Chapter 52
"Fifth sister, didn't you say that the fifth brother-in-law was about to be released? You're pregnant, how can you go far away? β
On this day, several daughters of the Sheng family gathered at Minglan house, because after two and a half years, Minglan finally became pregnant, which was quite a happy event for the Sheng family, so, except for the lady Wang who had left the capital with Sheng Hong, all the female dependents of the Sheng family came, eh, of course, excluding Mo Lan.
In fact, it's not that they isolate Mo Lan, it's that Mo Lan is now lacking in skills, in the early years, the family let her get a bunch of concubines to have sex with, and now several of them are pregnant, but she herself, after experiencing a miscarriage, has never been pregnant again.
Now, in order to maintain her virtuous personality, she is busy every day, and her mood is estimated to be not very beautiful.
Moreover, the old man of the Liang family has only passed away not long ago, and he can't go out often.
Therefore, when she first sent letters to various families, Minglan simply handed her a message, and later Sister Hualan organized a visit, and everyone tacitly chose to forget her.
After all, everyone present now is not very compatible with Mo Lan. At this time, Mo Lan's sister-in-law (Changfeng's daughter-in-law) had not yet passed the door, so no one here thought about her.
At this time, there were the grandmothers of the Sheng family, Minglan and Hua Lan sitting in the house, the eldest sister-in-law Hai, Rulan, and Hua Lan's daughter, and Rulan's eldest daughter. A room full of Sheng family daughters, Zhang Wenhao didn't look like a person staying here, so after saying hello, he returned to the front yard.
Minglan looked at Rulan sitting there with a big belly, thinking of what Zhang Wenhao said to herself yesterday, Wen Yanjing had already found an errand to be released.
But these five sisters are pregnant, how can they travel far?
Could it be that the fifth sister wants to stay? But it won't? The fifth sister has always been at odds with her mother-in-law, and the fifth brother-in-law also knows that in normal times, she will not let the fifth sister have more contact with her mother, and the family is afraid that the two will quarrel if they disagree.
I only heard Rulan say: "It's okay, I'm still early from the day of production!" Besides, most of the time we took the waterway along the way, and it wasn't that bumpy! β
At this time, Hua Lan smiled and said to Minglan : "You don't have to worry about her, she is very happy now." β
When Minglan heard this, she looked at Hua Lan with interest.
"Originally, her mother-in-law wanted to leave Rulan behind and bring a few girls to serve the fifth brother-in-law, but before Ru'er could say anything, the fifth brother-in-law was reluctant first, saying that if Rulan's mother and daughter didn't follow him, he wouldn't go."
"In the end, there was no way, her mother-in-law could only agree!"
Minglan didn't expect that Wen Yanjing would be able to do this for Rulan, and he was really impressed by him.
Rulan sat there triumphantly, Minglan thought about it, and still said more: "Fifth sister, although you don't have to stay because of the fifth brother-in-law, but you must be too proud, so even if the fifth brother-in-law doesn't say it, it will definitely be uncomfortable in your heart." β
Rulan said loudly: "Don't worry, Sixth Sister, I'm not as smart as you, but I'm not stupid, since I'm affordable, of course I know the truth that it's too much." β
"My goal has been achieved, so I don't mind giving my mother-in-law some dignity during this period of time, when I can hide, I try to hide, I can't hide, I let her be finished, anyway, it's not a few days!"
When Minglan saw Rulan say this, she knew that after leaving the wings of Mrs. Wang, the fifth sister had grown a lot after several years of married life, and she was no longer the rampant nature she had before.
At this time, Minglan was very complicated, because in her early life, although Rulan had a bad temper and sometimes bullied herself, it was all between children.
However, it is precisely because she is not happy that she will be so happy when she sees Rulan's vivid appearance, and even once she regarded Rulan as salvation, after all, at that time, her future road was already visible to the naked eye.
is not from a high background, and is a concubine, and is not valued at home, and even has to beware of other people's secret arrows at all times, and the future marriage will not be much better.
However, looking at Rulan's appearance now, she didn't know for a while whether she should be happy for Rulan's maturity, or should she regret that the innocent and lovely little Rulan in the past was no longer there.
The grandmother of the Sheng family sat on the top, watching the juniors talk with a smile, and saw Minglan 's expression, her understanding of Minglan has some aspects, even better than Minglan herself, and after thinking about it at the moment, she knows what it is for.
But the old lady remained silent, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Ru'er, I don't know where my uncle is working?" β
When Rulan heard this, she became even more proud, and said with a smile: "It's Quanzhou!" β
"Huh? Quanzhou, that's not? β
Minglan opened her mouth in surprise.
Hua Lan on the side said with a smile: "Yes, it's where my father led us to live back then." β
Said that this looked at Rulan.
"This fifth brother-in-law of our family really has nothing to say about the fifth brother-in-law. According to your eldest brother-in-law, he came back and said. β
"Originally, there are many places to choose from in their batch, and there are many places that are better than Quanzhou."
"But our fifth brother-in-law once heard the fifth sister say that he lived in Quanzhou when he was a child and missed it very much, so he gave up other better places and resolutely chose Quanzhou!"
Hua Lan's words made Rulan a little embarrassed, both proud and shy.
Hai sat on the side, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who would have thought that the fifth sister, who was the most inconspicuous in the family in the past, would be quite happy after marrying so low.
Minglan couldn't help but think in her heart, Quanzhou, what a good place it is.
The air is warm and humid, there are sparkling ponds everywhere, the sky is light blue and clear, the fish and rice are fragrant, and the children's songs are leisurely. But thenγγγγγγ
Hua Lan was stunned when she saw Minglan at first, but suddenly thought, ah, the sixth sister's little mother passed away there, this is γγγγγ
Before Hua Lan could figure out how to divert the topic, she saw the little maid next to her sixth brother-in-law coming over, and then said outside the hall: "Big lady, there is a mother-in-law outside the door, saying that it is from your mother's fourth sister's house, come and invite the eldest lady to lie down in Liang's house." It seems that the eldest grandmother of the Liang family is Zhang Luo who wants to split up. β
Yes?
The ladies in the house were talking happily and happily, and suddenly came out. They were all stunned.
As the master, Minglan said: "Does the lord know?" β
No matter how you say it, the Liang family is also a veteran lord family in Beijing, and the Zhang family can have some kinship around the corner, but now there is a connection with the Sheng family, and now the head of the Liang family is gone, and there is no one who can stand, so he came to the door, and he wanted to come to Zhang Wenhao.
Qingyu replied: "Back to the eldest lady, the lord has already gone first, guessing that the ladies of the in-laws are also there, and I want to come to the Liang family to inform the families, so I specially told me to arrange the carriage and horses, and take the ladies over." β
"Alright, you go and arrange it!"
Seeing Qingyu go down, Minglan looked at everyone: "Come on, it just so happens that we are all together today, let's go together!" β
At this time, the old lady said to Hai's, Hua Lan and Rulan: "You guys go, I won't go, the child will stay here, I'll watch!" β
Originally, the three of them were still worried about what to do with their children, the children were still young, and they were not very willing to take them to such an occasion, after all, they were not real relatives.
Hua Lan and Hai didn't say much, but Rulan muttered: "She has something at home, what do you want us to do, she usually never contacts, and when something happens, she thinks of us!" β
"Ru'er, shut up!"
Hua Lan hurriedly opened her mouth to stop Rulan, and she continued to speak freely and said some unpleasant things.
Rulan is still more afraid of Hua Lan's big sister, so she won't say anything about writing at the moment.
Although the others didn't say it, they actually agreed with Rulan's words in their hearts, and indeed, they basically never had any contact with Mo Lan.
Now that there is something to do, I have found them, and I am naturally reluctant in my heart, but a few of them are not as straightforward as Rulan.
Several people sat in the carriage of the Zhang family and rushed to the Liang Mansion.
In fact, they didn't want to go, but the sisters had already reached a consensus without saying anything.
If the brothers and sisters are all smooth sailing, only the Mo Lan family is having a hard and miserable life, they can't stand by and watch, it's just as troublesome. To sum up, it is better for the Mo Lan couple not to separate themselves and continue to live in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Hua Lan and Hai said okay, the long and short trivial matters next to them are all brought forward, Minglan came to this trip today, it can be regarded as a pressure array, as for Rulan, just stay honest.
My sister-in-law and several people rode in the same carriage, and Minglan asked about the recent situation of the Liang family, "I'm also surprised, now that Master Liang has only finished seventy-seven, why is Grandma Liang blatantly begging to split up?" β
In ancient times, it was not a decent thing to divide the family, if it wasn't for the parents to speak, and the elders to take care of it, most of them would have to gossip.
Gu Xuan
Hai sighed, she was the most inescapable, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were not there, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she had to work hard, only to listen to her: "The sixth sister is an honest person, how can I think of those mean tricks." Since the death of Master Liang, the two of them began to be uneven, and then the uncle of the Liang family went to Xuanfu, which stopped for a while, but at the will of the lord, Grandma Liang made a fuss again, and it became more and more serious. β
Hua Lan sneered: "This scheming is not difficult to guess. However, looking at the fact that Master Liang did not have a son, he thought about it, and wanted to make some contributions in front of him, so as to compete for this title. Now that there is no hope, I want to split up. β
Hai said tiredly: "I think that's what it means. The eldest grandmother will not explicitly say that she wants to split up, but she beckons cats and dogs, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. Today, she accused Liang's second grandmother of deducting her share, and Ming'er said that her mother-in-law was biased and bullied her all over the house. One is not good, it is a wail and crying, or else you will find relatives to shout grievances, you will die or live at every turn, and you will not be able to live and close, 'I can't go on'. Even the fourth sister was stunned, saying that she was mean to her cousin, what Aunt Chunge. β
Hua Lan was bored of listening, "Mrs. Liang can't open her eyes and close her eyes?" What do you have to do with such a villain? β
Minglan shook her head and said, "Aunt Liang is arrogant, how can she bear this anger." β
"Then come up with some mother-in-law's means, don't let people be bullied as soft persimmons!" Hua Lan pounded the wall of the carriage, and wrapped it in a thick brocade cotton wool, silently.
Hai said: "The eldest sister doesn't know, in the past few years, the uncle of the Liang family has been proud, and no one will take a look at it." After ascending the throne today, Master Liang was still reprimanded. β
"Uncle Biliang is capable, I don't know which way to go, but he has won the appreciation of Lord Fan, the chief soldier of Xuanda, and he is still on the rise. People outside say that the old Marquis Liang can be reinstated, but he is still stained with light. People in the world see the wind turning the rudder, this time the family broke up, and many of the Liang family stood on the grandmother's side, which made Aunt Liang angry half to death! β
Hearing this, the two sisters sighed, and Minglan was all sad: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, and you have to be able to do it." β
Hua Lan thought of herself, her brows were deeply locked, and she said in a low voice, 'Raising tigers is a problem'; it is no wonder that mothers in the world always guard against concubines, and some of them have to be careful to raise waste, which shows that there are some truths, and there are good examples in front of them.
Minglan glanced at her and said softly: "The Liang family is like this, it's rare to see it anywhere, sister, don't take it to heart." β
I don't know if Hua Lan listened to it, so she only nodded.
ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½
When they arrived at the Liang family, they had their own descendants of the Liang family to guide them.
Qingyu stood next to the carriage and said to Minglan: "Big lady, go in, I'll go find the lord." β
After speaking, he saw Minglan nodding and left directly.
A few people came to the backyard of the Liang family, and there were already many people here at this time. I think they are all relatives and friends of the Liang family.
Mrs. Liang saw Minglan and the others, and hurriedly greeted her.
"Oh, look at it, why did you call a few of you?"
After looking around, I paid attention to Rulan and Minglan 's stomachs, Minglan 's belly had just been revealed, not particularly obvious, but Rulan's belly was already quite large.
"Look, you two sisters are still pregnant."
Minglan held her belly and smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's been stable in the past few months." Aunt has something, we are juniors, we have to come and see. β
After the greeting, everyone sat down.
Grandma Liang is about ten years old, petite and thin, with a middle-to-upper appearance, she glanced at Minglan people vigilantly, shook off the handkerchief, and continued the topic of suitable talents - complaining bitterly about how difficult it was to live under Mrs. Liang.
This woman complains skillfully, meticulously detailed, and can volatilize even the slightest big thing, a cup of tea is slow, a bowl of soup is cold, a word, a look, can be respected and decent.
Grandma Liang cried for two teas, and finally turned to the topic, saying, 'You have hurt the feelings of the people in Dafang, and you intend to subvert our peaceful life, and you can't go on like this anymore'.
Mrs. Liang was already angry, and sneered: "If you want to split up, just say it, will I stop you!" β
Who knew that Grandma Liang didn't take over the conversation, continued to cry and wipe her tears, nagging 'The tree is branched, and the family is not a bad thing, and the love of the brothers is constantly cut, even if everyone lives away, they often come and go, and they are still generally good', and they go around in circles to say how to help the two younger brothers.
Mrs. Liang trembled angrily, "You have to go, it's okay to walk by yourself; Why do you have to spare the elder and the fourth, I can't say it a long time ago, and you still refuse to give up?! β
Grandma Liang immediately stopped crying, and said with her eyebrows upside down: "Since we want to divide the family, naturally we will divide them all, how can there be a reason to leave two and go one." Now it's all done. β
Minglan brushed her intestines several times before she realized that the Liang family's big house not only had to be separated, but also the first two younger brothers were also separated? ! She turned her head and saw that Hua Lan was also looking at herself, looking at each other suspiciously.
Liang's second grandmother's sister-in-law couldn't sit still, and Si Si said: "The eldest grandmother wants to divide the family, and the two younger ones don't want to separate, so why bother to make it difficult for others, each of them can take care of their own affairs." "She was born in the southern Zhejiang Wang family, her father, grandfather and brother were officials, regardless of her husband's family, they are all modest and introspective, how have I ever seen such a scoundrel.
Grandma Liang's face changed a few times, and she slowed down and said with a forced smile: "My in-laws' words are wrong. There are no brothers to distinguish, only we are gone, doesn't it seem that we are unfilial. β
Minglan finally couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Grandma Liang is really thoughtful, but people obviously don't want to, why do you want to divide the family for you?" β
Minglan joked: "Isn't the right grandmother to keep saying that her mother-in-law is not good?" It's all so blatant mean grandma, not to mention 'pointing fingers'?! "It's not a matter of raising the bar, it's a matter of logic.
Grandma Liang immediately stopped talking, the surrounding ladies sneered softly, Mrs. Liang loosened her tightly locked brows, and smiled shallowly like melting snow, Grandma Liang turned her head to look at Liu's gratefully, and grandma also secretly raised her eyes to look at Minglan , but Mo Lan had a complicated expression, looked at everyone for a while, and looked out of the window in a daze.
Minglan added another sentence, "Besides, if you are filial or not, everyone has eyes." The old man has passed away in less than a day, even if there is a big grievance, he should endure it, but some people are making trouble to break up, hehe. β
Grandma Liang gritted her teeth, knowing that what she said was reasonable, if she wasn't afraid of bad reviews, she would have made more trouble.
Seeing this, Hua Lan laughed loudly: "Isn't this done." Aunt Liang has spoken, and if she wants to spend a small day at home, she will divide it; If you don't want to be separated, you stay. Although the brothers are close, they go their own way, and everyone is good to get together and disperse. β
After a pause, she withdrew her smile and said coldly, "No one is afraid of making trouble, but looking forward to family harmony with their faces." I persuaded the grandmother to accept it when she saw it. β
Grandma Liang had a calm face and didn't say a word, and a woman next to her came out and said with a smile: "It's all my own family, I'm in a hurry, look at this twist, in fact, the eldest grandmother doesn't have any other thoughts, but the children are older, and they have to be divided." β
She giggled and said, "...... If the family is divided, how is the wife going to divide it? β
Mrs. Liang stared at her and said word by word: "I can't see it when the splendid is prosperous, and the lord likes it too." But once there is something, you are vain as the eldest sister-in-law, but you refuse to pick the slightest burden. It doesn't matter if the flood at home is monstrous, or if your parents and brothers are in trouble, as long as you are good, you don't care about anything else! When the lord understood this, he took the property and told me to divide it equally. β
When Mrs. Liang saw that things were not good, she immediately cried sadly, stomped her feet and beat her chest: "The second brother has a good life, he reads books and appreciates flowers in the town, he is leisurely, and he has the title of his ancestors to inherit." The fourth brother is also comfortable at home, and there is his eldest brother outside, and no one dares to underestimate it......"
She cried sadly, stomped her feet and beat her chest and said: "The second brother has a good life, he reads books and appreciates flowers in the town, he is leisurely, and he has the title of his ancestors to inherit." The fourth brother is also comfortable at home, and there is his eldest brother outside, and no one dares to underestimate it......"
She cried sadly, stomped her feet and beat her chest and said: "The second brother has a good life, he reads books and appreciates flowers in the town, he is leisurely, and he has the title of his ancestors to inherit." The fourth brother is also comfortable at home, and there is his eldest brother outside, and no one dares to underestimate it......"
As soon as her heart turned, as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Minglan looking at her with a smile, and she suddenly shrank her neck.
This is not a good stubble, and it cannot be provoked.
ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½
When Minglan saw that things had come to this point, she also felt bored and didn't want to participate more.
So he stood up.
When the others saw Minglan standing up, they all looked at her.
Minglan glanced at the people in the room, then surrendered her gaze to the grandmother of the Liang family, and said: "The people present today are more or less related to some relatives, we all know each other in our hearts, what do you think, and we all know that this is not your attention." β
Hearing this, the face of the eldest grandmother of the Liang family changed directly.
I heard Minglan continue: "I advise you to accept it when you see it, since you want to split the family, and your aunt also agrees to divide you, don't make trouble, otherwise if you make trouble, everyone's face will not look good." β
After speaking, he said to Mrs. Liang: "Auntie, my body is a little uncomfortable, so I will leave first." β
When Mrs. Liang heard this, she hurriedly helped Minglan out.
The rest of the Sheng family also stood up and was about to leave, after all, they came together, and Minglan had basically given things a given thing by what she said.
If you want to divide the family, you Uncle Liang can divide the room by himself.
No one dares to underestimate Minglan , after all, this is the daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, and the husband is powerful, and he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty today.
Because of Minglan 's participation, the curtain basically came to an end, and it was not interesting to stay any longer, so they left one after another.
Only the eldest lady of the Liang family was left standing there alone, not embarrassed or embarrassedγγγγγγγγγ
