Chapter 51 Wife and Concubine
"Wenhui, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Zhigao came to Shuangxin Courtyard as usual. When he entered the courtyard, he found that his concubine did not greet him at the door as usual, so he quietly walked into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw that his concubine was in a trance and motionless.
"The master is here!"
When Aunt Lin saw Yan Zhigao, she immediately put away her worried expression and greeted him with a smile.
Yan Zhigao took her hand and asked with concern: "What are you thinking about? Why didn't you notice that I was here?"
Aunt Lin shook her head and said bitterly: "I don't think about anything. Even if I think about it, I am just thinking wildly."
Yan Zhigao asked again: "What happened?"
Aunt Lin was hesitant to speak.
Yan Zhigao sighed and patted Aunt Lin's hand: "I know that you have been wronged during this period. I will tell you to my mother. You are so knowledgeable and reasonable. After she understands your kindness, she will naturally
I will accept you."
"As for Daohua...this girl has been spoiled by her mother. I will teach her well in the future. However, she is still young, so don't take it to heart if she says anything unpleasant.
”
Hearing this, Aunt Lin's eyes immediately turned red: "I am just a concubine. No matter she is an old lady or a young girl, no matter what they do to me, I will suffer it and I should suffer it."
"But... Yishuang and Wenbin are flesh and blood of the Yan family, and they should not be affected by me."
Yan Zhigao heard something in Aunt Lin's words and said comfortingly: "Didn't I tell you that our family doesn't have the same rules as those of a wealthy family like the first-born and the second-born? In my heart, Wenbin and Yishuang are the same as Wenxiu and the others, no.
They will be wronged."
Aunt Lin looked touched: "Wen Hui knows how much I love my son, and knows that I will treat everyone equally, but that's not what I'm worried about."
Yan Zhigao was confused: "Then what are you worried about?"
Aunt Lin looked at Yan Zhigao, and then she seemed to have mustered up the courage to speak: "Big girl... Big girl seems to dislike Wenbin and Yishuang."
Yan Zhigao frowned: "What did Daohua do again?"
Aunt Lin hurriedly said: "It's nothing. Just today, Wenbin and Yishuang went to Zheguiyuan with the cakes sent by their younger brother, and invited several girls and young masters from the family to come over and write poems. The eldest girl also went, but...
.... As soon as she heard that Yi Shuang and the others had brought the pastries, she threw them away."
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao's face immediately showed an angry look.
Aunt Lin looked at his face and said cautiously: "After that, the eldest girl left Zheguiyuan and went to the old lady's place. Then she invited the young master at home to eat the wine lees. However, Yi Shuang and Wen Bin
Not invited."
Speaking of this, Aunt Lin's tone was a little more urgent: "I'm not thinking about the eldest girl's things, but both Yishuang and Wenbin treat the eldest girl as their sister. If she treats her so obviously differently now, I'm afraid it will affect their relationship in the future.
of brotherhood."
Yan Zhi stood up abruptly and said angrily: "I'm going to the main courtyard. You can take Yi Shuang and Wen Bin to have dinner by yourself later."
Seeing Yan Zhigao leave angrily, Aunt Lin showed a smile of success.
Yan Yiyi, you have embarrassed me so much in front of the Yan family. This New Year, you will never have an easy time!
"Sister!"
At this moment, Master Lin walked in.
Aunt Lin was surprised: "Brother, why are you here?"
Master Lin: "You have been bullied, can I come and see?" The county government is so big, and although the front yard and back yard are separated, you can always find out what happened.
Aunt Lin said in her heart: "It's just a little girl's movie. Don't worry, your sister can still handle it."
Mr. Lin really shook his head: "Although the eldest daughter of the Yan family is not very old, she is extremely intelligent and has a very outstanding appearance and bearing. Sister, you must not be careless. Moreover, there is a Bodhisattva, Mrs. Yan, behind her.
”
Aunt Lin sneered: "So what if you are smart? With such a wild temper, it's hard to please others. You don't know that that day, she not only mocked me, but even the master scolded me. At that time, my face turned red with anger.
If this happens a few more times, I guarantee that she will completely lose my heart."
"A daughter who is not valued by the master, even if she is protected by an old lady, what kind of trouble can she make?"
Master Lin knew that his sister was very angry this time. After thinking about it, he said, "Sister, if you really want the eldest girl to completely lose my heart, what you are doing now is not enough."
"Anything at home can be easily solved as long as you don't go out. Only if the eldest girl provokes people outside, the adults will severely punish the eldest girl in order to preserve their reputation."
Aunt Lin's eyes lit up: "What can you do?"
Master Lin: "I will take care of this matter. Sister, please don't do anything else, lest the old lady will have any objections to you again."
Aunt Lin sighed and rubbed her forehead: "I don't know how to please the old lady?"
Mr. Lin smiled and said: "Sister, you and I are here. It all depends on people. The old lady will like you. Aren't the people in the front and back yards of the county government vying to praise you over the years?"
Aunt Lin also laughed, and then snorted coldly: "I haven't had a smooth life since the big girl came. I really hope this trouble can be solved next year."
"Yes."
Main courtyard.
Yan Zhigao came over angrily. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Li checking the account books, with an indescribable tired look on her brows. She looked surprised when she saw him.
"Why do you want to come here?"
Yan Zhigao glanced at the thick account books on the table, and felt a rare trace of guilt in his heart.
He is tired from working at the county government office, but his wife is also tired from taking care of the housework.
That's all, for the sake of his wife, he won't care about his eldest daughter for the time being.
He knew in his heart that back then, his wife was reluctant to leave her eldest daughter in her hometown, but out of filial piety and to take care of the backyard for him, she still held back her tears and agreed.
He is also responsible for the eldest daughter's temperament.
Now that the eldest daughter has just returned to her wife, she has to be pampered. It will probably take a long time to bring her temper back.
Yan Zhigao sat down with a straight face: "Why, I can't come back?"
Mrs. Li put down the account book in her hand and said with a smile: "The Yan family belongs to the master. I can go wherever I want." After saying that, she glanced at the sky outside and found that it was already a little dark.
"It's already evening, and time flies when we calculate the accounts." After saying that, he put away the account books and looked at Yan Zhigao, "Master, are you having dinner in the main courtyard tonight?"
Yan Zhigao nodded expressionlessly.
Mrs. Li smiled and her tone seemed a little lighter: "Then I'll ask someone to serve the food right away."
During the meal, it was just Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li.
Yan Zhigao: "Where are Wen Xiu and the others?"
Mrs. Li: "The old lady asked me to eat in her courtyard."
A quarter of an hour ago, Mrs. Yan knew that her eldest son had taken the initiative to return to the main courtyard. She was worried that her grandchildren would disturb the newly reconciled couple, so she left him alone.
Yan Zhigao nodded: "Wenxiu and the others are not in class now, so they should spend more time with the escorts. By the way, Daohua said that Daohua sent wine grains to everyone today?"
Mrs. Li glanced at Yan Zhigao, her expression became a little lighter, and she shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I didn't make much wine grains and rice flowers. I said I would save them for the Chinese New Year. But today the old lady saw her grandchildren going to pay their respects.
I felt happy, so I gave them a bowl to drink."
Originally, the old lady didn't plan to give it to all the grandchildren, but as soon as Yan Wenxiu brought the bowls, Yan Wenjie and several others arrived, so she couldn't be too partial and could only scoop out a bowl for everyone.
As for Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin, they didn't drink. That was because Mrs. Yan clearly expressed her displeasure with Aunt Lin. The two of them felt grievances about their mother and didn't go to Songheyuan very often, so they didn't drink.
.
Yan Zhigao looked surprised, obviously not expecting his mother to be involved.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li's face became even darker.
She said, how could the young master, who had never lied to her before, take the initiative to come to the main courtyard at this time? It turned out that he had just turned a deaf ear.
Mrs. Li felt a little cold in her heart and said softly: "I heard that the lees tastes very good. It's a pity that even a mother like me couldn't get a bowl to drink. After all, I didn't raise her by my side, so the relationship is not deep."<
/p>
Hearing this, Ping Xiao, who was standing at the table and waiting, quickly glanced into the inner room. At this moment, a small white porcelain jar was placed there.
The jar is filled with mouth-watering lees.
There is something in the madam’s words, the last sentence is mocking the master!
Sure enough, Yan Zhigao's face became a little unnatural.
Even a girl in Pingxiao can understand it, but he, the client, understands it even more clearly. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he can only lower his head and eat.
Mrs. Li: "Master, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I have to hurry up and read the account books. You can go to Shuangxinyuan in the evening. Aunt Lin is my concubine. At this time, she should play her role of serving others."
"Pa!"
The sound of chopsticks falling to the ground was heard.
Yan Zhigao stared at his docile wife in shock, as if he couldn't believe she would say such a thing.
The role of serving people?!!!
Madam, she treats Wenhui as a member of the family...
