Cousin Wei really underestimated Su Erniang's "true temperament", and when she saw her furious, she stretched out a danko-dyed index finger and rushed straight to the tip of Sanniang's nose, her eyes seemed to contain wind and thunder, and she was frightened for a while.

Siniang was almost so frightened that she dropped the teacup, and she was in danger of steady.

Qi Niang stood up, thinking that if the second sister wanted to make a move, she would have to stop it immediately, although most of the sisters present were her own sisters, An Ran An Jin was also used to seeing the contradictions and conflicts of the second mother and the third mother, in the end, there was a cousin of the Wei family, after all, it was the first time to meet, if the two sisters really let the two sisters scuffle, it would be really ridiculous and generous.

The situation is on the verge of escalation.

But I suddenly heard a laugh outside the curtain.

Wei Zhao raised his eyes in a panic, but saw a young woman in her early twenties, with a hairband full of beads and bright eyes and bright teeth, came in generously, stretched out her hand and slapped Erniang's arm: "I heard Erniang's voice from afar, and said that you and a few sisters have not seen each other for a long time, and you are happy, but you know that you are arguing with Sanniang, and you have already become someone's daughter-in-law. ”

Wei Zhao was surprised to see the menacing Su Erniang, her eyes turned red, she stomped her feet and shouted "little aunt", covered her face and sat on the side.

It turned out to be the only daughter of the eldest princess, and she really had a woman's style, Wei Zhao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Lian eagerly, and he couldn't take his eyes off it for a while.

Su Lian saw that he persuaded one, so he said to the other: "Our Sanniang has always been clever and fierce in fighting for every inch of land, and she doesn't eat any loss, but it's a pity that it's a daughter, if it's a seven-foot man, I'm afraid that I can lead the troops to fight, and I can first lose face with the enemy army before the battle, and I am so impetuous, and I am afraid that I won't win?" ”

Sanniang's face was also flushed all of a sudden, and she got up, first at Su Lian Yifu, and then at Erniang with bentries: "It's me who shouldn't talk like that." ”

Su Lian smiled at this time: "Okay, okay, my own sisters, just forget about the dispute, just put the little hands together, don't worry about it." Suddenly, I felt a little girl glaring at her, and she smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly: "When I looked at it, I thought it was Feng'er standing here, but Wei Shilang's daughter?" ”

Qi Niang smiled: "Little aunt is in a daze, even if Sister Zhao and Fifth Brother-in-law Xiao are similar, you can't make a mistake." ”

Su Lian looked around at the nieces and nieces, and saw that there was a lack of eight mothers, so he asked.

Sanniang was the oldest, so she replied: "The eighth sister is also here today, but she doesn't know how recently she is restless, sighing all day long, sitting for a short time I think the house is stuffy, and I am not afraid of the cold, so I went to the backyard to hang out." ”

Su Lian smiled: "Eight girls love to learn five or six two girls, holding the scroll all day long, I look at the five and six two girls are fine, the eight girls are more and more sad in the spring and autumn, a few days earlier led Xiao Xiao back to see his grandmother, just arrived at the edge of the mirror pool, I saw a fair lady crying at the falling flowers, muttering something 'I don't know where to go', the sad and panicked little appearance, but the Xiao Xiao who was used to lacking heart eyes were red-eyed, and a few drops of gold beads fell under his mouth. ”

Liuniang's words made Liu Niang laugh, and she came over and sat down next to Su Lian: "Why did the little aunt even joke about Xiao Xiao, how old is he, and he is not even one year old, so you say that he lacks heart." Qi Niang hurriedly pestered Su Lian and asked, "What about my little cousin, why didn't my aunt bring it?" ”

Su Lian opened Qi Niang's hand: "The last time I took it back to the Gongfu, I was taken to play wild by your girl, I didn't sleep all night, I howled in the shaker, and I shouted 'horse and horse' in my mouth, and the dark light was blind at night, so I had to hold him and ride on the horse, and it was easy to let the kid fall asleep, and this matter reached the ears of his grandmother, knowing that such a big child was taken by you to the saddle, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he didn't dare to let me carry him out." ”

Qi Niang stomped her feet and shouted wronged: "How could I be so bold, I just want to lead Xiao Xiao to the horse farm to see, how do I know that I am meeting Daddy and a few personal soldiers to bow down, it is Daddy who insists on holding Xiao Xiao to ride a horse, saying that my aunt is a chivalrous girl, and my uncle is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, the little guy can't fall into the prestige of his father, and he is a ......hero when he rides a horse at the age of one and draws a bow at the age of three." ”

Wei Zhao saw that several little ladies in the Guogong Mansion were so close to Su Lian, his eyes were so red, in the Wei family, the elders had to hold the parents' shelves, don't say father, even if it's a mother, they have never been coquettish, they have to learn etiquette at the age of three, don't look back, don't lift their lips, remember that they were five or six years old at that time, because they were hungry for the jujube cake in their grandmother's plate, they couldn't help swallowing saliva, and their mother saw it, and punished her for standing under the corridor looking at the jujube cake for two hours, which was really bitter tears.

I heard Su Lian ask again: "Why don't you see our birthday star?" ”

Before the words fell, Yijing sneezed and lifted the curtain to come in, naturally it was a cold noise, she had already heard Xia Ke report the dispute between Erniang and Sanniang, at this time, seeing Sanniang's face as usual, Erniang finally turned red at the corners of her eyes, secretly thinking that the second sister should have something else on her mind, so she held Su Lian with one hand and Erniang with the other: "The second sister and the little aunt are the first to come back, follow me to the house to take a look." He threw a look at Siniang again.

Just about to "evacuate", but felt that his sleeves were tight, and when he turned around, he saw Cousin Wei's cheeks slightly red, and his eyes were shining...... Father should approve ......"

Yijing was overjoyed to see Wei Zhao coming as promised today, and when he heard this, he felt that his uncle's attitude should have changed, of course he would not refuse, he groaned slightly, and thought about it: "When I see the old princess later, tell her more about the scenery of Qingzhou and the scenery along the way." Wei Zhao obviously understood Yijing's plan, if the old princess opened her mouth to stay, she would be as strict as her mother, and she would not oppose the wishes of the elders, and she would smile immediately.

Yi Jing was a little puzzled, and said that although this little cousin felt cordial when she first saw each other, she was not familiar with each other in the end, and when she first came back to the palace, she actually asked to stay for a few more days, and I don't know why, could it be that the family education in the Wei Mansion was too strict, so that Ah Zhao couldn't bear to be so dull? It's not like it, she grew up in that environment after all, and she has endured it for more than ten years, so she should have gotten used to it.

That is, a little doubt, and it will be forgotten in an instant.

I just entered the house, but I saw Erniang lying on the kang and crying bitterly, Siniang was anxious beside her, and the little aunt couldn't help frowning, Yijing hurriedly approached, stroked Erniang's back and persuaded for a while, looked at Siniang, but saw her shook her head, obviously I didn't know what was going on, Yijing had to call Jixiang who followed Erniang, and asked straight to the point: "What's wrong with the second sister, is it that she has suffered something wronged in the Zhou family?" ”

Jixiang also had red eyes, seeing the people present, Lian Niangzi is an elder, Siniang is Erniang's sister, although Yijing is separated by a room, Erniang has been closest to her in the past two years, and she did not hide it, so she told what happened in detail.

It's all because of the maid snow goose in Zhou's brother-in-law's house.

Brother-in-law Zhou has a scholarly demeanor, the best red sleeves are fragrant, he is the youngest son in the family, Mrs. Zhou used to hold it in the palm of her hand when she was alive, she knew her son's habits, and the maids she picked were all soft, especially the snow geese, not only skillful, but also top-notch in appearance, and her temperament was more gentle, and she waited beside her brother-in-law at the age of eleven or two, and later became the housekeeper in the brother-in-law's house.

Brother-in-law Zhou and Erniang made a marriage, and the original maids were all allowed by the eldest sister-in-law, but this snow goose was already set by Mrs. Zhou's room, unlike the others, the eldest sister-in-law still let her wait by Zhou Lang's side, because she was worried that Erniang would pick on it, and temporarily placed it in the study of the outer courtyard.

Erniang recently heard that Zhou's brother-in-law had a room, and she was furious, and rushed directly to her eldest sister-in-law, forcing her to sell the snow goose.

The eldest sister-in-law was in a dilemma, and Brother-in-law Zhou heard the wind again, so that she could persuade her, Erniang refused to turn around, and made a big deal of power, and later blamed the eldest sister-in-law for being uneasy and kind, Brother-in-law Zhou got angry, took the case, threw down a sentence of "jealous woman" and walked away, and lived in the study in the front yard for more than ten days.

After hearing this, Yijing felt angry at first, and couldn't help reproaching: "The second brother-in-law is too, how long has it been since I got married, and I had an awkward quarrel with the second sister for the sake of a maid." In fact, she can't tolerate concubines in her private heart, so she is extremely sympathetic to Erniang's situation.

Erniang raised her teary eyes, and grabbed Yijing's hand: "That's it, I can't get used to his squishy habits, since the Holy Majesty ordered the resumption of the imperial examination, but whoever knows a little about progress, these days are diligent in penance, counting on the future to rely on the ability to gain a fame, he doesn't know how to be motivated at all, all day long he likes to go to the tile to listen to music and listen to operas, and pursue the servants, even if he goes home, he rushes into the study, and he is fooling around with the hooves." ”

Su Lian frowned, glared at Yijing first, and then said to Erniang: "One yard is one yard, you should persuade the second aunt if he doesn't get in, but the matter of the snow goose is not right, it's all on you." ”

Not to mention that Erniang was stunned, Yijing also felt surprised, only Siniang sighed lightly.

Su Lian continued: "I'll first say what Erniang is wrong, first, even if you occupy the big reason, you shouldn't collide with the eldest sister-in-law, Shiro's biological mother died of illness, his eldest sister-in-law is in charge of the middle feed, is the master of the inner house, as the saying goes, 'the eldest brother is the father, the eldest sister-in-law is the mother', if you have a mother-in-law above, will you be so willful?" In addition, your eldest sister-in-law I also know that she is the most generous and virtuous, your mother-in-law is sick in bed, and she has been taking care of her in front of the bed for two years, so she said that your eldest sister-in-law has been wronged in her husband's family, and it is also your eldest sister-in-law who came forward to turn her around. ”

Jixiang looked at Erniang, and said boldly: "Lianniang is right, the eldest grandmother usually treats Erniang very considerately, and she was originally afraid of the snow goose's eyes, so she was temporarily transferred away, even if Erniang committed a crime and went to cry in front of the grandmother, the eldest grandmother was also kind to persuade her, saying that the snow goose was set by the wife in the past, and it was her duty for many years...... I also persuaded Erniang that it was up to Erniang to decide whether to give the snow goose a title in the future......"

Erniang was still unwilling: "Then why didn't she just dispose of that cheap maid, what kind of virtuous and generous, it's not pretending!" ”

Su Lian's expression became more serious: "This is the second thing I want to say!" I know that you girls, because you look at the situation of our family, you all want to be able to have a couple for a lifetime in the future, but in this world, it is natural for men to take concubines, for the sake of the prosperity of their heirs, can everyone force their husbands not to accept concubines? Mother she has never forced this, but also know that this thing can be encountered but not sought, so for us to choose a family although many considerations, the focus is on the selection of good morality, good family style, the future will not be disrespectful to the wife, you are still young, and newly married, at this time all I want to be affectionate, but I don't know that between husband and wife, you are respecting each other, you are married to a noble eunuch family, even if the husband is unwilling to take a concubine, the family elder will also have pressure, Erniang, although your mother-in-law died of illness, don't forget that there is a patriarch in the clan, you can't be willful. ”

Seeing that in addition to Siniang, Erniang and Yijing were still unconvinced, Su Lian took a deep breath: "If you really can't tolerate the concubine room, the key is still in the man, only if he himself is willing, single-minded, and willing to fight against the pressure of the family for you, it is possible, I asked Jing Yatou, if in the future, Feng'er proposes to take a concubine, will you cry and make trouble like Erniang, and sell people?" ”

Yijing gritted his teeth and thought about it, and shook his head in frustration.

Su Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't want you to take the initiative to give your husband a concubine for the sake of a virtuous name, but things are scored in different situations, like Erniang, the second aunt and you have already reached the crown when they got married, and in addition to our family, most of the families will prepare a maid like a snow goose when the man is fifteen or six, although it is a slave, but it is also a human life, I don't have to say that people have not made mistakes, because of the master's will, in the end they lost their innocence, but they will be sold. Not to mention selling it, isn't it forcing people to death? Xue Yan has been waiting for the second aunt for many years, and the two have some affection, but any man with a little conscience will not agree to you being unreasonable, and listening to what Jixiang said, the Zhou family did not force the concubine to take a concubine at this time, and even in the future, it is all up to you to take the idea, even you can't tolerate this, and for this reason, you also scolded the eldest sister-in-law, no wonder the second aunt is angry. ”

Erniang stiffened her neck and said, "It's like the third uncle, isn't there no concubine, and there is a big sister...... Why did you come to me and become a jealous woman? ”
