Chapter 54, Interception

  The fact that Hongmei was lent to Zhu Jiaoyu somehow spread to Daohua’s ears.

  In response to this, Ina Hua did not respond, what to do and what to do.

  Wang Man'er glanced at Daohua in surprise: "Girl, aren't you angry?" She knew that in order to make the two pots of red plum blossom earlier, the older girl would take time to attend to her every night before going to bed.

   Daohua's expression is faint: "I have given red plums to my mother. As long as my mother is not unhappy, I won't be angry."

After Mrs. Li learned that Hongmei had lent Zhu Jiaoyu, she came over and explained to her that her father had a hard time walking in the officialdom and had to spend some effort to win over the colleagues and subordinates around him, otherwise, a county without a foundation. It is very difficult to carry out work.

  This matter, she understands.

  Wang Man'er: "However, Master Lin encouraged the master to borrow the red plum."

   Hearing the words, Daohua put down the needle and thread in her hand, and pondered for a moment: “Man, why don’t the people at Shuangxinyuan know how to stop?”

  Wang Man'er had no scruples, and said directly: "It's not the master to indulge." In private, she doesn't have so much scruples when talking to the girl, as long as there are no outsiders, she can speak freely.

  Inahana took up the needle and thread again. Now she can embroider something. Although it is still not beautiful, she can finally recognize what it is embroidering.

   "Yes, the root lies in my father."

  If it weren’t for the cheap father to indulge Master Lin, how could he dare to do that?

  Wang Man'er sighed: “It’s not a good thing about the big family. It’s always inevitable to fight between wives and concubines. When I ran darts with my dad, I often heard about the private affairs in the backyard of the deep house.”

   "It’s not the wife who sold the concubine’s room to death, or the concubine’s success, which in turn bullied and suppressed the concubine’s room. Even more ruthless, it harmed the children, even the fetus and children."

  Hearing this, Daohua was taken aback.

  She did not expect that her previous life would only appear in a scene in novels and television, and it would actually appear in real life, and she was still so close to her.

  For a long time, she has always felt that men are very rational, and stupid things like spoiling a concubine and annihilating his wife will not happen.

Not to mention anything else, the regular wife can be the director of the house, socialize and contribute to the prosperity of the family; and the concubine, except for Israel to serve others, can not bring substantive benefits to men, as long as men are not the brains. If you are sick, you should know how to treat your wife and concubine.

  There is a gap between reality and theory.

  In reality, few men can clearly face everything about themselves, especially men in ancient times. Women are only a subsidiary of men. They prefer to be flattered to satisfy their male chauvinism.

  The status of the concubine's room is low. If they want to live well, they will definitely know how to invite and please men. Therefore, some men who are not strong in concentration or have some dark side of the psychology are attacked by the gentle and small ideas of the concubine's room.

   Isn’t Mrs. Li beautiful? No, even if she is a few years older than Aunt Lin, the two of them stood together and looked beautiful, it was definitely Mrs. Li that was better.

  Isn’t Mrs. Li virtuous? The Yan family can have today, who dares to say that there is no credit for Mrs. Li?

  But why does Yan Zhigao like Aunt Lin more?

  Taohua thought about it carefully and felt that there were three reasons. One was her mother's birth. In this high-ranking feudal ancient times, most merchants were looked down upon by scholars.

  Secondly, her father is unwilling.

  When he was young, he could marry a well-informed wife, who had raised eyebrows and red sleeves, but because of a weak family background, he had to marry a businessman who he didn't even look down on. How could this make him reconciled?

  The third is that the cheap father feels inferior in his heart.

In this era, it is only natural for a man to support his family, but he has to rely on his wife’s dowry to live and manage official careers. This is a great denial of his ability. When facing his wife, he is always somewhat Lack of confidence.

  With these three reasons, plus Aunt Lin’s deliberate choice, it’s not surprising that the cheap father would prefer Shuangxinyuan.

"Hey!"

  Ina Flower sighed and continued to practice needlework.

  This situation in her family cannot be changed for a while.

  Hongmei loaned out, but the main room didn't respond much, but Shuangxinyuan didn't do it.

  Master Lin personally went to Zhu Jiaoyu’s home to retrieve the red plum, and invited Zhu Xiuyun, Miss Zhu’s family, to play together in the backyard of the county government.

  Zhu Xiuyun and Yan Yishuang have a good relationship, and they readily agree.

  Master Lin did not send the red plum to the front yard to the county magistrate Yan, nor did he return it to Mrs. Li in the back yard. Instead, he hugged him and walked toward Shuangxin Courtyard.

  When I was in the county government, the county magistrate Yan did not name which daughter the red plum was cultivated. So, seeing Master Lin walking towards Shuangxinyuan, Zhu Xiuyun took it for granted that the red plum was Yan Yishuang's.

  And Yan Yi got the instructions of Aunt Lin, and she came out early to meet Zhu Xiuyun, and the two met halfway through the road.

   "Xiuyun!"

   "Yeshuang!"

  The two hadn’t met each other since they didn’t go to class. Now when they saw each other, they hugged each other happily.

  Master Lin smiled and said, "Yi Shuang, please don't invite Xiuyun to sit in the pavilion."

   Yan Yi looked at him for a moment, looked at the ventilated pavilions that were not far away, wondering in her heart, how could uncle let them stay outside because it is so cold?

  However, she who has always listened to her uncle's words, she smiled and took Zhu Xiuyun's hand and walked towards the pavilion without thinking.

Zhu Xiuyun did not object, but happily said: "Yi Shuang, wait a moment, you have to let me take a good look at Hongmei. After my father takes it back, I want to see him up close and will not give it, for fear of me. It's like breaking the red plum."

  Yan Yishuang thought that Hongmei is now in the hands of her younger uncle, and it’s okay to show Zhu Xiuyun, she just happened to take a look too.

   The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, and she wants to see it too.

  Master Lin smiled and followed the two little girls. The three of them quickly entered the pavilion. Master Lin placed the red plum on the stone table in the pavilion, and the two little girls immediately surrounded them.

After a while, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile, who received the news that Zhu Xiuyun had come to the backyard of the county government, also came to the pavilion.

  The four little girls chatted around Hongmei and laughed.

  Master Lin smiled and looked at the four of them, looking at Songheyuan from time to time.

  He had already inquired clearly. At this time, Miss Yan had already finished the walk with the old lady Yan, and would usually return to the main courtyard from this road.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Daohua and Wang Man'er to appear in Master Lin's sight.

  "Girl, look, it's the second girl and the others, as well as the girl from Zhu Jiaoyu's house. She should have come to return the red plum!"

  Wang Man'er had sharp eyes, and immediately saw Hongmei surrounded by several people.

   Daohua also saw the people in the pavilion, but her eyes were more on Master Lin who was staying in the pavilion.
