Because Sun Shaozong was going on a business trip to Fengxiang for more than ten days, Yingchun told Sun Shaozong in advance that he would also live in the Lin Mansion. The young sisters had not seen each other for a long time, and Sister Feng and Yingchun left their sons and daughters to Queen Daiyu.
People gathered together to chat.
After a few chats, Baochai asked Sister Feng about Tanchun as both the welcoming of spring and the joy of spring were in front of her.
When Sister Feng talked about Tanchun, she couldn't help but sigh: "The second wife didn't know where she found out that the Prince of Xining County was going to choose a concubine this year, so she planned to let the third sister run for the election. Poor third sister, she doesn't dare to take a step now.
When I left the mansion, I was afraid that if I saw something good, I would be sent as a concubine by the second wife."
After hearing this, Baochai blinked and said nothing.
Yingchun could only sigh: "The second wife is her legitimate mother. If she makes the decision, what's the use of other people's opinions?"
Xichun also said: "The ancestors can't control the second wife now?"
Sister Feng smiled bitterly and said: "How can our ancestors take care of the second wife now? Second sister, Baoyu's marriage has been decided."
"Huh? When did it happen?"
"Just what happened a few days ago." Sister Feng talked about what happened: It turned out that some time ago, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang went to the palace to meet Concubine Xian De. Yuanchun had clearly told Jia Mu that she had heard about the appearance of Xia Jingui, a girl from the Osmanthus Xia family.
Ju Jia, now that the marriage is engaged, let’s get married as soon as possible. After hearing this, Jia’s mother calmly said nothing and said that now Miss Xia has become Bao’s second mistress. I heard that she is doing embroidery at home every day to prepare for the wedding.
After Sister Feng finished speaking, she smiled and said to Baochai: "The second wife only thinks about the millionaire Xia family and despises the poor family. I heard that when you gave me a dowry, when the second wife knew about it, she broke how many blue and white porcelains she broke?"
.
Baochai just smiled slightly, shook his head and said nothing.
After all, Mrs. Wang is also her aunt.
Yingchun married into the Sun family and gave birth to a son. She straightened her waist and dared to say many things. At this time, she sighed: "The second wife is so handsome. In fact, even without Sister Bao's dowry, she should know about Cousin Lin."
The ability to make money.”
Xichun curled her lips and said: "My ancestors are only thinking about Sister Lin, but Cousin Lin is such a smart person, how can he agree to it?"
Sister Feng nodded and said: "In terms of people's abilities, even ten second wives can't compare to our ancestors. She also loves Baoyu and wants the best for Baoyu in everything. But the second wife relies on the empress in the palace and refuses.
Fu Di, I insist on not dealing with my ancestors. It's good now, even if I don't like the Xue family, I just married the Xia family, and Baoyu is incompetent, I don't know what will happen in the future."
She was afraid that Baochai would think too much, so she held her hand and smiled and said: "The second wife looks down on merchants, but the real uncle treats merchant women as treasures, so even if they are close relatives, they cannot see it because of their limited experience."
Treasured.”
Baochai understood the cause and effect, so naturally he didn't take it to heart. He just smiled and said: "I heard that Miss Xia can support the family business even though she is young. It seems that Brother Bao can pick up the treasure. I don't think this golden and jade match can become a good match."
It’s a lovely talk.”
Xichun nodded and said: "If someone can support the family business, I'm afraid he won't be manipulated by the second wife, and there might be another fight between dragons and tigers."
Yingchun said: "In fact, if Baoyu can have a daughter-in-law who can support the family business, it is also his good fortune." Yin asked again: "Where is Sister Yun? Why haven't I heard any news about her recently?"
Xichun asked to wash the pen, pour tea and get melon seeds.
Yingchun had no choice but to look at Sister Feng. Sister Feng said helplessly: "She was picked up by the Shi family and married."
Yingchun said in surprise: "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me any news? When is the date set? It's easy for us to put on makeup, right?"
Baochai had not been preparing for her marriage during this period. After marrying into the Lin family, she felt happy both physically and mentally. The young couple knew about Shi Xiangyun's affairs and gave him generous gifts, but they did not know the specific situation at this time.
I couldn't help but look at Sister Feng.
Xichun sneered.
Sister Feng sighed: "She and Baoyu play together every day. During the Cold Food Festival, the two stayed up until midnight to play poems alone, and were caught by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. You know that in our house, the mouths are the most broken. This
The story was spread unfavorably among the superiors and subordinates. The second wife was so angry that she killed several of the mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law who had spread the rumors the most, and stopped the news from spreading. Then, regardless of the face of the ancestors, she used
Someone sent a letter to Mrs. Shi. After receiving the letter, Mrs. Shi immediately sent a few stout women to Beijing, saying that they were going to pick her up for marriage and directly dragged her away. During the Chinese New Year, the Shi family gave New Year gifts to those who
She said that she had got married at the end of May, and the ancestors were surprised. The second wife stood up and said that Mrs. Shi sent someone over in May to say that she had also bought gifts, but at that time the ancestors
She had a cold, so she didn't dare to disturb her and didn't mention it. Later, when the New Year was approaching, she was busy and forgot about it. She only remembered it when someone came here today. After saying that, she knelt down to apologize to her ancestors. "
Yingchun was stunned: "Second Madam, this, this..., my God, she, she is too bold, isn't she?"
Baochai nodded secretly.
Based on her knowledge, she also felt that Mrs. Wang did the right thing.
But it's more sympathy.
It's hard for my aunt to have a son like this who doesn't understand anything.
Sister Feng sighed: "If Sister Yun hadn't gone too far, why would the second wife be like this? Second sister, you don't know that the second wife killed four mothers-in-law and six daughters-in-law that day, and she even watched them in person.
The whole family sold out seven or eight elderly people in our house to stop the rumors in the house. After all, this matter was too big and too shameful. Our ancestors also knew that the second wife had a grudge in her heart, so when she saw her like this, he didn't care.
What did she say? She just ordered Yuanyang to make up a private gift for Sister Yun. Other sisters and I also made up the gift. Sister Qianerbao, Sister Lin, Sister Qin, and Sister Xing all made up the gift after hearing about it, and entrusted it to me.
Bring it to her. If you want to make up for it, give it to me. Anyway, it’s cheaper if I ask Lin Zhixiao to send it too."
When Yingchun heard about it, he quickly ordered someone to send a message to Si Qi and ordered her to buy a generous amount of makeup and send it over.
Xichun threw away the melon seeds in her hand and said: "Second sister, I tell you, don't be too kind to her. She is just careless. The Shi family has left, and the Ye family she married has also come to give New Year's gifts. It's good for her."
, I didn’t deliver anything, but I sent a letter back, and my ancestor burst into tears after reading it.”
"Ah?" Yingchun said in surprise: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xichun said: "I still feel wronged. She wrote a letter saying that the rules of the family she married into were very bad. Master Ye's mother and wife spoke vulgarly and made some nonsense from time to time, which made her uncomfortable. Those two people
I'm used to suffering again, and suddenly I'm rich. I behave like a nouveau riche. I want everything from gold to jade. I don't eat anything unless it's rouge rice, and I don't drink good tea unless it's tribute. But...
They didn’t understand those elegant ways, so they made it look like a cow drinking, which was extremely ugly. Later, when she told her about our family’s rules, they made a fuss about using wild ginseng to make ginseng Yangrong pills. And her sister-in-law said it was
Mei Hanlin's daughter also came from a poor background. Although she learned the rules from her grandma, she was still half-baked. In this way, the family thought her sister-in-law was extremely nice. Not only did her sister-in-law manage the house, but everything went smoothly.
She was looking at her sister-in-law. She had very short-sighted eyes. Seeing that the jewelry she wore was pretty, he would come over to borrow it every time she went out. Once or twice, she would be fine. But if it happened too much, she would not be happy and refused. His sister-in-law was with them.
She said bad things about her in front of her family, saying that she was a well-behaved woman, a daughter of a wealthy family, and looked down upon them."
