Chapter 18: Motherhood and Filial Son
The two came to the upper room, where Mrs. Shi was waiting. As soon as they met, they affectionately pulled Shi Lingfeng to look left and right, saying that he had lost weight, and asked him about the daily life outside, and told him to eat and so on, looking like a loving mother. Shi Lingfeng is not far behind, shouting "mother" one by one, with a docile smile on his face.
Ning Yun was also stained with him today, and Mrs. Shi exempted her from the rules and let her sit down to eat together, leaving only the three aunts to serve by her side. Ning Yun didn't shirk either, and after thanking her, she sat down next to Shi Lingfeng with peace of mind.
Today, Shi Guogong Shi Rongyuan is at home, sitting upright, and there are several young masters and young ladies sitting below.
Among them, except for Shi Linghuan, who still said that he was not sick, the others were all here.
The third young master Shi Shi Lingyan. In his early tens, he was born to Aunt Wu. The figure is thin and thin, the appearance is average, the eyes are blank, the movements are sluggish, and there is no sense of zĂ i when sitting there.
Second Miss Shi Lingshu. He was born to an aunt, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, and a peaceful and self-contained character. I heard that when it is the age to say goodbye, there are a few families who come to propose marriage, but they have not yet decided on a candidate. I don't know what Mrs. Shi will do with this concubine.
The third lady, Shi Lingfang, is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Shi. It's less than ten years old.,The appearance is okay.,It's just that the eyes are arrogant.,It's a rampant on weekdays.,I like to bully a few sisters who are out of the house.ă
The fourth lady, Shi Lingshuang, was born to Aunt Wu. is only five years old, although this age is the time to be spoiled, but there is a hint of timidity in his eyes from time to time.
Ning Yun and them have also met a few times in the upper room, so they are not considered alive. It's that Shi Linghuan, Ning Yun hasn't seen him yet. I only heard that my health is not very good, and I only study in the yard and rarely go out.
Master Shi asked some official trivia with a smile on his face, and Shi Lingfeng replied with a smile.
When the meal was ready, Mrs. Shi and Master Shi were served by the three aunts and sat down. This is also the first time Ning Yun has seen the rumored third aunt. Big eyes, high nose bridge, a pink embroidered gown, holding a fallen horse bun, a standard big beauty, no wonder Master Shi's favorite. Perhaps because there are so many people today, this third aunt looks gentle and lovely, respectfully accepting gifts, but she is not as pampered and proud as rumored.
The food is silent, and the meal is quite peaceful. Ning Yun on the table was elegant and polite, and she couldn't find the slightest mistake, not at all as the outside world said, but Shi Lingfeng took a few more looks.
Ning Yun would occasionally raise her head generously and study the spark hidden between Mrs. Shi and Shi Lingfeng's eyes. These two people are both acting schools. One plays the role of a loving mother, and the other plays the role of a filial son. None of them are left behind.
After the meal, the maids rushed in, removed all the leftovers on the table, waited for everyone to rinse their mouths, and finally brought in a few plates of small snacks to eliminate food. Shi Rongyuan smiled and asked Shi Lingfeng a few words, and everyone started chatting. Although Ning Yun has no appetite, she is too lazy to talk and socialize. I randomly pinched a small piece of hawthorn soft cake to cover myself, ready to reduce my sense of storage as much as possible, so as to continue to be alone.
But someone made trouble and didn't let her get her wish.
Shi Lingfeng picked up a bowl of brown sugar steamed cheese, pushed it to Ning Yun's hand, and said very gently: "Hawthorn is the most cold, so it's better to eat less." It's still good to be like this, nourish blood and nourish people. Do you taste it? Mrs. is still too thin now, and she will raise her earlier, so that she can add children and grandchildren to the Shi family as soon as possible. Mother said, isn't it? Catch up with Ming'er, and then send someone to pick up a few fat black chickens from our village and come back to stew soup for you. â
Mrs. Shi's eyes narrowed into a slit, but she couldn't block the exposed light, but her mouth responded: "Yes." Feng'er said that she was too thin. If such a thin body is conceived, it must be inappropriate. It's still the most important thing about the body, don't be in a hurry in this year and a half! After speaking, he gave Ning Yun a look, but unfortunately the other party kept his head down and didn't give her a chance to make eye contact at all.
Although Ning Yun didn't look up, she could already feel Mrs. Shi's warning gaze. She figured it out, it turned out that this was Shi Lingfeng's purpose! Knowing what Mrs. Shi was afraid of, she wanted to say it to make her uncomfortable, not only that, but she also pulled herself into the water. The better he treats her, the longer Mrs. Shi's hand will stretch out to her.
This is clearly trying to harm her!
Hum! Sooner or later, let him know that he is not so easy to bully.
Someone else spoke: "The eldest brother is really good to the sister-in-law." I heard that my brother was disgusted with this new sister-in-law, so he didn't even enter the cave room, but now it seems that this rumor is not accurate. It was Shi Lingfang who spoke. There was some irony in her words, and she looked at Ning Yun's eyes with contempt.
On weekdays, Mrs. Shi dotes on this young girl very much, but this time she put on a straight face and taught her a lesson: A girl's family, what kind of 'cave house' is not ashamed. â
Shi Lingfang pursed her lips and went to eat snacks.
Shi Lingfeng still smiled for thousands of years, and took over the conversation and said, "Second sister is afraid that she has misunderstood." The mother carefully chooses the person, how can the son not like it? This sister-in-law of yours, I like it very much. Last time, I left the house in a hurry, it was always my fault, this time, I specially took a long vacation, ready to accompany your sister-in-law! The words 'carefully selected' were accented by him, and Mrs. Shi's face was almost a little unbearable.
Everyone knows that Bai Xiaochu was married by Mrs. Shi because of an "accident" in the Shi family. What kind of careful selection is this?
Ning Yun watched the mother and son play around her, and sneered in her heart:
One is stupid, narrow-minded and brainless, the other is pretending to be scheming, and there is no good thing!
****
As soon as everyone left, Mrs. Shi immediately put away her smile and pulled down her face:
"Master, did you hear that? I still want to grow grandchildren in a panic! What if you give birth? It wasn't his turn. When our Huan'er is transparent, we don't hum, and we don't weigh our identity. â
Shi Rongyuan has long been accustomed to his wife's face, although he is thinking about the third aunt's wink before leaving, and is anxious to go to the Diexiang Courtyard to sit, but at this moment, he has to be patient and talk to Mrs. Shi about the Shi family's grandson.
Speaking of this eldest grandson, we have to start with the sturdy old lady of the Shi family.
His eccentric father, the former grandfather of the country, has a tired and dislike temperament for everyone, but he has a thought that hangs on the tip of his heart all day long: that is, he is anxious to hold his grandson! This is something that everyone in history knows.
This old man has a stinky and stubborn temper, but he has a far-reaching influence in the court, and many kinds of old ministers in the court are his close friends, and many of the current important ministers also respect him. Therefore, he is definitely the kind of key person who can decide the choice of the son of the world with his fingers.
Although Shi Rongyuan is a son-in-law, he is the son who has been compared to his brother since he was a child and is very unfavored. Although his brother was not there, he was given a knighthood, but this does not mean that he can pass on this position to his own son. The adopted son brought by the old man is their biggest resistance.
For Shi Lingfeng, they didn't dare to disobey the old man's wishes, so they could only be raised as sisters-in-law, which was the status quo that could not be changed. But as for the eldest grandson, they can work hard.
Shi family's room is no successor. The second room of the Shi family is a concubine, although its eldest son Shi Linghua is a few years older than Shi Lingfeng, but he has given birth to three children in a row and is a daughter, and now he is also full of energy to give birth to a child with a handle, so as to please the old man. For the second room, Mrs. Shi is not worried. Because after all, it is a concubine, even if it is to give birth to a son, the weight is not as heavy as that of a descendant.
But Shi Lingfeng, the head of his own family, is a greater threat to himself. After all, it was brought back by the old man himself, and it cannot be taken lightly.
Therefore, while the second elder is not in the capital at present, the third room has to be tightened. The top priority is to hurry up and find a family affair for Shi Linghuan!
Master Shi was also concerned about this, thought for a moment, and said, "In my opinion, it is better to choose the five girls of the Sun family." Doesn't that mean what their family means? How can you say that the Sun family is still your mother's family, although the family background is lower than ours, but after all, they know the roots, they also know the situation of Huan'er, and they will not complain about us in the future. â
Mrs. Shi was immediately unhappy. gave Wu's mother a look, and Wu's mother immediately led the maid in the house out.
As soon as the door closed, the couple talked about the marriage of their only precious son.
