Chapter 343: Fox's Tail
Wen Xian's face turned pale, almost panicked: "What? No way? She's my aunt."
"How not?" Shiqin said earnestly, "Although you are the niece of the wife, you can't compare to the uncle is the biological son of the wife, how the wife treats the uncle, you are looking at it, for the sake of the uncle, the wife can turn her face with the master, so if she thinks you are not good enough, send one or two people to serve the uncle, what's so surprising?" She didn't want to divorce your daughter-in-law, but just to add someone to the uncle's house. Even if you go back to your parents' house, it's unreasonable. Whether it is the old lady, the eldest lady or the second wife in the family, they are not allowed to take concubines, and in the end, I am afraid that I will have to teach my grandmother a lesson, blaming you for not being virtuous enough."
Wen Xian was sad again, and choked up: "Who is not virtuous? Who is stopping the uncle from accepting the small? But less than half a year after I entered the door, my mother-in-law is going to reward people, this is clearly a slap in the face She is still my aunt, even my aunt doesn't care about me anymore, my mother's family is far away, and my father has no reputation, how can I gain a foothold in my mother-in-law's house in the future? It's better to die clean......"
Shiqin was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Why did grandma say this? Things haven't come to that point yet, the slave and maid have a way, and the wife and the people in the clan won't blame you for not being virtuous enough, and you can also stop the uncle from admitting those evil vixens into the room."
Wen Xian sniffed, a little listless: "What ideas can you have?" The previous ideas were all jokes, but don't bother me again this time. ”
Shiqin smiled reluctantly, thinking about the importance of his big things, and hurriedly said: "This time there will definitely be no mistakes, the slave maid is thinking about a fair and honest idea this time."
Wen Xian was skeptical: "Let's hear it?" ”
"Grandma, you think, the uncle was not in good health before he got married, he was sick and beaten, and he has been sick for more than a year......" Shi Qin said this, and she became embarrassed, because she saw Wen Xian's face showing a sad and crying expression again, and knew that she had accidentally stepped on the other party's sore spot with her words. Why was Liu Dongning sick and weak for many years before marriage? Isn't it just for Wen Hui?
Wen Xian was sad for a while, sighed, and said cowardly: "You just go on, I also know in my heart that it is the uncle's heart knot, I am afraid that it will not be good in this life, if it is not, how can he treat me, the wife that Ming Media is marrying back like this?" ”
Shi Qin's eyes rolled, and he continued: "Even before his illness, Uncle was only a weak scholar, and his wife felt sorry for her son, so naturally she would not watch him lose his recuperation." If you corrupt your body, won't it damage your longevity? For the good of the uncle, you must not let those fox spirits spoil the uncle's body, grandma can use this as a reason to persuade the wife not to add people to the uncle's house......"
Wen Xian's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed again, and shook her head and said: "No, your uncle is not a patient, but because of a previous illness, his body is weaker, and he sits and sleeps on weekdays like ordinary people." Why didn't the mother-in-law give him a concubine for this? Besides, even if there are more concubines in the room, it's nothing, as long as you pay attention to maintenance on weekdays. My father is also a weak scholar, so there are no two people in the house? My mother-in-law would not have agreed, but would blame me for cursing my husband with bad intentions because of jealousy. She could already imagine that scene.
Shiqin hurriedly said: "Of course, the slave's method will not be so simple for the sake of the uncle's body, and he can't accept too many concubines, so as to save the uncle's body, but on the bright side, he always has to put a pretense to come out, which is to show that the grandmother is virtuous, and he doesn't need the mother-in-law to talk to outsiders, so he consciously adds people to the uncle; Second, it is also to put reliable people in this position, so as not to let the villain with bad intentions occupy it, and block you at two ends in three days. With such a person, grandma persuaded his wife not to add people to the uncle, and she also had the confidence, right? You didn't stop it because you were jealous, but because you cared about your uncle's body."
Wen Xian was quite moved. In fact, when she got married, she brought four girls into the door, and she knew that sooner or later there would be such a day. Although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she really didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing this. Mother-in-law Liu Gu is so powerful and domineering, doesn't she also raise the big girl waiting next to her to be an aunt?
So she said: "The method you said is still possible, but the candidate needs to be considered." Before I left the cabinet, my grandmother specially instructed me, but after I entered the door, I encountered many unpleasant things one after another, and my father-in-law resigned. Even if someone mentioned it, I thought that your uncle would take Miaolu into the house sooner or later, but he was not busy adding new people. Now that you've said it, let's discuss the selection of individuals. ”
Shiqin suddenly came to his senses, and lowered his voice and said: "Grandma, Miaolu Jialu is married, there is no need to say it, among the others, none of the girls of the Liu family are intimate with grandma, if you want to choose someone, you still have to choose from the people brought by our family."
Wen Xian nodded: "This is right, isn't the girl who marries for this?" It's just that now ......" she bit her lip, "Abi's girl has already separated from me, and she has grandmother's support, I can't pinch her, and I can't make her happy."
"Of course," Shiqin said busily, "Abi is courteous in front of his wife and uncle every day, and before he opens his face, he doesn't take grandma in his eyes, if she gets face, won't she have to trample grandma on the soles of her feet more and more?" If you teach her a lesson, I am afraid that the old lady at home will not know the truth and complain about her grandmother. As for Qiushui, she was married a long time ago, and in order to prevent her from causing trouble, she was only allowed to work as an errand in the outer courtyard. ”
Wen Xian sighed: "That's it, since Qiushui is willing to be on an errand, let her go." As long as she doesn't block me for the second wife, I won't be as knowledgeable as a daughter-in-law. She pondered for a moment, "In this way, only Qiu Yan is available, she is a girl in the aunt's mother's house, but unfortunately she is younger, only fourteen this year, but she looks quite delicate, and she is honest, so it's just a matter of taking a name, I'm afraid that the uncle won't like it." She chose this person, and she felt a little relieved, anyway, Liu Dongning wouldn't like this girl, so what did it matter if she lifted it?
Shiqin was stunned: "Autumn geese? Grandma, do you really want to choose her? She is not honest, she is stupid and clever, and she often makes mistakes when she asks her to pass a word or take something. If it weren't for the chess match, you wouldn't have chosen her to do some rough work in order to pick up four wedding girls, and put her to wait next to the uncle, I'm afraid that you will be wronged by the uncle."
Wen Xian frowned: "I didn't know that she wasn't good enough?" But who else but her? Could it be true that you really want Abi to come out? ”
Shiqin was dumbfounded, she looked at Wen Xian, her eyes were eager, she didn't understand why the master couldn't see herself? But if she recommended herself, would she annoy Wen Xian? After hesitating for a moment, she still said vaguely: "Grandma, let's think about it again, this candidate is not only honest and reliable, but also able to please the uncle, otherwise, it will be put in the house for nothing, the uncle will ignore it, and the wife will still reward people."
Wen Xian's face sank: "Then according to your idea, who should you choose?" I have married so many people in total, Qiushui is married, Abi has a ghost in her heart, I don't choose Qiuyan, who else can I choose? It's you who said again, you can't pick people from the Liu family's girls."
Shiqin was stunned and looked at Wen Xian with a blank eye, but Wen Xian didn't seem to expect that she was also a personal choice, and she was still angry there: "I shouldn't believe that you are the one who made the idea before, there is nothing wrong with it, I see that for many years of master-servant relationship, I have never blamed you." Now you finally came up with a more reliable way, but you are dumb at a critical juncture, you are really disappointing me, why don't you get out of here quickly? ”
Shiqin was anxious and annoyed, and wanted to pull down her face to recommend herself, but she was afraid that Wen Xian was angry and would throw herself out in a rage, so she had to reluctantly leave the room.
As soon as she left, Wen Xian's face darkened, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she cried again.
Before getting married, grandmother Yu Lao Madam had repeatedly warned her that there was also a difference between intimacy and alienation in the marrying girl, if she wanted to choose a room for her husband, she should choose a girl with good appearance, honest temperament and a child, Abi and Qiu Yan were prepared for this, but they must not open the face of the cronies, the cronies of the big girl, is to marry the decent stewardship of the in-laws, and help her grasp the power of the family in the future, if such a girl is made an aunt, sooner or later it will become a disaster.
Because of this, Wen Xian didn't consider Shiqin at all when she chose the candidate for Aunt Tongfang, but she didn't expect that Shiqin had another idea......
Wen Yi didn't know about this little episode that happened in Wen Xian's room. She had almost packed her belongings and was just waiting for her journey. Liu Dongning went to meet a few childhood friends this day, and came back and asked: "I'm not at home these days, and I don't know what happened at home, how did I meet Brother Cheng of the fourth uncle's family today, he told me that Brother Ning is not doing his job these days, he gets drunk every day, and is scolded by the second uncle?" ”
Wen Yi said: "There is indeed this rumor, but I didn't see it, I still had the heart to ask, but the people in this house saw that I was going to ask, so they all shut up, I went to see the second aunt before dinner, and she also told me to take care of other people's affairs, and I didn't have the leisure to inquire." ”
Liu Dongxing frowned: "Although Brother Ning has no prospects, he was not so ridiculous in the past, but now what's wrong?" ”
Wen Yi said: "You also know what the clan's attitude towards the second uncle's family is now, naturally it is not as enthusiastic as before, presumably he is also uncomfortable?" I heard that the second uncle only asks Brother Jun about his homework now, and ignores Brother Ning, and his younger siblings have trouble one after another, how can this make him feel better? ”
Liu Dongxing sneered: "It's just a small matter the size of a sesame mung bean, and it's worth being so decadent for him?" The second uncle underestimated him, and the more he wanted to make some achievements, the second uncle was impressed, was he giving up on himself, or was he not a man? He was annoyed for a moment, so he got up and went out to the study to find Dongning. Wen Yi looked at his eager appearance, and felt a little happy in her heart.
If it was before, how could Liu Dongxing care about Liu Dongning's contention? It is precisely because he has let go of his past grievances that a little brotherhood has arisen from years of getting along that makes him so angry with Liu Dongning's decadence. This is a good thing, the eastbound is becoming more and more like an eldest brother.
Wen Yi thought to herself, there are a few young descendants in the Liu clan who are not badly qualified, and their character is also passable, depending on whether they want to learn from literature or martial arts, if they can help, they can also add some help to the eastward journey in the future.
Just when Wen Yi was pondering which child of the Liu clan was available, Liu Dongxing stood at the door of the study, his face gloomy with anger.
In the study, Liu Dongning was sleeping on the desk, full of alcohol, beside him, standing in disheveled clothes, blushing, tears, choked with grievances, his hands were not loose and tight, but the other end of the sweat towel was tightly dragged in Liu Dongning's hands.
