Chapter VII: Divorce
Liu's words were quickly recognized by Mrs. Wang, and Liu said to Mrs. Wang quite smugly: "Mother, we are in charge of this matter. The daughter-in-law saw that we didn't have to come forward, and after coming to the palace to mourn in the past few days, the eldest princess's mansion naturally couldn't sit still. ”
Listening to these words, Ying Shu couldn't help but secretly change her opinion of the big lady Liu.
In the past, I only felt that my mother-in-law was doing things in a hurry, and she lacked the weak and gentle beauty that ancient women should have. To be honest, this kind of temperament was not popular in the ancient back house, but if you look at it in another way, perhaps, your own mother-in-law may not only have ambitions to compete for favor in the back house. Or, at all, disdain.
"I'll have to discuss this with the master." Mrs. Wang sighed: "If the old man didn't take Sister Shu out to hang around, why would it be like this!" His father did a good job! ”
Liu shook his head, "I'm afraid this thing won't work." The lord is in officialdom. I'm afraid it's hard to say, mother, to be honest," Liu stepped forward and said to Mrs. Wang: "This is what our women in the back house should do." If you tell the master, I'm afraid of ......"
Mrs. Wang nodded, "How can I not know?" The temperament of this old man in our family has a big thing in his heart, but he looks down on our woman in his bones, and tells him that he is afraid that it will not work. ”
When Mrs. Wang spoke, she was speechless for both Yingshu and Liu, no matter what Liu's heart thought, Yingshu saw it clearly. In ancient feudal society, women were just subordinates of men, and there was never a day when they were truly treated fairly.
Sure enough, according to the rules and will of the palace, after the mourning for this Lord Rong Ke is completed, Yingshu's future mother-in-law, the eldest princess Zhaoming, will rest her son Shen Bin and visit Wang's Mansion in person.
Because the eldest princess of Zhaoming is a member of the royal family, there are still tears on her face, and she and Mrs. Wang sit on the left and right sides of the main hall of Haoyue Hall, with sad eyes. Mrs. Wang comforted: "The eldest princess is angry, and the death of the princess can be regarded as a happy funeral." ”
This is the first time Ying Shu has seen the legendary eldest princess of Zhaoming, only to see that the eldest princess is dressed in plain clothes and still can't hide the majestic and gorgeous atmosphere, with a long face and a thousand riches, and her eyes remain indifferent and noble, but she does not seem to be too much in her eyes. If it is really a heavenly atmosphere, it is extraordinarily noble.
Ying Shu just lifted it, and the air pressure around her body was lower. I can't help but sigh secretly, if I marry into the princess's mansion in the future, such a mother-in-law is afraid that I won't be able to resist it.
But there's no need to be afraid.
She thought of what her grandmother had said to her the night before: "If you don't want to, grandmother won't wronged you no matter what." ”
It is undoubtedly moving.
There is not even anything to repay.
"My aunt and grandmother have been adrift all her life for Daxin, and she is an example of my royal woman. The palace is naturally sad, His Majesty ordered a funeral for his aunt and grandmother, and we, as children of the royal family, naturally have to obey. ”
Ying Shu listened to it in her heart, it seemed that the eldest princess was showing her filial piety all the time, but in fact, she was not reminding Mrs. Wang of the dignity of their eldest princess's mansion all the time.
It is worthy of being the concubine of the first emperor and Empress Xiaorenjing of the Yuan Dynasty, her status is noble, and she has a pivotal position in the royal family.
"What the princess said is that the heart of the princess's mother and country is an example for all our women. As a woman, it is really a blessing to be able to contribute to the court and the country, and it is even more admirable. ”
Princess Zhaoming nodded lightly, looked at Mrs. Wang, and still held dignity: "It should be for my aunt and grandmother to mourn, but it's just ......" The eldest princess glanced at Ying Huan and said slowly: "Ming'er is also older, and since Concubine Yuan went, she has not been taken care of by anyone." It's hard to wait for the big girl. ”
The Ming'er mentioned by the eldest princess is the younger brother of the current saint, the first emperor and the concubine Cui of Yu'an. At the beginning, Princess Zhaoming and Princess Fuchang, as well as King Hewang, were raised under the knees of the biological mother of the saint Chunxi Guifei with the current saint, so the relationship between the four sisters and brothers was naturally better than that of the brothers and sisters next to them.
Ying Shu thought about the legend of the Chunxi concubine who existed in the writings of countless literati and ink writers, and couldn't help but gasp. Although he knows very little about the history of the Xin Dynasty, he can't run away from the bloody storm during this time.
My family is so close to several important figures in the royal family, and it is difficult to say whether it will be affected in the future.
Yingshu listened to what the princess said, and got up busily, "Princess Niangniang, Rong Yinghuan said something arrogant, since His Majesty's holy decree has been given, the concubine naturally wants to enter the palace to serve the king, and the concubine will be shameless to say that the concubine is a royal person." As a royal lady, the concubine naturally has to hold a funeral for her aunt and grandmother, and it is a blessing for the concubine to be able to contribute to her aunt and grandmother. Sister Huang...... It's a concubine. ”
This "imperial sister" naturally shows that the Wang Mansion is still respecting the princess's mansion, and it also shows that the Wang Mansion is now half of the royal family. is neither humble nor arrogant, neither losing respect for the princess, nor losing the natural dignity of the Wang Mansion.
The eldest princess of Zhaoming was happy and praised Mrs. Wang: "Sister Huan'er is sensible, and in the future, Sister Huan'er will manage the affairs of the house for Ming'er, and Your Majesty and I will be at ease." ”
"The eldest princess Niangniang Miao praised."
Naturally, the eldest princess Zhaoming's move was only a temptation, and soon the topic was brought to Ying Shu in a few words, "Actually...... I heard about Sister Shu'er early in the morning. Look at ...... old lady."
Is this matter the eldest princess's mansion in the end, that is, the eldest princess can't help but feel a little weak now, "I know that Sister Shu is filial piety, but ...... Since the two of us have decided on the family affairs, if we wait a little longer......"
Mrs. Wang insisted very much: "The eldest princess also knows that Sister Shu'er's mother was married by Emperor Meng. Although she is not a lady, she is the respect of a flat wife. You also know that Sister Shu's biological mother is precious, and the daughter-in-law in the family also means to treat her as a wife. This girl can be regarded as a combination of national filial piety and family filial piety, which is naturally unknown. ”
"Sister Shu is upright, we can naturally wait." The eldest princess said politely.
Hearing this, Ying Shu hurriedly got up and stood up, saying that she didn't dare to bear such praise from the eldest princess.
Old Mrs. Wang shook her head: "The eldest princess Niangniang's words are to raise Yingshu." It's just that Yingshu is young, and I'm afraid she can't afford the eldest princess's expectations. And Mr. said that the girl is full of filial piety, and she has to wait three years to come out. ”
Ying Shu knew in her heart that in addition to respecting Confucian etiquette, the current Daxin Dynasty also believed in the Mandate of Heaven and the Heavenly Phenomena. In this way, Mrs. Wang came up with these words, so that the eldest princess could not ask the Wang family to reduce the mourning period.
And three years later, the eldest princess's child under the house is afraid that he will run all over the ground, if he waits for three years and does not become a housewife, then the eldest princess's mansion will become a joke in the entire Pingjing City.
Mrs. Wang is sure that the eldest princess's mansion can't wait.
What the Eldest Princess's Mansion needs most now can be said to be not the third lady of the Cabinet Cabinet's hometown, but a wife, a wife who can be a stepmother as soon as she comes up.
Maybe anyone can do it.
"Old lady, let's ask Sister Shu." The eldest princess is now amiable, and she still doesn't give up, "What does Sister Shu mean?" ”
So Ying Shu stood up very naturally, got up generously according to the previous design, and forced two lines of tears to come out, "Grandmother, princess, Ying Shu...... I...... My mother died in front of me to save me, and the daughter should have died for her mother, but let her mother die for me. Ying Shu is so unfilial, she feels less for her mother's mourning for ten years. Ying Shu is not talented, she wants to do her filial piety for her mother, and she also wants to pray more for the princess. ”
Old Lady Wang hurriedly got up and saluted the eldest princess: "The eldest princess forgives her sins, there is no way to do this." Erlang is polite and polite, it is our Wang family who has climbed high, and now the girl has a heavy filial piety, no matter what, she does not dare to bring the ominous into the princess's mansion, it is a capital crime. Erlang is used to being good, what kind of ladies in Pingjing City will not be able to find it in the future? ”
After that, Ying Shu also knelt down busily, "Please forgive Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
The eldest princess saw that there was no hope for the family, and that it was the phoenix son and dragon grandson, so she put up that pride again, and her tone became indifferent again: "That's the case, it's a pity." ”
Later, for the sake of dignity and face, the eldest princess had to stay and gossip with Mrs. Wang, but Ying Shu naturally retreated.
Ying Shu breathed a long sigh of relief, she was afraid that she would never want to see such a "big scene" again.
did not have the joy of solving the trouble as he imagined, but gasped, and the situation was clearly not the fault of the Wang Mansion, but he asked the entire Wang Mansion to sit down and admit that it was not.
Feudalism of all evils.
If you don't do it at all, you will get angry.
She felt more and more that Mrs. Wang and her mother-in-law Liu were taking what kind of risk they were taking to withdraw from the marriage for themselves.
I felt a lot of gratitude in my heart, and I felt more and more warmth from my family.
She was thinking about her origin, but she heard a voice behind her: "Three girls! ”
Ying Shu turned around and saw that it was Shen Bin!
She immediately panicked, and didn't know what posture to take to face Shen Bin, so she just saluted blankly.
I saw Shen Bin slowly walking up to him with a smile on his face.
That handsome face, when he smiled, was even more cute, but in Yingshu's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it, but he felt awkward.
That was originally a man from Zhilan Yushu, and in all fairness, it would not be a loss if he could marry such a husband. It's just that such a good-looking man only likes men at all, so he can't accept it anyway.
"The two of us, it's finally okay." Shen Bin smiled lightly, but there was quite a light and breezy atmosphere.
Ying Shu felt even more overwhelmed in the wind.
