Shang Wanyan's grandfather, Mrs. Shang was the martial champion of Xuande for three years, and the first emperor Qi Ming, like the current Emperor Qi Xuan, was a man who valued literature over martial arts. Old lady Shang was obviously three or five years younger than Wen Zhuangyuan Youlu in the same period, and he was five or six points handsome, but Emperor Qi Ming praised him too much, and a Pengzhou Dusi sent him away.

On the other hand, Emperor Qi Ming not only personally set up a Qionglin banquet for him, but also let him pay off Princess Jiayang, who was the most talented at that time.

But said that this Princess Jiayang, not only has a talent, but also a very outstanding appearance, Emperor Qi Ming is the most fond of her, the prince of Li Jiangguo personally came to Jindu to ask for marriage many times, Emperor Qi Ming was reluctant to marry Princess Jiayang, and did not let go. Now that a holy decree of the lord has fallen into the hands of Wen Zhuangyuan Youlu, the scholars of the Manchu Dynasty are shocked, and their hearts are both envious and jealous. But the people of Youlu were in a hurry, and they happened to be the champion at the age when Princess Jiayang was married, and even though the men in the world were a little unwilling, they were also convinced.

The only person who was not convinced was Mrs. Shang. Old lady Shang felt that he was a little wronged, obviously he was also the champion, and he also wanted to marry Princess Jiayang, why did he let You Lu come out on top?

It's just that the holy decree has been made, he is not convinced, and he can't rob Emperor Qi Ming of the family affairs set by himself, so he has to secretly make up his mind in his heart that he must find a woman who is either better than Princess Jiayang in terms of talent and fame, or better than Princess Jiayang in appearance. Although the old lady Shang Li's family is poor, some are not worthy of the old lady Shang, but when she was young, she was born to be called a closed moon shy flower, and the old lady Shang saw that she couldn't walk a little, and when she heard that she was not married, she immediately asked the matchmaker to come to the door and say that the matchmaker would marry someone back on a certain date.

After getting married, I saw the methods of Shang Li's stunning beauty, and I was stunned to manage him so miserably that I didn't dare to complain a word. So on weekdays, the old lady Shang can try not to stay at home if he is not at home.

Sure enough, Steward Yu explained in a whisper: "Master Hou and his colleagues went to drink, the second master is doing things in the yamen, and the old lady has always been busy, and he is not at home at this time." If you have any needs, just tell the old lady and the second lady, our old lady has always been the most forgiving person. ”

The three of them smiled and answered, and walked to the front of the main house, where a round-faced maid wearing a green cotton jacket and delicate silver ornaments on her head and wrists was standing there reprimanding a little girl of seven or eight years old.

"Where is it so cold, but it's just standing outside and making a curtain, can't you do such a small thing? If it weren't for your old lady begging to come to me and let me arrange a face-showing guy for you, I wouldn't have put such a good thing in your hands! You are clumsy, you have a business trip, you offend your master and hurt yourself, if you affect me, then I am not kind and not rewarded? ”

The little girl apologized with a crying voice: "Sister Hecao, I was wrong, you forgive me this time, next time it will definitely not be like this!" Please don't tell my father and my mother, they have a lot of heart for ****, if you know that I smashed Miss Four's face with a curtain, I'm afraid I'm going to kill me! ”

Hecao pinched his waist and raised his chin high: "This son knows to beg me?" I didn't know how to grow a snack early! ”

Just as he was about to continue, he saw that Steward Yu had led someone to this side, so he hurriedly stopped talking, greeted him, and said with a smile: "Steward Yu is here!" What is this? ”

Steward Yu smiled and said, "Hexiang, the eldest lady and the second lady have arrived, you go in and report to the old lady, do you see you now or ......?" ”

He Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to salute Shang Wanyan and Shang Wanyi, and the housekeeper Yu deliberately did not introduce Aunt Gu, He Xiang looked at Aunt Gu who was dressed decently, and was not sure what her identity was, so the whole person stood there embarrassed.

Shang Wanyi quietly rolled her eyes at Steward Yu, pointed at Aunt Gu and said to Hexiang, "This is my aunt and my sister." ”

Shang Wanyan sneered coldly in her heart when she heard this, but she knew that she would be called a sister, not a bowl spirit.

He Xiang hurriedly saluted Aunt Gu to say goodbye, and only after the ceremony was completed did she smile at a few people: "The old lady heard that the young ladies had arrived, so she had already arranged for the slaves and maids to wait outside, saying that there was no need to report when the people arrived, and they just brought people in." ”

Shang Wanyan didn't say anything, and walked in with Hexiang. After listening to Hexiang's words, the unknown people will definitely think that the old lady really misses them, and is always looking forward to them coming. Shang Wanyan knew that this lotus fragrance was just a third-class maid beside the old lady, and the old lady sent her out just for show.

Steward Yu brought people to him, and he had nothing to do, said to Hexiang, and saluted Shang Wanyan and the three of them, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the Evergreen Courtyard. Hexiang personally opened the curtain and led the three into the house.

After entering the house, the first thing I saw was a screen embroidered with Chang'e worshipping the moon and jade rabbit pounding medicine, and there was a multi-treasure shelf on one side of the screen, on which were placed several pairs of small plum bottles, jade incense burners, Shoushan stone fish and other delicate objects. Bypassing the screen, I saw a few richly dressed people sitting behind the bound crystal curtain, around a table playing horse hanging. The surrounding maids serve tea, add incense, take care of the stove, and help look at the cards.

When a few people entered, they heard a tall maid next to an old lady with silver hair, a brown dark striped brocade jacket, and a white jade forehead smeared with white jade, say: "Old lady, the slave maid said that it is good to beat this nine ropes!" You see Aunt Liu's face is full of red light, and she can't tell if there are nine or eight ropes in her hand. ”

Shang Li smiled and pulled out a card and threw it out: "Okay, just listen to you." ”

The woman opposite her glanced at the cards on the table, and couldn't help but "oops", and the maid beside her stomped her feet: "Old lady, didn't you say that you played nine ropes, you came out with 200,000 yuan!" ”

Shang Li glanced at the card he had just thrown: "It turned out to be 200,000 yuan!" Forget it, come out when it's out! ”

The other three people were happy, and Aunt Liu, who was under her head, was about to play her cards, when she saw Shang Li raise her eyes and look at a few people who walked in at the curtain of her eyes, and nodded: "Yuan Niang and Er Niang have arrived, and they won't play today, Liu Zhi, you take someone to clean up the horse crane and pour tea for Yuan Niang and Er Niang." ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman with a golden hairpin on her head and a somewhat old-looking appearance glanced at this side with a surprised face, and immediately walked up quickly, regardless of whether Shang Wanyan and Shang Wanyi knew her or not, she enthusiastically pulled one with one hand: "You are finally here, the old lady has been thinking about you these days, and she can't even eat well." I always say, you are here, I am afraid that I will be disgusted by the old lady. ”

Then he deliberately glanced at Shang Wanyan and Shang Wanyi, and said to the old lady with a smile: "No wonder the old lady thinks about them, now that I see these two children, I want to exchange my two monkeys!" ”

The old lady pointed to the lady and said to Shang Wanyan and Shang Wanyi: "This is your aunt, your mother is gone, since she lived in the Hou Mansion, she has helped me to take care of the house these days, if you have anything you want, you don't like to change it, just ask her." She is the most patient person and will not wronged you. ”

When the three of them heard this, their faces were a little ugly. Aunt Gu and Shang Wanyi didn't expect that in order to control them, the old lady would use words to remind them who is the master of the house in this Hou Mansion in order to control them! Shang Wanyan looked at it coldly, not surprised. In the previous life, Shang Li's family was like this, they just entered the house, and Shang Li's family was busy declaring sovereignty, when she was Aunt Gu was her own mother, thinking that after the death of Pengzhou's mother-in-law, Aunt Gu presided over the feeding, and she also said that she fought with the old lady.

As soon as she arrived at the Wuwei Hou Mansion, she was punished for copying five volumes of Buddhist scriptures.

Shang Wanyan glanced at Shang Wanyi quietly, and found that although she felt angry, she endured it and did not move.

Shang Wanyan took a deep breath and followed Aunt Gu and Shang Wanyi to kneel down and say goodbye to Shang Li's family. and asked the subordinates to bring in the same gift as the old lady brought from Pengzhou, and Shang Li's eyes contained a bit of real joy.

The old lady smiled and beckoned: "Yuan Niang, Er Niang, you all came to show your grandmother closely, you are all so tall." ”

Shang Wanyi responded obediently, and sure enough, she walked over, but Shang Wanyi lowered her head and quietly pouted, she thought that she hadn't seen her for so many years, and when she saw her grandmother, she had to hug her head and cry, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of shriveled and alienated scene, with a little ridiculous and embarrassing. Is this also her blood relative?

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he did not hesitate to walk towards the old lady's steps.

The old lady may also feel a little embarrassed by this scene, reached out and touched the heads of the two granddaughters, and finally squeezed out a few tears in the old eyes, very emotional, and chanted: "Good children, they are all good children, grandmother finally saw you!" ”

At this moment, even Aunt Gu, who was still kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. She herself is used to hiding her dirty thoughts in her heart, and this is the first time she has seen such a real villain, and she can't think of how to deal with it for a while.
