Chapter 12 The male protagonist is a cousin
Although Cheng Yuhua herself took the initiative to stuff women to her husband, she knew very well that it was different for her to stuff women to her husband and her mother-in-law to stuff women to her husband.
She gave her dowry maid a face. She could hold whether the maid was favored or not. If she was unhappy, it would be fine if she offered it to sell it.
But if it is a maid and concubine given by her mother-in-law Yuan, she has to worry about it. After all, it is a gift from her elders, and often she has to care about the face of Yuan.
If Yuhua was worried, he was still calm on his face: "It's not that I can't have a child. Even if I have a daughter, it's good to have a child first and then bear fruit."
After hearing what she said, the lady sneered and turned to chat with the others.
Just as Cheng Yuhua was wondering why this lady was targeting her, the lady Li, who was said to be friends with her husband, whispered to her: "Don't care. She gave birth to a daughter in the first child, and then her mother-in-law gave faces to several maids and gave birth to the eldest son. She is so upset now."
Cheng Yuhua nodded slightly, but she felt that the wife was too bad in her heart, and she actually let several concubines from maids take the lead. In her opinion, the possibility of these concubines having children should be eliminated at the first time. No matter how many concubines are favored, it is impossible for them to threaten the status of their wife.
It is actually very painful to attend a palace banquet. Because it is cold, the dishes are so cold that they are so cold that they are so cold that they are so cold that they are very disgusted when they look white and they can only eat a few bites of cold dishes. And you must pay attention to etiquette every move, so as not to make mistakes in such occasions and be ridiculed. If you alarm the emperor, it will be a serious crime for the imperial court to lose his manners.
As the daughter of the Shangshu, Cheng Yuhua was used to such occasions and dealt with them properly. She was pregnant and did not dare to be hungry. She had a meal at the mansion before leaving, and went out after eating. Now she just scooped a bowl of hot soup and put it in front of her to make a decision, mainly to socialize with the wives around her.
After the palace banquet, Gu Wenjing came to find Cheng Yuhua. He glanced at her face and whispered to the bottom of his concern: "Does it feel okay?"
If she had not had to attend the palace banquet as his wife, he would not have been willing to let Cheng Yuhua, who had not yet settled down, go out.
Cheng Yuhua pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm fine."
Then the two met with the Marquis of Ningyuan and Yuan, and the family went out of the palace together to take a carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion.
The banquet in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion is much simpler, but there are also many people in the Marquis' Mansion. If Ningyuan Marquis can have a concubine son and three concubine daughters, you can imagine that the concubines in his backyard are absolutely indispensable.
Cheng Yuhua didn't think anything was there before. Now that the aunts are gathering together, she realized that her father-in-law's backyard is not simple. However, her mother-in-law Yuan is not a good-for-nothing lamp. The aunts are all very honest in front of her, even the four aunts with children.
She glanced at the aunts, and then subconsciously glanced at Yuan Susu not far away. She also had an aunt here, and she was also an aunt with an extraordinary identity.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Yuan Susu always thought that she had been at peace for a while and would wait for her cousin's pity and comfort. But she never expected that her cousin would really treat her as nothing for half a year.
She didn't want to stay peacefully in the west courtyard. Now her identity is no longer the cousin of the Hou Mansion, but the concubine of the prince of the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion has great rules and no longer the permission of the serious master, she could not walk around at will, let alone take the initiative to attack.
As for paying respects to Yuan, as a concubine, she is not a serious daughter-in-law at all. She is not qualified to pay respects to her mother-in-law on weekdays. The person she really wants to pay respects was Cheng Yuhua, the wife. However, Cheng Yuhua was not happy to give up on her and gave up on her greetings. She didn't even have the last chance to see Gu Wenjing.
Now at the New Year’s Eve, this is the first time Yuan Susu has seen her cousin Gu Wenjing up close.
However, although the distance was close, Gu Wenjing didn't give her any light, and he completely regarded her as a person without her.
At the banquet, except for the few words from Ningyuan Hou and Yuan who were concerned about Gu Wenjing and Cheng Yuhua from time to time, the others were quiet and did not dare to talk too much, and were a little restrained.
Apart from Ningyuan Hou and Yuan, Gu Wenjing is probably the only one who is truly at ease.
His career is now in a good way. His father Ning Yuanhou and his father-in-law Cheng Shangshu both have real power, have strong backstage, and have excellent skills in doing things. As soon as he joined the Ministry of Revenue as a doctor, he introduced a new accounting method after integrating into the Ministry of Revenue, which was a great contribution to his advancement.
Ning Yuanhou slowly drank tea and mentioned to Gu Wenjing the new accounting method he introduced: "Your income and expenditure after the improvement of your accounting method is too clear. Although it has reduced the workload of the Ministry of Revenue and made great contributions in front of the saint, it has also offended people. Be careful yourself."
Gu Wenjing naturally understood what Ning Yuanhou meant, it was simply because he kept the accounts too clearly. Some people who were tempted by troubled waters were not good for them to fill their pockets in the account book, so they would naturally hold a grudge against him, the initiator.
But how could he be afraid of these villains?
Before withdrawing from the new accounting law, Gu Wenjing had accused her father and father-in-law in advance. They all felt that this was a credit, and there was no need to avoid villains giving up the credit for promotion.
But now Ning Yuanhou mentioned this matter again, just to remind him to pay attention to the villain's trouble.
Gu Wenjing's expression remained unchanged and said calmly: "Don't worry, father, your son will be cautious." He would be so successful in his previous life, not only because he had the so-called male protagonist's halo and a superior family background, but more because he was willing to work hard and was cautious.
Compared with the various calculations in the shopping malls in later generations, ancient people can be said to be "simple" to some extent. Of course, this "simple" is not the simple one, but the ancient people did not have such extensive knowledge and many methods of calculating people could not imagine, but the sinister hearts of people have been the same from ancient times to the present.
Ning Yuanhou chatted with Gu Wenjing for a while and said something about the topics in the officialdom without any taboos before he spoke to someone.
Gu Wenjing and Cheng Yuhua returned to Rongjinyuan together, and Yuan Susu followed the two of them. When she passed by the garden, she finally couldn't help but say, "Cousin..." She wanted to speak but stopped, as if she had an indescribable difficulty.
Unfortunately, Gu Wenjing didn't look back at her behavior, which made her waste her expression.
Yuan Susu quickly stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Gu Wenjing's sleeve: "Cousin, are you really unwilling to forgive Susu?"
Long before, Huayuanzi left with the others, and now there are only three of them and the servants serving him on this road. So Yuan Susu didn't care about anything, and looked at Gu Wenjing with tears and grievance, excluding Cheng Yuhua, the real wife.
