Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 317 Jiang Shaoyan's Threat (2)
Gu Qingmei's heart suddenly moved, and her sharp eyes moved away from the string of bodhi beads that never left the hands of the third lady.

It's been a while since she married Murong Yu. These days, she goes to the mansion to pay respects to the princess. Occasionally, she meets the third wife. It's always similar to the situation in front of her. Every time, she brings a large group of children to pay her respects. Greetings from the concubine, as if the third wife has full majesty among these concubines and concubines.

Moreover, she had heard from Murong Wenying that the third wife managed the family well. Although there were several aunts, concubines and concubines living in the yard, there was never any rumor of incompatibility.

Basically, she felt that this should be impossible.

Even on her mother-in-law's side, the harmony between the wives and concubines is due to the years of working together, and the disobedient ones are either dismissed or killed, which leads to the current harmonious situation.

In a family, it is basically impossible for the wives, concubines and children to be harmonious.

So, how did the third lady do it?

She couldn't help but carefully looked at the people behind the third lady. These were Murong Yu's cousins ​​and cousins, that is to say, they were all her uncles and sisters-in-law. Incredible.

But...it's just too regular.

There are a few people in this world who have a temperament similar to Murong Wenying's. Even if they are not as lively and active as Murong Wenying, brothers and sisters should at least exchange a few words.

Even Murong Yu, who everyone calls him the king of Hades, would chat with his concubine brother Murong Bo, asking how he was reading, or whether he was short of money recently.

But along the way, these children of the third wife did not talk at all, and the rules were so horrifying to her.

And... for some reason, she always felt that there was something wrong with the faces of the children of the third wife, and there was a faint blue color in their eyes, as if they hadn't slept well.

She was thinking in her head, but she calmly asked the children of the third wife not to be polite, and then went to her mother-in-law.

Murong Wenjing walked behind Jiang Wanruo sternly, wearing an apricot-colored long skirt with a fragrant sash, and the jade pendant at the waist that was used to press the corner of the skirt was hung there steadily, without even shaking it, she was quite a lady temperament.

"Mother!" She called out, walked up to Jiang Wanruo, and gently saluted. "I'm still thinking about when I can see my mother. I'm young, and I don't know a few people. Without my mother to guide me, I'm afraid that others will say that I'm rude and lose my mother's face."

"You girl, you really have a heart." Jiang Wanruo looked at her lovingly and said. "Follow me today, and I'll introduce you to a few more people."

"Sister-in-law got a good daughter-in-law, who knows how to be courteous and can talk, which makes me really envious." The fourth wife led a pair of twin sons over and interjected.

The Fourth Madam also brought a pair of twin sons into the palace today. The twin brothers were all dressed in moon white satin robes of Mr. Wen Sheng. With such a difference, others can't tell who is who between the two.

Although her husband is only a fifth-rank official, she is also the daughter-in-law of King Jiajun and the younger sister-in-law of the pure concubine, so she is naturally qualified to enter the palace.

Moreover, her two sons are both 16 years old this year. After attending Murong Yu's wedding, the reason why they did not return to Zhongzhou Prefecture, where her husband worked, was because the old man had sent a message to find a suitable job for the two children in the capital. daughter in law.

Although she has only lived in the palace for a month, she has suffered countless difficulties and bullying from the princess and the second wife during this month. Not to mention that all food and drink expenses have been deducted, the second wife has been ironic The background of her father-in-law and concubine always said that her two sons were not good, so they must not be a good marriage.

Her husband-in-law was originally a concubine, and Aunt Fang died of dystocia back then. She was a woman, and lived here with her two children. It was no different from a sojourner.

Fortunately, Shi Zifei is a sensible person, knowing that she was angry, she did not hesitate to help her overtly and secretly.

Speaking of these years, she followed her husband to take office outside. Her husband was promoted from Qipin county magistrate all the way up through the scientific examination. A Qipin county magistrate's annual salary is only 360 taels of silver.

If it is an ordinary family, with these 360 ​​taels a year, I don't know what kind of scenery it is.

But being an official is different. Just making official uniforms is a huge expense. Although she is a low-rank official, she is also a serious official. The up and down expenses, plus the two children have to go to school, 360 taels of silver, how can it be enough to spend.

Therefore, Madam Jun is usually the one who helps her. Every year, she will send someone to give her money to support her life. From time to time, she will be warned that she must be clean and self-sufficient, and she cannot rely on her husband to be an official. The matter of Ziqian brought disaster to her husband.

Later, Mrs. Jun passed away, and she got the letter. When she accompanied her husband back to the capital for the funeral, Shi Zifei secretly found her and gave her 20 taels of silver note, saying that Mrs. Jun had given it to her before she died.

She was so grateful that she didn't know what to say. No one else knew about the 20 taels of silver notes except for the concubine. Mrs. Jun was afraid of being coveted, and she didn't leave any literal documents at all. The concubine could do it by herself. ambiguous.

However, the concubine Shizi didn't touch a tael of silver, and she handed over the large stack of banknotes to her intact, which proved that the concubine Shizi's character was worthy of friendship.

So in this family, the only person she is close to is Shi Zifei.

Seeing the fourth wife coming, Gu Qingmei hurriedly said hello to her, "Fourth aunt has praised her absurdly. In my opinion, Brother Yan and Brother Zhou are both lucky, and the wives they will marry in the future must be educated and reasonable. Auntie's heart."

"Look, I just said that this child is sensible, but she picked what I like to hear." The fourth lady looked at her with a smile.

Jiang Wanruo showed a satisfied expression, "The most proud thing in my life is to marry such a daughter-in-law."

"What's the mother talking about?" Gu Qingmei joked as she glanced at a person walking behind Jiang Wanruo. "When Sister Ying marries a good son-in-law, mother should be most proud."

"Who wants to marry my uncle?" As soon as the joking voice fell, Mrs. Lu Guogong led a young lady with an immature face coming from behind.

Gu Qingmei hurriedly saluted her, "I have seen Mrs. Guogong."

Mrs. Lu Guogong smiled with satisfaction. Murong Wenying is her future third daughter-in-law. She heard what Gu Qingmei said just now. Gu Qingmei said that Murong Wenying would marry a good son-in-law. Isn't that a compliment to her third son's character? ?
