16 The power of the family is a sweet and sweet food

Rushan returned to Yiqingxuan and lost his temper with Zhang, "Those hateful minions, when they saw me, they didn't even come to greet me, and let me stand for so long, I didn't even take a sip of tea." and the three children of the Da Li family, who ignored me. It's infuriating. As long as she put on a slight face, the people trembled and panicked, and even the other servants in the house couldn't help but be respectful when they saw themselves, and they didn't think that the servants in the wife's house didn't put her in their eyes, and Rushan's self-esteem was greatly hit. She couldn't have a seizure on the spot, and when she came back, she only lost her temper with her own mother.

Aunt Zhang's hair is combed in a cloud bun, two red gold and gem-inlaid hairpins are inserted, two white magnolia beads are pressed on the sideburns, and she is dressed in stone blue embroidered begonia flower brocade armor, ginger yellow embroidered gold ** flower skirt on the lower body, and a green bracelet on each wrist.

Rushan also found out, held his mother's bracelet, and said happily: "Where did you get this bracelet from my mother?" Why haven't I seen it before? ”

Zhang chuckled, his face seemed to be triumphant, "Your father gave it to me a few days ago." Don't underestimate this jade, this is the most top-notch jadeite. Seeing that his daughter seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Zhang carefully explained to her, "The color of this jade is emerald green, the jade texture is delicate and warm, green and green, without any miscellaneous, the color is pure, it is a strange thing in jade, and it has always been loved by princes, nobles and literati." This kind of jade is rare in the world, and the price is extremely expensive. She compared a number to Rushan, Rushan was startled, and asked: "Daddy is a five-grade official, how many are the monthly talents?" Can you afford such a valuable jade? ”

Zhang said: "Silly boy, you still read so many books, why don't you know the four words of promotion and wealth? As long as you become an official, the wealth will come. Your father can't afford this jade, but someone will give it to you. It was given to your father by the boss of the Cui family, the richest man in Jinan City. Your father gave it to me. ”

Rushan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything there for that wife?" ”

Zhang covered his lips and smiled, "Your father handed me these two pairs of bracelets." I'm afraid my wife hasn't even seen a shadow there. ”

Rushan also laughed, touched the bracelet on his mother's hand, and said, "Dad is so good to my mother." This slightly soothed her troubles about Cui Sheng because she was not a descendant.

The corners of Zhang's lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were proud, "Then it goes without saying, women, what they are most afraid of is marrying the wrong man." Fortunately, your mother was lucky, and she was attracted by your father when she accompanied the Da Li family into the Fang Mansion, especially your father, although his official position is not high, but his family property is rich, and he has no parents, only a stepmother who is useless. There are brothers and sisters, but they all split up early, and the big Li family is the master of the house when he marries, and he is very stylish. Your father was born with a jade tree in the wind and a graceful demeanor, and I was moved. ”

Rushan bit her lip gently, "I heard that my mother was just the dowry girl of the Da Li family before--- since my mother became my father's concubine, wouldn't the Da Li family be crazy?" ”

Zhang gritted her teeth, she seemed embarrassed about her life experience, she bit her lip and sneered: "I think at the beginning, I was also an official lady, when did I not treat me, when I was ten years old, my father was imprisoned, in order to save your grandfather, the family was all cleaned, and this is the only way to save a life." However, my family was completely ruined. Those relatives who used to be diligent in walking, the sisters and sisters of the boudoir ran faster than the free child one by one, and only the big Li sisters took me in. ”

Zhang said such a long word, his mouth was a little thirsty, so he grabbed the white jade porcelain of the official cellar and drank a big sip, Rushan listened carefully, and interjected at this time, "Then they are also kind to their mother." ”

Zhang sneered: "Of course, you are very gracious, you dragged me into the house to clearly say that it was a sister, but in fact it was a lowly girl, when the big Li family got married, the little Li family, that is, the one who is now in Wulan Pavilion, actually came up with the idea to make me the big Li family's dowry girl, which really made me angry." ”

Rushan listened even more confused, "If you don't marry into the Fang Mansion, then my mother won't be able to see my father." ”

Zhang smiled and stroked his daughter's beautiful face, "My son doesn't know, the little Li family and the big Li family are sisters on the surface, but they are extremely unharmonious inside, I was born beautiful and talented, if I do a marriage, it is very likely to become a person in my uncle's room, this is something that everyone knows." Even if I don't become a member of my uncle's room, with my appearance and talent, my uncle will take the initiative to come to me. Thinking that although I am in the middle of the road, I am also a lady of the official family in the end, and I have actually become a pawn in the dirty struggle between their sisters, even if I don't marry a family fortune, I will never be willing to be low. That big Li treats me well on the surface, but on the inside, he is extremely protective of me. Whenever your dad came into her room, she would tear me apart. Hmph, she has a good calculation, but it's a pity that she can prevent the first day of junior high school, but she can't prevent the fifteenth. When Da Li was born to know righteousness, your father fell in love with me at first sight, and then fell in love with me sincerely. ”

Of course, Zhang's would not say that she deliberately seduced Fang Jinglan, and she was raised as an aunt through her belly.

Rushan was dumbfounded when she heard this, looked at her mother and asked blankly, "Isn't the big Li family annoyed with you?" ”

Zhang chuckled, his eyes seemed to be disdainful: "Because I had it in my belly, I knelt in front of her in front of a room of people, crying and begging her to give me a way to live, to give the child in my belly a way to live, in front of so many people, she couldn't think of being virtuous, so she agreed to let me enter the door on the spot, and raised me as an aunt." ”

Rushan can hear it, and he is hearing the highlights, but he is broken, and he can't help but scratch his ears and cheeks, "That's it?" ”

Zhang glanced at her with disgust: "Otherwise, what else?" Even if the big Li family annoyed me in his heart, in front of the old lady and the guests, it was not good to be too aggressive. It's just that later, in private, she asked me personally, don't regret it. Ah, it's ridiculous, and I will regret what I did. I wear gold and silver now, except for my name, how much worse is it than Mrs. Zhengfu? I don't regret it. She couldn't help but say: "I didn't have the ability to be small, but you are different, your father has always cherished his reputation, and he has always spoiled you, and he will never let you learn from me to be small." I'm afraid that I will find a good gateway with you to be a grandmother in the main room in the future. So my son, from now on, you have to learn how to grasp a man's heart. We women rely on men, as long as we capture the hearts of men, we will not worry about everything. If you can't catch it, let you have gold and silver mines, and you will cry in the future. ”

Rushan thought so, if it was before, she didn't think it either, but when she went to Li's house, she found that the furnishings there were not as good as Yiqingxuan, so she felt that what her mother said also had a certain truth.

But when I thought of the cold reception I received in Ulan Pavilion, I was angry again. Zhang comforted her carefully, "You kid, you are better than your mother in everything, why is this heart and eyes sharper than me?" Because you are a concubine and favored by your father, they are jealous of you, and of course they want to give you a look. My son is a girl with great ambitions, so why bother with them? After a pause, he said, "As for the three children of the Big Li family, hmph, now they are the head of the Little Li family, their sisters have always been at odds, and they are not affectionate to these three children, if it weren't for the old woman, how could Fang Mansion have their place." Although the girl has to rely on the support of her mother's family to get married, my son is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely marry a good husband in the future, maybe they will have to rely on you to support them. You don't have to get too caught up with them, just go and see. Hmph, back then, in front of the big Li family, your mother and I have always been low and small, and now it is time for feng shui to take turns. Thinking of the fact that although Da Li was good to himself back then, he always seemed to be smiling and slightly pitiful in his eyes, and Aunt Zhang was always angry every time she thought about it. In particular, the three children born to the Da Li family are all excellent, and they are even more jealous in their hearts, but they think that their own children are not bad, especially Rushan, which is a famous talented woman in Jinan City. Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang was a little relieved, and taught Rushan earnestly.

Rushan thought about it, and felt that what her mother said made sense, and she was a little relieved, but when she thought of the servants in that room, she was not happy again.

Zhang smiled, "Those hateful minions really don't take you as the second lady of the Fang family in their eyes, don't worry, the days are still long, you are practicing the piano and learning poetry and singing now, your father likes it, so he found an excuse to ask him for slaves, and asked all the minions over there, and then cleaned them up one by one, to see if they dare to despise you." ”

Rushan nodded, and secretly made up her mind that she must study hard.

When it was time for dinner, Rushan remembered an important matter again, and hurriedly left the Liaowei wolf Hao in Kanto to go to Zhang's house, and said to Zhang's house: "Mother, I will visit that one today, it seems that I heard that the old lady is sick and can't take care of the house, and said that she is ready to hand over the power of the official to her mother." ”

Zhang was taken aback, "Where did you hear this?" ”

"That's what he said, it's a pity, my mother pretends to be sick every day, I'm afraid the old lady won't give you this beauty." Rushan complained a little about his mother, obviously fine, but he didn't get sick from time to time, but this is good, and the power of the good director is left behind.

The Zhang family was stunned, thinking that although the Li family was not treated by Fang Jinglan in normal times, he held the power of the Li family in his hands, which was majestic, and he had iron-like authority over the slaves in the house, and the silver in and out of his hands every day was not less than a thousand taels and a hundred taels. Aunt Zhang was scared of poverty, thinking of the dilemma that she and her father couldn't even afford to eat a bowl of somen noodles for two pennies in the past, she secretly gritted her teeth in her heart, no matter what, she had to take advantage of that person's illness to take the power of the family.
