Chapter 42 The situation of the Hou Mansion
Xu Xi nodded: "Madam, please tell me."
Mrs. Zhu laughed, and some fine lines appeared on her well-maintained skin. She said angrily: "You still call me madam at this time. You should call me aunt."
"Yes, eldest aunt." Xu Xi smiled again.
Seeing her crisp look, Mrs. Zhu felt even more appreciation and love in her heart.
She said: "Let's talk about your second wife first. Your father's biological mother is Aunt Qin, who passed away a few years ago. In addition to your mother Wei, your father also has two aunts, one with the same surname as Xue and the other with the same surname as you.
Of your generation, in addition to the sixth girl Zhao Ruyu, you also have a twin brother, the second young master Zhao Jing'an..."
Having said this, Zhu glanced at Xu Xi with pity.
The Wei family gave birth to a pair of twins. The boy was fine and weighed three kilograms when he was born. The baby girl was very thin, weighing just over two kilograms [Note: in ancient times, a kilogram was sixteen taels]. Everyone was worried that they would not be able to feed her.
.It was also because of this that Mrs. Wei took Xu Xi to the temple to burn incense, hoping that the child would survive. Unexpectedly, he was transferred halfway.
Taking care of twins is not an easy task. Even though we have a nanny, we still have to worry about it. Especially the two children are underweight and weak, so we need to pay more attention, because if we are not careful, they will die young.
Once she has a son, her status will be more stable, so Mrs. Wei puts more focus on her son, and everyone can understand it. It’s just that she has the same flesh and blood on her body, but her attitude towards her son and daughter is equal on the surface, but secretly she
It was one day at a time, which made everyone criticize her, thinking that she had gone too far.
Mrs. Zhu continued: "You also have a concubine sister, Zhao Rurui, who is one month older than you. Her aunt passed away, so she is now raised by Aunt Xue."
Xu Xi nodded.
The Wei family probably injured her body when giving birth to twins, and she never got pregnant again. Zhao Yuanliang took in several concubines, and some of them were pregnant. In the end, he only supported Zhao Rurui, and he only had one son, Zhao Jing'an. And Zhao Rurui
His mother-in-law is dead, and the two living aunts have nothing to do. Even if the Wei family didn't have any means, they wouldn't believe it even if they killed Xu Xi.
The novel is a sweet novel, not very long. The focus is on the acquaintance, love, acquaintance and friendship between Zhao Ruyu and the second son of Pingnan Hou. There is not much description of other people, and they are all mentioned in one stroke. So why is the powerful Wei family
Xu Xi did not know whether she would allow a concubine to have a child before her.
But Zhao Rurui was able to survive probably because she was a girl.
"The eldest family has five children." Mrs. Zhu added, "Your eldest sister Zhao Ruyu is nineteen years old this year, and your second sister Zhao Ruzhu is seventeen years old. They are both married. The eldest young master is Zhao Jingli, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion. Coincidentally, he and
You and Jing'an have the same birthday, only half an hour earlier than you."
When she said this, she had a look of emotion on her face.
She and the Wei family were both pregnant with Liujia, but before they gave birth, their father-in-law passed away and her mother-in-law fell ill. There was a funeral in the house, medical supplies had to be requested for the old lady, and Zhao Yuanxun wanted to seize the title, and the whole house was in turmoil.
Mrs. Wei is fine, she just needs to go to the funeral to cry, and go to the old lady's bedside to say hello from time to time. As the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhu is also the new Mrs. Hou, and Mrs. Wei's belly is bigger than hers.
How could she only care about herself when her third younger brother and sister were weak and incompetent? She could only take care of everything with her big belly.
As a result, on the day Wei gave birth, she also gave birth to her son Zhao Jingli prematurely. Fortunately, with the blessing of the Duke, her mother and her son were safe. Just waiting for her to go to the ground in a few days, the house was already in a mess. It was the old lady who supported the sick body.
, who was in charge of commanding her three younger siblings. She had to worry about the affairs of the house during her confinement period.
Thinking of this past incident, she still feels frightened.
"I have given birth to four children in total. In addition to your eldest cousin, second cousin, eldest cousin, and third young master Zhao Jingtai, he is eleven this year. He is very naughty and mischievous all day long. If he does something wrong, you can
Use your identity as a sister to teach him a lesson, no need to be polite."
It can be seen that Mrs. Zhu is a good mother. When she talks about her children, she looks loving.
"In addition, we have two children in this room. One is your third cousin Zhao Ruxin, who is half a year older than you; the other is the fourth young master Zhao Jingping, who is ten years old this year."
Zhu took a sip of tea and continued to introduce: "Your third uncle is also a concubine, and his biological mother, Aunt Zheng, is still alive. Your third aunt's surname is Su, and she has a son and a daughter. The son is eight years old, named Zhao Jingning; the daughter is six years old,
My name is Zhao Rushan."
"In addition, you also have an eldest aunt, who was born to the old lady and married a new Jinshi at that time. Now your eldest uncle is working as a fourth-grade prefect in another place, and your eldest aunt followed him to take office and has not been back for several years; Xiao
My aunt is a commoner, married to a nobleman, and lives in the west of the capital. You can see her at home during the holidays."
Seeing that Zhu seemed to have finished speaking, Xu Xi stood up, gave a blessing, and said, "Thank you, auntie, for your advice. I have remembered it all."
"Sit down, sit down quickly. There are so many etiquettes in a family." Mrs. Zhu quickly waved to her to sit down.
