Foster son and husband

Chapter 215
218 wooden bowl
The old lady took the sedan chair and left, because she was going to take a nap, so the daughter-in-law and the girls didn't have to go to Jinhua Hall. The second wife asked the nanny to carry Wei'er, and she also sat in the sedan chair and went back to the west courtyard. When she left, she glanced at Bai Jingyu, Bai Jingyu But she didn't intend to go back, Ning Rulan had to wait for Xu Junya to come back to pick her up, so the second wife had no choice but to leave by herself.

Meimei asked her mother-in-law and servants to take the girls back to the hospital to rest. Although the mansion has been divided, the girls of the Xu mansion who have not left the cabinet do not need to be moved. Far away, with an umbrella under the sun, there are flower stands and tree shade along the way, and there are hand-painted verandahs everywhere. You don't need to take a sedan chair, you can go back after walking.

The three girls left one after another, Xu Xiaojuan was still coaxing her son, Li Xu was crying all the time for some reason, and she didn't want to be coaxed by the nanny and girls, so Xu Xiaojuan had to carry him around in the hall.

Meimei didn't know why Xu Xiaojuan had that kind of attitude towards her, and she naturally didn't want to take the initiative to talk to this aunt, so she went to see Heng'er, who was already full and sat in her high wooden armchair, Holding the silver spoon in one hand and the bowl in the other, she was playing with herself, but she refused to let Xia Lian take the bowl away. Meimei touched his little head and said with a smile:

"My dear son, you are really capable. When you are full, why don't you give the bowl to Sister Xia Lian to wash?"

Xia Lian looked at Xu Xiaojuan and Meimei anxiously, but hesitated to speak.

In the living room, apart from Rulan who was pregnant but not yet born, the rest of Bai Jingyu, Fang's family, and Gan's family took care of their children, and they had no time to take care of each other. The children were noisy, and they didn't notice that Xu Xiaojuan's child was always making trouble. Ning Rulan took a look at it. Sister Hui and Brother Shen came to see Heng'er, and found that the golden wooden bowl in his hand was very special, so they laughed and said:

"Heng'er's golden bowl is so beautiful! How about showing it to Third Aunt?"

Heng'er gripped the golden wooden bowl tightly with both hands, and shook her head in displeasure, Meimei said, "Show the third aunt, and I don't want yours, please be generous?"

Heng'er listened, lowered her eyes and remained silent, and after a while slowly delivered the small wooden bowl to Ning Rulan. Ning Rulan was about to reach out to pick it up, but Heng'er retracted her hand, but hugged the bowl into her arms again up.

Meimei raised her eyebrows, Ning Rulan said with a smile: "Hey, what about the kid, just let me show you, he has already done it, it's fine!"

Xu Xiaojuan came over with Li Xu in her arms, and said, "Sister-in-laws teach children like this? No wonder! When did our Xu family have such petty children? When our brothers and sisters were young, my father said that Kong Rong let pears teach brothers and sisters Be friendly, be humble to each other, share delicious food and fun with everyone, don't hide everything...Heng Er, I was taught badly by you!"

The sisters-in-law in the hall couldn't help being stunned for a moment: Did you hear me wrong?The eldest aunt actually came back to her natal home to accuse her natal sister-in-law of being incompetent in teaching her children!

Meimei glanced at Xia Lian, Xia Lian lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu insists on the small wooden bowl in Brother Heng's hand, otherwise he won't eat, and even cries endlessly. My aunt and grandmother persuaded me, but my servant They also coaxed Brother Heng, wanting to ask him to exchange the bowl for Brother Xu, but Brother Heng just refused... Brother Xu has been making trouble until now."

Meimei understood, and said to Xu Xiaojuan with a smile: "There are indeed no petty children in the Xu family. The eldest aunt was born in the Xu mansion, so she is considered a child of the Xu family, right? Now she is saying such petty words! Presumably it is because she has been married for many years and has been infected with Yes, it’s the first time I’ve heard the word “Tibet, Tibet, Yeye”. I’m in charge of the Hou Mansion. There’s such a big family here. Brothers and sisters live together. What’s there to hide? What does Brother Xu want? Silver bowls and copper bowls Here, if you don't like it, let me tell you, we have a golden bowl, and the teacher in charge can go to the warehouse to get it! Auntie is satisfied? Auntie said that I have taught Heng'er badly, why should I teach him? Don't use yourself Give up the wooden bowl he is used to to his cousin? Heng Er did the right thing. Kong Rong gave up the pear. He still has a pear anyway. If Heng Er gave up the wooden bowl in his hand to his cousin, he would lose it. May I ask if Cousin Li can do it?"

Xu Xiaojuan looked at her with even more resentment in her eyes: "You are the only one who treats her as a sister-in-law and mother! I am also the eldest granddaughter-in-law in the Li family, and there are also married aunts who come back to live with my mother's house. How dare I treat you like this? The aunts can say whatever they want." What is it, she is as delicate as when she was at home! My nephew is the most valued, I would rather wrong my own child than despise my nephew!"

Meimei was startled for a moment, is there such a rule?Thinking about the situation when he returned to the Qin Mansion, he seemed to be quite respected. Heng'er was indeed regarded as a treasure. Could it be that he was really wrong?Belittle aunt and nephew?
Looking back at the sisters-in-law, Fang and Gan are sons-in-law and daughter-in-law, so they dare not discuss anything with their eldest aunt, they just lowered their heads, Ning Rulan frowned thoughtfully, Bai Jingyu smiled slightly , said to Xu Xiaojuan:

"It is said that the mansion is now divided, and the waiting mansion here is headed by the eldest sister-in-law. My second sister-in-law is not good at talking, but anyway, I am also your natal sister-in-law, so I have to persuade you? It has been a while since the eldest aunt came back. In order to visit the eldest wife's illness, I performed my filial piety in front of the sick bed. The elder sister-in-law was sick and was raised in another hospital. The family was separated in the house, and it was a bit chaotic, but she never treated the eldest aunt poorly, right? Is there me and your third sister-in-law? , On which day did you forget your husband, wife, mother and child? The eldest brother is busy with official duties, and the eldest sister-in-law is unable to move around due to illness, but she always sends someone back to tell us to take care of the eldest aunt and grandma’s family. The third elder brother also personally sent him to the river outside the city, and arranged for the building crew to take him home... Isn't the eldest aunt in her natal family as delicate as when she was not out of the court? I never said anything, and who has any slight comments? Now I am only angry because my child snatched a toy-like wooden bowl, but it is meaningless! If you tell someone that your natal sister-in-law gave a golden bowl and a silver bowl, it will be unreasonable Hi, if you insist on nephew's wooden bowl, you'll laugh your ass off!"

Xu Xiaojuan was very annoyed, it was right to dote on her son, but how could she really care about a mere wooden bowl?
She is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, even though she is married, she still has to maintain her honorable status as the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion!Ever since she was a child, her parents have loved her so much that no one can replace her. In the Hou Mansion, she insisted on one thing, and the two children went back to her natal family when they were not born. At that time, the mother was in good health and took control of the Hou Mansion. This time, the mother was sick in bed, and the sister-in-law was always on the verge of seeing the end. She still couldn't figure it out, but she made up her mind not to let this sister-in-law who disliked the old lady but insisted on protecting her elder brother underestimate herself!
Li Xu hummed to herself and refused to stop crying, Mei Mei looked down at the wooden bowl in Heng'er's hand, she didn't blame the children for liking it, the silver rice bowl was not used, she insisted on snatching the wooden bowl, it was Xu Junying's fault It's troublesome, Henger just learned to eat by himself, Meimei asked Baoju to make him a wooden bowl, the picture is light and durable, but Xu Junying thinks that ordinary wood is not good, so he tried to get a piece of golden rosewood , please the craftsman to make a wooden bowl, and carve it carefully, engraving lifelike flowers, birds and auspicious animals on the edge of the bowl, which child do you think is not jealous?Even Heng'er knows how to protect treasures so well, it's no wonder that two-year-old Li Xu doesn't know how to snatch them!
But there is only one item, so what should I do?Xu Junying is not at home, where can I find the same one for my nephew to satisfy this great aunt?

It suddenly occurred to him that Bai Zhan was still at home, so he could just ask him to find out where he made it, so he could get a similar one, so as not to be said to treat a married woman poorly, since he was also a woman, he would not be treated badly when he returned to the Qin Mansion For the sake of it, just follow the rules she said and try to be nice to her. It's not like living together for a long time. When the aunt returns to her mother's house, she will only live for a month at most!

Then he said to Bai Jingyu: "It was really inconvenient for me to go home a while ago. I entrusted everything to the second and third grandmothers, and the fourth grandmother couldn't relax. I'm so sorry for exhausting you! My aunt and I, we I can't take care of her when I'm sick, and it's not convenient for her to go out to see me with Brother Xu, so let's forget about it in a few minutes! This wooden bowl was made by Master Hou who found a craftsman outside for Heng'er. Since the children I like them all, let me ask Bai Zhan to find out where he made it, if he can find out, make a few of the same ones, one for each person, no one will grab it!"

Bai Jingyu nodded: "This is good, our eldest sister also likes it! Lian'er, do you want a wooden bowl like Heng'er?"

Xu Meilian replied crisply: "Yes! I like wooden bowls!"

Li Xu stopped making trouble, Xu Xiaojuan raised her eyes to look at Meimei, the expression on her face softened, Ning Rulan smiled and said, "I want one too!"

Meimei chuckled: "You really..."

Ning Rulan said: "I will use it myself. When he comes out, he will eat by himself when he grows up, so I will give it to him!"

The maids and women next to me listened, pursing their lips and laughing: Those who didn't know thought they were fighting for something. The wooden bowls that are only used by poor people are so sought after by rich people, and they have become popular!
Xu Xiaojuan took the child and left first, and went back to Qiuhua Courtyard. The children were slightly sleepy, so the nanny and maids took them back for a nap. Gan and Fang also left, leaving behind Meimei, Bai Jingyu and Ning Ru. The three of Lan were still sitting in the flower hall.At this time, the sun is blazing, but there is a gentle breeze, and the flowers and shadows in the garden are sparse, and the scenery in the summer afternoon is very sleepy. It is rare for the three of them to talk together. Meimei pointed to Ning Rulan, and said to Cuixi: "Change the third grandma to a cup of plain water, and drink less tea."

Ning Rulan asked: "But why?"

Meimei couldn't tell: "I don't know, I heard from the imperial doctor that you should drink less tea when you are pregnant!"

In fact, I heard it from seniors who were pregnant and gave birth at work before. I forgot the reason. Anyway, the doctor explained it, so it should be right.

Fortunately, Ning Rulan didn't ask too much, and she would only drink that if she was given plain water.

The three of them first talked about the affairs of the Houfu. Xu Junying also mentioned to Meimei that the affairs of the Houfu are managed by the general manager, but there are always some important matters that need to be decided by the master. When Meimei refused to go back, Xu Junying asked Bai Jingyu and Ning Rulan is in charge of the Hou Mansion for the time being. He only knows that Meimei was on good terms with Ning Rulan at the beginning, but later on she got involved with Bai Jingyu, who didn't quite see each other. When the Xu mansion entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to Bai Jingyu, and asked her to take care of them together with the eldest wife, and Bai Jingyu also tried her best to handle everything according to Meimei's specifications, so Xu Junying understood that the two sisters-in-law should have reached a certain consensus If Meimei trusts Bai Jingyu, then he will follow her path and only look for Bai Jingyu and Ning Rulan.

At present, Bai Jingyu and Ning Rulan have handed over the affairs of the Hou Mansion to Meimei, and they trust each other. There is no big deal, just talk about it, and it didn't take much time.

　Today, after an update, I was suddenly sent out to do some errands and ran for a day. . . . . .
