Chapter Seventy-One: Disciplined
The new brother-in-law is so young and vigorous, and after Shen Zanghui leads people back to Xiangningbo's Mansion, the Liu family and the Duanmu family have to tell their grievances in front of Mrs. Su. Of course, they won't directly say that Pei Meiniang is not good, Liu said this: "It's also that the daughter-in-law' is not thoughtful, thinking about making a fuss after being sent to the 'hole' room, it has always been the custom, the 'hole' room, it's not good if it's not lively." I didn't expect that the four brothers and sisters would also toss for a day, and their bodies couldn't stand it. Although the fourth brother and sister said that it is not strange today, the daughter-in-law 'wife' also has to ask her mother for a crime, but it is the daughter-in-law 'wife' who didn't think about it. ”
Duanmu, who was directly choked by Pei Meiniang, pinched the handkerchief and said with a look of concern: "The eldest sister-in-law is right, and the fourth brother and sister today reminded the daughter-in-law 'wife' - the second aunt went early, and now the fourth brother and sister are going to be in charge of the house when they enter the 'door', but the fourth brother and sister are so weak that they can't even support a ceremony of being a new 'wife', how can they stand the 'worry' of being the master of the house in the future?" ”
Although Wei Changying also felt that Pei Meiniang was a little too proud, but now that the Liu family and the Duanmu family had taken revenge, she didn't bother to join in the fun, so she sat there quietly drinking tea and didn't say a word.
Mrs. Su looked at the three daughters-in-law and asked lightly, "So what should you do now?" ”
Liu and Duanmu glanced at each other, and said in unison: "For the sake of the health of the four brothers and sisters, it is better to choose some people for the four brothers and sisters to share their worries." "It's almost clear that Mrs. Su stuffed Shen Zanghui's backyard with a few scheming 'servants' concubines.
"What kind of person do you choose?" Mrs. Su continued to ask, "Is it someone in charge, or someone else?" ”
Hearing that Mrs. Su's tone was not quite right, Liu hurriedly smiled: "That's what the daughters-in-law and 'women' say, and the mother has to make up her mind." After all, the fourth brother and sister are not in good health, so it's better not to be tired of her. ”
"Zangzhu was at home before, if the beauty girl can't manage it well, she has her own Tibetan bead to help her." Mrs. Su took a sip of tea, lifted her eyelids and looked at the eldest and second daughters-in-law, and hummed, "Zanghui is the son of your second uncle!" Your second aunt went early, so she asked me to raise him for a few years, although it is said that there is no grace in the market, but in the face of my nephew, I can't do something that is gracious and heavy! Now that Xiangningbo Mansion has a new 'female' master, we shouldn't go to do much more, let alone give her away! Now that Pei Meiniang has only been in the 'door' for a few days, why do you think she is not a good family? Even if it is not good, it is also the other side who took the initiative to mention it, so that we have the qualification to 'intervene' - I warn you, your father and your second uncle have a deep brotherhood, and also hope that the children and grandchildren will be harmonious for generations. Did you hear that? ”
Before Wei Changying entered the 'door', he heard that Mrs. Su was strict with the rules, but after passing the 'door', she felt that although her mother-in-law could not be compared with her biological mother, she was also a decent mother-in-law for her daughter-in-law. It was the first time she heard Mrs. Su training her daughter-in-law 'women', although this time she was mainly talking about Liu's and Duanmu's, but Wei Changying sat and watched her sisters-in-law calculate her younger siblings, Mrs. Su still swept her eyes coldly, Wei Changying didn't dare not apologize with her sisters-in-law: "It's the daughters-in-law 'women' who are confused!" Ask your mother to punish her! ”
After hanging them for a long time, Mrs. Su said coldly: "This will let you go for the time being, and there will be a next time, and I will not spare it!" Take care of your own room's affairs. With our Taifu Mansion, we are idle to the point where your cousin and daughter-in-law pass the 'door', and you can't wait to calculate her? I didn't take care of them in my room one by one, but I couldn't wait to reach out to my brother-in-law's yard! It's a shame that you still know that when you choose your husbands and daughters-in-law to go back first, otherwise it would not be my turn to say this to you in a good voice in front of them! Behold that they did not discipline you first! ”
said that the faces of the three daughters-in-law were all blue, white, and red, and they were so embarrassed that they couldn't get off the stage. After beating them repeatedly, Mrs. Sue let them go.
Wei Changying originally wanted to ask if she could visit her aunt Wei Shengxian tomorrow, but she didn't dare to mention it when she saw this situation, so she had to retire together.
Out of the upper room, Liu's originally respectful and remorseful face 'color' changed, becoming cold and full of evil, she looked left and right at the three subordinates, and asked the two younger siblings with a sneer: "The fourth brother and sister are really so majestic and decent!" Talent passes the 'door', and the tea is not finished and we lose face! Now I asked my mother to beat us up like this for her - I have never heard my mother say such harsh words in the more than ten years since I entered the 'door'! Our four brothers and sisters, although they are not from high backgrounds, are really unseemly! ”
Duanmu pulled the handkerchief and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, the two of us have provoked our mother's dislike, and the third brother and sister have no intention of embarrassing the fourth brother and sister." The eldest sister-in-law said so, wouldn't it be embarrassing to call the third brother and sister? Is this to follow the sister-in-law or persuade the sister-in-law? ”
The two sisters-in-law sang together and sang to Wei Changying to express their attitude, originally Wei Changying was not very happy for Pei Meiniang to be caught by Mrs. Su with a 'stick', and he was thinking about how to treat Pei Meiniang with the Huang family after returning to Jintong Courtyard. Now that I was 'forced' by the two sisters-in-law, I also felt disgusted, so I said lightly: "The four brothers and sisters are separated from us by a room, I think although my mother doesn't like us to discuss the affairs of the second uncle's room, but she also doesn't 'force' us to have a relationship with the fourth brother and sister?" Since they don't have a 'sexual' relationship with each other, it's just a matter of having less contact in the future. Originally, we didn't go to the second uncle's side every day. ”
Liu and Duanmu were very dissatisfied with her answer, so Duanmu sneered and said, "Third brother and sister, I heard that you were very favored at home when you didn't pass the 'door', and you also have a bit of a temper when you think about it. But I don't want you to talk so well, I will forget it, you and your sister-in-law, these days are busy for the four brothers and sisters to pass the 'door', the eldest sister-in-law is even negligent in Shu Ming's teaching, although you are out of the moon, you are now busy with a lot of things, but you can't take care of it, and even the eldest aunt who hasn't seen you for many years can't visit, just for this Pei Meiniang's 'door'! Now she is good, she doesn't miss her kindness at all, but she causes us to be scolded by our mother, so you can endure it, it's really a good 'temperament'! ”
"I don't feel very hard these days, not to mention that I have only passed the 'door' and do not understand anything. My mother asked me to help my two sisters-in-law take care of the house, and I didn't know what to do or how to do it. Wei Changying said lightly, "This time the fourth brother married a wife, I learned a lot from my mother and sister-in-law, and I am also thanks to my mother and sister-in-law for their guidance." What she said was actually true, Liu had experienced several marriages and was very familiar with this process.
But Wei Changying is young, and he doesn't understand these people's sophistication. It's not that I didn't learn well when I was in my mother's house, after all, there are many things that I can't do if I don't get married, and I can't be the 'meddling' of the young lady. This time Shen Zanghui married a wife, she helped Mrs. Su and Liu, and learned a lot of tricks inside and out.
So think about it calmly, Wei Changying didn't have the same indignation as Liu's, in the end, she herself benefited from Pei Meiniang's 'door' and 'manipulation'. Now I took this out to talk about it, in response to Duanmu's ridicule for her fear of Pei Meiniang.
It's just that the word "housekeeper" in her words made the faces of the Liu family and the Duanmu family sink, and they didn't care about how to retaliate against Pei Meiniang, they both thought: "Yes, my mother asked us to divide the power to this Wei family before, and she seized the power steadily at that time...... Later, the fourth brother married a wife, she was left in Xiangningbo Mansion to help, and she didn't care about this side of the matter these days, and now the Pei family has passed the 'door' - it seems that the Wei family is going all out to seize power, and it is strange that she refuses to deal with the Pei family! ”
Of course, the momentary anger cannot be compared with the power of the housekeeper, Liu and Duanmu thought that the power in their hands would be gradually lost, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, and they suddenly had no heart to discuss how to deal with Pei Meiniang, so they went back to their rooms with a perfunctory sentence - looking for henchmen to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Seeing this, Huang said: "The eldest young lady and the second young lady want to deal with the fourth young lady, why should the young lady mention any housekeeping at this time?" In this way, where can the eldest young lady and the second young lady still take care of the fourth young lady, they must all think about how to deal with you, young lady. ”
Although Wei Changying sent her two sisters-in-law, she was not in a good mood, and snorted when she heard this: "So what? I don't like Pei Meiniang either, but if it weren't for the two sisters-in-law who were there to add people to the fourth brother, how could they make my mother angry and affect me? Obviously it was the matter they provoked, and my mother said that they were not allowed to 'interfere' in the second uncle's room, and they didn't listen and wanted to drag me into the water. If I follow them to deal with Pei Meiniang, maybe I will be pushed out by them to be a shield! ”
Huang said: "Hey, the maid didn't mean to let the young lady follow the eldest young lady and the second young lady, it's just that the young lady didn't want to pay attention to their discussions, just find a reason to walk away, why do you have to mention the housekeeper?" ”
"If I don't mention it, will they stop being wary of me in the future?" Wei Changying was obviously in a very bad mood, and it was rare that she didn't have a good face for the Huang family, and said with a sneer, "Just allow them to drag me down and be reprimanded by my mother, and don't let me make them unhappy?" Aunt Huang, when you say that, aren't you afraid of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law? ”
Huang Shi heard her annoyance and hurriedly said, "How can it be? The servant is ......"
"So what are you worried about?" Wei Changying snorted, "If you co-author, you will allow me to listen to their sour words, and you will not allow me to talk back?" ”
"The maid is thinking, wouldn't it be good not to remind the eldest young lady and the second young lady to let them go and pinch the fourth young lady?" Huang smiled bitterly and argued.
Wei Changying said coldly: "These two sisters-in-law are so cunning that our mother just knocked us and we are not allowed to take care of the affairs of the fourth brother's backyard." They had a seizure just after they went out, and who knows if they deliberately made this appearance to lure me into it? Besides, even if they were really dizzy, and when they got back to their room, they would have calmed down and thought about it, I don't believe they would dare to openly disobey their mother's words! Do you really think that they will pinch Pei Meiniang, even if they do, it may not be now! Otherwise, how can the mother not be annoyed? ”
Huang was speechless, so he had to plead: "It's the servant who pretends to be smart, and asks the young lady to punish him." ”
Wei Changying said impatiently: "Let's go back first!" ”
