Chapter 269: The Uneasy Liang Clan
Ah Hua was reluctant, but after all, it was what the girl ordered, and she still did it, otherwise the girl asked her to stay where she was cool tonight, wouldn't this be to drive her out of the East Chamber?
Thinking like this, Ah Hua reluctantly knocked on the courtyard door of the West Wing. She was now expecting that the stinky boy from the stone would come and open the door for her quickly, otherwise the girl would not let her go easily this time.
In the hall, after Mama Liang came back to recover her life, she waited for Lin to use the big kitchen to call the dinner sent by the maid.
Lin's dinner is very simple, a stir-fried leek sprout, a stir-fried loofah, a Dongpo meat, and a cup of hen soup.
The steward of the big kitchen has newly recruited a cook from northern Jiangsu, and her cooking skills are very good, and the dinner of Lin and Feng Lao'an in the past few days has been made by the cook herself.
The Lin family used the dishes placed on the top of the high table, and Mama Liang was waiting by her side, and the maid who went to Chengjiang to inquire about the news two days ago came back, and now she is talking to the Lin family in the house about what has happened in the Gu Mansion these days.
"Old lady, on the day the eldest brother married his new daughter-in-law, the second wife said that the girl from the Lin family in Fujian would also enter together.
The second girl of the Lin family in Fujian, although the eldest lady did not look down on it, but the eldest lady of the Lin family said that the girl of the Lin family and the eldest brother have seen each other, and it may be difficult to marry in the future, even if she can't be the head lady, she also wants the eldest brother to marry the girl of the Lin family and be an aunt and concubine. The second wife simply made the decision for the eldest brother, and asked the eldest brother to marry the second girl of the Lin family. ”
"What do you mean by big brother? Have you called someone to ask?" Lin had already put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked the little maid who had spoken before.
Because the little maid was sent by the Lin family to inquire about the news of the house, she didn't dare to deceive the Lin family, so she could only tell the truth.
"Old lady, the slave maid listened to the little maid who was waiting next to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother said that he was not willing to marry the girl of the Lin family to enter the house, saying that he had already married a girl from the Hai family as the head lady, where could he marry another woman and return to the house, wouldn't it be a bad ancestral system?"
"Brother Yucheng knows the rules left by his ancestors, but the Liang family pretends not to know? We take care of the family, Mrs. Zhengtou has been in the house for three years, if there are no heirs, we can accept a few aunts and concubines, and those aunts and concubines still have to be carefully selected by the eldest wife of the family before they can be placed next to the man to serve.
When the Liang family did this, could it be that they wanted to break the rules left by their ancestors?" Lin said, the spoon in his hand trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Mama Liang hurriedly instructed the maid who delivered the news to go down, and then ordered someone to remove the dishes that were placed next to Lin's side, and persuaded her.
"The old lady should not be angry with her body for these little things. Brother Yucheng's biological mother, after all, is the second wife. Brother Yucheng was not raised in your house, and we really shouldn't interfere too much in his marriage!
And the lady who Yucheng Ge'er married into the house is a girl from the Hai family in Sichuan, and these things are handed over to the Hai family and the second wife. ”
"How can I not be angry? Brother Yucheng is her biological son, she can do this, and treat her biological son's lifelong events as child's play. Sichuan Haijia, that can be regarded as a big family, where is there a girl who not only marries their family into the house, but also marries girls from other families into the house as an aunt?
If this thing gets out, isn't it called for gossip? Lin said, holding the Biluochun in his hand tightly.
Seeing that the Lin family was angry now, Mama Liang didn't know how to persuade her, so she simply kept silent and waited for Lin's instructions.
The Lin family thought about the tea for a while, and suddenly said: "The Hai family in Sichuan knows, is the Liang family going to let the Lin family girl enter the mansion with Brother Yucheng?"
Mama Liang thought for a moment and immediately said.
"Old lady, the Hai family already knows about this, the eldest lady of the Hai family has accompanied the Hai family girl to Chengjiang, and the eldest lady of the Hai family entered the house and quarreled with the second wife a few times, saying that even if the Gu family wants to give Gu Yucheng a concubine, there is no reason to enter the door on the same day as the bride?"
"The eldest wife of the Hai family also said in front of the eldest wife and the second wife, the concubines of other people are all done behind the scenes, but the Gu family wants to give their son a concubine, beat gongs and drums to accompany the bride into the door, the Gu family can afford to lose that face, their Hai family, will not accompany us to lose face."
That day, the Liang family was relieved by what the eldest lady of the Hai family said, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
"The eldest lady of the Hai family is a straightforward and fast-talking person, with the demeanor of an old lady of her family. The girl of the Hai family has such a mother to protect her, but she is afraid that if she enters the mansion, the Liang family will not dare to torture her easily?"
Lin said, and when he thought of Liang's appearance like a defeated rooster, he couldn't help laughing.
Mama Liang looked at Lin and laughed, not knowing what was going on. Could it be that the old lady thinks that the Gu family has been humiliated by the Hai family and lost the Gu family's style, is it funny?
Seeing that Lin was still sitting on the soft couch, smiling to herself, Mama Liang couldn't help it, but still asked.
"What are you laughing at, old lady? Now that there is such a disaster under the window of the second wife, the old lady, you still have to think of a way, don't let this matter affect the marriage between the eldest brother and the girl of the Hai family. ”
Hearing Mama Liang's question, Lin replied hurriedly.
"Just now I was laughing at the second daughter-in-law, she always relied on herself as the only daughter of King Ning, inside and outside the house, she was used to being arrogant, and no one could restrain her. Now that I met the eldest lady of the Hai family who could speak well, she had lost face. ”
"Since it was the second daughter-in-law who promised the eldest wife of the Lin family to be the concubine of Brother Yucheng, this matter will be left to her to end by herself. The second daughter-in-law must be confused, she wants both fish and bear's paws, where can there be such a thing in the world that has the best of both worlds?"
After Lin said that, he called the maid who delivered the news to come in, and Lin gave her a few words alone, and asked the mother-in-law on the second door to send her back to Chengjiang in a carriage.
After all, this matter is Brother Yucheng's marriage, and you can't miss Brother Yucheng's lifelong event because of Liang's confusion.
She instructed the maid to say some words, and asked the maid to bring those words to the second master of the Gu family, the Liang family is his daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law has done something wrong, so he will naturally end it personally. As for the Liang family, after the Hai family girl entered the mansion smoothly, she would free up her hands to clean her up.
The Lin family just instructed the mother-in-law to send the maid who delivered the message out, and in the back room here, Feng Lao'an got the news handed down by the Chengjiang Gu family.
Qi took the letter in Feng Laoanren's hand, which was written down by the spies she had placed in the long room, telling Feng Laoan people about a series of things that had happened in the Chengjiang Changfang in recent days. Including the Liang family, who wanted to marry the girl of the Lin family in Fujian on the day when the girl of the Hai family passed the door, entered the mansion.
