Reborn Fierce Wife: Young Marshal Slowly Coaxes Her
Chapter 317 The Young Madam and Housekeeper
Naturally, everyone pays attention to the marriage in the Governor's Mansion.
Wherever Yan Xin goes, people will ask about her.
She was always cautious and never spoke nonsense, claiming that she did not know the inside story. Even when Cheng Sanniang asked her, she didn't elaborate.
But to Cheng Sanniang, she was more honest: "I'm not suitable to talk about it."
Cheng Sanniang was just curious, not interested in interests, so she didn't take it seriously.
But in my heart, I secretly praised Yan Xin as a person who "knows the importance".
The atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion was very depressing.
At first, the warlord asked the second lady to draw up a list of betrothal gifts.
The first of the "six rites" of marriage is acceptance.
"The evening ceremony is issued, and the acceptance is made of wild geese." The ceremony of accepting wild geese means "the trees fall to the south and the ice spreads to the north." It is also called the ceremony of entrusting birds. Nowadays, live geese are not easy to come by, so you can use geese, doves, or eagles instead.
The betrothal gift should include the major items of gold, cakes, tea, and wine; there should also be three animals, dried prunes, dried prunes, candies, gift boxes, two buckets of rice, incense cannons, and gold bracelets.
The betrothal gift prepared by He Menglan did not include a wild goose gift at the beginning.
When the order was returned, she was very angry: "There are live birds in it!"
But the three animals and the beasts are different.
In addition to the improper acceptance gift, other betrothal gifts were also not prepared satisfactorily.
The things Madam picked were all morally wrong, and she would be reasonable wherever she took them.
He Menglan said that she was deliberately picky.
"Forget it, don't let her do it." The warlord really had no choice.
It's not that he doesn't want to give dignity to the children and He Menglan, but that He Menglan really can't get on the high platform.
The youngest daughter, Jing Feiyan, begged the governor, hinting that she was old enough to discuss marriage, and her mother's face was also very important.
But no matter how much chance he was given, He Menglan just couldn't stand up.
The military governor removed her power again, and her own staff officers were responsible for the dowry.
The news spread like wildfire.
When the wives of high-ranking officials were playing mahjong, they all said about He Menglan: "She's so good at trivial things, but she can't take the stage for big things."
"She also comes from a wealthy family, but she always behaves in such a petty manner, regardless of the occasion. She deserves to be compared to the eldest lady for the rest of her life."
Some wives also said: "The eldest lady Sheng is too calm and she usually ignores He Menglan, no matter how provocative she is.
He Menglan wanted to vent and couldn't find anyone. Only when she was doing big things and had a chance to get in touch with the Sheng family, would she have to risk her life to act up? "
He Menglan cared too much and accumulated resentment bit by bit.
But Sheng was really calm, and she would turn a blind eye to whatever angered her, and could endure it for a while.
He Menglan's anger was like a swollen river bank. The water has risen too high, and when it comes to important matters, she finally meets Sheng Yun. With a little stimulation from Sheng Yun, she will break the dam.
"In the final analysis, it was the warlord who indulged He Menglan too much."
There are also younger ladies chatting behind their backs: Do you want to be the eldest wife, the Sheng family, or the second wife, the He family?
"I'd rather be the He family. I'm light-hearted and can have a good time when I have nothing to do. With a house full of children, there's a lot of hope. The eldest lady has worked hard but has few heirs. It's too tiring."
"Who doesn't have a small temper? When has the eldest lady lost her temper? The second lady is not restrained. They say that the second lady has been wronged. Why do I feel that the eldest lady is more sad?"
The words came out somehow and reached Yan Xin's ears through Cheng Sanniang.
Yan Xin carefully listened to the comments of these official wives, and felt very bitter.
She felt sorry for Madam.
Sad because there is nothing I can do. From the moment the family was destroyed, the wife's fate was destined to have no choice, but today's result is actually the best.
No matter the best thing, it still makes Yan Xin's heart ache.
But the lady seemed not to care or to feel sorry for herself.
She told Yan Xin that at the crossing of the Yellow River, she held Sheng Yuanshan in her arms and had only one thought: "Live with dignity."
Thirty years later, Madam has never forgotten her original intention.
Her goal is clear, determined and unique.
She can throw away all external things and just hope that she and her brother can live with dignity.
——My uncle passed away in her previous life, and my kind-hearted wife was ill for half a year, and half of her faith collapsed.
In the past thirty years, she has loved and been loved; she has experienced ups and downs and also enjoyed glory. When the initial ideal seemed to have become dispensable, Madam always remembered it.
Yan Xin could imagine that even now, Madam would still have dreams about the turbid and turbulent water of the Yellow River.
By accident, the water drowned her and her young brother.
This fearful evil beast has been entrenched in the heart of the lady for decades, devouring her in her midnight dreams from time to time, causing her to wake up in a cold sweat.
No one comforted her, supported her, or made her fear dissipate.
Her son and brother were always children in her heart. They needed her more than she relied on them.
"When the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, dies, what is my original intention in living?" Yan Xin asked herself.
The biggest regret is the decline of traditional Chinese medicine.
Can she save the Chinese medicine doctor?
Yan Xin went to the Governor's Mansion every day during these days. Either help the wife with something, or say a few words to her, or squeeze her shoulders.
There was not much smile on the lady's face, but she was not worried either. She was just busy preparing Sheng Rouzhen's dowry.
Madam bought the racecourse that Yan Xin and Cheng Sanniang visited last time and counted it as one of Sheng Rouzhen's dowry - just like in her previous life.
"Madam, this is the list of New Year's gifts." The chief steward handed a ledger to Madam.
The lady thought for a while and said to the chief steward: "Go and dig out the account books for the previous five years of annual gifts."
The chief steward went to get it and quickly brought it over.
The lady gave it to Yan Xin: "Zhuzhu'er, take it and check it, and help me see if this year's gift list is appropriate. If you don't understand anything, ask me. I have too many things here, and I really can't handle this. Come."
The chief steward looked at Yan Xin and his attitude immediately became more attentive.
The young lady has not yet come to the house, but she is already helping her to run the house, which shows that the lady respects and likes her.
As for this young lady, she could flip through the account books at will. She knew where the problem was without looking carefully or using an abacus. The chief steward was in awe of her.
"Okay, I'll take a look first and give it to you tomorrow morning." Yan Xin said.
Madam: "Don't worry, just give it to me on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month."
She took a sip of tea slowly and asked Yan Xin, "How many people are working around you?"
"Western."
Yan Xin introduced Bai Shuang, Pinellia ternata, Mrs. Cheng and Ma Feng.
Bai Shuang belongs to Jing Yuanzhao; Ban Xia is in charge of Yan Xin's clothes and jewelry, as well as dressing her up; Sister Cheng is in charge of food and beverages, and various purchases of the rosin garden; Feng Ma is in charge of her mother, who holds the money box. Key, coordinating all matters in the hospital.
"This Mother Feng, how old is she?" the lady asked.
Yan Xin: "She is almost fifty. She was given to me by the Jiang family's grandmother. She is very loyal."
"You are a bit older. The two younger ones around you are a little naive and cannot help you. You have to cultivate one or two people." The lady said.
Just like Feng's mother, she will be in her [-]s in a few years. It's time to live a long life and no longer be in charge.
Among the young servants around Yan Xin, one only knows how to fight and kill, and the other only knows how to clean the room. Neither of them is the housekeeper's helper.
"After the New Year, I will assign two people for you to use." Madam said, "I will select people here first, and then Dai Zhu will teach them."
Yan Xin thanks.
