Chapter 125: Distinguish distance from near, know honor and disgrace (please vote)
Wang Yang had anticipated the reactions of various people, but he didn't take it to heart. He couldn't socialize twice, so he just watched it for fun.
When her husband takes office, she can reduce these social interactions under the pretext of "husband is away and it is inconvenient to come and go".
The so-called relatives were mostly those who clung to the camp. Wang Yang felt a little more contemptuous and did not take these people to heart.
But when she saw Wang Ning's eyes, Wang Yang's heart still trembled.
Dao Chi didn't come. She was a little surprised by this, but she thought it was expected.
Surprisingly, Twelve Fang went back and forth to the capital, bringing something for Shun Niang, and this time he also brought back a gift from Shun Niang to her mother's family. It is only proper etiquette for a Taoist idiot to come to the door and say thank you.
Unexpectedly, when Rong Niang got married and San Lang was away, Dao Chi became estranged from this place. Although she had only met the child a few times, she could see that he was a decent person. In the past two years since his birth, he has been here ten times every time.
The second wife was either held by the Sanlang, or the husband sent someone to find her, but never came to the door. Today is not a serious wedding or wedding, but a concubine ceremony. The Taoist idiot is still young, so there is no need to come over.
Thinking in her mind, Wang Yang couldn't help but look at Wang Ning again, and she happened to be facing Wang Ning's eyes.
There was no sarcasm on Wang Ning's face, and there was no so-called "pity and sympathy" in her eyes, but she hesitated to speak.
Wang Yang was confused, but it was not the time to ask questions in front of everyone.
Although it is said that wine is served to entertain guests, taking a concubine is just taking a concubine, but a small sedan chair is needed to carry someone into the house. If the maid is being carried as an aunt, even the small sedan chair is saved.
Feng was sent to another hospital in the morning and picked up again in the afternoon, just to be more dignified.
Ms. Feng was helped into the new house wearing a pink coat, skirt and hijab.
Wang Qinghong was waiting for guests in the front yard, and was afraid that he would not be able to come back until dark. Miss Chu found out that her cousin had arrived, and was afraid that she would be hungry, so she packed some snacks for her.
The little maid who was waiting at Feng's side also woke up and found an excuse to leave the house, leaving the house to Feng and Miss Chu.
Miss Chu held Feng's hand and choked with sobs: "Cousin, if I had known this, it would be better not to leave the capital. Now that my cousin has become a concubine, she still has to travel thousands of miles to a wild land."
Feng said with a smile: "What's wrong? The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump. Although life in Beijing is good, there is no freedom."
From the time their homes were confiscated and questioned, and they were considered slaves, they had no choice but to "be chosen."
Now being able to be Wang Qinghong's concubine is not so difficult to accept. Although Wang Qinghong is in his early forties, he looks like he is in his thirties.
Wang Yang and Feng had already made an agreement. During the years when Wang Qinghong took office, all matters in the official residence were entrusted to Feng, and she would not interfere. Also in order to thank her for her hard work in those years, when Wang Qinghong resigned, she would give
Mrs. Feng prepared a large private house.
Regarding topics such as children, Wang Yang didn't talk about it, and Feng didn't ask about it either.
There are two legitimate sons in the twelfth house, and if there are multiple legitimate sons, the family property will be divided into three parts.
Mrs. Feng thought Mrs. Wang Yang would give her a "tonic", but there was no movement. Later she realized that if Mrs. Wang Yang really wanted to guard against the concubine, she would not guard against her. After all, if she wanted to have a child, she would have given birth to her by herself.
If you don't go out, just change your life.
This only makes sense if Wang Qinghong no longer impregnates women.
Feng wanted to understand this. Although she was surprised, she was not too sad. She saw that Wang Yang was a very arrogant person. Even though she was a woman, she was also a person who did what she said. She was not dusted, but was classified as an official.
If you get a home, a status, good clothes and good food, you should just be grateful to God. Thinking about anything else is just asking for extravagance.
After seeing the new aunt, everyone had a meal and left one after another.
Wang Ning stayed behind and did not leave in a hurry. She said softly to Wang Yang: "I have something to tell you. If it's cheaper, let's find a quiet place to talk."
Although her voice was soft, her expression was solemn. Wang Yang's heart sank, and she hurriedly ordered Aunt Xu to lead Wang Yang back to the upper room. She sent away several elders in the clan, her sisters-in-law, and other female family members.
The younger generation's female relatives sent the stewardess to see him off, then turned around and came back.
Seeing Mrs. Wang Yang come back, Mrs. Wang Ning did not hesitate. She thanked her for bringing things back and forth from the Twelfth House, and then directly talked about the incident in October when Mrs. Wang Cui called the Taoist to come over because of illness, and what she said about "the main water in the north."
should be avoided”.
"Perhaps the old lady in your mansion is just being kind, but my grandson is very strong-willed. He decided to take the imperial examination two years ago, and he is afraid that he will live up to his good intentions." After saying that, Wang Yang said calmly.
Mrs. Wang Yang looked moved, her face felt hot, her heart was extremely angry, and she was speechless for her mother-in-law.
Perhaps in Wang Cui's mind, this move was just to dote on her grandson, but if it really spread among the clan, the one with the greatest influence would be Sanlang. When she suppressed her concubine and grandson, the old lady herself was not sure about her grandson's future in the imperial examination.
Doesn't this prove that Saburo has a false reputation?
This isn't about loving Saburo, it's about putting a shit basin on Saburo's head.
Besides, for Waijiufang, generations of ancestors and grandsons have read readings as their karma, and Taoist idiots have received births at a young age, which is when their future is bright. If they say "avoid the north", the purpose of suppression is too great.
It's more obvious. Are we all fools?
Mrs. Wang Yang didn't even have room to defend her mother-in-law, so she could only say: "Sanlang always praises Erlang, and when Erlang always gets his name on the gold list, aunt, just wait and enjoy the blessings."
Wang Ning glanced at her and confirmed that she was uninformed. Her expression softened slightly and she said: "Erlang's future is good and everything else is good, and I am an old woman to worry about, so there is no need for relatives to worry about it. It's not that I'm rigid, it's just Erlang."
I'm young, so I can't easily comply with any orders from here. If something happens to my family, just look for my old lady."
Wang Yang blushed and said, "This is natural."
Although she was annoyed, her mind was clear. Wang Ning's move was to guard against the Twelve Fangs, fearing that they would cause other troubles and bring bad influence to the Taoists.
She had nothing but admiration for this kindness and concern. All her complaints were directed at her mother-in-law.
After Wang Ning said what was necessary, she stood up and left.
Wang Yang personally sent her to the second door, watched Wang Ning get on the carriage, and then returned to her room with a sullen face.
When the maids and wives saw this, they all held their breath and sighed, thinking that she was unhappy about the new concubine. Aunt Xu even asked considerately if she wanted to prepare a "replenishing soup" for the new concubine.
Wang Yang shook his head and said, "Don't be troublesome."
Aunt Xu advised: "Madam, everyone in this world likes to have children late. Mrs. Feng went to take office with the master, and it would be seven or eight years since she left. It would be fine if she gave birth to a young lady, but it would only be a dowry. If she gave birth to a young son...
…”
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang Yang was a little upset and said, "Mommy, don't nag me about this anymore. Go to the old lady's yard and ask if this will be the case in October."
When she heard that a Taoist idiot was involved, Nanny Xu looked solemn and went out to inquire.
When the news came back, Mrs. Wang Yang immediately darkened her face. Those words that she didn't know what to say, Mrs. Wang Cui didn't just say it quietly to the Taoist idiot, she actually said it in front of Wang Zhen, the clan leader.
The face of Twelfth House is really humiliating...
The Taoist idiot walked around the west city, and remembered the Taoist books he brought back from the palace, as well as "Liu An's Pill", so he went to a grocery store and bought a small piece of graphite with a foot width, and then went to a tofu shop and spent a lot of money.
For one tael of silver, I bought a jar of brine and a jar of soaked soybeans.
That night, Dao Chi gave a demonstration to everyone.
Unexpectedly, instead of being surprised, everyone looked at Dao and smiled stupidly.
Dao Chi blinked and realized, "Has everyone seen making tofu?"
Wang Ning smiled and said: "You are a young child and you find it strange; this is an ordinary thing in the market, and you will see it after you live a long time."
Even though a few of them were not confused by the "dian pill" thing, they were all attracted by the small stone mill and discussed what items in the kitchen needed to be ground.
Later, more than a pound of sesame seeds were found. Dao Chi worked hard and ground the sesame seeds into sesame paste. Two ounces of sesame oil was also produced, and the house was filled with the fragrance of sesame seeds.
Mrs. Wang Ning and Aunt Yan were generous with their praises and praised Dao Chi several times. Although Sister-in-law Sun was not talkative, she also said a few good words when the first two people praised Dao Chi.
Wang Ning thought that today was already the twelfth lunar month and New Year's goods were being prepared, so her grandfather and grandson agreed to go to the street to buy New Year's goods the next day.
The next day, the grandfather and grandson went out and returned with half a cart of New Year's goods, mostly food and other items. For the new clothes for the New Year, they bought cloth as early as November and had them sewn.
The good mood of the grandfather and grandson did not last long, because when they returned home, they heard the news that there was a guest at home.
Wang Qinghong came to the door and had been waiting in the living room for more than half an hour.
Such behavior is already regarded as a bad guest.
The first is to come directly to the door without handing over the message, but to not leave even if the host is not there, as if to blame the host for treating the guests slowly.
Wang Ning's face turned cold and she snorted: "Do you really think that the Twelfth House is easy to bully?"
The Taoist Chi said, "I'm probably here for things to do in October. I'm going to meet the guests with my grandmother."
Wang Ning nodded in agreement and took Dao Chi to the south hall.
Wang Qinghong had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and did not believe that Wang Ning was not there. He only felt that Wang Ning was putting on airs and was dragging him along like this.
But what happened in October was ultimately the fault of the Twelve Fang. If things really happened, the Twelfth Fang would once again become a joke among the clan.
Wang Qinghong cherished his reputation, how could he let the situation develop to this point, and then came to apologize. Seeing the Taoist idiot helping Wang Ning come in without looking at him, Wang Qinghong snorted coldly in his heart.
Although Wang Cui was wrong about what happened in October, the root cause of the problem was Taoist ignorance.
In shame, Wang Qinghong apologized to Daoist Chi and Wang Ning.
Wang Ning couldn't see that his words were not sincere, but that he had no intention of being careless. Seeing that Wang Qinghong had said both soft and hard words, Wang Ning ordered someone to "order soup."
Wang Qinghong felt that he was completely benevolent and felt much more comfortable. Seeing that the Taoist idiot remained silent, he almost scolded him with a straight face, but when he saw Wang Ning from the corner of his eye, he closed his mouth again...
