Chapter 55 (Ask for the first order!) Ask for pink! ）

Tong Ye followed the lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion to Pei's house with trepidation.

Mrs. Xia couldn't get up from bed these days, and the three concubines of the Pei family were all serving medicine in front of the bed.

The person who received Mrs. Tai and her party was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family, Shen.

Mrs. Tai had seen the Shen family that day, and knew that she was a talkative person in the Pei family, and the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, so there was nothing wrong with proposing marriage to her.

"Mrs. Tai is here to propose marriage to Marquis Ning Yuan?" Shen raised his eyebrows, looking a little incredulous. looked up and down at the few maids brought by Mrs. Tai, among them, only Tong Ye was dressed as a woman.

Tong Ye saw that the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Pei family looked at him, and hurriedly came out to salute the eldest and young grandmother, and said with a smile: "Slave Tong Ye, I have seen my uncle and grandmother." ”

Shen was wearing a cyan right short shirt, rolling black edges, with a plain cotton skirt, and only a plain silver hairpin on his head, which was very capable. Seeing Tong Ye coming over to salute him, Shen knew that Tong Ye was Pei Shufan's wedding maid, and he was a member of the Pei family, so he came over with a hand stove from the table, covered it in his hand and asked, "You are not looking at the house in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, what are you doing here?" ”

Tong Ye's face stiffened, lowered his head, retreated behind Mrs. Tai, and said, "Mrs. Tai has a life, and the slave maid dare not obey." ”

Shen ignored her anymore, looked at Mrs. Tai and said with a smile: "I thought Mrs. Tai was here to visit the patient, it seems that I thought too much." Please sit down first, and I'll ask my mother. The stakes are so high that I can't call the shots alone. ”

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "But my mother-in-law is sick?" What a coincidence. He turned to his eldest maid and said, "You go back quickly, let the chief steward take the post of the Hou Ye, and go to the Tai Hospital to invite a good doctor to come over and take a look." ”

"No need. The doctor of the Tai Hospital, his medical skills are too clever. My good daughter, they just looked down on her. If I don't let them see, I'm afraid I'll live a few more days. While speaking, Mrs. Xia walked in from outside the door with the support of the two big maids, Liuli and Jade.

After listening to Mrs. Xia's words, no matter how good Mrs. Tai's temper was, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she sat there with her neck bent and didn't speak for a long time.

Mrs. Xia sat down on the side and said to Shen, "It's almost time to prepare lunch, you go to the kitchen and take a look." These new chefs are always penalizing and not remembering, so you need to mention more. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Xia was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai here, Shen couldn't help but smile, curtsy and said, "Yes, daughter-in-law, let's go and have a look." You have to give them a good look, so that you can do things according to rules, and you can do whatever you want if you don't occupy a position. ”

Mrs. Xia and her eldest daughter-in-law are now more and more at ease, and when she saw that she understood the meaning of her words, she showed a smile and said, "Go ahead." The children said they wanted to eat mutton soup, and you remember to ask them to put some goji berries to remove the smell. ”

Shen responded and retreated with the maid.

Mrs. Xia sat on the top, looking at Mrs. Tai in the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion with bright eyes, and she didn't know what Mrs. Tai was doing.

Mrs. Tai had no choice but to keep an old face and say again about her request to marry Pei Shufen, the fourth lady of the Pei family.

Mrs. Xia knew their intentions early on. Before, she also thought that she was going to marry a concubine, but recently because of Shen's words, she has changed her mind.

Mrs. Xia said apologetically to Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Tai looks down on us Shufen, which is her blessing. It's just that her sister-in-law died, whether it was her brother-in-law or herself, she had to keep filial piety for a year. Besides, she is young, and she will not mention this kind of thing in the future. ”

Mrs. Tai heard that Mrs. Xia's topic had changed, and she couldn't say anything, and felt that the Pei family might be taking Qiao, so she snorted and said, "In this case, we won't bother." ”

Seeing off the group of people from the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, Mrs. Xia felt short of breath and went back to rest.

Only Pei Shufen heard that the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion came to propose marriage, but she was actually blocked back by Mrs. Xia, and she was so anxious in the house.

After thinking about it for a long time, Pei Shufen took the two maids to Mrs. Xia's house and kept watch in front of her bed.

At dusk, Mrs. Xia woke up and saw Pei Shufen crying in front of her bed, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

At this time, there was no one else in the house, and Pei Shufen let her two maids guard the door, which was a good time to speak.

Pei Shufen knelt in front of Mrs. Xia's bed and said in a low voice: "I embarrassed my mother today." ”

Mrs. Xia understood that what she said was about the marriage proposal of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, looked at her and sighed heavily, and said, "Shu Fen, you are still young, and you don't know how aggrieved it is to fill the house for others." I had planned to marry one of you, but now that I think about it, I actually didn't think about it well, so I don't need to mention it in the future. "Mrs. Xia used to think that her aunt was a stepmother and was more kind to her children than unrelated people outside. However, Shen Shi said something to her last night, which made Mrs. Xia feel empowered.

Shen persuaded Mrs. Xia at that time: "Mother, my aunt is a stepmother, if there is a bad one, the two children will not even have a place to complain." Who would believe that their own aunt would deliberately embarrass them? - Besides, when the stepmother has a child of her own, this heart will definitely change. Since sooner or later it will change, it is better to let the two children understand and accept this truth as soon as possible. Don't wait for them to have a soft affection for their stepmother, and then for the stepmother to have their own biological child, and then they realize that they have become superfluous. Wouldn't it hurt even more then? ”

Shen's father was promoted from the county order all the way to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and I don't know how many such stepmothers have planned the property and children left by their former wives for their own children. Not to mention that the sister-in-law is a stepmother, even if it is a sister-in-law, this kind of thing is not uncommon. No way, how can sisterhood be as important as biological children?

Whether it is above board or conspiratorial, this kind of contradiction belongs to the conflict of interests, and it is basically an irreconcilable contradiction. Especially the richer and more powerful this person's family is, the more fierce the fight. Besides, if the house is filled with the original sister, the mother's family is not good for the original child. If she fills the house with a girl from another family, she will have a fear. knew that if she was too out of line, her original mother's family could drag her to the yamen to take off her pants and hit the board. However, if the house is filled with a girl from the same family, no one can afford to lose people and get their own girls into the yamen.

And young children can never fight against ill-intentioned adults, not to mention being used by their stepmother to play the role of "loving mother", and then when they are no longer needed, they are thrown aside and ignored. The Shen family had seen all these things, and felt that it was necessary to explain it clearly to his mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia. - The villain first, the gentleman later, is always more open and acceptable than the gentleman first and the villain later.

Because of Shen's words, Mrs. Xia decided to raise the two children left by Shu Fan in a different way. She no longer plans to bother trying to find a suitable person to replace Shu Fan's position, in this world, no one can replace her mother's position. Although they are small, they can teach slowly, and they can understand that when their mother is gone, they must be more careless and attentive than other children in order to grow up safely and smoothly.

Of course, they will also know that although they have no mother, their grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and maybe their father and grandmother will continue to care for them. will even care more for them than for other children because they have no mother.

Pei Shufen listened to Mrs. Xia's explanation, and couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly said, "Mother, you can't say that. How can a child not have a mother's love? Besides, for the sake of the two nephews, I am willing to be wronged. ”

Seeing Mrs. Xia's suspicious look, Pei Shufen racked her brains and said, "Mother doesn't know that none of the concubines of the Hou Ye are fuel-efficient lamps. If there is no proper person watching over there, the two nephews ......"

Mrs. Xia leaned on the big pillow, looked up at the seven-colored lotus embroidered on the curtain on the top of the bed, and said leisurely: "Yi'er and Qianqian are now people with titles. Those concubines, if they really want to kill themselves, they can't blame others. ”

Pei Shufen tightly twisted the handkerchief with both hands, and continued to persuade with a red face: "Even if they can cure their sins at that time, but the two nephews will suffer in the end, why bother?" It's better to prevent it first than to compensate and punish it afterwards. Children don't have to suffer......"

There is some truth to this.

Shen's words are righteousness. And Pei Shufen's concerns are subsections. For the two children at present, it is really difficult to distinguish which one is more important.

Mrs. Xia closed her eyes and said a little tiredly, "You let me think about it again......"

Pei Shufen couldn't, so she had to get up and go out, called Mrs. Xia's eldest maids, Liuli and Jade, to come over and guard, and went to the side hall to have dinner with her family.

After a few more days, Chu Hua saw that the Pei family still didn't let go, and felt more and more that he had confirmed what Pei Shufen had said before: It seems that Mrs. Xia deliberately wanted to embarrass her.

"Mother, now that the matter is over, why don't you ask the queen to come forward?" Chu Huajin went out to socialize in the past few days, and when he saw that the people of the Pei family were like stars and moons in the capital, he became more and more excited to marry another daughter of the Pei family. Otherwise, if you marry the daughter of another family as your stepfamily, the in-law relationship with the Pei family will really fade.

Mrs. Tai used to listen to the old Ning Yuanhou in everything, but now she is always focused on her son. It's just that I was neglected in the Pei family last time, and I am still a little unhappy in my heart, so I spat and said: "Could it be that except for the girls of the Pei family, all the other girls in the world are dead?" Do you have to marry a girl from the Pei family? ”

Chu Huajin blushed a little and sneered: "Where did my mother say?" Aren't I also thinking about our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion? "I told you about the recent events in the court.

After listening to Chu Huajin's explanation, Mrs. Tai felt that there was some truth, so she said, "Then I'll go to the palace and listen to what the queen has to say." If the queen also thinks that this family business is done, I will help you ask for a decree. ”

Chu Hua hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled at Mrs. Tai: "Then it will be annoying to the mother." ”

In the Great Qi Dynasty, if there is no special matter, foreign women can generally enter the palace on the first day of the first month of every month.

Although there is still half a month before the first day of the new year, the lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion is the mother of the queen's mother, of course, it is not ordinary, so you don't have to wait so long.

Within two days, a word came out from the palace, announcing that the lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion had entered the palace to speak.

When she arrived at the Queen's Palace, Mrs. Tai exchanged a few words with the Queen, and the Queen took Mrs. Tai to the warm pavilion in the middle to say something considerate.

The palace is not as good as the outside, and there is not so much time to come and go, so Mrs. Tai bluntly mentioned this family affair on the ground.

When the queen heard this, she immediately looked happy and said, "Big brother is really far-sighted. The Pei family is a close family, and it is necessary to get married. Don't be estranged from the Pei family just because you went to the sister-in-law in front. ”

Mrs. Tai remembered the cold reception she received in the Pei family, and was a little disapproving, and said, "The old man of the Pei family is no longer the first assistant......

The queen knew that Mrs. Tai had a smooth life in her life, not to mention outside affairs, even family affairs, she had never bothered. He explained with a smile: "Although Taifu Pei resigned, he still has three sons who have become officials. Mother also knows that the saint has just greatly promoted the Pei family. This has never happened in the Great Qi Dynasty. ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the queen and smiled very kindly: "The Pei family has such a great achievement, isn't it still for the sake of the queen and the three princes?" ”

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "My mother used to be clear in her heart, although she didn't say anything, she actually knew everything." ”

Mrs. Tai sat closer, took the queen's hand, and said in a low voice: "Dan'er, although my mother doesn't understand things outside, she is not so confused that she will hold you back." Thinking of the old Marquis Ning Yuan, he sighed to the queen: "Your father didn't let me worry about the concubine and aunt back then. is the concubine in the family, and I forced your father to accept my dowry maid and gave birth to it, but in order to have a good name, your brothers and sisters can talk about a good family business. Then he half-spat and half-revealed the cold reception he received at Pei's house.

The queen was extremely surprised, lowered her head and thought for a while, and then instructed Mrs. Tai: "Don't worry, mother." I will go and decree the marriage. Even if the Pei family is unwilling, they have to be willing."
