While the vestibule of the General's Mansion was noisy, the inner courtyard was not very calm.

This time, the family is not limited to men, but also many female dependents. This is also because the Central Plains is gradually settled, and the Shen family's future focus will inevitably be placed more in the north.

In addition to the small family moving north to settle down, General Shen was also using this to demonstrate his determination to carry out the Northern Expedition to the end and achieve all the successes, and he was never satisfied with the situation of being trapped in Jiangdong.

People more or less have a kind of content with the status quo, Yongjia after the southward migration has passed a generation, many overseas Chinese even if they miss their homeland, but they may not be eager to return to the countryside. After all, the risk of this kind of ethnic migration is too great, how the hometown is and whether it can settle down is still secondary, if there are any twists and turns on the way, it is very likely that it will fall apart on the way.

However, after the Central Plains was recovered, Xingtai urgently needed these people who had been ruled by the king for a long time to enrich the place, and if they blindly forced the order, it would be counterproductive, so the Shen family also took this as an example for the world and called for the flow of time to move back.

In addition, Xingtai even sent Sima Wuji, the king of Chen, to Langya to repair and build the former emperor's homeland, so as to show that even the tombs of the two emperors may have to be moved back to their homeland for burial at the right time.

Of course, the current turmoil in the inner courtyard has nothing to do with the general situation of these families and countries, and the main thing is naturally the trivial matters in Shen Mu's family. Shen Mu in the vestibule was taught a lesson by his father's cane, and the news naturally spread to the inner court, and his wife He naturally couldn't pretend to be nothing, no matter what she felt in her heart, she hurriedly came to the mother's hall to beg for mercy.

Shen Mu's mother is the Xu family of this county, and she doesn't feel that her son is wrong, and even because Shen Mu has many children, she is complacent. Or it was also because he had a bad relationship with this daughter-in-law from the Wuzhong Wang clan for a long time, and he felt sorry for his son for this unwarranted disaster, so he was a little speechless when he answered.

Shen Mu's mood was not good, and she was ridiculed by her mother, but she could imagine how she felt, so she knelt in the court and wept and begged.

Xu Shi was also a little panicked when she saw this, she knew that why Shen Mu had been taught this lesson, just to give an explanation to the He family, but the result was undecided, and another thing happened, if the bride was forced to leave the house, the matter would definitely end even worse. But she didn't know how to appease her at this time, and she couldn't let go of her body, so she could only quickly send someone to ask her sister-in-law.

Unlike Shen Mu's mother, Shen Chong's wife Wei Shi was really very comfortable after entering Luo, the eldest daughter-in-law princess and the second daughter-in-law Du Shi's lady were ready to greet each other, and they were surrounded by well-behaved grandchildren day and night.

When the Xu family sent people to complain, the Wei family also asked the eldest son's concubine how Gua'er was pregnant.

Although Shen Zhezi's wife and concubine are the only three in the family, Gua'er has the lowest status, not to mention Princess Xingnan, Ah Ling's mother is also a member of the Qinghe Cui family of Hebei Wang, but Gu'er is only from a family.

But when it comes to the recognition in his heart, Wei is the most intimate and gentle melon. The status of the princess is too high, no matter how considerate the daily greetings are, it always makes Wei feel a little cramped, and for Ah Ling's lady, she is a little strange. Only this melon, in the early years, she personally selected to serve by her son's side, and after being included in the room, she will give birth to a child for the Shen family.

Therefore, after entering Luo, the Wei family summoned Gua'er to take care of Xiaozuo by his side, probably because he remembered to give his intimate little lady a slight increase, and not to be overlooked by the inside and outside.

After hearing the servant woman beside the Xu family finish speaking, the Wei family couldn't help frowning, and after looking around at the princess and the others in the hall, he sighed: "The family is in harmony with foreign affairs, and the young and the old are harmonious, so why bother to make noise and trouble in the court!" ”

This kind of contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even if the princess and others have any opinions, naturally they will not say it on such an occasion, and they only slightly echo it after hearing it.

On the other side, a delicate and delicate little lady snorted after hearing this: "Mother, it's not right for you to say this, I don't know how the second brother is, but his sister-in-law treats me very kindly, not a boring person......"

When Wei Shi heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised: "You talk a lot about everything, this kind of entanglement in the court, your father and brother are not sure of it, you can make a clear judgment on right and wrong?" ”

The little lady who spoke was Shen Zhezi's sister-in-law, named Ah Yan, who was favored by her father and brother since she was a child, and her personality was also lively and cheerful, she dared to say a few words about anything, and she was not afraid when she heard her mother's reprimand, but she just lowered her head and teased the little meat dumpling in her arms Shen Pusheng and said: "Pusheng, Pusheng, you must remember not to learn these evil elders in the future, make trouble outside, and blame your family for not being compatible......"

Then Shen Pusheng didn't know anything, he just shook his little head to shake off his aunt's hand that pulled his cheeks.

"My child is the most delicate, how can you not be lightly pinched!"

Seeing this, Wei Shi felt distressed, raised his hand and knocked off his daughter's hand, and then said: "Erlang's bride is indeed polite and obedient, worthy of the famous virtuous woman. But the bad thing is that there is the noise of foreign affairs, and she herself is uncertain. Looking at the north and south of this world, how can the sons and daughters of each family be perfect, Erlang he dares to fight outside, strengthen my family's reputation, and his wife and children are also glorious because of him. ”

"Besides, my family is not a poor family without food and clothing, and it is rumored that it is a family pleasure that the ancestors should be happy with, who dares to tell right and wrong because of this? This lady is a famous and noble daughter in our Wu Township, how can she be allowed to serve as a slave and maid in my house? Erlang's external use is already hard, even if there are a few people around him, it is reasonable, who can shake the pet that her main wife deserves? Therefore, the noise is endless, but it makes people laugh and lower their physique, and see the same knowledge as ordinary fools......"

When the little lady heard that her mother's words were all about protecting her own children, and describing Shen Mu's floating behavior lightly, the corners of her mouth suddenly twitched to express her disagreement, but she didn't open her mouth to refute when she saw her mother staring.

Other people's family affairs are not worth talking about at length, and Princess Xingnan can't hear the words of the grandmother and still have a little bit of the meaning of beating her and the younger brother-in-law, and after hearing the words, she smiled and said: "What the mother said is really a good woman's home, and I and Lingniang are all domestic ladies who came to the house when they were young, so that they can deeply feel the love of their uncle for a long time, and they are fortunate to have the care of the husband, and they know that the family harmony is precious." But looking outside, there are a few families that can be so harmonious with my family, and occasional resistance and disturbance are inevitable. ”

Hearing his bride say this, Wei's mood became comfortable again, and then he took the princess's hand and said with a smile: "So it's really difficult to think about it even if you are not in the situation, it seems that the little lady is spoiled by her father and brother, and she can tolerate it within the family, and she will be matched with other families in the coming year, who can tolerate her untamed?" I'm not boasting about how good my tutors are, but there really is nothing wrong with these boys under me to blame. My family's Ah Xiu is about to grow up, if you really wait and see that the show girl of the He family is a match, you still have to take her to the house as soon as possible......"

The princess couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, she was interested in Ah Xiu being reprimanded by her husband for being boring and diligent, but her own mother was more long-term, and she had already considered how the child would be married.

But these words also made her heart move, her personality is already strong, and she has gradually learned to restrain under the connivance and love of her husband for many years.

The little lady on the side Ah Yan was accused of being a villain by her mother, and she was naturally angry in her heart, grabbed a pom-pom on the case and smashed it on Shen Axiu, who was pouting her ass and fiddling with the tangram on the other side, and asked with a smile: "Ah Xiu, your mother wants to find a lady for you to play with, what kind of lady do you like?" What is my aunt's appearance and temperament? ”

Shen Axiu turned her head blankly, a little dissatisfied with being disturbed, and only shook her head when she heard her aunt ask again: "Auntie looks beautiful, but she is a little stupid, you won't teach me my homework assigned by my mother, you just rob my toys!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall laughed, but the little lady Shen Yan was so angry that her eyebrows rose up, and she stopped talking in a muffled voice.

The servant woman sent by the Xu family originally wanted to ask for help, but she was not in the mood to appreciate how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of this family got along well, and only when the laughter had subsided, did she bring up the old story again with a bitter face.

"It's hard to distinguish the facts of the family, and it's hard to say even if my mother goes, so let me go over and persuade my mother to go over and persuade her."

Princess Xingnan saw Wei frowning and groaning, so she got up and said.

Wei was also embarrassed, and when he heard the princess say this, he couldn't help but be even more happy. People's sense of superiority is always compared, and it is inevitable that the concubines in the family will climb each other's heights, and the princess took the initiative to take over this matter, which made Wei feel that her bride was really polite and decent, and in comparison, it was inevitable that it would be more comfortable.

Besides, the princess has a noble status, and even the Wei family is inevitably a little cautious when getting along with each other, if she goes to persuade her, even if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the second room have any grievances against each other, they will inevitably be restrained, and they will not make too much trouble.

"Then ask the bride to come forward and make peace with me for a while, and by the way, take this lady with her, so that she can also see how to get along with others."

As soon as he thought of this, Wei nodded and said, by the way, he pointed to the little lady Ah Yan who was tiptoeing towards Ah Xiu, and invited her grandson into her arms full of doting.

At the behest of her mother, the princess stopped sitting for a long time, and immediately stood up and took a few members of her family and the reluctant lady Yan and went straight to the courtyard where she lived in the second room.

When the princess came, she saw many servants and maids all lined up under the corridor with nervous expressions to greet her. Shen Mu's mother, Xu Shi, was also picked up by the servant woman, with a sneering smile on her face: "But there are some trivial matters under the curtain, how dare Her Royal Highness Princess Lao personally go to ......"

"Uncle and mother are too polite, they are all family members, and they are first and foremost peaceful. I'm just looking too shallow and looking at it, how dare I say anything about hard work or no hard work. ”

The princess stepped forward quickly and raised her hand to help Xu, who was slightly bowed.

Seeing that the princess was talking respectfully, Xu's face was even more embarrassed, and he turned his head to look at his own bride who was already standing silently behind, and said gloomily: "The old woman is really ruined this time, and she is even more ashamed and envious of the eldest sister-in-law's good housekeeping, and the curtain is ......peaceful."

Shen Mu's lady, He, had already suppressed her voice, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but cry.

The princess also felt a headache when she saw this, this matter has not been able to distinguish right from wrong so far, it is true that Shen Mu has a lot of prodigal behavior outside, and he has little respect for his own wife, but there is such a disturbance in the court gate, it is no wonder that the Xu family blames his bride for causing her to lose face. Now that the two of them are in the same place, the princess doesn't know who to advise first.

After a little muttering, she stepped forward and grabbed He's wrist and said, "The cup is still inevitably colliding, and in the symbiotic sect, a little tooth and tooth run-in is a big deal." I'm coming tonight, and I still want to ask my sister-in-law to accompany me to meet Goro's wife. I'm also curious, I want to ask how Jiangxia is going, I don't know if my sister-in-law is willing to accompany me? ”

He was in such a mood, and he was even more ashamed to see people, and was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but the princess pulled his clothes suddenly. On the other side, Ah Yan also saw his sister-in-law's intentions, so he stepped forward and grabbed He's other arm, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, go together!" ”

He stole a glance at his mother, who was still depressed, and felt even more embarrassed to stay, so he was obediently pulled out by the pair of sisters-in-law.

On the way, the princess asked about the details of the quarrel just now, and He's naturally wouldn't say much, but the maid next to her naturally turned her heart to the housemother, so she told her aunt a little excited and lost her words before, so that everyone knew why He's wanted to be like this, and it was shameful to be ridiculed by the jealous woman and her husband to be punished with a cane, and it was indeed unbearable for others to change, and it was indeed normal for He to have this reaction.

Hearing this, Ah Yan's little lady suddenly became angry for the He family, and said angrily: "Uncle and mother said this, it's really too much, the second brother is wandering outside, that is also known to everyone, and it is not your sister-in-law who instigated and indulged him." When he was punished, he was also to blame. It makes no sense for my uncle to blame you for this! Sister-in-law, if you want to go, you should teach your family how to do things and speak so unfairly, if you still want to leave, I will take someone to send you out later, and no one can stop you! ”

Princess Xingnan couldn't cry or laugh when she heard her sister-in-law so indignant and warm-hearted, but when she turned her head and saw He's eyebrows, she was more sad, and she was not relieved by Ah Yanniang's righteous voice.

In the final analysis, this little lady is indifferent and thinks things too simply. Ordinary small couples and family affairs can't be forced to say right or wrong, and the marriage of the two families like Shen He and Shen He inevitably involves more, and how can it be simple to judge right and wrong.

If the He family was really encouraged by this little lady to run away, then today's matter would not end well. Xu's gaffe is true that the woman knows how to protect her shortcomings, and the family's pro-cane scolding Shen Mu has already given an explanation to He's relatives, if He really leaves home because of this, it is that she is a woman who doesn't know how to make things bigger, and once it is not handled properly, it may even directly make the two families completely vicious and become a family feud.

"Ah Yan, what are you talking about? No wonder my mother often wants to discipline you because of this, I am already a wife at your age, you are still raised at home, with your father and brother to rely on, even if there is any mistake, someone will tolerate and understand. But there are a few people in this world who are like fathers and brothers who are all conniving at you, and they are always strong, which is to make people annoyed for a long time! ”

Princess Xingnan straightened her face and said to her sister-in-law: "Your brother doesn't care about internal affairs, and I, as a sister-in-law, always have the responsibility to teach you." In previous years, when I was at home, I was as strong as a lady like you, even if I taught you to know things, I would not use those "female commandments" to force orders. My family is noble, and my wife naturally can't be bullied, but this is not a reason for you to be strong. ”

"When husband and wife get along, if they are too respectful, they will be sparse, and if they are too close, they will be profane. The harmony and grasp within the square inch is where the harmony of yin and yang lies. Husband and wife are one, but where is the difference between right and wrong? You have to distinguish right from wrong, how can a stupid husband who is good for nothing be worthy of a flawless wife? If you dispute a point, you will be estranged for a point, and for a long time, there will be a difference between high and low, even if you are a virtuous body, you are not a virtuous woman! ”

Mrs. Yan didn't expect her righteous speech to cause her sister-in-law to reprimand her, and the corners of her mouth were a little aggrieved, and she said angrily in a low voice: "It's really like my sister-in-law said, should we women be born weak?" This time it was obviously the second brother who did something wrong, should the second sister-in-law swallow her voice and endure it? So why should the family teach me right and wrong, in short, in the future, they will be husband and wife, and they will be in the same pollution. That's not how my brother taught me......"

"Your brother Huaina Huanyu Cangsheng, what he teaches you has always been subtle, how much do you know how much this lady knows, you dare to boast that you have comprehended everything?"

When Princess Xingnan heard this, she laughed: "How can there be no one in this world? Even if it is a beast, it is a treasure in the eyes of its parents. Ordinary people have nothing to do with you, so you don't care whether they are good or bad. But if there is a man who is destined to be one with you, how can you look at him with ordinary eyes? He is bad in all ways, but one is good, and you should also help him to abandon all evil and manifest a good, and his good is your good. If you look at him normally, he will treat you normally, the difference between fire and water is stark, but it is a relationship of living in the same room, it should not be intimate, but it cannot be parted, and what each other gets, naturally only suffering and colliding. ”

Regarding her sister-in-law's words, Ah Yan's little lady couldn't fully understand it for a while. But after listening to it, the He family, who had been parallel, gradually changed his sad and sad face, and even looked at Princess Xingnan with a little weakness, and saw that the princess was just teaching her sister-in-law with a serious face, and the tense heartstrings were relaxed again, but her thoughts became complicated by the princess's words.

The He family doesn't have any intimacy and love for his husband Shen Mu, just like many women in the world, they are only dependent and coexistent, and they have to be entrusted, not to mention whether they are affectionate or not. On weekdays, Yu is admittedly gentle and gentle in the court, but he only convinces himself to accept the reality a little bit by reason, and he does respect each other.

She was a woman, and although she was not very assertive, she was not completely unreceptive to outside information. In the early years of marriage, there was no shortage of family members such as father and brother who sighed that they had wronged her, and they were inferior to the Shen family. After all, in terms of reputation in terms of wind reviews, the Huiji He family is a famous sect of etiquette, and his grandfather He Xun is known as the "Jiangbiao Confucianism", and the reputation of the family is not comparable to the sudden rise of the martial arts portal of the Shen family.

Although the He family does not despise her husband's family because of this, it is true that since she got married, she has not reported any big expectations to Shen Mu, and she has both children like ordinary people, and her mother's family is getting better because of this friendship.

She is not very picky about such days, and she doesn't even care much about Shen Mu's wandering outside, and she doesn't have the luxury of being pampered alone. It is precisely because of this reason that this time my mother accused her of being a jealous woman, so she could not accept it, and she asked herself that what she did had nothing to do with jealousy.

As for resentment, there are naturally some of them, and this is human nature. What's more, what Shen Mu did was so ridiculous that even the onlookers felt that it was a bit excessive, not to mention that her father and brother often complained in front of her that this son-in-law was acting absurdly and caused them to be ridiculed, and even the maids around her had a lot of arguments that her housemother was too wronged.

Although the people around him had negative comments about Shen Mu, He could only sigh that he was a good person. Because she knew very well that it would be difficult for her to get rid of Shen Mu in her life, no matter how fierce her father and brother complained in front of her, what they said was nothing more than the Shen family's domineering, too indulgent to their children and ignoring the dignity of their in-laws.

In other words, the father and brother did not dare to support the He family completely hard, they still wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they just hoped that the Shen family's in-laws could save some face for them, not to put themselves in their shoes to support their own mother.

Princess Xingnan's unintentional words touched the He family greatly, and she was also asking herself in her heart that her husband was really as useless and undesirable as the people around her said? Does her self-righteous and ladylike posture be as impeccable as she was upbringing?

If fate is destined to be inseparable, who is harming her, a gentle and flawless virtuous woman, and must force her to be assigned to Shen Mu, a useless villain?

A lot of miscellaneous thoughts followed, so that the He family forgot to feel self-harm for a while, and unconsciously arrived at Shen Yun's family's home.

Although a large number of Shen's family came to the north, no one could stay in the countryside, Shen Yun's father Shen Hong assumed the responsibility of staying behind, and Shen Yun's wife and children went directly north from Jiangxia to Luo.

Several concubines and sisters-in-law came to visit, and Shen Yun's wife, Chen, was also pleasantly surprised, and was busy greeting them, and led their children out to worship the elders. This time the house was noisy, and Chen naturally heard about it, especially seeing that the tears in the corners of He's eyes had not dried, and he knew more in his heart, but a few eldest sisters-in-law did not mention it silently, and she naturally would not take the initiative to say it without interest.

Several people sat in the flower hall and gossiped, which was also the leading topic of Princess Xingnan, Chen's Xiaoyi responded, and He's was still speechless.

As for Ah Yan's little lady, she has a lively and idle temperament, and she has long left her sister-in-law's precepts behind on the road, and looks in the room with great interest. Her attention was soon drawn to the delicate boxes in the room, which were ajar and concealed, revealing the contents of which were fine fan bones and fan surfaces.

"Folding fan, folding fan, my brother's fan!"

Ah Yan's little lady muttered a not-so-funny homonym in her mouth, and went up to pick it up with great interest: "Fifth sister-in-law, what are you doing with so many fans at home?" Is it also a regional specialty of Jiangxia? Hey, why are there so many words on this fan, and the writing is quite beautiful. Sister-in-law, what do you think is written here? ”

While speaking, Ah Yan returned to the seat with more than a dozen fans in his hand and handed them to Princess Xingnan.

Seeing this, Chen on the other side first wanted to speak and then stopped, and after a while, he covered his mouth and laughed lowly: "It's really making my sisters-in-law laugh, where is this property, it's just a hobby of the husband." The gossip in the curtain is not afraid of laughter, my family is also a small accumulation of old voices, and the brothers in the family are often ashamed of their husbands who do not know the scriptures and righteousness, and do not make them close. The husband has been working since he was young, and he has little leisure to learn, and he is often ashamed of it. I have been idle in my room for a long time, so I make these small fans for my husband to take with him, even if I can't soak in prostitution and grow, I can still be timid......

While speaking, some fans were passed in the banquet, and He also got some in his hands, only to see that Juanxiu copied many scriptures and annotated them in small characters, and the handwriting was clear and easy to understand, which showed the intentions.

Seeing this scene, He couldn't help but feel more deeply, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Princess Xingnan didn't expect to come to visit Shen Yun on a spur of the moment, and she actually got such a good example of teaching by word and deed, so she also took the opportunity to pull He's wrist and said: "The brothers who grew up in the court gate are inevitably disrespectful. Although the husband and wife are close relatives, after all, they only get along day and night after their respective courts grow up. Most of the men's ambitions are out of the way, if we want to seek harmony in the door, we, as women, should always do our best. Daughters can also have great ambitions, and within the size of the door curtain is where our work lies. It's all gossip about outsiders, and the gains and losses still depend on their own hearts. ”

The corners of He's mouth twitched for a moment, and his face touched deeper, but he still didn't speak.

"My sister-in-law and I are both women, and I will not persuade you to be wronged and forbear. The second brother is on the side, and the general often says that the side is dangerous, and he is afraid of mistakes, and there is even no shortage of dreams to wake up. If my sister-in-law feels that it is inevitable that I will be separated from each other, although the woman does not dare to speak lightly about foreign affairs, but for the sake of the family, I am also willing to speak up for your sister-in-law, or don't use it, or ......"

"No, no!"

When He heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt the princess's words, and then his face became ashamed again, and he lowered his head and said: "I have been living in seclusion for many years, and I can't stop myself when I encounter trouble, and I have to rely on a few younger brothers and wives to explain, I'm really ashamed......"

Speaking of this, she squeezed out a smile again, looked at her younger brother-in-law Chen and said: "There are more than five brothers in the family, fortunately the younger brother-in-law is so compassionate, and the fifth brother will also grow up day by day." I also want to borrow the model text of the scriptures used by my brother-in-law, I don't know if it's possible? ”

His husband was praised, and Chen was naturally happy, and he was busy and asked people to get Fan Wenlai.

At this time, suddenly there was a strange sound outside the door, and everyone looked in surprise, only to see Shen Yun walking towards the flower hall covered in dust and with a gray face, and his mouth was angry: "A few young people actually dare to ambush me while I am half drunk, it's really annoying!" Where are people? Quickly take out the staff and follow me to revenge...... Hey? Why are the sisters-in-law here? ”

Not to mention that Princess Xingnan and the He family looked strange, Shen Yun's wife Chen had just been praised for being a virtuous helper, and when she saw her husband walking in embarrassment, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head between her sleeves.

Shen Yun was full of the shame of being embarrassed by the black hand at this time, and he didn't feel that the atmosphere in the hall was strange, and he walked around the flower hall and found a bamboo cane and walked out, grinning at the corners of his mouth and saying to a few sisters-in-law sitting in the hall: "Sisters-in-law testify for me, this time it's not that I am bullying the small, although there is a black cloth to cover my head just now, but I clearly heard the laughter of Ah He and a few people, and it is time to teach them what it means to be young and old!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his own lady who had shrunk into a ball of shame: "Yes, the lady remember to copy the 'Aunt Treated' on the fan later, if I had known that my brother had warned me, I would not have suffered from this black hand!" ”
