Chapter 187 On the Spark

When Xu Sijian heard that his mother had taken his eldest brother back to his parents' home, he was dumbfounded and said with dissatisfaction: Why don't you wait for me to come back?

Xu Siyu smiled and said: You are eating the food in the bowl and thinking about the food in the pot.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Eleven Niang sighed in her heart.

It seems that the third lady has not given up yet.

The difference between concubines and concubines in a large family is not only affected by birth, but also by education level.

Fortunately, concubines can have the same opportunity to receive education, enter and exit the house, and make friends as legitimate sons, thereby changing one's thinking and changing one's destiny. But concubines are very different.

He studied and learned calligraphy with his mother or aunts and sisters-in-law. Even if the family hired a teacher, most of them were elderly people over sixty years old. After reading "The Legend of Martyrs", you only need to know a few words, but many principles are not important.

This is still in the south, where the literary style is popular. In the north, many wealthy women are not allowed to read at all, and they rely entirely on their mother's words and deeds to teach others. Aunt mothers usually despise and suppress concubines and do not give them equal opportunities to receive education. Even if they have

With equal opportunities to receive education, the people around them will be scornful intentionally or unintentionally. As time goes by, those concubines themselves will be weak and lose courage.

Fei's character appears. As the biological mother, the aunt usually comes from a humble background and has limited knowledge. She cannot help at all in this regard, so that most of the concubines have mediocre qualifications. No one with a slight family background would like such a woman.

Marrying her back as a daughter-in-law. Firstly, it is not good for the heirs and it is difficult to educate excellent offspring, especially in the education of women. Secondly, her limited ability makes it difficult to deal with the daily affairs of the family.

By the same token, this is why the head wives are usually wary of concubines with good backgrounds. They are not like those women from humble backgrounds who lose their confidence first, and the head wives can often make them behave with just a few words. They often pass

Zi Si Gu Chong tried to find a way to change his current predicament, thereby threatening the interests of his legitimate children and shaking the foundation of the family.

In ancient times, where the importance of being well-matched was important, this was also the reason why a legitimate daughter was unwilling to marry a concubine. Being well-matched not only refers to wealth, but also refers to the level of family tradition and education.

No matter how illustrious the Yongping Marquis Mansion is, the third master, Xu Lingning, is just a bastard.

Not to mention Xu Siqin, whose parents' family was poor, even if it were Xu Siyu, Uncle Zhongqin's family would not be able to marry their eldest daughter.

Everyone was busy when Xu Lingyi raised the curtain and came out: Come in, everyone.

His expression was calm and his voice was gentle. The fifth master felt relieved, smiled, stepped forward to salute, called Fourth Brother affectionately, and said hurriedly: I have bought all the firecrackers, and I have two young men to guard them. It’s New Year’s Eve.

On the nights of the first, second and third day of the 30th day, there are still seven boys who set off firecrackers. Nothing will happen.

Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded: Not bad

After hearing this, Master Wu immediately became happy like a child who was praised.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Xu Sijian took the opportunity to step forward and salute Xu Lingyi, and then the group entered the inner room. After the Fifth Master and Xu Sijian saluted the Dowager Madam, they sat down respectively.

The fifth master once again told the wife the arrangement of setting off firecrackers, and finally added: Fourth brother also thinks it is good.

The madam laughed after hearing this: That's good, that's good.

A little maid came in and said: The third grandma and the young master are back.

The madam came back so quickly and said with a smile, come in quickly

The third lady and Xu Siqin raised the curtain and entered, and were a little surprised to see everyone there.

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Tai asked with concern: How is Sister Xian of the Gan family?

Oops, the third lady said with a smile, now that I know, it would be a bad idea not to go and take a look. I am just doing my best. She did not directly answer what the madam said.

Mrs. Tai smiled slightly, stopped mentioning the topic, and told the fifth master: The steward of the family will go to Hongdeng Hutong tomorrow to give your father-in-law a New Year gift. You can go there in person and pay your respects to your father-in-law. Your father-in-law has also not seen you and your father-in-law for some days.

It’s Danyang.

The New Year gifts for the Luo and Gan families were delivered yesterday.

The fifth master responded respectfully.

The third master came over and asked the fifth master Xu Lingyi to worship the Kitchen God.

The fifth master called to the younger ones: "Come on, let's go eat some sweets."

Several children followed with smiles.

The Madam asked the Third Madam to step aside and change her clothes and come over for dinner.

The third lady left in response, and the Tai Madam supported Sister Zhen and talked to Eleven Niang: What I mean is that Yi Zhen is alone in Xishan, and she is all alone. Let Sister Zhen go and accompany her. What do you think?

Eleven Niang's heart moved.

It was clear that he told Xu Lingyi that Sister Zhen wanted to go to Xishan to accompany the second lady, but Xu Lingyi said in front of the wife that it was his idea. The wife was afraid that it was Xu Lingyi's idea and she had a problem with it, so she brought the matter onto her.

Mother, this is a good thing. Eleven Mother was slightly moved, I will go and tell Sister Zhen. When do you think we can leave?

Madam Tai slightly chinned: If you want to send New Year’s gifts to Yizhen tomorrow, let’s do it tomorrow. We’re leaving tomorrow.

Twelve Niang nodded: Just follow your mother's wishes.

While Mrs. Tai was talking to Eleven Niang, Amber was also talking to Dongqing.

If you don't tell me what sister is planning to do, how can I help you? Amber frowned slightly.

Dongqing lowered her head and was sewing, but didn't open her mouth.

Amber pretended to sigh when he saw it: After all, I don't have as much love as Bin Ju and you.

Speaking of this, Dongqing raised her head helplessly, smiled reluctantly and said: I didn't mean that. But she never said why.

Amber had no choice but to take Dongqing's hand: Good sister, don't blame your sister for not listening to her words. Think about it, is there any lady like our lady who comes to your room to discuss it with you in detail?

It’s all in one sentence. Speaking of which, this is also the fate of you and your wife. But sometimes, sister also has to think about whether it should be right or not.

This is a bit harsh to say.

Dongqing said hurriedly: I know it too. But in front of my wife, I really don’t know what to say.

Amber listened and said with a smile: Sister, just tell the lady what is in her heart. There is nothing wrong to say. She also joked, maybe my sister has fallen in love with a handsome man from a certain family, and she is afraid that the lady will not be able to tell the truth after questioning, so she dare not say anything.

No way

Fuck you. Holly smiled and pushed Amber.

Amber covered her sleeves and smiled.

The atmosphere in the room became relaxed.

Holly also relaxed.

I don't quite like Zhongwan Daxian's appearance.

Amber was startled when he heard this: I looked very upright.

Dongqing disagreed: What does a man want to be good-looking? What he wants is the ability to support a family. As he said that, his eyes darkened. If he met someone like my father, and my mother was beautiful and virtuous, she would end up selling her son and daughter.

fate.

Amber had heard that Dongqing had an older brother who was given to someone else as a son-in-law when he was five years old.

The smile on her face faded as she listened.

Wan Daxian is Madam's favorite, and Madam must like her very much. I don't know how he behaves in front of Madam. Dongqing sighed. When I went to Goldfish Lane last time, she seemed a little confused when he mentioned this.

As if he should continue speaking, he paused.

Amber's heart skipped a beat when she heard this: Did he speak frivolously to you?

No, no. Dongqing said hurriedly, her attitude was respectful, and she knew how to watch faces. As long as I showed a little bit of liking, he would do it immediately. As she said that, she lowered her eyelids, and she really didn't look manly at all.

Amber laughed after hearing this: I saw a fairy-like sister standing in front of me, busy, and only knew how to flatter her wholeheartedly.

Hearing Amber's joking tone, Dongqing's face turned red with embarrassment, and she reached out and hit Amber: What are you talking about?

Amber laughed harder.

Dongqing's expression was bitter: I'm different from you. You were born at home and worked as an errand in the eldest wife's house when you entered the house. But I'm different. I was sold into the house, with no roots and no one to talk to. It was the same back then.

Because no one is willing to take care of the sick wife, the errand falls on me. Speaking of Yao's mother wanting to marry her nephew, speaking of it, the forsythia in the eldest wife's house is one of a million.

Yes, Luo Qiao is not bad either. Why do you dare to take advantage of me?

Amber suppressed her smile.

Dongqing talked about the last time she helped Amber to wash away the dust: It was only ten taels of silver, why could the fifth aunt grandma prepare a large table of dishes, but we couldn't? A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. After all, it was not because the lady had no one to rely on at the time.

People. Even those respectable mothers dare not take us seriously. Look at us now, with a hesitant expression.

Did something happen that I don't know about?

Amber looked at it and couldn't help but secretly guess, leaning forward and leaning over: "Good sister, let's talk about ourselves, what do you have to worry about?"

Dongqing still hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said: "The last time I went back to Luo's house, I heard Luo Qiao say that the eldest master had been resting in the fifth aunt's house after he came back. The eldest wife knew about it and sent the sixth aunt over to serve her. As a result, there was a big mistake.

The old man and his wife were so angry that they knocked over all the medicine Mrs. Xu had given her.

Amber was stunned.

When she returned to Luo's house, she didn't hear Coral talk about this. She just told her that the newly married fourth grandma was very powerful.

I tidied her up so well that even the maids and mothers at home didn’t dare to show off their big breasts in front of her. She took away the limelight of her big breasts.

If I think about it carefully, it's not because Miss Eleven is now Mrs. Yongpinghou. Dongqing's expression is sad. Now I have finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, and I don't want to fall into it anymore.
