Chapter 999: The eyes know it but the brain doesnt know it
Qi Baoer knew that her second aunt was bullying her stepmother and she was scared.
She didn't know much about what happened back then, but she could roughly guess the truth from her mother's occasional remarks.
Her second aunt's life was not very good when she was in her parents' house. When the stepmother came in, there were only yellow cabbages in the ground. She was always bothered by everything at home, and she didn't have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm.
The stepmother is usually a pretty person. Her second aunt is dressed in rags at home, but when she goes out, she is always dressed in decent clothes.
However, her second aunt only had one or two decent clothes, and the rest were patched with patches, including quilts.
So when her second aunt was going to marry her second uncle, if she really followed her second aunt's stepmother's wishes and only took the things she used for herself, she would have been so embarrassed that she couldn't see anyone.
The reason why her second aunt has a good reputation in the village, and everyone said that her generous dowry has given her a lot of face, is all because she has provided her with everything from start to finish, and also because her second uncle used to earn money from working outside.
She secretly asked her second uncle to give the twenty taels of silver to her second aunt to use as a dowry.
In rural areas, if outsiders knew about it, Juehua would say she was a crazy girl.
The reason her mother wasn't angry was because her father, who knew how to hunt, earned much more than her second uncle. To be fair, she secretly gave the money her father earned to her mother.
but···
Qi Baoer glanced at her grandma, who was still innocent even though she was old. She dared to gamble with her life. These tricks of balancing the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and using money to make Lao Qi's parents look good, were 100% truly from her father's hands.
.
It's not that she looks down on her breasts. Compared with her father, her vision is really not that little bit behind.
As far as the marriage of her third brother is concerned, looking at the issues that her mother is worried about, can the second Mrs. An be the same as her second aunt's stepmother?
"Mistress, Mrs. An is the head matron of the An Ruhe family. She has seven sons and seven daughters-in-law. All of the daughters-in-law are either from good family backgrounds or rich. But have you ever heard of Vice General An?
Is there any news about any disagreement in the backyard of the house?"
"Hey, in the capital city, as long as there is a trace, it can't be hidden. The inner palace of Vice General An's house is safe, no matter whether they are at odds with each other or are really in harmony, at least the second Mrs. An will not be able to get married before Li Yueying."
On top of that, she will do everything right."
Things like not paying a betrothal gift or something that would cause people to gossip and bring shame to the An family are not things that a smart person like Mrs. An would do.
"On the contrary, Mrs. An will only let Li Yueying get married in a glamorous manner. This will show the benevolence and generosity of the An family. They can treat a goddaughter they have just met so kindly, and they will naturally treat their relatives and subordinates with kindness."
even more.
The second thing is to be on good terms with us. There are some things that would not exist if we were not humble. Your granddaughter is a first-class wise king who holds military power."
After her granddaughter explained everything clearly, Mrs. Tian also felt that she was probably overthinking it.
It can't be blamed that the old lady didn't change her mind for a while. Firstly, the old lady didn't go out often after coming to Beijing. Secondly, the old lady didn't like to be in the limelight. Even when she went out, she was extremely low-key. Moreover,
Occasionally, Mr. Qi would remind her not to cause trouble outside and make things difficult for her granddaughter.
Although she has Aunt Ye, who was once the queen's personal maid, by her side, she is a servant and she is the master, and she is also a person who abides by her duties...
After several changes, Mrs. Tian not only lived a better life, but many of her mentality remained the same as before leaving the village.
In other words, his knowledge is still a little shallow. Compared with the old man Qi who hangs out all day long, the difference is not a little or two.
She understood, she understood, but if she took something out and then took it back and told her not to give it away, would she think it would be too much?
Mrs. Tian asked her granddaughter a little sarcastically, "Should we give her the milk after she comes in?"
Qi Baoer smiled slightly and helped cover the box of silver noodles and put it back into the old lady's arms, "Miscellaneous, whether these are from my father, my second uncle, or me and my eldest brother, they are all gifts."
Once it's in your hands, it's yours. If you want to give it to your granddaughter-in-law as a meeting gift or something, it's up to you."
Afraid that the old lady would not be able to change her mind, she gave a few more warnings: "When you enter our house, you are my own grandma, so what you have in your hands is not an exaggeration.
However, please listen to Grandma Ye more often. She used to be responsible for these things.
If you don't understand anything, just ask her, we are all in our own courtyard, who dares to bury you?!"
Mrs. Tian tightened her granddaughter's hand as if she was relieved, "I understand, don't worry."
It's hard to explain people. Some people can learn how to deal with things by changing the environment, but some people can't learn how to do things, even if they are taught by famous teachers.
Mrs. Tian belongs to the latter category. She has tried her best to learn, but even though her eyes are good, she can't speak, hands or feet, and her brain often cannot turn.
But she is more or less aware of her current status. Among other things, there is no doubt that she is the grandmother of the wise prince. In other words, no matter what she says or does, people will be connected to her granddaughter.
It is precisely because of this that the old lady is afraid that she will not say anything or do the right thing; no matter if she messes up the joke, or even if she gets into trouble unknowingly, she will be worse off than dead.
That's why she doesn't go out often. She only comes here to meet those ladies and old ladies who are of good temperament and whom she heard from Aunt Ye are worth interacting with.
Qi Bao'er usually doesn't have much free time. The old lady eats well, lives well and doesn't get sick at home. The servants don't think that the old lady is uncomfortable, so no one tells her that there is something wrong with the old lady.
.
Seeing how the old lady felt relaxed just because of such a trivial matter, Qi Baoer suddenly realized that she might not be happy all the time in Prince Xian's Mansion, and even more so in Beijing.
"Nai, let's find some time in a while and let's go back together to see my second uncle and the others."
Sure enough, the old lady's face showed genuine joy. She was so happy that her steps were much more cheerful. She put the two sets of headsets aside on the ancient shelf and said: "Bao, you have so many things to do, how can I let you go to you?"
Second uncle, run away. Let me ask your father to send a message to your second uncle. If they have nothing to do, ask them to come to Beijing to see us."
Qi Bao'er also got up and helped her sort out the pile of jewelry on the bed, "That's fine. I haven't seen my second uncle and my second aunt in some days. I miss them."
"Those two heartless people, when they come here, they will scold them. They are just a few pigs and a shabby shop, but they even bothered my family to talk about them."
If she thinks this is extremely unfair and biased, Qi Bao'er has already adapted to it, and sometimes even thinks it makes sense after being so brainwashed.
Just like now, a certain little girl nodded seriously, "It's so close. The second uncle and second aunt only come to Beijing every half a year, which is really rare."
