The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, after the three sisters of You's family finished washing and washing, they first went to the old lady You in the upper house to say hello.At that time, Mrs. Chen was holding Brother Bao and chatting with Mrs. You.Mrs. You was unhappy because her boss Chen refused to accept her nanny, and she was not allowed to take Bao Geer by her side on the grounds that she was old and frail.Every time I want to make trouble with words, I can't help but think of that day when the Chen family members came to congratulate, the old man Chen's attitude was hot and cold in front of the two families, for fear that his meddling would make his in-laws dissatisfied with his son and hurt You Ziyu Therefore, Mrs. You did not dare to act recklessly.Even if it is hard to calm down, it is nothing more than venting your anger with sour words.

Chen heard it, but didn't care.He only held his son in his arms and sat at the lower head, ordering tea and snacks for a while, and ordered the maids serving in the upper room to circle around.At the end, he smiled and said to Mrs. You: "Old lady, don't blame me for being troublesome. You also know how hard it is to conceive in October. What's more, if I want to feed Brother Bao now, I must ensure that there is enough milk, so I can't eat and drink too casually." ——This is also for the incense of your You family, isn’t it?”

When Mrs. You heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Since my daughter-in-law finds it hard to feed Brother Bao, why don't you ask the nannies to feed Brother Bao? Why bother asking for trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen burst into laughter.In the mouth, he said: "There is no need to say this, old lady. Didn't we already make it very clear before? My brother Bao is different from other children, but the only son of the master who is nearly half a hundred years old. Since he is of the same line It is natural to be more precious if you pass on a single pass. How can those bastards who know people, face and heart not be rationed to breastfeed our brother Bao? What's more, the master's body, you know the old lady. You can't be strong, so brother The Donggong imperial physician who was invited also said that after Bao Geer is born, it is more important to take care of him. As the saying goes, diseases come in from the mouth, and disasters come out of the mouth. Since Bao Geer has a slight congenital deficiency, we usually Feeding Brother Bao should be more careful. Those nannies look honest on the outside, but we don’t know if they are sneaky and slippery on the inside. Besides, the nannies who breastfeed my brother are even more taboo in terms of food intake. I am Brother Bao's mother, for the good of Brother Bao, I have no complaints even if there are various taboos. Do you know that those nurses are the same? If they are honest in appearance and hide adultery in their hearts, we will eat and drink behind our backs. I don't know, won't it harm Brother Bao in the future? Why do you keep saying, old lady... that you don't know my heart?"

After listening to Mrs. Chen's words, Mrs. You felt even more uncomfortable.Just when she was about to retort, she saw the three Youshi sisters in her eyes, and smiled to the sisters unconsciously, "Look, your wife is very eloquent. I just hired a few nurses to care for her. Come home. When it comes to her, it seems like an old lady who doesn't know how to sympathize with her grandson. Really... I have been wronged!"

The three sisters of You's family heard this, but they laughed and said nothing.For a while, Aunt Lan also brought the fourth girl to pay her respects.The old lady You was having no name and nowhere to say, when she saw Aunt Lan's mother and daughter who came late, she sneered and said: "Everyone is here, you are here. Now it is obvious that our family is too lenient, what? Both the cat and the dog are all excited. Look at the weather outside? Why don't you come back after lunch?"

Aunt Lan's mother and daughter blushed from being reprimanded.The fourth girl smiled face-saving, and immediately cried out in embarrassment.Aunt Lan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, explaining to the old lady: "It was my fault. It was only because the fourth girl went to bed late last night because she was playful, so I didn't wake her up early today. That's why I came late .Please punish the old lady."

The old lady You heard the words, but she didn't open her mouth, she just listened to Chen, who was hugging Brother Bao, smiled and said: "During the New Year's Eve, why cry when you are having a good time, it's not bad luck. The old lady just saw that Bao and I Brother, don't be angry with the fourth girl. She is still young, just at the age of playing and sleeping, and she can't compare with her sisters. What's more, not only the fourth girl, but all of us last night I didn't go to bed early. It's just that adults have something on their minds. Even if they go to bed late, they can wake up early. These four girls are now growing up. Tell her to eat more and sleep more to grow taller. Come on, that's a good thing."

After hearing this, Aunt Lan hurriedly met her head and said loudly: "Madam is right. It's my servant's fault that I didn't wake up Miss Si in time."

The fourth girl saw her own aunt kowtowed to apologize for herself, her face was full of humility, she was wronged and ashamed for a while, she couldn't help crying louder.Seeing this, Mrs. You became more and more irritable, and immediately put down her face and reprimanded her.

It happened that You Ziyu sent away Xiafeng who came to pay New Year's greetings in the front yard, and was winding back to the inner house while admiring the snow.When I went to the upper room in the inner courtyard and opened the door, I saw Mrs. You scolding Aunt Lan and the fourth young lady, Mrs. Chen frowned secretly, but smiled on her face at the scene where Mrs. Chen hugged Bao Geer to intercede Asked: "But the fourth girl made my mother angry? Mother should not be angry, but take care of herself."

After that, he looked at the fourth girl pretending to be annoyed and asked, "Tell me, why did you offend your grandmother, why don't you apologize to your grandmother quickly."

Before saying a word, she only heard Chen's interface laughing: "Master, please don't wrong the fourth girl. This matter is not the fault of the fourth girl, but Aunt Lan, who never looked at the time to call the fourth girl. If you want to punish Punishing Aunt Lan has nothing to do with Miss Four."

The fourth girl became more flustered when she heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "Don't punish my aunt. I was snoozing last night and didn't wake up this morning, so I missed paying my respects to grandma. The master and wife just punish me." .Don't punish my aunt."

You Ziyu was startled when he heard the words, never thought that Mrs. You's rage was only for such a trivial matter, so she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Chen.I saw Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "I didn't raise Miss Four on Yinyuan Day. I didn't know that Miss Four was also a pure and filial girl. Miss Four pleaded with Aunt Lan—and it's not suitable for New Year's Eve." I begged the master for a favor, and I begged the master to ask the old lady for a favor, to spare Aunt Lan and Miss Lan this time, don't you want to be punished?"

As soon as this remark came out, although Mrs. Chen didn't say it clearly, she decided from the side that Mrs. You's unkind act of getting angry just because of such a trivial matter.You Ziyu immediately looked at the old lady You with some distaste, even though he couldn't say anything, he could only apologize with a smile and begged: "Since that's the case, can the old lady spare the fourth girl once?"

Mrs. You was a little dazed.She knew that You Ziyu must have misunderstood, but she couldn't admit in front of You Ziyu that she looked down on the Chen family and scolded Huai for pointing fingers, so she reprimanded the fourth girl with words.Only with a smile, he stretched out his hand to the fourth girl who was kneeling on the ground, took her hand and smiled at You Ziyu, "You don't need to say that. The fourth girl is also my own granddaughter, don't tell me I won't love her I'm just afraid that she will become more and more lazy after being trained by Aunt Lan, and she will have many problems in the future that will never be corrected."

Although the old lady You's explanation was far-fetched, it was taboo for the venerable, and You Ziyu, as a son of man, couldn't question anything, so she had to apologize and say yes.

Only Concubine Lan climbed up the pole, and after hearing what Old Madam You said, she immediately knelt down to meet each other, and begged: "This concubine knows that she comes from a humble background, has low knowledge, and is not up to the responsibility of raising a girl. I also ask my wife to continue to educate the fourth girl because the fourth girl is also the master's flesh and blood. The concubine kowtows to the wife."

Aunt Lan's calculations were accurate, but she was a little discouraged when she saw how powerful Chen was.Gain looked at her coldly. Ever since the Chen family married into the You family, not only was she a skilled husband, but also quickly grasped the power of the You family with the help of the third sister You, and gave birth to You Ziyu's eldest son. One after another, even the old lady and the compradors in charge of the other yards failed to please Chen's, let alone an old man with a dishonorable name and a bad name. Auntie.

Although Aunt Lan is a frivolous person who loves to show off, she is also very self-aware.Ever since I watched Chen's various actions of hanging and beating You's relatives, I knew that I would never try to defeat Chen head-on in my life.

As for tricks such as plotting to murder Mrs. Chen, Aunt Lan has neither the courage nor the disdain to do it.It was only because her family knew about her own family affairs—knowing that although she was born in a family of officials, she was the daughter of a criminal minister, and she was carried into You's house as You Ziyu's concubine.

There is an ancestral system in this dynasty, and concubines cannot be made wives.

As the head of the sixth rank of the imperial court, You Ziyu also has the heart of career advancement, so naturally he would not spoil his concubine and destroy his wife and use his concubine as his wife to be belittled by others, and give the chance to impeach him for his innocence.

What's more, the You family's mother and son are greedy for vanity. When they married the Chen family's widow, what they valued was the power and wealth of the Chen family.How can he tolerate his great career being ruined by a lowly aunt in the inner house?

So Aunt Lan saw it very clearly.Knowing that Mrs. Chen is respected by her husband's family, supported by her father and brother, and has contributed to the birth of a son for the You family, this wife is already as stable as a rock.If she really can't bear to think about taking action against the Chen family, not to mention that there is no chance now, even if she succeeds by luck, everyone in the Chen family is not a vegetarian and will not let her go.Even if there is really a chance to let it go, it will only be You Ziyu's filial piety for one year before marrying a second wife.The step-wife who came in again probably wouldn't be able to tolerate her as a "concubine" who gave birth to the master's children.

Since the gain outweighs the gain and the effort is thankless, Aunt Lan will not be stupid.

What's more, although Mrs. Chen has a fierce and strong temperament, she has severely punished her for copying Buddhist scriptures, but ever since Aunt Lan became soft and honest, Mrs. Chen never resorted to any schemes to harm her behind her back.Even if she is still tired and disliked, she just treats her coldly, as if there is no one like her in the inner house.

After a long time, Mrs. Chen thought about it, and in the end, for the sake of her daughter's future, she reluctantly hugged Mrs. Chen's thigh with shame.That's why the fourth girl asked Mrs. You to wake up late today——

Aunt Lan had originally planned that no matter what Old Madam You and Mrs. Chen said, she would find a way to follow these words and ask Mrs. Chen to educate the fourth girl.Even if Mrs. Chen refuses at this time, Aunt Lan will still confess her allegiance to Mrs. Chen later, and only ask Mrs. Chen for her understanding.Poor parents all over the world, Aunt Lan believes that a person who never forgets to bring his daughter with him after remarrying will always have a motherly heart.

It's just that Aunt Lan didn't expect that she would break into the fight between Mrs. You and Mrs. Chen.Now Mrs. You failed to beat the Chen family by taking advantage of the incident of the fourth girl, but was bumped into by You Ziyu.It gave Chen an opportunity to pretend to be virtuous and magnanimous.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen put eye drops on the old lady repeatedly, and at the same time asked You Ziyu to intercede for their mothers.Aunt Lan simply took this opportunity to throw out her thoughts face-to-face——

She didn't believe that Mrs. Chen could do the stupid thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge while pretending to be virtuous!
