Chapter 621 Sister-in-Law and Sister-in-Law
Lu Songli and Qin Sheng laughed and joked for a while, then went out to have lunch together.
In the hall, the eldest sister-in-law Wu Qingyu was directing the servants to set the table.
Wu Qingyu was a very gentle person.
Qin Heng was not concerned about the matter of remarrying, which had always been handled by Qin's mother.
Qin Heng was too busy. It can be said that almost all the military forces in Pingzhou, except for Qin Sheng's Jintai Army, were under his command.
In addition, he believed that he already had a son and a daughter, and he had no obsession with having children. Besides, the new generation of children in their Qin family added up to more than ten, and the Qin family was not short of children.
Therefore, he was not active in the matter of remarrying.
But he was not concerned, but Qin's mother was. She had a son so old, four or five years, and there was no one around who understood her. So as soon as the Qin family showed filial piety, she started to make arrangements.
Qin Heng did not object to this.
For someone of Qin Heng's status, marriage is no longer a simple marriage, and there are many factors to consider.
The current situation of the Qin family is a bit unusual. Although Qin Heng is the eldest son, Lu Songli, as the youngest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, is the master of Pingzhou.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If the woman he married is too strong and bears the title of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, disputes are inevitable.
In order to avoid chaos in the Qin family, Qin Heng and his mother said that the second wife should not marry a strong person.
In the end, after Qin's mother and Qin Heng discussed, they decided on Wu Qingyu.
Wu Qingyu is the daughter of Wu Chi, the governor of Xuantu County. Choosing her means deepening the combination with local forces and appeasing local forces.
After all, Pingzhou is the place where the Qin and Lu families started their business, and there must be no chaos at any time.
Before Wu Qingyu got married, Wu Chi also reminded her that after marrying into the Qin family, she only needed to manage the backyard.
Wu Chi saw clearly that his daughter did not need to have her own job outside like the other sisters-in-law of the Qin family, because no matter how capable a girl was, could she be better than the governor?
Wu Qingyu listened to the advice very well, and she was indeed good at managing the affairs of the inner house.
"Sister-in-law--"
"Sixth brother and sister-in-law, are you here? Sit down quickly, the meal will be served soon."
"Okay."
As soon as Lu Songli and Qin Sheng sat down, the children of the Qin family came to the hall.
Seeing that there was an empty seat on the right side of Lu Songli, they all rushed to this seat, and finally the youngest Qin Rong took the lead. The other children who rushed quickly were blocked by their brothers and sisters.
"Sixth aunt--" The little girl leaned on the chair and smiled with her eyes narrowed.
Just as Lu Songli was about to get up and carry her to the chair, Wu Qingyu beside her had already started.
"Thank you, auntie." The little girl raised her head and thanked softly.
Not long after the third sister-in-law Nie Yunniang gave birth to a little girl, the Qin family was confiscated and imprisoned. This little girl was Qin Rong.
Qin Rong, the little girl, probably often heard her mother mention that the sixth aunt was the lifesaver of them, so she was very attached to Lu Songli.
In fact, not only Qin Rong, but other children in the family also like Lu Songli, the sixth aunt.
In just a moment, all the children surrounded Lu Songli. Qin Jia, Qin Han, Qin Che, Qin Bin and other older children stood on the periphery to protect their younger brothers and sisters.
If you look into the reason, it is probably because children like heroes and strong people.
As the governor of Pingzhou, Lu Songli is very loved by the people of Pingzhou. Under the guidance of words and deeds, their children also admire Lu Songli, the governor.
The children of the Qin family admired their sixth aunt very much in the school. It was even better when Lu Songli gave them toys from time to time.
In fact, the toys in the eyes of the children were nothing else but the products of Lu Desheng's travels. Every time he came back from a stroll outside, he would throw a basket of specialties to his daughter. Lu Songli had no choice but to bring these toys home to the children.
Qin Yu held a small face, watching the sixth aunt teasing the little sister Rongrong, and sighed for a long time, "Sixth aunt, why are you so fickle."
Lu Songli raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
Before Lu Songli could speak, Qin Sheng, the sixth uncle, could not help but ask, "Why is your sixth aunt so unfaithful?"
"When I was little, the sixth aunt also liked to tease me and often praised me for being cute. Now the sixth aunt only has eyes for Rongrong, who is four or five years old. She is so fond of the new and dislikes the old. If she is not unfaithful, what is she?"
"You are wrong." Lu Songli said coldly, "The sixth aunt is very loyal and only likes children who are four or five years old."
As she said that, she kissed little Rongrong on the cheek, and then looked at Qin Yu, "Little Yuyu, think about it, right?"
Qin Yu's eyes widened, and he looked like he was hit hard.
At this time, the rest of the Qin family had arrived.
Qin Zhao, the unscrupulous father, laughed at his son's joke, "Your sixth aunt is right, even dogs hate children who are seven or eight years old."
"Dad!" Qin Yu shouted.
Qin Zhao: "Your father is right. Children are the cutest when they are two to five years old."
"Hmph, I won't pay attention to you."
Compared to the harmony of the Qin family, the atmosphere of the Lu family is a bit dull.
When the daughter-in-law Liu Sulan returned home three days ago, Tian Dasao excused herself from being unwell and did not go to the upper room for dinner.
When she was looking for Lu Mingzhi, Tian was quite interested, but the women she liked were all of low rank.
Jiang threw all the people she picked aside. Her son Lu Mingzhi was the younger brother of the governor of Pingzhou, and his own ability was not bad. With such an identity, what kind of woman could he not marry in Pingzhou?
With Mrs. Tian like this, Mrs. Jiang privately swore to Lu Desheng that she would find a best daughter-in-law this time, and the most important thing was to be open-minded! The two of them still want to enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law. It would be too troublesome to have another sister-in-law like Mrs. Tian.
Later, the Jiang family fell in love with Liu Sulan. Liu Sulan was the second daughter of Liu Guanlin's family. She had a lively temperament and was good at taking care of her husband.
Lu Songli didn't interfere in either marriage. But whether it was her eldest uncle or her younger brother who got married, Lu Songli gave them big gifts.
At this moment, after confirming that the eldest daughter-in-law was not coming, Mrs. Jiang suppressed her anger and said to the younger daughter-in-law, "Your eldest sister-in-law is not feeling well, so she won't come to the upper room. Let's just start dinner."
"Okay." Liu Sulan nodded obediently.
The men of the Lu family didn't dare to breathe.
At this time, in Lu Zhiyuan's yard, Mrs. Tian was comforting her daughter.
That's right, Mrs. Tian's natal family has all moved to Pingzhou.
At the end of the Battle of the East China Sea, Lu Songli took the initiative and used the benefits obtained by the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force in the East China Sea and the move of replacing people in the Dali court to save many people.
It was at that time that Tian Wei and his family left their hometown and came to Pingzhou. At that time, their family's situation was already very bad.
Those who took advantage of that opportunity to leave were Qin's mother's natal family, the Gu family, and Qin Heng's first wife, Ding's natal family. Qin Heng arranged for them to be picked up by someone.
The person arranged by Qin Heng clearly told them that if they didn't leave this time, they might not have the chance to leave in the future. If they are threatened by the imperial court in the future, the Qin family will not give in. Don't blame the Qin family for being cold-blooded and ruthless.
In the past two years, life for Gu and Ding's family has actually been very difficult.
Although their leader repeatedly expressed his loyalty to the emperor and constantly bribed Liang An to speak kind words in front of the emperor and spend money to keep him safe, he only managed to survive for more than a year. But the two of them have also been under surveillance.
The main reason why the court did not immediately threaten the Qin family with their two families was that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu had passed away long ago, as had the Ding family, and Qin Heng's father-in-law and mother-in-law were also gone. These two families and the Qin family Not affectionate.
Of course, the most important reason is that the court tried to ask Qin Heng and Qin Sheng's uncle to secretly contact the two to see their reactions. Who knows, they didn't react at all.
However, they themselves knew very well that their relationship with the Qin family was inseparable. Who knows when the Dali court will sacrifice their flags?
Under this premise, Qin Heng sent someone, so the two families decided to leave Chang'an and move to Pingzhou.
Having said that, after Lu Mingzhi decided on his wife, Mrs. Tian often went to Lu Mansion to visit her eldest daughter. Her daughter has been depressed recently, and she is afraid that her daughter will get into trouble. Her old man also supports this.
"You girl, why are you so petty?"
"Mom, in this family, I am the lowest in origin and status."
Mrs. Tian could only advise her to be more open-minded. She is stupid and can't say anything to comfort her.
In fact, Mrs. Tian was very scared inside. She felt that her daughter's life was already very good now. As her natal family, their Tian family also benefited a lot. If you don't hesitate to be blessed, you will be struck by thunder from the sky.
In the upper room, Mrs. Jiang took two bites of rice, asked her son, daughter-in-law and others to eat slowly, and then returned to the house.
Lu Desheng glanced at his eldest son and chased after him.
Lu Zhiyuan had no choice but to put down his bowls and chopsticks and follow him slowly.
"Are you still angry? As a mother-in-law, how can you be manipulated by her?"
Mrs. Jiang sighed, "Why do you think our family married such a short-sighted person?" To put it bluntly, she was angry because she still had hope for this eldest daughter-in-law.
"You just want to get her temper back, so that you don't feel comfortable, and she doesn't feel comfortable either. Just let it go and don't worry about it." Lu Desheng thought to himself, leave him alone, and he will let anyone who makes him feel uncomfortable Even more uncomfortable!
"She wasn't like this before, but her temper has become more and more left-wing."
In fact, the root cause of the eldest daughter-in-law's awkward temperament stems from the incompatibility of morality and the inability to adapt to the changes brought about by the change of status.
"She doesn't like Jinyu's company. She might be more willing to mess with that thing in the pit."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang slapped him twice and said, "This is too much."
Lu Desheng pouted, "I'm just saying this to you. If I say it in front of her, I'm sure she'll faint."
Lu Zhiyuan just came to the outside and happened to hear this paragraph. When he heard the words, he choked twice on his saliva and coughed——
"Lu Zhiyuan, why don't you get out of here?!"
After Lu Zhiyuan came in, Lu Desheng glanced at him with disgust, "Look how angry your wife is making my wife!"
Being scolded by his own father again, Lu Zhiyuan scoffed.
"Does Mr. Tian have a problem with your sister-in-law?"
Lu Zhiyuan said with difficulty, "I don't have any objection to my sister-in-law. I have an objection to my sister-in-law's identity." His wife was just too conceited.
Lu Desheng snorted, "You still need to be strong to strike the iron. If she doesn't live up to her expectations, she blames others for being too good?"
"Our family is like this now. It's impossible for your brother to marry into a poor family just for her, right?"
"She is so good at blaming others. Why not blame her parents and brothers for not working hard enough and giving her a good background?"
Lu Zhiyuan touched his nose: Dad, can your mouth be more poisonous?
Lu Desheng was really annoyed. In this family, the eldest daughter-in-law always wanted to be the first and to step on others, but she didn't have the ability.
What do you say about a person like the eldest daughter-in-law? She can grovel outside but must yell at her at home!
Lü Zhiyuan begged for mercy with a bitter face, "Dad, stop spitting, please be merciful."
Lü Desheng rolled his eyes at him, "You deserve it. The wife you married made my wife angry, so I'll make you angry, hum!"
"I'll talk about her when I get back."
"What's the point of talking about her? If you have nothing to do, take your wife to read more books! Or let her work harder at the Charity Bureau! If it doesn't work out--" Lü Desheng wanted to ask her to put more energy into raising children, but thought about it and let it go.
"Just try harder and have another child." Lü Desheng was very disgusted with the last sentence.
Lü Zhiyuan: ... So this is the only use of his son at present, right?
