Chapter 276 A lot of changes
"Madam, there is good news from the front. It is said that the second brother-in-law has made great achievements in suppressing bandits. He has been promoted two ranks. Now he is from the sixth rank of Qianzong. After the year, he will be transferred to the Yiyang Fucheng General Camp to be on duty. ." The grandmother next to Pei smiled and came to report the good news to Pei. She knew that her eldest wife also loved Yueniang, her niece. In this generation of the Su family, she was the only direct descendant to have such a daughter. Women are no better than concubines. Even the eldest lady loves her niece very much.
"Sure enough, it is a happy event. I was originally thinking about how my father-in-law found such a husband for Yueniang. I feel sorry for Yueniang. Now it seems that my father-in-law is not confused. He must have taken a fancy to the Han family boy. Although I’m only a sixth grader, but at such an age, it’s very rare to reach this position by one’s own ability.”
Mrs. Pei was also happy when she heard the news. Generally speaking, the Su family is very harmonious, especially the second wife was separated early according to the ancestral precepts. The infrequent contact between the sisters-in-law led to less conflicts. Even the second house ate because of the ancestral precepts. It's a big loss that he can't have descendants in the officialdom, which makes the eldest brother feel guilty towards his second wife, and he is more tolerant and protective, so Mr. Pei is also happy to see his second wife doing well.
Pei Yuhan listened but felt very uncomfortable. If nothing else, she was also the legitimate daughter. She was the legitimate daughter of Zhizhou, but she was reduced to the point where she wanted to take refuge with her aunt. Su Wenyue was just a businessman's niece, but she was pampered and pampered by thousands of people since she was a child. She wanted to grow up, and Su Wenyue's attitude towards her last time was really not friendly. The look she looked at her was clearly filled with disdain and contempt. How could she not feel annoyed that she was just a businessman's niece, but she actually looked down on her and looked down on her? The two concubines were very affectionate.
"Aunt, speaking of which, the two cousins have been living in the Han family for a long time. Why haven't they come back yet? They said they were just going to stay for a few days." Pei Yuhan couldn't say bad things about Su Wenyue, but she felt really uncomfortable. I have to find something to do, not to mention living in the Su Mansion these days, I always feel uncomfortable. Without the two concubines of my aunt's family, she can be at her mercy. Although the people in the second room are businessmen, they are all very tough. , did not take her as the legitimate daughter of Zhizhou into consideration at all, and that Feng Ruolin was even more hateful. Even her aunt's legitimate daughter-in-law did not dare to teach her a lesson, but she was different. Every time he saw her, he always made a few sarcastic remarks, Her aunt didn't even help her.
"It seems that I have lived here for quite some time."
"Aunt, these two concubines don't know the rules. They haven't come back after living in the Han family for so long. It seems they don't take you to heart, aunt. After all, they crawled out of aunt's belly. It's nothing. Good stuff." Pei Yuhan said as she saw a look of displeasure on Mrs. Pei's face. She felt a little proud. She hated concubines. It was not only her stepmother who treated her badly when she was in the house. , several concubines also relied on their aunt's favor to climb over her, her legitimate daughter, which she could not tolerate.
Although Mrs. Pei was a little dissatisfied with the behavior of the two concubines, she did not agree with her niece's words. Instead, she questioned her niece's upbringing. After all, she had been raised crookedly by her stepmother for so long.
"Yu Han, you must not say such words again in the future. As a girl who has not yet left the court, you should pay special attention to your words and deeds. Such vulgar words should not come out of your mouth. Your mother left early and your stepmother has no intention of educating you. Your temper has gone crazy."
When Mrs. Pei said that she saw the expression of tears on her niece's face again, she felt helpless again: "I am your aunt, so naturally I am thinking about you. Look at you now. I just said a few words, but I still care about you." Hello, why are you crying like this? What can't you say properly? You are old now. It's time to talk about marriage. You see a lady from a wealthy family marrying a daughter-in-law for her children and grandchildren? What matters is not a woman’s moral character. Being virtuous and dignified is what a daughter from a wealthy family should be like. Don’t follow the example of those coquettish aunts.”
Pei Yuhan originally felt aggrieved and wanted to cry, but she didn't dare after hearing what her aunt said. She had a stepmother at home and her father didn't care about her. Only her aunt was her supporter. She must not offend her aunt or make her unhappy, but she felt sad in her heart. Somewhat sad. In fact, she didn't do this before, but after her mother passed away, she was often bullied. She found that this trick was effective and could make people pity, so she showed weakness at every turn. Now she has developed a habit. This is not her fault. The only one to blame is Can you blame this world for being too unfair?
"Yes, aunt, Yuhan knows, and she won't be like this again." Pei Yuhan said very obediently. After staying with Pei for so long, she still has some understanding of her aunt's character and knows how to do things that are beneficial to her. .
When Mrs. Pei saw Pei Yuhan like this, she softened her expression and even showed a bit of pity: "That's right. You just need to remember that my aunt is asking for it for your own good. Hey, you are also a poor child. If my sister-in-law If you are still there, I will definitely be able to educate you very well, and you will not be any worse than those noble ladies from the world, as fate has done."
Pei Yuhan disagreed with Pei's words. If her mother was still here, she wouldn't be worse than those noble ladies. Could it be that she is worse than those noble ladies now? ! Pei Yuhan learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from her husband since she was a child. Later, she worked hard to practice piano skills. She considered herself a "talented girl" and had a high-spirited character.
Pei Yuhan didn't agree with Pei's words and felt that Pei looked down on her, but she couldn't refute it. She just lowered her head and kept silent. It looked like she missed her mother, which made Pei feel pity and soft-hearted. Forget it, she is also a Poor child, she just needs to take more care of him in the future. With her teachings, even if his temper is a bit unpleasant, he can't be raised crooked.
The people of the Su family did not expect Su Wenyue to come back so soon. The good news came yesterday. The two sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang also came back together. They had lived in the Han family for a while, but they looked a lot different. Not only in their clothes, but also in their temperament. They were not as timid as before. They walked with their heads held high and their chests held high. They looked like young ladies from aristocratic families, not like the unappreciated concubines in the harem.
Not to mention that others saw the changes in the sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang, even Pei was a little surprised when she saw them. These two concubines were very different from what she remembered. They were less cautious and fearful, and more sincere and open. During this period, Pei felt a lot about Pei Yuhan's upbringing. Seeing the changes in the two concubines was a bit happy.
Pei was not a short-sighted person. Although she was not close to concubines, she did not have much prejudice. Anyway, the sons in the family came from her belly. The existence of concubines would not pose any threat to her status. If the concubines were well-educated, she would be proud to take them out.
