Without waiting for Manager Wang to bring Zeng Mingxia, the kitchen came first.

It was not a main meal, and there was no special table, and the dim sum side dishes were placed on the coffee table of the Luohan bed.

As soon as Yin'er helped Shen Xiu to sit down, Manager Wang came with Zeng Mingxia, and when he saw this, he retreated to the outer room.

Shen Xiu glanced at Zeng Mingxia, only to see her standing outside with her head down, still looking stupid.

If you hadn't seen what she did today, you would have thought it was an ordinary girl.

"Come and wait, too." Yin'er beckoned to Zeng Mingxia.

I have asked the chief steward Wang to bring it over, and I will definitely serve in the house in the future.

Waiting closely, serving tea, pouring water, changing clothes and dressing are all basic.

"Yes." Zeng Mingxia responded, bowing his head and approaching.

Although the person approached, he stood next to him, watching the movements of the girls, but did not get started.

After the meal was over for a while, Yin'er took the little girl to clean up the table.

Shen Xiu looked at Zeng Mingxia and said, "I heard from Manager Wang about your family, do you have anything to say?" ”

Zeng Mingxia's expression changed, and there was hatred in his tone, and he said: "My mother is not sorry for the Zeng family, it is Zeng Zeqiu, it is him, who dislikes my mother from a poor family, and cannot be a stepping stone for him to rise to the top, so he came up with a poisonous plan to drive away the four of us, mother and son." ”

"Master Zeng was born in a famous family, and he was born in Jinshi, and he is already above the clouds." Shen Xiu said.

Zeng Mingxia said: "Yes, he was born in a famous family and is a Jinshi, and he is indeed a human being, but how can people's hearts be so satisfied." Especially the younger brother Zeng Wuye, who has always looked down on him, was admitted to the Tongjinshi, but he was able to rely on the power of his mother and wife to enter the Hanlin Academy. Even his father, who has always supported him in the family, began to waver and insist on putting his son-in-law first. The pride of the sky, but he was pressed down by his younger brother who was not as talented as his younger brother, just because his younger brother had a good uncle and a good father-in-law. Especially this good father-in-law was originally his, and it was only because he refused that it was Zeng Wuye's turn. ”

She was the eldest daughter, who was six years old when she was evicted. Although I am a little ignorant, I have figured out everything after all these years.

In the beginning, she was happy, and she was born when her parents were most affectionate, even if she was a daughter, she was also favored by her parents.

But at any time, Zeng Wuye's career was open, and his father began to drink heavily, and even beat and scolded his mother when he was drunk.

He also said more than once that if he hadn't married his mother because of his greed for beauty, but obeyed his parents' orders and married a noble girl, he would have been able to enter Beijing as an official a long time ago, instead of being a petty official and not allowed to be reused.

"If you dislike your wife's room, you can get along and divorce, you can give up, you don't need to cuckold yourself." Shen Xiu said.

Zeng Mingxia sneered and said, "Whether it is harmony or divorce, it is impossible to abandon the heirs." With three oil bottles, how can a famous lady be willing to marry him. ”

This is where people's hearts are ruthless, without the oil bottle, Zeng Zeqiu has outstanding appearance, and it is much easier to marry a famous girl.

With three oil bottles, especially two sons, the son-in-law is not a son-in-law, and the concubine is not a son-in-law, how disgusting it is to marry in and be a stepmother.

And if you want to completely abandon your wife and daughter, and you don't want to be blamed by others, it can only be that the woman is unfaithful. The children born to unfaithful women were questioned about their bloodlines and driven away.

"And then?" Shen Xiu asked.

Zeng Mingxia said: "He got his wish to marry the concubine of the Ministry of Shangshu......"

"The secretary of the ministry?" Shen Xiu suddenly interrupted, "Is it the surname Nian?" ”

Zeng Mingxia was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, it is the surname year." Side concubine acquaintance? ”

Shen Xiu's face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't answer, and said, "Then are you complaining now?" ”

Of course, she knows that Nian Shangshu is an evergreen tree in the court.

He wrote the book of the Shen family back then, and he was very impressed.

"What's the use of resentment." Zeng Mingxia lowered his head, "My mother complained, complained to death, but as a result, her son died, and her daughter had to be sold into slavery." ”

Shen Xiu said: "So, you have to live." ”

"When you're dead, there's nothing." Zeng Mingxia said.

Shen Xiu nodded when she heard this, she agreed with this statement.

When it's dead, there's nothing. To be alive is to have infinite possibilities.

I don't think I think I look at Zeng Mingxia, there is no ugly girl in eighteen, young is capital, but the young Zeng Mingxia, with ordinary facial features, can only be said to be beautiful even if he is dressed up.

It stands to reason that parents are all beauties, and daughters should also be beauties.

"Alas......" Shen Xiu sighed softly.

Beauty is a weapon, sometimes more useful than wisdom.

Zeng Mingxia said: "Does the side concubine believe what I say?" ”

"Believe, why not." Shen Xiu said, and suddenly asked: "I listened to you, you are clearly organized, you should have read a book." ”

"I followed my mother and read poetry." Zeng Mingxia said.

Shen Xiu carefully looked at his expression, and between answers, he called himself me, not a slave.

The daughter in distress has infinite resentment in her heart.

It is impossible for such a person to be a slave and maid with peace of mind.

"Her deed of sale should be in the Yongshou County Lord's Mansion." Shen Xiu suddenly asked Manager Wang.

Chief Manager Wang was surprised and said, "It should be in the county king's mansion." ”

"Then I beg you to go and take my money, and redeem her." Shen Xiu commanded.

Manager Wang thought for a while and said, "What does the concubine mean, is she going to take her deed to Pinghu Qiuyue?" ”

Although Han Xiao is still the king of Yongshou County, the main mother of the Yongshou County Mansion is the Wu family. If you really want to take Zeng Mingxia as a girl, you must hold the deed in your hand.

Shen Xiu glanced at him, and said helplessly, "What are you doing in the palace, I am not the master of the palace." After getting the deed, I went to the government to give her a free body. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

Zeng Mingxia looked at Shen Xiu in surprise.

"There is no shortage of girls around me, but there is a lack of righteous sisters." Shen Xiu said, "Clean up the east wing, she will be my sister in the future." ”

Mr. Wang was so shocked that he couldn't even say anything.

I thought it would be promoted to a first-class girl, but I didn't expect to recognize the righteous sister directly, what kind of direction is this.

Zeng Mingxia knelt down and said in a firm tone: "I will serve as a side concubine." ”

Shen Xiu was waiting for this sentence and said, "Remember what you said." ”

"I will not live up to the side concubine." Zeng Mingxia said.

Shen Xiu said to Yin'er: "You take Ming Xia to clean up, and all the expenses will come out of my dowry." Now there are many things to do in the house, so don't talk too much about the outside world. ”

This righteous sister is all her personal behavior, so she naturally has to pay for it.

I only hope that Zeng Mingxia will not let her down.

"Yes." The sound responded, and the heart was also completely puzzled.

To say that it is sympathetic to Zeng Mingxia's experience, it doesn't feel like it.

Manager Wang and Yin'er were busy, and Zeng Mingxia also went to the east wing to clean up together.

Shen Xiu couldn't help but sigh softly, receiving a righteous sister is a lot of expenses, and she is not short of money.

I only hope that this move will stay, and it will really be as she wishes in the future.

In the evening, Mr. Wang and Yin'er were busy. Zeng Mingxia has recovered his freedom, and the east wing room has also been cleaned up, and all the furniture and jewelry are available.

The only thing missing is the clothes, Yin'er has asked the people of the Shangyi Bureau to measure the size, and the Shangyi Bureau is in a hurry, and it will take three days to send the first horse.

"I will never forget the grace of the promotion of the side concubine." Zeng Mingxia knelt down to thank him.

Shen Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "Since I recognize you as a righteous sister, I will be commensurate with sisters in the future, there is no need to be like this." ”

"Yes." Zeng Mingxia stood up at this time.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Although you are from a famous family, you have been a girl for all these years. I still have to invite a grandmother to come and learn the rules of etiquette. There are also piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you should also put in more effort. ”

The identity of the righteous sister is not enough to make Zeng Mingxia a real daughter.

If you don't have outstanding looks, you have to start with talent.

I believe that with Zeng Mingxia's intelligence, she will not be disappointed.

"Yes, I'm going to study hard." Zeng Mingxia said.

Shen Xiu looked at Manager Wang and asked, "Lord Shizi, haven't you come back yet?" ”

Mr. Wang shook his head, but he didn't dare to speak.

Although he went out once, he has always paid attention to the affairs of the house.

Until now, Han Xiao still hasn't returned home.

"Something really happened......" Shen Xiu couldn't help but muttered to herself.

Zeng Mingxia said suddenly: "It may not be an accident. ”

Although she is a third-class girl, she knows about the affairs of the palace.

Han Xiao should have appeared at this time, but he didn't, except that things were mixed.

From another aspect, if something happens in the mansion at this time, it will not be on Han Xiao outside the mansion.

Shen Xiu couldn't help but look at Zeng Mingxia, but Zeng Mingxia immediately shut up and stopped talking.

"Concubine Side, the prince sent the little eunuch here." The girl hurried in the door to report back.

Shen Xiu said, "Please come in." ”

After waiting for a while, the little eunuch entered the door and said, "Say hello to the side concubine." ”

"No courtesy." Shen Xiu asked, "What does the prince have to explain to me?" ”

The little eunuch said: "Aunt Luo's childbirth, the prince already knows. The side concubine was pregnant and had difficulty moving, and the prince sent the princess of the county to say goodbye. ”

"Is the prince still in school?" Shen Xiu asked.

The little eunuch said: "Yes, the pirates are attacking, and the prince has decided to send troops." In the near future, the living will be on campus, please rest for the concubine. ”

"I see." Shen Xiu said, asking, "Is the matter of piracy serious?" ”

"Slaves don't know about military affairs." The little eunuch said.

Shen Xiu didn't ask anymore and said, "I'm tired of the little adult." ”

"It's all a slave's business." The little eunuch said.

Chief Wang had already prepared, and took advantage of the situation to stuff ten taels of silver to the little eunuch, who thanked him and turned to leave.

"If the prince wants to go on an expedition, things must be prepared." Shen Xiu immediately instructed Mr. Wang, "Prepare the clothes for daily use first, don't be blind temporarily." ”

Although Han Xiao also has a place to live in the front yard, she is here when she comes to the backyard. A lot of daily clothes are also here, so be sure to prepare them in advance.

"Yes." Mr. Wang responded with his mouth, but he was very anxious in his heart, "But there is ...... in the house."

Aunt Luo's sons have been born, and at this time, the affairs of the house should be the priority.

It's the pirates, and the ministers and generals, it's not that the prince has to make a film.

Shen Xiu glanced at him and said, "The pirates have invaded the coast, the people are miserable, and the prince should put the common people first." ”
