Chapter 6
What Wang Ruifang's family said was actually not what the third wife thought in her heart. It's just that after listening to the old lady's words today, I can't help but wonder if I was wrong. Now that I heard what Wang Ruifang's family said, I have a score in my heart. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh at the moment.
"I just remembered what Ah Yan said to me, and it really made sense. It's hard for her child's family to say such a truth, which is more clear than me, a mother. β
As she spoke, she remembered that her husband died early, leaving behind this pair of children, so she couldn't help but moisten her eyes and wiped her tears.
"It's all because the old man left early, and I have a soft personality, I can't be a family, and I was bullied to the head, which makes Ayan, the kid, have to think about this. β
Wang Ruifang's family saw that Mrs. Wang was so sad, and they felt sorry for her, but in the end, they persuaded her:
"Madam, don't think about it now, we have to go to Princess Ning's side in two days, and we always have to prepare for it. You see that now the three girls are all looking bigger, and they will be married in a few years. β
As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said:
"In my opinion, the old lady may not care about the affairs of the three girls, and the eldest lady doesn't care, now only we have to inquire more about ourselves, and then strive for a good family affair for the three girls. Mrs., you go to Princess Ning, take a look, if you have such a good son, you will deal with others. And our three girls naturally have to dress up better, so as to leave an impression on those Houmen ladies. β
The third wife actually never thought about this, but now when she heard Wang Ruifang mention it, she suddenly felt like an initiation, nodded again and again, and said:
"You were absolutely right. β
But he said that Ah Yan had planned to come to find the third wife, but now when he came to the corridor, he saw that there was a discussion inside, and he happened to hear these words.
If it's a girl from an individual family, it's natural to be ashamed of something.
But Ah Yan had already been married in his last life, and he didn't have anything to be ashamed of at this time, but he just thought to himself: This Wang Ruifang's family is actually a usable one, and he will have to be promoted more in the future.
She thought about it, and Wang Ruifang's family in the previous life seemed to have been kicked out of the house by the eldest wife because of something wrong.
Now that she had made such a comparison, she thought that perhaps the eldest lady had done it on purpose! first drove away the capable people around her mother, leaving them orphans and widows, with no one to help them, and it would be easier to deal with them, and it would not be at their mercy when the time came.
Ah Yan thought of this festival, and then thought of the big house coveting his mother's money, and he really felt a chill in his heart at the moment. I only feel that I am a family, as if I am in the midst of tigers and leopards, but I am weak and young, and I can't compete with it.
Ah Yanfu remembered his marriage again.
In her last life, she was married to Shen Congjia, who was considerate and gentle to herself at the beginning, but later because of various others, she gradually became estranged. After that, he never gave birth to an heir, and invited a doctor, but said that he was cold by nature and could not have children at all. Since then, Shen Congjia has taken in several concubines, and those concubines have children for Shen Congjia.
The temperament of his previous life was strong, and he did not accept his fate. Others asked her to raise those children in her name, but she didn't like the children born to her husband and other women.
So he was complacent, trapped in the backyard, and finally walked farther and farther away from Shen Congjia, haggard and withered in the backyard, and died alone.
Thinking back to Shen Congjia, in fact, this person was still good to her at the beginning.
If it's not right, it's just a common problem of some men.
At this time, Ah Yan sifted through the men he knew in the past who were close to his age one by one, and couldn't find anything more suitable.
She sighed, that's it, maybe Wang Ruifang's family is right.
Let's take a look at those young masters first, maybe you can pick a good one, if you can't pick it out, then it is better to follow Shen Congjia like in the previous life.
Of course, in this life, I am determined to cultivate my body well, not to fall into any palace cold problems, and strive to give birth to children, and I must not let Shen Congjia take a concubine anymore.
Ah Yan touched his smooth and delicate cheeks, thinking, although he was only nine years old, he always had to take precautions.
This night, Ayan and Xiqing were doing some needlework and embroidering flowers in Bisha Kitchen. In fact, Ah Yan didn't like to do these needles and threads in his last life, but he just lived a new life, always checking and filling in the gaps. She thought about what she had done in her previous life in order to make up for her relationship with Shen Congjia, and thought about embroidering a purse for him by herself. Who would have thought that the concubine also embroidered a purse for Shen Congjia, and it was many times better than her own embroidery.
At that time, Ayan was embarrassed and angry, and threw away his crooked purse hatefully.
Now Ayan thinks that in her life, she must embroider a good purse that she can handle. At the moment, I followed Xiqing, and carefully embroidered the pattern with stitches and threads. The kitchen was already warm, and there was a steamer on the side, and after a while, she felt a little sweaty, so she untied the jacket and left it half-open.
Xiqing smiled, and persuaded softly:
"If you are sweating, don't untie your jacket, and when you turn around like this, you will be afraid of the cold. β
Thinking about it, Ayan smiled:
"I'm not as thoughtful as you think. β
For Ah Yan, it is natural to say this, just because Xiqing is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child now.
But in Xiqing's eyes, it was a nine-year-old child who said adult words to herself, and she couldn't help but want to laugh, but in the end she pursed her lips and held back, but stepped forward to help Xiqing tie the jacket again.
Ah Yan looked at Xiqing, who lowered her head to sort out her jacket for herself, but felt that her movements were gentle and delicate.
I remembered the cherished sunshine of the previous life.
In the last life, two years later, Xiqing was in charge of her mother and gave her brother a room.
Later, after the mother went, the elder brother married the Hedong lion roar, and the Xiqing was not in shape, but it was like this for two years, leaving only a weak little girl. Ah Yan took pity on the little niece, so he ordered someone to pick it up, who knew that the Hedong lion roar that his brother married would not let him at all, but it made Ah Yan so angry.
At this time, looking at the gentle and graceful Xiqing, Ah Yan couldn't help but sigh a little. In fact, Xiqing and herself, how similar their fates are. Since she did it again, she didn't want to see her brother so bad.
Or simply let it go out and let the family marry a good man, which can be regarded as a good lady. Or stay by your side, but you have to cherish it, and you must not torture people to death like that again.
For a while, Xiqing re-tied Ayan's jacket, and the master and servant continued to embroider on the pattern, but they heard movement outside. It was still cold outside, and Xiqing didn't wear shoes at this time, so she didn't want to go down, so she stretched her neck and asked the little girl outside softly:
"Who?"
A few little maids guarding outside were watching cats and dogs fight there, but when they looked up, they saw the second girl coming, wearing a big cloak of a red orangutan, and only a big maid named Ci'en was followed behind her.
The little maid cried out:
"It's the second girl who is here. β
Seeing this, Ah Yan hurriedly got off the kang, pulled the cotton shoes, and walked out of the Bisha kitchen, seeing that the second girl had already come in. Although he was wearing a large scarlet cloak, his face was already a little red from the cold.
Hurriedly stepped forward, Ayan said:
"Why is it coming now, it's getting dark, and after noon, the wind starts to blow, and it's very cold. β
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the second girl's hand, pulled her over, and asked her to take off her shoes and go to the Bisha kitchen to warm up. Seeing that it was the second girl, and it was frozen like that, she ordered the little girls to bring tea, and took a cloisonnΓ© enamel begonia copper hand stove to stuff it for the second girl.
The second girl was holding a copper hand stove in her arms, holding hot tea in her hands, and finally looked warm on her face, and looked at the needle and thread in Ah Yan's hand with a smile:
"What is this embroidery?"
Ah Yan showed the rich and noble bandage in his hand that had just raised a head to the second girl:
"Xiqing gave me a picture, I just compared to embroidery, and only made two stitches, which is really not good. β
In fact, for the second girl in front of him, Ah Yan was not dissatisfied.
I remember that in the previous life, the second girl was married to an official eunuch who was born in a two-rank jinshi, and I heard about it well. She has always been a cowardly person, and when she followed the four girls in the past, she seemed timid and had no opinions, but she was actually a kind-hearted person.
When Ah Yan was haggard and lonely in the backyard of the Shen family, she also came to see her.
However, when it was so dark at this time, the second girl actually ran to find her alone, but she was a little surprised.
In my memory, there has never been such a thing in my last life, and it has always been where the fourth girl is, where the second girl is.
"Actually, you're pretty good at embroidery, but you don't practice much. The second girl took the bandage and looked at Ayan's embroiderer with a smile.
Ayan nodded in agreement.
"The second sister is right, practice makes perfect, and I have to practice more. It's just that the second sister has always embroidered well, so she has to teach me more. β
"It's not that hard. As she spoke, the second girl took it and pointed to Ah Yan needle by needle, what should be done here, what should be done there, only to hear Ah Yan nodding again and again.
The two of them talked like this for a while, the bandage was put down, the second girl's face was also ruddy, and Xiqing brought a white fungus soup on the side, and the second girl just held it in her hand, sipped it carefully, and didn't speak.
Seeing this scene, Ah Yan knew that she must have something to do, but it was hard to say.
After thinking about it, I couldn't think of what these two girls wanted to ask for themselves.
