It had been two weeks since he met Zhou Yu, and Shen Nianchu recalled Zhou Yu's handsome face, and his heart was still a little restless. On weekdays, I come into contact with some five big and three rough boys.,I haven't seen much of this kind of gentle and elegant.,And it's also my own relative.。 Although it's not close, it seems that he is also a person who can help himself.

Zhilan glanced at Shen Nianchu, who was secretly happy, pulled Cui'er's clothes and said, "Sister Cui'er, do you know what the second miss is laughing at?" She has been staying by the second lady's side for a few days, but she still doesn't understand the second miss's behavior. And Sister Cui'er was not very willing to teach her, so she could only silently guess Miss's thoughts.

Cui'er was holding a needle and thread in her hand at the moment, sewing and mending her clothes, and when she saw Zhilan interrupting her, she said a little impatiently: "How do I know, why don't you ask yourself?" "I don't know what the second lady thinks, isn't it enough to have her own service? Why do you have to buy a girl ring back, isn't this competing with yourself for favor?

Since she followed the second lady back to the house, Cui'er has been amiable on the surface, but she always makes a stumbling block for herself behind her back, and she doesn't take care of herself very much, isn't it because she followed Miss, so Cui'er is angry? Zhilan thought with some chagrin. And Shen Nianchu, who was stealing music at this moment, didn't find the slightest problem between the two, if Shen Nianchu could wake up a little, there would be no things behind.

"Second Miss, the old lady asked you to go to her courtyard, and the eldest lady and the third lady are also over there." The voice of Mother Jiang came from the courtyard, Mother Jiang was personally selected by the old lady for Mother Gui, not only is she more diligent, but also more down-to-earth. Shen Nianchu also liked it when he saw it at the beginning. Now, Jiang's mother takes care of herself, firstly, she has a reliable person, and secondly, Jiang's mother also knows a lot of grandmother's habits, and it is more convenient to please her grandmother.

"Got it, Mother Jiang, I'll go over now." Shen Nianchu got up and walked to the dresser, and asked Cui'er to help her tidy up her messy hair a little, Aunt Xu must be there too, she didn't want to go, but since it was the old lady's request, she naturally couldn't shirk it.

Before leaving, Shen Nianchu didn't take Zhilan there, it was just a family gathering, and it was meaningless to take too many people there. Zhilan drooped her head, saluted and walked to the back of the courtyard, before leaving, she also accidentally saw Cui'er's smug expression, as if she was laughing at herself.

Old Lady's Yard

In the main hall, the old lady was wearing a dark purple dress and sitting on the upper seat drinking tea, the eldest lady Guo sat in the first position on her right hand, and Aunt Liu and Aunt Xu sat opposite. The third lady Shen Qian sat at the end of the seat, didn't she say that the eldest lady Shen Yue was also there? Why haven't you seen anyone? As soon as Shen Nianchu entered the door, Gui's mother hurriedly greeted her and led Shen Nianchu to the small stool next to the old lady.

In the past month, Shen Nianchu came to talk to the old lady every day, and could always say some novel things to make the old lady happy, and now the old lady likes Shen Nianchu, not only let her sit beside her, but also often let Gui's mother prepare some food and tea, waiting for Shen Nianchu to come.

Aunt Xu was a little unhappy when she saw that Shen Nianchu was so favored by the old lady. But she felt that the eldest lady Guo's face was also a little bad, so she said a little mockingly: "This second lady is now a celebrity in the house, and she doesn't bow when she sees the elders, it's really a good tutor." ”

The old lady looked at Aunt Xu a little unhappily, although she thought that what she said also had some truth, the housemother and sisters were all here at this time, and she really shouldn't let Mother Gui bring her over directly. But at this time, he was already called, and he was mentioned at this time, for fear that he was saying that he was not properly disciplined. Everyone knows that this kid has been here for a long time, isn't this a side slap in the face? At this time, Aunt Xu had not yet reacted to offending the old lady, and she was secretly proud.

Shen Nianchu saw the old lady's displeasure, and hurriedly got up and walked to the center of the house, and saluted the elders according to the rules. Although the eldest lady didn't like the concubine's mouth, Shen Nianchu's behavior was indeed a little unhappy, so she didn't say anything, just nodded a little indifferently, which was considered to be in response to Shen Nianchu's greeting.

After the salute, Shen Nianchu returned to the old lady's side and sat down, the old lady chatted with everyone about family life, she is a junior, naturally it is not good to say much, just when she felt a little bored, she suddenly saw a person coming over at the door.

The visitor has a tall figure, wearing a pink dress and a gauze coat, looking a little elegant, but her behavior highlights a noble temperament, she wears a gold bracelet on her hand, jade earrings next to her ears, and a pearl necklace around her neck. The walk was light and graceful, so that everyone present was stunned.

It is the eldest daughter of the Shen Mansion, Shen Yue. The eldest lady looked at everyone's amazed expressions proudly, this is the result of spending a lot of money on her, looking at the entire Yueli Kingdom, I am afraid that no one can compare with her daughter, her purpose is not just the concubine of the prince, but wants Shen Yue to become the queen of the world.

"Yue'er has seen her grandmother." The voice is very crisp and good, Shen Nianchu has some of it, in the past, she only thought that Xue Jia was a beauty, but now it seems that Xue Jia is just average.

"Yue'er has a heart. Sit down. The old lady loves this granddaughter, but it's a pity that this child is a little arrogant, and there are many academic courses on weekdays, so she rarely comes to visit her.

Shen Qian, the third young lady who had been sitting on the side for a long time, was pulled up by her aunt and saluted: "Hello, big sister." In fact, she didn't want to do it in her heart, if it weren't for her father's partiality and only letting her eldest sister study, otherwise the title of the first beauty would definitely be her own.

Seeing that Shen Qian got up and saluted, Shen Nianchu also quickly stood up and saluted Shen Yue. Shen Yue smiled softly and said, "Two sisters, please get up, we are all sisters, and we don't need so much courtesy." If it is really a beautiful person, Shen Nianchu felt that he had fallen a little again.

Shen Yue walked to the eldest lady and sat down, and the maid on the side put a cup of tea, she took it and slowly tasted it: "Sure enough, the tea here is delicious, and it is a first-class Longjing." ”

Longjing, that's it? I've been here so many times, Shen Nianchu still doesn't know much about tea, drinking tea is like drinking water, and I have been laughed at by Aunt Xu several times before for this. The old lady smiled: "This is the tea that your father brought back a few days ago, and everyone happens to be there today, so let's just taste it." ”

"By the way, my husband found someone to spread the word today, saying that Lord Yushi invited him to dinner, and he won't come back for dinner today." The eldest lady suddenly remembered the little guy who came to talk just now.

Aunt Xu looked a little disappointed, because the general was originally going to come to her courtyard for dinner today, and it was too many to see the general once or twice a month, so she finally looked forward to coming, but the general will not come tomorrow. I put a lot of effort into this meal. That's it.

The eldest lady just likes to see Aunt Xu eat deflated, you know, since she entered the house, she has always found various reasons to let the general go to her yard, but she is just a fox embryo, and she is also worthy of grabbing favor with herself, she just wants to fight Aunt Xu's arrogance. Now her daughter is not as good as Yue'er, and she can't get grace, so I'm afraid I'll be angry.

Shen Nianchu saw all this in her eyes, and knew from the beginning of her memory that the eldest lady and Aunt Xu were not compatible, and when the eldest lady was pregnant, Aunt Xu took advantage of the weakness to enter, and used some means to lure General Shen Bai to stay in her courtyard for several days in a row.

Later, after the eldest lady gave birth, when she wanted to rectify Aunt Xu, she found that Aunt Xu was pregnant, and at the same time she was pregnant with her own mother Zhang, and the two aunts in the house were also happy, so the general exempted them from the usual etiquette and let them raise the fetus with peace of mind. Therefore, the doctor failed to dispose of Aunt Xu.

Because Zhang's gave birth ahead of schedule, she became the second lady in the house, and Aunt Xu's child became the third lady in the house. Aunt Xu also regarded Zhang as a thorn in her side and often bullied her mother. In this way, if it is for the sake of her daughter, Aunt Xu has a motive to frame her mother.

However, the eldest lady also has a motive, after all, before this incident happened, her father had always loved her mother and wanted to make her mother an equal wife, so it stands to reason that the eldest lady should also hate her mother very much.

Shen Nianchu fell into thought, the two most important people in this matter have not been found yet, and it will take a long time to find out the truth. ”

Shen Nianchu replied a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry grandmother, it was Chu'er who was distracted just now, what are you talking about?" ”

"We're talking about the beauty election, this beauty election is on the sixteenth day of the first month, and Chu'er is now fourteen, and he can also participate." The old lady said.

"Grandmother, can you not participate in this? Chu'er didn't want to go. Chu'er wants to accompany her grandmother. Shen Nianchu really didn't want to participate in these drafts, for her, marrying a stranger was already terrifying, and she had to be selected.

"You, why don't you go to such a good thing?" The old lady gently hung Shen Nianchu's nose with her hand.

"I think, the second lady is self-aware. Knowing that he has no drama, I'm afraid that if I go, I will be laughed at. Aunt Xu sneered.

"Oh, second sister, you are really, you don't know how to grasp such a good opportunity. What a waste of your identity. Besides, you should go out and see the world, otherwise how will others laugh at our General's Mansion? Shen Qian also echoed her mother, she thought that her appearance was not as good as that of the eldest sister, but it was more than enough compared to the second sister.

Oh, it's really a good mother and daughter, and you need everything to be a demon. Just when Shen Nianchu was about to go back, the eldest sister who didn't talk much on the side spoke: "Maybe the second sister just doesn't like to be lively, the second sister is also very standard, and she will never have never seen the world as the third sister said." It's the third sister, you are too careful. ”

Shen Nianchu didn't expect Shen Yue to help her speak, and her good impression of Shen Yue instantly rose a lot. Many years later, when Shen Nianchu recalled the scene at this time, he sighed that he was really stupid, and many things were only seen on the surface.

Shen Qian didn't expect Shen Yue to stand up and speak, she lost her language for a while, she originally wanted to mock Shen Nianchu, but now it makes people feel that they are very uneducated. She blushed and said, "Qian'er knows it's wrong, Qian'er shouldn't say this about the second sister, please forgive the second sister and the eldest sister." ”

I'll go, you're changing your face too quickly. Shen Nianchu said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, I don't care." The eldest lady looked at Aunt Xu with some pride, the housewife didn't speak, but you coaxed quickly, now your mother and daughter have suffered a loss, it's time to restrain in the future.

After Shen Qian sat down, everyone fell silent, and the old lady saw that everyone seemed to be in no interest, so she asked everyone to leave. Shen Nianchu took Cui'er back to their courtyard.

After dinner, Cui'er didn't know where to go, leaving only Zhilan to serve in the courtyard. Shen Nianchu didn't think much about it, and asked Zhilan to sit in the courtyard with her to watch the moon, and chatted about family life after watching the two.

"Zhilan, why were you in Wang Da's hands at that time?" I didn't have the opportunity to ask about Zhilan's background before, but now I can ask when I have time.

"The slave's family originally had four people, but because the family was too poor and the younger brother had to go to school, the mother could only sell the slave and maid to Wang Da, and the life of the younger brother and them was preserved." Zhilan said with some sadness, she is a girl, her parents don't like her very much, and after having a younger brother, they don't take her to heart.

"It seems that there are really patriarchs in all eras, but now you can rest assured, although I am not the most favored in this mansion, as long as I am here, I will protect you for a while. If one day I have a problem, then you will abandon me and run first. Keep yourself good. Shen Nianchu looked at the moon and said with a smile.

"The slave won't run away alone, please rest assured that the second lady." Zhilan thought that the second lady was testing her, so she quickly knelt down to express her heart.

Shen Nianchu picked up Zhilan and said: "I said this sincerely, I don't want you to accompany me to suffer, if it is really one day, I hope you can listen to me and protect yourself." ”

In fact, in this complex mansion, Shen Nianchu herself couldn't see people's sincerity clearly, and she was also worried that if one day she was disposed of because of something, wouldn't the two maids suffer a loss with her. Zhilan didn't understand what Shen Nianchu meant, but kept saying no, Shen Nianchu smiled and stopped talking about it.

The moon is exceptionally round tonight, so let's look forward to something good happening tomorrow.
