Chapter 118
The next morning, she opened her eyes and saw that he was still asleep, she lay still, looked at the carved dust above her head, and sighed softly.
At this moment, he opened his eyes, as if he heard her sigh, and said apologetically: "Don't be angry, I was also impulsive last night, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of you......"
She turned her back angrily, he smiled and turned her body, "I'm still angry, women are just small-minded, they have said it, and they have exposed it." ”
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and gave him a blank look, "What have you revealed?" There was nothing going on, but you were suspicious and said that I was small-minded. ”
Zhao Shijiao saw that she was angry, and stretched out his hand to squeak her, "It's because this king is small-minded, I'm afraid that you will run away with someone." ”
"I'm married to you" She couldn't stand the itch, clenched her arms, still angry.
He smiled and patted her face, "Okay, let's not talk about it, in short, you will go out less to meet people in the future." ”
She was frightened, "Don't let me see people? ”
"I'll accompany you when you go out." He said half-seriously.
She muttered, "It's too overbearing." ”
Her voice was small, but he still heard it, and he thought about it, "Seriously, there are some things you don't know about the royal family. ”
He suddenly changed the subject, "What are you talking about with your second sister-in-law, it won't be a parent's short, right?" ”
She repeated the conversation between the two, and he nodded with satisfaction, "My princess is very witty, and I can rest assured of this." ”
She instantly chilled, "What are you worried about?" ”
He stretched out his hand to touch her face and said with a smile: "If you dare to show this king's face, this king will be used, do you say that evil is not evil?" ”
She brushed his hand away, "Last night, people were wronged or something, you ignored others when you were angry, and asked others to take the initiative." ”
"Well, can I take the initiative?" He said, smiling into her eyes, a little wicked in his eyes.
She hurriedly shook her hand and hid in the kang, "It's not early, it's time to get up, everyone is waiting outside." ”
He sat up and said, "Let's go, this king will go back to his mother's house with you." ”
When he saw that she was still lying, he reached out and pulled her up.
He is a prince, his status is noble, and he doesn't have to go to the courtier's house, even if it is his father-in-law's family, the law of the country and the rules of the family, and the law of the country should be obeyed, but he offered to accompany her back to her parents' house, and she was very moved.
Waiting for him to get dressed, he himself moved swiftly and dressed himself.
When dressing up, seeing that the prince was out of the house and was not in the house, Xiuju whispered: "The fifth girl and the master are from the same family, do you want to go back together?" ”
Shen Wanzhen is really disgusted with this sister-in-law, this sister-in-law always does annoying things, responds to you, wants to ignore her, and when she turns her mind again, everyone's eyes are looking, and the people in her mother's Shen Mansion see that she is not on good terms with her sister-in-law, and if she doesn't say it in person, she will laugh behind her back.
"Qiaoshan, you go and tell Mrs. Shen, go back to your parents' house in a while, and go together."
Qiao Shan walked to Shen Wanzhu's house, and said the princess's words, Shen Wanzhu drooped the corners of her mouth, when she heard that the prince also went back together, Qiao Shan left, busy dressing up, and asked Xiao Fluttershy to find out the new clothes, put them on, and proudly walked to the room early, thinking, the prince is here, and he dangles in front of the prince, if the prince takes his eyes off his sister, he can find that she is better than his sister.
Shen Wanzhen's breakfast was not used yet, Qiao Shan entered the house and whispered: "Mrs. Shen is here, wait outside." Shen Wanzhen frowned slightly, why is this person not interested, and deliberately filled her in the early morning.
He whispered to Qiao Shan, "Let her go to the ear room and wait." She stood in the doorway, making people look unsightly.
The husband and wife had breakfast and walked out of the door side by side, and Shen Wanzhen instructed Xiuju: "Call Mrs. Shen." ”
Xiuju went to call Shen Wanzhu, Zhao Shijiao heard her call her sister to go back to her parents' house together, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, anyway, she went to Shen's mansion together, so she didn't say anything, and the two walked out of the courtyard door with a smile.
Shen Wanzhu listened to the call of embroidered chrysanthemum, quickly walked out of the ear room, saw that the prince and the princess had gone out of the courtyard, and then chased after him, chased to the gate of the palace, the prince and her sister had already gotten on the sedan chair, she just wanted to call the sedan chair to stop, and when she walked together, the sedan chair had risen, Chen Fu stood beside the sedan chair, and gestured backwards to her, she saw that there were two small sedan chairs behind, one riding the palace and the other taking the empty sedan chair, which was probably prepared for her.
She suddenly felt ashamed, she didn't shout, she was happy and turned into shame, listlessly walked to the small sedan chair, the next person picked the sedan curtain, she lazily went up, and took most of the heart of competing for favor in front of the prince.
A large sedan chair in front, followed by two small sedan chairs, followed by a big car, Shen Wanzhen prepared a New Year's gift for her mother's family, and the palace guards on both sides.
"How did you celebrate the New Year when you were in Shandong? Isn't it lively? Zhao Shijiao asked a little curiously.
"Lively, the Shen family has four rooms, and there are more than a dozen grandchildren, and our sisters didn't get married at that time, but unfortunately I was not in good health at that time, and I was sick for three years."
He looked at her in surprise, and said in his heart, no wonder when he saw her for the first time, her face looked pale and bloodless, "Go back and pass on the imperial doctor in the palace to give you a good condition." ”
Shen Wanzhen smiled, "That was in the past, and the concubine body is now very strong." ”
"Really? That Ben Wang checked. "Say it, he was about to touch it, so frightened that she hurriedly wrapped her clothes, "Don't make trouble, Lord Wang, go back to Shen Mansion, disheveled, no shame." ”
He just laughed.
Half an hour later, the sedan chair rested, and the sedan chair came down from the back and the maid hurriedly walked to the front, greeting the prince and the princess, Shen Wanzhu got off the sedan chair slowly, she deliberately rubbed and didn't want to go to Shen Wanzhen to wait, she always wanted face, not to mention that in her mother's house, the people in the house were not sure how to chew the root of the tongue and laugh at her.
Shen Wanzhen has been informed that Shen Fu will return to his parents' house on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and in the morning, Master Shen asked people to go to the gate to look, and when they saw the shadow of the palace sedan chair, they ran into the house and passed through.
Master Shen didn't expect the prince to come to the Shen family in person, and when he heard the reply from his subordinates, he was so panicked that he was dressed properly while walking, and hurriedly walked out to greet him.
Zhao Shijiao and Shen Wanzhen got off the sedan chair, Shen Wanzhen inadvertently glanced back, Shen Wanzhu rubbed her steps, and did not step forward, Zhao Shijiao did not pay attention to Shen Wanzhu behind, took Shen Wanzhen's hand, and the two entered the gate of Shen Mansion side by side.
As soon as the people knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads, they sang the promise of "greeting the prince and princess"
As soon as the two of them walked to the atrium, Master Shen and his wife rushed out, Master Shen arrived, fell to the ground, and knelt on the ground with his wife Wu, "The lower official greets the late, and the prince forgives the sin." ”
Zhao Shijiao gave a false support, "Lord Shen is exempt"
Shen Wanzhen helped her mother-in-law, "The prince and princess, please." Master Shen got up and respectfully let the prince and princess go first.
A group of people rushed to the hall around the prince and the princess, Shen Wanzhu sneered, followed behind, everyone in the Shen Mansion flattered the prince and the princess, and no one paid attention to her.
When he went up to the hall, Master Shen said respectfully: "Please take a seat for the prince and the princess." ”
Zhao Shijiao and Shen Wanzhen sat down, Master Shen and his wife sat down to accompany the prime minister, Shen Wanzhu stood aside, and the princess and concubine were not qualified to set up a seat.
When the concubines of the Shen Mansion heard that the prince accompanied his girl back to her parents' house, they all beckoned to come to see the excitement, Aunt Zhang was in the room, and the little maid ran in, "Auntie, the third girl and the fifth girl are all back to their parents' house." ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly rushed to the front hall when she heard this, and heard the next person say, the prince is also here, the female relatives of the Shen Mansion dare not show up, Aunt Zhang went in the back door of the hall, and a maid in the house is also peeking behind the curtain, Aunt Zhang passed, everyone got out of the way, Aunt Zhang secretly looked inside, her eyes were facing Zhao Shijiao and Shen Wanzhen who were seated, and her hand opened the gap between the curtains, and looked around, and saw the five girls and the maids standing respectfully, which was originally happy, but became uncomfortable.
I heard Master Shen say: "The prince appreciates his face, and the Shen family is honored to come to the house in person." ”
Prince An said in a harmonious voice: "Lord Shen is the father of the princess, and he is also the elder of this king, a family, no need to be polite." ”
Master Shen had already seen that when the prince spoke, he looked at his daughter with gentle eyes from time to time, and the daughter was a princess, and the prince also valued her, not to mention how happy Master Shen was in his heart.
Zhao Shijiao waved his hand, and the people of the palace carried the New Year's gift and piled it up in the hall, and the people at the door all rushed to take a look.
Wu looked at the full hall of New Year's gifts and smiled, "Let the prince break the bill." ”
At this time, a subordinate ran over and whispered a few words to Master Shen.
"Lord and princess, the banquet is set, and I respectfully invite the prince and the princess to appreciate their faces."
Zhao Shijiao was accompanied by Master Shen and ate wine in the front hall, and Shen Wanzhen was accompanied by Wu and went to the back hall.
As soon as the prince left, Aunt Zhang walked out from behind the curtain and grabbed Shen Wanzhu who was walking. "The three girls are really beautiful, it's a good fate."
Zhang glared at her, thinking that she was too talkative.
Her sister-in-law pouted secretly, watching the mother and daughter go to the flower hall.
Shen Wanzhu looked back and saw that her aunt hadn't followed, and asked quietly, "Why did she come here?" ”
Aunt Zhang was a little embarrassed, half-swallowing and half-spitting; "Your uncle came to join me, and my wife accepted it and arranged to do things in the house."
"My aunt is the master, my aunt's family is the envoy, and the people in the house look at it, and my aunt's face is not good-looking, even if Bao'er has such an uncle, she is embarrassed." Shen Wanzhu was in a bad mood and complained about her aunt.
"It's not that I took them in, it's that my wife promised your uncle to come to the house to do things, and the stakes were said, but your uncle didn't listen, and said that he was grateful to his wife, saying that if his wife didn't take them in, the two of them might freeze and starve to death."
"This is not a slap in the face of my aunt, the woman is not self-aware, swaggering around the house, this is not deliberately reminding my aunt that she is from a low background." Shen Wanzhu was angry with the Wu family, she was born to Aunt Zhang, she lost everything, she was prosperous, her aunt had no face, she was from a humble background, and she could go there.
Shen Wanzhen helped Wu to walk towards the back flower hall.
"Your sisters are back today, the six girls came alone, and your cousin Lan accompanied your cousin back to her parents' house." Wu walked and said.
"The fourth sister is also back?" Shen Wanzhen asked.
Wu sighed, "Your fourth sister has been living in her mother's house and has not returned to her mother-in-law's house. ”
Shen Wanzhen didn't know about the fourth girl Shen Wanyun, so she asked casually, seeing that her mother-in-law's face was not good, she knew that Shen Wanyun probably had something to do with her mother-in-law.
"Didn't my sister-in-law come to pick up the fourth sister back during the New Year?" She had a hunch that the relationship between Shen Wanyun and her in-laws was tense.
"I didn't come, it must be her mother-in-law who didn't let me come, her son-in-law listened to his mother, he was a filial son, he was afraid of his mother, and he didn't even dare to come out."
Saying this, I saw that Aunt Ding came with Shen Wanyu, "Sister is back." Shen Wanyu squatted and was blessed.
"My sister also came back, but my niece didn't come back with me?"
"Stay at home, the nurse watches, afraid to see the living, crying at night." Shen Wanyu mentioned her daughter, and her face glowed softly.
"My sister has been cleared." Shen Wanzhen looked her up and down, and said in her heart, Shen Wanyu has lost weight, not as good as the original plump complexion, looking at the dry and rough skin, of course, these words remained in the stomach, and did not say it.
"The third aunt and grandmother are getting better and better-looking, and I heard that the prince has also come back with the third aunt and grandmother." Aunt Ding smiled flatteringly and said that it was not a good feeling to see her girl alone.
Shen Wanzhen smiled and hummed.
Seeing that Shen Wanyu's expression was uncomfortable, she took her hand, "My niece didn't come, I still prepare things for her, go back and bring it back to my sister!" ”
"Sister Xie remembers."
"Don't stand in the courtyard and talk, go to the hall to eat and talk." Wu was in a bad mood and could barely cope.
The flower hall set up wine, Shen Wanzhen repeatedly pushed and let go, and sat on the table, Wu sat sideways to accompany each other, Shen Wanyu and Aunt Ding sat together, Shen Wanzhen saw Shen Wanzhu and Aunt Zhang coming in from outside, and Xiao Sun waved his hand to greet him.
Shen Wanyun didn't come out, probably having a bad New Year, the eighth girl Shen Wanxin came in and saw Shen Wanzhen and ran over to her, "The third sister is back." ”
Shen Wanzhen pulled her over and sat beside her, "Sister brought you a lot of good things, and I will give them to you after the banquet is over." ”
Shen Xuanzhen saw Feng'er at a glance, Feng'er smiled at her, and it was inconvenient to come over next to Wu's side.
Seeing this, Wu said, "Feng'er is pregnant." ”
"When?" Shen Wanzhen looked at Feng'er and thought, no wonder Feng'er's face was very bad.
"It's been two months, this girl hasn't known the way, it's just that she started to vomit for a while, and the old man looked for a doctor to take a look, and then I knew that the road was happy."
Shen Wanzhen nodded at Feng'er and smiled, Feng'er knew what happened to her, red-faced, embarrassed.
In the middle of the meal, Shen Wanzhen saw that there was a maid behind the curtain and waved her hand to call Wu, Wu's went out, it turned out to be Qiushuang in Aunt Zhang's house, Wu's went to the east, Qiushuang saw that there was no one left and right, followed in, and closed the door when he entered the house.
"Got something?" Wu asked a little nervously.
"Got it, wife." Qiushuang took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to Wu.
Wu took it, looked at it carefully, and sneered, "How much wine did you drink, master, and let her deceive in a daze." ”
Let's say, Wu put the paper in the brazier and lit it, watching it ignite little by little, "Don't tell anyone about this, don't talk to anyone." ”
"Don't worry, ma'am, the slave won't say anything." Qiushuang hurriedly made a statement and asked his wife to put her heart in her stomach.
"Carry you to do the work of intercourse, I will tell the master."
Qiushuang was so happy that she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Mrs. Xie lifts, the slave and maid are the wife's people, and if the wife is useful to the slave and maid in the future, the slave and the maid will definitely be dedicated." ”
Shen Wanzhen chatted with Shen Wanxin, and Wu came back from behind, his face was calm, and he glanced at Aunt Zhang, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
At the end of the morning, the family banquet was dispersed, and the ladies of the Shen Mansion gathered in the upper room of the wife, and Aunt Ding asked with a smile: "The son-in-law of the fourth girl didn't come?" ”
Wu's eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced at her in disgust, Aunt Ding pretended not to see, "I heard that the fourth girl's husband and daughter-in-law are the mother-in-law of Prince Li, if this woman's maiden family is powerful, life in her husband's family will be better." ”
Wu glared at her, and said with a dark face: "Don't talk about other people's affairs, or care more about the six girls, how can the six girls look like they lack water, and they wilt." ”
Ding Shi was in no mood all of a sudden, and his thoughts of schadenfreude were all gone, Shen Xuanyu didn't sleep well tonight, I don't know if she lost weight too fast, her body was out of balance, she was worried.
Shen Wanzhen pondered in her heart, the sister-in-law of the fourth girl Shen Wanyun is the in-law of Prince Li, but her father-in-law was recently transferred to an idle position, not only did he not be promoted, but he was demoted, does the emperor's approach mean something?
At this time, a maid came over, "Third aunt and grandmother, my uncle asked the third aunt if she is going back now?" ”
Wu glanced at her, "Nonsense, is it your name to call uncle?" ”
The little girl stuck out her tongue, "It's the prince"
Wu looked at her, and Shen Wanzhen said: "Tell the prince, I will put on my clothes and go out immediately." ”
Look at Shen Wanzhu, "Mrs. Shen, can you go back?" ”
Shen Wanzhu was so angry that she hated her to death, Shen Wanzhen never forgot to remind her of her identity, and her face twisted, "I'll stay at my mother's house for two days and then go back to the palace, you tell the prince." ”
Shen Wanzhu deliberately used you, not to be called a princess.
Shen Wanzhen got up to say goodbye to everyone, went to the front to find Zhao Shijiao, and a female family sent her to the middle gate.
Zhao Shijiao saw her enter the hall and stood up, "I thought I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect you to come out so quickly." ”
Master Shen heard the prince and his wife call you and me, and they were intimate with each other, and his heart blossomed.
Master Shen sent his daughter and son-in-law to the gate, and only turned around and entered the mansion until he saw that he got into the sedan chair.
Master Shen walked to the inner house, went to the upper room, entered the middle gate, walked not far, and saw a woman walking out step by step, walking opposite him, the woman walked in front of him, not as timid as ordinary servants, but raised her head, held her chest up, made a gesture, and squatted, "The slave has seen the master." ”
Master Shen looked at her, his face was sheng, he had never seen this woman, "You are in that room?" ”
"The slave and maid are in charge of the treasury, and the master doesn't know the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are Aunt Zhang's maiden sister-in-law." As the woman spoke, her eyes slipped into Master Shen's face, full of charm.
After all, Master Shen is an official, and he can't get used to this vulgar style, and he saw a bright golden hairpin on her head at a glance, and thought to himself, this must have been given by Aunt Zhang, who was from a humble background, and probably didn't go to her mother's house.
"Master, I don't have some fun in this big year."
The woman saw that Master Shen didn't squeak, and leaned up more and more, this was clearly to seduce Master Shen, Master Shen snorted, raised his legs and left.
The woman saw that Master Shen ignored her stubble, and went out of the middle door in a daze.
Master Shen went to the upper room, Wu was talking to Shen Wanyun, Master Shen looked at his daughter-in-law, and sighed lightly in his heart, "After the New Year, if your mother-in-law doesn't come to pick you up, I will send you back." ”
Wu looked at Master Shen, his eyebrows were full of worry, and he called: "Master"
"You still want her to stay at her parents' house for the rest of her life and not go back, the young couple has conflicts, and the longer it drags on, the more angry it gets."
"took the initiative to send her back to her husband's house, her husband's family didn't take her seriously, and the four girls would have a hard time at her husband's house in the future." Wu said worriedly.
"The father is right, the daughter can't live in her mother's house for the rest of her life, and when the New Year comes, the daughter will go back and ask her mother-in-law for sin." Shen Wanyun still understands a little.
"Daughter retires" Shen Wanyun saw that her father had something to say to her mother, so she went inside.
Wu personally held the tea, and Master Shen took a sip and said, "Aunt Zhang's brother and sister-in-law entered the mansion to do things?" ”
"Aunt Zhang's brother eats wine and gambles every day, the family is surrounded by walls, and the hometown can't survive, so he went to Beijing to go to our house, and wants to find a job in the house, I look really pitiful, and for the sake of Aunt Zhang's face, I took them in, and her brother arranged for the gate to be an errand boy, and her sister-in-law found a light job in the inner house, so as to reward him with a mouthful of food."
When Master Shen took his sister as a concubine, the Zhang family was in the brewing business, which was also decent, and Master Shen was not very satisfied with Aunt Zhang's brother and sister-in-law as slaves in the house, and he didn't say it, now that Feng'er is pregnant, Master Shen is all about the child in Feng'er's belly, because of her mother's family, since then, Aunt Zhang has been a little down.
As soon as Shen Wanzhen and Zhao Shizhen entered the palace, the second housekeeper Jiang Huaide greeted them and said, "King Ping just sent a box of things, saying that the prince's wedding was not in the capital, and the congratulatory gift was made up." ”
Jiang Huaide's voice lowered a little, "King Ping said that if the princess doesn't like it, throw it away." ”
Shen Wanzhen was annoyed when she heard this, it seems that King Ping is not going to stop, what does this person want to do? Chengxin didn't let her have a peaceful birthday.
Zhao Shijiao strode towards the hall.
There was a mahogany box in the hall, Zhao Shijiao twisted his eyebrows, didn't look at it, waved his hand, "Send Curry." ”
The subordinate carried him past Shen Xuanzhen.
Zhao Shizhen stood with his back to Shen Wanzhen, and Shen Wanzhen stepped forward, stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and put her face on his back.
