Chapter 4 The aunt is not close
This is her aunt, she has never known what she did wrong, why her aunt is so unkind to her. I can't think about it, so I can only turn the page and skip it.
The concubines of Liu's Mansion also have aunts, and they can't get close to them because of the rules, but in private, those aunts do everything for their daughters, stealing silver and giving food and jewelry, as if only they have them are given to them.
Shen Yinqiu looked at Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu was also looking at her, and only said for a while; "Well, you've grown up and aren't as ugly as you were when you were a child."
Shen Yinqiu had a heart attack, and Qianyun Qianshui, who accompanied her, didn't know what kind of expression to use...... Has their young lady ever been ugly!
Aunt Liu didn't seem to have anything to say to her daughter, and waved her hand impatiently: "Have you seen the old lady and the lady?" What does it look like to come to me. β
Qianshui's expression improved, and the aunt was not helpless, so she knew to remind the young lady to go and see Mrs. Shen first.
Shen Yinqiu couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart, and just as he wanted to answer, he was poured cold by a basin of cold water.
Aunt Liu said; "When don't you come, it's just when I take a nap, you are not small, you know the importance of a woman's appearance, this sleep is disturbed, at least anxiety, and at worst fine lines. I don't blame you for the first offense this time, don't come and bother me if you don't have anything to do in the future. β
The tone of disgust, the expression of not caring, Shen Yinqiu was silent.
The two were silent for a few breaths before Shen Yinqiu left.
It's really an unpleasant homecoming day, either secretly arrowed, or eaten behind closed doors or annoying.
No matter how Shen Yinqiu pretended to look away, it was just a fourteen-year-old girl's house, and as she walked, she thought of her grandmother who was far away in Jiangnan, her eyes were quietly red, she stopped and raised her head.
Qianyun looked around, and saw that no one hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help the master wipe the golden bean road; "Miss hold back, it's nothing! The old lady told you that tears should be used on the right path, have you forgotten? β
Shen Yinqiu took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath and said; "It's just that I haven't rested well for a few days, so my eyes are sore."
Qianyun Qianshui did not dismantle the stage, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, Miss is tired, I want to rest well tonight." β
Shen Yinqiu snorted lightly, straightened his waist and walked forward.
In the evening, at dinner time, everyone in the Shen Mansion arrived, and Shen Yinqiu was also summoned by the old lady to the hall, and before the food was served, Shen Yinqiu sent the gifts to these elders and sisters one by one.
Qianguang prepared very well, no one was left behind, Shen Yinqiu was heartbroken, and the result was ...... Everyone's expressions were faint, but the old lady said that your grandmother has a heart.
This is the end of the matter.
Shen Yinqiu's face did not change, and the corners of his mouth smiled, as if he had not received any blows.
She ranked second, and even the concubine sat next to the concubine, and there were three concubines sitting next to her in turn. Aunt Liu also got the opportunity to sit down because of her mother's identity and Shen Xiang's favor.
Old Madam Shen seemed to love her granddaughter Shen Jinqiu very much, and the smiles at the dinner table were all directed at her. No one paid attention to Shen Yinqiu, and her father just looked at her more and ate with Aunt Liu.
The mother-in-law and Shen Jinqiu surrounded the old lady, and the remaining three sister-in-law looked at her with no kindness.
Shen Yinqiu finished this meal under great pressure, she really couldn't understand the atmosphere in this house, how sweet her aunt was with her father in front of the old lady, was it really good? Mrs. Shen could pretend not to see it......
Everyone sat in the front hall for a while, talking and laughing, Shen Yinqiu regarded himself as a transparent person, and sat silently like other concubines and waited for the elders to ask before answering.
finally ended, Shen Yinqiu almost fell asleep, and sent her mother and sister to help the old lady to leave, her father left with Aunt Liu, and her sister left together.
She didn't get up until the end, her face tired.
Qianyun Qianshui tightened the cloak on her body for her, helped her out, and when she approached the corner, she heard someone say: "How good is my grandmother, she is not an unpopular concubine in our family?" Do you really think you're the eldest lady! Look at the gift she gave us, the way she wanted to slap us in the face. β
"It's just that it's pitiful that you can't see your identity clearly."
"Have you ever seen her eat so slowly, and you really thought that someone would praise her?"
Qianshui listened to the voice and drifted away, stomped his feet angrily, clenched his hands into fists, and finally looked at his master worriedly.
Shen Yinqiu had a wooden face, and the so-called pretending in their mouths was a habit that was still engraved in her bones. In the end, it was night, the cool breeze was slow, she held Qianshui's hand and said, "Don't be angry, go back to the house, it's a little cold." β
Shen Yinqiu returned to the courtyard, but he didn't see the two maids and the little maid in the afternoon, and saw Qianshui waiting at the gate of the courtyard with a lantern, and his heart was warm.
When she got back to her room, she took off her coat and lay down on the bedβreading the notebook. The four maids sat in a circle in front of the bed, each of them was red, and the water was broken and whispered, holding grievances for her, but fortunately she would not be impulsive to cross the rules.
The candlelight reflected on their side faces was very beautiful.
Shen Yinqiu simply held her chin, watched them and listened to them, her feet dangling around.
Qianguang and the others looked up at Shen Yinqiu as they spoke, Shen Yinqiu gave them a big smile, and they couldn't find the north in a daze.
Qianguang took the lead in replying: "Miss, I have arranged all the people in the house on the periphery, and it is better for the four of us to wait for your personal affairs." β
Shen Yinqiu turned over and had no objection to Qianguang's arrangement. She covered the quilt and said, "I don't have to worry about your errands, you all rest early, and you will have to get up early tomorrow at five o'clock to say hello to your mother." β
Qianguang and the others responded, still talking around the embroidered girl. Shen Yinqiu was used to having someone by his side before he went to bed. I don't know when it fell, someone was talking by her side, and she slept soundly.
This night, she didn't sleep well, lying on this bed and dreaming of childhood abdominal pain, as if someone was calling, she struggled to wake up surrounded by four maids next to the bed, raised her hand to wipe her forehead full of cold sweat.
Qianyun stepped forward to help her up distressedly, "Miss, you have a nightmare." β
When she was three years old, the young lady was seriously ill, and she also cried out that it hurt, and begged Aunt Liu not to leave.
Shen Yinqiu got up, the sky was still bright, and he set off after getting dressed under the waiter of the maid, and met Aunt Liu who also came to ask for peace on the way. Aunt Liu only glanced at her this time and didn't pay attention to it again. Instead, he entered the house and cared about Shen Jinqiu, who came the slowest.
Ahh
Shen Yinqiu listened to them for a while, secretly wondering if Mrs. Shen wanted to use cold violence against her?
She was sitting upright and thinking to herself, when she suddenly heard her grandmother, who had been ignoring her, ask, "Yin'er, did you sleep well last night?" The mother didn't seem to have any energy. β
Shen Yinqiu felt that the dilemma came again, so he hurriedly cheered up and smiled softly at the loving face above: "Thank you for your mother's care, my daughter slept well last night." I was probably in a hurry before, and now I haven't adjusted a little. β
Mrs. Shen sighed, and then said hypocrisy to the few concubines around her who flattered her, and then looked at the maid Qianyun beside Shen Yinqiu and said, "Can you see the two maids that my mother picked for you?" They all know the rules. β
Shen Yinqiu nodded, anyway, the maid beside her was not changed. She typed out a draft and thought: "Mother is bothered, there are already four maidservants and two servants around her daughter, and there is no need for so many people to wait in the courtyard. β
Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Yinqiu and chuckled, "I forgot, Yin'er still has so many people waiting by her side, it shouldn't be like this, it's just that, it's the person you brought from your grandmother's mansion, and I can't handle it well." It's just that this kind of breaks the rules. β
Shen Yinqiu clutched a handkerchief under his sleeves, waiting for Mrs. Shen's next words.
But she didn't want Mrs. Shen to turn her eyes to Aunt Liu in the next second, Ying Ying asked, "What does Aunt Liu think?" β
Aunt Liu was slowly eating the dim sum on the table to cushion her stomach, and when she heard Mrs. Shen's words, she turned her head to look at Shen Yinqiu.
Shen Yinqiu was nervous and expectant, would her aunt speak for her?
Aunt Liu skipped Shen Yinqiu and looked at the maids Qianyun and Qianshui behind her, and said very casually; "If there are more people, subtract some."
Shen Yinqiu's heart sank.
Aunt Liu continued; "But these are all given to this girl by my mother, the deed of sale and the salary are not in my sister's hands, and we have no way to transfer back the manpower assigned to her courtyard at most?"
Shen Yinqiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at this very loose aunt again, and cooperated; "It's my daughter's inconsiderate thinking, and it should be so."
Mrs. Shen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said to Aunt Liu: "But there are only four maids in Jinqiu, and the concubines have a share, so the aunt won't be unclear?" β
Aunt Liu raised her head with an inexplicable expression, "Wouldn't adding two maids to Jinqiu's room be more than my sister's maids?" Is there a shortage of manpower in the house? Didn't she need those two maids? Can't you transfer Jin Qiu over? β
Shen Yinqiu's eyes were shining, wasn't her aunt a cold-faced and hot-hearted person? It's so heartwarming!
Mrs. Shen's face was completely uncontrollable, and the concubines around her who flattered her all held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound.
One is the prime minister's wife, and the other is the prime minister's aunt on the tip of his heart, this aunt is more beautiful than his wife, and her identity background is better than that of his wife. When the old lady couldn't see it, she scolded at most a sentence or two. Therefore, the wife is noble, and the concubine who gets the heart of a man is also delicate.
But there should be rules that the aunt still has to follow, such as the daily greeting. What's even more weird is that Aunt Liu seems to be enjoying it......
Shen Jinqiu glared at Shen Yinqiu with hatred, and hurriedly comforted his mother. This is going to overpower her low-low-sister-in-law, do you really think that you can get past her with the support of your grandmother? I don't know what to say!
Mrs. Shen stared at Aunt Liu in a vague way, this woman was just a straw bag, even if she said those back-to-back words just now, it was difficult for her to believe that the other party had opened her mind, and she had always been a stupid woman who could be coaxed by her in a few words.
Mrs. Shen saw the innocence and incomprehension in Aunt Liu's eyes, and her blood surged, the only failure in her life was that she hadn't killed Aunt Liu for fifteen years!
