Chapter 718: The Shu Family
On the fifteenth day, the Shu family also arrived at Gu's house, especially Shu's pregnancy, and her whole body became much more round. Mrs. Shu felt relieved to see her daughter like this.
My daughter has been married for three years and is finally pregnant now, which is also a problem she has always been worried about.
I stayed at Mrs. Gu during the day and returned to my daughter's yard in the afternoon. The mother and daughter were able to speak quietly together after they cleared their left and right.
"I feel relieved when you live a good life." Mrs. Shu was really happy for her daughter.
Speaking of this now, which one is more valuable than Gu's mansion?
The son-in-law did not take a concubine, and the daughter agreed to not being pregnant for three years. Everyone in the Shu family was happy about this matter and felt that the more they looked at the son-in-law, the more satisfied they were.
Shu Mi's face turned red, "It's rare for my mother to come here once. Stay for a few more days. I can't take care of the child. It's best to wait until the child is born before leaving."
Shu smiled and said, "Your grandmother knew you were pregnant and was worried that I could come here. Our family also has a house in Jinling. Today, I will be able to clean up and move in a few days. From now on, I will stay here and come at any time if I have anything to do."
Shu Mi was happy, and couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't my mother say earlier? I'll let someone clean up. But that's fine. My mother can spend more time with me at home."
She was both happy and unhappy. Shu could see that her daughter was really happy, and she was also happy. However, she heard about some things outside, so she still had to ask her daughter, "What's going on with the Nanyang County Lord? Just divorced?"
"It's all in the past, so don't ask my mother, but my aunt has returned to Jiangnan. Didn't my mother go to the Confucius Mansion?" Shu Mi looked curious.
Mrs. Shu smiled faintly, "After the Kong family moved back, the Gu family married the county lord again. You also married into the Gu family. When you go to the Confucius family, you will always make the other side think about it, so the two families cut off contact."
Who would have thought that the Confucius Mansion would have a day to turn around? When Mrs. Shu talked about this, everyone in the Shu family felt that they had no face and did not enter the Confucius family again.
Shu Mi has received letters from her family over the years and has reported good news but not bad news. She has never heard of her family talking about this in the letter, "Mother, you are so confused. No matter what the Gu family and the Kong family are like, the Kong family and the Shu family are not ordinary relationships, you..."
To put it nicely, I am afraid that the Kong family will feel uncomfortable when I see them, but I still feel that the Kong family has fallen into power. Shu Mi never knew that there was such a thing.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I look at Yuan Niang, but I don't show any discomfort when I see me today. If you respect her in the mansion, she will not make things difficult for you. Besides, the eldest and second rooms will be separated sooner or later. In the future, you will be the head of the eldest room and she will give you some face." Mrs. Shu hurriedly enlightened her daughter.
Shu Mi shook her head, "Mother, I'm not worried about this. I didn't expect you to do this."
She was still disappointed with her family's actions.
Shu Mi has always been kind. She has lived with Gu Tingzhi over the years and has never told her family. She only understands that she is not good enough to let her husband see her in her eyes. Now that she is in a state of peace, good days have begun, but she didn't expect that her parents' family will still stand up to the top and down without her knowing it.
"Now the person who supports Gu's family is still the second uncle. He is the chief minister and highly valued by the emperor. His mother also knows that if the big house and the second house are separated, then the big house will definitely not be as powerful as the second house. Besides, the grandmother is still in the house, how can the two houses be separated?" This is because the mother said that Shu Mi analyzed it for her, and then said, "The Gu family's population is simple and the husband is raised by the second uncle, so it is no different from his father. How can it be alienated? The family must live a harmonious life."
Mrs. Shu is a mother, but she was taught by her daughter, and she couldn't stand it and her face turned red. "How can I not understand this? But you also know that it is not me who is in charge of our family. I will do whatever your grandmother and father ask me to do. OK, you don't have to worry about this, and I will persuade them after I go back."
"If my father and the others really understand, the second uncle and the others will go back to Jiangnan, and my father should go to the Confucius Mansion to visit him. My father didn't go?" Shu Mi couldn't see the words inside, "Is there something my mother has to hide from me?"
I think my relationship with the Confucius Mansion is very irresistible, right?
As soon as I think of this, Shu Mi's head hurts a little.
Mrs. Shu smiled a little stiffly, "You are too old to hide it from you."
Finally, the grudges between the two families were revealed. After the Confucius Mansion moved back to Jiangnan, many aristocratic families watched coldly and did not come to greet the house. They delayed until the New Year. During the New Year, the Kong family did not give New Year gifts to each family, so the various families did not return the gifts, and then they all stopped contacting each other.
In the past three years, although the Kong family has been a big family in Jiangnan, it has long been worse than before.
Who would have thought that three years later, Xie Yuanniang came back, the county lord was separated, and she became the wife of the chief minister again. This incident also made the hearts of all families in Jiangnan, because after all, she was afraid of revenge by the Confucius Mansion.
This time, taking advantage of the fact that her daughter was pregnant, Mrs. Shu also intended to find an opportunity to start from Xie Yuanniang and then ease her relationship with the Confucius Mansion.
After telling the whole story, Shu Mi was stunned and felt unspeakable loss in her heart, "So that's it."
My mother saw her just by the way, and it was true that she wanted to find Xie Yuanniang to be an intermediary to plead with her.
"Sister Mi, it's really hard for my mother to talk about this. No one expected this to be the case. I've thought about it, just look at the attitude of the Kong family. If the Kong family doesn't mean to blame us, then forget it. Our family doesn't have to curry favor with anyone to live." Mrs. Shu didn't care about the explanations of her mother-in-law and husband, she also felt that this was unauthorized.
Now that the Kong family has the support of Xie Yuanniang, they immediately want to move forward again. There is no such good thing in the world. They hide far away when they need to send carbon from the snow. Now they are icing on the cake, but they want to share a good soup. This is what Mrs. Shu herself feels like she can't speak.
Shumi felt a little more comfortable when she heard her mother say this. There were confused people, at least her mother was not confused. "Mother, I'll do this. My aunt is kind-hearted. I'll find an opportunity to ask her."
No matter what, when things happened, I couldn't keep escaping. Now that I know, she can't be considered unaware.
Mrs. Shu looked at her daughter's slightly raised belly, "You are pregnant and you will bother you, it's my mother's fault."
"Mother, it's okay, we're a family." Shu Mi smiled and patted her hands, "If you have a lantern to watch at night, let's go to the street to see it. There are not many opportunities like this, I'll go with my mother."
