Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 57 Bagua and Youyang

in the morning.

Sishi (around ten o'clock).

The street where the Yu family is located is full of cars and sedans.

Mr. Yu Ge has been an official for decades. Although he will not be able to enjoy the Ancestral Temple like Mr. Wang, he still has many disciples.

Colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty, such as the Kang family, Shen family, Lu family, Wang family and other family friends, all had their wives and daughters-in-law come to express their condolences.

All the famous noble families in Beijing have died.

In the past few years, as the Yongyi Hou Mansion has gradually improved, many more people have spoken to Sun after meeting, and she is no longer a marginalized person in the circle of ladies before.

Because in the Zhou Dynasty, civilian officials were implicitly higher than military officials, so most of the civil and military family members were divided into two groups except those who were related by marriage.

Sun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are mostly surrounded by noble families, so it is difficult to talk about the family members of military attachés, so a certain official family member opposite may become a topic of conversation for this group of ladies from noble families.

By chance, Wang, the eldest wife of the Kang family, walked out.

When she got on her carriage, the ladies in Xungui's family started talking buzzingly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pricked up their ears.

I vaguely heard someone say that this eldest lady was famous for being a pampered and pampered woman when she was in her mother's family. Even her sister-in-law's dowry to send her son Guanyin was snatched away from the dowry by her crying.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Xuanmenhou next to her looked at each other.

A few years ago, Marquis Xuanmen gave away most of his family property to his daughter in order to repay the great kindness of his savior. Repaying a favor and righteousness in life made Marquis Xuanmen's family become the talk of Bianjing for a while.

However, the family status has indeed declined, but the men are still there. They only need to continue studying or join the army and make contributions.

Mrs. Xuanmen Hou rarely went to the wealthy people in front of her who were wearing gold and jade.

On some occasions where she had to go, Sun and she gradually became familiar with each other.

Madam Xuanmenhou said in a low voice: "I heard that the Guanyin who gave birth to a child was her sister-in-law's biological mother. She knelt down and begged for it from the temple step by step. It was because her mother's family was not responsible and was bullied, so she could only fight with the blood. Swallowed it into the stomach.”

"Aren't these people who sincerely ask for it and force themselves to come, not afraid of damaging their moral character? Then Mrs. Wang doesn't talk about her daughter?"

"Who knows, but Mr. Kang Hai Fengkang's career is not going to be easy during the national mourning period." Mrs. Xuanmen Hou gave you a look that you would understand.

"With such officials, wouldn't they have many concubines?"

"I heard that the Kangwang family put a lot of their own dowry into it."

"Ah? This is really a relative of our family who is still shabby."

Madam Xuanmen Hou was stunned.
  "what?"

Miss Xie Er looked surprised.

Madam Xuanmen Hou thought to herself, ‘Did I say bad things to my relatives? ’

Mrs. Sun looked at the other party's face and knew what she was thinking: "My aunt's daughter-in-law is a biological sister to this one."

"Tan Hualang Sheng's family?"

"Yes."

Madam Xuanmenhou looks much better.

She still knew about the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi who married into the Sheng family. From this point of view, she was not a close relative.

"I heard that this brother's mother-in-law will be released soon."

"Where to put it outside?"

“I heard it’s Runzhou”

As he spoke, the condolence team slowly moved forward.

When they saw a four or five-year-old girl kneeling aside in mourning clothes in the mourning hall, the ladies with children were so moved that they even got sore noses.

When everyone went out, Sun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out together with Madam Xuanmenhou. Miss Xie whispered:

"Mother-in-law, I don't think these few people from the Fan family are powerful relatives."

Mrs. Xuanmenhou said in a low voice: "Old Yu Ge's son, I heard, is not easy to worry about. He is very generous in inviting his colleagues to have drinks and parties, and all the gifts are from Mrs. Fan's dowry. "

"Ah? Such a scholarly family."

The group left the Yu family in whispers.

When Xu Zaijing came to the yard, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about how rich Mrs. Fan's dowry was.

I also heard the name of the girl who lost her mother when she was young: Yu Yanran.

In Youyang, which is thousands of miles away from Bianjing, a Sheng family's motorcade is slowly driving towards the Sheng family's ancestral home.

In the convoy were the official family members who had just been picked up from the dock.

Mrs. Sheng forced Mrs. Wang to come to Youyang this time.

While in Yangzhou, Mrs. Wang's dowry steward made a mistake in her business, and Lin Sushuang reported it to Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong had a big quarrel with Mrs. Wang and took away her housekeeping rights.

Of course, mainly the farms and shops accumulated by the Sheng family were assigned to Lin Sushuang for management.

Wang's own dowry is still in her own hands.

But when the Sheng family's assets and property required the host's intervention, or some favors were exchanged, Lin Xiaoniang's appearance quickly spread among the noble officials and their families in Yangzhou.

Sometimes, when a concubine comes forward, it is an insult and contempt for the collaborator.

However, since Sheng Hong was now the general judge of Yangzhou, no one dared to say anything. His colleagues would often call Sheng Hong a romantic and uninhibited person.

But among the matrons and ladies in Yangzhou, there was great dissatisfaction.

It was not easy to speak directly to Sheng Hong, so he could only direct his firepower at Lin Sushuang and Wang.

Lin Sushuang is thick-skinned, and she will greet anyone who says something unpleasant with a smile, not to mention that there are very few occasions where she, a concubine, needs to appear.

But Wang is Sheng Hong's eldest wife, and her presence is required for social interactions, wedding banquets, etc. Naturally, sarcastic remarks from the noble ladies and officials' family members who are not dealt with are indispensable.

Wang Ruofu came from a family of officials for generations. Although he was raised in the home of his uncle and aunt, he had been pampered since he was a child. How could he bear this anger.

The quarrel with Sheng Hong became more and more intense.

Mrs. Sheng saw that the situation was not good, so she asked Wang to accompany her because she was thinking about Sister Youyang, and took the Wang family's children to the Sheng family's old house in Youyang.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard of the Sheng family's ancestral house, Sheng Wei's eldest wife, Mrs. Li, naturally welcomed her warmly, but she was warm to the cold but cold to the ass.

Wang's face had been drooping ever since she entered the courtyard of the Sheng family's ancestral house, and she did not let Hua Lan and other children recognize her when they entered the main hall.

The eldest lady asked Sheng Wei's daughters Shulan and Pinlan who stayed at home to come out to meet them. Shulan and Pinlan were quite lively and their eyes were lively. The two sisters knelt down and saluted:
  "Shulan/Pinlan met the old lady, met my aunt, sister/sister Hualan, brother/brother Changbai, and sister Rulan."

Hualan and the other three smiled and naturally squatted or bowed in return.
  "Shulan, take your brothers and sisters out to play." Sheng Wei's wife Li said.

"What are you playing for? Those wild and playful girls from merchant families, don't spoil my children for nothing." Wang rolled her eyes, took Hua Lan in her hand, and looked at Li and said.

Shulan's smile faltered, and she didn't know how to release her hands and feet, so she could only look at her mother.

Pinlan was stunned.

After listening to her mother's words, Hua Lan looked at the extremely embarrassed main hall and said angrily: "Mother!!!"

Changbai looked at his eldest aunt's very ugly face and bowed:
  "Auntie, please forgive me." Li Shi smiled an ugly smile and didn't say anything unpleasant to say back.

Li was born into a merchant family and was used to the low status of merchants.

Moreover, her sister-in-law's family is not an ordinary family. There is a father who is enshrined in the Ancestral Temple, and her disciples can crush the Li family with just a few fingers.

Mrs. Li couldn't even see her heels when she raised her head.

So naturally I didn't dare to argue with Wang.

Mother Liu on the side looked at Mrs. Sheng and quickly helped her girl up from her seat.

"Old madam, eldest lady, my eldest lady is so tired that she is dizzy. Please forgive me. I will help her take a rest."

Mrs. Sheng nodded and waved her hand.

Mrs. Wang also knew that she had said something wrong. She caught a glimpse of her mother-in-law's ugly face from the corner of her eye, so she walked down the slope and left the main hall.

"I heard that Shulan has decided to marry someone?"

Mrs. Sheng looked at her sister-in-law with a smile on her face.
  Mrs. Shanda's face has not changed much, and Wang Ruofu's situation is nothing in her life.

Hearing Mrs. Sheng's words, a smile appeared on her face and she said happily:

"Yes. We, Youyang, had a child prodigy some time ago. He passed the college entrance examination at the age of only twelve and became a scholar. After some matchmaking, we decided on this marriage."

"He is also a poor child. He has lost his father since he was a child, and his mother has to starch and wash other people's clothes so that he can study."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng also looked surprised:
  "Oh? He has become a scholar at such a young age. He really has a bright future! He has been through hardships since he was a child, and he is also more considerate of other people's thoughts. He is a good family. Sweet girl, come here and let me see you."

Shulan came to Mrs. Sheng's side with some shyness.

She saw clearly just now that the extremely angry aunt also wanted to see the grandmother's face.

Pinlan returned to her mother.

"Good boy, when you get married, I don't know if I, the old lady, can come. Suqin, bring me my hairpin."

Putting the hairpin that Fang's mother had brought over into Shulan's hand, she said, "Aunt You was angry in Yangzhou, don't take it to heart."

Shulan looked at the style of hairpin she had never seen before and hurriedly saluted: "Old madam, I don't have one."

"Good boy."

"Shulan, take it."

"Yes, thank you, great uncle."

The two sisters talked a lot more and had dinner together after nightfall.

Mrs. Liu, who is next to Mrs. Wang, said that her eldest wife was not feeling well and ate in her own room.

That night, Mrs. Wang was called into the room by her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Sheng was sitting on the couch.

"Daughter-in-law greets mother."

"Well, sit down."

"Thank you mother."

"It's been a long time since you married into the Sheng family. Did my old lady ask you to obey the rules and stay calm every day?"

"Mother is the most kind, and there is no one else."

"Do you really blame me for not stopping Lin Sushuang from entering?"

Wang was silent for a moment and said, "Of course there is no such thing."

"Whether you have it in mind or not! I don't care, old lady.

I think you two, Qin Se and Ming, were in harmony back then.

But you are proud of your favor!

Yelling and drinking among the officials and their families in the backyard.

Back then, you accepted other people's benefits and money from others, so you wanted to influence the behavior of your family officials in the officialdom.

Your official didn't listen, so you actually moved out the Wang family to threaten him.

How is the result?

Also, if you are in Quanzhou and are getting along with Mrs. Zhizhou, what will be the result? "

Madam Sheng shouted the last sentence.

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she jumped up from her chair and stood aside respectfully.

"In Quanzhou Prefecture, your official reputation was almost ruined by you!
  If he hadn't acted with tact and discernment, why would he have been promoted to general judge?

Do you know who the son of Zhuang An is?
  Do you know how many distinguished disciples he has taught under his command?

How many students are there who have won Jinshi?
  Um? "

"and also!
  Previously, the Sheng family's business in Quanzhou was completely swallowed up by others. Instead of thinking about your own mistakes, you would only jump around in the backyard and blame your own officials.

Lin Sushuang took advantage of her, and instead of repenting, she started playing tricks in the ancestral home of the Sheng family.

What a great majesty!

Auntie Dafang doesn’t care about her face!
  The eldest daughter-in-law's face has been completely wiped out by you, and she doesn't even dare to say a word! You are so awesome! Don’t even think about the year-end dividend that year. Wei Geer lost half a penny to you!

Are you trying to make the Sheng brothers hate each other? "

Mrs. Sheng's words touched her heart. Every time she said a word, Mrs. Wang's face became uglier.

"Mother, I, I was wrong." Mrs. Wang knelt in front of the old lady.

"Your official position is from Yangzhou Tongjian of the fifth rank. He has the final say in family affairs. If you act like this, one day he will abandon you. The Wang family can't say anything about your above actions. "

"Mom, I was wrong! I will go to apologize to my sister-in-law tomorrow."

Wang said tremblingly.

"now go."

"But the weather is bad, mother. My daughter-in-law has resigned."

Mrs. Sheng took her breath away in the room. She was getting angrier as she spoke. If she hadn't tempered her temper over the past few decades and cultivated herself for many years, she would have been able to curse.

"Girl, calm down, you are already old."

"This is my daughter-in-law, really."

"The eldest lady is also straight-tempered, so don't worry. This is the letter sent from the eldest house when you were talking just now."

"Where is it?"

"Bianjing sent it to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou hired a fast horse to deliver it."
