Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

Mrs. Jia is used to the eldest daughter-in-law's fuss from time to time.

"It is said that this time it is not for the concubine or auntie, it seems to be for... money." Hearing the reason, Xigui felt a little unbelievable.

Mrs. Jia was really surprised and smiled:

"That's really strange."

The eldest daughter-in-law was born in a great family and is the eldest daughter of Wei Yihou in Hunan, but she was not born to the current wife.

Raised by her stepmother, it is completely different from her biological mother. Mrs. Wei Yihou is a face-saving person. She already gave birth to two sons and a daughter, so she is naturally happy to pretend to be generous, even very nice, to the daughter left by the previous wife. Cultivate her to be naive, romantic and ignorant of things, only know the way of poetry, wind, flowers, snow and moon, but this girl has an advantage, that is, she looks very good.When Mrs. Jia proposed marriage to her, she was not very surprised. They are all wives, and everyone knows the unspoken rules inside.

And Nian Xiyao was weak since he was a child, and he couldn't eat hard to learn martial arts and literature. Madam Jia personally taught him poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting. On the contrary, he has some preferences in this aspect, and people also like to be arty.

When he grew up, he determined to marry a stunning woman, even the girls and concubines around him were all good-looking. Mrs. Jia naturally fulfilled his wish and married him to this Hu family with his own consent.

The couple had been affectionate for a while when they first got married, but Nian Xiyao was more likely to empathize, and within a year they got tired of it, and the two began to quarrel frequently.

Mrs. Jia never cared about the affairs in the yard of her sons since they got married, as long as they didn't make trouble in front of her, she always pretended that she didn't know about it.

When Mrs. Hu came to greet Mrs. Jia in the afternoon, her expression was a little unnatural.

After talking a few words with Fucha and Mrs. Jia, he couldn't help but speak:

"Er Niang, you see that the population in this yard has also increased, and the expenses have also risen accordingly. Every time I go out, it costs more than a few dozen taels. The uncle is also used to being extravagant, and 50 taels a month is not enough. You see Can it be increased?"

After speaking, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look Fu Cha and Mrs. Jia in the eyes.It is because she has always been aloof and looked down on these women who are full of nonsense. She did not expect that she has become such a woman now, and Hu feels self-pity.

Fucha was very surprised, is this really her sister-in-law?

The Hu family who entered the door two years behind her, but when we met, he was like a fairy who didn't understand the fireworks in the world, as if he could live by eating wind and drinking dew?

It is really embarrassing that the word "yinzi" can be heard in the mouth of poetry and poetry.

It seems that this "marriage" is really a big killer, which can make fairies go down to earth.

Mrs. Jia didn't sarcasm or accuse her, but explained in a good-tempered way:

"This month's money is just for your pocket money, how can you really count on it to live. Besides, the house has all the food and supplies. If it is not enough, you can only find a way to manage it yourself, and the family does not want your private income. , so is your second brother."

"That's right, Er Niang, although I'm a bit stupid, the income from the dowry and what the second master brings back are enough to live on." Fu Cha said with a smile.

Mrs. Hu obviously didn't believe it. How could the stepmother be good? She said the same thing. In private, she often subsidized the second, third and fifth younger brothers. Otherwise, how could they be so rich, and only their own family was in a hurry?

Why treat several sons the same, a bowl of water is flat, no matter how nice it is usually said, it's because they are unwilling to make up for it, even if their father is not their own, it can't be like this.

She has a shallow mind, and what she thinks is shown on her face. It doesn't take much effort for Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Fucha to understand it, which makes them very speechless.

"Who doesn't have enough money? Did Jin'er write a letter?" The young man's voice came before he came in.

The two daughters-in-law hurriedly got up and bowed their heads to say hello.

Mrs. Jia personally took the tea from the girl and handed it to him:

"Why did you come back so early today?"

"It's no big deal. Who said just now that the monthly money is not enough? Didn't the monthly money get paid?" Seeing the two daughters-in-law present, Nian Xia Ling restrained the smile on his face and asked.

"Where was the monthly money not paid? It was the eldest daughter-in-law who said that the monthly money was not enough and asked if it could be increased."

Hu's face was so embarrassing that the heat couldn't go away. At this moment, hearing her mother-in-law say, she wished she could burrow into the ground.

Nian Yaling frowned:

"Aren't they all the same? Why are you guys not enough? Why didn't the second child say anything?"

Mrs. Hu looked at the in-laws of the seat above, and said in a low voice:

"Second brother naturally has my mother to help, we..."

Nian Yaling stared:

"Speak seriously, what does it look like to mutter?"

"Okay, master calm down too. It's not like you don't know the temper of the eldest daughter-in-law, so why bother to be angry with yourself! Eldest daughter-in-law, you think I'm helping the second family in private, and you're right."

As soon as these words came out, Hu's eyes widened, obviously he did not expect Madam Jia to recognize her in front of her father-in-law.

Mrs. Jia smiled lightly:

"I did give my second son a few shops, but they were not from the public, they were my dowry. After you got married, my master and I felt that you were all grown-ups. Although the family was not separated, each of you had to pay your own bills. Apart from the usual None of them come from the public house.

Of course, it's impossible to let you figure out a way for nothing. If you don't hand over Xiyao's mother's dowry to him, the proceeds will be enough for you and the young couple to live on. Why, didn't he tell you? "

Hu was dumbfounded. She obviously didn't expect such a situation. When she went back that day, she asked Nian Xiyao why she didn't take the money from home, and whether she was using it outside. so late.

Nian Xialing is not satisfied with these two daughters-in-law. He is a man of this era, so he naturally thinks the same way. The two daughters-in-law have been in the house for six or seven years, but he has not given birth to a grandson, which makes him unwilling to look at them. .

But for his wife, Jia Wei, she is satisfied with 1 and [-]. Even in middle age, she is still so eye-catching. The most important thing is that she has a good heart. All of them made him proud, the husband and wife have hardly blushed for many years.

This is not without others, Nian Xia Ling began to care about his children who are far away in the capital.

"Jin'er likes to be lively, and Gengyao also has to go up and down from time to time. The consumption in Beijing is high, so don't bring enough bank notes. You can send more money when you send letters. Don't wrong them. They are not with them in the first place. It's enough to make them suffer."

"Okay, listen to the master, Jin'er is also thinking about you. I sent back a lot of things from the capital with the letter. I saw that they are better than those sold here, especially the big cloak I bought for you. It is very grand!"

Nian Yaling stroked his beard and smiled:

"Jin'er has always been filial, and it happens that we will be able to wear it on the way back to Beijing after the new year. The result of returning to Beijing this time is hard to say, Madam should put away the important things in advance, in case you stay in Beijing in the future, you can save it It's a pity."

"Okay, listen to the master!"

When it comes to returning to Beijing to report on his duties, Nian Xialing feels heavy in his heart. People like him who have been stationed abroad for many years are naturally unwilling to return to Beijing to be ruled by others. However, all this depends on how the emperor treats it and whether the holy favor is still there.

Thinking of the content of Nian Gengyao's letter, Nian Xialing began to step up his deployment.

But it was said that Jinyao and the girls were playing in Tanchun's yard, and it was cold, so everyone would sit around the fire to chat or play games.

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Tanchun pulled Jinyao aside to talk.

"Cousin, don't be as knowledgeable as Xiangyun, so as not to be angry with yourself. She doesn't know how to grow up. She likes to listen to what she likes to hear, say what she likes to say, and doesn't care about other people's feelings. This is not once or twice. gone."

Jin Yao nodded:

"It's the first time I've seen something like this. I don't think I've offended her before. How come I see such hostility."

Tanchun is somewhat unnatural:

"I think the ancestors liked her, and she had a good time with Baoyu. Hearing some true and false news about her cousin, she must have a heart to compare."

"She shouldn't be the only girl in the historian, right?" Jin Yao suddenly changed the topic, and Tan Chun couldn't keep up.

"More than that, her two uncles also have three prostitutes."

Jin Yao nodded:

"Then why is the old lady only proud of her, not the other girls?"

Even if you want to marry your natal niece and grandniece to Baoyu, you have to choose two daughters with noble nephews. Why choose Shi Xiangyun, who is like an orphan.

"..." Tanchun laughed, she couldn't answer this question.

"What are you doing, come here and guess the dice and the poem together."

"Here we come!" The two of Jinyao joined everyone's team.

When I went back in the afternoon, the sky became overcast, and before I got into the carriage, snowflakes began to flutter.

"Snowing!"

"Sister, get in the car quickly, this cough is just better, and I won't catch a cold anymore!" Mother Sun was frightened and hurriedly helped her get into the car.

"Yes, girl, let's go quickly. If we want to enjoy the snow, let's go home and enjoy it slowly. It must be more beautiful and clean than here. I don't want to stay here for a second." Feiling supported Jinyao angrily. .

Jinyao ignored their kindness and obediently got into the car.

"You guys are so angry, it shouldn't be like this."

Entering the carriage, even though there was a brazier, there was still a sense of coolness, Jinling and Feiling sandwiched Jinyao from left to right to keep her warm from the wind.

"Is this a small thing? They are too much. They are just an ignorant and inexperienced slut who dares to grab a girl. What a shame!"

Jinyao smiled and watched the girls get angry.

"Actually, this is really nothing to see. It's not the first time to spread rumors, or they only know this method."

"Bah! But playing a game of cards and making some double-flying tricks, that little girl just opened her mouth and came here. If no one is taught in advance, I don't believe that she can read a line of poetry!"

Yinling was also very angry, and talking about her own girl with Baoyu from that girl's pile was a blasphemy to the girl.

"Isn't that good? It's not that I can't guess the purpose of inviting me. Now that this incident happened today, I have an excuse to get away, and I don't have to come here in a short time. How wonderful!" Jin Yao still smiled , not very angry, just find it ridiculous.

Is it possible that their family only has precious jade worth a piece of money that can be used and traded?Inexplicably, I feel a little sympathetic to Jia Baoyu.

The weather was cold and the road was slippery, and the car wasn't driving fast, but something happened just like that. Jinyao and the others felt the car wobble for a while when they drove to Chang'an Street, and suddenly wanted to go sideways.

Fortunately, Jinling and the others did a good job, they immediately supported the carriage to stabilize their body, and protected Jinyao from hitting the wall of the carriage. The attendants outside also calmed the horses and straightened the carriage from the outside. .

"What's going on?" Nanny Sun opened the car door and went out, bringing in a gust of cold wind.
