Chapter 219: Dignity and Humility
You must know that Liu Hui is just a county man, and that Yulu is simply pitiful. Even if Liu Hui followed the county order, when people ate meat, he could rub some broth to drink, but the amount of silver was not much.
Therefore, almost all the children in this family are living on Wang Siniang's dowry and silver.
Wang Siniang also knew that this was wrong, but seeing that her husband and her cousin were becoming more and more affectionate, she could only take out the silver in exchange for a few days when Liu Hui went to her room to rest.
In this way, Wang Siniang lived this kind of life of buying her husband with silver for the night.
To be honest, this is thanks to the idea that Aunt Xiang gave her. That is, all the money from the dowry was used to buy a shop, and the shop was rented out to earn rent. Her silver was not lost by this family.
But that's where the problem comes in.
In the days when the rent was not collected, Wang Siniang, who was not too wealthy, could not have too much silver in his hands. Therefore, she couldn't buy her husband to spend the night with her.
Therefore, after ten years of marriage, she has only given birth to a daughter for Liu Hui at the beginning of her marriage.
Of course, what no one knows is that the reason why Wang Siniang did not conceive Liu Hui's heir again was a good idea from her cousin.
What she means is that if Wang Siniang had a son of her own, would she be willing to pay money to support their family? Don't people think about their sons?
Therefore, the best way is to make Wang Siniang unable to give birth to a son. In that case, she will have no place in this family, and she will never be able to raise her head, so that she can better grasp this person.
As soon as everyone heard this idea, they cooperated with each other and tried not to let Wang Siniang get pregnant.
Because of this, Liu Hui went to Wang Siniang's room less and less, and tried to pick days when Wang Siniang was not easy to conceive.
Poor Wang Siniang still doesn't know that she has been calculated by other people's families.
It's really hard for Wang Siniang to have such a shrewd mother, plus Wang Ziyi's excellent genes, and it didn't raise this person's IQ.
Now, Liu Hui's family insists on recording the eldest son born by her cousin to her name on the grounds that Wang Siniang has not given birth to a son-in-law for the old Liu family for ten years of marriage. Wang Siniang faintly felt that the consequences of doing so were very serious and would be extremely unfavorable to her.
So, in the name of adding makeup to Wang Jibao, he went back to Heshunhou Mansion and saw Aunt Xiang once.
In the end, under Aunt Xiang's repeated questioning, she told Aunt Xiang all these things.
It is precisely because of this that Aunt Xiang thought of asking Wang Ziyi to help solve this matter.
Aunt Xiang made such a fuss, Wang Jibao and Jiang Shi thought about it later, and knew that it was related to Wang Siniang who came back a few days ago. Then he sent someone to inquire about what happened to Wang Siniang over the years, and everyone in their Hou Mansion should know all these things.
Wang Ziyi has really ignored this concubine all these years, and he actually feels a little guilty in his heart.
He wanted to meddle, but these things belonged to the inner house. In addition, Wang Siniang has been married for ten years, and she only has a daughter who is more than eight years old, so in the eyes of outsiders, they really don't care about this matter.
It was also in this situation that Wang Ziyi wanted to push the boat down the river and let the Jiang family do it. But back then, Wang Ziyi knew that what he did was not right, and he should not have crossed the Jiang family to choose this person for Wang Siniang. Therefore, it is not good for him to slap himself in the face to beg Jiang.
Fortunately, my little girl took over the matter.
To say, men are so contradictory, although they don't look down on concubines and concubines in their hearts, but when they think that these concubines and concubines are also their own children, this heart will still involuntarily worry.
Wang Jibao originally planned to ask Qingtian to come out to solve this matter, but later, Wang Ziyi privately found Wang Jibao. So this time, Wang Jibao came to Jingping County at the behest of Wang Ziyi.
Wang Jibao arrived in Jingping County that night, and she didn't want to deliberately choose to appear again when people held a banquet for a certain effect, and then smash the field.
So he took Wang Xu and Wang Brown without stopping anything, and went straight to the door.
Before they arrived at Liu Hui's mansion in Jingping County, Liangchen had already sent someone to inform them to come out to greet the princess of Zhenguo.
When Liu Hui's family heard that Wang Xibao had come suddenly, and that she had chosen to come at this time, and that she had come in person, they knew that what they had planned was probably going to come to naught.
Wang Siniang, who was staying in her house, was depressed and sad and depressed, hugging her only daughter and wiping her tears.
Suddenly, I heard my personal maid Yuru happily report: "Miss, good news." Princess Zhenguo came over in person with the two young masters of Heshun Hou Mansion. This time, you finally don't have to deal with them. ”
"What? The princess of Zhenguo is here. When Wang Siniang heard the news, she was obviously very surprised.
Why did she come in person?
originally thought that when she went back to the Hou Mansion to find her aunt this time, her aunt would definitely be able to persuade her father to send a competent person to come. I didn't expect the identity of the person here to be too high.
"Quick, hurry up and help me clean up." Wang Siniang said in a panic.
"Mother, who's coming? Can this person help us not to have that bad brother as a mother's son? Wang Siniang's daughter Ziyun asked Wang Siniang in a low voice.
"Shhhh Don't let their people hear. After Wang Siniang finished speaking, she glanced out the window nervously.
If her mother-in-law found out, she wouldn't know how to abuse Ziyun!
In addition to his own dowry Yuru and a housekeeper, this family is full of Liu Hui's eyes and ears. Just because she only gave birth to a daughter like Liu Ziyun, her in-laws became more and more unkind to their mother and daughter.
At first, those people were polite to their mother and daughter for the sake of money, but later because she did not give birth to a concubine for her husband, they began to treat them slowly.
A filial piety word is pressed, and she can't resist for Ziyun and her mother-in-law. Because of this, Ziyun has been abused and abused by them a lot over the years.
makes it so that the concubines of a county Cheng are not even as good as Liu Hui's several concubines.
Since Liu Hui became the county prince, the county master sent him two concubines, in addition, some people sent Liu Hui a few beautiful maids, some were raised to aunts because they gave birth to children, and some became his roommates.
After listening carefully, she didn't see any movement, so Wang Siniang asked Yuru to go out and stare at some.
"Mother tells you, this person who came today is the only concubine of Heshun Hou Mansion, and she is also the princess of Zhenguo who is now the saint of the country." Wang Siniang briefly explained Wang Jibao's identity to Ziyun.
"Mother, aren't you also a young lady from Heshun Houfu? Is this person coming today your sister? Ziyun asked innocently.
Wang Siniang replied very lonely while cleaning herself up: "Silly girl, my mother and this princess can't be called sisters. Both are the daughters of the prince of Heshun Hou, but the identities of her and Wang Jibao can be said to be one heaven and the other earth.
"Then why, my grandfather and grandmother let me and Erniang's younger brothers and sisters be called sisters and sisters."
Why can't her mother be called a sister to this princess?
After Liu Hui's cousin Xue Qin gave birth to Liu Hui's eldest son, the people in the house were asked to call her the second lady instead of the second aunt or Aunt Qin.
And let Ziyun, the concubine, call her Erniang.
"Although your father asked you to call them that, you must always remember that you are the concubine of this house, and they can only be regarded as half of your slaves."
Wang Siniang grew up in the Hou Mansion by watching Wang Jibao's scenery. In her cognition, only someone like Wang Jibao can be called a concubine.
Therefore, Wang Siniang has always taught her daughter how noble she is, and the children born to those concubines can only be regarded as half of Ziyun's slaves.
Because she herself is equivalent to half the master's status in Heshun Marquis Mansion. This kind of thinking has been ingrained in her heart.
For this matter, my in-laws from the countryside couldn't understand it at all. is also Liu Hui's child, why Ziyun is just a daughter, and the status of the two concubines born by Xue Qin is noble. It is precisely because of this that they defend their two eldest grandsons everywhere.
When Wang Siniang came to the gate with Ziyun, Xue Qin, who was standing beside Liu Hui and had a not very good-looking face, said in a strange manner: "The people you can rely on when this mother's family is here are different!" We've all been here for so long, and this lady has only now appeared. ”
Wang Siniang glanced at Xue Qin and said nothing, she would argue with her a few words before, but she was the one who suffered, and then she simply ignored it. That's where she's smart.
Xue Qin saw that he seemed to have punched the cotton again, and closed his mouth under Liu Hui's cold gaze.
When has this been, and this idle heart is fighting at the gate. Later, after the princess of Zhenguo came, she didn't know how to send them down? Liu Hui looked at Xue Qin at this time and became angry.
A lot of this is not because of this cousin.
When Wang Xibao's frame arrived in front of Liu Hui's house, she didn't come out at all, and directly let Wang Xu and Wang Brown go out. This can be regarded as a kind of experience for them.
So the first thing everyone saw was a young boy with a young face who was immature, but had a very tall figure, big eyes, and a jade-like complexion.
Then came down from the carriage was a young man with red phoenix eyes, pink and tender, not very old, but the corners of his mouth were always slightly upturned, with a hint of evil spirit.
Wang Xu watched Wang Brown get out of the carriage safely with great affection, and then took the lead in speaking: "I am the prince of Pingbei Hou of Shunhou Mansion. Then he pointed to Wang Brown beside him and said, "This is my cousin, the eldest son of the future head of the Heshun Mansion." ”
Then he bowed his hand to the carriage very respectfully and said, "Sitting in the carriage is my little aunt, the princess of Zhenguo who is now the Holy Lord. You don't hurry up to meet the driver. ”
