The Shen family is the big benefactor of Miaoyin Nunnery, and the treatment she enjoys is naturally more favorable than that of ordinary incense people, as soon as Ma Xiuying came down the mountain to inquire, a monk took the initiative to take her to the courtyard where the Shen family rested. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the lush Bodhi tree, Lu Xiaoqian was half-leaning and half-sitting on the bamboo bed, a maid massaged her shoulders, a maid kneaded her legs, and Shen Wansan was carrying a bunch of grapes with water droplets and was feeding them diligently.

This kind of delicate life is simply pulling hatred, but Ma Xiuying can't be jealous for half a minute. Outsiders only see Lu Xiaoqian's scenery, who can imagine that such a noble lady also has tears in her eyes. A sentence of a daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law exhausted Lu Xiaoqian's bitterness, Ma Xiuying shuddered just thinking about it, not to mention that Lu Xiaoqian, who witnessed the pampering of her mother's family, was called like a mule when she married into her husband's family. There are in-laws to serve, and there are uncles to take care of, Shen Wansan will have to stay alone in the empty house for more than half a year when she goes to sea, and when Shen Wansan returns, she will always be on guard against the competition for favor among the concubines in the house, and only by relying on the gold of the child in her belly can she command Shen Wansan for a few days.

No one does not praise the marriage between Shen and Lu as mutually beneficial, and no one does not praise Shen Wansan and Lu Xiaoqian as a match made in heaven, but when you uncover the glamorous coat, you will find that many dirty things cannot be explained. This is just a microcosm of the backyard of the Shangjia family, and in the backyard of those century-old families, there are more things to pickle.

Yao Tianxi can't give Ma Xiuying the life he wants, in this era when family rules are more important than the law, as long as Yao Tianxi still has the blood of the Yao family in his body, he will never be able to break free from the shackles of the family. Ma Xiuying is reluctant to wade into these troubled waters, even if she can't avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's harem in the future, she will be the high-ranking mother-in-law, not the daughter-in-law who is angry at any time.

The warm atmosphere was broken by Ma Xiuying, an uninvited guest, and Shen Wansan was surprised: "Why did you come back so soon?"

"He's still in Canglang Pavilion, I'll come down first. Ma Xiuying didn't dare to ask Yao Tianxi a lot of words, but she could ask Shen Wansan, "What's wrong with him?

"Didn't he tell you?" Shen Wansan frowned and waved the maid away, "He wanted to divorce the Chen family and was reprimanded by Uncle Yao, and I don't know what he thought, he would rather go to the sea with me than apologize to his father." ”

"You are not allowed to go to sea!" Lu Xiaoqian suddenly changed color, clutching Shen Wansan's sleeve tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear immediately.

"If I don't go, I have to accompany you to give birth to the child. Shen Wansan hurriedly teased Lu Xiaoqian, and coaxed Lu Xiaoqian to relax before saying to Ma Xiuying: "You help me persuade Tianxi, Aunt Yao cried several times in front of me, saying that neither of them would bow their heads, and if they continued like this, Yao's Mansion would be ruined." ”

"Brother Yao is just impulsive, he will figure it out. Ma Xiuying was frightened, it turned out that Yao Tianxi's sentence of giving up everything was not a casual talk, but a real intention to put it into action, fortunately he rejected him, otherwise he would have become an unfaithful and unfilial person.

"You talk, I'll go see him. Shen Wansan rubbed his wrist that was pinched red by Lu Xiaoqian, and left the courtyard to the two women.

Lu Xiaoqian was more careful than Shen Wansan, without Shen Wansan's attention to attract her, she immediately noticed Ma Xiuying's unnatural expression and reddish eyes, and sighed: "If Young Master Yao really withdraws from his family, not only will the Yao family's reputation not exist, but the Chen family's reputation will definitely not give up, you have to persuade him well, and you can't let him do foolish things." ”

Ma Xiuying forced a smile, "Brother Yao won't be so confused, what he said is just angry words, and when he and Miss Chen get married, he will be stable." ”

Lu Xiaoqian comforted: "You don't have to be sad about this matter, it's all fate." Although you can't be Young Master Yao's wife, I believe that he will never let you down. When Old Master Yao is angry, he will definitely find a way to take you into the mansion. ”

Ma Xiuying shook her head, "I swore that I would not be a concubine for anyone, the Yao Mansion wealthy family, I can't afford to climb high, my sister won't say this kind of joke in the future." ”

"That is, I'd rather be a serious lady in a small family than a concubine. Those women in my house are usually obedient and obedient in front of me, and as soon as they carry me, they will try their best to seduce the rich brother, shamelessly" Lu Xiaoqian was full ......of complaints when she talked about her backyard, and she didn't care if Ma Xiuying wanted to listen to it or not.

Pregnant women are always moody, Ma Xiuying's left ear goes in and out of her right ear, and it should be Lu Xiaoqian's trash can to vent her grievances. She would rather Lu Xiaoqian curse Shen Wansan's concubine with high morale than Lu Xiaoqian comforting herself with a sympathetic tone. The future Empress Daming does not need anyone's sympathy, and one day they will know that Ma Xiuying is nobler than any woman.

The chattering Lu Xiaoqian finally closed her mouth, because Shen Wansan and Yao Tianxi were back.

Shen Wansan grinned, looking very happy, and probably had persuaded Yao Tianxi to bow his head to the old man.

Yao Tianxi was no different from usual, but Ma Xiuying obviously felt that the breath on his body was colder. He didn't show a doting smile when he saw Ma Xiuying before, but kept a certain distance and nodded to Ma Xiuying and Lu Xiaoqian.

There are thousands of knots in the heart, but they are speechless. The short distance is like a moat cutting off the seemingly nonexistent love line, Ma Xiuying's heart is so painful that she wants to escape from this place immediately, "It's not early, let's go back." ”

"You haven't worshiped the Bodhisattva yet. Lu Xiaoqian reminded, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have been pulling Ma Xiuying to spit out bitterness, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Have you ever bowed?"

"When I was waiting for you, I had already saluted the incense. ”

"Then let's go, I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't believe in fate, my fate is up to me. Ma Xiuying stepped out of the courtyard without hesitation, pinning her hopes on the ethereal gods and Buddhas, which is something that only people without faith do, whether it is in the past life or in this life, she has never been a person without opinions.

There was a little disagreement on the way back, Shen Wansanfei said that the sedan chair could not fit so many people, and asked Yao Tianxi and Ma Xiuying to take another car back. He sneered at Yao Tianxi proudly, hoping that his good brother could take this opportunity to take down Ma Xiuying in one fell swoop.

To Shen Wansan's disappointment, Yao Tianxi did not squeeze in the carriage with Ma Xiuying, he sat on the couch with the coachman, and he did not get close to Ma Xiuying for half a minute until the car stopped near Guo's mansion. With his dignified demeanor and polite resignation, the coachman couldn't help but secretly praise Yao Tianxi for being a personable gentleman.

Ma Xiuying walked a thousand pounds, and every time she took a step forward, she took a step away from Yao Tianxi, but she didn't look back until she walked into Guo's mansion, she knew that after this day, the two were really just friends, and they could only be friends. There used to be a sincere relationship, but it ended before it started, if God gave Ma Xiuying another chance, she would still choose to give up, because there was no regret in her life dictionary.

Mrs. Shen's birthday came in the anticipation of Da Zhang's mother and daughter, and Ma Xiuying rejected Lu Xiaoqian's invitation on the grounds that she had a bad reputation and didn't want to go out and be embarrassed.

"You're finally a little self-aware. Da Zhang's was very satisfied with Ma Xiuying's attitude, and took the Guo family sisters to the party with high interest, this time we must rebuild the relationship between the noble ladies and strive to find good relatives for their children.

Ma Xiuying mockingly hooked the corners of her mouth, a native chicken had to squeeze into the golden chicken, hoping not to be pecked all over the body. She hurried back to Lin Yingyuan, where there would also be a banquet, although only two people attended.

"Sister, I wish you a happy birthday!" Yuan Xing said this blessing awkwardly, and inserted the carefully carved bamboo hairpin on Ma Xiuying's head.

Except for Yuan Xing, no one knew that today was also Ma Xiuying's birthday. Fifteen years old is the most precious year of his daughter's family, and Yuan Xing alone has played various roles such as a secretary, a praiser, and a guest at the ceremony. Originally, he asked Ma Xiuying to invite Xiao Zhang and Zhou Huniu to be the host and guests, but Ma Xiuying did not agree, if Xiao Zhang and Zhou Huniu knew, they would inevitably let the Guo family know about it, and the mother and daughter of the Guo family would come to laugh at it. Ma Xiuying didn't pay attention to this kind of metaphysical ancient rite in the first place, so why let outsiders block her birthday.

Ma Xiuying took out two boiled eggs from her pocket and handed one to Yuan Xing, which she bought from the cook. In the past, when Liu Dashan and Ma were there, they would cook a red-shell egg for Ma Xiuying every year, saying that she would be like an egg and "bone" for a year, without disease and disaster, smoothly. Although her father and mother are no longer there over the years, she is still used to eating an egg on her birthday.

Yuan Xing took the egg and went back to the house silently, he knew that Ma Xiuying would have a lot to say to her father and mother on this day......

Before the sun set, the mother and daughter of the Guo family returned home in a hurry, and the Da Zhang family called Ma Xiuying to him and shouted: "You broom star, scourge spirit, when did you offend Miss Chen?"

The Guo family sisters were furious, "It's all you, let us lose face, get out of my house!"

As soon as Ma Xiuying heard Miss Chen's family, she knew that this matter was related to Yao Tianxi, she didn't want to confess, so she let the Guo family's mother and daughter abuse her, until Zhang Tianyou came to persuade her, and the big Zhang family stopped talking.

The next day, Lu Xiaoqian sent someone to bring a letter, and Ma Xiuying learned what happened at Mrs. Shen's banquet.

The mother and daughter of the Guo family did not know that Yao Tianxi had planned to withdraw from the marriage for Ma Xiuying, but this matter was not a secret among the wealthy nobles at all, and although the divorce did not become a fact, it was enough to humiliate the Chen family. Angry Miss Chen appeared on Mrs. Shen's birthday, and made a special trip to find Ma Xiuying, and it happened that Ma Xiuying did not attend the banquet, so she threw her anger on the Guo family's mother and daughter, and humiliated the Guo family's mother and daughter in public as a lowly and shabby family, and the adopted daughter of the family was shameless......

The mother and daughter of the Guo family had never been so angry, and as soon as they were about to collide back, they were warned that the Chen family's family background was not inferior to the Yao family, and they could not be easily offended. The women in the hall all glared at them with the same hatred, as if they were not the daughters of the Chen family. Under such circumstances, where could the mother and daughter of the Guo family stay, and they left the Shen Mansion in embarrassment, and no one from the Shen family came forward to stay.

Lu Xiaoqian apologized in the letter, explaining that their Shangjia family really couldn't afford to offend the Chen family, and then saw that it was the Guo family's mother and daughter who were unlucky, which could be regarded as helping Ma Xiuying get angry.

Ma Xiuying smiled bitterly, what kind of anger is this, in the end, she was scolded so bloody. After this incident, the Guo family has completely lost face in Suzhou, and it is estimated that the Da Zhang family is looking forward to letting Guo Zixing take back to Haozhou sooner than her.
