When he came to Mrs. Song's courtyard, the old man had been waiting there early, and stood up as soon as he saw Shen Mingzhen.

"You're here. Could it be that your Aunt Song did something wrong, and even my old woman disappeared? Old Lady Song looked at Shen Mingzhen with some reproach.

"What is this, but because there are a lot of things at home today, I have not been free, but I have prepared the old lady's birthday gift early." Saying that, Shen Mingzhen took the box in Ziyu's hand.

"Okay, I'm going to see what birthday gift you girl has prepared for me, if I'm not satisfied, I'll punish you severely." When Mrs. Song saw that Shen Mingzhen had no other sisters of the Shen family in her eyes, she gave Shen Minglan some respite.

How could a person like Mama Gui not see that this young lady from the third room of the Shen family was unwell, so she took them and sat on the chair.

Tea was served, and when Shen Minglan saw the sugar water floating with red dates, she looked at Mama Gui even more gratefully.

But unlike Mingzhu Minglan's relaxation, Shen Mingyu obviously didn't like to be ignored, and even the expression on his face was a little unhappy.

"What is this, it smells of medicinal herbs." Mrs. Song looked left and right, but she couldn't tell what this round gadget was.

"This is a fragrant pill specially made by Mingzhen for you, I heard from Mama Gui a few days ago that you always can't sleep well at night.

I used medicinal herbs and some sleep-aiding flowers to make these incense pills for you, and you can sleep peacefully before going to bed at night, and keep the old lady dreaming well every night. ”

Shen Mingzhen said the usage of the incense pill.

"You girl has a heart." Many of the birthday gifts that Mrs. Song received were nothing more than Buddhist scriptures, jewelry, etc., but no one gave her a good night's sleep like Shen Mingzhen.

Old Mrs. Song pulled Shen Mingzhen to chat a few words, chatted with Shen Mingyu and the three of them for a while, rewarded some jewelry, and asked them to go to find Shen Mingzhu.

"You're here to get face, and you're still happy to put our sisters aside and get out of the limelight?" Shen Mingyu opened his mouth and stabbed.

"Big sister, what are these words, did you pay attention to Minglan when she was unwell?"

Shen Mingzhen was stabbed for no reason, but she was unwilling to endure it, originally thinking that Shen Mingyu was already seventeen years old and could take care of Mingzhu Minglan somewhat, but she didn't expect that when she entered this Hou Mansion, she would pinch everywhere.

"What does it matter to me if she is unwell, if it weren't for her shallow-eyed mother, she would have delayed me like this."

It's okay not to mention this, but when she mentioned this, Shen Mingyu glared at Shen Minglan, her sister hasn't married yet, and now these people hate to marry.

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that his face turned red, and he wanted to step forward to reason with Shen Mingyu, but was stopped by Shen Minglan.

"Sister, this is the Hou Mansion, don't make trouble." Shen Minglan whispered, although her face was coated with grease powder, it couldn't hide her somewhat pale face.

"Then she can't bully you." Shen Mingzhu looked unwilling.

Shen Mingzhen thought about it, if there was a quarrel in this Hou Mansion, it would inevitably make people see the jokes, so he said: "I'm going to the Pearl Courtyard, if you want to go, you can go together, if you don't want to, go to the flower hall with the maid and wait for the birthday banquet."

Shen Mingyu will not follow Shen Mingzhen together, but it is not worth her to see it if she marries a concubine and marries the Hou Mansion, it is better to go to the flower hall, in case she has a chance encounter with General Song Xiao on the road, it would be better.

"Mingzhu, you go with me, and find a place for Minglan to rest." Seeing that Shen Mingyu was gone, Shen Mingzhen didn't force it, so she took Shen Mingzhu and the sisters to Shen Mingzhu.

"Second sister, what if something happens to the eldest sister?" Shen Minglan was a little worried, according to the pampered nature of the eldest sister, it would not be good if she caused any trouble.

"You're a bad person, she's a few years older than us, doesn't she know what to do and what not to do?" Shen Mingzhu couldn't see Shen Minglan's submissive appearance, and scolded in a low voice.

"Mingzhu is right, she is older, how old is we, and my aunt will teach her how to behave." Shen Mingzhen thought about it, what Shen Mingzhu said was not unreasonable, Shen Mingyu is now seventeen, and he also wants to see if there is a suitable person at this birthday banquet.

"Mingzhen, you're here." Shen Mingzhu is probably the reason why she is pregnant, and her whole temperament is becoming more and more gentle, "Mingzhu, Minglan is also here." ”

"Sister Zhu is good." The concubines of the Shen family are not counted in the genealogical ranking, but set up a separate booklet, and the serious daughters of the Shen family are only Shen Mingyu, Shen Mingzhen, Shen Mingzhu, Shen Minglan, and Shen Mingning, who has just been a few months old.

Shen Mingzhen looked at Shen Mingzhu's complexion, and she was also much relieved.

Shen Minglan had already been arranged to rest in the side hall, while Shen Mingzhu followed to take care of her.

"Your medical skills are getting more and more sophisticated, I just passed on the imperial doctor yesterday, and it's been more than two months now." Shen Mingzhu pulled Shen Mingzhen and said happily, now the mustard in the past has dissipated.

"That's good, now that there are a lot of things at home, I rarely come over to take care of you, and now Mrs. Song is okay with you?" Shen Mingzhen couldn't help but be a little worried when she thought of the somewhat difficult Mrs. Song.

Shen Mingzhu pulled Shen Mingzhen to sit on the soft couch and talked to her.

"She is now thinking about filling Ziyi's concubine room, and I can't stop it, so I found the old lady and told her that you can see that I may be pregnant. The old lady did not let Mrs. Song take care of the affairs in my and Ziyi's room anymore.

I have opened my face to Cuiliu now and asked her to serve Song Ziyi, what you said is really good, although Song Ziyi wanted to accept it, but he was afraid that it would stimulate me, so he pushed it, and now he will not go to the girl in the connecting room. ”

"It's good that you're having a good time." Shen Mingzhen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the child in Shen Mingzhu's belly was born, she could be regarded as having a firm foothold.

"What's going on at home?" Shen Mingzhu asked.

"What can I do, everything is fine at home." Shen Mingzhen said as naturally as possible.

"Bah, you really don't know it, my grandmother is sick now, I don't dare to see it because I'm afraid of being sick, and now you are in front of me and you still want to hide it from me?" Shen Mingzhu snorted, a little angry, could it be that she didn't regard her as the daughter of the Shen family since she got married.

"Who is so declaring God that everything comes to you?" Shen Mingzhen didn't expect that she already knew, "It was a bit serious at first, but now you can move around without a big problem, but grandmother misses you a lot." ”

Shen Mingzhu's eyes were red: "I also miss my grandmother, but now I can't go back for the time being, although I have Mrs. Song to protect me, I can't help my mother-in-law always wants to find my mistakes."

"You have your problems, grandmother knows it. It's just that you've been in touch with your aunt now. Shen Mingzhen thought of Master Shen, and thought that Aunt Zhu would contact Shen Mingzhu no matter what.

"Yes, she used to send me messages a lot, but what happened?" When Shen Mingzhu saw Shen Mingzhen's expression, she sensed that something was going on on Aunt Xu's side.

Shen Mingzhen sighed: "It's nothing, it's just that now my father will go to Zhuangzi every day to visit Aunt Zhu, and Xiu Mu has stayed there for two days these days."

"What?" Shen Mingzhu's mouth opened wide in surprise, "How can my father be so confused, now that the rumors in Kyoto have not stopped, he is doing this again, isn't he really afraid of registering with the official family?" ”

Now that Shen Mingzhu has grown a lot, it's not that she doesn't feel sorry for Aunt Zhu, but she also knows that the time is not right now, if Master Shen and Aunt Zhu do this like this, I'm afraid they will cause trouble.

"It seems that Aunt Zhu didn't tell you about this." Shen Mingzhen frowned, what did this Aunt Zhu want to do, even Shen Mingzhu didn't know.

Shen Mingzhu is also a little anxious now: "Look at what to do now, my father has been punished, and I am afraid that the next time I will be dismissed."

"Don't be excited, now that you are a double person, there is still me in the affairs of the family." Shen Mingzhen couldn't help but regret a little, what if Shen Mingzhu had a tire gas because of this problem.

"Okay, I'm not excited, I'll fix a letter now to tell my aunt about the awesome relationship of this matter." Shen Mingzhu eased her emotions.

Shen Mingzhen nodded, I hope Aunt Zhu can listen to it, if there is something in the whole way, then she will definitely not let her go.

"What do you say? If you have the ability, why don't you say it to your face, what kind of ability is it to chew the root of your tongue behind your back. Shen Mingyu took the maid bell and scolded angrily at a woman who was wearing a pink dress like her.

The woman in pink is Meng Huaixiang, the daughter of Shen Shilang's opponent's family, and naturally she is not afraid of Shen Mingyu, so she turned her head and said sarcastically: "It's just the daughter of the Shen family's big house, what qualifications does an old aunt who is seventeen years old have to say here."

If Shen Mingzhen still has some qualifications to talk to me here, what are you? ”

"Then you go to Shen Mingzhen and talk about what kind of tutor others have behind your back." Shen Mingyu is also the eldest daughter who was spoiled by the Shen family, and the old lady and the eldest lady told her that it doesn't matter if the sisters are awkward at home, but the people of the Shen family outside must work together to protect the reputation of the Shen family.

So even she doesn't like the group of people in the second room, but she can't watch these people slander the reputation of the second room.

"Who in Kyoto doesn't say behind your back that your Shen family's family style is not right, first a concubine who is married to him, and then Shen Shilang who was fined for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, now it seems that this Shen family is really rotten to the roots, otherwise why can't even the eldest daughter be married."

Meng Huaixiang said disdainfully, it was just a big house of the Shen family that was sheltered in Shen Shilang's mansion, even if it was the daughter of Shen Shilang's relatives, she dared to scold a few words, who doesn't have a squire father?

"You..." If it weren't for the upbringing, Shen Mingyu would have wanted to step forward and tear Meng Huaixiang's mouth apart.

"It seems that Miss Meng is a little angry today." Shen Mingzhu saw this situation when he came with Shen Mingzhen and a few others, and said with a smile, but the deterrent power in his eyes already had a bit of the demeanor of a lady in charge.

"Hmph, why did you just come here now?" Shen Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Mingzhen, she naturally didn't know how to deal with these things as Shen Mingzhen.

"Big sister, don't worry about that villain, after all, there is a drop in value, right?" Shen Mingzhen didn't care about Shen Mingyu and snorted coldly, holding her hand and comforting her carefully.

"What I said is not false, is it possible to be honest and wrong?" Meng Huaixiang couldn't help but feel a little short of breath when she saw Shen Mingzhu speak, although she looked down on her, although she looked down on her, but who in this Kyoto didn't envy Shen Mingzhu's luck, naturally including her, after all, it was him.

"Why didn't I know that there was an extra person surnamed Meng in the Shen Mansion? Could it be that I have added someone to my family during this time of marriage? Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Mingzhen as if surprised.

"You... What nonsense are you talking about! Meng Huaixiang was so angry that she trembled at Shen Mingzhu's words, who would go to the broken house in Shen Mansion to be a concubine, Shen Mingzhu was insulting her.

"This, I'm not talking nonsense, this Miss Meng is not from our Shen Mansion, so how do you know everything about the affairs of our Shen Mansion?"

Shen Mingyu thought seriously and continued, "Could it be that someone from our Shen Mansion has taken a fancy to?" But it shouldn't be. ”

While saying that, Shen Mingyu shook his head seriously, as if he was a little unexpected.

And Shen Mingyu, who was standing behind her, was obviously stunned, Shen Mingzhu in her image was a small family and a shallow-eyed concubine, how could she become so sharp-tongued and unmistakable.

Now the birthday banquet has not yet begun, and there are only a dozen or so official ladies who came early, and now they are also whispering, and from time to time they let out a few low laughs.

Meng Huaixiang looked at Shen Mingzhu's dignified and virtuous face, and became more and more angry: "You are just a concubine, you really think that you can't fly on a branch and become a phoenix, you are just a slut who relies on foxes like your aunt."

Shen Mingzhen's face sank when she heard this, and she stood in front of Shen Mingzhu: "Miss Meng, do you know that this is the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, and she is the young lady of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion."

"What young lady is just a rag who is married to him, I really think that Young Master Shen is so happy with you, it's just a novelty."

Meng Huaixiang originally liked Song Ziyi, but she didn't dare to express it because of her identity, but now she is married to Song Ziyi is a woman who is not as good as her, which makes her endure it.

Not to mention that Shen Mingzhu's status in this Hou Mansion is becoming more and more stable now, which makes her not jealous, her mother once probed, but she didn't even want to be a concubine of the Song family, why can't she Shen Mingzhu be a rag.

Shen Mingzhen saw that there was something wrong with Meng Huaixiang, and she didn't dare to say that it was too exciting for her, after all, Shen Mingzhu was pregnant now, and no one could afford to be impacted, so she just said calmly: "Everyone has his own life, what does Young Master Song think, it's not your turn to tell Sister Shu."

"Let's go sit down first." Shen Mingzhen helped Shen Mingzhu to protect her by her side, and even Shen Mingyu saw that something was wrong, she had seen a subordinate beat another subordinate out of jealousy, and that look was like this.

The sisters formed a semicircle and walked in, while Meng Huaixiang was still standing in place, but the fierce light flashing in her eyes made her look more and more terrifying.

"I was scared to death just now, and Meng Huaixiang's eyes looked like they were going to eat me." Shen Mingzhu patted her chest with some surprise, if it weren't for Shen Mingzhen standing in front of her, then Meng Huaixiang only needed to push lightly, then...

Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu covered her stomach, and felt more and more that she should stay away from the woman.

And Shen Mingzhen, she remembered that in her previous life, there was also Meng Huaixiang in the Song Mansion, and she was Song Ziyi's concubine, and the child in her belly was afraid that there was also this Meng Huaixiang's handwriting in it.

Thinking of the woman who had harmed Song Ziyi's several concubines in her previous life, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and it seemed that she was going to find an opportunity to remind Shen Mingzhu.
