Chapter 34 Younger Brother
According to tradition, on the third day after the ceremony, the palace will hold a banquet to comfort the officials, on this day Shen Qing is leaning on the bench to read, Yumei took three sets of gorgeous costumes, and stood in front of Shen Qing with a smile: "Miss, don't read the book first, tell me which of these sets of clothes you like the most?" ”
Shen Qing didn't raise his head: "It's all good-looking." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yumei looked at her with a frowning face: "Huh? What kind of outfit are you going to wear tomorrow, Miss? ”
"Whichever set you say."
Yumei stomped her foot: "Miss, why are you always like this." ”
Shen Qing rubbed his temples with one hand: "Okay, you can show it to me." ”
Yumei pouted: "It's all here." You didn't even look at it just now, lie. ”
Shen Qing looked at her singing and songwriting expression with a smile: "Just that purple smoke Luo." ”
Yumei raised her eyebrows: "I'll just say that this one is the best-looking, Miss has a good eye." ”
Shen Qing chuckled, but there was a report from the maid outside the door: "Eldest Miss, Aunt Qi and the second son ask to see you." ”
Shen Qing was surprised in his heart, Aunt Qi was Qi Zhengshi's concubine, and she married Shen Changshan as a concubine because she was a concubine.
She put down the book in her hand: "Yumei, please let them in." ”
Yumei immediately restrained her little daughter's posture, "Yes!" Miss. ”
The two entered the door under the guidance of Yumei, Aunt Qi was only in her thirties, she was still well-maintained, her figure was not as fat as an ordinary middle-aged woman, her fair skin only had some fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she laughed, but the fat powder couldn't hide the haggard complexion, she curtst and saluted: "I've seen the eldest lady!" ”
Shen Tuo also clasped his fists and bowed: "I've seen the eldest sister!" ”
Shen Qing turned sideways slightly, "Auntie, what are you doing?" Tuo'er is quick and free of courtesy. ”
Aunt Qi thanked her and sat down with Yumei's support.
She seemed to be a little cramped, only sitting in a third of the chair, slightly bowing her head and peeking at Shen Qing.
"Auntie, if there is anything, please tell me directly."
Aunt Qi suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, Shen Tuo saw her mother kneeling, and knelt down, Shen Qing looked at the two people in front of her and didn't speak, since she asked for something, she would naturally say that she didn't need to urge.
Sure enough, after sobbing for a while, seeing that Shen Qing did not react, Aunt Qi stopped crying, she wiped her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, but strangely did not wipe away her tears, a charming face looked at her with rain, Shen Qing choked in his heart, this trick should be used on his father, it seems that being a concubine also has occupational diseases.
She pulled Shen Tuo to the side: "Please save Tuo'er, eldest lady." ”
The kneeling man had the youthfulness of a teenager, the thirteen-year-old boy was already only half a head shorter than Shen Qing, he blushed, buried his head deep in his chest, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.
"Tuo'er beat the little son of Yuan Shaofu's family in Diecui Building yesterday, I heard that Yuan Shaofu reported the matter to the emperor, and the emperor is now fully handed over to the second prince to deal with, I know that His Royal Highness the second prince has a lot to do with the Taiwei Mansion, can I ask the eldest lady to ask the second prince to be lenient on Tuo'er."
Shen Qing listened quietly: "Why did you go to Diecui Building." ”
Aunt Qi was about to speak, but was stopped by Shen Qing with her eyes: "I'm asking Shen Tuo." ”
Shen Tuo's face was already flushed at this time, he looked up at Shen Qing, and then quickly lowered his head, somehow, he always felt that the deterrence in the eyes of this eldest sister was even better than his father, and he was stared at by her tightly and felt like a mang on his back, he said loudly: "Yesterday was the birthday of the son of Tian Shangshu's family, someone proposed to go to Diecui Building to drink, I was curious for a while, so I followed." ”
Shen Qing smiled coldly: "Okay, I know how to visit the kiln at the age of thirteen, it seems that my Shen family is going to be a merry and talented man." ”
Shen Tuo hurriedly defended: "Eldest sister, I didn't do anything, so I drank a few glasses of wine with them." ”
"Then why do you get into a fight with someone else?"
"He said that I was lowly, and I was a concubine who couldn't get on the stage. I'm just. I couldn't hold back for a while.."
He breathed rapidly through his nose as he spoke, and it was evident that he still cared about it.
Shen Qing took a deep breath: "I won't help you, people should take responsibility for what they do." ”
"Miss!"
Aunt Qi screamed in surprise and was about to start crying again, Shen Qing waved her hand helplessly: "Mother is a lot of losers, Yumei, help Aunt Qi down, I have something to say to Shen Tuo alone." ”
Aunt Qi looked back at Shen Tuo unwillingly, and was pulled away by Yumei.
Shen Qing turned his head to look at Shen Tuo, he had already raised his head, but he looked at her with a kind of resentment in his eyes.
She smiled slightly: "You hate me in your heart now." ”
The young man turned his head stubbornly: "Brother doesn't dare." ”
Shen Qing smiled: "It's just that someone else scolded you for nothing, are you going to beat someone to death?" ”“
Should he call me lowly, why should he call me lowly? ”
"Do you think you're lowly?"
Shen Tuo roared excitedly: "Of course I'm not!" ”
Shen Qing ignored his mania: "No, you yourself think you are lowly from the bottom of your heart. ”
Shen Tuo said with a bare face: "I didn't." ”
"You have, of course you have, the more a person cares about something, the more afraid of what others say, you are inferior to your own background, so as long as others mention your background, you feel that it is an insult to you, you are afraid that they will say that you are the son of your aunt, and you are afraid that they will say that the concubine is only worthy of carrying shoes for the son-in-law."
The more Shen Tuo listened, the more painful he became, his facial features were distorted, and finally he couldn't help clenching his fists, and roared with red eyes: "Yes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that they always remind me that I am a lowly concubine, I don't deserve anything, the support of the family, the favor of my father, the respect of the world, these all do not belong to me, where are you like these sons and daughters-in-law, who are naturally superior to others, and I.... Nothing. ”
Shen Qing got up and walked to his side, squatted down and said in his ear: "You are wrong, you yourself look down on yourself, how can you ask others to respect you, people's nobility is not only determined by birth, the founding emperor was a shoe weaver at the beginning, but he created Jin Yaoshan River." General Weiyuan used to be a prison pawn, but he became a general above 10,000 people with his own efforts. ”
"I don't deny that many people are heroes by their origins, but such people are short-sighted themselves, if you deal with such a person, you will be much better than him, only if you respect yourself and accept yourself, others will really respect you. As the saying goes, if you are bitten by a vicious dog, do you want to bite it again as revenge? If you are an open-minded person, why should you punish yourself for the mistakes of others? ”
