Chapter 183: Awareness (5K5, two more in one for a monthly pass)
"Alas, Yongjie, since you can't tolerate sand in your eyes, how did you marry that kind of family in the first place? Don't you look down on any of the good men of the three-marquis and five-phase family? Lu Ruifeng saw that Shen Yongjie didn't buy it, and his face couldn't get over it, so he put down his chopsticks, with a little pity on his face, and a little ridicule. He looked at her with mixed emotions and said.
Everyone knows that when Shen Yongjie got married at that time, the Situ family was just a small merchant who was not in the East Yuan Kingdom.
Later, Situ Jianren was able to become the No. 1 imperial merchant in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, or after Shen Yongjie married him......
is such a businessman who made a fortune by climbing on his wife's nepotism, and as soon as Shen Yongjie died, he was busy marrying a poor widow to fill the house, and changed the oil bottle brought by the poor widow to his surname, which hurt more than his own child. - With such a family background, Shen Yongjie doesn't feel ashamed? And the face to say about yourself?
Shen Yongjie was already accustomed to this kind of sour words when she got married at the beginning of the year, she just didn't expect that such words would come out of her handkerchief.
"Ruifeng, this kind of thing, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, I thought you understood." Shen Yongjie smiled, "It seems that I thought wrong." Today, I want to talk about the wedding date of my two children. But you say you can't be the master, so that's it. When Changxinghou comes back, I will send a post to invite him to come over and discuss with our master. - Farewell! β
Seeing Shen Yongjie simply get up and leave neatly, Lu Ruifeng was in a hurry.
If you really go directly to Hou Ye to tell him about the marriage date, then this pro will definitely become......
But as soon as she thought that this family affair turned out to be the queen's intention, she felt that ten thousand arrows pierced her heart!
"Yongjie. You can't talk to me anymore, you've really changed, you're not the same as before. Lu Ruifeng stood up in disdain. Took a few steps forward.
Shen Yongjie turned her head, glanced her up and down, and said lightly: "Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable." - Ruifeng, I remember clearly what you said when you asked to marry Sleeve Sleeve as your wife. But you can't remember a word, can you? β
ββ¦β¦ Of course not. I remember it clearly! You have been absent for so many years, everyone thinks you are dead, you go and ask me if I have neglected the Situ family? Lu Ruifeng's eyes flashed. Wrapping the linen veil in his hand, he didn't dare to meet Shen Yongjie's sharp gaze.
Shen Yongjie thought of the past two months, and what the sleeves said to her did mention that their sister and brother had been in Situ's house in the past ten years. If it weren't for the support of the relatives of the Marquis of Changxing. She had long been stepped on by her father and Zhang......
She closed her eyes, took a long breath, and said slowly: "I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the door to discuss marriage with you in person with a shy face." Ruifeng, you give me an accurate word, this pro, is it successful or not? β
Lu Ruifeng saw this. Busy said: "Cheng, of course it will be done!" Wait for Hou Ye to come back. I'll let him go to your house and discuss the marriage date with Master Situ! β
"That's good." Shen Yongjie nodded, stretched out her hand and pointed into the room, "I'm going back, don't send it." β
Lu Ruifeng stopped, and watched Shen Yongjie leave with a faint gaze.
As soon as Shen Yongjie left, Lu Ruifeng called his henchman and mother-in-law over and said, "Call the son over to talk." β
Murong Changqing had been running on the school yard all morning, sweating profusely, and was about to go back to the room to take a bath, when he heard his little servant say that his mother told him to go in and talk immediately. β
Murong Changqing didn't change his clothes, hurriedly came to the upper room of the inner courtyard, and saluted Lu Ruifeng: "Mother, is there something wrong?" So anxious to call my son in? β
Lu Ruifeng looked at him with a smile and said, "My whole body is sweaty, my face is tanned, come and drink some iced sour plum soup." β
Murong Changqing sat down to drink sour plum soup, and Lu Ruifeng sat beside him with a double-sided embroidered cat butterfly fan in his hand, and said idly: "Mrs. Shen just came here today, saying that she wants to discuss the marriage between you and Yingsleeve......" While saying, he secretly observed Murong Changqing's reaction.
When Murong Changqing heard this, his tanned face turned even redder, and he asked a little anxiously, "Is that a certain day?" β
"Huh? Are you still in a hurry? Didn't you be very dissatisfied with Yingsleeve a while ago? I thought it was ......" Lu Ruifeng's eyes rolled, and his fanning hand stopped.
"At that time, I was very angry, but she went back to Jiangnan and picked up her mother, which can be regarded as a merit more than a demerit." Murong Changqing drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup cleanly.
The maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly sent a towel and a copper bowl for washing, let Murong Changqing rinse his mouth, and then wiped his face and combed his hair.
Lu Ruifeng said "um" and said, "That's good." When your father comes back, you will have to discuss the date of marriage with the Situ family. Next year, after the sleeves and hair, there will be a happy event. At home, I have thought about it, just build a new yard next to the yard where you live, and circle the yard where you live now to sit across the yard, what do you think? β
Murong Changqing was even more happy, nodded and said, "It's all up to my mother's arrangement!" β
Lu Ruifeng stared at Murong Changqing, trying to find out the similarity with Empress Qi Xueyun from his face, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see it.
Murong Changqing was really born exactly like his father Murong Chen, so until he was seventeen years old, no one knew that Murong Changqing was not her own......
Lu Ruifeng lowered his eyes, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said, "I will naturally plan for you." You have been going to Situ Mansion more recently, talking to Yingsleeve, she has been married to you since she was born, you two are not ordinary love, you have to treat her well. Also, the osmanthus banquet prepared by your Aunt Shen in Situ Mansion, I am not in good health, so I can't go, and your Aunt Shen is very unhappy. You also know that if we don't go to the Situ family, we will slap them in the face, and they won't look like it in the eyes of others, so you must go. By the way, help me apologize to Aunt Shen, go around more, and help their family support the osmanthus feast. β
Murong Changqing smiled and nodded, got up and responded.
The mother and son said a few more words before letting Murong Changqing go down.
After Murong Changqing left, Lu Ruifeng sat silently for a while, and then ordered someone to take a few rulers and a crown of plum blossoms and beads, and put them in a big gift box. Ordered someone to send Situ Darkincense over, saying that he was thanking Situ Darkincense for making her shoes and wiping her forehead.
Situ Dark Fragrance doesn't say anything else, one-handed needlework is really superb.
Starting from Situ Ying's sleeve and Situ Chenlei went down to Jiangnan to pick up Shen Yongjie's spiritual position. Situ Dianxiang began to run to the Changxing Marquis Mansion very diligently.
At the beginning, he didn't dare to ask to see Lu Ruifeng, the wife of the Marquis of Changxing, but just kowtowed to her outside the courtyard with the mother-in-law who gave the gift.
Coincidentally, every time he kowtowed, he was met by Murong Changqing, who came to ask for peace.
Murong Changqing values the girl family who is well-behaved the most.
Situ Yanxiang's previous affair with Lu Chengyuan, the fourth young master of the Lu family, caused a storm in the city, which made Murong Changqing very unhappy to see her.
But after Situ Yanxiang kowtowed for a month, Murong Changqing finally changed his opinion of her. Believing that she was innocently affected.
Later, after Shen Yongjie came back, Situ Dixiang couldn't go out casually.
But in the past two months, Situ Yanxiang made eight pairs of shoes for Lu Ruifeng. There are soft-soled big red mandarin duck sleeping shoes, walking shoes in plum-blue satin soap with mille-feuille bottoms, and several pairs of home-worn gold velvet embroidered shoes, stone blue, ochre blue, moon white, and crimson. The colors are very attractive. The insole is densely embroidered with five bats holding longevity. The stitches are fine, and it is even more comfortable to touch in the hand.
Lu Ruifeng originally didn't wear shoes made by others, but as soon as the shoes made by Situ Dian Xiang were on her feet, she couldn't take them off.
If you accept someone's shoes, of course, you have to return the gift.
Besides, Situ Yingsleeve didn't say anything to her, and when the two were compared, it showed that Situ Yingsleeve, the sister, was ignorant.
Lu Ruifeng held the tea cup and walked to the chrysanthemum garden in the backyard. Pour hot tea over the roots of the green peony that she had cut off.
Seeing that the roots of the flower were burned and rotted, she felt refreshed.
β¦β¦
Situ Fuli. Not long after Shen Yongjie went back, she heard her mother-in-law report that Mrs. Changxinghou had sent a gift box to the second lady.
This kind of thing that is sent in from the outside to the female relatives of the inner courtyard must be reported to the housewife for knowing, and then the housewife will register it and then send it to the female family's room.
If you don't go through this formality, you will receive it privately.
Shen Yongjie has been recuperating since she came back, and she has only recently gotten better and can get up to be the director of the house.
After listening to her mother-in-law's report, she glanced at Mama Shen, "What's the matter?" β
Lu Ruifeng specially gave Situ Dark Fragrance a gift, there must be a reason.
Mama Shen thought for a moment and said, "It should be a return gift for the second young lady." As he spoke, he told Situ Dianxiang about making shoes and wiping her forehead for Mrs. Changxinghou for the past two months.
"Oh? Who sent it to her? Shen Yongjie picked up the tea cup and moistened her lips, she didn't think that Mama Shen would take the initiative to help her send it out.
Mama Shen attached to her ear and whispered, "...... It's the master. β
Situ Jianren stepped forward and asked the steward of the outer courtyard to give Situ Yanxiang's things to Mrs. Changxinghou.
Shen Yongjie listened, only to feel a tightness in her chest.
What's going on!
Helping other people's daughters to please their own daughter's future mother-in-law, is she still shameless?!
Shen Yongjie was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand to the ground with a clatter, and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" β
Mama Shen was suffocated, and didn't dare to say that it was Situ Yingsleeve who asked her not to say it, so she knelt down and said, "It's the slave's fault." β
"Mama, get up! It's none of your business! Situ Yingsleeve heard the movement in the room, and hurriedly walked in three steps and two steps, glanced at Mama Shen, and asked her to go out quickly.
Shen Mama didn't dare to move, and glanced at Shen Yongjie.
Shen Yongjie knew that this matter was the handiwork of Yingsleeve, so she had to nod and let Mama Shen go out.
When Mama Shen went out, she took the maids in the house away and stood under the dripping eaves at the door.
Situ Yingsleeve circled his small fist, slapped Shen Yongjie's back, and said with a smile: "Mother, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger." β
If you are even angry about this, then you are not dizzy when you know what her father has done?
Situ Yingsleeve didn't want her mother, who had worked so hard to survive, to be delayed by this kind of.
"Degassing? Tell me, how do you get rid of your anger? Shen Yongjie held her hand and didn't let her continue to beat it, "You say, Dark Fragrance made shoes for Mrs. Changxinghou, and your father sent them to others, and now they even sent them back gifts, you say, what is this called?" β
Shen Yongjie raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and muttered, "Neither one or two are fuel-efficient lamps......"
Situ Yingsleeve stood up and walked behind Shen Yongjie. Two fingers pressed her head and began to massage her gently, while saying, "Mother." Don't be angry with Dark Fragrance and Daddy. It's one thing to make shoes with dark incense, it's another thing for others to be willing to accept them. Think about it, isn't that the reason? β
Saying this, Shen Yongjie also came back to her senses.
Yes, it stands to reason that Situ Yanxiang has nothing to do with the Changxing Marquis Mansion. Lu Ruifeng shouldn't have accepted the shoes she made at all.
As a result, she not only accepted, but also received it more than once, and gave a valuable return gift. said she was satisfied......
That's kind of interesting.
Situ Yingsleeve didn't do any needlework for Lu Ruifeng.
Of course, her poor needlework is also a reason.
The two pairs of pants that Xie Dongli changed are still in the sewing cabinet in her room. It's not done yet.
"Hmm. My mother also knows this reason. But there are a lot of things that you don't think about, and those things may not happen. So in the final analysis, the person who started is the most hateful. Shen Yongjie narrowed her eyes, and then ordered: "Send those things back to Mrs. Changxinghou, just say, there is no merit, and I, the head of the house, did not give her a single gift." I wonder if she returned the gift or was wrong? β
According to the etiquette of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, the female dependents gave gifts to the female dependents. It is the main mother who presides over the feed in the house. When a man gives a gift to a man, then he only needs to pass the guΓ² male host and the outer court steward.
Situ Yanxiang's shoes and forehead wiping were sent to the Changxing Marquis Mansion by Situ Jianren, the male host, who ordered the steward of the outer courtyard, to be sent to the Changxing Marquis, not to the Changxing Marquis's wife Lu Ruifeng.
When Lu Ruifeng got it, it was unreasonable.
She just used it secretly, and dared to blatantly return the salute to disgust Shen Yongjie and Situ Yingsleeve.
Shen Yongjie knew that what Lu Ruifeng valued most in her life was her reputation for being "pure and flawless".
Because if the housewife of the Situ family does not admit that this gift was given by a woman, it is Lu Ruifeng who accepted the gift from the man of the Situ family......
At worst, it is unchaste. To put it mildly, it is a lack of strict governance.
No matter what the result, it is Lu Ruifeng who steals chickens and rice.
Shen Yongjie sent the return gift back this time, not only slapped Lu Ruifeng's face in the face, but also made her feel like swallowing a fly, not only was she so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak, but she also had to hide the work that Situ Dianxiang did for her, and it was impossible to publicize it anymore.
It's just that although this face was beaten back, Shen Yongjie was not happy.
What is there to be happy about slapping her daughter's future mother-in-law in the face?
In this way, if the daughter marries in the future, sooner or later it will be returned to the daughter.
But if you don't fight back, the consequences will be even stricter, and I don't know what more disgusting things will be done.
Shen Yongjie looked at Situ Ying's snow-white side face with a faint pink in a daze, and for the first time, she had doubts about the family business she had set at the beginning.
Changxing Hou Mansion, is it really a good home for her daughter?
She herself suffered from "focusing on the overall situation", and her daughter can no longer be the same as herself.
"Sleeves, what do you think of Murong Gongzi? You whisper to sΓΉ mother, don't be shy. Shen Yongjie took Situ Ying's hand and asked heartily.
Situ Yingsleeve looked at Shen Yongjie with emotion.
Through the half-empty moon cave window behind her, she could see the blue autumn sky.
A line of geese is arranged in a herringbone shape, swaying and flying through the sky.
The Xifu begonias at the gate of the yard floated out a faint fragrance, and the small pink flowers were piled up like snow, heavy, and hung down the branches one by one.
The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear the sound of falling flowers.
In this silence, there is a kind of heartwarming warmth and composure spreading.
That's what it's like to be a mother, right?
You can say anything to her, and you don't have to worry about whether it is unreasonable, and you don't have to worry about whether you will be ridiculed or spread to other people's ears.
This feeling is similar to how Master feels about her.
But the master is a man, and she can't tell a man what her little daughters are thinking......
Situ Yingsleeve made a grimace in her heart, nested in Shen Yongjie's arms, and said in a low voice: "Mother, it's hard to say how Murong Gongzi is, because I don't know him very well. But I know that Mrs. Murong's attitude is very strange. I don't know if she likes me or not. β
"How so? Mrs. Changxing is embarrassed for you? β
Situ Yingsleeve shook her head, she remembered that in the ten years she had been waiting for in her previous life, Mrs. Changxinghou did not come forward to let her get married, but blindly asked her to wait......
From the age of twelve to the age of twenty-two, if she didn't have an accident that year, she felt that she would wait for a lifetime, and she would not be able to marry into the Changxing Marquis Mansion.
In this life, Murong Changqing was much warmer to her than in the previous life.
But his mother Lu Ruifeng's attitude has not changed at all.
Now that her mother has come back alive, Lu Ruifeng's attitude should have changed, but today there is a drama of giving Situ Dark Xiang a return gift.
This was a resounding slap in the face of Situ Yingsleeve and Shen Yongjie!
ββ¦β¦ Mother, I think you should inquire carefully, Mrs. Changxinghou, why has her attitude changed. Situ Yingsleeve thought about it, but still planned to bring up this issue.
She remembered that when she first came to the capital, Lu Ruifeng treated her much better than now, and she didn't pay attention to Situ Yanxiangli at all.
But two years have passed, especially after they came back from Jiangnan, Lu Ruifeng's attitude has suddenly changed.
not only to Situ dark fragrance and pleasant face, but also to use her to respond to himself.
Shen Yongjie also came to her senses, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It seems that there should be something going on in this that we don't know." β
Situ Yingsleeve sat up straight, hugged Shen Yongjie's arm and said, "It's good that you know." Aunt Lu is your handkerchief, if she has anything to do, you might as well spread it out and say ......"
Shen Yongjie responded and said, "Okay, I'll go check it out, you don't care." Tomorrow is the osmanthus feast, are you ready? β
"I just need to dress up beautifully, and then follow my mother to eat and drink." Situ Yingsleeve leaned his head on Shen Yongjie's shoulder and smiled and bent his eyebrows.
A mother's child is a treasure!
β¦β¦
Soon on the day of the osmanthus banquet, Shen Yongjie asked Situ Jianren to take Situ Chenlei with him and greet the guests in the outer courtyard with him.
Shen Yongjie herself entertained the ladies in the inner courtyard.
Situ Yingsleeve did not go over, and only did needlework in his room.
Just waiting for the guests to come to the banquet, Shen Yongjie asked her to go out.
Murong Changqing came to Situ Mansion, first saluted Situ Jianren, and then stood beside him and greeted the guests with Situ Chenlei.
Everyone who came to the banquet knew that Murong Changqing was the fiancΓ© of the eldest lady of Situ Mansion, and they all smiled and congratulated him, asking when they would be able to eat the wedding wine.
Murong Changqing was full of smiles on his face, and kept saying, "Next year, next year, I will definitely invite you to have a wedding wine when the time comes." β
Situ Jianren also laughed happily, feeling that Bei'er had face.
It didn't take long for a servant woman to come out of the gate and say to Murong Changqing, "Murong Gongzi, eldest lady, please come in and talk." β
Murong Changqing glanced at Situ Jianren with a smile and said, "Uncle, what do you think ......?" β
"Go, go, I'll be in here in a little while." Situ Jianren said with a smile.
The guests who should have come are almost here, and the rest of the people are irrelevant, and he doesn't have to wait at the door.
Murong Changqing arched his hand and turned around to follow, but Situ Chenlei looked at the mother-in-law and said, "You are not my sister's mother-in-law, how can you pass on the message to my sister?" β
The mother-in-law didn't expect Situ Chenlei to remember her as an inconsequential rough mother-in-law, and she was flustered for a while and said, "Young Master, the slave and maid are the second door to be sprinkled and swept." The eldest lady's maid was waiting at the second gate, and the slave and maid volunteered to report the news. β
Situ Chenlei still looked at her steadily, but Murong Changqing patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly and said, "It's okay." It's inconvenient for your sister to come out, so it's okay for others to pass the word. So saying, he followed the woman.
After entering the second gate, he didn't see the maid beside Situ Yingsleeve, but he saw Situ Yanxiang standing on the second gate, and beckoned to him with a smile: "Brother Murong, I finally looked forward to you." Come, let's go see my sister. β
