Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 421, Backbone
In terms of the specific size of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, when all the land is open, it is enough to open a market. It is not medium, but it is not the smallest one either.

The smallest market in the country, standing at the market entrance to see the end of the market.Definitely bigger than this.

The main hall, the main room, the pavilions, the pavilions, the gardens and gardens are twists and turns. Feng, who lives in the courtyard of the West Garden, does not know that Yanyan is here.

In November, all those who have farms and shops in other provinces start to take stock of their annual income. Feng still has his son Guisheng in his heart, and he can't spare a lot of energy to think of Yanyan.Early in the morning, when the dowry came to pay their respects, Feng Shi just said lightly: "Should Qi Shi come back? In the past two years, I don't think she is a foolish person, and she is very calculating when she leaves home. If a child is born outside, who is the witness? If you want to divide things, it is clear that it is not right."

After finishing speaking, she asked the nanny to carry Guisheng and went to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Feng is worried about giving her son to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law is not enthusiastic to take care of the child for her. Mrs. Feng has new dissatisfaction, but she does not allow Guisheng to get close to her grandmother, and she is afraid that Guisheng will not give him what he should have.

Feng's stuck in Guisheng's hat every year, it's not good to wear jade, Guisheng's gold lock has no jewelry, Guisheng's gold lock should be sent to clean and fresh and beautiful after wearing it for a year, but it was not cleaned in time, to put it bluntly She doesn't like the new furs of her in-laws every year, but she has to make false claims with her mother-in-law.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met, Feng asked Guisheng to call grandma with a smile, and Guisheng called, Mrs. Nanyang Hou agreed lukewarmly.She has no opinion of her grandson, but the grandson's mother is annoying.No matter how much I think about my grandson now, I'm afraid I won't be close when I grow up.

Who doesn't have their own little abacus?

Feng asked the nanny to hold Guisheng, and she "helped" her mother-in-law with the housework. After a glance at the account book, Feng felt relieved, there was nothing missing in the account, Feng was a little happy, and said calmly: "Mother, counting the days, Qi should Give birth, this child belongs to the son of the world, he can't be born outside, and let others see it as a joke."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou was annoyed when she heard her talking, thinking, without your endless bad moves, how could you make others laugh?
She closed her eyes and replied: "Oh, who knows. You are right. I will send someone to ask tomorrow to see if she will come back."

Feng Shi is more and more at ease, but I reminded you, "Grandma" is your mother-in-law who said it. Later, when relatives ask Qi Shi if he is ignorant to have a baby outside, is it also ignorant at home to not pick her up? , but there are elders, I just reminded them.

Feng Shi became courteous: "Qi Shi is a stubborn person, if she says she can't stay at home, she can't stay at home, maybe she won't come back to give birth, mother, how about sending over what she should have?"

Mrs. Nanyang Hou got angry and cursed this poisonous woman secretly. You are the one who came first. You are the elder in the eyes of outsiders, and you are the respected in the family with strict rules. If the Qi family calls you affectionately, it is "sister", shouldn't you Get in the car, bring the hospitality on your face at this moment, and bring Qi Shi back.Even if Mrs. Qi still annoys you and doesn't come home, you should persuade her well, even coaxing or even tricking her into coming home to have a baby.

Your husband's other wife's decent childbirth is also your grandmother's responsibility, isn't it?

Since marrying into the Nanyang Hou's mansion, Mrs. Nanyang Hou has never understood like this today, and she is very clear about the seniority and inferiority.

She didn't even want to pay attention to Feng Shi, her complexion sank suddenly, and she directly showed Feng Shi: "Do you want her to come back to give birth, or do you not want her to come back to give birth? Send something to Qi Shi, but Qi Shi just doesn't say anything." What, when the Madam Protector saw it, she thought our family didn't want her to come back to give birth."

That's what Feng really meant. When the things were delivered to Yanyan, no matter how careless people were, they would think that her husband's family didn't want her to go home to give birth.

Seeing that her mother-in-law said it, Feng didn't have too much embarrassment. Her mother-in-law just said "Hurry up tomorrow", you are not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry because I am a junior.

Huan Guogong Shizi's wife also took it out and said, Guang'er of the Huguogong's mansion, have you become involved?

Anyway, Mrs. Feng thinks that the family is not getting better every year, and it doesn't look like there is a nobleman protecting her.

Feng Shi accompanied her with a smiling face, anyway, a smiling face is worthless: "What mother said is true. In fact, when I said to send things over, I also meant to remind Qi Shi to come home."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou said indifferently: "Oh, what did you say to give?"

Mrs. Feng said it, and Mrs. Nanyang Hou sneered and asked Feng's face: "You only give this! It's a thousand miles away from when you gave birth! When you look at this family, you are the master, or your housekeeper." Are you in charge?"

Feng's face lost all of a sudden, he froze on the spot, blushing and said: "What mother said, how can I reply."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou sneered and said: "Your red wedding dress carried eight palanquins, is Qi's worse than you? It's worse, and it's also worse than a few pieces of family jewelry. As for me, I wanted to make it up for her in private. But again I thought, this is still unfair. Some of the jewelry in the old lady’s hand was given to you a long time ago. Take it out when you have time, and I will help you share it. But what you said just now, I’m afraid others will laugh at you, right? I'll help you share it evenly." Feng's chest was filled with anger immediately, she didn't know that Mrs. Nanyang Hou had already supplied Yanyan, and at this moment she was trying to make things difficult for her, so let's say that Feng's got the things that she got when she was not married. Mrs. Hou's preference for her.

Feng Shi also became indifferent: "Mother, it's my grandmother who asked me to take care of your daughter-in-law, and it's not mine. How can I get it out?"

What Mrs. Nanyang Hou wanted was her words, and said in a loud voice: "Then you keep it, the jewelry in my hand is for Qi Shi, so don't think about it."

The Feng family is angry, and the unmarried granddaughter-in-law will definitely not be able to compare with the daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family.What happened to the mother-in-law today, Qi Shi is pregnant with the fairy Jade Rakshasa?
Mrs. Feng was thinking about how to return, and Mrs. Nanyanghou said again: "Even the things in your room are half of you, and half of Qi's. You should never be alone again. Tsk tsk, look at what you gave her. These things, you want to treat her as a concubine, but you forget that she has never thought about competing with you for a husband, so you don't need to look at her face. Think about it yourself?"

This is on the key point.

There are two wives in one house, Feng's family background is good, Yanyan's family background is low, if Yanyan wants to gain a foothold in the house, she must get along with Feng's family or be favored by Luan Jing.

Feng's and Luan Jing's childhood sweethearts, if Yanyan wholeheartedly competes in this room, she will fight with Feng's husband, if she can't win, she can only look at Feng's eyebrows, at this time the situation may be "like a concubine".

When Yanyan was not married, she didn't plan to live in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion for a long time, and the Feng family didn't care about the kitchen, let alone look at Feng's face.Before Yanyan got married, the position behind has been clearly shown. The words "ruo concubine" shouldn't have come out, and there is no need to stick to the truth without looking at the facts.

Judge based on facts.

Yanyan has her own backbone, and Yuanxiu and Luzhu are also her backbone. She does not take her husband or in-laws as her backbone, and she will never be a "concubine" in this life.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou's words are not pleasant, but they are on the key point.

That's what Feng's plan was at the beginning, she was the one who went first, and the housekeeper also took the lead, she could cut off Yanyan's use, and she could dominate Luan Jing, Yanyan had to bow her head for food, clothing and survival.

As a result, Yanyan spent a lot of money in exchange for food and clothing a few months before she got married, and after a few months, she simply lived on her own.Feng's calculations were in vain, and now he could only show off his prestige through childbirth, but was seen through by her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law seized the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Feng Shi was full of contention, choked on her mother-in-law's words, "Qi Shi never thought about competing with you for a husband", so he could only swallow what he wanted to say.

When he swallowed it back, his stomach was full of resentment.

Qi Shi is now someone Feng Shi can easily think about. Feng's bridal chamber cutting off the Husband is tantamount to declaring that her husband is hers. She doesn't want to give it to Yanyan. Yanyan, like all other concubines, can't get it.As a result, Qi Shi left home and lived away, leaving Feng Shi a big void.What kind of husband, you can keep it for yourself, it's not rare.This is Yanyan's return.

Feng was looking forward to a child, and separated from Luan Jing and his wife, and spent a lot of energy on going to bed for the last time. Yanyan, beckoning, Luan Jing went, conceived in one go, Yanyan still didn't ask for help.

You hold the soil as a treasure, and others sneer: "That's it?" Turn your head and walk away, leaving your back.

One day, she turned around and pulled it out of the soil, hey, this thing is okay, I will take it away.

The Feng family has a relationship with the Qi family, and that's how it feels now.

As her mother-in-law said, you have half of the affairs in your room, and Qi Shi has half. Qi Shi can come back and take it away whenever she likes. .

For the next half a day, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and housekeeper seemed to be in peace, but in fact, Feng's tears flowed down her stomach silently. This family was her world, and she could only be trapped in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, husband and wife.

Full of thoughts about housekeeping, Mrs. Feng has to go back to her room for the rest of the day. Her son, Guisheng, is her entire future. It is cold, and it will be even colder in the second half of the day. In her mother-in-law's room, Guisheng can't be left alone. Feng takes her son with her. back to the room.

Concubines and maids greeted her, Feng Shi saw Chunhong hesitated to speak at a glance, and gave her a hard look, although she was only half of the house, but Chunhong looked up to her, Feng Shi could handle her.

Chunhong was hesitant to say or not to say it, and she still didn't want to see Feng Shi, so Chunhong naturally didn't say anything.

But let's not talk about it, Chunhong is in Feng's room, and she is worried that Feng's will suffer a lot, and she will suffer along with her.In addition, it was Chunhong's original idea that the second grandmother finally returned home, she and the eldest grandmother were not good, and Chunhong wanted to profit from it.

After finding Feng's dowry, Chunhong said: "The eldest grandma asked the second grandma if she came home early in the morning. I went to have a look. The largest courtyard in the east garden did not allow anyone to approach, but Chai Zhi went in and out several times. The second grandma must have come home. Does the eldest grandma know?"

The dowry put on a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, the second grandma came home, wouldn't Mrs. Hou send someone to tell? If Mrs. Hou knew that you were talking nonsense at home, she would definitely kick you out of the house."

The frightened Chunhong was not convinced in her heart, but she didn't even dare to say it on the surface.

The two separated, and the dowry went to find another dowry: "Chunhong is a murderer, just be on guard against her. Mrs. Hou doesn't talk about the second grandma's return home, so don't tell me."

The other dowry said: "Of course. Grandma's first two dowry, Yuye and Qinmiao, didn't see how vicious they were when they were in Qinghehou's house. Grandma didn't say anything, how dare Yuye Qinmiao trample on second grandma?" ?”

Yuye Qinmiao was sold to the brothel, Feng's girl and the dowry who came later were like mirrors, the grandma was looking for a job, so she went alone, it was better for everyone not to follow.

The matter of Yanyan's return was kept a secret from Feng Shi again.

After dinner, Mrs. Nanyang Hou came to see Yanyan. Luan Jing came back early this morning. When Mrs. Nanyang Hou saw him, she told him not to move around these days, and to go home and watch Qi's delivery if nothing happened. Luan Jing agreed.

Madam Hou sat with Yanyan for a while, then went to talk to her aunt.

After hearing this, Luan Jing's aunt's face darkened: "It's unreasonable, it's a matter of opinion. When your family was prosperous, the concubine's room produced more things than what Feng said today. It's not me who provoked you. Fortunately, you have two A daughter-in-law, otherwise you can rely on Feng when you are old? You were so domineering when you were young, so you can't count on it in the future."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou thought deeply: "Yes, the Qi family is now the backbone of the family. This child is sensible, and he will give me [-] silver when he goes home to give birth. I said no, my grandson is a grandmother. The only thing I want is to sell my flesh and blood to ensure that he is born decently. Besides, this year has slowed down, the summer harvest is not yet rich, and the farms in other provinces don’t need to pay any more, and the autumn harvest is not much, but I will be tight during the Chinese New Year. One hundred taels."

The aunt nodded: "It's not difficult to borrow and repay. After all, this family will belong to the son and grandson in the future, so there is no need to take too much of Qi's. Let me put something here first, Feng's appearance can't teach Good grandson. As long as the Qi family is under the protection of the Duke of the Protectorate, her children will have a good future in the future. You still have to rely on the Qi family to support your grandparents."

Mrs. Nanyang Hou listened, her housekeeper this year did not have the troubles of the previous two years, and it has nothing to do with the harvest. She knows that Qi will help when she encounters difficulties.

She pondered: "What my aunt said is true."

At this time, Luan Jing was drinking tea with He Ning. Ever since the Qi family came into being, Luan Jing unexpectedly had more backbones. Going to the Yamen was no longer as painful as being tortured. His colleagues laughed at him, but Luan Jing secretly laughed back. Is my uncle the tallest?
Officials in the Yamen of Yuanma Temple, without No. 1, No. [-], and No. [-], are all under No. [-] in the second class.

He came home, and he was willing to come to Qi's yard. If He Ning was not there, it would be embarrassing. Green Bamboo didn't like him covering the whole yard. If He Ning was there, it would be harmonious, and Brother Ning was willing to talk to him.

The young man in the middle of the day answered, and Wu Tianxiong looked for him.Luan Jing came out and said that Qi's family was going to give birth, and he didn't go out recently, and it was a happy event to have a baby. Wu Tianxiong was envious, and went to drink to relieve his boredom.

Luan Jing sent him away, came back at a trot, just wanted to continue talking to He Ning, when he saw his mother go back to the room, Lu Zhu was willing to come out to see him off, Luan Jing was flattered.

Luzhu supported Yanyan and gave Nanyang Marquis another [-] silver. They lived in and provided food and clothing by themselves, but Yanyan's children were valued by Yuanxiu and Luzhu, so every corner should be well prepared.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou confiscated it, and her preparations were quite thoughtful. My aunt and grandmother also came to stay with Yanyan. Lu Zhu reluctantly gave Mrs. Nanyang Hou a high look and was willing to socialize with her.

Lu Zhu spoke bluntly, and quickly shook her face. Mrs. Nanyang Hou was also a little afraid of her, smiled and said it was hard, and left to go back to the room.
