After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Since he was visiting Xiao's house, Baochai had to visit Mrs. Xiao who was in charge first.

Mrs. Xiao has always been kind to the juniors, but she can't hide the shrewd and capable energy all over her body.From Baochai's point of view, even Wang Xifeng, Lian's second grandmother in the Rongguo Mansion, was inferior to Mrs. Xiao by more than a notch.

Wang Xifeng looks shrewd, but she is actually played around by her aunt Jia Wang.But Mrs. Xiao really understands and knows everything about the Xiao family like the back of her hand.

Although Mrs. Xiao concealed it very well, Baochai always felt that she was worried and absent-minded.

But she wasn't curious either.With such a large family business of the Xiao family, it is quite normal for a few problems to arise.And Mrs. Xiao is the clan wife and head of the family of this generation, so if anything happens, it must be impossible to get around her.

And what Baochai can do is to resign early, so as not to cause trouble to others.

"Good boy, go and play."

"Mother, my daughter is leaving."

"Ma'am, Baochai will leave first."

Watching Xiao Ling and Baochai go out, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help sighing, and said to Mother He beside her, "Look, why are other people's children so sensible? The one I gave birth to is simply a villain!"

Mother He quickly brought her a cup of tea, and comforted her: "The uncle is still filial, so why should the wife be angry with people with foreign surnames?"

"People with foreign surnames, people with foreign surnames?" Mrs. Xiao sneered twice, and said through gnashing of teeth, "I'm afraid in his heart, they are a husband and wife, and we, parents, brothers and sisters, are outsiders!"

"Madam, calm down, calm down." Mama He calmed down for her, and didn't know how to relieve her for a while.

Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "I tried my best to send him to study at the beginning. What was the purpose? I wanted to cultivate a member of our family in the court? But he is lucky. Thinking about flying away!"

"That's all. Just treat him as a waste of time, as if I don't have this son. But now, what does he want to do?"

Having said that, Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she choked in her trachea and coughed violently.

"Oh, ma'am, you must calm down. Uncle was just confused for a while, and was caught by grandma." Mother He was startled, and while patting her on the back, she picked up nice words.

After a while, Mrs. Xiao came over slowly, and said with a wry smile: "Mother He, you don't have to speak well for him. I raise my son by myself, don't I know myself? He is more promising than his father!" Finally One sentence, with endless contempt and ridicule.

The uncle of the Xiao family is the son of Mrs. Xiao, and the father of the uncle of the Xiao family is naturally Mrs. Xiao's husband.

No, to be precise, it is Mrs. Xiao's deceased husband.

When the two first got married, it wasn't like they didn't have honey.

However, all this changed after Mr. Xiao wanted to surpass his wife and take over the rights of the Xiao family from his mother, but was strictly rejected by his mother.

"In all generations of my Xiao family, the daughter-in-law has been in power. Only when the men deal with external affairs can my Xiao family be rich and honored for a hundred years. It can be seen how prescient our ancestors were when they set the rules. As the eldest son of the Xiao family, you should lead by example. Protecting the family law of the ancestors is what it is!"

These are the original words of the old lady.

Master Xiao thinks that his talent is not inferior to anyone, so why is he willing to be controlled by his wife for the rest of his life?

However, he couldn't resist his mother, so he could only watch helplessly as his wife gradually took over the power of the Xiao family and became the new ruler of the Xiao family.

Then, he vented this dissatisfaction on his wife, easily refused to have sex with his wife, missed the place of fireworks, and secretly destroyed the relationship between his son and his wife in front of his son, making his son think that his mother wanted to control his life.

He succeeded.

Sure enough, their son became more and more alienated from Mrs. Xiao.Mrs. Xiao really wanted to ease things up, but she was in charge of Nuo Da's family business. There were hundreds of people in the family, and many people in the side line counted on her to eat, which made her useless.

She arranged for her son to study for the imperial examination, although it is for the sake of the family, but in it, is there no love for her son?

He is not the only male in the Xiao family, Master Xiao Er has two sons.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, this class has not changed for thousands of years.The reason Mrs. Xiao insisted on arranging for her son to take the imperial examination was because she wanted her son to get rid of the word "shang" and become a master?

For this reason, she even spared no effort to train Master Xiao Er's eldest daughter-in-law, and prepared to let Er Fang take over the family business.

But when her painstaking efforts came to her son, it turned into disregarding his wishes and forcibly arranging his life.

What's even more ridiculous is that while holding such an idea, he also used the Xiao family's resources without hesitation.Saying "serve the bowl to eat, put the bowl to scold your mother", that really didn't wrong him at all.

And this time, it was the first time that the Xiao family took his wife home after he married a noble daughter in the capital.

——Yes, when he married his wife, he just sent a letter to his family to send the betrothal gift to the capital. He did not go home at all, but performed the ceremony in a house purchased by the Xiao family in the capital. .

In order to prevent people from saying that her son was married, Mrs. Xiao had to travel all the way to the capital to officiate the wedding ceremony for them.

However, people don't appreciate it very much.

The uncle of the Xiao family was called Chengyun, and he married a concubine lady from the Duke's mansion.

The Duke of Zhiguo is also one of the four kings and eight princes who were appointed at the founding of the country. In this generation, only the title of first-class earl is left.And Xiao Chengyun married the daughter of the contemporary uncle Ma Jie, who could barely be called a lady of the government.

Although this Mrs. Ma is not a direct descendant, he has a very proud temper.

No, it should be said that because she is not a direct descendant, she is very proud in front of Xiao Chengyun and the Xiao family on weekdays, and she doesn't treat people seriously.

However, the arrogance that is exposed on the surface cannot conceal the petty air with shallow eyes.

No, on Baochai's side, Xiao Ling couldn't help but complained to Baochai.

"Miss Huangongfu, the first time we met, her eyes were stuck on the flower hairpin on my head, and I couldn't even pull it out." Xiao Ling's tone was full of disdain, "There are even more ridiculous things. On the second day , my elder brother found me, and he wanted me to give that hairpin to her. Oh, I laughed so hard!"

As Xiao Ling said, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Baochai was also a little dumbfounded: "This...isn't it?"

She had lived in Rongguo Mansion for so many years in her previous life, so she naturally understood that many times, the life of the so-called Miss Gongfu was far inferior to that of business girls like them.

But the women she met, whether it was Yingchun who was gentle and silent to the point of being cowardly, or Yingchun who looked forward to flying but was inferior to her background, and Xichun who was still young.Although they can't be called perfect, they all have the reserve and arrogance of a big lady. How can there be someone like Ma Shi?

Xiao Ling said: "If I didn't experience it personally, I wouldn't believe it. No matter how much I think about it, the lady of the Gongfu is better than our merchant girl, right?"

Although Xiao Ling has covered it up, Baochai still directly felt Xiao Ling's contempt and malice towards his sister-in-law Ma.Otherwise, she wouldn't speak ill of her family to an outsider.

Xiao Ling didn't regard Mrs. Ma as her own family at all.

Baochai secretly guessed: It seems that Mrs. Xiao's troubles must have something to do with Mrs. Ma.

Baochai's guess is infinitely close to the truth.

But before entering the Xiao family's ancestral house, Mrs. Ma had a sense of superiority.This is the sense of superiority brought about by the gap in status.

A dignified mansion, a merchant.

No matter how you look at it, it's all very different.

However, since entering the second sect, that sense of superiority has been crumbling.After seeing how little sister-in-law Xiao Ling spent on food and clothing, the inferiority complex that was deeply suppressed in her heart emerged from time to time, gnawing at her sensitive heart like ants.

She remembered that when she was not enthroned today, she followed her aunt to visit the house of her aunt, who was Princess Zhongning, and her food and clothing were no more than that.

She used to be crazily jealous of her sister-in-law, jealous that she was born as a son-in-law, could enjoy the best resources in the family, and could marry the third prince as a concubine.

But she is just a concubine, her life's destiny is in the hands of her aunt, she dare not be restless, let alone show the slightest jealousy towards her aunt.

Later, the king of Zhongning County failed to seize the throne, and the family's relationship with his sister-in-law gradually became estranged, and the pressure brought on by her sister-in-law was slowly suppressed by her to the bottom of her heart.

However, in the Xiao family, in front of Xiao Ling, she felt this jealousy again.

She took it for granted that she was jealous of her own sister-in-law; jealous of Xiao Ling, a merchant girl, made her feel ashamed and embarrassed.

In addition, she hadn't seen too many good things since she was a child, and she already coveted the wealth of the Xiao family, so she just encouraged her husband to compete for the family property?

Mrs. Xiao naturally disagreed.

You know, their Xiao family is a merchant.Although this dynasty allows merchants to take the imperial examination, the number of places is very limited, and the Xiao family is not an imperial merchant, so it is not easy to get this place.

After the quota was obtained, Mrs. Xiao had to give up the inheritance right in order to fight for her son, and promised that the future family business would be handed over to the second wife.

Now, the eldest daughter-in-law of the second master Xiao has been studying with Mrs. Xiao for several years, and Mrs. Xiao is already prepared to gradually delegate power after the second daughter gets married.

At this time, someone suddenly stepped in, even if it was her own son, Mrs. Xiao would not agree.

What's more, at first glance, Mrs. Ma is not able to manage the family. If the Xiao family falls into her hands, it will be ruined sooner or later!

Because of this matter, Xiao Chengyun often made troubles in front of Mrs. Xiao, even the second room.Mrs. Xiao forced herself to hold her breath, so she didn't get mad at him.

Xiao Ling's father passed away early, and he was almost brought up by his mother. Seeing his mother being so angry, he was naturally very dissatisfied with Xiao Chengyun and his wife, and even unwilling to treat Mrs. Ma as his own family.
