MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

 Chapter 60 Distinguished Guest Arrives

If we don't plan some escape route early, I'm afraid life will be even more difficult.

Not to mention the high cost of the private school, the two of them, together with the third old lady, went to Yunjin Courtyard to beg Mrs. Wei and reluctantly sent the children from the third bedroom into it.

Now the child is useless and has been returned without saying a word.

How could Erlang's daughter-in-law, who had always been so conceited, not be angry because she had lost face in front of the people in Yunjinyuan?

"Second sister-in-law, don't think too much. The children on your left and right are still young, so you can't decide now. If there is no way to go, why don't you go talk to the sixth sister-in-law and ask her to give Liulang a pillow and send the children off?" We go to the military camp to experience something, and we don't really have to go to the battlefield. In the future, if we can arrange a medium-sized official position in the Imperial Guard of Sui'an City, or in the Gyeonggi Department, wouldn't it be a stable life for a lifetime? "

The third man's wife had a good idea, but unfortunately, the second man's wife rejected it.

I saw Erlang's wife looking sideways at Sanlang's wife, and then said coldly.

"Have you forgotten what happened on the day when you received the imperial edict? That Du family is not easy to get along with. Look at how she talks. Isn't it just because her mother's family is rich and her husband has power? She looks like a pheasant, and I don’t even know what kind of thing she is. Do you really think you’ve flown up a branch and turned into a phoenix? Bah!”

The scolding of Erlang's wife made Sanlang's wife a little unable to answer.

Although her natal family is an official, her official position is so small that her life is really not as good as that of wealthy businessmen like the Du family who are well-known in Sui'an City.

They lived a bitter life clinging to official status, but Du Jingyi was truly pampered and raised. This can be seen from Du Jingyi's daily expenses on food and clothing.

They are all married by women. How can they not be envious or jealous of Du Jingyi’s ten-mile red makeup?

 But what about envy? What about jealousy?

 It’s just that your life is not as good as others’, what else can you do?

 So, compared to the hatred of Erlang's wife, Sanlang's wife did not have much ill will towards Du Jingyi, she just wanted to get some benefits from her.

The two sisters were talking when they heard someone coming from outside.

 “Is the second sister-in-law in the house?”

 The voice is brisk, with a hint of the coquettishness of a young woman.

 Er Lang's wife and San Lang's wife looked at each other, and couldn't help but look outside. Their expressions were a little happy, and San Lang's wife said something.

“As soon as I heard this sound, I knew it was Liu Niang who was back.”

Sure enough, the person outside the door opened the curtain and walked in. The person who came was indeed Shang Liuniang.

 She is the youngest daughter of the third family, and her only name is "霏".

　　As the name suggests, he was born really well.

 But now I am twenty-four, and I have been married for six or seven years.

Your husband is Jia Weiyou, the second son of the Jia family, a famous rice and grain merchant in Sui'an City.

In order to marry her, the Jia family also sent a lot of dowry, so Shang Liuniang was the first to be favored in the third room.

 Not for anything else, just so that she could always find a way to get some money from her husband's family to support her natal family.

 Shang Liuniang saw the two sisters-in-law as soon as she came in, so she smiled and said.

“Yeah, the third sister-in-law is here too, so I’ll pay tribute to the two sisters-in-law.”

 Shang Liuniang has a lively temperament and is generous in her dealings.

 So when Erlang’s wife and Sanlang’s wife saw her coming, they forgot about their worries and said with smiles on their faces.

 “Why did you come here on such a hot day?”

 Shang Liu Niang, although she is over 10 years old, her face is very well maintained, and she looks no different from her daughter who is still in the boudoir.

And the petal jade butterfly hairpin made of southern red agate on the bun is also particularly dazzling.

That was a birthday gift from her husband, Jia Weiyou.

“This autumn looks great, but it’s actually not that hot anymore. Besides, I walked on the verandah all the way here, so I didn’t get much sun.”

Seeing her innocent smile, Erlang's wife was filled with envy. Everyone has a good life, but she was married into the government of this country and suffered the consequences.

Thinking of this, the good mood that had just aroused disappeared again.

Seeing her face darken, Shang Liu Niang asked a little strangely.

“Second sister-in-law, what’s going on? My second brother is in trouble again?”

 Shang Liu Niang knew who her second brother was when she was still at home.

 Hence, the second sister-in-law spends most of her days either angry with him or trying to deal with the aftermath.

 That’s why I asked this question when I came here.

Erlang's wife was upset and didn't want to complain about her private matters in front of others, so she changed the subject of the conversation.

“It’s all trivial matters, so don’t talk about it. Why do you have time to come here today? But is there anything?”

“How could I say that my second sister-in-law is smart? She knew my purpose right away.”

 Then, Shang Liu Niang took a sip of tea before speaking.

“Do you two sisters-in-law know that Pingliang Temple is going to build a golden body?”

“Your third sister-in-law was talking here just now, what’s the matter?”

"The Jia family has heard some rumors, saying that the prince and several princes in the palace will also be present to host and participate. This is a great opportunity!"

 Shang Liu Niang said it seriously and mysteriously, which made the two sisters-in-law a little confused.

“Here, come here, we can just join in the fun or something. Is it possible that we can also let the girls from your third brother’s family go to a show?”

Erlang’s wife said jokingly.

She only gave birth to three sons. Apart from the two who were studying, she still had a baby in the house.

 But Sanlang’s wife has two sons and two daughters. But these two daughters, one is six years old and the other is three years old, how can they really talk about marriage.

 So as soon as these words came out, Sanlang's wife also laughed and said jokingly.

"I would rather have a prince or prince, or something like an emperor's grandson, so that the two sisters in my house can have a chance. But it's the prince and prince, so let's forget it. This family is rich, and we It’s impossible to climb.”

 After saying this, he looked at Erlang's wife.

Both of them had sarcasm in their eyes, as if they meant something.

Although Shang Liu Niang has been married for several years, she knows a lot about the things at home.

 Speaking of which, this business is really prosperous.

The Duke of Shang had two brothers and two sisters. Not counting the descendants of the sisters, there were many people named Shang who lived in the Duke's mansion.

There are four brothers in the same generation as the current Duke Shang Yukuan.

They are the second master Shang Yuding (the eldest son of the fifth family), the third master Shang Yurong (the eldest son of the third family), and the fourth master Shang Yuan (the second son of the fifth family).

There are also four married aunts, let’s not ignore them for now.

The four brothers wrote together, and the children they had were collectively known as the "seven sons and eight niangs".

 Among them, the children born to Shang Yukuan and Mrs. Gu were Dalang Shangxian, Liulang Shangji and Banniang Shangxue.
