Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-October. On this day, Wen Jiaozheng and Madam Xu were discussing to invite the family members of Yangzhou officials to come to their home for a reunion so that they could get to know each other.

When Madam Xu finished introducing the situation of each family in Yangzhou, and the two of them were writing the list of personnel, Yumei came in to report, saying that Aunt Shen asked to see her, and asked if Madam was free.

After marrying Lin Hai, Wen Jiao was impatient to see these aunts every day, even if it was a job, Wen Jiao was a modern person at heart, and didn't want to see her husband's concubine every day just after getting married.

Wen Jiao also wanted to test these aunts, so he ordered them not to come to pay their respects every day.

I thought it must be the Cao family who couldn't help but come first, but it turned out to be the soft-looking Shen family.

Thinking that Lin Hai would not be at home tomorrow if he got up early—since a few days ago, Lin Hai has been busy every day, and rarely returned to the backyard during the day, Wen Jiao said: "If it's not something urgent, let her come tomorrow at the right time."

Seeing someone going to send a message to Mrs. Shen, Wen Jiao ordered them to bring over the list of gifts over the years to see who gave flashy gifts, who gave gifts that were affectionate, who gave gifts politely, and who gave gifts coldly. It is better to have a deeper understanding of the distance and intimacy of the relationship with each family.

It's not that I found this specially for the family members of Yangzhou.

In Yangzhou, only one magistrate and two co-prefects could come to Lin Hai's house for a banquet, as well as a few officials in the third, fourth, and fifth ranks, such as the salt transport envoys, no matter how hard they invited, they couldn't invite flowers.

Looking for the list of gifts over the years is just to see the scope of the Lin family's communication in these years, so that they can know what they are doing.

It is also the first time for Wen Jiao to be his wife. One of the jobs of our wife is to maintain the façade of family communication.

Wen Jiao didn't have much experience in this area, and Mrs. Bai's emergency training was only a month of cramming, so he had to study hard and catch up.

Originally, Wen Jiao wanted to ask Daiyu to study together and help each other. Since Daiyu is not going to school now, it is better to ask her to learn to be a housekeeper earlier.

It's just that there are only three major social events in the Lin family in recent years: the birth of Daiyu's younger brother, the premature death of Daiyu's younger brother, and the death of Jia Min.Therefore, it is up to Wen Jiao to take her time to make a quick decision.

When Mrs. Chen heard that Madam asked her to go over tomorrow, she was relieved at first, and then thought of hearing people say that the master is often in the madam's courtyard recently, maybe he can see him again, she was even more secretly happy.

When Mrs. Xian was still there, the master didn't come to her very often, only two or three times a year, and Mrs. Xian persuaded the master to come.

After Mrs. Xian left, the master only came once, and since the marriage decree came down, the master never came to the backyard even once.

Therefore, Shen hasn't seen Lin Hai for more than half a year, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

After thanking the girl who sent the message, Shen stood there for a while, hurriedly opened the cabinet and opened the embroidery she was going to give to his wife, and examined it carefully again.

I picked clothes and jewelry again, but after much deliberation, I still chose the satin clothes and jewelry that my wife gave me.

On the second day, Wen Jiao listened to the steward's reply in the hall of Baoxia. It happened to be Sichu. He heard that Aunt Shen had arrived.

This is also the job of the head wife: to manage and educate the concubines, so that the concubines can spread the branches and leaves for the family.However, Wen Jiao does not intend to carry out the latter work now.

Shen came in with a low eyebrow, and saluted respectfully.Wen Jiao noticed that the girl behind her was holding a bundle, but she couldn't see it, so she cried out with a smile, and gave her a seat again.

Shen told her to sit down as she said, and sat down.

Seeing that Mrs. Shen didn't intend to speak, Wen Jiao first smiled and said, "There are too many things to do recently, and I haven't made time to see you. What do you do in the house every day? It's cold, and if you don't have anything, ask someone to come and talk to you." .”

Shen said politely: "Thank you Madam for your concern, Madam manages the family well, everything is fine with me, I don't need anything, I just do some sewing in the house every day."

That's all?Then why is this Mrs. Shen here?

Wen Jiao recalled that she could be called pleasant-looking just now, and wondered if Mrs. Shen was too nervous, so she patiently smiled and said, "Sewing is the most annoying thing, and it's good to be quiet."

Shen still looked the same: "Ma'am is right, I also feel that I often do needlework, and my heart is quieter."

Wen Jiao was a little impatient.

Why do the subordinates come to the leader by themselves to report the latest state of mind, to give gifts to the leader to get closer to each other, and not to speak up when they come, but to ask the leader and coax the child, asking and answering every detail?

Usually, after seeing the steward, it was the time when Wen Jiao and Daiyu got together and talked.

In the past few days, Wen Jiao has to read a lot of books and gifts, take time to do some sewing, arrange meals for a family of three, etc., and the schedule is full.

Now Shen Shi is coy and silent, Wen Jiao just feels that he doesn't know what to say, and time is wasted.It's not easy for the little girl holding the burden behind her, I'm afraid her hands are sore.

When he opened his mouth again, Wen Jiao was no longer so pleasant, but he still smiled and said: "I still have something to do here, if there is nothing else, then go back first."

It turned out that Jia Min had no children for many years. Seeing that Zheng Zhou's two aunts had not had a son and a half daughter for ten years, she bought a girl from outside. She only said that she wanted a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a good color, a soft temperament and a kind personality. □After two or three years, she opened her face to be Lin Hai's concubine.

Seeing that Shen's temperament is submissive, Jia Min is also very quiet on weekdays and does not argue with others, so she is very satisfied.Who would have thought that the bad thing would be that it is too soft, like a clay beauty, not moving.

Lin Hai was also very busy with official business in front of him, and he went to the backyard just to relax, and he was still interested once or twice, so he coaxed Shen patiently.

The number of times is too many, and she is not a regular wife. In order to carry on the family line, Lin Hai doesn't want to be tired all day and face a wooden man, so the number of visits gradually decreases or even stops.

Jia Min couldn't help it, so he picked another lively one, thinking that he would also bring Shen's with him.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cao, who is too lively, doesn't like Shen's temperament, but often sarcastically, Jia Min ordered Madam Xu to teach her a few times to make it better.

Two years later, Jia Min became pregnant with Daiyu herself, and another two years later, she gave birth to a brother, so she didn't mention the matter of taking a new concubine.

Mrs. Shen has been a concubine for many years, and she has raised her well-clothed and well-fed, but she has a little temper. If Mrs. Cao is too much, she dares to refute her.

But in front of Lin Hai and Jia Min, he is still docile and almost cowardly, and has not improved in ten years.

Now that there is a new wife, who is even more imposing than the previous wife, Shen feels more and more like a mouse meeting a cat.

Those words that I thought about in the room, but I couldn't say a word when I saw the new wife.So Wen Jiao asked a few questions, but she just answered them one by one, not daring to express her intentions.

Seeing that Wen Jiao ordered her to go back, Shen Shi hurriedly said: "The concubine is indeed here for something. Hearing that the madam is coming, the concubine embroidered a Buddhist scripture and wanted to give it to the madam. Because the madam was busy a few days ago, she didn't dare to disturb her. "

After speaking, he stood up and took the bundle from Xiaotao's hands, and handed it over respectfully.

Bai Shuang stepped forward to take it, Bai Lu opened the bag, and the two unfolded it for Wen Jiao to see.Wen Jiao sees that it is the Heart Sutra of a whole blessing embroidery, and one can see that it is carefully made.

I also heard from Mrs. Shen that she has been doing embroidery since she received the imperial decree. Didn't she embroider for half a year?

Just now she was restless, but now seeing this embroidered dress, Wen Jiao felt that Shen was a bit pitiful.

Sighing in my heart, I said with a smile: "It's not good for your embroidery skills. I'm tired of doing this every day. Bai Lu, take out my pair of sapphire earrings and give them to Mrs. Shen."

After ordering Bai Lu, Wen Jiao said to Shen Shi again: "It's getting late, I have a lot to do, so I won't keep you. I'll talk to you another day."

Seeing that she had given away the things and Bai Lu came back with the reward, she really didn't know what to say, so she politely bowed and left.

Seeing that Mrs. Shen left, Bai Shuang asked what to do with this scripture.Wen Jiao said: "Fold it carefully and put it in a box." Bai Shuang went as she said.

Bai Lu served Wen Jiao into the inner room and sat down, served tea for Wen Jiao again, and said, "This Aunt Shen looks much better than Aunt Cao."

Wen Jiao shook his head and said, "It's too soft."

Bai Shuang also put away her burden and came back, and heard this strange saying: "Couldn't it be better to be softer?"

Wen Jiao took a sip of tea and said: "Submissiveness is submissiveness, but it may not be law-abiding." He stopped talking about this matter, and picked up the old rules of the account book and gift list to look at it.Bailu Baishuang was thoughtful after hearing this.

The time of studying hard is always fast, and it will be October 27 in a blink of an eye.

Because Madam said that there was going to be a banquet, the Lin family was busy for a few days.It just happened to be a small banquet, suitable for beginners to learn initially. Wen Jiao took Daiyu to learn the process and precautions of holding a banquet together.

This is also another job of the wife of the wife, raising children.

Wen Jiao was the happiest when she was doing this, because Daiyu was really talented, she knew everything, and she could occasionally offer some suggestions.

Wen Jiao happily accepted the good proposal, and praised Daiyu again; if it was not available, Wen Jiao would explain why it was not possible.So Daiyu also learned very happily.

When the seasons changed, Daiyu still had a slight cough, but when winter came, everything recovered.

Moreover, Daiyu is now walking in the garden every day, exercising, plus herbal diet and golden fingers for recuperation, now Daiyu has twice the amount of food in each meal than when Wen Jiaogang met Daiyu, and she can finish a whole meal. Small bowl of rice.

If you eat too much, it will naturally be reflected in your complexion first.

Now Daiyu's little face is really white and red, and the pink and tender look is very cute.

Although the person is still thin, it no longer makes people feel deficient when they see it.

Moreover, Daiyu can walk in the garden for [-] quarters of an hour without resting every day, and Wen Jiao also has a great sense of accomplishment.

On October 27, Wen Jiao got up early to change and wash.Usually Lin Hai got up first, but today Wen Jiao was earlier than Lin Hai.

One month after the wedding, it is no longer necessary to wear bright red every day, but today, as the host, you can't be too plain, you have to show the pomp of a second-rank wife, but you can't look domineering, so you have to dress up for half a day.

Lin Hai got up and finished tidying up. Seeing that Wen Jiao was still struggling with which pair of earrings to wear, he leaned over to have a look, and said with a smile, "The ones wearing this pair of pearls are round and gentle, and they match Madam."

Wen Jiao glanced at him with a smile, and put it on sweetly.
