Chapter 348

Among the four brothers and sisters of the Su family, only Su Yu'an was a concubine. To be more precise, among the children, he was the only one who was a concubine.

His biological mother, Aunt Yang, was the dowry girl of Su Yi's original wife Da Lu.

When Mrs. Lu became pregnant, it was inconvenient to serve Su Yi, so she chose a pretty and honest girl from among her dowry girls, and sent them to Su Yi.

At that time, the old lady of the Su family, that is, Su Yi's mother was still there. After learning about this, she repeatedly praised Da Lu's virtuousness, which forced Su Yi to accept Yang as a housekeeper.

Later, I gradually discovered that this Yang family is really well-behaved and sensible, he does not fight or grab, although he has not read any books, but the reason is clear, he respects the old lady, serves Da Lu and him, and is very well-behaved.

After coming and going, Su Yi felt compassionate, so he asked her to sleep with her.

Why is it called compassion?

Because in this era, if you are a wife and concubine but cannot serve your husband, no matter what the reasons are, you will be regarded by others as unfavorable to your husband, and you will be ridiculed and criticized.

So Su Yi accepted Yang Shi and raised her as a good concubine after she went to bed, which was good for Yang Shi.

Later, Da Lu's childbirth was not smooth, and he passed away after giving birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus. Therefore, before Cui's family entered the house, there was only Yang's concubine in the mansion.

Because of this, Xiao Lu, who had a lot of thoughts on Su Yi back then, made things difficult for her and was mean to her.

However, Yang's temperament is indeed gentle, and he has always been patient and evasive.

Seeing it in Su Yi's eyes, he was more sympathetic, and Su Yu'an was born after a few rounds.

Although there is such a saying that a mother is more expensive than a child, Yang always knew in her heart that she was born in slavery, and she was lucky to be released as a good concubine of a wealthy family.

My son is not the eldest son, so if he can grow up in peace, it is enough to provide her with a pension, nothing else is required.

And it was precisely because he saw that Yang's mind was upright, so Su Yi did not raise his legitimate son and concubine son separately like other high-ranking families, but treated them equally and brought them with him.

Later when Cui's family entered the mansion, Yang's family was still respectful.

Cui Shi was originally a good-natured scholarly lady, seeing that Yang Shi was stable and honest, she got along very well.

Even so, Yang always reminded his son that he must respect his elder brother, love his sisters, and honor his father and mother.

The mother here refers to the Cui family, and the Yang family is a concubine, so she can only be called aunt.

Yue Mo has completely inherited Yang's honest and gentle temperament, and in addition, he has always been harmonious in the mansion, and has never been treated differently, so Su Yu'an has really cultivated a good temper.

He is not as good at reading as Su Yuzheng, but he is definitely not too inferior. It can be seen from the fact that he was also in the top two during the scientific examination.

One of the two brothers is at the top of the list, and the other is almost at the bottom of the list.

This result is naturally not bad, and then he will be an official, and entered the Hanlin Academy with his brother.

If there is any shortcoming of Su Yu'an, it is probably too conservative and introverted, thinking about everything, always afraid of offending others, and afraid to stand out.

At home, there was a quarrel between Su Zhiyi and Su Junning, and Su Yuzheng dared to reprimand him, but he never spoke, or tried to persuade him to make peace. Outside, he always hid behind his father and elder brother, and would not come forward if he could not show up. come forward.

When I was young, I kept in mind Aunt Yang's words, and remembered not to be too aggressive and steal the limelight from my brother-in-law. Later, I gradually got used to it, and even developed a temperament that I don't want to take risks, but I don't want to take risks.

He didn't show much when he was studying, but when he entered the court and became an official, his shortcomings were revealed.

Su Yuzhen was with him every day, and was the first to discover this, so he began to train him intentionally or unintentionally.

The two brothers have a good relationship, and Su Yuzhen would never think that the concubine's younger brother is too good, if he overwhelms him, he will lose face or something.

One prospers all prospers one loses all loses, this is what Su Yi often teaches.

Circumstances always change people.

Especially in a place as complicated as officialdom.

Under the guidance of Su Yi and Su Yuxuan, as well as the guidance of senior officials in the officialdom, Su Yu'an's temperament was slowly regained.

Of course, the premise is that Su Yu'an is really capable of doing the job well, otherwise, even if he dares to take on the job, he won't be able to do it well.

He has grown up, and he has slowly found his own way.

Su Yuzhen is more meticulous than him, and he handles things more neatly and simply. He is suitable for the career of an official. It is very good to go to the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households. Just fine.

It can be regarded as being able to pick up half of my father's class.

When Su Yi asked about the two brothers' views on their respective futures, he said it frankly. Of course, he also got the support of his family.

The two brothers happened to be able to support each other in court.

The official career is smooth, and then there is a family.

After looking at each other for a while, they decided to be the first daughter of the Wu family.

The family background of the Wu family is lower than that of the Su family, so it is a good match for Miss Wu's Gao family to match Su Yu'an.

In particular, Su Yu'an already has an official position, has a good official career, and looks good, so the marriage was arranged smoothly.

After they got married, Wu's and Su Yu'an's relationship was quite good, but they were not as close as Su Yuzhen and Fang's.

For example, when couples rarely hold hands or hug each other, although they are familiar with each other and have each other in their hearts, there is no warm feeling.

Probably the four words "respect each other as guests" are the most appropriate to describe the couple.

This phenomenon should be caused by the meekness and restraint of both of them.

Needless to say, Su Yuan'an, the Wu family was taught by his family.

In fact, the Wu family is somewhat patriarchal, probably because the Wu family is a legitimate daughter, and she will have to marry someone to be the mistress in the future, so she has to be educated seriously.

But the serious upbringing here refers to such things as women are taught by women, housework is given to them, and husbands and children are taught.

So Mrs. Wu is indeed a qualified and capable man who manages the inner house, but in terms of poetry, songs, rhythm, silk and bamboo, it does belong to the ordinary category.

Su Yu'an is a man, and it's okay to discuss some poetry, books, piano and chess with his wife, but the Wu family is not quite up to his level, so he can only talk to him about trivial matters at home.

After coming and going, there is no topic to talk about, and they can't get intimate, so they just respect each other like guests.

But fortunately, judging by the standards of this era, Wu is a very qualified wife, and she never feels resentful because of these things. On the contrary, she thinks that it's good to be like Su Yu'an.

Although it is unavoidable to envy the way brother and sister-in-law get along, neither the husband nor wife have other thoughts.

However, there is one thing about Wu's family that Fang's envy is that she really has a very good relationship with offspring.

The eldest son was born in the second year of marriage, and she became pregnant again after a year and a half, and gave birth to a daughter.

The doctor said that it is not good for the birth to be too dense, which is not good for the body, so Su Yu'an specially ordered medicine to nourish her body and use it as a contraceptive.

But after drinking the medicine like this for three years, as soon as she stopped, she became pregnant again and gave birth to her second son.

Although Fang later gave birth to two sons in one birth, they caught up in one go.

But I have to admit that when Wu Shi gave birth one after another, Fang Shi was very envious.

To say that this is also divided into physique and person.

When Wu was 42 years old, she gave birth to her last child, a youngest daughter. After doing the math, she and Su Yu'an had three sons and two daughters in total.

Although it is said that they have never been vigorous and vigorous in their whole life, they can be regarded as joining hands with each other kindly for a lifetime.

Of course, there are still hiccups.

When Wu was 35 years old, she became pregnant with her fourth child. Su Yu'an didn't think about it because she didn't take a concubine before.

At that time, Mrs. Wu had just conceived, but he was just about to be promoted, so some people had to congratulate him, and he often came home late after drinking.

Because it is inconvenient to go to the main courtyard to disturb, so I rest in the study.

Unexpectedly, after such a period of time, a young maid who had just entered the mansion in the front yard took advantage of the loophole.

Su Yu'an came home late after drinking, and the maid bought the porter of the study to serve her, and then climbed onto Su Yu'an's bed.

After just one night, Su Yu'an woke up and found that he was very angry.

After all, it is extremely shameless for this maid to crawl on the bed in a decent family.

However, thinking that Mrs. Wu was pregnant, it was not good to make a big fuss and disturb her, so Su Yu'an directly fed the maid to Bizitang, rushed to a remote place to work, and tidied up the front yard.

Unexpectedly, the maid was so thoughtful that she secretly pinched her throat, spit out the medicine, and waited for two months in silence. After confirming that she was pregnant, she made a fuss in front of Mrs. Wu.

Although Wu has a good temper, she is now pregnant after being pampered for many years, and she also has a strong sense of rules, so she is still angry.

Especially the servant girl didn't speak well, but started crying when she came up. After listening to the process, Mrs. Wu felt a lot of abdominal pain. She was so frightened that the mansion hurriedly invited a doctor.

After Su Yu'an came back, she was summoned by Su Yi and Cui Shi to give him a lecture. After all, this maid was not kept in the mansion, but sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

It's not that the Su family doesn't allow concubines, but they need concubines to live in order and abide by the rules, but this maid can't see it at first glance, so such a curse must not be left behind.

After this incident, Su Yu'an and Wu's husband and wife became closer.

Later the maid gave birth to a daughter.

After Wu knew about it, he sent someone to bring the concubine back and raise her under his knees.

Who would have thought that the servant girl would not let her go, and she wanted to go back to the mansion to be an aunt, causing endless troubles in Zhuangzi.

Clay figurines also have a three-point temper. After Mrs. Wu asked Su Yu'an, she said directly, telling that maid to work in Zhuangzi. Miss Fifth, the second room of the Su family, has nothing to do with that maid.

Later, after both Su Yi and Cui's passed away, both Su Yu'an and Wu's thought that they could not live on their elder brother's body for the rest of their lives. Anyway, Su Yu'an also had an official residence granted by the imperial court, so they discussed and moved out.

Completely in charge of his own family, Wu's life is more comfortable than when he was in the boudoir.

He and Su Yu'an, with their sons and daughters around their knees, have respected each other as guests for a lifetime.

If there is no love at all between the two, that's not necessarily true. Maybe it's because they are not good at expressing and they hide it too deeply.

In his later years, Wu's body was weaker and he was always lingering on the sick bed. Although Su Yu'an didn't talk much, he just accompanied him every day.

Later, the Wu family passed away first, Su Yu'an closed the door, and watched his wife's body alone in the room, crying silently for a long time.

Perhaps it was because of reluctance to part with each other, one year after Wu's death, Su Yu'an's health was not good, and he followed him two years later.

There are always differences between people, whether they are vigorous or ordinary, but they are all true friendships.
