Chapter 32: Home (2)

Like many families at that time, the He family lived in a typical quadrangle, with the gate facing west, two rows of houses next to the door, a pavilion at the door, and then a middle hall, a middle gate, a backyard, a bedroom, a corridor house everywhere, and a number of small courtyard courtyards extended. The ancient trees in the backyard are towering, the rockery is flowing water, and the flowers and trees are sparse, even though it is not as delicate and rich as the Liu family, but it has its own comfortable and lively place.

After entering the middle hall, Erlang's daughter-in-law Bai ordered the maidservant to serve sugar cheese cherries and tea, and the family surrounded Mrs. Cen and Peony and gossiped noisily. Coming out of the cold Liu family, he suddenly felt the warmth of the family and received the selfless care and love of his relatives, and Peony was extremely happy in his heart. But looking at the black pile of heads in front of her, smelling all kinds of fragrances on the six sisters-in-law and more than a dozen nephews and nieces, and listening to the chatter and noise of adults and children, she couldn't help but feel a trace of fear, so many people, can she get along with them? That's a good saying, it's far fragrant and smelly. What's more, between this aunt and sister-in-law, there are not many who can get along well since ancient times.

No wonder she is worried, although He Zhizhong and Mrs. Cen are well-managed, uninhibited, treated equally, and are fair and strict. Under the unified command of He Zhizhong, the men go out early and return late, perform their duties, do things in a proper manner, support their families, and no one can be lazy; Under the control of Mrs. Cen, the women honestly teach each other their husbands and children, take care of housework, exchange clothes, make up and beautify, go shopping together, go on a trip, participate in the banquets organized by the rich businessmen themselves or play polo or something, leisurely. Therefore, a large family lives in a house, although everyone thinks a lot, there are bumps, and noisy, but there are no major contradictions, and they get along quite harmoniously.

But the population of the He family is too complicated, Peony's six elder brothers, Da Lang, Erlang, Shilang, and Wulang were all born to Mrs. Cen, while San Lang was born to Mrs. Cen's maid Wu family, and Liulang was born to Yang, a beautiful concubine from Yangzhou. Da Lang married his wife Xue and had two children; Erlang married his wife Bai, three sons and one daughter; San Lang married his wife Zhen, two daughters and one son; Shiro married a wife, Li, with only one daughter and no children; Gorou married his wife Zhang and had a pair of children; Liulang married his wife Sun, and he has only been married for more than a year and has no children.

Counting He Zhizhong and his wife and He Zhizhong's two concubines, there are more than 30 people, big and small, I am close to her, and he is good with him, all kinds of relationships are very complicated, not to mention the subordinates who serve in each room, no matter how careful Rao is, he can't avoid contradictions and disputes.

If the peony is the original He Peony, she may not notice or care about some subtleties, but she is no longer the original He Peony, but her thoughts and feelings are different. When you enjoy family care, you are not so reasonable, and when you are wronged and misunderstood, you are not so indifferent, you will inevitably be more careful in everything, and you will be afraid that you will bring inconvenience and unhappiness to others.

Everyone in the impression has their own temper, there are no big treacherous and evil people, and there are many smart people, for example, the relationship between Dalang, Erlang, Shiro, and Golang, who are also compatriots of the same mother, is obviously closer, among them, Dalang and Erlang are of the same age, and it is more talkative, Shiro and Goro love to go together to do things; There is some tacit understanding between San Lang and Liulang, who are also concubines, but they are not very close to each other, San Lang loves to please Da Lang and Erlang, but Liu Lang loves to run with He Zhizhong.

But this is only the relationship between men, and it is more complicated between several daughters-in-law, among the daughters-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law Xue and the second sister-in-law Bai are older, the earliest to enter the door, and the relationship is also the best, relatively stable and generous, more let people win, and other brothers and daughters-in-law get along better; The third sister-in-law, Zhen's mouth, love and talk very little, and the mild-tempered fifth sister-in-law Zhang did needlework together, and at the same time secretly wooed the sixth sister-in-law Sun to facilitate the unification of the front, but the relationship with the fourth sister-in-law Li was not good; But the young Sun and the beautiful and pretty Li like to go shopping together.

As for the children, they are generally happy, there is no question of favoritism, eating a big pot of rice, everything is the same, there is nothing to say, there is no comparison. If there is any difference, it is the difference between obedient and disobedient, smart and unintelligent, diligent and industrious.

Peony silently filtered this information, and took out ten times the spirit to deal with everyone's care and inquiries, trying not to let go of the inadvertent reactions and expressions of the people around her.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, the Xue family pulled the Bai family aside and quietly discussed Peony's residence: "When Danniang comes back, she must make plans to live with us for a long time." The yard where she used to live is now lived by Hui Niang and Yun Niang of the San Lang family and Rui Niang of the Shiro family, and if they want to move, although they won't say anything, they will definitely be unhappy, but I'm afraid there will be ideas. I think about it, only the three daughters of our two families are older and more sensible, let's let the three children squeeze in and make a place for their aunt to come out, what do you think? ”

Bai smiled slightly: "I have no opinion, my Wan Niang is still young, and it is not a big deal to let her live in my yard for two years, but Ying Niang and Rong Niang are old, but it is inconvenient to squeeze with you." How are you going to place them? Otherwise, I don't think it's so particular, just let her aunt and children squeeze it. ”

Xue secretly thought, although the courtyard was crowded with three people, it was barely able to live, and if Peony moved in, it could no longer be stuffed, and one of the three children would come out. Although Wan Niang is young and can barely squeeze with her parents, from the perspective of fairness, she can't just ask Erlang's family to move, she is a sister-in-law and two daughters, and she has to start from her own family to serve the public.

As for Bai's willingness to take the initiative to let Wan Niang move out, it was her own favor. Immediately, he said, "Where can you squeeze four people?" Her aunt has a lot of things, and when she encounters this kind of thing, she has a lot of ideas, and she is afraid that she will be uncomfortable if she asks her to squeeze with the children. Forget it, I'll go and discuss with Rong Niang and let her move out and squeeze with us. After two years, Yingniang will get married, and it will be fine. ”

It's easy to move out, but it's hard to move in, Bai heard Xue say this, but he didn't mention the previous words that let Wan Niang move out, he only smiled: "Yingniang gets married, and they should get married again, this method you said is a symptom but not a root cause, I think it's better to squeeze it first, and then discuss with my father and mother to buy a big house." Looking, I really can't live it. ”

The Xue family was a little disappointed, and the Bai family talked about him left and right, but he refused to let Wan Niang move out. After all, it is inconvenient for a sensible daughter to live with her parents. He sighed: "How easy is it to buy a house? That's all for later, and now we have to get this done first. That's it, I'll go and let Rong Niang move out, you beckon them to clean the house, and send the things back later to help settle it. I'm going to prepare dinner. ”

Bai Shi grabbed her sleeve, quickly glanced at everyone, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, let the two of them move, or let Danniang and Hui Niang live, that courtyard is what she used to live in, and it should be bigger." ”

Xue shook his head: "The two families talk a lot, the third aunt is afraid that it is the granddaughter who has no status, and the fourth aunt is afraid that she will bully her without a son." Why bother looking for more words to say. I really can't do it, so I'll invite someone to come and see tomorrow to see where the ground is suitable and how to build a few more rooms, and how to build it by the end of the year. ”

Bai pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that there are three porch houses in my mother's backyard, so let people clean up and be more at ease." "After all, He Zhizhong and Mrs. Cen are already old, and He Zhizhong has two other concubines, and they have a lot of rest, unlike their young couples who avoid so many inconvenient places.

Xue was silent, this is the case, so what? She didn't dare to open this mouth when she borrowed ten guts, and said: "Danniang, you go and squeeze with your mother, you can't live anywhere else." If she opens this mouth, I'm afraid that He Dalang will not spare her first, and her in-laws will also have opinions about her.

Seeing that Xue didn't speak, Bai Shi took the skirt and played around his fingers, and finally sighed and said, "That's it, Danniang also grew up with me, and I love her too." Let Wan Niang move out and squeeze with me, and then hurry up and repair the house. After speaking, he didn't ask what Xue meant, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother, I discussed with my sister-in-law just now, let Wan Niang move out and live with me, and my sister moved to squeeze with Ying Niang and Rong Niang, what do you think?" "Since you have made a sacrifice, you must make it clear.

Peony had long noticed that the Xue family and the Bai family were quietly discussing on the side, although they guessed that they must be discussing their own residence, but now that they were guests, their sister-in-law had not yet spoken, so it was not easy to take the initiative to say where they wanted to live. Now when I heard this matter, I was about to open my mouth to say what I had discussed with Mrs. Cen before, but Mrs. Cen held her hand down and signaled her not to speak yet, just listen. Peony was helpless, so she had to listen obediently with her eyes wide open.

But seeing that Bai's words had just fallen, Zhen's face showed an unhappy look, and said with a smile: "It's still the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law who have thought about it thoroughly." Quietly, everything was settled. "You're going to please people!

Li's face was faint, and he said directly: "Shiro is often not at home, let Rui Niang move in with me first." Tidy up her house and give it to her aunt. ”

Zhang's daughter is still young, and she already lives with her, and Sun's has not yet given birth to a child, so naturally it has nothing to do with it. They all listened with a smile and didn't say much.

Several sisters-in-law waited for Peony to express her position, Peony looked at Mrs. Cen at a loss, Mrs. Cen took a sip of tea slowly, and said: "Don't be busy, where should the children live." When I was on the road just now, Danniang told me that I didn't want to cause trouble to everyone, so my sister-in-law went to clean up the three porch houses in my backyard and let her live there. ”

As a result, everyone except the Zhang family and the Sun family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
