The fifth lady looked at her and her smile became even sweeter.

She sat next to the wife and pulled the sleeves of the wife: Mom, you didn't see it just now. Brother Jin is so cute like that. After taking two steps, she looked back at the fourth sister-in-law and hugged him, but he wouldn't let her go.

I held my hand to let him go, but I was afraid

Children who are just learning to walk are like this. The wife laughed after hearing this and waved to Brother Jin, "Come, Brother Jin, come to grandma. Then someone removed the Kang table and put Brother Jin on the kang."

superior.

At first, Brother Jin stood there and did not dare to move. He turned his head to look for Eleven Niang. When he saw Eleven Niang standing by the kang with a smile, he immediately threw himself into Eleven Niang's arms. Eleven Niang hugged him for a while.

, pointed to the madam: go find grandma.

Brother Jin stuck to his mother's side.

Madam Tai looked around and took the sapphire blue cloisonné enamel mirror box under the kang table to coax brother Jin: Come, come to grandma.

Brother Jin stared at the mirror box for a long time, then staggered over.

Madam Tai hugged Brother Jin before he could reach her arms and kissed Brother Jin twice on the cheek. Brother Jin grabbed the mirror box in Madam Tai's hand.

The madam then pointed to Eleven Niang: Go to your mother.

Brother Jin didn't hesitate, he stumbled into Eleven Niang's arms, and raised the mirror box in his hand, as if telling his mother that I got something good.

Eleven Niang smiled and touched the top of her son's head and pointed to the madam: "Give the mirror box to grandma."

Hearing this, Brother Jin squeezed the mirror case tightly and looked at Eleven Niang but didn't move his feet.

Mother, do you know who is the most powerful now? The fifth lady laughed so hard that her branches were trembling. Our sister Xin just wanted to touch your porcelain and tin pot. But our brother Jin couldn’t reach the thing in his hand.

Let it go. She said coquettishly, "You can never say that our sister Xin is untouchable again."

Mrs. Tai laughed loudly: Never say it again, never say it again. She went to hug brother Jin again. This one was like a wild goose plucking its feathers.

Brother Jin was sitting in Mrs. Tai's arms, carefully opening the mirror box.

Everyone laughed. No one glanced at the third lady. The third lady stood alone, wanting to laugh but unable to laugh, looking even more stubborn.

Since Mrs. Tai promised that the third wife would move out sooner or later, and had endured it for so many years, why should she have trouble with the third wife at this time? But the fifth wife is currently fighting with the third wife. If the eleventh mother takes the initiative to fight with the third wife,

If Madam talks to you, wouldn't it mean that Madam Five is stepping on her to be a good person?

She had no choice but to wink at Wujiaren, signaling her and the third lady to say hello.

The fifth lady just pretended not to see it and continued to entertain herself with colorful clothes in front of the dowager: Mom, if I’m to blame, it’s because your things are so rare. Not to mention that these grandchildren’s eyes light up when they come. Even we are here too.

I was thinking secretly in my heart, making us all look like people who had never seen the world. I hugged the wife's arm affectionately, mother, winter will begin in a few days, and I need to wear ear warmers. Please put the warm ears in the warehouse.

Open, give us some skins

Seeing that Mrs. Du was missing, she pretended to be helpless and said to Mama Du, who was standing beside her with a smile, "It's definitely not good to be attentive for nothing."

Mother Du covered her sleeves and smiled.

A little maid came in and asked where the lunch was.

Everyone gathered around the lady and went to the East Room.

The third lady followed dejectedly at the end.

When the Madam sat down, the Fifth Madam pretended to be strange and said: Hey, why haven't you seen the eldest mistress?

The third lady said nothing, lowered her head, and looked very ugly.

The wife didn't even look at the third lady and said: She sprained her hand yesterday and asked the doctor to come and see it this morning. She is nursing it at home.

"Oh," the fifth lady said in surprise, "Why did you sprain your hand? This 100-day stretch of muscles and bones won't let you go through the New Year and you won't be able to live in peace. This is the first New Year for the eldest young lady to marry into our family." Then she said to the third lady, "Three

Sister-in-law, I heard that Panax notoginseng is the best for treating injuries. Why not use Panax notoginseng to make chicken soup to replenish the health of our eldest mistress?

Bar

Northern ginseng and southern Panax notoginseng are both very valuable medicinal materials. Yanjing is located in the north. It is not uncommon for wealthy families to have two ginsengs, but it is rare for them to treasure Panax notoginseng. The fifth lady said this to clearly embarrass the third lady.

The veins on the third lady's temples are popping out: it's just a sprained hand, not a broken one. The swelling will subside and it will be fine in a few days. It won't take a hundred days.

The Fifth Madam raised her eyes and was about to say something, but the Dowager glanced at the Fifth Madam gently.

She couldn't help but be frightened, how could she dare to talk to her, so she hurriedly lowered her head and helped the madam arrange it.

Eleven Niang smiled and said, "I happen to have some Sanqi there, but not much. I will take it to see the eldest mistress later."

The madam nodded slightly and took the chopsticks.

Eat without talking, sleep without talking.

Everyone ate in silence. Mrs. Du told Mother Du: Go to the warehouse to get a ginseng and a pack of Panax notoginseng. I also went to see the eldest mistress.

The tone was calm, but it made the third lady very uncomfortable. She whispered: How dare you trouble your mother?

The madam got up and went to the west room where the banquet was taking place before she finished speaking.

The maidservant and the mother-in-law hurriedly followed him to serve him. Not to be outdone, the fifth lady also brought the people around her with her. The eleventh lady thought that the second lady was going too far, so she ignored him and carried Brother Jin to the dowager's place.

The third lady's face turned white and red. She stood there alone for a while, lowered her head, and went to the west room.

The imperial doctor had already come to see her. Fang's sprained hands were hanging on her chest with a sweat towel, and the little maid was feeding her lunch.

Knowing that the Madam had come to see her, she was startled for a moment, and hurriedly asked the little maid to help her put on her shoes, and prepared to go out to greet her. Who knew that the Madam had already walked in quickly. She hurriedly bowed with her knees bent.

The madam held up her good hand: Why were you so careless?

The tone of regret made Fang's eyes well up with tears.

It was the grandson's daughter-in-law who accidentally led the wife to sit down on the big kang near the window, while the maid cleverly went to put away the kang table.

"No, no need, Mrs. Madam said, you eat yours. I'll just come and see you. Then I looked at her for a while, and she looked pretty good, so I felt relieved. Then I asked Mama Du to bring the medicinal materials to Fang. I

I brought some ginseng and panax notoginseng over here.

Is there a mother around you who understands pharmacology? If not, ask Mother Du how to use it.

Mrs. Fang thanked her profusely.

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, patting Mrs. Fang's hand affectionately: Your mother-in-law will be returning to Shanyang in two days. If you need anything, just ask your fourth aunt. Don't come in just because you are a new daughter-in-law, like this

It's like hiding and tucking it in every time. That will lead to suffering.

Just yesterday, Mrs. Tai pretended not to understand the third lady’s request to return to Shanyang, but today she suddenly said that she wanted the third lady to return to Shanyang.

The third lady couldn't help but moan secretly.

Yesterday, I just gave Mrs. Fang a little look, and today I was sent back to Shanyang by the Madam. Wouldn’t it make those maids and women think that the Madam was supporting Mr. Fang? But if I didn’t go, I wouldn’t know that there was someone else.

There is no such opportunity.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that Mrs. Fang would pay such attention to her.

The fifth lady was slightly calm.

The Madam was very displeased with the fact that she had stirred up trouble just now. She was thinking about how to make the Madam happy later. Now it seems that the Madam is still very dissatisfied with the Third Madam in her heart, but she just doesn't want the conflict between their sisters-in-law to surface. In the future,

As long as I keep a certain degree of control, I think the Madam would also be happy to see the Third Madam suffer.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang's expression was a little complicated.

Yesterday she sprained her hand, and her mother-in-law's words showed that she had done it on purpose. She was so aggrieved that she barely drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and was going to go to greet the dowager as usual, but her mother-in-law said strangely:

She's already swollen like this, and she still runs in front of Mrs. Taijia. Wouldn't it make Mrs. Tai sad?

She explained for a long time, but her mother-in-law just sneered, waved her sleeves and walked out the door. She choked on her chest.

When I got married, my mother once said that although my mother-in-law behaved in a disorganized manner, her happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were all on her face, and she was much easier to get along with than those who hide their knives in their smiles. In addition, my mother-in-law has elders and sisters-in-law, and she is stingy with others, so there must be a relationship between the sisters-in-law.

It's a matter of face and heart. Let her serve Mrs. Hou well, be filial to Mrs. Yongpinghou and the Lord of Danyang County, and be generous when encountering weddings and weddings with her two aunts, especially during the holidays.

Make shoes and socks, flatter and try your best to please the two aunts. If something happens, others will think only of your good and bad things about your mother-in-law. When the time comes, if you continue to pretend to be weak, Yongpinghou is a royal relative.

A family with meritorious service for generations is not a small family. Even if your mother-in-law is dissatisfied, she can only find your fault in the rules. As long as you abide by the rules, there is nothing your mother-in-law can do against you.

But after they got married, her husband treated her tenderly and considerately. Although her mother-in-law was outspoken, she did not ask her for a dowry. She also accepted all the gifts on the day they recognized her. She thought her mother was making a fuss, but she didn't expect that it was herself.

It's too simple.

The mother-in-law could listen to what the fifth aunt said, but she didn't even ask her a question. She just slapped her in front of the maid when she came back. If she used her dowry as a favor in the future, I'm afraid her mother-in-law would do more than just slap her in the face.

Now the mother-in-law went to the madam in anger and didn't come back for a long time. She didn't know what she said to the madam. If the madam misunderstood her because of this, what would she do in the future?

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, where would she be able to eat?

The maid had no choice but to persuade her earnestly. She was also afraid that her mother-in-law would say something unpleasant if she found out that she had not eaten lunch, so she reluctantly served the bowl.

She never expected that what she was waiting for was these words from the Madam.

Mrs. Fang looked at Mrs. Tai uneasily, not knowing what to say.

The mother-in-law was worried that her father-in-law would be in office alone, and what she was thinking about was how to get the madam to agree to her mother-in-law going to Shanyang. Now that the madam has agreed, if she stops her, her mother-in-law will definitely resent her for being meddlesome. If she doesn't stop her, it will be her fault.

Could it be that I have betrayed my husband, so what should I think if he finds out?

In the midst of the dilemma, Mrs. Tai stood up with a smile, stretched out her hand for Mrs. Fifth to help her, and said, "You go ahead and eat. I'm getting old, so I have to go back and take a nap."

Went straight out the door.
