529 errands
The New Year came right after this mishap.
Although she is married to a wife, there is actually nothing that can tire Shen Yan, I have to say that the E family is very capable, and these things are like this every year, and under her plan in advance, they have long been arranged in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Tai is used to Shen Yan accompanying her, so she only needs to accompany Mrs. Tai to eat tea and wipe cards, take a walk under the porch by the way, and then be responsible for telling her the anecdotes heard outside the house to her old man.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Mrs. Tai and Wei Guogong gave them money for the press, Shen Yan really had a share, and sure enough, she got more money than Han Ji, and Han Yun's eyes were even brighter when she looked at her, because she actually expected things like a god.
When Shen Yan kowtowed to E's, the corners of E's mouth also pulled, and then rewarded her with a red gold dragon and phoenix bracelet with three or two pairs.
E's never rudeness in these matters. For her, these gold and silver things are secondary, if Han Ji is really willing to give up the position of the son of this world to Han Yun, I am afraid that she will be willing to hand over all her net worth in exchange for her immediately, right? Shen Yan sometimes couldn't help but sigh at this mother's heart, but Han Yun never understood it.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, Han Yun came to Yifeng Hall to pay New Year's greetings, and Shen Yan rewarded him with a purse that was twice as much as the money he got yesterday. E's money control over Han Yun forced him into a small money fan, and he refused to ask E's for it, so he just hummed with his brother and sister-in-law, and after getting the purse, he was so excited that he couldn't take Shen Yan to the room to ask for peace.
Shen Yan seized the time and still fulfilled her responsibilities as the eldest sister-in-law, and said to him: "Mrs., you still have to say what you should say, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water." Break the bones and connect the tendons, how can you hang her like this? She conceived and gave birth to you in October, how sad she is for you. ”
She hoped that the two of them would always be so good, but this was not fair to Han Yun, and Han Yun's merits and demerits had to be judged by Han Yun himself, and he could not be misled or forced by others. Only by going on in this way can the two of them be equal and long-lasting, he is the flesh and blood of the E family, if not, then it is another matter.
Han Yun was also very melancholy every time, drooping his head and sighing. Although obedient. But I always go to the main courtyard and come back after not half a day.
Shen Yan was not discouraged, anyway, just say it a few more times.
I went back to Shen's Mansion in the second year of junior high school, stayed there for one night, and returned to the mansion in the third year of junior high school. Rouge came in and said, "Did grandma send Fu Niang to inquire about things?" ”
Shen Yan was combing her hair. Hearing this, his subordinates paused. I remembered that there was indeed such a thing, didn't I let Fu Niang stare at Mama Ning a year ago? Then he let out an oh and continued to hang the little ear beads on his ears. Said casually: "What's wrong?" ”
Rouge approached and said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper's surname is Xu, his name is Xu Donghai, and he is the same villager as Mama Ning, and his ancestral home is from Hejian Mansion. I asked people to take the portrait of Mama Ning to inquire around the old street, and I heard that he has been running a shop in Beijing for 20 years, and Mama Ning often goes in and out there, and it seems that she is the concubine of the shopkeeper Xu, and someone has seen the two of them eating at the same table. ”
Shen Yan's mouth was as big as a fist, so isn't Mama Ning almost sixty, and there is still a concubine outside?
"It's been more than 20 years, and no one has found anything wrong?" She asked.
Rouge said: "Originally, Mama Ning has always been the housekeeper in front of Mrs., who dares to say that she is walking around?" Besides, Xu Donghai didn't open a shop in Chengnan Old Street before, but he only moved there in the last seven or eight years, and I heard people who are familiar with them say that he used to sell pen and ink in Zhuque Fang, and then moved to Chengnan for some reason. It was so close that she had to go out often, who would doubt that she was coming? ”
Shen Yan stood up with her eyebrows condensed, recalling that this Ning Mama had been doing things every day.
She has no head-on conflict with the E's family, and now Bilian is in charge of affairs in the main courtyard, and she doesn't take her seriously on weekdays, but I remember that she moves very neatly, her clothes are also very neat, she doesn't talk much, and she is quite calm, not much different from the decent domestic servants in ordinary big families, how can she be such a mother-in-law, she actually has a concubine who has been outside for nearly 20 years?
"Since they are fellow villagers and have been together for so many years, why didn't Xu Donghai marry her?" She asked.
Rouge sighed and said: "This Xu Donghai has a wife and children, but he is not in Beijing." Besides, if he wants to marry, he can't afford to pay for this redemption. After speaking, she leaned over again, and continued: "But there is one thing that is also strange, I also heard that this shopkeeper Xu was originally extremely poor, and he gradually developed over the years, he has no relatives and no friends in Beijing, and he doesn't know how to have the money to open a shop." ”
"That's right!" Shen Yan also had a bright heart, "Since you have the money to open a shop, why don't you redeem Mama Ning?" It's just that you can't get married, and it's a love to redeem her, this Mama Ning doesn't look like that foolish person, how did she meet such a person, and she has been with him for more than 20 years? ”
"So, that's what makes people wonder." Rouge Road.
Shen Yan then put the other ear bead on, but his brows did not mean to let go.
Mama Ning has been the housekeeper of E's side for so many years, most of them have been in charge of the treasury together, and this Xu Donghai has gone from poverty to the point of going out to make a living without the help of relatives and then to the point where he has now opened such a large southern goods store.
And Mama Ning secretly helped him, but she didn't count her name and didn't keep the money to redeem herself, which is even more strange. Is it because she doesn't want to leave, or will she not let go?
"I'll ask if my wife knows about this." This is the premise of whether or not to continue to explore.
Rouge went outside the door and ordered her to go down, and he came in to warm her hands.
In fact, this kind of thing doesn't need to be bothered at all, Shen Yan went to Mrs. Tai's house and wiped the circle cards with the Duchess Huguo and her mother-in-law who came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, and accompanied Xue Jing and their sisters-in-law to talk for a while, Xue Jing recently followed the girls to learn to play the flute, and when she returned to the room to find the flute for Xue Jing, Rouge came in.
"Mrs. doesn't know, there should be no one in the house who knows about her."
Rouge said as soon as he entered the door. Then he waved his hand and asked Qing Dai to find the flute.
Shen Yan didn't have too many surprises, if the E family knew, of course she wouldn't tolerate her, but since she didn't know, should she tell her about it? If she did, would she think she was nosy? But if you don't say it, if this thing gets out, it will have to smear the Han family's face.
After thinking about it, she said: "Let's stare at it for two days first, she is nearly sixty people, even the concubine doesn't have that ability, if you don't find anything else, then I'll let the prince squeak to him when Grandpa Guo is idle in a few days." If there's anything out of the ordinary, feel free to report it to me. ”
Rouge should go down, just as Fu Niang took the flute, Shen Yan took it and went back to the room.
Mama Ning's matter is really not qualified to make Shen Yan, the wife of the prince, pay more attention to it.
Before the eighth day of the new year, I basically had to go out every day, and this morning the family had breakfast in Rongxi Hall, Wei Guogong suddenly said: "I have something to do today, you two go to the old general Zuo and the old general Qin's mansion on my behalf to sit down, the two old generals have made great contributions to the Chinese military camp, and you as juniors, you should act respectfully." ”
When Shen Yan heard that he was going to Qin's house, his head suddenly buzzed!
How can you let her go to the Qin Mansion? How can she be allowed to see Qin Shou's scum again?!
She instinctively said, "I have a stomachache ......"
E's glanced at her, and Mrs. Tai stopped her teeth: "But you caught a cold last night?" Han Ji put a large amount of chopsticks fish belly meat into her bowl and said, "Eighty percent is hungry, eat more and you'll be fine." Shen Yanzheng was speechless, and Han Yun had already untied his purse and took out Shu Qing pills: "This is for stomach pain." Sister-in-law will take me too, right? ”
She glanced at Wei Guogong and saw that he was looking at him with raised eyebrows, and he didn't look like he was going to change his mind, so she had to take the medicine with difficulty and swallow it with water.
Is she just having a stomachache? As long as she thought of entering the gate of the Qin family, she was in pain all over her body, including the tips of her nails.
But she can't tell the real reason, can she? Since she can't say it, she has to go anyway, otherwise what should she do with this world?
After dinner, I went back to the room, so I had to get up and change my clothes, but no matter how delicate I cleaned up, I still looked bitter. Even Han Yun couldn't look at it, and when she came out of the front yard, she immediately said in shock: "Sister-in-law, did someone bully you?" Why do you look like you're being bullied by your big brother? ”
Shen Yan and Han Ji glared at the same time.
Rouge heard that she was going to Qin's house, and before going out, she couldn't help but tell her what Qingdai said in private that day, the third wife wanted to give Shen Chan a kiss, and she chose this Qin family, and the maids were puzzled and wanted to help Shen Chan.
Shen Yan was also stunned when she heard that the third wife had not given up, why did she have to put a crooked neck tree on it?
The old Wei Guogong was a person of great affection, and he had a good relationship with his subordinates in the army. Later, Wei Guogong inherited this tradition, and every year during the Chinese New Year, he would go to each house to sit, bring some small gifts, and contact feelings. is also the reason why the Han brothers and the Wang brothers get along so well. It's just that the Qin family has never fought with the old Wei Guogong before, and Han Ji rarely walks around the Qin family.
Because the Qin family knew that Han Ji was going to bring his new daughter-in-law to be a guest, the old man felt that his face was very bright, so he asked people to clean the courtyard again, and sent someone to wait at the corner of the street.
Shen Yan had to face it with a normal heart at this time. Anyway, Qin Shou didn't recognize her, as long as she forgot about it, who could know that she wouldn't make it?
Here to the Qin family, after the porter unloaded the threshold, the carriage entered the gate, and the old lady and daughter-in-law of Qin came up to salute one after another, and then stretched out their hands to help. (To be continued......)
