Chapter 120: White-Eyed Wolf (5K, Two Shifts in One)
Tea for Shen Yongjie's tablet?
Zhang glanced at Situ Jianren.
When she agreed to remarry him, Situ Jianren swore a curse, saying that she would not be shorter in front of her original partner, and of course she would not have to perform a concubine ceremony in front of her original partner......
But now from Situ Ying's sleeve mouth, it seems that if she doesn't go to this pillar of incense, no one will recognize her step-room position.
Zhang was still groaning, and Situ Yanxiang's tears had already flowed out.
She is no longer a child, so she naturally knows what it means to perform a concubine ceremony in front of her original partner. - That means that her mother will always be short and deserve a head......
Situ Darkincense slowly walked to Situ Ying's sleeve, looked up at her, and said with a sob: "...... Sister, don't you also look down on me and my mother? If it weren't for my sister to protect me, I would have been bullied by those people in the Situ family in Jiangnan to the point that I didn't have any bones left. But my sister always protects me everywhere and helps me, I think my sister is really thinking about me and my mother. β
Situ Ying hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said very kindly: "Sister, my sister really thinks about you and your mother, so she wants to help her mother correct her name." β
"But...... But ......" Situ Yanxiang bit her lower lip, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't refute Situ Ying's words, in a hurry, she turned her head to look at Situ Jianren, and begged: "Dad, does my mother really want to pay tribute to my sister's mother's tablet?" β
Sister's mother's ......
Situ Yingsleeve was very uncomfortable when he heard this.
She has been calling Zhang her mother for four or five years.
Situ Darkincense only called his mother "sister's mother......
This is in her heart, her mother and her own mother are in the same position in this family? And the wife is as big as two heads?
But her mother is the original partner, and the Zhang family will win her father's favor again, she is also a stepfamily, and in terms of etiquette, her position will never be higher than the original partner.
Situ Yingsleeve only wanted to give her mother the proper position of etiquette, and she didn't think about giving her mother a place in her father's heart.
She subconsciously felt that such a father, whoever wants to take it, a person with such a mother's temperament may not be willing to compete with other women......
Situ Jianren frowned and glanced at Situ Yingsleeve, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you tossing again?" It's just enough to build a small Buddha hall for your mother, why do you want your mother to go to the concubine ceremony to offer incense? Don't forget, you are a junior, and your mother is an elder. Is there such a daughter as you who does not distinguish between humility and inferiority? β
"Dad, it is precisely because I respect my elders that I want to do my mother a favor. Otherwise, people will not say it in front of them in the future, and they will laugh at our family for having no rules behind their backs. Situ Yingsleeve said with a smile, and his voice was very gentle.
Zhang looked at Situ Yingsleeve coldly for a while, and finally became convinced that this daughter, who used to be gentle and benevolent and indisputable in everything, had changed......
She sighed softly, pulled Situ Jianren and said, "Master, don't be angry, I'll go to the incense." As he spoke, he glanced at Situ Yingsleeve, "Yingsleeve is right, I should go to my sister's tablet to offer incense to the concubine, don't be embarrassed, I'll go right away." β
This girl, too, has grown crooked, and has begun to do things right with herself......
Zhang sighed in his heart, it was really not his daughter, no matter how good he was to her, it was useless.
Thinking like this, and then looking at Situ Dark, who was crying into tears, Zhang's pity increased greatly, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and persuaded: "Silly child, what are you crying about?" You should be happy for your mother. Mother went to incense your sister's mother's tablet, and no one has been able to find fault with the status of your mother and dark incense in the Situ family. β
Situ Yingsleeve smiled and nodded, "Mother is right. "Not much more.
Anyway, the goal she wants to achieve has been achieved, and she doesn't care whether Zhang is sincere or fake.
What she wants is only to establish her mother's status in the Situ family in name, just don't let people forget her.
After Situ Yingsleeve left, Situ Jianren looked at Zhang's and felt embarrassed, knowing that he had broken his promise, he excused himself to go to see the shopkeeper of Lu Da, and hurriedly went to the business courtyard.
Situ Darkincense snuggled in Zhang's arms, sobbing and choking: "Mother, why didn't my father help my mother this time?" Mother, do you really want to go to your sister's mother's soul to offer incense? β
Zhang patted her on the back and said softly, "...... Dark incense, you have to remember, sometimes to suffer is to take advantage. Although the mother was wronged this time, in your father's heart, he can't help but feel more sorry for his mother, and he will definitely be better for his mother in the future. In this way, in fact, the mother has earned it. You don't have to be sad. β
"Really?" Situ Yanxiang raised his head in Zhang's arms, "Is Dad really better for his mother?" β
"Of course. When did my mother lie to you? Zhang said with a smile, brushing the bangs hanging down in front of the dark incense's forehead with his hand, "Don't cry, if you cry again, your eyes will be swollen, and it won't look good." β
Situ Yanxiang nodded hurriedly, stopped her tears, took a handkerchief and printed it on her cheek, and said, "Mother, why did my sister become like this?" She wasn't aggressive before. Today, I have to force my mother to go to her mother's spirit to offer incense. β
"Your sister, alas, forget it, she is always the eldest daughter, and the backer behind her is hard, we can't compete with her for the time being, so we don't have to fight with her. Dark incense, you have to remember that as long as your father takes you to heart, no matter how much your sister tosses, it will only make your father more disgusted with her. A sneer flashed in Zhang's eyes.
She didn't want to deal with Situ Yingsleeve, in fact, she used to pity this little girl who lost her mother since she was a child.
It's just that I didn't expect this little girl to be a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised.
She was kind to her, but she didn't care about it at all, she only remembered her dead mother.
In that case, she doesn't have to be merciful.
Zhang patted Situ Yanxiang's shoulder and smiled meaningfully: "Okay, you go back to your house and rest." You don't care about it. This time, let's just be weak to the end, and let your sister take advantage of the strength. β
After speaking, Zhang called a mother-in-law, whispered a few words in her ear, and arranged the entire agenda.
The more the woman listened, the more surprised her face became, but the master's mother ordered, she had to obey, so she had to bow her head with a complicated expression, answer, and arrange it first.
Zhang then went to change into plain clothes, put white silverware on his head, and came to the small Buddha hall next to the main courtyard where she and Situ Jianren lived, and offered incense and tea to Situ Jianren's original partner, Shen Yongjie.
Situ Yingsleeve took the mother-in-law and maid in the inner courtyard to serve at the door of the small Buddha hall.
Situ Jianren was also invited by Zhang to sit down on a Taishi chair next to the offering table, and Zhang knelt down and gave him a cup of tea.
The whole agenda is the same as taking a concubine.
Situ Jianren glared at one eye as big as a bull's eye, jumped up in shock, and shouted at Situ Yingsleeve who was standing at the door: "Yingsleeve! What the hell are you doing! It's just incense, how can it be like a concubine?! Let me tell you, your mother is also the leading lady I married with three media, six hires, three books and six ceremonies, and it is not something that can be mistreated at will! β
Situ Yingsleeve glanced into the room, was slightly stunned, and secretly said that it was not good, if this matter spread, it would be her fault...... Subconsciously glanced at Zhang with a complicated expression......
Sure enough, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Although he gave her a small test to see if she was content with her current position, Zhang's quietly made a plan and gave him the most powerful counterattack.
Because it is one thing to let the Zhang family go to the original concubine to offer incense in front of the original spiritual seat, and it is another thing to let the Zhang family really go through the agenda of taking concubines.
Because although the stepfamily performs the concubine ceremony in front of the original match, the steproom is indeed the wife of the main room, not the concubine.
The daughter of the original partner asked her father's stepwife to accept the concubine ceremony in front of the original wife's spirit, which was properly disrespectful and unfilial.
If this matter spreads, Situ Yingsleeve's reputation will be completely ruined.
Situ Yingsleeve may not particularly care about her reputation, she is a person who has died once, and she understands what is most important.
But in this life, she still has a younger brother to raise.
If she is secretly overshadowed by the Zhang family like this and ruins her reputation, not to mention anything else for the time being, she will definitely not be able to bring her younger brother with her in the future.
In a hurry, Situ Yingsleeve strode in, interrupted the ceremony, and smiled at Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground and was about to give Situ Jianren tea: "Mother, what are you doing?" Don't you know the rules of performing a concubine ceremony in front of the original spouse? It's okay, I'll send someone to Shen Xiang's Mansion and ask my grandmother to borrow a few polite nurturing grandmothers to come over and teach my mother another etiquette, okay? He gestured and turned to leave.
This is a faint threat to the Zhang family, if she dares to continue, Situ Yingsleeve is not afraid to raise Shen Xiang's mansion to suppress her......
Of course, the Zhang family didn't want to mess with Shen Xiangfu, she glanced at Situ Yingsleeve with slanted eyes, got up with the skirt, and said, "It's still thoughtful." However, I have long been familiar with these things in etiquette, so I won't bother the Shen Xiang family. β
"Really? Then why did my mother take a concubine just now, instead of taking a concubine in front of my mother's spirit? Situ Yingsleeve waited for Zhang to jump into the pit she had dug......
At this point, Zhang had no choice but to say: "I just performed the concubine ceremony, not the concubine ceremony, you are mistaken." β
"That's good, that's good." Situ Yingsleeve nodded with a smile, "I thought my mother didn't understand." After all, my father has never taken a concubine, where did my mother learn it? β
Zhang smiled gracefully and said, "I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run, right?" We're all getting older, so how can we not know this? Yingsleeve, you are indeed mistaken. β
"It doesn't matter if I'm wrong, as long as my dad doesn't read wrong. You see, just now my dad was wrong and scolded me. - Mother, can you not favor one over the other......" Situ Yingsleeve said with a smile and looked at Zhang without showing weakness.
"The palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, how can I favor one over the other? Yingsleeve, you really think too much. Zhang once again denied it lightly, turned his head to look at Situ Jianren, and smiled softly: "Master, do you think this is okay?" I've already given incense to my sister and tea. β
"Alright, alright! Absolutely! Situ Jianren said in a loud voice, glaring back at Situ Yingsleeve, "...... It's all about you! Forget it, spare you this time, and next time, against your mother, I will punish you severely! With that, he took the Zhang family and left the small Buddha hall where Shen Yongjie's tablet was enshrined.
After they all left, Situ Yingsleeve stood alone in front of the confession in the small Buddha hall, looking at the tablet of his mother on the confession.
The tall, thin and slender figure looks particularly lonely.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door behind him.
Situ Yingsleeve turned around and saw Murong Changqing, who he hadn't seen for a long time, standing at the door of the small Buddha hall.
Because of the light on her back, she squinted her eyes, and only then did she see Murong Changqing's appearance clearly, and she was secretly surprised in her heart.
I saw that Murong Changqing's previously smooth and fair face had become unshaven, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
"Murong Gongzi, are you back? How about the journey? What happened? Situ Yingsleeve couldn't help but ask.
Murong Changqing tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm back." I just came back and heard about your birthday, so I came over to take a look. Saying that, he walked in, stood side by side with Situ Yingsleeve, looked at Shen Yongjie's tablet, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "This is your mother's tablet?" β
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, "This small Buddha hall has just been built. It's just ...... My wife has just incense on my mother's tablet. β
Murong Changqing glanced at her keenly and found that she no longer called Zhang's "mother", but called her "wife", "What's wrong?" When I came here just now, I saw your father and your mother, and they said you are here......"
"It's fine. It's just a little emotional. Situ Yingsleeve took a breath and muttered, "Murong Gongzi, if you find out that someone who was so good to you before actually has ulterior motives, how do you feel?" β
Xu is now the most vulnerable time for Situ Yingsleeve, she wants to have someone to rely on, a pair of ears that can allow her to pour out her thoughts.
Because she survived with her younger brother in this life, she began to look at the problem with another eye, no longer full of self-blame and self-punishment like in the previous life, and actually found so many clues around her.
Many things, looking at it from another angle, can lead to completely different conclusions.
If the people around her are unreliable, she has to be stronger to protect her younger brother......
When Murong Changqing heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, which made his eyes burst into Venus, but there was strong joy in his heart.
Yes! That's how it feels!
How could Ying Sleeve be so clear about his feelings?!
Murong Changqing's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Situ Ying's side face with his sleeves lowered, and he wanted to reach out and caress her cheek, but his hand was halfway out, and then he retracted it, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and said in a low voice: "I understand your feelings." A person who had previously thought she was a loving mother suddenly discovered that her love had another purpose. This feeling really makes people's hearts feel like a heavy stone has been weighed down. β
That's what he is. Now that he knows the truth, and when he goes home to face his mother-in-law Lu Ruifeng, who still shuts him and asks him for warmth, and does not show the slightest flaw, his heart is panicked, and he is panicked, and at the same time, he deeply hates his father and the queen for misbehaving, making this kind of thing that is enough to punish the nine clans......
His destiny has been walking on the tip of a knife ever since.
Situ Yingsleeve was also stunned. I didn't expect Murong Changqing to understand her feelings like this, it's really rare......
"Changqing, how did you become like this? Is it tiring to go to Northern Qi? Situ Yingsleeve asked with concern again.
Unconsciously, Situ Yingsleeve's address to Murong Changqing became intimate, and he was no longer as unfamiliar as Murong Gongzi.
It stands to reason that Murong Changqing followed Queen Qi Xueyun's phoenix back to Northern Qi Province, shouldn't he be tired like this?!
Murong Changqing smiled bitterly again, and looked at Situ Ying's clear eyes with some envy like cold stars shining on water, so pure that they did not contain a trace of impurities.
This woman, who is as bright as the moon, is his fiancΓ©e.
Although his family looks down on her background, how much better can his background be than hers?
Especially Situ Yingsleeve understands his situation like this, cares about him, and has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?!
Murong Changqing finally stretched out his hand again, held Situ Ying's hand, and nodded heavily, "Tired, very tired." After a pause, he added, "But when I see you, I won't be tired." β
Situ Yingsleeve smiled and said softly: "Seeing that you are in the dust, you won't come to my house just after returning to the capital, right?" β
"You guessed it. I just came back, and I came to see you before I had time to change my clothes. Luckily, it caught up. Murong Changqing pulled Situ Ying's sleeve's hand, "Go out, today is your birthday, go out and play with your sisters." β
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, and was about to go out, when Murong Changqing said again: "Wait, let me kiss your mother with a pillar of incense." β
Situ Yingsleeve was even more happy, and he was busy making incense in person and offering it to Murong Changqing.
After Murong Changqing finished offering incense, the two turned around together, but saw two people standing at the door.
It was actually Xie Dongli and Situ Darkincense.
Xie Dongli was tall, and Situ Dianxiang was extremely petite, only not much taller than his waist.
Situ Yingsleeve raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak, but Situ Yanxiang had already rushed to clap her hands and smiled: "Sister and Murong Gongzi are a good match!" He said, "Sister, my father instructed me to bring Xie Shilang in, saying that he wanted to see my brother." β
"Look at my brother?" Situ Yingsleeve immediately woke up and looked at Xie Dongli suspiciously, "What do you see him doing?" β
Xie Dongli turned sideways, letting go of the person standing behind him, and said in a flat voice: "This is Doctor Miao." It was Shen Xiang who asked me to find it, and I wanted to give Brother Ling another diagnosis and treatment to see if he could cure his dementia. β
"My grandfather asked you to come?" Situ Ying's sleeve showed joy on his face, walked a few steps forward, came to the Miao Divine Doctor, bowed deeply and saluted, "I've seen Miao Divine Doctor." β
Situ Yingsleeve observed Situ Chenlei for a long time, and found that there was indeed something wrong with his brain, not ordinary stupidity, but sometimes he was completely immersed in his own world, and everything in the outside world was the same as nothing to him.
"Miss Situ is exempt. Entrusted by the prime minister, the grass people can only do their best. Doctor Miao returned the salute without humility or arrogance, and it did look like he had a few brushes.
Murong Changqing furrowed his brows a little worriedly, but knew that Situ Yingsleeve was nervous about her younger brother, so he didn't say anything.
Situ Darkincense said happily: "Sister, then I will take Xie Shilang and Miao Shenyi to see my younger brother." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Situ Yingsleeve to answer, he stretched out his hand and pointed the way: "Xie Shilang, Miao Shen Doctor, my younger brother lives in Zhigui Hall." Two of you, please. He quickly took Xie Dongli and Doctor Miao out.
Situ Yingsleeve was busy trying to keep up, Murong Changqing grabbed her placket and scolded lightly: "Yingsleeve, you are the one who is married, and you will marry in two years, remember to avoid suspicion with a foreign man." Just let the mother-in-law take it to see Xiao Lei, you'd better sit behind the screen and auscultate. A woman's family should be chaste and virtuous, not water-based poplars. β
Situ Yingsleeve: "!! β
Murong Changqing, this is a brain in water! What are you talking about?!
