Mrs. Song said she was worried, but Wei Changying smiled frankly and said nonchalantly: "Since these two sisters-in-law are both virtuous people, even if they are jealous of these hairpins, the words will be sour at most. My mood Just pretend you didn’t hear me, and even if you’re in a bad mood, I’ll reply with a few words—they’re all sisters-in-law, can they still eat me?”
"A virtuous person?" Mrs. Song sneered and said disdainfully, "In a wealthy family, there is only one way to be praised by everyone for being virtuous and virtuous, just by being kind-hearted and kind - like you, who has not yet left the government and has high-ranking officials. Those who have powerful elders to protect them! Let’s not talk about people outside, let’s talk about servants. In a family like ours, there are many servants. It is said that there is a difference between master and servant. But in fact, those of Wei family’s distant branches are poor. Can they compare with the servants in our house? Not to mention the servants in front of us! These people are slaves in front of us, and they are even more arrogant than us! The master's starter, just like the loyal servants such as Aunt Shi and your wet nurse He, since they are human beings with all kinds of emotions and desires, who can't be careful? Do you think that the master has no means and can only rely on virtue to govern? Can you keep them?"
She taught her daughter earnestly, "That's why your two sisters-in-law are famous far and wide, and their methods are astonishing! You have to be so stupid as to think that they are easy to get along with, and you might even be sold without knowing it!" "
Mrs. Song said something serious, but Wei Changying just laughed and said: "Since the Shen family is similar to ours, of course there are rules. How can it be so easy for them to sell me? Let's not mention that they are just sisters-in-law. If you are not a mother-in-law, how can you still suppress me with your status as an elder? Furthermore, according to the speculation of my grandmother and mother, the blood jade hairpin given to me by Mrs. Su means that Shen Zangfeng’s status in the Shen family has been established - this Since the two sisters-in-law are both virtuous people, the eldest sister-in-law should take the initiative to hand over the stewardship to me after I come here, and the second sister-in-law should also respect me! Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that Shen Zangfeng is not being respected? If Mrs. Su doesn't feel sorry for me, will she not feel sorry for Shen Zangfeng? "
"Listening to what you said before, I thought you were enlightened, but who knew you were still stupid!" Mrs. Song immediately sneered when she heard this, nodded her daughter's smooth forehead, and shouted softly, "I can't use my status as an elder to suppress you. Can't we use seniority and seniority to pressure you? And take the initiative to hand over the power of housekeeping to you. Let me ask you, with your little housekeeping skills, even if you two sisters-in-law don't use any tricks, you Can you take care of the Shen family? Of course Su Xiuman feels sorry for Shen Zangfeng, so if you are too useless to worry about Shen Zangfeng, what do you think she will do to you! Put two capable concubines in there! Are you going to be angry or embarrassed?"
Wei Changying said lazily: "Things like housekeeping are not necessarily difficult to say. Anyway, I come from a big family. Although I don't pay much attention to the way of housekeeping, but how do I deal with the things I usually see? After all, I have seen it since I was a child, so can’t I just follow the gourd and draw the scoop? When the time comes, I will have my own dowry manpower. My grandmother and mother love me so much, and they will definitely be prepared to do things well. I will listen to their suggestions when the time comes. It’s done—these people’s futures are all pointing to me, and they will never fail to do their best! As for concubines, hehe…”
She obviously didn't take concubine seriously. Isn't Mrs. Song still clear about the reason? Just as he was about to speak, his daughter smiled slyly and said, "When it comes to virtuousness, isn't my cousin virtuous? But haven't you been made helpless by me?"
After hearing the previous words, Mrs. Song originally thought that her daughter's plan was too optimistic, but it was also successful and just a little too taken for granted. However, after hearing the next sentence, she suddenly became angry again and picked up the round fan next to her. He pounced on her head and said angrily: "Zai Shui gave you up for the sake of her direct cousins! If not, she would have unleashed the methods your grandmother carefully taught you, and even ten of you would not be enough to die!"
"That's impossible!" Wei Changying said confidently, "I am protected by my grandmother and mother. No matter how powerful my cousin is, can she be more powerful than my grandmother and mother? So no matter if my cousin takes it seriously or not, Nothing will happen to me!”
"..." Mrs. Song was silent for a moment, then jumped angrily, "You unsatisfactory little evil! How long have you been so lazy! Don't be careful! Don't be careful to see how I beat you!"
She yelled loudly, but she just held the fan tightly in her hands, and carefully used the silk to pounce on Xiao Nizhang's head a few times. The force was so cautious that she didn't even pounce on the newly bloomed rose flower on Xiao Nizhang's hairpin. crooked…
How can such a mother be called the fear of her daughter? The little evil boy didn't even hide, he held his chin up and said with a smile: "Mom, don't be angry... After all, there is no deep grudge between me and the two sisters-in-law of the Shen family. The matter of the hairpin is not something that we, the daughters-in-law of the Shen family, can fight over. , who can they blame if their husbands don't live up to expectations? This hairpin was obviously passed on to the wife of the person who took over Ming Peitang. If they are not angry, what they should do is encourage their husbands to compete with Shen Zangfeng - that is Shen Zangfeng's business. It’s time!”
"You still dare to say such things!" Mrs. Song became even more angry when she heard this and said hatefully, "Shen Zangfeng, Shen Zangfeng - he kept shouting simply, who is he to you?! Husband and wife are one, but Shen Zangfeng was plotted by his brother. Are you so proud?! What do you think will happen to you if he loses power? In the past, you said that you should not suffer after leaving the cabinet. Of course, I am your biological mother and let you do this. Forget it! Are you still looking forward to Shen Zangfeng? Do you want to piss me off?"
"Mom, don't be angry, listen to me!" Wei Changying saw that Mrs. Song was really angry. He quickly got up and made her a cup of tea attentively. He said confidently, "Shen Zangfeng is neither the eldest son nor the eldest son. Now he has not yet Crowning - The descendants of the Shen family are also prosperous. He is designated as the next head of the clan at such a young age. It can be seen that he is either superior to many brothers and nephews or he is favored and favored above everyone else! His brothers were defeated by him. Now that the Shen family has made a decision, how can it be so easy to shake his position? After all, the position of the leader is not trivial. Since the Taifu has made such a choice, there is no way he will change it overnight. I heard that my great-grandfather decided on his title only after his grandfather had assumed the power of the clan leader for more than ten years!"
Mrs. Song said solemnly: "Since you know that Shen Zangfeng is a good person, then quickly put away all your messy thoughts! Your grandfather has always been very accurate in seeing people. Otherwise, your grandfather would have been in a hurry to return to Fengzhou. When you are recovering from your illness, why do you still need to take time out of your busy schedule to discuss marriage with Shen Xuan? "
She lowered her voice and told her daughter the secret, "At that time, your grandfather's granddaughter was not the only one who was suitable for marrying Shen Zangfeng! For example, Chang Wan in your second uncle's room was four years older than you, so she was older than Shen Zangfeng. If you are two years older, you can become a marriage partner! Although your second uncle is a commoner, he is the most capable of your father's generation - if Changfeng hadn't been born at that time, your grandfather would be a noble now! , can it be the second wife? Why did your grandfather choose you?"
Wei Changying was startled, but Mrs. Song had already whispered: "This is all for our room! If there was no Changfeng, your father and I would have to adopt an heir from another room! You only have one daughter, you Who knows what will happen to the heir once we get married? Of course, as a mother, I am not easy to bully, but the heir is easy to manipulate. If your second uncle becomes the powerful one, and your father is the eldest son, what do you think of us? Can you live a lonely life with your eldest brother? But if you marry well, even if your grandparents can't protect our eldest brother, your second uncle won't dare to neglect our eldest brother! Your second uncle tried to suppress it, and it will be difficult for him to get ahead in the future, so your grandfather betrothed you to Shen Zangfeng instead of Chang Wan, who was more suitable in the long run at the time!"
"My father is my grandfather's eldest son, and my grandfather is very different from his father." Hearing this, Wei Changying looked enlightened and said solemnly, "My daughter must be obedient and live up to her grandfather's good intentions."
Mrs. Song was pleased with her daughter's understanding, but she didn't know that when the little scoundrel said this with a righteous tone on the surface, what she was thinking in her heart was: This guy surnamed Shen is young and successful, and must have an arrogant temperament! Even if you are humble and courteous in front of your elders, how can you not show a bit of arrogance in front of your juniors? Not to mention getting back to the backyard! When the time comes, if you don't serve someone well, you might offend him... Is this really unreasonable? ! I am the dignified eldest daughter of the Wei family in Fengzhou. My grandparents, my father and my mother raised me so much, but they never made me angry like this! As soon as you get married, your status plummets to the point where you have to look at people's faces in everything? ! How is this different from being a human slave!
Wei Changying thinks this kind of thing is really terrible!
She secretly clenched her fists and decided that she would not let such a terrible thing come true no matter what!
So after dealing with Mrs. Song, she decided to find Jiang Zheng immediately, study harder and harder, vowing to use her own fists to create a future that was no less than the good days before she came out of the cabinet...
With Wei Changying being so stubborn, Mrs. Song had no choice but to take time out to discuss with Mrs. Song: "The wedding is approaching, but this child is still obsessed with force and has no demeanor like a Wei girl. This But what to do?”
Mrs. Song was also worried about her granddaughter, but after listening to Mrs. Song's words, she couldn't make up her mind. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were experts in raising children. After all, they were born and raised in a famous family and had ordinary aristocratic experience. There are standards and requirements for what kind of daughter-in-law you like - but this is only from the perspective of the mother-in-law or sister-in-law. If you really want to be in love with your husband, it is all fate.
If this was a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song would of course have the same requirements as most other mistresses, that is, be generally virtuous, have a prosperous heir, and be a reasonable mother-in-law, so she wouldn't be picky.
But her direct grandson is still her only granddaughter. Mrs. Song naturally hopes that Wei Changying will be loved by his parents-in-law and respected by his sisters-in-law. The most important thing is to be loving and harmonious with her husband! It’s not like the old lady herself didn’t suffer grievances at the hands of her mother-in-law when she was young. After all, Wei Huan was a concubine. Although he didn’t snatch the position of head of the Wei family in Fengzhou from Duke Jingping, it was Duke Jingping who didn’t seek to make progress and couldn’t support her. After starting the Wei family's family, one can imagine that Duke Jingping's mother and Mrs. Jingping would feel better when they saw their bastard inheriting the benefits that should have belonged to their own flesh and blood.
Wei Huan's situation at that time was very similar to Wei Shengyi's situation now. If Jing Ping Gong hadn't been so obsessed with chatting and Xuan Lao's theory that he didn't care much about his heirs, he would only have Wei Zheng when he was older. Ya is an only son, so when the old Duke Jingping passed away, Wei Zhengya was still young - Mrs. Old Jingping and the current Mrs. Song must have had the same plan - if the son fails, then support the grandson! The future of many generations of flesh and blood is at stake, no matter what, let the bastard take advantage of it!
Although Wei Zhengya was born too late, Mrs. Jingping was very disappointed. However, Mrs. Song suffered many injustices at the hands of her mother-in-law because of Wei Huan. Mrs. Song was naturally reluctant to let her granddaughter suffer the hardships she had suffered, but Mrs. Song also knew that compared to the love of her parents-in-law and the respect of her sisters-in-law, the most important thing for a wife was her husband's love.
In particular, Wei Changying's background was no worse than Shen Zangfeng's. A well-matched marriage had its own default rules. Regardless of whether Su Xiuman liked Wei Changying or not, there had to be a limit to how hard she tried to beat him. Once the line is crossed, the Wei family will not give up, and the Su family and the Shen family will not sit back and watch Su Xiuman's unkind reputation bring down the family reputation.
Wei Changying's sisters-in-law were also born in the same family. As long as the Wei family is here, as long as Wei Changfeng can replace Wei Zhenghong's position that Wei Zhenghong has missed for many years as Mrs. Song planned - Mrs. Song thinks that Wei Changying There is no need to be so afraid of your mother-in-law, let alone your sister-in-law.
In the end, it was the relationship with Shen Zangfeng that worried Mrs. Song more.
Although it has been said since ancient times to marry a virtuous woman, Mrs. Song, after a lifetime of experience, how could she not understand that a virtuous woman can win the favor of the world, but may not be able to win the favor of her husband
In addition, in the past few years, Mrs. Song has been constantly giving orders to the people who stayed behind when she left the imperial capital, and also told her daughter to visit the Shen family frequently. After inquiring in detail, she found that the future grandson Shen Zangfeng was a typical son of a famous family, with high talents but modesty, and a tolerant and generous nature. Magnanimity - Mrs. Song didn't care if she had seen this obvious praise. What she noticed was Shen Zangfeng's preference - this future grandson-in-law was very good at war and good horses. Even at the age of tying up his hair, he Regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, he insisted on going into battle in person and tamed a fierce horse that he had just obtained from Qiudi. Shen Xuan was severely punished for this. From this matter, Mrs. Song was keenly aware of Shen Zangfeng's A true temperament may not be that humble. A truly humble person who is willing to listen to others' advice would risk breaking a leg, losing his face, or even losing his life to train a horse in person at the age of fifteen
Among the disciples of Wenyue, which one did not grow up listening to the teaching that "a son of rich wealth cannot sit down in court"
But this is in line with the behavior of the Shen family's children in Xiliang - Xiliang borders Qiudi, and the Shen family's children have grown up in the hundreds of years of war with Qiudi. The Di people are ignorant, ferocious, and have no courage. How can they stand in front of the Di people
... Chen Ruping has also said before that the Shen family does not value literary talent as much as the Wei family. Since Shen Zangfeng is such a typical child of the Shen family, he may not really like the virtuous, gentle and quiet people who were trained according to the rules of a famous family. A girl who knows etiquette.
However, this is not certain - because if Shen Zangfeng aspires to the battlefield, wouldn't he need a virtuous and virtuous wife to take care of his rear
After all, fate is hard to say. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song were equally worried that Wei Changying would face difficulties after he left the cabinet, but they also held on to the hope of what might happen - what if Shen Zangfeng was mentioned by Chen Ruping
Wouldn't that mean that I personally ruined my granddaughter's good deeds and made her feel wronged
So after pondering for a long time, Mrs. Song could only bite the bullet and said: "She has developed this temperament, and it may be difficult to change it now. If she forces it, she may end up in a nondescript manner... Let me tell you, it's better to just leave it like this, maybe. Does she have her blessing?"
Now I can only gamble. (To be continued)
