Chapter 18: Virtuous Lady
Needless to say, Wang Duo also knows the ins and outs of the matter, he is heroic and informal, but he is not a careless person. This pig lung is an inferior ingredient, and only poor people will eat it, but I can't imagine that this Hu Feng would be so excessive and do such a thing to abuse her mother-in-law!
"I didn't expect Mrs. Sister-in-law's craftsmanship to be so good, even such inferior ingredients can be made so delicious!" Wang Duo sighed, he praised it sincerely, although this Chen Qiaoqiao was bullied, she was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did she complain about grievances, but it was really rare to say it in such a smart way.
"Uncle! What do you mean by inferiority? Si Zuo and Si Zuo's innocent appearance made Wang Duo's heart sour, and the heroic spirit immediately came up, "Bo Nian! You have to take care of this left and right, after all, it's your sister! Wang Duo said earnestly.
Chen Bonian's face was blue and white for a while, and he didn't know what to say, but he only promised, "That's certain!" β
Wang Duo glanced at Hu Feng and Ye Wanrong meaningfully, "You also have to be more filial to your mother-in-law, it's not easy for her to be a widow and have two children!" Hu Feng's face changed and changed, and he forcibly held back the resentment in his heart, "Follow my uncle's teachings!" β
Ye Wanrong is even more difficult to say anything, she has already seen Chen Zhongkang's disappointed eyes, she also knows that if Wang Duo helps, even if she says a few good words, this Chen Zhongkang's future will be much broader, she can't help but secretly annoy, she shouldn't have made this bad idea with Hu Feng, this pig lungs for dog food is too undignified, even if this mother-in-law doesn't say it today, he will spread it out in the future, saying that they are mean to the mother-in-law and give the mother-in-law dog food, that is also a great sin! I'm going to be poked in the back!
Chen Qiaoqiao saw that things had developed like this, and she had achieved her goal, so Chen Bonian was clearly dead-faced, and it seemed that she desperately wanted to catch this Wang Duo's line, if it was because of this, Wang Duo would have a dislike for him, then Chen Bonian would be angry with her in the future and blame her for her ugliness.
Chen Qiaoqiao stood up and saluted solemnly, "Lord Wang! Since you call me Mrs. Sister-in-law, I will rely on the old man to sell the old once, and my late husband Chen Wei is fortunate to have a friend like Lord Wang, I will not shy away from it, the hope of the Chen family in the future is on these three men, and I hope that Lord Wang will take care of it more! Especially Bo Nian, he is the eldest son, and he shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the Loyal and Brave General's Mansion, Lord Wang, please support him in the face of his late husband! After saying that, he saluted again.
Wang Duo hurriedly held on, looking at Chen Qiaoqiao with a complicated expression, he couldn't imagine that Chen Wei's widow would have such a heart! She obviously had a bad time in the Chen Mansion, but she was still planning for their brother, neither humble nor arrogant, even if she begged him, she was righteous and righteous, so that he couldn't refuse!
"Sister-in-law! What are you talking about! Brother Chen Wei's child is my child! Bonian, tomorrow you go to the Jingxi Forbidden Army to report, how about giving Uncle Wang a shot? β
Chen Bonian was suddenly ecstatic, how could he not be happy when he went directly from the commander of the forbidden army in a place to the highest command center? "As for Zhongkang, do it well, I heard that your envoy there is about to retire, as long as you do a good job, I will definitely recommend you when the time comes!"
Chen Zhongkang's eyes also lit up, he thought that he would be embarrassed today, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy! "Thank you, Uncle Wang!"
"Shu Ping, study hard, if you embark on a career in the future, your uncle will definitely help!" Xu Huifang hurriedly thanked her, and smiled reluctantly. He really envies the eldest brother and the second brother, but he doesn't know when he will be able to get out!
Wang Duo turned around and looked straight at Chen Qiaoqiao, "I want to thank you and thank your second mother, what a good woman who is knowledgeable and courteous!" Chen Qiaoqiao's heart jumped, he was talking about a good woman, but not a good mother! Looking at his sparkling eyes, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, this can't be the rhythm of looking at her, right?
Although a little surprised, Chen Qiaoqiao was a little proud, it's always a good thing for someone to like her, it seems that this Chen's appearance is really good, more than her own skin, this can be regarded as compensation for this unreliable crossing!
Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but pretend to be shy, and Wang Duo realized that she was abrupt and a little embarrassed, so she sat down to eat again. Chen Bonian is a rectum, "Erniang! You have the three of us brothers in your heart, we know that we will definitely treat Erniang well in the future! β
Chen Bonian couldn't help but reflect deeply, he really ignored Erniang and the two little sisters too much, he always thought that they were doing well, but looking at today's situation, it seems that Hu Feng is not very good to them! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at Hu Feng fiercely.
Hu Feng didn't see it, her current mood is mixed, on the one hand, the ugly things in this family are publicized, she is angry and afraid, on the other hand, this Chen Bonian has been promoted, she is really happy, but this glory is earned by her mother-in-law, and it has nothing to do with her!
Chen Zhongkang also looked at this Erniang with admiration, he never found that this woman who was ignored by him and even thought that it was a burden actually helped him a lot at a critical time, was his previous indifference too much?
Only Na Cheng Ping was just eating with his head bored, his feeling towards Chen was only amazed, he didn't expect her to have such a ability, but he didn't care too much about things at home, besides, he was worried about it!
The reason why the master got out of class early today is that the master said that he would take them on a study tour, and this time the destination was Luoyang, to visit the famous bachelor, but the distance was far away, and the cost required was not expensive, he really couldn't raise it, and if he asked his sister-in-law to ask for it, it would be a ridicule.
This meal was eaten under different thoughts, Chen Bonian and Chen Zhongkang naturally thanked Wang Duo for their kindness, even Chen Qiaoqiao was also attentive to Wang Duo, because Chen Qiaoqiao was able to achieve her wishes today, and planted the seeds of gratitude in the hearts of the Chen brothers.
When Wang Duo left, Chen Qiaoqiao insisted on sending it to the door, and said goodbye, "Lord Wang! Come and sit when you have time, your arrival is a dawn for the Chen family! In order to show goodwill, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be a little emotional, but this is the truth, if Wang Duo visits her from time to time, for the sake of face, Hu Feng will not dare to treat her too badly.
Chen Qiaoqiao's language shocked Wang Duo's heart, ancient people have always been introverted and would not express their emotions, and Chen Qiaoqiao said a word of dawn, which couldn't help but give him a sense of responsibility, and he felt a little more pity for Chen Qiaoqiao.
Wang Duo felt a lot in his heart, until he reached the corner, and when he looked back at the pretty figure, he was a little stunned. If you are a beautiful person, why is it a widow? Wang Duo couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he actually had such a thought! Could it be that Madame has been gone for too long, and he is a little hungry and thirsty, and he has thoughts about his friend's widow that he shouldn't move?
This night, Chen Qiaoqiao slept extremely sweetly, and she seemed to feel that the good days were approaching step by step. However, at the same time, Hu Feng's room was cloudy, although Chen Bonian did not get angry, but it made Hu Feng more and more uncomfortable, Chen Bonian was just full of disappointment, which made Hu Feng feel as uncomfortable as falling into an ice cellar.
"Feng'er! Since you married into the Chen family, I, Chen Bonian, have not done anything sorry for you, you have not had children for many years, and I have never taken a concubine, and I have handed over all the big and small things of the Chen family to you to take care of; I also understand that because of my uselessness, I have to ask for your dowry to make up, which is really wronged by you, but you can't vent all your dissatisfaction on Erniang, although Erniang is not my biological mother, but she is also an elder, and Si Zuo and Si You are also my own sisters, so I can't be too mean to them. Take 10,000 steps back, even if it's not for them, it's for my career, you can't act like this! My Song **** takes filial piety as the first in everything, if today's matter is not for Erniang's intercession, if Lord Wang talks about this matter, don't say that he is promoted, even my original official position is not guaranteed! Feng'er! I've always been old, and you have a bit of knowledge, can't you imagine that you are also a short-sighted person, just to save a few dollars, you have to block your husband's future? That's it, in the future, I will go to the Jingxi Forbidden Army, and there will inevitably be more Yulu, and Erniang's use will come from my Yulu, without your Hu family's money! β
Hu Feng couldn't help crying, Chen Bonian had never said such heavy words, and even brought out the fact that she had never given birth and raised, even if he was ridiculed by others outside, he would not go home to say it! You can see that he is really disappointed in himself! also said that without her Hu family's money, she has no credit for so many years of subsidy!
The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt, and I couldn't help but confess, "Yes!" I admit that I don't take enough care of Erniang and the two sisters-in-law, but do you know the difficulty of being in charge? You only have a dozen taels of silver a month, and your father-in-law's money is also a love not to give, the second child and their family eat and drink, only three taels of silver a month, not to mention the third, not to mention eating and living for nothing, but also take out more money for reading! How difficult it is for this family inside and out, if it weren't for my rich dowry, the Chen family's face would not have been able to be saved a long time ago, and this plaque of the loyal and brave general is just a faΓ§ade! β
Chen Bonian didn't know how much trouble he had for this money over the years, but now seeing that Hu Feng didn't repent, he dared to say so, and couldn't help but say coldly: "I understand!" Our Chen family can't afford to be the daughter of a rich family like you, and for so many years, thanks to your Hu family's relief! It's me Chen Bonian who is useless! β
