The one hundred and forty-first round
In fact, Cai Wei and they didn't come late, this Jin Taifei just got up, but she just wanted to use this reason to suppress Cai Wei, her own niece didn't become a concubine is enough to make her lose face, last night I heard her niece Jin Cuiqiao's cry, saying that although she entered the palace first, but His Royal Highness never spent the night in her room, from the first night she entered the mansion, let her stay alone in the empty room every night, and she couldn't see His Royal Highness's face during the day. Now as soon as Concubine Zheng entered the door, she got into the new house early and didn't come out.
Hearing this, Concubine Jin felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and felt that her son was too unkind to give herself the face of being a mother, so she Chong Jin Cuiqiao was also surnamed Jin, and she was his mother's niece, so he should treat her more favorably than that concubine. listened to her niece's idea, asked Mama Qian to go to the new house to take a look at the movement, and deliberately sent Bai Xipa there, just to touch Qin Fei's reverse scales and make them embarrassed, which made the two of them happy, and saw how they still had a good impression and gradually developed a relationship between husband and wife?
Seeing that Xipa was delivered, Qin Fei still didn't come out of the new house angrily, so she gave her niece another idea and taught her to pretend to be sick at night to call Qin Fei over. When she used this method in the Chengen Mansion, it could be said to be a universal spirit, and she didn't want to go to her niece, so she made a fuss for a long time and only called a doctor, but she still didn't even see Qin Fei's face, and she was given a lecture, and now she had to hide in the room and pretend to be sick, lest Qin Fei come to settle accounts with her.
These few things came together, so that Concubine Jin hated her daughter-in-law before she saw her, and when she saw Cai Wei and saw her beautiful complexion and noble temperament, she was even more unpleasant.
She was originally the daughter of a poor family in a small family, but it was only because of the light of her aunt Empress Dowager Sun that she flew up to the branch and became a phoenix, but she was still a little lacking in confidence in her bones.
This feeling was especially strong every time she faced the princess Xianyide, even if the woman later changed from the crown princess to the concubine Yingchuan, and she changed from a prince's concubine to a Linchuan concubine who could compete with her, but every time she stood in front of that woman, the feeling of inferiority in her heart still lingered.
And at this time, in front of her daughter-in-law, she actually had that sense of self-shame again, especially what made her jealous was that this girl surnamed Zhou was not only as noble and graceful as Concubine Yingchuan, but she was also much younger than the Shen family and herself, twenty-eight years old, it was a good youth, but what about herself?
No matter how young I dressed up, no matter how much powder I put on my face, I still can't hide the traces that time has crushed on my face day by day.
"You still don't kneel for me!" When Concubine Jin saw that she said so much, Zhou Caiwei just stood there with her head down, then slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Mother-in-law taught you a lesson, you didn't even kneel down and listen, and you still stood there so thorny, don't you feel that you have the prince as your backer, so you don't take me as a mother in your eyes?" β
Cai Wei hesitated slightly, wondering if she boldly contradicted her mother-in-law on the second day of her wedding, whether she could provoke this mother-in-law who looked at her unpleasantly to simply give her a letter of resignation.
Qin Fei glanced at her, poked her back with his little finger and said, "Hey, what do you want?" Didn't you hear what my mother said? Why don't you kneel down and make amends to my mother! β
Cai Wei heard the threat in his words, and sighed in her heart, look at this shape, her knees are going to suffer again.
She looked at the bare floor tiles in front of Concubine Jin, and didn't expect Concubine Jin to give her a cushion to cushion, lifted the hem of her skirt, knelt down uprightly and said, "The daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, and she asks the concubine to calm her anger!" β
Concubine Jin was about to reprimand her a few more words, but her son preempted her and said: "Okay, okay, since you have paid for the ceremony, hurry up and give my mother the tea, and finish the process that should be taken, this king is still in a hurry to find the brave brother to fight the crickets!" β
As soon as Mama Du heard this, she hurriedly handed the tea tray in her hand to Cai Wei, and glanced at her. β
Concubine Jin glared at her son, this little rabbit cub has always liked to work against her, and she wanted to let her drink this daughter-in-law's tea so lightly, and there was no door?
She didn't look at the tea cup handed to her, she just played with the seven or eight gold nail sets she wore on both hands, and waited until she had set up enough shelves before she spoke: "This is the first time you have given tea to your mother-in-law, why don't you even have a filial piety?" β
This daughter-in-law filial piety to her mother-in-law to meet the gift, Cai Wei naturally prepared, she originally spent a month of hard work to carefully embroider a forehead for Concubine Yingchuan, made a piano bag, a sachet, and a pair of winter shoes, and so on to know that the mother-in-law changed, Cai Wei also changed things, asked her nurse to help her redo two kinds of needlework, she only embroidered a few stitches at the end, and it was over.
Now seeing that her mother-in-law has not yet taken a sip of tea, she first asks for something for herself, then hands the tea tray back to Mama Du, takes another tray from the nurse's hand, and still says respectfully: "These needles and threads are made by my daughter-in-law herself, and I also ask the concubine to smile." β
When Concubine Jin saw that the plate was just an ordinary needle and thread, she lost interest at first, and then saw that the forehead was crow blue and the shoes were navy blue, and she was immediately angry. "What kind of tattered needle and thread are you, you can't even choose a color, look at what color you use, so old-fashioned, how can I wear it?"
Mama Guo, who embroidered these two needles and threads for her own girl, was really aggrieved, the two colors she chose were the most commonly worn by women of the concubine's age, how could they become the colors that could not be worn when they arrived at this concubine?
But when she took a closer look at the dress of this golden concubine, she was speechless for a moment.
I saw that this concubine Niangniang, although she was nearly forty years old, was still wearing a pink jacket and a willow green skirt like a twenty-eight girl, and her eyebrows were drawn into curved, thin and long willow eyebrows, her face was painted white, her lips were also dyed red and gorgeous, her head was full of gold jewelry, and even the shoes on her feet were a pair of high-soled shoes with red embroidery. is obviously a half-old, but she is dressed like a young beauty with pink and willow green.
Looking at her own girl dressed in red, Mama Guo suddenly felt that if she was dressed alone, this mother-in-law looked much more "youthful" than her daughter-in-law!
She saw that this concubine, who insisted on dressing herself up, first did not drink the daughter-in-law tea that her own girl respected, and she disliked the things that the girl respected, so she was in a hurry here. I saw that the concubine opened her mouth again: "Look at you, you can't even do such a small thing, you are so young and knowledgeable, how can you be in charge of the family council?" I think the power of the middle feed in this house will be taken care of by Concubine Jinci! β
At this time, even Mama Du's face changed, seeing that Cai Wei was still indifferent and anxious, the golden concubine threw down another sentence: "Your dowry list Fei'er showed me, and those fields and properties are fine, but it takes some effort to run the silk shop on Zhengyang Street, otherwise all the shopkeepers below will be greedy for the silver." β
"There are also the other two stores, instead of renting them to others to open shops, it is better for us to open two more shops ourselves, it can be seen that you don't know how to take care of these things at all, it is better for me to take care of it for you in the future, lest these three stores are in your hands, and after a year, I am afraid that you will not even be able to make a single one, but you will lose money!"
Although she had expected that Concubine Jin would not give her a good face, how could Caiwei and their master and servant think that this concubine would not care about decency at all, and she hadn't drunk her daughter-in-law's tea, so she would ask her daughter-in-law for her dowry first! But she pointed out the things she wantedβ
Thinking of the hands and feet that the three stores had been made by Uncle Anyuan's mansion, Mama Du and Mama Guo's expressions also calmed down.
