"It's a good thing to go to the Lady's Academy. But only the eldest lady, the third lady, and the two legitimate daughters can go. The second lady, the fourth lady, and the fifth lady are just concubines. When we get there, we are not afraid of other people laughing at us.
The government is ignorant. Also, the family’s expenses are so high. Can these five ladies go to a noble women’s college to take classes? Who doesn’t know that the tuition fees of this noble women’s college are shockingly expensive. In addition, there are two men in the family.
Still studying in the Fengguo Academy, can you bear the expense?"
The old lady was very dissatisfied. Her heart was bleeding when she thought of having to prepare such a huge expense for her family! The eldest lady had always felt that she was quite good at housekeeping, so she let her manage the house.
To think that he is such an unreliable person!
Isn't this obviously going to bring ruin to the family?
The eldest lady saw that the old lady was cursing her and did not give her any face, but she did not dare to refute. When the old lady was a little quiet, she slowly said: "How could I not know this? So?
, I also told them that if you pass the exam, the family will not care about your tuition fees, and let the aunts pay for them! The money used is the aunts’ private money, not our family’s money.”
After hearing this, the old lady calmed down her anger. "If you want to treat concubines well and have a reputation of not being jealous, you can do that. In the future, you have to be more careful and don't make everything so messy. People who don't know the truth,
I really think that we don’t understand the rules anymore. The distinction between concubines and concubines is a matter of course. Don’t do something self-righteously, do you understand?”[
The eldest lady nodded. But she was secretly complaining in her heart. The old lady still did not regard her as one of her own. How could she not know that men should go to school first. The two men in their Shangshu Mansion were the most important.
Aunt Xiao’s seedling! It doesn’t matter that Aunt Xiao’s brother Rui is a concubine, her son is the most important thing.
However, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been very tense. The eldest lady also knew what was going on, so she did not dare to say such harsh words.
With the support of Qiuxiang, the old lady returned to her room.
Aunt Cui looked at the eldest lady and said in a low voice: "Now that the old lady is back, it will not be so easy for you to do things."
"She wants to regain power, and I am willing to give this to her. If it were not for my children, I would not want to take over this mess." The eldest lady recalled that she had been working conscientiously since she was married into the family.
Everything he did was good, but what he got in exchange was so many women around his husband and so many children.
Every time she thought of this, she felt a lot of resentment in her heart.
As time goes by, she will no longer know what she is living for. "Aunt Cui, you have been following me since I got married. What do you mean by a woman living like this?"
"Madam, your three children are all your hope. If you take good care of them, life is enough, right?" Aunt Cui also thought about how hard it must have been for Madam to come all the way.
My wife was once a talented woman, but she ended up like this. She can't write poems and songs, and she can't enjoy the simplest emotions in the world. She is trapped in such a life, and she will never be able to get rid of it for the rest of her life. This is indeed very sad.
