Chapter 7

Sizhitang is full of iron mouths, since it involves the Fu family's dirty secrets, the content of the late-night conversation between the mother and son, except that the second lady will move to Sizhitang to accompany the old lady, naturally nothing else has leaked out.

However, even this insignificant part is enough to make waves in the calm lake in the backyard of the Fu family.

……

……

In the morning, after Li Ci had finished her dressing, she came to the eldest wife's Fuchun residence to pay her respects as usual.

She already knew what happened last night from her mother-in-law, and she thought about leaving early after paying her respects to avoid conflicts, but it was obvious that something big would happen today.She had just entered, and before she finished saluting, she already smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air.

The eldest lady's face was very ugly.

The hairpin was decorated with jewels and jewels, misplaced with luxuriant emeralds, and even the bright color of the lemon-colored clothes couldn't hide the hostility and smolderingness on her face.

Li Ci peeked at Aunt Shen who was standing with her arms down, and when she received her daughter's questioning look, Aunt Shen's eyes slanted slightly, and she made a mouth gesture.

Following her line of sight, Li Ci saw Aunt Liu and Second Lady.

Maybe it's been a long time since we saw each other, but Li Ci noticed that Aunt Liu's face was strange.After taking a closer look, she realized that it wasn't that she couldn't remember Aunt Liu's appearance, but that the little aunt who always had a sad face on weekdays suddenly turned into a noble lady full of luxury, so she couldn't recognize her at first glance.

Aunt Liu is really radiant today.

The hair is collected at the top, the blood is combed into a cloud shape, and the front of the bun is decorated with pearls and emeralds. Although it is not as elegant and luxurious as the hairpin bun, it is more plump and elegant. I like Yun Duo Temple, No.2 in the hairstyle list.

And her clothes are made of ordinary materials, only the embroidery is vivid.With a slight movement, the pattern on the sleeves and skirt can vaguely be refined into a half-picture of begonias sleeping in spring, which is extraordinary and looks more and more delicate than flowers.

As for the second lady, she was originally the most beautiful among the Fu family's wives. Today she had to dress up ingeniously. She was combed into a flying bun, wearing a light lake blue embroidered skirt, covered with a half arm of ink orchid brocade, and a gold flower heavy brocade. It is so beautiful and glamorous, like a concubine or fairy.

At this moment, sitting together, the mother and daughter actually took most of the glory of Fuchun Residence for themselves.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu couldn't wait for a moment.

It seems that today's storm cannot be avoided.

After Li Ci saluted, she stepped aside and watched with cold eyes.

Aunt Shen took the hint from the eldest wife and took the lead in launching the attack.

"Aunt Liu's dress today is really pretty, but the begonia is a frivolous and decadent thing, and the picture of the begonia sleeping in spring embroidered on the skirt is frivolous—"

The ending sound deliberately has a rising rhyme, obviously there are some words like "shameless" left unsaid.

Aunt Liu was the old lady's face, how could she not hear Aunt Shen's sarcasm, she just stepped forward and made a shy look at the old lady:

"Yesterday, the maids went to Sizhiyuan to serve, and it happened that the women gave spring shirts to the Sizhiyuan. The extra set, the women couldn't bear to wear this tender color. The maids saw the picture of Begonia Spring Sleeping She was so ashamed that her face was flushed. Only the old lady saw that the dress of the servant girl was old, so she gave the skirt to the servant girl. The servant girl received the reward, although she felt that the color of the dress was a bit frivolous, but in the end it was a gift from the elders, so she dared not resign. And... when I served the master in the morning, the master also said that the clothes are beautiful."

Speaking of her pride, her voice was like a gnat, and a blush just happened to appear on her cheeks. The eldest wife was so angry that she gritted her teeth but couldn't attack.

These words are quite level: first point out that the clothes are rewarded by the old lady, and go to the old lady if you have any opinions; then hint to the old lady that the second lady will move into Sizhiyuan soon, and the old lady already knows that you are harsh on me. It's time for you to restrain yourself; finally, the head of the Fu family is involved, the master likes me wearing this dress!
"Yes, the master has always liked tender colors."

The eldest wife spoke pointedly, pondered for a moment, and said to Aunt Shen who was standing beside her, "Did the master say how to deal with the few in Huanshaxi?"

Huanshaxi is the residence specially set up by the Fu family for the Ji people who have had sex with the master.Fu Zhu has always kept his life clean and self-conscious, he only has one wife and three concubines, and he has never asked his wives and concubines to show shame to the maids.But he is a man after all, although most of the concubines given by the officialdom are given away, but it is inevitable that there are a few attractive ones who can't help it for a while. Naturally, the placement of these women is also the scope of work of the head of the house.

When Aunt Shen was working in front of the eldest princess, her son-in-law was a sex-loving character. There were hundreds of concubines in the house, and she did not know how many unsightly ones she had taken care of for the eldest princess.Now assisting the eldest wife in managing the house, Aunt Shen has always been very appropriate in handling such matters.

"I have already asked for instructions. The master said that those in Huanshaxi are all helpless duckweeds. If they are willing, when the eighth prince returns to Beijing, they will promise to give some dowry to the men in the army. If you are high-spirited and want to live alone, it’s fine to send some money to the countryside.”

Fu Zhu is a generous man, he often sends stewards to the yamen to cancel the deeds, or gives some money back to his hometown, or asks Fu Liu's family to visit their homes.It's just that the eldest wife suddenly asked about this at this moment, obviously not wanting to hear these things that had been decided long ago.

Aunt Shen also knew what she meant, and after telling her that she was willing to go out, she added: "Those who insist on staying in the house and want to climb high branches to become aunts, I will also register them in the booklet, and present them to you when I have time." Master. If the master still remembers the name and pronounces her well, let’s stay here for now, set aside a small yard and two maids, if I don’t remember it long ago..."

"Send it directly to the nunnery!"

The eldest lady said coldly, "In the family of meritorious service, how can there be such a contemptuous and self-righteous person, who has been rewarded with a stick and dragged the graves. It is also our master who is kind and can't bear to be harsh, which has fueled the arrogance of the little waves. .”

"It's time to kill their prestige." Aunt Shen nodded in agreement, "The aunt of the Yiyang Hou Mansion can't just do anything."

The two of them sang and sang together, so that Aunt Liu's face turned from red to green, and then from green to white, but she couldn't get her mouth shut.Li Ci saw it and didn't make a sound.

At the end, the eldest lady seemed to remember with great difficulty that the old lady wanted the second lady to move to Sizhitang, and smiled and said:
"Second lady, I think Sizhiyuan lives far away from Fuchun, and the roads are slippery in the dark in winter. If you accidentally fall and damage this rare beauty, it will be a great crime. So, from now on, you will be sober. The gift will be waived."

"Mother—this is not in line with filial piety. A daughter still wants to listen to her mother's teachings every day."

The second lady said reservedly.

The eldest wife smiled brightly, as if she was really a magnanimous aunt.

"The old lady wants you to spend more time with her. If that's the case, how can a daughter-in-law know how to be flexible? My dynasty builds the country with filial piety. Although the second lady is a concubine, she can fulfill her filial piety on behalf of her parents. It's a good news to spread the word. Even if my husband's family is the highest in the future, I dare not underestimate you."

This clearly implies that the eldest wife will definitely play tricks on the second lady's marriage.

The second lady was not angry either, she knew from the time she was planning to move into Sizhitang to accompany the old lady that if this happened, she would definitely offend the old lady severely, but so what?The aunt has always disliked her, and she is often harsh on weekdays, but now it is just adding a little bit of dislike to her!
She is fourteen years old, and she will be married within a year or two.As long as the old lady is happy, get a good marriage before the old lady strikes, and have the dowry subsidized by the old lady, the marriage will be smooth and smooth.Even after the old lady left, she still had the name of being a filial piety on behalf of her father. The eldest lady is famous for saving face, so she has to help after all, right?

It can be said that unless the old lady suddenly collapsed, the eldest lady would have to suffer this dark loss—considering that the old lady is still in good health, this may basically not happen.So the second lady won a complete victory this time, and the eldest wife had no choice but to say some nasty words to vent.

After a few words of advice, the second lady and Aunt Liu left Fuchunju.

After all, it was hard to get over it, they just left Fuchun residence, the eldest lady immediately ordered people to put away the brocade mats and mats used by Er Niangzi and Aunt Liu and burn them.

"This bitch is really hypocritical!"

The unfinished sentence must have been addressed to Aunt Liu.

"Why should my wife be angry with that bitch's mother and daughter. She is used to using such dirty tricks, pretending to be cute and pitiful, so as to gain sympathy."

Aunt Zhang is here.

Her complexion was gloomy, nine out of ten she met Aunt Liu at the entrance of the courtyard and was ridiculed.

Although Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu are concubines given to their son by the old lady, they have old grudges against each other.

When Fu Liushi was pregnant with her first wife, the old lady wanted to give her son a room.She thought about Fu Liu's family being Wei Guogong's first daughter after all, if she gave it to two at once, it would be like cutting her daughter-in-law's face.It so happened that the old lady had a woman who had learned face-to-face. She said that Ju Xiang (Aunt Liu) had the best looks, but she was blessed with a poor face, while Mei Xiang (Aunt Zhang) was a good child for Yizi.Therefore, the old lady only wanted to give Meixiang to her son as a roommate at first.

Unexpectedly, that day when the old lady left her son to eat in Sizhitang, Ju Xiang intentionally spilled the soup on Mei Xiang's skirt, and Mei Xiang went back to her room to change her skirt.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ju Xiang was courteous in every possible way, and Fu Zhu left an impression on Ju Xiang.Afterwards, Ju Xiang took the lead, and Mei Xiang also knew Ju Xiang's calculations, and felt resentful in her heart, and since then she has a knot in her heart.

Fortunately, the old lady kept the words of the face-mianning woman in mind, and later found a chance to bring Mei Xiang into her son's room.It's just that the mother-in-law sent people to the son's room one after another, and the daughter-in-law couldn't keep up the face. Gradually, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned against each other, and the relationship faded.

After that, Aunt Liu got pregnant first, but she gave birth to a woman.Because Aunt Zhang had suffered a secret loss, she was afraid that Aunt Liu would slander and persuade the eldest wife to take Sanlang away. During her confinement, she knelt down in front of the eldest wife and begged her to take Sanlang away, so as to save her life.The eldest wife was shocked when she heard the words, and Aunt Zhang took the opportunity to pour out all the dirty things between her and Aunt Liu, and added a lot of spices.The eldest wife was already annoyed that the old lady gave her two roommates in a row, but because she was a daughter-in-law, she couldn't get angry. After being informed by Aunt Zhang, she immediately promised to protect their mother and child. From then on, Aunt Liu blamed Aunt Liu for all her anger.

"But after all, she has won the master's favor, and now she has moved into the Sizhiyuan. In the future, the old lady's body will subsidize the second wife. It's so easy for Sanlang to become a son-in-law, but—"

"Master also said the day before yesterday that the concubine of the Runan Palace is both beautiful and talented! Why didn't you see that he also took that Yueniang as his aunt?"

Aunt Zhang was talking angrily, and suddenly remembered that Aunt Shen was sitting opposite, so she quickly changed the topic.

"It's nothing more than knowing that the skirt is a gift from the old lady, and taking care of the old lady's face."

"It's a pity that the second lady was born with a beautiful face, but she has a faceless mother. Otherwise, she can be called a prince and a prince based on her appearance and female workers."

Aunt Shen quietly added a sentence from the side.

"That's not true. My Sanlang told me that when I was studying in Dianlou yesterday..."

Aunt Liu got the point, she added more details about what happened yesterday, and at the end she added, "Mother has a small heart, and the children she brings up will inevitably be petty and will not be able to stand on the stage."

The most taboo thing for a famous wife is to be narrow-minded and not allow her husband to take concubines.

"Oh, I'm sorry for this child. I hope that by being with the old lady, I can be influenced by what I see and hear, and I can get some upbringing, so that I can avoid embarrassment when we talk about kissing in the future."

The eldest wife sighed pretentiously, and Aunt Zhang naturally agreed.Because the second lady was half the master after all, Aunt Zhang didn't want to say much after all, and after going around in circles, the women finally brought the topic back to Aunt Liu, so they laughed and laughed, and they didn't know how unbearable it was to ridicule her.

After talking for more than half an hour, they each resigned.
