Chapter 31: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
Shen Fu was silent, only led the house doctor into the door, she sat with Songting behind the curtain, Songting fell asleep, Shen Fu had to hold steady, but in his heart he still cared about what Aunt Qi said, it is true that now Zhou Yun in the house is powerful, and the Tibetan Pearl Courtyard is even more filthy and dirty, she still has no ability to clean, let alone the huge Shen family, how many Zhou Yun eyeliner there are.
The doctor of Nafu was not very old, and after taking the pulse, he put the money away, and gave Songting a prescription, before he left with the medicine bag, and Aunt Qi also left, but Shen Fu was worried, and the owner of Fang helped Songting to rest, Shen Fu privately called out nephrite, and the master and servant stood under the eaves, watching the dark clouds outside the eaves gradually rise, and the goose feathers and heavy snow fell from the sky, she said: "Nephrite, Songting has been paying more attention these days, and if you have time, you will take the red stamen back, which is of great use." ”
Nephrite said yes, frowned slightly, and thought of Hongrui's origin, her lips opened and closed, and she hesitated to spit out the words: "Hongrui was born in the main courtyard, and since the girl has already reprimanded, why take her back to add trouble?" Everything in the courtyard is complicated, you ......"
She was halfway through her words, but was stopped by Shen Fu and said: "It's okay, she is just a chess piece, she doesn't need to care about her background, you just do it, and after a while, I will separate the pair of concentric hairpins that I don't wear, and send them to Aunt Qi and Aunt Ning, and then tell Aunt Qi that she is right, and she doesn't have to do more about the rest, she naturally understands clearly,"
At this time, the wind suddenly rose, Shen Fu couldn't stand it a little, turned straight back to the house, her eyelashes drooped, with the power of one person, she naturally found it difficult to do anything to Zhou Yun, if there was Aunt Ning Qi, or she could give it a try, but with Ning and Aunt Qi, which one is good to get along with? Shen Fu thought of Aunt Qi's flattering gesture, and couldn't help but sneer in a low voice, they were all beautiful snakes.
Songting is injured, it is half a moon, seeing that the New Year is approaching, Aunt Qi's body is getting heavier and heavier, although it has just come out of March, her lower abdomen is not like words, Mrs. Shen values this fetus, and hurriedly asked the house doctor to diagnose it, but said that it may be twins, Zhou Yun was bitter and mean, secretly embarrassed and did not mention it, that day sent a concentric hairpin, with Ning and Shen Fu privately formed an alliance, Aunt Qi also thought that she was worry-free, and said another way, as for Shen Yu's injury, there is nothing to try to approach Song Jin from Shen Fu's side, it is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, Shen Fu took back Hongrui and secretly planned.
"I heard that there was a fake monk who claimed to be from Jiming Temple, and he almost killed Tibetan pearls, what happened? Zhou, if you can't preside over the Shen family, my wife doesn't mind meddling. ”
Today's twenty-nine, the Shen family's rule is to eat together, and then go to Jiming Temple to pray for blessings, Mrs. Shen has long known that Yuanrong had an accident, but she didn't hide it, but it happened that today she mentioned the three words of Jiming Temple, so she took the opportunity to make trouble, Zhou Yun ate the jade roll unhurriedly, and the warm pearl rice porridge entrance, before putting down the chopsticks and replying: "This matter is indeed the daughter-in-law's negligence, but the daughter-in-law has never stepped into the Jiming Temple, and it is really helpless to admit the wrong monk, and I hope my mother will forgive me." ”
Carrying Ning chopsticks osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, sipped into the mouth, only to smile and said: "Sister-in-law said something wrong, Jiming Temple century-old ancient temple, not everyone can enter, admit the mistake of the monk can not be linked to this, Tibetan beads, this chestnut flour cake, I taste good, I will go to Jiming Temple to burn incense later, you bring some to eat on the road, how about?" ”
Shen Fu didn't participate in the idea of the topic, but took Ning to pull her into the water, she looked at Zhou Yun helplessly, and deeply felt that Mrs. Shen was capable, and only stayed in Shen's house for half a month, Zhou Yun's self-cultivation and self-cultivation skills have grown a lot, and she has been trained by Mrs. Shen a lot, and she mentioned going to Jiming Temple to worship at this time, and she is the only one every year, which will provoke Zhou Yun's sight, Shen Fu is reluctant to come out this year, bow his head and drink porridge, the winter bamboo shoots in his mouth are fresh, crisp and sweet, but let her be a little concerned: "I'm afraid I can't do it this year, my aunt also knows, I am recovering from a serious illness." , I can't bear the hard work of the cars and horses, why don't my aunt bring some silk for me? ”
She smiled and refused, Zhou Yun had the heart to blame, but Shen Fu's so-called "initial recovery from a serious illness" made people unable to find out the thorns, who didn't know that the eldest girl had been sick for half a month, and these days were barely good, Shen Fu was realistic, and did not forget to put a heavy layer of lead powder on her face, and she covered her lips and coughed lightly at this time, but she was really a little sick and weak, and she was happy in her heart, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and the host of Jiming Temple was willing to regard Jiming Temple as the Shen family temple, if she visited with her aunt, wouldn't it be considered a Shen family.
Just when she was overjoyed, Old Madam Shen was unusual, and did not agree, but said unexpectedly: "No need, let Aunt Qi accompany her, she has a son in her womb and an innocent background, which just opened the eyes of the ancestors and the ancestors, and you are not the wife of the Shen family now, and it is still a little rude to go to worship together." ”
After some words, Aunt Qi was overjoyed, but Zhou Yun was depressed and almost angry on the spot, but Shen Yu quietly clenched Zhou Yun's palm in private, and his eyes signaled, this breakfast will be spent like this, and after the end, Shen Fu led Nephrite to leave without mentioning it, and when only Zhou Yun's mother and daughter were left in the house, she could no longer suppress her anger: "It's really an old pious woman, and she refuses to take me away if she lifts up a slut, and that Qi family, but there are many pieces of meat, you dare to be so frivolous!" ”
She was clearly angry, Shen Yu rinsed her mouth and wiped the corners of her lips unhurriedly, and then said slowly: "Since my mother knows that the Qi family only dares to do this by relying on the piece of meat in her belly, why is she so angry now?" It's just a piece of meat, and if you get rid of it, it's gone, so it's not worth so much effort. ”
Shen Yu's expression was calm, which infected Zhou Yun's emotions and calmed her down, and the two mothers and daughters conspired in the house without mentioning it.
"Hongrui, according to the rules of the house, you can only be a third-class maid now, but the girl remembers your first offense, and is extraordinarily gracious, so that you can be a second-class maid.
In the Tibetan Pearl Courtyard, Shen Fu's whole person nested in the fox fur big man, the sunlight outside cast a warm color through the window flowers, Hongrui knelt in it, bowed her head, couldn't see her expression clearly, nephrite jade said Shen Fu's decision according to the book, her eyes fell on Hongrui, Hongrui's body trembled, and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest girl, Hongrui knows her mistakes, and she will definitely serve the eldest girl well in the future." ”
She was surprised and happy in her heart, although she was only a second-class maid, but the spices and clothes in the courtyard were fat poor, which was rich in oil and water, and it was good to stretch out her hand casually, she never expected that she would come back from Mama Zeng, and there would be such a good thing, Hongrui quietly raised her eyes, looked at the Songting Fang Lord standing in the shadows, and was proud in her heart: "It is said that these two little girls are short of first-class maids, but they have no real power, I think it is true, otherwise this kind of fat difference, how can it fall into my hands." ”
Shen Fu's eyes drooped, coughed a few times, and then sent nephrite jade to take Hongrui away, Boshan furnace cigarettes curled, her expression was hidden behind the smoke, it didn't look very clear, and then spoke: "Lord Fang, Songting, you keep an eye on Hongrui, if her hands and feet are not clean, then take her under the knife, if her hands and feet are clean, you must also make her unclean, you go and let the news go in private, saying that if Hongrui falls, you will be promoted from those third-class maids, little maids, or accompanying grandmothers, do you hear?" ”
Her tone is sharp, revealing the meaning of iron-blooded slaughter in the stability, people say that there is no excuse for the crime that she wants to add, she is going to kill like this now, Hongrui does not know anything, she still feels lucky, and even her heart estimates how to get oil and water, but she doesn't know this luck, for her, the same arsenic. Frost is no different.
"Sister, my girl asked me to come over and talk to the eldest girl, Aunt Qi has just arrived, and many things have not been fully arranged, and the lady wants to make clothes for Aunt Qi to make subsidies, and she is lacking Shu brocade, so she specially sent me to ask, is there any Shu brocade in the Tibetan Pearl Temple?"
At this moment, the sound of warm incense came from outside the door, and the wooden doors were replaced with thick curtains in winter, Shen Fu made a look, and motioned to Songting to call back nephrite, Songting bowed slightly, opened the curtain and went out, hugged Nephrite's arm affectionately, and directly separated Wen Xiang: "Sister Nephrite, why did it take so long for you to place Hongrui?" I think there are too many clothes and fabrics in the yard, and the girl remembers it very much, you come into the house, the girl has something to tell you. ”
Wen Xiang had asked Nephrite to bring the fabric to the main courtyard because of Shen Yu's name, so she was so close to Nephrite, and she was about to succeed, but she was caught off guard by Songting, and she stomped her feet fiercely in anger, and had to wait for Nephrite, so she could only stand at the door and look. looked at the curtain with his eyes, and Nephrite Jade also entered the house with the Song Pavilion, but was surprised by Shen Fu's words: "No matter what, it is said that there is a shortage in the courtyard, you know?" ”
Aunt Qi is now pregnant, it is Zhou Yun's thorn in the flesh, she doesn't believe that Zhou Yun has such a good heart, at this time, the main courtyard intervenes, it will only lead to a fire, but Nephrite always thinks of Wen Xiangfang's pleading expression in her mind, and her heart is becoming more and more soft, Shen Fu's eyes swept over, and her head turned back to anger: "Nephrite, you have to remember clearly, you are from the Tibetan Pearl Courtyard, the piece of meat in Aunt Qi's belly is now the treasure in the eyes of the old lady and her father, if Aunt Qi has no children, let me ask you, can you afford this responsibility!" ”
She shouted angrily, she was really disappointed, she thought that Nephrite Jade should be a little more sober after the last incident, but she didn't expect that Wen Xiang just pretended to be a few times, which made her soften her heart again, as soon as she thought of this, Shen Fu hated iron and steel, and her heart was even more ruthless, and she was determined to find a way to deal with Wen Xiang.
When the two masters and servants were in a dilemma, Lord Fang couldn't see Nephrite such a posture, so he simply opened his mouth to solve the siege, she is also a person who has a sister-in-law, so she can be more or less considerate of Nephrite's mood, I saw her step forward to speak for Nephrite: "Girl, don't be angry, Sister Nephrite is also distressed by her sister, there is nothing to blame, if the girl is worried about implicating the Tibetan Pearl Courtyard, Sister Nephrite is distressed by Wen Xiang, and the compromise method is not nothing, and now the fabrics in the courtyard are not all in charge of Hongrui?" Let's let Hongrui send it over, if something happens, it won't affect the Tibetan Pearl Courtyard at all. ”
She said this a little ruthlessly, but Shen Fu and Nephrite had no opinions, who let Hongrui do something wrong before, and now it is used to top the pot, naturally it is nothing, Shen Fu let out a long breath, and told Lord Fang to mention Hongrui, and not let Nephrite meet Wen Xiang, lest she do something wrong and make it difficult for herself.
