Chapter 333: The Book of House Fights
...
A new day.
Today Qin Luoxia is going to visit relatives again.
Today she is going to visit the Dong family.
Because there was an earthquake yesterday.
As the future son-in-law, Feng Ge'er should visit his father-in-law.
But Feng Ge'er is not in the capital,
so Qin Luoxia should go. After all, he is the future relative.
And the New Year is coming soon, and New Year gifts must be sent before the New Year.
Qin Luoxia thinks it is better to go there in person.
But there is also a princess mother-in-law in the mansion.
You should consult the elders before doing things.
As a result, the princess mother-in-law didn't even get up to eat breakfast...
She is worthy of being a member of the royal family.
I heard that the emperor doesn't like to attend the morning court because he doesn't want to get up early to eat breakfast.
Qin Luoxia didn't understand this.
If you don't get up in the morning, wouldn't it be a loss of a meal, which is too much of a loss.
Qin Luoxia learned that the concubine slept with the princess mother-in-law, and asked her in a low voice what was wrong with the princess? Was there something inconsiderate or unhappy?
Mianmian, who slept very soundly, was a spirited girl, smiling widely and eating well.
"The princess grandmother said that she didn't sleep well, and she always dreamed of falling off a cliff in the middle of the night, so she had to make up for her sleep."
Qin Luoxia felt a little guilty after hearing this. Could it be that the princess mother-in-law asked her where she got the snake gall yesterday, and she said it was under the cliff, causing the princess mother-in-law to think about it day and dream about it night.
Forget it, let the mother-in-law continue to sleep.
She couldn't control her mother-in-law, so she asked the servants to prepare the food.
She was going to take Mianmian to visit relatives today, so she let Cong'er stay at home.
Cong'er said he was very happy, and he didn't like activities like visiting relatives.
Sitting there blankly listening to the adults chatting, he was very bored. When the topic turned to him, he had to respond with a smile.
But Mianmian liked visiting relatives.
She couldn't wait to gossip and chat with the adults.
After having breakfast happily, she dressed up and followed her mother to visit relatives.
Qin Luoxia prepared generous gifts. She brought the little girl with her because she wanted Mianmian to get acquainted with Miss Dong first. She heard that Miss Dong was gentle and generous, so Mianmian should learn from her.
When they arrived at the Dong Mansion,
Mrs. Dong received them.
Last time, she didn't know that the other party was a member of the royal family, but fortunately she didn't neglect them.
This time, knowing that the other party was a member of the royal family, Mrs. Dong was a little nervous.
Just like ordinary people have a filter for the powerful, the powerful also have a filter for the royal family.
The class is clear.
It is very difficult to cross the class.
When reading stories, we can always see that ordinary people study, pass the imperial examinations, become officials, and gradually become big and powerful to become wealthy families.
Such people are a minority, so they will be repeatedly used as classic inspirational stories and told to people from ancient times to the present, which will lead to survivor bias, thinking that this is the norm.
In fact, it may be that the sons of wealthy and powerful families enjoy higher education and then get good grades in the examinations, and have famous teachers and elders to protect them all the way in the officialdom, and their official careers are prosperous.
There are no ordinary scholars, and those who can study are no longer ordinary people.
There is no compulsory education, all education is non-compulsory.
Poor families refer to low-powered aristocratic families or declining famous families. The ancestors may be three dukes, nine ministers, historians, and wealthy people.
Ordinary people are not worthy of poor families. We work without a job, and are usually called hooligans (no house, no status, no proper profession, hooligans).
In short, most of the counterattacks of ordinary people can be passed down through the ages.
The reason why Jiang Changtian, who was expelled from his family, was legendary and unacceptable was because he was originally a son of a poor family. After being expelled from his family, he became a gangster, but he climbed to his current position. The
Dong family is from an aristocratic family, and the Jiang family can be said to be a newcomer to the court. Jiang Changtian did not return to his ancestral home before.
Therefore, the Dong family was able to take a fancy to the Jiang family and married a girl of a lower status, which was incredible to many people. This is also the reason why the family of Minister Liu heard the news and came to the door many times, because they felt that the Jiang family was not worthy. The
Dong family originally planned to marry their daughter of a lower status and give a larger dowry so that their daughter could live a stable life. As a result, they suddenly changed their minds and were said to be scheming by the people in the capital. A daughter who had broken off the engagement also married the eldest grandson of the eldest princess, and had a bright future.
The jealous Madam Liu even cursed at home, cursing Jiang Feng to die on the battlefield and not come back, so that everyone would see the fate of the young lady of the Dong family, whoever gets involved will be unlucky.
Qin Luoxia brought Mianmian to the door.
She brought a New Year gift, a full set of skin care products and toiletries.
The packaging was very delicate.
There were also essential oils and perfumes that were not sold to the outside world.
The bottles looked extremely expensive.
Madam Dong was still a little worried that the other party would neglect their daughters after becoming a member of the royal family.
However, the gifts the girl received during this period were far more than her dowry.
It can be seen that the other party valued her. She was
also a little worried that her daughter E'e would not be worthy of her. The eldest daughter-in-law of a minister and the eldest granddaughter-in-law of a princess are still different.
The girl was naive because of her. Although she was not ignorant of the world, she was almost.
When her daughter was getting married, she was worried that she would not have a good marriage or suffer too much.
Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang came over, just like last time.
She was still a heroic lady.
She hadn't changed at all.
When Mrs. Dong saw Mrs. Jiang like this, her eyes sparkled.
Mianmian was a little puzzled. Mrs. Dong looked like a star-chaser of her time, with light in her eyes.
When Mrs. Dong saw Mianmian, she hugged her and rubbed her, praising her for her good looks.
Then Mianmian also saw her future sister-in-law.
At the first meeting, she felt that she was like a family member.
The aura is good.
She is a bit like her elder sister, but seems a little quieter.
Her eyes are also bright, and she is a lively lady from a noble family.
Qin Luoxia greeted her formally like a lady from a noble family.
Then Dong E took Mianmian to play.
Madam Dong happily talked privately with Madam Jiang.
Madam Dong is very straightforward.
Qin Luoxia likes to get along with such straightforward people.
There is no pressure in chatting.
Qin Luoxia said that she came late because the princess mother-in-law was at home last night.
Madam Dong was very curious about Princess Huiyun.
Basically, people of Madam Dong's generation grew up with the legend of Princess Huiyun from their parents.
"I heard that Princess Huiyun is very arrogant, and she keeps people at a distance, and she doesn't care about people easily. Is she difficult to serve?"
Qin Luoxia thought of the princess mother-in-law who would throw herself into her arms and cry when her husband was not around... She kept people at a distance? She ignored people?
Not possible.
"No, mother is very kind, and she doesn't need to be served."
Mrs. Dong nodded, saying, "I understand. "
Her mother-in-law also seemed very kind, and she didn't need her to serve her, but she thought she was clumsy.
Fortunately, when her mother-in-law was here, they didn't live in the same place.
Every family has its own problems.
Mrs. Dong was worried that Mrs. Jiang came from Jingzhou and didn't understand the twists and turns of the capital. Her mother-in-law looked like a bold heroine, and she definitely didn't understand what was going on.
After all, Mrs. Dong, who was born in an aristocratic family, really liked her mother-in-law and was ready to share her experience in house fighting with Mrs. Jiang.
The old nanny behind Mrs. Dong looked up at the roof. The painted flowers on the roof were very beautiful.
Madam, you don’t need to teach me. Really, Jiang Yu, the daughter of the Jiang family, is a template for house fighting in Beijing. She has many old friends who rely on analyzing Mrs. Meng’s actions to teach and have earned enough money for their retirement in the next life.
How could the mother of such a girl know nothing?
It’s you who doesn’t understand.
In the old nanny’s body, an old nanny A twisted and screamed, and then was knocked unconscious by a stick from old nanny B.
Madam Dong said it very seriously. To be honest, she hadn't taught anyone else yet. She didn't teach anyone else, but she saw that Madam Jiang had a liking for her.
"Courtesy first, then military tactics... ways to create trouble... blah blah blah..." When Madam Dong got married, her husband, Minister Dong, gave her a book that summarized and taught her how to deal with her mother-in-law. Madam Dong had never memorized a book in her life, but she memorized this one. Today, under the sudden admiring eyes of her in-laws, she recited it to her.
Passing on the torch.
Qin Luoxia nodded as she listened, thinking, the people in the capital are really amazing, and you can't underestimate the women in the capital. There are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and the things between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the inner house have even come up with military tactics. It
's amazing. I wonder if my future daughter-in-law Dong E will be amazing.
...
In the yard, Dong E led Mian Mian, climbed up the wall from the small ladder in the backyard, and were breaking off the icicles on the roof together.
Dong E held a ball of icicles towards the clean blue sky above, and asked Mian Mian: "Look, I have a cloud in my hand."
Mian Mian happened to be looking down, and sure enough, the ball of ice looked like a cloud in the sky under the sunlight.
"Sister-in-law, I have one too." She picked up a long piece of ice and said to her sister-in-law: "This is a sword, it kills without leaving any trace, because it melts after killing."
Dong E was amazed, her sister-in-law was so smart.
"Then I'll hide the poison in an ice cube. If someone eats it, it will be invisible."
"Sister-in-law, you don't need ice to poison. Water will do. Dry water or noodle soup or bird's nest soup will be better."
