Chapter 60 A Distinguished Guest Arrives

I thought to myself that I was stupid. How could I forget that? I was still in a hurry to say this at this time. Isn't this deliberately making the second sister-in-law angry?

So, I quietly accompanied her to drink a small cup of tea and stopped talking.

After a while, it was probably that Erlang's wife herself reacted.

This third sister-in-law is still helpful in the family.

It is not a good thing for my family to get angry and stop communicating with each other, so I softened my tone and said.

"The children are useless, and I made the third sister-in-law laugh."

Hearing her opening and giving a way out, Sanlang's wife immediately comforted her.

"It's okay, it's okay. The second sister-in-law is also angry about the children's affairs, but being angry is angry, and you still have to take care of your own body, otherwise it will be more troublesome, right?"

Erlang's wife sighed and pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Then she cried and complained.

"Your second brother was not a good person to begin with, and now his two children are following his father's example. You can tell me how much effort we put in to send the children to the Zhen family's private school to learn skills."

"Who knew that the two of them not only didn't study hard, but also caused trouble all day long. Now the teacher is angry, and he returned the tuition I just paid the day before yesterday. He also threatened not to accept the two of them into the school again."

"Tell me, if you are not good at literature or martial arts, do you think you will go the old way of doing business in the future? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

After all, they are children from the Duke's Mansion. Even if they don't have a high status, they always have powerful relatives.

Letting them go into business, isn't this asking for trouble?

Besides, it is so difficult to even learn to read now. If they can only walk cats and dogs, they may not be good at doing business.

Thinking of this, Erlang's wife was even more melancholy and heartbroken, and she had no idea what to do with her two sons.

After hearing these words, Sanlang's wife also sighed.

How could she not know the difficulties of the second sister-in-law? She herself had a son and a daughter, so of course she understood the pros and cons.

For a family like them who lived in the Duke's Mansion, it seemed that there were still some benefits.

But if the grandfather, the third old master, died, then the whole family would also be "invited" out.

If they didn't plan some ways out early, I'm afraid life would be even more difficult.

That private school, not to mention the high cost, it was the two of them and the third old lady who went to Yunjinyuan to beg Mrs. Wei to reluctantly send the children of the third room in.

Now the children are useless and have been sent back.

They also lost face in front of the people in Yunjinyuan, how could Erlang's wife, who has always been pretentious, not be angry?

"Second sister-in-law, don't think too much. The children are still young, so it's not necessary to make up your mind now. If the literary path doesn't work, why not talk to Sixth Brother's wife and ask her to persuade Sixth Brother to send the children to the military camp for some experience. They don't really have to go to the battlefield. In the future, they can be arranged in the imperial guards of Sui'an City, or in the capital city. Isn't it a stable life?"

Sanlang's wife had a good idea, but it was a pity that it was rejected by Erlang's wife.

Erlang's wife glanced at Sanlang's wife, and then said coldly.

"Have you forgotten what happened on the day when you received the imperial edict? That Du family is not an easy person to get along with. Look at how she talks. Isn't it because her family is rich and her husband is powerful? She is as arrogant as a pheasant. She doesn't even look at what kind of person she is. Does she really think she has become a phoenix by flying up the tree? Bah!"

The scolding of Erlang's wife made Sanlang's wife speechless.

Although her family is an official, it is a small official position, and their life is really not as good as that of the wealthy merchants like the Du family who are famous in Sui'an City.

They live a bitter life with the reputation of being an official, but Du Jingyi was really raised in pampering. This can be seen from Du Jingyi's daily food, clothing and expenses.

They are all women getting married. How can they not envy Du Jingyi's red dowry?

But what if they envy? What if they are jealous?

It's just that their fate is not as good as others, what else can they do?

Therefore, compared to the hatred of Erlang's wife, Sanlang's wife did not have much malice towards Du Jingyi.

She just wanted to get some benefits from her.

The two sisters-in-law were talking when they heard someone coming outside.

"Is the second sister-in-law in the room?"

The voice was light and had a bit of the coquettishness of a young woman.

Erlang's wife and Sanlang's wife looked at each other and couldn't help but look outside, with some joy on their faces.

Sanlang's wife also said.

"I know it's Liu Niang who is back when I heard this voice."

Sure enough, the person outside the door lifted the curtain and walked in. The person who came was indeed Shang Liu Niang.

She was the youngest daughter of the third room, with a single name "Fei".

As her name suggests, she was indeed born well.

But now she is twenty-four years old and has been married for six or seven years.

Her husband is the second son of the Jia family, a famous rice merchant in Sui'an City, Jia Weiyu.

In order to marry her, the Jia family also sent a lot of dowry, so Shang Liuniang was the most favored in the third room.

Not for anything else, just because she could always find a way to get some money from her husband's family to support her family.

Shang Liuniang saw her two sisters-in-law as soon as she entered the door.

So she smiled and said.

"Oh, Third Sister-in-law is here too. I'll pay my respects to both of you."

Shang Liuniang is lively and generous.

So when Erlang's wife and Sanlang's wife saw her coming, they threw their worries away.

They also said with a smile on their faces.

"It's so hot, why are you here?"

Shang Liuniang, although she's over 10 years old, has a very well-maintained face, and looks no different from a girl still in the boudoir.

And the petal jade butterfly hairpin made of red agate on her bun is also particularly dazzling.

It was a birthday gift from her husband Jia Weiyou.

"This autumn heat looks fierce, but it's not that hot. Besides, I walked along the corridor all the way here, and I didn't get much sun exposure."

Seeing her innocent smile, Erlang's wife was envious.

Everyone has a good life, but she married into this Duke's Mansion to suffer.

Thinking of this, the good mood that had just risen disappeared again.

Seeing her face darken, Shang Liuniang asked in a somewhat strange way.

"What's wrong with the second sister-in-law? My second brother is causing trouble again?"

When Shang Liuniang was still at home, she knew what kind of person her second brother was.

Therefore, most of the time, the second sister-in-law was either angry with him or cleaning up his mess.

Therefore, she asked this question as soon as she came.
