Chapter 60: Scheming
Song Anning was slightly blessed to the old lady.
"Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law also went back first."
The old lady waved her hand, her face full of impatience.
Song Anning left.
There were only three people left in the house: Jiang Rongsheng, Zou Wanniang and the old lady.
The old lady glanced at Zou Wanniang, and her face was not very good-looking.
"You go down first, if it's okay on weekdays, it's good to stay in your own room, don't keep coming out to stir up trouble, always recognize your identity."
Zou Wanniang replied weakly, "Yes." ”
Then he was also helped down by the maid.
in the house.
When everyone was gone, the old lady ordered someone to close the door, and then sighed.
"What do you think of today's events?"
Jiang Rongsheng sat in a chair and was silent.
The old lady said speechlessly: "In front of me, what else can't you say?" I can't call your two daughters-in-law back, you are really, the matter between husband and wife should be brought to the room to say, and now that it is like this, I really regret that I should not have agreed to you to let Aunt Zou enter the house in the first place. ”
Jiang Rongsheng was silent for a long time before he said, "Mother, do you even think that the rumors outside were spread by Wanniang?" ”
The old lady sneered.
Take a pair of eyes and slant at him indifferently.
"Don't think I don't know the little Jiujiu in your heart, men are like that, Hua'er's matter, you told Aunt Zou, right?"
Jiang Rongsheng was speechless.
For a moment, he nodded in the end.
But he followed up to explain.
"But Wan Niang will never betray me, and she has no motive to harm me."
The old lady sneered, "Why not? Didn't the Qin clan say it clearly? Step by step, coveting the position of the housemaster, isn't it as she wants? The more fiercely you quarrel with the Qin family, the happier she will be. ”
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help but sigh again.
"According to me, you, you, who have lived for half your life, have been an official for decades, you are confused, what kind of person is Zou Wanniang, but she is the daughter of a criminal minister, don't say that she is worthy of being the head mother of my Jiang family, if her identity is discovered, it would be good if you were not affected by her, and you still want to be the lady of the main room?"
"Although the Qin family is a little short-tempered and spicy, but the family background is good, don't forget, her father was the highest position and the Taishi back then, and now he is broken, but no matter how down, it is no worse than our Jiang family."
"The people of a family are naturally both prosperous and loss-oriented, if you don't look at anything else, even if it is for the sake of Hua'er's face, you should give her three points, instead of going toe-to-toe with her for a little slut who can't get on the stage like now, what good is it for you?"
Jiang Rongsheng was so loud that he didn't dare to speak.
He actually knew that the Qin family had been more or less wronged in this matter, but he just couldn't help it.
has been married for more than 20 years, but if there is anything wrong, when did the Qin family not put a hat on his head? What time did he really feel comfortable?
He's just aggrieved.
When other men go home, their wives are gentle and considerate, and they are obedient, but when they come to him, this one at home is not like a wife, but like a tigress.
is still gentle and lovely, and likable.
Thinking of Zou Wanniang, Jiang Rongsheng's heart couldn't help but feel a warmth.
How shrewd is the old lady?
After most of his life, he saw through what his son was thinking at a glance.
But this is a weakness in human nature, and she can't force it, so she can only poke his forehead with hatred, and say, "You, you, sooner or later, you will be killed by that fox." ”
"The Qin family has an arrogant personality, so it's good to let her suffer hardships and suppress her arrogance, otherwise when I don't go in the future, this huge Jiang Mansion will really become her Qin family's world."
"You are an official and a ruler, and it stands to reason that I should not teach you these principles and methods, but your father went early, and there is no one else to teach you except me."
"This middle and backyard, just like the court, no one can dominate the family, what is needed is a balance, then Zou Wanniang is not a good thing, if it weren't for her sake of giving birth to a son for you, I would definitely not agree to her entering the house."
"But now that she has come in, you have to balance well, you can't let anyone think that they can pinch you, Qin's arrogance, you can use Zou Wanniang to suppress her arrogance, but you must not praise the surname Zou as the housewife, this is the rule, but also to prevent the Qin family from dying and breaking the net, and poke out all the secrets of our Jiang Mansion."
"I've been married for 20 years, and I can't become an enemy when I don't look at the face of the monk, and I can't become an enemy when I'm old, do you know what I mean?"
Jiang Rongsheng understands.
He nodded again and again, "It's all the son's unfilial piety, which bothers the mother." ”
The old lady waved her hand so that he didn't have to say any more, and then gave a few more words before letting him go down.
East Courtyard Wing.
Zou Wanniang was sitting on the bed, sorting out Jiang Rongsheng's clothes.
The door was pushed open with a "squeak", she was slightly startled, and when she turned around and saw that the person who came in was Jiang Rongsheng, she suddenly felt a touch of joy.
"Lang Jun, why are you here?"
She hurried over to welcome Jiang Rongsheng back.
Jiang Rongsheng looked at her and paused.
He sighed and said, "You have just returned home in the past two days, and so many things have happened, and I have wronged you." ”
Zou Wanniang didn't pretend not to understand, but shook her head sensibly, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun didn't go to the eldest lady first, but came over to comfort me first, for me, Lang Jun has me in his heart, since this is the case, then what else do I care?" ”
Jiang Rongsheng's heart was extremely comforted.
"Sure enough, you're still sensible."
He walked in with Zou Wanniang, the two sat down at the table, Zou Wanniang poured tea for him, Jiang Rongsheng drank tea, groaned for a while, and then said: "Today's big lady is making a lot of trouble, but let me understand one thing, such a pungent and domineering temperament as the big lady, you said that if she really knew about your existence, would she be able to endure it for so long?" ”
Zou Wanniang moved.
Her eyes rolled imperceptibly, and then she said with a smile: "The eldest lady has an upright temperament, I must not know, in fact, I also think that the eldest lady is not such a scheming person, this matter, Lang Jun is afraid that he misunderstood her." ”
Jiang Rongsheng was a little surprised.
"Oh? She blames you so much, you help her speak? ”
Zou Wanniang smiled.
"The eldest lady blames me, nothing more than blaming me for not bewitching the lord and taking away Lang Jun's heart, but from the heart, although Lang Jun treats me well, he has never treated the eldest lady badly, because Lang Jun is a frank gentleman, since ancient times, men have three wives and four concubines, the gentleman should be impartial, the rain and dew are all wet, the eldest lady just cares too much about Lang Jun, so she will be blinded, and then spread her anger on me."
As she spoke, her eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head.
"If you talk about selfishness, who doesn't have selfishness? Although I don't despise it, I have to admit that I also have selfish intentions, that is, I hope to enter the house, to be with you in a dignified manner, and I don't have to be like a mouse that can't see the light, I can only hide in that small mansion, like a widow, waiting for you day and night. ”
