Madam Hou

Chapter 114

Qing Hua and Cai Zhu had been guarding outside the door just now, so they naturally knew what happened in the bathroom just now, when they came in at this moment, they both blushed a little.No matter how much Yin Niang pretended not to care, she couldn't hide her blushing face.

After all, it is still in the filial piety period, it is not good for people to know, so Qinghua and Caizhu didn't let other little maids in, but came in to serve by themselves.

After the two packed up, they went to the front yard together.

Although you can't have a banquet to celebrate, it's okay to have a meal with your own people.When Yin Niang and Lin Fengqi arrived, everyone in the family was already waiting in front.

The eldest wife is coming, but Lin Fengxuan and the new fourth wife Luo Shi have come.

Luo Shi entered the door in June. He is the same age as Lin Fengxuan, and he is eighteen this year.She is the legitimate daughter of Lord Luo, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, but she is not so genuine, she is just a named legitimate daughter.

Luo Shi is the third in the family. There is a sister-in-law and a sister-in-law above him, both of whom are married, and there is another sister-in-law below him.The first and fourth prostitutes were born to Mrs. Luo, the second concubine was born to a concubine, and Luo Shi was born to a noble concubine of Mr. Luo.Luo Shi's biological mother was Lord Luo's cousin, and the cousin lived in her cousin's house, and she had a relationship with her cousin. When Mrs. Luo came in, Master Luo couldn't wait to accept her cousin as a concubine.

The cousin has two skills. She not only gave birth to the eldest son before Mrs. Luo, but then gave birth to the daughter Luo Shi.Mrs. Luo is very "virtuous and virtuous". Not only is she not jealous or jealous of her cousin, a concubine who is more favored by her husband than she is, she also takes care of her like her own sister.His wife and concubines were in harmony, which made Mr. Luo very proud for a while.After the cousin gave birth to Luo Shi, her health was not good, and Mrs. Luo served her with good soup, water and medicinal materials, which was more dedicated than serving her own mother.The cousin died in the end, and Mrs. Luo cried even more sadly than Master Luo. Holding the coffin and crying, she said, "It's better to go with my sister!"

After the cousin died, Mrs. Luo took care of the cousin's two children under her own name. The son was taken care of to be smart, and the daughter was taken care of to be gentle and virtuous.Later, when the son was six years old, because he was too smart, he tricked the boy around him and went to the backyard to play by himself, but he stumbled and fell into the well and drowned.This time, Mrs. Luo was so sad that she fell ill and didn't get up for a month.Mrs. Luo, who originally blamed Mrs. Luo for not taking good care of her eldest son and causing his son's tragic death, couldn't bear to blame him anymore.

After Mrs. Luo recovered from her illness, she loved the only daughter left by her cousin even more like a treasure, and even her own children were left behind, which made Master Luo moved again and again.Of course, Master Luo also loves the only flesh and blood left by his cousin.Therefore, under the care of Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Luo, Luo Shi grew up very healthy until he reached Jiji.

Luo Shi and Mrs. Luo's biological second daughter are one year apart.At that time, Mrs. Yang Chengbo and Mrs. Da Tai were asking to marry a daughter of the Luo family. Mrs. Yang Cheng was acting for her eldest son, and Mrs. Da Tai was naturally replacing Lin Fengxuan.One is the eldest son of the Shu family and the other is the eldest son of the Hou family. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell which is good and which is bad.Mrs. Luo said to her husband: "The third sister is my sister's only flesh and blood, and I have always loved him like a jewel, and the third sister is the elder, and the fourth sister is the youngest. The younger sister should let the older sister. I think it would be better for the third sister to marry into the Marquis of Yongning, and the fourth sister to marry the young master of the Yangcheng uncle's mansion."

Master Luo was once again very moved.Of course, Mrs. Uncle Yang, who had nothing to do, recorded the eldest son of the concubine in her name and asked her to be named the eldest son. The eldest son of the concubine became a Jinshi in Chunwei a few months later, but this is a later story.

Later, Master Luo also doubted Mrs. Luo's intentions, but Mrs. Luo cried and said wronged: "When Mrs. Yang Chengbo proposed to marry me, she never told me that her eldest son would be invited to be crowned son, and I couldn't predict it in advance. He won the Jinshi, and I wanted to make a good marriage for the third sister with good intentions. Even my own daughter is behind, but I don't want the master to doubt me like this. I have been a husband and a child, and helped the master take care of the backyard for more than ten years. I dare not claim meritorious service, but I did my best, but I didn't expect to be treated like this by the master, I might as well ask myself to go to court."

Master Luo thought of the deep love between Mrs. Luo and his cousins ​​and sisters, and devoted himself to his third daughter. He also felt that he had misunderstood Mrs. Luo, so he quickly apologized and confessed to Mrs. Luo.Mrs. Luo went down the donkey, and soon reconciled with Mr. Luo as before.

After the two reconciled, Mrs. Luo said again: "Although I am willing to find a good marriage for the third sister, but by accident, the fourth sister got a better marriage. Fortunately, the two have not yet left the cabinet. Why don't I talk to Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Yang Chengbo, and then exchange the marriage of the two sisters?"

Although Master Luo loves his own daughter and his cousin's daughter more, he also loves his fourth daughter. It would be fine if he talked about kissing at first, but now that the three letters and six rituals have gone halfway, let the fourth daughter exchange the marriage with the third daughter. He can't do it.Besides, it is not a good reputation for sisters to marry easily. If the censor joins a book, it will hinder his official career.Lord Luo would naturally not agree to Mrs. Luo's proposal.

The Da Tai Madam originally wanted to marry Madam Luo's own daughter, and the servant of the Ministry of Rituals was a third-rank official, and her daughter would be considered a good match for the son of the Marquis Mansion, but how could Madam Luo want to.Lin Fengxuan said that she is the son of the Hou family, but her own father is gone, and the title of the Hou family is not inherited by him. She has no fame yet, and it will be nothing if the family is separated in the future. How could she be willing to marry her daughter.But she is willing to be that cheap registered first daughter, and Mrs. Lin Datai, do you want it or not?

The Da Tai Madam wanted to wave her hand and leave, but she knew how difficult Lin Feng's marriage was.Because of this son's marriage, she has encountered many obstacles.I can’t do it later, the registered daughter is the registered daughter, she is still a famous daughter, and Lord Luo loves this daughter very much, and the servant of the Ministry of Rites is also in charge of the imperial examination. some help.She was really afraid that if she missed this marriage, she would not be able to find a better one in the future.

The marriage between Lin Fengxuan and Luo Shi was originally decided at the beginning of last year. It was originally agreed to enter the house in June, but because of the death of Old Master Lin, Lin Fengxuan, as a nephew, had to obey the one-year filial piety period, so the marriage was decided. delayed.

In May, Lin Fengxuan left her filial piety.At that time, the news of the Great Victory in the South came, and it was said that Mrs. Da Tai had a minor illness because of her natal brother's injury.Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Fengzhen took off her filial piety, the wife's illness would be cured immediately, and then she would discuss her son's marriage.

Mrs. Lin Tai disagrees with Lin Fengxuan getting married at this time.Although Lin Fengxuan has already taken off his filial piety, other people in the mansion are still keeping their filial piety. What do you mean by talking about getting married now!Just like when the grandparents pass away, although the grandchildren have finished observing the filial piety, the parents are still observing the filial piety. It is the same reason that ordinary people generally do not marry their grandchildren at this time.And Mrs. Lin has another worry. If Lin Fengxuan gets married at this time, it is very likely that Lin Fengqi will give birth to her eldest son earlier than Lin Fengqi.Although her son is already Lord Marquis and has a stable position, it has become a habit to compete with Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin is very unwilling to let Lin Fengxuan give birth to the eldest son before her own son.

Mrs. Lin refused because she was still in filial piety in the mansion and could not hold weddings, but Mrs. Lin said that Lin Fengxuan had already passed the filial piety. Doesn’t the Hou’s mansion still have a house in Huaishu Hutong, and let him get married there first, and then move back after getting married? Hou Fu came to live.

Mrs. Lin also refused because Lin Fengshan, the elder brother, was not married yet, and Lin Fengshan, the younger brother, was not good at getting married first.The eldest wife also said that the first and third families had separated long ago, so it didn't matter.And our first house only has Brother Hu, an only seedling, unlike your third house who has three sons, so naturally we are not afraid of the issue of incense.I have to let Brother Hu get married as soon as possible, so that I can give birth to a child and inherit the incense, so that I can explain to your elder brother.

Since you said that it is not important to separate the family, then we might as well divide the house, and then you can do whatever you want in this room.Mrs. Lin wanted to take the opportunity to separate Mrs. Da Tai, so that she would not obstruct her eyes in the Hou's mansion, or cause something to happen.

In the end, Mrs. Da Tai stood up and angrily reprimanded Mrs. Lin, saying: "Mrs. Tian, ​​what did mother say when she was dying, that the two households should be separated from each other, but since the third household won the title from the eldest household, you should remember to take care of the eldest household. As a result, my mother has only been away for a few years, and you can't wait to drive our orphans and widowed mothers out of the house. Let me tell you, although I have no man, my mother has gone too, but my elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and I will take responsibility on my mother's behalf. I still have the right to reprimand you for being unkind and unfilial."

Mrs. Da Tai left Fushouyuan after she finished speaking, and Mrs. Lin was so angry that she threw three cups in a row.Mrs. Lin scolded Mrs. Da Tai for being shameless and staying in the Hou's mansion. On the other hand, she blamed her mother-in-law for being too biased. She is also her own son, but her heart is so biased.

But no matter what, Roche got in the door in June.

It was the first time for Luo Shi to see Lin Fengqi, and now he was following behind Lin Fengqi, coming to greet Lin Fengqi, the elder brother.Lin Fengqi casually took out a suet jade plaque from his body, handed it to Luo Shi, and said: "There is nothing good, this is for you, it is considered a wedding present."

Luo Shi looked at her husband, and saw Lin Fengxuan nodded slightly, and finally got the jade medal, thanking Lin Fengqi.

He Shi who was next to Lin Fengqi saw Yinniang next to Lin Fengqi, and saw her charming eyes, although she deliberately covered it with thick makeup, but after a closer look, it can still be seen that she has just been exposed to rain and dew.He scolded her for being lewd in his heart, for doing such a thing during the filial period.On the other side, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Ever since Old Master Lin passed away, Lin Fengye used the excuse of being filial and never slept with her again. Seeing Yinniang like this now, no matter how she looked at it, she felt it was an eyesore.

He rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and laughed loudly: "Sister-in-law has been waiting for elder brother to wash and wash for a long time, and the dishes are getting cold after we wait?" That ambiguous tone made people want to slap him .

Yin Niang directly ignored her, while Madam Lin and Lin Fengye gave her a unanimous glance.

Mrs. Lin Tai said slowly: "It seems that the rules of the second daughter-in-law are still not learned well. I think starting from tomorrow, you can come to serve in my yard again, and I can 'teach and teach' you, so that you will not be ashamed outside in the future. ruined the reputation of the Hou Mansion."

Mrs. He shrank a little, and looked at Mrs. Lin Tai with some fear.She had tasted Mrs. Lin's "teaching", and she felt that life would be worse than death, and she couldn't help regretting that she shouldn't have acted out of force just now.He turned her head and looked at her husband, wanting him to say something nice for her, but Lin Fengye not only ignored her plea for help, but looked at her with some reproach.

He couldn't help feeling bitter, obviously she was his wife, yet he always helped outsiders.
