The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 9 Aunt Xin

In a small courtyard not far from the main house where the old lady lived, there were a few maids standing in the courtyard, all of them standing in silence, not daring to speak, let alone look around.

And in the not-so-spacious north house, Liu Mei sat on the slum and looked at Yue'e and Yueting coldly: "You two are really nice, you are very happy to go out and play, aren't you?"

Yue'e didn't speak, but Yueting's eyes were full of disdain: "Mother, you always let us learn this and that, you're almost exhausting us, why don't you just play for a day, what's the matter, see how sister Yuechan doesn't play every day?" Why don't you talk about her? Besides, we are Miss Meng's family, okay? No one in Chang'an city knows about our Meng family. Hmph, we still need to learn how to cook and knit, what's the matter? Why, we won't marry into a poor family in the future, so we will naturally have maids to serve us, so why not have maids and mothers..."

Hearing Yue Ting's words, Liu Mei trembled with anger. She never expected that she would give birth to such a brainless daughter. Although Liu Mei was not the daughter of the Liu family, even though her mother died early, she was often attacked by her mother. However, with a shrewd mind, he found a way out for himself. After arriving at the Meng family, he was careful every step of the way. He worked hard to win the favor of the master and the old lady. It's very beautiful.

Who knew that for a shrewd person like her, and her daughter being so ineffective, Liu Mei slammed the table and said, "You can compare with Yuechan. Yuechan crawled out of the wife's stomach, so you can do whatever you want!" , I have an old lady to make decisions for her, can you do it?"

These words are a bit exaggerated. Obviously, Liu Mei is trying to provoke the relationship between the two daughters and Yuechan, but that's all she can say.

Do you want her to tell her daughter in a fair and honest way that Mother is doing it for you, and Mother is deliberately letting Yuechan play with her so that she can cultivate her ignorance of worldly affairs, and when she gets married in the future, she will be rejected by her husband's family, what's more, He will be framed, divorced by his husband and so on.

Although Liu Mei herself is not upright, the more she is like this, the more she doesn't want her daughter to know her dark side, and she doesn't want to plant her vicious seeds in her daughter's heart.

"What's the difference?" At this time, Yue'e, who had always been calm, also began to refute: "It's true that Yuechan crawled out of my wife's stomach, but mother, you will be righted soon, and we are also the first daughters of the Meng family. , why is Yuechan always overwhelmed, it doesn’t matter if Dad is facing her, and the old lady loves her, no matter where she put us, mother didn’t see her today, Yuechan’s cakes are better than us. "

Speaking of this, Yue Ting's small face also wrinkled together: "What my sister said is that Yue Chan obviously looks down on people. When we came back, she specially asked people to pack pastries and bring them back for us. Isn't this in the past?" Tell others that her cakes are good, can we afford them, who are they!"

Poor Yuechan's kindness was actually misunderstood by Yueting, who wanted Yuechan to know that Yueting missed her so much, she probably wouldn't even feed the cake to the dogs.

Hearing this, Liu Mei's face became vicious, she clenched her right hand tightly, and said in her heart: "Su Yurong, it's fine if you put me on the head, you are dead, and I let you stay The bastard oppresses my daughter, let's wait and see, we don't know what will happen in the future, hum, Yuechan, don't blame me for being cruel..."

After thinking for a while, Liu Mei pulled Yue'e and Yueting to her side, lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Don't say this again, be careful that people will hear the trouble again, the old lady is partial to Yuechan, is that right?" You don’t know how to do it yet. The old lady suspected that her mother would neglect Yuechan after she got her right, so she specially promoted the pearls in her room to be your father’s concubine. She will serve her wine soon, and said If Zhenzhu has a child, she will be raised as an aunt."

"What?" Yue'e and Yueting were startled. Yue'e looked at Liu Mei for a while, thinking, no wonder mother is so angry today, it turns out that father is going to take a concubine, mother may feel uncomfortable .

Yue Ting was even more frightened, she clenched her fist and said: "How can the old lady do this? My mother is very filial to her, and she is about to straighten her up. What's the point of bringing a concubine at this time? Isn't this beating my mother?" face?"

Although Yue'e and Yueting are dissatisfied with some of Liu Mei's actions, mother and daughter are mother and daughter, and they also understand in their hearts that they can live well in this house only if Liu Mei can sit firmly in the position of head mother. If they are defeated, they don't want to have a good time.

Liu Mei wiped away her tears again: "She is an old lady, there is nothing you can do about it, your father is a dutiful son, and has always listened to the old lady, the old lady said so, this concubine must be accepted, mother It's not good!"

While talking, Liu Mei wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and pulled Yue'e over: "You are an older sister, and you are always safer, and my mother can rest assured. In addition to learning things these days, you must make the old lady happy. , and also, don't be awkward with Yuechan, hold her up."

Yue'e nodded, pondered for a while, and felt that Liu Mei's words were correct. At this juncture, their mother and daughter must not feel resentful, otherwise the old lady would see it, and it would definitely not be as simple as taking concubines Well, maybe, Liu Mei's headed mistress and their titles as prostitutes will also run away.

Yue Ting lowered her head, her face full of indignation, why did Yue Chan get favored by doing nothing, why did they have to learn so much, watch Yue Chan's face carefully, and even flatter Yue Chan, isn't she Girl, in the future she will also become a prostitute, so she must make Yuechan look good.

The mother and daughter each had their own thoughts, while complaining about the unfairness of the old lady, resenting Yuechan's position as the first daughter, and also jealous of the pearl who was about to be promoted.

They resent pearls here, but they don't know that pearls don't feel good there.

The girl on the sweeper in Yuechan's house was not very old, because she had a son who entered the mansion when she was six years old, and she and Pearl entered the mansion together, because the girl named Huan'er was honest and honest by nature, and she was older than her. Pearls can also play together.

Huan'er took the copper coins rewarded by Yuechan, put them in her small pocket, and happily went to find the pearls. Along the way, she thought about dividing the money into two parts, keeping one part to subsidize the family, and one part to subsidize the family. Give it to Zhenzhu, Zhuzhu is getting old, and it seems that she should find her in-law's family. Let Zhenzhu save more money to buy some marriage fat and gouache to dress up, so that she can find a good in-law's family.

Huan'er's idea is very upright. She and Pearl are both self-respecting and upright people. They never thought of clinging to power like Aunt Liu in the mansion, nor did they want to stay in the mansion as a concubine or housekeeper. The two of them often talked together, saying that if they want to marry, they have to find a family outside, and they would rather marry into an ordinary family and be a regular wife than become a concubine to a wealthy family.

Walking all the way, Huan'er quickly found Pearl's residence, and saw a few girls coming out of Pearl's house with disgruntled faces. After coming out, a little girl spat: "What kind of pie, huh, you don't want to, There are too many people who are willing, but they are just slaves, and I really think I am Miss Qianjin."

Huan'er was taken aback for a moment, wondering if Pearl had offended someone?

Ignoring others, Huan'er entered the room by herself, and saw Pearl sitting on a bed against the wall, her eyes were red from crying.

"Sister Pearl..." Huan'er was taken aback, and hurried over: "What's wrong with you? Have you been bullied?"

Seeing Huan'er, Pearl suddenly cried louder, and as soon as she held Zhu'er in her arms, she kept crying: "Huan'er, my life is so miserable, I'm about to die, but Falling directly into the fire pit, this..."

"What's going on?" Huan'er was so anxious by Pearl's crying, she pushed her away and carefully wiped her tears, and coaxed her softly: "Sister Pearl, don't worry about me, if you have anything to say, let's discuss it." discuss."

"What are you talking about!" Pearl sat down on the bed: "Everyone is black-hearted, wishing to push me into the fire pit, I can see through it, what kind of parents and sisters, for money, for the glory of the face , wishing to kill me."

Huan'er was even more surprised. Hearing Pearl's words, it seemed that she had quarreled with her family. In this case, she really couldn't persuade her. It was a family matter, so what could she say as an outsider.

Pearl scolded for a while, then spit towards the outside, and continued to scold: "Every gossip woman, what is there to congratulate, but she is still a slave, who came to me to annoy people, I really want to take a The pokers wrung out their tongues."

Hearing that Zhuzhu scolded her more and more, she didn't look like her anymore, Huan'er had no choice but to say anxiously: "My good sister, stop talking, you are not afraid of offending people, which one of those people is easy to get along with, if you continue to scold, I'm afraid they'll team up to bully you, as far as I'm concerned, everything is negotiable."

"What are you talking about!" Pearl felt a little better after scolding, but stopped crying: "Huan'er, my life is over, you have to be good, my family and relatives can't count on you, so I can only count on you , if you can leave the government in the future, if something happens to me, I can go to you."

This is really true, Huan'er didn't know what to say, so she stomped her feet anxiously: "You are talking, I don't even know what's going on!"

"What else!" Pearl said with a sad face, "It's all caused by my face. The old lady said that I was born well, and I have a pair of skillful hands. She is afraid that others will serve the master improperly, and say that I am a safe person." People, you want to raise me to be the master's concubine."

This... Huan'er was taken aback, she didn't know there was such a thing, and she looked at the pearls carefully, and it was true that the pearls grew well, and they were considered top-notch among girls.

Look at Pearl's melon-seeded face. Although the eyebrows are not very thin, they are well-shaped, and there is a bit of heroism between the eyebrows and eyes. In addition to the upturned corners of the mouth, she has a plumper figure than other girls. With a look of happiness, no wonder the old lady took a fancy to her.

Thinking about Zhuzhu's embroidery work, Huan'er has calmed down a bit. Zhuzhu is excellent, and it is reasonable for the old lady to promote her as an aunt.

"Then, you agreed?" Huan'er asked in a low voice, "You don't... like that Wang Xiucai who writes letters for others in Beishi..."

Before the words were finished, Huan'er was slammed by Pearl and said: "Stop talking, if you talk about letting people live, I don't care, anyway, this is the way it is in this life, Wang Gongzi is very Pure name, I... don't want to burden her."

When Huan'er fell silent, Pearl bowed her head: "I am the servant of this family, what can I do, my parents and sister are all happy like something, wishing that I would go to the master's bed right away, they don't even think about it, How can there be such a simple thing in this mansion, let's talk about Aunt Liu first, she is easy to get along with, and I am not very successful, so I don't know what will happen in the future."

Pearl's words were also right, Huan'er was terrified when she heard it, and she said in her heart, fortunately, she is not very outstanding, and her parents and elder brother are honest people, and they would not do such a thing of selling girls for glory. otherwise……

Here Pearl and Huan'er were talking about their thoughts, another girl in a long green dress entered the door, she sneered as soon as she entered, "Congratulations to Aunt Xin..."
