In the midst of the noise, the new year is coming.

No matter what happens to the Plains Hou Mansion, the New Year of the Yan Wangfu still has to be celebrated. According to the usual practice, all subordinates receive an extra month's monthly money, which is regarded as a reward from the master.

Shen Xiu naturally received it, and in addition, he also received a gift from Han Rong.

A bead hairpin is not very exquisite, but it is made by Han Rong himself.

"There's nothing for you, so that's it." Han Rong said with a smile.

Shen Xiu took it with a smile, put it on his head, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

"It's still so polite." Han Rong said with a smile.

Shen Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Where are you going to spend the Chinese New Year this year?" ”

Han Xiao is a two-bedroom family, and his parents in the Junwang Mansion have passed away, so it is natural for him to stay in the Yanwang Mansion for the New Year.

Han Rong is different, he is the eldest son of the Junwang Mansion, not a member of the Yan Wangfu. Especially the Yongshou County Mansion doesn't even have a master, so he should go back for the New Year.

"I'm definitely going to spend time in King Yan's Mansion." Han Rong said of course, with a little smug on his face, "When I think of Princess Cheng's face, I am very happy." ”

The Pingyuan Hou Mansion was about to end, and he didn't believe that Princess Cheng could deal with it calmly.

"The matter of the Plains Marquis Mansion ......," Shen Xiu said unconsciously.

When she heard the news of the death of Pingyuan Hou and Mrs. Cheng, she was really taken aback.

Although Mrs. Cheng was a little kind of her, when she was in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, she was always well fed and clothed, and she didn't have to worry about it.

"What, you're worried?" Han Rong said, his expression was a little strange.

He is a handsome young man who sees the process, and he even looks childish compared to him.

They have been together for all these years, and it is reasonable for Shen Xiu to miss the old love. It's just that his heart is really sour.

Shen Xiu immediately smiled and said, "You, this little eye is too small." Now the whole house is talking about this matter, and I ask casually, you can think so much. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm just careful, okay." Han Rong smiled and said, "Say, what do you want to know, as long as I know, I will definitely know everything." ”

Shen Xiu said with a smile: "I just said it casually, and it attracted a string of words from you." If I ask any more, I don't know what awaits me. The matter of the Hou Mansion is a big deal, and it's not good to know too much. I'd better talk to Qixia and them about gossip, it's too serious, and I still have to worry about the punishment of the princess. ”

"The princess...... Ha~~" Han Rong sneered, "I want to see how long she can be a princess." ”

Shen Xiu bowed her head and was silent, Cheng Yuanniang had been in the door for more than a month. Not to mention wooing Han Rong, he deliberately found fault with him.

It's just that Han Rong is not a soft persimmon, but he embarrassed Cheng Yuanniang.

Cheng Yuanniang pretended to be the new daughter-in-law, and made trouble with Han Xiao, but she only got one sentence, Brother Rong is a junior, you are an aunt, I don't know how to cherish the junior, but I want to trouble him.

Since then, Cheng Yuanniang has been honest, but Liang Zi has also been married. Even if Cheng Yuanniang came over to say goodbye, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to coax Han Rong.

"My parents have passed away, my title is not guaranteed, and I still want to rely on Princess Cheng, and I am not far from death." Han Rong sneered and said, "Cheng Erniang is dead, where does she have the confidence that Princess Cheng can support her." ”

If the Pingyuan Hou Mansion is good, Cheng Shaomu is young and talented, and it will be useful to Princess Cheng, Cheng Yuanniang, her niece, will naturally love her.

On the contrary, if the Pingyuan Hou Mansion falls, Cheng Yuanniang will become a helpless orphan girl. The character is not smart enough, Princess Cheng will kill her personally.

"Individuals have their own creation, it's almost the New Year, and the backyard is in chaos, so you can stop for a few days." Shen Xiu said with a smile, half persuasion, half laughter.

Han Rong is a person who listens to persuasion, at least he can listen to her words.

But it is useless to reason strongly, and it is more effective to speak like a joke as it is now.

"You've said so, do I dare not stop?" Han Rong said with a smile.

Shen Xiu smiled silently.

Han Rong was about to say more, when he heard the voice of the little maid outside the house: "Is the eldest prince in the house?" ”

"Who?" Han Rong's tone was impatient.

"Lord Shizi, please go to the outer study." The little guy said.

Han Rong reluctantly stood up and said, "This is coming." ”

Shen Xiu took the big coat and dressed it for Han Rong, and said with a smile: "There are many New Year's affairs, you should go quickly." ”

"Wait for me to eat in the evening." Han Rong said with a smile.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Then I'll let the kitchen prepare a few side dishes that you like to eat." ”

With Cheng Yuanniang's entry, the kitchen of the Shizi Mansion was finally erected. You don't have to eat with the big kitchen, everything is convenient. Give money to your mother-in-law if you want to eat, as long as you have enough money, you can eat anything.

"Okay." Han Rong said with a smile, and then turned around.

Shen Xiu watched him go out, still with a soft smile on his face.

Han Rong treats her very well, sincerely. It's just that she doesn't know how long this gentleness can last.

When the New Year comes, Han Rong is fifteen years old, even if he doesn't marry, he has to discuss marriage. If you delay it for another two years and marry at the age of seventeen, it is almost the limit.

When the time comes, the wife will enter the door......

Shen Xiuxiao's face froze, almost forcing himself not to think about it anymore. Whether it is a room or a concubine, this is all sorrow that has to be faced.

People, maybe they shouldn't be greedy, it's rare to get like this in front of you.

"Sister......

The finch came in through the back door, with a mother-in-law behind her and a burden in her arms.

Shen Xiu woke up with a smile on her face.

"Say hello to the girl." The mother-in-law said with a smile and put the burden on the table, "These two big pieces were only made by the princess of the county last year." When the girls sorted out their things, they found out and thought that the girl was dressed appropriately. ”

It is a reward for the master to give the clothes that the master cannot wear to the subordinates. Especially this time the reward is a large one, at least a hundred taels of silver. Such a reward is definitely a generous amount among the subordinates.

"Princess Xie Jun." Shen Xiu responded with a grateful face.

"The girl doesn't have to be so polite, the princess of the county said, you have her eyes, and said that when you have nothing to do, just go over and talk." The mother-in-law said with a smile, very satisfied with Shen Xiu's reaction.

The master rewards the minions, and the minions should be grateful.

Shen Xiu was moved when she heard this, and deliberately said that if she talked when she had nothing to do, it should be that the Wu family had something to say to her.

But if you really have something to say, the Wu family is the master, so you can call her over. Why bother to use the way of rewarding to let the mother-in-law say such a thing, so roundabout.

Unless it's ......

Han Rong's marriage.

"The princess likes girls, this is a blessing for girls." The mother-in-law said meaningfully.

Shen Xiu's heart was bright, but he didn't answer the conversation, just smiled and didn't say anything.

Han Rong's marriage, she can't talk about a room. The only role is to say a few good words in front of Han Rong for the candidate in the Wu family.

The two old big guns, I just want her to say this, and I can't help but look down on her.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Han Rong to get married so early. Moreover, if she really said it, it would definitely displease Han Rong.

No matter how you think about it, it's not cost-effective, and it's not appropriate to reject Wu directly, so you simply pretend to be stupid.

"The girl is a person who understands." The mother-in-law continued.

Shen Xiu bowed his head and said, "The princess of the county treats the slave and maid well, and the slave and maid will definitely remember." ”

The mother-in-law was somewhat unable to speak, Shen Xiu didn't answer, and the one-man show was not easy to sing. Moreover, Wu also explained, and he couldn't talk about it.

Han Rong's temper is big, and when she can't get his idea, she, an aunt, can't talk anymore. If it gets stiff again, the Wu family won't be able to get better.

"Then the girl is busy, I'll go back first." The mother-in-law said.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I'll send my mother." ”

Sending the mother-in-law to the back door, watching the mother-in-law leave, Shen Xiu said to Que'er: "You go to the east wing to see if Qixia is there, if she is in the house, let her come." He said that I had something good and that I would give it to her. ”

"I'll go." Finch said with a smile and turned to go.

Shen Xiu opened the burden on the table, a brocade wool cloak, and a soft wool brocade cloak, all of which were of the highest quality, and rewarding the slave and maid was indeed a reward.

Although Qixia said that the Wu family was generous, she recalled the Wu family's two awards. The jewelry rewarded last time was rewarded by Princess Cheng, and the Wu family was worried that there was something different, and it was indeed different, so he turned to reward her.

The two clothes given now have a clear purpose.

Also, no one's silver fell from the sky, so naturally it would not be given away for no reason.

"If you've got something good, let me see it." Qixia walked in with a smile.

Shen Xiu beckoned to her and said with a smile: "The princess of the county rewarded me with a big coat, I already have two pieces, thinking that you don't have one, I will give you one." ”

"Wow, you're the best." Qixia looked at the big one on the table and almost screamed.

She has wanted to have a big piece for a long time, but the master doesn't reward it, and she is reluctant to buy it.

"You pick one." Shen Xiu said with a smile.

Qixia picked up the big one, compared and compared, picked and picked, and said: "It's still your best, unlike those bullshit minions, who look down on people one by one." ”

In the past, although she had no money or power, she was always favored to have a room, and people looked up to her.

Now that the princess has entered the door, Han Xiao is going back to the backyard and entering the main room, she doesn't even have a pet in this room, and the subordinates are stepping on the high and low, so they naturally want to step on her.

"If you don't worry about them, you will win, and you won't pay you more." Shen Xiu said with a smile.

In her opinion, Qixia doesn't really love Han Xiao either. When you are favored, that is, that little bit of monthly money. fell out of favor, and the monthly money is still a lot.

Work or not, the salary is the same, as long as you can keep this salary for a long time, it doesn't matter if you are favored or disgraced.

"Hmph, who told them to step on me first." Qixia snorted coldly.

Shen Xiu persuaded her: "Okay, okay, let's pick clothes first." ”

"Then I'll want this." Qixia said, picking up the brocade fur cloak.

Shen Xiu said: "This is the princess of the county who rewarded me, don't wear it at any time, give me and yourself a lot of pleasure." ”

"Don't worry, I know." Qixia said with a smile, holding the cloak tightly in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Put it on and take a look." ”

"What you're saying is, I'll put it on and see it." Qixia said with a smile, immediately put the cloak on her body, and said: "By the way, have you heard, the princess has added another mother-in-law to her side, saying that she is from the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion." ”

"From the Plains Marquis's Mansion?" Shen Xiu was somewhat stunned for a moment.

Now that the Plains Hou Mansion is in a mess, Cheng Yuanniang suddenly has an additional mother-in-law from the Plains Hou Mansion beside her, but I am afraid that this mother-in-law is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, it's not worth it at all, get people here at this time.

"I heard that it is called Zhou Xi's family, and it is the companion room of the deceased Mrs. Cheng." Qixia said casually.

Shen Xiu's expression was subtle, and he said to himself a little: "Zhou Xi's family, that's really a coincidence." ”
