Chapter 13: Questioning After the Fact Initial Suspicions
The scene in this hall passed quickly, seeing that his daughter had spent no danger and no danger, Zhou's heart that had been carried was completely put down, and the dishes on the banquet were also complete, Zhou's was gentle, and many noble ladies were good, and soon the atmosphere in this was lively again, and the banquet officially kicked off.
Shu Zhenyuan is a table of toasts, men get together, it is nothing more than wine and women, and now it is not appropriate to mention women on this occasion, so it is left to use wine to contact feelings. What's more, most of the people who came were brothers who lived and died together with Shu Zhenyuan on the battlefield, and as soon as the wine box was opened, it couldn't be closed.
The women's side is obviously much quieter and more elegant, and the ones who come are the wives or daughters in charge of each family, and the etiquette form is not picky, but fortunately, the Shu family is well-organized, and the Zhou family is from everyone, and the banquet is extremely decent, and everyone is very happy.
The second prince was persuaded to drink several glasses of wine, but his status was noble, and today was not his home field, so only a few high-ranking officials came to toast. He has always remained sober, not so much sober, but more suspicious and ulterior motives.
Since he met Shu Manyin, he had a faint urge in his heart, an urge to get close to her and get her, not only because of what men do to women, but also because of the value she can use. Today's Shu Zhenyuan is as strong as the sun, and the status of the Shu family is also as stable as a rock, and it seems that the Nine Emperor Uncles are also very optimistic about the Shu family, if he can marry Shu Manyin, wouldn't he be able to get Shu Zhenyuan's support and please the Nine Emperor Uncles?
Xiao Liuzi has been amazed since Shu Manyin gave two gifts, in his heart, Shu Manyin has become the best choice for his own princess, where to find such an impeccable woman, although she is still younger, but the prince can settle down first, and it is not too late to get married when the family is married. You said that this look, this bearing, this talent, this insightful woman, tsk, if it weren't for the fact that she was an incapable person, she would definitely like it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but subconsciously look at Wei Chidu and asked, this man is still vacant as a concubine, what does this man lack the most now? That must be the help of all forces, otherwise he would not have stammered with his own prince. Now it seems that he is more likely to target the Shu family.
The banquet of the Shu family ended soon, and Shu Manyin's embroidery skills also became a negotiable asset for everyone to participate in the guests after the dinner, and soon Shu Manyin was also among the talented women. And Shu Fangyin, who later learned the news, was angry and found some excuses to punish a little girl, of course, these are later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.
After the banquet was over, after the guests left, Shu Fangyin couldn't go to Lanxiangyuan, Zicao saw her angry face, and hurriedly stopped the person: "Second Miss, my young lady is really tired today, and now she has rested, please come back another day." ”
"What are you, you talk to me like this, no matter what, I am also the second lady of the Shu family, and you are just a dog raised by the Shu family. Shu Fangyin was so angry that she began to say nothing.
"Why didn't I know that my sister is so capable now that she can understand the language of beasts?" Shu Manyin walked out of the back room unhurriedly, and Lilac was putting on a coat for her young lady.
"Miss." When Zicao saw that her master had come out, she felt a little guilty, but she didn't think that the movement here was too big, so she still disturbed the young lady.
"You ......" Shu Fangyin was angry, "Okay, I don't care about a subordinate, but you, Shu Manyin, you keep saying that your sister and sister's call are affectionate, but you really didn't expect that it was you who stabbed you in the back." ”
Shu Manyin looked at her pale face with anger, but she felt a little disdain in her heart, she couldn't bear it like this? What is the one who suffers? She let Shu Fangyin stare at it, but slowly smiled: "Why can't I understand what my sister said?" Where does the claim of a stab in the back come from? ”
"I didn't expect my sister to be a dare to do it, you know that the gift I gave to my grandmother is a pair of embroidery, why did you change your mind temporarily? You were born better than me, you found a good belly to be born, you pick what is delicious and easy to use, and it is my turn to pick the rest, everything is stronger than me, and now even these things have to overpower me? ”
"Oh? My sister's words are so funny, is it possible that you have decided what gift you want to give, and I have to take the initiative to avoid it? Shu Manyin closed her pupils: "I'm afraid my sister hasn't forgotten, I'm the concubine of the Shu family, no matter how much you spoil it, you're just a concubine, have you forgotten the etiquette, righteousness and shame you have learned over the years, and have you forgotten the respect and humility of the elders and the young?" Was it so good to you that you forgot about it, or did you not take my sister in your eyes at all from the beginning? In the end, her voice was also raised, and all the coercion in her body pressed towards Shu Fangyin.
Shu Fangyin was taken aback by the momentum on her body, and involuntarily took a step back.
Seeing her move, Shu Manyin suddenly put pressure on her again, and smiled again: "Sister, you have to remember, no matter what, I am your sister-in-law, if my sister forgets all the etiquette she learned in the past, I can remind my mother to find a few more nurturing grandmothers for my sister." ”
"Shu Manyin, you really have a good plan." As soon as Shu Fangyin heard that she was going to find a few more nurturing grandmothers, she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, she knew how strict the rules of upbringing were for those upbringing grandmothers, and if she didn't do it well, she secretly made a few more stumbling blocks, and she was afraid that she would have to practice etiquette until she was crippled, especially when others couldn't speak.
She came over to find something aggressively, but she was scolded back in disgrace, of course, she didn't forget to say a cruel word before leaving: "Shu Manyin, let's see who is the one who has the last laugh, hum, Hongxing, let's go." ”
Seeing that she took the red apricot out of the yard, Lilac and Comfrey came up: "Miss, what kind of wind did the second lady smoke at this time?" ”
"Who knows, I guess, it's just that Miss stole her limelight, but she doesn't want to think about it, Miss is the eldest daughter, even if the limelight is out, it's not something she can manage." Lilac snorted disdainfully.
"Miss, I saw the ruthlessness of the second miss before she left, I felt a little hairy in my heart, do you think she will make a trick." After all, Zicao has a more stable temperament, seeing the second miss who pretended to cater in front of Miss before, and then thinking about her dissatisfaction with Miss like this, she really knows people and doesn't know her heart.
"Now that you have seen her true face, she will definitely find trouble in the future, so I ordered the whole yard to keep an eye on me, don't fall into the trap of others, otherwise I am not sure that I will be able to save it in time, you know?" In fact, according to Shu Manyin's current temperament, she is really not afraid of Shu Fangyin now, after the toss in her previous life, she can probably know what Shu Fangyin wants, and she probably knows what means and connections she has. It's just that she is not afraid of the immature Shu Fangyin at this time, what she is worried about is Aunt Feng who has always had an unclear attitude.
After this incident, the person who happened to knock on his yard, presumably as long as he was not stupid, he would also know that the two of them did not agree with each other, if there was really something else, then it was not impossible to clear the traitor in the yard.
Shu Fangyin went back to her yard in a huff, and not long after her butt fell, she saw Aunt Feng come in.
"Hmph, do you still know that there is a daughter of mine? Why did you just watch me being bullied by someone on top of the main hall? Shu Fangyin didn't care that the person in front of her was her mother, and she was accusing.
"Fang'er, you have really grown up now, and your wings are hard? The eldest lady is your sister-in-law, how can you be aggressive in front of everyone, if she really makes a mistake, this is not only the face of the eldest lady, but also the face of the entire Shu Mansion, when are you going to make trouble? "Aunt Feng doesn't know her daughter's thoughts, but to be honest, her daughter's methods are really inferior, and when the time comes, the Shu Mansion will become a joke for others.
"You're still defending her at this point? Could it be that I wasn't born to you? Why do you have to favor her, one or two? Shu Fangyin couldn't believe her ears, she really couldn't imagine that her mother would not stand by her side: "You have only been the aunt of the Shu family all your life, and you have never even raised your position, do you want me to be willing to be an aunt of other people's families?" I'm not reconciled! If I am the concubine of this Shu Mansion, I can also sit in a high seat, which point am I worse than her? ”
"How can you be so bold, how dare you be so delusional?" Aunt Feng really didn't know that what her daughter was thinking was so terrifying.
"Why don't you dare to think about it? If you fight for some anger, if you can kill the current one who sits in the position of the main mother, am I not the real concubine of the Shu family? Shu Fangyin seemed to have thought of something, and eagerly took Aunt Feng's hand: "Auntie, I'm really unwilling, Auntie, can you help me?" ”
"You ......" Aunt Feng is now eager to block Shu Fangyin's mouth: "Do you know what you are talking nonsense?" ”
"Auntie, I didn't talk nonsense, auntie, I will have a chance in the future, I must honor you well, can you help me?" Shu Fangyin seemed to have found the best way, and kept persuading, believing that if her aunt could help her, she would definitely have a much better life than the days when she was blocked step by step.
Aunt Feng seemed to be frightened by her words: "Don't talk nonsense, I shouldn't have heard it today, and I don't want to hear you say this again in the future, remember your identity, and don't think about something you shouldn't get." ”
After that, she pushed Shu Fangyin away fiercely, Shu Fangyin was defenseless, was pushed aside, and never stood firm and fell on the ground, Aunt Feng, who had walked a few steps, looked back and saw Shu Fangyin sitting on the ground, she was very unbearable, and wanted to come back to comfort a few words, but when she thought of what this daughter just said, she relented and left the yard.
