Chapter 59: The Zheng Sisters
Zheng Yueru looked more and more gentle in a goose yellow dress, although she was a concubine, she was no worse than Zheng Yuexin, and the treatment in Zheng Guogong's Mansion was also excellent.
"Sister, let's go over quickly, I just overheard an ear, and they went to the pond." Zheng Yuexin got permission and pulled Zheng Yueru to the pond, Zheng Yueru was full of impatience.
She couldn't figure it out, but she was just the daughter of a petty official, how could she just let them work in the Zhengguo Mansion to mobilize the public.
If it weren't for the sake of maintaining her usual good image, she would definitely not be willing to enter this Shen Mansion for half a step.
Shen Mingzhen is putting a camellia hairpin on He Shiyu's head, and the white and tender camellia looks more and more delicate from He Shiyu.
When Zheng Yueru saw this scene, her eyes flashed with disdain, but the expression on her face was silent.
Zheng Yuexin recognized Shen Mingzhen as soon as she saw her, and her brother told her before going out that the most temperamental person was Shen Mingzhen.
"Are you Shen Mingzhen?"
Shen Mingzhen looked up and saw Zheng Yuexin, and nodded suspiciously.
Zheng Yuexin thought of the main master, and grabbed Shen Mingzhen's arm with great interest, she was one year younger than Shen Mingzhen, so she called Shen Mingzhen's sister.
"Sister Mingzhen is really as beautiful as my brother said, like, like, yes, just like the camellia on this sister's head."
Shen Mingzhen looked at a pair of apricot eyes in front of her, and it was obvious that they were the words she had just made up.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"What Miss is not Miss, I am Zheng Guogong's daughter, my name is Zheng Yuexin, one year younger than you, Sister Mingzhen just calls me Yuexin."
Zheng Yuexin was a little dissatisfied when she heard Shen Mingzhen's title, and pouted to correct it.
"I have heard from my brother that Sister Mingzhen has excellent medical skills, and she was able to save her grandmother, and she is the benefactor of our Zhengguo Mansion.
As the young lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, I must not put on a show, I must be commensurate with Mingzhen's sisters and sisters. ”
"You just listen to your brother?" Shen Mingzhen was a little surprised that this Miss Zheng family listened to Zheng Fei's words like this.
"That's natural, I was brought up by my brother. My brother also said that if you can learn a little from Sister Mingzhen, then it will definitely be beneficial in the future. ”
If Zheng Yuexin has a tail behind her, I'm afraid she will be warped to the sky now.
"Xin'er, don't disturb Miss Shen." Zheng Yueru said softly, like looking at an ignorant child.
"You don't care what I do, even if you come out to play, why pretend, my mother is used to you, I won't be used to you." Zheng Yuexin wrinkled her nose, she had always disliked Zheng Yueru.
Zheng Yueru's expression froze and she didn't get angry, but she said to Shen Mingyu with some apologies: "This is the eldest lady of the Shen family, if she is really extraordinary, my little sister has been spoiled by the family, but it disturbs your nature."
"Where will it be, this sister is the concubine of Zheng Guogong's mansion, she is really extraordinary, and she has the demeanor of everyone." Shen Mingyu was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything wrong.
The daughter of the Shen Mansion has always needed to read and practice calligraphy like a man, and if she is careful, she will naturally not be caught.
It's just that the expression on Zheng Yueru's face is shattered, the daughter of Zheng Guogong's mansion!
She wished she were.
"Poof, this sister, you misunderstood, she was not born to my mother, but the daughter of the concubine under her hand."
Zheng Yuexin covered her mouth and smiled, if it was someone else, she might help Zheng Yueru go back, but now that she is in the Shen Mansion, she sees that the girls in the Shen Mansion are pleasing to the eye one after another.
"That's right, Yueru is just a concubine, and she deserves to be extraordinary." Zheng Yueru smiled reluctantly, lowering her head and looking pitiful.
In an instant, the goose-yellow dress seemed to be a little dim, Zheng Yueru was naturally a beauty embryo, if there was a man, I was afraid that he would have already begun to accuse the Shen family, but unfortunately all the women present.
"It's okay, Miss Zheng's bearing is indeed extraordinary." Shen Mingzhen saw that no one paid attention to Zheng Yueru, but she kindly helped her out of the siege.
And Shen Mingyu stopped talking when she heard that Zheng Yueru was just a concubine, I have always paid attention to the distinction between concubines and concubines, even if she is a concubine from a wealthy family, in her eyes, she is not as good as her concubine.
This is the reason why Shen Fu taught them since they were young that they would rather be the wives of a poor family than concubines of a high family.
Shen Mingyu took the He family sisters and walked towards the chessboard, don't look at her being a little favored and a little domineering, but after all, she is the daughter of the big house, and she loves chess.
Zheng Yueru saw that none of the people in front of her took care of her, and even the concubine of the He family was held in her arms by her annoying sister, and couldn't help but bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
It's just the daughter of a small family, and when she goes back, her mother will record her in her name, and she will also be a daughter.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yueru was not talking to them, and sat alone in the gazebo on the edge of the pond.
The pond of the Shen family is very large, and there are four pavilions around it, and the pavilions are carved with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, which are quite elegant.
"Sister, aren't we so kind to the young lady of the Zheng family?" Shen Minglan said resignedly.
"What's wrong with this, who is your bun personality like?
Don't say she's a concubine, I can't get used to what she said to Miss Zheng San just now. ”
Shen Mingyu pursed her lips, as a concubine, she pointed fingers at her sister-in-law, and she didn't know where she got such a big face.
"I just looked at it and felt that it was inappropriate, then the third lady of the Zheng family was obviously quite dissatisfied with that girl, but I don't know how we would come together this time."
He Junyao was also a little puzzled, she couldn't touch it at the banquet in the past, and this first contact was a little strange.
"Sister Mingzhen, can you see my eldest sister?" Zheng Yuexin pursed her lips, thinking that Shen Mingzhen also had a sister like her.
"I saw it." Shen Mingzhen naturally saw it, but it was just a matter in the mansion of Zheng Guogong's mansion, but she didn't dare to be interested.
However, Zheng Yuexin in front of her was unexpectedly to her liking, and she was curious to see her from the beginning, but now she has not continued to test her purpose.
"My sister-in-law was raised by my mother's side when she was a child, and I was two months apart from her, and I heard my brother say that I grew up on the same kang with her when I was a child."
Zheng Yuexin frowned when she thought of those things, and her face was full of melancholy.
"I also can't understand that I am my mother's biological daughter, my father, my grandmother, and my brother all spoil me and are used to me, but my mother took care of Zheng Yueru when I and Zheng Yueru had a fever at the same time."
"Maybe your mother has her own reasons." Shen Mingzhen thought about it, and naturally didn't know what to say.
"What can be the reason, but I'm afraid that she will feel unbalanced."
Zheng Yuexin's emotions came and went quickly, and she soon took He Shiyu to flutter butterflies, but she didn't expect the two of them to play together.
Now the reputation of the Shen Mansion has improved a lot, and there are more guests who come, Mrs. Sun almost can't greet her, as for the third wife, she has always been out with the third master to deliver goods, and even the sister-in-law of the third room is taken care of by the eldest wife.
Zheng Yueru Xu felt that she was a little bored staying and returned to Duchess Zheng Guo.
"Mother." Zheng Yueru smiled lightly and walked towards Duchess Zheng Guo.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Duchess Zheng Guo took Zheng Yueru's hand and asked her to sit beside her.
"My sister and Miss Shen are having fun, I have always liked to be quiet, the sun is too strong outside, so I will come back first."
Zheng Yueru peeled a grape for Duchess Zheng Guo, and she naturally knew that only by winning the favor of Duchess Zheng Guo could she live happily in Zheng Guogong's mansion.
"You kid looks like me." Duchess Zheng Guo felt happy when she saw Zheng Yueru like this.
Zheng Yueru lowered her head and smiled.
Isn't it very similar, she is also a concubine, but Duchess Zheng Guo has been wronged in her mother's family, so she often treats her well.
"Sister, what does this Shen Mansion's birthday banquet have to do with us, why do we have to come here to congratulate the old woman on her birthday."
Meng Huaixiang's face was full of dissatisfaction, she was naturally reluctant to come, if it weren't for her mother's insistence that their sisters would come, they would naturally not be willing to step into this Shen Mansion.
"Xiang'er, don't mess around, now my father is being squeezed by the Wu'an Hou Mansion every day in the court, and now only the Shen Mansion, as an in-law, can speak for us."
Meng Huaihan naturally didn't want to come, but he still came when he thought of Meng Shilang's frowning brows all day.
"What are you two muttering there? Later, I'll take you to meet Mrs. Shen, remember to behave better. ”
Mrs. Meng frowned and looked at the sisters with displeasure, if it weren't for the two of them getting into trouble, the old man wouldn't be tired of her being in the little goblin room all day.
The Meng sisters closed their mouths, and after that day, their mothers treated them with noses and eyes, and if they weren't their own children, they would have ended up like those concubines.
"There are a lot of people coming to this birthday banquet, and I'm almost too busy." The eldest lady laughed so hard that her feet were stiff, and finally welcomed the guests in.
"Now that the reputation of the mansion has also improved, plus I have made friends with the Zheng Guogong Mansion, naturally many people have come." Mrs. Sun smiled, she had never liked to take care of things, and this time she was also tired and panicked.
"Isn't it? Even the Meng family came, and I don't know where they came from. The eldest lady felt disdainful when she thought of Shen Mingyu's retelling to her.
"That's it, but a few more pairs of chopsticks, as long as they don't disturb my mother." Mrs. Sun frowned, obviously a little displeased.
The eldest lady pursed her lips, saying that she could be light, and she knew that the mother and daughter were not good goods, and she was afraid that she was not going to come to the old lady to intercede.
I have to say that the eldest lady's intuition in this regard has always been accurate.
"Auntie, mother, is the troupe coming?" Shen Mingzhen walked over and said with a smile on her face.
Fang just talked to Miss Na He about the stage, and I heard that there have been a few more scenes recently, which are particularly good, and Shen Mingzhen is also interested.
Zheng Yuexin naturally followed Shen Mingzhen.
"Naturally, I'm here, I'm setting up a platform in the back garden, why don't you take Miss Zheng to play and come to me to join in the fun." Mrs. Sun saw that the two of them had played after a while, covered her mouth and smiled.
"That is, the little girl's family goes to play in the garden, so as not to get in the way." The eldest lady also laughed and scolded Shen Mingzhen.
"Aunt, aunt, don't call me Yuexin in such a province." Zheng Yuexin likes to be close to Shen Mingzhen, so naturally even the people with the Shen family value it a little.
"Eh, okay, you two little girls, go play. Later, when the stage is ready, I will go over and spend time with your grandmother. The smile on Mrs. Sun's face became more and more sincere.
Shen Mingzhen is sensible when she is a child, and the girls in the generous three rooms have their own close friends, and even Shen Mingzhu has a few handkerchiefs for little sisters, but Shen Mingzhen has always been alone, and now she finally has a good play, and Mrs. Sun is naturally happy.
The two little girls walked away, it was Zheng Yuexin who pulled Shen Mingzhen away, and Shen Mingzhen was pulled and almost couldn't catch up, but she wanted to laugh.
"Now that Mingzhen is getting better and better, if the waiter doesn't want to be so ridiculous, your life will be better." The eldest lady sighed.
When he mentioned Mr. Shen and Mrs. Sun, he was a little bored, although he has settled down a lot now, but he is afraid that he will be in peace for these two days, and after two days, he will start to make old problems again.
"He is naturally very affectionate towards that aunt, and if I stop him, I will end up with a reputation as a jealous woman. Fortunately, he went, and I had a son and a daughter, so I just greeted the child. ”
Mrs. Sun has also had enough trouble with Master Shen, and Master Shen's temperament has never been settled, and she is used to it.
"You've suffered." The eldest lady thought about it, but she also felt that Mrs. Sun was pitiful.
"Let's go to my mother, although my mother is in good health now, she can't be careless."
Mrs. Sun pulled the eldest lady and wanted to turn around, but suddenly there was an exclamation from behind.
"Second wife, Young Master Mingze is back." The little servant hurriedly led the horse that Shen Mingze was riding to the stable.
The thirteen-year-old boy Lang was dressed in a gray-blue robe, with a mutton fat jade pendant tied around his waist, with a smile on his delicate face, gentle and polite, completely different from Shen Minghan's overlord temperament.
"Mother, the child is coming back late." He knelt down on one knee and saluted Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun helped him up, and said again and again that it would be good to come back.
If Shen Minghan is the little overlord of the Shen family who was spoiled by Aunt Zhu, then this Shen Mingze is a pitiful little who was ignored by Aunt Zhu.
If Mrs. Sun hadn't met him, I'm afraid she would have been sick or stupid.
"Why did Ming Ze come back at this time, but what's the matter?" The eldest lady asked suspiciously.
Shen Mingze is now studying at Qingsong Academy on the outskirts of Beijing, and it is great to be able to come back three or five times a year.
"I heard about the family at the academy, and I was relieved to take half a month's vacation." Shen Mingze frowned when he thought of the rumored words.
"It's just some rumors, why did you go on a special trip and delay your studies." Mrs. Sun glared at Shen Mingze, but she didn't mean much blame.
"Mothers should not worry, because the child has already learned those things, and besides, he can consult with his father at home." Shen Mingze touched his head and laughed out two little tiger teeth.
"Today is your grandmother's birthday feast, so when you come back, go and celebrate your grandmother's birthday." Mrs. Sun looked at the child in front of her who was grown up under her care, and she loved him and urged him.
