Chapter 24: I actually saved the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion
Shen Mingzhen refused to take the money, and Master Shen was very unhappy.
glared at Mrs. Sun, who came with the child in her arms: "They are all good daughters you have taught." ”
Shen Mingzhen didn't take the money, and he didn't have the face to borrow from the big house and the third room, so he could only go to the two houses for a walk, and said something about Shen Mingzhu's marriage, forcing the two families to take thirty taels each and a pair of heads to fill the dowry for their nephews.
Master Shen sold a piece of Huimo that he had been reluctant to give up in the study for one hundred taels, and made four quilts and two hairpins for Shen Mingzhu, together with some melons, fruits, rice and noodles, and put them on the shelves to carry the dowry, and only made up four dowries in total.
For this reason, Master Shen felt that his face had been lost.
Aunt Zhu was looking for death and life on the day of Shen Mingzhu's wedding, and went to her brother's Zhu Zhen Pavilion to look for death and life for a day, and finally scraped together another eighty taels of silver. She used the eighty taels of silver to buy Shen Mingzhu a set of decent heads and a few silver bracelets, and asked Shen Mingzhu to bring them over.
When the new daughter-in-law gets married, when she sees the gift the next day, she has to distribute gifts to the juniors of her husband's family. Although these silver bracelets are not too expensive, they are fortunate to be real in weight and delicate in pattern, and the husband's family has never been able to say anything.
After Shen Mingzhu got married, Aunt Zhu felt that her side was empty all of a sudden.
After she accidentally slipped a tire in the small yard, she helped Shen Mingzhu with her work, not only tired, but also cold. At this moment, he was lying on the collapse of the hut, coughing repeatedly.
The doctor showed her and kindly persuaded her: "Auntie, I am too tired these days, the Shen family has a big business, as long as you eat some nourishing and tonic food every day, and then raise it for a period of time, your body will be able to survive." ”
Aunt Zhu nodded.
She went to instruct the maid beside her: "You go to the old man, say that I am not in good health, the doctor said that I must eat some nourishing food, and ask him to tell the kitchen to stew a cup for me every day." ”
What can Master Shen do, even he hasn't eaten very well during this time.
If it weren't for the fact that he was trying to go to Mrs. Sun's yard to eat and drink during this time, his body would have deteriorated. The Shen Mansion was already in a difficult situation, so he posted a sum of silver to Shen Mingzhu, where is there any silver to nourish Aunt Zhu.
But in the end, the friendship between husband and wife for many years is still there, and he thought about it: "From now on, let the kitchen cut off the meat on the chicken neck and chicken butt left over from Mrs. Sun's food, and stew soup for Aunt Zhu every day." ”
"Yes." The maid stepped back.
Shen Mingzhen didn't stop it, she didn't have to think about it, she could know how bad Aunt Zhu's mood would be when she knew that she had a chicken neck and a chicken butt in her meat cup.
She deserved it, if it weren't for her and Shen Mingzhu, her shisu wouldn't have died.
Shen Mingzhen is doing well in the mansion now, but Master Shen doesn't love him in the end, and Mrs. Shen treats herself mediocre. Although they knew their usefulness and didn't dare to make a stumbling block for themselves, in the end, this Shen family was not in charge of their own affairs, Shen Mingzhen lived in the Shen Mansion and lived very uncomfortable.
She pulled Mrs. Sun out to get a good breath, and after the two of them visited the large and small clothing stores and jewelry stores, they went to the private room of the largest restaurant to have a good meal, and Shen Mingzhen ordered all the signature dishes in the restaurant.
Mrs. Sun looked at the dishes on the table and hesitated: "Is this finished?" ”
"I can't finish eating and take it home." Shen Mingzhen sandwiched a piece of honey. Roasted prawns for Mrs. Sun, "The shrimp in this shop are very delicious, the shrimp meat is soft and tender, the soup is sweet, and together it is a rare delicacy." ”
Mrs. Sun tasted it and was very satisfied, and ate all ten shrimp in the whole plate.
Shen Mingzhen sandwiched another piece of venison to her: "My mother just gave birth to a younger brother and sister, and it is just when I need to replenish my body, try this piece of smoked bacon, which is the best meat made in this shop." ”
The meat is soft and rotten, with the aroma of cumin and chili peppers, and the shrimp are two very different tastes.
Mrs. Sun ate two mouthfuls of venison and couldn't eat it anymore.
Shen Mingzhen greeted Xiao Er: "Help us wrap these dishes in oiled paper, and help my mother make three servings of honey. Sauce roasted prawns back. ”
It is rare for such a big customer to spend a lot of money, Xiao Er promised again and again, wrapped the food that Shen Mingzhen wanted, and beckoned the other party to come again next time.
Mrs. Sun knew that Shen Mingzhen had spent dozens of taels of silver to go out, and she was very distressed.
Shen Mingzhen smiled: "It's not that we can't make money now, besides, the taste of this house is very good, and there are many kinds of dishes." There are not only venison, which is extremely difficult to hunt, but also shrimp and hairy crabs in the sea, and large yellow croaker that can only be found in the south. These dishes travel long distances to be eaten in our mouths, and of course they are expensive. I see that my mother just now, she likes to eat these dishes very much. ”
Mrs. Sun was aroused by her daughter's words again, and hurriedly greeted the maid on the side: "Send all the dishes that Zhen'er and I didn't finish eating today to the small kitchen in my yard, and send them to me when they are heated in the evening." ”
Seeing that it was not early, she beckoned Shen Mingzhen: "Let's go and see your store, let's go home." ”
"Okay."
Shen Mingzhen helped Mrs. Sun get into the carriage, and not long after she got in, she heard the little guy who was driving "whoosh" and pulled the carriage to stop.
Outside the carriage lay an unconscious old man, richly dressed, lying unconscious on the ground. The onlookers were in twos and threes, and because they didn't know the identity of the other party, they didn't dare to rescue them at will, so Shen Mingzhen hurriedly beckoned the little girl to help the old lady into the carriage.
She checked the old lady's pulse in the carriage, which was not a big problem, the old lady was old, and she was frightened, which caused her to fall unconscious, but unfortunately she did not have the habit of carrying needles with her.
Shen Mingzhen took the old lady to Shen's house and administered an injection to the old lady in Mrs. Sun's room, and the old lady woke up quietly.
She brought the boiled tranquilizer to the old lady: "I happened to meet you on the street, and it happened that you were unconscious. I don't know which ancestor you are, so my mother and I took you back. ”
The old lady leaned on the head of the bed, drank the soup with her hand, took the candied fruit from the plate on the side and ate it, and looked at her with a smile: "I don't know where the old body is now?" ”
Shen Mingzhen told her that she was now in the Shen family.
The old lady nodded, stared at Shen Mingzhen for a long time, seeing that she was bright and generous, with a good posture, and treated herself as a stranger very sincerely, she couldn't help but like Shen Mingzhen more and more.
The old lady took off the agarwood bracelet on her hand: "You saved me, this is a little heart, please be sure to accept it." Otherwise, my wife will feel guilty in my heart. ”
Shen Mingzhen smiled, asked the kitchen to boil millet porridge for the old lady, with a stack of shrimp brought back from the restaurant at noon, as well as cold cucumbers, and brought it to the room to the old lady: "You are not in good health, you can't get too much oily things." Here are some of the meals you cook at home, would you like to try them to see if they are to your liking? ”
The cucumbers are refreshing, the prawns are delicious, the millet nourishes the stomach, and the old lady is very satisfied.
In the evening, Shen Mingzhen sent a car to take the old lady home, only to know that the old lady was the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an.
In her previous life, she only stayed in the mansion of the Marquis of Wu'an, and she was not familiar with other relatives of the Marquis of Wu'an, so she had never met the Marquis of Wu'an.
She really didn't want to have anything to do with the Marquis of Wu'an.
After Shen Mingzhen knew that the other party was the Marquis of Wu'an, she was a little panicked, and hurriedly sent Mrs. Tai into the carriage, hoping that this life would not be the same as in the previous life.
The little maid in the house asked Shen Mingzhen to go to Mrs. Shen to talk at night.
Mrs. Shen had already placed good melons and fruits in her room, and she motioned to Mother Chen to personally serve tea to Shen Mingzhen: "You girl is really good, you saved the lady of Wu'an Hou's Mansion, why don't you tell your grandmother." You are young, what should you do if you don't treat Mrs. Tai well? ”
Shen Mingzhen: ......
How did she know that it was the lady of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, if she had known, she would have sent people to the hospital early.
Shen Mingzhen transferred the bracelet given to her by Mrs. Wu'an Hou Mansion to Mrs. Shen: "What grandmother said is that this is the bracelet that Mrs. Tai gave to her granddaughter. If the granddaughter wears such a valuable thing, she should give it to her grandmother. ”
That's agarwood worth a thousand gold.
Agarwood has the name of being incorruptible for thousands of years. When worn by ordinary people, it can also have the effect of protecting peace and security.
Old Mrs. Shen knew that this bracelet was rare, so she smiled at Shen Mingzhen, and personally took a piece of snack on the table for her: "This is the rose cake I asked the small kitchen to make this morning, you can taste it." ”
Shen Mingzhen thanked Mrs. Shen.
I didn't have to listen to Mrs. Shen say that Shen Mingzhu was not doing very well in the hustle and bustle.
Because of the small dowry she brought in the past, she and the third son of Huan happened again at the flower viewing party, and the Huan family saw her very clearly.
The concubines of the third prince are even more difficult.
When I went to greet her on the second day, I sarcastically mocked her one by one, only saying that Shen Mingzhu, the main wife, was useless, and she couldn't bring any benefits to the third son, and she was a useless waste.
When Shen Mingzhu returned to the door, she went to Mrs. Shen and Aunt Zhu to cry for a long time.
Mrs. Shen didn't like her, but she was a little sympathetic to her granddaughter's situation and couldn't help but want to help her. She looked at Shen Mingzhen: "This matter was caused by your second sister, but the family of the Huan family is already very chaotic, and your second sister has no money and no power, so it is really difficult to live."
Lend your second sister some silver, more than a hundred taels. ”
In this way, Shen Mingzhu will not be beaten by the three sons every now and then because he can't come up with the money.
A big man doesn't go outside to earn money, but instead wants to play tricks on his mother-in-law at home, and the third son is really not a human being.
But Shen Mingzhu has already married, and Mrs. Shen regrets her connivance, and there is no other way.
Shen Mingzhen agreed.
Shen Mingzhu has such an experience, and he knows how sinister the outside world is. It can be regarded as retribution.
It's time to put it down.
If Shisu was still alive, she wouldn't want her to live in hatred every day.
