Chapter 135: Shen Family Trivia
When the carriage came to a stop, the guards knocked on the door. When Shen Bin got out of the car, the door just opened, and the two concubines walked out quickly.
"The child visits his father." It's been three months since Xiao Fei was beheaded, and the brothers have lost a lot of weight and look more mature on the surface.
Compared with his affection for Shen Ze, Shen Bin has always been lukewarm to these two concubines. He replied lightly and asked about his daughter-in-law. "Where's your sister-in-law? Why didn't it come out? ”
"Sister-in-law, she is a month old, and she is a little inconvenient in her movements, so she is estimated to be a little slower, so please don't blame my father." Shen Pei explained for Zhihua, his tone was very sincere, and he made a lot of the friendly gesture that a little uncle should show.
If it was before, Shen Hao would definitely not be able to hold back and take the opportunity to sue Zhihua, but now he just lowered his head silently and quietly followed behind his brother. He finally understood that in such a trivial matter, even if the complaint was successful, it would not allow the person he hated the most in his heart to have any painful losses, and it was better not to say anything, but to achieve the effect of lowering the vigilance of others.
The brothers' cousin made Shen Bin very satisfied, and he was worried that the two of them had a grudge against the eldest sister-in-law because of the Xiao Fei incident, but now it seems that he is too worried.
While speaking, two more women surrounded by a group of maids walked out of the house, the leader Shen Bin knew, it was Minyi's mother-in-law who he planned to accept as a righteous daughter, and the other pot-bellied one seemed to be his daughter-in-law Lu.
The eldest princess represents the royal family, and after Shen Bin took the lead in saluting her according to the rules, Zhihua, who avoided sideways, stepped forward to meet her father-in-law.
Shen Bin's gaze swept over her casually, without carefully examining her appearance.
"Get up, don't be polite."
His attitude was as detached and indifferent as he had just faced the two concubines. This daughter-in-law is worthy of being a skilled figure, and she even wants to pull the support of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess when she meets her family, is this to give herself a dismount?
Zhihua's eyelids jumped slightly, and she didn't know what she hadn't done well for a while, so that her father-in-law didn't like it when they met. She hung her head nervously and remained silent, for fear of saying too much and making too many mistakes.
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows. She couldn't understand what Wei Guogong was dissatisfied with such a good daughter-in-law as Zhihua, and he didn't even want to do superficial work, and directly showed his resistance to Zhihua in front of her, an outsider.
It's a pity, after all, this is a family matter in the Weiguo Mansion, as long as the other party doesn't do too much, she can't interfere.
"I came back this time and brought back the corpse of my deceased wife. Your Royal Highness Princess, the Mansion is about to start busy with funerals, and it is temporarily inconvenient to entertain Your Highness, please forgive me. Shen Bin also noticed the uneasiness on the eldest princess's face, the more she cared about Zhihua, the more Shen Bin felt that this daughter-in-law's methods were too powerful, and she couldn't help but directly give an eviction order.
It was the first time that the eldest princess heard the news of Xiao Fei's death, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise. "When did Mrs. Zun go to the immortal? Why haven't you heard of it before? ”
Although he was reluctant, Shen Bin still had to act according to the script that Zhihua first proposed.
"My deceased wife died of illness at the end of August in Yaowang Valley, and at that time, my daughter-in-law's fetal position was not stable, and it was not suitable to handle the funeral, so the contemptible people decided to take the ashes of the deceased wife back to Beijing and then do it."
There was a lot of maintenance for Zhihua in these words, and the eldest princess stretched her brows and bowed her head lightly after hearing this. "Then the palace will not delay the affairs of your house, and I will come back another day to pay tribute to Mrs. Zun. Leave! ”
Although he knew in his heart that this so-called corpse was just an empty shell, Shen Bin still let Zhihua avoid his small courtyard. No matter if she doesn't wait to see each other again, what she is pregnant with in her womb is her first grandson after all, and Shen Bin doesn't want the child to have any mistakes because of a taboo.
After Zhihua retreated, Shen Bin ordered the two concubines to welcome their mother's "ashes" home.
On the same day, the Weiguo Mansion hung up a white flag to announce to the world the news of the death of the master's mother. Shen Bin even wrote down Ding Wei's memorabilia on the next day and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor immediately issued an order to seize the affection, and all the cutscenes were well known to both parties, and they ended smoothly.
Because Zhihua was pregnant, she couldn't enter the mourning hall to cry for her mother-in-law. But every day, she would personally copy dozens of mantras and send them to the mourning hall for incineration. This move was intentionally promoted by Mama Dou and the eldest princess, and the guests who came to pay their respects heard everything. Everyone praised her filial piety, but it also made Shen Bin even more jealous.
In fact, people are like this, once they have a preconceived bad impression of someone, then no matter what the other party does, it will be unpleasant, even if Zhihua's move has attracted a lot of good reputation for the family, Shen Bin just can't be happy.
Shen Pei and Shen Hao also noticed that their father was unhappy all day long, but the brothers only thought that he was acting coyly, and they didn't think about his dislike for his eldest sister-in-law at all, so they missed the best opportunity to fall into the well.
This New Year in the Weiguo Mansion was very plain and low-key because he had just finished the funeral of the main mother. After the first seven days of Xiaofei's family, Zhihua consciously began to greet her father-in-law every day, greeted him with warmth, and took care of his diet and daily necessities. Shen Bin was still cold and indifferent to her, and the more respectful and humble she was, the more he felt in his heart that this person was good at acting.
The love of pregnant women is already very sensitive, Zhihua doesn't know how many tears she shed for her father-in-law's inexplicable alienation and disgust, every time she feels wronged to the extreme, she will write a letter to Shen Ze to confide, but this kind of letter is burned after writing, and the letters sent to the family at the border pass are all trivial and interesting things such as how the child is naughty and active in the womb, and likes to listen to people play the piano.
She poured all her negative feelings on the burned paper, and when she faced her father-in-law again, she was again in a respectful posture with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. She is not stupid, but knows the weight of her father-in-law in her husband's heart, and really wants to be good to this elder who has had a rough life for half her life.
She believes that sincerity is the opening of gold and stone.
Shen Ze, who was far away in Yunzhou, had no idea about his wife's current situation. Although the enemy army has not moved abnormally recently, he will not be able to return home for a day if Zhenyuguan is not recovered. When his wife Youxi's letter arrived, the situation at the border was in the most critical and worst situation, and he was so busy every day that he slept backwards when he returned to the tent, and he didn't have the time to savor the joy of being promoted to a father.
After the armistice, Shen Ze finished dealing with the winter affairs in the army, and finally had leisure to miss his family. He found all the family letters that he had no time to read and read them countless times. According to what was written in the letter, imagining Zhihua's belly growing day by day, the concept of children in my heart became clearer and clearer, and the feeling of homesickness became heavier and heavier day by day.
