Chapter 40. Go your own way
After hearing this, Mrs. Dou said disapprerovantly: "Since this is the case, you can let people inquire, after all, it is a girl from our family, even if it is a concubine, it can't make people feel too cold." ”
Grandma Sun hurriedly said: "Yes, Miss, the old slave will let my family go back to my house, the old slave and Aunt Yun can meet a master like Miss, it is really a blessing from the previous life, and the wives of other families can treat the concubines and concubines like this." ”
Of course, Mrs. Sun knew what Mrs. Dou liked to hear, so she specially picked up the good ones and coaxed Mrs. Dou, who was originally a little unhappy, to be happy.
Soon the little maid outside the door came to tell her, and the porter said yes, the son of the third aunt and grandmother asked to see her.
Old Madam Dou's eyebrows raised: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, what's going on with the three girls, I don't know how to send a letter to the family when I come back, so I come straight to the door, even if I marry into the squire's house as a concubine, I shouldn't lose the lady's style of the scholarly family, go, send the young lady to see, the old body doesn't see such an unruly girl." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Dou was angry, she also had a headache, and she also complained a little in her heart that the third aunt and grandmother were not sensible, she also helped the third aunt and grandmother to speak just now, and now I don't know how Mrs. Dou wants to annoy her.
Young Mrs. Dou Li was only set after the defeat of the Dou family, so her status is a little low, and when facing her mother-in-law with a high background and a rich dowry, she is always lacking in confidence, so she will do her best to implement any orders from her mother-in-law, and finally let Mrs. Dou have a good face for this low-born daughter-in-law, after all, this daughter-in-law is obedient and sensible, much better than those uncaring bewitching sluts.
That's right, Mrs. Dou called the noble daughters-in-law married by her sisters and close friends as bewitching sluts.
Lu Manman and Xiu Yuan were quickly led to a side hall of the Dou family with An Er, and Li Shi also came quickly, and when they saw that there was a little doll in the side hall, a little girl and a dull young man, they were a little surprised, didn't they say that the son of the third aunt and grandmother came? Didn't the third aunt and grandmother come, so these two are the children of the squire's family?
Li's biggest advantage is that he is very good at looking at his face, so there is nothing strange on his face, but he smiled very softly, and asked: "This is our third aunt's son An'er, right, is it really good-looking, I don't know who the two are?" ”
Lu Manman just sent them here, and he didn't intend to speak, and the person who was entrusted was Xiuyuan, so Xiuyuan replied directly: "Xiaosheng Xiuyuan, and the Jin Mansion is a town, Xiaosheng copied Buddhist scriptures in the temple when he was young, and got the grace of Aunt Dou to introduce Xiaosheng to the private school in the town to study, and now he is a lifter, this time he came to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, and then Aunt Dou was seriously ill, so he asked Xiaosheng to bring An'er to the grandfather's house in the capital, and when Xiaosheng and An'er set off, Aunt Dou had already gone. ”
After speaking, he said a little sadly: "Please mourn in your mansion, but fortunately, Xiaosheng did not live up to the benefactor's instructions and brought An'er to the capital safely," and then glanced at Lu Manman and said: "This is Miss Lu, thanks to Miss Lu for sending us over this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find the Dou family." ”
Li Shi thought about many reasons, but what he didn't expect was that the son of the third aunt and grandmother came, and he was entrusted by the third aunt and grandmother, and looking at the son of the third aunt and grandmother in vain, it didn't seem like he couldn't live at home, why should he send a good son to his grandfather's house, could it be that the Jin family didn't want this son? So did this child come to their house to score her son's things?
The reason why Li Shi is willing to keep low and small for so long is because there is only one man in this mansion, her husband, and she also gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and her status is very stable, everything in this mansion is hers, so it is nothing for her to bow her head, there will always be a day when she can come out in the future, but if someone wants to take advantage of their family, this nature is different.
However, Li Shi is very smart, of course she will not take the initiative to say no, she also knows that Dou Tianen is a big heart, after all, there is no concubine in the mansion to fight with him, so Dou Tianen is a very simple person, but there are still old men and old ladies in the house, as far as the old lady Dou's temperament is concerned, she will definitely not be able to tolerate this child, so why should she be this villain.
Therefore, Li Shi said very virtuously: "Thank you so much for the little brother and Miss Lu, I don't know if the two of you have found a place to live, otherwise let's live in our Dou Mansion first, and when the old lady comes back, let An'er see her grandfather and grandmother, I call it preparing meals." ”
Lu Man looked at what Xiu Yuan said speechlessly, and said to others, this child's mother doesn't care about his father, only you relatives, please accept him to raise him, and then marry him as a daughter-in-law.
The Dou family is not a rich place, and now there is a serious uncle in the family, the Dou family is the property of other people, you suddenly insert a bar, who is willing, maybe when they turn around and leave, An'er will definitely be sent back by the people of the Dou family.
I didn't plan to speak for a long time, so I had to say: "No need, I have my own house in the south of the capital, and the people outside are still waiting, so I won't eat here, An'er's aunt is thinking that the Dou family is a scholarly family, so I asked Xiuyuan to bring the child over, hoping that the Dou family can educate him to study well, after all, the Jin family has no good resources, and there is no mother to take care of, it is one thing to be afraid that the child will learn badly, and it is also afraid of delaying the child's future, but after all, it is just borrowing, so I gave An'er five hundred taels first, I'll send him money when he's older. ”
A few words made An'er from a poor orphan who was entrusted to a lonely person to come to the capital to study, even if the people of the Dou family were dissatisfied, they couldn't throw An'er out, and Lu Manman also emphasized that An'er was rich, how much can a little baby eat and wear, the monthly silver of a third-grade lady is only three taels of silver, and An'er's small baby can be used for a long time.
Xiu Yuan also suddenly reacted, what he said just now might put An'er in a very embarrassing situation, so he shut up a little stupidly.
Lu Manman doesn't want to fight with these inner house ladies, after all, there is no money to make, maybe a lot of money will be posted upside down, after all, if the Dou family really can't tolerate An'er's oil bottle, then An'er's next expenses may really come out of Lu Manman, although it is not much, but it still makes Lu Manman unhappy, but she can't bear to see An'er's sensible baby living a desolate life, so she is ready to leave after speaking.
Lu Manman gently patted An'er's shoulder and said, "Do you know how to study with your grandfather here?" In the future, if there is no money, or if there is something, come to Lufu to find my sister, you know everyone in Lufu. ”
An'er's tears were about to fall, but he still steadied, although he wanted to be with them more than Lu Manman, but he always remembered what his aunt said: be obedient, study hard at her grandfather's house, and be filial to her aunt and grandmother on behalf of her aunt.
Lu Manman ignored Li's retention, and directly dragged Xiu Yuan away, Xiu Yuan asked Lu Man a little puzzled: "Miss Lu, we have all seen that this Dou family is probably unwilling to raise An'er, can we raise An'er, Xiaosheng is willing to work more, he will definitely be able to support An'er, and he will not let An'er eat idle food." ”
"Say that you are stupid and don't admit it, who are you An'er, why do you decide who he should follow, his mother asked you to bring him to Dou Mansion to naturally her reasons, otherwise with An'er's mother's kindness to you, with your dull appearance, even if An'er's mother asks you to raise An'er, you will not refuse, but she still asked you to just send An'er here, doesn't she know who will be sincere to An'er? It's just that I hope An'er has a good background, the young master of the scholarly family, and you, the child with an orphan, don't have to think about it, you know that the identity of the young master of the scholarly family is more valuable, and maybe she also wants An'er's existence to comfort her poor aunt? ”
"Take 10,000 steps back, Dou Mansion is not good for An'er, An'er is not a fool, he won't come for help, he also knows where we are, are you afraid that he will suffer? This world attaches great importance to a person's birth, otherwise you are obviously so qualified, but because you are an orphan raised by the temple and no one teaches you, you can only copy Buddhist scriptures to get three meals a day, if it weren't for that Aunt Dou to take pity on you, you might already be a monk now. ”
Xiu Yuan's face was hot when Lu Manman's words were spoken, but he really didn't blame him, no one had taught him to behave in the world since he was a child, so he couldn't quite appreciate how much identity helped a person.
If it was said that Xiuyuan was still semi-forcibly enslaved by Lu Manman at the beginning, now Xiuyuan feels that although Lu Manman is much younger than him, Lu Manman understands a lot of things, and sure enough, there must be my teacher in the threesome, so Xiuyuan no longer resists Lu Manman's brainwashing and enslavement of him.
When Li heard Lu Manman say that he had a house in Nancheng, his heart was a lot more active, when the Dou family was very beautiful in the past, he only lived in Xicheng, Nancheng was where the real powerful lived, so he was not so exclusive to An'er's existence, after all, her husband and father-in-law had been desperately tying up the people in Xicheng, wanting to get the chance to get real power again, and now their family actually had contact with the people in Nancheng, and they really looked down on the people in Xicheng.
Just need to thank the Lu girl for helping An'er, and you can get on the line with the Lu girl's family back and forth, and then those who once looked down on their family must not be polite to them.
Thinking of this, Li Shi's attitude changed completely, and he instructed his subordinates to feel that An'er had prepared the yard, and they were excited to tell their husbands about this good thing.
