219 Shen Mansion (2)
"Big sister, if you look at me like this again, I really won't be able to stay." Shen Rouning tilted her head slightly, revealing a slightly mischievous smile.
This smile made Shen Roubing suddenly remember that the "ladies of all" in her mouth was actually very immature in terms of age...... Shen Roubing was a little embarrassed all of a sudden. She picked up the topic just now and said softly, "Qinglan them...... I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. She shook her head: "My father only saw the wealth and glory in the future, but he forgot that the wealth and glory were so good." ”
"The eldest sister has also begun to think about this......" Shen Rouning chuckled: "It seems that the eldest sister is very satisfied with her brother-in-law...... "If you are not satisfied with your own situation, how can you have the heart to worry about others." Shen Rouning didn't want to comment on how Master Shen San and Mrs. Shen San were, nor did she comment on the two sisters. Just like just now, when Qinglan and the others talked about being selected, they were full of glory and pride, so Shen Rouning would not pour cold water, but would only congratulate them with a smile.
First, or Shen Rouning is a little indifferent to family affection, Shen Rouning feels that there is no love between her and the Qinglan sisters. She is reluctant to do things that are simple and deep.
Second, Shen Rouning has always believed that no matter who you are, you must be responsible for your choice. Since Qinglan's entry into the palace is the common choice of Shen San and his wife...... Then why should she, an outsider, say anything.
Shen Roubing's pretty face turned red.
But she didn't twist and retort, and said in a low voice: "I only heard that he is a person who values love and righteousness." Such a person should be a good person. After a pause, she said softly: "Qi family...... Now and then. I'll send something. ”
"This chrysanthemum tea is the first thing they sent."
Shen Rouning looked down at the tea cup in her hand, a few elegant and delicate white chrysanthemums were completely stretched out in the hot water, and in the pale cyan green glazed cup, it was very pleasing to the eye. She took a sip and bowed slightly.
This is a fine flower tea.
However, it is also possible to buy it.
But the Qi family will send these, not because of the value of this flower tea, but because of the act itself. This obviously shows that the Qi family attaches great importance to Shen Roubing, the bride. So. Shen Roubing will have a good life in the future. This is already predictable.
Shen Rouning was really happy for Shen Roubing.
She took another big sip with a smile and said, "Sister, this tea is really delicious." Well, shouldn't my brother-in-law hear that my sister is embroidering a dowry and spending eyes. So it was sent on purpose, right? ”
Shen Roubing's face was blushing. There is a touching friendship hidden in the eye waves. Nodding slowly, he said in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Shen Rouning was dumbfounded: "It's really true!" ”
She had the ability to laugh, but she didn't expect it to be right.
"Then congratulations to my sister!" Shen Rouning really felt very happy. said some of Chen Houyun's comments about Qi Huanzhi and said, "...... I was also worried that such an infatuated person would be indifferent and hateful to the newcomer...... But my cousin said that although Qi Huanzhi is affectionate, he is also sensible, and he has his own set of persistence and standards in his heart. When he is willing to marry again, it proves that he has said goodbye to his former deceased wife and will be willing to value and cherish the person in front of him. ”
Qi Huanzhi can definitely be regarded as an affectionate person.
He clearly knew that of course his childhood sweetheart's lover was weak and couldn't have children, but he still married someone into the family despite the strong opposition of the people in his family, and he cherished it. After her death, he also religiously kept the festival alone for her for three full years.
It's remarkable.
As the eldest son of the Qi family, he acted like this, it was simply bent on going his own way! In the past ten years, he has endured a lot of extraordinary pressure!
But he has always been persistent and uncompromising.
When Shen Rouning heard about his situation, she thought that he had finally compromised...... But unexpectedly, he let go, no longer clinging to the past, and chose to move forward again.
Mr. Chen is affectionate and has never remarried, that is because he already has two sons and a daughter, and it is not necessary to remarry, he can do whatever he wants, and he will always remember his deceased wife. And Qi Huanzhi, as the eldest in the family, did not leave a trace of blood. If you don't marry again and pass on the ancestry, it is a big unfilial piety to carry your ancestors.
Shen Rouning figured this out, looked at Shen Roubing, and sighed with some emotion.
She didn't believe that Mrs. Shen San chose this family business out of the heart of Shen Roubing's happiness. She would rather believe that the seventeen-year-old age when Mrs. Shen San's third wife dragged Shen Roubing's family affair all the way to was already a very dangerous age, and then chose this family affair for her, which must have inhumane secret thoughts. At least, she values the benefits of this-
One of Qi Huanzhi's second uncles used to be Shen San's local boss. Master Shen San was able to be transferred back to the capital from the local government, but he took the path of the Qi family. After entering Beijing, Master Shen San and Mrs. Shen San naturally would not be estranged from this relationship, but because Master Qi Er was not in the capital, the relationship between the two families was not very close, and it was not to the point that the juniors were familiar with each other.
Obviously, Mrs. Shen San knew the Qi family's worries and embarrassments about Qi Huanzhi's remarriage, so she took the initiative to hint that she had a daughter of the right age to be married in her family.
If Qi Huanzhi hadn't figured it out for himself, he would continue to be infatuated with the old man...... The living can't compete with the dead. Then, whoever marries Qi Huanzhi will probably be a tragedy.
Mrs. Shen San probably didn't expect that Qi Huanzhi would figure it out and look at the new person. Of course, what she has to be busy with now is the entry of Qinglan and the two into the palace, and what she has to worry about is the conflict between Shen San's master and Shen Duansong's father and son...... Nine times out of ten, Mrs. Shen San didn't have time to pay attention to Shen Roubing here.
The Qi family kept sending things to Shen Roubing, and Mrs. Shen San would definitely be happy to think that she had contributed Shen Roubing to solve the Qi family's troubles with Qi Huanzhi...... The Qi family values Shen Roubing, so they must receive their love! Therefore, Mrs. Shen San shouldn't think too much.
I don't know, in the future, if Qinglan and the two have a hard time in the palace, or even when Xiang Xiaoyu dies, but Shen Roubing has a smooth life...... What kind of expression would Mrs. Shen San have?
It's not Shen Rouning who is maliciously cursing: that splendid court. It has always been a burial place that can swallow people's lives without moving. There, what six or seven masters, their lives are as fragile as the lives of those palace maids!
A full thirty show girls who passed the primary selection are estimated to be eliminated five or six more when they learn the palace rules and etiquette in the second election, and finally more than 20 people successfully stayed in the deep palace to compete for the ethereal emperor's favor, the danger can be imagined! Those who are slightly unsmart and unlucky will die quickly!
Anyway, Shen Rouning thought. The two Qinglan sisters are not very smart. Even if Shen Roulan seems to be a little scheming. People are also more stable, but her scheming and steadiness are probably not very good-looking.
Shen Rouning is not optimistic about the two.
In her previous life, she had spent her entire life in that place. In her previous life, she was not as quick thinking as she is now. She was able to survive to the end. Simply because she never wanted to fight for anything. No matter what the occasion, there is almost no presence. There was no direct conflict of interest, and there was no value to be exploited, which has survived. I also silently learned some wisdom for survival.
"Eldest sister, you will live well." Shen Rouning put aside her thoughts and asked Shen Roubing with a smile: "I don't know if I have the honor to appreciate the eldest sister's wedding dress?" It must be pretty. ”
Shen Rouning stayed in Shen Roubing's courtyard until Shen Roulan came to find her and Shen Duanrong to go out for dinner, and she said goodbye to Shen Roubing and said that she would see her another day. When dining with Mrs. Shen Si and a few people, Shen Duanyu was not there, and everyone else in the family was there, gathered around a table, and finished the meal silently.
At first, Tian stood behind Mrs. Shen San and quietly clothed vegetables. After Shen Rouning looked at her a few more times in surprise, Mrs. Shen San came to her senses, turned her head and said softly to Tian: "There are no outsiders here, you can do it, go and sit down." ”
Tian Shi was slightly stunned, and lowered his eyebrows and responded.
The maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly added a chair and a pair of chopsticks to Tian's family.
In other words, there was no seat for Tian here. She will continue to serve Mrs. Shen San when she runs out, and I don't know when she can hurry down to eat a few bites.
Mrs. Shen San obviously understood this, and couldn't help glaring at Tian. Obviously, the seats, dishes and chopsticks were all arranged by Tian. She remembered adding two chairs to Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong, but she forgot that she also needed one, especially the dishes and chopsticks. Even if she didn't have it before, she had to have it when there were guests.
Mrs. Shen San probably decided in her heart that this was intentional by the Tian family. And Tian Shi received Mrs. Shen's gaze, and also understood the thoughts that Mrs. Shen San would have, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head and sat down, with a wry smile on the corner of his lips.
In the following time, although the atmosphere was a little subtly depressing, there were no more accidents. Shen Rouning did not continue to focus on Tian.
After the meal, the maidservants served fragrant tea.
"Since your brother and sister have gone home, why don't you live in your own house?" Mrs. Shen Si smiled kindly: "The yard where you lived before has always been kept." ”
"It's my grandfather who doesn't allow it, and the two of us, as juniors, can only be obedient." Shen Rouning smiled: "And I also think that my home will always have a chance to come back." ”
"Yes." Mrs. Shen San laughed and expressed her satisfaction with Shen Rouning's answer. She was very happy to see that Old Man Chen and the Chen family valued and loved Shen Rouning's sister and brother, so that the Shen family and the Chen family could be more closely connected, not like the former Deng family, who were obviously relatives, but they were very estranged. "After a few years, your father will be able to transfer back to the capital after he has some qualifications. It's not as comfortable outside as the capital. ”
Shen Rouning smiled decently and didn't say anything more. She sat down for a while, then made an excuse, said goodbye and left the main courtyard, and went to the courtyard of the Qinglan sisters to talk. Shen Duanrong led Shen Rouche to speak curiously, her eyes flashed, and she didn't know if she remembered that if she had a sister in the future, she would be so innocent and cute.
Before they left, Mrs. Shen San stopped Tian, looked Tian up and down a few times, and said lightly: "In the future, you should worry less about things at home, don't get tired." In addition, you should go back and tell someone to call a doctor and prescribe some medicine to recuperate. ”
"You and Duanyu have also been married for almost four years, and there has been no news, and it is not a thing."
Tian's body trembled, and he hurriedly answered "yes".
She knew in her heart that what was supposed to come was still coming. Mrs. Shen San didn't care about whether she had a child or not, and she didn't have to toss her with this, that was because Mrs. Shen San probably thought in her heart that it didn't make much sense to find her trouble with a concubine or something. Of course, it is also because she herself has always been cautious and obedient and sensible.
And today, apparently she was negligent for a while, which annoyed Mrs. Shen San.
Mrs. Shen San probably thought that Tian had always been honest and obedient, and after a little warning, she let her go.
Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong played with Qinglan and the others for a long time, and when it was time to go down, they didn't wait for Master Shen San to come back, so they went to say goodbye to Mrs. Shen San. Mrs. Shen San asked Shen Duanyu to send them back.
"Fifth brother, why have you and your sister-in-law never had children?" On the way, Shen Rouning cautiously asked Shen Duanyu: "If there is anything to help, the fifth brother must tell me." ”
Shen Duanyu was stunned for a moment before replying, "It's because I don't want to have a child too early." ”
He doesn't have much desire for children right now. What he always thought about was that after he won the promotion, he would find a small official position in another place, lead the Tian family over, and then consider having a child. Having a child early is another bond.
Shen Rouning was also stunned for a moment.
She hesitated for a moment before reminding Shen Duanyu and said, "Fifth brother, you have been married for four years...... There is no news, and outsiders don't know how to guess the Tian family. If you find out that there is no such thing as intercourse between their young couples, it is estimated that Shen Duanyu will have to think elsewhere.
Shen Duanyu understood what Shen Rouning meant and nodded. He was silent for a moment and said, "Fourth Uncle said that I should go to Yueyang Academy to study hard, and I will also persuade my father to let me bring your sister-in-law with me......"
A few went out to the academy to study hard and brought their wives with them.
It is estimated that this persuasion is also very reluctant.
Shen Rouning rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Does Fifth Brother know?" There is a Niangniang temple in Yueyang, and it is very effective to ask for a child. The fifth brother might as well tell the third uncle and let the sister-in-law give it a try. Moreover, my mother is pregnant now, and I am young...... If my sister-in-law goes, she will definitely be able to help us a lot. ”
Shen Duanyu has not had children for four years, and according to normal people's thoughts, there will definitely be a knot. If there is a knot, it will affect the effect of reading. Master Shen San also hoped that his eldest son would become a talent, and with this in mind, he should agree to go with the Tian family.
What's more, Fourth Master Shen served as his parents' official there, and the Tian family went, not afraid that there would be no proper place to settle down. Coupled with the reason that he had to take care of Mrs. Shen Si, who was pregnant and gave birth, Master Shen San had no way to refuse Tian to leave. (To be continued......)
