Chapter 33: The Pearl is Beautiful
Grey Coat: ......
He glanced at the fat and greasy mother-in-law in front of him, and although he still had an expressionless face when he turned around, he was about to cry, "Third Miss, this ......"
"What nonsense, hug her!"
The woman saw that they wanted to make a move, and immediately called, "What do you want to do, my brother is the butler in front of the eldest lady, you have to do it to watch out for me-" When the words fell, she was hugged by gray clothes, and her face was red and she couldn't speak.
Sheng Mingzhu touched his waist from his waist, "What about my whip?" β
Huang's mother came up to the side, "I was put away by your mother a few days ago......" I couldn't wait to go up and kick the mother-in-law's feet for a while. Yun Niang is gentle, half of Sheng Mingzhu's temperament was brought by her, and she stopped her for a while, "Forget it, this kitchen lady is very oily, and I don't know what this matter will be arranged like today." β
Reasonableness is said to be unreasonable.
Sheng Ruoqiu watched from the side for a while, and felt that Sheng Mingzhu standing here was not quite the same as the third sister he had seen in the morning. It was also the mother-in-law's sharp eyes, and when she saw the corner of her clothes, she immediately cried and shouted, "Miss, save the little one, these three young ladies are crazy, I have been serving in the house for so many years......"
The reason why Sheng Mingzhu came to the kitchen to find trouble here today was because she was sure that the old ladies were taking care of Brother Lin, and she was sure that these old slaves would not be able to say anything. But now that Sheng Ruoqiu is here, it's a little difficult to do.
Sheng Ruoqiu walked over, her brows furrowed. Sheng Mingzhu also said that he came to trouble himself, and he was a little hesitant for a while.
"A minion, who gave you the guts to sue the master." Sheng Ruoqiu glanced at the woman coldly, "I'm here today to listen to you." Your mother-in-law scolds the third lady and abuses the fourth lady, is it really that there is no one in my Sheng family? The woman stared at her with wide eyes, and suddenly remembered that the eldest lady had flattered her in the past.
But since he left the house to get married, he has been singing against Ruan's family.
"Press her for me", Sheng Ruoqiu is the eldest daughter, but she also lost her biological mother. After the Ruan family took charge of the house, she also shrank her head and shrunk her tail for a while, and she couldn't be clearer about how Diao Nu was at the bottom.
"Missβ"
Sheng Ruoqiu went up with a heavy big ear, and the old mother's face was slapped aside. She turned her head again and looked at Sheng Mingzhu with a smile, "Third sister, come, the eldest sister is here today, and you have any evil spirit." No one dares to do anything to you? β
Sheng Mingzhu looked at her suspiciously for a while, but the opportunities were all here, and she couldn't say anything if she didn't go.
The mother-in-law watched her, Sheng Mingzhu walked over, "Thank you big sister over there", as soon as the words fell, she slapped her face round.
The slap was too loud, the gray clothes almost bit his sleeve and shivered back, and then looked back, the woman collapsed on the ground, compared to the previous slaps of Sister Ping'er, Sheng Mingzhu is getting older, and her hand strength is getting bigger, and her teeth don't know if they are bleeding or falling out.
The eldest sister of the Sheng family over there did not move, and there was still appreciation in her eyes - it was really a woman from the Sheng family, gray Yi thought.
"Are you okay?" Sheng Ruoqiu said.
Sheng Mingzhu rubbed his wrist, "The strength is great, and some of them are reversed." β
The old mother was lying on the ground, and no one cared about her. Originally, she was the head of the kitchen, but now she has shrunk in after a few falls, Sheng Ruoqiu's eyes turned slightly, there seemed to be a cold light in her eyes, and her voice was flat, "If you still let me find out that you don't respect the master in the future, give me more care, my hands are not short, and don't forget what my husband's family does." β
Sheng Ruoqiu's husband Jiang Wenhai is a military general of the second grade, and now he works under Guan Ping of Dongchang. No one in the family likes Guan Ping, but everyone is afraid of him.
The men shrank back and didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Third sister, over the years, the family is not as good as before. It's a bit messy. Sheng Ruoqiu said as she walked, and Sheng Mingzhu followed her quietly.
"The same is true of the people in the house. Everyone who only sees the wealth in front of them. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that my Sheng family has a generation of meritorious generals...... but now it is about to be destroyed in the hands of a woman.
Sheng Ruoqiu didn't say any more, she finally plucked herself out of this swamp. turned around again and looked at Sheng Mingzhu with a smile, "You and I meet for the first time, and there is nothing to give you, look at your name is Mingzhu, it just so happens that I have a pearl here today." My husband has done a good job, and he has been rewarded by the governor, so you can go by. β
It is a forehead ornament inlaid with pearls, which is very exquisite. Sheng Mingzhu took two steps, and Sheng Ruoqiu's hand moved slightly, and then put it on her forehead.
"Beauty pearls, complement each other." Sheng Feifei praised.
Regardless of the side, these three sisters are indeed a beautiful embryo. The eyebrows and eyes are distinct, like ink landscapes, and now the jewels on the forehead take advantage of each other, and the silver pendants on both sides take advantage of the green silk, and there are a few more strands of fairy energy for no reason.
Sheng Mingzhu has always been confident in her appearance, her small chest straightened slightly, and she still said modestly, "Thank you, big sister, Mingzhu is very beautiful." β
Sheng Ruoqiu listened to her pun, covered her lips and smiled, "That is, you little girl......" is also young, hearing that Guan Dudu's reputation is not afraid, remembering how her husband entered Guan Ping's door before, Sheng Ruoqiu's eyes fluctuated slightly, stopped after a while, and changed the topic again.
"It's just that when you come back from Bingzhou, most of the locals look down on outsiders. Especially close to the imperial city, only the surrounding places are regarded as countryside. Just like the people in the house now, you and I are sisters of blood relatives, and we are used to having the same Sheng surname on our heads, and I can't help you a lot next to me, if someone bullies you and Lingzhu, come to me. β
The person in front of him is the most normal person Sheng Mingzhu has seen since he came to Sheng Mansion.
It really felt like a relative, and she also had a smile on her face, looking well-behaved and smart, "I know, big sister." β
"I know you're not this kind of character, so you don't have to be good in front of me." Just look at the fact that she slapped the mother-in-law hard.
"The rules of the family are strict, but our Sheng Mansion is not a family in general, and there are only three generations in total." Sheng Ruoqiu said, "Long before the Great Wei entered the customs, my grandfather was just a horseman, and after the Great Wei entered the customs, he became an upstart in the court, and was named the grandfather of the country because of his hard work." β
Sheng Mingzhu nodded, "I know." β
"But some people don't know. The eldest lady in our house prefers to put the style of the lady of the family. Travel and housing have to be top-notch, but they are not in charge. Just look at the lazy subordinates in the house. Sheng Ruoqiu smiled coldly, "Fortunately, Brother Lin has been raised by her grandmother since she was a child, otherwise she would have been taken to the left by her." β
"After all, you are living in the house, if the third uncle has no serious plans to go out, you don't have to fight her." can't touch it, even if she herself is cautious, she will dare to come back to the Ruan family when she gets married.
Sheng Mingzhu knew the meaning of her words, she was going to teach that person a lesson today, Sheng Ruoqiu helped. The old mother sued the Ruan family for looking for trouble, but she could only find Sheng Ruoqiu, no matter what, she helped her, she remembered this situation.
Nodding again, "Inherit the love of big sister." Otherwise, Ming'er will still be annoying. β
Sheng Ruoqiu likes the temperament of this third sister very much, she is not soft at all when she should be hard, but she is not a person who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and asked, "In front of the old lady today, I don't have anything to say." Just think she's dissatisfied with Aunt Liu's book? β
With such an attitude of these subordinates, Sheng Ruoqiu is also a person from the past, and knows that this is a common method used by the Ruan family.
Sheng Mingzhu's eyes shook slightly, and after thinking about it, he said.
What can happen, Zuo is just that she made Sheng Feifei embarrassed at the county lord's poetry meeting that day.
ββ
Sheng Feifei knew that her sister was going to return to Ning, and she also came back from the academy an hour early.
"Mother, where is my eldest sister?" When she came back, she didn't see Sheng Ruoqiu, so Sheng Feifei hurriedly asked Ruan.
Ruan's temper is bad today, Brother Lin'er made a mistake, and he was counted down by the old lady. Originally, he often went to the palace to read with him, and he rarely saw him, but he picked him up as soon as he met today.
In addition, Sheng Ruoqiu will oppose her as soon as she comes back today.
This time, I didn't send a woman to the house, but I stepped on her face on the ground, "What are you looking for her?" White-eyed wolf one! Now that you're married, you'll come against me! Don't look at who found such a good way out for her! He complained to Sheng Feifei again, "As soon as your eldest sister came back today, she took someone to beat those in the kitchen, didn't that hit your mother and me in the face?" β
Sheng Feifei never cared about these things.
She only cares about whether her mother will give her money and whether the eldest sister has any useful jewelry. After comforting Ruan Shi indiscriminately, he hurriedly wanted to carry his skirt and leave, but Ruan Shi stopped her, "You are not allowed to see her!" With her without me! β
Sheng Feifei stomped her feet, "Then she is also my own sister." What's more, it's not all you, the eldest sister is married to the Jiang family, but you still want to trouble her and send Yangzhou thin horses to your brother-in-law, otherwise can she do this? β
"I'm not all for you and Brother Lin!" Ruan Shi couldn't get angry, "Do you expect your father to be able to count on it?" I've taken care of her dowry for more than ten years, and now the interest has doubled, and she said that if she wants to leave, she will leave, and you will pay back-"
Before she finished speaking, Sheng Feifei ran away, and Ruan only felt that her children and daughters were unreliable, so she cried while holding on to the dressing table. Cuizhu didn't dare to disturb her at this time, so she took a look and cleaned up the things she had broken just now.
On the side, Sheng Feifei walked quickly to the boudoir where Sheng Ruoqiu had not yet married, and saw that the lights were still on there, so she rushed over.
But before she could get there, the door opened.
The door was opened by the eldest sister's personal maid, but the person who came out was not the eldest sister. It is the pearl of Shengββ
Sheng Ruoqiu stood at the door to see her off, with a smile on her face. In the past, when I went back to my parents' house, the old lady's body was not good, she had a long rest, and she rarely talked to someone for a day.
Sheng Feifei saw the two talking and laughing, and her face sank.
When they passed by, Sheng Mingzhu leaned over slightly, and the two of them said hello. Sheng Feifei saw the pearl ornament on her forehead with sharp eyes, and suddenly turned her head and said, "You stop!" β
