Chapter 101: Digging the Heart
The second old lady Dong sneered, and at this time she lied to her, "I asked you to give the eldest a few concubines, and in the future, the concubines will give birth to heirs and inherit you, but you just refuse to listen, and now the eldest has no children under nine out of thirty, who do you blame." ”
Knowing that the old lady would talk about this, Dong knelt down a few steps, "Mother, the daughter-in-law has already thought about it, it's a big deal to have a child from the second uncle's family in the future, so it's not the same...... Both rooms are inherited by the son of the second uncle...... Mother, what do you say your daughter-in-law has begged for over the years? Everyone else said that the aunt is a mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law is blessed, the aunt is good to the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law understands in her heart that she is still fighting for herself at this age, but she is just a child. The daughter-in-law failed to give birth to an heir to the Chen family in her life, and only had one daughter...... It's just that Lin Wansheng is not outstanding, even Lin Yi, who just came to Beijing, has the Lin family to take a fancy to her, and Lin Fang is even more liked by the ladies in Beijing, and she will not worry about marriage in the future, but Lin Wan is not cared for, and her daughter-in-law's maiden family is far away in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and she can't rely on any of them, and she can't even find a family affair for her daughter. Auntie, your daughter-in-law is the only one by her side? ”
The second old lady Dong has to bring Linfang wherever she goes, and the second old lady's preference for her youngest son is well known in Beijing, although she is the niece of the second old lady, she has not received any benefits over the years.
The eldest lady Dong deliberately did not mention these, "The daughter-in-law gave birth to two sons but died, the aunt gave the daughter-in-law a visit to the famous doctor and came back, I don't know how much soup I drank but it didn't work, the aunt helped the daughter-in-law invite the Taoist mother-in-law, the Taoist woman concluded that the daughter-in-law had no children in her life, and the daughter-in-law gave birth to two concubines for the lord according to what the aunt said, and the concubine gave birth to a daughter. Although the old man is not as clever as the second uncle, he listens to his aunt very much. Has the old man been disobedient to his aunt all these years? It's the second uncle, how many times has my aunt said that the second uncle and the Dong family have more contacts, but the second uncle is very close to the Yue family, think about it, this family business is not only with the help of the Dong family. Could it be that you will have the surname Tian in the future? ”
When the second old lady Dong heard this, her heart couldn't help but sink.
"Auntie," the eldest lady Dong cried on her footsteps. "When I first entered Beijing, no young lady wanted to make friends with me, all because I spoke a native dialect. My aunt comforted me at the time. One day we will let them see, although we are from Sichuan and Shaanxi, but we are no worse than the female dependents in Beijing, those people are just relying on being born in the capital to be self-righteous, and one day they will let them see how powerful we are. Since then, I have treated my aunt as my own mother, and I have wanted to be my aunt's daughter-in-law. I didn't want to fight with my second uncle, I was just unwilling, and I finally came to Beijing. has suffered a lot, why can't he get ahead, let everyone see. Our Dong woman can overpower everyone to be the lady of the command, so that those who look down on me will bow to me. Let someone else bring it up. Our Dong family did not come to the capital in vain. ”
The second old lady, Dong's eyes, jumped heavily. The eldest daughter-in-law's words all spoke to her heart. When she first arrived in the capital, her hometown dialect was the laughing stock of others, and she secretly invited her mother-in-law to come in order to learn the orthodox official language. For so many years, she was originally the wife of the main room married by the master, but she had to be suppressed by a dead Zhao family and couldn't turn over, and she went through hardships to manage this family, no matter how many grievances she suffered, as long as she thought that one day she would have to trample those who said cool things under her feet, her heart would be much broader.
The eldest lady Dong hid her face and cried, and quietly observed the second old lady through the gap of the handkerchief.
The second old lady was obviously moved.
"Now the second uncle and the third uncle are both official positions from the fifth grade, even if the master mixes with them, he can't mix with them, and the old lady has to hurt the master more."
The eldest lady Dong cried intermittently for a long time, and the second old lady Dong frowned and asked her to get up, "I just let you be like this because I was too indulgent to you." None of them listened to me, so they just went out to live alone every day. ”
The eldest lady Dong knew that the second old lady was angry, and hurriedly said: "Without my aunt, our family will really not be able to live." ”
The second old lady Dong's face was still gloomy, "How is the third girl's injury?" ”
The eldest lady Dong deliberately said seriously, "I have seen injuries in a few places, I am afraid that I will leave scars, but the poor third sister has not yet left the cabinet, and I don't know if it will be hindered." ”
The second old lady's eyes sank, "Go and call the third girl over and I'll take a look." ”
The eldest lady Dong was busy telling the girl next to her to call Linwan.
Lin Wan did not apply a haggard face, because of the ankle sprain walking is still a little uncomfortable, the second old lady Dong couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw it, asked about Lin Wan's situation that day, Lin Wan covered up for Lin Fang for a while, and the second old lady Dong also hated Lin Fang in her mouth, "Too ignorant." ”
The second old lady Dong finally passed this level, and the eldest lady returned to the room and took Lin Wan's hand and praised her, "It's really my lucky star, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
"Mother, don't fight," Lin Wan lowered her eyes, "When the second uncle comes back from his meritorious service, the Chen family will be the second uncle's even if the title is restored." ”
The eldest lady Dong laughed, "You don't know this, not all the credit this time is your second uncle's, and your grandfather's family is indispensable to reward." ”
Lin Wan looked at Dong in astonishment.
The eldest lady, Dong Shi, picked up the medicinal oil beside her and smeared it on Lin Wan with her own hands, "Silly girl, you just wait and see!" Your third uncle is a pawn and will inevitably die, and your second uncle is just the shrimp soldier and crab general, and the chaos still depends on who leads the troops to quell the chaos. ”
……
All kinds of news began to spread throughout the capital, and the eldest lady Dong talked with the old lady in the long room all day long, selected fabrics for Lin Yi and Brother Heng to make new clothes, and took the initiative to help the third wife, Xiao Shi.
The old lady of the long house also let the eldest lady Dong do it, and gradually the entire Chen Mansion felt that the third master would definitely not be able to come back. The old lady of the long house took Lin Yi to a few familiar houses as a guest, and after coming back, the eldest lady Dong brought a Taoist priest she knew to the old lady of the long house, and the old lady of the long house spent a lot of silver to ask the Taoist priest to do a good ritual, and went to the temple to donate silver taels.
The eldest lady Dong finally felt that the old lady of the long house was poor in donkey skills, so she stopped tossing and turning. However, the third wife, Xiao Shi, began to think about eating and drinking during this period of time, and she also lost weight. The eldest wife, Dong, was in a hurry to ask Lang Zhong to come and see, but Xiao refused to see the symptoms, but she was bedridden all day and no outsiders were seen.
This situation made Chen's family room seem to be shrouded in gloomy clouds.
Even Linglong and Tanghong will hear the little maid talking in private, if the third master can't come back, I'm afraid the third wife Xiao won't last long.
Lin Yi listened to Linglong's words, and thought about the Taoist priest who bluntly said in front of the old lady in the long room that there would be a bloody disaster in the family...... If you want the Chen family to be safe, you must do a ritual, and the old lady of the long house spent money to do the ritual and said, "The old lady and the young master and the young lady of the family are safe." ”
This is really laughable, the old lady of the long room made it clear in advance that she wanted to save her father, but what does it have to do with the female relatives in the family.
Asked how the Taoist priest's father was, the Taoist priest was serious, "The poor Taoist mana is so far, if it weren't for the old lady's begging, this matter would not be managed, and now I can only save the old lady, the young master, and the young lady, as for the third master...... That depends on providence. ”
The Taoist priest is very famous in Gyeonggi, and the word of mouth of the women in the house is very effective. Even the well-informed Taoist priest decided that his father was not saved, which shows the thoughts of others.
The old lady of the long room took Lin Yi's hand and said, "This time, I will let you see the faces of these gods clearly." ”
She can see the face of the god stick clearly, and she can see the uncle Chen Yunning's family even better. All kinds of reappearances in the previous life, I don't know if the state of mind of the uncle's family is also the same as before.
Early the next morning, the eldest lady Dong failed to come to the long room, but the second wife Qi came to the door with gifts.
The gift was placed on the table, and Second Mrs. Qi had a shame on her face.
The old lady of the long room asked the second Mrs. Qi to sit down, and the second lady of the long room and the old lady of the long room talked about family affairs for a while, but when they didn't see Lin Yi coming, they understood a little in their hearts, and said embarrassedly, "Why don't you see Miss Six." ”
The old lady in the long room treats the second wife Qi obviously not as enthusiastic as before, "Change the clothes of the four seasons at home, and the six girls go to help choose fabrics." ”
Second Mrs. Qi helped the gauze flower on her head, her expression was unnatural, "Last time I asked Miss Six for a cough prescription, I thought about which day to come to the door to thank you, these days there is something at home that has been delayed, and please don't blame the old lady......"
The old lady of the long room seemed to be smiling, reciting the Buddha beads, "It's just a recipe, and the second lady is serious." ”
"It's not good to be silent," Mrs. Qi raised her eyes slightly, "It's not good to talk about it in front of Miss Six before, it's because my brother is sick, and after taking Langzhong's medicine, it doesn't get better, so I asked for prescriptions everywhere." ”
The old lady of the long room said "oh", but there was no surprise on her face, "Now my brother's illness has improved?" ”
Second Mrs. Qi swallowed, "I'm afraid that the cough has become a stubborn disease for a long time, but now it is not improving, so I am in a hurry." ”
The old lady of the long house nodded at this time, "I see that it is about to be spring, so it is better to step up treatment." ”
"It's not," Second Mrs. Qi picked up the handkerchief and touched the tip of her nose lightly, "In a place like Gongyuan, I don't know how many are brought out every year, and I am afraid that the weak body will not be able to hold on, and when it is autumn...... That's why I got a little worse in the exam. ”
"That's not bad," the old lady of the long room picked up the tea on the low table and drank it, "There are hundreds of people on the list, and the brother in the house always takes the front." ”
Second Mrs. Qi pursed her dry lips, "Let the old lady laugh." "The words of the old lady in the Chen family's room have two meanings, one is that Brother Xuan is indeed good, and the other is to blame them for having no one in their eyes, you must know that there are hundreds of people who have been lifted.
In the past, there was no estrangement between the two families, so they naturally sat for a long time, but now there are some suspicions, and Mrs. Qi Er said goodbye early. The old lady of the long room asked her to wrap a return gift to the Qi family, and the next person politely sent the second Mrs. Qi away, but Miss Chen Liu did not show up from beginning to end.
Mrs. Qi Er, who was sitting in the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, and the Chen family was also magnanimous and did not embarrass her.
