Can only choose one?

Qiu didn't think about it, so he said: "Then I'll choose Ronghua and Wealth." ”

She was originally an official's wife, but Chen Fanghai was demoted.

When he is reinstated, she will still be the wife of the official.

"That's right." Chen Anning pretended not to know her thoughts, knocked on the coffee table and praised, "You have followed your father for more than ten years, worked hard for him as a cow and a horse, and worked hard, not to mention even decent clothes and jewelry, and you have never even received a good word from them." Seriously, if you are not wronged, I will be wronged for you. ”

Qiu Shi sneered: "What's the use of talking about this now? ”

"It's useless to talk about these things now," Chen Anning said, "I just want to tell my mother that if my mother hadn't been deceived by my father at the beginning, my grandfather and grandmother would have been in the same situation, although I couldn't let my mother marry into a big family, but she would have married a township gentry." The reputation of the township gentry is not as good as that of the big families in the capital, but in a small world, they can cover the sky with one hand. ”

"Mother might as well think about it, if you were married to such a family, with the support of your grandfather and grandmother, what kind of life would you live?"

What will she do......

Qiu's gaze unconsciously began to empty, and his mind involuntarily brought himself into the noble lady he knew.

There were luxurious carriages, servants who opened the way, hordes of slaves and maids, and countless compliments.

There is an endless supply of money.

There are endless brocade clothes.

Inexhaustible jewelry.

Endless delicacies......

Looking at Qiu's face gradually flushing, his eyes gradually blurred, and his breathing gradually shortened, Chen Anning hooked the corners of his mouth, and motioned Chunrui to take out the clothes and jewelry that the eldest princess gave to Qiu.

After that, she spoke again: "My father has been in and out of officialdom for twenty or thirty years, for such a long time, but he is still a superintendent from the eighth grade, which shows that he has no talent for being an official." ”

"In fact, if you don't have talent, it's nothing, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can make up for your innate shortcomings."

"But how did my father do it? I don't have talent, and I don't want to work hard, I just want to sell my daughter for glory and take a shortcut. ”

"Such a person, even if he can be reinstated, this life will be like this."

Qiu Shi did not speak.

Chen Anning was not in a hurry, and slowly added: "My mother has been following my father for almost twenty years, right?" Tut-tut, the best twenty years of my life were all spent on my father's inaction. ”

"Chun Tao, go get me a bronze mirror."

After Chun Tao brought the bronze mirror, Chen Anning walked to Qiu's side, held the bronze mirror up and looked at the two of them, "Mother, look at yourself, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are wrinkled, and her posture is getting more and more bloated." This looks like a woman who walks out and says that she is a woman in the market, and no one will doubt it, right? ”

Of course, Chen Anning didn't look down on the women in the market, but she knew that what the Qiu family wanted most was to be held by the stars, so she stimulated her.

Qiu subconsciously pressed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"My father must be many years older than my mother, right?" Chen Anning continued to stimulate her, "But my father looks much younger than my mother. Does the mother know why the father is younger? ”

"Because it has always been my mother who has been in charge of the housework, he has been sitting back and enjoying it!"

"In the final analysis, my mother is nominally his wife, but in fact she is a steward invited by the Chen family."

"No, no, as long as the steward takes care of all affairs, he can happily take the monthly salary. Mother not only has to take care of all affairs, but also has to honor grandmother, serve your father's body and mind, they have to complain to you if they are a little unhappy, and do not give you monthly salary. ”

Qiu's face was already very ugly.

Chen Anning made persistent efforts and said: "How many twenty years of life are there in total? My mother has already consumed one with my father, how many can I take out and continue to consume? ”

"In the end, if my father can be in a high position, what if he can't?"

"What is Mother going to do?"

"Is it really like a woman in the market, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of my grandmother and father all her life?"

"In addition, if my father dislikes my mother after he is in a high position, what is my mother going to do?"

"Don't say anything impossible."

"After my father was in a high position, when he drank with his colleagues, there must have been all kinds of comparisons. The wives next to him are all from famous families, only the mother is from the mountains, and the father's face must be dull. For the sake of his future, his father can even sell his own flesh and blood, and it is not impossible to change to a wife from a famous family in order to save face. ”

"When the time comes, you will be swept out of the house, what else will you have besides the vicissitudes of life?"

Qiu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

At this time, Chunrui came out with clothes and matching jewelry.

Chen Anning put away the bronze mirror and motioned to her, "Mother, do you want to give it a try?" ”

Qiu looked at the clothes and jewelry blankly, and asked blankly, "For me?" ”

Chen Anning nodded, "Of course, I just don't know if my mother likes it or not." ”

Qiu walked over, reached out to touch the clothes, and then touched the jewelry, and asked, "Was it given by the eldest princess?" ”

Chen Anning said 'um', "Mother, go give it a try and see if it fits." ”

Qiu should be fine.

After two cups of tea.

Qiu Shi changed his clothes and came out, and after turning around in front of her twice with less confidence, he asked, "How is it?" ”

"The eldest princess's vision is really good," Chen Anning praised without hesitation after looking up and down for two back and forth, "Mother really has a bit of a noble lady's demeanor when she wears this dress." ”

Qiu touched the golden hairpin jade on the bun, touched the sleeves and skirt, and said with great affection: "The clothes are good, but it's a pity that people are old." ”

"If you know you're old, start changing from now on!" Chen Anning said.

"How to change?" Qiu asked instinctively.

"Mother just need to remember," Chen Anning stepped forward, straightened the jade hairpin on her head, and said slowly but firmly, "You came to the capital with your father to enjoy happiness, not to be a cow or a horse." So you deserve the best of everything in the world! The best clothes, the best jewelry, the best courtyard, the best food, the best compliments, and so on. ”

"If your father can't give you this, it means that he has never taken you to heart!"

"The person who cares about you will definitely try his best to be good to you."

"Like me, you have never raised me, and I can still ask the eldest princess to give you these rewards."

"And what about my father, you have been in charge of this family for him for almost twenty years, but he has not said anything!"

"That is, my mother has a good heart, if it were someone else, she would have abandoned their family a long time ago."

Qiu Shi looked down at the colorful clothes on his body, and his mind kept reminding of the sacrifices and grievances he had suffered to the Chen family over the years.

"Okay, the past is gone." Chen Anning gently hugged Qiu Shi and explained, "As long as my mother takes good care of herself in the future and is no longer deceived by them." ”

Qiu's eyes were red, and he was about to say a few words that were heart-wrenching, when he saw the maid guarding the door hurriedly coming over, and reported quickly: "Second Miss, the porter said that Master Xie is here, and he said that he was looking for Second Miss by name." ”
