Wife is fierce 69 pays respects to master
The four sisters are already over ten years old, and can be considered half adults. In two or three years, they will all have to consider marriage, no wonder the fifth sister is worried.
The fourth daughter treated this younger sister quite well, her aunt always followed in her mother's footsteps, and the two of them were also cautious and careful, afraid of offending their mother and themselves. During holidays, they never forgot to give clothes, shoes, and socks to the three of them, thinking about the good times, her heart softened a little.
"Hold my hand and don't worry! Mother won't wrong you, and if all else fails, your uncle and aunt can also speak up for you. The daughters of the Yang family are all meant to be proper wives, so it won't be too bad. Don't worry!"
The fifth girl nodded with her head down, tears swirling in her eyes, desperately holding back from falling, and sobbed: "I know that sister has always been close to me, always reminding me, it's just that I'm not used to it, there's always a bit... Today I saw the guest and finally understood the difference, from now on I will work hard to learn the rules, and won't cause trouble for sister again!"
"What's the point of saying these polite words!" Fourth Sister patted her hand, and actually felt a bit closer to this younger sister, and was no longer as impatient as before.
The second daughter also had a lot of emotions in her heart, but she felt that it was not good to say much at the banquet, so she just smiled and said, "Look, we are really worried about nothing. After all, she is not one of us with the surname Yang. She has her own elders to arrange things for her, so we don't need to worry! Sisters, let's go find those young ladies to play with. Let's have a good time today!"
The three girls clapped their hands and nodded in excitement, "Exactly! It's hard to get a day off, can't waste it!"
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened afterwards. Everyone had a great time until the banquet ended. The noble ladies were also very satisfied and made connections with the people they wanted to meet. Hui Chang Gong Zhu also regained her footing in the Beijing aristocratic circle and reconnected with the imperial family members, whose relationships with each other were still good.
As the guests were about to leave, Yang Lan presented her own gift, a specialty product from her family's store. To highlight its effect, she specially asked Bi Lian, this lovely and lively little girl, to explain it one by one and distribute it to everyone. Bi Lian's big eyes, pink cheeks, clear and pleasant voice, and delicate appearance made the guests praise her first.
After sending off the guests, Yang Lan was also exhausted. Today, she was pulled by Ming Yu and Zhou Ying to stroll around everywhere. She almost met all the noble ladies in Beijing, one by one. She still had to remember which relatives of those families were who, which camp they recently stood on, and pay attention; which noble lady's fiancé was from which family, whether it was a hundred-year-old prestigious family. It was necessary to make proper contact, in short, it was a complex account, even though she was clever, she was also dizzy and confused by the constant reminders.
He Hui Chang Gongzhu saw that the children were all tired and waved her hand saying: "You are also tired, go back and rest early!"
"Mother, the sons have taken their leave." Yang Huan led his younger brother Yang Mai back to the front yard to rest.
Yang Lan couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what should we do with Sister-in-law who is still locked in the guest room?"
He Hui Chang Gong Zhu merely sneered and curled up the corner of her lips, "You go back first! Wait for your father to come back and I'll mention it to him, then we can deal with this. For these few days, you shouldn't get too close to her."
"Alright, I'll go to Puzi Temple to learn painting tomorrow and come back in the afternoon." Yang Lan informed her mother.
"Just go!" Hui nodded and replied.
Yang Lan dragged her tired body back to her own courtyard, Biyun helped her wash up and comb her hair, took off the heavy hairpins and changed into a soft and light long-sleeved velvet jacket, lay down on the soft couch and closed her eyes for a moment.
The next day, she heard that her cousin was scolded by the mother-in-law sent by her father and was asked to reflect on herself in the house. This surprised her a bit, and she blurted out unintentionally, "Why is Dad being so strict this time? He used to be very tolerant of her!"
Lin's aunt smiled and explained to her, "In the past, it was just a disturbance at home, no big deal if we didn't go out. But this time, we really lost face outside, and also implicated Yang's daughter. The master of the house must set an example, after all, this is not just a matter for one family. It involves the reputation of several young ladies from different families, how can we not give an explanation? Why should an outsider who is only related to us by marriage get away with it and bully our Yang family's daughter? Now they've even implicated my Yang family's daughter's reputation, how can the third and fourth branches be willing to accept this? In the past, they just held back their anger and didn't speak out. But this time, although it seems like a small matter, it will still have some impact if we look deeper."
Yang Lan nodded thoughtfully, at first she didn't think it was a big deal, but now that she thinks about it again, her cousin's behavior might make people think that the Yang family is just a family that curries favor with those in power. Is the Yang family's current status not all thanks to sucking up to those in power? Otherwise, why would even relatives who are temporarily living here be so arrogant? Who knows if they're not learning from each other?
"It seems that this time, my cousin is in a bit of trouble!" Yang Lan pouted and shook her head helplessly, but wouldn't do anything else.
She's not the Goddess of Mercy, those who can be reminded have been reminded, but my cousin is obstinately ignorant, from now on she can only keep a distance, such people are not worth paying attention to, not even as good as Third Sister!
"Master, let me tell you, you really don't have to pity her. A person who is pitied must also have a hateful side! Even Third Miss, who is so willful and spoiled, knows how to maintain the family's reputation. Although she is not a member of the Yang family, she is still taking advantage of the Yang family's prestige. Her actions are not considerate of the Yang family at all, it's really chilling!"
Yang Lan actually understood this principle, her cousin had never put the Yang family in her heart, and would not be grateful, but instead felt it was a matter of course, because I am my mother's daughter, with half of the Yang family's bloodline, you should take care of me.
But she didn't know that there were people closer to her than Yang's family who weren't treated like this either!
After some thought, I feel that everyone has their own path to follow, she doesn't have the ability to control everything, let the adults worry about it!
Then he raised a smile, "Don't worry, Auntie! From now on, I won't say another word. I've said all that can be said and done all that can be done. If she doesn't listen, it's her choice, not my responsibility. As relatives under the same roof, I've fulfilled my obligations, and from now on, let's just treat each other as relatives!"
Lin's aunt finally let out a sigh of relief, "That's exactly what I mean, each person has their own destiny, and no one can replace anyone else!"
As long as Miss doesn't get soft-hearted again, things will be much easier to handle. After all, it's just a girl and just a dowry. No need to get too close!
"By the way, Miss, the carriage has some green vegetables from the farm, as well as a few fragrant pears and oranges. Is there anything else you'd like to instruct?" Lin Mama reported.
"Well, that's all for now! I don't know what Master Ming Hui likes either. I thought vegetarian dishes are always suitable for monks, and adding some fruit to send over is also a kind intention from us. Master has been a monk for many years and may not care about my things, but I just want to do my duty as a disciple."
