Chapter 40: Grievances and Consolation

Seeing that she was really miserable, Yujun lowered her head and thought about it and said, "If you can't stand it, it's too fragile." I remember, in the past, there was a plum blossom in my small building, one year, when the plum blossom was played with me and the maid, I accidentally hit it with a colored ball, and the whole tree was smashed crookedly, and the wind and snow were very great that year, and we all thought that the plum blossom could not survive. The big girl in our yard was afraid of the bad luck of the dead tree, so she proposed to uproot it, and who would have thought that the next day, the plum tree would bloom. ”

Yujun smiled: "If a tree can boil, people must be able to." Trees can survive these fatal hardships, and so can people. Nowadays, we have no shortage of food and clothing, much better than the refugees outside, I remember many years ago, there was a flood in Hongxian County, and many people died. Those refugees couldn't make it through, so they all died. But there was a famine in Sichuan County that year, and how many people survived by gnawing tree bark, isn't Sichuan County lively now? ”

Yujun said: "You can boil it, endure it, just endure it." ”

Wenzhu shook her head: "How can I bear it, she is Mrs. Yan, and she has the final say on how to marry in the future." ”

Yu Jun hurriedly shook her head and said: "This is not necessarily, our Wenfu is a big family, even if the concubine goes out, the concubine can also interfere in the housework of the concubine to a certain extent." If you are not satisfied with Ye's marriage, you can ask my father to help you, besides, although Ye's can call the shots, can you still not do it without your father's consent? Our Wenfu is the largest mansion in the world, and I often hear the discussion in the mansion that the entire Shangrou City, except for the Imperial Palace, is the first style of our Wenfu. Our big Wen Mansion, even if it is a concubine, will marry better than the concubine of an ordinary portal, why didn't you think of it. ”

Yujun smiled: "You must be patient, you must not cry in front of outsiders, if it is rumored, it will be really bad for you." ”

Wenzhu nodded.

Yujun smiled again: "What you said, no one else will hear it here, and it will never be passed on." ”

Wenzhu said: "It's good to spread it, so that the Ye family's reputation is rotten." ”

Yujun shook her head: "I heard my biological mother say before that in Ye's mouth, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." The news that you cried in front of me has spread, and I am afraid that the Ye family can call you a bad concubine. Let's bear with it. ”

Wen Zhu reluctantly agreed, and said in a trembling voice: "Yujun, you are the first person to talk to me like this. In our house, although Wen Ying is not reserved for Miss Yan and often plays with us, but in the end, there is a Ye family, no matter how close she is, she can't be close. Wen Luo is Aunt Gan's daughter, younger than me, and less knowledgeable than me, so she can only giggle and play silly. You were the first to tell me these things, these words. ”

Yujun saw that there were tears in her eyes, light makeup, light powder and silky, almost like spring peaches through the rain, but it was pitiful. Yujun hurriedly looked at Caizhu, Caizhu understood, secretly opened the curtain and looked outside, and saw that the maids and women guarding outside were a stone's throw away from here. Although the lady is trustworthy, but the mother-in-law's mouth is not simple, Aunt Xiao was passed through a lot of ugly words by the mother-in-law in the house, so for the partition wall has ears and anti-mouth tongue this aspect, Caizhu is a deep experience.

She opened the curtain and went out, approached the maids who were guarding the door, took off a pair of bracelets from her wrists, and smiled at the mothers-in-law: "A few grandmothers are born." Our young lady didn't know when the meal was going to be held today, or if the two mansions were going to eat together today, so she ordered me to ask. ”

The ladies took the bracelet and talked to Caizhu, who was spatting and talking about something extraneous, while watching everywhere to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on the conversation of the young ladies.

Yujun saw Caizhu go out, and Caixiu guarded the door on the side.

Yujun was relieved, took Wenzhu's hand and said, "You cry like this, look at the makeup." When you go out later, won't you be confused? When asked, what do you say? Wipe away your tears, I'll give you a full makeup. ”

Wen Zhu chuckled when he heard this: "If others ask, I will say that I was crying after eating spicy duck letters." ”

Yujun smiled: "Fortunately, you are telling me this, if I am a broken mouth, and spread what you said today to your lady's ears, I am afraid you will really be embarrassed." Even if your wife doesn't embarrass you, your father will say that your family is ugly and embarrassing your house! ”

Wenzhu shook his head: "You won't say it." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Wen Zhu said with a smile: "When we spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the two mansions before, didn't we eat together in the outer hall?" I remember you were spicy. Just now I asked you if you would like to eat spicy duck letters, but you said you wouldn't eat them, and you made excuses for me to eat spicy duck letters, which is obviously letting me. ”

Wenzhu smiled: "So I think you treat people very well, are very considerate, and try not to leave any traces." I think you're good and worthy of me talking to you, and you won't talk nonsense like others, so that's why I'm telling you. ”

Wen Zhu then said: "If Miss Wen Yuyan from your house sits opposite me today, I won't even tell her a word of sincerity." ”

Yujun said: "You are too straightforward." It's good to speak so bluntly, but in the end, people's hearts are unpredictable, and if you speak so bluntly, it will be easy to suffer. When I was very young, I also tasted some warmth and warmth in the house, and I saw the sinister face of some grandmothers when they spoke, and I knew that there were some things that could not be said. ”

Wenzhu nodded: "I'll just tell you." ”

Yujun shook her head: "Even I don't have to say it, if I say it, I can only comfort you a few words." These reliefs are better than nothing. Besides, you were relieved by me for a while, and when you returned to your house, facing the Ye family, if you were still bullied by her, my relief would also be pale and powerless. Rather than saying this, it is better to remember what I said, no matter how powerful the Ye family is, it can't completely control your marriage, and the concubines of our Wenfu are more beautiful than ordinary concubines even when they get married. If you find a good family in the future, you won't be angry with the Ye family. Let's bear with it. If you can't even help these angry people in the house, if you get an unconscious maid in the future, or meet a troublesome peer, will you just cry and complain? ”

Wenzhu nodded: "I remember." ”

The two of them chattered, and without contempt, the snow beads fluttering on the window outside became larger and denser.

Caixiu looked through the window and saw that there was already a layer of snow outside.

In the East Palace, the prince was lying on the couch reading a book, and several concubines were sitting around him, and the princess and the little princess were sitting outside drinking tea.

"Mother, it's snowing outside."

Xiao Jungong looked at the silver snowflakes falling outside.

The crown princess nodded: "The mother concubine knows." ”

Xiao Jungong sat upright, watching the plainly dressed princess refill half a cup of warm tea with Wen Xi Yudou in front of her, and said with a smile: "Mother, the snow in Shangrou City is colder than that in Xiangshang City. Yu'er loved it. ”
