Not to mention how Mama Qian served the old lady to rest. only said that Jiang Xinyao followed the Gu family out of Guiyun Hall, and after a few thoughts, she still endured not saying anything about the letter.

Seeing that his daughter looked preoccupied, Gu Shi quipped: "But Brother Hao is naughty and tired of my daughter?" ”

Jiang Xinyao said angrily: "Isn't that it? Only pestered me all day, and it's no wonder that my daughter is not tired. ”

"It's all your favor, and now as long as you're there, even I don't want it. Angry. ”

"Who does I spoil if I don't spoil my sister? Mother is tired today, right? It's a cruise again, and it's a theater again. Father, why didn't they come back together? ”

Gu said with a smile: "It's said that it's the night banquet of the Shen Mansion, and he can't leave, what does he care about his business?" ”

Xin Yaoqi said: "Mother, I haven't heard that the third sister is outstanding, why did she win the championship?" Could it be that among these young ladies this year, there is one lazier than me? ”

Gu Shi smiled angrily: "It's hard for you to still know yourself." In order to embroider a few purses less, and make the trick of pretending to be sick, she is really a lazy girl. Brother Chen's clothes are very diligent, and I didn't see you shouting tired. I see, you're too lazy to deal with the ladies, miss. ”

Gu Shi leaned closer and whispered a few words in Xin Yao's ear.

Xin Yao suddenly realized: "I said, so that's the case. Mother, did you notice just now? The third sister's face was wrong. ”

Gu Shi said with disdain: "Ten* is the one who has taken a fancy to it." ”

Xin Yao sneered: "That Shen Li is a fragrant bun, everyone wants to take a bite." The third sister can be smart and tight. Mother, do you think this can be done? ”

Gu touched Xin Yao's head dotingly, and said: "Marriage is a big event, and it has to be the right person, and more importantly, it has to have eyes." I look at this Shen family brother coldly, his temperament is strong, and the third lady has a ...... temperament."

Gu Shi didn't say any further, and his tone changed: "I look at this matter, but I can't talk about it." I don't know what the old lady thinks? ”

Xin Yao took Gu's arm. smiled: "The old lady is afraid that she will be happy to see it." The Shen family's family is not low. Mother, don't worry about this, the two of them have never seen you in their eyes, why bother to do this thankless job? That's it. If it's not good, it doesn't have to be your fault. You, just take care of the three of us. ”

Gu patted his daughter's hand and said with a smile: "Mother is such a stupid person? Saved. Mother was just thinking, how could the old lady bypass the concubine and talk to the Shen family? ”

Xin Yao sneered: "It's nothing more than to put her in your name, and there is nothing else you can do." ”

Gu nodded and sighed: "In my opinion, the Shen family is not a good match. ”

Xin Yaoqi said: "Mother, why do you say that? ”

"Look. Ding Xingwang of the Shen family, son-in-law, grandson not to mention, son and daughter of the concubine. Grandson, granddaughter a handful. There are many people, and there are many things. Looking at a harmonious atmosphere outside, I am afraid that there will be no less intrigue inside. Look at the Shen family brother again, he has such momentum at a young age, but I'm afraid that he would rather bend than bend. In the future, you will see the people of the Shen family. Far away.

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile in her eyes: "Mother relax, my daughter and I are such a superficial person?" ”

Gu nodded and said, "I understand." Let's go quickly, Brother Hao doesn't know what's going on? ”

……

At night, Jiang Xinyao turned over with the quilt and rolled over, thinking about the inexplicable letter in her heart. Unable to fall asleep.

I am in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and I can only be beaten alive.

Jiang Xinyao put on her clothes and got up, wanting to light the lamp, but she was afraid of waking up the warbler outside. I had to get out of bed in the dark.

Gently pushed open the window, the night was cool, the courtyard was deep, and a waning moon hung in the air, for no reason, Xin Yao calmed down. I vaguely remember that when she was in the old house, it was also a quiet night, she stood motionless in front of the window like this, remembering life and waking up, watching the ups and downs of life, is there a deeper loneliness and difficulty than then?

Jiang Xinyao smiled.

Those who have passed through hell and re-entered the world have nothing to fear and nothing to give up.

Since there are so many things that are not in your own hands, what good will it do to live tomorrow with today's tossing and turning, worrying? It's better to wait for the arrangement of fate with peace of mind, whether it is sunshine or wind and rain, it will always be known, but it is just the flavor of life.

Besides, she has no grievances with that Shen Li, far from hatred, and she Jiang Xinyao has never killed people and set fires, and she has been a traitor, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?

Jiang Xinyao settled down, closed the window, and had a good night's sleep.

The warbler in the outer room was just like the winter plum back then, listening to the movement in the lady's room, and after a long time, she saw that there was no sound in the room, and then she fell asleep.

……

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the Jiang family was still calm.

The money shopkeeper sent a word of mouth that the whole master's people were in danger, and they were already on the way back, and they would definitely return to Suzhou Mansion in two months.

Jiang Xinyao got the news, her whole body was comfortable, and her hanging heart finally settled down. Please be safe as usual, take care of the shop, take care of Brother Hao, study new dishes, and be very busy, and Shen Li, who was connected to the letter, has long been forgotten by her.

The old lady has quietly done two things these days, the first of which is to invite the patriarch of the Jiang clan to open an ancestral hall and record Jiang Xinshan in the name of the Gu family. The second is to take out the private house and quietly send someone to the capital to buy a Zhuangzi and a dowry shop for the third lady.

The old lady thought she had done it seamlessly, how did she know all this, and she didn't hide it from the bright-eyed people in the house.

Over the years that the Gu family has been in charge, more or less some people in the house have secretly taken refuge in her for the future. So she was the first to know.

After Gu Shi found out, she didn't even raise her eyelids and lived her life as usual.

After Chen found out, he was so angry that he couldn't eat well for several days and couldn't sleep.

The old lady was too eccentric. When the eldest lady and the second lady got married, the old lady only took out 5,000 taels of private house as the money for pressing the box, and the Zhuangzi and the shop were all public money. Now that the third lady of a concubine has not yet been decided, the old lady is in a hurry to make up for the dowry, and then let the third lady of the public middle school get her share. This is only on the surface, and in private, I don't know how much dowry money was given.

Chen's heart said that the old lady's behavior is tantamount to treating everyone in the big house as fools, can she really hide from the world and make people unaware?

I can't get angry at my own man about this matter, thinking of Gu Shi to provoke a few words, Gu Shi is useless again. A breath of evil qi blocked Chen's chest, and it was difficult to swallow it even if he wanted to. had to use the feeling of discomfort as an excuse to call several concubines of the second master to come forward, and tossed vigorously for a few days.

Aunt Du naturally knew what was on the mind of the second wife, thinking about the days when her daughter was grounded for half a year before she got married, she was trapped in the courtyard every day, copying Buddhist scriptures, and she hated Aunt Zhou's mother and daughter to death. Aunt Du saw the opportunity, and in front of the second wife, she couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.

Chen's heart was even more angry, and he didn't want to see Zhou's mother and daughter more and more.

On the day Shen got the news, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he hurriedly returned to Shen's mansion and had a secret conversation with his mother in the room for a long time.

After the daughter left, Liu thought about it again and again, and called the man who was supposed to rest at his aunt's place to his room that night.

On the second day, Shen Jie went to the yamen and went around the old man's room, as for what the father and son said, no one knew.

……

After Shen Li sent the letter during the Dragon Boat Festival, he sent his personal servant Wang Le to wander around the gate of the Shen Mansion if he had nothing to do. He guessed that with the cleverness of the fourth miss, he would definitely be able to guess that this letter was from him, and for the sake of Jinjue Pavilion, the fourth miss would definitely take the initiative to contact him.

Unexpectedly, Wang Le wandered around for a month, except for Miss Gu, not to mention the people of the Jiang Mansion, and even the ghosts of the Jiang Mansion did not meet a single one.

Young Master Shen waited for a month, and when he saw that the letter stone was sinking into the sea, he was so angry that he practiced all night. For a few days, he had a cold face, and it was not pleasing to anyone, even when he saw Old Lady Shen, he didn't have a good face, and he had a few waiting subordinates in a row. When the people of the Shen Mansion saw that the living ancestor was in a bad mood, no one dared to come forward to find it, so they only took a detour from a distance.

Shen Ping watched coldly, inquired about the cause and effect, and didn't say much, and braked quietly. When the old man was thinking about himself, he suddenly heard that the second son said that the Jiang family had the heart to give the third lady to Brother Li as his wife. For this reason, Mrs. Zhou has already recorded the third miss in the name of her mother-in-law.

Although the old man was not ashamed of the old lady's behavior of hiding her ears and stealing the bell, after thinking deeply, he still sent someone to carefully probe the details of Miss Jiang San. It didn't matter if he made this inquiry, it made the old man angry.

Damn, where is this wife?

It's clearly looking for a stirrger.

The old man came over in the wind and waves, how could he not understand the twists and turns here. Before the Jiang family publicly mentioned this matter, the old man just didn't know about it, he wanted to see how Mrs. Zhou opened this mouth?

A concubine born to an aunt wants to marry his most proud grandson, isn't this a slap in the face of Shen Fu? If this third lady is knowledgeable and courteous, it would be fine if she was gentle and demure, but she was a pampered and ruthless person. He, Shen Ping, is not old enough to marry a scourge and enter the Shen family.

Old lady Shen took a long breath, picked up the pen and wrote four big characters on the paper in one go: "The door is right." ”

……

On this day, the eldest grandmother Shen Ying had just put Sister Lan to sleep, and the maid from Guiyuntang came to pass it, and the old lady asked the eldest grandmother to speak.

Shen Ying went back to her parents' house since that day, and always beware of the old lady opening her mouth, except for asking for peace, she went to Guiyuntang for nothing. The old lady hinted again and again, but only pretended not to know.

In Shen Ying's opinion, the third sister is allowed to marry her cousin, not to mention that her grandfather does not agree, and she will not agree if she is replaced.

Who is Shen Li? People are called living ancestors, and if one is not happy, his grandfather can't help him. Who is the third sister? The Lord who lies without blinking. Shen Yingke has never forgotten why her second sister was banned for half a year before she got married.

If these two people live together, not to mention that the Shen Mansion is in trouble and the personnel are restless, it is that she is in the Jiang Mansion, and she will not want to have a good life in the future.

Shen Ying secretly typed the manuscript and took Mingyue to the old lady's room. (..)
