Chapter 70
Shu Manyao coughed lightly, and Aunt Wang hurriedly restrained her expression a little. Shu Manyao's expression was a little embarrassed, and it was really difficult to find an excuse to pull Aunt Wang. But if you don't pull Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, who is the only one who is good, may not be willing to help her.
"My aunt thought about it, and wanted to frame her daughter, but it didn't have to be Cao Wei who entered this backyard." Shu Manyao tried to straighten her face: "Compared with my aunt and me, who is the most dangerous to Zheming?" ”
Aunt Wang looked at the little chubby dun who was a little sleepy, so do you still need to ask? The biggest threat to Shu Zheming is the second male grandson of the Shu family.
"If Aunt Wang doesn't abide by women's morals, no matter how much grandmother and father love the little brother, can you feel comfortable when you see the little brother?" Shu Manyao said slowly: "And I'm different, the reason why the Xu family wants to harm me is only for the dowry left to me by my mother, if my reputation is bad, can the reputation of Man Jin and Man Yu be good?" ”
Aunt Wang thought that the Xu family had always only regarded their children as eyeballs, and they were reluctant to ruin the reputation of Man Jin and Man Yu.
Shu Manyao sighed in her heart, Aunt Wang looks smart, but she is actually quite coaxing.
"So, I want to take the stewardship in Xu's hands, and then find out how Xu's tricked Cao Wei, and then take Cao Wei for his own use." Shu Manyao said with a smile: "My aunt stumped the Xu family with the things sent by the Xu family, I want to take the opportunity to check the people around the Xu family, especially the people brought back from Jiangnan, as well as the Xu family, the nurse is so old, but she left her hometown for the Xu family, she must be the most trusted confidant of the Xu family, and she is afraid that she also knows the affairs of the Xu family." ”
"But, isn't it too obvious that the two of us are joining forces?" Aunt Wang was about to nod, but suddenly asked, "If the old lady sees the flaws......
"Auntie, don't worry, even if there is a flaw, grandmother won't say it." Shu Manyao shook her head, reached out and touched the cheek of the little brother who was already asleep: "What grandmother wants is just an excuse, but, auntie, don't think that there is a grandmother to support us, it doesn't matter if there are flaws in this matter, Xu is the wife of the Shu family, once she backhands the power, the aunt is afraid that she will not be able to stay in the Shu family anymore." ”
Aunt Wang's face was solemn, she thought about it, and shook her head again: "The eldest girl said before, the eldest girl only needs two years, but there are at least four years before the eldest young master marries a wife, so for the remaining two years, does the eldest girl plan to let the old lady come forward to take care of the house?" ”
"No, Man Jin and Man Yu are not young anymore." Shu Manyao said with a smile, she planned to let the old lady come forward before, after all, the old lady is very good now, but just now her mind turned around and changed her mind, as long as Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu are not of the same heart, are the two housekeepers afraid that there is no opportunity to take advantage of?
"The eldest girl is not afraid that the second girl and the third girl will join forces to deal with you?" Aunt Wang raised her eyebrows slightly, and Shu Manyao got up: "Auntie, you think too much, now, all we have to do is to let the Xu family hand over the housekeeping, as for the future, where there is a place for the aunt, I will definitely not be polite." "If you don't need it, it's no good to inquire now.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I understand, big girl, wait for my letter." ”
Shu Manyao nodded: "I can trust my aunt, but my aunt is not willing to take risks with my little brother, so I can only let other people take risks, this candidate, my aunt must choose well, not only to let the old lady know, but also not to let Xu refute, aunt, I can wait for your letter." ”
Smiling, Shu Manyao stretched out his hand and pulled the little brother's little quilt up: "If this thing is done, I will not treat my aunt badly, and my aunt also knows that my mother only left me as a daughter, the underground is desolate, and my father loves my mother, if I say, I want to have a son for my mother......" The various benefits promised before are just ordinary, and the current one is the greatest sweetness for Aunt Wang.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Aunt Wang was stunned, and Shu Manyao didn't care, turned around and left. Although this dynasty is also tolerant of women, it is rare to support concubines as wives, especially in the homes of eunuchs, which are almost none. Once Aunt Wang was a concubine, she couldn't turn over in this life.
The son and daughter she gave birth to, no matter how much she liked the old lady and the old man, it was also a concubine. Now, Shu Manyao put an opportunity for a concubine to become a concubine in front of Aunt Wang.
Of course, this matter is actually not easy to do, even if the old lady still has love for Man Yao's mother in her heart, even if Shu Chengye still has deep affection for Man Yao's mother, they will not be easily willing to move the Shu family's concubines for a dead person.
Before the little brother was born, Shu Zheming was always the only son of the Shu family, or a sister-in-law, whether it was the old lady or Shu Chengye, the effort spent on Shu Zheming could definitely be regarded as painstaking effort. Therefore, even if they dislike the Xu family to the core, they will definitely not shake Shu Zheming's status.
And once the little brother becomes the child of Man Yao's mother, his background will be higher than Shu Zheming's, the original son-in-law, stepwife and son-in-law, this does not need to be compared at all. At that time, the little brother will become the heir of the Shu family, and Shu Zheming will move back. Even if the old lady and Shu Chengye hurt Shu Manyao to the bone, it would be absolutely impossible for them to agree to this matter.
What Shu Manyao can imagine, Aunt Wang can also imagine. Shu Manyao herself was not sure, and Aunt Wang was not sure at all, but just for Shu Manyao's words, for such a thought, Aunt Wang was willing to help Shu Manyao.
She didn't want her little brother to inherit the Shu family's property or anything, just for her little brother's reputation and future. Although this is not like the previous dynasty, the concubine and the concubine are almost equal to half a slave, but the status is definitely not high.
When she returned to the courtyard, Xia Xi asked a little nervously: "Girl, did you really promise to give Mrs. a stepson?" ”
Shu Manyao nodded: "Although I don't have any resentment and disgust towards Zheming, if I deal with the Xu family in the future, Zheming will definitely not be close to me, and naturally he will not have too much filial piety for my mother, maybe, even give my mother a pillar of incense will be reluctant, what I want is a person who can sincerely worship my mother, so ......"
"But the old man and the old lady will definitely not agree!" Xia Xi was a little anxious, Shu Manyao patted her on the shoulder: "What are you anxious about, we didn't say that we would do this right away." Three years, five years, ten years and eight years, when Zheming marries a wife and has children, no one can shake his status, maybe his grandmother and father will be able to agree? ”
Moreover, no matter how many sons-in-law there are in front of him, the identity of Shu Zheming's eldest son will not change, as long as Shu Zheming does not drill the horns, are you afraid that someone will compete with him for family property?
However, if there is Xu Shi in front of him, maybe Shu Zheming will think about it. So, no matter what, you have to press Xu down first.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Shu Manyao cleaned up and went to the old lady: "My brother is very cute, and he spit bubbles at me today, when I didn't enter the door, my brother cried, I heard it from afar, but when I picked up my brother, my brother stopped crying, and smiled at me, grandmother didn't see it, how cute my brother is." ”
A maid announced, and Xu took Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu into the door: "I heard Man Yao talking from afar, what did she say to her mother, so happy." If you want me to say, our family, it will be Manyao to win the favor of your mother, and you will laugh in three or two sentences, Manjin and Manyu have to learn from your big sister, this is a piece of filial piety to your grandmother. ”
"Don't ask the children, no matter what they do, they're all my granddaughters, what's not to like about me?" The old lady said with a smile, stretched out her finger, and motioned for Xu to sit down: "Today's matter has been dealt with?" ”
"Yes, Lao Niang is worried, there were rules set by my mother before, and my daughter-in-law only acts according to the rules, and it is very simple to deal with things every day, and it is not difficult." Xu said with a smile, and looked at Shu Manyao again: "Speaking of which, mother, I still have something I want to ask you." ”
The old lady nodded, and Xu said with a smile: "Seeing that the weather is getting better and better day by day, it is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, and it should be hot in another month, so I thought, taking advantage of the refreshing wind at this time, and it happened that the child's uncle's family came over, so I asked Man Yao and her sisters to take Xue Rong out to play together, and also invited the little girl of the Bai family, as well as the little girl of the Li family, more people and more lively." ”
The old lady muttered: "This is a good idea, some time ago, Man Yao Sui followed me out to play for a lot of time, but they are all old, where can I have fun, if they are all a group of little girls, it is a pleasure." Have you chosen this location? ”
Xu shook his head a little embarrassedly: "My daughter-in-law first arrived in the capital, and I still followed my mother to see you a few times, where can I know what is interesting and beautiful in this capital, and my daughter-in-law is just an idea, and I have to decide if I want to do it." ”
"Grandmother, can you go to the outskirts of Beijing?" Shu Manyao hurriedly hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly said: "I heard the sister of the Li family say last time that there is a garden on the outskirts of Beijing, full of peach trees, and in March and April, the scenery is not to mention how beautiful." ”
The old lady thought for a while before saying: "I also have some impression of that garden, it has been built for more than 20 years, and only peach trees are planted in it, but the garden belongs to Prince Yi's mansion, and I am afraid that our family cannot borrow it." ”
Shu Manyao was a little regretful, but he didn't force it, and proposed another location with a smile: "What about Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing?" The gardens in the capital, although they are all very good-looking, but after looking at them for a long time, just like that, almost all the gardens look the same, but the Zhuangzi may be more fun. ”
Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu also agreed: "The garden in the capital is not as interesting as the one in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are all very ingenious, grandmother, is there any fun Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing?" The old lady thought for a while, and really nodded: "There are a lot of Zhuangzi in our family, but if you can go to play, as long as one of the Zhuangzi in the dowry of Man Yaoniang's mother is not far from the suburbs of Beijing, if you drive the carriage, you can arrive in an hour."
