After so many years, Xiao Xiuzhu and Lin Sanmei sometimes had disputes, but they also got along.

Xiao Xiuzhu may have other concubines, but he respects Lin Sanmei very much and will never let anyone step on Lin Sanmei's head.

Lin Sanmei may be angry that Xiao Xiuzhu has someone else, but she also knows that her natal family lacks confidence. She relies on her relationship with the Zhu family to secure her position as the mistress of the Xiao family in Luanzhou.

Therefore, she was very angry, took good care of her body, prepared herself for pregnancy, and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Xiao family in one fell swoop.

When the child stood upright, Xiao Juren took him over and taught him.

Although Lin Sanmei was reluctant to part with her children, she also knew that Xiao Juren's move was because he valued his grandchildren.

She agreed to Xiao Juren's embrace, but she also discussed with Xiao Xiuzhu, hoping that their first child could receive part of the education from Zhu's Book School.

If there is no way to send the children to Zhujiacun, then let them copy the teaching materials and teach them themselves. If father-in-law Xiao Juren is willing to teach, then fine, but if he is not willing, Xiao Xiuzhu will have to find a way to do it himself.

"I know that the Xiao family also has its own book school and knows how to teach children. I don't want to interfere, but look at my third brother and the others. They were all raised by my aunt..."

Lin Sanmei told Xiao Xiuzhu with an example that the Zhu family's education was not bad, otherwise they would not be able to teach such talents.

"I don't understand those big principles, but I know that if my aunt is so good at teaching children, then her teaching rules will definitely be good, and we can also learn from them."

Xiao Xiuzhu nodded and agreed very much.

Perhaps Xiao Juren was a little hesitant at first, but as the price of Zhu's water increased, he saw that the fourth generation of the Zhu family had also risen, so he no longer forced it and adopted part of the teaching model of Zhu's calligraphy school.

This time Xiao Xiuzhu and Lin Sanmei came to Beijing, and he asked them to bring their children over without saying a word. Firstly, the teaching resources in Beijing were better, secondly Mrs. Zhu was in Beijing, and thirdly, she could also take advantage of the opportunity

This opportunity allows the younger generation below to interact with each other and establish a certain emotional foundation.

As for relatives, if they don’t interact with each other often, they will fade over time and need to be maintained carefully.

Lin Sanmei didn't say anything about Xiao Xiuzhu's concubine, and Ye Yuran didn't say anything either. After listening for a while, she didn't intervene rashly.

In addition to the weird rules of the Zhu family, people at that time really liked three wives and four concubines. It seemed that only in this way could "many children and more happiness" be achieved.

No matter how pregnant Lin Sanmei was, she couldn't make fun of her body, so after giving birth to her third child, she discussed with Xiao Xiuzhu and started contraception.

She avoided this, and the concubine began to give birth.

Although she didn't understand, Ye Yuran understood that this was Lin Sanmei and Xiao Xiuzhu each taking a step back - she wanted to be pregnant and not have children; the Xiao family wanted to have more children and more happiness, so let others have children.

I can't say who is wrong or right, I can only say...

Time can change everything.

Lin Sanmei originally minded this kind of thing, but as time passed, her ambition made her focus on other things, and she didn't mind it so much.

On the contrary, Xiao Xiuzhu was a little unhappy and had trouble with her for a while.

It's funny to say that the concubine asked him to accept it, but when she accepted it, she didn't care. Instead, he became jealous and felt that she didn't care about him anymore.

Lin Sanmei: "..."

You paid for it yourself, do you blame me?

You have something to do, don't I?

There have been quarrels and quarrels, but the relationship between the two has not disappeared. On the contrary, the quarrels have gotten better and better, and they have become more and more clear about what the other party wants.

Those concubines in the backyard really didn't affect Lin Sanmei at all. The reason why Xiao Xiuzhu took them in was also to have children. There was no way, although his family didn't have a throne to inherit, but with a huge family business, someone had to help.

reason.

If the child is a daughter, it can also be used for marriage.

Lin Simei and Yu Shi...

Scholars have a lot of rules. Although there is no rule that a man can take a concubine only when he is forty and has no children, but he is not the kind who likes to give concubines to his sons or daughters-in-law.

It was that Lin Simei was the daughter-in-law of Yu Shi himself, and his mother liked another woman, so she had some objections. Therefore, after Lin Simei married into the family, she was somewhat embarrassed by Mrs. Yu.

Fortunately, Lin Simei was smart, and after establishing a firm foothold in the Yu family, she gradually dispelled Mrs. Yu's dislike of her.

She had also gotten along with Yu Shi, but unlike her third sister, she and Yu Shi would quarrel because a concubine climbed into Yu Shi's bed, which suddenly made Yu Shi realize that Lin Simei didn't love him as much as he thought.

.

Men are probably like this, they always like to push their limits.

When I first got married, I thought it would be enough to marry someone I liked. Later, when I found out that the other person was good, I became greedy and wanted more.

The smarter thing about Lin Simei than Lin Sanmei is that she gave Yu Shi a choice. If he wanted all her sincerity, he could grow up in her aunt's house and practice monogamy...

If that were the case, and he had another woman, she would be sad and cry, and she would not be an impartial and qualified mistress.

Because love is selfish, if you fall in love with the other person, you will no longer be able to tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes.

If he can't give her all his sincerity, then she will keep some of it, and she will still be a good wife, the mother of her children, and even the future matron of the Yu family. She will manage the backyard without letting him get distracted.

It's not that she doesn't like him, it's just that she is not only his wife, but also the mother of his child and his future fighting partner.

She couldn't give him all her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do so well.

Yu Shi calmed down in the study for a month, and finally chose his previous life.

Ye Yuran did not make any comments on the lives of the two of them, but only asked them how they think they are living now? Is this the life they want?

Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei thought about it for a while and felt that it might be a little different from the life they imagined, but most of it was realistic.

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Ye Yuran smiled and said: "Since this is the life you want, then don't worry about what the outside world thinks of you, just live a happy life. What do people want in this life? Isn't it just to be happy for yourself?

Just like your uncle and I, he lives his life and I live mine. Others feel that I am wronged, but now I can do whatever I want. I am the one who makes the decision for the whole family, and how many people can live happily with me.

Where is comfort?"

"Life can't be perfect, just grasp the most important things."

…

After speaking, Ye Yuran stayed with them at home to have dinner before letting them go.

With my own big family and two other big families, the huge yard can hardly accommodate anyone.

Looking at this prosperous population and thinking about the other people still staying in Zhujia Village, Ye Yuran didn't know why, but he thought of the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Of course, her poor garden will definitely not be able to stand up to the Grand View Garden. She just thinks that the large number of people can make a comparison. Mrs. Jia has only two sons, and the heirs of each house are not rich, but sons, grandsons, granddaughters, granddaughters...

…

Add up the seven, seven, eight, or eight, and the whole courtyard is full of people gathered together, which is not a scene of reunion and liveliness.

Even though the Jia family's ending was a bit tragic, I don't know how many generations the Zhu family can survive.

Thinking about the family rules she had set, the clan rules she had urged the clan leaders to set, and the education they were currently setting up, Ye Yuran felt that she had done what she could. If the Zhu family failed again, she would not be blamed.
