Chapter 4: Personality
In the East Courtyard of the Lin Mansion, Yang Wan asked with a concerned face: "Mom, I heard that the clan wrote a letter again, what did they write?" β
"What else can I do, repeat the same old tune, and say the next thing." Aunt Lin sneered.
Looking at the anger on her mother's face, Yang Wan sighed and said, "Mom, although some of the previous practices in the clan were indeed inappropriate, they did nothing wrong in this matter. The four-o'clock sacrifice of my father and brother, we are still here, naturally there is no problem, but ......"
Aunt Lin raised her eyebrows and interrupted her: "If it weren't for them, how could you have fallen into the current situation of being a wife and a concubine?" It stands to reason that you should be a big red sedan chair, a big red wedding dress, a Ming media is marrying, and you should be the wife of the head of the house. But they hurt you, you don't have this possibility in your life. I'm not asking you to retaliate for the damage you've been so badly by them, but you at least have a memory, right? As a result, you still help them speak, why are you so unrigid! β
Speaking of the back, the annoyed Aunt Lin patted her daughter's back again and again, and while counting, she couldn't help but tear up when she thought of what the clan had done since her son died, as well as what happened to their mother and daughter.
Yang Wan saw her mother crying, she was a little overwhelmed, and tried to comfort her: "Mom, don't cry." Actually, I'm doing pretty well now. β
Hearing this, Aunt Lin was almost angry, and couldn't help but ask, "It's good?" What's a good way? You tell me, can you be honest and honest, without Jia Min's permission, and socialize with those official wives? Will people associate with you? People post to invite people to banquets, play, and partiesγ...... Do you have your share? β
Seeing her daughter's face turn pale little by little under her questioning, Aunt Lin endured the heartache like a knife cut, and said, "Even if it is your so-called good now, I have worked hard to help you plan regardless of your face." If I hadn't helped you plan, what do you think would be the end of your life now? β
Yang Wan bowed her head and was silent, and after a long time, she said softly: "Mom is dedicated to me, I know, I just don't think I should pull Brother Sumire in." β
Looking at her, Aunt Lin sighed and said, "You blame me for lying that Brother Sumire is a boy?" But you don't want to think about it, Jia Min broke out her pregnancy before you even entered the door; Before he was born, after the doctors who came and went touched the pulse, they all said with great certainty that it was a boy. She was born a son-in-law. You are what I have taught according to the standards of a woman, and you should know and you know. You won't fail to understand what that means?
In the backyard, even if it is a main house, the most important thing is still the heir. Why did Jia Min agree to let you do the second room? She wouldn't know the difference between the second room and the other concubines? Will you not know that the second room can replace her? Do you know, as Brother Hai'er's cousin, your second room is not an ordinary second room, and the threat to her is greater? β¦β¦
But do you know it works? Useless. Because she has married into the Lin family for many years, she has not been able to give birth to a descendant of the inheritance of the Lin family, because she has only one daughter under her knees, no male child, and her waist is not hard, so whether she wants to or not, she can only agree. β
Lin Jin, who was taking a nap on the side, was woken up by the sound of Aunt Lin and Yang Wan talking, knowing that Aunt Lin was talking about the rules of this world, and thought of Wang Xifeng. After knowing that Jia Lian secretly married Second Sister You, although he gritted his teeth with hatred, no matter how much trouble he made, he only dared to make a fuss about the identity of Second Sister You and the time when Jia Lian married Second Sister You, but he didn't dare to say that Jia Lian's marriage to Second Sister You was wrong.
The reason is not because she only has a daughter like Sister Qiao, and no matter what the real reason for Jia Lian to marry Second Sister You is, a sentence for the heir can block her speechless.
Aunt Lin glanced at her daughter with hatred, "When I knew that Jia Min was pregnant, I had a bad feeling. Sure enough, relying on the piece of meat in her belly as a 'talisman', her grandmother and companion began to behave like demons, almost ruining you. But after being caught, Jia Min, the main messenger behind the scenes, insisted that he didn't know anything, and it was his subordinates who made his claims. Do you believe this?
If Jia Min is not pregnant, take a step back and say, if she is only pregnant with a female fetus, our life should be okay; But she said she was pregnant with a boy. Before the child was born, she was so rampant; When the child is born, does the Lin family still have the place where you stand?
No matter how good the name of the second room is, she is still not the wife of the house, she is still just a concubine. You are already shorter than others, and your relationship with Hai Ge'er is also average. In the backyard, with Jia Min's years of operation, if she has another boy, if there is no boy on your side to support you, do you think your life will be like this? Dream on! β
"But, but ......" Yang Wan thought of Lin Jin's true life experience, and said with a guilty face: "Brother Jin is not the blood of the master, we recognize her as the master's name, and we are already very sorry for the master, but we lied to the master again, saying that she is a boy......"
When Lin Jin heard this, she only felt a thrill, originally she thought that she was thunderous enough to be a woman and a man, but she didn't expect that there would be even more blood. She closed her eyes, pricked up her ears, and held her breath as she continued to eavesdrop on the cause, hoping to hear her true origins.
"Going to die, what nonsense are you talking about!" Aunt Lin subconsciously glanced at the sleeping Lin Jin and lowered her voice, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, Brother Jin is not Brother Hai'er's child, this topic is not allowed to be mentioned again, and it will never be mentioned again." It's good for you, as if you're afraid that others won't know, and you keep talking, what are you thinking?
Ordinary children are born when they are conceived in October, but she was born after staying in your womb for 14 months, so no one doubts her background in the house or outside, which shows that even God is on our side. In that case, wouldn't it be nice if we let this go and forget about it? β
Yang Wan's lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but Aunt Lin rushed in front and spoke: "You don't have to feel guilty about Brother Hai. You know, I didn't plan for you to let Hai Ge'er make a second room, but at that time, things evolved into the final situation, and it was no longer a question of whether we were willing or not, and we only had one way to go. Otherwise, unless the truth is told. But can we tell the truth?
The Yang family has no place for us, if the truth comes out, the Lin family will naturally not be able to accommodate us, at that time, where can our mother and daughter go? In the end, it will become like this, of course, there are reasons for our selfishness, but why is it not forced by the situation? If Jia Min wasn't aggressive, how could she be like this? We are at fault for this, but Jia Min is also half of the responsibility.
I've planned everything, and you're just at my disposal. I am the daughter of the Lin family, and I shouldn't have helped my mother's family, nor should I have calculated my own nephew, but I still did it. Therefore, no matter what is bad, no matter what the sins, I bear them all, I confess, and when I get to the ground, I will personally ask my parents and brother for the sins ......"
Hearing her words, the object of Yang Wan's guilt suddenly became her mother, and she couldn't help but speak: "Mom-"
Aunt Lin raised her hand to stop her from continuing, and continued: "Now that the wood is in the boat, it is useless for you to feel guilty about Brother Hai. As for Brother Sumire, to be honest, although I made her a boy, I think I am worthy of her, and I don't need to feel guilty. It stands to reason that in her situation, she should not have been born into this world, but she was not only born safely, but also had a very decent background, what else would she not be satisfied with? β
Lin Jin nodded secretly when she heard this, agreeing with Aunt Lin's words. In this day and age, it is not a good thing to bear the name of "illegitimate child".
In this era, the four classes of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, no matter which class she belongs to in the future, must be registered in the household registration of three generations of the paternal line.
If she grew up as a child with an "unknown father", where did she come from the three generations of the paternal line? There is no household registration, and in this society, it is either a black household or a slave. People in these two identities not only do not have any personal security, but it is also difficult for them to engage in a serious profession when they grow up.
Yang Wan looked embarrassed, and said worriedly: "But Brother Sumire is a girl after all, and now she is young, it's okay, when she grows up, she will be a man, what will you let her do?" β
Aunt Lin said: "After the birth of this child, I once asked someone to tell her fortune, saying that if she is a man, she is Dengmingtang, holding a jade wat and has a bright future. If it is a daughter, but it is a woman's body and a man's life, although there will inevitably be rebellion in the future, but he is the first person to keep the business, but there will be some disasters in it. β
"Mom, what you said is true?" Yang Wan was dumbfounded, her face was full of incredulity, and she looked like she wanted to believe it, but she didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Aunt Lin glanced at her and said, "It's not a big deal, what am I lying to you for?" In fact, I was a little skeptical at first, so I found a few masters to calculate, and the results were exactly the same, so I couldn't help but believe it.
I thought, this child was born fourteen months pregnant, and it was indeed a bit of luck. If her destiny is true, it is a good thing for us and for her. As for the future, now you are living in a mess, what do you want to do so far? In the future, let's talk about it in the future, maybe there will be a turn for the better. β
Aunt Lin has done everything she has said, what else can Yang Wan do? She sighed helplessly and resignedly: "I hope." β
