Chapter 21 Show off
After Chen Duanlang returned, he told Chunge about the situation of the Chen family.
Everything is explained clearly, every detail.
When talking about Aunt Mao's reaction to raising the child in the third wife's name, the originally cheerful atmosphere in the room became somewhat silent.
Chunge was silent for a moment and then said: "My aunt will always understand this matter, so don't take it to heart."
Even though she said this, Chun Ge herself felt a little bit embarrassed.
After all, I am a realistic person.
Although he understood that if the new child was born at this time, he would probably be able to create a miracle and stay with Aunt Mao to raise him. However, he still chose a path that maximized profits and ignored Aunt Mao's feelings as a mother.
Some things cannot be taken for granted without hesitation.
Chen Duanlang lowered his head and could not clearly see the outline of his facial features, but his body was trembling slightly in the cool breeze.
"Sister, I know, and my aunt also knows, but my aunt is still sad. In my heart, I also feel sorry for my aunt."
Chun Ge opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, Chen Duanlang had already learned to control his emotions, at least when necessary.
Soon they were dancing and talking about the child's appearance.
"I haven't seen it, sister, but you really look like you! My aunt also kept saying that you look just like me when I was a child. If I look at those facial features, if they really look the same, anyone who looks at them will think that they are made in the same mold as my sister.
.”
Chunge listened to Chen Duanlang's words with a smile on her lips.
After Aunt Mao and the child's condition were almost explained, Chun Ge asked about the third wife.
"Mom, have you gone to say hello first?"
Etiquette cannot be discarded. No matter how many things the third wife has done, as long as she is still the mistress of the third room of the Chen family and the head wife of the third master, she and Duanlang must be respectful on the surface.
I'm a little better.
After all, there are national laws first and then family rules. She is the wife of the Duke of the country, and her first-grade imperial edict is two grades higher than that of the third wife.
As a married aunt, the proper filial piety should be to show filial piety to the dowager, the mother-in-law.
As for the mother's family, it's all about face.
But Duanlang was the son of the Chen family, and he had to be filial to his aunt, the third wife, throughout his life.
No matter what time, no one can be caught!
Chen Duanlang curled his lips, with disdain in his eyes, but said: "Sister, don't worry, I met my father first, and then went to ask for my mother's blessing. However, my mother's yard is closed, and my father also said that my mother has been resting, so I
I kowtowed at the gate of the courtyard."
Chunge had known about the third wife's grounding for a long time, but she was still a little confused when she heard Chen Duanlang say this.
Given the way the Third Wife is like, if she doesn't like someone, she will definitely not hide away from them without any hope. Instead, she will attack them head on, insisting on torturing the other person and ridiculing them before she gives up.
Aunt Mao gave birth to another son. Regardless of whether the third wife had given birth to medicine or not, she still felt uncomfortable. Last time, she was still holding Duanlang to death. Why didn't she receive any news about Duanlang's past this time? She took the opportunity to cause trouble again.
return.
It can’t really be changed...
This possibility is really slim, but it existed in Chunge's mind for a moment and was immediately destroyed.
Although Chen Duanlang passed the Enke exam, he still couldn't delay his homework. After talking for a while, he got up and left.
Before giving Chun Ge enough time to figure out the joints, the second lady came to Meixiangyuan with a smile on her face.
The white ground is covered with a double-breasted jacket with large peony flowers, and a white brocade ruffled skirt. The hair is covered with black hair, pinned up with only a wooden hairpin, and one or two strands are left in the ears. It looks like it has a light and elegant smell, which is better than
The average widowed person is a little more secular.
Every time I look at this second lady, a different style appears.
Last time it was arrogance, this time it was elegance. Compared with the brightly colored gilded clothes that I always have to wear to suit my status now, it really looks much more unique.
Chun Ge secretly laughed a few times, and warmly invited the second lady to sit down. Knowing that the second lady liked drinking tea, she specially asked someone to serve the Xinyu tea that Li Jianan had just brought back.
As soon as the second lady opened the tea cup, she saw the clear tea soup, and the tea leaves were scattered in the tea as delicately and interestingly as raindrops. With the high-quality colorful glass tea bowl, her heart sank slightly.
When he looked up again, he had a bright smile.
"I have long heard that the Duke of Guo is very kind to the third younger brother and sister. I didn't expect that this new rain tea would also be sent to the third younger brother and sister." The tone was very sincere, as if it was envy without jealousy, but Chun Ge always sounded like it.
Pinch a few separately.
Is it my own misunderstanding? When I first met the Second Madam, I felt that after she targeted me, I would have random thoughts no matter what the other party said.
Unable to figure out the second lady's intention, Chun Ge could only smile and say: "It's just a taste for me. I am also an arty person. If you drink this tea for me, it will be like eating peonies. Can the second sister-in-law tell the difference?"
.”
It was originally Qian's words, but when the second lady heard it, she actually put down the tea bowl and told Chun Ge about the origin of Xinyu Tea in a serious manner.
"This tea can only be found on the cliffs of Daqingshan Mountain in Jibei. It requires tea-picking girls who have been trained since childhood to crawl over and pick it bit by bit. Each time they pick it, they need to be washed with the dew on the bamboo leaves before picking it home.
After that, it has to be soaked in the first rain of the summer solstice every year before being fried. The output is rare and the preparation is complicated. Therefore, the tribute can only be sent to the palace, which is only two kilograms per year. There are thousands of taels of gold and one tael of new rain.
The saying goes."
After the second lady said so much, she raised her head and stared at Chun Ge.
Jade and the others listened impatiently, always feeling that the second lady was showing off.
However, Chunge's face was soft and she said in surprise: "It turns out to be so valuable. Now that I am too heavy, I can't drink tea. The Duke of Guo only told me to put it away and drink it later. I didn't expect it to be a waste."
He asked Jade to wrap up the remaining three ounces of tea leaves.
"If Second Sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, bring it back. No matter how good the tea is, it's a waste for me. It's better that Second Sister-in-law takes it back and tastes it."
With a smile as bright as sunshine on his face, no matter who sees those crescent-moon-like eyes, they feel that they are full of sincerity.
The smile on the second lady's lips gradually condensed, and when she lowered her head, she saw the dark eyes clearly reflected in the tea.
I can't hold my breath...
This sister Chen Chunfang is really different.
The second lady smiled coldly in her heart, and suddenly raised her head and ordered the maid beside her: "Girl, I forgot, and you must have forgotten too, why don't you quickly take out the wishful knot I embroidered."
The little maid hurriedly held up several exquisitely handmade red wishful knots.
Wishful knots are a favorite gift among aristocratic families.
When someone is pregnant, the sisters-in-law will prepare these wish-fulfilling knots, which are meant to send blessings and good fortune.
