Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

In a courtyard to the west of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, Mrs. Li, the second wife of Chu, was looking at the plate of golden cakes with hatred and said, "Go, take this golden cake and feed it to Gun'er."

Gun'er is a pet cat raised by Mr. Li.

Second Master Chu Chu Ling'an said quickly, "Mom, don't waste things. Mom doesn't want it, I want it. Even the third aunt said that my sister-in-law's skills are comparable to those of the royal chef."

Mrs. Li tapped him with her index finger and said angrily, "You have no future, so I bought you with this useless idea."

Chu Ling'an said helplessly, "Mom, just listen to your son's advice. You have offended everyone in this house. Don't make the relationship with your sister-in-law too tense. That way, grandpa will dislike you even more, dad." I will be even more angry. Before my grandma passed away, she gave us a lot of private rooms in this house. In the past few years, my grandpa also used my mother to get a lot of them. My son estimated that the money and goods in my mother’s hands were no less than fifty thousand taels of silver. That's enough. If we divide this room and add the money for the division, life won't be difficult anymore."

When Chu Ling'an was seven years old, he was taken to the outer courtyard by the old Marquis. Although the old man himself did not teach him every day, he also invited good teachers to teach his grandson. He didn't dare to let his son and daughter-in-law teach his grandson bad things, otherwise the second wife would be completely ruined.

Chu Ling'an didn't do well in his studies and didn't even get admitted as a scholar. Last year, Mr. Chu San got him a job in the Royal Forest Army. Although he is not as capable as Chu Lingxuan, he is well-behaved, relatively calm in his work, and does not have many evil thoughts, so the old Marquis still likes this grandson very much.

Mrs. Li didn't like hearing her son's comments the most, and she wasn't happy that her son had no ambition, just like his father. She snorted coldly, "Wouldn't it be sad if we were separated? If we were separated, we would be a side branch of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Your father doesn't even have a real vacancy, and you are just a seventh-grade official. Our house will be completely different." It’s gone.”

When Mrs. Li thought about moving out of the Hou Mansion, her heart felt like needles pricking her heart. When she first married into the Hou Mansion, she had used some tricks to get it from her sister. What does it matter if the man is disabled? She married into the Hou Mansion and is the young mistress of the Hou Mansion. Her status is the most important thing.

Later, something happened to her eldest son, and she felt very happy. On the surface, she fawned over Princess Rongzhao, but privately, she fished in the troubled waters of the Hou Mansion, and gained a lot of benefits. A few years later, when she saw that Rong Zhao was childless and Chu Lingxuan did not dare to return to the capital, and was fooled into giving birth to a daughter, she thought further.

Her eyes darkened and she said, "It's all because the old man is partial, Huachang is so troubled, and it is natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her parents-in-law, but they ruined it. If Chen entered the princess's mansion, she would definitely be better than Ma She is still miserable. Let alone giving birth to a child, 80% of her life can't be saved." Her face twitched with pain, and she added, "It's a pity... If Princess Rongzhao can't give birth to a son, and Ling Xuan can't give birth to a son, then... Your uncle's title is yours. If you accept the title, we will..."

"Mom, you're stupid!" Chu Ling'an yelled. He got up and went to the window to take a look. He was relieved when he saw no one was outside. He sat over and whispered, "Mom, please put an end to this stupid idea. If this word gets out, , Grandpa, the first bedroom, the third bedroom, Princess Rongzhao, they will not let you go, they will not let our room go."

Her son's nervousness made Ms. Li laugh, and she said, "Look at your potential, how can you do big things if you are so scared with just a few words?" Then she laughed and said, "I don't know if Ms. Chen saw the red envelope I gave her. , how angry she would be! Huh, I just despise her. An illegitimate daughter of a prefect, who doesn’t know how to be filial to her parents-in-law, doesn’t know how to coax her sister-in-law well, is only worth so much money. "

When Chu Ling'an heard that his mother only gave Chen Afu twenty taels of silver, he sighed and said, "If my father knew that my mother was like this, he would be so angry that he would not visit this house for a year."

Li said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Chen doesn't dare to say it. The elders gave her twenty taels of silver as a greeting gift. They obviously looked down on her and slapped her in the face. She was too embarrassed to say it and slapped herself in the face..."

In the evening, Chu Lingxuan returned to Zhuxuan, and the two went to Anrong Hall for dinner together. Except for New Year's Day, the Chu family usually eats in their own room, but today is the wedding ceremony, so dinner will be eaten here.

The Chu Hua family spent a day playing in Anrong Hall. Chu Hua has lived with Mrs. Chu San since he was ten years old. The two have a very good relationship, like mother and daughter, and like sisters.

The men were talking in the hall room, and the women were in the west room. Mrs. Chu San was sitting on the Arhat bed, holding Brother Heng in her arms and teasing him. Chen Afu went there, and she beckoned Chen Afu to sit next to her. They were chatting and laughing.

Mrs. Li was chatting and laughing with Chu Zhen in a low voice. The two concubines sat stupidly, and Mrs. Song, Chu Lingqi's daughter-in-law, stood behind Mrs. Li to serve.

Mrs. Li said she wanted to drink tea for a while, eat fruit for a while, and said she had pain in her shoulder. Ms. Song was very busy. They seemed to have agreed that Song was the only one busy, while the servants all stood still.

Finally, Mrs. Li smiled with satisfaction and said to Mrs. Chu San, "Ling Qi's wife is virtuous. She knows how to serve her mother-in-law and be courteous to her sister-in-law as soon as she enters the house. She is a smart and good child."

Mrs. Chu San took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I don't know what to believe Second Sister-in-law. A few days ago, you complained that Ling Qi's wife was like a mallet, pricking her and moving her, and now you are saying that she is smart?"

These two words made Li's face turn red. She wanted to refute but didn't dare. She said sarcastically, "That was a joke, but my siblings took it seriously."

Mrs. Chu San smiled again and said, "Oh, I am an honest person. I will believe whatever others say. However, I remember that when our mother-in-law was alive, she was a well-known charity person. She never let her daughter-in-law set rules. She always said that her daughter-in-law is also her father and mother. I cherished the one who grew up. There are so many servants in the house, is it possible for the servants to treat their daughter-in-law as a slave?" He said with great sincerity, "Second sister-in-law, I am in charge of this family now, if there is such a thing The slave is bullying the master, and the second sister-in-law can't control the servants. The second sister-in-law told me, I will sell them immediately."

These words not only made Madam Song blush, but also made several servants behind Madam Li tremble with fear.

The combat effectiveness of two people is not of the same level, one is like a mosquito and the other is like an elephant. Li was completely defeated and did not dare to speak, so she had to lower her head and drink tea and pretend to be stupid.

Chu Hua, who saw the excitement, smiled with crooked eyebrows and whispered to Chen Afu quietly, "If Mr. Li dares to bully my sister-in-law, please don't be polite, my third aunt will help you."

Chen Afu smiled and nodded. She only lives here for half a month and doesn't want to do anything. But if Mr. Li goes too far, she will definitely not let her go.

The meal was placed in the flower hall on the second entrance, with a table for men and a table for women and children.

Mrs. Song stood behind Ms. Li to serve her, picking up vegetables and scooping up rice for Ms. Li. Mrs. Chu San spoke again, "Please sit down and eat, wife Qi. If you want to be filial to your mother-in-law, or rub your daughter-in-law, you can go back to the second room, whatever." Okay. Here, I see the slave standing in a daze, and the master is so busy that he can't stop, so he can't help but want to deal with him. "
