Chapter 9: Greetings to my mother-in-law

Ning Yun picked out a white jade hairpin with hollow branches today, and found a pair of light green flower-shaped beaded earrings, which is popular among noblewomen in this era to wear gold jewelry, but Ning Yun doesn't like it. In the past, as long as she didn't go out, she was dressed in plain clothes, and at most a few jade ornaments were added.

She chose a double-disc cloud-shaped thousand-water skirt embroidered with moon white from Bai Xiaochu's bunch of colorful and colorful dresses. The skirt and cuffs are embroidered with a few pale red flowers of the Four Happiness Groups. In this way, it does not lose its elegance, but also does not lose the joy of the new daughter-in-law.

There is nothing wrong with wearing this to meet the "mother-in-law".

She didn't want to stay in the house all day long to avoid trouble, since she had become Bai Xiaochu, since God didn't let her enter the palace, then she wanted to live a good life. Don't rely on anyone, just yourself, and live a good life. Therefore, the first thing to do is to meet the "benefactor" of this body for a while-Shi Sun. It was thanks to her that Bai Xiaochu was able to marry in, wasn't it?

She should never be a person who accepts fate and surrenders, and the "stubbornness" of her predecessor Ning Yun, who was suppressed by the family, was condensed in her blood again after changing her identity.

No matter how bad the situation left by this predecessor was, she would never let the Shi family bully!

After dressing up, Yuchai just opened the curtain and came in, and replied, "Young grandma, Madame is awake." Madame's Ruixiang courtyard is far away from us, the slave and maid are about to go, you go out now, and when you get there, you will probably have to set up a meal. Grandpa Guo is not here, and only a few aunts are willing to go to ask for help. In the past few days, the ladies have breakfast in their own rooms, and they will go to greet their wives after dinner, and the young masters will arrange it until after they get off the school before dinner. โ€

Ning Yun nodded with satisfaction: It is worthy of being a maid picked out by her mother, and she is really doing things properly. You only give one of them, and she can consciously consider all the relevant trivial matters, and inquire about them before returning them to the master, so that the master can guess and act. This is what her first-class maid should have.

After packing up, Ning Yun turned her head and added to Yuchai: "Not only are we going, you also bring Xia Tao, Xia Yan and Xia Lan." I would like to thank my mother for her kindness. โ€

These three maids, one first-class and two third-class, were all brought over by Fan's mother that day.

Although there are not many people who can use it in Moxiang Courtyard now, this does not mean that Ning Yun should accept her mother-in-law's "kindness" for no reason.

Leaving Caiyue, Ning Yun walked out of Moxiang Courtyard, led the way by Yuchai, crossed a sandwich road to the east, and walked south for a while before arriving at Mrs. Shi's Ruixiang Courtyard.

The maids and ladies in Ruixiang Courtyard were all in a trance when they saw Ning Yun's "brand-new" outfit walking in, waiting to be recognized: this is the young grandmother who had to marry the young grandmother who had to enter the door, everyone's eyes were mixed with contempt and disgust, and they had to hide and whisper.

The protagonist Ning Yun, like someone who has nothing to do, walks with a lotus step of standard size, supported by a jade hairpin, and steps into the main courtyard unhurriedly. A light and appropriate outfit makes the whole person more elegant and noble.

The maids and ladies in the upper room of the Shi family are not uncommon to the nobles in Kyoto, but it is the first time they have seen such an unconventional style as in front of them.

They are all like human spirits, and they dare not slack off. Soon two maids came over to greet each other, and another maid who was waiting under the porch raised the curtain high and announced inward: "Grandma Feng is here." โ€

Shi Lingfeng, as the eldest of the third room of the Shi family, is ranked below the eldest son of the second room of the Shi family, so everyone is used to calling the second master, and Bai Xiaochu naturally became the second grandmother of Feng. Now the big house and the second room are not in Beijing, but this title has not changed.

Ning Yun let them help her and entered the upper room of the Shi family.

The time for the first jade hairpin to grasp it is just right. When Ning Yun came in, it was just time for Mrs. Shi's house to set up a meal. Seven or eight daughters-in-law and maids entered, and two or three women, holding boxes of black lacquer, waited outside.

Mrs. Shi was sitting in front of the bronze mirror at this time, letting a few big maids comb her hair and dress her. When she heard the announcement, she knew that someone was coming, so she didn't turn her head, but just turned her face a little, and while checking from the mirror whether the moire dotted dian was crooked, she said casually: "You are not in good health, why bother to come here so early, there is no shortage of you to serve, just raise it in the house." โ€

The tone was cold and sarcastic, but it did not lose the dignity of the elders.

Ning Yun hooked the corners of her mouth: This work is really perfunctory!

is also acting, Ning Yun is much more dedicated. With a mask on his face with a decent smile, he first respectfully greeted him before saying, "It's the daughter-in-law who is not good, so my mother is worried." I should have come to kowtow to my mother a long time ago, but my body was not yet well. I'm afraid that if I come here with illness, it's not good. Now that I've been lying down for a few more days, I'm already getting better, so I'm here, and I hope my mother won't blame me! โ€

The words were very appropriate, but Mrs. Shi was startled, and she turned her head in surprise, and when she saw Ning Yun's outfit today, she was even more curious in her heart: This Bai family, what's wrong with you today? The sun is coming out in the west, when did it become so talkative! In the past, the words were often twisted and vulgar, and they all revealed a small family spirit, but now it seems that he has changed as if he has changed. This outfit is also obviously different, and looking at it like this, it still has a bit of a posture. It's not like before, it's as vulgar as a market woman.

Mrs. Shi's mind was full of thoughts, and another maid outside announced loudly: "Aunties are here." โ€

Ning Yun continued to hang the mask, walked behind Mrs. Shi, and served her to put on a water-green jade bracelet, and when she looked up again, she saw that the curtain was lifted and two women walked in.

The first one is the eldest aunt of the third room of the Shi family, surnamed Cai. Although he is a few years older than Mrs. Shi, he may look much older than Mrs. Shi because of poor maintenance. According to the news obtained from Yuchai, this Aunt Cai is now Shi Guogong - Shi Rongyuan, who was a young girl, and was carried to her aunt in the early years because she gave birth to a daughter, Shi Lingshu. Now Shi Lingshu is fifteen years old, and she has just held a ceremony in the spring of this year, and she is at the age of saying goodbye;

The one who came in after Aunt Cai was the second aunt, surnamed Wu. She used to be the daughter of Mrs. Shi's housekeeper mother Wu. She is now about thirty years old, her appearance is ordinary, and she is also petite, I heard that when Shi Sun's was pregnant with Young Master Huan, she was accepted into the door by the Sun family. Although this Aunt Wu's appearance is not successful, she is good at giving birth and raising, and she is not as difficult as Mrs. Shi. Within a few years of being an aunt, she gave birth to a son and a daughter: concubine Shi Lingyan and concubine Shi Lingshuang. With both children and daughters, coupled with the support of Mrs. Shi behind her, Aunt Wu is also decent in the house.

There should have been a third aunt, but she didn't come this time. This one is a master who has to be mentioned. Even when Ning Yun was still in Ning Mansion, she had heard of her.

If you want to talk about this third aunt, you have to start with today's Shi Rongyuan Shi Guogong.

Now this Shi Rongyuan is forty years old, and he is the second son of Shi Lao Guogong. On top of Shi Rongyuan, there was originally a brother-in-law - Shi Rongyi. The eldest son of this historian was a well-known figure in Kyoto back then! At the age of eight, he was familiar with the art of war, at the age of fifteen he went into battle to kill the enemy, he was brave and good at fighting, only twenty years old, when the northern barbarians invaded the Great Zhou, he made great contributions, and was named the first "Fengguo General" of the Great Zhou Dynasty by the emperor, guarding one side. As the son of the world, not only is he extraordinary, but also decent and selfless, he is young and has made great achievements, Shi Rongyi once became the greatest pride of the Shi family since his ancestors, and at the same time, he also became a model for the godson of the entire Kyoto hairpin family.

It's a pity that Shi Rongyi is unlucky. Within a few years of establishing his family, he died in a โ–กโ–ก, and he didn't even have an heir. The eldest son died, and the title of Duke naturally became Shi Rongyuan, the second son of the Shi family.

This Shi Rongyuan was not the "key training object" of his parents, and he was suppressed by his brother's aura, although he was lucky enough to "pick up" a title, but he was just an empty shell: he was not good at writing, and he was not good at martial arts. When he was young, he was a gentleman, often wandering in the flower alleys, drunk and did not return. Fortunately, I married a powerful wife later, and it has only converged over the years. Mrs. Shi is also a powerful person, and she is very strict with the matter of taking concubines, and after all these years, there are not too many aunts from two maids in the backyard.

However, after all, "the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change", Shi Rongyuan has a strict wife at home, and after enduring it for more than ten years, he finally revealed his "lustful" nature again. Once at the birthday banquet of the king of Jinnan County, Shi Rongyuan was drunk, and somehow fell in love with the personal maid who grew up with the princess of the county, Cut Willow, flirted a few words, and almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, when this king of Jinnan County was young, he and Shi Rongyuan were "best friends" who lingered in the flower lanes together, and not only did not blame Shi Rongyuan, but gave this maid named Yu Jianliu as a gift to Shi Rongyuan.

At this moment, Shi Rongyuan's wish was really fulfilled.

Not only is there a young and beautiful concubine, but there is also a princess of the county behind this concubine, and the "tigress" in the family must have nothing to do with her, isn't this a good thing that fell from the sky. Because of this, Shi Rongyuan was particularly fond of this third aunt Fang.

I only pity Mrs. Shi, who has been powerful for more than ten years, and has guarded her husband's side like a bucket, but in the end, she still failed to prevent the man's "flowery heart", and recruited such a "powerful" enemy for herself.

When Ning Yun listened to Yuchai talk about these in the courtyard, she felt a little happy in her heart. There is such a mother-in-law's love rival in the house, you can help yourself transfer the "firepower" so that you will not be stared at to death by your mother-in-law, excellent! .
