The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 18

The male relatives were having a banquet with the Eight Immortals, and the female relatives set up a table at the Jieyu Pavilion. The eldest lady was very sorry, "Baifang Garden looks big, but it is actually full of people, and they stay in these places every year. The lady was joking."

It doesn't matter if Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang even said, "Which house isn't full of people?"

Mrs. Zhang took advantage of the situation and sighed, "Our eldest daughter-in-law is about to have a baby, and the garden at home is getting smaller and smaller. If it weren't for fear of people's gossip, I would like to separate the family and let Erlang and Sanlang go out and live alone."

Mr. Zhang has no fame, and there are many inconveniences in his actions. He is cautious, and his residence in Suzhou is indeed relatively cramped.

But it's not to the point where we have to separate from each other, right?

Not to mention changing residences and expanding, just buying two more houses for the second and third sons, and the assets of the Zhang family would not be unaffordable.

The eldest wife was really surprised, "I still remember that there are two houses in Shantang—"

Mrs. Zhang smiled wryly, "We're all close friends, so I'm not afraid of spreading family scandals..."

After looking at the daughters of the Yang family who were staring with round eyes and curious faces, they finally covered it up and did not continue, "However, it's not bad for everyone's interest, let's eat and drink."

The eldest lady was thoughtful.

The third lady couldn't help it any longer, with a look of concern on her face.

Seeing it in her eyes, Seventh Lady couldn't help frowning secretly.

Even if you have a crush on the young master of the Zhang family, you don't have to be so obvious.

She gave San Niangzi a sideways look, "Third Sister, what are you thinking about so preoccupied, the bowl in your hand almost overturned."

Everyone looked at San Niangzi.

San Niangzi finally knew how to cover up, "I was thinking about the Northwest!"

The wives turned to talk about the influence of the Northwest military on Jiangnan.

The long story about land property, harvest, business... the daughter's family was dizzy after hearing it.

After eating hastily, Fifth Lady took Sixth Lady and Seventh Lady to Wanhualiu and took a boat to feed the fish.

The fourth lady had already told her to go back to Qilixiang.

Ever since she got a scar on her face, Fourth Lady became more and more like a mute, she couldn't speak a word with three sticks, and she usually had nothing to do when she was free, but she just lived in seclusion in Qilixiang.

The third lady sat down again, seeing the eldest lady winking at her, she had no choice but to chase the fourth lady back to the house in disappointment.

The wives began to discuss with the first lady, "It's a pity for the fourth lady, you are such a beauty..."

"It's not that I, a mother-in-law, think my daughter-in-law is bad..."

Fifth Lady, Sixth Lady, and Seventh Lady listened to a few words in the pool, but they all found it boring.

An unmarried little girl, how can she hold the things in her mind that are in the hearts of the wives and grandmas? Why does your daughter-in-law know how to be a man, and her son-in-law doesn’t know how to manage the family? pain.

"It's better to go ashore and sit in the rockery." Liu Niangzi rolled her eyes, "The weather is so hot, so I have to sit comfortably in the rockery cave."

A few people went ashore by the pool, walked around Xikefang and entered the promenade.

"We have to go through the Eight Immortals." Seventh Lady hesitated.

"Hey, only the young master of the Gui family is of the same generation." Wu Niangzi didn't care much, "The rest are all uncles, so it's no big deal if we bump into each other."

The three little girls approached Jubaxian while chattering.

Outside Jubaxianmen, they all lowered their voices by coincidence.

Wu Niangzi tiptoed around, and at the same time wanted to eavesdrop on the movement in Jubaxian, she was sneaky, and she looked a bit cute.

Jubaxian is really lively, with the singing of little singing and graceful singing, and the sound of Yiyi Yaya's silk and bamboo music. Take a peek at the shade inside.

Chattering and laughing came from inside from time to time, and my second uncle's voice was the brightest.

A few young ladies quietly passed Jubaxian, walked around behind the viburnum bushes and went up the rockery, where they sat down crowded together in the rockery cave.

The weather is so hot, even if there are icebergs at home to cool off the heat, it can't compare to the coolness in the shade of the rockery.

Fifth Lady and Sixth Lady both sighed comfortably.

Qin Niangzi pursed her lips thoughtfully, "Second Tang Shu has always been serious, I don't know why he is so happy today."

To write Brother Nine and Lady Seven under the name of the eldest wife, there are also many joints that need to be dredged.

Although others don't know about it, the head of the family definitely knows it... During the years when Jiu Yiniang brought Seventh Lady to live in the northwest, although she had no contact with outsiders, she had to always rely on the care of the head of the family—— To put it bluntly, no one would believe me if I said that my family didn't have any thoughts about such a big family matter as the fourth bedroom of the Yang family.

The birth history of Seventh Lady and Ninth Brother can't be hidden from anyone who cares.

It's just that a thousand birds in the forest are not as good as a bird in hand.If the Elder Master is really willing to spend money to get through the joints, the family may not turn a blind eye to it.

If Ninth Brother can transform into a legitimate son, it will naturally save a little bit of twists and turns when inheriting the family business in the future.

The second uncle of my family smiled so happily, he must understand this truth.

She exhaled slowly.

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved by the identity of the prostitute.

Everyone is a daughter, so the concubine's daughter insists on being taller than the concubine's daughter. When she gets married in the future, she can bring a few taels of dowry. If people go to high places, who wouldn't be tempted?
It's just that the Second Wife, who is eyeing him covetously, will not be able to accomplish this and whether it will cause more twists and turns, but it's hard to say...

Fifth Lady looked at Seventh Lady, and whispered to Sixth Lady, "The most important thing is that she has a lot of things on her mind. When the sisters are joking around, she even puts on a sad face."

The sixth lady hurriedly gave the fifth lady a nod, "Fifth sister, just stop saying a few words, you won't be dumb!"

Fifth Lady snorted, but didn't say much.

Qin Niangzi came back to her senses with a quick wit.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

In the past few years, she has been very popular, and now she has been promoted to the name of wife...

The jealousy and fear of the third lady and the fourth lady are inevitable.

Why is there no sourness in Wu Niangzi's words?
The rest of the dowry for the eldest wife originally belonged to Wu Niangzi alone, but now it has to be distributed to Qi Niangzi and Ninth Brother...

She quickly winked at Liu Niangzi.

Liu Niangzi smiled and opened the topic, "Mrs. Zhang has gotten closer to our family in the past few years. If I didn't know that Mr. Zhang didn't intend to become an official, I would still be..."

Sure enough, Wu Niangzi was aroused.

"It's difficult for Mrs. Zhang. Mr. Zhang has no fame and a year's land tax is quite a lot. Although he has been very close to our two families, the king of Hades is no better than a brat, and we have no way to help in this matter." Wu Niangzi usually I have gone out with the eldest wife a lot, and indeed I have seen a lot and know a lot of secrets. "After all, every move is watched by many people... A few years ago, when the Wang family was still alive, it was always sent under the name of the Wang family. Now that the Wang family has fallen again, although the eldest son has a reputation as a scholar, he still doesn't care about things. And married a powerful grandma, who said that the land in the name of the eldest son is the property distributed to the eldest son, and they are arguing about splitting up... Mrs. Zhang is also very angry!"

Discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of a rich family, and disputes over property between the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law happened from time to time, and the young ladies were all used to it.

The sixth lady snorted, "This grandma has a scheming heart. I heard that among the three young masters of the Zhang family, the second young master is the smartest. I am afraid that in the future, the east wind will not be able to overwhelm the west wind, and the parents-in-law will also be biased... If you separate the family early, you will still be able to survive." In the light of the eldest son, share more of the family property."

They are all famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, and Qin Niangzi is also clear about the Zhang family's affairs.

Although it is not as extravagant as the Yang family, it is also a rare and wealthy family, with more than one hundred thousand taels of family affairs, no matter what.

Otherwise, how could Mr. Zhang leisurely study for pleasure, claiming to be a wine celestial being "the emperor can't get on the boat"?What confidence does Mrs. Zhang have to associate with wealthy families like the Li family and the Yang family.

Although there is a powerful daughter-in-law now, making the Zhang family a little embarrassed for a while, it's just for now.

The marriage that Fourth Yiniang chose for Third Lady showed her sophisticated vision.

Speaking of which, if the Wang family hadn't acted cautiously, how could the third lady have been wasted until today?
No matter how good the vision of fourth aunt was, she couldn't win against fate's thigh.
