Chapter 56: The Family Is Neat and Tidy
Xiao Duan didn't speak for a long time, even if her heart turned a thousand times.
In this silence, as if in her mind, she looked back on her life.
The Duan family is a prestigious family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reading atmosphere at home is heavy, some people are inspirational to follow their careers, and some people are dedicated to learning.
She also spent her early childhood in school.
The elders and young are respectful and humble, and the etiquette is regular, and those characters who are now called "too faceful" by Yun Yan are also naturally cultivated under the teaching of the boudoir month after month.
As she just said to the two grandmothers, her sister Daduan is the same.
The tutor is like this, and none of the sisters have gone astray.
She has a good relationship with the Da Duan clan.
My sister married into Beijing and became Mrs. Bo, and the sisters often exchanged letters until the bad news came that year.
Da Duan died.
Whether it is the elders of the clan or the Bofu, they can't rest assured that the young Lin Yu will hit it off, and then marry another lady from the Duan family.
Xiao Duan was picked.
"I chose you because you have a deep sisterhood, and we don't worry about handing over our grandchildren to other women to raise."
"You always have to remember that you are a house-filler and a stepmother, and you can't cross Ah Yu when you give birth to a son in the future, and you will be in an orderly manner."
"If you have the slightest intention of teaching Ah Yu badly and making him unqualified to inherit the title, and you have failed the family's teaching to you for many years, then you are not worthy of being the daughter of the Duan family."
"Don't say anything that is not good to teach, children are all blank papers, and what you teach depends on how much heart you use."
"You have to fight for it, don't end up making a few sons fight for the family business, that's too embarrassing."
After getting married, Xiao Duan visited his mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law speaks with great heart.
"Women, they are all for their children, and they want to give the best to their own children, human nature, and I am the same."
"Ah Yu is still young, so I don't dare to pick other girls to raise her, I believe in the family style of the Duan family, I will hand over Ah Yu to you, I believe that even if you are partial to your own son, you will not treat Ah Yu and Ah Yu badly."
"It's not easy to be a stepmother, but sincerity must be able to change sincerity."
After that, for decades, Xiao Duan did it very carefully.
Every word of the elders, she remembers it firmly, abides by her duties and does her best.
Lin Yu is very good, good at writing and ink, writing good articles, and also showing his edge in the court, among the children of the younger generation, he does not dare to be the first, and he can count it with one hand.
Xiao Duan discussed with her husband and asked Lin Yu to marry Shen Yun.
It's a good family business.
After more than ten years of hard work, the outstanding Lin Yu, the excellent marriage, and the equally upright concubine Lin Xi, Xiao Duan handed over an excellent answer sheet.
That's when she's at her best everywhere.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances.
Lin Yu did not continue the strings, and chose to keep a certain distance from the government, and after the old uncle passed away, the sound of the dove occupying the magpie's nest came into Xiao Duan's ears little by little.
The facts are here, she can't defend herself, even if she always hopes that Lin Yu can remarry and be able to display her ambitions in the court.
Even, she couldn't even find an old sister who could speak her heart.
No matter how true she is, it falls on other people's ears......
If you don't believe her, scold her for pretending, there are "selfless" good people in the world? It's really a good thing to be good and good.
Those who believe her have to smack her for "hypocrisy".
She knew it all in her heart, but she was trapped in this little corner and couldn't get out.
Now, it was Yun Yan's words that broke the wall blocking her for her, and it was superimposed on her mother-in-law's earnest teachings that year.
"We all have eyes and hearts."
"Sincerity must be exchanged for sincerity."
No matter what others say, she Xiao Duan really has a clear conscience.
The tears in his mouth finally overflowed the corners of his eyes, and Xiao Duan raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously: "Tell Yun Yan to see the joke." ”
Lin Yunyan didn't laugh, she told Xiao Duan nonsense.
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest, and we have to wait until the day when Yunding inherits the knight," Lin Yunyan pursed her lower lip, "In case before that, we become the chicken that kills chickens and monkeys, the title is gone, the nest is gone, the family is neat, and we can stay where it doesn't rain." ”
Xiao Duan: ......
What emotions have been turned around thousands of times have been stirred up in an instant.
I have to say that the words of smashing the wall were immediately effective than Yun Yan's words, which shocked Xiao Duan's dumbfounded.
After a long time, her lips moved: "That's really ...... Great holiday, you child...... The old woman's heart beats ...... Ay! ”
She said that she didn't go well, and no matter how she said it, it was terrible.
How can anyone curse their own family like this?
Lin Yunyan gently patted Xiao Duan's back: "Look, with such a comparison, it's a good thing to be able to occupy the magpie's nest, right?" ”
Xiao Duan's laughter: "I really can't talk about you." ”
Yun Yan speaks, not martial arts.
A set of chaotic fists, no master can withstand it.
However, listening to what she said, Xiao Duan's family was really much more relaxed.
When the full moon was in the sky, a family banquet was set up in the flower hall.
The juniors toasted each other, and the atmosphere at the banquet was relaxed.
Sitting at the same table, the three concubines of the Chen family were talking about things in Beijing, and the three Yun Yan sisters were muttering together, and they didn't know what they were talking about, so they couldn't take care of the chopsticks.
Look at the table next door, the three sons are eating wine, and Yunding and Yunfeng are talking about their homework.
Through the open window, I looked out again.
There were also three tables in the courtyard, and decent maids and women were on the table, joking and laughing.
Come to think of it, the banquet for the stewards in the front yard is also lively.
Suddenly, Xiao Duan squinted his eyes and smiled.
Yun Yan was right.
Whether your own family is good or not, you know best.
If it weren't for the harmony of relatives and kindness, how could it be such a picture?
Of course, everyone has their own thoughts, and there are also people around her who "sincerely change their hearts" like Qingyan, but they are generally good.
A cup of warm wine was in his stomach, and Xiao Duan's drank a little too much.
Chen saw it in his eyes and persuaded: "Drink in moderation, you often say." ”
"Yes," Xiao Duan said with a smile, "I'm happy today." ”
Chen looked at his mother-in-law for a long time.
Okay......
I heard that before inviting An, the pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Yunyang Bofu's tricks, Xiao Duan's used the most upright way, and they didn't miss all the tricks in return.
In front of the public, such a powerful move is not allowed to make my mother-in-law happy.
Anyway, when he came back that day outside the Xu Guogong Mansion, he was very happy to come back.
Xiao Duan's ate the wine, and rested after returning to Zaishou Temple.
This night, she slept soundly and soundly.
In Bao'an Garden, Lin Yunyan didn't sleep, boiled hot water, and she made a pot of tea.
She was waiting for Lin Yu.
In the early years, it was the residence of his parents, and after the death of his mother, his father moved to the front study, and only Lin Yunyan lived.
As she grew up, her father came to Bao'an Garden less and less, and if there was anything, she would go to the front to say.
Every year, there is only the Mid-Autumn Festival and the mother's jealousy, and the father will definitely come.
He sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and recalled the small things of his mother with Lin Yunyan.
The fragrance of tea overflowed, and Mama Ma called her: "County Lord, Uncle is here." ”
Grandmother made a small step of progress every day, and finally a big step.
