The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 83

After leaving the Jinse Yard, Yan Ru was depressed and did not speak. Xue Shi didn’t know her daughter’s temperament yet, so he glared at her and resisted not teaching her.

As soon as he returned to Yusheng Academy, Xue’s lesson began, “Your second aunt is sincere, don’t think you don’t like to hear what she says. Which family lives by singing poems? Which family’s wife chooses a daughter-in-law? Are these gimmicks? I said long ago that you weren’t allowed to learn, you had to learn, and you went too far. Look at your second aunt, who was a famous talented woman in Beijing before. Did someone take it out and drop the book bag? What is it called…”

Seeing that her mother hadn’t come out for a long time, Yan Ru angrily answered, “There are poems and books in her belly.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

“You also know that studying more will make you feel proud of poems and books? Didn’t my daughter also look at her second aunt and be different from us, so she wanted to learn more?” Yan Ru blushed and retorted.

This is true. If you say who Yan Ru admires most, then it is the second aunt Shen Yiyao. She looked at this second aunt since she was a child, and she was not the same as the others. She spoke gentle and decent, neither overbearing nor overbearing, and her whole body style. It’s not like her mother, who feels flattery when she speaks, and she’s not like the third aunt, who seems to cringe and shrink her family.

But a few years ago, Xue clan Yan Ru did not let her get close to Shen Yiyao. At that time, Shen Yiyao was worried about her sick son and rarely showed her face. No one teaches, Yan Ru’s own ignorant learning will have Yan Hong’s sneer saying, “I like to be gentle every day.”

Seeing her daughter’s teardrops, Xue cried around her and said, “My mother doesn’t say you shouldn’t learn these things, but your second aunt is right. The other two cannot be removed. Everyone chooses a daughter-in-law. It’s nothing more than that kind of piety that is neither humble nor overbearing, generous and decent, and not showing timidity on any occasion. Fortunately, my mother is still in charge of the middle feed. From tomorrow you will follow the mother to learn the housekeeper. Although the silver is pinched by your grandmother, but Let’s learn the inner ways, lest we get married in the future and our life will be a mess.”

“What about the rules?”

Seeing her daughter picking up and asking this, Xue knew her daughter had figured it out: “Since your second aunt said this, there must be a way, don’t worry.”

Yan Ru snorted, “Second aunt is in your mouth since this is good, then you used to restrain me from going to Jinseyuan, you can only go at that time.”

When it comes to his actions back then, Yan Ru feels ashamed from the bottom of his heart. When I grow up, I gradually become sensible, and gradually I can understand that that kind of behavior is actually bad.

Xue’s face flushed and slapped her daughter on the back. “You are not arranging your mother? What is the reason for the old mother, not for this family, your grandmother is not used to your second aunt, we can only stay away some.”

Thinking of this, she was also full of aggrieved heart and couldn’t help crying, “Do you think it’s easy to marry a concubine and make a living under the hands of a maternal and in-laws? Everything depends on the person’s face! Why is this mother doing this for you to marry in the future? Good point, don’t be so difficult like a mother. The daughter of any family is not loved by parents at home, but marrying is not the case. Your second aunt is also very beautiful in the first half of her life, but what is left in the end, if it is so easy, the third girl will Is it so ruthless at a young age? Isn’t it forced!”

“mother…”

“It’s okay, as long as you are better in the future, you are willing to let the mother die. You have nothing to do with the third girl. The third girl is not bad, but he has a short temper and can’t rub the sand in his eyes. Dealing with such a person It’s the easiest. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will treat you with all her heart. Unlike those crooked minds who smile at you on the uncertain face and stab you in the back.”

The mother and daughter babbled for a long time before Xue clan saw someone standing in the corner of the wall.

But it was Yan Ling, and I saw her in the house at that time, but she was so impatient to enlighten her daughter, but she forgot her existence.

Xue looked at Yan Ling’s eyes very complicated, and said for a long time: “In the future, Ru’er will learn to be a housekeeper, and you will follow along. If your second aunt can invite a maid from the palace, don’t pull it off.”

Yan Ling’s eyes were half drooping, and she lifted up in surprise.

Xue’s eyes were disgusted, and he said, “Don’t look at me with that expression. If you get married in the future, you and your husband and He Meimei, suddenly a shameless girl crawled out of bed while your husband was drunk and survived. After a child came out, I think you’re not doing as good as me! I’ve never been a generous person, so don’t expect me to be good to my concubine. But I won’t hurt you. If you can do well in the future, Fortunately, if it’s not good, blame your shameless aunt.”

After speaking, Xue clan waved, Yan Ling stiffened and stepped back.

…

Now Yan Ling owns a room, but the girl can no longer live with her aunt when she is older.

Seeing the girl come back stiffly, Xiao Tao greeted her, but Yan Ling stopped what she wanted to say. She entered the bedroom by herself, closed the door, and then went to lie down on the couch.

Suddenly, she felt a very absurd feeling. Since she was sensible, she began to resent and hate. When she hated it, she realized that what she hated was all a joke.

All the unexplained things are now explained.

Why did my father never get close to my aunt? Why did she encourage her aunt to fight for favor with his aunt in secret, and her aunt just cried and didn’t speak. She thought her aunt was timid and fearful of her aunt. Why she was wronged and secretly talked to her dad, dad just looked at her complicatedly, but said nothing and did nothing.

It turned out to be because of this!

Her aunt is actually a girl who steals the bed while her master is drunk!

She never knew!

What the aunt’s mother said was not an exaggeration. If it was her, she would naturally pour a bowl of abortion pill early, and take care of the life and death of your adult’s fetus, once and for all. In recent years, Yan Ling is full of hatred, and has studied this kind of private means. Now that I want to come, I can still come into this world, or rely on the mercy of the person who made her hate her?

No wonder others will criticize her, because she is a shame to that person, a thorn in the flesh. The blame has to worry about how pitiful she pretended to be in the mansion. No one of the elders has ever come forward to take care of it, so that’s it!

Yan Ling covered her eyes, letting tears trickle down.

She was at a loss now, and suddenly she felt at a loss.

The door was knocked from outside, and Aunt Wang’s anxious cry came. It turned out that Xiao Tao saw that the four girls looked wrong, so she went to invite Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang’s and Yan Ling’s rooms are both in the back cover room of Yusheng Yard, and the two rooms are not too far apart.

Yan Ling heard the sound, wiped her face indiscriminately, wiped away her tears, and then said: “Come in, the door is not bolted.”

Aunt Wang pushed the door in, carefully came to the bed and sat down.

“What’s the matter with the four girls? But did the lady scold you again?”

Seeing her daughter did not answer, Aunt Wang wiped her tears: “Madam has a bigger temper, so don’t confront her. If you follow her, she won’t be embarrassed with you. You are also older, in two years. I’m going to get married, and life will be easier then.”

Yan Ling didn’t speak, she suddenly felt tired.

Her aunt would always say that every time she ate her aunt’s hanging. In the past, she always felt that she was too courageous, and hating iron can not make steel, but now she has no deep meaning in her words. There is also an explanation for why her aunt is so cautious and outrageous.

Don’t confront her, just follow along, you won’t be embarrassed? This is how she fumbled out to get along with her aunt?

Regret it?

Because of a temporary difference, I have never had a smooth life, and even hurt my own flesh and blood?

Presumably she didn’t regret it, Yan Ling knew that Aunt Wang’s family was not doing well. I have to go to the house several times a year to fight the autumn breeze. The environment of the big room is not rich, and Aunt Wang is not favored. She can only save and save her monthly allowance and post it to her family. In that kind of home, it’s pretty good to be able to live a life without worrying about food and drink.

In the mansion, it seems to be a bad life, let alone the three girls who are the proud girl of the sky, even the five girls are not as good. The so-called principle of not worrying about widowhood but not worrying about unevenness is this, and Yan Ling’s resentment also comes from this. Why is she always inferior to the girl who is also a girl in the house.

But for the poor people’s homes, life here is already unimaginable. In the early years, the cousin from the uncle’s family came in and knocked her head over, as can be seen from that cousin’s eyes.

So, Yan Ling, stop complaining, you should be content! Just assume that the previous harshness is to pay off the debt to the woman in front of me!

“I’m okay, I know that I have to please my mother, and when I marry someone in the future, life will be better.” Yan Ru said with a stiff voice and a blank expression.

Aunt Wang was surprised. Every time she said this to her daughter in the past, she didn’t want to listen. As she grew bigger, the occasional expression made her feel palpitations. At this moment, she can figure out that she can only be blessed by the Bodhisattva, ready to go back and give the Bodhisattva a few more sticks of incense.

Fearing too much, she persuaded: “Four girls, we can’t blame others, we can only complain about life. Whoever makes the auntie’s background is not good, we can only be a child. But you are different. You can say anything in the future. Be an official wife.”

Ha ha…

Yan Ling smiled helplessly, sat up on her bed, and said, “Okay, Auntie, I know. You go back to the house first and let me lie down for a while.”

Aunt Wang babbled a few more words before leaving.

In the main room, Yan Ru asked Xue suspiciously: “Mother, why do you want to tell her this? You don’t want to mention this?”

“You didn’t notice that she was getting more and more gloomy. When she looked at people, her eyes were so dark. She is also big. I can’t let her have any thoughts to harm you. Rather than being an enemy, it’s better to let her understand her. The reason why I was able to give birth is entirely because I opened up the Internet. Wouldn’t it be better to be a helper for you in the future?”

The expression on Xue’s face is very complicated, “More than ten years are enough, and all that should be vented is also vented. After all, she is your father’s kind. Daughter, remember that a man’s guilt is limited, you have to understand When he feels guilty, let himself get the most benefits, but he also has to know how to stop. You see that your father hasn’t looked at other women for so many years. My relationship with him is one and the other is that he feels sorry for me. .”

Yan Ru didn’t speak, and didn’t know if he had listened to this.

Xue sighed and touched his daughter’s hair.

Poor parents in the world, when faced with a daughter who is about to get married and want to leave her own wings, mothers always want to put everything they know into their daughter’s mind, just to save her from detours in the future. But no one knows what the future will be.

…

After a few days, the nursing mother Shen Yiyao invited arrived.

This mother is not very old, less than fifty. The surname is Chang, who used to serve the former concubine in the palace before. After the former concubine passed away, he asked for grace and released the palace. Since he could no longer contact his family, he set up a small house in Beijing and haunted the high gate house all the year round to help teach the girls in the house how to make a living.

This time Shen Yiyao was able to come here with a big price.

Both Yan Ru and Yan Ling are going to learn the rules, including Yan Yan.

Yan Yan actually didn’t have the patience to go, but Shen Yiyao said that the rules in the palace must be understood. The women who are in charge have to go to the palace to worship during the National Day, Your Majesty’s Longevity, and the Queen’s Empress for thousands of years, so as not to catch the blind on the spot.

To put it bluntly, it is to plan ahead.

Yan Yan, Yan Ru, Yan Ling went to Mother Chang to learn the rules, but she pulled down Yan Qianyan and the two girls in Sanfang.

Aunt Wu and Chen also didn’t know what Shen Yiyao thought, and they didn’t dare to say anything for a while.

When I went to Rong’an Hall this morning to greet her, the old lady’s face was rather unsightly.

“Second daughter-in-law, what you are doing is wrong. Please come back and teach three mothers, and a few others don’t. Let’s not talk about the second girl and the fifth girl. They are both raised by auntie, sixth girl. Why didn’t you go with Qi Girl?”

Shen Yiyao, who was sitting at the bottom, was taken aback for a moment, Yan Yan glanced at the Xue family, and Xue family did not live up to her expectations, and pulled the corner of her mouth to speak.

“Mother, you can’t blame the second sibling about this matter. Didn’t the daughter-in-law tell you a few times earlier, you said that the maids in the palace are all waiters, and you can’t teach anything. But the daughter-in-law thought After thinking about it, I always felt that it was justified for someone to ask a nanny, so I entrusted the second younger sibling to help and invited one back. This person was not requested by the second younger sibling, but by the daughter-in-law, and the price is not low. It will cost two hundred taels in two months.”

After she finished talking to the old lady, she faced the Chen family again: “You know the third siblings and the third girl are not young, and you are waiting to say kiss, so you have to stay close to them. As for Yan Ling, that’s incidental. It’s impossible for a parenting mother to teach too many people at once, she can’t just swallow her head and ignore her tail. You three rooms must really need it, and then discuss with the mother and let her stay for a few more months?”

Xue’s words are very vague, but the voice is very obvious. For the sake of the girl in the mansion, I suggested to invite one back, but the old lady thought it would cost money, so she refuted. Now I am paying for one by myself, why is it all my eyes?

The old lady usually doesn’t care about this. If there is nothing Chen said in the middle, the Xue family chopped off his head and gave it to someone to sit on!

In particular, there are some previous events involved. The left is only when the Xue family wants to ask the nanny for education, and wants to pull the Chen family as a helper. Chen’s fear of annoying the old lady, so he pushed. The Chen family has always had this kind of personality, and the Xue family also knows that it has always been nothing to do with him.

But Xue was annoyed. I was asked to do things that offend people, and you would follow behind and enjoy the rewards time and time again. Now, for my own girl, I have to pay for my own sake, and I have finally hired a parenting maid to come back. Why have I jumped out at this moment!

Chen’s face was reddened by these words, and she would definitely not want to make her own money. In her mind, it would take two hundred taels in two months. No amount of silver can be so bad!

The two daughters-in-law of Xue family and Chen family, the old lady must be a little bit more inclined to Chen family.

“The eldest wife, I don’t want to listen to what you said. It’s all in the family, and it’s yours and mine?”

I don’t distinguish between you and me, but why don’t I see you out loud! Such things as good for the girls in the house are supposed to make money from the father.

Anyway, the Xue family is now increasingly despised of the old lady, an old lady from the Hou Mansion, who used to pick this little silver in the day. She didn’t know that the old lady was living in embarrassment. The little money that she copied out when she copied Aunt Pei in her early years had been spent long ago. Now she is sitting and eating in the mountains and eating grains.

The old lady didn’t want to hold the income of the family, and was anxious to push it out and find someone to carry it. But the problem is that she didn’t dare to take out the account. Once she took it out, it would be exposed unavoidably. At that time, someone in the family would ask where the promising business of the family’s Zhuangzi shop went, and how should she explain it!

This is also the fundamental reason why she handed the butler to Xue’s steward, but the income from the family was always in her own hands. Including the former Auntie Pei, and Shen Yiyao’s Madam Hou, who was the Zhenger of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion at that time, managed both the Fuzhong Jinxiang and Zhongxiu.

After that, Shen Yiyao handed over the Chinese feedback, because she had always had rules in everything she did, so she cleared all the accounts in front of people before handing it over to the old lady. The old lady took care of it for a few days before handing it over to Aunt Pei.

If all the properties in the mansion are owned by the second house, it’s okay, but the key is not. When the old man was dying, he divided the family once. At that time, the old lady let her dying husband out in order to separate the unpleasant concubine, and did not want to be stigmatized.

Lao Hou Ye also did as she wished and took out all the property in the mansion that had been removed from Weiyuan Hou Mansion’s meritorious field once. All the concubines have a share, and Yan Ting and Yan Qu, who are the prostitutes, take the lead. Then the concubines moved out of the Houfu. Because Dafang and Sanfang did not move out, the old lady forcibly gathered all the properties of Sanfang together and put them in the public house. The daily expenses of food and the favor were lost. They are all from the public.

In other words, in fact, Dafangsanfang did not rely on Yan Ting to eat, they only ate their share. Of course, there will definitely be some cases of taking advantage of the second room, but you are left with the title, and there is nothing to say about the brothers taking advantage of it. Most large families behave in this way. The so-called family clan cannot be just a family. Only when there are more people, the family will be prosperous.

The key is that the old lady does not know how to operate and does not delegate power. She can only sit and eat, and the large sum of silver spent by Yan Ting is too much. After so many years, little by little, the old lady has almost sold out all the properties in the mansion. , There are only two Zhuangzi, one shop and Xuntian of Weiyuan Hou Mansion, both under the name of Erfang.

In this situation, how dare the old lady be exposed.

In the end, this matter didn’t tell the reason, the Chen family stopped appearing, and the old lady didn’t want to pay the money, so she stopped.

After leaving the gate of Rong’an Hall, the Chen family hurried away with six girls and seven girls, seemingly not wanting to say a word to Xue family and Shen Yiyao.

“Sister-in-law, isn’t this not so good?”

Xue made a look, “I’ll go to your Jinseyuan and say.”

Yan Yan went to the usual mothers, and Xue and Shen Yiyao went to Jinseyuan. The two went to sit down in the East, and the maids served tea.

“This is the reason why I said that I came out of this silver. My sister-in-law knows that you have more money than we are, but you can’t come out to be a bully if you are rich. Haven’t you seen what’s going on in this mansion? Who has it? Money is unlucky for anyone, you spend money, no one will thank you, just take it for granted!”

“But after all, it’s a girl in the house.”

“I know that the second younger siblings have good sex, and it depends on who they are good. At first, I went to Sanfang several times for the two girls. Do you know what Chen said? Six girls and seven girls are still young. I don’t worry about this now. I went to find the old lady, just to eat her. In fact, if she Chen came to talk to us about this matter in person, it’s nothing, I just look down on her and like to shrink what she does. Behind, urging others to stand for her.”

Xue took a sip of the tea, and continued: “Of these three daughters-in-laws, the second siblings must also be able to see that she is the face of Chen’s in front of the old lady. How many years have she been married, even a son Didn’t raise it, did the old lady say anything? I was a belly-up, and I had a son in my first child. Do you remember the second sibling when you gave birth to the third girl? The third girl is too big and you hurt your body. She hasn’t moved for a few years. What kind of face is she? Naturally, she would not say that it was unpleasant. She would just cry and use filial piety to suppress others, otherwise, why did you turn your face away from the girl next to you.”

When it comes to these, Shen Yiyao looks complicated.

In fact, a lot of things can be seen clearly by others, and only those in the authority can be confused. She used to think her mother-in-law loved her most for a long, long time, actually? That is just self-righteous.

Seeing that Shen Yiyao’s face was not good, Xue hurriedly smiled and slapped himself on the mouth, “Look at my mouth, I didn’t shut the door. Don’t be offended by the second younger siblings.”

Shen Yiyao waved her hand, “Sister-in-law, don’t say that, just blame me for being so stupid.”

The Xue family put down the tea cup and lowered his voice: “Second sibling, let me tell you the truth, in fact, this time it’s not just to fight her.”

With that, she glanced at the several maids in the room, Shen Yiyao winked, and the girls filed out one by one.

Only then did Xue pour out what he was going to say one by one.

“Three years ago, when the mansion reduced the cost, I was suspicious. If you noticed it, you should find that the days in our mansion have been worse than each other in the past few years, and it has maintained a good reputation until now. Glazing. It stands to reason that this situation should not happen. Our mansion does not say that we have a big family and a big business, but it can be regarded as quite wealthy. There are so many people in a mansion, and there should be no worries about daily eating, drinking and spending.”

“But first I cut the cost, and then copied the money from Aunt Pei. The house has been rich for a few days, and it hasn’t been long before it’s tight again. In the past few years, I have been in charge of the house. I know better than others. Some. The old lady is picking it up day by day, and Jane has gotten a mess. To be honest, if it weren’t for a good excuse, I wouldn’t want to take care of this family a long time ago.”

Xue clan said so much, Shen Yiyao also heard some meaning.

“Sister-in-law mean?”

The Xue family didn’t sell it either, so he pressed his voice and said, “I’m wondering if our house is out of money!”

Shen Yiyao was very surprised. She was there when the family was separated back then, and after taking care of the house for a few years, she knew the family status of the house relatively well.

“This, shouldn’t it be possible?”

“I also hope it’s just my guess, but—” She paused, and then said: “I guess if it is true, it may take a few days before the old lady will find an excuse to take the housekeeping thing from me. Hand it over to you. At that time, you can take care of yourself. It’s best not to pick it up. There is really no way you can do it. Don’t just take care of it like me. Instead, you have to pick it up inside and out, and be in front of it. Don’t give people a scapegoat.”

Shen Yiyao was confused and nodded, “Anyway, thank you sister-in-law for reminding me.”

Xue smiled freely, “To say that we are both mothers, even if we have a little bit of it in our hands, they will be given to the children in the future. How can we get rid of it for unknown reasons? Women, Everything is false in this life, and only his own children are true.”

After saying this, Xue said goodbye.

After Shen Yiyao sent her away, she thought a lot when she returned to the house. ?
