"The second aunt is too worried. Of course I won't stay here for a long time. My wife is still waiting to discuss the marriage with me (the marriage between Sun Yi and the Xu family). I'm sure there are any girls in the Xu family waiting to be married. I know better than outsiders, so of course I have to help Madam choose the most satisfactory daughter-in-law this time." Xu Rou said calmly.
The tone may not be sinister, but Yuan Yuan's emotional intelligence couldn't tell the meaning of Xu Rou's words. Xu Rou was obviously saying that she, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, was not satisfactory.
"What exactly do you want to say? You didn't just come here to mock me, right?" Yuan Yuan said calmly.
"What do I want to do?" Xu Rou raised her eyebrows, "I think it's Second Aunt, what do you want to do?"
Saying that, Xu Rou raised her finger and pointed at the layout of the scene.
"Embroidery, playing the piano, drinking tea, and chanting scriptures. Second Aunt, your life is very leisurely! Since you married into the Sun family, Second Aunt, what have you done for the Sun family?"
Xu Rou asked,
"My second uncle was tricked by Yuan Shu many times back then. In the end, he ignored the past grudges, kept his engagement, and married you. And what about you? You spend your days leisurely, living as if you are an outsider. Have you ever been a good wife? Look at my wife. , I have been almost exhausted recently, but you are here embroidering! Second Aunt, you really know how to enjoy it!"
"Then, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir. Second Aunt, don't you feel ashamed that you have no children after all these years of marriage? You can't give birth to a son yourself, so don't delay my second uncle."
"Besides, there have been some rumors outside recently. Second Aunt, please don't say you don't know anything. Back then, Second Uncle took in your Yuan family despite everyone's opinions, and he was under a lot of pressure. But now, everyone outside All the old things are brought up again to discredit Second Uncle. Second Aunt, this happened because of you, you can't remain indifferent, right?"
Xu Rou looked at Yuan Yuan coldly and said.
At first, Yuan Yuan was trembling with anger at Xu Rou's words, but at the end of it, she calmed down completely, calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Did Madam ask you to talk about this?" Yuan Yuan suddenly looked at Xu Rou and asked.
Xu Rou was stunned for a moment, then sneered again,
"Second Aunt, Madam treats you so well, but you think so of her. I feel really sad for Madam."
"Okay, I understand, please step aside." Yuan Yuan picked up the tea bowl on the table and saw off the guests.
"You!" Xu Rou glared angrily.
"Why, isn't Madam still waiting for you to discuss the marriage?" Yuan Yuan said lightly.
"Second Aunt, take care of yourself!" Xu Rou slammed the door and walked out.
Even though the two of them came from the same family and were not much different in age, the outstanding children trained by the Yuan family, the fourth and third generation, were far beyond the comparison of the local tycoons.
With just a few words, Yuan Yuan could tell that this Xu Rou might have some obscure personal feelings, and maybe she really thought that she, Yuan Yuan, was not worthy of Sun Quan, but this girl was obviously being used as a weapon. Don't know yet.
Yuan Yuan knows that Mrs. Wu will definitely not instruct Xu Rou to do these things, but just a few simple hints or complaints are enough to drive Xu Rou to come to her door!
First of all, how can Yuan Yuan dare to share worries? Mrs. Wu is strong not only because she is a strong woman, but also because the Wu family stands behind her! When Mrs. Wu needs someone to share her worries, she will only turn to Wu Jing and other family members. If Yuan Yuan really joins in naively, it will only make people think that she is ambitious and wants to seize power! In addition, Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong recently. There is Sun Ce above Sun Quan. It is not Yuan Yuan's turn to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks.
Secondly, Sun Quan has no heirs. Is it really her Yuan Yuan's fault? Who knows how much effort Yuan Yuan has put into this? The feeling is impossible to describe to outsiders.
Therefore, the first two points are just excuses to gain momentum. The most fundamental reason is the last point - the Yuan family!
Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, which was evidence of a crime that could not be evaded. Sun Quan took in the Yuan family and married Yuan Shu's daughter. He has always been criticized by others. Yuan Yuan knew that the reason why the old matter was brought up again and public opinion was so loud this time was mainly due to three reasons.
1. Sun Quan can even take in the traitor Yuan family, which shows that he does not care about the justice of his family and country! No righteous person can truly follow such a person. Although everyone knew that this was an excuse, many people used this as an excuse to disapprove of Sun Quan's rule and insisted on waiting for Sun Ce to return.
2. Although the Yuan family is the family of Yuan Shu, they are actually the same family as Yuan Shao in the north. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at odds with each other at first, but this feud was ended after Yuan Shu's death. Now that Yuan Shao is powerful, I believe that Yuan Shu's family is willing to join Yuan Shao, and with the generosity and courage that Yuan Shao has always shown in front of the world, he will also be willing to accept these people. Therefore, the Yuan family is still suspected of collaborating with the enemy, which even Yuan Yuan cannot deny. The Yuan family has always exchanged private letters with Yuan Shao in the north. Once Yuan Shao really goes to war with the Sun family, I am afraid that some members of the family will secretly help Yuan Shao.
3. The Yuan family has a profound heritage, and the children in the family are all excellent and have many talents. Originally, the Yuan family, as a foreign family, had no roots in Jiangdong and was difficult to develop. But now, Sun Quan had chosen a tribe to greatly weaken the power of the local gentry. Perhaps in Sun Quan's view, he was interested in the children of poor families, and he hoped to recruit real talents, but in the eyes of many people, Sun Quan was simply opening the way for him and his wife's family!
Just imagine, once the selection department is up and running, everyone in the Yuan family is a talented person, wouldn't everyone be able to get in? In the past, the policy of the Han Dynasty was to promote filial piety and honesty, and each family had a limited number of places. For example, in the Xun family, outstanding people such as Xun Yu were only promoted to be filial and honest when they were very old. There was no way, so many clan members were waiting in line. But now, Sun Quan has made reforms, and it is done in one step, which is equivalent to unified national college entrance examination papers and unified admission. As a result, some provinces and cities with weak education may only have a few sporadic Tsinghua and Peking University, or even none at all. Got it! Replacing provinces and cities with families, replacing Tsinghua University and Peking University with being an official, wouldn’t this mean that certain families will lose their heirs?
Sun Quan may not have thought that in the matter of selecting troops, the Yuan family helped him divert a large part of his hatred. Many Jiangdong nobles still believe that if there were no Yuan family, if Sun Quan had not married Yuan Shu's daughter, he might not have done anything to select his troops!
Mrs. Wu used Xu Rou to tell Yuan Yuan that you married into the Sun family and have been comfortable for so many years. It's time for you to do something for the Sun family.
Yuan Yuan walked slowly to the embroidery and suddenly smiled. Her charming smile could not hide the tears in her eyes. This was the coat she had specially embroidered for Mrs. Wu, and it was almost finished. In addition, there are already embroidered clothes left for Sun Quan in the room, as well as clothes prepared for future children.
"Dad, you are right. Only if our family remains strong, others will always respect us. My daughter is unfilial and brings shame to the family."
