Chapter 3: Trouble
In the afternoon of the next day, Wei Changying and his two younger brothers-in-law finished handling the family affairs of the day, so they asked people to take a list of the children born in the family, and called Shen Yan, the current head of Ming Peitang, to obey the order.
Knowing that it was for Shen Shuxie to pick someone, Su Yuyin and Huo Qingling were very concerned, and they came together to help Zhangyan.
In the end, the three of them asked Shen Yan for advice, and decided to let the aunt Niu Shi, the ambassador daughter Zhu Yi, who had served Wei Changying in the past, be the aunt of Shen Shuxie's side, and chose a few sensible and careful sons as ambassador daughters.
This matter is settled, and it will be handed over to Shen Yan to pass on his life.
The three of them ordered someone to take tea and snacks as usual, and yesterday they talked about the marriage of several people in the family, and today Wei Changying didn't think about what to say, Su Yuyin took a sip of tea and put it down, and said with a smile: "Do you know the third sister-in-law?" Didn't we just discuss a few words about the second brother's continuation yesterday? I thought that when we were brothers-in-law, we thought of the heirs for the second brother, but I was afraid that the second brother would not like it when he found out! But I don't want some people to even find a candidate for the second brother! ”
Hearing this, Wei Changying and Huo Qingling's faces changed: "Why is there someone in the clan who is restless again?" Who did they choose? ”
Huo Qingling frowned lightly and said, "Second brother is not a foolish person!" These people also know that they still have to look for the second brother in this way......"
"It's that I didn't make it clear, it's not that it's a continuation." Su Yuyin hurriedly said, "Rather...... Concubine. ”
Huo Qingling was puzzled: "This is even more unreasonable, it is difficult for our sect to find a few people who can serve the second brother?" Do you need them to worry about such a heart? ”
"Presumably there is something about those concubines that make them sure that they can touch the heart of the second brother, right?" Wei Changying snorted and said.
Su Yuyin said: "Isn't it? I heard that those concubines have no strengths, but they have many brothers and nephews in the family. ”
"Yi Nan?" Wei Changying frowned, "They really have good intentions. ”
Although Duanmu Yanyu's murder of his son was covered up in the past, it was no secret that Shen Yushi was indifferent to Shen Shuyan, the only bone and blood left after the great change. Coupled with his heartfelt love for Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie's two nephews, everyone can see that he is patriarchal.
What's more, the concubine is not a wife, and her status is low, even if Shen Yushi accepts it, Shen Zangfeng and these people are not easy to say.
"But I don't understand, the second brother is not a person who will be influenced by the backyard, these people have gone to great lengths to find a woman who is suitable for men and plan to be a concubine for the second brother, do they really just want to do good deeds?" After thinking for a moment, Wei Changying was very puzzled.
Shen Yong is really patriarchal, and he may not refuse the concubines sent by the clansmen, the question is, what if he accepts these people, and these people also give birth to sons?
He is not Shen Zanghui, who obeys his wife's words.
Earlier, when Duanmu Yanyu was there, as his wife, he said slowly that Shen Yongshi listened to him, and he was accidentally beaten by him. It was the concubine who gave birth to Shen Shuyi, the concubine whom Shen Yongshi regarded as a treasure, and Shen Yongshi never paid attention to it after that...... This kind of temperamental Shen Yongshi, to be honest, started to deal with him from the backyard, Wei Changying felt that it was not a way at all - because Shen Yongshi didn't take the woman in the backyard in his eyes at all!
Su Yuyin smiled faintly and said, "Our sect was originally flourishing, but after last year's catastrophe, now the people are withered. It is said that several elders in the clan are very worried about us, and feel that after filial piety, we should persuade us to be more generous as wives, and take the initiative to recruit concubines for our husbands, so as to extend the heirs. ”
These words made Wei Changying and Huo Qingling's faces sink!
"Forget about the two of us, but the third sister-in-law already has two sons under her knees...... Huo Qingling frowned, "Do they still want to persuade the third sister-in-law like this?" ”
"I heard people say that the people in the clan say that our father has six sons and two daughters under his knees, and the third sister-in-law is now the head of the house, and she should also learn from her mother's bearing and mind!" Su Yuyin glanced at Wei Changying and said, "Third sister-in-law, don't think that I am sowing discord with my words - I know that with the relationship between the third brother and the third sister-in-law, I won't pay attention to such words, but I am afraid that the ill-intentioned thing in the clan will say that the third brother is afraid of the third sister-in-law if he does not accept a concubine!" ”
Wei Changying said with a gloomy face: "I know. ”
After a pause, she said, "The concubine is just a small way, even if we accept it, is it difficult for them to turn the sky upside down?" It's just an idea to distract us! It's just that these people are too underestimating us, if before the fall of the imperial capital, our eyes are still in the backyard, maybe we will be troubled by this. Now that I've seen that kind of change, this little thing...... What's it? Still want to pinch us? ”
Su Yuyin and Huo Qingling glanced at each other: "What does the third sister-in-law mean?" ”
"Just like the person they gave to the fourth brother last time, it's good to reward the officers and soldiers in the army." Wei Changying said lightly, "Someone wants to save us money, why be polite to them?" ”
"Wouldn't that make people think we're too jealous?" Huo Qingling pondered for a moment and said.
Wei Changying shook his head and said, "It's not a question of jealousy or not, it's their temptation!" If we are soft, I don't know how many similar things will be entangled in the future! It is necessary to let them know that we will not regress at all, and if someone wants to regress, they must retreat! ”
"This person is not enough to succeed and more than to lose. It's just the same race, and now it's only a small fight, and it's annoying to look at. Su Yu brushed his sideburns and frowned.
She and her husband Shen Zangji came to Xiliang first, and at the beginning, it was just like when Wei Changying came to Xiliang for the first time, because Shen Xuan, his wife and Shen Zhou were all in the imperial capital, and the people in the clan were also polite to them, no matter where they gave a few points.
At that time, Su Yuyin's only regret was that Xiliang was really bitter and cold, far less prosperous than the imperial capital, but there were no in-laws and concubines to be perfunctory, and the couple had a good life.
As a result, as soon as the imperial capital was surrounded, these people began to change their faces.
Later, Shen Xuan and the other three elders were gone-the clan did not hide their covetousness for the position of the lord of the valve!
This sudden change made Su Yuyin, who had been pampered since childhood, come back to his senses for several days!
The young Wufang couple suffered a lot in this accident, so Su Yuyin didn't say anything, and hated the Shen clan in his heart.
Her mood Wei Changying and Huo Qingling could understand, and they comforted her: "Just wait, it's impossible to let them go on like this forever." Besides, it's not us who are in charge now? ”
On this day, Wei Changying returned to his house and immediately ordered someone to send the Huang family to see him.
After hearing that someone in the clan had prepared a candidate for Shen Yongshi's concubine, the Huang family was a little surprised: "Madame hasn't heard of it yet, how did the fifth lady know first?" ”
"She has suffered a lot of hidden losses in the clan before, maybe it's because of this that she keeps a close eye on some people." Wei Changying frowned and said, "But I don't think it's that simple, auntie, you think that the time when the clan elders gave away to the fourth brother, they all suffered a loss, why didn't they learn this time?" What can be accomplished with just a few concubines? ”
Huang thought for a while and said, "What Madam said is that even if the fifth lady keeps an eye on it, now that we haven't been filial, those people shouldn't let such news leak out." I'm afraid that I deliberately let the fifth lady know. ”
"So what do they want to do?" Wei Changying rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Do you think that when such news comes out, we will be able to find someone for the second brother like them?" ”
"Now that there are three ladies working together, the old men in front have no worries and can plan the great cause wholeheartedly." Huang said softly, "But if two of the three ladies are gone, or if they are distracted by other things, that is their chance." ”
Wei Changying groaned: "Auntie is saying that this news is actually urging the fifth brother and sister and the sixth brother and sister to get pregnant after filial piety?" ”
"The servant told the truth, in fact, even if the clan didn't let such news come out, the people in front of the fifth lady and the sixth lady would persuade them like this. In the end, the two ladies have been passing through the door for a few years, but they have been empty on their knees, of course, this is related to filial piety. But after filial piety next year, how can the fifth and sixth ladies not hurry? Huang said, "At that time, the two ladies will be pregnant, and you, as a sister-in-law, will definitely let them go back to rest, so as not to be tired." ”
Wei Changying's face became solemn: "If the two younger siblings are pregnant, not only can they no longer help me take care of my family affairs, but they are also ...... I'm going to take care of them! ”
"Isn't it?" Huang said, "The eldest lady and the second lady are gone, you are now the eldest sister-in-law!" As soon as the fifth and sixth ladies are pregnant, you have to consider them everywhere and protect them. This October pregnancy, you have to worry from beginning to end - especially to prevent the villain from murdering the blood in the stomachs of the two ladies! Oh, in the middle of this, the fourth aunt is out of the cabinet, the second master continues to string, the eldest lady and the eldest son's lifelong events...... You're up to the business! And the fourth lady who is now raised in front of the sixth lady, you also have to bring it back and raise it yourself......"
After a pause, she added, "The most important thing is - madam, aren't you and the master at the right age?" In case you get pregnant again, Madame...... That ......"
"......" Wei Changying's face turned pale for a long time before she whispered, "Auntie must have medicine that temporarily makes people not have children...... We already have Guang'er and Xie'er, these few years...... That's it for now. ”
Huang said softly: "Madam, you are still young, and since you already have two sons, there is no need to be in a hurry to increase the heirs, and it is nothing to add a little son or a little miss two years later." What the servant is worried about is that if the fifth lady and the sixth lady can't get a man in one fell swoop, if they want to have another life in the future, won't the lady have to worry about this all the time? In this way, if there is a big incident in the clan, there will be only one lady in this backyard, I'm afraid it will be too busy! ”
No one can do anything about giving birth to a boy or a girl-Wei Changying frowned and said, "What does my aunt mean?" ”
"As soon as filial piety comes out, I will continue the strings for the second master." Huang said categorically, "I don't want the second lady to be smart, as long as she is virtuous enough, she can treat the fourth lady like an ordinary stepmother, and you can help the lady take care of the fifth lady and the sixth lady!" ”
