Chapter 212: Filial Piety
h2> Shen Anxi looked at An Rong, pouted, nodded lightly, and couldn't help but say, "Fourth sister, I used to think that the Hou Mansion was very good, everyone loved each other, that is, between the sisters in the mansion, it was normal to take advantage of a little advantage, and it was normal to have a little quarrel, but since my body has gradually improved, I have found that they are not as I thought, just like the eldest lady, she loved you so much before, I think she treats you better than the fifth sister, but she will steal your secret recipe and slander you for having an affair with someone." ”
After a pause, Shen Anxi said again, "And when my father asked for the position of ordnance supervisor, I thought that the second uncle would help my father for sure, and I heard my grandmother say that between brothers, there is not only brotherhood but also interests, I don't like the second uncle, and the third sister is ......." ”
As he spoke, Shen Anxi's eyes turned red, "Why do they pretend, if they don't like it, they don't like it, what's the point of pretending to deceive people?" ”
Shen Anxi hugged An Rong and cried very sadly, she didn't know who she could trust except her grandmother, her father and her second brother.
An Rong patted Shen Anxi's shoulder and said with a smile, "You are still young, in the past, my grandmother and third aunt were worried that you would not be able to support you, so they protected you very well, and did not teach you these filthy things, in fact, how did they teach me, I also found out slowly, you must remember that there will not be a person in this world who will dig out his heart and lungs to another person for no reason, watch and listen more, and some things must be learned to hide in the bottom of his heart and remain silent." ”
Shen Anxi raised his eyes blankly and looked at An Rong, his little brows twisted, "Fourth sister, you are very good to me, and Daddy and them, it can be said that you have poured out your heart and lungs, aren't you sincere?" ”
An Rong couldn't help but pat Shen Anxi's head and scolded, "Of course I'm sincere, of course, I also have some purpose, I hope that the third room is good, the second brother has a bright future, he can become the right-hand man of the eldest brother, and our Hou Mansion can become a first-class family in Kyoto." ”
Shen Anxi pouted, what kind of purpose is this, this is obviously the family rule of our Hou Mansion.
The two of them stood aside and talked, and a maid came over to urge them.
The two of them had no choice but to continue walking.
On the way, Shen Anxi continued to ask about the fourth wife, and An Rong decided to teach her how to find out the good and bad of a person.
Although she doesn't know much about it, she knows more than Shen Anxi, and An Rong thinks she knows.
walked all the way into Songhe Courtyard, and soon, An Rong was confused.
Because the maids in the Songhe courtyard roared, there was only one thing to talk about, that is, the fourth room returned to Beijing and gave the old lady a meeting gift.
Golden Toad.
Two golden toads.
The golden toad is precious, rare and rare, full of treasures, it is said that even a drop of urine of the golden toad is worth a thousand taels.
Such a precious thing, the fourth room was actually given to the old lady.
If this is taken out and given to the princess, whether it is seeking officials or money, it will be a very cheap thing.
Shen Anxi looked at An Rong, her eyebrows were light, she questioned An Rong's words a little, how good is the fourth aunt to her grandmother?
An Rong was also frowning.
How so?
The day and hour of Sifang's return to Beijing are similar to those in his previous life, why are the gifts he gave different?
In the previous life, it was obviously a pair of hundred-year-old ginseng, which was used by the grandmother to condition the body, and the grandmother was very happy, especially the father, but also for the four masters to stay in Beijing.
In his previous life, his father didn't have that ability, but this time it was different, his father helped, and it was easy for him to stay in Beijing in the fourth room.
Could it be that the fourth wife smelled the wind and heard that her grandmother had a mountain ginseng in her hand, so she took out the golden toad?
But if there was a golden toad in the fourth room in the previous life, what else would you want your father to help do, what could the golden toad do?
The more An Rong thought about it, the more confused he became, could it be that he was reborn for more than a month, could it be that even Yuzhou was affected?
An Rong stepped into the house.
Inside, it's bustling.
Shen Anqian gave her embroidered needle and thread, and the old lady was very happy and rewarded her with a set of expensive headdresses.
Shen Anxi pursed his lips on the side, pushed An Rong and said, "That seems to be the New Year's gift that my grandmother prepared for the fourth sister." ”
The corners of An Rong's mouth arced slightly, and he said with a smile, "Grandmother got a pair of golden toads, whether it is the meaning or the value, grandmother should reward her with a generous gift." ”
Shen Anxi's eyes widened, her eyes were full of admiration, if she were to be replaced by her, she would definitely be unhappy, no matter how good Jin Toad is, isn't it just like that, how much did the fourth sister help the Hou Mansion, how can a four-room who just came back be compared?
But the fourth sister is so generous, Shen Anxi feels that it is necessary for her to cultivate with An Rong.
The fourth wife gave gifts one by one, and the third wife was very embarrassed, she also prepared a lot of gifts at the beginning, but they were all destroyed, and later because the house was busy, only An Rong's was supplemented.
She is not as thoughtful as Mrs. Four.
In a blink of an eye, the fourth lady came over with two brocade boxes, the small one on the top was for Shen Anxi, and the big one on the bottom was for An Rong.
Shen Anxi's is a white fox cloak.
Graceful is a sable cloak.
The white fox cloak was a gift to Shen Anyu in his previous life.
The sable cloak was a gift for the Grand Lady.
Unexpectedly, in this life, it was all cheap for her and Shen Anxi.
The gifts of the second wife and the third wife, as well as those in the house, seem to be similar to those in the previous life.
As for the private delivery, An Rong doesn't know, but An Rong thinks, it shouldn't be better than the third wife, right?
That's how the fourth wife can behave.
Some people have face on the surface, and some people have lost benefits in private, and when they look back and show off, they still get face.
Shen Anxi liked the white fox cloak very much, and looked at An Rong with her eyes several times, which made An Rong very embarrassed, she really didn't say it wrong, the fourth wife is really that kind of person.
An Rong was very big, pursed his lips and said, "What did I lie to you, the fourth lady gave us a gift, but the eldest lady's share, she will still give it, I don't believe you let the maid check." ”
Shen Anxi frowned, "No, the eldest lady was grounded and stole your secret recipe, so you should stay away, why do you still give gifts?" ”
Shen Anxi didn't believe it.
But An Rong looked at her very firmly.
Shen Anxi bit his lip and gave Lu Liu a look.
At this time, the fourth wife's gift was also finished, and she also asked the old lady to say goodbye, and the old lady remembered her tiring journey, so she asked her to go back to Nanyuan to rest, and then come to eat the dust banquet in the evening.
An Rong and Shen Anxi were playing in the warm pavilion.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Liu came back, came to Shen Anxi's side, and said in a low voice, "Girl, what the fourth girl said is right, the fourth lady went to give a gift to the eldest lady, and she went in person." ”
Shen Anxi's brows furrowed, and the white fox cloak didn't like it very much.
An Rong looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.
Soon, Peony returned.
Seeing that only Xia He was serving in the house, and Lu Liu was also a loyal person, she still kept her voice low, "Girl, the slave maid inquired clearly, when Jin Toad was at the post station, someone gave it to the fourth master, it seems that it is because the Hou Mansion is now prosperous, and the Hou Mansion is in full swing." ”
Shen Anxi was displeased when he heard this, "I thought it was the fourth uncle who begged to honor his grandmother, and the feelings were for others to slap them in the face of the Marquis of Wu'an, but it was just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Lu Liu couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid that I sent Jin Toad because I had something to ask for, and now I gave it to the old lady, and I said that I received it for the old lady, so Master Hou had to come forward to help." ”
It's not that Sifang hasn't done this before, and Hou Ye has no choice but to do it.
An Rong frowned, and suddenly felt unhappy.
She doesn't like the gifts given by the old men and juniors in the house with a purpose, and they have a good reputation for filial piety, but the result is to take advantage, this is treating people as monkeys!
When he went back, when people gave Jin Toad, they just said to make a friend, and now that my friend is in trouble, what should I do, I want to return Jin Toad to others......
But how can it be returned, the golden toad is in the hands of the old lady, and the old lady likes it very much.
Only his father went against his conscience and morality to help.
The more An Rong thought about it, the more angry he became, and the embroidered handkerchief in his hand was torn.
Shen Anxi has a straightforward temperament, and wants to tell the old lady directly, don't accept this golden toad, but the old lady can't take her eyes off the golden toad.
Shen Anxi couldn't open his mouth, and turned to look at An Rong.
An Rong twisted his eyebrows lightly and smiled.
Since the fourth room gave such a big gift, the old lady accepted it, so it was natural to use it to the extreme.
An Rong stepped out, and Mother Sun happened to ask the old lady outside, "How can you raise such a precious thing, it is full of treasures, and the next person is not at ease when he looks at it." ”
The old lady frowned slightly, it is easy to raise a toad, but it is difficult for a golden toad, and the difficulty lies in the carefulness of people.
An Rong sat down with the old lady or something, looked at the pair of golden toads and said with a smile, "Grandmother's body is unwell, this is just useful for the golden toad, isn't it also for use?" ”
The old lady fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand, shook her head and smiled, "My illness can be made by taking Dr. Liu's medicine, and I don't need such a precious thing." ”
The old lady wanted to give Jin Toad away, so that the Hou Mansion could have a better future.
An Rong was waiting for this sentence, she knew that the old lady would not use the golden toad.
An Rong said with a smile, "Grandmother, the Queen Mother is not feeling well, and when she turned around, Jin Toad peed, and filled two drops to send the Queen Mother to ......." ”
The old lady frowned, and said with disgust, "Don't talk nonsense, how can the Queen Mother use the urine of the golden toad?" ”
However, Anrong's words gave the old lady a wake-up call.
The queen mother is unwell, and the emperor has a lot of heart for this matter.
The golden toad has an excellent healing effect, and if it is dedicated to the emperor, it is undoubtedly a piece of filial piety to the emperor.
It's just that this is Sifang's filial piety to her, and she turned her face and gave people a little reluctant.
The old lady was a little hesitant.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, the old lady still instructed the maid to find the Hou Ye.
Soon, Hou Ye came.
The old lady handed the brocade box containing the golden toad to the Hou Ye, and said with reluctance in her eyes, "These two golden toads, you can send them to the palace to the emperor, and see if it will help the queen mother's illness." ”R1152
