Daming female local tyrant

The Tang family took their daughter Xiao Ruyu back, scolded her with a dark face, did not go to the ethnology school to go to school with other sisters from other houses, and did not become a female celebrity called the embroiderer invited by the family for two days, what is she going to do? Well.

Xiao Ruyu was not afraid of Tang, stuck out her tongue and said that she was playing with her sister-in-law for a while and forgot, so she went to memorize all the books that the female husband in the ethnology school asked to memorize, the words were written, and the female celebrity also did it.

Finally she said: "Mom, I'm going to play with my sister-in-law. It won't delay things. I'll go back to the house and make up for it."

Tang's face continued to be dark: "Fortunately, you still have self-knowledge. You know that you have wasted these two days, and you know how to make up your homework. Go, I will check before dinner tonight."

Xiao Ruyu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then went back to the room accompanied by her little maid.

Seeing that her daughter was gone, Tang took the tea brought by her former confidant mother-in-law Chen, took a sip after letting out a sigh, and said that her daughter Ruyu was really worrying, unlike her son Yulang who had never been a child since childhood. Let her worry about it.

"Ma'am, I heard a rumor recently, I wonder if I should tell my wife?" Chen's mother smiled obsequiously.

Tang continued to drink tea: "What are the rumors, let's hear it."

Mother Chen: "I heard that the young mistress went to Qixia Temple and lived in the Shen family's other courtyard, and brought back two Shen family maids from the Shen family's other courtyard..."

"Does she dislike the poor service of our Xiao family's maids? Or is there no one in our Xiao family, and she wants to bring the maids back from her mother's house." Tang said coldly, then muttered again, "Yulang won't let me Worrying, but the woman he married made me worry a lot, hey..."

"Ma'am, the young mistress brought back two maids from the Shen family, and it was said that they were going to be the young master's roommates."

"What? Who did you hear that from?"

No wonder Tang was surprised, in her opinion, her daughter-in-law Shen Wan is a jealous person, she hasn't conceived in the past three years, and she doesn't allow other women to touch her son.As soon as she got married, she dismissed the beautiful maids who were in the son's room, and replaced them with a few black, fat and unattractive maids.

Because Shen Wan is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and the Shen family is the head of the famous family in Jinling, plus Shen Wan is beautiful and intelligent, and there are many dowries.People in Jinling City said that Xiao Yulang made money by marrying a wife, and the elders of the Xiao family treated Shen Wan very politely.

Therefore, even though Shen Wan's stomach didn't move for two years, the elders of the Xiao family didn't say they wanted Xiao Yulang to take a concubine.It wasn't until the third year that the elders of the Xiao family couldn't bear it any longer. They thought of taking concubines for Xiao Yulang. After all, they believed that the eldest grandson of the Xiao family must have no heirs, otherwise the patriarch of the clan would change hands.

But if they want to accept concubines for Xiao Yulang, they still have to worry about it, fearing that Shen Wan will not follow her, and there will be a quarrel, and when the Shen family and the Xiao family are at odds, the business cooperation between the two families will be affected, and the Shen family will even deal with the Xiao family.

Now she heard Mother Chen say that her daughter-in-law Shen Wan specially brought back two maids from the Shen family to be his son's roommates, and she would be surprised if she gave birth to a son and a half daughter.

So she didn't even drink the tea, put down the teacup, and stared at Mother Chen for questioning.

Mother Chen said: "The servants in the house are spreading the news, and the old servant went to see the two maids that the young mistress brought back. They looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a round face. Dear, the oval face is very beautiful. As soon as they came, they became the second-class maids in front of the young mistress, and wore the water-red bijia and dresses that only the second-class maids could wear. It is said that they did not serve in front of the young mistress for a few days. day."

Tang shi raised her hand when she heard this: "Okay, don't talk about it, just go to Yuanyanglou and call the two maids brought back by my daughter-in-law from Shen's house to me to have a look. Even if she gave I have to give Yulang a nod to the people in the house that Yulang picks, otherwise any kind of lowly maidservant can serve Yulang. The person who serves Yulang must be a daughter of an innocent family."

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Chen respectfully agreed, then stepped back and went to the mandarin duck building to pass on the message.

Mother Chen had just left, when a maid from outside came in to tell that Mrs. Wu and Tang Duanshu and their mother had arrived.

Tang asked the servant girl to bring them in.

After Wu Shi and Tang Duanshu came in to greet Tang Shi, they sat down on the chair that Tang Shi had taken.

As soon as Mrs. Wu sat down, she took out a sachet made of autumn-scented gold thread, held it in both hands and said to Mrs. Tang: "Sister-in-law, this is me and Duan Shu went to Tanjue Temple to offer incense yesterday. The abbot in the house opened a sachet for curing diseases, prolonging life and calming the mind. This sachet was embroidered by Duan Shu with stitches and threads, and it was specially presented to my sister-in-law."

Tang took it over, looked at it twice, and praised Tang Duanshu for her dexterity, unlike her daughter Ruyu who couldn't even embroider a handkerchief well.

Then she put the sachet on her body, which is considered to have accepted the wishes of Wu's mother and daughter.

Without talking for a while, Mother Chen went back and forth, bringing Jinglan and Cuizhu back.

At that time, Jing Lan was writing in Shen Wan's study on the south floor. As soon as she wrote "Nine", Mother Chen came up.After meeting Shen Wan, she passed on Tang's words, saying that Jing Lan and Cui Zhu, the maids brought back by Shen Wan, would go to Fu Gui Tang to see his wife.

The main hall where the Tang family lived with her husband Xiao Yanlu hung a plaque "Fuguitang", and the people in Xiao's house collectively called Tang's place the Fuguitang.

So Jing Lan put down the brush in her hand and followed Mother Chen downstairs. Before going downstairs, Shen Wan told her to just go and not be afraid.

Jing Lan was not actually afraid, but just felt strange why the wife of the Xiao family, Tang Shi, Shen Wan's mother-in-law wanted to see herself and Cuizhu.

Could it be that the Tang family was too busy, and wanted to see her daughter-in-law brought back two maids from the Shen family courtyard?

When she went downstairs, she met Cui Zhu who was called by An Chun, followed Mother Chen and her two maidservants through another narrow alley, turned a few turns, and arrived at the main hall of the main house of Xiao's mansion.

On the lintel of the main hall hangs a gold plaque with the words "Fuguitang" written on it.

This is the main hall of the Xiao family mansion, it is really spacious and resplendent, there are many gold and jade things displayed in the hall, all of which Jing Lan does not know but thinks are expensive.

But Mrs. Tang was not in the main hall, but sitting in the east room on the right, next to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Tang Duanshu.

Calling Jinglan and Cuizhu to meet each other, Tang did not mean to avoid Wu's mother and daughter.

Because she thinks that sooner or later, the Wu family's mother and daughter will know about this matter, or it's possible that they already know about it, otherwise why would they give her a consecrated sachet to please herself?

Jinglan and Cuizhu came in, and saluted Tang according to the etiquette they had learned in the past two days to greet An Daofu.

Tang asked them to stand up straight and look up at them carefully.

Not only Tang's, but everyone else in the room was looking at Jinglan and Cuizhu.

Jing Lan was fine, facing the gazes of so many people calmly and calmly, but Cui Zhu was so frightened that her legs became weak and her whole body was shaking like chaff.

Tang's first looked down on Cui Zhu, thinking that she had a round face and a good-looking face, and she had never seen the world. With so few people in the room staring at her, she trembled with fear.

I don't know what the daughter-in-law took a fancy to in this emerald bamboo, so she chose her to be the housekeeper for her son Yulang.

Thinking of this, she took another look at the green bamboo, saw her slender waist and hips, and thought, could it be that the daughter-in-law thought this little maid was so good-looking, so she picked her?

Well, for the sake of the difficulty of the Xiao family's family's heir, let her son take over the house for the time being with mediocre qualifications. As long as she and Yulang give birth to a boy, it is acceptable to grow up like this.

Tang went to look at Jinglan again, looked at it twice carefully from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and nodded slightly.

She thinks that the maid chosen by her daughter-in-law is a beauty in terms of appearance and figure, and when she grows up, she will be no worse than Shen Wan in appearance.Especially this servant girl was seen by so many people, and Tang's calm and composed appearance was recognized by Tang.

The son Yulang's aunts are not capable of being a woman with any qualifications. After all, the children of the Xiao family will be born from the womb of these aunts in the future.Otherwise, the big family pays attention to being well-matched, and there is nothing to do with a talented man, a beautiful woman, and a concubine.

The Tang family took a fancy to Jing Lan, and first asked about Jing Lan's situation, such as her age, the number of people in her family, her ability to read and so on.

Jing Lan told the truth about her situation, and when she heard that her daughter-in-law Shen Wan was teaching Jing Lan how to read and write, Tang said: "Your master has figured it out this time, only if you have such a broad mind will you be blessed. "

Then Tang asked about Cui Zhu's situation, and Cui Zhu told the truth, but Tang curled her lips after hearing this.She probably thinks that Cuizhu's family is not as good as Jinglan's family. Cuizhu's family is a farm laborer, and Jinglan's family has a few acres of Susukida. If it wasn't for her brothers' mistakes, Jinglan would not be able to become Shen Wan's maid. .

Before asking Mother Chen to take them down, Tang shi admired Jinglan and Cuizhu.

Jing Lan got a pair of twisted silk silver bracelets, and Cui Zhu got a silver hairpin.

After the two thanked the rewards and withdrew, Tang sipped his tea happily again.

Wu Shi and Tang Duanshu were sitting next to each other, and they could see Jinglan and Cui Zhu clearly. Later, they heard what Tang asked them about, and they also saw clearly what Tang rewarded them.

With her daughter in front of her, Mrs. Wu couldn't ask her sister-in-law how she planned to arrange her daughter, so she deliberately said that her daughter would go to embroider women's red with Ruyu, and sent her away.

After her daughter left, Wu asked Tang: "Sister-in-law, those two maids just now..."

Tang said slowly: "I won't hide it from you, my daughter-in-law brought these two little maids from Shen's house, and they planned to be Yulang's roommates. When Yulang comes back from Yangzhou, I will ask him to take them in." house."

"Then... what about my Duanshu? Sister-in-law, didn't you promise me that Yulang and Duanshu would be together?"

"What's your brain? If Yulang takes two maidservants as roommates, it's easy to accept Duanshu? Don't worry, Yulang likes Duanshu, even if you have those two maids, If a servant girl is in the house, Duanshu still wants to be taller than them, or step on them."

"Can you take in my family Duanshu first, and then take those two maids? I just heard that they are not very old, you can wait until they are older."

"This... wait for Yulang to come back, let's hear what he has to say."

It's all said and done, and the sister-in-law has also made a promise. As a distant relative attached to the Xiao family, Wu knows that she can't talk any more.After all, Xiao Yulang, as the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, had no control over whether she would take the concubine first or take over the house first.Now, only according to what he said yesterday when he went to see his nephew Qingyuan, he had to meet Xiao Yulang first, and then come up with a beauty trick, making Xiao Yulang greedy for new things, and making promises can make things settled.

No matter what, the daughter Duanshu must first become Xiao Yulang's concubine in order to gain the upper hand, and then suppress the two little maids that Shen Wan gave to Xiao Yulang as roommates.It is possible to conceive first if you take the first step. If the husband has a son, he will be the eldest son.And if Shen Wan is gone in the future, the daughter can be the stepmother, and the son can be recorded under the name of his ex-wife Shen Wan and become the eldest son.Such things often happen in the big families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jinglan and Cuizhu came out of Fuguitang, and were sent back to Yuanyanglou by another maid in front of the Tang family.

Along the way, Cuizhu was laughing, and she looked and looked at the silver hairpin in her hand.

Jinglan is different from Cuizhu, she is not happy, but puzzled.She thought, what is the rule of the Xiao family, the wife in charge even rewards the new maid.What's more, it's a silverware, Cuizhu's silver hairpin needs at least two taels of silver to make it.And the pair of twisted silk silver bracelets in his hand should cost at least five or six taels of silver.Even if the Xiao family is a wealthy family, is this reward a bit too heavy for the two maids who have just entered the house?
