concubine leisurely

Chapter 98

Hearing Yanran tell the whole story, Father Meng frowned.This matter is not difficult at all, how could a child as smart as Yan'er be so confused?

"My father didn't teach you well," Father Meng could only blame himself. Mrs. Zhong herself was not a very wise mother, and Aunt Ding was born as a concubine, let alone Mrs. Meng. These three can teach Yanran Women, one is more useless than the other, no wonder Yan Ran is so stupid.Alas, if I teach Yanran like I taught Youran, wouldn't it be better?
It's just that this girl, Youran, knows everything. She never tries to persuade others, and never competes with others. She is not like Yanran, with a smart face and a stupid heart.

If you didn't teach it well when you were young, you will learn it when you are older.It is not too late to remedy the situation.My daughter is only 20 years old, and she still has a lifetime to live. Father Meng smiled wryly. Are the children really the creditors of the previous life?
"Don't worry about Yan'er, let's go back first, Daddy has his own way." Father Meng watched Yanran leave reluctantly, sulked for a while in the study, and continued to plan for his children after he was angry.

Yan Ran walked out of the study, and her steps became brisk. Since her father said that there is a way, there must be a way to drive that damned distant cousin away. She and her husband are a loving couple, and they can recite poems and compose Fu elegantly go down.

Deep in the flower path, a little girl came out timidly and saluted timidly, "Grandma Sangu, Auntie, please go over and talk."

Seeing that it was Feng'er, the little girl next to Aunt Ding, Yan Ran was so angry that she was all to blame!If you want to be a concubine for others, you will embarrass your identity. The sisters-in-law are all serious daughters-in-law!Only she is a nominal prostitute.I don't want to compare it to others, no one taught me how to be a wife since I was a child!Aunt Ding is all for her own good, but she has never married anyone, so what can she teach herself, is she just a blind idea.

Yan Ran slowly played with the handkerchief in her hand, and said inadvertently, "It's getting late, I have to go home, see you some other day."

Seeing Yanran raised her foot to leave, Feng'er was worried, and just didn't know what to do, only heard someone call "Grandma Sangu!", but it was Aunt Ding who came in person.

Seeing Aunt Ding staring at her with tears in her eyes, Yan Ran felt a little guilty. Was she too heartless if she was her own mother?Thinking about my own situation, my heart hardened again, and I shouted willfully, "It's all your fault! You are a concubine yourself, and you will only bother me with being a concubine!"

Yelling and yelling, Yanran ran away crying with tears in her eyes.

Aunt Ding fell to the ground, she couldn't even shed tears, and all thoughts were lost.

Feng'er is a straightforward girl. Seeing Yanran treat Aunt Ding like this, she couldn't help saying angrily, "The fourth and fifth aunts are all raised by my aunt, and they are all good!" temper!
"Don't blame her," Aunt Ding murmured, "I got her into trouble." She is so beautiful and good, she should be born as a prostitute.

It took a lot of effort for Feng'er to help Auntie Ding up on the ground, "Where are you going?" Seeing that Auntie Ding didn't go to her own yard, but went to the direction of the study, Feng'er became anxious.

Everyone knows the wife, as long as the master ignores the aunts and concubines, she will let the aunts carefree; if the master goes to the aunt's place, or the aunt goes to the master's place, she will definitely lose face.

Now Auntie Ding is free from morning and evening appointments, and the master deliberately ordered not to be treated slowly, and the expenses for food and clothing are all high-end, and the servants also respect; The one who suffers is the aunt.

"Don't worry," Auntie Ding knew about Feng'er, and comforted her softly, "It's just punishment or beating, but it won't kill me. My daughter is in trouble, how can you let me stand by and watch?"

Feng'er stared blankly at Aunt Ding who had made up her mind, and felt ruthless in her heart: such a mother who cares about you, third girl, you really have the heart!

In the study, Father Meng, who had just recovered, looked helplessly at Aunt Ding who forced her way in and knelt and wept at her feet. After resting tiredly, he closed his eyes for a while, opened them, and said gently, "Yan'er!" I know everything about it, don't worry, you can find your own way."

"The third aunt's life is hard. She was born in my useless belly. She has suffered so much since she was a child! The master wants to make decisions for her." Auntie Ding first hugged Father Meng's thigh and cried, then lay down on the ground and kowtowed heavily , His forehead was red and swollen.

Father Meng was very tired, so he didn't help her. He just sat on the armchair and looked at her with pity.A piece of love for daughters, poor, poor.Huang Xin is also obsessed with loving daughters, but she will definitely not do this. She will only look at herself with dependent and adoring eyes, smile softly, and have a beautiful voice like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, "I can't trust you, sir." Listen to the master." Let the man feel comfortable after listening.

The same is a stupid woman, Huang Xin knows that she is stupid, so she is obedient, listens to her husband, listens to her daughter, and never makes up her own mind; this one in front of her is both stupid and disobedient.

She never knew her husband, never knew that her husband loves her daughter no less than she does.

"Master, please! Please!" Aunt Ding kowtowed heavily, feeling more and more desperate, what should Yanran do!What is Yanran going to do!
Are you not tired?Father Meng was gentle with a touch of coldness, "Get up first, and talk carefully."

Perhaps Aunt Ding was tired from kowtowing, perhaps it was because Father Meng had been silent for too long, and his first words gave her hope. She stopped obediently, knelt and crawled to her husband's feet, raised her head, looked at her husband humblely, and begged for mercy. puppies in general.

"Xiaoyu told me a few days ago that he wants to pick you up." After staring at Aunt Ding silently for a while, Father Meng spoke slowly.The woman in front of him had also been warm with him before, but now she is in a mess, her hair is messy, and her forehead is red and swollen.

Aunt Ding trembled, and hurriedly argued, "Master, I never mentioned it to Brother Yu! I didn't instigate it!"

Who said you provoked?Father Meng closed his eyes and rested for a while, calmed down, and said again, "Yan'er was born, and you raised him for a while after all, but Xiaoyu was taken away after birth; therefore, you love Yan'er so much. some, isn't it?"

sir what does this mean?Aunt Ding didn't understand much, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, she just said vaguely, "My own, which one doesn't hurt."

Actually it is.She really cared less about Xiaoyu who was taken away after birth.After raising Yan Ran for a while, she will be worried.

Besides, the Hu family is so powerful, Auntie Ding always thought that Xiaoyu would never belong to her again.But he didn't expect that Xiaoyu would have a day to live alone in his own family.Without the control of his stepmother, he has the final say on everything.

If I had known that the Hu family would be imprisoned in the family temple, I should have treated Xiaoyu better.Aunt Ding felt vaguely regretful.

However, they also sent food and clothes back then, but they were all thrown out by the Hu family.Aunt Ding was at a loss.

"Xiaoyu, there should be someone who really loves him and lives with him so that he can take care of him; this person is not you." Father Meng said slowly, if he had hesitated before, he has really made up his mind now Determined, "You stay at home, and one day I will make you worry about food and clothing; even if I go first, my son and daughter-in-law will treat you kindly."

Aunt Ding was about to speak hastily, but Father Meng stopped her with a word, "Didn't you tell me back then that as long as you have enough to eat, that's enough?"

Aunt Ding was speechless.Back then, life in Ding's family was really hard, food and clothing were scarce, and she was in danger of being sold by her aunt from time to time. Compared with the other concubines of Ding's family, marrying to Meng's as a concubine was not bad.At least Meng Jiafeng has enough food and clothing, and Meng Lai is young and handsome.

"I'm a miserable person, I just ask the master to take pity on me!" Aunt Ding begged, hugging her husband.

Aunt Ding is indeed suffering.As concubines, both Huang Xin and Du Qing were blessed to raise their daughters with their own hands, but she didn't.She only raised Yanran herself for a while before she was taken away by Mrs. Meng.Later, the four women of the Meng family became pregnant one after another. They were all lucky and gave birth to daughters, but she was unlucky enough to give birth to a son, who was taken away by the third room after birth.

"The children are my own, Yan'er and Xiaoyu, I will take care of them. You can rest assured. As for you, although you can't afford it, I can always protect you." Father Meng's words are always so gentle , "Besides, you don't have to think about it."

"I'm not afraid of being beaten or punished," Aunt Ding said softly, "I just want to serve the master again."

"I'm almost fifty," Father Meng said gently, "I'm old, and I just want to live a few days to rest."

I can't stand the noise anymore.

Aunt Ding silently kowtowed and quietly backed out.The sun outside was dazzling, "Feng'er, the sun is so big, look, I was so stabbed to tears." Aunt Ding was crying while laughing, Feng'er forced herself to laugh at Auntie Ding who was bursting into tears, feeling sour in her heart , half-dragging and half-carrying, took Aunt Ding back to her yard, helped her to wash up and then rested.

"Is it quiet over there?" Aunt Du asked in the next yard.

The little girl Zhui'er curled her lips, "It's finally clean." She complained to Aunt Du, "I don't know what she's doing." My aunt still goes to flatter her wife every day, it's more bitter than her!But never a single complaint!

"If Grandma Sangu's life is not going well, she will definitely feel uncomfortable." Aunt Du is very open-minded, "Let her go. They are all hard-working people."

Zhui'er is not happy anymore, "How can I be like her? Our fourth girl lives in such a comfortable life." The couple are in Datong, single-family, "The fourth son-in-law obeys the fourth aunt's orders! The fourth aunt is happy .”

Aunt Du smiled, "Little girl! You know everything! I'll find you a son-in-law tomorrow."

Zhui'er blushed and ran out.

Aunt Du continued to work with a smile.She is making a child's bellyband, and she is happy that she will be able to use it soon.

That night.

"Fourth sister is happy?" Zhong Wei was very happy, "How many months? Why did you write this letter?" The work in hand was non-stop.

Meng Zhengxian put away the letters from An Ran and Li Ze, sat next to his wife, and said hesitantly, "Ah Wei, why don't you do it."

Zhong Wei smiled at Mimi and asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng Zhengxian didn't say why.He couldn't say it.I wanted to show off to my brother-in-law, but instead I was despised by my brother-in-law. "As long as it's comfortable to wear, who does it differently? I can't bear to ask my Ayou to make clothes with stitches and stitches!" She looked like she was afraid of exhausting her wife.

Married a daughter-in-law who can't do anything, how dare he look proud!Meng Zhengxian thought about it indignantly, but said, "Don't tire you out. Whoever dresses differently."

Zhong Wei smiled gently at her husband and continued with her sewing.

Meng Zhengxian stretched out his hand, put aside the work in his wife's hands, and whispered in his wife's ear, "When this is a good night, we should do something else."

"What?" Zhong Wei was puzzled.Meng Zhengxian hugged his wife, and smiled wickedly at her, "Have a daughter, we don't have a daughter yet, Ah Wei, let's have a daughter."

So did Meng Zhengxuan.Said to Ji Yun, "I won't be picky in the future." Is it possible that I am a gentle and elegant person, and I don't have a brother-in-law who loves his wife?

After Ji Yun knew what was going on, she laughed and fell into her husband's arms.That's great. Originally, my parents were worried that the Meng family had no foundation. It was Zhengxuan who liked Yushu Linfeng and insisted on marrying him.Praise yourself, you have a good vision, the son and son-in-law of the Meng family love their daughter-in-law more than anyone else.

Lu's.

"Do you love your wife?" The "distant cousin" Ms. Fang Wu snorted, "Can the second cousin be regarded as loving your wife?"

Mrs. Fang is 50 to [-] years old, with a weathered face, and she is thinking carefully with her daughter, "We are desperate, or mother would not want you to be a child. It's just that these three brothers have to be carefully selected."

"You don't need to pick any more, it's the second cousin." Miss Fang Wu was very decisive.

Mrs. Fang frowned, "Why him?" The eldest has already made a name for himself and is now the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice; the third has military merit and is a palace guard.Only the second child can only recite poems and compose Fu, but there is nothing wrong with it.

"Because," Fang Wu said with a smile, "Second Cousin has the softest heart."

The eldest is famous, but such a utilitarian man, the temptation of his beauty is limited; the third has military achievements, and often teases himself, but there is no warmth in his eyes, only defensiveness; only the second, look at his own eyes Be gentle and friendly.

"The three brothers have not separated, and the ones who have been able to separate for ten or eight years are the same. Besides, the first cousin and the third cousin are so powerful, and only the second cousin is an idiot." The Wu family has been in decline for many years, and they have already learned to observe words and expressions.

"Do as you please." Mrs. Fang said with a dejected expression, "In these years, since your father passed away, we have no livelihood. We went to Xi'an from our hometown to join your uncle, but your aunt refused to take us in; when we went to Nanjing to join your aunt, your uncle also I have something to say; there is no way to find your uncle who is far away in the East China Sea, and the uncle has no news; these years of running around, tired people. As long as you can settle down, you will be satisfied."

There was really no other way, thinking of Mrs. Lu, a distant cousin, she managed to stay here smoothly.He was originally an innocent family, but now he can't care about anything else, he can do anything big or small, first he needs a place to stay.

"Don't worry, mother," the petite and exquisite Fang Wu said with a smile, "We, mother and daughter, will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the capital."
