Phoenix Indus

Chapter 7

As Jun Xuewen wished, Jun Xueqi nodded with grievance, sadness and tears, and agreed to marry Jin Yuxuan as the sequel.

On the way back to the lotus courtyard, Jun Xueqi comforted herself in her heart, marrying Jin Yuxuan who has always loved her was much better than marrying a strange man and living a life of being neglected and wronged.

For a woman, in this life, she relies on her father and mother in her natal family, and her husband and son in her husband's family.Marrying a man who loved and doted on her since she was a child, and having a real aunt to be her mother-in-law is indeed much better than marrying into a strange in-law's family and living with no relatives.

Liu Linglan, who lives in the Xikuo courtyard, knew of the movements in the main room of the bamboo courtyard, and she couldn't help but hate Jun Xuewen's scheming and calculations in her heart.

Knowing that Jun Xuewen won't survive this winter, Liu Linglan's life can be said to be carefree and nourishing.She, who gave birth to the eldest grandson of the second household, waited with peace of mind for Jun Xuewen to be rectified and sit on the throne of "Golden Third Grandma" after Jun Xuewen died of illness.

But he didn't expect that Jun Xuewen was going to die, and he wanted to spoil her good deeds and cut off her good way, so he was angry and unwilling.If Jin Yuxuan really married Jun Xueqi as the sequel, then she would never have the chance to "rectify" in her life.

Because of Jin Yuxuan's appointment of Jun Xueqi as a continuation, the Jun family has already nodded, so Master Jin wrote a family letter and sent people to the capital to report the matter to Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jin.

After Liu Linglan learned about it, she edited a letter overnight, and entrusted someone with a lot of money to follow behind the person sent by Master Jin, and sent the letter to the Jin Mansion in the capital, and gave it to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Jin, hoping that Mrs. Liu could reverse the situation. Qiankun won the position of the main wife for her.

After Madam Liu read Liu Linglan's letter, she couldn't help thinking worriedly.

The business of the Jin family in the capital is in the hands of Grandpa Jin, who is only busy with court affairs and rarely cares about business matters.Although Mrs. Jin has been in business with Mrs. Mrs. Jin for ten years, it is just following Mrs. Mrs. Jin's orders and running errands, and she has never been in control.Fourth Master Jin was born of a concubine, not her own, so she never expected him to be truly filial and support her after he became successful.

As for the Jin family's business in Yongning, the ancestral house, the Zhuangzi, and the fields, the second wife of the Jin family is in charge of it, and even Mr. Jin rarely cares about it.Jin Erye's health has been bad since he was a child, and he has always ignored the Jin family's business.The third master of Jin, Jin Yuxuan, is a rare business genius. Sometimes Mr. Jin and Mr. Jin have to ask him what he means when they encounter important matters.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu is very scruples about Jin Yuxuan. Firstly, she is reluctant to let all the property of the Jin family in Yongning belong to the second room, and the first room will not occupy even a penny; , Uncle Jin can't get anything, and the eldest room has to watch the second room's face to live.

Therefore, when Mrs. Liu learned that Jun Xuewen would not be able to give birth to a daughter, and would not be able to have another daughter in the future, she would force Jin Taijun to make the decision and marry her distant niece Liu Linglan to Jin Yuxuan as a concubine. It is to be able to grasp the trend of Yongning, in case the second room uses some tricks behind the scenes to bypass the big room and take charge of the Jin family.

Jun Xuewen was seriously ill, and it won't be long before Mr. Jin and Mr. Jin knew about it, but Mrs. Liu had already learned the news from Liu Linglan, and she was very happy for a while.From her point of view, Liu Linglan who gave birth to a son will definitely be righted, so she waited peacefully in the capital for the news of Liu Linglan's righting.

However, she never thought that Jun Xuewen would risk even her own sister for the sake of Sister Ling, so that the third lady from the Jun family, the richest man in Wenning, would marry into Yongning Jin's family as a continuation.What's more, he didn't expect that the old lady Jun and his wife of Jun's family would nod their heads in agreement.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu wished she could rush to Yongning, stand in front of the gate of Jun's mansion and Jun Xuewen's main room, and curse for three days and three nights to relieve the grievance in her heart.

The next day, after breakfast, Jin Taijun took the handkerchief from Mrs. Liu, wiped his hands, and asked with a smile, "Why did you come here so early today? What's the matter? Speak."

Mrs. Liu saw that Jin Taijun asked, so she told Jin Yuxuan that the second room of the Jin family wanted to hire Jun Xueqi as the continuation string, and said with a smile: "A while ago, my daughter-in-law prepared some things for children, and sent someone to Yongning For Linglan, take a look at the recent situation of Linglan and De Geer, but I didn't expect the person I sent to bring back such big news after returning yesterday.

"Mother, you know that Linglan is my niece. Although she lost her parents since she was young, she was raised by a gold slave and silver maidservant in a good family. It was Yuxuan's daughter-in-law who injured her body when she gave birth to sister Ling, and she couldn't reproduce. After raising her, she betrothed the good child to Yuxuan as a concubine, in order to give Yuxuan a son and pass on the incense from the second room.

"If Yuxuan's daughter-in-law is gone now, Linglan, who gave birth to a son, should be supported as the main wife. Why bother to marry Xuxian into the family? Could it be that Linglan is really not worthy of Yuxuan, only a concubine? This choice is also very strange, if it is someone else’s daughter, it’s nothing more than the daughter-in-law of Yuxuan’s daughter-in-law. Could it be that all the young ladies of the Jun family are good? Daughter of the Jun family, our Jin family won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Grandmother Jin Liu also complained: "It is reasonable to say that the younger generation does not talk about the elders, but this time the second uncle and the second aunt also acted inappropriately. Linglan is also well-educated. After giving birth to a son, the family background is also innocent. If the third aunt is really gone, she should be brought upright, and the eldest grandson of the second room can also become a descendant. Although the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson are both eldest grandsons, there is a big difference. It is said that a mother is more valuable than a child, and for the sake of the child, Linglan should be respected."

Liu Linglan is the daughter of Mrs. Liu's distant cousin, and Mrs. Liu is the daughter of Mrs. Liu's younger brother. They are both members of the Liu family, so the Liu family naturally speaks for their own family.

Jin Taijun listened to what their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said, nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know about it. Go ahead, and I will discuss it with him when the grandfather comes back later."

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu knew Taijun Jin's temper, talking too much would spoil the matter, so they chatted with each other for a few homely gossips, and then asked to resign to take care of the affairs of the mansion.

Jin Taijun is nearly seventy years old. He has survived most of his life. He was born in a scholarly family and married into an official and businessman's family. What has he never heard or seen?
Although Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu's words were reasonable, they also had their own selfish intentions. Therefore, Jin Taijun did not believe that Erfang's move was really wrong, but planned to ask Jin Taiye what he meant when he came back for lunch.

Grandpa Jin had received a letter from Mr. Jin from Yongning in the Jin family's head office in the capital city in the morning, and when he returned to Jin's mansion for lunch, he told Jun Xuewen about Jun Xuewen's illness and Jin Yuxuan's desire to hire Jun Xueqi as his successor. After seeing Jin Taijun, he said: "The reputation and family background of the Jun family are not to be chosen, otherwise Yuxuan would not have been allowed to marry the young lady of the Jun family. My son, but I haven't made any mistakes in the past few years. The second child said in the letter that the third lady of the Jun family is much better than Yuxuan's daughter-in-law, and has helped the wife of the Jun family with the affairs of the Jun family for more than a year. Now, it can be seen that he is a sensible and capable person. The Jun family also nodded, I think there is nothing wrong with it, let's do this, what do you think?"

Seeing that Mrs. Jin mentioned it, Jin Taijun simply learned from Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu's words, and then said embarrassingly: "I think the meaning of the eldest daughter-in-law and Yuyu's daughter-in-law seems to blame the second son's family for looking down on them." After entering the Liu family, Linglan, who gave birth to the eldest grandson, was left alone, and she wanted to marry Xu Xian to come in and overwhelm Linglan. If you think it is appropriate to marry the third lady of the Jun family, I will naturally not stop her. It's just that I'm afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law will be separated from the second room because of this matter.

"After all, it's a family. It's not a good thing to hurt anyone's dignity. As the saying goes, 'everything prospers in harmony with family'. Besides, the Liu family's family background is also there. If it is because of this marriage , Hurt the face of Liu's family, and it's not worth it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jin, who was drinking tea, put the teacup heavily on the table, and snorted coldly, "The Liu family wants face, so don't we, the Jin family, have no face? Could it be that our Jin family can't even marry a wife?" You have to support a concubine's room as the main room, and it will make people laugh if it is spread. Yuxuan will be in charge in the future, and his daughter-in-law will be the mistress of the Jin family in the future. Do you want people outside to talk about his main room? Fuzheng's concubine? Are you going to let a concubine-born concubine deal with the wives and grandmas of the principal? You tell the eldest daughter-in-law and Yuyu's daughter-in-law not to make such small calculations, I'm not dead yet."

After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to eat lunch, got up and hurried into the inner room to rest for a while.

Seeing that Grandpa Jin was so angry, Jin Taijun was full of grievances, and he couldn't go in to argue with Jin Taiye anymore, so he could only get angry sullenly.

She understands Mrs. Jin's words, but the Liu family's family background is there. Mrs. Liu and the Liu family have no faults when they are in charge of the family on weekdays, but they have some small calculations of their own. Nothing unusual.

That night, after Mr. Jin returned home, he was called into the study by Mrs. Jin and reprimanded him. Then he went back to the courtyard where he lived with a gloomy face, closed the door of the main room, and reprimanded Mrs. Liu for a long time, as if he was angry. He left Mrs. Liu in the front room in the cold, and slept in the Xikua courtyard where Aunt Wen's lived at night.

Mrs. Liu was scolded by Mr. Jin, and her calculations in her mind were emptied again. She was angry, unwilling and wronged. She cried for most of the night, and Fang fell asleep under the persuasion of the attendants and maids. .

When she got up early the next morning, Mrs. Liu didn't want to go to Jin Taijun's place to say good morning again. She was afraid that it would be boring and embarrassing, so she sent a maid to take sick leave, saying that she was not feeling well, and she was still lying in the room. In the past, I asked Anhe to wait on me.

Jin Taijun naturally understood that Mrs. Liu was avoiding embarrassment, so she didn't ask any further questions, and only asked the maid to go to the open courtyard to pass the message, asking Mrs. Liu to rest more.

After Madam Liu hid in the house and had breakfast, she wrote a reply to Liu Linglan, explaining the meaning of Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jin, and advised her to endure the grievances for the sake of the child and wait for Jun Xueqi to come in. .

After the letter was sent out, Mrs. Liu called Mrs. Liu over again, complained and cried fiercely in front of her, and then she felt her heart calmed down a bit.

After receiving Mrs. Liu's reply, Liu Linglan knew that there was no hope of rectification, so she threw many things in the room, and made a fuss with crying and cursing. She resigned herself to waiting for Jun Xuewen to die of illness and Jun Xueqi to come in.

As the days passed, Liu Linglan slowly thought about it.No matter how good Jun Xueqi is, she is just a little yellow-haired girl who will be born next year, and she is the one who gave birth to the eldest grandson of the second wife of the Jin family.The future is still long, as long as there is her son who is the eldest grandson of the second house, she will not be afraid that the second house of the Jin family will wrong her, and she will not be afraid that Jun Xueqi will make trouble for her after entering the door.

The matter of the wives and concubines in the deep house compound is just that the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, who is right and wrong, who wins and who loses, no one can say for sure...
