Chapter Fifty-Eight: Husband and Wife Make Their Own Calculations
The twilight was deep, the tung oil lamps and sheepskin lanterns were staggered, the halo was soft, and the room was warm and quiet, and only the sound of two people chewing food remained in the Cixuan Hall.
However, they are obviously an old husband and wife, but they have their own calculations.
After a while, Old Marquis Shen said: "Since it's all for the sake of the granddaughters, please invite it if you want!" Just be careful. ”
"It's nature." Old Yang was busy, her thin willow eyebrows stretched, obviously she was in a very good mood. After a while, she said cautiously: "Qiu Tong and Qiu Mei are not worried, but Qiu Tan is there......"
"How is Qiu Tan there?" The old marquis asked rhetorically.
"This ...... The concubine is a grandmother, she can't scold or beat, she can't even say hello to my wife on weekdays, I haven't taught me a lesson, so she ran to the Hou Ye to complain, I am her grandmother, can I still harm her? ”
Old Marquis Shen remembered that Shen Qiutan had no clothes to wear before, and ran to him to complain, and his face was a little sneering.
Lao Yang knew that the old marquis's heart had relaxed, so he made persistent efforts: "I am also for their good, with Qiu Tan's fiery temper, even if I marry in the future, it will not be a good marriage, I am afraid that it will be a feud." ”
She sneered in her heart, she didn't know what the little hoof used to make this old man obedient to her, now that she thinks about it, I'm afraid she is on the list outside, but even if she is on the list, if she can help her collect her temperament and let her know the good of her mother's family, I am afraid that this old thing in front of her will be more willing.
"You are Jiuniang's grandmother, you can just watch the affairs of the inner courtyard."
Lao Yang's words really hit his heart, Qiu Tan's girl's temperament is really jumpy, originally nothing in Jibei, but it was different when he returned to the capital. If she can make her heart towards her mother's family, it means that she will really climb the eldest princess's mansion in the future, and she will not have to be afraid.
The most important thing is to ask the grandmother from the palace to teach the rules, these granddaughters are also gold-plated, and it will be cheaper to find their in-laws in the future. These few in the family, except for Qiu Tan, the rest can be married.
His eyes deepened, these granddaughters who were waiting to be sold at a price had to be controlled, and they had a good future.
With the right words, Lao Yang's heart was settled.
Originally, I should have given the two little beasts in the third room some colors to see, but who knew that the little girl was in the limelight at the Spring Festival banquet again. Every time she looked at the post given to Shen Qiutan alone, she became angry, and this breath has been held back until now, which can be regarded as an outlet.
The old couple happily reached an agreement, and this night, Old Marquis Shen also stayed in Cixuan Hall unusually.
…………
Lin Fuzi pointed at Shen Qiutan's words with a smile in his eyebrows, his expression was a little satisfied, and there was a little estimate.
This Shen Jiu girl does have a bit of intelligence, and the words she has taught can be said to be unforgettable, she still remembers that when she first arrived at the Shen family, this girl can't even hold a pen, but now she has written like a similar one, although there is no wind and bones at all, but it is horizontal and vertical, so that people can see clearly.
Shen Qiutan's progress can be described as a rapid progress.
There was a child's laughter next door, the corners of Shen Qiutan's mouth bent, but the pen did not stop, and Lin Fuzi couldn't help but look sideways at the west chamber.
I heard that this Shen Jiu girl was very stupid when she was young, and she couldn't even say a word when she was almost five years old, but Master Lin didn't believe it. She felt that Shen Qiutan had a very good idea in her heart, and her younger brother said that he would bring it himself, and when he said that he could read and write, he would read and read, and he was very strict with himself, and he never slacked off.
However, such a person is not easy to approach......
The red bean brought the snack and refilled the tea, and Lin Fuzi stopped in reverie.
Originally, she only needed to stay in the Shen family for two hours a day, but now she herself extended the time to two and a half hours, and did not mention anything about restraint.
Shen Qiutan knew that this was her own showmanship at the spring banquet of the eldest princess of Longqing, and the value of this Lin Fuzi rose with the tide, and it was her reward for delaying her time. Of course, I will not refuse such a good thing.
After bidding farewell to Master Lin, Hongdou stepped forward and rubbed Shen Qiutan's arm diligently.
The day before yesterday, Steward Qiao sent in two maids through the hands of Old Marquis Shen, and the nine girls gave the names Mu Xiang and Bai Zhi respectively. The name of Muxiang is good, but she has a big waist and a round waist, and she is as burly as a tall and strong man, but she is only a second-class maid, and she does not have much sense of crisis in herself, but Bai Zhi is white and clean, ingenious, and she is a first-class girl like herself, which is very uncomfortable.
Hongdou served more and more diligently, Shen Qiutan saw it in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
These days, she has already found out, hawthorn is a four-room person, the fourth aunt has presided over the feed over the years is very fat to marry, hawthorn is one of her companion daughters, of course, the young girl is always arrogant, but also developed hawthorn is not so clever temperament.
After all, he is here, he has to be inserted by others, and there will be too many people who are uneasy to insert, so Shen Qiutan left hawthorn and became a second-class maid with Mu Xiang.
As for Wu'er, now she has a new name, called Almond, and she and another maid, Liangjiang, have become the people next to Shen Changzhen.
These six people, plus the small melons and side dishes that do chores and gatekeepers, as well as the nurse peach blossom and a doorkeeper Hu Pozi, the entire agarwood house is also fully equipped.
On this day, Shen Qiutan learned calligraphy, and secretly learned a few tricks from Mu Xiang, and then heard Hawthorn come to report, saying that the old lady was invited.
Shen Qiutan was a little stunned, these days she almost doesn't go out of the door, she can deal less with the old lady, the old lady didn't say anything, today suddenly called herself over, could it be something?
When she packed up and arrived at Cixuan Hall, she found that Shen Qiumei and Shen Qiutong had already arrived.
As soon as Shen Qiutan saw one of them, she felt that there seemed to be a cold look at herself, she got up and looked up, it was not difficult to find that there was a forty or fifty-year-old mother-in-law behind the old Yang family, she was wearing a brocade gown with royal blue longevity patterns, medium in size, fat and thin, white but not much kindness, looking at the low eyebrows, looking at her eyes with a little fierceness in the cold.
The eyes are very raw, and they don't look like a good person.
Lao Yang took the mother-in-law's hand, smiled and introduced to several granddaughters: "This is Mama Wu, but she came out of the palace, and I gave up my old face to invite Mama Wu to my house, and she will teach you the rules in the future." Looking at a few late autumn sandals with different expressions and defensive faces, Lao Yang's smile couldn't help but deepen: "There is a way that there are no rules and no circles, you are getting older, you should also learn and be sensible." ”
How can it be so easy to learn the rules, not to mention that it is still a grandmother from the palace, it must be strict, but Shen Qiumei and Shen Qiutong are a little happy, if they learn the rules well, the more capital they can find a good mother-in-law.
The two respectfully saluted that Mama Wu, and Shen Qiutan also followed the two, but in their hearts they felt that things were not so simple.
But she didn't know, no matter how precautionary she was, she still thought too simply.
