Chapter 12: You should be filial
"Shen Ning?" Shen Qian raised her eyes and looked at the person who suddenly appeared, "Why are you here?" ”
Shen Ning hooked her lips, and a shallow smile appeared on her delicate face, "This is my yard, of course I'm here!" I should ask the second sister about this sentence. ”
Shen Qian withdrew her lips and snorted coldly, "Why, you have received so many gifts from King Dingnan, I can't come to see it?" ”
"It's okay to look at nature, it's just ...... The gifts sent by the prince are valuable, and I ask my sister to handle them with care, so as not to break them, so as not to disappoint the prince's good intentions. Shen Ning said.
"Handle with care?" The implication is that she wants her to take off the jade bracelet?
Shen Qian glanced at her and said, "Look at your poor and sour appearance, such things, there are a lot of them in my room, who is rare about you?" I'm just trying it on and seeing how it looks. ”
"The second sister is deeply favored by the eldest uncle, and there is naturally no shortage of jewelry." Shen Ning didn't refute, but said with a smile: "This pair of jade bracelets, my sister should not look down on them, Xin Lan, help the second lady take them off and record them." ”
Xin Lan nodded, "Yes." ”
Shen Qian, "You ......"
"Second Miss, please." Xin Lan respectfully.
This jade bracelet is in such good condition! I don't know how many times better than the one in her room, Shen Qian is reluctant to pick it!
"Fifth sister, my mother has never treated you badly on weekdays. The things in the West Courtyard, up and down are all dotted by my mother, you have received the favor of my mother on weekdays, this pair of bracelets, it should be a gift for you to honor the East Courtyard. ”
Shen Ning has lived two lives and has seen many despicable and shameless people.
People like Shen Qian who brazenly ask people for expensive gifts are really not seen much!
She didn't say it, Shen Ning hadn't remembered it, as soon as Shen Qian said this, she had to settle it with the Wang family!
Mrs. Shen is old, and the Wang family is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she has helped take care of the housekeeping in the early years, and over the years, the things sent to the East and South Courtyards are the best. And the west courtyard and the north courtyard were not only deducted from the moon silver, but even the things sent over were inferior goods.
These were all discovered after she married into the Dingnan Mansion in her previous life. At that time, the Wang family quibbled that there was not enough monthly silver in the house, and she was forced to do so. Moreover, she also quibbled that the things in the east courtyard were also inferior, and only those sent to the south courtyard where Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen lived were first-class goods.
Her mother, Ning, was from General Ning's mansion and practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she was not familiar with internal affairs and never cared about them. After knowing about this, she even advised Shen Ning to calm down and think about home and prosperity.
At that time, the honor and disgrace of the Ning family and the Shen family were all tied together, one was prosperous and the other was lost.
After she got married, she still had to rely on her mother's family, so she was not allowed to fall out with her uncle and aunt.
Shen Ning could only endure it.
And now......
She sneered and said, "What does the second sister mean by that?" All the expenses in the house are grandfather's property, and the eldest aunt is just in charge. How can I say that I have received the favor of my aunt? ”
"You...... You don't know how to be grateful! Shen Qian pointed at her, occupying the highest peak of morality, and said: "Although my mother is in charge, she is worried about everything, and she can't sleep day and night." And what about your West Courtyard? You people who eat white food, why are you embarrassed to say my mother? My mother has no credit and hard work, shouldn't you honor my mother? ”
