Mother-in-law Xiang was extremely attentive in front of Amber, and Amber also knew some things about her family.

The only son died of illness before the age of twenty, leaving a son and a daughter. She couldn't bear to be widowed by her young daughter-in-law, so she remarried. The old man helped feed the horses in the stable, eating and drinking was in the house, and the monthly rate was 500 wen a month, and she didn't have a serious errand, with her grandchildren, life was really difficult.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be silent for a long time when she heard this.

Not to mention that the rough mother-in-law in her house is still dedicated to everything, even if she wants to change people, it is impossible to use a mouthful. In her previous life, she had smooth sailing, and when she went to Luofu, she was forced into the dust by the environment, and she also begged people from all over the place, and her feelings were deeper than ordinary people. Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. gave Xiang Pozi such a big hope, and then sent her away with a light sentence of "no replacement for the time being", but I was afraid that she would not be able to sleep for more than half a month. And those two roast chickens, I don't know where I saved the money to buy them. Pity her yourself, related to your own experience. And Amber was ashamed to talk about it, which surprised her!

"How old are the grandsons and granddaughters of Mrs. Xiang?"

Amber's eyes lit up when she listened: "The granddaughter is the oldest, she is twelve years old this year, because she was born in April, her name is Fang Fei." The grandson is young, ten years old this year, and his name is Suo'er. ”

Eleven Niang remembered that there was a person named Fang Fei in Yuan Niang's house: "Is it an errand in the eldest sister's house?" ”

"It's not." Amber smiled, "I heard that he is also very smart and clever, so the people in the mansion shouted loudly." ”

Eleven Niang groaned: "It's too long to talk to your mother-in-law, it's not suitable to stay with us." When the time comes, you will see if there is any errand for the maid, find an errand for Fang Fei, and then point out Fang Fei, don't be like her grandmother, the errand will naturally be long. ”

Amber is the most powerful big girl around Shi Niang, and everyone in the Xu Mansion knows it. Although Eleven Niang is not in charge, if there is a shortage in the house, she wants to go in alone, and the third lady will not refute her face for this. Naturally, this is not difficult to do. Amber happily agreed, and the two talked about the house.

“…… The old marquis has accepted three concubines. The first one was the one who served by his side and gave birth to the third master. When he was in his thirties, he fell ill and died. The second did not give birth to children, and the old marquis died of illness within two years of his death. The third was accepted by the old marquis in his later years, when the old marquis died, she was only in her early twenties, and Mrs. Tai gave her a sum of money and let her out. When the old marquis was alive, the aunts each had five days, and the rest of the days rested in the lady's house. After the third lady married in, she also followed this rule, and the former aunt and grandmother also followed this rule. ”

Eleven Niang didn't know that the third master also had a concubine: "...... How many aunts do you have? Do you know where they come from? ”

"There is only one, surnamed Yi, who is the third lady's companion, and the third lady's face is open when she is pregnant with the eldest young master. Never had a child. It's very close to our Aunt Qin. ”

They are all from maids, so they have a common language!

Eleven Niang nodded slightly.

“…… The second master was not on the tenth day of the first month of the fifty-second year of Jianwu. Aunt Wen was brought into the house on the sixth day of the first month of November, and Aunt Qin and Aunt Tong then opened their faces. The old marquis went on the seventh day of December. ”

The Qin family and the Tong family were both born as servant girls and served Xu Lingyi since childhood. It is said that the Tong family died a long time ago, and the Qin family raised the aunt because she gave birth to the eldest son......

"I remember, Qiu Luo doesn't seem to have lifted his aunt?"

"You remember correctly. Didn't lift my aunt. Amber knew what Eleven Niang wanted to ask, and said in a low voice, "Tell my mother-in-law that Aunt Tong was already four months pregnant when she died, and if the child can be born, I am afraid that the eldest young master will be older...... also said that Aunt Tong's appearance and temperament cannot be compared to the Hefu to this day. When serving Hou Ye, she never went anywhere to see the excitement, that is, on days like the New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, people all over the yard went out to play, and she also stayed in the house to smoke quilts and warm tea for Hou Ye. ”

Beautiful, sensible, and polite, she lifted her aunt when she opened her face, and then became pregnant with her first child...... In the end, there were two deaths!

Eleven Niang only felt cold in her heart: "Do you know how she died?" ”

Amber's face turned slightly pale: "It was said that it was a tire gas......

Isn't it said that the first three months were the most unstable? How do you still ...... by the fourth month

"Where's Master Hou?" Shi Niang asked in a low voice, "Master Hou knows that Aunt Tong is dead, but how do you react?" ”

said that Yanjing was uneasy at that time, and Mrs. Tai sent the Hou Ye to his hometown in Henan to guard the tomb of the old Hou Ye. When I came back, Aunt Tong had been dead for almost two years. I can't see anything different about Hou Ye. But it didn't take long for Hou Ye to quarrel with his aunt and grandmother for the second lady. Then the two gradually separated. ”

"Oh?" Eleven Niang listened to her body all the time, "Why are you quarrelling?" ”

"The house we live in now, to the east of the main hall, is the upper courtyard where the marquis and his wife have lived. After the second master got married, he originally lived in the courtyard where the aunts live in our house now, at that time, the Dianchun Hall had not been demolished, the Hou Ye and the eldest aunt and grandmother lived in the Dianchun Hall, and the fifth master was still young, so he lived in the west wing of our hospital. Later, the second master died, and the second lady was a widow, so it was reasonable to move to a more secluded place to live, but at that time she was sick and confused, and in broad daylight, she actually said that she heard the second young master coughing in the study room, and asked the maid to send a cloak to the second young master...... Mrs. Tai listened to the tears streaming down her eyes, and cried there with her, and no one dared to mention the matter. Later, the second lady got better, the old marquis went again, and the lady fell ill. It just so happened that there was an accident at home, saying that the old marquis was what kind of party, and if he couldn't get it, he wanted to win the title, thanks to the old lady of our family who came forward to deal with it, this can be safe. So when you marry in, everyone says that the Xu family is repaying the favor of the Luo family! ”

There is such a thing in the Xu and Luo families, and it is the first time that Eleven Niang has heard of it.

“…… Hou Ye and Third Master run outside every day. The eldest aunt and grandmother presided over the feeding, and the third lady was pregnant, and the lady was inevitably a little inconsiderate. Thanks to the second lady dragging the sick body and taking the fifth master to hold the medicine and soup in front of the lady, and also to supervise the fifth master's homework, everyone was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left. After the matter passed, Hou Ye and the third master went to their hometown in Henan to guard the tomb, and the second lady helped Mrs. Tai take care of the family's property, and stayed in Mrs. Tai's house for nine out of ten days. Naturally, no one mentioned her moving. ”

Eleven Niang was stunned: "The second lady helped Mrs. Tai take care of the family's property?" ”

Po said solemnly, "I've asked repeatedly. told his mother-in-law that the stewards of the outer courtyard had everything to show to the second lady. The matter of the inner courtyard was shown to the eldest aunt and grandmother. ”

Eleven fell into deep thought.

Amber continued: "Later, the Hou Ye and the Third Master came back, and the Third Master took over the management of the family's property, and the Second Lady proposed to move to the place where the current Mrs. Tai lives. Hou Ye disagreed, and said, I didn't come back to drive the widow out. The second lady listened to it, but it was not easy to mention the matter again. Mrs. Tai saw that this was not going to work, so she asked people to rebuild two courtyards next to Dianchun Hall, which is where the fifth master lives now and the place where the original aunt and grandmother live. ”

"In this way, the courtyard where the fifth master lives and the house where the eldest aunt and grandmother live were both built later?"

"Hmm!" Amber nodded, "And when these two courtyards were started, the eldest aunt and grandmother invited the Changchun Taoist of Qin Tianjian to come to see feng shui, and the Changchun Taoist said that he talked about the Hou Ye's heirs, and also said that the place where the eldest aunt and grandmother lived in the west, and the Hou Ye Shenggeng was in conflict, so the heirs were thin, if they could move to the house of Xu Jiakun, not only would the Hou Ye be able to turn evil into good fortune and the descendants would be prosperous, but also the eldest aunt and grandmother would be able to give birth to Lin'er in the spring." When the eldest aunt and grandmother heard this, they asked the Changchun Taoist chief to do the ......"

When Eleven Niang was handling a divorce case, she saw a lot of blood, and any trivial thing that others thought was trivial could become the fuse of divorce. Later, she could also guess a few points: "As a result, the Kun position of Xu Mansion is exactly the courtyard where we live now!" ”

Amber nodded again and again: "At that time, the courtyard next to Dianchun Hall had not yet been built. When the second lady heard this, she immediately moved to the current house in the back garden. Hou Ye thinks that his aunt and grandmother are troublesome. He also said that the second lady is a woman who lives alone in the back garden, so you might as well drive her directly to the nunnery, at least there is someone to be her companion. The eldest aunt and grandmother were very aggrieved, and said that she had lived in the Xu family's upper courtyard for three years without saying a word, and if I wanted to drive her, I would have rushed a long time ago. Who knows that Hou Ye was even more angry when he heard this, saying that the eldest aunt and grandmother are thinking about the upper house every day, and said, now I am the Hou Ye of Yongping, motivated, are you satisfied now? Happy? The eldest aunt and grandmother were so angry that they cried into tears, and said, I didn't live with you when you weren't the marquis? The words of the two became deeper and deeper. Hou Ye, who never spoke loudly in front of his aunt and grandmother on weekdays, actually slapped the pineapple wooden kang table next to him with one palm, and was so frightened that Wanxiang ran to find Mrs. Tai. ”

"And then Mrs. Tai counted the Hou Ye down?"

Amber stared at Eleven Niang with round eyes: "How do you know?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled slightly: "Mrs. Tai is a person who helps the weak but not the strong." The second lady was alone, so she pitied the second lady; The fifth master is like a child who doesn't grow up, so she is afraid that the fifth lady will be wronged; The third lady has two sons by her side, and the third master is obedient to the third lady, and the lady will definitely not worry about her not having a good life, she is the most at ease, and naturally pays the least attention. "She has seen a lot of such mothers-in-law. The daughter-in-law often thinks that her mother-in-law's bowl of water is not even, but the mother-in-law hopes that everyone will live well, and if you have the ability, I don't need to help you anymore. "Now that the eldest sister and the Hou Ye are quarreling, she naturally wants to help the eldest sister count her son and settle the matter!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Amber's eyes: "As a result, the marquis, who is usually silent in front of Mrs. Tai, also moved to the back garden in a fit of anger." ”

"Half Moon Pan?"

Amber jaw.

"Then the eldest sister also moved to her current house in anger." Eleven Niang couldn't help but wonder, "How did the two reconcile later?" ”

Otherwise, how could there be a brother?
