Chapter 19: Temptation

Anna lined up the residence of Zhiyuan's family, the old lady's stay Zhiyuan dined, put on the screen, the female dependents and the three brothers of Zhiyuan could not sit at the same table, the three brothers sat in front of the old lady, according to the order, Zhiyuan was in the upper position, and it was natural to occupy the position of Zhicheng in the ordinary time, Zhiyuan had no sense of humility, so that the old lady and Zhicheng had the urge to vomit blood, and secretly admired Zhiyuan's thick skin.

No matter how dissatisfied Zhicheng is, he can't find fault with Zhiyuan, the eldest brother is like a father, he is raised as a son-in-law, but he is not a serious son-in-law.

The old lady was in an unhappy mood and sank this face, Zhiyuan didn't seem to see it, he was more interested in the dishes, he ate very often, he hadn't eaten such authentic Beijing dishes for many years, Zhiyuan missed it tightly, fortunately, Zhiyuan had raised an official authority for many years and maintained the etiquette of eating, the old lady squinted at Zhiyuan, this foodie, the old lady didn't know the taste, and couldn't guess whether Zhiyuan liked to eat, or deliberately angry with her, it seemed that after returning home from Zhiyuan's family, the old lady had never been happy, no wonder they didn't agree according to the fortune teller, and Zhiyuan hit the old lady and made a conflict.

The old lady grew up in Baylor Mansion since she was a child, and after marrying into the Duke's Palace, because of her high birth, she did not set rules in front of her mother-in-law, in fact, she had no chance to make rules if she wanted to.

The old ancestor died suddenly, after the separation of the family, the old lady became the home of the Duke's Palace, she was in charge of everything, and the days were smooth, although the old man inherited his father's lust, but after all, he was frightened by the black smoke miasma of the inner house when the ancestor was alive, and was shocked by the old ancestor's death after the death, the old man no longer dared to divide the wife and concubine, the wife is the wife, and the concubine has to be more favored than the wife, thanks to his wife's help, the old lady is still more important, only Zhiyuan's biological mother is an exception to the identity of the fan, The old lady has never seen this mysterious woman with all her might, except for this incident, the old lady can be said to have a smooth life, and there is no need for house fights at all.

Then there is a regret that the old lady gave birth to two daughters, no sons-in-law, but fortunately Manchuria is not taboo these, she raised Zhicheng by her side, and then raised Zhicheng's sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her own is no different, the eldest daughter married into Prince An's mansion, although it is a concubine Fujin, but it is a palace, the status of the old lady has not been affected too much, the youngest daughter has been pampered since she was a child, and she was expecting to marry a high marriage after the draft, who knew that the youngest daughter was taught to be too poetic, and finally chose such a son-in-law, fortunately, she gave birth to a sensible and brilliant Li Zhiqing, Otherwise, the old lady would not have taken their mother and daughter back to their side and raised them carefully, and the youngest daughter Shu Mulu Jinse made the old lady very shameless.

"E-niang, please use it." As a daughter-in-law, she naturally has to dine in front of the old lady, the old lady was annoyed by Zhiyuan, so she embarrassed the Guerjia family, let the rest of the daughters-in-law eat, and let the Guerjia family serve alone, Guerjia responded with a smile, she knew what the old lady liked to eat, but she put the old lady in front of her, looked at the old lady sincerely, and signaled her to eat quickly, this dish is very good.

Shu Yao looked through the thin screen and saw Eniang standing beside the old lady, the corners of her mouth rose, Shu Yao sighed, there are not many people who can let Eniang serve, old lady, you ask for more blessings, Eniang's methods will make you bitter and unspeakable.

The old lady hesitated, and Guarjia said in a low voice: "E-niang doesn't like it? My daughter-in-law has been living in Huizhou, and I can't figure out your preferences, and my daughter-in-law is at fault, but my daughter-in-law thinks that this dish is good for your body, clearing heat and detoxifying, and eliminating fire. ”

"Don't talk during meals, you don't understand this rule?" When the old lady heard the words of extinguishing the fire, the more angry she became, no matter how she heard that the Guerjia clan was not like a plea, she slapped the table with a bang, thinking that she had grasped the mistake of the Guarjia clan, and planned to reprimand the Guerjia clan for being angry.

Zhiyuan saw that his daughter-in-law was going to be reprimanded, and said first: "E-niang, she is well-intentioned, not unruly, how can I explain the details to you, indiscriminately angry, not the duchess's style, E-niang is excellent, she will not embarrass her daughter-in-law like an ignorant foolish woman who is illiterate." Eating more bitter gourd is to extinguish the fire, it is a family meal, although it is said that it is food without words, but our brothers gather around you, it is not easy, it is too quiet and it seems to be raw. ”

Zhiyuan got up and raised the wine glass, and solemnly raised it to the old lady, "My son has been away from Beijing for more than ten years, and I miss Eniang very much. Then Zhiyuan thanked Zhicheng Zhihao, thanking them for being filial to the old lady and the old lady on behalf of him, and he spoke very brightly and reasonably, but the old lady listened to it very internally, and the old lady looked at the sincere and filial Zhiyuan, and drank the wine, unusually aggrieved, thinking about how to toss the Guerjia family in the future.

Shu Yao's brows tightened, and then relaxed, she actually felt the old lady's thoughts again? Embarrass your daughter-in-law? Shu Yao can't tell whether her perception is right or wrong, aren't all the bad mothers-in-law and stepmothers who embarrass her daughter-in-law?

"Sixth sister." Li Zhiqing has always been very concerned about Shu Yao, "Don't you need tea?" ”

Shu Yao took the tea cup handed over by Li Zhiqing, and their fingertips touched, the two of them felt a tingle like an electric current at the same time, and a burst of miscellaneous thoughts that did not belong to Shu Yao came up, Shu Yao covered her forehead, Li Zhiqing withdrew her fingers, and the girls around all paid attention to the old lady, taking advantage of Shu Yao's just returning to Beijing and not in front of the Guerjia clan, Li Zhiqing could talk about things, and asked quietly: "Has the sixth sister heard of Dream of Red Mansions?" ”

Shu Yao shook her head and looked confused: "I don't know, I don't know the surname Hong." ”

Li Zhiqing opened her mouth, could it be that she was thinking too much? Shu Yao doesn't seem to be pretending, Li Zhiqing has developed a unique ability to see people, and she can see the authenticity and preference from her eyes, even in the face of the famous Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang in history, she can see one or two, from Shu Yao's eyes, she really can't see that she has heard of Dream of Red Mansions, not Shu Yao, could it be Guerjia's family? After Li Zhiqing saw her second uncle's family today, she always had a sense of disobedience, and chuckled: "It's because I remember badly, it's normal that the sixth sister doesn't know each other." ”

"Well, this guy has a weird name."

Shu Yao really doesn't know Dream of Red Mansions, science student, as a science student who is tired to death and has no entertainment activities, she may know about Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, but Hong Liu Meng or something, even if she hears it, she won't remember it in her mind, and she forgot it in an instant, the more Shu Yao got Li Zhiqing's thoughts in Zhengli, the more she thought about it, the more confused she felt, and the more she doubted that the abilities she got were not useful, Li Zhiqing's idea was really strange, if she didn't become a queen, she would be the queen mother? Queen Mother, aren't they all promoted by the queen?

is also too much use of the old lady, according to Shu Yao's observation, Li Zhiqing is very good and filial to the old lady, plus Shu Yao perceives Li Zhiqing's magical space, Shu Yao, who is full of envy, thinks of her own poor space, and resolutely thinks that there is a problem with her ability, absolutely and absolutely wrong, she doesn't believe that Li Zhiqing's space can be planted with anything, and she doesn't have to think about upgrading the problem of planting radishes.
