Chapter Twenty-Three: The Humiliation of the Mother
Wen Sanye closed the door and returned to his courtyard, at this time Wen Wan had already returned to her room to sleep, but the light in the main room was still on.
As soon as I walked in, I saw that my wife was half-leaning on the bed and taking a nap, her face was full of tiredness, but she was stubbornly waiting for her husband to return. After hearing the sound of the door opening, she immediately opened her eyes, and Princess Jiarou stepped forward to take off her coat for Wen Sanye.
"Husband, you're back."
Looking at the lady with a smile on her face, Wen Sanye suddenly felt a sense of unease and guilt in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly at those worried and gentle eyes.
"Go to sleep."
With that, he went straight to bed and put his clothes on his feet.
Princess Jiarou frowned slightly, looked at the man who had closed his eyes, his eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't say anything, she also lay on the bed, and also straightened the quilt for Wen Sanye.
Wen Sanye stayed awake all night.
Wen Wan had a good night's sleep, because the bed in Wen Mansion was moved from Jiangnan in advance, so it would not be uncomfortable to sleep, and the furnishings in the room were also in accordance with the layout of Jiangnan.
Even if there were a few spies, Princess Jiarou acquiesced.
"What time is it?"
Wen Wan asked in a daze as she looked at the scorching sunlight outside the window.
Zhihe raised the fan in his hand, it was still early summer, but the weather in the capital was inexplicably hot.
"It's noon soon, and the old lady will send a message this morning to let Miss sleep a little longer, and tell us not to disturb Miss."
Wen Wan rubbed her eyes, despite sleeping all night, her body was still heavy and panicked, and after looking around, she asked, "Where's Daddy?" ”
Zhihe said truthfully, "The lord went to the palace, and yesterday His Majesty was busy with affairs and couldn't see His Majesty, so I went again today." ”
Wen Wan couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, yesterday her father also said that she couldn't see the emperor, but he didn't expect that he didn't see him, and he looked down on their mother and daughter in the future, hum.
"Where's my mother?"
"Madame went to Rongde Courtyard early in the morning, she should be going to serve the old lady." When the words fell, a cold breath came out of Zhihe's soles.
Wen Wan smiled, "Let's go, let's also go to filial piety and filial piety to grandmother." ”
Zhihe always felt that the young lady's expression was a little weird, but she couldn't say what the reason was, so she couldn't help scooping up her hair, and ran to get the coat for the young lady to wear, and she was dressed up and washed, which delayed a lot of time.
Even when the dim sum was delivered to her, Wen Wan didn't want to eat it, so she walked straight to Rongdeyuan.
Before arriving at Rongde Courtyard, I heard the laughter inside, and a big smile rose on my gentle face, and I grew a lotus step by step, with a beautiful posture, like a small butterfly and flew into the courtyard.
"Sister Qing is really smart, such a difficult pair will be." The old lady praised.
Wen Jinqing snuggled up to the old lady, her beautiful face was full of smiles, and she was also intimately peeling melons and fruits in her hands, "It's all taught by grandmothers well." ”
"Sister Qing is really getting sweeter and sweeter." The second lady said with a smile.
The eldest lady also nodded proudly, "Sister Qing'er has been smart since she was a child. ”
The people in the courtyard are harmonious and happy, melons and fruits are readily available, and a few maids also serve the masters very well with tea and water at any time, but Princess Jiarou stands alone behind the old lady, gently pinching her shoulders and beating her back, if it is not for the gorgeous clothes, it really looks like a maid.
Wen Wan's smile deepened, and she shouted "Grandmother~"
"Third Miss!" The maids in the courtyard saluted one after another.
"Jing'an, come and sit at Grandmother's place."
The old lady patted the position on her side, and Wen Jinqing also vacated the place with interest, and walked quickly towards Wen Wan.
"Third sister, can you rest?"
"Big sister, I'm still a little tired, but I'm much better." Wen Wan smiled obediently, and the milk swallow rushed into the old lady's arms like homecoming.
"Grandmother~"
Although Wen Wan was not heavy, it also made the old lady's heart feel sullen and painful, and she was just about to scold angrily, when she saw those warm eyes.
"Grandmother, Wan'er misses you so much."
The old lady had to regain her smile, scolded angrily in her heart for being unruly, but said on her lips, "Monkey, grandmother also misses you to death, can you have breakfast this morning?" Did you get a good night's rest? ”
Seeing that her daughter's position was snatched by Wen Wan, the eldest lady's face was not very good-looking, but she also asked, "After running around for so many days, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
The second lady looked at her soft and lovely niece, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy, she gave birth to three sons, just one daughter, but the daughter has a strong temperament, not to mention coquettishness, she can't even say soft words. If Sister Hua is as obedient as Jing'an, she will not marry from other provinces early.
Wen Wanjiao snorted, "I'm not so delicate, my mother took care of me all the way, and she didn't say that she was tired, and I came to serve my grandmother early to freshen up, how can I be tired?" ”
“……”
The old lady always felt that Wen Wan was secretly scolding her for being ruthless, but when she saw those pure eyes, she felt that it was impossible.
Princess Jiarou, who has been silent, said softly, "It is right for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law, how can you say that she is tired." ”
The eldest lady said happily, "Yes, the third brother and sister are not in Beijing all the year round, and they have not been able to take care of them under their mother's knees. This tea and water, dressing cloth and vegetables are not allowed to let the three brothers and sisters come to serve, which can be regarded as a consolation of many years of shame. ”
The eldest lady wanted to shoot Princess Jiarou's ass, but who expected to shoot the horse's leg, Princess Jiarou didn't say anything, and Wen Wan ignored her, which made the eldest lady embarrassed for a while.
The second lady couldn't get used to it, "Where did the sister-in-law say, the third brother and sister are golden branches and jade leaves, how can they do such rough work." Although he is not under his mother's knees all the year round, he looks at Jing'an, who is getting better and better, and the third brother who is still handsome and chic, and he also knows that the third brother and sister have not been easy in the past ten years. ”
Princess Jiarou listened, a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, and her gaze at the second lady was a little gentle, "It's the responsibility of the daughter-in-law, so don't praise me." ”
Although the eldest lady is stupid, she is not a fool, and naturally she can see that Princess Jiarou is more inclined to the second lady, and her face is instantly embarrassed, but thinking of what the old lady said this morning, she can't help but disdain her heart.
"What about the golden branches and jade leaves, they all say that marrying a chicken is followed by a chicken and a dog is married to a dog, since you have entered the door of the Wen family, you must be filial to your in-laws, serve your husband, and raise children. The third brother and sister failed to give birth to a son for the third room, and they were already guilty of seven outs, and now if they can't serve their mother-in-law well, what is the difference between them and the maid ......in the room."
"Mother!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Jinqing, but even if he didn't say it, everyone guessed what the last sentence was.
The faces of everyone present changed.
Not only the second lady, but even the eldest lady herself regretted it instantly after saying these words, and her intestines were so blue with regret that her expression did not change in the slightest, it belonged to Wen Wan and Princess Jiarou, both of whom smiled lightly.
The old lady was almost happy, the eldest lady's words said to her heart, but she didn't expect that this clumsy eldest daughter-in-law was not useless, it seems that she has not hurt Sister Qing in vain all these years.
I used to think that this humble eldest daughter-in-law was useless, but now it seems that the eldest daughter-in-law among the three daughters-in-law treats her sincerely.
