Chapter Thirty-Eight: Retreat as Advance



[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 169

When Wei Changying said this, Mrs. Su was also a little displeased, and said: "Your eldest aunt has always been tolerant, not to mention this matter, Ning'er is not right, but the people in the kitchen are also a little confused!" knew that Ning'er had always been ridiculous and loved to mess around, but she didn't even ask about it and got out of the pot! Even if your grandmother doesn't speak, your aunt won't spare them! I said before that there was a gap between your two aunts, but before your third aunt and aunt went over to explain, your three aunts and uncles went over to explain things clearly to your eldest aunt, and your two aunts are virtuous people, so how can you still be embarrassed? ”

…… Wei Changying married into the Shen family, and she also had to know about the important in-laws of the Shen family, not to mention that the Su family was still her aunt's husband's family.

The Su family's main sect Fufeng Hall, the current valve owner is known as the screen exhibition, one of the six Shangzhu countries of the Great Wei Dynasty, the lord is the Marquis of Kangle, and he is the Taibao, and his wife is Mrs. Deng who is sick this time.

Su Ping has grown up to adulthood with a total of three sons and two daughters, and the eldest daughter, Su Xiuman, is Mrs. Su; The young daughter Su Shaoyuan married a son of the Song clan in the south of the Yangtze River and has not returned to the imperial capital for more than ten years.

Among the three sons of the Su family, the second son, Su Mao, is a concubine, and although he has sons and daughters under his knees, he doesn't expect anything. The eldest son Su Xiuming and the third son Su Xiuwei originally had a good relationship. It's just that Su Xiuming's second son, Su Yuxian, the second son of the Su family, died early, and his wife Shen is Shen Zangzhu, the eldest daughter of Shen Zhou, Xiangning Bo.

Last time, Wei Changying passed the door and served tea the next day, and went to Xiangningbo Mansion to visit, Shen Zangzhu, who went home to be a widow, because he was a widow, was afraid of the joy of the newcomer and deliberately did not show up, but Wan Shi told him privately.

Although Su Xiuming also has a sister-in-law and the fourth son Su Yuliang under her knees, there is only a two-month gap between Su Xiuwei and Su Yuwu, the only son and the fifth son, Su Yuliang, Su Yuliang is a little indecisive and has no ambition himself. Originally, Su Yuxian was still there, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he was the default successor of Fufeng Tang, Su Yuliang's ability was poor, his ambition was small, and the elders would not feel too disappointed, it was better than brothers who could do it, and then kill each other.

But after Su Yuxian went, Su Yuliang couldn't see it, although Su Yuwu was not talented, but his temperament was much more decisive than Su Yuliang. Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei's own talents are almost the same...... Su Pingzhan is a long-term plan for the family, and his heart is inevitably biased towards the third room.

For the Su family's big house, it is already very sad to have no capable son-in-law, and as a result, even the position of the lord of the valve will be snatched away by the third room, how can I not be resentful in my heart?

For the third room, the sister-in-law of the big house was not killed by them, and the other sister-in-law of the big house can't hold up the scene, and their son is not allowed to fight?

The contradiction between the Su family's big house and the third room comes from here, and it is not a secret among relatives - this kind of family affairs is difficult to decide. Even Su Pingzhan and Mrs. Deng can't help it, let alone a junior?

For Mrs. Su, the discord between her mother's brothers is not a shameful thing, and it is not easy for her, a married daughter, to say anything about the Su family, when will it be her daughter-in-law's turn to worry about it? There are many daughters-in-law, and it is common for them to intrigue with each other, but in front of her, they actually talked about her mother's family, which is overstepping!

Seeing that Mrs. Su was annoyed in her words, Liu and Duanmu were busy pleading together, and Duanmu was busy saying: "Mother, it's not right to be a daughter-in-law, I casually mentioned the eldest aunt and the third aunt, but the third brother and sister misunderstood!" How dare the daughter-in-law ask the third brother and sister to meddle in the affairs of the Su family? The daughter-in-law just wants to ask the third brother and sister to come forward to persuade the fifth cousin! ”

Mrs. Su said coldly: "Persuade your fifth cousin to belong to your fifth cousin, what is the matter with your two aunts!" ”

Duanmu made amends again and again, and Mrs. Su read that she helped invite Duanmu Xinmiao, and she gave a few words of reprimand, which can be regarded as an expose. Liu Shi said, "Then, mother, where is the fifth cousin?" ”

“…… Chang Ying just entered the door, I'm afraid I don't know the temperament of your fifth cousin, I'll talk to her later. Mrs. Su pondered for a long time, but still agreed to the idea.

Seeing this, Liu and Duanmu glanced at each other, and there seemed to be schadenfreude in their eyes.

Wei Changying couldn't help but be shocked in his heart - if it didn't involve the elders, wouldn't it be difficult to make this kind of persuasion? Why do these two sisters-in-law gloat? Could it be that his cousin is extremely stingy, or does he take that parrot very seriously?

She turned her mind, and saw that Mrs. Su casually asked a few words about the situation at home, so she sent Liu and Duanmu away, and called herself closer: "Speaking of which, you have passed the door, haven't you seen your aunt's two children?" ”

Wei Changying hurriedly said: "Now that my daughter-in-law has arrived in the imperial capital, and my aunt is married to my mother's maiden family, I think there are many opportunities to see her in the future." ”

Mrs. Su nodded and said, "That's right." After pondering for a moment, he waved back left and right, and said straight into the road, "It's not for nothing that your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law joined forces to hand over this peace messenger to you." Yu Wu has a good temperament, not a narrow-minded person, if he just asks him not to worry about your four sisters, it is indeed not difficult. It's just that if that's the case, your two sisters-in-law won't try their best to push you out to take over this matter. ”

"Please also ask my mother for advice!" Mrs. Su bluntly said that the fight between her daughters-in-law, although Wei Changying was surprised, she also understood that this did not mean that she could make a complaint or confide in her grievances - Mrs. Su said this, not to comfort herself, but more to imply that she would not come out to arbitrate even if she saw this kind of fight.

Seeing that she didn't immediately ask for her own decision and didn't have the idea to push the matter, Mrs. Su's face showed satisfaction, she groaned for a while, and said, "I won't hide it from you, Ning'er is also fourteen, it's time to talk about others." ”

As soon as she said this, Wei Changying suddenly understood, and sure enough, Mrs. Su said: "She has a rough temperament and loves to make trouble, I don't worry about marrying far away, I am also married in the imperial capital, it is better to marry her cousin, kiss and kiss." ”

Wei Changying was thinking about how to answer this, and Mrs. Su continued, "This time, I took her back, and in the days when your grandmother gradually recovered, I had already told your aunt in private, and she was also very in favor, and directly took a jade mandarin duck hairpin as a token for marriage. As a result, I didn't have the mandarin duck hairpin, Ning'er...... This little obstacle ate the parrot of the fish dance! ”

Wei Changying said cautiously: "Is the parrot just a plaything......

"Playthings are playthings." Mrs. Su rubbed the corners of her forehead and said tiredly, "It's just that Yuwu has been raised for more than ten years, but anyone with a little character will definitely not be so rude, knowing that it is my cousin's beloved, I still want to start!" Originally, I thought that she was still young, and she might be sensible when she grew up. I didn't expect her to be so uncompetitive, and her good relatives were offended like this by her! No matter how generous Yu Wu is, it is not difficult to treat her as a cousin in the future, but she must be treated as a wife...... She looks like this, where can she be a good wife? ”

Mrs. Su seemed to keep scolding her daughter for being bad, and helped her nephew speak everywhere. In fact, I'm still worried about my daughter:

Although it is a cousin, the colorful feather parakeet that has been raised for more than ten years is suddenly eaten, and no one will be happy. At this time, he has to make a marriage with his cousin who ate his parrot, judging from the reaction of Su Yuwu who personally whipped the cook who put the parrot into the pot before Su Yuwu, and made a fuss about asking the elders to make the kitchen people attack, hindering his relatives, he may not treat Shen Zangning how, but if he is asked to marry Shen Zangning, he will definitely not be willing.

What's more, this Chenguang is so coincidental, Mrs. Su and Wei Zhengyin made an appointment with their children, and the children of the two had a conflict: if it wasn't for Shen Zangning running to eat Su Yuwu's parrot, and in turn what Su Yuwu did to Shen Zangning's love piece, Mrs. Su would have suspected that Wei Zhengyin didn't want to marry this family and didn't want to refuse herself in person, so she did it on purpose!

Because this family matter was brought up by Mrs. Su herself, and Mrs. Su was a woman, Wei Zhengyin would not suspect Mrs. Su of entertaining her. But I decided to ask my niece to be my daughter-in-law, and this niece is so nonsense...... Wei Zhengyin didn't say it on his face, can he be happy in his heart? In the end, the requirements for her niece are different from those for her daughter-in-law - Mrs. Su herself has a daughter and a daughter-in-law, and it is not clear how Wei Zhengyin is feeling now?

Even if Shen Zangning is the daughter of the Shen family's own sect, her brother Shen Zangfeng has been designated as the next lord. Su Yuwu married the youngest daughter of his aunt, and his status in the Su family can be further stabilized in the future, and his grandfather Su Pingzhan will inevitably pay more attention to him, which will be of great help to his future...... However, Shen Zangning has now left such a bad impression on her aunt and cousin, who knows if Su Yuwu's position will be stable in the future, will she find a new love?

What's more, the bad impression is secondary, the most important thing is that just like Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song were worried about Wei Changying in the past, Mrs. Su wants to marry her young daughter to her nephew Su Yuwu, and she is afraid that her pampered and willful daughter will marry someone else's family to be wronged, and she will always have some kinship for her uncle to be a daughter-in-law; However, why didn't he take a fancy to Su Yuwu's future, and wanted to use marriage to help his nephew, which not only allowed the youngest daughter to sit in the position of the future Su family's housewife, but also gave his son Shen Zangfeng a helping consideration?

The problem is, Shen Zangning is like this...... Can you afford the position of Su's housewife in the future?

Wei Zhengyin is embarrassed to go back immediately because of the jade mandarin duck hairpin, if Su Pingzhan, the owner of the Su family, really intends to support Su Yuwu, he may take the initiative to open his mouth and ask for this hairpin for the third room of the Su family!

Originally, this family matter was mentioned by Mrs. Su first, if the jade mandarin duck hairpin was claimed back by the Su family, even if outsiders didn't know, Mrs. Su felt that she would have no face to go back to her parents' house in the future!

So at the moment, she didn't care about punishing Shen Zangning, and told Wei Changying in detail about the incident, and said with a slightly solemn face: "Your two sisters-in-law are not bad, your third aunt is your aunt in the end, and she only has one brother from your mother's father, so it is impossible not to be close to you." There are some things that are really only convenient for you to do......"

Wei Changying's scalp was numb for a while, thinking that the fourth sister had made things like this, even if the second aunt hurt me again, my cousin was her biological flesh and blood, could she not think about her cousin first? Besides, thinking about the various mannerisms and behaviors he has seen Shen Zangning since he passed the door, Wei Changying himself can't imagine the consequences of this sister-in-law going to be the head of the Su family!

Is it the only aunt, is it in order to please her mother-in-law to go to guard Zheng Yin I for a while? Wei Changying scolded the two sisters-in-law to death in her heart, and was thinking about how to shirk the matter, but fortunately, Mrs. Su did not embarrass her, but said: "That little evil obstacle has done such a ridiculous thing, I don't have the face to ask your aunt now, it seems that Yufei's birthday is just around the corner, and as soon as her birthday passes, you will also be full moon." When the time comes, I will go to the Su family, not only to meet the elders, but also to return this jade mandarin duck hairpin in private. Yuwu is a good boy, this little evil obstacle...... Hengzhu, I don't have the face to let her go to Su's house again! ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Su took out a blue hairpin from her sleeve, and the hairpin head was carved as a cross-necked mandarin duck, the jade was delicate and soft, and the luster was warm - Wei Zhengyin was the only daughter of Mrs. Song who had grown to adulthood, although Mrs. Song had a heart on her son and was more negligent to her daughter, but she was not partiality to the point of making Wei Zhengyin feel aggrieved. Of course, Wei Zhengyin's dowry will not be bad, this hairpin is not as rare as the blood jade pair hairpin that Mrs. Su gave to Wei Changying, but in terms of jade quality, it is also the top among jadeite, which is enough to afford the four words priceless.

Wei Zhengyin took this hairpin out as a token, which can be regarded as a sign of her sincerity.

Originally, everything was fine, but he had no way to teach his daughter, so he asked this little sin to stir up a good marriage!

Mrs. Su handed the hairpin to her third daughter-in-law with a gloomy face.

But what Wei Changying, who carefully put away the jade mandarin duck hairpin, thought of: This hand is to retreat as advance...... I don't know how the second aunt is going to deal with it?
