Chapter 36: Aunties
Qin Taoxi didn't expect that Shen Yuechen would suddenly treat himself with such an arrogant and strange attitude, so that he couldn't get off the stage in front of everyone.
Shen Yuechen still didn't speak, just looked at the tea bowl in her hand, with a faint smile between her eyebrows, which made people guess what she was thinking.
Qin Taoxi could only keep kneeling on the ground, Shen Yuechen didn't open her mouth to let her get up, and she couldn't stand up without permission.
The room was silent for a while, and no one could guess what Shen Yuechen was thinking at the moment, in fact, the idea in her heart was very simple, that is, she didn't want to lose to the Qin clan in momentum.
Finally, Qin Taoxi finally couldn't help it, slowly put down the tea bowl, looked at Shen Yuechen with a resentful expression, and wondered: "Why is this the young grandmother?" Do you think the concubine is doing something wrong? ”
Shen Yuechen saw her asking knowingly, and sighed secretly, only to feel that although she was beautiful, she really didn't have any brains, and she wouldn't act on the spot.
Shen Yuechen raised her head and smiled lightly, looked at the Qin family, and said quietly: "My sister looks like a peugeot, but her mind is a little confused, my sister calls herself a "concubine" to give me tea, this seems to be very impolite." Also, when my sister served tea, the tea bowl was not raised above her head, which made people look very inappropriate. ”
Her tone was very soft, as if she was talking to her in ordinary homely words, but in fact, it was a hidden needle.
Shen Yuechen didn't mean to make her ugly, she thought that as long as she could be polite and thorough, her attitude was respectful, and she wouldn't hold on to it, but in front of everyone, she couldn't even do the most basic etiquette.
At this moment, this situation will undoubtedly make people feel that this is a demonstration.
When Qin Taoxi heard this, her face immediately turned red, where is she a person who doesn't know the rules and etiquette, but in the face of such a little girl who is younger than herself, she secretly holds an unwilling momentum in her heart, and she is not willing to bow her head so casually.
In front of Shen Yuechen, who doesn't look as good as herself, she really can't say the word "cheap concubine".
Qin Taoxi froze in place, while Shen Yuechen smiled and said lightly: "Mother Wu, the tea in Aunt Qin's hand is old, give her another cup." ”
Mother Wu answered, and then changed a cup of tea for Qin Taoxi.
Qin Taoxi hesitated slightly, then took the tea from Wu's mother's hand, and then cleared his throat and said, "Concubine Qin's Taoxi will give tea to the eldest young grandmother." ”
As she spoke, she silently lifted the tea bowl above her head, her face full of disbelief.
Shen Yuechen took it without moving, took a symbolic sip, gently put down the tea bowl, and instructed Wu's mother: "Sister, get up, Wu's mother will appreciate it." ”
Mother Wu took out the red envelope prepared in advance and handed it to Qin Taoxi, Qin Taoxi's hands trembled, bit her lower lip, slowly took the reward from Mother Wu, and then towards Shen Yuechen's blessing body. "Concubine Qin Taoxi thanked the young grandmother."
Qin Taoxi's actions naturally fell into Mama Li's eyes, Mama Li looked at Qin Taoxi's unwilling face, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly, as if she was smiling.
This Qin Taoxi has always been arrogant, and he was busy making a fortune not long after entering the door, which is really hard.
A concubine is a concubine, even if she is favored, she needs someone to knock her all the time and remind her, so that she can learn how to be cautious in her words and deeds.
Qin Taoxi stepped aside and looked at Shen Yuechen from the corner of his eye. There is no doubt that the first meeting of the two people gave each other a very bad impression, and it can even be said that they have formed a knot with each other.
Shen Yuechen had a slight upper hand, but she knew in her heart that the Qin clan would never give up with her.
After Qin Taoxi saluted, he silently stepped aside, kept a calm face from beginning to end, and stopped talking.
The other four aunts waiting behind her were all stunned by the scene of the two of them secretly fighting.
Unexpectedly, the young Shen Yuechen, who looks inconspicuous, is such a difficult person to mess with.
However, if you think about it carefully, since you can be a person who can be liked by the old lady at a glance,
Because Qin Taoxi was an example before, when the others were saluting, they didn't dare to act casually anymore and neglected this new lady.
Although Qin Taoxi was the latest to enter the door, her status among the aunts was the highest, thanks to the prominence of her mother's family, she could be very decent in front of the old lady, but the other four aunts did not have the innate sense of superiority in her, especially Aunt Wang, who used to be the little maid who served in front of Zhu Jintang and came from a humble background.
Except for the Qin family, which has the highest status, and the Wang family, who has the lowest status, the other three are all daughters of ordinary families, and they are favored by the Zhu family because of their good looks. Among the five, the eldest is Cao, she gave birth to a daughter for Zhu Jintang, and now she has just turned three years old, followed by Sun and Liu, both of whom are exactly twenty years old, and it is said that the female celebrity is doing very well.
The second concubine who came up to salute was Cao's family, she was medium-looking, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, first kowtowed respectfully three times, and then took the tea handed to her by Wu's mother, raised the tea bowl high and said: "Concubine Cao's Qiaoyun gives tea to the eldest young grandmother." ”
Shen Yuechen saw that the person who came looked honest, she was very satisfied, she liked honest people the most, and asked Wu's mother to give her a red envelope, and by the way, she said: "When you are free in the future, remember to bring Sister Ying to me to see." ”
Cao's daughter's maiden name is Zhu Ying, who has been raised by Qin Hongjuan's side, and as soon as Qin Hongjuan died, she was temporarily taken back by her mother Cao.
Qin's death made the Cao family feel pressure, and for the sake of her daughter's future, she had to hope that she could please Shen Yuechen as soon as possible.
When the Cao family heard that Shen Yuechen wanted to see his daughter, he was overjoyed and agreed again and again.
Shen Yuechen let her retreat to the side and stand, ready to meet the third concubine.
When Sun saw Cao standing aside, he slowly stepped forward and kowtowed to Shen Yuechen, with a smile on his face, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant. "Concubine Sun Wenpei gave tea to the eldest young grandmother, and wished the lady good health."
Shen Yuechen took her tea, looked at her carefully, and felt that she was the most outstanding among the five aunts, although she was not as luxurious as Qin Taoxi, but her appearance was definitely above the Qin family, with a slender figure, pretty facial features, and a pair of watery and talking eyes, and she was also the youngest, and she had been by Zhu Jintang's side for less than a year, so she was very favored.
Shen Yuechen had done some homework before, and she was very glad that Zhu Jintang only had a five-room concubine room, instead of countless concubines like his father and grandfather, and it took a lot of effort just to remember the name.
Because of Sun Wenpei's favor, Shen Yuechen's attitude towards her was a little more cordial.
After that, the Liu family and the Wang family came forward, compared with the previous ones, they were much inferior, neither too outstanding appearance, nor a likable character, and followed Zhu Jintang for many years, but they have not been able to add a son and a half daughter for him, so their status is low, and the Liu family and the Wang family themselves look a little shy and introverted, not much to say, and the etiquette is thorough, and they look like they are indisputable.
After such a greeting, Shen Yuechen was really tired, from morning to now, she has been busy meeting people non-stop, and her face is about to stiffen with a smile.
The Cao family has been in the Zhu family for the longest time, and he is also the most observant person, thinking that Shen Yuechen must feel tired, so he got up and said goodbye with interest.
She opened her mouth first, and the rest of the people also retreated in turn.
Qin Taoxi was the last to get up, and Mama Li followed out, walked outside and whispered a few words to her, as if to appease.
Qin Taoxi was not happy in her heart, and after listening to Mama Li's words, she couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and secretly felt a little proud.
I am the daughter of the Qin family in the end, even the old lady has never felt sorry for me in person, she is a little girl who has just entered the door, and the position of the lady in the main room has not yet been secured, so she is anxious to ride on my head, it is really a fool's dream.
Qin Taoxi walked back, and secretly made up his mind that he must have a good competition with Shen Yuechen in the future to see who can have the last laugh......
After they all left, Shen Yuechen sat at the table with his forehead and closed his eyes, not even bothering to pick up the tea bowl in his hand.
Mother Wu glanced at her, couldn't help but be a little worried, and called softly: "Miss, miss......"
Shen Yuechen closed her eyes and agreed.
Mother Wu stepped forward, saw that her face was tired, and hurriedly said, "Miss, if you are tired, go to bed and rest for a while." ”
Shen Yuechen nodded, slowly stretched out her hand, and Chun Ming followed to help her up, and put her on the bed to lie down.
Shen Yuechen was lying on the bed, only to feel that her whole body was sour, she turned her head to look at the maid waiting beside her, and ordered: "A few of you are also tired, go down and rest for a while." ”
Mother Wu answered, looked at Chun Ming and instructed, "You stay to serve Miss, you must serve well, you know?" ”
Chun Ming nodded, now she is a first-class maid beside her wife, and she must pay more attention to her words and deeds, and she can't easily let the subordinates of the Zhu family take advantage of the opportunity.
Tired and tired, Shen Yuechen lay on the bed but did not feel sleepy, what happened this morning was played over and over again in her mind like a movie.
Old Man Zhu's easy-goingness, Mrs. Zhu's kindness, Zhu Feng's indifference, Li's dissatisfaction, the unpredictable Aunt Wufang, and the maid in the courtyard, so many people, there are so many rights and wrongs, just thinking about it makes me feel tired.
By the way, there is also Zhu Jintang, her silent and cold husband...... Shen Yuechen sighed secretly, only to feel that his future was dark, and there was little hope.
Because of his thoughts, Shen Yuechen just lay down slightly, and got up after lying for less than half an hour.
Chun Ming sat on the edge of the bed and took a nap, heard the movement, hurriedly opened her eyes, saw that her wife was awake, and hurriedly called people from outside to come in and put on the water.
Shen Yuechen wiped his face with a handkerchief, applied a little powder, touched up his makeup, and cut his hair.
Chun Ming said softly: "It's still early, why did Madam wake up?" ”
Shen Yuechen took the tea bowl into his hand, and when he was about to eat tea, he paused in his hand: "Chunming, you go and invite Mama Li, I have something to ask her." ”
Chun Ming agreed and turned around and went out.
After a while, he invited Mama Li over.
Shen Yuechen invited her to sit down and eat tea together, and said half-loudly: "Mama, I want to see Brother Ming'er's child." ”
After Mama Li heard her words, she was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's because the old body didn't think about it enough, and I didn't think of bringing Brother Ming to you in advance." ”
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Mama, don't blame yourself, I'm a little anxious." ”
Mama Li said kindly: "Madame's motherly feelings, it is also human nature to miss her son." The old man went to the old lady in person and brought Brother Ming over. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she hurriedly said: "Mama, don't bother, the child is still young, so I'll go over in person." ”
Brother Ming is the only son left by Qin Hongjuan for Zhu Jintang, and he is also the great-great-grandson of the Zhu family, and now, he is also the son of Shen Yuechen in name.
