Chapter 79: The Disadvantages of the Great Clan

Jiang's visit to the Imperial Capital this time was partly because of reading the letters from Yun Fenghuang, Xie Xiliu and Xiao Chen's relatives, sons and daughters-in-law, and was angry, and partly because he was forced by his parents-in-law to go on the road.

She is well aware of the dispositions of her own flesh and blood, Xie Xiliu is relatively the most innocent, and as for her daughter and daughter-in-law, they are not easy-going lamps.

It's just that her daughter is deeply loved and spoiled by Qi Jiulu, so she behaves more domineeringly.

Xiao Chen looks virtuous, magnanimous and sensible, but in essence she refuses to suffer. It is simply because she has never been admired by the stars like Yun Fenghuang in her natal family or her husband's house, so she shows her gentleness to others, but she is a hidden needle temper.

All in all, the Jiang family didn't believe that they could suffer any big losses from the people in the other room!

At most, Yun Fenghuang wanted to hit his family, and Xiao Chen wanted to take advantage of it.

So even though he was rushed out of the house in a hurry, Jiang did not hurry along the way.

This is because firstly it was winter, and it was not easy to travel from the north to the south with torrential wind and snow; secondly, she didn't want to be led by the nose by her daughter-in-law when she came to the imperial capital because she was too eager to travel, so she had to think hard on the way To sum up, guess the truth to decide what kind of attitude you will adopt after arriving in the imperial capital?

But even if she was ready to play with her son, daughter-in-law and daughter along the way, she couldn't help but be moved by the way Xiao Chen washed her face with tears all day long: "You just get up and talk about it! My mother is already here, Since you entered the door until now, when did my mother tell you that you have been wronged for nothing?!"

Mrs. Chen also believed in her mother-in-law's methods very much. She put in so much effort because she wanted to use Mrs. Jiang's hand to step down all the other houses!

Tell them not to fight with Sifang in the future!

They even suppressed Xie Xiaoyu and his wife who accompanied Jiang.

Thinking of this, she sobbed and thanked Jiang for his support, and then greeted Xie Xiaoyu and his wife with tears in her voice. When the whole family entered the house, she began to cry about the whole family with snot and tears. The ins and outs, of course, are the version with added oil and vinegar.

The point is to emphasize how ungrateful the other rooms are, how she and Xie Xiliu wanted to protect Yunfenghuang but were helpless because of their powerlessness, and how the empresses in the palace could not be shamed because of the nonsense of those Xie's children. understand……

In the end, Xie Meng was asked to come out to greet Jiang, and wept, "Your Majesty is really heartbroken this time! Originally, only Kuo'er was sent here, but Meng'er was ignorant, so he helped Kuo'er with a few words." , made the empress even more sad, and even sent Meng'er back! Speaking of it, the daughter-in-law is useless, and failed to teach Menger well!"

Jiang Shi also looked at Xie Meng unkindly upon hearing this, she was partial to this granddaughter, but the fundamental reason was because Xie Meng looked exactly like Yun Fenghuang when he was young.

After all, it goes without saying which is more important, having only one biological daughter, and several granddaughters who are not her own?

At this moment, he reprimanded Xie Meng unceremoniously: "Usually I always thought you were smart, why did you go into the palace and stay by your aunt's side but became dizzy?! When things happen, you don't know how to help your aunt, but turn your elbows outwards towards outsider!"

Xie Meng felt aggrieved and said, "Cousin Kuo is also a descendant of my Xie family."

"Then she is the same mother as you?" Xiao Chen said angrily, "Not even a grandmother! You treat her as her own, she may not think so in her heart!"

"...Sister Kuo has always let me in the palace." Xie Meng muttered, "Isn't this just treating me as my own? Speaking of which, I'm still my elder sister."

Mrs. Jiang waved her hand to stop Mrs. Chen's scolding, asked Xie Meng for details, just sneered, and said, "You are really confused, you can't see Erfang's calculations so blatantly? You even asked Xie Kuo to really sneak into the palace Now, this is also Huang'er's vigilance, taking this opportunity to send people out, otherwise, Meng'er will not be used as a stepping stone for others in the future?"

Seeing that Xie Meng was stunned, she said coldly, "You also know that you are an older sister, and she makes you feel very different? Then you think that all the people in the palace are blind and can't see it? If so, they don't know what to do. Everyone must think that you are arrogant and unreasonable, but Xie Kuo is well-behaved and sensible? They are all nieces raised by the imperial concubine, with such a big difference in temperament, you are trying to make people say that you have nothing to do except being closer to the imperial concubine by blood. How about Xie Kuo, or do you want people to say that your mother-in-law and grandmother are incapable of teaching and cannot be compared with the second wife?"

Xie Meng has nothing to fear from his own parents, even she dares to act coquettishly in front of Yun Fenghuang, but she is always a little bit embarrassed towards this grandmother.

Now he didn't dare to make a sound.

"I've heard what you said on the way." Mrs. Jiang glanced at her, didn't say anything more, but turned to Mrs. Chen, frowned and said, "The second bedroom, the third bedroom and the fifth bedroom are outrageous, but you and Thirteen are not worthy !Even if the noble concubine chooses someone from the eldest family to be her son-in-law, the brother and sister-in-law she cares most about are you two? With the support of the noble concubine, you still can't hold back those people, it's a shame!"

Xiao Chen did not dare to refute, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "What mother said is that my daughter-in-law also hates her clumsy tongue, but my daughter-in-law is such a stupid person, what should I do?"

As he spoke, he covered his face with a veil and began to cry.

Some older servants came up to intercede: "Madam, please calm down, my young lady is trying her best to speak for your mother, but the people in those rooms are aggressive, and they think they are relatives, and they feel that your mother can't do anything to them. , I don't pay attention to the truth of the young lady, just blindly arrogant... My young lady is a girl, there is really no way!"

I couldn't help mentioning the previous two days, "At that time, the young lady asked them to think about the grievances that the empress had suffered, but they were lucky and said that they were right in not caring about the empress's life, otherwise, how could the empress enter the palace? How can you become a noble concubine for His Majesty? Madam, are you speaking human words? Young Madam was so angry that she almost fainted!"

"What did I tell you before?" Mrs. Jiang listened, her face sinking like water, she looked at Mrs. Chen, and said slowly, "The reason is for telling people. Some people are not human, they are like pigs and dogs , Reasoning with them is like playing the piano with a cow!"

Little Chen cried: "What mother said is that it's all bad for the daughter-in-law!"

But he was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that his mother-in-law was really angry.

Originally, the Jiang family had four sons and a daughter, and based on the normal state that things are rare and precious, although it is not that they don't care about their sons, they have been used to loving their daughters more over the years.

In addition, Yun Fenghuang is a jealous master by nature, and has been competing with Xie Fenghuan since she was a child. Because her brothers are generally much older than her, they are even more vulnerable to robbing her mother's love. They have always just stood by and watched. It's because the younger sister is tired of acting like a baby in Jiang's arms.

So even though Jiang knew that her daughter was a scheming girl, the four sons combined might not be her opponents, but she still couldn't help but miss her the most - she was such a sharp-hearted jewel, living under the fence of the imperial capital, it was enough for her to cry secretly Many times, accidentally entered the palace and experienced life and death, and paid the price of birth with a feeling of life and death before becoming a concubine. Outsiders envied Jiang's good life and having such a powerful daughter.

Jiang himself felt heart-piercing pain several times.

She told Yun Fenghuang that it was fine not to have children, that it was fine to enter the palace, and that Qi Jiulu was not a good match... In fact, is there no choice? !

If she had a choice, she would definitely want Yun Fenghuang to marry Qi Jiulu, have children and be beautiful.

At least Qi Jiulu dared to let her daughter down, she has a way to deal with this son-in-law.

But if Chunjia despises Yunfenghuang, what can the Jiang family do?

She just wanted to go to Taichu Palace to kowtow to beg Chunjia's subordinates to show mercy, but she may not be qualified!

... Otherwise, why did she coax Qi Jiulu to leave her family behind Yun Fenghuang after she left Beidi? Isn't it just so that one day he can reconnect with his daughter?

From Jiang's point of view, his daughter's life is really suffering.

As a result, people in other rooms still made such sarcastic remarks? ? ?

Is this when her own mother died? ? ?

Or was she too gentle when the sisters-in-law competed for the housekeeping power back then, so that these younger generations have forgotten her Jiang Kuang methods? ? ?

Suppressing his anger, Jiang asked Xiao Chen not to say these things: "I am an old bone, I have driven this long road, and I really can't stand it. Let's take a break before explaining the details. Your brother and sister-in-law are also the same."

Now that she was so angry that it was hard to hide it, she might die of anger on the spot if she continued to listen to it.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly wiped her face, stood up and apologized to Xie Xiaoyu and his wife, saying that she cared about the palace lady for the past two days, sobbed day and night, and was confused, but she neglected her brother and sister-in-law.

"What did Thirteen Sister-in-Law say?" Xie Xiaoyu was the one who had the best relationship with Yun Fenghuang among the brothers, and her temperament was somewhat similar, so she said at this moment, "We are all close relatives, why are we so divided? Besides, Even my sister-in-law is so injustice for the empress, let alone I am the real brother of the empress? I really wish I could go out with a knife to find those bastards right now!"

Xiao Chen narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and felt that her uncle's words "even sister-in-law" had a lot of connotations. After all, you and your empress can’t write two words of thanks in one stroke. Everyone can see how your empress has treated your brothers in the past two years! We sister-in-laws, of course, often enter the palace to accompany and comfort your empress, but compared to your empress’s Grace, what is it? But after all, they only think about the benefits given by their mother, and they completely ignore the relationship between flesh and blood! It's really chilling!"

The implication: so what if they are blood brothers? Those of you who are brothers will ask for benefits from the imperial concubine! It's not as good as our sister-in-laws, who go to the palace to accompany them from time to time, which somewhat comforts the heart of the empress.

"Sister-in-law Thirteen..." Xie Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, waiting to pay back, but the Jiang family, the first, became impatient and shouted: "I haven't figured out the grievances with your cousins, but you can't wait to fight? Or In front of my face! Why, are you planning to work together to drive away the people from the other rooms, and then choke the fourth room into a ball?"

"Mother, you misunderstood, the boy just said a few words to Thirteen Sister-in-law casually." Xie Xiaoyu said quickly, "There is no other meaning."

Little Chen glanced at him, and said: "Mother, that's the reason, my wife just wants the eighteenth brother to know how difficult it was for the mother at that time."

With a cold face, Jiang said: "I haven't reached the time when my old eyes are dim, and I don't bother to worry about other rooms, but the fourth room, whoever dares to fight with me so shallowly, get out with me! The imperial concubine can have today." Rely on yourself, even though she supports you out of kinship, if you are not her wings, but become her burden, don't think that I can't bear to clean up the house! Our family has a small property, and I have my own slaves when I get old Serving soup and medicine, even without sons and daughter-in-laws to serve you, you can still live! And the Xie family is flourishing, without you people, there will be no heirs!"

These words were so serious that Mrs. Chen and Xie Xiaoyu immediately knelt down to plead guilty, begged her to appease her anger, and promised "never again".

"...No one can worry about this bastard!!!" Jiang secretly hated in his heart, but it was not easy to continue to persecute him at the moment, so he just let them go off and do their own things with a cold face, while he brought his confidants to the back Xiao Chen rested in the yard that had been prepared a long time ago.

But in fact, how could the Jiang family rest?

After closing the doors and windows, she frowned and asked the left and right: "Look, what should we do about this?"

"It's easy to do in other rooms." Jiang Ai, the dowry confidant, said bluntly in a low voice, "When the empress is at home, except for the twenty-two young masters in the third room, she doesn't actually have any friendship with the other young masters. The reason why I use them is nothing more than watching In the name of being Xie's children, there is still a lack of manpower in the fourth room. It is our fourth room...Although you just scolded the thirteenth young lady and the eighteenth son, but this uncle and sister-in-law just met each other, that's all. I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in peace in the future."

Jiang shi sighed, and said: "I knew it would happen, that's why I didn't want to stay in the imperial capital at the beginning. Otherwise, the two elders in the family are not urging me to calm the matter and persuade the imperial concubine not to follow me. The family is divided, but I suspect that I deliberately suppress the other houses, and want the four-bedroom family to dominate."

After a pause, "I'm afraid that in the eyes of the imperial concubine, I think I don't care enough for her, so I want to go back to the Northland, and I don't want to stay in the Imperial Capital forever!"

"The empress is your own flesh and blood, what can't be justified between the biological mother and daughter?" Jiang Ai comforted, "And you did this for the good of the empress. After all, you are coming here now, because the old lady cried twice If you hang yourself three times, I swear that you will deal with it fairly. If you stay here early in the morning, I'm afraid that those few rooms will make the old lady cry, make trouble and hang herself three times, forcing you to give their children a "fairness" 'It's gone!"

"The Xie family has been detained in the Northland for too long." Jiang said with emotion, "The main reason is that the ancestors have never been a real hairpin family. They say that the long stream of water has ensured the prosperity of many generations. In the final analysis, the vision is not enough. Now that His Majesty has only been in power for a few days, the imperial concubine said that she is favored, but in fact her foundation is not stable, otherwise she would not promote her brother in such a disregard of opinion... I will fight on my own first. How is this different from destroying the Great Wall? You must know that even if you don’t read it Flesh and flesh love, only consider the pros and cons. For a noble concubine, the struggle of the four wives is nothing compared to the fact that the Xie family can serve the court? Otherwise, she was able to influence the marriage of an eldest princess and use it to the noble family. Isn't it good to make an exchange? Do you have to make the big house cheaper?"

She sighed, "I hire so many teachers every year, and I have been teaching them for so many years, but none of my sons can see clearly... I don't know what to say about these stupid people!"

Jiang Ai smiled and said: "These ladies are young, maybe they can't think about it, don't you already know it in your heart? If so, you can still deal with these things!"

"You think highly of me too. This big family has its own ideas." Jiang shook his head slightly and said, "Even my own children don't have the same heart! I can only say that I will do my best. This is the family. Ding Xingwang has both advantages and disadvantages, although there are many people, they are powerful, but they will inevitably hinder each other!"

Just as he was talking, a little maid came running outside to report that the son-in-law had heard about Jiang's arrival and had brought Princess Suian to pay his respects.
