The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 317 The Four Sisters
"Knowing that my brother is coming back, I have always sent someone to guard, but whenever I get a letter, I will know."

Yuechan sat down, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, but brother is much more stable."

Looking at the three children again, Yuechan called over and hugged them one by one, and took out the gifts she had prepared, each with a suet jade pendant, the two older ones plus a set of four treasures of the study, the younger one Still young, there was an extra gold collar.

After distributing the presents, Yuechan smiled and clapped her hands: "The three in my family are older and have already entered the upper study room to study. If not, they will definitely bring them here today."

Ji Wanrong was a little puzzled: "Chen Yu, a girl, also wants to study?"

Speaking of Chen Yu, Yuechan smiled even more: "That's right, this girl, I don't know what to think, she ran to the emperor and argued that daughters and men are the same, and she took those heroines in history Make a show, you must study with the emperor's grandchildren, and you promise to the emperor that you must be better than them, and the emperor nodded and agreed."

She sighed: "I have nothing to do with this girl, so I have to agree and send her to the study room, not to mention, this girl is really good at studying, not to mention studying, even martial arts, she is better than her brother. "

Pearl also smiled: "That's not the case, the little princess is really good, I like it when I saw it, but you haven't seen it, she looks handsome, her mouth is sweet, no wonder the emperor likes it."

Wan Rong listened with a pensive expression on her face, but Meng Haoyu was happy and said that if she had time, she must take a good look at her nieces and nieces.

While talking, Meng Zhiwen came back, greeted each other again, sat down and talked with the family for a while, and Pearl went out to inform the kitchen to prepare the meal.

The food was placed in the hall, divided into two tables, Meng Zhiwen and Meng Haoyu were at the same table, Wanrong, Pearl, Yuechan and a few children were at the same table, because Meng Haoyu had been away for many years, and when he came back suddenly, the entire Meng family was filled with joy. The dishes are also very rich.

It's not like the usual few dishes and one soup, but it's a full table with only a few masters, which is indeed a bit wasteful.

Meng Haoyu first lamented that it was too extravagant, but he still ate it with big mouthfuls. He only said that the food at home was really good. He had never eaten such delicious food in his tenure.

After listening to this, Wanrong also sighed, talking about the customs there, and the food taste of the local people, it was indeed different from Chang'an, no wonder the couple couldn't get used to it for so many years.

After talking for a while, Meng Zhiwen put down his chopsticks, seeing that Meng Haoyu had almost eaten, he got up and took him to the study room for a conversation. After hearing the news, Zhuzhu and Yuejuan listened, and sighed for a long time that they had never even been out of Chang'an City, and they really had never seen the world.

While talking, Wanrong asked people to take out the shells and conchs that they had just picked up in the sea for Yuejuan and Yuechan to play with, and prepared another copy for Chen Yu, saying that she, as an aunt, would make them for her. Come to play.

There are also pen holders made of shells, small decorations made of coral, and some small objects carved from tree roots, all of which look very wild.

Yuejuan was greedy at the side, pestering Wanrong to bring out some more to play with.

Pearl watched from the side, and saw that Yuejuan and Wanrong had a good relationship, so she was relieved, thinking that Yuejuan could be regarded as Wanrong grew up watching, although she hadn't seen each other for so many years, she still had feelings after all, that is, Yuejuan In terms of her marriage, Wanrong will definitely not lose.

Here the mothers are talking, the whole room is full of laughter, and there, the little girl outside the door reports back, only saying that the second and third aunts in the mansion are here.

A few people were startled, thinking that Yue'e and Yueting had returned.

Pearl curled her lips: "They still have the face to come back."

Wanrong was surprised: "How do you say that? Although they and Ye are brothers and sisters of the next mother, they are the daughters of the Meng family. Why..."

Wanrong has been out for a few years, and the affairs in the house are not very clear. She knows that Pearl and Liu Mei are not on good terms, and she also has opinions on Yue'e and Yueting. He just said it so openly.

Yuechan knew what was going on, so she pulled Wanrong: "Sister-in-law, don't talk about Auntie, I can't blame Auntie for being unhappy about this matter, and I don't want to see them if I put it on anyone."

While talking, Yuechan and Wanrong talked about the reason.

It turned out that Yue'e's situation in the prince's mansion was not easy. Her son passed away, and only one daughter was left. She was also suffering from all kinds of disasters. Impatient.

The prince has never been in love, there are many beauties in that mansion, Yue'e is not too outstanding, so there is nothing special about her.

What's more, later on, the crown prince fell in love with those actors and the like, and got a lot of enchanting young ladies in the prince's mansion, so he lost interest in women even more.

Yue'e got hurt again, she didn't have a baby anymore, she only guarded one daughter, and her life became more and more difficult. Fortunately, she still had those things given by the old lady, and the generous dowry Liu Bei prepared for her. people's hearts.

But only going out but not going in, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it’s not enough. Other women with status in the Prince’s Mansion also rely on their mother’s subsidies to live well. Yue’e’s here, like Liu Mei, and the Meng family is headed by pearls. Ken subsidized her, and when she used up all the money, she began to think about the affairs of the Meng family.

Coincidentally, Yueting's life in Fu's house was not good. Yue'e looked at her once and saw that she was alone, her husband was tired of her, and her mother-in-law didn't want to see her. He said that he and Yueting were of one mind and found a way out.

Yueting has big hands and feet, and the money she brought to Fu's house was almost spent. Although she was angry that Yue'e didn't see her during her confinement, but after all, she was close to her sisters, and she had sympathy for her fellow sufferers, so she agreed.

The two sisters discussed it and felt that the reason why they were not doing well was because their natal families had no backing.

Other families have the support of father and brother, but in their family, the elder brother can't come back outside, and the father has always been a caring person. He can only rely on the mother for support, but the mother can't get out in the family temple, and Pearl doesn't deal with them. If things go on like this, it won't work. of.

Helpless, the two sisters went back to their natal family as companions, and complained to Meng Zhiwen about Pearl's fault. They just said that the Meng family married them off and didn't care. No one asked whether the sisters were dead or alive, so what else could they say? Pearl is ignorant, she just flatters Yuechan, ignores them, and never gives them money or anything like that.

The outspoken pearl almost fell over. If a married girl goes back to her natal home to ask for money, her natal family is willing to subsidize the water splashed by her married daughter. You don't want to either.

However, Pearl was a concubine, so naturally she couldn't quarrel with the two decent aunts, she had to bear it.

Coincidentally, Yuejuan heard that the two older sisters were coming, so she brought her girls over to see her. Hearing these unclear words, she felt angry. Her mother was half slave and half master, but she was the daughter of the Meng family. , Naturally speaking with some face, I couldn't get angry for a while, so I argued a few words for Pearl.

In the end, Yue'e took the conversation and only said that Yuejuan was a concubine, how could she eat and dress better than their concubine daughters, and said that Pearl had no etiquette and didn't know the rules, and pointed at Yuejuan and cursed.

It's all right for Yue'e, she speaks in a measured way, the key is Yueting, she has a bad temper, she can say anything, the scolding Yuejuan's words are extremely ugly, and Yuejuan is shameless, so for a while I was so ashamed and angry that I almost bumped into the wall.

Since then, Pearl and Sister Yue'e's Liangzi has also been settled, and the two sides have become incompatible.

That's fine, the two sisters are still arguing to let Meng Zhiwen let Liu Mei out, they only say that Liu Mei is a serious housewife, and she can't let her aunt be beautiful and her former wife, in which case the decent wife doesn't care about housework and let her aunt decide Yes, he almost pointed at Meng Zhiwen's nose and said that he doted on his concubine and killed his wife.

The angry Meng Zhiwen fell ill, but there was nothing he could do. This was his daughter, and she was married.

Liu Mei was not released, and Yue'e and Yueting had no money to improve their lives. The two sisters went all out to make trouble. The Meng family couldn't live in peace, Zhu Zhen wanted to refuse these two people outright, but, for the sake of face and the reputation of the Meng family in Chang'an City, not only could she not refuse, but she had to entertain them well every time she came, Zhen Zhen felt extremely aggrieved of.

After Yuechan finished speaking, Wanrong was shocked: "Why is it like this?"

She bowed her head: "The two aunts are too different. If you want to be like this, you won't make trouble with your aunt in the future, and don't make trouble with me, who is a sister-in-law. If I don't allow it, they will tear their faces and start a fight. My face... ..."

Yuechan sighed, and while sending people to invite Yue'e and Yueting, she comforted Wanrong: "Sister-in-law is right to treat them as if they were both. When you come, you will be treated to delicious food and drinks. If you want money, just give less." , you can’t let them talk about you outside.”

While talking, Yuechan lowered her head and thought to herself, if Ah Jiu was not in the mansion, she had been taking care of the affairs of the palace these past few years, and she would go out as a guest in a glamorous way, maintain the contacts of the Jiuwang Mansion, and protect the safety of the three children , In addition, from time to time, I find some new things to bring into the palace, to please the emperor, so that people can't forget how many of their mothers are, there is really no spare manpower, if not, how can the two of Yue'e be so rampant.

After a while, Yue'e and Yueting came in through the curtain.

Wanrong raised her eyes to look, and was stunned for a moment.

When she entered the door, what did these two sisters-in-law look like? At that time, they were both beautiful and well-dressed. Both of them were extremely proud and extremely beautifully dressed, but now...

I saw Yue'e wearing a silver-red half-worn shirt, embroidered with half-opened lotus flowers on it, a moon-white floral skirt underneath, a wishful bun on her head, and only a few golden hairpins inserted, her neck and wrists There is not even a piece of jewelry on it.

Looking at his face again, he was extremely tired, and when he looked carefully, there were small fine lines at the corners of his eyes and mouth.

Yue'e is like this, and Yueting is even worse. She is wearing a light green floral shirt, which is also half old and not new. She is tied with a water red skirt. She only wears a jasper hairpin and a few velvet flowers on her head. A silk-wrapped silver bracelet on her wrist, and nothing else.

Yue Ting's face is thin and sallow, her big eyes are dazed and angry, and her lips have lost their previous luster, looking dry and pale. She is not a big woman in her 20s, she is simply Like a woman from a poor family outside.

Look at Yuechan's attire again, not to mention the clothes, but only the well-maintained and supple face, and the noble demeanor of the whole body, it is not comparable to others, if life is not good, how can it be like this.

Yuejuan, who was sitting next to Yuechan, was also well-dressed and had an unusually beautiful face. The four sisters were simply incomparable.
