Inheritance policy

Chapter 15

Mrs. Tai caressed the smooth black lacquered nanmu table, which was a pattern of pomegranate clusters and a hundred sons playing babies. The He family has lasted for a hundred years, and now the children and grandchildren can't finish living in Jiujing Hutong, and they have to work hard every step of the way.

"Tell me first, what do you like about the Huang family? In my eyes, Mrs. Huang's eyelids are a bit shallow, and I don't like her girl's eyes. Mrs. Huang's family is a salt merchant in Yangzhou, and her background is too low. " Mrs. Tai spoke slowly, analyzing all the women of the Huang family, but never mentioning Huang Xiaolang and Master Huang.

The Second Madam felt a little disapproving, who could Madam Lin'an Marquis fall in love with?I'm afraid that all the queens and empresses in the palace will dislike her as a martial artist from the Fang family, and everyone is petty.But on the face, he could only smile and say: "It's strange, mother's eyes are really poisonous, Huang Sanniang was raised by Mrs. Huang, and she learned all kinds of bad habits. Yesterday, Xing Zhao and Xing Ming were very angry. "

Mrs. Tai squinted her eyes. About the dinner, Zhang's mother said everything about it in the carriage. Xing Ming provoked it first, and the second lady said it was all the faults of the Huang family's wife.The second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, was born in the Zhongshan Marquis's Mansion, and she came from a side branch, so her vision is inevitably thinner. She only knows that her daughter should be married at a low price, so that she can take advantage of her natal family's power and not be bullied.But they don't know that getting married is the best of the two surnames, and getting married is like having a thread to tie two strange families together.

"Since we've already made a knot, why are we still dragging each other together? Be careful not to make enemies if you get married." Mrs. Tai then said.

The second lady was at a loss for words for a while, and said falteringly: "Xingming married Huang Xiaolang, and the lady of the Huang family will get married in a few years. Huang Xiaolang is the eldest son of Huang's family. Xingming will be the clan wife as soon as he marries."

Married in the past, she was the clan's wife, presided over Zhongfu, and had the support of the He family. It's hard to think about living a bad life.The second lady only focuses on Xingming, and the only daughter's life is better than anything else.

Mrs. Tai didn't think so, she took off the sandalwood beads on her wrist with a smile, put them on the case with a "bang", and said, "Mrs. Huang looks like she is only in her early thirties. I am full of energy, I just had a dowry lawsuit with my natal family a few days ago, who in the Ding capital didn't know about it? Xingming endured and endured, and finally I was able to preside over Zhongfu to speak, and my old woman probably couldn't see it. "

"You must never say that! You are a person who wants to live a hundred years and be blessed!" The second lady hurriedly said angrily. Seeing that the old man even said such words, her heart was disheartened, and she guessed that the marriage of the Fang family would not be possible. .

With a worried face, he picked up the teacup and took two sips absent-mindedly. The lintel of the He family is high enough, and the Marquis of Lin'an is powerful enough, but their second wife can't even get close to each other. They have been obedient all these years, and there is another third bedroom who is so disobedient As a foil, the old lady is also happy to praise the second room.But Sanfang understands it now, and is willing to stay humble, so how can Erfang live?
Xingming is hard to marry, she knows it in her heart, good people look down on others, let alone marry home as a clan wife, almost bad people look down on herself, and the old lady can't pass that test.Isn't it just right for the Huang family to be like this, who doesn't have many difficult masters, it depends on how you live.

Seeing that the second lady had stopped talking, Mrs. Tai said: "A good wife and husband have less trouble. Mrs. Huang Tai is not a fuel-efficient lamp. There is nothing wrong with merchants. It's just that she is still arguing with her natal nephew and nephew at such an old age. This is a bit confusing." , the character of her parents can be seen from the lady of the Huang family. If Huang Xiaolang wasn't brought up by Mrs. Huang, it's okay to say, but I'm afraid he came down the same line."

The second lady heard that Mrs. Tai was showing signs of letting go, so she leaned forward involuntarily, and said repeatedly: "Huang Xiaolang was raised in front of Mr. Huang. Mrs. Huang was born in a famous family in Tai'an. Mr. Xiaolang is about to turn 13 years old, and he is already a housekeeper." After giving birth, he is studying in the Imperial College. Mr. Huang is an official at the fifth rank, whether it is Yinfeng, or he has to take the exam, the future is not worrying."

"Yinfeng? What kind of position can their family get? No one in the three generations of a scholar's family will hold a real position in the court, and the family will be considered to be in decline." Mrs. Tai sneered mercilessly, looking at something that rekindled hope. The second daughter-in-law said again, "Since you have decided to go to Dingguo Temple, go, it happens to be stuck, go and donate the sesame oil money for next year. When the time comes, ask Mr. Huang Xiaolang and Mrs. Huang to come and say hello to me. I will take care of you." have a look."

The second lady drooped a little when she heard the front, and she couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard what she said later, she quickly stood up and bowed to salute, Mrs. Tai went in person, this is to do Xingming's face.

"Just now I said that my daughter-in-law fell into the Fuwowo, and I was right!" The second lady rolled her eyes with a smile, and called out to Liu's mother outside the door, and said, "We must ask Xingming to come and kowtow to grandma! The empress has even spared Mrs. Tai's New Year greeting ceremony, and now she has to run around for Xingming."

Mrs. Tai looked a little funny.

The eldest daughter-in-law is dull and timid, but she is better than being honest and gentle.The second daughter-in-law is smart and smart, but her offspring are difficult, and she can't do well in front of her husband.On the whole, it seemed that only He Xian's daughter-in-law was caught in the front and back yards, and she was a virtuous and capable mistress. The old Hou Ye really took care of the third child.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai suppressed her smile slightly, pursed her lips, waved her hand to the second lady, and said, "If Mr. Huang Xiaolang is an idiot who cannot be supported, or Mrs. Huang is unreasonable, I will still not agree to this marriage. The He family doesn't have many heirs, there are only two prostitutes in total, they are very precious."

Mother Liu, who opened the door and came in, heard this and responded, then turned and walked out.I couldn't help but thump, the two prostitutes, Mrs. Tai didn't count the third wife into the He family.
The second wife is currently in a good mood, and with Mrs. He taking care of Xingming's marriage, she is not afraid that the marriage will not be good.It is the eyes of Mrs. Tai's palm, and the purpose of passing, even the dowry can be richer.

Mama Liu turned around the Chaoshou verandah, the green grass planted in the stone fence, under the influence of the heater, the fragrance of the grass mixed with the pine dew, refreshing.

Xingzhao in Nuange lowered his head, supporting the embroidery frame for needlework.

Xingming either picked up the teacup and put it down again, or leaned over to look at Xingzhao's needlework, or took a copy of "Zuoshi Chunqiu" to read, and when he looked up, it was Mama Liu, his eyes lit up, and he hurried off the kang Stepping up to the embroidered shoes, he asked repeatedly: "But grandma let us go there?"

As soon as Xing Zhao raised his head, he put the stretcher lightly in the embroidered cage. Seeing Liu's mother nodding with a smile, she hurriedly got off the kang, put on her shoes, and went to the main hall with Xing Ming.

As soon as I entered, I saw the second lady standing in front of Mrs. Tai, with a beaming face, Xingming secretly said that it was not good, and before I had time to think about it, I heard the second lady smile and say: "In a few days, all of us will go to Dingguo Temple." Pray for blessings. How about asking Xingming to wipe your forehead?"

Wiping the forehead is simple and can be done in two days, and it is worn outside so that others can see it at a glance.Whether the second lady is to show Xingming's craftsmanship, or to show that Mrs. Tai cares about Xingming, Mrs. Tai is willing to go with the flow.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tai said cheerfully: "Okay, make a pattern of rabbit fur and crane pattern. When you get old, you want to tie your hair tightly to look energetic."

The second lady laughed even more when she heard it. From Xing Zhao's angle, one could see Xing Ming with his head bowed and his hands tucked into his sleeves.Xing Zhao sighed in his heart, what's wrong with the Huang family?At least you can have a stable life, and the years are quiet.

The second wife saluted Xing Mingru in a polite manner, said goodbye, and went out happily, Xing Zhao went to see her off, and when she came back, she looked a little unhappy.

Mrs. Tai leaned on the Passiflora-patterned Eight Blessings cushion, looked at Xing Zhao's gloomy eyes, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Don't you want to go to Dingguo Temple?"

Xing Zhaochang let out a breath, and looked at Mrs. He who was sitting at the top, there were a few lines in the corners of her eyes when she smiled, that's all, let's deal with the previous matter first.

Unexpectedly, Xing Zhao knelt down on the felt blanket with a "plop".

"Miss Si, what are you doing! Be careful, your knee hurts!" Mother Zhang exclaimed, and hurried down to help, but was stopped by Mrs. Tai.

Only Mrs. Tai ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone go out. Linglong, you stay, and Lianyu stays."

Mrs. Tai is such a wise person, as soon as Xing Zhao knelt down, she knew that she was going to tell the truth about the church.

The carved gourd Wanfu nanmu door was "squeaked" shut, and for a while, only four people were left in the wing room, and the room was filled with silence.

Xing Zhao was the first to speak in the silence. The little lady's voice was still clear and soft, but she was still trying to be solemn and dignified: "At the hall meeting, Princess Yingyi left for nearly an hour."
