Chapter 348: Su Yu'an
Among the four brothers and sisters of the Su family, only Su Yu'an is a concubine, to be more precise, among the children, he is the only one who is a concubine.
His biological mother, Aunt Yang, was the dowry girl of Su Yi's original wife, Da Lu.
When Lu was pregnant, it was inconvenient to serve Su Yi, so he chose a delicate and honest girl from his dowry girl and sent it to Su Yi.
At that time, the old lady of the Su family, that is, Su Yi's mother, was still there, and after knowing about this, she praised the virtue of the Da Lu family, and forced Su Yi to accept the Yang family as a room.
Later, I slowly found out that this Yang family is indeed well-behaved and sensible, not fighting or grabbing, although he has not read any books, but the reason is transparent, filial piety to the old lady, serving Da Lu and him, very well-behaved.
After coming and going, Su Yi had pity, so he asked her to sleep.
Why do you say it's compassion?
Because in this era, if you are a wife and concubine but can't serve your husband, no matter what the internal reasons are, you will be regarded by others as you are not loved by your husband, and you will be ridiculed and criticized.
Therefore, Su Yi accepted the Yang family and promoted her as a good concubine after she went to bed, which was good for the Yang family.
Later, Da Lu's production was not smooth, and he died after giving birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, so before Cui's entered the door, there was only one concubine in the house.
For this, Xiao Lu, who was quite thoughtful about Su Yi back then, was not less difficult and mean to her.
However, Yang is indeed gentle and has always been tolerant and evasive.
Su Yi saw it in his eyes, but he felt a little more pity, and he gave birth to Su Yu'an after coming and going.
Although there is such a saying that a mother is more expensive than a son, the Yang family always knows in his heart that he was born in slavery, and he is already lucky to be released as a concubine of a large family.
His son is not a grandchild, he can grow up peacefully, just give her a pension, and don't ask for anything else.
And it was precisely because he saw that the Yang family was right-minded, so Su Yi did not separate his son-in-law and concubine like other high-ranking families, but treated everyone equally and took them with him.
Later, the Cui family entered the mansion, and the Yang family was still respectful and respectful.
Cui's is a good-natured scholarly lady, and seeing that Yang is stable and honest, they also get along very well.
Even so, Yang always told his son to respect his brother, love his sisters, and honor his father and mother.
The mother here refers to the Cui family, and the Yang family is a concubine, and she can only be called an aunt.
Yue Mo has completely inherited the Yang family's gentle temperament, and he has always been harmonious in the house, and he has never been treated differently, so Su Yu'an really has a good temperament.
He is not as good at reading as Su Yuhui, but he is definitely not too inferior, as can be seen from the fact that he was also within the top two on the list when he was in the scientific examination.
One of the brothers is at the top of the top two lists, and the other is almost at the bottom of the list.
This result is naturally not bad, and then he has an official body, and he entered the Hanlin Academy with his brother-in-law.
If you want to say that Su Yu'an has any shortcomings, it is probably that he is too conservative and introverted, he thinks everything well, and he is always afraid of offending people and does not dare to come forward.
At home, there was discord between Su Zhiyi and Su Junning, Su Yuhui dared to reprimand, but he never spoke, or persuaded peace when he opened his mouth, and outside, he always hid behind his father and eldest brother, and he didn't come forward if he could.
When I was a child, I remembered Aunt Yang's words, and I remembered that I couldn't be too presumptuous and steal the limelight from my brother-in-law, but then I slowly became accustomed to it, and I actually developed a reluctant to take responsibility, but a risky temperament.
When he was studying, he didn't show anything, but when he became an official, his shortcomings were revealed.
Su Yuhui was with him every day, and he was the first to discover this, so he began to train him intentionally or unintentionally.
The brothers have a good relationship, Su Yuhui never thought about saying that his younger brother is too good, and if he overpowers him, he will have no face or anything.
One glory and one loss, this is what Su Yi often teaches.
The environment always changes people.
Especially in a place as complex as officialdom.
Under the guidance of Su Yi and Su Yuhui, as well as the guidance of the predecessors in the officialdom, Su Yu'an's temperament was slowly broken.
Of course, the premise is that Su Yu'an does have the ability to do a good job, otherwise even if he dares to take responsibility, he won't be able to do it.
He has grown up, and he has slowly found his way.
Su Yuhui is more meticulous than him, and his work is more neat and crisp, which is suitable for taking the path of a professional official, going to the criminal department, the official department, and the household department, these places are very good, and he has a gentle temperament, loves to study classics, and is very good as a speech official and a minister.
It's kind of able to pick up half of my father's class.
When Su Yi asked the two brothers about their views on their respective futures, he said it frankly, and of course, he also received the support of his family.
The two brothers were able to support each other in the court.
The career is smooth, and then it is to start a family.
After looking at each other, the daughter of the martial family was decided.
The martial family's family is lower than the Su family, so Su Yu'an is considered to be Miss Wu's high family, but it is also a good match.
Especially Su Yu'an already has an official position, a good career, and a good appearance, so the marriage is set very smoothly.
After getting married, the relationship between the Wu family and Su Yu'an is also very good, but it is not as intimate as Su Yuhui and the Fang family.
For example, when the couple rarely holds hands or hugs, although they are familiar with each other and have each other in their hearts, they just don't have any warm feelings.
The four words about respect and respect are the most appropriate to describe the couple of them.
The reason for this phenomenon should be that both of them are a little gentle and introverted.
Needless to say, Su Yu'an, the Wu family, was taught by his family.
The martial family is actually a bit patriarchal, because the Wu family is a concubine, and she will have to marry someone to be the housewife in the future, so she has a serious upbringing.
But serious upbringing here refers to things such as women's training, housework, and husbands and children.
Therefore, Wu is indeed a qualified and capable person who is good at managing the inner house, but in terms of poetry and songs, music and silk bamboo, he does belong to the usual category.
Su Yu'an is a man, and it is okay to discuss some poems, books, piano and chess with his wife, but the Wu family is not quite worthy of his level, so he can only say a few words to him about the trivialities of the family.
This comes and goes, there is no topic, and there is no intimacy, so there is only respect for each other.
But fortunately, by the standards of this era, Wu is a very qualified wife, and she never resents because of these things, but thinks that it is good to be like this with Su Yu'an.
Although they can't help but envy the way their brother and sister-in-law get along, the couple has no other thoughts.
And the Wu clan has one thing that makes the Fang clan envious, she is really an heir, and her fate is very good.
She gave birth to her eldest son the year after she got married, and she became pregnant again a year and a half later and gave birth to a daughter.
Lang Zhong said that it was too dense and not good for the body, so Su Yu'an specially called for medicine to nourish her body and use it for contraception.
But after drinking the medicine for three years, as soon as it stopped, she became pregnant again and gave birth to her second son.
Although later, Fang's gave birth to two sons, and they caught up with each other.
But I have to admit that when the Wu clan was born one after another, the Fang clan was envious.
To say that this is also a division of physique, division of people.
Wu gave birth to her last child when she was forty-two years old, a little daughter, and if you count it, there are three sons and two daughters between her and Su Yu'an.
Although it has never been vigorous in his life, it can be regarded as a lifetime of hand in hand with harmony.
Of course, there are hiccups in this.
When Wu was thirty-five years old, she was pregnant with her fourth child, and because Su Yuhui did not take a concubine, Su Yu'an did not think about it.
At that time, Wu was just pregnant, but he was promoted to the rank of official, so some people congratulated him, so he often drank and returned late.
Because it was inconvenient to go to the main courtyard to disturb, I rested in the study.
Unexpectedly, it was such a period of time, and he was taken advantage of by a little maid who had just entered the house in the front yard.
Su Yu'an returned late after drinking, and the maid bought the janitor in the study, came to serve, and climbed onto Su Yu'an's bed.
In just one night, Su Yu'an woke up and found himself furious.
After all, it is extremely shameful for this maid to climb the bed in a decent person's house.
However, thinking that Wu was pregnant, it was not good to make a big move, which disturbed her, so Su Yu'an directly fed the maid with shunzi soup, rushed to a remote place to be on an errand, and tidied up the front yard.
But I didn't expect that the maid had a lot of eyes, so she secretly buckled her throat and eyes, spit out the medicine, and then waited silently for two months, and after confirming that she was pregnant, she went directly to Wu's face.
Although the Wu family has a good temperament, she has been pampered for many years and is now pregnant, and she has a strong sense of rules, so she is still angry.
Especially the maid didn't say it well, but cried when she came up, and after listening to the process, Wu Shi had abdominal pain, and the house was so frightened that he hurriedly invited Langzhong.
After Su Yu'an came back, he was called by Su Yi and Cui's to give a lecture, and later the maid was not left in the house after all, but was sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.
It's not that the Su family is not allowed to have concubines, but they need concubines to abide by the rules, but this maid is not at a glance, so it is bound to not be such a bane.
After this incident, Su Yu'an and the Wu family became closer to each other.
Then the maid gave birth to a daughter.
When the Wu family found out, they sent someone to take the concubine back and raise her under his knees.
Who knew that the maid was unrelenting, and wanted to go back to the house to be an aunt and make trouble in the Zhuangzi.
The clay man also has a three-point temperament, after the Wu family asked Su Yu'an, he spoke directly, and asked the maid to be an errand in the Zhuangzi, and the fifth lady in the second room of the Su family has nothing to do with the maid.
Later, after Su Yi and Cui's passed away, Su Yu'an and Wu both thought that they couldn't live on their brother for the rest of their lives, anyway, Su Yu'an also had an official residence given by the imperial court, so they discussed moving out.
is completely in charge of his own house, and the Wu family is more comfortable living than when he was in the boudoir.
and Su Yu'an, their children are around their knees, and they have respected each other for a lifetime.
If you want to say that there is no love between the two at all, it is not necessarily, it may be that they are not good at expressing it, and they hide it too deeply.
In his later years, Wu's health was weaker and he was always sick on the sickbed, and although Su Yu'an didn't talk much, he accompanied him every day.
Later, the Wu family passed away first, Su Yu'an closed the door, and guarded his wife's body in the room alone, crying silently for a long time.
Maybe they were reluctant to each other, a year after Wu's death, Su Yu'an's health was not good, and he followed two years later.
People are always different, either vigorous or plain, but there is a real friendship.
