Chapter Ninety-Nine: Biography
Sheng Qian returned to the house early in the morning with the sound of roosters, wearing a brand-new official uniform. After an interval of more than half a month, he came out of the prison of Dongchang, although he knew that it was just a drama of His Majesty, but now that he saw such a good day, he still had a feeling of seeing the light of day again.
Coming out of the sedan chair, I have arrived at the gate of the Shengguo Mansion.
He looked forward, but saw that his wife and daughter were looking at him.
"It's back, it's good to be back." There was something I wanted to say in my heart, but looking at him, Yun Niang finally only said this, Sheng Qian naturally knew how difficult it was for this woman during the accident, and now he just wanted to comfort her, but after all, he was outside, only holding her hand tightly.
"It's okay."
Sheng Mingzhu next to her was holding Lingzhu, her face was easy to clear, and she looked at her mother as if she was about to cry, and said busily, "This winter, it's so cold outside, Daddy, let's go inside." Huang's mother has prepared grapefruit leaves, and she wants to give her father a bath to get rid of bad luck. ”
Huang's mother was also on the side and said, "Yes, master, come into the house." This went to the cell, that kind of place is bad and yin, and it must be washed. ”
Sheng Qian smiled and nodded, and followed his wife and daughter to enter the door together. Ni Zhen'er waited inside, and when she saw Sheng Qian, she smiled slightly on her face, and leaned over at him, "Hello third master, the old lady heard that you are back, let me come and let me know." said that the whole family had a meal together tonight, and the reunion dinner had not been eaten for the New Year. ”
Ni Zhen'er has been the person who served by Mrs. Song's side since he went to Bingzhou, nodded at her slightly, and continued to walk back with his wife and daughter. Ni Zhen'er looked at the backs of several people, the smile on her face dispersed, and Cuizhu, who was waiting in front of the Ruan family next to her, was also there, "These three masters are back now, and they are still popular people in front of Your Majesty, even the Wang family has to take a step back, can the wind in the house be the same as before in the future?" ”
How can it be the same, but Ni Zhen'er didn't say directly, "We are all subordinates on the left and right, just serve the master well." ”
"Sister Ni Zhen'er, you are the person who serves the old lady, so you are naturally different from me." She has a lot to worry about here, the second lady in the family and the eldest lady are not fuel-efficient lamps, before the third room master had an accident, and the matter of falling into the well was not less, and now I am afraid that the third master will come back and turn over the old accounts.
The master naturally doesn't have any big concerns, but they are subordinates, and they are afraid that they will be found back after how many things they have done before. Especially the temperament of the third young lady, Ni Zhen'er also knew what she was worried about, so she looked back, "You are the eldest lady who is waiting for you, and no one can find you here, not to mention that the old lady is still there." ”
Mrs. Song tried her best to support the Ruan family, and she would naturally protect the Ruan family all the time.
——
The room was full of heat, Sheng Qian soaked in the grapefruit leaf bath, and when he came out of it, Yun Niang was waiting for him to dress, and the bath bucket was full of grapefruit leaves, "Master, it stands to reason that as a woman, I shouldn't talk about the elders in the family." But when it comes to Mingzhu, I have to tell you—"
The elders of the Dao are long and short, Sheng Qian knows in his heart that his father's temperament is too lazy to care about their affairs, "But what did the old lady say?" ”
Feelings are mutual, Sheng Qian can detect that his mother doesn't have much affection for him, and sometimes he can't love him even if he wants to. Yun Niang sorted out his clothes for him and raised her eyes to look at him, "The old lady called me over a few days ago, saying that she was a good friend of Mingzhu, and she was the son of the Liu family." Originally, the elders said that it was nothing to kiss, but it was the eldest lady who looked at each other, master, you have always known the past, although the Ruan family greeted people with a smile on some days, but the things she did before made the concubine dare not believe her? ”
"The Liu family?" Sheng Qian frowned slightly, he was slightly impressed, "Which one are you talking about?" ”
"The second son of the Liu family."
Yun Niang had already put it away, followed him out together, and whispered all the way, "The concubine went out with Huang's mother to inquire, and I heard that she was young and promising. But you also know her temperament, she said that she didn't want to marry, and I'm afraid that the old lady is not easy to say. ”
Yun Niang was also a little unreasonable when she said this, in fact, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the elders in the family giving the juniors a family affair. Especially now that Sheng Qian is also safe and sound, most of the families are the same, and there is never room for gimmicks for ordinary concubines to marry concubines.
Sheng Qian's complexion changed slightly, and the woman in the family had no way to inquire about some secret news, but he accidentally heard it from his colleagues. Yun Niang is just an ordinary concubine, and it is normal not to inquire about this kind of news, but he doesn't believe that Old Taijun Song can't find out, so why do you want to push her granddaughter into the fire pit like this?
Yun Niang saw that his complexion had changed, and she was suddenly a little apprehensive in her heart, "Master, but it's hard to say?" ”
Sheng Qian came back to his senses and looked at her again, "You don't need to worry. Thinking of this, he beckoned to Jin Zhi, who was holding clean clothes at the door of the girl, "Jin Zhi, you are here, I have something to explain to you." ”
Jin Zhi trotted over, saluted the lord and aunt in front of him, and said to Sheng Qian, "You go and tell the young lady, so that she doesn't have to go to the main room for a while, and read the book with the fourth young lady." ”
Jin Zhi was a little surprised, but he still nodded obediently, and soon took Sheng Mingzhu's clothes into the house.
"The old lady let me go, if Mingzhu doesn't go, I'm afraid it will cause her to dislike."
"I don't like it in the first place, why let the juniors suffer some more grievances in the past." Sheng Qian actually had a lot of grievances before, especially after he became a father himself, he experienced the feeling of being a parent, so he couldn't understand what Old Taijun Song thought about him - but now it seems to have faded.
She had already given up her son, as early as when she married Song Wanzheng to him.
Mrs. Song was indeed a little displeased, "Didn't you say that everyone is here today?" Why don't you see the three girls and your little daughter? ”
Ruan sat on the side of Old Song Taijun and regretted it in his heart. She only fell like this when the third room fell, who would have thought that Sheng Qian would be able to come out alive from the cannibalistic Dongchang prison without blinking.
"My two daughters have been sleepless all day and night for my business. It's easy for me to come back, and I talked to them for a while, and the two of them took a nap while talking, and they both looked extremely sleepy. There is a singing and dancing feast here at night, but I am afraid that she will yawn and disturb her mother's interest. ”
Mrs. Song's face was slightly sluggish, and she always felt that Sheng Qian's words were a bit of a pinch. only smiled, "But they are really two filial ones." However, the girl's family is filial piety, and when you are old, you still have to go out to get married, you are almost not confused, but you have no heirs under your knees, you should be anxious. ”
Sheng Qian didn't speak, Yun Niang hung her head on one side.
Mrs. Song beckoned, and Ni Zhen'er handed over the handkerchief next to her, she wiped her hands, and asked the music girl who had been playing and singing in the hall to step back, "There are some things I want to tell you, my aunt and grandmother should have told you, I am thinking, there have been a lot of things in the Shengguo Mansion recently, and even you are like this here. It just so happened that she didn't come today, so I just happened to let you know. ”
Ruan nodded, and thought that the matter of the Liu family's son was extremely private, and thought that Sheng Qian, a waiter, should not know about the affairs of an ordinary son's brother's room, so he took the booklet from Cuizhu's hand, "Third brother, you can also palm your eyes." ”
Sheng Qian didn't take it, "Sister-in-law Xie is kind." It's just that Mingzhu is not very old, and I want to keep her for a few more days. ”
Old Taijun Song's brows were already furrowed, she didn't expect Sheng Qian to reply to her directly, "When a woman is married, it's not too small." ”
Sheng Qian didn't say anything, just looked at Mrs. Song with a smile. There are many lights in the hall that are on, and it stands to reason that she can see everything clearly, but Mrs. Song doesn't know if her eyes are starting to change when she is older, or if he has changed, she can't see the look in his eyes clearly.
"The affairs of the inner house are naturally decided by the woman, if you really want to keep her for a little longer, you don't need to let her aunt take her out in the future."
The daughter's family of the right age will be taken by the housewife to participate in various banquets held by nobles, in order to go out to see others. Yun Niang's concubine naturally can't go out to other people's houses, and Song Lao Taijun's words are tantamount to a threat. Sheng Qian didn't look at her, he was holding the tea in his hand, the heat was scattered on his face, and his expression was a little uncertain.
Old Taijun Song continued, "Besides, Geng Ti has been reconciled, if your daughter does not marry, it will be a repentance of marriage, and which rich and noble family will dare to marry her in the future." ”
——
Sheng Mingzhu was reading the picture book on the bed, and Lingzhu was flipping through the historical records on one side, and glanced at the book her sister was reading.
"Li Gongzi pulled the young lady of the Sun family and suddenly hugged her hard-" Sheng Lingzhu read, Sheng Mingzhu was fascinated, suddenly heard such a sound, and hurriedly put the booklet on his chest, and looked at Lingzhu A pair of watery eyes looked at him, and suddenly laughed angrily, "What are you doing when you read it?" ”
"Mr. said that if you read a book a hundred times, you can see the meaning of it, and sometimes you can't understand it, but you can understand everything when you read it." Talking about probing the brain, you have to go up to see. Sheng Mingzhu has been reading these picture books for some time, and she has shared them with Song Yu before, and she feels that it is nothing, but now she is suddenly read by her own sister, and she feels wrong.
"Then you should read your historical records, not mine."
"Why?"
No reason, Sheng Mingzhu thought in his heart. She has read several of this gentleman's books, and there are many fragrant descriptions at the back, if she really let her read them, her mother knows that half of her legs are not gone. Jin Zhi on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard the conversation between the two, and said after a while, "Third Miss, you can put it away quickly, the old lady should come back in a while." ”
Sheng Mingzhu looked out the window, the night was already very dark, but a ball of white velvet suddenly jumped in from the window, jumped straight onto her chest, the paws were cold, Sheng Mingzhu hugged it, "I didn't see a shadow all day, but I came back at night", she was about to pat its cat head, but saw it looking at herself pitifully with a pair of blue eyes.
Suddenly, my heart felt soft, and I was about to pinch its ears, but I found that it actually had a red silk tied around its neck.
