Chapter 142: Steward

Old Madam Wu didn't believe Qiao Wei's words at all, "You have always been sharp-toothed, and most of the people in this mansion have been enveloped by you, even Zhongmou is also obedient to you, so naturally what you say is what you say." ”

Qiao Wei felt innocent, she didn't come today to have a verbal dispute with Old Madam Wu, "When Mother says this, is she questioning Zhongmou's decision?" Zhongmou has been raised under his mother's knees since he was a child, and he doesn't need to be justified by his son-in-law. Is he the kind of man who is at the mercy of men? ”

If a man is so easily manipulated by others, it only proves that he really can't do anything big. Then the Sun family is undefeated now and will be defeated in the future.

What's more, Sun Ce will choose Sun Quan, isn't it also because he has his own city government and will not be easily swayed by others!

"You won't be easily manipulated by others, but your methods and scheming are really good." Old Madam Wu didn't even look at Qiao Wei.

Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have not completely separated the winners and losers in the north, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven and occupied the people, and the Yuan family won popularity according to the time. The fourth brother already has a marriage alliance with Cao Cao, but if Yuan Shao wins in the future and goes south to attack Jiangdong, can my mother have a good way to deal with it? ”

Old Madam Wu naturally didn't have it, she was a lady, and she still had means in the inner house, but when these means were taken into major national affairs, they seemed to be somewhat inadequate.

"Now that the Sun family is sticking to Jiangdong to see success or failure, since they have a good alliance with Cao Cao, they should not make enemies with Yuan Shao." Qiao Wei said to Mrs. Wu, "Sister-in-law Yuan's support for the main room is definitely not about the inner curtain of the Sun family, marriage is a good marriage with two surnames, and Sister-in-law Yuan is not only meritorious with the inner curtain, but also helpful with Jiangdong." ”

It is impossible for Mrs. Wu not to understand such a truth.

"You will talk about those high-sounding truths, presumably Zhongmou was led by your nose like this!"

Good guy, after talking about it for a long time, I still don't understand the point of this matter, and I think that Qiao Wei is harboring evil intentions.

Okay...... Qiao Wei didn't want to explain anymore, "In fact, even if the daughter-in-law is really selfish, the grandmother doesn't have to be so guarded everywhere, since the daughter-in-law has married into the Sun family, she naturally has the same mind as the grandmother, and she hopes that the Sun family can be better." ”

At this point, Mrs. Wu never doubted Qiao Wei.

But she was dissatisfied with Qiao Wei's assertiveness and unruliness.

Suddenly, Mrs. Wu's words changed, "Speaking of which, I thought of it, the four sons of the Sun family, and the wives hired by them are all famous families, but Qiao's background is really poor."

As you said, marriage is an alliance between two surnames, behind the Yuan family is the Runan Yuan family, behind the Xu family is the old department of the Sun family, and the Cao family is also an alliance with the Cao family behind him, all of which are helpful to my Sun family.

Only your family background is useless, and you can't win people's hearts for Zhongmou, nor can you win the alliance for Jiangdong. ”

Qiao Wei glanced at Xie Chunfu, who was sitting on the side, and understood in his heart what Old Madam Wu meant by saying these words.

Sure enough, Old Madam Wu directly pointed out her purpose in the next sentence, "In the past, Zhongmou was just a general in Jiangdong, he protected you, and I can also tolerate your humble family background." But now that he is in charge of Jiangdong, he must have the support of the family behind him.

Invite yourself to be a concubine! ”

came to this trick again, Qiao Wei's face slowly turned cold, and he was ready to slap her in the face unabashedly.

Qiao Wei was about to speak, when he heard a voice behind him, "Grandma's words have already been rejected at the beginning, so why should Grandma ask again." ”

Qiao Wei turned around and saw Sun Quan walking in from outside the house, and saluted Mrs. Wu with firm steps, "Mother is still sick, and worrying so much is not conducive to her health. In fact, the things at home are all trivial compared to my mother's illness.

Yuan's sister-in-law has a moderate temperament, and the whole Sun Mansion is also obvious to all, if the mother thinks that she is not stable enough, she can also ask the aunt to help a little more. Everything in the family still has to focus on the jade body of the mother. ”

Sun Quan said this, and he also hoped that Mrs. Wu could take care of her body as soon as possible, so that he could rest assured. But in the ears of Mrs. Wu, she felt that Sun Quan was disgusted with her meddling.

Old Madam Wu was somewhat unhappy, these days when she was sick, even though Sun Quan was to settle the province every morning and dusk and serve the decoction, but many things were never discussed with her, and more importantly, Sun Quan's arrangements for other courtiers and generals have been settled, except for the adjustment of individual official positions, most of them still follow the old practice of Sun Ce's time, and order the generals who came to mourn to return to the town to guard the place.

But all this, only the arrangement of Sun Yi has not been conclusive, even if she is recuperating, occasionally some news has reached her ears, there are many rumors in the army, saying that Sun Yi often has resentment against Sun Quan, intending to win over some of the old generals to stand on their own.

This also made her very uneasy, one was afraid that Sun Yi would really have this intention and split Jiangdong, but she also knew in her heart that in fact, Sun Yi would not be able to succeed at all; The second is also worried that if Sun Quan listens to these rumors, there will be disagreement between the brothers.

Now that she is alive, Sun Quannian will definitely not do anything to Sun Yi with her nurturing grace. But if she goes one day, she won't be able to protect Sun Yi. She only hopes that Sun Yi will listen to her advice, and don't be a sinner in Jiangdong at this time.

Perhaps because of her long-term worries, Mrs. Wu's illness improved very slowly, she took too much bitter medicine, and her temperament became more sensitive and irritable. On the one hand, she was afraid that Sun Quan would not listen to her, and on the other hand, she didn't want Sun Quan to be displeased.

After weighing it for a long time, Old Madam Wu made a little concession first, "It's not impossible for the Yuan family's housekeeper to do so. It just so happens that Fu'er is in the house, and he should also learn about housekeeping, so let Fu'er help Yuan's take care of some trivial matters! ”

said that it was to help take care of it, but in fact, I am afraid that it is more supervised.

Sun Quan felt that it was not suitable, Xie Chunfu was not a female relative in the family, and it was still far away when it came to blood, so let an outsider take care of the house, Sun Quan was not stupid, and whatever ideas Mrs. Wu had were written on her face quickly.

"Since the sister of the Xie family is here to play as a guest in the house, how can there be a reason to make the guests tired, and when it reaches the ears of the ministers, I still think how frivolous and rude our Sun family is." Sun Quan refused.

"It's just to learn the housekeeper, and she doesn't have to take care of things." Old Madam Wu still didn't give up, "She is at home, and no elders will teach her this, she followed me in the past, and she only learned a little." Now ask her to follow the Yuan family, isn't it okay? ”

Sun Quan sometimes had a headache in the face of Mrs. Wu's stubbornness, but when he thought of his mother's nurturing grace, he couldn't say anything cruel to make her sad.

Just in a difficult situation, Qiao Wei suddenly spoke up, looking at Xie Chunfu, who was sitting on the side and was about to become transparent, "Then does the sister of the Xie family want to follow Sister-in-law Yuan to learn housekeeping?" ”
