Yan Cigui

Little Mrs. Duan didn’t speak for a long time, even though her mind was turning over and over again.

 During this period of silence, she reviewed her life like a whirlwind in her mind.

The Duan family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a strong academic atmosphere in the family. Some people are motivated to pursue official careers, while others focus on learning.

 She also spent her childhood in school.

The character of respecting elders and juniors, and etiquette and etiquette, which Yun Yan now regards as "too shameless", were naturally developed under the guidance of the boudoir month after month.

Just as she just said to the two nuns, her sister Duan is the same.

With such a good upbringing, none of the sisters went astray.

 She has a very good relationship with Duan.

The elder sister married into Beijing and became a concubine. The sisters often exchanged letters until the bad news came that year.

 Da Duan died of illness.

No matter the elders in the clan or the uncle's house, they were worried about the young Lin Yu. The two hit it off and married another wife from the Duan family.

 Little Duan was chosen.

"I chose you because you have a deep love for each other as sisters. We don't feel comfortable leaving our grandson to be raised by a woman from another family."

“You must always remember that you are filling the house and being the stepmother. If you give birth to a son in the future, you will not be able to surpass Ayi. The upbringing is orderly.”

"If you have even the slightest intention of teaching A'yi bad things and making him unqualified to inherit the title, and if you fail to live up to the years of teachings given to you by your family, then you are not worthy of being Duan's daughter."

“Don’t say that teaching is not good. Children are all blank slates. What they teach depends on how much effort you put into them.”

"You have to strive for success and don't end up with several sons fighting for the family business. That would be too embarrassing."

 After getting married, Mr. Duan visited his mother-in-law.

Po’s mother-in-law has a strong focus on her mother tongue.

“Women, all for the sake of their children, want the best for their own children. It is human nature, and I am the same.”

"A'yi is still young, so I don't dare to choose another girl to raise her. I believe in the Duan family's family tradition. I leave A'yi to you. I believe that even if you are partial to your own son, you will not treat A'yi and A'yi badly.玘.”

"Being a stepmother is not easy, but sincerity can definitely be replaced by sincerity."

After that, for decades, Mr. Duan worked hard.

 She firmly remembers every word of her elders, abides by her duties and does her best.

Lin Yuan is very outstanding, good at pen and ink painting, good at writing good articles, and he is also beginning to show his talent in the court. Among the younger generation of disciples, he dare not be the first, and he can be counted on one hand.

Little Duan discussed with her husband how to marry Shen Yun on behalf of Lin Yu.

 This is a good marriage.

After more than ten years of hard work, the outstanding Lin Yu, the excellent marriage, and the equally upright concubine Lin Qi, Xiao Duan handed in a perfect answer sheet.

That was also the time when she had the best reputation everywhere.

 It’s a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances.

Lin Yue did not continue his career and chose to keep a certain distance from the government. After the old uncle passed away, the sound of doves occupying the magpie's nest gradually reached the ears of Xiao Duan.

 The fact is here, she can't defend herself, even though she always hopes that Lin Yu can remarry and display her ambitions in the court.

Even, she couldn't even find an old sister who could express her feelings.

No matter how true she is, it still falls in other people's ears...

Those who don’t believe her call her pretentious. Are there any “selfless” good people in the world? It's really nice to be nice even after getting benefits.

Those who believe her will have to call her "pretentious".

 She knew it all in her heart, but she was trapped in this small corner and couldn't get out.

Now, it was Yun Yan's words that broke down the wall that blocked her, stacked up with her mother-in-law's earnest teachings that year.

 “We all have eyes and hearts.”

 “Sincerity can definitely be exchanged for sincerity.”

 No matter what others say, she, little Duan, has a clear conscience.

The tears in her eyes finally overflowed from the corners of her eyes. Xiao Duan raised her hand and wiped her face vigorously: "Yun Yan, are you kidding me?"

Lin Yunyan didn't laugh, she told little Duan Shi nonsense.

"To occupy the magpie's nest, we have to wait until the day when Yun is determined to inherit the title," Lin Yunyan pursed her lower lip, "What if before that, we become the chickens that kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, the title is gone, the nest is gone, and the whole family is gone." Get it together and stay wherever it’s not raining.” Xiao Duan:…

　　What emotions have been turning over and over again are completely mixed up in an instant.

I have to say that Bi Yunyan’s words about smashing the wall had an immediate impact, which shocked the little Duan family.

After a long time, her lips moved: "These words are really... a big deal, you kid... the old woman's heartbeat is... ugh!"

 She said it was not smooth, no matter how she said it, it was very strange.

How can anyone curse his own family like this?

Lin Yunyan gently patted Xiao Duan on the back: "Look, in this comparison, it is a good thing to be able to occupy the magpie's nest, right?"

Little Duan was dumbfounded: "I really can't compare with you."

Yun Yan talks but does not talk about martial ethics.

 A set of random punches that no teacher or teacher can withstand.

However, after hearing what she said, Xiao Duan felt much more relaxed.

 When the full moon was in the sky, a family banquet was held in the flower hall.

 The juniors toasted each other, and the atmosphere at the table was relaxed.

Sitting at the same table, the three sisters-in-law of the Chen family were talking about things in the capital. The three sisters, Yun Yan, were muttering together. They didn’t know what they were talking about. They were so happy that they didn’t even bother to use their chopsticks.

 Looking at the table next door, the three sons were eating wine, and Yun Ding and Yun Feng were talking about their homework.

 Looking outside again through the open window.

There were also three tables set up in the yard. Respectable maids and women sat at the table, joking and laughing.

Come to think of it, the banquet set up for the stewards in the front yard is also very lively.

 Involuntarily, Xiao Duan squinted his eyes and smiled.

 Yun Yan is right.

 The family knows best whether their own family is good or not.

How could such a picture be possible if the family members were not harmonious and the people under whom they were treated were not harmonious?

Of course, everyone has their own thoughts, and there are also people like Qingyan who "exchange their sincerity for evil" around her, but generally they are all good.

 After drinking cups of warm wine, Xiao Duan drank a little too much.

Mrs. Chen saw this in her eyes and advised: "You should drink in moderation, as you have always said."

"I know," Xiao Duan said with a smile, "I'm happy today."

 Ms. Chen looked at her mother-in-law for a long time.

Fine…

I heard that before greeting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Yunyang House, Xiao Duan responded in the most upright manner, not missing a single move.

Hum, my mother-in-law is not allowed to be happy about such a successful act in front of the public.

  Anyway, Mrs. Chen herself was very happy that day when she came back from reading out the wedding order outside Duke Xu's mansion.

Xiao Duan had a drink and rested after returning to Zaishouyuan.

 That night, she slept soundly and soundly.

 In Bao'an Garden, Lin Yunyan did not sleep. She boiled hot water and made a pot of tea.

 She is waiting for Lin Yu.

In the early years, this was the residence of my parents. After my mother passed away, my father moved to the study room in front of me, leaving only Lin Yunyan living there.

As she grew up, her father’s visits to Bao’an Garden became less and less frequent. If anything happened, she would go and talk to him first.

　　Every year, only during the Mid-Autumn Festival and mother's birthday, my father will definitely come.

 He sat on the stone bench in the yard and recalled the little things about his mother's life with Lin Yunyan.

The aroma of tea overflowed, and Mother Ma called her: "Princess, my uncle is here."

Grandma takes a small step forward every day, and finally it becomes a big step.
