Chapter 3 Who is this mother-in-law?
"Mother, who is this mother-in-law?" Before the warmth trick was played, Xue Qing's words stunned everyone.
Xue Qing saw that the face of the jewelry shelf was a little distorted, and then his eyes widened involuntarily, and finally slowly calmed down. It's a wonderful change in expression.
"This is Aunt Wen, your father's concubine."
Mrs. Xue's words were truthful, and there was no adulteration, but it was very heart-piercing, not only piercing the heart of warmth, but also piercing the heart of the little girl next to her. That person is Xue Lan, her mother is just a concubine, and she herself is just a concubine. And the stupid little girl in front of her was a concubine, and her father traveled all over the world to ask for a miracle doctor for her, but she never came back for ten years.
"Oh, what about this?"
Xue Qing pointed to the elegant woman, who was as quiet as an ornament at this time. Xue Qing couldn't see her gaze, but he could feel her coldness.
"It's the same with this one, you can call her Aunt Wen. Ahem! Mrs. Xue coughed out at the right time, and everyone didn't dare to delay any longer.
"Xue Lan visits her mother."
"Xue Fang visits her mother"
The two little girls saluted Mrs. Xue, and then called out to Xue Qing and the third sister stopped talking. Mama Fu helped Mrs. Xue to walk to the house, and a group of people behind could only follow behind.
"Shuya, don't be complacent, see how many days you can live?" Mrs. Xue, who looked at her walking a little slowly and shook three steps with warmth, felt a burst of joy in her heart.
Mrs. Xue's courtyard is the largest courtyard in this Taifu Mansion, called Lanfang Courtyard. The entire Lanfang Courtyard is very large, and there are more than 20 people retained in the courtyard. As soon as Mrs. Xue entered the courtyard, she found that the eyes of all the subordinates were looking at Wen Qing, and she knew in her heart that they were probably no longer her own people.
But fortunately, they have the dowry they brought at the beginning, and they have been traveling around with them. Even though there are only a dozen people, they can still be busy.
"Aunt Wen has worked hard to manage the Taifu Mansion over the years. I've cleaned up this house very well. ”
Mrs. Xue sat down in the courtyard and looked around, this is the effect of regular care, this warmth will work so hard to help take care of her yard?
"Hehe, my sister is polite, this is what my sister should do." Wenqing smiled very reluctantly, but because of his identity, he could only deal with it hastily.
"Aunt Wen, my wife has no sisters, you should call my lady Mrs. Madame!"
"This ......" was a little embarrassed by Mama Fu's words, but she quickly adjusted her mood and blessed Mrs. Xue.
"Madam, there is still a lot of work to prepare when the master comes back, and he will retire without warmth."
"Go ahead! It's late tonight, you can rest after you arrange things! Tomorrow morning, remember to bring the account book and treasury key of the Taifu Mansion. ”
"Here, Madame has been traveling all the way, is it okay to rest for a while?"
"It's okay, I don't have anything to do in the house, I've worked hard for all these years, and you pay 10,000 taels of silver from the account office when you turn around, which can be regarded as a reward for your hard work all these years." Mrs. Xue took the fragrant tea sent by Mama Fu and was leisurely. He said the words of reward, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
The warmth was swallowed there, and it was really a little uncomfortable to go up or down.
"Mrs. Xie."
Both aunts are gone, and they are in a hurry. Mrs. Xue knew what they were in a hurry to do, and Mrs. Xue hadn't come back yet, so they had to pack up and go to meet their husbands. Looking at the two obstructive concubines, Mrs. Xue couldn't be happy.
"Why is my mother unhappy?"
"It's nothing, Qing'er, do you want to see your room?"
Mrs. Xue led Xue Qing to the courtyard and met several subordinates, but no one saluted them. Mrs. Xue frowned, and said to Mama Fu: "Let these people all go out, and no one will be left." Assign the people we brought back, arrange them first, and wait until tomorrow to let Xue Li buy a few people back. ”
"Yes."
Mama Fu did not follow Mrs. Xue to Xue Qing's room, but to deal with the people in the courtyard. Saying goodbye to Mama Fu, Mrs. Xue took Xue Qing to the main courtyard, both of them were walking in the wind, where did they still look sick.
"Mother, I don't like Taifufu, let's go!" Xue Qing didn't like the people here, she didn't want to stay here.
Mrs. Xue touched her daughter's little head helplessly. She didn't want to leave, but her husband was a Taifu, and he had to work hard for the entire Celestial Empire, and he couldn't take care of their small family.
"There's your brother here, there's your father, we're not going anywhere."
Xue Qing pouted and said unhappily when he heard this: "There is no elder brother here, my brother is obviously in Yuelu Academy, why should I let my elder brother come back here." He didn't like it either. ”
Mrs. Xue is helpless, this is their home, and they can't always let those people occupy it. At the beginning, he was weak, and his husband was even more confused, and he had those two concubines.
Those two people are the two thorns in the hearts of themselves and their husbands, they can't pull them out, they can't go away, they can only stick there alive, watching them rot their own flesh and skin, rot their hearts.
"This year's Spring Festival, your brother will come to participate, and our family will stay in the capital at that time. In the future, you will be the biggest in this family, and no one can bully you. ”
"Mother, I don't like this yard, I want to find a place to live by myself."
"Yes, all the places in this Taifu Mansion are ours, you can live wherever you want." Mrs. Xue doted on her daughter, and involuntarily took Xue Qing to visit the Taifu Mansion.
The Taifu Mansion has a large area and many yards, and Xue Qing is a little unable to distinguish the way. There is a large garden in the backyard with a natural lake, pavilions and pavilions can be found everywhere in the garden, and some yards have their own small gardens with lotus ponds and koi fish.
"Mother, our house is quite big, who are so many empty yards left for?" Passing by an empty courtyard again, Xue Qing asked.
Mrs. Xue sneered when she heard this, so many empty courtyards were not intended for more concubines. My mother-in-law, but I'm afraid that their Xue family's heirs are thin! Fortunately, she was no longer there when she was a child, otherwise how could they go.
Xue Qing finally fell in love with a small attic near the back door, with a small pond inside. She wanted to move in early, so she planned to find someone to clean up. It's just that the people in the house don't know her yet, and it's not easy for her to instruct everyone to do it.
"Fang'er has seen her mother and her third sister." Aunt Wen's daughter Xue Fang saw Mrs. Xue and Xue Qing coming over and saluted the two of them.
"You live nearby?"
"Yes, we live in that yard across the street." Xue Fang pointed to a courtyard in the distance, it was very quiet, and it should be planted with bamboo, which was quite poetic. She was very close to Xue Qing and nervously wanted to pull Xue Qing's clothes.
"Go ahead!"
Mrs. Xue saw that she was submissive, and she didn't plan to say anything to this concubine, so she sent her away. After Xue Fang left, Xue Qing wanted to follow his mother back to Lanfang Courtyard, but he didn't want to fall in front of him.
