Every time he came back for the sacrifice, it was a moment when Xu was scared.

When the Xu family was preparing for the sacrifice for the first time, relying on the identity of the wife of the head of the Wen Mansion, and hearing that the old lady's attitude towards Wen Xu was actually not very fond of it, he prepared the sacrifice plainly, which caused Wen Xu and his wife Ye Fuhua to be very dissatisfied.

Xu was angry for a long time when she heard this, and when she waited for the second time, she prepared the sacrifice in a grand manner, and Xu only said lightly that this was Xu's business.

Xu felt that he was quite aggrieved, how could a dignified wife in a long house be angry with a wife in the second room, so he didn't have a good face for Xu.

Later, she gave birth to Yu Yan, and Xu gave birth to Sister Ying.

According to the rules of the big family, when the concubines who have separated from the family bring their wives to worship their biological mother and father, the long house is to accompany them, so that the people in the underground can see that after their deaths, the children of the concubines are also in harmony with each other, so that they can feel at ease below.

Therefore, the Xu family later took their eldest daughter Yu Yan to accompany the Ye family.

Because Sister Ying, the daughter of the Ye family, is well-behaved and polite, every time she comes to the ceremony, she says hello and says hello when she sees the Xu family, and she is much more gentle and sensible than Yu Yan, the eldest daughter, so the Xu family also likes Sister Ying more, and she is not very exclusive to the ceremony.

However, Ye is really a big mouth.

Whenever there is the slightest mistake or omission in the number of Yu Yan's rituals at the ceremony, the Ye family can spread it out with oil and vinegar, exaggerating the etiquette errors of the sesame seed to the number of uncommon etiquette and the big shelf.

After these confrontations, Xu's attitude towards Ye changed several times.

As long as she mentioned the ceremony, she felt embarrassed when she thought of having the Ye family participate.

Today, when I heard that the Ye family was not here and Aunt Han came, the Xu family suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart.

She looked at Yu Yan and said, "Since you don't want to go, you don't have to go." But Ye's mouth, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. If you don't go to the sacrifice as the eldest daughter, I am afraid that the Ye family will know about you, and you will be said to be arrogant, unsightly, and arrogant. But when you go, the other party just brought an aunt, and it also lowered your identity as the eldest daughter of the head of the Wen Mansion. Mother thought, it is better to choose a concubine and me to accompany Master Wen Xu and them to participate in the ceremony. ”

Yu Yan nodded when she heard this: "Since the second uncle brought the aunt of the side room to attend his biological mother's ceremony, then let's let the concubine accompany you." This is not a loss of manners, he also has to weigh his identity, although he said that he went out of the family, but in terms of seniority, he is just a concubine in the genealogy, and his biological mother is a concubine who cannot enter the ancestral hall in the tablet, why should I be accompanied by the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter at every ceremony. ”

Xu nodded: "I have to think about who to pick among these concubines." I'll ask the old lady, you can go back first. ”

Besides, lunch was just removed from the Yongxiu Monastery, and Xu walked in with Bao Xin's hand.

Because the wind stops and the snow stops, the scenery after the snow in the courtyard is quite good, the old lady is old, the yard is withered and hanging leaves, the residual snow is lonely and white, a bleak and high scene, which is very in line with the aesthetic concept of an old lady like this, so she specially ordered Hanlian to put the table under the eaves of the porch, and there are warm stoves around the table, but it is not cold, and the old lady sits under the porch to eat.

When lunch was removed, the porch was empty, and the potted plants that were placed every five steps were also withered.

The old lady held the stove and looked at the scenery alone under the porch, and she felt quite happy with such a lonely and cool scene.

Han Lian was still afraid of freezing the old lady, so she deliberately poured a silver pot with black plum and filled the hot sheep shochu to prepare for the old lady to drink to ward off the cold.

"Old lady, don't patronize the scenery, it's easy for you to keep the old man and start a family, with such a good situation, how can you still like to see this lonely scene as before, it's better to bring your granddaughters together in the spring, surround you, and enjoy the flowers together." Han Lian said and said: "Such a lonely and desolate scene, what is the interest in looking at it." ”

Old Madam Wen smiled when she heard this: "You young people like to be lively and prosperous, and I prefer to see this lonely and bare scenery. ”

Old Madam Wen said and said: "Speaking of having fun with the children below, I remembered that Aunt Ruan Liu does not have a small kitchen in the yard, you instructed the small kitchen in our courtyard to make some delicious pastries for them, Yujun has her own small kitchen, so there is no need to send it to her." Then tell them that if you have anything to eat or drink, come and tell me. ”

Han Lian lowered her head and smiled.

Mrs. Wen was surprised: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Han Lian said: "The old lady does this, so it looks like a bowl of water is flat." ”

Mrs. Wen said, "Isn't my bowl of water even?" If I am not immodest, Wen Xu, this kid will not want to have today and today! The vicious things that his biological mother did were enough to make her expel from the Wen family tree, I didn't care about Wen Xu's face, and I could still allow her tablet to be placed in the side room of the ancestral hall in the backyard of the Wen Mansion? I would have thrown her on the grange to make a no-sacrifice person! ”

Mrs. Wen said and said: "I am not a bowl of water, but this person, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." The most taboo is who is the most favored, Yujun is a concubine but has the treatment of opening a small kitchen alone, Yudie Yujie will inevitably have complaints, I have to be gracious to Yudie Yuzhu, so that their hearts are not so unbalanced, so as not to thin them and make them jealous of Yujun. This is also for the good of Yujun. ”

Hearing this, Han Lian lowered her head and covered her mouth and chuckled: "The old lady is really not idle." At the beginning of the text, the two masters separated the family, you have a lot of operations inside and out, and even the clansmen who divided the family property to testify are personally written by you to contact, the master marries you and you are inside and out, dowry, auspicious time, guests, wine banquet, you work hard, after Aunt Xiao enters the house, you still have to send people to stare at the courtyards and are not allowed to talk about the old man's theft of Danshu iron coupons for Aunt Xiao's exemption from punishment, and you have to call the various mansions outside, and they are not allowed to discuss Aunt Xiao's identity in private, finally this matter has passed, and Miss Yujun in this house is worth worrying about again, It's really worrying about this idea and that idea. ”

Mrs. Wen smiled: "What kind of leisure can I have, don't look at me as a rich and noble person, I would like to be an idle peasant girl." If you want to worry about it, you will also worry about it for a while, the important thing for these grandchildren is to cultivate their conduct when they are young, they are upright when they are young, and when they grow up, even if Wen Du is partial to them, they will not go crooked, but if they are jealous when they are young, their minds are wrong, and when they grow up, even if Wen Dui divides the family property equally, they will be dissatisfied everywhere. I'm just my mind for a while. ”

Talking about the experience of governing the house, the third-class maids outside spread the word that Xu was coming, and Mrs. Wen sent someone to invite in, and Xu specially wore a golden hairpin with two peaches and branches that the old lady rewarded, and did not say much flattery when she came in, and Mrs. Wen did not like to listen to people talk about flattery, so Xu sat down directly and said what she meant.

Mrs. Wen was suspicious, but she still said: "Your arrangement is very decent, Wen Xu has been respectful to your husband over the years, although the two governments do not have much contact, although there is ambiguity between the two of them, but they are always brothers, friends and brothers to the outside world, and do not give the brothers of the other houses a laughing stock of hatred." It's just that Wen Xu's daughter-in-law, Ye Shi, is too ignorant of the general situation, no matter what happens, she has to come to participate in the ceremony, how can a big family like ours have a reason to let the aunt of the side room come, and Aunt Han is a dusty woman, with her virtue and background, there is no reason to let Yu Yan, the eldest daughter, entertain them for the ceremony. Mrs. Wen said and said, "Then you think, the day after tomorrow, which concubine should be arranged to accompany you to entertain them to the ceremony." ”
