Chapter 8: The Concubine
In Qingzhi Garden, Cui's woke up, his eyes turned around in the room, and he didn't see his little daughter, and he was suddenly a little lonely.
"Mother woke up? Need some water? Shen Yunjin was standing aside, and there was a girl who was older than her sitting next to her, and when she heard her say this, she immediately got up and went to the table and poured a glass of warm water.
and his aunt went to the bedside, helped Cui Shi to get up, Shen Yunjin took the cup from the girl's hand, and fed Cui Shi a few sips of water.
Before Shen Yunjin could speak again, a jade voice came from outside, saying that Shen Yunlan was here.
Cui's eyes suddenly showed brilliance, and although Shen Yunjin was surprised, he still gave an order and asked Jade to invite Shen Yunlan into the room.
"Mother is awake?" As soon as Shen Yunlan came in, he saw Cui Shi sitting up, and couldn't help but be happy and leaned to the bed.
Seeing her little daughter, Cui's eyes brightened, she stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch Shen Yunlan's face, but she thought of something again, and immediately hesitated.
Shen Yunlan took her hand and put it on his face, and for a while, his nose was a little sour.
It turned out that the mother's hand on her face was such a feeling, which he had never experienced in his previous life.
A smile appeared on Cui's face, she caressed her little daughter's face, and asked her a few words gently.
"Don't worry, my daughter has eaten. Just now, the third aunt sent someone and told me to go to Qingfeng Garden to eat. ”
Speaking of Qingfeng Yuan, Shen Yunlan thought of the fact that he deliberately disgusted the Zheng family and Zheng Yuanbao. Because of this, she remembered something that she felt was most important.
"Mother, there is something I want to discuss with you." Squatting on the edge of the bed with numb feet, she simply sat on the edge of the bed and discussed with Cui's.
The youngest daughter has been in Zhuangzi for eight years and has just come back, not to mention one thing, no matter how many things, Cui's will agree.
Shen Yunjin stood aside, and the slightly older girl from before was also standing beside her, she was looking at Shen Yunlan, but Shen Yunlan was talking to Cui's, so she didn't notice her.
"In the past, my daughter was in Zhuangzi, although I asked my husband to teach, but my daughter was naughty and made the gentlemen angry, and she didn't learn the rules well. Fang was in Qingfeng Garden, and it was inevitable that he would speak openly, but he was afraid that he would make the third aunt unhappy. ”
Now that she has returned home, her daughter wants to learn the rules and read well. lest we go out in the future and ruin the reputation of our family. ”
In the last life, she was sent to Zhuangzi shortly after she was born, and as she grew up, the Shen family invited her husband over to teach her to read and write.
However, after all, she grew up in Zhuangzi, and most of the people she usually comes into contact with are Zhuanghu families, plus there are few good people around her, and she refuses to read and write well, and the gentlemen who invited her are all angry with her.
After a few times, the Shen family did not send Mr. over.
When she returned to the Shen Mansion at the age of twelve, Sister Ah arranged for someone to teach her the rules. But at that time, her mother was seriously ill, and she was close to the Zheng family, and she was instigated by her to refuse to learn the rules well.
At that time, she was also famous in Shangdu, but not a good name. After his mother passed away, he kept filial piety for three years and was calculated, and finally fulfilled Zheng's mind and married into the Zheng family.
The days that followed were like living in hell.
Although he was reborn, he was already eight years old, and his husband had been angry for several times.
I suffered a loss in my previous life, but now I can't eat it anymore.
"You want to read and write, you want to learn the rules, this is a good thing, my mother is very happy. You can rest assured, my mother will make arrangements for it. ”
Shen Yunlan ran away with several gentlemen in Zhuangzi, but Cui's still knew.
Originally, I thought that even if the girl's family didn't read much, it would be nothing. But now, since she took the initiative herself, Cui Shi was of course very happy.
Not only her, but Shen Yunjin, who was standing on the side, was also extremely surprised and happy.
"Thank you, mother." Shen Yunlan stretched out his hand and hugged Cui's family, Cui's became more and more happy, and he reached out to touch Shen Yunlan's hair.
Because his health is not very good, Cui's often drinks medicine, with a faint smell of medicine.
Thinking of the early death of the Cui family in the previous life, Shen Yunlan hurriedly left her arms, "Mother, shouldn't you drink medicine?" ”
She was reborn, not only to change her own fate, but also to make her mother and sisters live better than in her previous life.
Other things can be put aside for the time being, and the top priority is to take care of the mother's body.
"Eat first, then drink the medicine." When her mother was talking to her sister, Shen Yunjin had already ordered her to go down.
Hearing Shen Yunlan ask, she responded with a smile. When Shen Yunlan turned his head, Shen Yunjin stepped forward and grabbed her hand and asked her to stand up, "Yunlan, this is your second sister." She is Aunt Qin's child, named Shen Yunjie, two years older than us. ”
Among the three rooms of the Shen family, there are the most children in the second room, including concubines and concubines.
Not only that, but the concubine and the concubine are older than the concubine.
In the family, even if there will be concubines, they have always been allowed to give birth only after the main wife gives birth to a son-in-law.
If the concubine gives birth to the eldest son before the main wife, not only will she have no face for the Yue family, but her own family will also be disgraced.
There will be such a situation in the second room, which is also a long story.
When Cui's married Shen Xu, the couple was also honey and very affectionate.
It's a pity that after three years of marriage, Cui's never gave birth to a child.
At first, if the matter of concubines was mentioned, Shen Xu also spoke righteously, saying that the Cui family of the Yue family, men can only take concubines when they are thirty-five years old and have no children, and if they marry a girl from the Cui family, they should learn the style of the Cui family.
Cui Shi was naturally moved, but year after year, the old lady became more and more dissatisfied with her, and often deliberately made things difficult.
In the end, the Cui family made the decision, and the Qin family, who arranged for the family, made a room for Shen Xu.
But before the Qin family was pregnant with a child, the Zheng family came to the door and said that his sister was pregnant with Shen Xu's child.
Such news is like a bolt from the blue.
Although Shen Pei went out, in the end, it was the old lady's own birth, she was ashamed of Shen Pei, and she was very good to the Zheng family.
Knowing that her sister was pregnant with her son's flesh and blood, not only did she let Xiao Zheng into the mansion, but also made the decision to open her face and become Shen Xu's concubine when she had never given birth to a child.
A few months later, Xiao Zheng gave birth to his eldest son, and the next year, the Qin family also gave birth to Shen Yunjie.
"Yunlan? Yunlan? Seeing Shen Yunlan distracted, Shen Yunjin stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
"Second sister is good." Shen Yunlan instantly came back to his senses and saluted Shen Yunjie.
"Hello Sixth Sister." Shen Yunjie returned the gift, originally she prepared a gift for Shen Yunlan, but she didn't expect to see her here, so she didn't bring it, she smiled apologetically and explained a few words.
"I'm very happy to be able to go back home and see my sisters, it doesn't matter what gifts are not gifts!" Shen Yunlan waved his hand, not caring at all.
The gilded tourmaline bracelet that she had worn at night had been taken off as early as when she was sleeping.
Cui Shi leaned on the bed, watching her daughters chatter, and the smile on her face deepened......
