Chapter 2 The Zheng Family
Zheng Xiao is now twenty-five years old, no longer as stubborn as he was a child, and his temperament is much calmer, although he is not very old, he is extremely talented in business. Killing decisively, whales devouring and encroaching, often make those old shopping malls. The rivers and lakes were caught off guard and sighed to themselves.
But the mall is proud, and the love scene is frustrated. The mall is spurring horses, and Zheng Xiao, who is dustless at the moment, also has his own requests. At that time, Zheng Xiao was young and frivolous, wandering in the wind, and lingering for flowers all year round, which really responded to the sentence: A leaf in a hundred flowers does not stick to clothes. But since he fell in love with the second lady of the Liu family, Zheng Xiao actually changed his appearance and no longer left a place for fireworks.
But in the end, for some reason, Miss Liu Er married the Fang family, a large silk and timber business in Jincheng, and it is unknown to outsiders what twists and turns there are.
Besides, Ye Chanyi was standing in the lobby of the Ye family's old mansion at this time, bowing her head and accepting the "care" of a group of uncles and aunts, seven aunts, and eight aunts in the clan with her head down.
"You girl is really, no matter how rare the little son of the Zheng family is, you have to take care of the reputation of our old Ye family in Wutong Lane, your two cousins are talking about marriage, and a few cousins are not small, and they will start talking about others in two years, you are good, you are going to catch up with others, and you also played a cry, two troubles, and three hangings, and lost all the faces of our Ye family......" Ye Chanyi was about to explode, her face was flushed, and she raised her head violently and stared at the woman who spoke.
It was Ye Chanyi's second aunt who spoke, because she was the daughter-in-law of the concubine, she had always been the only one in the third room, and now she came to be a pawn again.
Several women present nodded in agreement, even claiming yes, but their faces were gloating and watching a good show.
"That is, even our Wutong Lane Ye family is also a big family in Jincheng, originally the eldest brother killed the emperor's concubine, offended the royal family, and let the family be disgraced, and now these are made again, and the outside is pointing fingers at the Ye family, and there are any unpleasant words...... Ay! I don't have the face to go out......"
Several middle-aged men present shook their heads and sighed again and again, completely hating iron and being dragged down.
Ye Chanyi was about to go back angrily, but her hand was held tightly, she turned her head angrily, and saw that Li was shaking his head at her timidly.
Thinking of the current situation of the Ye family's room, Ye Chanyi gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger, but she was still unconvinced, she turned her head to look at her cheap father.
Master Ye is full of guilt and his head is tilted to the side, his gray hair is particularly eye-catching, and Mrs. Ye is hiding her face and crying......
Ye Chan is so angry, her daughters have been bullied like this by others, and no one has come forward to say a word for herself, how can it be unreasonable, how unreasonable!
Everyone talked about Ye Chanyi's corrupting style and insulting the family, and discussed the matter of Ye Ye being demoted, everyone's emotions reached the highest point, and they were filled with righteous indignation, and they almost bluntly said that Ye Ye was a chaotic minister and thief, a black sheep, and implicated the Ye family......
Everyone looks righteous and selfless, and it seems that they have long forgotten who was groveling and servile and flattering when Imperial Doctor Ye was in power.
It's really unbearable!
"You scoundrels, don't bully my sister!"
Suddenly, a heavenly sound blocked the roar that Ye Chanyi was about to blurt out in his throat......
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" was transformed into an earth-shattering coughing sound.
"Big girl (sister) (Yiyi) What's wrong with you?" A group of family members finally paid attention to the eldest girl Ye who was tortured and half dead.
Ye Chanyi looked excitedly at the two beautiful babies who ran over to protect her, one was her brother-in-law Ye Tiandong, and the other was her sister-in-law Ye Liyi, that is, the daughter of the Li family. Seeing that the two seven or eight-year-old children were more courageous than this group of adults, Ye Chanyi was very comforted in her heart.
But the uncles and aunts sitting in the hall were not good at stubble, and immediately burned the flames of war to the two children.
Especially the third aunt of the Ye family, who is obviously the younger brother of Master Ye's in-laws, and the two families should be more intimate, but the husband and wife don't care about their brotherhood at all. In addition, the second uncle and the fourth uncle added fuel to the fire, watching coldly, wishing that the two rooms would be ruined, and they would sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Thinking about the harsh system of concubines in ancient times, there is a reasonable explanation for these behaviors.
How happy the children are, how pitiful the children are born, they were taken away from birth, leaving the side of their biological mother, because the ancients believed that concubines were not worthy of raising children, so when the concubines in the family gave birth to children, their children would be reported to the wife to be raised.
Although the child who was taken away was raised under the mother-in-law, but after all, it was not a biological child, who would really feel distressed, and it would be just a mother-in-law who was kind and tolerant, if it met a small-minded mother-in-law, it would only be raised crookedly, so that the family disliked, after all, no woman wants other people's children to exceed their own children, especially in ancient times and the era of valuing interests, a child has a chance, and the status of the mother in the family will also rise, so the child of the concubine is lower than his brothers and sisters from birth.
Ancient China's concubine is not only reflected here, if a family has a title, then the first to inherit the title is the eldest son, if the eldest son is not a grandson, but there is a male son, then the eldest son should also give way to the son-in-law, why is the son-in-law so noble?
Because in ancient times, wives married women who were in the right family, they believed that the children born to such women were naturally noble, and the children born to concubines born in small families were naturally incomparable with their sons-in-law. So the birth of the concubine is such a terrible existence for the concubine.
