A small but powerful impact was clearly felt under the palm of his hand. Gu Tingye was shocked and at a loss. Minglan quickly told him that this was just a normal reaction to fetal movement. The man stayed for a moment, suddenly got up and went out, taking down two little ones without knowing it.
. ~^.beijingaishu.^
When he was caught for pulse diagnosis at night, the old doctor thought that Mrs. Gu Hou had something important. After a quick glance, he found that Minglan's pulse was healthy and peaceful, and that her mother was fine. Only then did she realize that it was something like this. In addition, Gu Tingye asked again and again,
I can't help but feel like my head is as big as a bucket.
"Why is it kicking? Does it feel uncomfortable?"
"It's just a human being. If it's a human being, it has to move a lot, twist its waist, turn over, move its hands and feet, etc."
"Don't you feel unhappy?"
The old doctor was embarrassed, how could a fetus in the belly be "unhappy"? He could only vaguely say: "Generally, when he is happy, sleeps well, and eats enough, he likes to be punched and kicked."
Gu Tingye finally had some sense. After asking a few questions, he stopped the car, calmly clasped his fists and thanked her. Minglan apologized to the old doctor. She knew that the old doctor loved Mao Jian the most. In addition to the generous thank you, she also accepted Xin.
The top-quality lion's head mountain hair tip was given to him as a gift of two kilograms. The old doctor was also a person accustomed to the world, and knowing that Gu Hou was eager for it, he could only shake his head and leave with a wry smile.
When the lady on the other side heard about this, she was naturally very angry. On the day of her daughter's wedding, why don't you hire a doctor if you have nothing to do?
There are no prenatal check-ups these days. Although the imperial doctor often comes to check the pulse, she is still a little worried. Minglan can only touch her belly every day and say to the Buddha for blessing. From that day on, the little bastard in her belly seemed to be alive. Minglan
According to the old lady's medical teachings, I recorded the frequency of fetal movements every day. I found that they were very regular and full of vitality, which made me feel more relieved. On the third day after recording the fetal movements, Ting Can returned home three times. The lady had already thought about her daughter, and she was going to be there.
The Hou Mansion has been newly decorated and is only waiting for people to come to the door.
"My son, come and call me!" The wife's eyes were red. She held her daughter in her arms and looked left and right, but it was not enough. The man accompanying her also stepped forward and saluted her mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law.
The new uncle’s surname is Han, and his single name is Cheng. Although he is not as handsome as Qi Heng, and not as elegant as Sheng Changfeng, he is still a handsome and elegant gentleman. Standing beside him is the cool and beautiful Gu Tingcan, who is quite suitable. The three dynasties given by the princess mansion
The return gift was quite generous and decent, and the wife's eyes narrowed when she smiled. Seeing the newlyweds, Mr. Shaw couldn't help but think of his own pitiful widowhood, and his smile couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Gu Tingcan was not happy here either. She was putting on a show of strength and wanted to show her parents how well she married. It would be better if Minglan could look jealous and envious.
However, I happened to meet such a vegetarian sister-in-law. Her smile was festive and prosperous, and she actually held her belly in her hands and said in an old-fashioned way, "Let the husband and wife live in harmony from now on" and so on.
Tingcan's attack failed, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.
Han Cheng didn't speak much, and only smiled reservedly. As a noble son-in-law, the wife did not dare to speak up to scold him. In this way, Minglan's words were very timely. Han Cheng lowered his head and listened to a few words, then said respectfully: "
I have long heard that my second sister-in-law’s family is a family of poetry and calligraphy, and our teacher often praises Senior Brother Changbai in front of us.”
The leader of the Ant Forum, Fa Lan, quickly put away his distracted thoughts, thought for a moment, and wondered: "Could it be that my brother-in-law is now studying under Mr. Wang Shen?" Wasn't that old man clamoring to retire all day long and to visit the famous mountains and rivers?
"Exactly." Han Cheng cupped his hands and said, "In the past, most of Mrs. Hai's disciples scattered around to serve as officials, but Mr. Wang is the only one who is willing to teach a few apprentices."
Minglan's mind was moving, but she smiled on her face: "Mr. Wang is very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, he is slightly ill and has to stay away from his official career. However, as a result, his knowledge has become more advanced and mature. My brother-in-law is blessed, and he will be named on the gold medal soon.
." This old man has a weird temper. When Sheng Changbai fell in his eyes, he was still in the favor of the Hai family. Chang Feng was not qualified.
When Han Cheng heard that Ming Lan had mentioned all the family treasures, he knew that he was an expert. Although he was very happy, he became more and more respectful: "I accept the good words from my second sister-in-law." After a pause, he added, "I heard that my second brother-in-law, Brother Feng, has a literary name.
"It's quite prosperous. I've been away from the capital for a long time, and I'm looking forward to making friends with Brother Chang Feng and other capital schools so that we can learn from each other."
Although he spoke respectfully, he could not hide his youthful arrogance. But think about it, among the royal brothers, there are not many young and motivated people like him. Minglan smiled so "kindly" that Ting Can could see it.
There was a dazzling moment.
"Brother-in-law is so polite, why should he be so outspoken?" Minglan said with a smile, "My third brother will get married the day after tomorrow. I think all his friends will come to watch the ceremony, and after a wedding meal, they may immediately become brothers with my brother-in-law.
"Hurry up and deliver a letter to your mother's family when you get back. Don't forget to send a wedding invitation to the princess's house. Well, it's best to tell Father Sheng directly, otherwise Mrs. Wang will definitely want as few noble people as possible.
Han Cheng has been fond of literature since he was a child, and loves to associate with literati and elegant guests. Most of his relatives, friends and brothers on both sides of his parents are playboys and idlers. He was naturally happy after hearing Minglan's words. Hearing what they said to each other, Shaw just
Smiling in amusement, the lady was quite pleased and her eyes showed admiration, but Tingcan turned slightly sideways and faced the window without saying a word.
Minglan glanced at the mother and daughter, and thought: The old one was probably thinking, "Such a proactive and motivated son-in-law is indeed a good son-in-law." The younger one was probably depressed, "Why is my husband such a philistine, talking so much about his official career and economics?
Not elegant or noble at all. It's a pity that the goods are not right. If the wife had been decades younger and married Han Cheng, she would have been more harmonious and a perfect match.
Two days later, Chang Feng got married. The lineup for the wedding banquet was unusually deserted. It was not an intentional indifference, but it was indeed the case. Recently, old man Gongsun has become increasingly bald, and Gu Tingye's face is as dark as the bottom of a pot all day long. I think there will be something to do with the court.
Things didn't go well. Minglan was worried that her husband wouldn't be able to spare time, so she had to ask in advance: "My third brother is getting married. I wonder if the Marquis will go to the wedding banquet?"
Gu Tingye frowned, holding the file in his hand, and murmured: "After all, I have touched a sore spot, and now it is starting to twitch."
"If Lord Marquis really can't get away, I'll simply go and tell my parents."
"The disease is already deep, and it cannot be achieved overnight."
"It doesn't matter, my parents are both sensible people." If he didn't go, Wang would definitely be happy, and Sheng Hong would probably understand.
"If you want to fight against the slow, it seems not easy..."
The two of them chatted for a few words. Ming Antlan went up to shake his arm. Gu Tingye raised his head with a blank look on his face. Minglan had no choice but to repeat the words. Tingye laughed: "I am on duty, and I am not selling myself. I just slipped away.
The father-in-law’s family is still successful after drinking wine.”
Minglan was moved in her heart, but joked in her mouth: "I see that the Marquis has not only sold his body, but also his heart, ears, and eyes. When sleeping at night, he snores and grinds his teeth."
Gu Tingye was stunned for a moment, touched Minglan's face, and said worriedly: "I'm disturbing you, why don't I go to the study to sleep."
Minglan held her belly in her hands and moved to sit on his knees with difficulty: "It's okay, you don't have a loud voice. A push will probably clear you up for half the night, and a kick will clear you up for the whole night." She circled the man.
He was very skillful in coquettishness, "Don't go to the study to sleep. If you are by my side, I won't be afraid of anything."
She had just eaten the custard, and her breath was sweet and she made a sweet slurp sound. Gu Tingye felt like sugar in his heart. It was very helpful, but he patted her buttocks lightly and said with a straight face: "Here you go again."
You coax me with sweet words, what do you have to be afraid of?" I remember last summer, this little villain was too hot, so he threw his arm away several times while sleeping.
Minglan blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering up and down, her rosy face looked very innocent, and she timidly covered her chest with a small hand: "It's dark, how scary it is, if there are monsters coming to catch me.
What should I do if I eat~~~”
Rao Gu Tingye had rich experience and knew that 80% of what he said was unreliable, but he was still confused for a moment. After Minglan left, he was still holding the crumpled file in his hand. He was in a trance and couldn't read it for a long time. He has not read it since he was a boy.
Even though he was hanging out in the dandy circle, he had seen the world, and after that, he spent all day wallowing in the military camp, surrounded by men, so he heard a lot of erotic stories. His mind wandered, and he counted his fingers carefully, it was already this month.
, which is probably OK.
Minglan was hugging the pillow and was trying to fall asleep. She might as well be caressing someone on the bed. She was wearing soft underwear and wet thick hair with the familiar scent of soap. Under the dim corner light, Minglan asked vaguely: "Today
Why are you so early?"
"My husband is here to help you fight monsters."
A strange and lingering sound gradually came from the room. Danju, who was on duty outside, was startled. When she realized what she was doing, her face immediately turned purple. She was embarrassed and frightened. This, this... is okay?! She looked at Xiaotao opposite and mumbled.
I didn't know what to say, but I saw Xiao Tao holding her cheek and looking at the moon. She turned around and said with a naive smile: "Good sister, what do you think Aunt Ge will do for us as a midnight snack tonight? I want to eat moon cakes. ~" Dan Ju stared at her,
I couldn't say a single word for a long time. Forget it, let's go and pay homage to God.
Early the next morning, the couple woke up with their faces close to each other. They were just like the young man and woman having an affair under the rice seedling stand. Both of them were blushing and coy. Minglan was extremely embarrassed, but she felt physically and mentally comfortable. Gu Tingye was also very satisfied and hugged her.
Then I felt that my wife's round belly was also very cute and cute. The two of them frowned affectionately and caressed each other tenderly for a long time, and their hearts were filled with sweetness.
After Gu Tingye got dressed, he kissed Minglan hard on the cheek and strode out refreshed. The gloomy look on his face from the forum for the past few days was gone. The servants were greatly surprised, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
I secretly pray that this will happen every day.
Cui's mother had received the letter early and hurried over to help Minglan wash up with a stern face. Her mood was very complicated. According to professional knowledge, it was not impossible to have sex during pregnancy, but after all, there were still some... For safety,
It's best not to get involved; but it's extremely rare that the wife is pregnant and the husband hasn't moved a step into the concubine's room. In this empty space for more than half a year, the Marquis is still in his prime, so he must give someone a way out - what a right and wrong.
Difficult.
She didn't bother to lecture Minglan, she had never won anyway, so she just waited until after breakfast to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse.
Minglan has always been in good health, her pregnancy was very appropriate, and she was well-fed, well-dressed, and well-trained. She was a type of pregnant woman that doctors liked very much. The imperial doctor examined her, examined her, and said everything was in good condition. Mother Cui endured her blushing face and
I told the imperial doctor what happened last night tactfully. After all, the old imperial doctor was well-informed. He was stunned for a moment and then said it was okay. Seeing that Cui’s mother’s face was wrinkled, she didn’t shy away from suspicion and went up to talk.
Things to note when having sex during pregnancy, Mother Cui’s clouds turned clear.
On the day of Chang Feng's wedding, the Shao family was newly widowed, Minglan was pregnant, the Zhu family was in labor, and the three ladies of the Gu family could not go, which would have ruined their reputation. Only the Tai Furen took action in person, and Ting Wei, who always loved the excitement, was very excited.
Went. Minglan couldn't go by herself, so she asked someone to prepare a gift and went over to congratulate her. Well, she also asked Xiaotao to go over and contact her. Xiaotao is a warm-hearted and good girl. Seeing that Sheng's family was very busy, she volunteered to help.
When he came back, he brought a belly full of gossip and three large parcels of food. The food was distributed to the sisters in the courtyard, and the gossip was given to the bored pregnant woman, Ms. Minglan.
The wedding was very lively, and there were so many guests. Even if they didn't look at the Sheng family, they also wanted to look at the Liu family. Moreover, the Sheng family's uncles all came neatly and looked very decent. On the table, Wang's words were half sour, but it was a pity that he lacked skills.
, everyone could tell that she was not as happy as she showed on her face, but the old lady was really happy and sincerely made a wish, "I hope that my grandson will be prosperous and my family will be safe."
Mo Lan was particularly high-profile, wishing that everyone would know that the glamorous groom in front of her was her brother, and that Miss Liu's daughter-in-law would be her sister-in-law in the future. Her words and deeds were quite rude and frivolous, and Wang was angry and deliberately shouted at her.
He stopped, but it was in front of outsiders and it was hard to scold him, so the master Hualan took action and killed him with one blow.
"Huh? There are two girls in your family. My uncles are here, why didn't they come?" said a good-hearted woman.
Hua Lan was graceful and generous, with a sweet smile: "My fifth sister just gave birth to a fat girl, who is not yet a month old. My sixth sister is also pregnant and has difficulty moving around." After saying that, she turned to Mo Lan,
The eldest sister of the group was concerned and said, "Fourth sister, you should also advise my brother-in-law. He is busy with official duties all day long. No matter what he does, he must have a wife first."
Mo Lan's pretty face turned pale, and she almost broke the roots of her teeth, but it stopped.
According to the principle that birds of a feather flock together, Mrs. Tai miraculously struck up a conversation with Aunt Kang, unexpectedly meeting her so late. Minglan guessed that the two of them should have a common language in saying bad things about themselves. But outside at the men's table, Ting
Wei quickly made friends with Liang Han. The more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative. They held hands and went to the stable to admire the horses. They also made an appointment to appraise birds and taste chickens another day. Han Cheng also got his wish and became friends with Zongliu. Just now
After two cups of wine, we made an appointment to have a poetry contest the day after.
Everyone got what they wanted, and it was indeed a very harmonious wedding banquet - except Sheng Changfeng, the newlyweds paid homage and were sent to the bridal chamber. After Changfeng picked the bride's hijab, she also had to come out to entertain the guests. Xiao Taojin, who could not squeeze into the new house,
Witnessed from a distance, Chang Feng staggered a little as he walked out of the new house, and his expression was very heavy. It is said that when Aunt Lin was kicked out of the Sheng Mansion, his expression was not so sad.
Minglan was unkindly enjoying herself for a long time, and her movements of flipping through the account books became much more brisk. The women standing below were a little confused and secretly glanced at the master, but Minglan glanced over.
"According to what my mother and several managers said, our government's expenditures in the past few years were so heavy because of the people living in two-bedroom apartments, right?"
Everyone in the Peng Shou family was full of smiles: "Reporting to Madam, this is hard to say, but it seems that we dislike the two old ladies. But..." She smiled so much that a chrysanthemum appeared on her face, "The old marquis is the best
He is a kind and considerate person, but there is nothing we can do about it."
Minglan nodded, started sketching with a pen, and said in a clear and bright voice: "In that case, starting from the year before, these expenditures can be written off... plus the expenses for the funeral of the eldest brother, and the expenses for the seventh girl to leave the cabinet...
This is how things come and go. Now there are also the newly hired nanny and mother-in-law in the room of the three younger brothers and sisters... Sister Rong and Sister Xian are getting older, and there are more thoughtful and smart people in the house. This is another...
"She said something, and the next few women responded.
After listening for a long time, the Peng Shou family asked softly: "Madam, the two old ladies have moved away, and we have plenty of manpower there. I don't think we need to spend so much money on demolishing the wall and building the wall at the other end."
, why not divide the fortification work into several sections and ask the people in the mansion to take on some of the work. Firstly, you can save some money, and secondly, you can find a livelihood for the empty people in the mansion." Only when there are errands can there be income, and only then can there be oil and water. If
Doing nothing means you are free, but don't you drink the northwest wind?
Minglan raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, do you have any family members in the house who have learned the craftsmanship of clay tiles?"
There was a moment of embarrassment in the Peng Shou family: "This, this... not really. But it's not that difficult to think about, isn't it..." c
"Nonsense!" Minglan scolded, "Breaking ground for construction is not a trivial matter. If you don't do it, it will be fine. Once it is done, it must be done well. What's more, it is an important task for the wall, which must be strong and thick. Now this mud and tile team has become the capital city.
One of the best, the Marquis is worried about this. You are too old to do things, why do you say such careless words!"
The Peng Shou family's Ming Xun's face was covered with dust, he repeatedly mispronounced the words and did not dare to speak any more.
Another woman with a square face glanced at Peng Shou's family, sarcastically, stepped forward and said: "Madam, I have a plan here. Since the beginning of spring, the masons have been working in three shifts, and they have three meals a day plus tea.
The dim sum is suitable for both young and old. I see that the old ladies in Chengyuan are very busy, so why not..."
Minglan didn't say a word, only frowned slightly, as if thinking about the possibility of this matter.
The old woman secretly took a look at Minglan's face, and quickly added: "We were originally in the kitchen. In the past, there were many chefs, and there were also many people in the kitchen. Although the two old ladies took some of the kitchens with them when they moved out, there was still no space.
There are so many people, and we are getting our monthly salary for nothing, and we feel uneasy."
Minglan nodded noncommittally. In fact, there were indeed insufficient manpower in Chengyuan. It was just enough to serve the master, but as soon as there were any side activities, she was immediately stretched. This problem has always troubled her.
"It's just that someone is taking care of this now..." Buying food is a tricky job.
Seeing that things were loosening up, the old woman quickly struck while the iron was hot: "No need to worry about it, Madam. The rest of us are just going to help the old sisters, and no one else dares to interfere."
Minglan concentrated for a moment and looked at her for a while: "Isn't this too troublesome for you? The foremen have to eat before dawn, so you have to walk a long way in the middle of the night. Is there... any other way?"
The old lady heard the hint in Minglan's words and raised her head in surprise: "Well...if Madam can be trusted, we will receive a sum of money in three days and prepare meals in the empty kitchen, just like the old sisters in Chengyuan."
, carry it over on time. Anyway, two of the construction sites are not far from our place, and all the pots and pans are ready. Madam, you see..." qx2E-PDL;
Minglan nodded and waved gently: "Sure. That's it."
The old lady immediately knelt down to thank her. She was very grateful and said good things about "Madam is kind and capable." The other ladies nearby looked on with envy and jealousy.
"You're from Fan An's family. When you get back, you go find Liao Yong's family and ask her to take you to pay the money. We'll do it in the middle of the afternoon. We'll start work tomorrow. If you can't make it in time, okay, that's it."
The Fan An family below was kowtowing like garlic. Minglan smiled and said, "But the ugly words are ahead. Since you have accepted my errand, you must follow my rules. If the meal is not good or the time is late, I will
But it’s not lenient.”
Fan An's head raised his head and said loudly: "If it doesn't work out, Madam, just use me as food and wine!"
Minglan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the maids in the room were also happy.
A few kitchen ladies, plus some wives and girls who did odd jobs, the fourth and fifth bedrooms didn't take them away when they left, and the wife and Mrs. Zhu didn't want them either. They just kept them idle until they were laid off. Such a group of people
, they have not been reused before, and they have not seen any opportunity to stand out since then. If they can be used, try it first. Later, you will find out the information of these people to see if it is true.
"Madam..." said another accountant, "then, this account?"
"The fortifications haven't been completed yet, so it's still the same as before. Each side is in charge of its own business. Your accountant only handles the three heads of the wife, the sister-in-law, and the younger brothers and sisters, and also handles the monthly payment for the staff, but you have to report the accounts to me. I'm here
According to the reconciliation rules, you go to Manager Hao every month to collect the money, then make a book and enter it... I don't need to teach you this. It used to be the past, and now is the present. The ancestors have the expense rules left by them.
, as the master is, so are the servants, we are like ants if we follow it.”
The old woman was secretly shocked when she heard this, thinking that you have blocked the input money. From now on, my accounting room is just a formality. If you ask me to fill it up, I will fill it up. If you tell me to empty it, I will keep it empty. "Then... if there is something important,
Well. I don’t have enough regular money in my account, what should I do?”
Minglan laughed for a while: "You mother is really funny. You have so much silver, if you can't get it out, no one will kill you. If anyone is in a hurry, just point to my accounting room and give it to them."
, ask him to come here to collect money! The money in your hand is for special use, just don’t use the money from buying cakes to buy powder!" The old woman understood, and secretly said that Minglan is very powerful.
Mr. Shao is a fortune-teller, Mr. Zhu wants an interview, but as for the wife of the wife... She would be embarrassed to come across such a long distance to ask for money. She would be embarrassed to buy an antique vase today and a jeweled headdress tomorrow. Gu Tingwei's mother and wife are both
Since he has a generous private fortune, he would not put his hands on the account to buy birds or horses. In fact, even if the mother and the father indulge in random purchases, Minglan has a countermeasure and asks the accountant to write down the clear money in detail, and wait for the separation.
On that day, the things were listed one by one and bought with public money. Naturally, they were not considered private property and were included in the household division items.
"Then what if the master is angry...?" The woman was still worried about herself.
Minglan interrupted her neatly and said slowly: "Now it's me who asks you to take charge of the accounting room. You can do it if I don't want to be angry."
Napo was enlightened and finally figured out the clues. First of all, the new lady looked very kind. She probably would not pursue the previous accounts and only asked to do a good job in the future. Secondly, from now on, her master would be her. If he
If she is dissatisfied, then the job is over.
Minglan held the white fungus soup and blew it slowly while slowly scanning the faces of the ladies below.
Because the wife did not expect that Gu Tingye would come back, in the past few decades, she had been paving the way for her son and running the Hou Mansion carefully. From the personnel management to the expenditure regulations, she basically knew how to reconcile and divorce.
There are so many corrupt things, even though these women in front of me are also capable and quick-witted, but they have very tricky eyes and like to watch what others do.
"Now that the seventh girl is out of the government, my eldest brother has not been out for three years. I don't think he will have a big banquet at home. It's just a festival. I invite relatives and friends to have a simple meal." Minglan put down the cup and handed over
Holding her slender fingers, she said slowly, "The Madam also said that she spent a lot of money before, but now her family is not well off, as you all know. I hope you will work hard."
In fact, as long as she lives according to her budget, she will never make ends meet, and she can still save some savings so that she can buy a dowry for Sister Rong, Sister Xian, and, oh, the little bastard in her belly.
A well-dressed woman came up with a smile, and said with a flattering look on her face: "Look what Madam said, now our Marquis is being reused by the Emperor, no matter how tight he is, can he still be in our house? Even if our servants go out, they will be in our house."
It’s also beautiful outside.”
Minglan looked at her quietly, and she stopped laughing.
"...Last year I was renovating a farm handed down by the Holy Father. There was a steward on the property. Although he was a slave of the Gu family, he still oppressed the good tenants and even killed him. The Marquis broke the steward's limbs.
He was sent to the Yamen of Yousi to be punished, and finally he was executed. The Marquis then sold the steward's family of seven, young and old, to Kilipachi."
The faces of the ladies turned pale, and the room was as quiet as a needle dropping.
"Also, in August last year, there were a few careless people in Chengyuan who conspired to do evil. When the Marquis found out, he directly sent those people to the northwest to do hard labor."
The Peng Shou family was shocked. She knew something about this matter from the ground up. At that time, Gu Tingyu had just passed away. In order to attend the funeral, Lai's mother traveled diligently between the two houses. Later, for some unknown reason, the Lai family's son was sued for favoritism.
Fu, was sent to the army, and Lai's mother's family, eight members in total, disappeared without a trace. Many people were also missing from Chengyuan, and no one knew where they were sold.
Since then, Chengyuan has become as strict as an iron fence.
"You are old people in the Gu family. You are older than the Marquis, and you have been married much longer than me." Minglan didn't mean to intimidate at all, she just said plainly, "What kind of personality is the Marquis?"
, you want to know more clearly than me."
What kind of personality is Gu Tingye? The women lowered their heads and looked at each other.
At the age of ten, he dared to ride a fierce horse through the market, injuring more than a dozen people along the way, and the old marquis paid him money and made countless gifts; at the age of twelve, he dared to grab his cousin Gu Tingyang's collar and push him into the cesspit, almost drowning the people.
He died (but he fainted when he was dragged up); at the age of thirteen, everyone rescued Gu Tingbing from the roof who had been hanging for half a night, but he was half dead from cold and fright; at the age of fourteen, he dared to tie up the grandson of Ling Guogong
After riding the horse, he was dragged around the school grounds for three times, and the Duke of Ling almost did not take the lawsuit to the imperial court. When he was sixteen years old, he even dared to challenge his boss, dared to talk back, dared to make a move, and kicked him down.
He kicked so many blind slaves until they vomited blood.
With such a strong reputation, the ladies couldn't help but shrink their necks.
Minglan wanted this effect, and she said coolly: "Let me tell you in advance, there are some things. Even if you bully me for being young and thin-skinned, and not being embarrassed by the old man, you still have to think about Mr. Hou. Anyway, if I don't have it someday,
If the law is over, I can only ask the Marquis for instructions."
This threat was very effective, and the wives honestly retreated.
Holding her belly in her hands, Minglan looked up at the roof, not daring to do too much needlework for fear of damaging her eyes. Although there are some entertainment activities in the evening, it is still boring. At this time, the most suitable activity is to play mahjong. It is not too much.
It tires the body and exercises the brain. Unfortunately, in order to maintain a good image, Minglan endures it.
The most hateful thing is that Xiao Shen made a request and wanted to go to ten temples to pray for blessings, but she actually encouraged her mother-in-law. Spring was just right at this time, and the weather was getting warmer day by day. Mrs. Zheng had been recovering at home for a long time, and she didn't know what to do.
I still had a few days to live, and suddenly I felt itchy. General Zheng and his wife were both extremely filial, and when their mother, who had always been quiet and unsolicited, expressed her desire to go out for an outing, they wanted to fulfill her mother's wish no matter what. In this way, little Shen started to fight
Under the guise of accompanying my mother-in-law, I went out to play happily.
You said it was just for her to go out on her own, knowing that Ming Lan was idle and musty at the moment, and she deliberately sent letters to her from time to time. The next moment she said, "The water in the mountain stream is great, I will bring you a basket of sour fruits later, they are crisp and fragrant."
; After a while, it was 'The scenery here is so good, standing on the top of the mountain, I almost want to climb to the top of the mountain' - this person who doesn't like reading also wrote a typo! It should be 'wind', okay!
Minglan became increasingly frustrated and began to seriously consider whether to break up with this semi-illiterate person!
It must be said that her mother-in-law's family still loved her. About seven or eight days later, Mrs. Wang brought her new daughter-in-law Liu and Hua Lan. Minglan greeted her with unprecedented enthusiasm, but unexpectedly she saw Mrs. Wang's face dark.
After Minglan asked her to take a seat, she went to look at the young woman standing beside her. She saw that she was wearing a thin satin jacket with red butterflies and silver squirrels, and a light peony red pleated skirt with two finger widths of black velvet trimmed with ten thousand blessings.
, her dark hair was neatly combed into a bun, she wore a red gold five-phoenix Chaoyang hairpin neatly on her head, and a pair of large pearl pendants beside her ears.
How should I put it? He is dressed very formally. There is nothing wrong with him from head to toe. He is a very formal person. From his standing posture to the angle of his eyes drooping, everything is as perfect as if it came out of a textbook. But what about his appearance... Xiao Tao's observation
That's right, although this bride is not ugly and has a bit of decorum, she does look quite...well, quite peaceful and peaceful.
"This must be the new sister-in-law. It's my turn to come and see her, but she's exhausted." Minglan saluted Mrs. Wang and quickly asked Ms. Liu to sit down. Hualan was already rude to her.
Sat down.
"Sixth sister, please stop saying that." Ms. Liu's voice was nice, quiet and gentle, "They are all from our own family. They are tired. You are so heavy now, and you should be like this."
Danju couldn't see that Minglan was still too lively while holding her belly, so she hurriedly helped her sit down. Minglan had already noticed that something was wrong with Wang. At this time, she couldn't say she looked "good", nor could she just talk about the situation. She
After thinking for a while, he quickly said: "My wife seems to have lost weight. I think she is tired these days. She needs to take good care of herself. My brother and sister-in-law are all outside, so I may feel distressed." By the way, she added a smile.
The frown appropriately shows concern and worry.
Hua Lan secretly told Minglan that she was so eloquent, and Ms. Liu couldn't help but look at her one more time. As expected, Ms. Wang's expression suddenly brightened, and she was relieved: "You are still a sensible kid. These days... oh, don't say it anymore.
, everything is not going well." After saying that, he gave Mrs. Liu a cold look.
Mrs. Liu was as motionless as a clay sculpture. Minglan hurriedly picked up and chatted with Mrs. Wang. Hualan seemed a little helpless and only came over to chat for a few words. Mrs. Liu never spoke much. The atmosphere was originally good, but who knew
Wang's words were full of resentment, and they were directly and implicitly directed at Liu, "My daughter-in-law is as docile as a cat, but there are some unlucky families who catch a wild cat and die because they don't understand the rules."
So lively..."
When Hualan saw Mrs. Wang coming again, she hurriedly said: "Mom, please stop being like this. My niece is not enough for you. Look at her getting older, don't patronize those who have nothing, brother."
I entrust my daughter to you, and you can teach her to read a few words and recite a few poems. See how sensible and well-behaved the brother in front of the old lady is. Just like ants can hold a pen and paint red in a certain way, you can also learn a little bit.
ah!"
Hua Lan didn't say it was okay. Wang became more and more angry and slapped the table hard: "Okay, okay! You are all right, I am the only one who is making trouble unreasonably! Come on, I have been here today, Minglan,
You take good care of her and don't be like your unlucky fifth sister who gave birth to a son and is now being abused all the time! I won't go to your mother-in-law's place either. Just go and say goodbye and we'll leave."
Minglan hurriedly stood up to persuade her to stay, but Wang insisted on leaving. Hua Lan couldn't help but said: "How about mother and siblings go back first, and I will stay for a while." Wang glared and said: "Whatever you leave, your sister will still want it."
Keep it up."
Hua Lan sighed and said: "Mom, I am going back to Yuan Mansion, and I am not on the same road with you. Besides, Sixth Sister and I have not seen each other for many days, and we sisters are not allowed to say more. I will go to Mrs. Tai's house later.
We must be polite, so as not to cause others to criticize us."
After all, it was her daughter. Although Wang was very angry, she agreed, and left like a gust of wind. Liu followed behind silently. Minglan was dumbfounded. She was so hot, could it be menopause?
Here we are.
After everyone left, Minglan quickly pulled Hualan into the back room, sat down comfortably, and served tea and tea.
Hua Lan looked at Minglan's belly and said with a smile: "I feel relieved to see your face is so red. The old lady is always worried that you are skinny and skinny." Minglan stroked her belly sadly: "Don't be fat.
It’s good to be too powerful, you can’t take it back.” Hua Lan laughed and scolded: “You stinky beauty, you still want to look good right now.”
The sisters came to ask each other a few questions. Minglan couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked: "What on earth is going on? Why is my wife so angry?"
Hua Lan took a sip of tea and sighed: "Don't mention it, my mother is running into obstacles these days. First, the fifth sister gave birth to a daughter. She was always worried that the fifth sister would be wronged at her husband's house, so she would go to the Wen family to make her angry.
I gave him some instructions. If the first two times were good, the old lady from the Wen family actually said that the girl is so expensive and needs two wet nurses to serve her, but she doesn’t want to give her any money, so she wants to talk nonsense!"
Minglan nodded repeatedly and was very appreciative. Hua Lan said again, "Oh... but in the final analysis, the fifth sister wants to live in the Wen family. Just say a few words, and my mother is too..." She chose a word with difficulty.
, "I have been there too many times, and every time I have to beat Mrs. Wen..." Minglan frowned slightly: "This is not good. As the days go by, no matter how good-tempered the fifth brother-in-law is, he will inevitably be unhappy."
"Who said it wasn't?!" Hualan took a bite of the fragrant and warm millet soft cake, "The old lady felt something was wrong, so she quickly called my mother and gave her a few words, but she seemed aggrieved. Alas.
, and then the third brother got married. My father felt that my mother was not caring about it, so he told her several times in front of the manager that she would not come down." Minglan said hurriedly: "My father is too worried, how could my wife be like this!"
It's someone's biological daughter, even if it's true, I can't say it.
Who would have thought that Hualan would be very fair: "It's not like dad just made the accusation out of thin air. Mom is in a bad mood, so it's inevitable that she will take her anger out on other things."
Minglan was silent and did not answer. Hualan continued: "Then a new sibling enters the forum. As for this sibling, it's not bad. From the second day of the wedding, she will honestly follow the rules for my mother. My mother's temper.
No, sometimes the words were a bit unpleasant, but my sister and I endured it without saying anything back. For two days in a row, I asked her to stand at the door with a basin in hand to wait on her, and she did so without saying a word. It was cold in the courtyard.
, just stand when you ask her to stand, kneel when you ask her to kneel, alas...it's true for my mother, looking at her from inside and outside, she can only say that her younger siblings are virtuous and filial, but my mother-in-law is too mean and ungrateful, and has no kindness.
heart of."
Minglan didn't have to think about what happened next. Someone must have taken action, "Dad, or the old lady?"
"It's dad." Hua Lan pursed her lips, "Dad and Mr. Liu have always been good friends. I promised you that I would never treat my daughter-in-law badly. But now my mother is torturing my daughter like this... This is not a slap on the father's part.
Damn it! My father has been holding back for several days. My mother has been acting like my mother-in-law recently, and she has become very angry. The two of them had a big fight, and even other things came out. My mother even deprived her siblings of food from the people in the courtyard.
The cost of wearing it, ugh... I tried to persuade her to do it, but it was of no avail."
Minglan was speechless for a while, then sighed, "What happened next?"
"Dad and the old lady have discussed it. From now on, she will have the final say on matters in the sister-in-law's courtyard. The food and clothing expenses will be paid directly to the general ledger, without having to go to mother's house. I thought she would be exempted from the rules of standing, and she is still the sister-in-law.
I insist on myself and go to my mother’s place to serve her every morning.”
Hua Lan's tone was astringent, and she didn't know whether she sympathized with her biological mother or was angry at her for not arguing, "Because my mother has been so angry these days that she was unwilling to bring her siblings to see you, so I volunteered to take the job, but unexpectedly the old lady gave birth to a child.
She was so angry that she couldn't ask her married aunt to lead her new daughter-in-law out. It's not like there was no one in the Sheng family, so she had to come. No, she was angry with the old lady again!"
Minglan didn't even have to sigh this time. The biggest tragedy in Ms. Wang's life is that both her enemies and her friends are at a higher level than her. The enemy's level is higher, so she can often win easily. The friend's level is too strong, which often leads to
Look down on her and don't want to communicate with her.
"I have a few Qingxin Pills here..."
Unexpectedly, Hua Lan waved her hand and said, "It's no use. Didn't you tell your mother to take the medicine? My mother takes it three times a day, and it won't work for a while." As a biological mother and daughter, she can't stand Wang's current temper. It's true.
Horribly violent.
"Then what should we do?" Minglan was worried about the old lady, but it was better not to get angry.
Hua Lan sighed helplessly: "I've asked the doctor if there's anything I can do. I just hope that this period of time will pass soon. I'll take medicine and talk about happy things to my mother, so that I can get better."
"What can I be happy about?" Minglan said worriedly.
"What else can there be? Auntie Lin has been tossing and turning in the village over and over again, and finally got tired after suffering several hardships. Now she is eating fast and chanting Buddha, and she has become extremely old. Also, the fourth sister is not pregnant yet.
Bar."
Minglan's heart for gossip was suddenly ignited. She now had another social circle, and she hadn't heard from Mo Lan for a long time. Not to mention her mother's bad temper, Hua Lan also gathered her energy to start talking.
"...Didn't my aunt have a good relationship with Mrs. Yongchang Hou? Wen Ying thought that she was my sister, so she often talked to me about it."
Mo Lan is still unable to conceive, so she cannot be entirely blamed, there are reasons for everything.
It turned out that on the day she gave birth, the nourishment was so good that the fetus was too big. Aunt Chunge screamed in pain for two days and two nights, but she did not give birth. By the time the fetus was born, she had already suffocated to death. The eldest lady of the Liang Mansion suspected that it was Mo Lan.
I made a lot of fuss because of the bad thing, but no matter how I checked, I couldn't find anything wrong. All the nourishing foods were of the highest quality. Even the imperial doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the food.
The eldest grandma had no choice but to give up, but this time the second mistress Liang was caught. The concubine of the Liang family had been fighting with the second wife of the concubine for a long time. Mo Lan had a sharp eye and quick skills, and keenly seized the opportunity. She cried in front of Liang Han and wanted to give up.
The book said that she was sincere to Aunt Chunge, which she could show off, but it made people suspicious without reason. She poured a basin of dirty water inexplicably, and she didn't want to live anymore. In order not to implicate her husband's family, she found the divorce letter as soon as she got it.
die.
Although Liang Han had a deep affection for Chun Ge, he also respected and cared for his first wife. Seeing that she had done nothing wrong in her words and deeds since entering the house, she was elegant, beautiful, and considerate. Now she was not very satisfied with her sister-in-law.
He thought it was Chunge who was complaining to his maternal cousin. The matter finally came to the attention of Marquis Yongchang. Marquis Liang severely reprimanded the eldest daughter-in-law and punished her. Thinking of Mo Lan's virtuous nature and seeing that the Sheng family was becoming more and more powerful, he decided to
He asked Mrs. Liang Hou to try to comfort him.
At this point in the battle, the direct descendants of the Liang family won a great victory. Mistress Liang became close to Mo Lan, and Mrs. Liang became much kinder. As a reward, she personally told Liang Han that she should have a direct descendant. Before that,
If you marry a concubine, you should take birth control pills.
"Isn't this pretty good?" Ming Lan asked doubtfully. She knew that with Mo Lan's scheming ability, she usually wouldn't do too badly.
Hua Lan rolled his eyes at her and continued telling the story.
The snake was beaten to death. Before Mo Lan could catch her breath, Chun Ge had already adjusted her mentality, worked hard to recuperate, dressed up properly, and entered the competition for favors again with a thunderous momentum. The good thing is that she suffered a serious injury during the birth, and her appearance was far away.
It was no longer as grand as before, and it was very likely that she would not be able to get pregnant again. The bad thing was that she actually changed her path to be weak, which made Liang Han pity her for a while.
Mo Lan held a piece of ginseng in her mouth, forced a smile, and introduced beautiful girls to her husband frequently with a posture that even an old bustard could not match. Liang Han was not a strong-willed person. No matter how much he cared about his first love, he could not avoid being fooled.
Cao Cao was confused. Today she is Xiao Hong, tomorrow she is Xiao Cui, and the next day is Huang. She is so romantic. Aunt Chun Ge has her heart broken, so she has no choice but to take a back seat.
Mo Lan's skills were so good that she could injure her enemy by a thousand and injure herself by eight hundred. Although she succeeded in diluting Chun Ge's love, she also created a house full of warblers and swallows, leaving her husband with little time to stay in his own house.
, and so far I have not been able to get pregnant.
In Ming Lan's view, Mo Lan's strategic policy is very correct. The most terrifying thing for a man is to have true feelings. As long as there are no true feelings and there are etiquette and family rules, those girls' intercourse is just a passing thing. When you get tired of it,
, pampered, then forgotten about it, Mo Lan, the main wife, is not in danger. But Chun Ge is not only Liang Han's beloved female ant, but also a concubine with a good background. It is really double trouble, the gun is pointed first
She is always right.
"Fortunately, the Liang family has many heirs. I guess it won't be a problem if the fourth sister is not pregnant for a while."
Hua Lan curled her lips and said sadly: "It's just these few years, I won't wait for seven or eight years. Alas, if Aunt Lin hadn't... forget it, she is her sister after all, look at her now
I don't feel comfortable fighting in the Liang Mansion."
Minglan nodded as she listened. After a while, she slowly tilted her head and stared at Hualan with a smile. According to her understanding of Hualan, although she sometimes likes to gloat about misfortunes, is domineering, and is a bit conceited, she is actually a decent and upright person at heart.
She hated Mo Lan at first, but now she pities and sympathizes with her. There must be something wrong!
Hua Lan made her feel numb and scolded: "Little girl, what are you looking at!"
Minglan deliberately prolonged her tone and said slowly: "My sister has been free recently and read two linen photo books. Looking at my sister's face today, her face is red, her cheeks are shiny, and her face is cloudy. I think it's...
It's just a good thing... Just tell me and make my sister happy."
Hua Lan listened to her nonsense, but couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth. Her face was full of spring breeze, and her whole body was plump and charming, exuding a mature charm. She smiled at the corner of her mouth: "I'm right to call you a ghost. There have been good things recently."
.First of all, our Aunt Zhang is pregnant."
Minglan looked confused: "Brother-in-law has married my aunt again?" What's so happy about this?
"You have no memory, she is my father-in-law's aunt!" Hua Lan almost shouted.
Minglan was yelled to the point where her eardrums shook, and then she suddenly realized, "That aunt, oh, my sister's mother-in-law, that..."
Hua Lan couldn't suppress her happiness and bit her lip: "My mother-in-law made a lot of troubles, but this is different. She can bully her daughter-in-law, but she can't attack her pregnant concubine! The first father-in-law will not let her go.
, then the old women, old uncles and grandmothers in the clan, and a large group of aunts came, some scolded, some scolded, and some advised. Now my mother-in-law has too much time to take care of herself, and she is scheming with her sister-in-law all day long...
..." The Yuan family doesn't have much property, and if they want to divide the property of Dafang, the Yuan family and his wife really can't sit still.
Minglan was also very happy for a while, and then became confused: "Is this the reason why my sister is so happy?"
"More than that." Hua Lan was very proud, with a rosy look on her face, "It's your brother-in-law." She paused, tried to calm down her excitement, and then said, "Your brother-in-law has taken a liking to a village in the suburbs of Beijing. The place is good and the water and soil are good.
It’s so popular that I want to buy it.”
Minglan stroked her palm: "Buying property is a good thing."
"A good thing is a good thing, but it's a pity that we don't have enough money."
Hua Lan said that she had no money, but her expression was very lingering. She only heard her whisper: "A few years ago, your brother-in-law went to work outside the country and tamed a very handsome horse. He loved it as much as his life, and he would not let anyone go."
Touch it. But this time, he gritted his teeth and sold the horse, went home and scraped together some more, and bought the property. I was also puzzled at the time, why did your brother-in-law change his gender? Who knew he would use that property?
The land deed was handed over to me, saying that he had promised to make up for my dowry in full! It turns out that he had been secretly searching for suitable farms for several days!" Her eyes shone, and her fingers moved slightly.
Trembling, excitement and joy almost bursting out.
Minglan let out a soft sigh, and then praised loudly: "Brother-in-law is really a promise worthy of a thousand dollars!"
Hua Lan was drunk with sweetness, and her eyes were slightly moist: "He said that now he finally understands. Father and mother are brothers and sisters, and brothers have their own families. Only me and a few children are the only ones who are really the only ones."
It’s for him alone. If he doesn’t share his heart with me, who else can he share his heart with? Your brother-in-law also said that he will never let me suffer any injustice in the future. He wants me to feel at ease and comfortable in the future.”
Minglan was speechless. Is this the same elder brother-in-law Yuan Wenshao who could speak so well? She was moved when she heard it: "This is really great. My eldest sister's ten years of grievances have not been in vain."
.”
Hua Lan took out the handkerchief and pressed it to the corners of her eyes, choking and saying: "I only hope that my sincerity can be exchanged for my sincerity. I treat him sincerely and hope that he will not let him down. Now I finally..." She choked with tears.
Minglan was immediately impressed by the woman in front of him and admired her greatly. It was not easy to be able to successfully educate Yuan Wenshao's upright and upright filial piety and bring him back from the cliff of foolish filial piety! During this long struggle,
In the history, Ms. Hualan was unyielding, consistent, and never had a mental abnormality. She finally defeated the evil mother-in-law, which is really touching.
"...I went to Rulan's place and advised her in the same way. She must not have a crooked mind. Treat her brother-in-law well, be filial to your elders, and treat your sisters-in-law well. People's hearts are full of flesh. My brother-in-law is also a smart man and will definitely cherish her.
of."
Hua Lan wiped her tears and said intermittently. Ming Lan laughed in her heart. Ru Lan hated being taught a lesson, especially Hua Lan's reprimanding lesson. Ru Lan was feeling depressed at this moment.
Putting down the handkerchief, Hua Lan was filled with happiness and whispered firmly, "I don't look forward to anything else now. Your brother-in-law said that in a few years, he might be able to take up a foreign job. Then we can take the children and relax outside.
It’s better to live a happy life as a family. Before now, no matter how hard my mother-in-law makes things for me, or if my sister-in-law makes trouble, I can tolerate it.”
Originally she just wanted to listen to a piece of gossip to relieve her boredom, but instead she received an education. Minglan deeply reflected on whether she was not sincere enough to Gu Tingye. Many times, when something happened, she always thought of her own gains and losses first, and secondarily.
It's Gu Tingye, but how can a man's love be as reliable as his own love for himself? What if the man is unreliable? Then everything is lost.
Is this kind of thinking too selfish?
In other words, loving oneself and selfishness cannot be equated, but how to grasp this boundary in the relationship between men and women.
Minglan fell into deep thought. This is a guideline issue, very serious.
The author has something to say:
Regarding convulsions, in theory everyone should use their brains, diversify their methods, brush several times, use different methods, different angles, different approaches, brush more, brush harder, brush harder. Believe me, dears, everything can be brushed.
