Chapter 274: Sisters with Different Surnames (1st Update)
After all, the Chen family is a noble family, and as soon as Shu Yao stepped into the Sincerity Mansion, she felt the fragrance of books.
Mother Zhang, who was beside Nian'er, was waiting at the gate early, with a smiling face like a blooming chrysanthemum. Xu Nian'er became a man in one fell swoop, and the waists and poles around her were straighter.
Mother Zhang is now more and more respectful and affectionate to Shu Yao, on the one hand, because Shu Yao's identity is becoming more and more valuable, and she is already above her own girl. Zhang's mother hopes that Xu Nian'er can maintain good relations with Shu Yao, not to mention anything else, even in Chen's mansion, the old lady will pay more attention to Xu Nian'er.
And another more important reason is that Xu's mother privately believes that Shu Yao is a person who can bring good luck to her relatives and friends, and those who make good friends with Shu Yao's three siblings are all blessed. Needless to say, those neighborhoods in Yulin County are all vivid examples when you look closer.
Look, Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis got a daughter as she wished, and the queen was even more powerful, she got a pair of dragon and phoenix twins after Concubine Li lost her twins, and now Xu Nian'er is also a man in one fell swoop......
Anyway, Zhang's mother has seen and experienced it with her own eyes, since Xu Nian'er returned to Yulin a few years ago and became friends with Shu Yao, she has become more and more beautiful, her temperament has become more and more cheerful, she has married a good father-in-law, and her mother's family has become more and more powerful, and now she has given birth to the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family... In short, except for the mother-in-law who is a little annoyed and the sister-in-law who is a little troubled, it can really be regarded as a smooth sail.
On the other hand, looking at those who have a bad relationship with the three Shuyao brothers and sisters, the "bad luck" of Murong Mansion is now the most lively issue in the streets and alleys, as well as Xia Ruoxue, and the second room of the Xu family, all of which are unlucky.
Chen Wenhao and Xu Nian'er are the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and their courtyard is the largest and best courtyard in the entire mansion except for the main courtyard where Chengyi Bo and his wife live. Step through the courtyard door. Shu Yao, who was sensitive to five senses, smelled the light and pleasant fragrance of bamboo.
Zhang's mother smiled: "Uncle is a good bamboo." There is a small bamboo grove at the back of the yard. Big grandma also likes tight now. Married into the Chen Mansion, Zhang's mother and other subordinates who came over to marry also changed their names to Nian'er "grandmother".
Shu Yao pursed her lips and smiled, literati always like the elegant and indifferent Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum "four gentlemen", as long as the noble family is not down, the mansion is big enough, most of them will have a bamboo forest or plum forest, or even both, as a symbol of their noble character.
But. Chen Fu and Chen Wenhao's reputation has always been good, Chen Wenhao and Shujie are fellow scholars, and now they are working in the Ministry of Rites, I heard that they are hard-working, not exaggerated, and the prospects are very good.
When she arrived at Nian'er's bedroom, Shu Yao saw at a glance that Nian'er was stretching her neck and looking out, and said with a smile: "Sister Nian'er, your neck is already slender and beautiful enough, you don't need to stretch it anymore." ”
Nian'er chirped: "Okay, Yao'er, I haven't seen you for three years." I actually made fun of my sister. ”
Xu Nian'er was obviously plump a lot, and there were a few small spots on her white face. It looks like it is less delicate, but it adds a little bit of the charm of a young woman and the connotation of being a first-time mother, Shu Yao really thinks that this Xu Nian'er is more beautiful. She suddenly remembered a sentence she had once heard, a woman is the most beautiful when she is a mother, and a woman who has not been a mother is incomplete. The stillborn child in her previous life was her unbearable pain, how many times did she dream back at midnight, it was all shock, pain, and hatred at that time, and I don't know if any poor child has been reincarnated? Where is reincarnation?
In this life, what kind of direction can her life go? Will the nightmare of the past life be repeated? Will she still be planted in marriage? Qi Haoning's firm voice sounded in Shu Yao's ears: Yao'er, believe me.
The three words "believe me" are easy to say, but it is really difficult to do! However, since Shu Yao has decided to give herself and Qi Haoning a chance, she naturally won't give up easily, if she doesn't try, wouldn't it be completely hopeless?
Seeing Shu Yao staring at her thoughtfully, Nian'er touched her face unconfidently: "Sister Yao'er, am I ugly now?" "After pregnancy, the whole person gained a lot of weight, and my arms, waist, and legs were thicker.
Shu Yao pretended to glare at her: "What's ugly?" I was about to say that Sister Nian'er is more beautiful than before, didn't you notice that I was stunned? ”
Nian'er took another sip and scolded with a smile: "Stinky Nizi, where did you learn to talk nonsense?" Well, isn't that Ning Shizi so oily? ”
Shu Yao's face turned red: "What does this have to do with Ning Shizi?" Where did he offend his sister? Wronged him in vain. As soon as Shu Yao finished speaking, she immediately realized that something was wrong, looking at Nian'er blinking at her with a smile, her pretty face became more and more red and was about to drip blood.
As soon as she stomped her feet, Shu Yao began to play coquettishly: "People sincerely praise my sister, but I was tricked and didn't follow, in vain I bothered to prepare a special gift for my little nephew, and now I want to take it back." ”
Nian'er pointed at Shu Yao and smiled: "Shame or not? Have you done this aunt? Even if I offended you, the baby didn't offend you, how can you withhold the baby's gift? Hurry up and take it out! ”
The two were talking and laughing, and the maid reported that the lady and the third girl were coming, and before the maid's words fell, Mrs. Chengyi Bo and Chen Yueying had already stepped into the door.
Mrs. Chen looked over with a smile, her eyes fell on the gold-inlaid jade longevity lock in Shu Yao's hand, and then looked at the gifts that were full of goodies, all of them were first-class good things, and her face was even more blooming. Now Shu Yao is really a rich person, rich and rich.
Mrs. Chen stepped forward and took one of Shu Yao's hands, smiling like she was close to her elders: "The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, Miss Yao'er is really getting more and more beautiful, our eldest man (Nian'er's son) is blessed to have such a beautiful and excellent aunt who loves him." ”
Shu Yao felt that she was not familiar with Mrs. Chen, but for the sake of Nian'er's face, she was not in a hurry to withdraw her hand, she felt awkward, and when she heard Mrs. Chen's words again, she was a little crying and laughing, not to mention that she was not the baby's aunt, even if she was an aunt, whether she was beautiful or not, whether she was excellent or not, it was not a blessing for the baby, right?
Xu Nian'er was also embarrassed, looking at her mother-in-law's posture, it was as if Shu Yao was her daughter or daughter-in-law who had always been close to her.
In Nian'er's heart, Shu Yao is the little sister who has been good, well-behaved, and smart since childhood, and the relationship between them is not tainted with any other miscellaneous factors. Shu Yao's life is getting better and better, her status is getting higher and higher, she is really happy for Shu Yao, but she never thought that she could get any benefits from Shu Yao.
Nian'er is a woman who is at ease with her encounters and has a wide heart, she does not have a lot of prosperous and extravagant desires, she is still very satisfied with her husband and her living state. Chen Wenhao is down-to-earth and motivated, Nian'er's father Master Xu is very satisfied, and he has praised Nian'er for his son-in-law walking steadily step by step several times, isn't that enough? The Chen family is not very wealthy, but it is also a noble family, the imperial earl, and Nian'er herself also has a rich dowry, which is more than enough.
Nian'er really didn't feel that she had any need to compare with Yao'er's sister or cling to Yao'er's sister, if that did, she would despise herself, because she had tarnished her friendship with Shuyao for many years.
If Mrs. Chen knew these thoughts of Dao Nian'er, she would definitely jump up in anger and scold her for being unproductive and not helping her husband.
Mrs. Chen is also from a scholarly family, married to the Chen family for more than 20 years, and has always had a sense of superiority, but since her husband was made an earl and the family moved to the capital, she was disturbed by the prosperity of the capital and was fascinated by those real rich and noble families. Although the Chen family is a sincere earl, it is not hereditary, and after a hundred years of uncle, the aura of the Chen family is gone.
The Chen family has been a scholar for generations, even if they are officials, they are not good at camping, and they do not have any power and relationships in the officialdom. For example, Cheng Cheng Bo was awarded the title because of his and his deceased father's achievements in compiling history books and popularizing teaching materials (today's emperor does not need to be "foolish" to the people, believing that "the people know the etiquette and reason, and the Great Zhou can prosper forever").
Therefore, in Mrs. Chen's eyes, the current halo of glory of the Sincerity Bofu is just a beautiful soap bubble, which is not solid, has no strength, and will burst in a few decades.
How can someone who has already tasted shark fin be willing to go back to eating vermicelli? Mrs. Chen pinned all her hopes on a pair of children, but unfortunately although her son was admitted to the Jinshi, he failed to get the glory of the top three. It's just that the Sincerity Bofu is almost the family that has a title in the capital, but has the least power and network.
As for Chen Yueying's family affairs, it gave her a headache, whether it was high or low, their mother and daughter naturally wanted to choose the son-in-law of a powerful family, preferably the eldest son, but such people were extremely picky about choosing their daughters-in-law, especially their daughters-in-law, and they couldn't look down on the Chen family and Chen Yueying, let alone the eldest daughter-in-law. Ten days later, Chen Yueying's ceremony was due, but the family affairs have not been settled until now.
It has been eight or nine years since she arrived in the capital, and Mrs. Chen has also been moving around, but she has no choice but to save face, and she has never climbed into any heavyweight powerful family. The Chen family is a scholarly family, not poor, but there is absolutely no extra silver for her to cling to those extravagant relationships.
Finally, the daughter-in-law has Shuyao's handkerchief here, can she still catch it? Climbing to Shuyao is to climb to the Yongping Marquis Mansion, the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, and even the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and Nangong Mansion, and now it is even more powerful, directly climbing to the Yong Prince Mansion. Prince Yong is the only hereditary prince of the Great Zhou, and he is still the prince who is deeply valued by the emperor and has military power! Extraordinary magnates!
Climbing to Prince Yong's mansion, does Chen Wenhao still need to worry about his future? It's Chen Yueying, who can make friends with the future Prince and Princess Yong, and her worth can be doubled, right?
It's a pity that Nian'er is simple, pure, and doesn't care about this kind of thing, and Chen Yueying has offended Shu Yao even more, and Mrs. Chen has seen Shu Yao's alienated attitude towards Chen Yueying.
At this time, Mrs. Chen looked at Shu Yao, who was wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt (that is the new snow and fine sand from Nangong Buzhuang this year, and the material for pulling a dress costs at least one or two hundred taels of silver), the more she looked at it, the more she felt extravagant, and the more she looked at it, the more she "liked", and said excitedly: "I am happy when I look at Miss Yao'er, and I feel kind, like facing Ying'er." By the way, I said what's going on, I just think that Yao'er and Ying'er have a very similar temperament, and they feel unique, so it's better for you to worship as sisters with different surnames, and Tongnian'er is also a little closer and become a sister-in-law? (To be continued......)
