There has been something wrong with the atmosphere of the historian recently, and there is a sense of urgency from top to bottom to prepare for the enemy.

Because the four-room house moved back to the Shi family's mansion, the population of the Shi family has also increased, and it should have been more lively, but Ning Yun saw a solemn and quiet appearance everywhere she went. The master above stiffened his face and was uncomfortable, and the maids below didn't dare to laugh, they all did things with trepidation, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.

What's going on? Isn't it just that the old ancestor is coming back, is it worth such a big battle? I don't know outside, I thought the historian was going to be raided!

Ning Yun scooped a spoonful of rice wine lotus seed stuffed into her mouth, and nodded: "Hmm." Even the people on this stove are much more attentive than before. Not to mention the lotus seeds in this soup, the bitterness is also gone, and the taste is much more delicious than before. I've got the light of my ancestors. Putting down the spoon, Ning Yun instructed Caiyue: "Quick, go to the front dining room and ask for more, and you can also divide a few bowls to taste, the taste is excellent."

Caiyue thanked the master for the reward and led a few little girls to go. Yuchai and Cui's mother were left in the room.

Cui's mother is someone who has seen a big battle, needless to say. However, Yuchai has always been cautious and steady, and in the past few days, under the influence of other people in the house, he has also become nervous. Every day, she got up early and rested late, and took the maid under her head to clean up the yard inside and out, and hung it outside, and stored it in the warehouse, everything was seen by her, but everything that was a little out of line with the rules was rearranged by her. There are also the little maids in the yard, Yuchai has to teach a few words every day, lazy, chewing the root of the tongue, etc., have been seriously reprimanded by her, for a while, in the Moxiang Courtyard, there is no longer a hard worker.

Yuchai went out to work again, Cui's mother lit a stick of incense for Ning Yun, and said to Ning Yun with a smile: "Slave maid has been looking at it these days, this family is in a panic, and the second young grandmother is the calmest." Although I have never seen her old man, just listening to some of her deeds in the early years makes me feel uneasy. Isn't the second young grandmother afraid? ”

Cui's mother asked frankly.

Ning Yun pinched a sugar-pickled fruit and put it in her mouth, and the sour fruit was moistened on the tip of her tongue with sugar water, which was very refreshing.

"Mother Cui has also heard of it? Let's hear it. ”

"Slaves and maids are also hearsay, not necessarily true. But looking at the current situation in this house, it must be * not far from ten. ”

Cui's mother carefully closed the door of the upper room, and then spoke slowly.

"The second young grandmother must already know that this old lady of the Shi family has a lot to do with the clan. According to the generation, she is the cousin of the former emperor, and this King Jing and Princess Jing still call the old lady an aunt! That's why, even I, the slave and maid of the palace, have heard of Mrs. Shi. I also heard it from Princess Jing. ”

"Listening to this old lady's temperament, she is very much like her mother, that is, the former eldest princess. The eldest princess, but a straightforward and insightful, although and Emperor Xiaoyong (the emperor's grandfather) is not born to the same mother, but quite respected by Emperor Xiaoyong, I heard that when Emperor Xiaoyong was in power, he often consulted the eldest princess when he encountered conflicts and disputes between the clans, and praised her for "being strict with herself, acting decisively, and not losing to men", which can be seen. As the daughter of the eldest princess, although Mrs. Shi is not long, she is the treasure of the eldest princess, all because Mrs. Shi's temperament is very much like a princess. ”

Ning Yun pondered these words for a while, and then said: "In this way, Mrs. Shi shouldn't be as ...... as the rest of the Shi family described" Ning Yun couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a while, and wanted to say "terrifying" but couldn't say it.

Cui's mother understood, pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "Human nature is the strangest thing." Some people say it's good, but there are always other people who shout bad. The slave and maid are not good at judging presumptuously, so they only dare to pick up a few things and tell them to the second young grandmother. ”

Ning Yun nodded, and listened to Cui's mother tell an old story about the Shi family.

"It's not a secret that this matter, it's just that the second young grandmother is young, so she may not have heard of it yet. Many years ago, when this old lady Shi married into the Shi family, there was a beautiful concubine in the old Shi country's mansion. ”

Seeing Ning Yun raise her eyebrows, Cui's mother nodded, "That's right, when Shi Laoguo was young, he was a romantic man who was obsessed with women, and his wife was set, but before he got married, he begged his mother to set up a beautiful concubine for him." His mother was also a fool, and she was spoiled as a treasure, and when her son asked, she agreed. I thought that it was just a cheap concubine, as long as I covered it externally, and looked at it internally, and didn't let the eldest son come out, it would not be a big deal. But after all, there will be a day when the paper can't contain the fire, and after the princess's mansion knows about it, she doesn't follow it and says that she wants to withdraw from her family. Shi Gongfu was the first to lose, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to ask for the bride price. Originally, this retreat was a foregone conclusion, but who thought about it, but in the end, it turned around. ”

"What's wrong? The Prodigal Son Turned Back? Ning Yun was interested.

Cui's mother smiled and said: "If it is really the story of the prodigal son, it is not worth being a slave and maid, I will break my mouth in front of the second young grandmother for half a day." Isn't the protagonist of what the slave wants to talk about Mrs. Shi? ”

"Is that Mrs. Shi unwilling to withdraw from the marriage?"

Mother Cui nodded appreciatively and said, "In the end, it was Mrs. Shi who spoke." She said to her family, 'The reason that person is such a fool is because he hasn't met me yet, and even if it's very wrong, I'll spare her five points.' The remaining five points, when I get married, I can naturally break it for him. So this marriage, she will not retreat! Her mother advised her, and she said, 'If he marries and he is still such a bastard, it is my own incompetence, and I don't blame anyone else.' I don't believe I'm such an incompetent person! In one sentence, all the voices of opposition were blocked. Facts have proved that in the end, Mrs. Shi does have this ability, and after marrying, within three years, in the eyes of the old man, he can no longer tolerate anyone else. Not only that, but the old prince also went into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, even the former emperor was praised again and again as a "good son", how can there be the shadow of the gentleman back then! ”

When Ning Yun heard this, she also praised Old Madam Shi in her heart: "What about that beautiful concubine?"

"That's the second thing the slave has to say." Cui's mother continued: "Before Mrs. Shi entered the door, that beautiful concubine still knew how to take proportions and didn't make any trouble. But as soon as Mrs. Shi entered the door, the beautiful concubine began to be pampered and arrogant, and from time to time she challenged the authority of the main room. At that time, Shi Laoguo had not turned the corner, but he spoiled the concubine and left his original wife aside. Mrs. Shi is a decent person, let her compete for favor, and she is not in a hurry. In her original words, it means 'a cheap concubine, and it is also worth her to be a serious daughter from the princess's mansion?' Joke! Enough for her to fend for herself. ’”

The old lady said this for less than half a year, and sure enough, it was true. The concubine made trouble herself. Before the main mother was pregnant, the concubine was pregnant first, and it was only when she was pregnant that the news was revealed. Not only that, but after seeing the doctor, he also said that now the fetus has been formed, and the concubine's body is too weak, if she forcibly falls down, she is afraid that one corpse will kill her. When Shi Laoguo heard this, he naturally didn't follow it, and begged his mother. At that time, the old lady couldn't stand her son's begging, and she didn't want to make trouble, so she had to compromise with her daughter-in-law, saying that after the child was born, whether it was a man or a woman, it would be passed under her knees and raised as a parent. ”

Ning Yun took a sip of tea and interjected: "I guess, Mrs. Shi must have been disobedient back then." The 'non-conformity' item is enough to block back. ”

"Isn't it? Mrs. Shi also added a sentence after 'unruly': If someone deliberately blames us, looks at our mistakes, and says that our Shi family spoils concubines and kills wives, and the family style is not right, can you bear this responsibility? One sentence blocked back the mother-in-law's words. The concubine is also smart, thinking that when she is a month old, she can fool the past and give birth to the child, but as everyone knows, as long as the main room does not let go, she is asking for the king of heaven and Laozi, and it is also in vain. She thought that the main room would finally relax because she didn't dare to offend her husband and mother-in-law, but she didn't know that Mrs. Shi was that ruthless, and she was not afraid of people saying that she was ruthless. In the end, a dose of decoction was poured down, and it was really two deaths. ”。
