The old lady looked at the Xue family, shook her head helplessly, and instructed An Sheng: "Go and explain to the porter, your uncle's carriage will come in a while, let him go back directly, and say that I will stay here for two more days, and this Double Ninth Festival will be over here." ”

An Sheng happily responded, turned around to explain, and the old lady sighed again: "There is no time for me to worry." Originally, I wanted to come and hide from Qingqing, but as a result, bad things happened one after another. ”

Xue watched Xia Yuanwai enter the mansion with the woman in his arms, and fell to the ground with a long howl: "Why is my life so bitter!" ”

The old lady couldn't see Xue's sprinkling style in the market, and looked at her with disdain: "Look where you have a little bit of the demeanor of a lady in charge?" Let the small ones look down on you. ”

"Could it be that my man brought back a wild woman, and I still have to knock out my teeth and swallow blood, and I can't accompany my smiling face?"

"At this point, you are not half a star worse than An Zheng's mother. This origin is the determination of vision. Look at your sister-in-law, not only did she happily accept the woman that the boss brought back to the house, but she also took the initiative to give the boss a concubine, add a room, spread branches and leaves for the Xia family, continue the incense, and set a good example for the daughters-in-law.

Now the whole house is full of people and a harmonious atmosphere. Look at your second room here, just guard Zihuan a single seedling, and there is not even a foil. ”

Xue pouted: "That's the eldest brother who has the ability, and the person who is the dignitary above the temple, can my master compare?" He stubbornly guarded that little money, and he didn't even have any oil and water, and it was difficult to even support his family. ”

"Are you crying with my mother-in-law again? Over the years, has he eaten less than you, or has he drunk less? ”

The old lady brought up the old matter again, which made the Xue family suddenly die down.

"A virtuous wife can be a husband, and a family and talents can prosper. You are a woman, you want to suppress men everywhere, can you still expect men to get ahead outside? ”

It is rare for the old lady to look at Xue's kind face and raise it like this.

Xue couldn't help but cry and wipe away tears: "I have done everything else, and I have endured it, but only this concubine ......"

"Isn't it just a concubine? How big is it? Did you send her a bite to eat? This aunt said that it sounded good, it was a master, and if it was not good, she was a girl, who was determined every morning and dusk, served tea and poured water, and waited for you.

You can lift up if you want, and you can degrade if you want. As long as you can coax your own man well, isn't this aunt in your own hands? ”

The old lady said in a few words, and Xue's stomach was on fire in an instant, and she lowered her head and cried with a whimper.

"Although you have a bad background, maybe you haven't read the "Female Commandment" and "Female Virtue", but this is the * son, three from the four virtues, and you often understand the ethical outline.

That's all I say today, do you want to drink tea happily, recognize this aunt, or break up, you choose. The second child is already iron-hearted, no matter how much you toss, the best result is to let the second child buy a house outside.

When the time comes, he will be away from home every day like before, and you will be uncomfortable, so you might as well just stay in front of him. Weigh the pros and cons yourself. ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she entered the house with a cold face. An Sheng immediately followed and secretly applauded.

She decided that she would not only keep this Aunt Rou today, but also let her be favored in front of her father, and let the Xue family try all the grievances and sufferings that her mother had suffered at the beginning. I also want her to know that she is guarding the lonely lamp, and her pillow is full of tears.

Ginger is still old and spicy!

After listening to the lecture, Xue Shi behind him got up from the ground with a grunt, wiped his tears, seemed to have figured it out, followed the old lady, and entered the living room.

The people in the house have already served fragrant tea, and Xia Yuanwai greeted Aunt Rou with cold and warmth, and loved her in every way.

As soon as the old lady entered, Aunt Rou immediately stood up and stood aside with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes bowed.

Xia Yuan called out in a sneering voice, "Mother! ”

The old lady glared at him angrily: "Huge man, I have to worry about my mother everywhere for you." ”

Xia Yuanwai smiled awkwardly: "It's the son's incompetence that makes the mother tired." ”

The old lady beckoned to the Xue family who followed up: "If you want to open, sit down!" ”

Xue glared at Aunt Rou resentfully, then suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat down beside the old lady unwillingly.

"Home and everything is prosperous, people, you don't say hello, you have brought it back thousands of miles, and there is absolutely no reason to abandon it from the beginning.

Zihuan's mother endured this breath for the sake of this family. But you also have to remember that she gave birth to three children for you, she is Zihuan's mother, and she is your main room, and this position cannot be shaken.

It's just that you're fresh for a while, and you can't do the bastard thing of spoiling your concubine and killing your wife, you have to have a catty or two in your heart. ”

Xia Yuanwai finally got the old lady's approval, and a nervous heart was put down, and he suddenly smiled: "That's natural, everything is at my mother's command." ”

Immediately, he ordered his subordinates to bring mattresses, spread them on the ground, and bring three bowls of tea.

Aunt Rou knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to the old lady, Xia Yuanwai and Xue, and saluted one by one with the tea.

Xue gritted his teeth and took the tea, resisting the urge to splash her face, it was like a silver tooth gritting: "I don't know yet, what is the situation at Aunt Rou's family?" ”

The other party's family background is a thorn in the bottom of Xue's heart, so he is also the most concerned.

Xia Yuanwai preemptively said: "She is the daughter of the master of Xiangfu County's family, and she is also from a scholarly family, and she is a serious family. It was born since he was a child and grew up in a local nunnery, so he has not been married to anyone until now, and he has wasted a lot of time. ”

Xue's heart became more and more jealous, what she was most unhappy about was her own background, she was often looked down upon by others, and she was full of hope that this Aunt Rou had a bad background and could be suppressed by herself, who expected to be disappointed.

"Raised in the boudoir and kept to himself, how can he get acquainted with his father?" Xia Zixian finally couldn't help but open her mouth to question.

Xia Yuanwai said proudly: "My father and I hit it off at first sight, and we had a very happy conversation, and it was his father who took the initiative to marry at the banquet. ”

An Sheng was stunned by such parents. After all, his father is more than forty years old, and he also has a wife at home. Even if the master wants to slap him, he shouldn't marry his daughter and be wronged as a concubine, right? What's more, the mountains and rivers are far away, a farewell has gone through many years, sometimes a farewell may be goodbye, and you can't accept your filial piety, which father is so ruthless?

The old lady nodded, obviously extremely satisfied with Aunt Rou's background, glanced at the Xue family, and meaningful: "Such an innocent lintel is also worthy of our Xia family." ”

After that, he took out a jade ruyi that he often played with in his arms and gave it to Aunt Rou as a meeting gift.

Aunt Rou thanked her, Xia Yuanwai smiled "hehe", turned her head and introduced An Sheng and a few people to her.

Zihuan was honest and nodded at her, which was regarded as an acknowledgement. Xia Ziwu naturally snorted coldly, and would not give any good face. Xia Zixian has always been arrogant and will not take her seriously.

Only An Sheng smiled at Aunt Rou, and returned a half-salute sideways, which was already a lift.

I have seen it, and this aunt has also recognized it, so naturally the Xue family will arrange a place to live and serve the subordinates.

Xia Yuanwai took out the gifts he brought back to his family, asked for warmth, and told anecdotes along the way that had been separated for a long time.

In the end, it was agreed that tomorrow, on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the husband and wife of the big house, as well as several children and nephews in the house, would go to the second room to spend Chongyang, taste the local products purchased from all over the country along the road outside Xia Yuanwai, and have a reunion festival.

Thinking about it, Xia Yuanwai immediately sent someone to the big house to report the news, and then arranged the next day's meal.

Xia Yuan did not shy away from being kind to Aunt Rou in front of people, caring, meticulous and considerate, and moved the objects that made Xue's eyes red to Aunt Rou's room the same, including the brocade cloth of the time-honored brand of the Jiangnan Leng family that made Xia Ziwu's eyes red. He was happy and refreshed, as if he were many years younger.

The old lady stayed, stabilized the overall situation in a few words, and all the things that should be beaten were also beaten, and the others didn't want to mix, so they turned around and went back to the courtyard where they stayed.

Xue was aggrieved in her heart, and always wanted her to vent it so that she could live in peace in the future.

As soon as the old lady left, Xia Yuanwai went directly into Aunt Rou's yard and no longer showed her head.

Xue Shi, who wanted to talk to him for a while, endured it again and again, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and his anger erupted. smashed all the teacups and bowls at hand, picked up the scissors and cut the tent on the bed to pieces, only then did he relieve his anger, and began to cry as soon as he sat on the ground.

Originally, this crying method was tried and tested in front of Xia Yuanwai, but now, Xia Yuanwai's soul was hooked by other women, and no matter how much she tossed, it would be useless.

One cried, two persuaded, the mother and daughter closed the door tightly and scolded Aunt Rou.

After tossing enough, it is natural to start thinking about countermeasures, and you can't really let a wild woman enter the house and take away her position in the mansion.

The first thing they thought of was naturally Xue Zhao. His idea is the backbone of the Xue family. At a critical time, it is natural to have the support of my mother's family.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Xue got up and washed his face, and ordered someone to send a letter to Xue Zhao.

The next person came back soon after he went, saying that his uncle and his cousin were not at home, and they all went out, and they didn't know when they would come back. I have left a message with my neighbors and asked them to come to the house when they come back.

Xue scolded hatefully, knowing that the two of them must have gone out to fool around again, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and they may not come back at night.

He and his two daughters sighed for a long time, and then sent the two back, and he lay on the bed tossing and turning for half the night and couldn't sleep, his heart was like a stone blocked, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.
