Chapter 13: Mother-in-law's Conspiracy

"I heard people reply, saying that Brother Feng will come back in a few days?" Mrs. Shi looked at Ning Yun and smiled, looking harmless.

Ning Yun nodded and waited for the following.

"That ......" Mrs. Shi lowered her head to drink tea, the expression on her face was not real, and the latter words rolled with the tea several times in her mouth before she spit it out:

"You promised me before you entered the Shi family, do you remember?"

According to what she thought in her heart, Bai Xiaochu would not only dress up and become superior, but her temperament would never change, and even if she changed, she would never have the courage to face herself. She asked like this, which can be regarded as a temptation.

Ning Yun was interested.

Listening to Mrs. Shi's words, could it be that she still had a deal with Bai Xiaochu, who was the first? What deal can a mother-in-law and a new daughter-in-law make?! What a surprise!

Her face was still calm as usual, she thought and thought in her head, and finally only lowered her head, pretending to be respectful: "Mother's orders, how can a daughter-in-law not do it." Presumably, the mother is also thoughtful, for the good of her daughter-in-law. ”

Ning Yun is very smart, because no matter what kind of transaction is between them, it will not be wrong to say so.

Mrs. Shi raised her head and finally showed a relieved smile. A pair of eyes are extremely shrewd, and at this time they are slightly bent, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are looming under the fat powder.

"I knew that you were a smart one, and the gap between Shi Bai's two families, I guess you also knew very well. At that time, if I hadn't let go of my desire to marry you, the Shi family would never have married a daughter-in-law like you. Even if that happens, it's the same. Ancestor, I had a hard time. What do you think I'm for, it's not that you are a person who can be dialed, and I pity you for your innocence, which is what you and Feng'er are all about. ”

Mrs. Shi sat back and said, "In the future, as long as you are honest and don't do anything disobedient, you will always be the eldest daughter-in-law of my Shi family, and no one will dare to underestimate you." Whatever you want, you won't be missing. ”

Rao is Ning Yun is calm, and she can't help but laugh in her heart at this moment: which one is she herself? The tone is the same as that of a nobleman who bestows grace on his servants. In vain, she was born in the Guogong Mansion, so she learned such an upbringing. She didn't look down on Bai Xiaochu's IQ again, so she would say such a thing! Do you think everyone else is stupid? It's a joke.

Ning Yun hooked the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, just waiting for Mrs. Shi's later text like watching a play.

I saw her take off the gilded jade bracelet from her wrist, push it in front of Ning Yun's eyes, and said, "I know you like this, take it." There are a lot of good things in the Shi family, which one you like in the future, just tell me, I love you. ”

It's first coercion, then inducement. This trick is really low enough, in Ning Yun's opinion, this is no different from coaxing children. I just don't know, she tricked Miss Bai into what to exchange for this marriage? Since it is related to her husband, is it ...... Heir?!

Sure enough, Mrs. Shi's later words quickly verified Ning Yun's conjecture.

"You don't have to be disappointed either. You and Feng'er are still young now, and it doesn't matter if you delay the heirs for a few years. Moreover, men are unreliable. You are still the new daughter-in-law, and you can still hold the hearts of men. But once you get pregnant, you can't say for sure. Ten months pregnant, even if you stop him from taking a concubine, can you still prevent him from going out to mess with flowers? Either way, in the end, we don't have to swallow our anger and bring it in?! I'm from here, and I know best. ”

After speaking, Mrs. Shi sighed lowly, looking bitter: "Don't worry, the Tian Pozi I gave you is from the palace." I'm the best at mixing the decoction of the avoidant, and it will never damage your body. Before Huan'er gave birth to an heir, as long as you don't miss this potion, I will definitely not be able to treat you badly. When Huan'er gave birth to a son, Mama Tian came back. At that time, you and Feng'er have been together for a long time, and the relationship will naturally not be as thin as it is now. If you want to have a few more, I won't stop you. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yun didn't even bother to do it with a shameful smile in her heart: This Mrs. Shi is so shameless and inferior. No wonder I gave such an old mother to myself, I wanted to plan the heirs of my eldest son! But why did she plan like this? For the sake of the knighthood? But although Shi Linghuan is a second son in name, he is a real son-in-law, and Shi Lingfeng, if he is the eldest son, it will be fine. But he is an adopted son, although he is nominally hanging under the knees of the master's mother, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that with a son-in-law, he is not qualified to take the title.

There must be something behind this that she doesn't know, otherwise, how could a dignified duchess have the guts to take such a big risk?!

Mrs. Shi took a sip of tea and continued: "Although Feng'er is not a person who is overwhelmed by this, you have to guard against the two maids who serve him closely in his study. As soon as there was a situation, she asked Mama Tian to prepare a child soup for them. Don't take it lightly. Huan'er's family affairs are also eyebrow-raising, and there will probably be a ceremony this fall. When he has an heir, everything will be easy to say. ”

After a pause, Mrs. Shi changed the conversation again and straightened her face: "You don't want to play any tricks." You know, if I can let the Shi family marry you, I can also kick you out. Asking Brother Feng to write a letter of resignation is just a matter of my words. I think you're a smart one, you don't need me to think about it! ”

She thought that when these threatening words came out, Bai Xiaochu should have been frightened, and quickly knelt down to give herself a promise or make a poisonous oath or something.

But Bai Xiaochu's reaction was completely unexpected by her.

"Mother's words are very true." Ning Yun didn't understand the threat in Mrs. Shi's words at all, raised her head, with a very decent smile on her face, and even pinched a candied fruit very casually and put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully: "Mother, the candied fruit here tastes very good, it is better to let the mother-in-law who sent the cloth give some to the daughter-in-law, and I can also let the second master taste it." ”

The words are extremely natural.

How can this still look like a person who is being coerced and coerced by his mother-in-law?!

She shouldn't be a little low, just a promise, right?! Still asking yourself for candied fruit, and still have the heart to eat candied fruit?!

Mrs. Shi choked in her throat and almost didn't spit it out. I was very depressed when I saw her like this, but I couldn't say anything. This is the second time since the last retirement.

Mrs. Shi always felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't find the reason? Moreover, this hesitation was soon overturned by her own "self-righteous arrogance": just her? Dare to mess with yourself? Then Shi Lingfeng can't get into her bed, so let's talk about it! Let's see if she still has the heart to ask herself for candied fruit at that time.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shi felt a little better in her heart.

After Ning Yun left, Mrs. Shi called Wu's mother in, closed the door and said for a while. Mother Wu is a suspicious person, so she immediately sent someone to Moxiang Courtyard to keep an eye on it, and she couldn't miss her every move. Mrs. Shi thought about it and was prepared, so she agreed.

didn't think about it, the little maid in charge of stalking had been gone for less than half a day, so she ran back in a hurry to report the news:

"Second Grandma Feng called a carriage and went out of the house!"

That's right, Ning Yun is going out of the house, and she took a heavy money bag and went shopping.

I was just "coerced" by my mother-in-law in the first half of the day, and I went shopping in the second half of the day. This kind of interest is afraid that only Ning Yun has it.

In the past in the Ning family, Ning Yun had very few opportunities to go out. Now that she is a wife, it is different, so Ning Yun is very interested.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, married women were allowed to enter shops. It's just that you can't enter through the main entrance, but you can take a sedan chair and turn directly into the inner room from the back door. There were all men stopped, and the guests were greeted by the hostess or other women. Although the noblewomen of the noble family are more likely to wait at home, asking the shop owner to take various samples to "come to the door", there are still some who occasionally go out and enjoy the fun of "hanging out".

Ning Yun is one of them, and she enjoys it. She decided not to think about whether this was "noble and dignified" enough, and she didn't think about whether it was in line with everyone's beautiful style, she just wanted to do it. She was really fed up with those rules and regulations before, but now that she has changed her body, she has decided not to wronged herself anymore.

Especially after a heart-to-heart conversation with "Mrs. Shi", this idea is especially strong. It would be great if you could be happy and happy at the same time, and then turn the enemy's anger on his back.

Therefore, after returning from the upper room, she asked Caiyue to prepare the silver and called the carriage with "great fanfare". Not only that, but she is also going to go through the rouge shop, jade jewelry shop, silk village, etc., one by one.

Since someone has to stare at her every inch, she is willing to accompany her to the end, because it is when there is no shortage of money at hand.

The cash silver left by Bai Xiaochu is very considerable. According to Ning Yun's understanding, some of this money was saved by Bai Xiaochu over the years, and some of it was sold in exchange for the fields and shops in the dowry. Counting up, there are still many of them left for her by Ning Yun's mother back then. It's a pity that the fields and shops with good returns that his mother gave Bai Xiaochu as a dowry back then are now very little.

From this point of view, Bai Xiaochu can be regarded as a money fan, and he is a money fan who only knows how to guard cash and lacks foresight.

If Ning Yun wants to live as Bai Xiaochu, she must pay more attention to Liangtian Wangpu or some other doorways to get money, otherwise, sooner or later, there will be a day when you will sit and eat empty.

Coming out of the last silk village, Ning Yun's carriage was already stuffed with "trophies", in addition, she ordered three pairs of heads in two jewelry shops, one white jade, one green jade, and one jade beaded. In addition, several sets of dresses were made. Compared with the outfits of other noble ladies, these clothes are somewhat "unique", with no gold threads and silver threads, no bright colors and craftsmanship, they are all light and light colors, and they look very plain.

While counting the few broken pieces of silver left in the money bag, Caiyue couldn't help but mutter: "Why doesn't the young grandmother pick some bright ones?" In the past few days before the second master came back, the slave maid chose a few more materials to make two Chinese clothes for the young grandmother, and the slave and maid looked at the ones given by Mrs. Shi today, and the color was bright and festive. The second master will be happy to see it when he comes back. ”

Ning Yun was eating the glutinous rice cake she had just bought, but when she heard this, she choked in her throat.

"Ahem! The middle coat is more clean, and it is worn horizontally and vertically. ”

She has long been accustomed to Caiyue's straightforward "bitter heart", but it is the first time that Shi Lingfeng has been involved. Thinking of the "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple" shirts at the bottom of the box, Ning Yun secretly thought: It won't all be made by this girl! She was really heartbroken for Bai Xiaochu, and she even thought of such a stupid trick to hook up with a man.

Caiyue didn't blush and be ashamed, and while giving Ning Yun a good breath, she babbled and persuaded like an old mother: "Young grandma, there aren't many times when the second master comes back." Those people just waited to see our jokes, and we didn't let them get their wish. The young grandmother is now a flower-like person, and no matter how much embellishment she wears, who can compare? How can the second master not like Li'er! "Caiyue secretly made up her mind, and when she went back, she would pick up the materials, huh! That pink and tender thin silk is the most suitable for making a close-fitting underwear.

Ning Yun choked even more.

Such a straightforward and loyal girl, it's really ...... Jade hairpin's delicate and steady, she can't compare, but it is rare to be loyal, although she is always inconsiderate in speaking and doing things, but she is always a good one.

The carriage swayed back, and after a long while, it only marched from the end of the street to the middle of the most lively section of Xiyan Street. It was crowded here, and Caiyue was afraid of making noise to the master, so she got up to put down the window panel.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Ning Yun suddenly stopped it.

"Wait, the carriage stops."

Caiyue stopped, followed the master's gaze, and saw a shop on the side of the street at a glance.

This shop is different from others, although the decoration is not gorgeous, but it is expensive. The three-storey store has a unified style and is very elegant, which has a unique charm compared with the gorgeous and luxurious store next to it.

On the door, there are three handsome characters written in black pen and ink: Luoyingzhai.
