Chapter Ninety-Six: Family Affairs
Uncle, whatever, he's a brute! Don't mention him to me again, or I'll sell you out!" β
Sheng Mingzhu was also angry in the past, she belongs to the kind of hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. Jin Zhi figured out her temperament, and she was not afraid in her heart, but she was a little entangled - not to mention that the wood was already in the boat, what kind of person Guan Ping was, but who didn't know from the capital, the third lady of her family was good with others, and now she wants to find someone else, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
Jin Zhi remembered in his heart that when the winter hunt came out before, these two people had already had a clue in the past. Yesterday, my own young lady walked with the son of the Liu family, and the governor of the capital could not compare to the son of the Liu family - the only age fell up and down, and it was probably the young lady who was greedy for freshness.
Thinking of this, Jin Zhi didn't speak, and when the sedan chair was about to arrive at the door, he saw that his young lady's anger seemed to have disappeared by half, and then he comforted, "Although Jin Zhi is not a person who has come over, when he used to serve the old lady, he always heard people say that if he is looking for a husband, he will find an older one, and it will hurt people." β
Sheng Mingzhu entered the house, because she didn't return to the house all night last night, the Ruan family had already sent someone to wait at the door of the house, and was about to catch the thief and take the stolen goods.
As soon as he came back, he was noisy, and Sheng Mingzhu didn't pay attention to Jin Zhi's words.
"Where were you last night?" Nguyen wore a dark purple dress and luxurious jewelry. Sheng Feifei stood behind her, maybe because she was getting married, she was dressed more plain than before, but she was more and more exquisite, "What else can I do, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, I told my grandmother a long time ago, no matter what kind of person can enter the door of our Shengguo Mansion, a mouse poop can break a seedling person." β
Sheng Mingzhu frowned slightly, and Ruan Shi looked at the golden branch behind her.
Now that the third room of the Sheng family is about to fall, the appearance of the Ruan family's previous kindness is gone. Not for a long time, Sheng Mingzhu also knows her temperament, and now if Sanfang has no hope, before sending them back to Bingzhou, I am afraid that the Ruan family still wants to pick up a layer of oil here.
"I chose you to serve the master, but I didn't expect you to be so profligate, and provoked the master not to return home at night and have a private meeting with others", and looked at the cuizhu beside him, "Take it to the housekeeper for a while, and sell it tomorrow." β
"Who dare?" Sheng Mingzhu walked in front of Jin Zhi, Ruan Shi and Sheng Feifei only cared about finding faults, and didn't notice her. Now that she stepped forward, she realized that the clothes on her body were also different from those she had gone out yesterday. Sheng Feifei felt that she had pinched something, and she wanted to speak, but she was slightly stunned - without it, this material is really beautiful.
Women's families always can't take their eyes off things like clothing and jewelry.
"I got lost when I went home last night, and I happened to arrive at the Princess Changning Mansion, the princess was kind-hearted, and she was afraid that I would be in danger of going back alone late, so she left me to stay overnight." After that, he looked at Ruan Shi again, "Uncle, you just want to take people for guilt, and you have to catch thieves and take stolen goods, right?" The second sister's words are also right, a mouse feces broke a seedling man, but I still remember that a few days ago, in the backyard of our house, I looked at a pair of wild mandarin ducks with a golden branchββ"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sheng Feifei's face turned red, and she immediately interrupted Sheng Mingzhu's unfinished words. But after interrupting, she suddenly regretted that Sheng Mingzhu didn't say anyone, she jumped up like this, as if she was talking about herself.
Ruan Shi said, "Princess Changning has not been out of the princess's mansion for a long time, how can she recognize you as a junior." Having said that, she was a little smacked when she saw Sheng Mingzhu's clothes, which was very rare. When he was only married, he saw the eldest princess pass through, and the streets were full of dowries for the princess.
She was dressed in colorful clothes, and her originally slightly heroic appearance was also softened by this colorful clothes, like a beautiful woman out of the water. I know in my heart how rare this material is, even if I take real money to exchange it, I may not be able to exchange it, the Shengguo Mansion is not deep, there are only three generations in total, naturally there is no such good thing - really went to Princess Changning's Mansion?
Thinking of this, Ruan Shi was a little unwilling - all the good things in the past were stained with Sanfang, but now Sanfang is about to fall, how can he still have good things.
Sheng Mingzhu looked at Ruan's family, "Today I came back in the palanquin of the princess's mansion, if the uncle doesn't believe it, go out and take a look." He looked at Sheng Feifei to the side, "I've heard a sentence before, what kind of self I am, I always want others to be like that-"
The Ruan family had already taken someone out to see, so Sheng Mingzhu said to Jin Zhi, "Go back to the room." β
Jin Zhi lowered his head, and the two of them quickly arrived in the room. Sheng Mingzhu kept frowning deeply when he walked back to the room - the so-called power, Guan Ping is powerful, so he can choose the person he likes. My father is now in prison, so Ruan Shi insulted himself like this and went all the way to the room.
Huang's mother was holding a bowl of decoction and medicine, and when she saw Sheng Mingzhu coming back, she immediately stepped forward and made a silent gesture.
whispered in her ear again, "Your aunt just woke up, I don't know why you didn't come back yesterday?" β
Sheng Mingzhu was looking at how to explain to her mother, and when she heard Huang's mother say this, she immediately glanced at her gratefully. Huang's mother looked at her dissatisfied, "Now that your mother is not in good health, and there is such a thing in the house, I didn't dare to tell her about it, you were last night-" Speaking of this, she suddenly heard movement in Yun Niang's room, and hurriedly took the medicine in her hand in.
Sheng Mingzhu also followed, and Yun Niang had already sat up on the soft pillow handed over by Huang's mother, and her eyebrows added a lot of sorrow, Yun Niang beckoned to her daughter, Sheng Mingzhu came over and snuggled up to her, her mother's eyes were always soft when she looked at her daughter, "Nan, although I was unconscious last night, I thought a lot, if there is really no turning point after ten days, I will take you and Lingzhu back to Bingzhouββ"
"Mother, don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."
Sheng Mingzhu comforted, but Yun Niang shook her head, "I just heard from someone that your aunt is looking for trouble for you again" She frowned, "Although this Shengguo Mansion is big, but your aunt is really greedy, and if I don't have your father, I am just a concubine, and she has to pay back the marriage, I am just afraid that she will find you a bad marriage in the future - the heart of defense is indispensable." β
Sheng Mingzhu knew that she was all for herself, so she only comforted, "There are still some days when my grandfather has already entered the palace to intercede with my father." My grandfather was the founding father, and His Majesty would always look at his face. β
Yun Niang was born in the countryside, and although she has been pampered over the years, she really doesn't know much about things. Hearing her daughter say this, she had some hope in her heart, and looked at Sheng Mingzhu again, her eyes were dumbfounded, "Really? β
"When I came back, I heard that my grandfather had gone early yesterday morning and had been kept in the palace at night. I think there is a turning point" Sheng Mingzhu said, Yun Niang relaxed a little, only to find that the dress on her daughter's body, all her clothes were handled by herself, but she had never seen this one alone.
"Mingzhu, you ...... dress" She was about to ask, but suddenly someone knocked on the door.
The winter is bitterly cold, these days the three rooms are in this situation, every day Huang's mother brings a charcoal basin at home and closes the door. I only eat by myself in the small kitchen, and no one has come to them these days, so I was a little suspicious, walked over, opened the door, but saw Ni Zhen'er beside Mrs. Song.
His expression was no different from in the past, his hands folded in front of him, and he glanced into the room, "The old lady asked Mrs. Aunt to come over, and there are some things to explain to Mrs. Aunt-"
ββ
"Old lady, Mingzhu is still young, I still want to keep her for a while."
Yun Niang didn't come to the main house for a long time, and Mrs. Song always couldn't see her daughter-in-law. Now that she was suddenly recruited and told that Mingzhu's marriage was the same, she just felt that nothing was right.
Old Taijun Song raised her eyes slightly, "Then what do you want?" The third child became a criminal official, although he couldn't implicate the Sheng family, but after the third girl became a criminal official, she didn't arrange the marriage early, do you want to find a mud leg to marry in Bingzhou at will? The daughter of my Shengguo family is not in that situation. β
"But old lady, you said before-" She also said before that she would send them back to the state.
Mrs. Song actually doesn't look down on this daughter-in-law, especially her background. But she doesn't want to make any extraneous branches anymore, especially the girl in the third room, not to mention her beauty, she also knows Guan Ping - today a Ruan family sued her, saying that the third girl was fooling around with others,
Last night, Ni Zhen'er went out to run errands, but saw her being carried into the Guan Mansion by Guan Ping - thinking of this, I don't know whether it was anger or what emotions beside her, Song Lao Taijun only felt that her heart and liver were shaking, and she looked at the person in front of her, and her voice was calm, "I just want to see the marriage, naturally let you pass the eyes, tomorrow I will let Ruan Shi bring Geng Tie to see, the second girl is married after the beginning of spring, she is young, and she will marry in January after the second girl, and she should also be happy." β
After Mrs. Song finished speaking, she hurriedly waved her hand, "Okay, you go down." Zhenri's face was sad, and I felt uncomfortable watching it. β
Yun Niang still wanted to speak, but she was already helped by Ni Zhen'er to lie down. Soon Ni Zhen'er made a gesture of sending off guests - after looking at the main room, she quickly returned to her own room, and hurriedly beckoned Huang's mother to pack up her things.
Sheng Guogong took care of the three rooms and did not agree to divide the family. But the inner house is a place for women to talk, and she will not gamble on her daughter's marriage, "Tomorrow you look at each other, is there a suitable house in the capital, let's live first." β
ββ
The Ruan family got the order of the old lady and had already prepared the Geng post. Although I don't know why the old lady is so anxious to show Sheng Mingzhu a girl, since she is married in the name of the granddaughter of the Sheng Guo Mansion, she should be in charge of the main mother.
Sheng Feifei looked at the Geng post that her mother had read, one of the pages was actually the Liu family in the capital, the Liu family's mother's mother was a wealthy family in Hangzhou, Lord Liu was now working in the military department, and Liu Gongzi was now only twenty years old, and his family was rich and noble. β
