Chapter 277 A rift
Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang paid their respects to Mrs. Pei, but they didn't say much. They stood aside as usual. Mrs. Pei just answered every question. As a concubine, what you need is not to be clever and clever, but to be honest, sensible and well-behaved. Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang both understood it well, so they had been doing this for so many years so as not to offend anyone.
"Yue Niang, please greet my eldest aunt, eldest aunt, how are you living here these days? After all, the water and soil are different, the weather here is relatively humid, but looking at eldest aunt's complexion, I don't know how to maintain it. "The more you live, the younger you become." Su Wenyue said with a smile, holding Pei's hand affectionately, as if she were her own mother.
"Okay, you have such a sweet mouth. Listen to this, no one gets younger as they live." Mrs. Pei said this, but the smile on her face became brighter, which showed that Su Wenyue's words were useful. , which woman doesn’t love beauty, and beauty does not matter regardless of age.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, ask your two cousins. If you have a good attitude, you will naturally live younger and younger. My eldest aunt is lucky, her son is promising, and my daughter-in-law is filial. Everything goes well, but don't you mean you live younger and younger? ”
Su Wenyue said that she did not forget to bring Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang with her. She had just seen that her aunt was quite cold towards the two sisters Lan Xin and Lan Fang, and Pei Yuhan had a proud look on his face gloating over his misfortune, so she knew that Pei Yuhan must be sowing discord. She brought it back and helped her a lot. Now that she has brought it back, how can the eldest aunt blame the two sisters Lan Xin and Lan Fang for this reason?
Lan Xin and Lan Fang understood Su Wenyue's kindness, and they agreed: "No, my mother seems to be getting younger and younger. My cousin is absolutely right."
Mrs. Pei didn't care about the compliments of the two concubines, but instead praised Su Wenyue: "Our Yueniang is getting better and better at talking. No wonder the second brother and sister-in-law treat you so much. If I had such a daughter, , but don’t look at it like an eyeball.
"If eldest aunt really wants to have a girl, she can treat me as her daughter. I'm very surprised that eldest aunt loves her." Su Wenyue said with a coquettish smile, which made Pei feel happy again.
"Speaking of which, I want to say thank you to my eldest aunt. A lot of things have happened these days. I originally wanted to take my two cousins over to stay for a few days, but as a result, I encountered so many things that I couldn't take care of them alone, so I stayed here longer. I have been living with my two cousins for a few days. My eldest aunt has raised them very well. She is not fussy and responsible when things happen. She has helped me a lot during this time. "
Su Wenyue understood that even if Pei Yuhan provoked her, she was just talking about it. Rather than talking about it like this, it was better to talk about it. Although the eldest aunt didn't like the two concubines very much, she was sensible.
When Ms. Pei heard what Su Wenyue said, she looked at Lan Xin and Lan Fang and her expressions warmed up a bit: "They are still young, so they can't help much, but it's always good to have this kind of heart, and I haven't wasted all these years." After making friends with them, I know how to help the sisters.”
"My aunt said this because she underestimated my two cousins. At that time, my husband went to the mountains to suppress bandits, and the people in the Li family had bad intentions. I was worried about my family. Thanks to Lan Xin and Lan Fang, I have a decent master. Here, I am much better than the servants, and I think Lan Xin and Lan Fang are both capable of taking on the trouble. When the trouble came, not only did they not say that they wanted to go back, but they were willing to stay and help me. The situation at that time was not without danger at all. , I am only grateful for this, even though my brother and sister-in-law came over later, it was also thanks to them who stayed with me these days and comforted me from time to time. "
Su Wenyue deliberately made the situation more dangerous at that time, so as to show the importance of Lan Xin and Lan Fang.
"Why are Yueniang talking about this? After all, you are cousins. Although our Su family is divided, our friendship is not. Sisters should help each other." After speaking, Mrs. Pei looked at sisters Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang.
"You did the right thing this time. It's not in vain that I taught you all these years to be sensible. Since you have this ability, don't just sit around in the house all day. Come over and help me take care of some things in the future. "Pei's tone of voice was very satisfied, and he actually wanted to cultivate sisters Lan Xin and Lan Fang.
Lan Xin and Lan Fang were a little excited. However, they did not respond immediately and did not dare to show too much joy. Instead, they looked uneasy and worried: "Thanks to my mother's love, we can help her take care of things. We are extremely grateful." Yes, but we have never done it before, and we are afraid that if we do not do it well, we will betray our mother’s trust.”
Mrs. Pei became even more satisfied after hearing the words of the two concubines. She was calm and said: "What are you afraid of? You never learn anything from the beginning. You sisters are not too young, especially Sister Xin." , have reached the age where we can talk about marriage. After getting married and becoming a housewife, taking care of the household chores will be the first thing. It’s time to learn. The daughters from our marquis’ mansion are good in everything. We can’t let them People look down upon it.”
"Thank you mother for your teachings. We sisters will definitely study hard and will never embarrass our mother or lose the face of the Marquis." Lan Xin and Lan Fang suppressed the joy in their hearts and responded in unison.
One of the things they were most worried about before was that their aunt would send them as concubines to high-ranking nobles in order to help the family. Now it seems that their aunt has no such thoughts, otherwise she would not say such a thing. She would rather Poor housewives are not concubines of high families. Their sisters have watched their aunts humble themselves in front of their legitimate mothers since they were young. They have no status in the family, and even their children are not valued. Their status is not much higher than that of a slave with a low profile in the family. I don't expect to marry well, I just hope that I won't be like my aunt, living without any dignity.
Pei Yuhan finally provoked Mrs. Pei to be dissatisfied with the two concubines, and she was lectured by Mrs. Pei. Now, with just a few words from Su Wenyue, Mrs. Pei was so happy that she even treated the two The concubine looked at them differently, feeling hatred in her heart, but she couldn't find anything wrong. Suddenly she saw the clothes Lan Xin and Lan Fang were wearing, and an idea came to her mind.
"Aunt, speaking of which, the two cousins have been living in the Han family for a long time. Even their temperaments and clothing are different. Look at the clothes on the two cousins. Both the materials and workmanship are of the best. They look better than those in other houses. The legitimate daughter inside is even more elegant. I heard that the clothes were made by Cousin Yue herself. Even my aunt is not so lucky to wear clothes made by Cousin Yue herself. "
As soon as Pei Yuhan said these words, Su Lanxin and Su Lanfang looked at Pei with some worry. It would be bad if there was a rift between their aunt and cousin because of their relationship.
