Chapter Eighty-Five: Hypocrisy and Wrongdoing
The second wife, Zhao, is the daughter of the Marquis of Xingyang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
To say that the second master is just a concubine, it stands to reason that he can't climb up to the concubine of the Xingyang Hou Mansion, but when the second master married the second wife, the Xingyang Hou was only a fourth-grade official, and the Shen family is the Shangshu Mansion, which is considered to be the right person, but after getting married, the old lady's career is stuck, but the old man Zhao is rising step by step, and he has made great contributions in the past few years.
has such a favored father-in-law, even if the second master is released, he is also going to a rich place, and he has real power in his hands.
When I return to Beijing this time, I will not only stay in Beijing, but I am afraid that I will have to rise one liter.
Thinking of Shen Jun, who has been filial piety at home for three years, and now he has been out of filial piety for three months, and he has not yet taken office.
She has the heart to divide the family, so that the second master's family is far away, out of sight, but on the contrary, except for the second master, the third and fourth rooms are all from the old lady.
The old lady would rather the second wife poke her eye sockets every day than split up, what can she do, she can only endure it.
The old lady put down the letter, her eyes were dark and unpredictable, and said, "The Marquis of Xingyang is my in-law of the Shen family, and it is my fiftieth birthday, and the birthday gift is three points more valuable than usual. ”
The eldest lady nodded, indicating that she had written it down.
This topic is no longer raised.
The fourth lady greeted the old lady, sat down and said, "There are still two months left for the old lady's birthday, and it has not been done in the past three years, is it a big event this year?" ”
The old lady is dead, Shen Jun Ding is worried at home, how can he hold a birthday banquet for the old lady, in the past three years, there has not even been a decent banquet in the house.
The eldest lady felt that she could take the opportunity to have a good time, but the old lady was not interested, she waved her hand and said, "This matter, wait for Jun'er's appointment order to come down." ”
In the past, the old lady was still looking forward to Shen Jun's promotion to the next level, which was also what he deserved, but after so many things happened recently, the old lady felt that the official was reinstated, and she was satisfied.
However, Shen Jun can only be regarded as part of the reason, and the main thing is Shen Yue.
She recently had a lot of trouble with Prince Xuan's family, although she retreated, but everyone knows that she was unwilling to marry Prince Xuan's son, and the cockfight won Prince Xuan's son, so she retreated, and Prince Xuan's son also hung himself at the city gate for a few hours.
Men are all dignified, and if they are divorced by a girl, they will definitely not be able to hang up on their faces, especially Prince Xuan, who is notoriously irritable and will take revenge if he has revenge.
If the Shen family and Prince Xuan have a grudge, and a few ministers dare to deal with the Shen family, even if the emperor praises Shen Jun in public.
When the time came, a banquet was held, and invitations were sent out, and those ministers did not dare to come considering Prince Xuan's son, and the door was crowded...... The Shen family's loss of face is much bigger than not holding a banquet.
The old lady weighed again and again, but still felt that she was not in a hurry to make a decision, and it would not be too late to wait a few days.
The eldest lady understood the old lady's consideration, and glanced at Shen Yue, her eyes were as cold as a knife.
Shen Yue's face was calm, she didn't understand the old lady's words, but since she didn't say it explicitly, she pretended to be stupid and didn't understand, as for the eldest lady's cold face, think about the thousand taels she got yesterday, it was the old lady who praised her, she didn't necessarily have a good face for her, just get used to it, there is no need to ruin your mood for the people you don't like.
Over there, the maid came over and invited the old lady to breakfast.
The fourth lady came so early, because it was her turn to serve the old lady for breakfast today, the daughter-in-law, the old lady had four, it was supposed to be a day of service for one person, but the old lady did not use them, the fourth lady also knew this, but the fourth lady was a little rigid, although the old lady said no, and they really didn't need them to serve, but as long as it was her turn that day, she got up early in the morning and came to greet the old lady without breakfast.
After saying goodbye, the old lady had breakfast, and she went back to Beiyuan, for more than ten years, without exception.
Speaking of filial piety alone, there is really no one in the house to compare.
At this time, the old lady reacted, at this hour, the eldest lady came to her, she should not have had breakfast, and after realizing it, the old lady asked the eldest lady, "Why did you come so early?" ”
The eldest lady replied, "Just now, my sister-in-law sent someone to tell me that my mother is sick and I will go back to the door in a while." “
Although the eldest lady is the mother of the Shen family, but such a major event as returning to the door, you still need to tell the old lady, otherwise she will lose the rules, if the old lady does not agree, she will not be able to go back to her parents' house, of course, the old lady is a reasonable person, the mother of the family is sick, and it is right for the daughter to go back to visit one or two, she will not stop it, but sigh with emotion, "When you are old, if you take care of it a little bit, you will easily fall ill, no better than when you were young, bring more supplements, and then help me greet my mother-in-law." ”
The eldest lady should get up, and Shen Yao over there said, "Mother, I'll go too." ”
Mrs. Yichun Hou is the eldest lady's mother-in-law, that is, Shen Yao's maternal grandmother, and she should visit.
The eldest lady was worried about the condition of Mrs. Yichunhou, and without delay, she retired with a blessed body.
Shen Yao didn't have an appetite for breakfast anymore, so she followed the eldest lady away.
Only Shen Xiu and Shen Ke were left, and Shen Yue accompanied the old lady to breakfast.
After breakfast, and then sat with the old lady for two quarters of an hour, the old lady let them go out to play.
When she went out, Shen Xiu found a topic to chat with Shen Yue, she said, "The emperor has asked my father, and my father's official position will soon bear fruit, and when the time comes, my grandmother will definitely have a feast and a beautiful birthday, so we will prepare a birthday gift now, so as not to be in a hurry, I don't know what the eldest sister plans to give to my grandmother?" ”
Shen Yue took the embroidered handkerchief and touched the tip of his nose, his expression was not familiar or estranged, and said lightly, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
When Shen Xiu heard this, he looked a little hurt and said, "Why does the eldest sister feel so alienated from me, is it because the **** helped the fourth sister?" ”
The corners of Shen Yue's mouth hooked slightly, and he didn't speak, Shen Xiu continued, "Big sister misunderstood me, I'm not so stupid, I can't tell who is really for my good, it's just that I and the fifth sister are soft-spoken, how to resist the big lady, can only be compromised, if the big sister misunderstands, we should fight." ”
Her words were sincere and her attitude was sincere, and the sincere Shen Yue almost believed it.
She smiled and said, "Second sister, don't worry, I'm not so stunned that I can't see what vanity and wrongdoing are." ”
Shen Xiu was stunned when he heard this, how did this sound weird?
She wanted to ask again, but Shen Yue had already turned around and left.
