After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

The third prince said softly, "I'm fishing."

"Fishing? Is fishing fun?" Tu Bin looked curiously at the fishing rod, the small bamboo pots for the bait, and the wooden barrels used to hold the fish.There was only one fish in the bucket, as long as an adult's palm, spitting bubbles feebly.

"Is this the fish?" Tu Bin widened his eyes and pointed at the fish in the bucket.

"Yes," the third prince followed his gaze to look at the fish, "that's a fish."

Tu Bin tilted his head, blinked his big watery eyes, and looked at the third prince, "Is this the fish my father caught?"

"Yes, from the pond."

"Wow, the father is so powerful!" Tu Bin clapped his hands happily, looking at the third prince with eyes full of admiration.

"Hahaha..." Being admired by his own son, the third prince laughed proudly.He shook the fishing rod in his hand, not afraid of scaring away the fish, and said to his son with a face of temptation, "Do you want to try it? It's fun."

"Okay, okay." Tu Bin was already eager to try, so he naturally agreed.

"Come on." The third prince picked up his son and let him sit on his lap. The father and son both supported a fishing rod, "You can't talk while fishing, otherwise, the fish will be scared away."

Tu Bin quickly closed his small mouth, blinked his eyes, and said that he did not speak.

Standing behind the two of them, Mrs. Liu, from worry and fear at the beginning, to joy and joy later, back and forth, it was only time for a cup of tea.

Perhaps because of the novice halo, Tu Bin caught a small finger-long fish not long after he sat down.Tu Bin yelled happily, and the third prince didn't feel bothered, and watched his son jump up and down with a smile.

——If the little master gets along well with the prince, the princess will definitely be happy.

******

The third wife folded up the letter sent by her natal family, secretly relieved, and buried the letter paper and envelope in the brazier.

Hu Sanjia asked cautiously: "Ma'am, what did the old lady say?"

It's no wonder that the Hu San's family is acting like a show. In the past two years, every time the old lady wrote a letter, the wife's mood would not get better for a few days.

But this time, Ma Shi showed a relaxed smile.While fiddling with the charcoal fire with an iron chisel, she said with a smile: "Mother said, you don't have to do what you told me earlier."

Although Hu San's family didn't know what was going on, seeing his wife was happy, she was also happy, "The old lady still loves the wife."

Ma Shi's smile faded, he didn't speak anymore, and turned his head to serve the tea bowl.

Hu Sanjia saw that he seemed to have said something wrong again, so he didn't dare to say any more, and stepped back carefully.

Ma Shi secretly sneered: Where is the old lady who loves her?It's just that the third prince doesn't need their favor.

As early as when the second uncle Shi Nai took over the title and was reused by the sage, her natal family would send her letters from time to time, asking her to persuade the third master to work for the third prince.

What are you talking about now that the third prince is very powerful, and he will not be able to become a great treasure in the future.At that time, their third master will also be able to ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs.

Although Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Yan had some quarrels, the two sisters-in-law had a tacit understanding and never brought these secret disputes in front of the men at home.

Because they all know that Shi Nai and Shi Ding have been dependent on each other since the death of their mother-in-law, and their relationship is very good.

Come to think of it, the Ma family also knew this, so they wanted to further win over Shi Nai by wooing Shi Ding.

Mrs. Ma knew clearly in his heart that his third master had always followed his second uncle's lead.Now that the second uncle has made clear the chariots and horses and is standing at the side of the East Palace, the third master will absolutely ignore the third prince's solicitation.

Therefore, the first time he received a letter from his natal family, Ma clearly rejected it.

Then, not long after, her own mother, the old lady of the Ma family, came to the door in person and tried to persuade her.Seeing that Ma's oil and salt did not enter, he even insulted his daughter and son-in-law loudly.

Just in time, Yan learned that Ma's mother was visiting, and she, as a junior, came to see her.Before entering the courtyard, she heard the old lady yell louder and louder, each sentence getting worse and worse.

Yan Shi was stunned at the time, and turned to ask the woman guarding the gate: "Is this the old lady from the parents' family?" I didn't know, but I thought it was a shrew who scolded the street.

The old woman guarding the door nodded repeatedly: "It's the old lady of the in-laws."

"Hey!" Yan's laughed angrily, "It's just a side branch of the Zhiguo Mansion, and she dares to behave like this in my Bowling Marquis Mansion, it's against her."

Then, she stopped the mother-in-law and maidservants from announcing her, led her men aggressively into the courtyard gate, lifted the curtain, and entered the warm pavilion where close guests were entertained.

"Hey, isn't this my wife? What's the matter?"

When Madam Ma saw it was her, he was filled with shame and indignation.

——This Yan Shi was originally at odds with her, but today she made people see her jokes.

I saw Mrs. Yan walking in with a smile, glared at Mrs. Ma reproachfully, and said angrily: "Siblings, this is your fault. The wife of your in-laws is a guest. As the host, how can you not treat me well?" , but made the distinguished guests angry? If you don’t know about this, you might think that the Bowling Marquis Manor doesn’t know how to treat guests!”

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ma were stunned.

Mrs. Ma didn't expect that Mrs. Yan came in to help her; Mrs. Ma's old orange-peeled face was flushed.

Yan's words were "honored guests", but he also pointed out that Ma was the master, one of the masters of the Bowling Marquis Mansion.It's just that he didn't ask the Ma family, who has settled down, dared to offend the serious master of Baolinghou's mansion, whose power was it.

Mrs. Ma gave her daughter a wink, signaling her to help her out.

But Ma Shi is not a bun, how could he turn against Yan Shi who is obviously helping him?

Mashi pretended not to see it.The old lady Ma gritted her teeth secretly, but she couldn't do anything about her daughter, so she could only sneer a few times, and put out the money of her elders, "Is this Nai's daughter-in-law?"

"That's right." Yan blessed Fushen with a smile that was not a smile, and slowly moved to the top, pulling Ma to the left and right to sit on the main seat, scolding Hu Sanjia, "You have no eyesight." It's expensive, the distinguished guests have been here for so long, why don't they even set up a seat? "

The Hu Sanjia secretly felt happy, and slapped themselves neatly, "It's all due to the negligence of the servants, and the servants will set up seats for the distinguished guests."

As she said that, she trotted and moved a chair in, "Please sit down, honored guest." She stopped calling "Old Lady", and followed Yan Shi in calling "honored guest".

To be honest, it was the first time in the Hu family that the second wife was so pleasing to the eye since the second master took over the title.

Yan said with a smile: "My wife, please sit down. My siblings are young and don't know what to do, and I blame our mother-in-law for leaving early. But don't worry, my wife. It's a good saying, a sister-in-law is like a mother. I will definitely Teach her well so that she can no longer be so ignorant."

Old Madam Ma didn't dare to say a word except to smile awkwardly.

—what else could she say?

The meaning of Yan's words is already very clear: since Ma has married into their historian, he is a member of their historian.As long as there is something wrong, it will be taught by their historians, so don't bother you, an old lady from a relative's family, to scold you.

Next, Mrs. Yan didn't give Mrs. Ma a chance to refute, and pushed her so hard that she wanted to hide her face and run away.

After sending away the fidgeting Mrs. Ma in a good voice, Mrs. Yan glared at Mrs. Ma bitterly, "Where is the prestige of fighting with me in the past? In my own home, even people bullied."

"Second sister-in-law." Mrs. Ma called out sincerely, her eyes were a little red.

Yan said in surprise: "Oh, don't cry. If you don't know, you think I bullied you."

Mashi laughed through tears, and said with red eyes: "Second sister-in-law, I really didn't expect..."

"Why, do you think we had a few conversations in the past, and I'm just here to see the joke?" Yan glanced at her sideways, and said, "This arm is folded in the sleeve, knocking out teeth and swallowing blood. Let's do it ourselves At home, even if the door is closed, even if the dog's brain is hit, it is our own family business. But it is not the turn of outsiders to ride on the head and shit. "

Mrs. Ma was a little ashamed: "Second sister-in-law, I really...I still hold your grudge in my heart, I really shouldn't."

Yan said "Hi" and said, "What grudge does the family have? If you have a grudge, hurry up and avenge it when you find the opportunity."

Mrs. Ma rubbed her nose with a handkerchief, then turned to Hu San's family and said, "Hurry up and get rid of this residual tea, and make good tea for the second sister-in-law. It's just the snow-topped pekoe."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, although Yan Shi always chokes her, angers her, and takes advantage of her in words, he never takes advantage of her by relying on his housekeeper.

It stands to reason that after the 5 taels of silver in the public treasury were divided, the second and third bedrooms would be regarded as separated.But her monthly silver in December and December, four sets of clothes for each season, ice in summer, charcoal in winter, and what is due to her, Yan Shi has people deliver it on time.

Although it has been reduced by [-]% compared to when the old man was there, Yan's own has also been reduced, and Ma has nothing to say.

After all, the family is in a downturn, and Ma Shi is not ignorant of it.

In this regard, it can only be said that ignorance is bliss.

Yes, Yan Shi must defend her in front of outsiders.But the monthly calendars are still delivered on time, but because Yan has food in his hand, he is not in a panic.

Since Shi Nai returned home, the monthly dividends that the Xue family gave him were directly sent to the Hou's residence by the Xue family's business in Beijing.

Shi Nai has always advocated that the male should be the outsider, the female should be the insider, and that the income of the family should be kept by Mrs. Yan.

Soap and dolls add up to a monthly income of less than [-] yuan, how can the Yan family be stingy with those things?

But no matter what, the two sisters-in-law took advantage of this opportunity to completely reconcile.

Thinking back to when the big house was still there, in fact, the two of them were also on the same page.One person cannot be blamed for making such a fuss over a title.

At the end, Yan said: "If your wife comes again, please come in if you want to see her. If you don't want to see her, just send someone to tell the concierge and refuse in my name."

Since then, Mrs. Ma has never let Mrs. Ma visit the door again. Mrs. Ma has no choice but to write letters one after another, with all kinds of temptations and promises.

Until now, the third prince himself has no intention of seizing the heir apparent, the government office has ceased, and Ma's natal family, as a side branch of the government office, has no one to curry favor with, so naturally it has also ceased.

No, seeing that there was no hope for the third prince, the Ma family thought of the historian who was next to the East Palace.Mrs. Ma's letter came in again, but her tone was turned upside down.

It's just that Mrs. Ma has long been chilled by her natal family, and the Ma family's calculation may be in vain again.

The author has something to say: When I was doing the outline of the new article yesterday, I suddenly found that the maps memorized when I was studying history have been returned to the teacher, and some ancient place names and places cannot be photographed.

So, I bought three maps on Taobao.

It's okay to just watch the seller's show, but I haven't seen the real thing yet, so I don't know how it is.

I hope that 139 will not be in vain soon.
