Chapter 79: Trouble Comes to the Door
Coming back from Mrs. Shen, Chun Gui was lying on a beautiful couch under the corridor to enjoy the shade, and there was a chrysanthemum beside her, she just followed the "morning province" of Chun Hui, and also heard Mrs. Shen's words, and then couldn't help muttering: "Madame is so wary of Aunt Lu, I really don't know if I feel tired, I heard Sister Wenxi say, Aunt Lu used to be more trusted by Madame than her, it can be described as the first powerful arm by Madame's side, Aunt Lu herself did not have a different mind, it was Madame who took the initiative to promote her to serve the master, I didn't want to be jealous of my wife from then on. ”
It just so happened that Mother Song passed by, and when she heard this, she reached out and slapped Ju Shy's little buttocks, glared and scolded in a low voice: "Is there any appearance, you dare to lie crooked like this next to grandma, and dare to talk about the rights and wrongs of your wife behind your back!" ”
Chungui was worried that Ju would be punished, and he was also busy admonishing: "You shouldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of your wife." ”
How do you know that Mother Song lowered her voice even more, and continued to "ferment" this gossip: "A concubine like Aunt Lu, you still have to take precautions, grandma doesn't think that if she promotes the maid around her to become an aunt, she will definitely not have vain intentions, just take Aunt Lu as an example, if she really has no ambition, how can she be thinking about asking for a child?" ”
"That being the case, Madame shouldn't have promoted Aunt Lu in the first place." Ju Xi has always been timid, although she didn't dare to lie on her stomach anymore after being drunk by her mother, she couldn't help but still express her own opinions.
"What do you know about this big girl?!" Mother Song stretched out her fingers and poked her little daughter's head, and then calmly analyzed for Chungui: "Why did Mrs. promote Aunt Lu in the first place? It is said that it was because the lord went to visit Shangguan, and the political envoy of Shanxi Province gave the lord a beautiful concubine, who was once very favored, and the lady could not tolerate it, so that the temperament betrayed her, and the lord was angry that the lady was jealous, and the lady was left out in the cold for several days, and the lady took the initiative to mention the maid Wen Lu Cheng Aunt next to her, and resolved this turmoil. ”
"It is precisely because of this that the lady shouldn't dislike Aunt Lu?" Ju shy muttered: "If the lady doesn't want the lord to take a concubine, and sell the concubine sent by the boss, the lady is the queen's sister-in-law, the lord is angry and angry, and he can't really take the lady to help, why should the lady first use Aunt Lu to show favor, and then like a thief, isn't it asking for trouble?" ”
Chungui is not good at echoing Ju Xi, but he thinks so in his heart, and privately thinks that Mrs. Shen's practice of selling a concubine to set up a concubine, and later strictly preventing and suppressing the concubine she set up with her own hands is really incredible.
"Once a wife, jealousy is unacceptable!" Mother Song simply gave up educating her daughter, and just reminded Chun Gui: "Even the queen mother, can you still prevent the emperor from sitting on the three palaces and six courts?" Not to mention that the lady is just the sister of the queen's mother, even if she really can't tolerate the concubine sent by the boss, she can't leave behind the reputation of jealousy, and mention the trusted maid around her to become an aunt, this is not an extra move, but in addition to the potential threat, it also avoids the criticism of others, and who said that if you help Aunt Lu up, you shouldn't be careful? Mrs. now, but she gave birth to a son-in-law of the sixth master, and it is also appropriate not to let Aunt Lu have an heir immediately, just after two years, the master's freshness to Aunt Lu has passed, and then I will consider letting Aunt Lu give birth. ”
Chungui and Ju looked at each other, and the two daughters had a heart - they were so tired!
Ju Xi no longer argued with his mother, and only comforted Chungui: "It's still the best for a man like our old lady and master, respect his wife, and there has never been a concubine in the family, how many disputes have been saved?" Fortunately, the uncle is also a righteous gentleman, and grandma will definitely not be like Mrs. in the future, and the Chengri family will be tired of such idle things. ”
As soon as she said this, she received a few old punches from her mother, and then a scolding, and on a hot day, she was punished to clean the yard.
Chun Gui also sat up, took Song's mother's arm and persuaded: "Mom, just spare Aju this time, it's not the sun is scorching in the afternoon, if Aju gets heatstroked, won't my mother feel distressed again?" ”
"Grandma and slave maid, these two girls, grew up together, slave and maid know that grandma treats them as sisters, but now it's not as good as before, grandma doesn't have to indulge these two girls too much, especially Ju Shy, Guan is bolder than her sister, and dares to talk nonsense." Mother Song sighed, and while fanning the wind for Chungui, she said: "Uncle is indeed of good character, this is grandma's blessing, and the slave maid is not to annoy grandma, there are only some words, and they should be reminded." In a family like Taishifu, even if the uncle himself does not have the idea of taking a concubine, after a few years, when the grandmother has the eldest son, the elders of the family, such as Mrs. and Mrs., will also remind the grandmother that there must be someone to serve around the uncle, if the grandmother refuses, she always thinks that the parents of the mother's family are a couple for a lifetime, and they will inevitably be punished by the elders of the husband's family. ”
Having said that, Mother Song's expression was even more sad than the return of spring.
Chungui smiled and comforted her again: "What I saved was that since I failed to recruit money as my father said back then, and married another family as a daughter-in-law, I couldn't help but be as free and comfortable as I was in front of my parents. ”
It's still like this, as if the struggle with the mother-in-law and concubine is of the same nature as whether or not you can get up late.
Mother Song couldn't cry or laugh, but she couldn't help but think: Grandma is so broad-hearted, maybe it's really a good thing, a scholarly family like Taishifu must pay attention to family style, even if the uncle takes a concubine in the future, he will not spoil the concubine and kill his wife, as long as grandma can see it and don't ask for a couple in his life, there will be no worries and troubles.
It's just that what the master and servant didn't expect was that they thought that at least they wouldn't be in trouble, so they immediately found the door.
On the next day, but only three days of not seeing the third grandmother of the Wang family came to visit, Chungui originally felt surprised, but when he saw the guest, he looked at the charming and touching woman next to the third grandmother, and then listened to the third grandmother's introduction is her maiden sister, Chungui immediately went to the empowerment, and then had mixed feelings.
The secular confrontation with concubines is indeed a hard work that outweighs the losses, but she didn't want to recruit a bunch of flower-like "sisters" immediately, and then start a boring life of open and secret fighting, okay?
Mei Jealousy and Ju Shame are the Wang family who returned with Chun, and they know the intentions of Wang San's grandmother, and now they hear this girl boasting about her sister as a pearl baby, and even mention again that she wants to give her sister as a concubine regardless of shame, and she can't help but put her disdain directly on her face.
Qingping saw it in her eyes and was silent, but she quietly muttered a few words to Song's mother, so Mei and Ju were separated by their mothers, and Qingping accompanied them to entertain guests in spring, and the master and servant both smiled slightly, patiently listening to the boasting of Grandma Wangsan.
"Gu Niangzi look at my skirt, what a gorgeous folded branch peony, but it is the embroidery pattern drawn by my fifth sister herself, and it is not just a painting, my fifth sister's poems are well written, but it has been recognized by Xue Sanniang, Gu Niangzi is also from Fenyang, you should have heard of Xue Sanniang, right? Her grandfather served as the country's son of the priest wine, and Xue Sanniang is a recognized talented woman in Fenyang! This spring, Xue Sanniang invited my five sisters to participate in the peony poetry meeting, and personally praised my five sisters' poems for their good writing. Grandma Wang San was triumphant: "A talent like my fifth sister, Gu Niangzi settled down earlier, and when the big families in Fenyang knew about it, they would envy Zhao Sheren for having both a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine." ”
Qingping didn't care about Feng Wuniang at all, she only secretly paid attention to the new master's spring return, but saw that she didn't seem to hear the words of Wang San's grandmother, so she actually communicated with Feng Wuniang: "The fifth girl also thinks that the peony flower is a beautiful crown?" ”
"The world is accustomed to evaluating all kinds of flowers to the highest and inferior, and there are even nine products and nine lives, but according to the simple view of the slave family, Fangfei is not like a layman, no distinction between high and low, in short, it is open according to the time, and the season is defeated, how can I care about the praise of the world or humiliation? Although the peony has the name of the beautiful crown, it is not loved by everyone, and in the final analysis, it is still a flower in its own eyes. ”
Qingping was shocked when she heard Feng Wuniang's words: she never thought that Wang San's grandmother looked so vulgar and stupid, and her maiden sister was indeed beautiful, and this conversation really didn't look like a woman raised by a businessman's family.
I heard Feng Wuniang say again: "Gu Niangzi, don't blame, Sister Nu's words are exaggerated, even Peony still has people who evaluate the vulgarity, the slave family is a real vulgar person, how can everyone love it?" Sister advocated this, and the slave family listened to it, only to feel ashamed. ”
How do you know that Grandma Wang San is still a tendon: "My fifth sister is still a girl's family, her face is tender, I can't listen to praise her like this, but Gu Niangzi saw her today, she should know that I didn't tell a lie." ”
After staying for a while, still not waiting for Chungui to give a sentence, Grandma Wang San finally realized that the other party was afraid that the other party would not take this matter as a good talk, and actually offered to ask Mrs. Shen about her well-being.
To say that although Grandma Wang San is a guest of the Spring Return, but Mrs. Shen is a housewife, according to etiquette, Grandma Wang San should indeed go to ask for Ankang, but whether Mrs. Shen sees it or not, it is two words, after all, Grandma Wang San is not a distinguished guest, and she is still uninvited.
Chungui didn't understand the third grandmother's intentions, it was obvious that she was not enthusiastic enough, so she wanted to simply bypass her and speak directly to Mrs. Shen, she could have refused, but thinking of Mother Song's persuasion, and leaving comments on Qingping's small actions, she also wanted to test this "extraordinary" maid, to see how she would deal with such a thing, so she was not in a hurry to embarrass the third grandmother.
instructed Qingping: "Go and ask Madame if she is free at the moment." ”
