Chapter 1 Crossing is being deceived
Daxin Dynasty, orthodox five years, Pingjing City, Wangfu Haoyue Hall.
The maid Xiangli came in with a plate and said, "Third Miss, Mrs. has ordered someone to bring some good cheese." ”
Ying Shu was thinking about national affairs in her heart, and replied numbly: "Let it go." ”
Chen's mother's shrill voice unique to middle-aged and elderly women sounded, "The girl is young and has a weak stomach, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat these hard things." ”
After that, she hurriedly stepped forward, picked up two pieces of pastry cheese and divided them, took the remaining whole plate in her arms, and said happily: "It's better to let the old woman take it and give it to my little grandson." ”
Ying Shu nodded helplessly: "What Mom said is, then take it." ”
Chen's mother responded and went down happily.
Xiangli snorted coldly and said, "Phew, what's the matter, it's so arrogant to be the wife's companion, and the girl can bear it?" The slave really wanted to give her a few big-eared scrapers. ”
Ying Shu stared at the direction of the door, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "Mother Chen, she is a person with a long experience, and she can't bear it." ”
Forbearance is the first rule of survival for a wealthy family that she has realized since she crossed over for two months.
Guy Yingshu's current identity is a little embarrassing.
Although she is nominally the third daughter of Wang Ying, the elder of the cabinet cabinet, in fact, she is no different from the concubine, because her deceased biological mother Ping is just a flat wife.
Two months ago, the Wang family moved from Suzhou City to Pingjing City, and when they encountered water bandits on the waterway, Ping's wife Liu blocked the knife and died, and the original owner also fell into the water and died.
Ying Shu was confused for two months before she gradually accepted the fact of crossing, but in the eyes of everyone, she was overly sad because of the death of her biological mother, and the old lady Peng was moved by compassion and talked to Liu for a long time.
As soon as Liu came out of the old lady's house, he ordered Ying Shu to be moved to his Haoyue Hall with red eyes and raised, and he still thought that he would be treated as his own girl, but Ying Shu was already a fifteen-year-old girl after all, how could this mother-daughter relationship be easily cultivated?
In addition, the Wang family had just returned to Beijing, and the Liu family was busy with the council entertainment, so she was even more powerless.
Chen's mother has only been here for three days, so she doesn't put the good-tempered Ying Shu in her eyes, and the good things sent by Liu, Ying Shu haven't enjoyed it, so it's all in her pocket.
If Ying Shu occasionally asks for something, she will complain that Ying Shu is not good at serving: "The girl should also be sensible, although the wife treats you well, but you should also save some money for the wife." Besides, the little girl brother should not be pampered. ”
In ancient times, the nanny mother of a large family, although she was essentially a subordinate, but she assumed the responsibility of upbringing and feeding, so under normal circumstances, if there is something wrong with the young lady and son, the nanny mother is the first person to come forward to educate.
So Ying Shu had no position to teach Chen's mother a lesson, so she could only smile hard and try not to trouble her.
In this situation, the two maids beside Ying Shu, Xiang Li and Xingzi, were not angry, and complained many times openly and secretly, but Ying Shu just smiled and said, "Wait a minute." ”
And the opportunity she was waiting for soon came.
On this day, the Liu family came to visit Yingshu for the first time, "Sister Shu, how is your body recovering?" ”
Mother Chen diligently gathered around, staring at Ying Shu tightly, for fear that she would say something that she shouldn't say, so Ying Shu showed her well-behaved very interestingly: "Thank you Mother cares, I am already much better." ”
"That's good, that's good. I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well!" Liu smiled slightly, probably trying his best to put on a gentle and kind appearance, although it was very disobedient.
She changed her words: "Sister Shu, in a few days, why don't you go out and see and learn?" Our family has just arrived in the capital, and many families in the capital don't know how many of your sisters are, but it won't work in the future, and in a few months, Chengguo Gong will be on his birthday, Princess Fuchang said that she wants to meet your sisters! ”
This Princess Fuchang is not an outsider, but her second sister's future mother-in-law.
Yingshu's father Wang Ying has a total of four wives and concubines, the main wife Liu has the eldest sister Yinghuan, the eldest brother Wang Zhan and the second brother Wang Yan, the flat wife Ping has the third sister Yingshu, Aunt Wang has the second sister Yingchang, and there is a childless and childless Aunt Yang.
The eldest girl, Ying Huan, was given a marriage by the saint to the king of He, and she was the princess after the door; The second girl, Ying Chang, was married to Princess Fuchang's concubine, although she was a concubine, Princess Fuchang did not have a brother, and this concubine also had a bright future.
In addition, although Ying Shu was born higher than the second girl, her marriage was lowered, and she was promised to Princess Zhaoming and Shen Bin, the second son of Yongfu Hou, who sounded stronger than the princess's concubine, but she couldn't inherit the title, which was a few layers worse.
When it comes to Shen Bin, Ying Shu always feels that this name seems to be very familiar, but unfortunately she is not a professional student of history, although she has read a lot of history books, but she has long forgotten it.
Forget it, if you can't think of it, you don't want to think about it, knowing that it is a good thing to be able to go out, Ying Shu cheered unconsciously in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that this body is always sick and painful, she would have wanted to go out to breathe.
thought so in her heart, but she still maintained a soft and respectful face: "It's all up to my mother, it's just that since I fell into the water, I have forgotten many things, and I am afraid of embarrassing my mother......"
"Oh, Sister Shu, what are you not afraid of?" Liu comforted Yingshu: "You follow me, follow your big sister, it will not be bad." ”
Ying Shu nodded very obediently.
Liu happily motioned to Mother Sun next to her to open the mahogany box in her hand, only to see a red pomegranate-shaped head lying inside.
She picked up her head and gestured to Yingshu's bun: "This is the one I ordered someone to create in Sibao Zhai with a little emerald ruby pomegranate, the color is strangely bright, you wear it just right." ”
Ying Shu squatted down and saluted, "Mother Xie cares." ”
"Okay, okay." Liu was very satisfied with Yingshu's peace of mind, and was about to contact the mother-daughter relationship with the cheap daughter again, when the voice of the report came from outside the door, and Liu had to go back in a hurry.
Ying Shu looked at Chen's mother with a golden light in her eyes very consciously, "This face is not as good as my mother to help me collect it, I have less hair, and I can't stand such a heavy weight." ”
Mother Chen smiled happily, grinning like a monkey: "Okay, good, the girl has said so, and the old woman will have to respond." ”
Ying Shu looked at the back of Chen's mother in the distance, thinking about Miss Yingchun in "Dream of Red Mansions", no wonder most of the ancient nursing mothers in the wild history book were harlequins.
Fortunately, this harlequin didn't last long.
As soon as Ying Shu announced that she was in good health, she was sent to the eldest girl Ying Huan's Furong Pavilion to relearn boudoir skills such as writing female red.
Ying Huan is the eldest of the sisters and brothers in the Wang family, just like the eldest son and eldest daughter in many families, she likes to teach her younger siblings a lesson, but she has a hearty personality and treats people sincerely, which is very popular.
However, after five days of hard work, Yingshu's calligraphy has improved a lot.
"My sister taught me well, and it was also because of my hard work."
Ying Shu is very good at observing words and feelings, and she finds that the eldest sister likes the affection of her younger siblings for her, but the two younger brothers are men, and the second sister has always refused to communicate, so she decided to hand over this glorious responsibility to herself.
"You monkey." Ying Huan scolded with a smile.
She was very happy to be coaxed by Yingshu's rhetoric in the past few days, looking at her sister's coquettishness, she deeply felt the meaning of being the eldest sister, and a little warmth rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but get closer to Yingshu.
She remembered one thing and said to Yingshu: "Sister Shu, I think my mother also told you, the day after tomorrow, Princess Fuchang's concubine Chengguo Gong will have a birthday, and invited a few of our sisters, you go back and choose some decent jewelry, don't be like this, Tesujing." ”
"Hmm." Ying Shu was secretly happy in her heart, her eyes blinked, she was very touching and cute, "Sister...... You...... Can you lend me some good head jewelry? ”
Ying Huan was very puzzled: "Didn't my mother give you a lot of head jewelry?" I looked at the set of emerald ruby pomegranates that were good, luxurious and generous. ”
Ying Shu's eyes continued to roll, looking embarrassed, her voice was even smaller, and her tone was quite aggrieved.
"Chen's mother said that I was young and had short hair, and that I couldn't wear such a heavy head, which would damage my hair, so she kept it for me, saying that she would wait for me to have more hair before wearing it."
She pointed to the silver hairpin on her bun, "Mother Chen said that the heads and faces given by my mother are all sinking, and this hairpin is light and does not hurt my hair, so I only wear this." ”
There are eight points of truth and two points of falsehood in these words, and when she heard Ying Huan's beautiful face, there was obvious anger, she immediately got up and said angrily: "There is such a thing, this is also a bit of a bully." Wait, I'll go to my mother to reason. ”
Ying Shu looked ignorant, like a stupid rabbit, and only tilted her neck and asked, "Sister...... What's wrong? Isn't Mother Chen for my good? ”
Ying Huan looked like she hated iron but not steel, "You little fool, why are you so relieved of Mother Chen?" ”
"Isn't Mother Chen's mother?" Ying Shu continued to blink her eyes, looking puzzled: "How could my mother's people treat me badly?" ”
When Ying Huan heard this, a cloud of suspicion secretly rose in her heart.
She didn't dare to delay, and when she pulled Yingshu to the main courtyard to find Liu, she told her the whole story of the matter as soon as she saw it.
"Mother doesn't understand it either." Ying Huan helped Liu to walk in front and said in a low voice: "Although you have just moved to the capital to be busy, since you promised your grandmother, you should not take care of your third sister negligently." If the third sister is a troublemaker, I am afraid that it will already be caused to my grandmother, and you are afraid that you will inevitably be reprimanded at that time. ”
Liu scolded: "This old thing, relying on my companion room, she is arrogant like a cat with a mouse, I thought that sending her over could still control those small ones, who knew that it was such a situation." God pity it, I didn't say anything about the three girls who treated those three girls, and today I have to kill that old thing, something that is not worrying. ”
"So the third sister is a worry-free one!"
Ying Huan has always known that her mother, capable is capable, but her temper is slightly impatient, such small things can never pass through the brain, and often big things are more understandable, such a temperament is suitable to be a man, and it is inevitable that it is not good to be a woman.
She couldn't help but patiently remind: "So my mother should treat the third sister as her own, the second mother died for you, we should take good care of the third sister." And I see that the third sister is weak and indisputable, and since she fell into the water, she has become even less timid like a little mouse. With such a character, you don't have to worry about keeping it in your hands, right? In the future, if you can mix better in the Zhaoming Eldest Princess's Mansion, you will also have a lot of help in your hands. ”
"I understand." Liu nodded in response, but couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Mother Chen knows my temperament, how dare she do such a thing that damages my reputation?" I don't have to get tired of it. ”
"It's the mother's own lack of prudence." Ying Huan held Liu's arm and patiently explained: "I just sent someone to check, doesn't Chen's mother have a son?" Her son is unconscious, and he has a head and tail with a female envoy named Xiao Cui in Aunt Wang's room, and I am afraid that he will be detained by the Wang family. ”
"Then I can't leave it alone!" The look of resentment on Liu's face became more and more obvious, "That slut still dares to stretch out his hand to me?" After that, the Liu family looked like he was going out to ask Aunt Wang about the crime.
Seeing this, Ying Huan hurriedly pressed Liu and persuaded: "Mother is confused? You went directly to Aunt Wang, what is this? If Aunt Wang finds her father, won't you ......?"
Liu said impatiently: "Then how about me? Could it be that you have endured it? ”
Ying Huan was very helpless, but she also whispered a lot of words to Liu's ear, which made Liu's peace separate.
