It's hard for people who are too heavy to be happy, and Shen Zangxiang, who is obviously very smart and excellent, always has a peculiar inferiority complex for his mother-in-law. Shuheng knew that although she listened to her own advice on the surface, it was still a little difficult to really talk openly with her mother-in-law. Afraid of being disliked, afraid of being said to be petty. It is normal for copycats to have a little inferiority complex on Apple.

But after all, she was still young, with infinite possibilities and opportunities, and her many cautious walks on thin ice finally made her mother-in-law, the de facto master of the entire Fuguo Mansion, realize the problem. The heart of the inner house, which controls the entire Guogong Mansion and directly affects and regulates the family atmosphere, finally realized that it was necessary to change the strategy of getting along with his daughter-in-law slightly.

"Madame is simply perfect." The maid in the red dress and green jacket silently entered with the lacquer tray, the silver-inlaid plum blossom pot with a thin handle was slightly tilted, and the orange liquid fell into the small porcelain cup of the swiftlet's red blessing bottom and the white tire, stopping at two-thirds of the position. There is a four-color snack on the begonia-style carved lacquer strip case at hand. The red jujube skin rouge cake, the white sesame stuffed Jiang rice dough, the yellow lotus leaf pea cake, and the green mugwort goose rolls are laid out in turn.

Shuheng smiled and sent Yu Ji's big gift box over: "I can't pay attention to these when I eat, it's the shape and color, I just pick my own." ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly: "If you want to pay attention to it, then you can naturally pay attention to it." ”

"Hmm." Shu Heng nodded, she leaned on the table with her chin quite coquettish, and her pink face was very close to Mrs. Yan: "But Madam is so beautiful with a swing of her hand, I don't dare to eat it." ”

"What's not to dare?" Xiao Yan lifted the corner of his clothes with one hand, personally twisted the ebony silver-inlaid chopsticks, and put a piece of rouge cake on the plate and handed it to her. Shuheng took it with a smile, she leaned forward slightly to bite the cake, but she couldn't help but pay attention to her demeanor, trying to imagine what she would look like eating. Wouldn't it be unsightly? Xiao Yan was looking at her gently—Shu Heng could understand Shen Zangxiang's anxiety a little.

Seeing that the sages and thoughts are what those who pursue should do, but Shuheng still can't resist the impulse of looking up to the mountains - looking up, and then stopping. The exchanges between Dingguo Mansion and Fuguo Mansion are increasing, and Shuheng often comes here to visit this little lady, but every time he will be bound and his shoulders heavy. It's like sitting next to a skinny man who chews slowly and only eats one bowl of rice, making him embarrassed to eat two bowls of rice.

After thinking about it, Shu Heng smiled and said, "What game does Madame play on weekdays?" Twin Continents? Liubo? Leaf play? ”

"Shooting?"

This is not a surprise. Shuheng tried to clean his mouth with a handkerchief: "I like swinging." I used to play with Princess Jing'an, but then I went to Jiangnan, and when I came back, she got married again, so we never played together. The fourth young lady likes to plant flowers, and she has cultivated two buds of mandarin ducks before. ”

Xiao Yan smiled lightly: "This game is boring, there are not many people who like to play it." My daughter-in-law is even more boring when she plays with her mother-in-law, and they can't win against me, so I hardly touch the flower pot now, and at most put up the flag by myself. Well, sometimes I also ask Zangxiang to accompany her, but she is pitiful, and at the end of the day, her white lips are dry, so I don't call her anymore. ”——

So Shen Zangxiang thought about it more, she thought that her chess skills were not treated by her mother-in-law after all.

Communication is a big problem. Everyone has made it clear, will it be okay soon?

Shu Heng smiled: "Sister Shen is amazing, she can hold out for a while, if it were me, I was afraid that I would directly raise my hand and surrender." ”

Xiao Yan looked at her with some surprise: "The county lord's chess skills have been personally instructed by Lin Ruoxu, and he is even more influenced by the Duke of Dingguo, where is it so bad." You are too modest. ”

Shu Heng smiled: "It's not that I'm too poor in chess, it's that I can't help but raise my hand and surrender when I see my wife." You are like the skyscraper pine in the middle of the yard, people can't help but be impressed when they see it, and they lose a few percent in momentum, and no matter how hard they try, they are just struggling. The others, such as the elegant beauty pine and the chic podocarpus, can only stand aside. ”

"As soon as I entered the house, I noticed that the design of your house was very different. Rigidity and softness, yin and yang harmony, five elements and gossip, the north side of the water is called the underworld, the south side of Mount Tai ancient wood is called Tsubaki, and it has won the artistic conception of Zhuang Sheng's leisure. ”

Mrs. Xiao Yan's face was much soothed, and no matter when and where her proud work was mentioned by anyone, she would have an unexpected sense of satisfaction.

Shu Heng took a sip of tea with a smile and continued: "Ah Heng suddenly thought that there is a story in Zhuang Sheng's miscellaneous chapters, someone learned the Tao, at the beginning of learning the Tao, Xiao Er was respectful, and the guests gave up their seats. Madame is so knowledgeable that she must know the mysteries. ”

"And its light and its dust, wandering between heaven and earth, among all things."

"That's right."

It's a pity that the place where Madame went, the wind was tight and frosty, and where she was, the people's hearts were awe-inspiring, think of those servants who mechanically listened to the command, and then think about your trembling daughter-in-law, Madame was still at the beginning of the Tao, far away from the "battle".

Xiao Yan was an extremely smart person, and he heard something else from the superficial flattery, so he stopped speaking at the moment.

Shu Heng smiled, stood with his sleeves folded, and gave a slight salute: "The child is ignorant and speaks falsely, so don't blame Madame." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and asked Shuheng to sit down.

"We, the juniors, all regard our ladies as models and models, and we can't wait for every move, and the curvature of the corners of our mouths is measured accurately. Take people as a mirror to know the gains and losses, and Mrs. is like that mirror. Shuheng's eyes were sincere, and his tone was well-behaved: "We will unconsciously treat Mrs. as a strict teacher, and we will not dare to relax for a moment." ”

"When I'm at home, I like to read crookedly, but I dare to do it in front of my father, and I don't dare to say it in front of my wife, even if I relax my back." Shu Heng looked at Mrs. Xiao Yan, the line of her back, the curvature of her neck, the height of her jaw, and the distance between her steps when she walked—textbook elegance and nobility. It seems that the template on the production line is exactly the same, but it is still the handwriting of German workers.

Shuheng is sure that the people in the Fuguo Mansion are not easy. Because this mansion is really quiet, no matter when she built it, the sound of banter, play, and laughter cannot be heard, and it is quieter than the sparsely populated Dingguo Mansion. Although Mrs. Yan prefers tranquility, it is really not normal for a mansion full of young people and children to be so quiet. But Mrs. Yan didn't notice it, and she didn't feel uncomfortable.

Communicating with smart people is a very effortless thing. Shuheng really couldn't bear to be sensitive and thoughtful, Shen Zangxiang lived under inexplicable pressure, so he had a "cordial and friendly" exchange with Mrs. Yan unintentionally and openly.

Mrs. Yan, who has a high and cold attribute, actually doesn't know much about her daughter-in-law's knots. It's one thing to be respectful, but it's another thing to understand. But after all, she had no intention of making things difficult for her daughter-in-law, and after thinking about it for a while, she found that her daughter-in-law seemed to have fewer words, fewer smiles, and even less tea and rice in front of her, so she made some changes easily and freely.

On a certain day in a certain month, Shen Zangxiang asked for peace, cloth vegetables, and served his mother-in-law for dinner. Where the height of the sleeve is pulled, how the little thumb should be cocked, where the handkerchief should be placed, pay special attention to the slightest, and carefully serve the meal, she suddenly looked up, and suddenly the mother-in-law smiled at herself.

This laugh made Shen Zangxiang shocked for a long time, and as a daughter-in-law who actively won the favor of her mother-in-law instead of only knowing how to escape, she regained her spirits. Finally, when the father-in-law celebrated his birthday, a table of lily of the valley banquet was awarded verbally by his mother-in-law, which was the first time he had married into the Fuguo Mansion - Shenzang's fragrant face was as white as frost and snow on the spot.

This relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is more accurately described, which is somewhat similar to a rookie who has just entered the workplace and met an extremely shrewd and capable boss.

The high standards and strict requirements of being a housewife are well known, and more importantly, in order to solve a matter, you think about a good method after a night, but it is easily done by someone waving your hand in a stick of incense, and the gap in ability is simply unbearable. It's a blessing to be praised by her, not to mention that this person is still a mother-in-law. For a while, even the eyes of the three concubines looking at Shen Zangxiang changed.

Shen Zangxiang became more and more diligent and hardworking, and finally dared to open her mouth and secretly ask Xianggong, a man who had slept for a long time but didn't seem to be close to his heart at all, and the relationship between the husband and wife seemed to be much closer.

Girls, especially those with a weak and introverted personality, can't be too strict, otherwise she will be more and more afraid of getting worse and worse, and encouragement and affirmation are very important for them. After forcing herself to adapt to the cold and arrogant and noble life mode of the Fuguo Mansion, Shen Zangxiang finally found some fun and a sense of accomplishment. People are also getting more and more energetic. In this case, Shuheng naturally likes to hear about it.

When she finally gave birth to Mrs. Yan's eldest grandson in June of the following year, not only Shen Zangxiang herself, but also the Shen Mansion from the elder to the maid were all relieved.

"A basket of red eggs, eight against sixteen." Shu Heng counted it over and over again: "I'm happy to open the door, Sister Shen is so interested, she still dyed this egg herself, but she was willing to do it, but I was afraid that I would catch her several boxes of rouge." ”

Tangerine also smiled: "This is called being happy," red eggs, full of skewers, eat your happy buns this year, and eat your red eggs next year." Miss should charge more of this red egg. How much bitter medicine did our wife drink for Brother Tim? You save a little more blessings. I just wrapped the ruler and the gold bill. The champion and the first, the peony Ruyi, the three-star gathering, the five blessings and the good news, are not simple, right? ”

Shu Heng nodded again and again: "Naturally, it seems that there are more than Sister Shuyue's at the beginning?" ”

"Naturally, there are more, the young lady of the Fuguo Mansion is different after all, but our lady must have secretly stuffed red envelopes at the beginning, this young lady doesn't have to worry, her own family is her own family."

Shuheng asked Peach to open the cabinet again, first took out a pair of golden pigs and then a pair of goldfish, thought about it and added a Fu Lu Shou Ruyi card and a topaz inkstone and a pen of Songhe Zhai, and put it together in the cinnamon branch vanilla blue, and cut the ribbon with his own hands and tied a velvet flower up: "Send it to the fourth uncle, Your Majesty Xià This time in order to celebrate the ten years of peace and war in Beirong in Great Xia, Brother Shan's results in the autumn are very good, and he is also a person, I originally planned to solemnly congratulate the results of the spring festival, but who knew that he did not participate." Whatever the reason, there is still a need to make a statement. ”

"That's too much, isn't it?" Honey gagged unhappily, she still hated the matter of Lian's second sister-in-law.

Shuheng said: "In the future, Shushan will interact with people who can write and write well, and they can't be ugly in the eyes of experts, and the four treasures of the high-grade study are a must." ”

Peach gently twisted the honey: "Our young lady doesn't mind, what kind of heart are you?" She is an old man who only holds things generously, and she is not afraid of losing money and can't say it, so don't talk about it. ”

Shu Heng was happy: "Good girl, even I made fun of it." ”

Peach raised her hand in surrender: "Don't dare, don't dare, if you want to scatter your wealth, you also have Jinshan to move over, I'll say it in vain, you will be used to me being stingy, and I will have a seizure." ”

Everyone in the room laughed at the words. Shuheng finally took a sip of tea to soothe his twitching stomach: "Wang Haoyu's Chunqiu record is quite good, although it is not as good as his amazing and brilliant uncle, but it is not easy, enough to make most of the scholars who are poor and have a good head envy and hatred, what do you say I should give?" Come to the "Diamond Sutra" to shame him? ”

"Aren't you begging for a beating? Be careful, Miss Dong runs to the door again to pinch your face. "Peach unceremoniously took out a Yellow River Chengni inkstone, a cinnamon incense pine smoke ink wrapped up, and added a jade bone Sima Fei inscription poem fan, and the book he read raised his eyebrows." This is a proper gift. ”

Shuheng turned around and drank tea stupidly.

Yes, you can't bear it.
