Chapter 187: Spark (I)
When Xu Sijian heard that his mother had returned to his parents' house with his eldest brother, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you wait for me to come back!" ”
Xu Siyu smiled: "You are eating from the bowl and worrying about the pot." ”
Everyone laughed.
Eleven Niang sighed in her heart.
It seems that the third lady has not given up yet.
The difference between the descendants of a large family is not only influenced by birth, but also by the level of education.
The concubine is good to say, he can have the opportunity to receive the same education as the concubine, enter and exit the house, and make friends, so as to change a person's thinking and reverse a person's fate. And the concubine is very different. They don't go out of the door, follow their mothers or aunts, sisters-in-law to read and learn calligraphy, even if the family invited Mr. Xixi, but also most of them are over sixty years old, read "The Legend of the Martyr", know a few words, and do not talk about many truths. This is still in the south, where the literary style is prevalent, and in the north, many women are not allowed to read and write at all, and they rely on their mother's words and deeds to teach them everything. The mother-in-law usually despises and suppresses the concubines, and does not give those concubines equal opportunities to receive education, even if they have equal opportunities to receive education, the people around them will be more intentional or unintentionally slack, and after a long time, those concubines themselves are three points weaker and less courageous, and there is less of a down-and-out generosity in their gestures, and it is difficult to have a character who looks forward to Shenfei. As a biological mother, the aunt is usually from a humble background and has limited knowledge, so she can't help in this regard at all, so that most of the concubines are mediocre in qualifications. For such a woman, no one with a slight family background is willing to marry her back as a daughter-in-law. First, it is not good for the heirs, and it is difficult to educate excellent offspring, especially in the education of women; Second, their ability is limited, and it is difficult to cope with the daily affairs of the family.
In the same way, this is also the reason why the main wife is usually jealous of the well-born concubine. They are not like those women from humble backgrounds, who lose their confidence first, and Mrs. Masamu can often make them obedient in a few words. They often find ways to change their current predicament through their heirs and pets, thus threatening the interests of their sons and daughters and shaking the foundation of the family.
In ancient times, when the family was right, this was also the reason why the concubine was reluctant to marry the concubine. Door-to-door pairs not only refer to wealth, but also to the style and degree of education.
Yongping Houfu is no longer Xuanhe, and the third master Xu Lingning is just a concubine.
Not to mention Xu Siqin, whose parents' family background is thin, even if he is replaced by Xu Siqin, it is impossible for the Zhongqin family to marry the eldest daughter.
Everyone was lively, Xu Lingyi lifted the curtain and came out: "Come in!" ”
His expression was calm and his voice was gentle. The fifth master put his mind at ease, stepped forward with a smile, shouted "fourth brother" affectionately, and said busily: "The firecrackers have been bought, and the two little ones are specially guarded." On the evenings of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the first, second and third days of the new year, there are still seven small houses that specialize in setting off firecrackers. It's going to be fine. ”
Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded: "Not bad!" ”
When the fifth master heard this, he immediately rejoiced like a child who had been praised.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh when she looked at it.
Xu Sijian took the opportunity to come forward to salute Xu Lingyi, and then the group entered the inner room, and waited for the fifth master and Xu Sijian to salute Mrs. Tai, and sat down with the elders and young.
The fifth master told Mrs. Tai about the arrangements for setting off firecrackers again, and finally added: "...... The fourth brother also thinks it's good! ”
Mrs. Tai laughed when she heard this: "That's good, that's good." ”
A little maid came in and said, "The third grandmother and the eldest young master are back!" ”
"I'm back so soon!" Mrs. Tai smiled, "Come in!" ”
The third lady and Xu Siqin opened the curtain and entered, and they were a little surprised to see that everyone was there.
After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Tai asked with concern, "What happened to Sister Xian of the Gan family?" ”
"Oh," said the third lady, "now that you know, it's not good not to take a look." It's just a matter of doing your best. He did not directly answer Mrs. Tai's words.
Mrs. Tai smiled slightly, stopped mentioning this topic, and instructed the fifth master: "The housekeeper of the family will go to the red light alley tomorrow to give your father-in-law a New Year's gift, and you will personally go over to ask your father-in-law for peace." Your father-in-law hasn't seen you and Danyang for a few days. ”
The New Year's gift to the Luo family and the Gan family had already been sent yesterday.
The fifth master respectfully responded "yes".
The third master came over and asked Xu Lingyi and the fifth master to sacrifice to the god of the stove.
The fifth master greeted a few small ones: "...... Go, eat sugar and go. ”
A few children followed with a grin.
Mrs. Tai asked the third lady to step back: "...... Change your clothes and come over for dinner. ”
The third lady left in response, and Mrs. Tai supported Sister Zhen and Shi Niang to speak: "...... What I mean, Yizhen is alone in Xishan, lonely, let Sister Zhen accompany her. What do you think? ”
Eleven Niang's heart moved.
Obviously, he told Xu Lingyi that Sister Zhen wanted to go to Xishan to accompany the second lady, but Xu Lingyi said that it was his idea in front of Mrs. Tai. And Mrs. Tai was afraid that it was Xu Lingyi's idea, and she had an opinion, so she pulled the matter to her.
"Mother, this is a good thing." Eleven Niang was slightly moved, "I'll go and tell Sister Zhen'er." When do you think it's time to go? ”
Mrs. Tai nodded slightly: "I'm going to send something for the New Year to Yizhen tomorrow...... Just tomorrow! Tomorrow we will leave at the beginning of the day. ”
Twelve Niang nodded: "It depends on Niang's wishes." ”
While Mrs. Tai was talking to Eleven Niang, Amber was also talking to Holly.
"What is my sister going to do? If you don't tell me, how can I help you! Amber frowned slightly.
Holly bowed her head and did the needlework, but she didn't speak.
Amber sighed when she saw it: "I don't have as much affection as Hamaju and you." ”
Speaking of this, Holly raised her head a little helplessly, and said reluctantly with a smile: "I didn't mean that." But he never said why.
Amber had no choice but to take Holly's hand: "Good sister, don't blame your sister for not listening to her words." Think about it, who is a lady like our wife, and personally came to your house to discuss with you carefully, and the ten ** are all sent away in one sentence. Speaking of which, this is also the fate of you and your wife. But sometimes, my sister also has to think about whether it should be or not. ”
That's a bit of a weight.
Holly hurriedly said, "I know that too. It's just that in front of my wife, I really don't know how to say it! ”
Amber smiled and said, "Sister just tell Madame what is in her heart, what is not good." He quipped again, "Could it be that my sister has taken a fancy to which Qiaolangjun, and I am afraid that my wife will not be able to talk after asking questions, so I dare not say it?" ”
"you." Holly smiled and nudged Amber.
Amber smiled with her sleeves covered.
The atmosphere in the room became relaxed.
Holly also slackened.
"I don't really see Zhongwan show that?"
Amber was stunned when she listened: "I look very thoughtful." ”
Holly disagreed: "What do men want to look like." What you want is the ability to support your family. As he spoke, his eyes sank, "If you meet someone like my father, my mother is beautiful and virtuous, and in the end she will not end up selling her sons and daughters." ”
Amber had heard that Holly had an older brother who gave it to someone else's family as a son-in-law when he was five years old.
The smile on her face faded as she listened.
"Wan Daxian is the lady who looks at it, and the lady must like it very much. I don't know what he's like in front of Madame," Holly sighed, "He ...... last time I went to Goldfish Alley," and she paused as if she didn't know how to continue.
Amber listened to a heartbeat: "Could it be that he is ...... to you?" Frivolous words? ”
"No, no." Holly hurriedly said, "The attitude is humble, and he knows how to look at the face, but if I show a little bit of liking, he can do it immediately......" As she spoke, she lowered her eyelids, "There really is no manly appearance at all." Amber laughed when she heard this: "People saw a fairy-like sister standing in front of them, in a hurry, and only knew how to be single-mindedly careful and flattering......"
Hearing Amber's playful tone, Holly's face turned red with shame, and she reached out and slapped Amber: "What nonsense!" ”
Amber laughed even harder.
Holly had a bitter expression: "I'm different from you. You are the son of a family, and when you enter the house, you will work as an errand in the big lady's house. I'm different, I'm sold, I don't have any roots, I don't even have anyone to talk to. It was also because no one was willing to take care of my sick lady that the errand fell on me. "Speaking of Yao's mother wanting to marry her nephew," ...... Speaking of which, the forsythia in the big lady's house is one in a million, and the warp is not bad, why dare you just hit my idea? ”
Amber smiled.
Holly talks about the last time she washed the dust for Amber: "...... The same is ten taels of silver, why can the fifth aunt and grandmother make a big table of dishes, we can't! A hint of amazement flashed in her eyes, "After all, it's not because Madame didn't have anyone to rely on at that time. Even those mothers with heads and faces dare not take us seriously. Look at ...... now," he said, with a hesitant expression.
Is there something going on that I don't know about?
Amber couldn't help but secretly guess when she looked at it, and leaned over: "Good sister, let's talk about our own thoughts, what do you have to worry about?" ”
Holly still hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice and said: "Last time I went back to Luo's house, I heard Luo Qiao say that the eldest master has been resting in the fifth aunt's house since he came back, and the eldest lady knows about it, so she specially sent the sixth aunt over to serve, but the eldest master ...... The eldest lady was so angry that she knocked over all the medicines that Mother Xu respected! ”
Amber was stunned.
When she went back to Luo's house, she didn't hear Coral talk about this, but just told her that the newly married fourth grandmother who entered the door was very powerful, and she spoke one by one, not only taking advantage of the reason, but also willing to suffer a small loss, not only to clean up the fourth master well, but also to let these maids and mothers in the family dare not take it big in front of her. swept away the limelight of big * milk......
"If you think about it carefully, it's not because Miss Eleven back then is now Mrs. Yongping Hou!" Holly's expression was stunned, "I've finally escaped from the sea of misery now, and I don't want to fall into it anymore!" ”
"What do you mean by that sister?" Amber was a little confused.
Holly knew that she was asking on behalf of her wife, and said thoughtfully: "Manly man, sit up and walk resolutely." Wan Daxian looks like that, I look really uncomfortable...... I don't want to have more contact with this person! ”
Amber was a little embarrassed.
How can I get back to my wife?
That Wan Daxian is favored by his wife, and he can't be uncomfortable with Holly, so he doesn't want to get involved in this family business. There are several more marriages in this world that you and I are willing to do. Even the lady herself, didn't she reluctantly marry and live with the Hou Ye carefully?
Amber Holly could see that the reason why she didn't tell Eleven Niang was because she had the same scruples.
"If I say that I don't marry because I don't like it, Madame is afraid that I'm crazy. But let me make up Wan Daxian, in case the lady has a pimple in her heart, wouldn't it hurt Wan Daxian...... Although I don't want to see this man, I can't say anything bad about him for my own sake...... I really don't know how to say hello to Madame! ”
