Chapter 39: Grievances and Consolation
Wen Du nodded: "It's not a big deal to pick it up or not." The return of the crown prince is undoubtedly a kind of news released by His Majesty to change the situation in Shangrou City. However, Wang Zhong, you are becoming more and more bold and careful. β
Back to Wenfu, the snow beads are getting bigger and bigger.
All the etiquette in the side room of the ancestral hall was in place, everyone withdrew, and the maids and women raised their umbrellas one after another.
Yujun saw that in the midst of the fluttering snow beads, a figure slowly walked over, and it turned out to be Wen Dusk.
Xu took the lead and walked up with a smile, looked up at Wen Duyi and said with a smile: "The master is finally back." β
Wen Du nodded and smiled at her, then walked over to Mrs. Wen and said, "Say hello to the old lady." β
Mrs. Wen nodded: "Let's go to the main house of the ancestral hall to perform the sacrifice, I'm tired, I'll go back to the Yongxiu Monastery first." β
"Greetings to the old lady."
Wu pressed a group of people and said in unison.
The ritual in the main house of the ancestral hall is nothing more than everyone kneeling on the futon one by one according to the respect of the elders and the young, listening to the old ladies in the house who swept the ancestral hall to tell the great exploits of the first old ladies of the Wenfu, and then each of them gave speeches, lamenting their incompetence and inability to be inferior to the first old ladies, and then promised that they would not embarrass the Wenfu like this.
The rest is fine, that is, to listen to the old ladies tell about the exploits of the old ladies before, you have to listen to it for more than half an hour, Yujun was dizzy when she heard it, and in order not to embarrass the house, she had to straighten her back.
Aunt Han and Wen Zhu knelt behind Wen Xu together, Wen Zhu peeked at Wen Yujun and saw that she looked tired, but she still had a straight back, thin arms and legs tightened, she was slack, but when she saw Yujun like this, she couldn't help but lift her spirits, and she knelt down and sat straight on the ground.
Yujun was originally tense and sour, but when she heard the old lady talk about the part where the second old lady of Wenfu and his wife killed the enemy at the border pass, she couldn't help but yearn for it, and when she heard it, she was so proud that she forgot about it, and only imagined how heroic it would be if she went to battle with the second old lady.
Wenzhu listened to it in amazement.
When the ritual of the main house was almost done, the Xu family invited Aunt Han and Wenzhu to go to the Peach Leaf Pavilion to sit in accordance with the rules, because Yujun also lived in Bitao Courtyard, so the group stopped by.
The snow droplets are finer outside.
The maids and mothers-in-law held their umbrellas high, Aunt Han and Xu walked side by side, and Wenzhu and Yujun walked side by side behind them.
Neither of them dared to speak.
Aunt Han held the stove in her hand, Xu felt that Aunt Han was silent, much better than the Ye family, who had to interject everywhere before, and felt a lot more satisfied in his heart, so he held the warm small copper stove and praised Aunt Han: "Wenzhu, this child is better than ever, in the past, when our two provinces held a Chinese New Year's Eve party, I only saw Wenzhu from afar, at that time this child was not eye-catching, and now he is showing off on the ground." β
"What's so showy, it's just a girl who doesn't know the world. said that she was still naΓ―ve, where did the beauty come from. Aunt Han said, and smiled at Xu: "Speaking of which, if you want to talk about delicateness, Miss Yujun is indeed dressed up beautifully. β
Yujun heard Aunt Han praise herself, so she smiled shyly at Wenzhu, Wenzhu couldn't help but be happy when she saw Yujun's friendly attitude.
The group walked and walked to the Peach Leaf Pavilion.
Yu Yan has always relied on her status as the eldest daughter and refused to come to accompany her uncle's concubine, so she lay on the warm couch in the Dream Pavilion alone and drank rice wine, and ordered the small kitchen to prepare a drawer of steamed crabs first, so that the waiting girl could peel and eat.
Yuwan knew that Yuyan would not go to accompany her uncle's concubine, so she refused to go and went to Yucong's courtyard to play dice with him.
In the Peach Leaf Pavilion, only Yujun, a serious lady, was accompanied.
The maid came forward and offered pastries and tea to Xu, Aunt Han, Wenzhu, Yujun and others.
Xu sat down on the main seat and said to Aunt Han: "Let's go to the inner room and laugh, Yujun and they are all children, what we say, they don't understand what children do, let's let them play with their children." β
Aunt Han nodded and smiled, and instructed Wenzhu: "Have fun with Yujun, don't quarrel." β
Wenzhu nodded in response, and Yujun got up, reached out to hold Wenzhu's hand, and went to play with her in the small warm dock outside.
Colorful beads and colorful embroidery, Huixiang Huirui followed Yujun Wenzhu into the warm dock together.
The maid who was waiting outside had already brought in the food box and said to Yujun Wenzhu: "Miss, this is the duck letter fruit specially ordered by the lady to make in the kitchen, I don't know what Miss Wenzhu's taste is, there are sour plum fruits, sour apricots, sweet and sour marinade sliced duck, this duck letter is spicy, not spicy, and salty." Mrs. still remembers that Miss Yujun likes to eat sweet and sour, so she specially ordered Miss Yujun to eat sweet and sour blue sliced pork. β
When Yujun heard this, she smiled and said, "Thank you, madam." β
The women retreated, Wenzhu picked up a piece of spicy duck letter, took a small bite, the spicy taste suddenly poured into her mouth, she was sour when she ate it, Wenzhu smiled: "It's spicy enough and strong." As he spoke, he looked at Yujun again and said, "Do you want to eat this spicy duck letter?" β
Yujun saw that she liked it, so she hurriedly made an excuse and said: "I don't like spicy food, you can eat it all, I love sour food." As she spoke, Yujun reached out and took a thin slice of sweet and sour blue slices of meat and put it in her mouth, and smiled at Wen Zhu: "This sliced pork is really delicious." β
Wen Zhu saw Yujun's happy face, so he said, "Your wife is really good to you, remember what you like to eat." Unlike our Mrs. Ye, who doesn't care about anything, she will only be domineering. β
Wenzhu said and said: "You don't know, how good the Ye family is at bullying people, Aunt Gan in our house is bullied by her every day, and she doesn't know how to reflect when she bullies her, so she asks Aunt Gan to pinch her shoulders and beat her back all day long, and call Aunt Gan as a maid." We, the concubines, have all been bullied by her. was bullied by her, and she was not even allowed to cry, if she cried, she would pretend to be pitiful and sympathize. Last time, I just said that the portion of food she asked the big kitchen to bring us was wrong, and she said that we were holding back our temper and doing nothing, picking on her thorns and finding her faults. That sharp mouth, specializing in scolding people, pleasing Daddy, two-faced, not allowing others, and not allowing others to surpass her Wen Ying. β
Wen Zhu said, took another bite of the spicy duck letter, and tears were about to fall, "Compared with Mrs. Xu, our wife is simply not worthy of washing her feet and shoes!" You are really lucky, although you are a concubine, but you live under the hands of such a good lady. β
When Yujun heard this, she comforted: "It is said in the books that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." Those who are not worthy of virtue have created especially deep evil. I don't think you should cry, your wife is really bad, there will always be a day when you will suffer the consequences in the future, don't cry. β
Yujun said and said: "You live under your wife, you always endure for a while to be stable for a while, you cry in our house, and others hear and see it, and it reaches your house, then your life is even worse, it's better not to cry." β
When Wenzhu heard this, she lowered her head and thought about it: "But I can't stand it." β
