When he returned to Taifu's house that day, it was already time to light the lamp. Wei Changying felt very tired, but he still went to the upper room to find Mrs. Su to apologize.
On the way to bed, she thought that she attached so much importance to Jiang Zheng's injury - after all, Jiang Zheng was just a guard in Mrs. Su's eyes, and Mrs. Su would definitely not be happy that her daughter-in-law was so busy working for a guard that she didn't even go out. I came to say hello to myself in person, thinking that this time I might have to lower my eyebrows repeatedly and be careful in order to get over it.
However, after making such preparations, when I arrived in front of the upper room, I saw several women guarding the door standing there with scornful expressions... It seems that something happened to the upper room today
Wei Changying was slightly startled. He first thought of what Shen Zangfeng said, but then rejected it. Shen Zangfeng could tell his married wife about such a big matter, but how could he make it known to everyone
She calmed down, raised her hand to stop the salutes of the women, smiled and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what are you doing now?" As she asked, she stuffed a few purses into her hands while singing.
The ladies accepted the offer after a few token refusals, and whispered: "Madam is very sad today. The eldest young lady and the second young lady persuaded the madam all afternoon before leaving. Now, Grandma Tao Grandma is still inside talking."
Wei Changying was startled and quickly asked: "What on earth made my mother so sad?" Mrs. Su is not someone who can be sad easily! Not to mention that because of his sadness, the two daughters-in-law who were in charge of the housework all came to comfort him, and even comforted him for an entire afternoon!
A woman looked around mysteriously, then approached Wei Changying and said: "What you said to the Third Young Madam is related to the Xiangning Uncle Mansion - the Fourth Young Madam of the Xiangning Bo Mansion, today... Because of the eldest lady’s matter, my wife invited me here to discuss it, but she became very angry!”
"What did she say to make my mother so angry?" Wei Changying asked doubtfully.
The day Pei Meiniang served tea, it was revealed that she was not an easy person to get along with. Because of her, the three guards, Captain Ying and Sister-in-Law, were scolded by Madam Su. Unexpectedly, this master was now angry with Madam Su. Isn't it too troublesome
But after all, Pei Meiniang is also a daughter of a serious family. Getting along with her sister-in-law is always a matter between peers. How come even her elders dare to contradict her
Another mother-in-law whispered: "It seems that the eldest lady wants to become a monk. Come and talk to the madam. The madam couldn't persuade her, so she asked someone to invite the fourth young lady to come, thinking of persuading the eldest lady together. But the middle lady asked the fourth young lady Please pay more attention to the eldest lady. The fourth young lady thought that the madam hinted that the eldest lady wanted to become a monk because she was trying to get rid of her, so she said a few... not so good things, which made her so angry that she cried on the spot! "
"..." Guard Chief Ying was choked and speechless for a long time: Mrs. Su's palace, being so angry that she cried on the spot may not be true crying, maybe it is intentional. But to force Mrs. Su, an elder, to this point, what heartbreaking words did Pei Meiniang say
Ordinarily, Pei Meiniang was so disrespectful to her elders... Wei Changying asked: "Where are the four younger siblings now? Are they over there at the ancestral hall?" Such an unfilial niece-in-law, thinking about the face of Shen Zhou and Shen Zanghui, at least punished her outside the ancestral hall. Kneel down all night
The mothers-in-law said awkwardly: "That's not true. The fourth young lady is currently in Xiangning Bo's Mansion."
Wei Changying frowned: "Government? Or copying books? But when did you come to kowtow to mother and serve tea to apologize?" Just thinking about the tea ceremony before, it can be seen that Shen Zanghui also loves this wife very much. Maybe he wants to In order to save Shen Zanghui's face, Pei Meiniang was sent back to Uncle Xiangning's house to be punished.
However, given Shen Zanghui's love for Pei Meiniang and Pei Meiniang's lack of a mother-in-law, I am afraid that no one knows whether she will be punished or just resting when she goes back to hide in her room. This means being punished in name, but actually... who knows
Who would have thought that the mothers-in-law would be even more embarrassed after hearing this - Wei Changying asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
"Third Young Madam?" Two women were about to answer when someone came over not far away. When they saw the silhouette of Wei Changying illuminated by the wind lantern under the door, they called out softly.
Wei Changying heard the voice of Mrs. Su and the ambassador Man Lou, so he left the wives and went over to talk to her: "Man Lou, are you here? I just heard them say that today the fourth younger brother and sister are coming to take mother. I’m so angry, what’s going on?”
"Alas!" Manlou didn't say anything. He sighed first and led her to take a few steps to the side. Then he said, "The eldest young lady and the second young lady persuaded each other all afternoon before leaving. Grandma Tao even cried with her. A few scenes... I really don’t know what kind of sin this is. How could a good family marry such a wife? "
A servant like Man Lou, who is a mistress of the house, has always had a sense of propriety and would not easily comment on the merits of a person, especially the master, especially in front of another master - Man Lou said this now, openly scolding Pei Meiniang for being unworthy, It was obvious that he was extremely annoyed with Pei Meiniang.
Wei Zhangying didn't expect that his sister-in-law could offend people so much. She had been here less than a month and had only been to the Taifu Mansion twice, but she had offended everyone from top to bottom! She hurriedly asked: "Women don't tell me carefully, can you tell me what's going on?"
"Isn't the fourth young master and her going to be full moon in a few days?" Manlou whispered, "The eldest lady suddenly came over today and told my wife that she wanted to become a monk. She also said that when my eldest uncle died of illness, the eldest lady came over suddenly. The young lady came up with this idea. But she was afraid that Uncle Xiangning would be sad, and since there was no one in Xiangning's house to take charge of the matter, she was also afraid that it would always cause trouble for us, so she has been taking care of things in the house for two years. The fourth young master got married, and after the fourth young lady was one month old, she could also take charge of things as the eldest daughter-in-law of Xiangning County. The eldest lady thought that Xiangning County would not have anything to do in the future, so she wanted to become a monk - we Of course the madam can’t bear to leave the eldest lady.”
Although it was said that Shen Zangzhu would never remarry even if she lived in her natal family for the rest of her life, living in her own home would still allow her family to see her often, which could be a relief when she was sad. After becoming a monk, you are alone and deserted. Of course Mrs. Su could not agree - no matter whether Mrs. Su cared about Shen Zangzhu's future or not, as a loving aunt, she would definitely stop her niece from becoming a monk.
"Then what?"
"Then the madam persuaded the eldest lady without saying anything to the eldest lady for an hour. Thinking that the eldest lady might give the fourth young lady some face to the new sibling, the fourth young lady had just come in, so she sent someone to invite the fourth young lady to come with her. Persuading the eldest lady." Manlou clutched the handkerchief and sneered, "But when the middle lady persuaded the eldest lady, she said, 'If you live at home, if anything happens, your family will always be able to take care of it. , you are afraid of disturbing me, don’t you have a biological sister-in-law now? Can Meiniang still take good care of you?” I asked the Fourth Young Madam if this is the case—Third Young Madam, don’t you think this is a normal thing? As a result, the fourth young lady said, "My aunt said this as if I have treated you badly or am planning to treat your eldest sister badly. I don't dare to take it seriously." She was so angry that she choked! "
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment and said: "Why would she think so? She thought that the eldest sister wanted to become a monk because she was afraid that she would be mistreated by her in the future. Is this because she was dragging her mother into a double act to force her to express her stance? "
Shen Zangzhu is Shen Zhou's eldest daughter and Shen Zanghui's biological sister. After she became a widow, Shen Zhou personally destroyed the Su family's big house and took her back to live with her parents' parents. It was natural for her to live in her parents' family for the rest of her life - the Shen family was not a small family, so why couldn't they afford to raise a widowed daughter? Moreover, if a young man like Shen Zangzhu is widowed, he will definitely be remembered in the family history in the future. This will also add glory to the Shen family!
...Besides, even if Shen Zangzhu returns to her parents' home, she may not really be able to live with her younger brother and sister-in-law. She has her own dowry, which is her own private property. This is not a small amount of money, even if it is discounted from Wei Changying's dowry. Calculated at 70% to 80%, Shen Zangzhu alone would never be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes no matter how extravagant he was. Not to mention that Shen Zangzhu was a virtuous widow, with no upper body, no good clothes, no good food and good food, how could she be extravagant
Regardless of logic, etiquette, or reality, Shen Zangzhu does not need to look at the faces of his brother and sister-in-law to live his life! Besides, Pei Meiniang had only been here for a few days, and she was still not in charge of things. Even though Shen Zangzhu was a sympathetic young widow, she was welcomed by the Qingzhou Su family with gongs and drums to become the eldest daughter-in-law. She also had Su. The future of his future mistress!
How would such a young lady be afraid of her sister-in-law who just came into the house and was from a noble family
Wei Changying simply couldn't imagine the faces of Mrs. Su and Shen Zangzhu at that time...
Manlou sneered and said: "When the third young lady said this, the maid finally understood what the fourth young lady thought like this? Such a ridiculous thing... The maid really thought about it and couldn't figure out why she answered like this. ?” He added, “The madam was very angry at that time, so the eldest lady reprimanded the fourth young lady for being rude and ordered her to apologize to the madam. This was a matter of course. In the end, it was better for the fourth young lady to tell the truth first. Why is Auntie so angry?', and said, 'If you weren't suspicious that I was treating you badly, eldest sister, it's not even the full moon yet, so you called me over, and you're a monk, and you're looking after me, and what's this mess? Something! ' made the eldest lady almost cry!"
Wei Changying was speechless for a moment and then asked: "What happened next?"
"Later, Madam's eyes turned red when she saw the eldest lady - the eldest lady is already pitiful enough. Madam has always loved the eldest lady. Naturally, the fourth young lady was not allowed to be angry with the eldest lady anymore." Manlou sighed deeply and said, "Who would have thought that the fourth young lady was said a few words by the madam... The maid was listening. Compared to the fourth young lady's behavior, those words were really not serious! But the fourth young lady was as if her hair was fried and she almost jumped up. , shouting something like, 'I know you are all noble girls, so noble! You are looking down on me when I marry a daughter from a noble family. It's not even a full moon yet, and you are trying to bully me in different ways.', and then he shouted Crying bitterly... She just said that she would go back to Uncle Xiangning's house to pack her things and go back to her parents' house, so that our wife and the eldest lady would not look down upon her! "
"..." Wei Changying stood stunned for a moment, then said, "These four younger brothers and sisters..." What should she say when she goes in
If Pei Meiniang is just confused for a moment, if this sister-in-law makes Madam Su so angry today, Madam Su will definitely not like to hear it! But if we say that this sister-in-law is not virtuous—such an ungrateful sister-in-law was chosen by Mrs. Su herself for her nephew! Wouldn't it imply that Mrs. Su deliberately chose a bad wife for her nephew
Wei Changying was in a mess, thinking about such a sister-in-law... He had to send Uncle Jiang to Ji Qubing's hospital today to save his life. He didn't catch up with his two sisters-in-law. Otherwise, he would be able to fish in troubled waters by following his sisters-in-law's advice. How can I talk about this alone now
But now that everyone is here, it's impossible not to go in. After all, Mrs. Su is so angry at her nephew's daughter-in-law. How can the daughter-in-law not come over to comfort her
She had a headache thinking about what to say when she arrived in front of her mother-in-law, and then she heard Manlou say again: "Not long after the fourth young lady returned, she dragged the fourth young master of Xiu Mu over here!"
"..." Wei Changying.
"When the Fourth Young Master saw Madam, he asked Madam to forgive the Fourth Young Madam." Manlou's breath was a little hurried, and it was obvious that he was still very angry. "The Madam and the eldest lady were comforting each other, but when they saw this situation, they thought the Fourth Young Master Madam figured it out on the way back, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to explain when she came back, so she invited the Fourth Young Master to come with her to apologize. "
"Who would have thought that what the fourth young master said next made the madam and the eldest daughter understand: This is what the fourth young lady told the fourth young master when she went back - her master and the eldest young lady relied on their family background and looked down upon her because she was a member of a noble family. She is a girl, so she was called over to beat her before she was even a month old... All in all, the madam and the eldest lady were bullying her together! "
Wei Changying looked at Huang in despair - at this time, in this scene, in this situation, he could only count on Huang to give him advice on how to comfort his poor mother-in-law today...
At this moment, Wei Changying suddenly understood that compared to what Mrs. Su and Shen Zangzhu had experienced today, on the day of the tea ceremony, Pei Meiniang sincerely thought that it would be the first time for her sisters-in-law to formally meet each other that day, so she was merciful...
