Chapter VI: National Mourning
Ying Shu looked at Mrs. Wang carefully, only to see her brows tightened, and her heart was suddenly "groaning". She glanced at Mr. Zhang again, but saw that Mr. Zhang didn't have any special look.
"This ...... Grandmother, isn't it delicious? She hurriedly came to Mrs. Wang's side, ready to be coquettish at any time.
"Who taught you this? Didn't I say that I want Qibao tea? I saw Mrs. Wang bluffing, probably frightened by this "dark dish".
Ying Shu's heart was crossed, so she had to say: "Grandmother, that Qibao tea is really too difficult, and I see that the tea is really a little bad, not suitable for eating." I just thought, what kind of style for your grandmother, it's a good taste......" Yingshu muttered, "I saw that there was fresh milk in the small kitchen, and there was a good Qimen red, so I thought...... Replace it with something fresh for your grandmother to taste. Ying Shu said timidly, just lowered her head, like a little cat who made a mistake, holding Mrs. Wang's sleeve tightly, and spoiled.
In fact, it is very ordinary, although it is Yingshu's whim, but it is also her favorite milk tea in modern times, and she can't help but want to try it when she sees milk in the kitchen.
It was something she hadn't tried in a long time, and now she was just eager to try it and find some memories of the past.
"It's sweet and refreshing, but it's good." After all, Mrs. Wang said lightly.
Zhang Lao Lao smiled and said: "I don't know where the third girl came from with such a delicate mind, my wife and I have lived for so long, but I have never tasted such milk tea, even the milk tea in the white department is also salty." β
Old Lady Wang nodded and praised: "It's a novelty." β
Ying Shu dared to put down her heart at this time, and said to Mrs. Wang even more slimyly: "I knew that my grandmother would like it." β
Mrs. Wang was very helpless, so she had to smile at Ying Shu: "What can I do?" Let's see if you've learned the benefits of your big sister even a bit! β
Ying Shu smiled "hehe", which can be regarded as prevaricating the matter.
Mrs. Wang was coaxed by Yingshu to eat some food, and Yingshu waited for Mrs. Wang to finish her nap, and then slowly withdrew.
Out of Huan Shou Xuan, the smile on Ying Shu's face disappeared.
If the husband is just a broken sleeve, it will be okay to be safe after marriage in the future. But if her husband even has a child, it is clear that he does not take himself as the third lady of the old family in his eyes.
is also, a woman who is not a concubine, her father is not painful, but her mother is dead, who will care?
"Hey......" After all, he still died miserably.
A bad hand.
Ying Huan quickly noticed that something was wrong with Ying Shu since she came back from Huan Shou Xuan, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What's wrong?" Why do you look at you sullen? β
Ying Shu was stunned for a moment, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but burst out of the embankment.
It's not that she's too fragile, since she crossed over, although she mourns, she always wants to face life bravely, and now that these things have happened, she really realizes that she is still just an isolated and helpless person.
Fortunately, this Wang Mansion is not considered to be warm, there is a loving grandmother, a hard-hearted eldest sister, even if it is a mother's wife, she does not treat women who are not her own like most online novels.
It's just that she is now fifteen, and at such an age in ancient times, she was afraid that she was about to get married, and how long she could stay in this safe haven of Wang Mansion was not calculated after all.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just that I miss my mother a little. β
This sentence of missing her mother naturally does not refer to her mother-in-law Liu, Ying Huan heard it, she only felt that Ying Shu missed her biological mother Ping, so she didn't feel moist her eyes, and hugged Ying Shu in her arms to comfort her a little.
It's just that Yingshu knows that her warmth in modern times is no longer good.
In fact, there is no other way to face the chicken feathers in a place.
Think of it as a previous life.
I can't always bring the things of my previous life to this life, blindly obsessing over the past, just afraid that it will not be good for anyone.
Here, Yingshu eased her mood a little, and over there, Mrs. Liu was scolding.
Liu's roommate, Mr. Sun, was reporting to Liu's Aunt Wang since she was pregnant, which was making Liu's unhappy, and she was about to go back to rest, but she met Aunt Wang who was walking in the back garden.
Aunt Wang is usually soft and weak, and a few words to the Liu family showed how unbearable Yingshu's fiancΓ© was.
"The wife should go and have a look, I heard that the third girl knew, and she cried in the room uncomfortably. You should hurry up and persuade it. Aunt Wang said with fake concern.
And it is clear about Shen Bin's matter, according to Mrs. Wang's meaning, she will postpone talking to Ying Shu again. I'm afraid that Yingshu's mood that is difficult to relieve will fall into depression again.
After hearing this, Liu went to Haoyue Hall in a hurry, who knew that half of the party had left, and there was another humane: "Mr. Wang in the palace has arrived, please listen to the imperial decree in the palace." β
Liu was angry and tired, and wanted to scold people, but there was an internal supervisor in the palace to pass on the decree, so naturally he had to respectfully step forward to accept the decree.
The meaning from the palace is: the emperor's aunt and grandmother Rong Ke eldest princess died, and the emperor ordered a state funeral for one year to show filial piety.
"Lord Rong Ke was originally a married princess, and according to the rules, there was no need for a state funeral. It's just that this Lord Rong Ke married for the country and his relatives at the beginning, and it was also a credit to the community, although he could not mourn for three years like the emperor, but in the end it was also shown by filial piety. Mrs. Wang explained with Liu's support.
Liu nodded, looked at Ying Shu, who was serving respectfully behind him, and wanted to say something, but his eyes only showed a look of sympathy and worry.
In fact, the Liu family cares about this daughter who was picked up halfway, and since the misunderstanding with Yingshu's biological mother Ping was solved over the years, she was even more remorseful, but she didn't know how to express it.
"Look at our family, there are two princesses' mansions and one royal mansion, and they all have to postpone the marriage. But don't worry, Sister Huan's marriage was decided early in the morning, and now it can be seventeen, even if you wait another year. β
The Liu family was a little absent-minded, Mrs. Wang always knew that what the Liu family cared about most was the happiness of this concubine's future, where would she ignore her own daughter, so she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the Liu family, "What's wrong with you?" What do you think? β
Liu hurriedly responded with his head and helped Mrs. Wang to sit on the warm kang, "Mother, daughter-in-law is thinking, Ying Shuyuan doesn't care." It's just that I can't afford to stay for another year. It's just ......" She turned her head to look at Ying Shu, and said in her heart: "It's just Sister Shu'er's marriage, I see that we can solve it as much as possible." Where is there such a person? Even the princess's mansion can't be so deceitful! β
The more Liu said, the more angry he became: "The second brother of the Shen family always loves to play no matter how many years he has been playing. Now there are rumors of broken sleeves, and she is pregnant at a young age! Where is there such an appalling thing? Although our family is not extremely rich, it is also valued by His Majesty, and the little girl of our family became a mother before passing the door, isn't this a joke? β
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to tell Ying Shu that Shen Bin was so "unbearable", and she couldn't say anything about it, but she didn't know that the Liu family in front of her had stabbed out all the things, and now she couldn't stop it.
"It's not that the daughter-in-law doesn't want Sister Shu to be married, but Shen Bin really can't do it. In the future, it will be Sister Shu who will suffer! Now it is just right, taking advantage of the national funeral, Sister Ping is the seat given by the first emperor himself, so it is said that Sister Shu is mourning for the sake of national filial piety, and it is not much, three or four years is enough. The daughter-in-law looked at the princess's mansion just to find a good bully and wanted to solve the problem, we can't ruin Sister Shu'er's future in vain. β
Mrs. Wang looked at the indignant Liu, although her words were a little rough, but she moved Mrs. Wang by mistake.
The old grandmother was worried about the future of her child, so she forgot to stop Liu for a while.
"The most important filial piety in the country, as long as Sister Shu wants to mourn for the country and the family, it is difficult for everyone to say anything. In front of the door, the little slut in the princess's mansion is about to give birth, so naturally he can't wait for three or four years. They wanted to wait for the national funeral and marry Sister Shu'er into the door, so as to save face. Let's be tougher then, Princess Fuchang can only withdraw from the marriage for the lintel of the princess's mansion. At that time, our girl will be raised to seventeen or eighteen, and in the name of filial piety, will you still be worried that you can't find a good family? β
Mrs. Wang nodded unconsciously when she heard this, she knew that her daughter-in-law was usually in a hurry, but the big things were never ambiguous, and she had the momentum of a man. It sounds troublesome now, but when you think about it, it works.
"Shu girl...... Mrs. Wang thought that Ying Shu was still on the side, and thought of the order not to pass this matter on, and she didn't feel a pain in her heart......
"Grandmother talked to mother, and Yingshu stepped back first."
"Go ahead."
She took the hand of the maid Xiangli out, but her heart was complicated.
I don't know whether God favors her or treats her poorly, and she can't tell the difference.
It's just that she feels more and more that this "home" is inexplicably more homely.
"Didn't I say you couldn't say it to the outside world?" Although Mrs. Wang agreed with Liu's words, she felt pain in her heart when she saw her little granddaughter's uncomfortable expression.
Liu didn't know the secret, but Mrs. Wang couldn't bear to poke Yingshu's sore spot, so she only replied: "Mother, you have to face it if you don't want to face it, right?" Sister Shu will have to take this matter to herself in mind sooner or later. β
She sighed: "In the past, I was sorry for Yuan'er, so many misunderstandings caused me to ignore their mother and son for more than ten years. It's just that now, the daughter-in-law can't anymore. Although Sister Shu is fifteen, I can't raise it from childhood to adulthood, but I can't feel at ease, that is, I can make up for it as much as I can. β
Mrs. Wang sighed deeply: "It's all about making people!" ...... at the beginning"
