Chapter 457 Reporting
After Shi Nai sent Daoist Zhang away, his excitement still hadn't subsided, and now he was thinking about finding someone to share his happiness.
So he came to the back house in three steps and two steps, and saw his wife Zhang, who stepped forward and grabbed her hand, excited and didn't know what to say.
When the maid next to her saw this scene, she thought that Shi Nai was going to whisper something to Zhang. So they all withdrew with a smile.
Seeing Shi Nai's appearance, Zhang's face couldn't help but turn red, as he got old and decrepit over the years, Shi Nai no longer treated himself like before. What's going on today? As soon as he came, he grabbed his hand and didn't let go.
Shi Nai's saw the maids withdrawing, which was exactly what he wanted. So he pulled Zhang to the side of the bed and said, "Today, I did it according to your instructions." ”
Zhang was a little inexplicable at first, and then immediately reacted that it was Shi Xiangyun's marriage that she had discussed with Shi Nai.
If you want to say who in this mansion doesn't want to see Shi Xiangyun the most, I'm afraid it is this Mrs. Zhang.
As a man, Shi Nai, rarely pays attention to the affairs of the back house, so he doesn't have much to do with Shi Xiangyun, in his impression, Shi Xiangyun, although he has a strange personality, is his own niece after all.
But Mrs. Zhang is different, she has to meet Shi Xiangyun every day, and she has long been aware of Shi Xiangyun's weird temper, so she strongly advocates marrying Shi Xiangyun.
But for the sake of his family, he still put forward many harsh conditions, hoping for the best of both worlds, if it really doesn't work, one of them can be achieved and Amitabha.
Zhang didn't expect that the conditions she proposed, Shi Nai, would be able to do it. How does this make her unhappy?
"Which son?"
"It's our aunt's family, the eldest son in the Rongguo Mansion." Shi Nai said with some pride, after all, among them in the big family, only Jia Ke now has the highest official position.
Zhang frowned and thought for a while, and then said in surprise: "Isn't it, Jia Ke, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department?" ”
"Exactly."
"What if it was him? But isn't your eldest nephew already married? How can you marry our family Xiangyun again? Zhang said with some puzzlement.
Shi Nai didn't know how to explain to him, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Xiangyun just got married in the big house, just a second room. ”
What he said is still good, but what is not good is that Shi Xiangyun can only be a concubine when he marries.
After hearing what he said, Zhang was a little anxious, "How can this be done?" In this way, people in the world don't all say that we have treated her badly, and use her in exchange for the power of our family. ”
Shi Nai's face darkened when he heard her say this, "If people in the world want to say it, let them say it, you don't know what the situation in our family is now." If it weren't for you who knew how to operate, we probably wouldn't even be able to eat. Apart from the sign of this Houfu, what is left? ”
Zhang also sighed, she has worked hard all these years to maintain this family.
This is also Shi Nai's reasonableness, he did not live by the brand of the Hou Mansion, but thought about doing what he could, if he changed to another one to save face, now their family may not be able to eat.
Shi Nai saw that the Zhang family was a little shaken, and then said: "Besides, marrying the eldest brother of Rongguo Mansion is not a grievance against our family Xiangyun, then the eldest brother of Rongguo Mansion is now the Marquis of Wuyang." Speaking of which, our Xiangyun's father is just a white ding, and it can be regarded as Gao Pan if he can marry him as a concubine. ”
Zhang slowly persuaded himself, and felt more and more that this was a good family matter, if he climbed Jia Ke, the master of his family might be able to get an official and a half-job, and the situation at home would be good at that time.
Moreover, when Mrs. Zhang often gathers with other officials and wives, she listens to those ladies talking about how much their husbands pay tribute to each other every year, and how many people rush to give them gifts every day.
The more Zhang thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, when she married into the Baoling Marquis Mansion, she only felt that from now on she would enjoy endless glory and wealth. turned out to backfire, and now her life is a little worse than in her mother's house.
If this time the family affair is completed, she can be regarded as turning over.
So Zhang nodded and said to Shi Nai: "In this case, you will go to Rongguo Mansion in a few days, first, to meet your aunt, and secondly, to come back with a document and condemn this matter to death." ”
Shi Nai nodded yes and told the Zhang family that he would go to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow and that he would definitely settle the matter.
The two of them were talking about Shi Xiangyun's marriage here, but someone might as well listen to the corner under the window.
This person is Mrs. Yao Yinfeng's personal maid, her mother was originally serving in Shi Xiangyun's father's room, so she was very concerned about Shi Xiangyun, and now their family still thinks that Shi Xiangyun is their serious master.
She was originally waiting for her wife outside the house, but suddenly she seemed to hear Shi Xiangyun's name inside, so she secretly leaned in front of the window, wanting to hear what was going on inside?
As a result, she only heard half of it, so she clenched her angry teeth, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only go to the backyard and report to Shi Xiangyun.
Yao Yinfeng then explained a few words to a few little maids who were working together, and then left the front yard and walked towards the courtyard of Shi Xiangyun's house.
Yao Yinfeng came all the way to a remote courtyard in the backyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Shi Xiangyun's maid Cui Wei sitting at the door doing needlework.
Now in the Bowling Mansion, every girl can't be idle. There are endless things to do every day, and those who serve the lady like them are pretty good. Shi Xiangyun and her maid did not have a moment to be idle.
Part of these needlework is for their own home use, and part of it is sent to the homes of various magnates, to say that the reputation of the Baoling Hou Mansion is not very good, and now they are used as needlework workshops, but because of the high status of these people in their family, so those powerful people also love to use their things, after all, it sounds good to say, and there are things made by the daughter of the Hou Mansion.
Yao Yinfeng took a few steps forward, Cui Wei looked up and saw someone, first startled, and finally relieved to see that it was Yao Yinfeng.
"What's wrong with you, doing needlework here on a hot day, and you're not afraid of heat stroke?" Yao Yinfeng asked a little puzzled.
Cui Wei stood up and glanced inside before saying, "Our girl did needlework last night to do three watches, and this morning did another morning, and I fell asleep unconsciously just now." I didn't wake her up, wanting her to sleep in for a little longer, and I showed her outside. ”
Yao Yinfeng didn't feel that his eyes were red when he heard these words, how could people outside think of the dignified Miss Marquis, who actually did needlework to do three watches, and she was tired and could only sleep secretly.
While they were talking, a hearty laugh came from inside, "Who's coming?" Why don't you change me, today's needlework, but it's going to be delayed. ”
Yao Yinfeng choked up with tears in her eyes and said, "Miss is me, Yinfeng." ”
After Yao Yinfeng said this, he entered the door by himself. When I came in, I saw Shi Xiangyun lying lazily on the bed, with a sewing cage next to him, and a bunch of patterns on the table, which seemed to be only halfway done. And there is a pair of shoes on Shi Xiangyun's bed, which looks like a man.
Yao Yinfeng's eyes turned around on those shoes a few times, and he immediately understood, who is this for? To say that Xiangyun and others, although they are doing needlework for people, they have not done the style of a man except for their own relatives. Now I actually stayed up late to make shoes for a man, and the reason for this is unknown.
Shi Xiangyun saw her coming and beckoned her to sit on the edge of the bed. He also got up from the bed, leaned on the quilt and asked, "You are not waiting in front, what are you doing here?" ”
As soon as Yao Yinfeng heard Shi Xiangyun ask her, she immediately remembered Shi Xiangyun's fate, and the tears that were originally in her eyes were now unbearable, and she immediately rolled out.
When Shi Xiangyun looked at her, he knew that what she brought was not good news, but Shi Xiangyun has always been open-minded, although he is not living well now, and he has quite a lot of complaints, but he has not given up hope.
"Sister Yinfeng, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it, and at my point, there is nothing else to say. Shi Xiangyun instead began to persuade Yao Yinfeng to get up.
Yao Yinfeng held back her crying and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Miss, Master Hou has set a family affair for you, I just heard it under the window." ”
Shi Xiangyun's face immediately turned red when she heard this, no matter how big her personality was, how could a girl not be shy when she heard this.
"Which son-in-law is it, isn't it that the family affairs are not very good, which makes you unhappy?" Shi Xiangyun said with some melancholy, the shyness just now was gone, and his eyes were full of sadness.
To say that Xiangyun really has such a person in his heart now, but seeing that person has already been married, he can only silently pay attention to it in his heart, and now he is going to have a family, it seems that he has no part in this life.
Yao Yinfeng's face was full of sadness, "Miss, this family's family affairs are also one in the capital. There are only one or two that can compare to his family. ”
Shi Xiangyun asked strangely: "In that case, what else is bad?" ”
At the same time, Shi Xiangyun also felt strange in her heart, this uncle of hers was so kind and able to spend so much effort to find such a powerful family for her.
Yao Yinfeng couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately burst into tears, "Miss, why is your life so bitter?" Although they told you that you were rich, they let you be a concubine. Where is this uncle, it is clearly an enemy. ”
When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he was also stunned and couldn't move. She originally thought that no matter how bad her uncle was to set her family, she was just a small family, but she never thought that she would become a concubine.
Shi Xiangyun temporarily stabilized his mind, and then said tremblingly: "Which one did they order for me, they actually have such a prestige, and they want to make the young lady of the Hou Mansion a concubine." ”
