Chapter 32: Mingyue, do you say yes or no
Shen Mingzhen stopped Master Shen: "Don't be angry, father, the rules in the temple are indeed very strict, no wonder my younger brother."
Always sending him to the temple will only make the child's temper worse and worse. The daughter thinks that her younger brother has lived too well for so many years, and she doesn't know how hard it is to be a human being in the world. Doesn't the Shen family have two Zhuangzi? It is better to send the younger brother to the village, and let the younger brother and the tenant farmers plant trees, weeds, water and fertilize together.
The younger brother knew the hard work of farming, and knew the price of the land he had worked so hard to plant. What can be exchanged for this price, you must be able to figure out how you should do things. ”
Master Shen thought about it, agreed with Shen Mingzhen's words, returned to the mansion, and wrote a thick letter to the steward in Zhuangzi. Let the steward not have to treat Xiaobawang as a young master, just treat her as a tenant farmer, and let him know how hard it is to farm.
Let him know that if he doesn't have the ability and ability to live, the Shen family will definitely fall into the hands of this little overlord in the future, and when the time comes, he will have nothing but to farm.
These words were still said to herself by Shen Mingzhen on the way back.
She sat in the carriage, holding her younger brother in one hand, and gave Master Shen an idea: "You can rest assured that if you go to Zhuangzi for your father and younger brother, you will definitely be able to understand a lot of truths."
More useful than him reading in death. ”
Shen Mingzhen's own brother was already asleep, his little face was pouting, and Shen Mingzhen looked at his younger brother, as if he was not angry with the little bully at all.
Master Shen looked at Shen Mingzhen, who was smiling, and looked at the unhappy little overlord who was following the carriage outside, and not only sighed.
It's really more popular than people.
The child born by Mrs. Sun is better than that of Aunt Zhu.
It's a pity that Shen Mingzhen is a daughter, if she is a man, she will definitely be able to become the pillar of the Shen family.
Shen Mingyue returned to the Song family and learned that Mrs. Song had not lost her anger, so she blamed Shen Mingyue for not reporting to the Shen family, and insisted that Shen Mingyue go to her courtyard tomorrow to learn the rules.
Mrs. Song was free this time, so she no longer pushed pai gow, but picked up the bamboo sticks and stood in the courtyard to personally teach Shen Mingyue's rules.
"The first point, when you meet your mother-in-law and elders, you have to know how to be filial, your mother-in-law said that you can't go west, and you must bow down to your mother-in-law in front of your subordinates and outsiders, so that outsiders know how harmonious the relationship between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is."
"The second point is that whenever you go out, whether you want to go back to your parents' house or go shopping, you must send someone to tell me in advance. My mother-in-law disagrees, you can't go to these places. ”
"Third, my Song family is a famous family. I can ignore the things you did in the past, but since you have entered the door of my Song family, you must change your previous bad habits, and you should learn to follow the three virtues and four virtues, and take the words of your husband as the first step. ”
"Fourth, you have to hurry up and give birth to a few children for our Song family, and passing on the Song family is your first priority. Usually prepare good meat and good dishes for Song Ziyi when he is fine. As her wife, if you are not good at craft, my son is not well nourished, but it is your sin. ”
Shen Mingyue: ......
Is she married? Did you sell yourself to the Song family as a slave?
Mrs. Song saw that she was distracted, and immediately hit her with a rattan: "Did you hear what I said?" ”
"I heard it, I heard it." Shen Mingyue smiled: "Mother is so good at teaching me, have you also been taught by Mrs. Tai."
The mother can rest assured that the daughter-in-law will definitely teach herself according to her mother's behavior in the future. Suppose the mother went to Mrs. Tai's room and waited for her for two hours. The daughter-in-law must redouble her efforts, stay in her mother's room for four hours, regard herself as her mother's most intimate maid, and serve her mother wholeheartedly. ”
Mrs. Song choked.
Where did she suffer from this?
She looked at Shen Mingyue: "I called you here, not to let myself set an example for you." I'm just telling you the rules you should do as a daughter-in-law. ”
Shen Mingyue slandered Mrs. Song in her heart, and sighed on her face: "Mother, I have a stomachache, so I won't listen to it today......"
Without waiting for Mrs. Song to agree, Shen Mingyue got into the sedan chair back to her house.
After half a sound, he shouted to stop the sedan chair man again: "Don't go back to Song Mansion, turn your head and go to Shen Mansion." ”
Shen Mingzhen sewed small clothes for her sister under the lamp. A few white pearls were used as buttons on the blue jacket, and a thick layer of fox fur was sewn around the perimeter of the jacket. When the winter comes, the little one will not be cold when he wears this dress.
There were still a few stitches left, and Shen Mingzhen had less than two or three stitches, and then she saw Shen Mingyue rubbing her palms and falling on her knees: "Mingzhen, you don't know how annoying Mrs. Song is......"
Shen Mingzhen listened to Shen Mingyue tell the story before and after.
"What's so difficult about this, what Mrs. Song asks you to do, you can just go to Mrs. Song and do it directly.
Mrs. Song has not had a good relationship with Mrs. Song for so many years, but she has never enjoyed Mrs. Song's kind service. ”
"What if Mrs. Song finds out and gives me little shoes to wear in the future?"
"Then you let this matter be publicized and let everyone know how embarrassed Mrs. Song is for her daughter-in-law. People like the Song family definitely can't stand such gossip. Mrs. Song must have restrained herself from now on.
Don't worry, the maids in my shop are all smart, and most of the girls in the shop are some famous ladies, if you don't know how to publicize it, I will pass it on for you. ”
Song Mingyue nodded in thanks.
rubbed a bowl of longan and red date soup here with Shen Mingzhen, and took two packets of dried bananas, and went back with a smile.
On the second day, Shen Mingyue went straight to Mrs. Tai's courtyard: "Old lady, my mother said that as long as I go out in the future, I must report my whereabouts to my mother, and I can only go out if my mother agrees."
Mingyue wants to go to the jewelry store in the west of the capital today to pick out some jewelry for herself. Because the place is far away, I got up early in the morning, but I didn't expect my mother to get up yet. Mingyue didn't dare to disobey her mother's words, so she had to report to you. ”
Shen Mingyue pretended to be very cautious: "Mrs. Tai, I'll finish picking out the jewelry...... I also want to go to Babao Zhai in the capital to eat a bowl of my favorite potato roasted beef brisket.
Do you think it's okay? ”
What's wrong with that?
After Mrs. Shen allowed it, she heard Shen Mingyue's happy smile. As she walked, she muttered to her maid, "It's great that I can finally eat my beloved food." My mother said that the restaurant was full of men, and she never let me go, and I almost wanted to burn the brisket with potatoes. ”
Old Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Mingyue and felt that Mrs. Song was really getting more and more ridiculous.
Shen Mingyue is a living person, how can she restrict the freedom of her children like this.
She ate a piece of candy and felt that going to find Mrs. Song must be another commotion, so she held back.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, Shen Mingyue came again. She burst into tears, looking at the old lady and speaking aggrievedly: "Old lady, ancestor, save Mingyue." Mother said that it doesn't matter to you, because Mingyue was playful today, she didn't go to serve her mother for dinner and lunch, and she didn't give her mother vegetables, and her mother was angry.
The daughter-in-law was not allowed to sleep tonight, so she could only sew her mother's newly made cotton robe in the yard. Mother said that if I can't embroider the peacock on my clothes tonight, I won't give Mingyue a day tomorrow. ”
Shen Mingyue cried and showed Mrs. Song's clothes to Mrs. Song.
On the whole side of the clothes, there is a peacock pattern with three large heads.
Mrs. Song thought that this peacock was embroidered by three professional embroiderers, and it could be embroidered in one night. Mrs. Song is like this, she is obviously embarrassed. Shen Mingyue came to the Song family to be a daughter-in-law, not to be a maid for Mrs. Song.
This Mrs. Song is really getting more and more excessive.
Old Mrs. Song took Shen Mingyue's hand: "Good boy, don't be afraid, the old man will help you go to Mrs. Song to seek justice."
This woman is too much. ”
Shen Mingyue cried and said yes, and when the old lady got into the sedan chair, she didn't do it herself, standing next to the carriage and serving with other maids.
She looked at the puzzled Mrs. Song: "Mother said that I want to honor my mother more for my husband." You can't sit on an equal footing with your mother, and when your mother rides in a sedan chair, your daughter-in-law should wait by her side in case her mother has any orders.
Old lady, is it wrong for Mingyue to do this? ”
The old lady felt even more sorry for Shen Mingyue. Mrs. Song, who kills a thousand knives, what did she force her good daughter's family to become?
She led Shen Mingyue to Mrs. Song's house: "In the future, what Mingyue does to you every day, you will do to me every day." As a daughter-in-law, the pace must always be the same. There is no reason why Mingyue serves you so hard every day, you lie in the house as a mother, and don't come to serve me, an old woman. ”
Mrs. Song smiled reluctantly: "Old lady, you are too worried, I am good to Mingyue, this girl." I didn't let her serve me. Mingyue, don't you say? ”
Mrs. Song stared at Shen Mingyue.
Shen Mingyue looked at Mrs. Song, then at Mrs. Song, and after a while, she forced out a yes word from her teeth.
Inadvertently, he pulled out the iron blue on his wrist.
Mrs. Song was even more angry: "This Mrs. Song, still beating people? No wonder it scares a child like this. ”
She looked at Mrs. Song: "From tomorrow, you will come to my house to serve from the morning, and you can only go back to the house to rest after you know that you have eaten dinner for me."
From tomorrow onwards, whenever you leave the house, you must report to me, the old lady, if you do not report properly. I will let your husband marry another concubine who is as beautiful as a flower. You only have one son, Song Ziyi, and besides that, if you have no heirs, your husband must feel very lonely. ”
Mrs. Song gritted her teeth......
If Mrs. Song sent a concubine to her husband, the husband would definitely follow.
When the time comes, you will be alone.
She looked at Mrs. Song: "Mother, in fact, the daughter-in-law only let Mingyue serve her daughter-in-law for two days. The daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, you see, it's better to forget about it, right? ”
How's that going to work?
Old Mrs. Shen looked at the thin Shen Mingzhu and was worried that she would be bullied by Mrs. Song. Ordered Mama to take the Ruyi auspicious lock that the concubine gave to her and hung it on Shen Mingyue's neck: "This is what the concubine gave me." Old Shen is old and doesn't need it anymore.
Up and down the Shen family, seeing this lock is like seeing a noble concubine.
From now on, if anyone treats Mingyue badly, they will blaspheme the prestige of the concubine. ”
Old Mrs. Song turned her head and looked at Mrs. Song: "It's not that the old man is embarrassed for you. Since you entered the door of my Shen family, the old body has not enjoyed your service for a day. Mrs. Song, from tomorrow onwards, you will come to serve the old man. ”
