Chapter 55: Relatives
In the evening, Yang put his arm around Jinhiko.
The mother and daughter haven't slept together for a long time, because this white incident gave the mother and daughter another chance to be together.
"When I was young, my father and mother listened to the words of the eldest sister the most, and they spoiled their sister the most, even if they got married later, the dowry given by ...... father and mother could not be compared with the sisters"
Yang began to slowly reminisce about the past.
"Mother, my grandfather, they probably thought that you were married in the capital, and under your grandmother's nose, they are all a family, and they will definitely not suffer, and my father has a good temper, so he ......"
When Jin Yan saw Yang mention it, he hurriedly picked up the comfort.
Yang smiled, pinched Jinyan's cheek and said, "These things, my mother has been comforting herself like this."
At that time, I envied that your aunt was married to a wealthy businessman in Shandong, and I also envied that your aunt was married to an imperial merchant in southern Fujian.
When I was young, I always thought that although the husband I married was not noble, he was at least rich and did not lack silver.
In addition, he has many sons and has a son to support him, so he will definitely have a better life than himself in the future.
My mother has been in business for five years, and then I have your eldest brother.
And what about your aunt?
gave birth to three sons in five years, and as for your aunt, she gave birth to three sons and one daughter in five years.
At that time, I was thinking, how could the sisters who are also siblings of the same mother have such a long difference in life, why is it so unfair?
But later, when I followed your father out, I found that every family had a scripture that was difficult to read.
There are also advantages to having fewer children.
Of course, if everyone is like you and your brother, my mother doesn't mind having more. ”
Yang smiled and touched Jinhiko's face.
When Jin Yan heard this, he immediately admired his aunt a little, giving birth to four in five years, that is to say, each time he gave birth to one to two months and became pregnant again?
"Mother, you also know that I have mixed well with some old men in the palace, and I have mixed well with the imperial doctors.
I've heard that if you have given birth to a child, you have to raise it for at least three years, and having a child is the best.
Do you think that a healthy mother will have a healthy child?
What's more, children have to focus on quality rather than quantity.
So, mother, as long as you relax and try to think about happy things, your younger siblings will definitely be healthy. ”
Listening to Yang's tone just now, it seems that the aunt and aunt have a few children, and they are probably not very good.
Also, my father was an official in Shandong before, so he should know something about the situation of his aunt's family.
It's just that their parents don't tell them.
Whether it is modern parents or ancient parents, they will tell you how good other children's children are, and they want you to learn.
As for the bad ones, they will definitely not say it, and it is better not to recognize them.
As for the southern Fujian side......
It's kind of strange to say.
Whether they were in Huiji at that time, or went to Guangzhou Mansion, it seems that my aunt's husband's family does not interact with their own family.
Theoretically, the relationship between the brothers-in-law should still be very close.
However, in terms of annual New Year's gifts, there are ones on the aunt's side, but there has never been one on the aunt's side.
At that time, Jin Yan was by Yang's side to help Yang take care of housework, and he still knew this.
At that time, I thought that the relationship between my aunt and my mother was not good.
And now it seems that there are quite a lot of stories.
"Mother, tell me about my aunt's family, my aunt will come in a few days, and I will save her taboo when the time comes."
Jin Yan tugged at Yang's sleeve and whispered.
"Your aunt, her personality and temperament were similar to your aunt's, she read well, and her kung fu was good, and she was very heroic.
Therefore, when your brother-in-law saw your aunt, he fell in love at first sight and implored his uncle to come to the door to propose marriage.
Originally, our Yang family's disciples were not worthy of their Wen family.
It's just that your brother-in-law was the second son of the second son, and secondly, your grandfather was also an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time, so your brother-in-law and your sister-in-law were engaged. ”
Yang mentioned the past and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Thinking back then, when she saw the bride price when the Wen family was hired, she was really envious, jealous and hateful.
The Jin family that Da Yang married and the Shen family she married together are not more than half of the Wen family.
For these, Jin Yan didn't know, she felt that a big family like the imperial merchant must have a complicated relationship.
It's just that the aunt is married to the second son, maybe it's better.
Hey, no, I'm in the palace, and I haven't seen the mark of the Wen family, isn't it an imperial businessman?
Theoretically, it should be visible!!
"Mother, what kind of imperial merchant is the Wen family?"
"Mother speaks slowly, you listen slowly, this matter is a long story......"
According to Yang, when Xiao Yang married in, the pressure was not particularly great.
It's just that Xiao Yang's stomach is angry, so she became pregnant in the second month after entering the door.
At that time, the sister-in-law still ran the southern line of the capital.
As for the Wen family's most profitable Nanyang line, it was his eldest brother who was running.
I don't know if it's the luck of the sister-in-law, or the bad luck of the sister-in-law, when the sister-in-law gave birth to her second son, Brother Wen fell into the sea when he went to the South Seas.
Generally speaking, if the eldest son passes away, the family will focus on cultivating the eldest grandson.
Brother Wen has a son left, but unfortunately, his body is delicate, and most importantly, he is only one year old.
Some elders feel that since this is the case, then hand over the baton to the little brother-in-law.
The sister-in-law withdrew from the Beijing line and began to run the Nanyang business line.
When Jin Yan heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, so he said, "Mother, in this way, the little sister-in-law is not the son of the sect, but he is doing the affairs of the sect, what about the housekeeping in the house?" ”
If my aunt becomes a clan wife, it is impossible to give birth to four babies in five years!!
Everyone knows that the pressure of the sect woman is very high, and to be honest, it is not ordinary people who can bear it.
People who are clan wives generally do not have a long lifespan, and most of them have no heirs.
She is in the palace, because she has to help Miaoshu deal with some chores, this kind of thing, naturally she has seen and heard a lot.
Yang sighed and said, "The sect woman is naturally still supported by your sister-in-law's sister-in-law.
Even if they are the Wen family, they still regard your brother-in-law's nephew as an heir.
Fortunately, your aunt has been angry with her own stomach, and over the years, she has given birth to eight sons and one daughter, plus your brother-in-law's nephew has been sick for three days.
Therefore, the Wen family has already proposed to change the clan with its elders.
It's just ......"
"But what? Mother, I think it's okay for the child to retire, where is the son of the sect so good to take on, the pressure is great, the body is not good, and he is still the son of the sect.
That's not going to kill him!!
Oh, by the way, mother, next time I find my mother-in-law's family, don't look for any big family, and don't want to be a son or something.
It's best to have a clean population, and you have to inquire about the eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law, whether it is the kind of difficult one.
If it's a sister-in-law like my mother, a big sister-in-law, I don't have too much. ”
Jin Yan said with a grin.
"Have you heard about the Wen family in the palace?"
When Yang heard this, he frowned and asked.
