Chapter 293: Awakening (Two Shifts in One)
Only you know whether the shoes fit or not, outsiders look lively, but there are all kinds of disturbances in the British mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The eldest girl, Pan Shuying, leaned on the couch, looked at the pomegranate brocade wedding dress that she had embroidered by herself for more than half a year on the wooden shelf on the wall, and then looked at a mahogany box covered with red silk on the front few pieces, inside was a pair of jade Ruyi, which was the reward of the queen's mother, which was just sent by the palace.
Pan Shuying smiled bitterly: Yes, it's good, I finally gave her a little face in front of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, didn't I see my grandfather touching his beard with satisfaction just now and saying "Okay" twice?
If someone else's girl marries and can be rewarded by the queen, even if it is just a hairpin, she must be proud, what a great honor! But, but who made her Pan Shuying the queen's own niece, and who made her still look forward to it? Hehe, she thought too much.
When the Song family came in, she happened to see the wry smile on Pan Shuying's face before she had time to put it away, and her heart hurt, her Ying'er was gentle and beautiful, and she was all fine in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was well-known in the circle of nobles in the capital. Moreover, everyone said that Ying'er's eyes looked like the queen's mother, but why couldn't the queen see it?
Tomorrow is Ying'er's wedding, and they are all waiting for the queen's makeup. Even if it is not much, even if it is only a lift, it is the queen's attitude as a real aunt, isn't it? It's a pity that in the end, it was only a pair of jade Ruyi, which was a congratulatory gift from the queen mother to the eldest son of the Li family and the eldest girl of the Pan family.
Song was really remorseful for a while, regretting that he was bewitched by his sister-in-law when he returned to Penang last time, and he was anxious to calculate Pan Jiaming's family affairs, so that the kid was separated from him;
"Forget Ying'er, let's think about the benefits," in this situation, the Song family could only comfort their daughter, "Your grandfather is right, over the years, except for the emperor or the queen himself, the queen has rarely given rewards, in order to show the dignity of the royal reward." This time it can be regarded as saving face for you, and the Li family doesn't dare to despise you. Hey, what is this box? It's quite expensive. "There was a larger, taller wooden box next to the mahogany box, which seemed to be made of rosewood.
Pan Shuying finally had a smile on her face: "The makeup given by my grandmother was just delivered, just a while before we went out to receive the queen's reward." "Her efforts in front of the old lady for many years are still very worthwhile, in addition, today the queen will reward the jade Ruyi, and the father and mother think that it is the reason why the grandfather sent a message into the palace, and only she firmly believes that it is the reason for the old lady. The queen is really filial and close to the old lady, and to her grandfather, it is just a face-saving feeling, otherwise this British mansion would have been a big house a long time ago.
"Oh, I'll see," Song hurriedly took two steps forward and opened the box, which contained three sets of high-quality noodles, one set of gold, one set of jade, and one set of rubies, as well as a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of jade pendants, ten thumb-sized nanzhu, and five thousand taels of silver tickets.
"The old lady is quite generous this time," Song smiled, suddenly thought of something, and pursed her lips again, "However, that old lady has treasures, these things are not at all in her eyes, and a little leakage from her fingers is just to coax you." If you really treat you as a granddaughter, you have to prepare two more from her private room. "The old lady was born in a big family, and it is said that she was also ten miles of red makeup back then, and she only filled two loads of precious jewelry.
Pan Shuying snorted: "My grandmother treated me as her granddaughter, and a pair of ugly old golden hairpins twenty years ago sent me away." She also put on a look of a lot of blood, and kept asking her not to forget her grandfather's love for her, and to think more about helping her uncle and cousins after marrying into the Li Mansion. Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that she was married to the Prime Minister's Mansion, her grandmother and two uncles wouldn't have rushed to the capital to attend the marriage ceremony, right?
What else does the Song family have in the capital now? That is, the two-entry courtyard where they live now, right? Another purpose of returning to Beijing this time is to sell that courtyard. In the future, when the Song family returns to the capital, will they have to live in the British Mansion with a cheeky face?
"Ying'er," Song was really hurt, although she also felt that her mother was too stingy, but the naked contempt in her daughter's eyes really stung her. How can her mother's family background and private house be compared with that of the old lady? Even if her mother still has some private houses, she has already used them to supplement her son and grandson. If it weren't for Ying'er's good marriage, I'm afraid that her mother would still be reluctant to take out that pair of hostas.
"Okay, mother," Pan Shuying said coldly, "Don't look at your grandmother's rich private room." No matter how many treasures people have, it is normal to leave them to their grandchildren, what is the matter with having grandchildren? Now that my grandmother can add so much makeup to me, I am very content. In the future, when it is Min'er's turn, I am afraid that it will be good to have a pair of bracelets. "What the old lady gave her is enough for the dowry of an ordinary official's daughter. In other words, the silver in the box given to her by the Gongzhong Mansion was only 8,000 taels, and her mother gave 2,000.
Song was extremely angry, a little annoyed and angry, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Pan Shuying waving his hand: "Don't be angry first, what I said is the truth, isn't it?" Min'er, you really have to teach, don't instill any phoenix life, rich life and other things, you should know that no matter what happens to her in the future, the old lady can't ask her to go." Not to mention that the old lady is a grandmother, and everything that makes a fuss is just a shame for us. ”
"And ...... Pan Shuying didn't want to listen to her mother's argument at all, and continued, "And the second brother, I said it a long time ago, don't go too far, really take him for a fool." The second brother is playful and noisy, but he is by no means a fool to be manipulated, he just doesn't have so many eyes. But he doesn't have a heart, the queen has a heart, you don't look at it, it turned out that it was only four and two, and now Xiao Feng, who has more eyes than you, is by the side of the second brother, what can you get? The second brother is not even willing to go back to the capital to marry me this time, do you really think that he is afraid of the emperor's punishment and grandfather's scolding? He just doesn't want to. The second brother is now in contact with a lot of people doing things outside, and there are people around him who are staring at teaching, so he will know how to think more if he doesn't have the heart. ”
"How dare he ....." Song still didn't want to believe that she couldn't handle Pan Jiaming anymore.
"Why wouldn't he dare?" Pan Shuying sneered, "He just won't come back now, do you have a way? Didn't he bring me a half-human-tall coral, a box of pearls, and ten tribute satins? Everyone praised him for being a good cousin, can you go and say that he must leave his errands and rush back?"
Song was forced by his daughter to ask him so much that he was powerless, his face was red and white, and his breath became heavier and heavier......
Pan Shuying couldn't bear it after all, and slowed down her attitude: "Mother, I don't want to say it so seriously, but in the past, it was light, but you never took it to heart, you are too ...... If there is no queen mother, it is still possible for you to raise the second brother as you want, but the reality is that there is a queen mother staring at him, and the emperor constantly gives him opportunities to force him to grow up, and even sends a role model to follow him closely. Look at it, the second brother will only become more and more capable and promising.
And what does the eldest brother have? It's just that you have one more talent than the second brother, and you will be complacent. The Jinshi in the capital are all about arresting, what's the use of a little show? Mother, don't deceive yourself anymore, wake up quickly!
The eldest brother now has Princess Thea, although the emperor will not reuse it, but there will definitely be a good-looking and good-sounding idle errand, even if the family goes out in the future, if there are no accidents, the rich and comfortable days can still be guaranteed.
Don't think about taking care of the second brother anymore, cultivate Min'er and Xin'er well, and repair the relationship with the second brother is true. Grandmother's side should also be respected, there are no pros and cons. Mother, think about it, I'm going to say hello to my grandmother and thank you. "It's not that she has always been well-behaved and dutifully guarding the rules of her granddaughter, how can there be any benefits today? The old lady is not very good to her on the face, but she is still soft-hearted in the end. Of course, it is still thanks to her persistence for ten years?
She knows very well that after marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she wants to live a good and happy life, she still has to rely on the old lady and Pan Jiaming.
Looking at the back of her daughter drifting away, Song suddenly had a sense of decadence that she had failed, according to Ying'er, her smugness in the past ten years was full of illusions? Her complacent self-deception was all self-deception? I don't know why, her mind suddenly showed the ridicule and contempt on her face when Pan Jiaming told her about Song Hongtu's accident in Los Angeles, he wouldn't have known her hard work to raise him all these years, and then saw that Song Hongtu was the real waste, and felt sarcastic and proud, right? Yes, Xiao Feng must have brainwashed him, so he became more and more alienated from her and Jin'er, and even became vigilant, so he gloated over Song Hongtu......
Ying'er is right, she is too self-righteous, how could such a shrewd person as the queen be raised by her to abolish Pan Jiaming? The queen just thinks that it is okay for Pan Jiaming to be arrogant when he is young, whether it is the head of the three tyrants or the first gentleman, it just reflects his status and cultivates his domineering, right?
Yes, it must be, so Pan Jiaming doesn't care about eating, drinking, and having fun, walking horses and fighting cocks, but the female sex is controlled to death, and there is no room for her. So Pan Jiaming was only over seventeen years old, and the emperor began to force him to run errands, or to leave the capital to run errands, just so that the distance between them and the big house could not affect him?
Therefore, she thought that she was doing something hidden and clever, but in fact, the queen knew it at all, and only watched her sing a one-man show, treating her like a clown...... Cunning, too ...... Terrible, too ...... Damn!
After thinking about everything, Song had an epiphany, solved all the doubts in his heart in the past six months, and completely ...... Depressed, he slumped limply on the couch. How should she go after this? How should the whole big house go? Should she have a good talk with the eldest master and Jin'er? The eldest master has always blamed her for not holding Pan Jiaming, and they didn't even think through Ying'er! Looking back now, Ying'er did say something similar euphemistically before, but she didn't care about it, and she regretted it!
"Mother, have you figured it out?" Pan Jiajin, who appeared at the door of the house at some point, had a bitter smile mixed with a thick self-deprecation, showing a very hideous look, "Actually, I only found out a few days ago that we made a big mistake, but it wasn't until just now, after listening to Ying'er's words, that I completely figured out what we were wrong." Hehe, it turns out that the smartest person in our big house is Ying'er. ”
Looking at the two boxes that were open at the moment, and thinking of what his grandfather said to his father and him in the study before, Pan Jiajin had to admit that he was much worse than Ying'er. is also a child of the big house, and the old lady is also indifferent to them on weekdays, but, obviously, the old lady treats Ying'er more generously than to him. Ying'er is right, the old lady's things, whether she is willing to leak a little to them, how much to give, it is completely up to her own pleasure, they are helpless.
Even, he learned today that the property of the British public school was divided and registered as early as the year of the death of the second uncle, at the request and supervision of the queen, according to the difference between the concubines and concubines. Therefore, Dafang's dowry to Princess Thea this time is deducted from the part of Dafang's property, which means that Dafang can get less property when the family is really divided in the future.
He also learned today that as early as when his father and Aunt He, that is, his own grandmother, entered the Guogong Mansion, his great-grandfather had already transferred part of the property that was originally public property to the second uncle who was still a child, so even if the property was not divided back then, the private property of the second house, the private property of the old lady, and the dowry of the second lady added up to more than three or four times that of all the properties of the Guogong Mansion.
All this is only because his father is a concubine, or a concubine born in the outer room, he has lost the face of the British government, he is disgusted by his great-grandfather, and even his grandfather is disliked by his great-grandfather, so he has lost control of the Eagle Guard, and even to this day he has never seen any of the Eagle Guard, and he does not know the trace of the Eagle Guard. What a pathetic patriarch of the Pan family! It is also a pity that my grandfather did not get angry with my father, but at the big house.
This is the sorrow of Dafang as a concubine and concubine, it was doomed from the beginning, no matter how hard he tried to please his grandfather and overpower Pan Jiaming, it was useless.
Fortunately, he woke up in time and seized the opportunity to find a way out again, his father was incompetent, and his mother would only make up for his mother's family, so he could only rely on himself. Everything in this mansion, no matter who they used to belong to or who they should be, will belong to him Pan Jiajin! Pan Jiaming has a good life and a good start, but he will definitely not have a good ending.
Pan Jiajin raised his eyebrows, from today on, whether it is to his grandfather, grandmother, father, or Pan Jiaming, he will change his attitude and change the way he gets along, everything has just begun......
"Mother, now that you have figured it out, you should put more effort into pleasing your grandmother in the future, and then teach Min'er well," Pan Jiajin looked at Song and said, "Erlang will leave it to me, don't worry about it anymore." Also, Thea is very important to me, you have to prepare the yard where she lives, and after she marries, you don't want to restrain her too much and annoy her, just treat her like you did in Los Angeles and teach her how to please the queen.
