The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 49

Then we have to accumulate over time, and the accumulation of less becomes more!

However, it's not that you can win the favor of the eldest wife just by showing off your intelligence and sophistication.

At the same time, we must try our best to express ourselves, but we must not go too far and become self-defeating...

Every time I am called by the eldest wife to speak, I feel like I am in a knockout match. I have to figure out the opponent's mind, and I also have to figure out the eldest wife's mind.

really tired.

"It's for Second Sister's dowry!"

She wasn't pretending to be confused.

Since it's hard for the eldest wife to speak, let her speak.

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to admit this embarrassing fact myself.Talking to Xiaoqi is always easy.

"I have never seen such a lowly person!" I couldn't help but complained a few times. "The money is my money, and the daughter is also his own daughter. If you give more, you will lose face. People who don't know think that he will count the dowry from the main courtyard all day long. It's a good thing that the third sister is not at home. Otherwise, I don’t know where to put my face.”

No need to work hard, Qin Niangzi has a look of contempt on her face.

The dowry is the eldest wife's private property, even if she likes to throw it in the water, the elder will not say anything.

It was nothing more than spending his wife's money back then to get addicted, to be justified, and to forcibly regard the private house in the main courtyard as his own private house.

"The Sun family is not an ordinary family!" She had a clear attitude, "Besides, it's not like the second sister has no sisters..."

The second and third sons of the Sun family also said that they were relatives of superior families.

The eldest wife immediately felt that she had found a confidant.

"That's right! My mother's family is far away in Suzhou, and my uncles are all busy people... If you don't have any money, what can you say in the Sun family." She looked a little excited. "It's not that I'm partial to my own child. The first wife's husband's family only has so much land, and if you spend more time with her, will she marry in the past, or will the Li family come to marry? How much food can you eat with a big belly..."

Judging from what the eldest wife said, I am afraid that the elder master had a conflict with the eldest wife over the third lady's dowry.

Seventh Lady couldn't help frowning.

This is weird.

In the mansion, there is no impenetrable wall.It has been more than a month since the eldest wife revealed to her that there has been a change in the marriage of the third lady.

Even if the eldest wife only told herself, the elder should tell fourth aunt about this, right?How come now, Fourth Aunt is still focused on the dowry.

She raised her own questions.

"Father's favoritism towards Sifang, we also see it... Why don't we talk to her in private about such a big matter."

The eldest lady sneered.

"Do you think he really loves Sifang?"

After all, they are husband and wife for many years. When it comes to the elder, the eldest wife is very confident.

Seventh Lady was a little puzzled.

Isn't the old man special enough for Sifang?

"I, the mistress, take care of all the big and small things in the inner courtyard," the eldest wife said in a faint voice. "If the inner courtyard is too quiet, he will feel uncomfortable."

Although the elder has the Yang family as the backing, their branch is thousands of miles away from the main family, and the relationship in the past is not that close.

The wife is strong and the husband is weak.

If you don't help the fourth aunt to make some troubles for the eldest wife, the eldest wife will inevitably boss her around and make her proud.

Seventh Lady was speechless for a moment.

The Eldest Master's worries were definitely not groundless, just by looking at the Eldest Wife's attitude towards Jiu Yiniang, one could tell that she had an unforgiving temperament.

He brought a large amount of dowry here at Weishi again...

There is Yan Song in the world, and there are people like Grand Master.

"However, when it comes to the marriage of children, I, the mistress, is the one who decides." The eldest lady stopped short.

Seventh Lady already showed a look of understanding.

A while ago, Fourth Yiniang was daring to obey and obey, but she saw that the eldest wife was going to leave home to celebrate her birthday, and her chance was coming.

Now, for his own benefit, the Eldest Master brought the third lady's marriage back to the original point, but the Eldest Wife has no reason to go out in the short term.

Fourth aunt of course has to put down her airs and serve the eldest wife wholeheartedly... On the surface, she will never fight against the eldest wife again.

When the time comes, who should the Eldest Master turn to to give the Eldest Wife eye drops?Could it be the three Huanshawu sisters who don't even have any heirs and are like floating weeds?
She exchanged glances with the eldest lady, but she didn't talk much about the elder's motives.

It is not up to outsiders to comment on matters between husband and wife.

"Since my mother knows what to do, Xiaoqi has no other good solution. Let Sifang be more proud. When the third aunt brings the second aunt to Beijing, she will release the news, and the fourth aunt will naturally know how to act. She lowered her eyes and turned the topic back to Fourth Aunt.

Speaking of the second wife, the eldest wife became irritable again.

Qin Niangzi mentioned the second wife, of course, not aimlessly.

Although the second wife looked repentant, how could the eldest wife believe her rashly?

The interest alliance between her and Fourth Aunt had just disintegrated not long ago, but because of Third Aunt's marriage, it was back to a situation where they could join hands.

If the second wife doesn't leave, the eldest wife really doesn't dare to break the dream of the fourth aunt.

"Your second aunt sent a message a few days ago, saying that second uncle is going to come back for the New Year this year, and I'm afraid he won't go to Beijing until after the New Year!" She was a little annoyed.

Seventh Lady frowned.

It's about Brother Nine. Among these things, Seventh Lady is of course most concerned about the date of the second wife's going to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, the second master actually resorted to dragging words.

As an Hanlin, he is always by your side, how could he leave his post without authorization and go back to Suzhou for the New Year?

The second lady is going to get married in Beijing again in the twelfth lunar month, so she must live in the second master's house... This delays time again.

Besides, there are three young masters in the second room, and several concubines living in Beijing, will they bring them back home for the New Year?Bring it back, or go back after a year?This is also a bit too much trouble.

If the cousins ​​were left in Suzhou, countless things would happen again.

At this moment, she tasted the annoyance of the eldest wife.

Internal and external turmoil, there is no day at ease.

Seeing the shadow passing over Qin Niangzi's face, the eldest lady felt a lot more relieved.

That's how people are. If you know that there is a second person who is uncomfortable, your own discomfort is nothing.

"Forget it, I can only see the tricks." She sighed. "The most important thing is to send the second sister out of the house safely. For other things, I will take care of them after the Chinese New Year."

Seventh Lady nodded her head, she couldn't help caring, "Is it just the mother-in-law of the Sun family who came to pay her respects?"

"Well, it is said that Young Master Sun will arrive in Suzhou in a few days." The eldest wife knew that the Sun family's mother-in-law had just left, and Seventh Lady might not be able to receive the news, "I handed over the dowry list."

It turned out that the order was handed over.

Seventh Lady was stunned.

Xianxiufang was written on the list, which meant that she must accompany her out. On this matter, the eldest wife did not want to quarrel with the elder anymore.

She smiled happily, got up and said, "Then Xiaoqi is leaving."

The eldest lady nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't tell your second sister about this."

With the temperament of the second lady, if she knew that her dowry would cause disputes between her parents, she would rather not have those shops.

Seventh Lady smiled, "Mother, don't worry, even though Xiaoqi is clumsy, she also knows what to say and what not to say."

There was a lot of casualness in the words of the two of them.

The eldest wife was also amused, "Damn girl, why are you giving in to me." She watched Qinianzi exit the Xili room with a smile.

Mama Wang didn't speak until now, and then she bowed her head and went forward to exchange tea for the eldest wife.

"This child..." the eldest lady murmured.

Mother Wang's heart tightened.

The sons and daughters of the main courtyard, it is said that Seventh Lady has the most friendship with her.

The matter of interceding for love that day... Ms. Wang has always remembered it in her heart.

Although in her capacity, she can't help Qiniangzi anything, but she can't help but feel more concerned.

"I think it's a good one." She smiled and said, "At such a young age, you're already exquisite. If you grow up a bit, you'll be much more at ease."

The eldest lady didn't think about it.

"I'm thinking about it." She said thoughtfully, "This Xianxiu workshop should be left to Brother Jiu's property... Xiao Qi doesn't care about it at all?"

Ms. Wang didn't answer, and it's hard for her to answer this question.

"Even if Xiaoqi doesn't miss it, I can't tell whether Brother Nine will miss it..." After a while, the eldest lady added slowly. "Feng Jia's rudeness to Qin Niangzi...is what Brother Jiu told Li Chun."
