After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, the young couple went to offer tea to Jia Daihua and his wife.

Yuniang was dragged by Mrs. Xu, who was looking forward to her grandson with red eyes, and after a good meal, she received a lot of gifts with grapes, pomegranates and other patterns that meant many children and grandchildren.

Yu Niang is the new daughter-in-law, she is thin-skinned, and she is so ashamed that she can't wait to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xu didn't want to say any more. After breakfast, she led her to the West Mansion to visit Jia Daishan and Mrs. Shi.

Because during the New Year's Eve sacrifice, Mrs. Xu ruined Mrs. Shi's calculations, and Mrs. Shi was always upset. When he saw Yuniang today, he just kept praising her for her beauty.

At that time, people paid attention to marrying wives and virtuous people, and taking concubines and beauty.

If you compliment the bride for her good looks, she will naturally accept it with a smile.

But if you keep praising a big woman's appearance without mentioning other things, it is obviously malicious.

Especially for someone like Yuniang who is naturally beautiful, before discussing marriage with Jia's family, because of her appearance, she was often picked on by others, so she hated others for talking about her beauty.

Xu Shi was also very unhappy.

She herself is not the one who judges people by their appearance, what they value is Li's family style and Li's own character, so how can she allow others to make irresponsible remarks?

Therefore, she gently patted her daughter-in-law's hand to appease her, and said with a smile, "Who said it wasn't? When I first fell in love with her, I just thought that I would have a grandson like a jade pile in the future. Of course, The most important thing is that the in-laws have a good family style. The in-laws have two sons and one daughter, and the only concubine daughter is only three years old. It is said that the concubine was personally arranged for the in-laws because the in-laws didn’t want to suffer any more childbirth. What about this man? Only when the back house is stable can we be motivated!"

Shi's stomach ached after hearing the words, but he didn't dare to show it at all.

It was she who first alluded to Li's lack of beauty and virtue, and Xu said that there were many concubines in her house, and there were many concubines and concubines, so what could she do?

She didn't say it clearly, and the Shi family didn't name her.

At this time, apart from Jia She and Jia Zheng, Jia Daishan had three concubine daughters and two concubine sons.Coupled with this in Shi's belly, it is really a blessing for many children.

But those five concubines are thorns in Shi's eyes and thorns in his flesh, and he can't wait to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Since her mother-in-law took the lead for her, Yuniang would not just sit around and let her mother-in-law be the villain alone.

She held a cup of tea for Mrs. Xu with her own hands, and soon a shy and happy smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "My master and wife value him the most. Apart from his talent, he is polite, well-behaved and not pedantic." .”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was so ashamed that she couldn't even lift her head.

Mrs. Xu glanced at her with admiration, and said with a face full of relief: "I have never thought of anything else in my whole life. As long as you two are beautiful and beautiful, you can give me more grandsons and granddaughters born by your own blood. I am also satisfied.”

She said "go out" one by one, like stabbing Shi Shi's heart with a needle, which made her feel tight in the chest and short of breath.

Originally, Xu Shi and Yu Niang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't plan to stay here for long, because Xu Shi didn't like Shi Shi's attitude towards the eldest son Jia She.

But now, they are not in a hurry to leave, they talk about this and that later.

Then they praised tea, desserts, and chatted nonsense. After sitting for two hours, Mrs. Xu suddenly realized and said, "Oh, before I know it, it's getting dark. Brother and sister, I still have a lot of trouble at home." , I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Shi made another stalk: You are the ones who are here to hold you back, why in the end, it seems like I am holding you back?

But seeing Yuniang getting up and bowing to her to leave, no matter how weak she felt, she had to force her smile and send him to the door of the living room.

As soon as the two left, Shi's face was pulled down, he held his stomach and gritted his teeth and said: "These two whores don't expect me to be good!"

She also thought that when her mother-in-law Sun Shi was still there, Xu Shi always treated her politely.

Now as soon as Mrs. Sun left, she came to fight against herself.

This Mrs. Xu is clearly picking on her mother-in-law and looking down on herself.

She didn't even think about it, when Mrs. Sun was around, everything around Jia She was taken care of in perfect order.

Naturally, Xu would only sympathize with her eldest son who was taken away by her mother-in-law, and who was adopted did not kiss her.

But since Mrs. Sun left, Jia She's living standard has not only plummeted, but also far worse than before.

People sympathize with the weak, and the Xu family is no exception.

Seeing Jia She's situation like this, she felt that Shi Shi, as a mother, was so cruel to her own son, no wonder Jia She didn't kiss her.

Originally, these were the family affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.Although it is impossible to write two Jia characters in one stroke, they are two families after all.

Although Xu felt that Jia She was pitiful, but his parents were there, she could at most sympathize in private and help when she could, but she would not do anything to Shi.

But this does not mean that Shi can bully her.

She is a clan wife, and all sacrifices, weddings and funerals in the clan fall within the scope of her duties.

No matter who caused trouble for her during the sacrificial ceremony, it was a challenge to her authority, and she would never tolerate it.

Originally, Jia Jing stood in the wrong place during the sacrifice, Xu thought it was because he was young and ignorant, and didn't think of coming to other places.

Looking at it now, how could this Jia Zheng be ignorant?

He is too wise.

As for the position of Jia Amnesty during the sacrificial ceremony, in all likelihood it was Shi who instigated it behind his back.

Thinking of this, Xu's face darkened: What is Shi doing?Now I want to mess up the order of seniority and inferiority.One day in the future, will she still want to take away her right as the clan's wife?

But Mrs. Xu didn't know that many years later, when her grandson's step-wife, Mrs. You, was suppressed by Mrs. Shi when she became the clan's wife?

Of course she couldn't predict this.

But just having such a guess is enough to make Xu's heart pimple.

Yuniang followed her mother-in-law, and seeing Xu's complexion, she thought she was angry with Shi, so she persuaded her: "People say that one pregnancy is stupid for three years. According to the daughter-in-law, the aunt next door is confused. Ma'am, don't be familiar with her."

Mrs. Xu was amused by her, and said: "I'm as knowledgeable as her, so I can't be angry. I think she has become more and more melodious in recent years. You are a junior, so don't talk to her easily in the future, so as not to be taken advantage of by her." The seniority is taken care of."

"Hey," Yuniang replied, "I always listen to my wife."

Seeing that she knew what was going on, Xu patted her hand in relief.

Yu Niang said again: "This is the first day my daughter-in-law came to our house, and she will cook some special dishes in the evening. Please taste the master and wife."

This is a rule in the south. The first day a bride is a beginner, she must let her mother-in-law take a test on her cooking skills. This is not important in the capital.

Because Yuniang's mother is a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, although she didn't force her daughter-in-law, she taught her a few simple dishes.

After all, this is the filial piety of the daughter-in-law. Although Xu is not aware of this Jiangnan rule, he always appreciates it in his heart.

But she blamed her and said: "Although our family is not very rich, we can still support a few cooks. Just this time, don't be too tired in the future."

Yu Niang said: "Where are you tired? Since my wife is sympathetic to me, I will have a reason to be lazy in the future."

Xu pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, I said you were honest earlier, so you exposed the fox's tail?" Then he went to pinch her mouth.

While hiding, Yu Niang smiled and said, "Isn't it because of your wife's kindness that you love us juniors?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking and laughing, and they had already arrived in the inner courtyard.

Yu Niang tidied up, then retreated to the kitchen.

The girls and wives in our family cook and say they do it by themselves, but in fact, almost none of them really need to do it themselves.

Yuniang just stood on the side and instructed the cook how to use the knife, what kind of cuts to cut, whether to fry or fry, how to put seasonings, and how to put ingredients.

Although it was always the cook who did the work, if the master made a move, it was the master who did it.

In less than half a box, Yuniang prepared six dishes and one soup. After asking the master and the uncle came back, she asked people to put the dishes in the flower hall.

The family warmed a jug of rice wine and a jug of fruit wine, and happily ate and drank.

During the period, Mrs. Xu mentioned that this dish was Yuniang's handicraft, and praised her again and again.

Jia Daihua also showed satisfaction, and said that Jia Jing was blessed and found a good wife.

Seeing the harmony between his mother and his wife, Jia Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it was right not to marry Wu in this life.

When discussing relatives in this life, part of the reason why Jia Jing gave up his wife Wu in his previous life was that Wu's temperament was too gentle and restrained, and he couldn't get along with the vigorous and resolute Xu.

Wu felt that her mother-in-law looked down on her, so she always pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.

Xu felt that this daughter-in-law was thinking too much. She could interpret seven or eight meanings in a word, and none of them was good.

As time went by, Mrs. Xu didn't bother to talk to Mrs. Wu, and she didn't pay attention to many things that clan wives should do.

Wu's self-study is not very good, and naturally she is weaker when teaching her daughter-in-law.

In addition, Shi Shi relied on his seniority to win them over, and in the end, it turned out that Shi Shi was better than a clan wife than a clan wife.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu smiled and drove the young couple out and let them go back to their yard.

With a blushing face, Yuniang retreated beside Jia Jing, and the husband and wife took advantage of the moonlight to walk slowly towards Taorang Pavilion.

Seeing that she just lowered her head and didn't speak, Jia Jing had nothing to say: "In our house, are you still used to it?"

Yuniang said "hmm", her voice was soft and soft, "When I was a girl, I often heard people say that it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law of someone else's family, and I often feel uneasy. I don't know, my wife treats me like a daughter-in-law. Like."

Jia Jing smiled and said: "Then we should be more filial to the master and wife from now on."

He knew in his heart that it was impossible to be like his own daughter.

But Mrs. Xu is not that kind of wicked mother-in-law who doesn't like to torture her daughter-in-law.

As for Wu Shi, she just doesn't like to talk to her.

Yuniang said: "You still need to say it? My wife treats me so well, so I naturally want to encourage and repay."

Jia Jing smiled softly: "Okay, okay, I made a mistake, okay?"

Yuniang paused and said angrily, "Master!" But the smile on her face couldn't be melted away.
