from widow to dame

Chapter 106

Four or five days later, Mrs. Zhu came to visit with a lot of gifts.Today, she was wearing a raven blue jacket and a gray sarong skirt. Her hair was meticulously pulled back and tied into a bun with a bare white jade hairpin pinned to it.She had already got Su Huiniang's permission, and knew that the other party was willing to help her son-in-law, so she came here today to express her gratitude.But she has a simple personality and is not very good at talking. Even if she is grateful in her heart, she can't express it clearly.In the end, they were all sweating.

Seeing Su Huiniang, she immediately asked Mu Xiang to carry the fat girl out for emergency treatment.The sweet-smelling milk doll really attracts the attention and love of the women the most. Zhu's complexion softly touched the baby's tender face, and said sincerely: "The last time I met you at the Hou's mansion, it was just a package. The dolls in the movie are all grown up now."

Su Huiniang laughed and said: "This girl is a snack, and she has grown fat on her body!"

"It's a blessing that the child can eat!" Mrs. Zhu obviously disagreed: "My brother Chun is worried about others, and it's difficult when it's time to eat."

Yan Hongchun is the youngest son of the Zhu family. The so-called old clam begets pearls, which is naturally a precious thing, but I heard that the child's body has not been very healthy since birth, and he always suffered from minor illnesses from time to time.Speaking of Yan Hongchun, I have to mention the Qi family. When she saw that Yan Hongzhen "couldn't be counted on", she didn't want the big house to inherit the title, so she thought of adopting Yan Hongchun to her knees. At first, she thought that Mrs. Zhu would definitely agree to it with such a title as a title. However, she never expected that the always honest and obedient second wife would flatly reject her. This completely offended Mrs. Qi. Of course, because of this, Erfang's situation became more and more difficult in Yongping Houfu.

The fat girl sat on the bed and kept trying to run into her mother's arms, but the wicked mother didn't intend to reach out to hug her. She just opened her innocent eyes and looked at the girl who was in a hurry.Seeing the little white jade-like doll, Zhu Shi on the side held her small mouth and showed a weeping expression. Her heart had already melted into a lump of water. She raised her sleeve and took out something from it, but it was a flawless white jade. Toad pendant: "Don't cry, my darling, my aunt will give you something fun..." Then she put the pendant with the gold string around the fat baby's neck.

Sister Yuan was really attracted to her full attention, and she was not in a hurry to find her mother anymore, she grabbed the jade toad with her little hand and fiddled with it over and over again.

"You little heartless little one, Second Aunt gave you something good, and I don't know how to say thank you!" Su Huiniang shook her head helplessly, and then said to Mrs. Zhu, "I thank you for Yuanyuan."

"No! No!" Mrs. Zhu shook her head with her face flushed, and she didn't know what to think of. She suddenly sighed heavily, and said almost in embarrassment: "Daughter-in-law Hongzhen, I'm a stupid person who doesn't know what to say. I will always remember the kindness of pulling you, if sister Zhen and his wife return to Beijing, I will let them come to thank you in person..."

"What's Auntie talking about!" Su Huiniang gently held her hand, smiling kindly and gently.

However, Mrs. Zhu didn't finish her sentence. Seeing her expression, Mrs. Zhu felt even more uncomfortable. As the saying goes, it's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to give charcoal in the snow.For the matter of her son-in-law, she spent so much time with Yu Shi and Qi Shi, and said so many good things, but none of them was willing to lend a hand. What are you expecting, who would have thought that the other party really agreed...

"In the past, we also felt sorry for Hongzhen... I'm here to apologize to you and him..." Zhu's eyes turned red, and she felt more and more uncomfortable.She is a down-to-earth person, but she is not stupid either. Yan Hongzhen was bullied and run-off in the Hou Mansion before, and she always watched her eyes, but she didn't stand up and say a word of justice. It's just pretending to be deaf and dumb, being a fool on the wall, there's no way, who let their second wife have no status in the mansion, they can't screw the Qi family, and they can't do the Yu family, and after all, they are not their own children, so Just let it go indifferently, without thinking about it at all, Yan Hong really calls himself an uncle and aunt.

"Second Aunt's difficulties, Hongzhen and I both understand." Su Huiniang wiped away her tears of shame with a handkerchief: "You are a kind-hearted person."

At least he knows how to be ashamed and grateful. Such a person should be worth paying attention to.

Mrs. Zhu sat with Su Huiniang for most of the day, until it was a quarter before noon, and left.After she left, Su Huiniang and Sister Yuan had lunch, and the stove lady in the kitchen sat down with a plate of lotus cakes, cut into short and long strips, rolled with layers of glutinous rice flour, and made the cakes sweetly in one gulp The fragrant lotus scent filled the entire mouth, and Su Huiniang used three yuan in a row before she stopped her chopsticks.

"You can share the rest!" Su Huiniang said, pointing to more than half of the lotus cake left on the plate.

"Thank you, master, for your reward." Mu Xiang pursed her lips and happily bent down.

When Yan Hongzhen came back in the evening, Su Huiniang mentioned Zhu Shi a little bit, of course, they mainly focused on the words of apology and gratitude from the other party.

"Second aunt is actually not easy..." She said softly, "I heard that Second Uncle was born dumb, and she was bought into Yan's family as a child bride when she was very young..." In this era, child brides are very important. If you have no social status, it means that you were raised by your husband's family. Being a cow and a horse is nothing at all, and even your life is all a matter of a word from your husband's family.

"What did I say?" Yan Hongzhen climbed onto the bed while kicking on his shoes: "I knew you would be fooled by her, and I'll be done with a few apologies?" His nose is not a nose and eyes are not eyes He scoffed loudly: "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world... Let me tell you, there is not a single good cake in Yongping Hou's mansion, they are all gangsters!" Su Huiniang knew that he had resentment in his heart, this time Helping Mrs. Zhu was purely for his own sake, so he stopped talking about it, and quickly changed the subject.

"...I heard that my mother is not going well these days!" Su Huiniang turned her eyes slightly and pursed her lips.Qi's unhappiness was because Yan Hong was really happy. He immediately focused his attention, showing a listening expression.

"Second Aunt said that Sister Lan went back to the Hou's Mansion a few times, and every time she came, she made a lot of noise, and the whole manor clamored to ask Qi to make decisions for her... What she meant was that His Royal Highness seems to be A side concubine was accepted, and that concubine is well-known, and the grandson of the emperor asked His Majesty for it..." Su Huiniang paused slightly, showing a smiley expression: "In this way, isn't it higher than that?" Sister Lan who has no name in the first place? I can't blame her for being so furious."

"Tch!" Yan Hongzhen slammed it twice when he heard it, and then expressed his opinion happily: "My good sister is arrogant, and she wants to find me with all her heart." A father like you must have status, knowledge, and the most important thing is to take good care of your wife, and love her only for the rest of your life... don't even look at your own virtues!" Yan Hongzhen's eyelids fluttered, extremely mean He sarcastically said: "Even if she wants to learn from the Qi family, she must have Yan Haoran who is willing to praise her bad feet."

What's more, Yan Rulan is far from her mother.No matter what the Qi family said, she still pretended to be kind and gentle on the surface, like a harmless little flower, but Yan Rulan didn't even have to put effort on the surface. With her temperament, if she married that ordinary With her background in the Marquis Mansion and her fairy-like beauty, perhaps her husband can tolerate her.It won't work when it comes to Zhu Houwen, will your natal family be able to live up to the royal family in a catastrophe?Israel can't serve people for long, no matter how beautiful your nature is, if you quarrel every day, it will only make men think you are more and more hateful
One is a woman who wants "unchanging love in heaven and earth".

A man who is nothing more than a man who "marries you if you are tempted by your beauty"
Neither party meets the other's expectations, so it is difficult to "harmonize" with each other.

It was rare for Su Huiniang to see him so "happy", and thinking about the calculations that Qi had made against her, she couldn't help but say wickedly: "That's right, she's just a concubine, the concubine hasn't said anything yet, She got into trouble first."

Yan Hongzhen immediately showed a serious expression when he said this, looking full of malice.

"...and the big house, I heard it's quite lively." Su Huiniang couldn't help gloating: "Yan Hongbo lost two big teeth after being slapped by his father. I heard from my second aunt that if it wasn't for Yu Shi I'm really curious to ask for a monk to kill him, but I'm curious, what happened to him?"

"What else? I can figure it out with my toes." Yan Hongzhen snorted and said, "I've seen him commit adultery with two concubines of my uncle before."

Su Huiniang coughed fiercely, almost choking on her own saliva.He murmured incredulously: "No way!"

"The one who can turn the father and son against each other, besides money, is women!" Yan Hongzhen said with a look on his face that you don't know how "disgusting" they are.

"This is really..." Su Huiniang was at a loss for words, and in the end, only two words came out: "Ridiculous!"

In this way, another half a month passed, and when the various famous flowers in the back garden of the Su family gradually withered, and the mother-in-law who was being served was urgently moved into the warm shed, late autumn finally came.
