Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 60

From the side wife to the eldest wife, Li's transformation cannot be ignored.

Although Tong Wanrou said that she came back with a full stomach, but Li Shi was not willing to make her work hard, that is, she was seated at the front during the noon ceremony, and she completely witnessed the whole process. After Li Shi accepted the responsibility of the mistress, He deliberately pulled Tong Wanrou to stand up, and accepted the congratulations with her, and also showed that Tong Wanrou's bulging womb told everyone that this was the only direct son and grandson of the Fucha family.

With a smile on her face, Tong Wanrou thanked everyone with Mrs. Li, and then she was seated next to Mrs. Mrs. Li treated her differently from other times. Shrimp peeling, several aunts wanted to replace Li Shi and help Tong Wanrou peel the shrimp, but Li Shi politely refused them all, and only let Tong Wanrou eat what she had handed.

Li Shi's carefulness, Tong Wanrou can naturally feel it, and she is not surprised, because, just now, she, Tong Wanrou, has been invisibly promoted as the first daughter-in-law of the Fucha family. The headed mistress of the family, the husband-in-law is an official in the court, and her steady progress is unstoppable, and what she is pregnant with is the eldest grandson of the Fucha family. This status is suppressed, and she is no longer Tong Wanrou. The concubine's concubine's wife who just married into the mansion, even Tong Wanrou herself has not adapted to this change, let alone others, so Li Shi is always careful, lest others will be malicious because they cannot change.

Tong Wanrou is also polite and well-behaved, and obeys Li's words. No matter what others say, she always remembers one sentence. In the Fucha mansion, the only people who can be trusted are the husband and the mother-in-law. No matter what, these two people will never treat her badly. Any threat will protect her desperately.

In the next ten days, Tong Wanrou became a little troubled. In the past, she had no status in the mansion, so she lived a comfortable life, but now she couldn't feel comfortable even if she wanted to. A large number of guests came and went, without a trace. Without stopping, they came to congratulate her one after another. By the way, everyone came to say good things.

One or two is okay, but once there are more such people, it will not be so fun.

Mrs. Li could only do her best to dismiss her, but some visiting guests could not afford to offend her. Only then did Tong Wanrou fully understand the purpose of her husband's wanting her to return to Shanxi to give birth. She couldn't survive even these ten days.

From the fourth day onwards, Tong Wanrou's complexion became a little bad. Li Shi saw it and knew that this could not go on, so she cut off Tong Wanrou's meeting with guests regardless of everything, and let her recuperate in the backyard with peace of mind. Everything was up to her to bear.

On the sixth day, a person that Li Shi could not refuse came to the mansion - Wu Shi.

This time, Wushi came to visit Lishi formally, and asked to see his pregnant daughter by the way.

Thinking that she is Tong Wanrou's mother after all, no matter how much she despised them in the past, she is still a biological mother in name, if she is kept out, firstly, it will be true, and secondly, it will attract unnecessary speculation from the outside world.

After discussing with Tong Wanrou, Mrs. Li decided to receive this in-law in Tong Wanrou's backyard who had vowed never to step into the Fucha Mansion and never to recognize this daughter again.

Since breaking up with Tong Wanrou in front of the Fucha mansion last time, it was the first time that Wu Zhi showed his face.

Tong Wanrou wrote a letter to Wuzhi one month before going to Shanxi, and mentioned in the letter that she wanted to meet her before going to Shanxi, but after waiting for a month, Wuzhi did not send her any news.

From then on, Tong Wanrou thought that maybe her mother-in-law had completely abandoned her, because in the Tong family, she was a selfish daughter who disregarded the interests of the family.

Stretching his stomach, he appeared in the flower hall with the support of two maidservants. Wu Shi was drinking tea. Seeing her coming, he also stood up from his seat. He seemed to want to help her, but hesitated for a moment, and then retracted. He wanted to support Tong Wanrou, and waited for her to walk in.

Tong Wanrou bowed to Wushi with a big belly, and Wushi just raised her hand lightly, watching her being helped by two maidservants to sit aside.

Mrs. Li deliberately came in late, in order to let the mother and daughter have a chat, Tong Wanrou smiled at Wushi, her once immature and pure face now seemed to have the charm of a young woman, and it was much more mellow .

"I haven't seen you for a long time, my mother seems to have lost weight."

Hearing Tong Wanrou's opening, Wu Shi coughed lightly again, did not answer her question, but pointed to her stomach and asked:

"How many months?"

Tong Wanrou held her stomach, looked down, and replied softly, "It's been eight months."

Wushi stood up from his seat, came to Tong Wanrou's side, stretched out his hand to touch her belly, stood there for a while, didn't say anything, only sighed.

"Ugh."

Tong Wanrou knew that her mother must be lamenting that she didn't enter the palace again, so she couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and deliberately changed the subject:
"By the way, how are the two younger sisters doing in the palace? Did you go to see the palace last year?"

Although she knew that Tong Jiao and Tong Mei had been demoted to be officials because of being implicated by Concubine Qi, Tong Wanrou felt that she should give her condolences.

"They?" Wu's tone was a bit disdainful, he shook his head, and said, "The ones who are concubines are the ones who are concubines, no matter how high you lift them up, they will not be able to fly to the sky, and they will even bring trouble to the family. Hmph, I should have known it was this Such a result, they should not have been sent to the palace in the first place."

Tong Wanrou saw that the hair on Wushi's temples was turning gray, she couldn't help but she couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "The two younger sisters are just young and ignorant, maybe there will be opportunities in the future."

Wu Zhi seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with them, and Dang even retorted: "Opportunity? Huh, where is there any chance? From a good nobleman to an official woman, before they entered the palace, what did they promise to say to me?" , they sisters are of the same heart, and within three years the emperor will definitely make them noble concubines... What have they become now? Official daughters... The daughter of the Tong family has entered the palace and become an official daughter! It will make people laugh!"

Tong Wanrou didn't know how to answer Wu Zhi's words, so she picked up the teacup on the side and drank a couple of sips, only to hear Wu Zhi turned the finger on her again and said:
"If you were able to enter the palace back then, how could the Tong family have faced such a situation? How could Fucha Minglan have taken advantage of it?"

Tong Wanrou heard that Wu Zhi's words became more and more unreliable, so she asked the two servant girls beside her to guard her, and then she stood up with a straight stomach, and said to Wu Zhi:
"Er Niang, can you just stop talking about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet? I didn't catch up with the draft. In your eyes, it may be that my fate is not good. I don't have the fate of being a concubine. Just look at what happened to the women of our Tong family who entered the palace. I don't talk about Tong Jiao and Tong Mei, but my own sister. Do you know what kind of life she is living in the palace now? You know What is the attitude of the people in the palace towards the concubine who has fallen out of favor? The clothes on my sister's body are still the ones she wore when she entered the palace. The summer is hot and the winter is very cold, and the concubine who is not favored lives in the palace. It's very desolate, let alone a little-known concubine of the first emperor."

It was the first time for Wu Shi to hear Tong Wanrou say this, and he was stunned on the spot, silent for a long time.

Tong Wanrou said again: "Tong Jiao Tong Mei, you let them enter the palace not to praise them, but to harm them. They are only twenty-eight years old now, but they don't know when they will be official girls, maybe they will be like this for a lifetime. Palace There is never a lack of beauty here, but beauty can't survive the years. Fu Heng's sister has enough means and resourcefulness, and her character is also very valuable. She deserves her position today, and no one can deny her His achievements and wisdom, at least, cannot stand before me."

Wu Zhi's face was a little uneasy: "You are a stinking girl who always speaks for others. I'm going to be mad at you to death."

Tong Wanrou sighed deeply, and decided not to discuss this topic with Wu Zhi, otherwise, it would definitely end in a quarrel. After so many years, Wu Zhi can only talk about it verbally, and the essence is no longer Might as well change something.

Although Tong Wanrou was angry at her obsession, she didn't want to have a total falling out with her biological mother, so she changed the subject and asked:

"Emiang came here today, why?"

Wushi snorted coldly: "I originally wanted you to tell Concubine Xian to find someone from Tong's family to take your place in the palace to serve her, but now that you have said this, I also know that you must be busy with this." I won't help anymore."

Tong Wanrou sighed and shook her head: "Emiang, when will you stop doing these things. No matter how many daughters the Tong family has, they won't be able to withstand your tossing. It's just a coincidence that the first emperor looked at Ama differently when my sister entered the palace. , becoming a concubine in the palace is not necessarily related to Ama's official career. If Ama really wants to be appreciated by the emperor, he can work hard in his official position. Why does he have to send his daughter to the palace? The chances of winning are not high What about the risk? Today’s sage, Wencheng Wude, is not a monarch who is greedy for beauty, no matter how much you send, it will be in vain, why bother?”

Wushi looked at Tong Wanrou without saying a word for a long time, Tong Wanrou stood up from the chair, hugged her stomach, walked over and held Wushi's hand, and said:

"Emiang, is it true that my daughter's happy life outside the palace is better than being a canary in the palace?"

Wushi's lips trembled a little, but he didn't speak.When the mother and daughter were looking at each other, Li Shi came in from the outside. She was wearing a gorgeous dress, and her exquisite makeup made her look less gentle and more imposing. Standing with Wu Zhi, she was effortless So he pushed down the sad-looking Wushi.

Wushi quickly let go of Tong Wanrou's hand, and stood aside, while Tong Wanrou looked at Li Shi with a normal expression.

"Wanrou is tired. Why don't you go and have a rest first, I have someone stew white fungus for you, go and eat some."

Tong Wanrou glanced at Wu Shi again, then nodded to Li Shi, and said, "Okay, that mother and Er Niang, you can talk slowly, I will take my leave first."

Seeing that Tong Wanrou left first, Wu Shi wanted to call her back, but was blocked by Li Shi, and smiled at Wu Shi:

"It's the first time for my mother-in-law to come here, so let's have a good chat."

"..."
