167 Xiao Fu's Extras (1)
There are a few flat boats in the huge river, and from a distance, it looks like the leaves fall on the stream, which is very stable, but thin. The Fu family is a medium-sized family, there is only one wife and one concubine in the family, and they are happy, and the head of the family does not spoil the concubine and kill his wife, everything looks very good, and now the Fu family is taking a boat to Beijing.
Aunt Li is a child born in the family, her father and mother stepped on the frost and dew on the village, wearing the stars and the moon, and now she has become an aunt, how much can help them, especially after accidentally giving birth to a daughter after being pregnant, she was shocked, and did not drink the soup against the will of the housemother, but left her alive.
Now that her daughter is raised under his wife's knees, she is also much more at ease.
Fang just waited for his wife to wash her feet, and there she saw that the eldest lady's delicate green satin skirt was really good-looking, and it would be nice if Qiu Jun had one there, just that, Mrs. has always been good to Qiu Jun, and there is no deduction in food and clothing, which is enough.
Taking advantage of the gap, she went to her daughter Qiujun and said a lot to listen to her mother-in-law.
Fu Qiujun is a little girl, she is only seven years old this year, she is very thin, but her eyebrows are very neat, not like Aunt Li, who looks mediocre, with a bit of jade snow cuteness.
"Got it, auntie, I'll listen to my wife." Fu Qiujun said with a smile.
Although she is young, she knows very well that she is different from her eldest sister, she was not born from his wife's womb, and even his wife rarely takes her back when she goes back to her parents' home, and her name is not on the family tree, and she can only return to the room after the reunion dinner every year. When people outside look at her, they always say that her aunt is restless, so she gave birth to this wild seed.
But she didn't dare to tell her aunt about these troubles, her aunt was less courageous than a mouse and couldn't stand the fright.
Aunt Li left satisfied, she didn't dare to come to see her daughter, if it weren't for the fact that she was on the boat in Beijing, the rules were not so strict, she wouldn't dare to come over.
The Fu family is not a wealthy family, but Mrs. Fu is very good at managing the house, the family is well organized, and Fu Qiujun has also divided a small courtyard, although the furnishings of this courtyard cannot be compared with the eldest sister, but there is no need to live under Mrs. Fu's nose all day long.
The two little girls around her are also left over from the big sister, Honeysuckle is like a mute, confused, always keeps her mouth shut, and does things without any measure. Mai Dong is a frivolous person who can't hide her words, and everything in her yard will be said.
The only one used is Fu Qiujun's nurse Mother Qin, who often brings her some gadgets during the New Year's holidays, and she will play with these things until she is worn out and reluctant to throw them away.
It's just that Qin's mother is in the pulp washing room, and it is difficult to come out on weekdays.
The kites in her hand seem to be about to fade, but no one takes her out to play, Qiu Jun knows that she is just a concubine, what the concubine wants is her duty, lively and cute and playful, those belong to the eldest sister, not her.
On this day, Qiu Jun went to his wife to say goodbye, and his wife had a lot of jewelry and clothes there, and she didn't dare to look around. Mrs. Fu didn't take her as a concubine in her eyes, but just instructed the eldest sister: "Chunhua, you are as good as Miss Liu, but remember not to rely on her in everything." ”
"Mother, I know." Fu Chunhua smiled playfully.
Fu Chunhua is a very beautiful and rich girl, Qiu Jun heard others mention that the eldest girl of the Fu family is very blessed, and she is very delicate when she beats her sister at home, but Qiu Jun thinks it is normal. The five brothers doted on her, and Mrs. Fu was also afraid of her in her hands, so she held it
I'm afraid of flying in my hand, even if she has some temper, it's normal, and she is lenient, but she never tosses people.
The eldest sister at this time is a lady of heaven to her.
Qiu Jun knew her identity, although she was also a young lady of the Fu family, but Mrs. Fu's eyes were disgusted when she looked at her in private, and she narrowed down all her sense of existence.
The family taught her to read the biography of the second and fourth martyres, everything is a woman is weak, but is a woman really weak? Qiu Jun doesn't think so.
But what if she doesn't think so, she is still just a little girl, and she can only let it go, and besides, she heard that other people's girls are also learning this.
The eldest sister seems to have a better relationship with the girls of the Liu family, but it is strange that the girls of the Liu family rarely run to their homes, and most of them are the eldest sisters who go to the Liu family.
After two years like this, when Qiu Jun was almost ten years old, the eldest sister turned out to be married to the Liu family.
Maybe they think that Qiu Jun is still a little girl, and her sister-in-law has always been very good with her eldest sister, so she and his wife said: "The old man of the Liu family is the governor of Zuo, and he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and our aunt is a scholar, and he has just been promoted in the nineteenth year this year." Our lord said that the aunt of the Liu family can definitely be a jinshi, or our eldest sister's life is good. Madam, I wonder if the eldest sister's dowry is more, after all, marrying into such a family. ”
Qiu Jun saw his mother-in-law smiling all the time: "Of course, that's the Jinghu Liu family, how many famous ladies in the capital want to marry in, and they can't get started." It has to be my eldest sister, very blessed. ”
……
It's probably the first time that Qiu Jun knows what Shili red makeup is, and the eldest sister is not very close to her, first, there is an age gap, and secondly, there is a difference between the concubines.
After the eldest sister got married, Mrs. Fu took very strict care of her, like a prisoner.
If she was so kind to her big sister, then Qiu Jun felt that this was normal, but Qiu Jun was very perceptive. She remembered that when her eldest sister was her age, she went out to various banquets every now and then, and had many companions, even the Liu family's family business, and his wife often took her sister out for a walk, and her sister had a good relationship with Miss Liu, which is said to be because of this family affair.
A girl of this age has to go out and walk around more, but Qiu Jun knows that her aunt is cautious and respects her mother in everything. She had to learn incense recipes in private, do needlework every day, and paint by drawing patterns.
Such days simply don't know how many years and months are like, and in a blink of an eye, she has also reached the age of saying kiss, such a thing is something that no one will say to Qiu Jun, after all, it is the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker.
But Aunt Li passed on the news at a critical moment: "It's the second grandmother who said that she is a relative named Xu You, who was born in a poor family, her father died early, and she was raised by her widowed mother." At a young age, he is already a showman, and his wife said, this Xu family is weak, but the children are motivated, and if you marry in, you can be the master of the house. ”
"Widowed mother and only child?" Qiu Jun pursed his lips.
Aunt Li smiled: "It's a relative of the second grandmother, and the second grandmother is from a big family." ”
Qiu Jun soon met Mother Xu, a woman who seemed shrewd and capable, who sat there shyly, but who had suffered a lot of malice.
The people of the Fu family just ignored her, at most they should not be able to see it, but the woman said: "Although you are a concubine, our family will not dislike you." ”
She is a concubine, isn't she the daughter of Lord Hanlin, and she is only worthy of a small landlord?
But even if it's held
The joints of the hand bones were white, and Qiu Jun didn't dare to show half of his displeasure, because of this, his grandmother would say that she was unruly. She doesn't like this mother Xu very much, obviously the clothes she wears are white, and she spits in public when she eats, and even speaks harshly.
She is already aggrieved enough at home, and she will have to suffer from this mother-in-law when she marries in the future, such a bad and vulgar person, why did she just let her meet, she didn't believe that her life was so bad.
If Mother Xu had been more generous, she would still feel a little respite.
But now, is she just waiting to sit still?
But the turning point of things soon came, when the eldest sister was serving with her brother-in-law, because of an accident, she heard that her two nephews were dead.
Although the Liu family is not as prominent as the eldest sister when she got married, she was reprimanded by the emperor very badly, but her brother-in-law still has an official body. The eldest sister went like this, and Qiu Jun also felt a little pity.
But in a blink of an eye, she felt that she was a pity that she couldn't get up, and her mother-in-law wanted to marry herself to a small landlord with only twenty or twenty acres of land, and openly and clearly said that she would use the dowry to support the Xu family in the future, and the Xu family would be grateful to her in the future.
She thinks that she has always been stupid at home, but she is not really stupid.
Her own dowry is for men, not to mention whether a man can be promoted, if not, she will be just a showman for the rest of her life, what is the difference between her and a peasant woman?
If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
The Liu family is very big, but Qiu Jun has never come, because her grandmother never takes her out to walk around. Now because of the death of my sister-in-law, I often bring her over, because of the bad luck, several sisters-in-law have come once and are reluctant to come again.
On that day, she deliberately dressed up, because she found that she finally had some advantages as a transparent person, that is, her face was very good.
She happened to hear a news that Mrs. Liu was going to find a steproom for Liu Chengxu and preside over the affairs of the second room.
Others can, why can't she?
is just a steproom, not an original match, although Liu Chengxu is very sad, but she doesn't have to care about him being sad and sad. At least the life of the Liu family is very good, and the tea she eats casually can only be eaten by her grandmother for the New Year, and when the eldest sister married into the Liu family, her mother and sister-in-law were happy, which shows that the Liu family is indeed a good family.
Anyway, it's definitely better than the Xu family.
In the past, Qiu Jun kept her head down, because her family told her that women couldn't raise their heads, which was rude, but today she walked in with her head held high, showing a first-class graceful demeanor.
Mrs. Liu was also quite surprised when she saw her face, Qiu Jun gave up the previous submissive promises, but today she answered like a fluent, and her speech was very clear.
"This girl was born so well, can she have a marriage match?" Mrs. Liu asked.
Mrs. Fu found that things were out of control, because this submissive concubine now smiled shyly: "The little girl is not yet." ”
In fact, she couldn't answer this sentence properly, but she rushed to answer, obviously to gag her mouth. Mrs. Fu had no choice but to say, "There is a family that is negotiating." ”
Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Fu, why didn't she understand what Mrs. Fu meant, but Fu was dead, and her son was immersed in pain, so she couldn't keep slumping like this.
While hesitating, her son Chengxu came in, and Mrs. Liu found that her son's gaze at Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment, although he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Mrs. Liu already knew what to do.
What's more, she inquired, Fu Qiujun said that her relatives were extremely poor, and they still borrowed money to study, this Mrs. Fu didn't treat her concubine as a person at all, since this was the case, she wanted this daughter-in-law.
Knowing that the Liu family came to propose, Qiu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, she would never see Mother Xu's mean woman who looked down on her again, nor would she marry such a poor family, and she had to fill in most of her life.
That's great!
