potluck?Meimei raised her head, a cold light flashed in her eyes, this old woman was putting on a show, and tried to stab someone from time to time, what kind of family is the Qin family now?Qin Boqing is the number one scholar in the new discipline. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has won three prizes. He is a good sign in the dynasty, and the emperor regards him as a treasure. What are you, an old lady in the Houfu?It's just a matter of resentment if you can't step on your granddaughter-in-law. Is it worthwhile to be so contemptuous of the people of the Qin family?People are sincere and do their best to bring expensive gifts to New Year's greetings, but you are good, let alone a banquet, just a light meal, what does it mean to be heard by a girl, a woman, and a room full of servants, and what is it for the Qin family to listen to it? taste?
Xu Junying held her hand tightly, and said softly above her head: "Be safe and don't make noise! ​​This is New Year's Eve, the whole family is here, and the mother-in-law is the most concerned about face, can't you embarrass the mother-in-law?"

Meimei raised her eyes and stared at him, Xu Junying continued: "Just treat it as your own grandmother. She is old and said something wrong. Think about it and forgive her, okay?"

Own grandma?Meimei searched in her mind for a thin figure, a kindly smiling face, with gray hair neatly pinned with hairpins, always clean and fresh, with rheumatism that made her legs and feet inconvenient and her wrists inflexible, but every time she As soon as I heard Meimei calling and saying she was going home, I immediately reported a long list of Meimei’s favorite dishes, saying that grandma will start preparing them now, your mother will help me, and you can eat them as soon as you come back tomorrow... Meimei's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head and sighed secretly:
Why are grandmothers all over the world different?Is it because I am not good, or is the Xu family's grandmother not good?
Fortunately, the New Year's banquet, which was regarded as a simple meal, was held according to the standards of the Xu family's New Year's Eve. Meimei first sent Cuixi to supervise and inspect, and then saw the dishes served like flowing water, and knew that the old lady did not cook. It's too extreme, so I can rest assured.Because it is the menu under Jinhuatang, the old lady has never let her interfere in Jinhuatang's food affairs since she had a bad relationship with her. This is the same as her, her Tsinghua Academy has also been very strict about food and drink. It got better after the division of Houfu, but the people in the kitchen had to do a thorough investigation, they knew the details before they could enter, and the people in charge of the kitchen had to use cronies. In the end, Mama Cai was pulled back by her and left behind in the kitchen of Xifu. There was nothing Bai Jingyu could do about the two apprentices who had already left the teacher. She was willing to give Mama Cai a lot of benefits and let her refuse to go back to the Hou Mansion, but Cai Mama just smiled and said nothing. She obviously wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion, so she had to let her do it After the kitchens of the two houses communicate with each other, what good recipes do they want to teach the apprentices.

After eating, they will drink tea and chat, the men will be in another room, and the female relatives will still be in the painting hall where the old lady used to sit, Mrs. Qin will sit and talk with the old lady and the second wife, while the girls and daughters-in-law will just tease The two lovely children of Yuxue in Qin's mansion were talking with the number one scholar, Feng Shi. The two children were very well-behaved. With Heng'er and the later children by their side, they felt relaxed and happy, and there was no discomfort in the strange environment. Follow the instructions of the adults carefully, laugh when you let them laugh, jump when you let them jump, and when babbling, say something that no one understands, which makes everyone laugh. The result of such excitement is not great. After a while, she became sleepy and wanted to find Mrs. Feng to hug her. Meimei knew that the children wanted to sleep, so she wanted to take them back to Tsinghua University. She went to the couch to bow and leave. The old lady said: "Go, take the children. Let's go to sleep for a while, the wife in-law is rarely here, and we need to talk again!"

Mrs. Qin nodded with a smile: "The nephews will be noisy, don't worry about it, help take care of them! I'll talk to my ancestors, and I'll be here soon!"

Meimei led Feng Shi out, each with a small thing in her arms, while Cuisi and Xia Lian took care of Heng'er, got into the sedan chair, and went back to Tsinghua University to rest.

As soon as the aunts and sisters-in-law left, the old lady instructed the girls and daughters-in-law to go back and rest. The second wife also wanted to take the opportunity to resign and leave, but was kept by the old lady. Except for the second wife, no one knew about it.In the afternoon, Mrs. Qin returned to Tsinghua University, and talked with Meimei worriedly, and Meimei rolled her eyes again in anger.

The shrewd old lady turned this corner when she heard Mrs. Qin's visit, trying to persuade her daughter to let Xu Junying take a concubine through Mrs. Qin!

The old lady said to Mrs. Qin like this: "You are also a person with descendants around your knees. You have two grandchildren and granddaughters at once, and the children can make up a good name! But look at Junying, at such an age, you only have one constant son." She doesn't even have a concubine daughter! The second wife's descendants are prosperous, she has several grandsons and granddaughters, but the eldest grandson who is the head of the Marquis has a difficult heir. As a grandmother, my heart is in a panic Ah, worrying about them, I can't sleep at night! Junying is a respectable person outside, and has only one son, but he can't take a concubine or a roommate, so he is ridiculed by his colleagues. What do you think? My grandson, my heart aches! But what if I break my heart? For this reason, my grandson-in-law and I have a grudge, and my son can't help it, let alone a grandson who is separated by a belly! He pampers his wife and doesn't obey Grandmother, you obey your wives, I don't blame them for being unfilial, but how do their young couples know how powerful they are? Now they are young, they only care about love and pleasure, and don't care about their children and grandchildren. Know yourself! In a few years, when Junying arrives at Erli, the eldest is not young, and I am afraid it will be too late to regret. I am old and do my best to do nothing, only sad, helpless. The Qin family is also a famous family in Yuezhou. In a family of rites, the girl is also well-bred, but this kind of jealousy is the most taboo of the virtuous. If the wife of the in-law is cheap, you can persuade her - since she is not willing to be disciplined by the in-law's family, she should obey the words of the in-law. Do you want to listen? Now that there is only one Henger, what should I do if something goes wrong? After that serious illness, the imperial doctor told Junying that she was too weak inside, or she could not reproduce. They just ignored her, and Junying came back from outside the pass For more than a year, the husband and wife were as loving as ever, but there was no movement. The daughters-in-law in the mansion gave birth and conceived, and it was they... who were willing to accept a concubine obediently, and gave birth to children, and they belonged to her name , so many descendants of such a handsome man, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for her, how can she not understand? Alas! I will die with peace in the future, just for them! Wuyan went to see his parents, I am sorry for the ancestors!"

At the end of the old lady's words, she burst into tears. Mrs. Qin felt ashamed and couldn't persuade her, so she could only sigh.

She knew early on that her daughter was at odds with the elders of the Xu family. Since her daughter recovered from that illness, her temper has changed drastically. , Afterwards, it's up to her whether she obeys or not.Sometimes I also think that my daughter was too weak in the past and suffered a great loss. Maybe she became like this because she had too much resentment towards the elders of the Xu family. After that, the days got better and better. Too weak is really not good. Instead of seeing her being bullied, it is better Let her bully others, she just pretends not to know.But the old lady sent people to the mansion several times to complain, and after listening to Mama Wang tell her about the bold things she did before, even the second wife dared to scold her. Divided into two, the old lady may hate her so much!It's true that the daughter was born by herself, but she will grow up, raising a son is not raising her heart, what kind of character will become of her, how can a mother control it?After all, she is a Mrs. Hou, a first-class Mrs. Wang, who is deeply favored by the Hou Ye. If a mother can't talk to her, so what?Every time her daughter returned to her natal home, she was full of laughter and joy. Although Mrs. Qin was happy, she felt a dull pain in her heart when she thought about the situation that she was not liked by her elders in the waiting mansion, and she couldn't take care of each other. On the first day of the lunar new year, I went to the temple to pray for my daughter, and got a lucky lottery. The master who released the lottery told her: "After the Lantern Festival, send the blessings of parents and brothers to her home on the [-]th day, and get the greatest benefits!"

Of course she wanted her daughter to get the greatest benefit, no matter what it was, it was good.Before coming here, I thought about it a lot: now it is different from the past, even if the elders in the mansion don't like their daughter, they must not use their family status to suppress each other, the Qin Mansion is no longer the Qin Mansion of the past.Therefore, she specially prepared, at any cost, to give the old lady, the first housewife, and the second housewife the most expensive presents nowadays. She was going to meet the old lady with an attitude of neither overbearing nor humble, but she thought peace should be the most important thing, my daughter After all, she is married into the Xu family, and she will live in Xu's house for the rest of her life. As a mother, she can only hope that her family will be happy and that everything will be happy. From then on, I changed my mind and treated my daughter more kindly, which was my wish.Therefore, she did her best to please the old lady, and to try her best to please the old lady, a person who is not very talkative at first, did not expect to say many cute words along the way.The old lady was delighted to hear it, and at the end she said these words, which made her feel ashamed and didn't know what to do.

It is not a small crime to teach a daughter badly, and the daughter is known as unvirtuous and jealous in her husband's family.
But what can a mother do?The Qin family is a scholarly family, a family of poetry and rites, and men also take concubines. Back then, Mrs. Qin only gave birth to two brothers and sisters, Qin Boqing, but Qin's father never mentioned taking concubines. An old man in the family asked about it, and she carefully persuaded her Husband, but the husband doesn't want it. She was glad that she married with one heart, but she didn't expect that many years later, her daughter would still face this situation!

But if the daughter is really unable to give birth, she has to take a concubine for Lord Hou. The Xu family can't allow their husband and wife to have only one child. As a mother, she can't allow her daughter to stop her husband from taking a concubine because of self-willedness and jealousy. , to reproduce offspring, this is emotional and reasonable, it doesn't make sense!
Mrs. Qin replied to the old lady: "Don't worry, old ancestor. If it's just this point, I will teach her! The offspring are the most important thing. If you are temporarily weak and unable to have children, you should take concubines for the waiting master and take them into the house. Man, this is right!"
