Chapter 497: Family Affairs
"Miss Five won't go in? The lord said that the lady took you to meet people, you are no worse than the fourth and sixth misses, and the aunt has to be looked at by the lord differently, why do you always hide? “
"What if you go? If I behave well, my mother and sisters don't like it, and I will be tired of my father being nagged by my mother, and my father loves me, so I should think more about my father, the more I am in the limelight, the more I will let my father's painstaking efforts to protect me be in vain, and let my aunt follow me to suffer from my mother's cold eyes, my aunt is already not easy, how can I add trouble? ”
She took one last look at Ding Rou, how good it would be to be like Mrs. Ding, even if she was a concubine, who would dare to underestimate her? She really can't believe that her mother-in-law will find a good family to match her, especially when her sister-in-law is only half a year old, and the rest is her own, fortunately, she has a father who loves her.
"With this kung fu, it is better to accompany my father to play chess and win the ink jade in my father's hand."
"No wonder the old man loves the fourth lady, you really think about the old man."
The master and servant left, and Ding Rou in the house didn't know that she had become the object of envy of the concubines, and Xiao Yingying chatted with the wife of the political envoy, Ding Rou could always feel a seemingly non-existent gaze stop at her, although the ladies sitting there were all concerned about Ding Rou, but there was no deep meaning in that gaze.
When Ding Rou's gaze fell on Miss Yan who had fallen into the water standing behind Mrs. Bu Political Envoy, it turned out that she was watching.
This Miss Liu Xian looks dignified and beautiful, and her words and deeds have the demeanor of a lady, but she is a little arrogant and inferior, and occasionally resentful, thinking of her falling into the water, and thinking of the beautiful and feminine concubine, Ding Rou looked away, and set up the family affairs of the political envoy. It's inconvenient for her to talk more, and she doesn't want to ask, as long as she is not dissatisfied with Yin Chengshan because of her father's influence.
Although Yin Chengshan confessed to her. The main purpose of coming to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take up his post was to clean up the bad debts of the maritime yamen, and he would not easily shake the foundation of the Jiangnan officials, and it was also good to cooperate with the political envoys. Ding Rou was a little closer to the wife of the political envoy.
During the banquet, some people also talked about Liu Xian's marriage, and the political envoy's wife showed pride in the corners of her eyes, obviously very satisfied with her daughter, saying that she wanted to pick slowly and choose the best son-in-law. I'm set to drink. ”
"I wonder if the fifth lady in your house is a Xu family?"
Ding Rou saw that the expression of the political envoy's wife froze, Liu Xian's eyes flashed with panic, and the political envoy's wife said lightly: "No, a concubine is not in a hurry." ”
"Mother."
Liu Xian gave her mother a look, and the wife of the political envoy also felt that something was wrong. Since Yin Chengshan became famous, few people mentioned the stubble of the concubine and concubine in front of their husband and wife, and tried to avoid it as much as possible, but now it comes from her mouth, remembering her husband's explanation, it is not difficult for the political envoy to make his wife a little more worried.
The laughter next to him was quiet, and it was impossible not to speak, Ding Rou never cared about her identity as a concubine, "Miss Xian has a good temperament." Miss Guanxian, know her sister, you are the hardest to raise and arrange your children. ”
"It's really nothing for the sake of the master."
The wife of the political envoy came down the ladder handed by Ding Rou and asked about Yin Ruiyang. Ding Rou smiled and said one by one, "A kid is not as intimate as a daughter." ”
She is also looking forward to giving birth to a daughter, others talk and laugh, a banquet guests and hosts are happy, after Ding Rou left, the political envoy often let out a sigh of relief, and asked the daughter next to her: "You said she was not angry?" ”
"It's hard to say, it doesn't look like it's angry."
When the political envoy came back, she told her husband about today's events, Lord Liu looked displeased, and was a little more dissatisfied with his wife, "I said earlier that you have to pay attention, Lord Yin is hot now, but who in the Yin family is stained with his light?" Lord Yin can help his brother-in-law, and he will also find a knight for his brother-in-law, but the brothers who came out are still struggling in the capital, although they are not as competitive as Lord Yin, but they can't get up anyway, and it's useless to dredge up, why don't you understand? If it wasn't for Lord Yin's instructions, Scholar Yin wouldn't have been able to give his son no weight. ”
Officialdom is very particular about human feelings, how can Yin Daxue be an official for many years, how can he make a few friends and colleagues, even if he can't guarantee his son's official fortune, but he won't hit a wall everywhere, no matter what Yin Chengshan's brothers do, they are all middle and lower in the assessment of the officials, no one is an exception, even if they work hard, they will not be promoted, or they will be rewarded by the peak.
The higher Yin Chengshan's official position, they will never have a bright future.
The political envoy's wife was worried, but she was always hard-mouthed in front of her husband, "Didn't Lord Yin's second brother do Zhitong?" Lord Yin doesn't mind, it's just that the master thinks so much, I see that Mrs. Ding won't care about this little thing, and people don't care if it's a concubine at all. ”
"A woman's opinion." The political envoy was very helpless about his wife's ignorance, and the political envoy's wife sneered: "I am a woman's opinion? I'm stupid, but you're looking for someone who isn't stupid? Take the concubine as your wife, and see if the Usha hat on your head is still there? What did you promise me? Can I have you today without me marrying? Liu Bingkun, you have no conscience, you spent the moon with her, forgot the promise not to take a concubine, I took on the false name of a lady, but I have to take care of the housework for you, she is serving you well, and she also saved your life, but what about me, there is no credit and hard work for so many years, in your eyes, she is all good, everything is my fault? ”
The political envoy's face was annoyed, and he was extremely disgusted that his wife always mentioned the past, "It's not that you begged me to accept her, I will break my promise?" She is gentle and submissive, and she is also very respectful to you, and I also love you very much, why are you still dissatisfied? Whether it's in the house or outside, what do I not do with you? Which time is not to give you the aftermath, but it is up to you? Have I done you badly, or have I done you any wrong? Your mother's kindness to help me, I haven't repaid enough over the years? What else do you want me to do? ”
"If you listen to me and respect me, you will marry the five girls to Zhuge Gongzi."
"Nonsense, are you trying to push Wan'er into the fire pit? Zhuge Shaohua is boring and has mediocre qualifications, if you are really optimistic about him, why don't you marry with your own daughter? ”
Mrs. Bu Political Envoy laughed mockingly: "Am I vicious? Am I bad for the five girls? The Zhuge family also has a title, and they don't dislike the five girls, which is not good? Sister Xian'er is your daughter-in-law, how can the Zhuge family be worthy? Even if you spoil the five girls to the sky, she is also a concubine, and you should have another Yin Chengshan in the world? Even if there is a concubine who is as talented as Yin Tanhua, your baby daughter is not Mrs. Ding. ”
"Stupid, stupid."
The political envoy was angry, but he couldn't beat his wife, so he got up and walked out, and there was a crying sound in his ears.
"I'm stupid, I'm afraid that you'll be cold, I'm afraid that you won't have anyone to serve you, so I will stay in my hometown to serve my in-laws, take care of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and let her serve you, if I'm not stupid, how can Sister Xian be better than a concubine everywhere? If I wasn't stupid, how could I keep her to this day? Hahaha, retribution, retribution, why didn't I pinch the five girls to death? I didn't see that you were a ruthless and unrighteous person..."
She regretted it, she was in pain, if it wasn't for her own assertions, if it wasn't for her unwillingness to harm people's lives, how could she fall into her husband's heart and be co-opted by a concubine? She also has to take care of her husband's reputation, pretending that her husband is very good to her in front of outsiders, she used to think that this was a woman's life, but since she met Ding Rou and listened to what Yin Chengshan did for his wife, she understood that the position of Mrs. Guang was so pathetic, her position... As if it was a charity from the husband, if it weren't for the sake of his career, the husband would have straightened out the concubine's room a long time ago.
She didn't understand, what was good about the concubine who just knew obedience, was always in tears, and didn't know a few words? Let the husband be so precious ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
