"I won't hide it from you, your eldest sister's illness is just dragging on for a long time." Mrs. Xia said, tears flowed involuntarily, and she hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

When the eldest lady Pei Shufan got married, the second miss Pei Shulan was only five years old, the third miss Pei Shufang was only three years old, and the fourth miss Pei Shufen had just been born. Naturally, there is not much real sisterly affection for this eldest sister. As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Kexia is also very attentive to their sisters. Xu is only daughter married early, so he raised these three concubines as his own daughters. Even if they don't wait to see their biological mothers, they have never neglected these concubines. The food, clothing, and use are not much different from when Pei Shufan was at home.

The second lady Pei Shulan and the third lady Pei Shufang have always been more submissive, and they also really respect their mother-in-law.

Mrs. Xia cried a lot, and felt better, so she called the maid in, fetched water and washed her face, and then continued to the three concubines: "If your eldest sister leaves, the two nephews left behind, one is only three years old, and the other is just one year old, and they need to be taken care of. It's not like you don't know that such a young child, even if no one thinks crookedly about them, it is not easy to grow up freely and peacefully. ”

After saying this, Mrs. Xia glanced at them, and saw that the second Pei Shulan was slightly surprised, the third Pei Shufang looked unbearable, and only the fourth Pei Shufen looked thoughtful.

Mrs. Xia secretly wondered in her heart, so she didn't continue the topic, got up and took the handkerchief in her hand, and said, "It's not too early." Let's go to Dajue Temple and see what the Bodhisattva has to say. ”

The second Pei Shulan stepped forward and helped Mrs. Xia to start. The third Pei Shufang wanted to step forward and hold Mrs. Xia's arm on the other side, but the fourth Pei Shufen took two steps and helped Mrs. Xia's arm before the third sister Pei Shufang.

Pei Shufang was a trouble-free, but when she saw this, she just smiled, took a step back, and let Mrs. Xia, Pei Shulan, and Pei Shufen go out first.

Mrs. Xia's maid-in-law, as well as the personal maids of the three young ladies, followed.

The group came to the carriage and horse courtyard in the outer courtyard of the Pei family's mansion, got into the car one after another, went out of the gate, and went to the Dajue Temple in the west of the city.

Mrs. Xia took the fourth lady Pei Shufen to sit in a Xuanqing-topped snow-tasseled eight-treasure car, which was spacious and comfortable, and there could be a place for two people to lie down. There is a concave pedal near the car door, and Mrs. Xia's first-class maid Liuli sits.

The second lady Pei Shulan and the third lady Pei Shufang took a Zhulun canopy car together. The car was a little cramped, with only the second and third ladies sitting in it.

The other maids and mothers-in-law took two blue cloth and green silk carts, and four nurses accompanied them, all the way to Dajue Temple.

The second lady Pei Shulan and the third lady Pei Shufang have always been good, the two sat in the car, lifted the curtain slightly, and looked on the street.

It's probably almost the Chinese New Year, and there are more pedestrians on the street. All of them were beaming with joy on their faces, and they looked satisfied with plenty of food and clothing.

Pei Shulan looked at it for a while, put down the curtain, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and said, "This capital is becoming more and more prosperous." However, I still prefer our Yuezhou, how good it is to live a harmonious life as a family. ”

Pei Shufang also smiled and said, "The capital is as good as the capital, and Yuezhou is as good as Yuezhou, but it's not easy to compare." - Just like our sister-in-law and our mother, they are both good people, but they are not easy to compare. ”

When their Pei family was in the capital that day, they were naturally prominent. There is a lot of traffic in front of the door, and there is an endless stream of people who come and go to congratulate and ask for help. Later, Pei Shoufu resigned and returned to his hometown and returned to Southeast Yuezhou, which is also the leading local family.

Pei Shuren, the eldest son of the Pei family, is also the governor of Yuezhou, the parent official of a place, and brought his wife and children to office, and did not live in the Pei family's old mansion.

After the Pei family moved back to the old house, Pei Shuren was also worried that there was no one to be filial to his parents, and wanted his wife Shen to move back to the old house with the children.

Pei Shuren's wife, Shen, is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu of the Longqing Dynasty, born in a family, extremely virtuous, gave birth to two sons in law to Pei Shuren, and gave Pei Shuren two of his own maids to make a room, promising them to give birth to children, regardless of men and women, they will raise their aunts.

Mrs. Xia felt sorry for her son, so she thought that the Shen family was too virtuous. Every time she talked to Master Pei, Mrs. Xia had to complain, saying that she, as a mother-in-law, neither prepared a room for her three sons, nor stuffed a maid in her son's room. Who knew that after the three sons got married, the three daughters-in-law all vied to open their maids and give their sons a room.

Master Pei had no choice but to comfort Mrs. Xia with a smile and tell her that the world is like this. She, as a mother-in-law, has no intention of stuffing people into her son's room, but there are many mothers-in-law in the world who stuff people into her son's room, and her daughters-in-law are also taking precautions. In short, it is better to stuff your own maid than to send someone from your mother-in-law.

When she was in Yuezhou, Mrs. Xia knew that her eldest son was going to be an official at a young age, not to mention the hard work outside, and she had to deal with three women when she went home, so she naturally felt very uncomfortable. Especially the two rooms carried by the Shen family, because the Shen family promised them that they would carry their aunt after giving birth, the two of them naturally tried their best to let Pei Shuren not fall short every night.

Every time Mrs. Xia saw the blue under her son's eyes, she felt distressed. But this is the son's house, and she, as a mother-in-law, can't manage too much. had to call Pei Shuren's two rooms to the old house to contact him, let them live for a month or two, and let his son rest and maintain. Only when the Shen family came to pick them up in person did they let them go back.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Shen, acts and speaks, all in strict accordance with the "Female Commandment", and everything revolves around Pei Shuren. Every time I talk to her, although Xia is her mother-in-law, she is still choked by her and can't speak, but it seems that Xia's mother-in-law is not as virtuous as her daughter-in-law.

The three sisters of the Pei family also saw these things, and they all felt that this sister-in-law who was not jealous was a strange person.

Pei Shulan heard the third sister Pei Shufang talk about her sister-in-law, and she also pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "I can't be a virtuous person like my sister-in-law." - I'd rather be like my mother. ”

Although Pei Shufang and Pei Shulan were both born to concubines, they were not much affected by their biological mothers. The Pei family is a scholarly family, and there are many people who are officials in each generation. Let's not talk about Master Pei's generation, to be the first assistant of the three dynasties, and to be able to retreat with his whole body, is the most envied model of the people in the world. Master Pei's three sons, the eldest son won the champion, and the other two sons also won the first and second class jinshi, all of whom were officials outside. In such a person's family, the rules are naturally as big as the sky.

After the birth of the concubine and the concubine, although the daily life follows that of his biological mother, in terms of upbringing, there are special masters to follow, some teach writing, needlework, calligraphy, painting, and cooking. The aunts are just like the children's nurses, it's okay to ask for warmth, if you want to instill something else, you have to get the family law. Therefore, the concubines who were raised in this way still remember that they are the young ladies of the Pei family, and their actions are learned by watching their mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia, and no one learns from their aunts, so they naturally can't get used to the behavior of the three sisters-in-law stuffing women into their brothers.

"Second sister, I heard that the son of the Zhao family gave birth to the eldest son of his personal maid and came out." Pei Shufang has known this news for a while, and she has never known whether she should make it clear to her second sister. Now that she has reached this juncture, she can't take care of it, and she always wants the second sister to know in her heart.

Pei Shulan heard that Pei Shufang actually took the initiative to talk about this, and couldn't help but shake her hand and smiled: "The third sister who can let us never talk much also spread the word, this love, the second sister understands it." ”

Pei Shufang blushed and said, "People are serious with you." - It's not that you don't know that the personal maid didn't even earn a room, but she was able to give birth to a son, which shows that the Zhao family's family style is really not very good. This son of the Zhao family is really ......"
