Marry the first wife

Bait dumplings are commonly known as dumplings. It is a long-standing custom in Beijing to eat bait dumplings during the Winter Solstice.

Mrs. Fu came from the countryside and retained the rural practices. She tried her best to do it by herself. Mrs. Xie thought that girls making dumplings would be conducive to family harmony, but she didn't say much.
Therefore, General Jingyuan's Mansion retained the practice of making dumplings by hand to increase the closeness between brothers and sisters. This can be regarded as one of the few family ties in a large family.

"Qian'er, come to grandma quickly. There are two brothers, Wei An and Wei Yuan."

Mrs. Fu, who was sitting on the Babu bed, waved to the three brothers and motioned for them to come over.

"Daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters say hello to mother and grandmother." Mrs. Xie took Fu Weiqian, Fu Yao and others to bow to Mrs. Fu.

The sight of her children and grandchildren immediately made Mrs. Fu blush, and she thought to herself: Isn't this what people want in this life?Now she has them all.

"We are all members of our own family. What are we doing with these false etiquettes? It's for modesty, for safety, and for the sake of being far away, why don't you come here quickly?" Mrs. Fu pretended to be angry.

The three brothers showed an awkward yet polite smile and walked up to Mrs. Xie.

Old Mrs. Fu held one of her grandchildren by the hand. Her usually sluggish face was now rosy. She smiled cheerfully and asked some questions about daily life.

Mrs. Xie sat alone at the bottom, sipping tea that was not very good.

There are only three places for good things in the General's Mansion to go, one to her, and one to the General, so the last one is naturally Mrs. Fu.

It's a pity that after all, wild boars can't eat fine chaff, and for people from humble backgrounds, no matter how good the tea leaves are, they can't play their original role.

No, the new tea that was delivered a few days ago, and I took a sip today, it has completely lost its original taste. The failure of the tea leaves to preserve it is secondary, but the method of the person making the tea is really unclassy.

"My dear, Ming Zhang will be back in a while. Some things must be prepared in advance." Mrs. Fu patted her precious grandson's palm and said coldly.

Putting down the teacup as if nothing had happened, Mrs.

A few days ago, when Shen Zhaoxian first came to General Jingyuan's Mansion, General Fu had to meet him briefly, and then left the mansion for business, and he has not returned home until now.

Mrs. Fu was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's understanding. She nodded and said, "Ming Zhang is back. You need to take care of the maids and servants in the house. Don't let those cheap guys get in trouble."

Mrs. Xie stiffened and forced a smile on her lips. Anyone who saw her would understand that her expression was unnatural at this moment.

As a junior, the elders are talking and arguing, and they cannot see or hear.

Fu Yao picked up the tea cup in her hand, lowered her head and took a sip, pretending that she didn't see or hear anything.

She understood what her grandmother meant. She was talking about an incident last year, which was not a good thing. It was more of a shame for Mrs. Xie.

At this time last year, my father was away from home on official duties just like he is now. It was inconvenient for Mrs. Xie to follow General Jingyuan at any time to take care of him.

Therefore, she sent a capable personal maid to take care of her father. Logically speaking, the people who could be reused by Mrs. Xie were the ones she trusted greatly.

That's exactly what happened.

Mrs. Xie had great faith in her maid. Unexpectedly, her maid had other thoughts and wanted to climb into her master's bed and become half the master of General Jingyuan's mansion.It would be fine if Madam Xie knew about this matter, but it happened that Madam Xie didn't know about it. It was not until the end that the matter could no longer be hidden, and the maid's belly was already six or seven months old, that Madam Xie knew the beginning of this scandal.

When a maid has her master's child, it can be said that the carp jumped over the dragon's gate and became an aunt. The matter was originally over.

However, that maid had a bad reputation. Maybe it was luck, and she was destined to climb into the master's bed. She could give birth to a child, but she was still a boy, but she was not lucky enough to enjoy the glory and wealth that would follow.

Dying in childbirth!

The women in the deep house compound can more or less smell the conspiracy, but Mrs. Fu, who was born in the countryside and has been worshiped for many years, can't understand that there is no such thing as being a maid.

The mother didn't know, and the son of the general couldn't possibly not know. No, because of this matter, the couple who were usually harmonious had a lot of conflicts.

It wasn't until recently that he and He Meimei were in the same room, maybe after talking about it.

"By the way, the second and third sons wrote to me saying that they will return to Beijing at the end of the year to report on their work. Please tidy up and clean up, and be careful of dust in the house." Old Mrs. Fu abandoned the topic in a blink of an eye and asked worriedly.

Mrs. Xie had an awkward smile on her face and nodded in agreement.

Old Mrs. Fu turned her head and glanced at the girls' houses, her brows suddenly knitted together, and she said dissatisfiedly: "My dear, tomorrow you ask the embroidery girls in the embroidery room to embroider some clothes for the girls' houses. Beautiful clothes, dressed in such a vegetarian style, I don’t know, I thought they were going to twist their hair to become sisters-in-law tomorrow.”

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Fu Yao who had nothing to do with him or Fu Yu and Fu Fang who were not happy, Zhou Chuyao felt like there was a lump in his throat, and the tea in his hand was no longer fragrant.

When Zhou Chuyao got up early to worship her ancestors and pray for blessings, Zhou Chuyao did not participate in the Fu family's ancestor worship because she was not born and raised in General Jingyuan's Mansion, let alone a grandchild of the Fu family. She was just a resident here.

I have been staying with Mrs. Xie, and I thought that today would pass peacefully. Unexpectedly, I actually suffered a secret loss from Mrs. Fu.

Zhou Chuyao was just an outsider, so the daughters of the Fu family didn't feel very good about it, just like others. As the direct granddaughters of their grandmothers, they still had to suffer this kind of anger.

Helplessly, they had to swallow this anger.

Fu Yao shook her head helplessly. It was rare that her grandmother could talk easily for a while today. She thought she had changed her gender, but she didn't expect that she was waiting for them here. It's hard to change one's nature.

What followed was nothing more than commonplace talk and some family talk. Mrs. Fu felt tired and asked them to leave.

After going out and turning the corner, Fu Fang followed Fu Yao closely.

"Sister, do you know that there are a lot of new things going on in your house recently?" Fu Fang asked mysteriously, with countless stars hidden in her twinkling eyes, "I think eldest sister must not know, right? "

Fu Yao was dumbfounded. She really didn't know what was happening in her house recently.

"Third sister, it doesn't matter if you say it." Fu Yao chuckled. Since Fu Fang was telling her, he would definitely tell her next.
