One hundred before marriage (two)

  One hundred before marriage (two)

  More than a year later, when she saw San Jie and Jiu Jie again, her heart was naturally complicated.

  The third sister looks a bit plumper than before she got married, and her face is also much rounder.

  She was wearing a long, crimson skirt with a purple satin border and a white jacket with a black lining, which made her look even more beautiful, like a lotus flower in bloom, with eyebrows shaped like the bright moon. The image of a stunningly beautiful young woman appeared vividly before one's eyes.

  It can be seen that she is doing well.

  Nature is fine, her way of doing things, as well as her noble and pure temperament, will surely gain people's respect wherever she goes.

  Alas... Ninth Sister couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart, what a pity that she and she were not sisters after all...

  " Ninth sister, how come you don't recognize me?" She pondered for a moment, and the third sister standing at the door smiled and spoke up.

  "What's wrong? Third sister, come on, let's go inside!" Ninth sister hurriedly went forward to welcome third sister.

  "Long time no see, Ninth Sister." Third Sister grasped her hand, a tinge of sadness gradually seeping into the smile on her face.

  Jiuer was taken aback.

  "Third sister, please sit down and have some tea!" At this time, the green peaches and green apricots also came forward to greet the third sister.

  The third sister's gaze fell on the two of them, and the ninth sister also looked at the two.

  The room suddenly fell silent, and all that could be heard was the sound of two maids bustling about.

  Tears gradually welled up in San Jie's eyes.

  "Third sister..." Jiuniang naturally knew that she was thinking of Qingzhao, wanting to say a few words to comfort her, but the words reached the tip of her tongue and didn't know what to say.

  She should have known about Qing's situation, even if she didn't know before. The ups and downs of Liu Jie's marriage should also have made her realize one or two things. After all, as a mother to Zou Shi, she was also familiar with her, otherwise how could she have sent Qing to her?

  Unfortunately, she still underestimated her mother's ruthless and crazy behavior, and in the end, it was Qing Ci who suffered...

  "Sorry..." The third sister closed her eyes and whispered a sentence, and tears finally fell from the corners of her closed eyes.

  At this sight, the two maidservants exchanged a glance and quickly turned around to slip out quietly. Soon only the two sisters were left in the room.

  At this time, Ninth Sister again softly persuaded her, "Alright, Third Sister, don't be sad anymore, it's all...all in the past..."

  What else could she say?

  Let San Jie go and kill Zou Shi, avenge Qing Ji. Is this possible? In this society, who would care about the life of a slave?

  Moreover, Qingji's death was absolutely related to her own close relatives. She fell and died from a hillside in the middle of the night, saying that she accidentally stepped on empty while picking up firewood.

  Was it an accidental fall? Ah... The heavenly flower version was overturned again, but why didn't they say that the young girl escaped in the middle of the night and got Zou's silver and orders, and they desperately chased after her, only to chase their own daughter into the underworld.

  The little girl wants to escape back like last time, but...

  She finally couldn't say anything more and choked up.

  The room fell silent again, with only a faint sound of sobbing that seemed to be there and yet wasn't.

  "Mother, our daughter is having a private conversation with San Niang inside the house. Please wait for a moment..." Just then, suddenly outside came the sound of green apricot branches being pulled high.

  The ninth sister was stunned, while the third sister on the other end had already stood up, wiped her red eyes, walked quickly to the door, opened it and talked to an old woman.

  That old woman was short and stout, but had a pair of drooping eyes. She chatted with San Jie while constantly glancing into the house.

  The ninth sister couldn't help but frown, but after glancing at the third sister, she also stood up and walked over, saying, "Third sister, why not let this mother come in and have a cup of tea?"

  "No, no, in front of the masters, where is there a place for me to sit?" The old woman was embarrassed by Jiu's high praise and quickly said, "Is this Miss Jiu? She's really born beautiful."

  Flattering tone, frivolous attitude.

  Jiujie suppressed her frowning movement and glanced at Sanjie beside her.

  The third sister's face, as white as jade, couldn't help but flush red, and she hastily said to the old woman, "Sun Mama, you go ahead and take a look at Qin'er and the others, I'll be right there in a moment, then we can head back to the manor."

  "No rush, no rush, you two chat." The old woman heard this and immediately smiled, seemingly satisfied, bowed to the two of them, and took her leave.

  As soon as the old woman's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, San Jie's beautiful face sank instantly.

  "Third sister..." Jiuer softly called out to her.

  "See, this is the close-fitting mother that my mother-in-law configured for me." San Jie turned to Jiu Jie, her face filled with shame and resentment, her eyes red again.

  "Third sister, let's go inside and talk..." Ninth sister said in a low voice, glancing at the group of maidservants who were lowering their heads.

  The third sister also instantly realized her mistake, closed her mouth and followed the ninth sister into the house.

  "...it was fine at first, and I never came back to see it again...because of my own reasons, I got pregnant and was afraid that if I wasn't careful, something would go wrong..."

  For the reason given by San Jie, Jiu Jie expressed understanding. Indeed, Zou Shi and Na Xin Wang Fei were both people who had difficulty having children. San Jie, who was naturally cleverer than others, did not want to follow in their footsteps. Once a miscarriage occurs, it becomes habitual.

  To stand firm in her husband's family and gain a foothold, giving birth to offspring is naturally the most important thing.

  "After I gave birth, a lot of things piled up at home and I was worried, so I wanted to come back and take a look. But my mother-in-law opposed it, saying that I should prioritize taking care of the child first. Later on, I found out that she actually looked down on my family, the Wen's. I made a fuss about this matter, but what she did next was even more outrageous - she actually sent a concubine to be with your third uncle..."

  For San Jie's reason, Jiu Jie still understands.

  Looking at the scene just now, I also know that San Jie has been trying to please her mother-in-law all along in order to consolidate her position. Thinking of San Jie's temperament, she also had to humble herself and try to please others, Jiǔ Jiě couldn't help but feel a sour taste in her heart.

  But what if it is?

  To know that both of Shi Zhen's brothers are not weak, it is natural that their wives are also not weak.

  At that time, the sisters-in-law were at odds with each other, and the great power in the mansion might not necessarily fall into her hands as the eldest daughter-in-law...

  "Your third sister's two younger brothers, one got married last year and the other is about to get married soon. The more people in the house, the more gossip there is...” Sure enough, San Jie spoke up again, her lightly knitted eyebrows filled with anxiety and worry.

  “……”

  The ninth sister didn't say anything, what could she have said?

  Is it Zou's education that has produced a daughter who never forgets the supreme and silent power of gambling, even if she is as honest as San Jie Er?

  " Ninth sister, actually I never thought it would be like this, but the result that is not so can only make people trample you more." The third sister looked at the silent ninth sister and suddenly spoke again.

  The ninth sister was stunned, both because of the cleverness of the third sister's thoughts and because her words were reasonable.

  Is there a Peach Garden in the inner courtyard of which wealthy family?

  It's not that you don't fight, others will let you go, and this little transparent person who was once the most inconspicuous in the Wenfu can't achieve that big hiding in the house, let alone San Jie is still the wife of the Guogong Fu heir, and she is the eldest daughter-in-law.

  "Jiǔ meìmeì, nǐ xībù juédé wǒ... wǒ hěn bóqíng?" Rèngle rèngle, sān jiě'ér hūrán yòu kāikǒu wèn tā.

  Translation:

  " Ninth sister, don't you think I am... heartless?" Dazed for a moment, third sister suddenly asked her again.

  "Uh..." Jiujie was stunned by her question, and after a moment's pause, she thought that maybe she was referring to the fact that she hadn't returned home since getting married. So she quickly comforted her, "Don't worry! I understand Third Sister's difficulties. Besides, I think Third Sister must be thinking of establishing herself in the Guo Gong Fu first, and then pulling our family into it."

  As soon as she heard this, the tears that had been rolling around in San Jie's eyes finally fell, and she reached out to tightly grasp Jiu Jie's hand again, choking with sobs, "Sister, you're really my soulmate!"

  The ninth sister didn't say anything, she just firmly grasped the third sister's hand.

  She believed in San Jie's character, so she naturally didn't agree with the various slanders and misinterpretations of San Jie in the mansion. She endured silently, then burst out, believing that San Jie could do it.

  "Sister, do you know why that mother-in-law of mine allowed me to come back this time?" After crying for a long time, San Jie finally calmed down and looked at Jiu Jie.

  The ninth sister lowered her eyes.

  She certainly knew that it was not a marriage, but the girl from the Wen family actually climbed up to Weiyuan Wang. Wouldn't her family also have an indirect relationship with Weiyuan Wang?

  The world has always been like this, hot and cold...

  "Nine Sisters," San Jie naturally knew what she was thinking, "these... these are not to be taken seriously, now we sisters need to work together to make our family prosperous, maybe they won't do anything for us as a backing, but at least they won't hold us back, right?"

  The ninth sister was taken aback, looking at her, and when she met those beautiful and determined eyes, she couldn't help but nod deeply.

  It's indeed a crucial issue. In the future, the Weiyuan Wangfu will be even more powerful, and what she needs to do now is to manage the Wen family well, promote its development, and make it prosperous.

  For myself, but also for these family members!

  In the following days, San Jie came back frequently to accompany Li Taijun and chat with her, help Jiang Shi manage accounts, and persuade Zou Shi together with Zou Zhen'er who complained every day.

  But more often with Jiu Jie Er, whenever there is free time, go to several brothers who read books, encourage them, talk to them, and even occasionally discuss some academic questions.

  The government wants to prosper, naturally starting from these few people. No matter how capable the girls are, it's still these few who support the family and establish a household.

  Fortunately, these few people were still okay——

  Wen Jing and Shui Wen Jing Yue are not worth mentioning, both of them have poetry and books in their hearts and have great ambitions.

  Later, two more joined: Wen Jingmu, the son of Zhen's family, although not very talented, but quite hardworking; as for the third young master Wen Jingjin, although also not very talented, under the influence and supervision of his wife Xiao Shi who was already six months pregnant, he also made progress.

  Hardware is settled, then it's software —

  That's the provincial government's finances!

  Because several villages under the jurisdiction of the government have been showing poor returns in recent years, Third Sister suggested that someone from the government should go down there personally to take a look and understand the specific situation.

  The one who must go is naturally Chiang's family, and Chiang also chose two capable assistants, namely Jiuniang and Zhen Shi.

  I really didn't expect to have another chance to experience ancient rural life, and when Jiujie heard the news, she couldn't help but get a little excited...

  ……

  Digression

  Hehe, I'm out... will we meet?
