Chapter Seventy-Six: The Storm
A layer of autumn rain and a layer of coolness, and the clothes up and down the Shen Mansion also began to thicken with the cooler weather.
Aunt Tong is more and more valued by Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen, who bought clothes and fabrics this year, lost it to her.
Life in the world is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Aunt Tong is now in charge of the second.
She did not deliberately make things difficult for the hospitals, but put a lot of thought into her flowers, so as to do better than Aunt Zhao in previous years.
Aunt Zhao has always followed the old routine, and naturally she is no better than Aunt Tong, who spends her mind.
Comparing the two, Aunt Tong pressed Aunt Zhao, proving that she has the ability to manage the affairs of the house, and she is better than Aunt Zhao before.
Because of this autumn's errand of cloth arrangement, Mrs. Shen praised her several times inside and out.
Shen Renjie is growing up day by day, because of his good birth and upbringing, although he is a concubine, he is the only man in the second room of the Shen family.
Old Mrs. Shen openly and secretly lifted Aunt Tong, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Maybe one day Aunt Tong will become the rightful master of the second room, and if she goes on in this way, I'm afraid that the day will not be far away.
Although Aunt Tong was thoughtful, she unconsciously showed a few surprised smiles on her face.
She wanted to laugh uncontrollably, but in the end she didn't do so, but the corners of her mouth twitched, and her eyes sparkled, showing her good mood everywhere.
But when she heard Yan'er's words, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace.
"Auntie, Aunt Zhao entered the second master's room last night."
"Oh." She raised her voice, hiding the hint of anger well, but her eyes were slightly awe-inspiring.
Yan'er looked at her face and said, "Auntie, should we do something?" ”
Aunt Tong smiled and squinted at Yan'er, "You say, we should do something." ”
Yan'er lowered her head, she didn't dare to make an idea, she didn't say that she didn't have an idea, but she felt that Aunt Tong should have a way to deal with it, and it was definitely better than her idea.
But Aunt Tong closed her lips tightly and didn't say a word, but the clenched fists under her sleeves revealed her true feelings at the moment.
She wasn't as calm as she seemed.
She knows very clearly, Aunt Zhao has been able to control the Shen family for so many years, not because Aunt Zhao has much ability, but because Second Master Shen wants her to be in charge, so she can do it.
Others said that Shen Erye took care of Jiang's old feelings and took care of the old people for Jiang's, but Aunt Tong couldn't fully agree, at least, she felt that Shen Erye had more or less feelings for Aunt Zhao.
Although she felt that the overall situation had been decided, Shen Erye's personality of never playing cards according to the rules still made her a little jealous and afraid.
When it comes to the duck whose mouth is cooked, how can she let him fly lightly like this!
Because of Aunt Zhao's actions, the calm Shen Mansion set off another wave.
Shen Qinrou sat in the small flower hall practicing calligraphy, and the news brought by Xi'er made her frown.
She had no doubt that now the entire Shen Mansion knew about Aunt Zhao's entry into Second Master Shen's room last night.
It's normal for a concubine to sleep, but it shouldn't be such a sensitive time.
The timing is not right.
A drop of thick ink dripped from the finger of the pen, fainting into a lump of ink on the rice paper, Shen Qinrou put down the pen, and frowned into a Sichuan character.
"Don't frown." Shen Qinya sat on a chair next to her and persuaded her.
Since Mrs. Shen snubbed Shen Qinya, she has had a lot of free time, so that she often comes to the Blowing Snow Courtyard to talk to Shen Qinrou, and the relationship between the sisters is much closer than before.
Hearing this, Shen Qinrou's brows slowly loosened, and she asked, "Why do you say she did that?" ”
Although Shen Qinrou and Aunt Zhao are mother and daughter, they have very few heart-to-heart relationships, to be honest, Shen Qinrou really doesn't understand Aunt Zhao's intentions, she is faintly angry.
The calm situation in front of her was something she had fought for with great difficulty, and Aunt Zhao's only one move ruined her long-term efforts.
Shen Qinrou was in a very bad mood at the moment.
Shen Qinya sighed, she had a little complicated feelings about Aunt Zhao, for such a biological mother who had given herself to Mrs. Shen since she was a child, to be honest, she was not willing to get close and contacted, although at that time Aunt Zhao was thinking about her and out of kindness.
Sometimes the intellect and the emotion are out of sync.
"Perhaps, she wants to do something for you?" Shen Qinya thought for a long time before she said, because her feelings for Aunt Zhao were much weaker than Shen Qinrou, it seemed to be more objective and closer to the truth.
Shen Qinrou smiled, but the smile was a little bitter, and she really didn't know how to accept Aunt Zhao's sudden kindness for a while.
Could it be that this is the legendary good intentions doing bad things?
Shen Qinrou smiled, even though Aunt Zhao had done bad things, she was not very qualified to criticize Aunt Zhao.
After all, is it wrong for my aunt to be close to her father?
Aunt Zhao's actions triggered a series of follow-up questions.
The first to make a move was not Aunt Tong, but Old Lady Shen.
Her old man was visibly unhappy.
On the afternoon when Shen Qinrou and the others learned the news, Mrs. Shen did something.
She asked people to send a few sets of head noodles out.
The people of Qiutong Courtyard received it, the people of Nangui Courtyard received it, Shen Qinya, who lived in the middle of Mingyue and was rumored to have fallen out of favor, also received it, and Shen Qinrou, who was alone in the Snow Courtyard, did not receive it.
Old Lady Shen had never cared about these things, but this time she suddenly became careless.
Old Lady Shen didn't call anyone to come to her to teach her a lesson, but only used the most shallow thing to express her dissatisfaction.
She was dissatisfied, and there were naturally people below who wanted to please her to clean up the people in the snow blowing courtyard for her.
Fortunately, the people in the Blowing Snow Courtyard have gone round after round, and there are not many people with different hearts, so even though there are people outside the hospital fighting for them, life has passed.
Shen Qinrou had been staring at Bi'e, but she didn't move.
The days passed day by day, and it didn't seem to change much from usual, but in fact there was a constant undercurrent.
Xi'er spit out the cakes that ate the pebbles more than once, and she continued to bite when she was not in a good mood, and of course continued to eat the pebbles.
"These people know that they are violent creatures."
Que'er didn't make fun of Xi'er as usual, and she was also a little angry about what the people below her were doing.
There is food for every meal in the Blowing Snow Courtyard, but the dishes are not salted or mixed with some other things, and some other things are added to the rice to make people really unable to eat.
She hadn't had a good meal for several days, and her originally white and tender little face had faintly become a lot sharper.
Xi'er didn't do it less, and Shen Qinrou did it again according to the method she used to deal with those mothers-in-law last time, but Shen Qinrou didn't do that.
What's the use of that? This time, it was not the minions below who had to deal with them, but the old lady Shen sitting on top of them.
And Mrs. Shen did even more desperately, in order to prevent the recurrence of the last incident, Mrs. Shen ordered to go down and let Shen Qinrou copy the Guanyin Heart Sutra a hundred times, which was a disguised confinement.
For the first time, the magpies and other maids realized the cruelty of reality, and the people above really wanted them to disappear, without using knives and moving the board, just touching their mouths, and they couldn't bear it.
