The new sister-in-law is so young and energetic. After Shen Zanghui leads the people back to the Xiangning uncle's house, Mr. Liu and Mr. Duanmu have no choice but to express their grievances in front of Mrs. Su. Of course, they would not directly say bad things about Pei Meiniang. This is what Ms. Liu said: "It's because the daughter-in-law didn't think well and thought about making a fuss after entering the bridal chamber. This has always been the custom. It's not good if the bridal chamber is not lively. On the contrary, Unexpectedly, the fourth brother and sister also suffered a day, and their bodies couldn't bear it. Although the fourth brother and sister don't think it's strange, the daughter-in-law has to apologize to the mother. After all, the daughter-in-law didn't think carefully. "
Duanmu, who was immediately choked by Pei Meiniang, pinched the handkerchief with a concerned look on her face and said: "My sister-in-law is right, and the fourth sister-in-law reminded my daughter-in-law that the second aunt left early, and now the fourth sister-in-law said it The younger brothers and sisters will be the masters of the family as soon as they enter the house, but the fourth younger brother and sister are so weak that they can't even survive a bride ceremony. How can the masters of the family bear the worries in the future? "
Although Wei Changying also felt that Pei Meiniang was a little too proud, but now that the Liu family and the Duanmu family had taken revenge, she was too lazy to join in the fun, so she just sat there quietly drinking tea without saying a word.
Mrs. Su looked at the three daughters-in-law and asked calmly: "Then what do you think we should do now?"
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu looked at each other and said in unison: "To take care of the health of the four younger brothers and sisters, it is better to choose someone to share the worries with them." They were just about to incite Mrs. Su to stuff a few useful people into Shen Zanghui's backyard. He has a concubine from the city government.
"Then what kind of person should we choose?" Mrs. Su continued to ask patiently, "Is it the servant in charge, or someone else?"
Hearing that Mrs. Su's tone was not quite right, Madam Liu quickly apologized and said, "That's what the daughters-in-law said, and it's up to the mother to make the decision. After all, the fourth brother and sister are not in good health, so it's better not to tire her."
"Before, Zangzhu was in charge of the house. If Mei Niang couldn't manage it well, Zangzhu would help her." Mrs. Su took a sip of tea, raised her eyelids and glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law, and hummed, "What happened to Zanghui?" He is the son of your second uncle! Your second aunt passed away early, so she asked me to raise him for a few years. Although people say that it is better to be kind than to be kind, but I can't rely on kindness to my direct nephew. It's a serious matter! Now that Xiangning has a new mistress, we shouldn't bother with her anymore, let alone give her a gift! Why do you think that Pei Meiniang is not qualified now that she has been here for a few days? Good family? Even if it’s not good, it’s because they took the initiative to mention it, so we have the right to intervene. Let me warn you, your father and your second uncle have a deep love for each other, and they also hope that their children and grandchildren will live in harmony for generations. Don't blame us elders for asking how your parents raised their daughters because of trivial matters."
Before Wei Changying came in, he had heard people say that Mrs. Su valued rules, but after coming in, he felt that although her mother-in-law could not compare with her biological mother, she was still a mother-in-law who treated her daughter-in-law with dignity. This was the first time she heard Mrs. Su lecturing her daughter-in-law. Although she was mainly talking about the Liu family and the Duanmu family this time, as Wei Changying sat and watched his sisters-in-law scheme against their younger siblings, Mrs. Su still glanced at her coldly. Dare not to apologize with the sisters-in-law: "It's the wives who are confused! Please punish my mother!"
After letting them bow for a long time, Mrs. Su said coldly: "I'll let you go for now, but I won't let you off the hook next time! Just mind your own affairs in your own room! Let's work together The Taifu Mansion is so busy that you can't wait to plot against your cousin-in-law as soon as she comes in? You don't even bother to take care of your own room, but you can't wait to reach out to your sister-in-law's yard! Fortunately, you know how to pick your husband first! Tell me when you go back, otherwise it won't be my turn to say this to you in such an angry voice! I wonder if they won't discipline you first!"
The three daughters-in-law's faces were all blue and white, and they were so embarrassed that they could not leave the stage. After beating them repeatedly, Mrs. Su let them go.
Wei Changying originally wanted to ask if he could visit his eldest aunt Wei Shengxian tomorrow or the next day. Seeing this situation, he did not dare to mention it, so he had to leave together in dismay.
After leaving the upper room, Mrs. Liu's originally respectful and regretful expression changed, becoming cold and full of evil spirit. She looked around and saw that only the three servants, her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, were there, and asked her two younger siblings with a sneer: "What a shame, the fourth younger brother and sister." So majestic and dignified! She was a talented person, but before the tea was served, we were embarrassed! Now she even asked my mother to give us such a harsh words in the more than ten years since I came here. Ah! Although we, the four younger brothers and sisters, are not of high origin, we are really beyond appearances!"
Duanmu pulled the veil and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. We have made our mother unhappy. The third younger brother and sister have no intention of embarrassing the fourth younger brother and sister. My elder sister-in-law said that, how can I call her third younger brother and sister?" Aren’t you embarrassed? Are you following my sister-in-law’s advice or persuading her?”
The two sister-in-laws sang together to force Wei Changying to express his position. Originally, Wei Changying was not very happy because Mrs. Su used a gun and a stick to punish Pei Meiniang. He planned to return to Jintong Courtyard with Huang. Let's discuss carefully how to treat Pei Meiniang in the future. Now being forced by the two sisters-in-law, she felt disgusted and said calmly: "Anyway, the fourth brother and sister are in the same room as us. I think although my mother doesn't like us talking about the second uncle's room, she doesn't force her either. So we have to interact with the fourth brother and sister? Since we don’t like each other, we can have less interaction from now on. Originally, we don’t go to the second uncle’s place every day.”
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu were very dissatisfied with her answer. Mrs. Duanmu sneered and said, "Third brother and sister, before you came here, I heard that you were very favored at home, and you must have a bit of a temper. But I don’t want you to be so easy to talk to, so I’ll let it go. You and my sister-in-law have been busy these days with the four younger brothers and sisters. My sister-in-law has even neglected Shu Ming’s teachings. Although you are more than a month old, you still have nothing to talk about now. There are a lot of things to be busy with, but they are ignored. Even the eldest aunt whom I haven't seen for many years can't visit, just because of Pei Meiniang's visit! Now she is not grateful at all, but we are scolded by our mother. You can endure this, you are really good-natured!”
"I don't think it's been very hard these days, not to mention I'm new to the family and don't know anything. My mother asked me to help my two sisters-in-law with the housekeeping, but I don't know what to do or how to do it." Wei Changying said calmly. , "This time the fourth brother got married, I learned a lot from my mother and sister-in-law. It's thanks to my mother and sister-in-law's generous advice." Her words were actually true. Mrs. Liu had experienced several When it comes to marriage, I am very familiar with this process.
But Wei Changying was young and half-understood these human ways and sophistication. It's not that I didn't learn it well when I was in my natal family. After all, it's not the young lady's turn to intervene in many things unless you get married. This time Shen Zanghui got married, she helped Mrs. Su and Mrs. Liu, and learned a lot of tricks inside and out.
So thinking about it calmly, Wei Changying was not as angry as Mrs. Liu. After all, she herself benefited from Pei Meiniang's intervention. Now she brought this out to retaliate for Duanmu's ridicule that she was afraid of Pei Meiniang.
It was just the word "housekeeper" in her words that made Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu's expressions darken. They no longer thought about how to retaliate against Pei Meiniang. They both thought: "Yes, mother asked us to delegate power to this guard before. At that time, she steadily seized the power... Later, when her fourth brother got married, she was left to help in Xiangning's Mansion. She didn't care about the affairs here these days. Now that Pei's family has passed through the family - it seems that Wei She is going to go all out to seize power, it’s strange that she doesn’t want to argue with that Pei family!”
Of course, the momentary anger cannot be compared with the power of the housekeeper. The Liu family and the Duanmu family felt awe-inspiring when they thought that the power in their hands would gradually be lost. They immediately lost their minds to discuss how to deal with Pei Meiniang. They just said a few perfunctory words and went back to their rooms to discuss with their confidants. Deal with this.
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Huang said: "The eldest young lady and the second young lady have to deal with the fourth young lady. Why should the young lady bring up housekeeping matters at this time? How can the eldest young lady and the second young lady take care of the fourth young lady?" Young Madam, you must be thinking about how to deal with you, Young Madam."
Although Wei Changying sent away his two sisters-in-law, he was not in a good mood. Hearing the words, he snorted: "So what? I don't like Pei Meiniang either, but if it weren't for the two sisters-in-law there today to encourage my fourth brother, How could the addition of people make my mother angry and cause me trouble? They were obviously the ones responsible for it. My mother told me not to interfere with my second uncle’s room. They didn’t listen and still wanted to drag me into trouble. How could they really be a mother? Don’t you know what they are doing when you get home? If I follow them to deal with Pei Meiniang, I might be pushed out by them as a shield!"
Huang said: "Hey, my maid is not asking the young lady to follow the eldest young lady and the second young lady. It's just that the young lady doesn't want to pay attention to their discussions and just find any excuse to leave. Why do you have to mention the housekeeper?"
"If I don't mention it, will they not be wary of me in the future?" Wei Changying was obviously in a bad mood. It was rare that he didn't have a good look on Mr. Huang, and sneered, "Just let them drag me down and be scolded by my mother. They won’t be happy if I don’t let them do that, Aunt Huang, are you afraid of the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law?”
Mrs. Huang heard her annoyance and hurriedly said: "How could it be? My servant is..."
"Then what are you worried about?" Wei Changying snorted, "Just allow me to listen to their sarcastic words, and you won't allow me to talk back?"
"My maid is thinking, wouldn't it be nice if I didn't remind the eldest young lady and the second young lady and let them fight with the fourth young lady?" Huang argued with a wry smile.
Wei Changying said coldly: "These two sisters-in-law are very cunning. Just now, my mother told us not to interfere with the affairs of the fourth brother's backyard. Just then they got angry when we went out. Who knows if they acted like this intentionally? Are you here to seduce me? Besides, even if they are really angry and calm down to think about it after returning to the room, I don’t believe they dare to openly disobey their mother. Do you really think they will fight with Pei Meiniang? , not necessarily now! Otherwise, how can mother not be annoyed?"
Madam Huang was speechless and could only plead guilty: "It's my servant who is smart, so please punish me, Madam."
Wei Changying said impatiently: "Go back first!" (To be continued)
