Mrs. Yu, to be precise, she should be the former Mrs. Yu. Her maiden name is Fang. Her father and ancestors have held high positions many times and are famous, so she became the step-daughter-in-law of the Yu family as a concubine. However, when it comes to the Yu Fang family,
, has shown signs of decline. ~After Yu Fang was deported to her natal family, her eldest brother Mr. Fang also went to the Yu family to argue, but was dragged into the study by Mr. Yu Ge to talk, and he never said anything again.
The reasons, according to what is said in the market, are that the Fang family is now in decline, and most of the grandchildren are unfaithful, so there is no confidence to defend against the Yu family; the second is that the brothers and sisters have the same father, so they have a common affection, and Mr. Fang does not
How much effort do you have to put in; three... It is said that Mr. Yu Ge is very eloquent.
After being dismissed and returned to the clan, the Fang family actually did not give much trouble to the Yu Fang family. After all, her children still stayed in the Yu family and were raised by Yu Ge and his wife. If they were to be successful in the future, the Yu Fang family might not be able to make a difference.
It's a pity that Yu Fang's life was too good in the first half of his life.
When she was a daughter, her biological mother doted on the inner house, her father loved her as much as life, and she would give her whatever she wanted. Even her direct sisters did not dare to compete with her for the limelight. After she got married, she worked for more than ten years with Mr. Yu outside, and devoured her husband.
Die and take off, tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, once she became a divorced woman, she still couldn't change her bossy nature. She beat people and scolded dogs all day long, and argued endlessly with her sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. She couldn't stay in the Fang family any longer, and was eventually sent to the outskirts of Beijing.
Baiyun Temple leads hair training.
Originally, her story has come to an end, but who knows when these two old witches will get together again.
"...Remember when we just separated from the third master, Yu Da...oh no, didn't Yu Fang come to look for the dowager, but she screamed out, why now...?!" The best
The train of thought cannot be understood by honest people.
Lu Zhi was much sharper and said disdainfully: "What kind of things can the two of them have to say? When they get together, they are just thinking about how to harm others!"
Minglan was quiet for a while and said: "Ignore them. Even if it doesn't happen, we can't be less vigilant."
He lowered his head and flipped through the account book, then raised his head and said, "Ask Manager Hao to pass a message over there, saying that Mrs. Yu Fang is not a good person and has evil intentions. It would be best for Madam to have less contact with her."
Luzhi responded and was about to go out. Cui's mother hesitated and said: "Madam, you are saying this for nothing. My wife will not listen."
Minglan smiled slightly: "Bai Rao has a lot to say in this world. Just treat it as a relative."
After hearing this, Luzhi immediately opened the curtain and went out to deliver the message without further delay. Manager Hao was experienced in doing things and had called back and forth in just half a day. He quickly came to reply to Minglan. After the message was passed in, Mrs. Hao only sneered a few times.
He said, "Since you can't save me from death, stop talking nonsense and ask your wife to take care of yourself. It's not her turn to care about anything else."
Minglan was not surprised at all. She stopped Cui's mother who was angry and asked Hao Dacheng to go down and rest.
This incident was like a small pebble, which only caused a few micro ripples, and then returned to calm. From then on, every day, Minglan continued to be a housekeeper, teaching the little fat boy how to speak, checking the two girls' homework, and listening to the little Shen family's gossip at the Princess's Mansion.
Interesting stories about the second wife, I sometimes worry about how Ruomei’s belly is like an inflated balloon. [Ye*] [*]
After the two families began to get engaged, Xiao Changdong finally knew that he had an extra fiancée. He carried his old mother down the mountain and actually carried a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry. The rate of return was higher than selling white powder. Sure enough, good people are rewarded.
Under the spring sunshine of March, one day after school, Xiao Changdong avoided his friends all year round and came to Minglan's place. He said he came to see Sixth Sister, but he couldn't express what he meant and his face turned red as blood.
Minglan pretended not to know what was going on, and talked about him. One moment, he said that the Shen family's father-in-law was good at swordsmanship, and he could directly repair the son-in-law's misbehavior in the future. The other moment, he said that the Shen family's second brother was quite knowledgeable, and they could learn from each other after they got married.
——He just didn’t get to the point! He kept scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously, with smoke rising from his head.
Cui's mother was a kind person. She rolled her eyes at Minglan, pulled the boy and said gently: "Brother Dong, don't worry, your sister has seen that girl with her own eyes. She is unmistakable. She is virtuous and kind. Qian'er sent me a purse."
, the needlework is also of high quality.”
Xiao Changdong's eyes shone when he heard it, and he said softly, but he still secretly glanced at Minglan, but he hesitated to speak.
Minglan knew it well, and immediately waved her arm boldly: "Mother Cui, ask me to tell you; there are some things you don't understand." Then she pulled her younger brother over and smiled with evil intentions, "Fourth brother, then
The girl gave birth to..."
Xiao Changdong's heart was in his throat and his ears were on end; Minglan was amused.
——"Just like Mother Cui."
Xiao Changdong immediately opened his mouth and looked at Cui's mother's solemn face.
Minglan pretended to comfort her and patted her younger brother on the shoulder, "When you marry a virtuous wife, the most important thing is to have a virtuous and capable wife."
Changdong was filled with despair and lowered his head. He was at a loss and almost cried.
Cui's mother couldn't bear it any longer, so she quickly pulled the boy over and said repeatedly: "Brother Dong, don't listen to your sister. She loves to make fun of others lately. That girl is so pretty!"
Hoping to return to the world, Xiao Changdong took in a breath of warm air and looked at Cui's mother gratefully; over there, the evil-minded sister was lying on the kang with her belly in her hands, beating the bed and laughing wildly.
After spending a few days in such fun and contentment, an unexpected person came to visit. It was Mrs. Zhu. Minglan was also stunned for a moment, and after being silent, she uttered two words - 'Invitation'.
Cui's mother was worried, so she not only sent several healthy women to wait outside the house, but also personally led Xiao Tao and others to watch aside, pretending not to care and serving tea and water, but her eyes were like an old harrier's. Seeing this battle, Mrs. Zhu
He just smiled bitterly but didn't say anything.
The two sisters-in-law sat opposite each other for half a cup of tea before Mrs. Zhu slowly said: "My mother-in-law didn't know I came here today. She just thought I was returning to my parents' home..." She showed a self-deprecating smile, "
Anyway, I often go back to my parents’ house recently.”
Minglan raised her eyebrows slightly, expressing confusion.
Mrs. Zhu stared into her eyes and said softly: "My mother-in-law came to see you that day because of sister Tingcan's affairs. You are always smart and you have expected it, so you don't want to see her. ~"
Minglan didn't say a word, but said: "I think the first person that Mrs. Tai asked for help is you, my direct sister-in-law."
Zhu shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "This is not the first time for sister Tingcan. Although Uncle Taiping's mansion is a little thin, in the eyes of the royal family, it is still worth a few pounds." After a pause, he said briefly.
Smiling lightly, "My parents and sister-in-law are very good people. My ex-son has promised me that my eldest niece will be our good brother in the future."
Minglan nodded.
The eldest granddaughter of Uncle Taiping was betrothed to a branch of the Marquis who had no title or authority. The Zhu family brothers and sister-in-law were indeed quite kind; even if Gu Tingye ignored him in the future, brother Xian's future would still be protected by the Zhu family. In other words, well
Steel should be used on the blade. A married woman should not ask her parents for help too frequently, otherwise, even the best brother and sister-in-law will be annoyed.
"My mother-in-law told me several times, but I didn't respond. She got angry and scolded me for being unfilial. Her words mentioned my father and brother. I couldn't help but argue, even if she is not the daughter-in-law of the princess, she is sister Tingcan's daughter-in-law.
How can her words and deeds be worthy of her mother-in-law's standing up for her?" Mrs. Zhu unconsciously raised her voice, as if she had been holding back her anger for a long time and was now pouring out all her thoughts.
"To be offended, my second sister-in-law and I both have children. If sister Tingcan becomes a daughter-in-law like this, I'm afraid she will be very angry. I won't talk about Xiao Xing'er, just talk about filial piety.
The princess's first two daughters-in-law have already given birth to children, and there are still rules to be established. She has only served for two days, and she is extremely sick. She has to go to the doctor and take medicine. Her uncle said a few words to her, and she burst into tears.
She burst into tears and said that my uncle did not sympathize with her or pity her..."
Mrs. Zhu was so excited when she said this that a thin blush appeared on her face. After she said this, her mother-in-law made her stand for an hour.
Minglan had a dark look on her face.
It is said that as soon as Mrs. Da Qin came in, she served her mother-in-law for half a meal. Mrs. Zeng’s chopsticks were still stretched out in the air, so she fainted in front of a room full of maids and sisters-in-law.
Huoshan Xiaogu Yankai hurried back, holding Da Qin in his arms and refusing to let go. The iron-blooded man on the battlefield was about to shed tears, kowtowing and crying to his parents. The old couple were first frightened by the eldest daughter-in-law.
Half dead, half angry to death, and with such a result after half a meal, Da Qin's matter of establishing rules can only be dropped.
When the story was reported back to the Qin family, Dongchang Hou and his wife were full of praise. The young Qin family was probably very impressed when they heard about it, so they promoted it to their daughter as an advanced deed.
Oh my god, oh my god... Minglan could only be speechless when encountering such idiotic fans.
Mrs. Zhu talked happily until the newlyweds came in. Ting Can was so angry that she refused to eat. Unfortunately, she only lasted for two days before she failed. She accepted the tea on the third day. She just stroked her chest and breathed slightly, which was considered a farewell.
After a few paragraphs, she gave a startled smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't laugh at me. It's really not easy to say this."
Minglan poured tea for her with her own hands, smiled kindly and softly, and sat quietly waiting for the next step. Although the two of them had not gotten along for a short time, she knew that Mr. Zhu was an absolutely practical and sensible person and would not talk to her without any reason.
Mrs. Zhu sighed, looked at Minglan and said sincerely: "As a daughter-in-law, I can't do anything about the elders' matters. But I always think that when the children grow up in the future, Brother Tuan and Brother Xian will still be cousins.
If you want a wife or do errands, you have to go back and forth."
Minglan pondered for a moment, then raised her face and said with a smile: "That's natural. With younger siblings raising them up well, I think the children of my third uncle will be sensible in the future." She understood Zhu's intention here.
Mrs. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and held Minglan's hands, "There are so many second sisters-in-law. It's really a blessing for our family."
Before sending her off, Mrs. Zhu smiled and consoled Minglan: "My second brother is not here, and my sister-in-law is alone at home with a bulging belly. I think she is looking through the eyes. My mother-in-law said that there was a message here a few days ago, and my sister-in-law is here alone."
And wait patiently.”
Zhu's father and brother are both in the army. Even if they are not serving in front of the battle, they are better informed than ordinary people.
As expected, just two days later, the military report from the front arrived in Beijing - Jie Nu took advantage of the convenient location and the nimbleness of his wild cavalry, making him elusive and difficult to capture; several armies searched for the enemy everywhere, but there were victories and losses.
Among them, Uncle Shen was lucky enough to catch King Jienu Zuoguli's tribe who was looting the village. He put up a beautiful blockade and returned with a ten-mile-long capture and King Zuoguli himself.
On the way to the teacher, the emperor and empress were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.
On the other side of Laoshuai Bo, the momentum was overwhelming all the way, and the troops were as strong as going to the World Expo. Not only did Jie Nu dare not take advantage of him, but even the bandits and bandits who had been a long-established business in the northwest for decades temporarily suspended their operations and avoided leaving. Naturally,
Nothing gained.
What is weirder is the news that Gu Tingye reported along the way: the British army was greedy for power and advanced rashly, causing the lone army to penetrate deep and cut off its support. They ambushed in the Heishui River area and lost several generals. They were now defeated and retreated to Heying Mountain to seek help.
Fuling.
A British man came in unexpectedly?! Minglan frowned. This was as unreliable as saying that Father Sheng was a passionate young man.
The British Duke and Mr. Shen Ge, who became an official earlier, are basically of the same species. They are a slippery old fox for thousands of years and a tumbler for thousands of years. Even if you change the emperor every year, I will never fail. Even if I return without success, I will not rush forward.
Taking credit?
After Xiao Shen finished reporting the news she heard from the Queen, her face was very ugly. She was happy for her brother, but also worried about Minglan. Her expression was really hard to control. Fortunately, Minglan didn't turn pale and cry like an ordinary woman.
Although he had runny eyes, he thanked her very calmly and asked her to tell her as soon as he had any news.
After sending little Shen away, Minglan sat in a daze for a long time. Mother Cui urged her several times before she went to eat and sleep.
——I can’t tell whether it’s fear, worry, or some other deep-seated emotion, like a thin layer of mist, covering everything, but it’s hard to explain.
As long as it's not rebellion or anything like that, it shouldn't be a case of ransacking your home and causing harm to your wife and children.
Then, the worst-case scenario is that he will become a widow early. Fortunately, Tuan Geer and Du Dui have good relations with the emperor and the Shen family, so they will probably take care of their orphans and widowed mothers.
Being promoted to dowager at a young age means that you can save decades of hard work and directly switch from serving the boss to being your own boss. Thinking about it this way, it seems quite good.
She had nightmares one night after another, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember what she had dreamed about. The pillow was wet and cold, as if everything was unreal after the yellow beams had passed. She sat blankly on the bedside, watching the sky change from gray to bright.
I didn't even feel hungry, I just wanted to sit down like this until he came back.
Can't cry, can't cry - she said to herself over and over again.
You must hold on. The more times this happens, the stronger you must be without any weakness.
After the news spread, the dowager first sent someone to say a few sarcastic words, pretending to be concerned, "Brother Ye, please don't let anything happen to you." Minglan immediately sent her greetings back, "I heard that Grandma Qi Gu has been in trouble recently."
Congratulations on having a sister.”
Then came several colleagues who had always been close to each other, including Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Duan who came to comfort them (their husbands and sons-in-law followed Uncle Shen Guo), Mrs. Geng who came to sympathize with each other (Old Geng followed Gu Tingye), and Mrs. Zhang who came to cheer up.
——
"Has an imperial edict been issued to reprimand? Has the Ministry of War issued an official report? Everything is still in the clouds, and the court has not yet made a final decision. I am waiting for women to start making random guesses. Isn't it funny!" said the former standard female literary youth.
Mrs. Zhang, at this moment, is showing her true nature as a tiger girl, and she is more calm and composed in her dealings with others than before.
"Growing up, every time my father went out, my mother would say something - good luck has its own destiny, and disasters cannot be avoided. My dear sister, as family members of military commanders, we are most afraid of chaos at this moment. Are you pregnant again?
When you're pregnant, don't listen to other people's opinions. Getting pregnant in a hurry is the top priority."
Minglan was moved in her heart, like a warm current rushing through her. She hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm and whispered: "Sister, don't worry, you can tell me all the news. I will never imitate that woman's crying and flustered behavior. I will die.
The more I know about life, the more confident I am; it would really scare me if my eyes were completely black."
Mrs. Zhang felt relieved when she saw her clear eyes and steady attitude.
In the next few days, people continued to come to the door. Liu and Hualan came to see Minglan respectively, telling her to take good care of the baby and not to be alarmed. Then the fourth and fifth bedrooms came to inquire about the news anxiously.
The eldest wife Minglan personally comforted and explained a few words, and left the crying Ruomei to take care of the rest. They cried into a sea of tears or worshiped Buddha together and prayed for blessings.
Just let outsiders think that she is 'worried about her husband's safety'.
After being in such trouble for more than half a month, Ming Lan was so annoyed that she couldn't even read the unofficial history books. The fetus in her belly became more and more obedient, and only kicked twice in protest when her mother couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
As time passed, Minglan slowly calmed down and continued to calm down the panic in the house. However, others could not see this change and only thought that Mrs. Guhou had always been so calm.
On this day, Boss Tu personally handed in a letter. The envelope was folded and torn. When he opened it, he found a very small eight-petaled begonia in the upper left corner of the letter. Gu Tingye, line two, Minglan, line six - exactly
It was one of the secret messages he told her before leaving.
Minglan hurriedly read the letter, snorted disdainfully, with a look of contempt on her face, and said to herself with a sneer: "It came so fast! Okay, come on then, I'll welcome you!"
