Chapter 66 The sister-in-law is to be married
Old Madam Jian stared at He Ningxin's abdomen for a long time, and everyone in the room noticed it one after another.
Of course, Jian Feiyi didn't care, she sat aside and ate tea with a smile, too lazy to help.
Even a girl with thick lines like Zheng E noticed it, and Lu Zhenxian saw it clearly.
Zheng E frowned, turned sideways and whispered a few words to Lu Zhenxian.
Lu Zhenxian also said softly: "Don't worry, let me say it." "Knowing that Zheng E is not good at words, if she offends Mrs. Jian, her life will not be easy.
Zheng E hurriedly said: "You have helped me many times, let me come this time." As he spoke, he smiled at He Ningxin and said, "Sister-in-law, can the eldest brother come back for dinner at night?" ”
Jian Feiyang has been very busy these days, sometimes he eats out at night, and when he goes home to Zhiyuan Pavilion, it is enough to eat some supper. So when Jane's family had dinner together at night, they always couldn't see Jian Feiyang's figure.
When Old Madam Jian heard this, she withdrew her gaze from He Ningxin, and said with a smile: "This man, it's all the same. When I got married, I said a lot of good things, but as soon as I got married, I changed. It is common for children to return late tonight and leave early tomorrow. As a wife, you can turn a blind eye. As long as it doesn't make trouble for you, it's good. Besides, what is the benefit of a man staying in the inner courtyard every day when a man has a man's entertainment? Zheng E was silent for a while, looked at Jian Feiyi and said with a smile: "Sister Feiyi, you can persuade your second brother to stop staying in the inner courtyard all day and messing with his maids." ”
Jian Feiyi rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Zheng, you are too lenient. ”
He Ningxin thanked Zheng E for helping her play the round, glanced at Old Madam Jian again, and reprimanded Jian Feiyi with a straight face: "Feiyi, what do you look like like this?" How can there be a girl who doesn't stand at home, and doesn't sit down? At all, everyone doesn't look like a lady, you have to do this again in the future, don't tell people that you are a girl from our Zhenguo Mansion. Don't say that you can't compare to Sister Lu and Sister Zheng, even my maid, you can't compare! ”
When he said this, not only Jian Feiyi's face was flushed with anger, but even Old Madam Jian's face sank.
Where did He Ningxin allow Old Madam Jian to speak, she hurriedly saluted Old Madam Jian again, and said with a smile: "My mother is old and sick. The daughter-in-law thought about whether to help her mother share her worries and take over the burden of raising Feiyi. Fei Yi is not young anymore and is discussing marriage. If you go out like this, it's hard to say that you are the right family to go to the door. ”
Old Madam Jian's back was straight, and she sat on the top and said coldly to He Ningxin: "Don't be old, you bother. Feiyi is my daughter, and naturally I have a cāo heart for her. Looking at Jian Feiyi, who was about to cry, he comforted: "My son, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense." You are the only concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion, you can't talk about good relatives, this is full of capital"...... He Ningxin interrupted Old Madam Jian's words again, and said with a smile: "Pay attention to what my mother says."
"Manjing, these three words can't be said casually.
In this capital, up to the palace, down to the palace, which one is not more expensive than the girl of our family? Besides, the official media who come to the door now, my mother doesn't seem to even look down on the family.
If it is delayed like this, Feiyi will be old, and maybe he will only be able to fill the house for others."
Jian Feiyi couldn't hold back any longer, she cried out loudly, walked out of Old Madam Jian's hall, and ran towards her yard.
Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E both stood up.
"Sister-in-law, let's go see Sister Feiyi." Lu Zhenxian said to He Ningxin with some concern, and glanced at Old Madam Jian again.
Old Madam Jian was worried that something would happen to Jian Feiyi, so she hurriedly called her eldest maid and ordered, "Go with Miss Lu and Miss Zheng to see the eldest girl." ”
The maid responded and went out with Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E.
"Mother, it's not that the daughter-in-law is talkative. If the mother delays any longer, Feiyi's family affairs are really hard to say. He Ningxin added with a smile.
Old Madam Jian hummed and said, "I know." I'll think about it. After enduring it for a long time, in the end, Mrs. Jian muttered as if talking to herself: "Even if you can't marry high, you can marry low." There are poor students everywhere who want to cling to the powerful, and if you pick one to marry, aren't they all better than those people? ”
Because the person who came to say goodbye to Jian Feiyi recently was either the second son of the noble family or the eldest son, Mrs. Jian was very annoyed. She has always estimated that the daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion can go to a noble mansion to be a clan wife, not to mention marrying the same as Jian Shiyun, at least not too far behind. As a result, no one could get their wish, so Mrs. Jian was angry, since she couldn't marry high, she would marry low.
He Ningxin shook her head secretly. Marriage events, how can it be child's play? Like Mrs. Jian, Jian Feiyi's future marriage will definitely not be pleased. And if Jian Feiyi doesn't marry well, it will be a lifetime affair in the future, and she really can't afford to delay.
"Mother, Feiyi has a good foundation, as long as you find a grandmother in the palace to come over and teach her more rules and etiquette, it will not be difficult to have family affairs in the future." He Ningxin persuaded again.
Old Madam Jian was stunned, glanced at He Ningxin quickly, lowered her head and groaned.
After a long time, Old Lady Jian sighed and said, "I'm old and don't have much energy.
In this case, you go and find a few mothers-in-law who teach me, and let me see. Wait until I pick one for her to teach the rules. ”
He Ningxin replied in a good voice, and asked again: "Mother, you have to remember to carefully interrogate those mothers-in-law who teach to see if they have goods in their stomachs and understand the rules and duties of the clan women." For example, the stewardship director, taking care of the property, the four o'clock sacrifices, weddings and funerals, ceremonial exchanges, and entering the palace to worship and so on. It's all about inquiry. Looking at Old Madam Jian's expression attentively, He Ningxin covered her sleeves and said with a smile: "If someone is indiscriminate, it is not fun."
Not to mention that Feiyi was damaged, even the reputation of our Zhenguo Mansion was ruined. But be very careful. ”
Old Madam Jian's face was blue and red, but she didn't have a seizure, she just lowered her head and quickly twisted the obsidian rose rosary on her hand, and said, "Well, I'll ask."
Well, you can ask them first. When you're done, I'll be done with it. You know, when people are old, remembering xìng is not as good as before, if there is really an omission, isn't it my fault? It is even worse to delay Feiyi's lifelong event. ”
These words were not He Ningxin's surprise.
"Since my mother said so, my daughter-in-law will be reluctant to make it difficult." He Ningxin responded with a smile, chatted a few more words, and went back.
At dinner in the evening, Jian Feiyang came back and sat around a table with everyone for dinner.
Only Mrs. Jian said that she was not happy and didn't want to eat, so she didn't come.
He Ningxin was busy with the cook to make bird's nest snow clam lotus seed soup, brought it over to show everyone, and then asked someone to send it over to make supper for Mrs. Jian.
When Jian Feiyang saw it, he stopped He Ningxin and said, "My mother is old, what's the use of eating all these things?" If you don't count the food, and you can't eat enough, don't starve your mother. As he spoke, he ordered the cook to make coarse grain millet porridge, and came over with a few pickles, and said, "Send these to my mother." Let's just say that when I was in my ancestral hometown, my mother's favorite food didn't eat every day, and she had to make it for me to eat. Nowadays, every day there are fine rice and white noodles, fat chickens and big ducks, but they have spoiled their appetite. He Ningxin said with a straight face to the fish and meat on the table, "Mother is old, where can I eat these greasy things?" …
In the future, if my mother has a bad appetite and doesn't come to eat together, she will make her mother's favorite pickles, you know? ”
He Ningxin held back the laughter in her heart, stood up respectfully, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Grandpa Guo is right."
The concubine remembered. Next time, my mother's appetite is not good, and the concubine will go to find the saltiest and most bitter pickles. It is said that salty and bitter can relieve oiliness and clear the lungs from heat. In the future, in our family, whoever has a bad appetite will have to eat like this. As he spoke, he glanced at Jian Feiyi's side with a vague look.
Jian Feiyi used to learn from Mrs. Jian, she didn't eat a good meal, and often excused herself from being uncomfortable, but when she came to eat with everyone, she hid in the house and asked for another meal in the big kitchen to eat herself.
Later, not only Mrs. Jian and Jian Feiyi, but even Jian Feizhen came and went from time to time, plus the big maid and the room in their yard, they didn't eat serious meals, so they had to go to the big kitchen to go to the east and west. Although Mrs. Jian has a small and medium-sized kitchen, she thinks that the stove in the small kitchen is not hot, and she also follows the needs of the large kitchen, so that the large kitchen often has to cook five or six meals a day.
Although it doesn't have much money, it breaks the rules and breeds the crooked minds of some people in the big kitchen. And when the people in the kitchen are bad, they can't use it. That's why He Ningxin told Jian Feiyang about this yesterday, and planned to brake this crooked spirit with her own hands. Who knew that Jian Feiyang told her that it was better for him to come forward with these people, so that He Ningxin should not take the initiative to make a move, so as not to cause gossip.
He Ningxin was still thinking about what method Jian Feiyang would use, but who knew that she would see it today.
Jian Feizhen was also embarrassed on the side, and said curtly: "Big brother, it's just a trivial matter, and it's not intentional." ”
Jian Feiyang said with a straight face: "Where is the trivial matter if you can't eat?"
My mother loves you like this, but you don't care much about your mother's body, if there is a stubble in the future, can you afford it? ”
Jian Feizhen blushed even more, and wanted to drop his chopsticks and leave. But remembering that the eldest brother just said that if he didn't eat, he could only deal with pickles, coarse grains, millet porridge, and muttered with a bitter face: "This kind of thing, we didn't eat it when we were in our ancestral hometown, and now that life is better, it's not as good as before...
Lu Zhenxian heard this, and hurriedly said to Jian Feizhen: "Second cousin, you ate well back then, but the eldest cousin has never eaten a good meal!" Jian Feizhen was taken aback, remembering what he had known in the past year, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly got up and saluted Jian Feiyang respectfully: "Big brother, it's me talking nonsense, just let the eldest brother punish me." ”
He Ningxin smiled and said, "Second brother, sit down." How can the brothers have an overnight feud? Just say it. ”
Jian Feizhen looked at Jian Feiyang, the eldest brother didn't nod, he didn't dare to sit down.
Jian Feiyang didn't look at Jian Feizhen's side, he just sat upright, with a bowl in his hand, and ate slowly and methodically. After a long time, he nodded his head slightly.
Jian Fei let out a long breath and hurriedly sat down to eat.
Only then did Jian Feiyang raise his head and order someone to bring the bird's nest snow clam lotus seed soup, put it in front of He Ningxin, and said casually: "Don't waste it." When you're done eating, you're going to be embarrassed and eat everything that others don't eat. ”
He Ningxin couldn't help but laugh and answered in a low voice.
Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E glanced at each other, and both pursed their lips and smiled.
Jian Feiyi listened to it for a long time, looked at her eldest brother and sister-in-law with a sad expression, sighed softly, and buried herself in eating.
Jian Feizhen wanted to laugh again, but he was not worried, and the look on his face was very strange.
For a moment, there was silence on the table. Except for the sound of eating, no one spoke or chatted.
The mother-in-law who was waiting to take the guy outside shook her head when she heard this, and said, "Don't go to the net again." "I have dispelled the idea of fishing in troubled waters and filling my pockets, and I have settled down for the time being.
After dinner, He Ningxin got up and said to Zheng E: "Sister Zheng, I don't embroider well with a huā look." I heard that Sister Zheng is good at needlework, so I'll go to my sister tonight to ask for advice, can I? ”
Zheng E was a little stunned, looked at He Ningxin's face, and hurriedly said, "My needlework is also average." But if you can talk about it with your sister-in-law, it's a pleasure. ”
He Ningxin nodded and smiled: "Sister, go back and pack up first, and I'll come back later." ”
Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E saluted He Ningxin and Jian Feiyang together, and took their maids and daughters-in-law back.
Jian Feiyi also came over to salute for the first time, lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law, in two days, I'll go talk to you, okay?" ”
He Ningxin hurriedly said: "Why bother in two days, tomorrow will be made." ”
Jian Feiyi raised her head and smiled at her, her mood looking much better.
Jian Feizhen also came over to salute and said apologetically: "Big brother and sister-in-law, Feizhen is not sensible and offended big brother and sister-in-law." As he spoke, he fell to the ground.
Jian Feiyang and He Ningxin both stood there uprightly and accepted this salute.
"Second brother, it's good that you know it's wrong. …
The maids and sisters in your yard should also take care of it. It's not that my sister-in-law said you, since you have someone you like close by, but you spoil a few concubines to the sky, what are you going to do in the future? People won't wait for you for the rest of their lives. To be honest, He Ningxin had a better impression of the two girls with foreign surnames who lived in the Zhenguo Mansion, so she no longer beat around the bush with Jian Feizhen.
Jian Feizhen didn't guard against He Ningxin knowing what was on his mind, and was a little at a loss, muttering, "... Anyway, living together, she had nowhere to go. The days to come will be long. "I actually thought that people came to take refuge and had no one to rely on, so I let him pick and choose.
He Ningxin was angry, and said with a straight face: "You can't say that." People are also girls from good families, if you can't do it, my sister-in-law won't let others spend here in vain. There are so many people out there who are asking for marriage, if you can't make up your mind, your sister-in-law will make the decision and hire them out. ”
Jian Fei was in a hurry, and couldn't help complaining: "Sister-in-law, how can you turn your elbow out!" ”
Seeing that he was still confused, He Ningxin couldn't help but sneer: "I'm helping to take care of my relatives!" ”
