Chapter 277: The Fourth Lady Arrives

appeased the eldest lady and coaxed Yueying, and the family finally returned to its former tranquility - the eldest lady teased Ziyang every day, Yueying followed Chang Hui to practice martial arts hard, and Shen Muqing dealt with the trivial matters at home, writing a letter to Xiao Sa every four or five days. Occasionally looking at the lonely figure reflected on the window lattice, she will think of Wei, and the loneliness in her heart will be much lighter.

A few days later, Shen Zhen sent someone to pick up Yueying and Ziyang to play. Considering that Yueying's hand injuries had all healed, Shen Muqing instructed Yueying a few words, accompanied by Chang Hui, and let their sister and brother go to the petrified bridge.

The eldest lady persuaded her to go out for a walk: "...... While the children went to their grandfather's house, you also rested, what's going on at home, isn't there still me! ”

Shen Muqing was in a trance for a moment.

I used to have to take care of my children, and I didn't feel like that. Now that the time is free, she doesn't know where to go......

"I'll just stay at home!" She smiled, "I have to make a few pairs of shoes for Xianggong to take to Sichuan." ”

Xiao Sa also has some quirks - he has to wear shoes made by Shen Muqing, which is also one of them.

The eldest lady covered her sleeves and smiled: "I'll help you paste the soles of your shoes!" ”

Someone is a companion, talking and laughing, and the work is faster.

Shen Muqing smiled and asked Ying Fan to go to his house to get a needlework vamp, and while embroidering the vamp, he gossiped with the eldest lady.

Just embroidered a small piece of auspicious clouds, a maid came in and said, "The big master is here!" ”

The eldest lady and Shen Muqing were stunned, and before they could say anything, the curtain was lifted, and Xiao Zhao had already entered the house.

Shen Muqing hurriedly got off the kang and put on his shoes to salute Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao looked at the needlework on the kang table, smiled rarely, and said, "Who are you doing this for?" ”

"Make a pair of shoes for Sa'er." The eldest lady also got off the kang, "Sa'er's shoes are all made with Mu Qing's help." ”

Xiao Zhao nodded and sat in the position that Shen Muqing had given up.

Shen Muqing hurriedly put away the things, and personally took the tea brought by the little maid and served it to Xiao Zhao.

"You sit too!" Xiao Zhao pointed to the other party's kang.

The eldest lady sat down again and said, "The eldest master came in such a hurry, but what happened?" There was a bit of solemnity in his expression.

"I can't come if it's okay!" Xiao Zhao's attitude was casual, "I'll come and see Ziyang." ”

The eldest lady did not breathe a sigh of relief, but gave Shen Muqing a look, and then said with a smile: "Ziyang went to his grandfather's house." Otherwise, I'll have someone pick it up! ”

"I won't be leaving for a while." Xiao Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Since I went to my grandfather's house, it's the same to play there for a few more days." By the way, let the kitchen cook something to eat, I drove for four or five days, and I didn't even drink hot water. ”

Xiao Zhao's attitude not only confused Shen Muqinghu, but even the eldest lady felt a little confused.

The two exchanged a confused look, and Shen Muqing hurriedly bowed to Xiao Zhao and went down to arrange the meal.

The eldest lady also sent the servants around her, and asked Xiao Zhao in a low voice: "But Xiao Shan ......"

Xiao Zhao's eyebrows were a little sad: "Sentenced to exile ......"

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's talk about saving my life." The rest can only be planned slowly. ”

Xiao Zhao sighed: "It can only be like this first." As he spoke, he sat up straight and said, "In two days, I want to go to Qingyuan with you, what do you think?" ”

The eldest lady was stunned: "Go to Yun Niang?" ”

Xiao Zhao nodded: "The fourth child wrote me a letter, saying that after the New Year, he will come back to report on his work." With the temper of the fourth daughter-in-law, she will definitely live in Nanxunfang, and when the time comes, we will be embarrassed here, and the daughter-in-law will also be embarrassed. Why don't you take this opportunity and go to Qingyuan to see Yun Niang. Speaking of which, Yun Niang married when she was only twelve years old, and the lord and wife of the in-laws treat her as if she were her daughter, so we should also go and see it. ”

"It's fine." The eldest lady frowned, "Yun Niang has set up a family affair for the eldest girl, and I don't think it's appropriate." Let's take advantage of this opportunity to help take a look. ”

"Extreme is ......"

The husband and wife were talking about themselves in the house, and they reached Shen Muqing's ears at night.

She couldn't help but have a headache.

Although she only had a one-sided relationship with Mrs. Four, she was deeply impressed by Mrs. Four's harshness.

Xiao Zhao stayed at home for a few days, and when Ziyang came back, he stayed for another five or six days, and then set off with his eldest wife to Qingyuan.

Shen Muqing had just sent the two old men away, and the letter from the fourth wife arrived, saying that the fourth master was going to Beijing to report on his work after the New Year, and she would take her son and daughter-in-law to live in Kyoto for a while, and wait for the master's future to be decided. Let her tidy up the house.

She couldn't help but be glad that Xiao Zhao and the eldest lady went to Qingyuan. Otherwise, it's really not easy.

However, the fourth wife dragged her family like this, and she really had to prepare early.

Shen Muqing commanded Ying Fan and Mingxia to sort out the main room and the west wing: "...... The fourth master and the fourth wife live in the main room, and the eleventh master and eleventh grandmother live in the west wing. ”

Ying Fan couldn't help muttering: "Grandma, if the fourth master's errand can't be settled, won't their family have to live and not leave." ”

"They are my mother-in-law and father-in-law, and they should live and not leave." Shen Muqing looked at the furnishings in the room.

"I'm a poor lady!" Ying Fan said in a low voice, "If the fourth wife has been living here, then wouldn't the eldest lady have to go back to Jinzhou." ”

"There's no way around that!" Mingxia sighed, "If the fourth lady deliberately doesn't make the eldest lady feel good, even if the fourth master's errand comes down, she can continue to live here and not leave?" If you become a Beijing official and stay in Kyoto, it will be even more difficult. ”

Shen Muqing also had no choice: "I can only take one step at a time." Let's talk about it then! ”

Having said that, she wrote to Xiao Sa: "...... I did my duty as a daughter-in-law, and the fourth wife and the eleventh grandmother lived in my place to be more lively, but I didn't know how to arrange the eldest wife, and I was even more afraid of hurting the eldest wife's heart, and I didn't know what to do! ”

Xiao Sa replied but said vaguely: "I know your intentions." You pretend to be deaf and dumb about this. I'll discuss with the eldest master and the fourth master. ”

Shen Muqing put his mind at ease and devoted himself to preparing New Year's goods and New Year's etiquette, but he didn't expect that on the day of Laba Festival, the fourth wife suddenly appeared in Nanxunfang with the eleventh master and the Huang family, and when she entered the door, she looked inside and outside the Sizhi Courtyard as if she was visiting a garden.

"It is not a garden of royal gifts." The fourth wife sat on the big kang near the window and drank a sip of hot tea under Shen Muqing's service, "I was afraid that there would be a cold spring after the New Year, so I came early." You can't blame me, do you? ”

Who would believe this reason......

Shen Mu cleared his stomach and said with a smile: "What did my mother say." There are many people in the family, and the New Year is also more lively. You and your younger siblings can come early, I'm too late to be happy, how can I have a strange heart. As he spoke, he stepped forward and took Huang's hand, "We have to get together well." ”

The fourth lady did not show a happy or relieved expression, but nodded noncommittally.

Shen Muqing hurriedly asked Yueying and Ziyang to come forward to greet the fourth wife.

The fourth wife looked at the two children with pink makeup, glanced at Huang's abdomen with a somewhat gloomy expression, and then rewarded the two children with a cold look A few gold bills, and then asked Shen Muqing to retreat with the children under the pretext that the journey was hard and his body was a little tired, leaving only the Huang family to serve by his side.

The eleventh master of the Xiao family is handsome, and there are several similarities between his eyes and Xiao Sa. He stood there with a smile on his face, but his gaze flickered and made people feel very insincere.

"Seventh sister-in-law, this is a niece and nephew, right?" As he spoke, he took out two small windmills from his sleeve and handed them over, "This is what I bought for my nephew, and I hope my sister-in-law will not dislike it." ”

Shen Muqing asked the two children to pick up the windmill, saluted the eleventh master, and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Eleven." If Uncle Eleven needs anything, just tell Yinliang to do it. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't say it, I forgot." The eleventh master rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile, "I just have something to find Yinliang." ”

"Then I'll take the baby back to the room." Shen Muqing immediately answered, and without waiting for the eleventh master to say anything, he took the children back to the east wing and called Chang Hui: "...... I don't think he's looking right. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of just in case, and the safety of the two children will be handed over to you. ”

Chang Hui nodded: "Don't worry." If he dares to beat the idea of two children, I will let him come and go. ”

"It's not that serious." Shen Muqing smiled, "I just think this person makes people feel uncomfortable, and I don't want him to have more contact with the children." lest he have anything to affect the child. ”

Chang Hui groaned: "Do you want to check on him......"

"What if something is found?" Shen Muqing shook his head, "Let's just be careful." ”

******

At dusk, Shen Muqing went to serve the fourth wife for dinner, and saw that Huang's eyes were red, as if he had cried.

"Why didn't you bring your niece and nephew?" The eleventh master smiled, "The two children are so beautiful. I love it when I look at it. ”

"The child is too young." Shen Muqing smiled, "I don't look like a ...... when I eat."

"The more this is the case, the more we must teach it well." The fourth wife, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly ordered a little girl with clear eyebrows beside her, "Zaoxiu, you go and talk to the maid in front of Grandma Seventh and bring the two children over." Eat with me in the future. As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Muqing, "You can't teach well, I'll teach you." ”

From the first time she saw Mrs. Four, Shen Muqing felt that Mrs. Four was a little targeted at her. Now the feeling is even stronger. But to be a *** to teach grandchildren, as a daughter-in-law can not refuse. She remained silent, simply replied "yes", and saw the jujube show walk out quickly. After a while, I brought Yueying and Ziyang.

The two children greeted the elders, and Ziyang was tired of Shen Muqing's side as usual: "Mother...... Hug! ”

Before Shen Muqing could hold Ziyang into his arms, the fourth wife said coldly: "How old is he?" Still in my mother's arms! Pampered like this, there will be a good one in the future! Zaoxiu, go, take the little master to the kang and sit down. Don't arch around in your mother's arms all day. ”

Zaoxiu responded, and immediately walked over and hugged Ziyang to the kang.
