"Dad, mother, I want to ask a gentleman for Shuang'er to teach her to read, and my mother also has time to teach her needlework or something, after all, she is a girl." The second brother raised his main topic, and I could only raise my head again.

"But...... Shuang'er is only three years old! The old lady looked at me for help, and I smiled at her, which was reassuring, "The nurse took the young lady out to eat!" The nurse hurriedly went out with the frost in her arms.

Let's look at the second brother. I thought about it for a moment and smiled: "Second brother, do you blame me for spoiling Shuang'er?" ”

"Sister-in-law loves Shuang'er so much, and the younger brother is only grateful, how dare he doubt his sister-in-law? It's just that Shuang'er's mother is gone, and the sister-in-law cherishes Shuang'er, and she is reluctant to suffer from Shuang'er, which will only make Shuang'er's mother uneasy. ”

"Or do I coddle!" I sighed and thought for a moment, "Second brother, who do you want Shuang'er to look like?" Me or my brother-in-law? ”

He was stunned for a moment, looked at me, didn't know what I wanted to say, thought about it seriously, and finally didn't speak, fortunately he didn't say that he wanted to be like his brother-in-law.

I smiled: "Second brother, I promise you, I will never dot on Shuang'er, Shuang'er is by my side, she will not be as weak as my brother and daughter-in-law, she will study, she will also learn female red, cooking, I will teach, but not now." ”

"Lady, are you trespassing? Second, your daughter is yours, decide what you want to do. The eldest young master stopped me in a deep voice.

"Xianggong!" I could no longer take this person as a transparent person and glared at him angrily, "What qualifies a person who does not contribute anything to the family to speak?" Do you know how much time your brother and daughter-in-law have spent walking out of the house in the past three years? In her last year, she didn't even have the strength to hold a needle and thread, you know? When Frost was born, do you know how many pounds it is? She's like this today, you wouldn't think she was born to be so healthy and happy, would you? said that she was three years old, but a two-year-old girl, could she be in such a hurry to study and learn to be popular? Lock her up and train her to be like her brother and daughter-in-law, who died at the age of twenty? A woman's lack of talent is virtue, what you said, and now let her study, what do you think? "I'm so angry.

"Sister-in-law, the second child just proposed it for everyone to discuss, let's talk about this later! Your mother said, let you take care of the house, the affairs of the family are all your business, before Shuang'er has no bride, it is all in charge of you, how you want to manage and teach, you have the final say. The old man, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, he touched his beard and glanced at the eldest young master, "I think your daughter-in-law has a saying that is very right, people who have not contributed to the family are not qualified to speak!" ”

"Isn't it husband and wife? If she contributes to this family, it means that I have contributed too! He laughed again, and his face became so suspicious that it was someone else who had just spoken in a deep voice.

I stared at this man who is my husband, there must be a limit to shamelessness, I have never seen such shamelessness, I took a deep breath, I lowered my head, what can I do in this patriarchal society. But then again, even in modern society, you can only speak quickly for a while, and it's really useless to scold your husband in front of your in-laws, just wait for a divorce.

After dinner, as usual I will go to the account room to clean up yesterday's accounts, and then arrange today's work, and Frost is also very accustomed to getting into my arms, waiting for me to carry her to the account room, at this time she will play on the side, and when I finish my work, I will play with her. The second brother should have left home to go to the bunk, but today he also went into the tent with me.

"What's wrong?" I thought he had something to say, sat down, asked someone to serve tea, and asked carefully. After eating, no one is really thirsty, but let the subordinates have something to do, and they don't have time to listen to us.

"My sister-in-law seems to have changed a little." The second brother didn't seem to have anything to do, he just came to chat with me, I was stunned for a moment, the defense of men and women in the Tang Dynasty is not strict, but the etiquette between uncle and sister-in-law is also required, if there is anything, the two of us have only a dead end.

"What does the second brother want to say?" I hesitated, holding Frost to hold my composure.

"The little brother doesn't want Shuang'er to be like her mother, but ...... I don't want the frost to be like you, either. He put down the bowl and looked me straight in the eye.

"Yes! Nothing good like me. Parents don't want their children to be ordinary and happy. Frost is too smart, and if it is not stopped, the consequences will be unimaginable. I know the second brother's intentions. I immediately understood what he meant, and nodded. Yes, in this era, a woman who is too strong can only be injured by herself, but it seems that it is the same in any era, maybe it is really free to be like Wu Zetian.

"The little brother has trespassed." He stood up and gave me a long sway, and I smiled.

"It's me who trespasses, my daughter is yours, you are naturally worried, how to say that I am just an outsider, although I have love and compassion, but I am far less thoughtful than the second brother."

"Sister-in-law!" The second brother sighed helplessly, "If the sister-in-law continues to say this, the younger brother will be really shameless." Shuang'er is too sticky to the sister-in-law, even if the sister-in-law doesn't teach, I'm afraid that the future style of behavior will be the same as the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law said that she won't spoil Shuang'er, the younger brother is convinced of this, but ......"

"Second brother, what I just said is the truth, I want to make Shuang'er happy so much, I hope she grows up happy and healthy. But I never really thought about her future, the second brother's idea just now was right, like me is not good, in fact, Shuang'er's happiest ending should be like her mother. Can you wait a little longer? After two years, when Shuang'er is older, I will let my mother raise me, and I promise that I will slowly restrain myself and not let Shuang'er imitate me. ”

"Thank you!" He smiled slightly, bowed and went out.

I looked at the frost in my arms, and I didn't know if she could understand it, but I should know that we were all discussing it for her, so she behaved very well-behaved and really smart. I couldn't help scratching her tiny little nose and muttering to myself, "Alas! You little man, how did you get it? ”

"Why can't you be like a great aunt?" She saw me laughing, and finally spoke.

"Because I will be very bitter, just like taking bitter medicine, does Shuang'er want to live like my aunt who takes bitter medicine every day?"

"How can the eldest aunt take bitter medicine every day and lie to me!" She didn't believe me, jumped off my lap, and ran out into the yard to play.

I laughed, yes, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, like me is bitter, my brother and daughter-in-law are not more bitter, I can't marry the person I want to marry, I have children against my will, and finally force myself to death. My suffering is seen by others, and her suffering is probably only known to her and her second brother, right? I let out a long sigh.

"Is it bitter?" A nasty voice, I don't need to ask to know that I am "Xianggong". Only when I stood up, was welcomed, sat down again, and pretended to concentrate on reading the account book, I would not give him the opportunity to say that I had no virtue and complain about my husband's family.

The ledger was snatched out of my hand, and I had to look at the Lady Xianggong, who was already sitting next to me. But he didn't look at me, but looked at the account book, and thought about it, he had been a housekeeper back then, and he shouldn't have returned it to Mr. after leaving for three years. He seemed to notice that I was looking at him, flipped through the ledger and put it back on the table seemingly nonchalantly.

"The second child has done a good job in the past few years, and you really know how to take care of the house, at least much better than your mother." He didn't succeed in covering it up, and I think he seems to care about it, but if you love money and firstborn, you shouldn't suddenly run away from home. For the first time I felt his uneasiness, and when I thought of the voice that had just stopped me at the dinner table, for the first time I wanted to see what was hidden under the ruffian's face. What happened to him in the past three years?
