This Mrs. Chen San is the wife of Chen Sanye, the eldest son of the second wife who was separated.
The second wife is gone, and now it is Mr. Chen who calls the shots. Mrs. Chen is also the head wife of the Chen family in the outer city, so she has always had a high self-esteem.
But, what is the identity here?
Mr. Chen Sanye was unable to study and had no fame, but fortunately, he also received some modest income when the family was separated. Coupled with some of the family property he had accumulated in the past, he could be regarded as a prominent figure.
Of course, only in the outer city.
If you arrive in the inner city, how can you show your dignity as a commoner?
Mrs. Chen San didn't think so. She just felt that her own son also served as an official. Although his rank was lower, he was still young and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Mrs. Chen San was born as a merchant, and her family had a lot of money. Perhaps due to the influence of her family since she was young, she was extremely snobbish and always thought that having money could settle everything. She really had the stench of copper all over her body.
Mrs. Chen San also has a young son who has not been married. She is fifteen this year and should have said goodbye to her a long time ago. However, she has always been unable to achieve her goals, which is why it has been delayed until now.
As soon as Mrs. Chen San opened her mouth, everyone stopped and looked towards her.
Mrs. Chen said with a slight dissatisfaction: "My cousins have good taste. Of course that one is blessed. By the way, when it comes to blessings, I think my cousins are the ones who are really blessed. I heard that your Jiaxing brother is going to be here this year." Participate in Qiu Wei?"
Mrs. Chen calmly turned the topic to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing is already married, and his wife gave birth to a daughter for him last year. However, he heard that he still didn't accept it. Even after being assigned to Zhuangzi, he still had no rest in his romantic thoughts.
Although Mrs. Chen doesn't like to talk to this cousin, she does pay a little attention to their family's affairs.
I heard that after Chen Xing came to Zhuangzi, all the maids and servants there who were younger and more upright-looking were poisoned by him. What a disaster!
When Mrs. Chen San heard her mention her son, the smile on her face became even more proud.
"Yes, Brother Xing is good at reading. My husband also said that he will definitely be on the list this autumn."
As soon as these words came out, the other ladies all had expressions of disdain on their faces.
Where did this person come from, so incapable of reading people's faces and hearing nice words?
And I dare not say anything out loud!
The words are accurate at this time, but if they fail to hit the target then, wouldn’t it be a shame?
But Mrs. Chen San is stupid and doesn't know it. She always thinks that her son is the best, and ordinary girls are not worthy of her son.
"Sister-in-law, not only is our brother Xing good at reading, but my friend's brother is also good. Now my eldest brother has been transferred back to Beijing. If our friend, brother Xing, doesn't understand anything in the future, he has to come to visit us. Please tell me, brother, you can’t hide anything when the time comes!”
The corners of Mrs. Chen's mouth twitched, could his master hide it?
Your two sons are both scholars now. If the master talks about some profound knowledge, will they really understand it?
I don’t know where this woman gets her confidence!
With Mrs. Chen interjecting, the topic was over.
Mrs. Chen also didn't want to make Liu Ruolan unhappy.
The one wearing aqua blue clothes is none other than Xie Rongzhao!
Unexpectedly, halfway through the banquet, Mrs. Chen San brought the topic to Xie Rongzhao again.
"By the way, sister-in-law, which family does the girl in aqua blue clothes belong to? How old is she this year?"
Mrs. Chen's face was already tense, and her hand holding the chopsticks was also exerting force. She was really afraid that she would not be able to control herself and slap this woman again.
Seeing everyone looking at her again, Mrs. Chen San shook her head and said quite proudly: "My youngest son is not married yet. Although he cannot study well, he is good at martial arts. He is thinking of joining our Dayong next year. As for the martial arts people, it’s not a problem to become a small general Dangdang in the future!”
"presumptuous!"
Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it any longer, and slammed her chopsticks on the chopstick pillow, and said angrily: "My cousins, you still need to be careful about your words and deeds. How can you talk about the affairs of the imperial court casually?"
Mrs. Chen San didn't know what she said wrongly. She was so frightened that she said, "Why is sister-in-law so angry? I didn't say anything!"
At this time, Xu Ruyi on the side couldn't stand it anymore. Is Mrs. Chen San's head full of mush?
The people who can sit here are either the wives of officials or the daughters of aristocratic families. How can she, a commoner's wife, have such confidence?
"Mrs. Chen San, there are some things you shouldn't say casually. Once someone takes it seriously and finds out... think about your eldest son who is the school secretary."
Only then did Mrs. Chen San feel a chill on her back.
He glanced at the thing a little guiltily, then lowered his head to eat, not daring to speak casually anymore.
Mrs. Chen is going to be pissed off by this stupid woman.
How could there be people who don't know how to read people's faces?
Xie Rongzhao and the others on the other side didn't know what was going on here. The ladies were eating delicacies, drinking fruit juice, and whispering a few words from time to time. The atmosphere was quite good.
Wang Qin'er was also arranged to sit at the same table as Xie Rongzhao and the others, but her attention was more focused on which girl was well-dressed and wore expensive jewelry.
After walking around, I found that there were really few people who could compare to Xie Rongzhao.
Wang Qin'er lowered her eyes and thought to herself that she would have to find a stronger family than the Xie family to marry into.
The main reason why Wang Qin'er had this idea was because he had heard some gossip.
When she was following her parents in office, she overheard their parents' conversation and mentioned her marriage.
At that time, Wang Jin thought of marrying Wang Qin'er to Xie Xiuwen's eldest son, Xie Ronghui.
It was just rejected by Xu Ruyi.
The reason is simple.
"Husband, it's not that I look down on our daughter, it's just that you think that Xie Ronghui was originally the eldest grandson of the eldest family member, and was later adopted into the name of Mr. She is taller than you, it would be better if Qin'er is a legitimate daughter, but a concubine, how can we open this mouth?"
Wang Jin also came up with this idea on a whim after drinking.
Now that his wife said this, he immediately woke up.
"What you are saying is that Qin'er is still a bit inferior in terms of status. I have met Brother Hui. Although he is not as talented as Zicheng in terms of academic performance, his emphasis is on diligence, and he is an upright person. His future will definitely not be the same. That’s too bad, but I shouldn’t have promoted our children.”
Because of this, as soon as Wang Qin'er returned to Beijing, she wanted to go and see the current life in the Xie Mansion.
After she met Xie Ronghui once, she felt that if her mother hadn't stopped him, she might have been able to marry into the Xie family.
However, as time passed, she directed her hatred towards the Xie family.
She always felt that it was because they looked down on her that they were unwilling to accept her. She never thought that the so-called marriage was just a casual chat between her parents.
