That night, as soon as Fang Jinglan returned home, he went straight to the Li family's room, although he didn't like the Li family, but after all, it was his own media, plus the Yue family was powerful, and the Li family had a thick dowry, so he had to visit one or two to show the love of husband and wife.

Li was sick, but he was much more virtuous than usual, and he did not force Fang Jinglan to stay overnight because of illness, and said that he was in his own body and could not serve the master, so he felt ashamed and asked him to go to Zhang's or Zhu's room to rest.

Fang Jinglan listened extremely comfortably, felt that the Li family was not so hateful, and said a lot of thoughtful words to her. Then Li took the opportunity to say: "The concubine is not happy and can no longer preside over the livelihood of the official, so she asked the old lady to take this drudgery for the time being, and let her old man temporarily act as the representative of the family." It's just that the old lady has always been quiet and accustomed to it, and she is old, and she suddenly adds to the old lady's work, and the concubine is afraid that the old lady will be tired. ”

Fang Jinglan was a little surprised, thinking to herself, why was she so generous all of a sudden? Although he dotes on Aunt Zhang, he has not yet reached the step of making the concubine in charge. However, Li repeatedly begged, and his heart was alive again. became more and more pleasing to the eyes of the Li family, holding her hand, and carefully soothing her for a while.

Because the Li family is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Fang Jinglan is not easy to go to other aunts' rooms, so he stayed in the Li family's house that night, and went straight to Aunt Zhang's house the next day, revealing to her that Li is sick, and you will temporarily act as the family. But now that the power of the family is still in the hands of the old lady, he will go to say hello to the old lady first, and let the old lady hand over the power of the family to her.

Zhang was surprised and delighted when he heard it, and after Fang Jinglan left, he made a majestic scene of being a housewife for a while---

Fang Jinglan ran to the old lady and explained to the old lady what she meant, and the old lady said slowly: "Do you think this housewife is easy to be?" Giving orders looks majestic, but how much effort does it actually take? My wife gets up at two o'clock every day, and she can only rest at night when she is tired until three o'clock. I heard that Aunt Zhang is sick, and you still put the family's livelihood in her hands, and you don't feel sorry for her. ”

Fang Jinglan choked, he never knew that his wife got up so early every day, remembering the comfort of Zhang's sleeping until three poles in the morning, and apologized slightly to Li's. Hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Although Aunt Zhang is weak, she still has the strength of the Li family, and my mother doesn't have to worry about her." But you, mother, are getting older, and you have to worry about these locks, in case you are tired and broken, it is really a son's unfilial piety. ”

The old lady seemed to smile: "My son is very filial, and the old woman is very pleased." It's just that Aunt Zhang has a small supplement in three days, and a big supplement in five days, ginseng bird's nest never stops, and if you stop once, you will die, how do you want me to bear to hand over the power of the family to her? Aunt Zhang is weak, so forget it. Then let him tell Aunt Zhang that she wanted her to recuperate with peace of mind, and she didn't have to worry about other things at home.

Fang Jinglan was blocked half to death, so she had to go back and tell the Zhang family truthfully, saying that the old lady also felt sorry for her. Zhang's was angry and hateful, but she was unwilling to let the power of the family slip through her hands in vain, and said: "Master, in fact, over the years, the concubine's body has been carefully conditioned, and her body has been much better, can't the master see it?" Master, the concubine eats flowers all day long, but she has never made any contributions, and she didn't dare to think of being on an equal seat with her wife before, but at this time, her wife is sick, how can the concubine no longer know the pleasures of the world? Master, you can't bear to be tired of your concubine, so can you bear to let the old lady suffer? ”

I have to say that Zhang's is very good at talking, and when it comes to Fang Jinglan's heart, he feels that Zhang's is really a filial and considerate person, and he went to the old lady again, saying that Zhang's health is much better. It's still okay to take care of the family.

The old lady immediately said, "In this case, my wife is sick, why don't you see her to wait for her?" ”

Fang Jinglan was dumbfounded, and had nothing to say.

The old lady said again: "The maid-in-law in the wife's house, as well as the true knowledge of etiquette and righteousness, are all listening, such as the good said to the wife in person, Aunt Zhang was also going to visit the wife, but she was not feeling well, and she couldn't even get out of bed, for fear of giving the wife too sick, so she couldn't pass." Why, in just one day's work, your aunt can walk and jump again? ”

Fang Jinglan was dumbfounded, looking at the old lady's sneering face, and suddenly thought that Aunt Zhou had said the same thing to her mother, and her heart was really mixed, shocked and angry.

The old lady knew that he remembered Aunt Zhou again, and her expression became more and more ridiculed, "That Aunt Zhang has been suffering from illness and eating ginseng bird's nest, and she has never asked Mrs. for peace." I guess she can't get out of bed and can't walk, why does the master still have to let her wait? It's really unsympathetic. Aunt Zhang was afraid that she would pass her illness to his wife, so she didn't dare to go over to say goodbye, and in the future, don't go to her, the master is the head of the family, without the master, you want our orphans and widows, how to live? ”

How could Fang Jinglan not understand the meaning of the old lady's words, after the old lady reminded him of this, it was only then that he could understand that the Zhang family had been doing pampered and proud things through his love for her, but he sighed that he had been kept in the dark, blindly pitied her, and responded to her requests, but he forgot about the rules and regulations.

When the old lady saw that he had figured it out, she felt a little happy, and said a lot to Fang Jinglan, so she let him go back.

Ruzhen walked out of the inner room and leaned on her grandmother, "Grandmother, your trick is really powerful, I believe that if Daddy asks that Aunt Zhang according to your words, he will definitely be able to see her true face." ”

The old lady was not as happy as she was, but sighed long: "It's difficult! That Aunt Zhang's image of singing and playing and pretending to be weak has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to shake her position in your father's heart. Wait, even if your father is suspicious of her, but the woman is used to reversing black and white, pretending to be clever and obedient, your father will not beat her and scold her, at most a little cold. ”

If you are really in a hurry, "What then?" Could it be that the grandmother could only let the woman continue to show off her power in the house? ”

The old lady sneered: "Otherwise, what else? As long as the head of the family accepts concubines, no matter how strict the family is, some moths will be born. It's a pity that those selfish men, on the one hand, want to hug left and right, and on the other hand, they delusionally think about the harmony of their wives and concubines, which is really ridiculous. They only know that they scold women for being jealous, but they don't know that all the sins they have brought on themselves. So, Zhen'er, if you find your in-laws in the future, you must take care of yourself, the power of the family, the heirs, and the name are the most important things. With these, no matter how much those foxes jump up and down, you have the ability to clean them up. ”

Ruzhen bit her lip, and her tone was indifferent, "Didn't my mother also hold the power of running the family at the beginning?" The name, the heirs are not occupied, but they are still ---"

The old lady didn't speak, and after a long while, she let out a long sigh: "Your mother is a good one, and she understands it very well. But it's too dead-eyed. Her only fault was not to let Zhang enter the door, but to take her feelings too seriously. ”
