Chapter 31: Sheng Ruoqiu
Liu? Ruan's brows furrowed slightly, she didn't have any contact with her daughter in the past few days, Sheng Feifei just cried again, "What's wrong with her?" Don't cry before you arrive, tell your mother what happened, and I'll be in charge of you? β
Half of the poetry meeting at night was done by herself. But Sheng Feifei obviously didn't think so, took off the veil, opened her red eyes and said to Ruan, "I kindly took Sheng Mingzhu to the county lord to participate in the poetry meeting, what do you say she treats me?" β
Ruan Shi looked at her, Sheng Feifei choked up as soon as she remembered the eyes of those companions looking at her today, "I kindly took her to integrate into the circle of the capital, but I was afraid that she would have no topic, so if I found a topic for her, she actually mocked me." Just a few days ago, my mother gave her that bracelet, and now the county lord is afraid that I will think that I am bullying her, a concubine who has just come from the countryside! β
Speaking of this, Sheng Feifei covered her eyes and kept crying.
"What?" Ruan's didn't understand for a long time, Sheng Feifei said that she was half crying and half crying, so she asked, "Then Sheng Mingzhu bullied you?" I don't think she has the guts. β
"She doesn't have the guts, maybe it was taught by Aunt Liu." Sheng Feifei didn't mention that she deliberately wanted to make people embarrassed that something like that happened, she only felt that she had been wronged and wanted to come back.
Ruan's family has always regarded herself as a female daughter in the Sheng Mansion, and she can't see her daughter being wronged, so she said, "Why are you crying?" Both of them live in the house, and whatever grievances you have suffered, your mother can get them back for you. It's just a concubine, even if she beats her, she doesn't have anything to say. β
Sheng Feifei didn't follow, "Then Sheng Mingzhu walked with Song Yu when he left." If I go out and say something to Song Yu, I can't afford to lose that person! β
"There are many means in the inner house", Ruan Shi poked Sheng Feifei's forehead, "I would have let you learn more before." Although your sister doesn't deal with me, she is more than a star and a half better than you, so wait. always said that Liu's suffering couldn't be said. β

Sheng Qian has been busy with the debriefing, and after a month, he finally stole a day of leisure, and the letter of debriefing was finally submitted to the ministry. And on this day, Sheng Ruoqiu, the eldest lady of the Sheng family who married into Jiangfu, also returned to her parents' house.
This is the first time Yun Niang has seen Mrs. Song this month after returning home.
"You've been busy with this and that from the ministry, and you've been running for so long, and the old lady didn't say anything to help you." In the end, it is the person next to his pillow who is distressed. Huang's mother took out the footwashing water, and Yun Niang watched the bubbles on the soles of his feet by the bedside, "I knew that this was the scene in the capital, so I might as well not come back." β
Sheng Qian shook his head, although he loved Yun Niang, but in the end, what the man thought in his heart was different from the woman.
"I see that Lingzhu is a good seedling for studying, and she likes it too," Sheng Qian said, "Nan Nan is not very old now." It's too early to say that I'm married, and I'm afraid she's bored if I'm detained in the Sheng Mansion all day. There are many colleges in the capital, including the women's academy that specializes in women, and the Junlan College taught by Song Gelao. β
Junlan, as the name suggests, is a gentleman like an orchid.
"Just going to the women's hospital?" , Yun Niang didn't expect her two daughters to read any tricks, after all, in her eyes, a woman's final destination is to marry.
But Sheng Qian has treated Sheng Mingzhu as a baby since he was a child, and later felt sorry for Lingzhu, and he was even more spoiled to the heart. I never felt that they were any worse than boys, "It's better to send them to Junlan Academy." There are four books and five classics in the women's courtyard, and they teach some husbands all day long, and they can't learn anything", and remembered what Lingzhu said that day, and smiled, "Lingzhu loves to read, and I still count on our Sheng family to produce a female champion." β
Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, although there has been no female champion. However, the national letter of Da Wei is different from that of Da Zhou, and it is explicitly ordered that women can enter the school and enter the office.
"How can there be a daughter's top score?" Yun Niang pushed him, "Originally, Lingzhu didn't talk about it, but I was abducted by the golden pen you gave me, if I went to the academy where the old Song Pavilion taught, there would be a female nerd in the family, and the concubine would not be dependent." β
Sheng Qian took her into his arms, "How can you stay in the daughter you gave birth to?" He coaxed her and said, "Actually, the academy is also good." After all, in the future, marriageable men will not be able to choose in the future. Mingzhu has a temperament like that, she can't endure a little hardship, rather than blindly marrying dumbly in the future, it is better to let her choose one she likes. β
Yun Niang's heart moved, but her mouth was still hard, "What's up to her, marriage has never been the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker." β
Sheng Qian knew that she agreed, and did not continue. Junlan College opened in the summer, and now it's almost October, and if you want to go in again, you have to find some way. Although Mrs. Song has some relationship with the Song family, Sheng Qian knows in his heart that his mother is not willing to help him with this.
"I've been busy with other things lately, how are you in the house? Are the days okay? Is there anyone to embarrass you and your daughter. Sheng Qian asked.
Yun Niang smiled, "Who is idle to embarrass me." In the past few days, I have been obedient, and I have taken Lingzhu to read and read. As if remembering something, he asked, "The academy is going to go, but I still have to find a teacher Xixi." I watched these ladies in the capital more active than those in the state, and they gathered from time to time, and they were sweeping snow and making tea, and they were singing and dancing friends, so they couldn't let her fall behind. β
"The zither in her room has long since fallen to ashes, and you still want her to learn that thing?" Sheng Qian wants to cultivate her eldest daughter into a talent, but she just knows how to eat, drink and be merry, "You can live a good life, there is no need to compare." β
Yun Niang glared at him, there was really no way, Sheng Qian raised his hand, "Okay, okay, then I'll go to her and say it's okay." Huang's mother, who was waiting on the side, picked up his boots from the bottom and put them on his feet.
Waiting for someone to go out, "I look at you and swallow it in my heart", Huang's mother glanced at Yun Niang, "There is no one in this house who has a door on his mouth, and he steps low and worships high." Tell me about itβ"
Yun Niang's face is not good-looking, but it is not a big deal. When Sheng Qian was not there, the meals sent in the kitchen were all cold rice and vegetarian dishes, Yueyin Ruan said to give it, now I haven't seen a tael of silver for almost a month, and there are two daily supplements for Mingzhu and Lingzhu, and no one pays attention to the kitchen.
Like this, if it weren't for Huang's mother and Jin Zhi's diligence, they didn't seem to have anyone in their small courtyard.
"No matter how you say this, it's all a trivial matter, if I say it, the master will go to our yard, and it won't matter if the old lady makes trouble, maybe even the old man will have to be beaten down." In the end, this Sheng family is not their own family, and Yun Niang can also see it.
Her mother-in-law doesn't like herself, and she doesn't even have much affection for the two of them.
Otherwise, they are all biological granddaughters, and they haven't said that they will take them back to Beijing until now.
"Bear with it first", Yun Niang said, "When the master reports on his work, maybe he will be separated to live." β
Huang's mother shook her head and walked out, "You just look forward to it......"
Dawn, Sheng Ruoqiu returned home.
Mrs. Song let people clean the house early in the morning, and let the family wait in the main house, waiting for a meal.
Yun Niang hurried to the scene with her two daughters. Since this month, Mrs. Song has always complained of illness, and her two granddaughters have never seen each other. Or Sheng Ruoqiu went back to her parents' house, and these two had the opportunity to see their grandmother.
Halfway through the summer, it's almost autumn. Yun Niang has come to make new clothes for the two girls in the past few days, but the embroidery girl in the house is always full of mistakes and omissions. And because I first arrived, I didn't go out to buy ready-to-wear clothes, so I could only wear last year's old clothes.
Fortunately, Sheng Mingzhu's body is not very long, and she is dressed appropriately.
This is Sheng Ruoqiu's first time returning to her parents' house after summer this year, and Mrs. Song and Ruan Shi are both picking her up outside the door. She is now not only the lady of the Sheng Mansion, but also the lady of the Jiang Mansion, and she has to give some face inside and out.
Sheng Mingzhu stood at the end, and the chariot in front of him slowly stopped. In the sedan chair, a graceful figure slowly stepped out, her head was shining with pearls, and she looked very rich and noble.
Sheng Ruoqiu's eyes lifted slightly, and he smiled at the old lady Song in the front, "Grandmother, it's been a few days, are you okay?" β
Mrs. Song took her hand and smiled kindly, "Okay." It would be better if you came back often. β
Sheng Mingzhu watched the grandfather and grandson talk. In fact, looking at Sheng Ruoqiu from a distance, she looks the same as Sheng Feifei, and she also raises her head slightly when she looks at people, but the difference between them is also very clear, Sheng Feifei is like a child's disguised energy, and Sheng Ruoqiu is really proud.
She also has such a value, the eldest granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion, and her mother's family is an old general who worked for the emperor on the battlefield that year. Now he is married into Jiangfu.
Now the characters in the daughter's family in the capital are Song Yu and Jiang County Lord, but as early as when there was Sheng Ruoqiu, the two of them were still crawling in swaddling clothes.
All the way to the main house to sit, Sheng Ruoqiu is now the wife of Jiang Mansion. And Jiang Wenhai is now also a military attache of the second grade, which is better than Sheng Mao, who has no official status except for the prince of the Guogong Mansion, so when he entered the house, he sat next to the old lady. Nguyen Thi entered the house one step behind her, and watched her take her place.
Her face was blue, and when she saw that Sheng Ruoqiu was already snuggling up to the old lady and talking something to amuse, she shook off her veil and sat down in the seat below.
Ni Zhen'er took a group of subordinates to serve tea to the master's door, Sheng Ruoqiu talked to the old lady for a while, and looked down with a smile, "I heard that the third uncle's family is back." And with two younger sisters, that's it, right? With a smile in her eyes, she looked at the pearl and the spirit bead.
The two walked out, and Sheng Lingzhu bowed her hand to her in a cute manner, "Hello big sister." β
"What a well-behaved little person", Sheng Ruoqiu looked at Mingzhu with a smile on her face, "They are all beautiful embryos, and my grandmother looks at the same face as the flowers every day, which is also pleasing to the eye." β
Mrs. Song had a smile on her face, but she didn't reply to her.
