Chapter 41: Sent to Zhuangzi
Different from the warmth in the small courtyard, the air in the hall seemed to be frozen, Master Shen, the old lady, the eldest lady, Mrs. Sun, and Aunt Zhu kneeling in the middle.
The eldest lady pulled Mrs. Sun to the side and spoke.
"I didn't know that you were stupid, you used to think about love and love in your mind, and you just gave in again and again.
Now that it's okay, it's time to make way for those little hooves, why don't you want to think about Mingzhen and your infant child? ”
Mrs. Sun wiped her eyes: "How can I not know, sister-in-law is not unaware, I am not liked by my husband and mother-in-law, and I can't even get a good face with my child."
Now that it has spread out, what face do I have to go out to meet people, it is better to get acquainted, invite myself and leave, and pay my hair to be a sister-in-law. ”
The eldest lady glared at Mrs. Sun with some hatred.
"You're giving up on yourself like this? Have you ever thought about Zhen'er and Little Five and Little Six?
Zhen'er has not yet decided on a marriage, if it is rumored that there is a mother who is a sister-in-law, and a stepmother who is a concubine, how can you let her gain a foothold in her husband's family, is it possible that the daughter of our Shen family will marry low?
Besides, the little five and six haven't grown up yet, and they can't leave their mother? If your upbringing is crooked, I'll see what you should do. ”
Mrs. Sun is afraid for a while when she thinks about it now, if she really takes and leaves the book, the consequences will be a little unbearable.
"Okay, what are you muttering over there?" The old lady glanced at the eldest lady, and now the big room of the second room has also come to participate.
The eldest lady helped her body.
"Mother doesn't know how the outside spreads our Shen family, and she can't write a single word Shen, although the big house shouldn't be in charge of the second room, but our Shen Mansion has always been the same.
I don't want to see the concubine treat the lady of the main house like this, if the little hooves in the big room do the same, then I won't have to worry. ”
After saying that, he glanced at Aunt Zhu, his face full of disdain.
"What the sister-in-law said is inappropriate, it's just that Mrs. Zhu is gossiping." Old Man Shen frowned, a little displeased.
The eldest lady just can't see the atmosphere of the second room.
"This gossip is windless and waves, and if it weren't for what this little hoof said outside, how could such gossip come out?
The squire has to take care of the atmosphere in this house, the young girls are all depressed and sick, if it is not for many years, how can it be so serious. ”
Master Shen was blocked by the eldest lady's words to argue for Aunt Zhu.
"What the eldest lady said is very true, but my mother is now old, and I hope that the lord will spare her once in my many years of service."
Aunt Zhu kowtowed and made a big salute, she knew how she could make Master Shen soft in the greatest possible way, as long as he softened his heart, then this matter could pass.
The problem of the big house is not to be feared.
"It's just a concubine, serving the lord is what you should do, how can you say that it has become your dedication here." The eldest lady saw through Aunt Zhu's plan at a glance.
"I remember that last time your mother was still thinking about murdering my second brother and sister, and your son still wanted to throw his own brother into the pond, if he continued to connive, this Shen Mansion would simply change his surname to Zhu."
Even the old lady squinted her eyes, this Aunt Zhu is indeed too unreliable.
Aunt Zhu didn't know if she was powerless to argue or just kowtowed vigorously, and the sound of her forehead coughing on the floor echoed in the hall of Nuoda.
Because it was ugly, there were no outsiders here, and Master Shen only felt that the muffled humming sound was like a hammer constantly smashing in his heart.
"Enough, what do you have to say, who are you persecuting with such behavior?"
In the end, it was Mrs. Sun who stopped Aunt Zhu's masochistic behavior.
Master Shen glanced at Mrs. Sun with emotion, and sure enough, his wife was the most understanding.
"As far as you are kind, she may not have been so kind to you at the beginning." The eldest lady glared at Mrs. Sun, and sure enough, the second room was still too weak to be ridden on the head by those concubines, this was just a few kowtows, so she was let go so easily.
"I didn't come here this time to take care of your affairs, but to see that Mingzhen was pitiful, she overthought it at a young age, and now you are discussing these again, so it's better to let Mingzhen come to my side to recuperate first.
You also know that Mingzhen also grew up with me, and now you haven't thought about what to do in the future, so it's better to hand over Mingzhen to me to take care of it first, but it will save him from worrying about these things for you. ”
"This .....," Mrs. Sun was a little embarrassed.
"You still don't worry about me." The eldest lady glanced at Mrs. Sun a little angrily, she also really felt sorry for Mingzhen's girl, and the second was appreciation, if the girls in her room could learn a few points from Mingzhen, she would be satisfied.
"Your people are not suitable for Mingzhen to recuperate, my pure, I will take Mingzhen's girl and my mother is raising it.
I can't help it, and I don't want to care about the things between you, so I'll take care of Mingzhen. ”
The old lady thought for a moment and said.
It was impossible for the eldest lady to rob the old lady, so she had to say, "I'm afraid that I will be tired of my mother."
Mrs. Sun nodded in agreement.
"It's just a girl's film, what can be tiring, Mingzhen is also a sensible child."
The old lady waved her hand and walked out, followed by the eldest lady.
"Ahem, ah, Yao, look at this..."Master Shen looked at Mrs. Sun cautiously.
Mrs. Sun's heart trembled, she hadn't heard this title for many years, but now she heard it for this reason.
"I mean, why don't you give her a chance. After all, he also gave birth to children for me, and this incident may not be her fault. "Master Shen is a little weak-hearted.
Mrs. Sun glanced at Aunt Zhu, who had a bruised forehead.
"Send her to Zhuangzi."
"What?"
Master Shen looked at Mrs. Sun in shock.
"This is already my biggest concession, I didn't fight or fight before, not because I won't, but because I feel like you're going to protect me.
Now that I have seen it through, as long as Zhu Qiaoyun is on this day, I am afraid that you will not be able to fit anyone else in your heart. ”
Mrs. Sun sighed.
"I won't take her life, let alone embarrass her children, but now that the rumors have spread all over the city, I also have to think about my Zhen'er and Bao'er.
No one wants a wife with an innocent background, whose daughter has already affected our reputation and can no longer be influenced by her. ”
"But this..."Master Shen looked at Aunt Zhu's stunned appearance, and felt a little distressed.
"No, I don't have to think about myself, but my sister-in-law is right, I have to think about my children.
Their future, marriage, have to be worried, I can't help them, but I can't hold them back. ”
"Don't, master, Qiaoyun doesn't want to go to Zhuangzi." Aunt Zhu has already reacted, no, she can't go to Zhuangzi, she must stay in the mansion, otherwise there will be a place for her two sons in the mansion.
Master Shen looked at Aunt Zhu with pear blossoms and rain, and on the other hand, Mrs. Sun with a firm expression, didn't know what to choose.
"Since you don't choose to come, then the master will think about it for one night." Mrs. Sun turned around and left, no matter whether Master Shen agreed or not, as long as she was in this mansion, she couldn't leave Aunt Zhu's place.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Sun took the two children and walked towards Shen Mingzhen's courtyard.
"I couldn't go to live in the old lady's courtyard by any means, but now you can live in it." Shen Mingzhu's slightly jealous voice came from the courtyard.
Mrs. Sun stopped, a little strange how Shen Mingzhu could be in Mingzhen's courtyard at this time.
"I didn't think that what Miss Shen, who liked the old lady so much, didn't do was actually done by me." Shen Mingzhen's voice couldn't hide the pleasure, and Mrs. Sun was even more stunned when she heard it.
Zhen'er and Shen Mingzhu are now relieved of their previous suspicions, but she wants to send Aunt Zhu to Zhuangzi, is this right or wrong, Bao'er in her arms seems to feel her mother's uneasiness, and stretches out her fleshy little hand to cover her mother's cheek.
It's not wrong for her, for the sake of Bao'er and An'er, he also has to do this, and Aunt Zhu can't stay.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun walked in with a smile on her face.
"Mingzhu is back, come and see your brother and sister."
Shen Mingzhu helped her body and called her mother, Bao'er seemed to feel her sister, and waved her hand towards Shen Mingzhen.
Shen Mingzhen caught Bao'er's already heavy body, and said with a smile: "You don't know that your sister who feels sorry for you knows how to pounce on me."
"You're poor, Xiaoliu likes you." Shen Mingzhu took the glaring An'er from the maid's hand, "Do we miss our sister?" ”
Probably because Shen Mingzhu felt safe to An'er, An'er babbled and smiled at Shen Mingzhu.
"Okay, don't call Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu anymore, the master has already named them, Xiao Wu is called An'er, and Xiao Liu is called Bao'er." Mrs. Sun could also see that their brothers were in harmony and said with a smile.
"An'er is better, this Bao'er, is her name Shen Mingbao?" Shen Mingzhen frowned, this is a little strange.
"This is a nickname, the name of the sixth child is Ming Ning, and your father and I hope that they will be peaceful and healthy in this life." Mrs. Sun touched Bao'er's soft broken hair and said softly.
"Mother, I also went to see my aunt, this time, I apologize to you on behalf of my grandmother, but this matter really has nothing to do with my mother." Shen Mingzhu bit her lip and still said the words, the housemother has always been gentle, but this time it involves too much, and she is afraid that touching her mother's bottom line will cause bad consequences to her aunt.
Mrs. Sun's face froze for a moment, and she tried her best to say in a soft tone: "Go, I think your aunt is still in your father's courtyard now."
Shen Mingzhu was stunned, returned An'er to Mrs. Sun and left
"Mother, what's wrong?" Shen Mingzhen could see that Mrs. Sun wanted to speak and stopped.
"Mother wants to send Aunt Zhu to Zhuangzi." Mrs. Sun looked at Shen Mingzhen.
"Are you worried about what I'm thinking?" Shen Mingzhen smiled, "Aunt Zhu is just an aunt to me, just let my mother be happy." ”
Mrs. Sun shook her head.
"Now that your relationship with Mingzhu has eased, my mother is worried that this incident will disturb your sister's feelings."
"No, she also knows in her heart that after this incident, Shen Fu can't tolerate her aunt, otherwise she won't come back." Shen Mingzhen opened her mouth and said, this time even the official family was alarmed, Aunt Zhu had to die except to go to Zhuangzi, I only hoped that my father could see clearly.
"My Zhen'er is indeed the smartest." Mrs. Sun touched Shen Mingzhen's hair and said with a smile, "When you go to your grandmother's room, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, although she doesn't like you, but she has a lot of friendship with you." ”
"My daughter understands." Shen Mingzhen nodded.
"Father, aunt." When Shen Mingzhu came, Aunt Zhu had already dealt with the bruises on her forehead, and when she saw Shen Mingzhu coming, she wiped her tears and cried into Shen Mingzhu's arms.
"Zhu'er, my aunt is bitter."
"Auntie, don't be like this, my father is also forced to do so." Shen Mingzhu hugged Aunt Zhu, and her eyes were a little wet.
"What is the last resort, just to drive me away, obviously it's not my fault, why do you want me to leave." Aunt Zhu cried hysterically.
Shen Mingzhu opened her mouth and didn't say anything after all, even if we all knew that my aunt hadn't said it, but what could it be?
Give a dog a bad name and hang him.
What's more, the father is a man in officialdom.
Fame, fame.
Fame before fortune.
No one can afford stigma in this era.
Not to mention the stigma of being ranked in the emperor's house.
If you want to blame, you can only blame it, why are you young and ignorant to speak wildly, now it's just the East Window Incident, even if they don't have this idea now, but gossip will bow their heads according to them.
"Mingzhu, it's good that you're back, you're sensible now, so persuade your aunt well. Tomorrow, I will send her to Zhuangzi. Master Shen couldn't bear it, but he still said it.
Shen Mingzhu nodded, but she didn't stop Aunt Zhu.
Aunt Zhu hugged Master Shen's leg and cried silently.
"Hui Lang, are you really going to send me away?"
"Those words are not what I said to my mother, I will not covet the position of the main mother, I just want to stay with you."
"Huilang, don't drive me away, I can't live without you."
Master Shen listened to Aunt Zhu's call, after all, she was a woman who had been with her for many years, if it wasn't for the helplessness, how could he be reluctant, and bent down to help her up.
"Qiaoyun, if there is no way, how can I be willing to send you away, obedient, it is the best choice for you to leave."
After saying that, Master Shen walked out, even if he sent her away, he must have made arrangements.
"Zhu'er, why do you say he is so ruthless." Aunt Zhu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she had true feelings for Master Shen, and she didn't know whether to ask Shen Mingzhu or herself, "How can he be willing to send me to Zhuangzi, how can he be willing." ”
"My father was also forced to do it, and he had no other way but to send his aunt away." Shen Mingzhu sighed and helped Aunt Zhu to walk slowly towards the small courtyard.
