "The second room is really not as good as mine for my own children!" Don't look at their second child who has a reputation for showing off his talents, and it seems that he is often praised by his parents, but in fact, he is just a poor worm at the mercy of others! A good son, it is obvious that he is a material for reading, and if he doesn't tell him about decent family affairs, just marry the daughter of a high-ranking official and come back, which onion is the Bian family? It's just the in-laws of the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo, who have no roots and no foundation, and the girls in the family are also rough and rough-raised, how can they be worthy of the children of the Houmen Mansion like us? But in order to please the old lady of our family, the second room pushed out her son and married the Bian family just because the old lady and the lady in front of Ning Guohou were sisters. Isn't this ruining a child's life?! I can't do that! ”

The Wen family had only heard that the second room of the Pingchang Marquis Mansion said that this family affair was actually to borrow the power of the Yue family of Cheng Du, the big house of the Marquis of Ningguo, to find a famous teacher for their second son to seek advice, not all to please the old lady of the Pingchang Marquis. But Mrs. Wan seemed to have decided that this was the case, and she didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Wan took the opportunity to count a bunch of second-room people, and vented a lot of grievances from the conflict with the second-room before she left Beijing, before turning her attention back to Wen's previous topic: "If it is the in-laws of the second room, the Bian family, they will misunderstand that your daughter-in-law covets his son-in-law, so it is not surprising." His family was originally a small family, and he didn't have much knowledge, so he could only laugh and be generous! ”

After stepping on the in-laws in the second room for a few words, Mrs. Wan continued: "Although it is a misunderstanding of the Bian family, this concubine in your family is really dishonest. She is bent on marrying into a wealthy family, and if you can't get her way, what can she do? Can you still disobey orders and not get married?! ”

Wen smiled bitterly: "That's not it. I'm just worried that she will reluctantly refuse to live a good life with her son-in-law in the future, which will harm other people's good children. The old man also often said that if we didn't teach our daughters well, and caused other people's sons to suffer, and the back house was not peaceful, it would be a crime. For this reason, we are all worried about the marriage of the third girl, and we dare not look at each other for her. ”

Mrs. Wan's heart moved slightly.
