Chapter 32: Wives and concubines meet
Qin Shu didn't know her son's careful thoughts, so she believed his words lightly, and she was at ease.
I secretly decided in my heart that I would dress up according to my preferences in the future, and no longer deliberately pretend to be old-fashioned, anyway, I will get used to it after watching it for a long time.
"By the way, Youan, there's one more thing." Just after breakfast, Qin Shu suddenly remembered something.
"Mother, you say." Qin Zhaocheng finished rinsing his mouth slowly, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said.
Qin Shu's face showed a little embarrassment, hesitated, and finally said: "You invite a few grandmothers to teach etiquette and rules to your mother, it is best to be kinder and more tolerant." ”
Qin Zhaocheng smiled: "This is easy to do!" But what did the mother ask them to do? Do you want to ask them to teach your female students? ”
"How is that possible?" Qin Shu said.
However, his words also reminded her. Those girls are only literate and practice martial arts, it is best to learn some etiquette rules, needlework and female popularity, and even the ability to run a house, etc., after all, they still have to gain a foothold in this era, although she intends to cultivate their sense of independence, and does not want them to rely on men so much, but they still have to integrate into this era, and she has never thought of letting them never marry
The last major general of the empire [Interstellar].
When you go to the battlefield, you don't lose to a man, put down your swords, guns and sticks, marry a wife, you can also run a family, no matter what your heart is, you can also make a posture of a virtuous woman on the surface, and see who dares to chirp crookedly.
Although it may be a little difficult for them, it is very good for their future.
Seeing that Qin Shu was distracted when he said a word, Qin Zhaocheng coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Qin Shu, and asked, "What is my mother thinking?" ”
Qin Shu blinked, came back to her senses, and then said just now: "It's not for them, it's for myself." Of course, it would be nice if you could teach them by the way. ”
"My mother invited me for myself?" When Qin Zhaocheng heard this, his expression was a little strange, and then he had a little more understanding.
Qin Shu bowed slightly, and said with emotion: "If we are just ordinary people, my mother will naturally not do this more to learn any etiquette rules." But apparently our family doesn't stop there. Don't say far, let's just say that a few days ago, the wives of many squire families in Minzhou came to visit, ushered in the send-off, all kinds of rules and etiquette or something, to be honest, I really don't understand. Although they have been trying their best to flatter me, and there is no coldness, I know that they must be laughing behind my back that I don't understand anything, maybe even you look down on me, how can I accept this? ”
That's why later, she will close the door, and if she continues like this, she always feels that embarrassment and social phobia will come to her together.
But sometimes, there are people who can't be ignored.
At that moment, she really hoped that You'an would marry a wife as soon as possible and hand over the work of his wife's diplomacy as soon as possible, she really couldn't handle it.
If it hadn't been for the accident, You'an would definitely have taken a wife instead of a concubine this time.
Thinking of this, Qin Shu showed a wry smile on her face, and then cheered up and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but I can always learn, it's better than not knowing how to pretend to understand, otherwise, sooner or later I will make jokes, I don't want to embarrass you in the future and affect your reputation." Not to mention how well you want to learn, at least you must know in your heart, you will not be rude in front of people, and you will not be deceived in the future. ”
After Qin Zhaocheng listened, he was a little silent.
Originally, when he heard his mother's previous words, he was quite angry, and felt that those who dared to laugh at his mother in private were really hateful and unforgivable.
His mother, is that also something that those women can laugh at?
But when he heard it, his anger gradually dissipated.
Mother's words are indeed very reasonable.
He can control the heavens and the earth, but he can't control what other people's hearts think.
To keep my mother from being wronged, it is not enough to rely on his powerful military deterrence and tough means, the best way is for my mother to study hard to make up for her shortcomings, so that people have nothing to say.
Moreover, my mother is right.
As his status gets higher and higher, there are occasions and things that she has to go through. And his mother's character is by no means the kind of weak woman who likes to hide behind him and let him protect her every way.
If she is tough, she is better than anyone else.
Combined, the women were no match for her fingers.
But the communication between women will not be based on anyone's fists.
Women like to play all kinds of small tricks the most, and they also like to make people suffer and lose money, and they can't say anything about their suffering. Mothers are no match for them in this regard. You can't beat people with your hands, isn't it still your mother who suffers?
Even though he, the son, can be angry for his mother, it also makes people feel resigned. What's more, there are times when he can't take care of it
The system should be a soft girl dressed as a BOSS.
Therefore, the construction of mother-in-law is the way to cure the root cause and the way to last for a long time.
Thinking of this, he also felt a trace of gratitude and admiration in his heart, so he nodded and said, "What my mother said is that I will make arrangements." ”
Mother has an experienced old man by her side to remind her that nothing will go wrong.
It's also to blame that he wasn't careful enough to think of this.
When Qin Shu heard this, she couldn't help but stretch her brows, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Okay, mom wait." Knowing that his son still had something to do, he said, "Okay, you go and get busy, you don't have to accompany me." ”
"Then the son will retire first." Qin Zhaocheng stood up and said.
Qin Shu nodded.
Waiting for Qin Zhaocheng to bow slightly and leave, Qin Shu got up and walked to the door, seeing her disappear behind the shadow wall, then turned around and walked back.
Dongyu, who originally came out with Qin Shu, didn't notice her movements and didn't keep up, but still stood at the door in a daze and looked at the direction of the shadow wall, with a little disappointment on her face.
Qin Shu saw her look in her eyes, and she was in no mood to beat her for the time being.
Qin Shu sat on the Luohan couch in the living room, Dongxue served tea, Qin Shu took the teacup, glanced at her and asked, "Where is Xiaohong?" ”
Dongxue shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know either, I haven't seen Sister Xiaohong come over today." ”
Xiaohong is actually a little younger than her, but who made her senior!
Qin Shu didn't care, maybe something was wrong with Xiaohong?
After all, her brother's illness had not yet healed.
As soon as Qin Shu took a sip of tea, she heard Qiu Yun come in and report: "Madam, Aunt Zhou has come to greet you." ”
Hearing this title, Qin Shu paused for a moment, and then remembered that she was talking about Zhou Zhen'er, so she put down the teacup in her hand, sat up straight and said, "Let her come in!" ”
After all, it's the first day of the wedding, even if it's a little late, it's understandable.
Besides, although Zhou Zhen'er has a slightly special identity, she is not a serious wife, and there is no rule for giving tea to her mother-in-law.
After a while, Zhou Zhen'er walked in with two maids.
Because she was newly married, she wore a pink satin round-necked gown, combed into a woman's bun on her head, and a pale pink head flower made of yarn between her sideburns, with a pair of white bead gold hairpins, a crested golden step, a pair of red silver pearl pendants, and a pink face with spring, it looks a little more charming than before, and it is really more beautiful.
A smile appeared on Qin Shu's lips, it seemed that she had a good time last night.
Seeing Qin Shu, Zhou Zhen'er was stunned at first, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, or a hint of amazement, and then, she reacted, restrained her expression, walked forward with her head down, knelt in front of Qin Shu in a proper manner, kowtowed to her, and said: "Concubine Zhou, give Qin ...... Madame, please be good. ”
She has become You'an's concubine, but it's not good to call her Aunt Qin.
"Get up!" Qin Shu said softly.
Seeing her like this, Qin Shu was actually a little awkward, but she didn't correct her title. After all, she chose this path by herself, and ten cows couldn't pull it back, what could she do?
"Yes, Mrs. Xie." Zhou Zhen'er stood up obediently.
Qin Shu looked at her carefully again, and was about to speak, when she heard Qiu Yun come over again to report: "Madam, Mrs. Xu and Miss Shen are here."
Douling Agent Academy. ”
"Oh?" Hearing that they were coming, Qin Shu was a little surprised, and a little embarrassed.
After all, the matter of You'an's concubine is indeed unkind to the Qin family.
But he nodded and said, "Please let them in." ”
Then, the door curtain was opened, and Mrs. Xu and Shen Jingfang walked in, and to Qin Shu's surprise, Mrs. Xu still had a smile on her face.
"Brother and sister, we came uninvited, I hope you don't be surprised."
She also stood up to greet her, and said, "Where?" I'm too late to be glad you can come! Then he invited them both to take their seats.
The grudge before seems to have not happened.
Mrs. Xu also seemed to forget about the incident, and greeted Qin Shu affectionately for a while, and then turned her eyes to look at Zhou Zhen'er who was standing on the side.
She stepped forward, took her hand, and looked her up and down carefully, seeing that the smile on Zhou Zhen'er's face couldn't be hung up, she clapped her hand and said to Qin Shu with a smile: "It's really a beauty, our Marshal Qin is blessed." Speaking of which, I haven't said hello to Miss Zhou yet! Thankfully, it's not too late. ”
As he spoke, he wiped off a gold-encrusted jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on her wrist.
"Mrs. Xu, this is too precious, I can't do it!" Zhou Zhen'er hurriedly refused.
Mrs. Xu suppressed her hand and pretended to be angry: "Take it!" If you don't take it, you'll look down on me. ”
"This ......" Zhou Zhen'er bit her lip and glanced at Qin Shu, until she saw Qin Shu nodding, she reluctantly accepted it and thanked her for her blessing.
"That's right." Seeing this, Mrs. Xu sat down with a smile.
Shen Jingfang always had a gentle smile on her face, and she didn't have any special feelings when she saw Zhou Zhen'er, and even said hello to her calmly, looking like she was sincere.
However, Zhou Zhen'er was a little at a loss, and her cheeks were red, as if she was the one who did something wrong.
When Qin Shu saw Shen Jingfang like this, a little admiration rose in her heart.
I just don't know if she's really generous, or if she's scheming and hides it too well.
However, Qin Shu prefers the former, or both.
Her son values her so much, and there must be something special about her.
Zhou Zhen'er looked too immature in front of her.
Before, Mrs. Xu's attention was on Zhou Zhen'er, and she didn't pay much attention to Qin Shu, until this moment, she found that Qin Shu was dressed differently from before, and her face suddenly showed a little surprise, she looked at her incredulously, and said half-truthfully: "I originally thought that my younger brother and sister were not young, but I didn't expect that my younger brother and sister looked a few years older than Jingfang when they were dressed like this." If you stand with the marshal, you don't know that you think you are the marshal's sister! ”
Shen Jingfang actually noticed Qin Shu from the beginning, in her eyes, Zhou Zhen'er was far less important than Qin Shu, or rather, she didn't take Zhou Zhen'er seriously at all, her attention was on Qin Shu from beginning to end. Including the moment Qin Shu saw them, the trace of embarrassment and guilt she showed was also in her eyes, and she had a bottom in her heart.
Seeing Qin Shu so young and beautiful, she was not shocked, and even couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart-
Does the marshal really have to be her biological son?
She always found it a little hard to believe.
Even if she was suspicious, she didn't show any signs on her face. She didn't want her to feel bad about herself anymore.
Just hearing Mrs. Xu's words, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at Qin Shu.
Qin Shu didn't explain when she heard this, but just smiled faintly: "Mrs. Xu said that she was laughing, how can it be so exaggerated?" After that, he changed the topic and said, "Mrs. Xu is here, is there anything wrong?" ”
When Mrs. Xu heard her ask, she no longer paid attention to her appearance, nodded and said, "A few years ago, we were planning to move out, so we came over to talk to our younger siblings." ”
Although she resented the Qin family's concubine for slapping the Xu family in the face, since she didn't want to ruin this family business, on the surface, she had to make peace with Qin Shu, otherwise, it would only be the Xu family who suffered. In the future, Jingfang will marry in the past, and she will not be pleased.
"Move out?" Qin Shu asked in surprise.
"Yes, it was only an expedient measure to live in the Marshal's Mansion at the beginning. Now it's time to settle down again. Although living together, the two families seem more intimate, but in the end it is not very convenient. Mrs. Xu said.
This is the result of the Xu family's careful consideration.
Far fragrant and smelly, living together, it is inevitable that there will be contradictions. If they hadn't stayed in the Marshal's Palace, it wouldn't have happened like before.
What's more, the Xu family doesn't want to be constrained all the time, and his ambition is still not extinguished. As long as they live in the Marshal's Mansion, don't try to cultivate their own forces.
Qin Shu heard her say that it was reasonable, but she didn't hold back too much, just sighed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it good to move in a new year? ”
Mrs. Xu smiled: "There are too many things after the year, I'm afraid there is no time." It's better to move while you have time now. ”
……
At the same time, Zhu Cuo led a group of men and horses and fled to the Huaixi border.
When I came, the scenery was infinite, but when I left, I became a lost dog, and the wolf was unbearable, and I couldn't even eat a hot meal.
Now, he hasn't closed his eyes much for several days, and his spirit and body are almost unsupportable.
But after so many days, he still hasn't escaped from Huaixi.
He knew that it was not the Minzhou army that was chasing him, but another force. But, it doesn't matter, he has too many enemies and doesn't care who the other party is.
When he escaped, he brought hundreds of elite soldiers with him, but now, there are only more than 100 people left.
But he still didn't give up hope of survival.
He finally got to his current status, he hasn't lived enough, he hasn't taken revenge, how can he die so cowardly!
