Chapter 382: Grievances
Chapter 382
As the maid walked in with hot tea, several women sat down, and saw that Guo Luo Luo was still sitting on the chair of the first master, and couldn't help but glance at each other, revealing a little hesitation.
Before, only Concubine Niangniang was present, Guo Luoluo, as the biological mother of Concubine Niangniang and the owner of Guarjia Mansion, should naturally sit at the top, which makes sense.
But at this time, the prince of Erfu also came over, and Guo Luoluo's position was a little awkward.
Although Erfu is not as good as Erfu in terms of grade, he is not as good as Errou in the position of a first-class concubine, and in terms of his identity after marriage, he is a junior, but he is also a royal middleman who is really on the jade, and Guo Luoluo, as Eniang, does not give up the position of the top, and should choose to sit opposite Erfu, taking care of the face of this married aunt / and following the difference in status.
However, Guo Luo Luo sat so arrogantly that he didn't even pretend to give up his position, let alone give up his position as a gift.
Fortunately, Erfu didn't care, since the main owner didn't care, the others couldn't see it, half-sideways, sat down, and smiled with Errou, Erfu, Guo Luoluo and other inconspicuous homely words such as clothes, jewelry, and food, which didn't seem to be cold.
After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, a few more women came over, Erfu glanced at Mama Qiu, who was leading the way, and pursed the corners of her lips, "Look at the hour, E-niang and my sister will sit first, I'll go over there to see how my sister-in-law is preparing!"
To be honest, Erf really didn't get used to a group of people getting together like this. With a smile on his face, he chatted about various small abacus in his heart, and Tong Jia, who was the young fortune of Fuzhong, was still busy in the kitchen at this time. And she was not called out to meet people by Guo Luoluo, she always felt that something was not appropriate, and it was inevitable that those women would figure out something wrong in their hearts, and they hurriedly took advantage of this excuse to go out.
It's just Erfu's kindness, which may not be able to win the eyes of others, such as Guo Luoluo, who has always looked down on her.
Before she could go far, Guo Luoluo's undisguised mocking voice had already drifted to her ears. "In the end, I can't help it, this child has been afraid of seeing people since he was a child, and he thought that he would be like this. Look at it and it's still this one, it's really ......."
"Eniang, how can you say that!" Before Guo Luo Luo finished speaking, He Fei Errou had already hurriedly interrupted. smiled and nodded to the women sitting next to him. Only a shallow voice remained in Erf's ears.
Erfu left quickly, and didn't hear Errou's words, and naturally she didn't know that after she walked away, Errou's praise and disparagement had already characterized her as a person who welcomed the high and stepped on the low, or even if she was there, she couldn't hear it, and even felt that it was not good for Errou and Guo Luoluo to face outsiders like this because of her affairs. I felt guilty in my heart.
In the large kitchen, several stoves are moving in unison. The bursts of heat and the aroma of soup of various dishes wafted out, which caused Erfu, who had not eaten anything seriously since she got up in the morning, to drool, but she was embarrassed to eat when she entered the door, so she glanced at the similar dishes that had been prepared with a smile, and asked softly to Tong Jiashi who greeted her: "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help with here?"
"Second aunt and grandmother are too polite, this little thing, you need to do it, come with me to talk outside!" Saying that, Tong Jiashi had already helped Erfu to walk away from the kitchen door filled with the fragrance of vegetables, and entered a separate room next to him to sit down and talk, a few plates of dried fruit snacks were properly arranged, and he raised his hand to send away the maid who was still waiting beside him, "Thinking that it is still early for my aunt and grandmother to come back from the fourth master's mansion, I guess I haven't had time to eat, and the banquet is about to start at this time, you can eat some snacks first!"
Erfu smiled politely, but did not refuse Tong Jia's kindness, and casually picked up a piece of chestnut cake the size of a finger belly and sent it into his mouth, a faint sweetness lingered between his lips and teeth, but it made the already rumbling stomach comfortable, and even the symptoms of low blood sugar with soft hands and feet have improved slightly.
"This lotus seed soup is made by the chef specially invited by Eniang from Zuixian Lou to help, the taste is fragrant and refreshing, the second aunt and grandmother should use some first!" The two sat on both sides of the square table, Tong Jiashi stopped when she saw that Erfu had only eaten a few chestnut cakes, and smiled and asked people to send a fine porcelain stew cup to her.
The lotus seed soup that has been boiled for half a day is soft and glutinous and sweet.
Erfu drank a small bowl, and the stomach was three or five points full, so she didn't use it anymore, raised her hand and picked up the warm tea and rinsed her mouth, showed a shy smile at Tong Jiashi, and whispered: "To be honest, my stomach is really hungry, sister-in-law, don't laugh at me!"
"No!" Although Tong Jia's return to the capital city of Guerjia Mansion has not been long, there are a few of his subordinates available, so he naturally understands the status of this Erfu Gege, who has the unique scenery in the Fourth Master's Mansion, in the mansion, and at the same time, from Erfu's behavior of not returning to the mansion for many years, she can see her dislike for Guo Luoluo, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she smiled and waved her hand, and said softly, "Originally, I would have asked someone to give you and your aunt and grandmother at noon. E-Niang sent some food over, but I heard the maids say that you rested, and E-Niang also said that you came back hard, so you didn't let people quarrel with you, so I brought it back again!"
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious, which can be regarded as a problem since ancient times.
Guo Luo Luo and Tong Jia are not soft people, Erfu listened to Tong Jia's words and pushed the responsibility to Guo Luo Luo, and did not have any other ideas, or said that he was a little unhappy, but he didn't take it too seriously, just smiled and passed, and continued to pull Tong Jia's to say some gossip, so as not to make her aunt and grandmother caught between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law embarrassed.
Even so, Erfu is still a little curious about how this sister-in-law, who seems to be quite easy to get along with, can't get along with Guo Luoluo, according to the daughter-in-law's small bow in front of her mother-in-law, it is a very normal thing, Tong Jiashi doesn't seem to be a person who doesn't understand these things, but how can this person seem to have been wronged!
Isn't there any detail she doesn't know here?
Just when Erfu was guessing in her heart, Tong Jiashi had already opened the conversation.
Tatara. Appearing in Erf's ears again made Erf's whole body cheer up, and even sat up a little straighter. A pair of eyes flashed with gossip, and Baba waited for Tong Jiashi to continue.
Fortunately, Tong Jiashi is not a person who likes to go around in circles, and without waiting for Erfu to open his mouth, he quickly explained the love-hate entanglement between her and Guo Luoluo.
This matter has to start with the prosperity and decline of the prince's mother family, the Hesheri family, in the court in those two years. Her sister-in-law not only has her father and brother fighting in the army, but also has an inextricable relationship with the Aixin Jueluo family, and can be said to be a noble daughter from the Eight Banners who is more prosperous than Guarjia Mansion.
It's just that the world makes people, and Guo Luo Luo was originally interested in having such a daughter-in-law. That's because I feel that it's good to do anything, I walk in the wind, and I feel that my face is shining when I go out to socialize. But with the matter of the prince's mother family, the Hesheri family, Tong Jia's family came out of the same door as Sony Fujin Tong Jia's family, and the family also ate a lot of melons.
Although Tong Jia's family has never been uprooted, it has lost a lot of power in the end. than by the favor of two daughters. The higher and higher Guarjia is not half a star worse, coupled with the previous days of-for-tat confrontation between Lao Sony and Aobai (Guarjia), this Guo Luo Luo clan is targeting this young Fujin in the house, as if he wants to be angry for Guerjia's ancestor Aobai, who was killed by the old man Kangxi.
The most important thing is not only that, Guo Luo Luo was afraid that he would marry such a young man and enter the mansion, so that the emperor and the old man would look down on his own masters, and she didn't know which tendon was not right, so she asked the people around her to give the new Shaofu Jin contraceptive decoction. Although it is not on the surface, it is her hands and feet that she secretly touches. But Tong Jia's family is not a fool when he enters the mansion, and he naturally has capable servants around him, so he naturally discovered Guo Luoluo's calculations in less than half a year.
A woman in this era, if she has no children by her side, no matter how powerful her mother's family is, she always has to bow her head in her husband's family, not to mention Guo Luoluo's mother-in-law doing things like this, where is Tong Jia's willing to just forget it, not only did she want to accompany her husband to Guanwai, but also dug some pits for Guo Luoluo's family openly and secretly, so that Guo Luoluo lost some face in the house.
The feud between the two should have ended here, but Guo Luo Luo is a person who is unwilling to suffer, not to mention that her son has been outside the customs for many years, she feels that it was instigated by Tong Jia's family, and she directly selected a woman with a good appearance and figure from the unsuccessful show girls and sent it to Guanwai, and she did not forget to block Tong Jia's family in Beijing.
And this woman was the Tatara clan that Orf had seen in the garden before.
Although it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and the concubine room is not a master, if Tong Jia's wants to deal with it, it is also something that can be easily done, but he is different from others, this pair of brothers of the Tala clan once saved Guarjia Yuman on the battlefield, Guarjia Yuman came back with all beards and shadows, and a pair of brothers of his Tala clan left their lives on the battlefield, it is precisely because of this that his Tala family is becoming more and more unpopular, and he has not even been able to get a good marriage in the palace draft.
has the relationship of saving his life to Guarjia, he has become the most special person in the house when he enters the house, although the degree of food and clothing is almost the same as that of the concubine, but Tong Jia's family has no way to take her, and he doesn't even dare to say a heavy word, and he has to treat others with good food and drink, which is more troublesome than marrying a noble concubine and side Fujin, which can be regarded as completely hating Guo Luo Luo in his bones.
In this regard, Erfu could only look at Tong Jiashi in embarrassment.
"It's just a concubine's room, sister-in-law doesn't have to take it to heart!" Erfu left the grievances between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that Tong Jiashi said as if she hadn't heard it, put down the cup in her hand with a smile, and said softly, "My sister-in-law and my brother are stronger than Jin, and now there is Ake around her knees, even if she can rely on the friendship of the older generation to live safely in the house, she will never pass you!"
Tong Jiashi smiled, his eyes flickering slightly, "That's what I said, but with such a person in front of me, I always feel awkward." ”
"Speaking of which, E-Niang is getting older and older, and there should always be someone around to serve her, approaching me and my sister rarely have a chance to come back, and my sister-in-law and brother are not at ease when they are outside!" Erph smiled as if she didn't understand, raised her hand and touched the edge of the table carved with cloud patterns, and reminded in a low voice.
When Tong Jiashi heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he showed a touch of helplessness.
I heard before that Guarjia Yuman was going to leave his son in Beijing as an errand, it seems to be true, it should have been a very good method, but it has no effect at all, so this Ta La clan will still make Tong Jia's heart blocked, I just hope that he Ta La is a man who keeps to himself, otherwise his wife and concubine fight, and the consequences are much more serious than the incompatibility of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Especially that Tatara clan looks a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid it's not a stop, otherwise Tong Jiashi wouldn't think she was an eyesore.
After all, there are many mouths for eating in the house, which is absolutely nothing for Tong Jia's family.
But none of this has anything to do with her Erf, she's just a foreign daughter.
Thinking of this, Erfu laughed again, calling these men greedy, and they should also know the consequences of knowing that greed will cause, and the backyard is restless, even if you have the wisdom of Zhuge , there is absolutely no good way to go.
As for not having a strong mother's family to rely on, Erfu is really not worried, no matter how you look at it, the fourth master of her family is not a person who allows her relatives to become bigger and stronger, maybe her family background is not obvious, and it can make her life in the house more comfortable.
......
"It's not too early, let's go to the main courtyard together!" Erfu listened to Tong Jiashi continue to complain about the barbaric mother-in-law Guo Luo Luo, and when she felt a little tired, she looked at the housekeeper and walked over with a slight smile on her face, and hurriedly motioned for Tong Jiashi to stop talking, and said softly.
Tong Jia's family is definitely watching and listening to all directions, but when he saw a small look from Erfu, he stood up with understanding, and said without the slightest hesitation: "That's right, when there is a chance another day, our sister-in-law will nag again, it's really not the right time today!"
As he spoke, he had already sent the little maid to arrange a soft sedan chair outside, and he blocked all the words that the housekeeper who was ordered by Guo Luoluo to urge Tong Jiashi and Erfu wanted to do so, and distorted a smiling face, which seemed to have just seen the housekeeper and smiled, "Mama Wen, why are you here now, but what are the instructions from Eniang?"
Mama Wen is the mother in charge of ushering in the favor in the house, a baby face, even after many years of hard work, but still looks young, and makes people feel very kind at first sight, and it is difficult to have a bad feeling.
Although Mama Wen doesn't have any serious errands on weekdays, she is definitely the most valued one by Guo Luo Luo in the house, and at this time she was arranged by Tong Jia's to rob her on an errand, although she was a little uncomfortable, but her face did not show anything, and she said with a smile: "It is exactly this, the old slave was ordered by Fujin to specially invite Ergege and Shaofujin to Xiying Pavilion!"
As he spoke, he retreated to the side slightly, raised his hand and invited the two of them to go out.
Hearing this, Erfu pursed her lips and smiled, grabbed Tong Jia, who wanted to be one step behind, and walked out together, as if they were a pair of good little sisters. (To be continued.) )
