Mrs. Zhan walked over to the maid in front of her and said, "Madame wait for the second young lady, and the second young lady should hurry." ”

Shen Wanzhen said to Qiao Shan: "Find out the clothes that went out." ”

The girl fetched water and evened her face.

Shen Wanzhen entered the west room, sat down in front of the dresser, spread out a black oily hair, embroidered chrysanthemum skillfully, can comb all kinds of hair buns, and divided her thick hair into a few strands along the middle of the forehead to both sides, braided into a braid, together with the middle hair pulled up, fingers flew up and down, in an instant, it was made into a flower-shaped, and with the fingertips dipped in a little oil, the sideburns on both sides were pinched, smooth, without a trace of messy hair.

Feng'er said greedily beside her: "It's so good-looking, Sister Xiuju's craftsmanship is getting better and better, unlike my stupid, I can't even comb a double bun." ”

It was very cold in the past few days of the New Year, Qiao Shan got up early to pour water, and saw that the places with water were frozen, afraid that the master would be cold, so she brought thick clothes and let the master pick them, Shen Wanzhen was afraid of the cold, and pointed to a set of agarwood woven gold cloud goose pattern silver mouse jacket skirt, "This one is thicker." ”

"Heaven is about to hit spring, and it's still like this." Qiao Shan said.

Shen Wanzhen was changing clothes in the room, and she listened to Feng'er and Xiuju muttering in the hall,

"What are you two muttering," Shen Wanzhen shouted through the curtain.

"Feng'er wants to go with the young lady." Xiuju smiled and said for Feng'er, Feng'er didn't dare to mention it to Shen Xuanzhen.

"Then go ahead." As soon as Shen Wanzhen finished speaking, Feng'er crashed in and said, "Thank you, master." Xiuju pulled her up,

Shen Wanzhen took Xiuju, Qiaoshan, and Feng'er to the room, and when she entered the door, she saw that Zhan Shaoting was also there, and Mrs. Zhan got up, "Let's go!" ”

Shen Xuanzhen went over to support Mrs. Zhan, Mrs. Zhan turned back to greet her son, Zhan Shaoting stepped forward to support Mrs. Zhan's left arm, Mrs. Zhan looked left and right at her son and daughter-in-law, and said with relief: "That's right, Shaoting let your daughter-in-law point more, you are a man." ”

The husband and wife didn't look at each other, and Mrs. Zhan turned her head to Shen Wanzhen while walking: "Anyway, you are cousins, and my mother-in-law is not difficult to wait, look at my face, take care of it a little more." ”

Shen Wanzhen lowered her head, lowered her eyes and didn't speak, Zhan Shaoting glanced at her, and Shen Wanzhen felt awkward.

Shen Wanzhen accompanied Mrs. Zhan in a sedan chair, and Zhan Shaoting rode a horse.

Shen Wanzhen first helped Mrs. Zhan into the sedan chair, and then went up by herself, and the maid and servant sat in the back two small sedan chairs.

The sedan chair is stable, the hour is still early, and there is no hurry to hurry.

Mrs. Zhan turned her head to look at Shen Wanzhen and said: "Daughter-in-law, no matter whether Shaoting's mind is on you or not, you are a wife, a hundred times stronger than being a concubine, and give birth to a boy and a girl in the future, and you will have to rely on it for the rest of your life. ”

Shen Wanzhen hung her head and said silently, and Mrs. Zhan said again: "That man is not a man with three wives and four concubines, he is a monk, that is angry talk, the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, he will die alone, he is a poor person, you are blessed, you should not have this heart, I am from the past, although your father-in-law is stronger than ordinary people, he was also ....... when he was young" Mrs. Zhan said half of the sentence and did not go on.

Mrs. Zhan held her hand on her knee, "You and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are fate, if we split up in the future, although Shaoting has no fame, but I, as a mother-in-law, will never treat you badly, and my private room is enough for the two of you to be prosperous and rich, and I will point out to you a part of your property, even Shaoting will not let him move, so that you will have security in the future." ”

Shen Wanzhen thought, her mother-in-law even has arrangements for things after the division of the house, and her mother-in-law is obviously biased towards the second room, coaxing herself, if Zhan Shaoting has a minimum bottom line, will she be content with the status quo and continue to live a life of glory, wealth, brocade and food.

The Shen family's old residence in the capital was not far from Bofu, and it arrived in half an hour.

As soon as the sedan chair was launched, the porter went up and down to report to the inside, and the sedan chair was carried directly into the middle door and dropped off the sedan chair in the inner flower hall.

Wu, Mrs. Xue and Jiang took Zhen and a group of servants and servants to greet them, several old sisters and sisters-in-law walked in front, Zhen and Shen Wanzhen followed hand in hand, Wu and others entered the hall, Zhen whispered: "Your sisters are in the side hall, go over and play with them." ”

Shen Wanzhen smiled kindly, and walked to the side hall with Xiuju, Qiaoshan, and Feng'er, and quickly walked to the door of the side hall, Shen Wanzhen said: "A few of you can also find a good private meeting, I won't see you for a few days." A few people were happy to play with the little sister.

Walking to the door of the side hall, the girl stood outside the door and shouted inside: "The third aunt and grandmother are here." ”

The curtain of the hall was raised, and the laughter came, Shen Wanzhen first recognized that it was Shen Wanzhu's laughter, and looked along the laughter, only to see Shen Wanzhu and Xue Jin playing chess, on the side were two girls, a maid gave Xue Jin a fan, there were two charcoal braziers on the ground in this room, and the kang was hot, Xue Jin's face was pink, it was bright, like a blooming peony flower, Shen Wanzhu was also hot and the skin on his face was smooth and bright, both of them were born beautiful.

This room full of women, these two people have the most beautiful appearance, Shen Wanzhen couldn't help but look at it twice, this kind of talent, the candidate girl, nine out of ten, but the two of them are proud and flamboyant, and the palace is full of top people, if you can hide your foolishness and clumsiness, you can live in peace, otherwise, the result is unpredictable, maybe you can endure hardships, you can restrain your personality, and outstanding talent is the capital of women's pride.

Feng'er went back to her parents' house with her master for the first time, and she usually didn't have a chance to go out, and when she heard her master say that she didn't need to follow, she was anxious, Xiuju and Qiaoshan went to play with the little sisters in the house, and Feng'er wandered around alone.

The old house of the Shen Mansion is newly renovated, most of it is empty, and it is spring when it is seen, so the curtains and window screens are replaced with new bright colors, Feng'er sees that many houses in the back house are empty, and the bedding on the kang is neat, as if to live in people, I think that the aunts of the Shen family are here to live, and the furnishings in the house are no worse than the Eber's Mansion, and I envy in my heart, that is, to be an aunt, but also to be clothed and fed, the wind does not blow, and the rain does not drench the rich days.

"You're a girl from Nafu, why are you lying on your stomach here?" As soon as Feng'er turned around, it was an old woman, and she didn't know that this was the Jin Pozi who had a face in front of the Wu family.

Feng'er was not afraid, and said with a smile: "This mother is kind-faced, I am from Zhan Bo's Mansion, and I will go back to my parents' house with the second young lady." ”

Pointing inside, "This house is where the master lives, right?" I looked at the furnishings and saw that it was not something that ordinary people could live in. Feng'er was a little envious.

When Mrs. Jin heard this, she stroked her palms and laughed, laughed for a while, and said, "This is where the master's sister Xi lived." ”

Feng'er was embarrassed by laughter, and thought to herself, a person who lives in such a gorgeous house, the Shen Mansion really has a thick foundation, and this official who is released outside is more oil and water than the Beijing official.

Mrs. Jin smiled, carefully looked at the girl in front of her, only to see that this girl has pretty eyebrows and eyes, clever manners, a magenta jacket skirt, and a graceful waist, Mrs. Jin's eyes are straight, there are also stunning girls in the Shen Mansion, but this girl is lively, adding a layer of interest, thinking, Mrs. wants to choose a room for the master, now the lord's concubine Xiaosun gave birth to a daughter, Aunt Zhang borrowed the birth of a brother, the momentum is rising, Mrs. in order to suppress Aunt Zhang, to take the initiative to collect a room for the master, prepare the master to come to Beijing to wait, just the beauty is not surprising, it is rare to be this girl's temperament, will definitely be able to please the master, so he will test the words, "Girl, do you think it is better to Shen Mansion or Bo Mansion?" ”

As soon as Mrs. Jin asked, Feng'er was stumped, and wanted to say, Shen Mansion is good, the concubines of Bofu are beautiful on the surface, but they can't be compared with Shen Mansion inside, most of the masters of Bofu are noble, have big rules, and the emperor is strict, and they are not easy to get along, but the words are not easy to say, so he smiled and said: "If you are used to living in Shen Mansion, it is good to live in Shen Mansion, and if you are used to living in Bofu, it is good to live in Bofu, no matter where you go, you will always get used to it." ”

Jin Pozi was quite satisfied with her answer, if she was generally sincere, she was envious of the window, and she must have said directly that Shen Fu was good.

Mrs. Jin smiled: "The girl plays casually, and the old slave will not accompany the girl if she has something to do." ”

"Auntie, please." Feng'er squatted.

Jin Pozi walked not far away, turned her head again, and saw Feng'er looking in through the crack in the door, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Mrs. means that she would rather be a cheap girl than let Aunt Zhang be satisfied, no matter that girl as long as she gives birth to a boy, Mrs. Deed of Sale holds it in her hand, and she can't turn out the palm of her wife, that Aunt Zhang is different, she enters the door according to the concubine, goes to the family tree, and gives birth to a pair of children, and when she returns to her wife, she wants a girl with the girl, and the girl will not say anything if she wants to, not to mention that this little girl is very willing.

Qiao Shan went to the kitchen to find her godmother, Xiuju didn't dare to go far, for fear that the girl would have something to call for someone and no one would be able to find her.

sat under the porch, stretched out his hand, and did not freeze his hand, so he played with one of his wife's girls.

At this time, a little girl waved her hand at the place where she put her head in the west wing, Xiuju didn't pay much attention to it, the little girl was anxious to gesture to her, it seemed that she didn't dare to come over, afraid that the wife's girl would see it, Xiuju put down the nine rings in her hand, and said deliberately: "Don't play, it's boring, and the waist is sore all the time." ”

At this time, a mother-in-law passed by and teased: "How old are you, have you grown your waist?" ”

Xiuju walked away under the pretext of going to the place where the girl was standing, and the girl saw her coming, turned around and entered a room with an unlocked door, and Xiuju took advantage of the unpreparedness and slipped in very quickly.

Entering the door, the little girl hurriedly closed the door, pulling her in for fear that someone would hear at the door.

The reason why Xiuju came over was that she knew this girl, and it was Wu Yulian's personal little girl called Vanilla.

Vanilla didn't care about saying anything else, and was busy talking to the topic, "I beg the girl to talk to the third aunt and grandmother to save my young lady"

Xiuju was surprised, seeing her holding her hand and shaking, she hurriedly said: "Don't panic, say something slowly." ”

Vanilla wiped her tears with her sleeve and said sadly: "My young lady and Miss Ailian's old child had a fight in the garden, and my lady locked up my young lady, didn't give her food, and didn't let me go to see it, I was hungry for two days, and the girl told my aunt and grandmother that she wanted to think about it, and if it went on like this, my young lady's life would be gone." ”

At these words, Xiuju was really startled, and she couldn't believe it, "That lady tortured Miss Yulian, the master didn't care, she was the master's own flesh and blood, and her aunt didn't go to the master." ”

Vanilla's expression flickered a little, and he said for a long time: "The master is angry, no one can control his life, whoever dares to intercede will be killed, my aunt cried so much that she turned her back on her back, knelt in front of her wife, and knelt down for a whole day, and her wife ignored it." ”

Xiuju was even more puzzled, his uncle and wife Jiang were ruthless, but she was virtuous on the surface and treated her concubines well, wouldn't she have a bad reputation by doing so, and there must be a reason for this.

So Xiuju said: "You tell me the truth, I can help your master." ”

Vanilla can't see it, it's such a big thing vaguely, how can people help, so he was heartbroken, and said: "Sister Xiuju, I just said it, that Miss Ailian's husband Zhou Gongzi is now thinking about Miss Huang, and refuses to get married, Miss Ailian's wife is in a hurry, so she invited Miss Ailian's mother-in-law to come to the house as a guest, she wanted to mention the two family affairs with Miss Ailian's mother-in-law, and she was bored in the flower hall, so she went to the garden to set up a table in Mei Xuexuan, and she knew a few ladies who were close to her.

Speaking of this, Vanilla paused, looking a little embarrassed, "It so happened that Miss Ai Lian and my young lady were in the garden that day, and they didn't agree with each other, so they started to move, Miss Ai Lian slapped my young lady, and my young lady was angry for a while, so she also moved her hand, and the fight started, alarming the ladies who were eating and drinking inside, and when she came out to take a look, all of a sudden, Miss Ailian's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, brushed her sleeves away. ”

Vanilla's voice became lower and lower, "On the second day, the Zhou family proposed to withdraw from the family, the Zhou family has always wanted to withdraw from the family, but they can't find a reason, this is good, a ready-made excuse, my wife is embarrassed to say no, there is nowhere to put her face, the two sisters who have not left the cabinet do it in front of people, and the tutor said it to make people laugh." ”

"Just be angry with this uncle, and let your uncle starve to death of your young lady?" Xiuju understood, Ailian's marriage not only withdrew, but it spread, her uncle's face was lost, and she could still manage the life and death of her concubine.

"And how is Miss Elaine?" Xiuju asked.

"Locked in the room, no face to go out." Vanilla seemed to be a little happy when she said this.

Xiuju thought, I have to tell the young lady about this matter quickly, and I am afraid that I will die one day later.

Said to Vanilla, "How did you get out?" ”

"My young lady is locked up, and my wife will assign me to Miss Huilian, but Miss Yulian is the first master of slaves and maids, and she can't die without seeing it." Vanilla was very anxious when she spoke, "Sister Xiuju, no one can help you except your young lady anyway." ”

"I'll try." Xiuju agreed. Human life is at stake, and we cannot sit idly by.

Xiuju entered the side hall and saw that the girls were lively, Shen Wanzhen and Xue Jin were about to quarrel because of a child, the girls were chatting with Miss Yun and Miss Xin, and Xue Jin's younger brothers and sisters went to the kang to grab hazelnuts and almonds, and rolled on the kang.

Xiuju stood at the door, seeing that the girl's face was facing inward, and she couldn't see her, so she had an idea, went to the table and took a teapot, filled it with water, and brought it over, "The master thinks I'm thirsty for half a day." ”

"It's still this girl who knows how to hire people." Shen Wanyun said with a smile.

Xiuju took advantage of the master's turn and took a sip of tea, and Xiuju took advantage of the moment she took the tea cup and faced Shen Wanzhen and made a look.

Shen Wanzhen understood, didn't work hard, excused herself to be complimentary, and embroidered chrysanthemum to help her out.

Turning around the back of the West Wing, he said, "What is the urgency you call me?" ”

Xiuju saw that there was no one around, so she simply repeated what Vanilla said, and Shen Wanzhen was startled.

"Is this the case?"

The slave didn't believe it at first, but vanilla didn't lie.

"Let's go in first, I'm afraid they will be suspicious after coming out for a long time." Shen Xuanzhen couldn't think of a way to save Wu Yulian for a while.

At the dinner, without Wu Yulian, Shen Wanzhen felt that there were fewer people close to her, and the banquet was boring, they were all thinking about it, they couldn't watch Wu Yulian die, no matter what, she was the only one in these two mansions who was really good to herself, she came to this world without relatives, no friends, a little good, she was moved, Wu Yulian was at fault, but the sin was not to death, Wu Ailian's marriage was better than marrying in the past, that Zhou Gongzi had a heart, and he was reluctant to get married, so what happiness could he have.

But what can I do? Shen Wanzhen patronized and thought about her thoughts, and said next to her Zhen, "My sister has no appetite? Shen Jiazhen looked up at Zhen's eyes looking at her, probably Zhen had misunderstood, misunderstood her, Shen Wanzhen blushed, and hurriedly took a bite of food, "I ate too much in the New Year, and I was a little resistant." ”

Zhen nodded, and said in her heart, there was no movement in her stomach, unlike her sister-in-law Shen Wanyu's round house, which was born on the same day, when she thought of Shen Wanyu, she didn't feel happy in her heart, and she couldn't eat it, she glanced at Shen Wanyu's table, Shen Wanyu was smiling happily, and the dragonfly thin wings on the red gold step in her hair trembled, and she felt a pain in her heart and avoided her eyes.

Husband Wu Jinglan was fascinated by her, and rarely even went to her own room, only her in the eyes of her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and the people flocked to her, as if she was the wife of the Wu Mansion in the future, Zhen's heart was like a needle prick, and it hurt so much that her heart trembled. At first, I thought about it, I was scared into a cold sweat, but I couldn't control it and always thought about it, disappointed in her husband Wu Jinglan, which made her love for him weak, and saw that he was only sad, and gradually bred a resentment, rather than this, it is better to let the child have a child, and blame himself for being narrow-minded, always guarding against the girl, only to the current situation, unable to control, look at this situation, if Shen Wanyu gives birth to a man, she will not be willing to take it to her own house to raise, her husband helps her, her mother-in-law must find an excuse not to let herself get involved, and now her mother-in-law has the intention of mentioning herself, I don't know if it's because I mind and let her see through it, or if the woman is sensitive.

In the middle, Wu called people, let Shen Wanzhu pay attention to eating, eat less cold, eat hot dishes, Shen Wanzhen is not far from her, she saw the pride on Shen Wanzhu's face, Shen Wanzhu drank some wine, her face was crimson, so beautiful that her heart skipped half a beat, women are like this, not to mention men, Shen Wanzhen wants to be elected to the palace, or marry into the prince's mansion, as long as she is smart enough, with her stunning appearance, or she can become a climate.

That Xue Jin and her are like a pair of sister flowers, but they are a little more noble than her, and the noble spirit of a woman can only be cultivated by the living environment, after all, although Shen Wanzhu is favored by her father, she is suppressed by her mother Wu, and her daughter Shen Wanyun is pressed by one head, and she is weaker than Xue Jin in terms of momentum.

Shen Wanxin ate for a while, then quietly sat down beside her, Shen Wanzhen looked at her close, her heart was warm, and she asked in a low voice: "You know about your cousin Yulian, right?" ”

Shen Wanxin peeked at the aunt Jiang who was seated, Jiang was peaceful on the surface, but she could also feel sullen, her daughter was withdrawn from the marriage, not to mention the face, she was worried about getting married, Wu Ailian's appearance is average, there is nothing outstanding, only the family affairs are good, but men value appearance, and the general in-laws mind marrying a divorced woman, unless they marry a small family, they are afraid of marrying the past, and they will fall into the hands of their mother-in-law, and they will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives, and they will be looked down upon by their mother-in-law's family, how can Jiang's heart be happy, and she is reluctant to come over today, after all, the sister-in-law moved away, Counting a happy event, Jiang was upset and annoyed.

Shen Wanxin whispered in her ear: "The mansion knows that no one dares to mention it, my uncle said, if you dare to talk behind your back, you will be beaten half to death with a stick, and you will be driven out." ”

The author has something to say: Xie Lu Xie Zhoumen's support! Take a bow! The chapter of Ming'er is a rivalry between King An and the heroine.
