[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

Speaking of which, it's just a little bit of parental innocence.

More than three months after Lin Daiyu married into Cui's family, the wife of Cui's family began to urge her, and she would write letters to remind her when she returned to her hometown. Accept it, there is no objection to it.

But seeing that more than half a year passed and there was still no movement, this book became half a month, and the euphemistic words gradually changed, especially after learning that they had been married for so long and had not taken the initiative to give her son a letter. When receiving the news of the two concubines, Mrs. Cui's dissatisfaction deepened.

Some of the words in the letter inevitably came out, teaching Lin Daiyu to be virtuous and considerate, openly and secretly, as a wife, she should know how to be considerate and caring for her husband, be tolerant, and not be jealous...

For a mother-in-law, the appearance and talents of the daughter-in-law are secondary. Firstly, it depends on the family background, but this is only a necessary prerequisite for entering her house. If she cannot give birth to a fat grandson after entering the door... only According to this article, the daughter-in-law is dereliction of duty.

What's more, this daughter-in-law is not only unable to give birth to a fat grandson, but also has a very domineering and jealous temper, which is completely different from that delicate and soft appearance. This is what Mrs. Cui's family can't agree with.

It's just that the mountains are far away, and she has nothing to do for a while. She can only write letters to try to "teach" her daughter-in-law to be a good daughter-in-law, and correct her crooked temperament. Of course, giving birth is also a top priority.

Lin Daiyu was really tormented, and every time she heard the word "family letter", she started to feel a reflexive brain pain, but not only could she not refuse the letter from her mother-in-law, but she had to read it carefully. reply.

Later, there was really no other way, so she had no choice but to deal with it in a perfunctory manner when it came to taking a concubine. After all, her mother-in-law just taught her to be virtuous in a subtle way, and she didn't ask her to take a concubine directly, but the child... After thinking about it, she simply said it Yes, because I drank a lot of medicine in the past two years, I have to regenerate two years later, just in case the drug residues affect the child.

But it turns out that her previous worries really became a reality. Her mother-in-law seemed to believe that there was something wrong with her body, and she was still full of suspicion after all kinds of explanations. In the end, it was so cold that she rushed to the capital in person. , After looking for six or seven doctors to look at it, I finally felt a little relieved.

But although the child's problem was temporarily resolved, with the arrival of this mother-in-law, the matter of taking concubines was really unavoidable. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law faced each other, and this matter was put on the table.

"I know that you young couples have only been married for a few years and it must be the time when the relationship is good, but you have to know that jealousy is one of the seven things. It can be seen that it has never been tolerated by the world. A woman should be virtuous and virtuous , you should be gentle and considerate towards your husband, it is a woman's duty to marry a good concubine for your husband, and to raise your concubine's children, and you must not be narrow-minded and jealous..."

Then I started to lecture my daughter-in-law on "Biography of Lie Nu", "Nv Commandments", "Internal Training", "The Analects of Women" and "Nv Fan Jielu". I started to talk from early in the morning and continued until it was dark. Neither have been used.

No one knows whether her throat hurts or not, Lin Daiyu only knows that her brain is humming and painful, and her whole body is numb.

"Daughter-in-law, have you ever understood?"

Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

The mother-in-law has brought out the seven outs, what else can she say?What's more, her mother-in-law has been telling her the "rules" for a whole day, and she is really afraid that if she shakes her head, her mother-in-law will be angry.

Sure enough, Madam Cui's serious face softened when she nodded her head, and she nodded with satisfaction, with a "taught child" expression on her face.

"That's good. I don't blame you if you are young and ignorant. If you are obedient, you are a good boy. I will teach you slowly in the future." He pointed to the two girls who were about seventeen or eighteen years old standing beside him. , Said: "The two of them used to serve the elders in front of Xiu Neng, and they are very familiar with the habits of Xiu Neng. This time I brought them, and you can take them back to the courtyard in a while."

Lin Daiyu frowned subconsciously, and looked at the two girls with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

Their looks are not very outstanding, they can be said to be relatively ordinary, and they don't look like restless people...

Seeing her frown, Mrs. Cui's smile paused slightly, and after a little thought, she tentatively asked: "Are you worried about the concubine giving birth? It's no wonder that this wealthy family in the capital... "

Mrs. Cui frowned, showing a faint look of contempt, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, our family is a well-behaved family, and we will never allow concubines to give birth to children before the eldest son is born. , in the future, no matter how good the bastards are, no matter how good they are, they will not be in this family, no one will be able to shake the status of your mother and son, you can just rest assured."

Tell her to finish all the good and bad words, and Lin Daiyu seems to have nothing good to do for a while, except to confront her mother-in-law and stop her back.

It's not that she can't, and she's not afraid of getting a bad reputation, it's just that... this is the husband's own mother, so she can't be too presumptuous and shameless, besides, she also wants to see his attitude.

If the husband also has the intention in his heart, then she struggled to jump up and down to fight with her mother-in-law and turned into a clown. It's better to let him go. At worst, she will go back to her mother's house as soon as she lifts the dowry. What's the fuss? .

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu took the two maids back to the courtyard, of course, it was just her status as a maid, and her mother-in-law never told her to open her face and take over the house.

When Cui Xiu was able to return home at night, he saw his daughter-in-law's half-smile expression, and then saw the two familiar faces in the room, and he immediately understood.

He waved his hands and told all the maids and women in the room to retreat, and then he sat down beside her, first carefully and tentatively took her little hand, and seeing that she didn't shake it off, he immediately felt relieved, secretly thinking that things should be done Not too bad.

With a deliberately exaggerated expression on his face, he asked, "Mother asked you to bring it back?"

"No, my mother was afraid that I would treat my husband badly, so she brought her here from all over the world. By the way, I heard that she is an old acquaintance of my husband... I really can't make up my mind about how to arrange the concubine. How?"

There is a sour smell of yin and yang in the words, and the three words "old acquaintance" have an ambiguous meaning of "old friends".

Cui Xiuneng's eyelids started to twitch, he was both a husband and a concubine, so he panicked.

"It's really wronged, it's just a small serving of tea and water, nothing else!" She looked like she wanted to swear to the sky, "It's just two ordinary girls, what is it worth calling?" Madam is worrying about it, my husband is happy to help Madam worry." Then he called the woman in charge to come in, and sent the two maids to work in the sewing room.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smirk on her face seemed to have eased, she calmed down and straightened her face, and said: "You know what mother means, today we, husband and wife, will close the door Let’s have a good chat and talk to each other..."

"My silly Yuer..." Cui Xiuneng couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Before our marriage was settled, my father-in-law tried to test me several times. I have been warned repeatedly, and even that cousin Lian tried to tempt me a few times in various ways, and it was one pit after another..."

Thinking of it still brings tears of bitterness, "If I show a little bit of sloppy, do you think we two can still have today?"

Lin Daiyu was stunned, she obviously never knew that she had gone through so much in her marriage, and she didn't know that her relatives wanted to worry about her... her nose was sour, and her eyes suddenly became foggy.

Cui Xiuneng gently wiped away the tears falling from her eyes with his fingertips, and said helplessly, "I will talk to her personally, but... the teachings my mother has received since childhood have been deeply rooted in her bones, and some thoughts may be deeply ingrained. It's hard to change, you can't expect her to think clearly for a while, and you just listen to what I tell you in the future, don't take it to heart, if you keep pushing people, you can just push it on me."

"You take a shower and change your clothes to get ready to rest. I'll talk to my mother."

After this conversation, I just came back in the middle of the night, which shows that the process was not very pleasant and smooth.

As expected, when we met again the next day, I found that the mother-in-law's face was already gloomy and severe, and the eyes that looked at her revealed deep dissatisfaction from the inside out, and there was even a faint meaning of "hate iron but not steel".

But now that she knows what her husband means, Lin Daiyu will naturally no longer respond with the rather negative attitude before. Although she is still respectful and respectful when facing her mother-in-law again, but do you want to be rude?Then think about it, nodding is impossible.

After several confrontations, Mrs. Cui became more and more irritated, and when she saw Tian'er, she dragged her to talk about the "Four Books for Women", instilling a lot of women's morals in her, and she looked like she was trying her best to kill her. She has a posture of "breaking straight".

Even if she was sick and bedridden, this lady could move a chair to sit by the bed and babble her endlessly, making Lin Daiyu really one head and two big, and her head was groggy all day long.

That's all for nothing, what really makes Lin Daiyu unbearable is that after a period of time like this, her mother-in-law has lost her patience, and she directly puts two concubines in front of her... Seriously. Point out the faceless concubine, not the previous girl!

Although Cui Xiuneng was very obedient and never looked at her, Lin Daiyu was still pissed off. The depression that had been accumulated in her chest for the past few days suddenly burst out, and she started to have a low fever that night.

"This is too petty. How can a woman be so jealous? The rules and principles these days are really in vain, and I never listened to them at all." Madam Cui frowned and muttered. The expressions showed extreme dissatisfaction.

Cui Xiuneng opened his mouth, but in the end he could only support his forehead powerlessly, he turned his head and ordered to return the deed of sale and send the two so-called concubines away.

"Cultivation?"

"Mother, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"You think I'm being too lenient?" Mrs. Cui was stunned, but then she said aggrievedly: "Who am I doing this for? Your daughter-in-law has never learned the rules carefully since she lost her mother. Now I don't hurry up and teach her well. How can she take on the responsibility of being the wife of the house? Look at her jealousy... This temper is crooked. How can she be better in the future if she doesn't try hard? Going out is going to make people laugh, I don't know It's for you and for her good!"

"Mother be careful." Cui Xiuneng frowned, and said lightly: "Don't forget, Yu'er's mother's sister is the current imperial concubine, you may bring trouble by saying this."

It is said that there are no rules for Lin Daiyu's mother's death since childhood, so how can her sister be better?Isn't it the same as scolding the imperial concubine for having no rules?

Mrs. Cui knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

It was just an outburst of annoyance and gloom, but after seeing Cui Xiuneng's firm attitude to defend her, Lin Daiyu's anger disappeared for the most part, and her body was not seriously injured, but she didn't expect Nanny Yu to be ordered at this time coming.

Xueyan had already suppressed her resentment, and when she saw the backer coming, she immediately crackled her mouth, telling the truth about all the things that happened these days.

After hearing this, Madam Yu could pinch a mosquito to death between her brows. She was distressed and annoyed, and said: "The second girl has suffered such a big grievance, why didn't she say a word? If it wasn't for the imperial concubine thinking that something was wrong and sending the slaves here Take a look at this..."

Lin Daiyu said helplessly: "I am not the kind of soft-tempered person who allows others to bully me. It would be fine if my mother-in-law made it clear that I was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to make a fuss between us. But she really doesn't think so."

If you want to torment her deliberately, as a mother-in-law, you can use a lot of methods, which are enough to cause people to suffer, but her mother-in-law has never intentionally tortured her during this period of time, what she has done most is to catch her. When she talks about the "Four Books for Women", she just sits down. The mother-in-law sits and talks, and she just sits and listens.

Whether there are the two maids from before or the concubines who were directly stuffed in, their appearance and figure are very ordinary, and they are all honest and peaceful people, and even the contract of sale is given to them. After killing her... Who can do this if a mother-in-law deliberately tortures her daughter-in-law?

"It can be seen that she doesn't have any malice towards me, but she thinks that a woman should be gentle and virtuous from the bottom of her heart, and she thinks that she is teaching me carefully and insisting on pulling me back to the right path... It's just this that makes people even more helpless It's boring, it's not wrong to really get angry at her, and it's not wrong to argue with reason."

Or could she be so depressed?It would be better to have an evil mother-in-law than such a mother-in-law. Anyway, she doesn't need to tolerate and restrain people who are really malicious. Now, she doesn't know how to use such a big backer behind her. I've never seen such a... so powerless person at such a big age.

Not only has she never seen it, her sister has never seen it in her two lifetimes.

"This person is here... is there something wrong with him?" Lin Shiyu pointed at his brain, with a speechless expression on his face.

Madam Yu sighed: "In a family like theirs, most of the women are taught to be stupid. According to Numaid, the wife of the Cui family is a stupid person, just like what the second girl said, such a stupid person with no evil intentions. Talent is the most difficult and difficult to deal with."

Not to say.

Lin Shiyu couldn't help having a headache. After contemplating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Tomorrow, you will make a hard trip to Cui's residence. I want to meet that in-law's wife."

It would be the best if it could be explained reasonably, if not, she wouldn't mind being tough, otherwise would she really treat her family Yu'er's backer as a display?

The next day, as soon as Mrs. Cui's family stepped into the door, Lin Shiyu noticed her strange walking posture, and her eyes subconsciously glanced at her feet... covered by the skirt, but it is not difficult to imagine, the hidden clothes underneath It must be a pair of small feet.

Thinking of the pictures of little feet she had seen before, Lin Shiyu suddenly felt uncomfortable and frowned.

"The woman pays homage to the imperial concubine and empress."

"My wife please stand up and give me a seat."

"Thank you, ma'am." After taking her seat, Madam Cui raised her head slightly, and it was the first time Madam Cui saw her own daughter-in-law's sister, who was also a well-known and prestigious imperial concubine among the people.

For this meeting, Lin Shiyu, who has never been fond of gorgeous dresses, put on the airs of an imperial concubine very rarely. The apricot yellow dress that symbolizes her status is particularly eye-catching, showing a bit of unattainable status. Looking imposing, on her head is a set of exquisite dot emerald jewelry... From head to toe, everything is not luxurious, but her whole body has firmly suppressed such luxury, making people dare not look directly at her.

Mrs. Cui couldn't help sighing in her heart, she lowered her eyes slightly so as not to offend.

There was a faint smile on Lin Shiyu's face, but the smile couldn't reach his eyes. He first chatted with Jiachang for a few words, then changed the subject and sighed: "My Yu'er is still young, and she was raped since she was a child." Father and Bengong raised her up in the palm of their hands, and her temper was unavoidable, which really made Bengong feel at ease. Yesterday, I heard that the nanny came back and said that she seemed to be in conflict with her in-laws, and Bengong was anxious all night. Never slept soundly."

"The contradiction is not a contradiction. Yu'er's child is pretty good in other aspects, but..." Mrs. Cui hesitated: "It's just that the woman looks at the child's temperament as if he is a bit domineering..."

Lin Shiyu choked.

Nanny Yu Lianyi and the others in the hall also had expressions of astonishment.

After a long pause, Lin Shiyu asked again, "I don't know what my wife's words mean?"

"Those two children have been married for more than two years, but Yu'er has never given her husband a concubine. The housewives thought she was worried about such absurd things as pampering a concubine and destroying a wife, so she did He even tried to appease her for a long time, but who knows that she is still stubborn and refuses, and wants to monopolize her husband, how can this be done? A woman can't be so domineering and jealous!"

The hypocritical smirk on Lin Shiyu's face couldn't hold back anymore.

As if seeing her displeasure, Mrs. Cui quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, imperial concubine, women don't mean anything else, Yu'er is a good child, and women know it, but she seems to have gotten into a dead end in this aspect. It's really strange and helpless... The women tell her about women's morals every day, they really talk about it, but she can't listen to a single word..."

At this point, she still sighed helplessly, and continued: "The woman knows that the imperial concubine and the Yu'er sisters have always had a close relationship, and she is willing to listen to the imperial concubine's words, so why not help the imperial concubine Persuade her? Hey... this child is good everywhere, but this point is really a headache, and the women are worried that if they can't be corrected in time, the child will be so stubborn that he will completely lose his temper."

As soon as this remark came out, even Yin Xiaosi couldn't help raising his eyes to look at her a few more times.

Lin Shiyu was completely speechless.

Whose thinking is crooked is really unclear.

Aunt Yu next to her couldn't bear it and said, "My wife's words are wrong. Why don't you take the initiative to take a concubine for your husband? You are jealous or have a bad temper? If your son has this kind of heart, our second girl will definitely not take it with him." Just say one more word 'no'." At most, she turned her head and slapped her, but the imperial concubine's younger sister can't get married or what?Even if you can't get married, the Lin family can pamper you for a lifetime!

"Since your son himself doesn't have that kind of intention, why does the second girl of our family have to hurry up to take him a concubine? How can I make things difficult for myself like this? Isn't that something wrong with my brain?"

Mrs. Cui immediately retorted: "How can you say that? It is the duty of a regular wife to take the initiative to take the initiative to take care of a concubine, and it is what a good wife should do. If you wait for your husband or elders to speak in person, you will be an immoral woman." people."

She had a surprised expression, as if she had heard some extremely absurd remarks, but she didn't know that others who listened to her words really felt the absurdity.

This expression and attitude showed that she really thought so in her heart.

This is the foot wrap not only wrapped the feet, but also wrapped the brain together.

Lin Shiyu finally realized her sister's helplessness, and also felt an unspeakable sadness.

This is a woman who has been thoroughly domesticated. What is extremely sad is that there are not only one or two women like her.

After a long silence, Lin Shiyu said with a cold face: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The wife of the in-laws should just relax and let the young couple live a good life, isn't it? Is it comfortable? I will leave the words here today, but if your son says that he wants to take a concubine, I will agree to him without any hesitation. A man with two hearts."

"If not... then I have to ask my wife to stop pointing fingers. It doesn't matter whether you think Yu'er is domineering or jealous. It doesn't matter what you think. As long as Yu'er thinks about it, I will have no bottom line." Unreservedly support all her ideas and decisions, if you use your status as a mother-in-law to try to 'teach' Yu'er to make their young couple feel uneasy, then don't blame me for bullying others with your status as an imperial concubine. "
