Chapter Forty-Nine: Governing the Family Well
"What kind of famous lady should I be, it turned out to be Fengyuan Grain Village, the orphan of the Qiu family."
Although Bai was grounded, he still had a full posture on his face, the moss-green gown was embroidered with green peony patterns, and the two sachets around her waist were also inlaid with jade beads, not to mention the weight of the pearls on her head.
"The slave family Qiuling has seen the eldest lady, and she met with the eldest lady in Tianxianglou many years ago, but I didn't expect the lady to remember the slave family."
Qin Huai sat on the right side of the Bai family, listening to the conversation between the two with her ears pricked up, she was no longer used to seeing the Bai family uninvited, and her not leaving at this time made the Bai family even more angry. But there was no way, the Qiu clan came, and the previous preparations were not easy to delay, so the Bai clan could only stubbornly lecture him.
In fact, the Bai clan didn't say that Qin Huai wouldn't know that these two people still had such a relationship, if it was the Bai clan that could have predicted today, it would have been secretly eliminated by the Qiu clan long ago.
Bai didn't care about Qiu's talk, and analyzed it today.
"At the beginning, Fengyuan Grain Village was copied by the Yamen because of trading with the black market, according to the law, as the daughter of the Qiu family and Lu, you are either confiscated into the army or sold cheaply, and you should be a slave. Since the master remembers that he was a good friend at the wine table with your father in the past, and he reluctantly lifted you, then stay and be a concubine. ”
A friend at the wine table pressed the relationship between Yan Luji and Qiu's father from a friend to a friend of wine and meat, and even the position of a businessman's daughter of the Qiu family was changed to a slave without a master. In order to consolidate his position, the Bai family really took great pains to turn the Qiu family's second room into a concubine.
Qin Huai saw that the Bai clan said this, thinking that it was not in line with his purpose of coming here today not to interfere with one or two, so he interrupted.
"My aunt is afraid that she has lived in Yunzhou for a long time and doesn't know what the law of Yu is today, two years ago, the female official had already changed most of the laws in cooperation with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, mainly to check and fill in the gaps, and take the essence to remove the dross. This private black market is no longer a big crime, at most it is to deduct some silver taels and punish him for a year or two and not to do business. ”
The Bai clan didn't expect Qin Huai to get so close to the Qiu clan when she said it, she was blocked back just a sentence, and she was naturally unhappy in her heart, but since Qin Huai had to bump into her, she was not afraid of a reprimand.
"These are all old things, let's not mention them for the time being, and I'm not so preconceived notions. As long as you are innocent, it is not difficult to enter the house justifiably, but if you enter the house while pregnant, most of the words you say will be ugly, and not only will you feel uncomfortable, but even the lord will be criticized. ”
Well, this sentence means that the Qiu family doesn't understand the importance of the matter, so the Yan family has fallen behind.
"If you're pregnant with a daughter, it's fine, but if you're a son, maybe there will be any rumors in the future. If I want me to say that for the sake of the child in your womb, you should find a master to calculate, or just come up with some evidence of your innocence before you met the master. It's not that I'm embarrassed for you, everyone knows that you have been living alone for three or four years, and you have long passed the age of the yellow flower girl, and you have something to do with someone, if you make it clear now, it will not be misunderstood by the people of the Yan family ancestral hall which wild species you are pregnant. ”
Qin Huai was extremely sensitive to this word, and when the Bai family said such a rumor, she already knew what the Bai family was going to pull after that.
Here, the Qiu family was suspected from head to toe for no reason, and the aggrieved came up, and asked rhetorically: "Big lady, how can you say this?" ”
Afraid that the Qiu clan would not talk, the Bai clan was even more willing to teach when she heard that she wanted to ask the truth, and his eyes stayed on Qin Huai for a moment, and comforted.
"It's not that I'm too careful, it's just that the Yan family has already learned from the past in confusing the matter of the heirs, and I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past in you."
Qin Huai knew that she would definitely be quick to talk to the Bai family today, wasn't her sentence the lesson of the past exactly herself?
"Eldest lady, I have always respected your identity, as well as the majesty of the Bai family in Yunzhou, even if you are for the reputation of the Yan family, it is not good to say these sad things to the slave family with white teeth. I asked myself that I had followed the master since I was downtrodden at home, and I only wanted to serve with all my heart, but the Bodhisattva hung the curtain and gave me, a helpless and miserable man, a child, which gave the slave family some hope. ”
Saying that, Qiu's actually sobbed, her kind of sobbing was like being wet by the rain, and she hung down weakly, letting the rain pass by her side, with tenacity in her grievances.
"If the master had wanted to cut me off, I wouldn't have dothered about it, but since the master promised me a chance to stay by my side, a roof to shelter from the wind and rain, and a name to be comforted, I would be willing to listen. But what you said today, Mrs., not only trampled the reputation of the slave family on the ground, but also trampled the reputation of the master on the ground, is this the way that the Bai family taught you to run the house? ”
It's really clever, after stopping in a few words, Qin Huai knew that the Qiu clan was not on the same path as himself. His usual method is to bring out the etiquette, and most of them are scoundrels and use their identities to oppress; And the Qiu family is willing to put himself in a low position, with a small and broad, but the way is to make men pity, but also to make the high position embarrassed.
Qin Huai knew that he shouldn't intervene at this time, so he looked at Bai Shi and wanted to see how she could continue to train.
There are some things that Cui Ming knows that the master can't say, so she can only say them from her mouth.
"It's really bold, Madame, this is kindly warning you, so that you will take less crooked paths and suffer less. What are you doing trying to influence your wife's decision? ”
Bai Shi shook his head, still putting on an angry look, and helped Qiu Shi speak.
"Forget Cui Ming, she is just a poor person, and she will have no relatives to discipline her after she is married, and it is reasonable for an orphan to have such an unreasonable idea."
"Madam, Qiu Ling is stupid, she only knows the truth that her husband is heaven, and there will never be a word of complaint about how the master arranges Qiu Ling to do it, but if the master does not let Qiu Ling be wronged, then Qiu Ling will never swallow half of the grievances."
Does this mean that what the Bai family said doesn't matter, everything is arranged by Yan Discipline?
Since the Bai family wants to point to Sang and scold Huai, of course Qin Huai will not take this breath, if she just accepts it today, she is estimated to be so angry that she will not be able to sleep in the second half of the night.
"Uncle, seventy or eighty percent of the new lady's belly is a boy, and my uncle only has Yan Mo as a son so far, but the Yan family has a big business, so naturally it needs a man to guard it. Uncle is desperate to raise another obedient and well-behaved heir, what objection do you have? ”
She had heard before that after Bai's firstborn gave birth to Jasper and made up as this twin sister, she was ready to conceive another child several times, but after several years, her stomach still did not move, and she asked the doctor who specializes in gynecology to say that she was too lost in the first child, and even if she was pregnant again, it was extremely difficult to really give birth.
After all, they are two daughters, and they are going to marry out in the future, if the son-in-law's family is prosperous, she will have face in the house, but if she is not careful, it is not good to marry, depending on her attitude towards Yan Mo, even if she has the position of the housewife in the family in the future, can she still feel good in her heart.
Maybe he can barely survive with the early death of Yan Mo's biological mother, but this Qiu clan is here, if there is really a useful son, how good would it be to squeeze her down. If her uncle had gone first, would she have been able to spend her old age safely?
After thinking about it so much, Qin Huai was suddenly able to understand Bai's approach, she was okay to use some means to consolidate her position, but the last thing she should do was to embarrass herself.
What happened after that, she was also to blame.
Bai Shi pinched his palms and didn't answer, Mingyue outside the room couldn't wait.
"Miss, a small servant came to the front hall to spread the word, saying that the prince of Guandu came to the door and indicated that he wanted to see you, Miss."
"See me?"
It's not a big deal for Guandu to come to the door, but why do you have to specify to see yourself?
"In that case, then I won't bother my aunt, how to decide some things, I should think about why I came here, and why I am in this situation."
Qin Huai turned around and was about to leave, and today was unhappy, and the Qiu clan was not willing to stay longer.
"Qiu Ling has also retired, so it won't prevent you from resting, Madame."
Cui Ming didn't want to let her go like this, so she said something to stop her.
"Slow, you are in a hurry to leave before Mrs. finishes speaking, what's the matter, there is no one in sight of you who is four months pregnant, so what if you enter the mansion after that."
Originally, the Qiu family had to ask the reason, but the Bai family was even more outrageous, directly cutting off half of her thoughts.
"Forget Cui Ming, it's okay to say that the little lady Qiu can't enter the mansion, don't be in a hurry to use the rules of the Yan family to discipline her so quickly, some wild sparrows are like this, and they are not born to be in the golden cage."
It was another pun, Qin Huai took Qiu's hand with a smile and shouted: "Don't worry, new lady, my aunt has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, how can you say that......"
Seeing Qin Huai's eager face, it seemed that he really couldn't think of the words that came to his lips, and Qiu was kind enough to choose a somewhat similar word for her.
"Insincerely?"
Qin Huai hesitated for a long time, and finally remembered the moment he stepped out of the house.
"Oh oh, I remember, that dog can't spit out ivory, she's kidding you."
Her words amused the guards at the door, and the Bai family naturally heard it, and they didn't say anything for a long time.
Qin Huai only cared about himself and had fun, and after finishing speaking, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of Bai's grinding teeth.
After walking for a while, the Qiu clan suddenly turned around and asked Qin Huai for a big gift.
"Thank you Miss Biao for your help today, otherwise I don't know if the slave family can come out well."
"It's a trivial matter, but I still have to go to the front hall to meet guests, and I can't send my wife back."
Qin Huai didn't care, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't know what advice Guandu had.
"Mingyue, you go back with your lady first, and let Yunu prepare to prepare...... Just tell her that if Qiu asked about her face, she didn't have to hide it, just tell the truth. ”
"Yes."
She deliberately lowered her voice in the second half of her sentence, so that Qiu Shi didn't hear it, and she went to the front yard alone to attend the meeting.
