The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Chen looked at Aunt Lan with disgust.It is said that a loving mother loves her daughter dearly. Aunt Lan knew that she loved her daughter, but she was able to instigate two lowly maidservants to embarrass her daughter.It can be seen that reading too much is not necessarily a good thing, and I don't even understand the most basic principle of "don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself".

However, Mrs. Chen hated Aunt Lan, but she didn't want to argue with a five-year-old child, so she waved her hand lazily, and said: "Forget it, on a happy day, I don't like you crying so much, you don't have to make trouble. Today This matter is fine. But the upbringing of a girl's family is very important, and Aunt Lan should also pay more attention. In order not to make people laugh at our You family's daughter for not being well-bred when the girls go out to socialize in the future—even though she is an aunt I was raised by my side, but I still have to call me Dimu. Our Chen family can't afford to lose this person."

Aunt Lan's face was flushed when she said a word, but she had to be grateful to Mrs. Chen in her mouth.He pressed the fourth girl to kowtow to Mrs. Chen to make amends.The fourth girl still had a look of indignation on her face, she was about to say something, but Aunt Lan held her back tightly, that's all.

While talking, the tea that the fourth girl had splashed on Chen's body had already wetted her little clothes and knee pants. The pomegranate red silk was the most unstained, not to mention that the clothes all over her body were sticking to her body, which made her feel uncomfortable.Mrs. Chen sighed dispiritedly, and only said that she wanted to go back to her room and change her clothes.Seeing this, everyone had to get up and see them off.You Lao'an still took Chen's hand and praised with a smile: "Sure enough, my wife is a good-natured person. I have no worries about entrusting this family to you."

He also ordered You Ziyu to accompany Mrs. Chen back to her room to change clothes.As for what kind of affection the husband and wife shared in the room, outsiders naturally don't know.

Now let's say that Aunt Lan returned to her bedroom with a full stomach full of grievances. She was born in a family of officials and was spoiled since she was a child. Later, when her father was dismissed from office for corruption and ransacked the house, when she was in a desperate situation, she met You Ziyu and accepted her as a concubine.Later, in You's inner house, he read poetry and books for several years because of his good looks, and he was favored.The leading wife at the head is also soft-spoken, and only knows how to avoid and retreat when things happen.Although she is the wife of the main house, she is not as beautiful as her aunt at home.Later, Aunt Lan gave birth to the fourth daughter, but the wife became ill and left.You Ziyu didn't have the heart to continue, and the old lady was getting older and exhausted, so she gradually handed over the housekeeper's affairs to her.

As the saying goes, the power in your hands is the guts of a person, not to mention that Aunt Lan was not a law-abiding person in the first place, even if she was stable in the past, she has held power for so many years, and she has been pampered, she has long forgotten her duty as a concubine.That's why after You Ziyu married the Chen family, she had a delusion that she would have a relationship with the Chen family, and only hoped that the Chen family would be as good-natured as the first wife, and could be manipulated by her.

It's just that Aunt Lan didn't expect that Mrs. Chen is such a powerful and unreasonable person.As soon as she entered You's house, she dared to take advantage of her natal family's snobbery to embarrass her mother-in-law and husband-in-law.I only hate that the old lady and the master are also spineless, so they were pinched three or two times——

"It's just a widow who has no sense of shame or chastity!" Aunt Lan thought fiercely, "Now let me make you proud for a while. After today, I will let you know how powerful I am!"

It's just that Aunt Lan couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of Chen's red makeup when she entered the door, and the toughness and toughness in the face of You Lao'an and You Ziyu.She only complained about her bad fate. If her father hadn't been dismissed from office and ransacked her home back then, she would still be a favored lady from the official family now, so why would she be reduced to the unbearable situation of being someone's aunt.

Aunt Lan sat on the couch sullenly, and couldn't help crying while hugging the fourth girl.

The fourth girl is five years old this year, but she already knows that she loves her mother, but she is still young, and she is not as good as the third sister. I cried out in fright.

Seeing this, Aunt Lan felt distressed, and coaxed her daughter patiently for a while, and then the daughters-in-law who were in charge of the family came back to talk.When Aunt Lan heard this, she only told everyone to wait outside, while she ordered clear water to wash her face and apply it.Then he sent the eldest girl to take the fourth girl out to play.

The daughters-in-law who were in charge came in to listen and drink. Aunt Lan took a cup of tea and sipped it lightly. After pondering for a long time, she said: "I think you have all heard about it. The new wife is a powerful person. We met on the first day today. Just relying on being the mistress of the house, I have given me a lot of shame. I know that you housekeepers and daughters-in-law know how to flatter the high and step down, and follow the red and the white. I must be thinking about how to do it right now. My wife is trying to please my ex-boyfriend, and I get some benefits—"

Before the sentence was finished, several housekeepers and daughters-in-law hurriedly opened their mouths to confess themselves, because they said again: "What did my aunt say? We all know the benefits of my aunt's treatment of us. No matter how her new wife Terrible, every family has its own rules, how can we mess up our family's rules because of one person. Don't say we can't see it, even old ladies and masters can't let it go. "

When Aunt Lan heard this, she sneered again, because she said: "You talk nicely in front of me. When you are in front of my wife, you may not know how to arrange me. But I also said ugly words first, you want to please and behave, I No matter. Just don’t forget to hide your tail. I’ve been in charge of the family’s affairs these years. I’m too lazy to argue with you about how many tricks you have used on your books. It’s unlikely that the new wife will do the same. Now The new wife wants to check the accounts and inventory, you should all stay alert and deal with it carefully. If something goes wrong, let alone me, even the old lady will not be able to keep you."

After hearing this, the housekeepers and daughters-in-law changed their expressions slightly.Some people are secretly worried, while others don't take it seriously.

Aunt Lan had already beaten everything that was supposed to be beaten, and seeing that it was getting late, she said to everyone: "Okay, it's getting late now, let's go there. If it's later, I'm afraid people will still think I have a heart It's like playing tricks."

After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand, got up and brought a group of housekeepers and daughters-in-law to the main room to greet Mrs. Chen.

At that time, Mrs. Chen had changed her clothes long ago, and heard the little girl tell me that Aunt Lan brought the nuns in charge to hand over the account book and keys to the warehouse.You Ziyu was drinking tea at the side. Hearing this, she squinted at Mrs. Chen, and said with a smile: "She is diligent. It can be seen that she really respects your wife. Otherwise, just find an excuse to procrastinate for a few days. It's not easy to rush."

"Who is she, who is she?" Chen sneered, and said to You Ziyu with her arms folded, "You don't need to pretend to be pitiful for her. Before I entered the door, I knew that you had beautiful concubines and maids, and I also expected you The aunt at home is hard to deal with. You'd better not talk too much about the matter between us. I've seen you guys a lot, and when I see a woman, you don't think about things with your head. If she is really hardworking, she can't be taught. Such a frivolous girl and daughter."

You Ziyu just said a word, and Mrs. Chen replied with a load of words.Seeing the new daughter-in-law standing on the ground pretty, bright and charming, with sarcastic words, You Ziyu's heart felt hot.He hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, begging for mercy pretending to have a headache: "Forget it, I just said something casually, why should you get angry seriously. You are right, I am too lazy to meddle in your women's affairs. I won't say it, I won't explain."

After a pause, she couldn't help defending her daughter again: "The fourth sister is only five years old this year. There is a child's temperament, and there is some sense of indecision. You are a aunt, don't bother with her."

"Your loving father loves your daughter dearly, and I am that vicious stepmother. Don't worry, I won't argue with her. Anyway, someone will argue with her in the future." Chen said with a sneer: "At such a young age , is still a girl from a concubine. She was raised by her aunt and concubine since she was a child. It's abominable that you can't see a good person. She is naturally happy to raise her. She doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. It's better to let her offend people outside and be laughed at. Even if she can't marry a good person, she can marry as she likes. Anyway, it's just a waste of dowry—— Your father-in-law You gave out money. It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, the eldest girl, the second sister and the third sister will all get married by then!"

When You Ziyu heard it, he was stunned.After pondering for a long while, he couldn't help agreeing with Chen's words.He hurriedly walked to the front, pulled Chen's sleeves and said with a smile: "You are very right, but I was mistaken. Since this is the case, I have to ask you to work hard to teach me. All the daughters of your Chen family are very good. Yes, I trust you."

Chen knew that You Ziyu was a person with a long history and soft ears, if he couldn't handle him when he was fresh and short of breath, he might be Zhao Chen again in the future.Hearing this, he snorted, leaned on the door with his arms folded, and said with a half-smile: "Why do I bother? I don't want to do that. In case people don't appreciate it, just say that I deliberately tormented their wives Two, drop a few drops of golden beans in front of you, and even you will misunderstand me for evil."

You Ziyu was blocked by Chen's three or two words, so he could only smile and said: "That's all, I can't tell you. It's up to you."

The conversation between You Ziyu and Mrs. Chen was clearly heard by Aunt Lan who stayed outside and all the nuns and maidservants.For a while, it was inevitable that someone would secretly look at Aunt Lan.Aunt Lan's face was flushed, she didn't know whether she was ashamed or angry.

When Chunlan Qiuju and the servant girls saw her, they felt even more relieved.After letting everyone hang out for a while, they lifted the curtain and went in to communicate.Chen took You Ziyu out to the outer hall.Aunt Lan hurriedly ordered all the nuns to hand over the account book and the keys to the warehouse.

In front of You Ziyu, Mrs. Chen didn't say much, but only ordered everyone to hand over the account book for the time being, and the rest will be done after she returns home three times.Yin said again: "Although I am not young, I am also a newcomer. I don't understand the rules of the house. These things are not urgent for the time being. Let me take a look at the account book. You guys should take care of the things in the warehouse. Wait In a few days, I personally took people to the warehouse to hand over. Let’s figure this out first, so as not to be confused about what it means to fight famine in the future.”

Those nuns in charge have already realized the power of the Chen family, and upon hearing this, they had no choice but to agree.
