Chapter 60: Wives and Concubines (3)
A helping hand?
Sun Wenpei was stunned and looked slightly uneasy.
Qin Taoxi saw that she was looking at herself silently, looking frightened, she raised her chin and smiled, and her hair was full of exquisite rings and emeralds swaying slightly.
"Sister, why are you acting like you're scared by me? My sister just said that she wanted to help you, not to eat you. Qin Taoxi finished laughing, glanced at Sun Wenpei, turned his head, picked up the teacup and ate the tea gently.
Sun Wenpei had a bad feeling in his heart, there was no friendship between them, how could the Qin family be so kind?
Qin Taoxi naturally had her own plans in her heart, and said slowly: "My sister heard that the uncle didn't rest at my sister's place last night, but went to the grandmother's room, didn't he?" ”
Sun Wenpei's face turned pale, and he pretended to be calm and said: "It's a good thing that the uncle loves the eldest and younger grandmothers......
When Qin Taoxi heard this, he smiled coldly: "My sister's personality is indeed docile, but it is just a little too docile. Her brows were lightly furrowed, and the expression on her face became a little sharp: "The eldest young grandmother, who was originally a concubine from an official eunuch family, has been more decent than you and me since she entered the mansion, and now, the old man and the old lady are now very fond of her, and once she is pregnant in the future, my sisters' lives will be even more difficult!" ”
Sun Wenpei glanced at her hurriedly, and then looked away: "The young grandmother has a gentle temperament, not like a person who can be pampered and arrogant." ”
Qin Taoxi pursed her red lips: "People's minds change, after a long time, white can also become black, and black can also become white." Before, how she targeted me everywhere, my sister must have seen it clearly. Shen Yuechen is a person who looks at the wind and clouds, but in fact, the city is extremely deep, and he quietly wants to trample everyone under his feet. Everyone can say beautiful things, but how many people in this world can do what they say? Sister, do you really expect that Shen Yuechen can level a bowl of water, so that our sisters can also share it equally? ”
Sun Wenpei didn't completely agree with Qin's words in his heart, after all, it was her rude first, and it was reasonable for Shen Yuechen to punish her.
Who knows, Qin Taoxi said and spoke, suddenly got up, slowly walked to the dressing mirror, looked at the bright and beautiful but unwilling face in the mirror, and continued: "It is easy to grow old and easy to change. Sister, if you want to fight, you have to fight while you're young! Otherwise, it's too late. ”
The woman in the house, young and beautiful is the biggest capital, to fight and fight, all in the past few years, when people are old and yellow, if they want to resist, they will only lose their lives, just like her biological mother Aunt Hu, who has fought desperately for a lifetime, and finally ended up with a miserable end...... It's just weird, she herself is not angry, and as a concubine, she has no son......
Qin's words seemed to sigh and knocked heavily into Sun Wenpei's heart, how could she not be so worried about the future days. I think that at the beginning, the uncle and her also had a lingering time, but later, his heart for her slowly faded, so that now, if he wants to meet, there are very few opportunities to talk.
After saying this, Qin Taoxi's intentions couldn't be clearer. She wanted to win over Sun Wenpei and let her deal with Shen Yuechen with her in the future.
Sun Wenpei didn't know what the Qin family liked about herself, but in the face of Qin's statement, she still felt a little inappropriate in her heart.
It's not that she doesn't want to fight, she just can't fight. At the critical moment, the Qin family still has her mother's family to support her, and she has nothing to ask for, if she offends Shen Yuechen, the consequences will definitely be ......
Seeing her hesitant appearance, Qin Taoxi snorted coldly in her heart.
I don't know how to lift! If it weren't for the fact that you still have a bit of a look, even if you kneel and beg me, I won't look down on you. Now, the Cao family has been willing to be a dog by Shen Yuechen's side, Shen Yuechen is naturally more proud, and if there is no more person by his side, his momentum will always seem a little empty......
Sun Wenpei was a little embarrassed for a while, nodding his head and agreeing, not agreeing.
Qin Taoxi had already prepared, clapped his hands, and showed that the waiting maid came in. The maids carried a few new clothes in their hands, as well as two or three delicate brocade boxes.
"These things are a little bit of my sister's heart, and my sister still likes it?"
Sun Wenpei looked at the new and gorgeous materials, as well as the crystal jade bracelets in the box, and secretly took a breath and said: "This is unacceptable, how can my sister accept such a valuable thing?" ”
Qin Taoxi got up and walked up to her, took her hand, and patted it, the force was not light or heavy: "Sister, you're welcome, my sister is beautiful, if it's not the best, my sister is embarrassed to take it out." ”
Sun Wenpei refused several times, but who knows, Qin Taoxi was so gracious that she put the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said with a smile on her face: "If my sister insists on not accepting it, she will look down on her sister." ”
Sun Wenpei felt that it was a little difficult to ride a tiger for a while, so he had to thank him with a smile.
The cold jade bracelet hangs on the wrist, cold and cold, as if it has been frozen to the heart of a person.
As the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth and a soft hand. Now, taking the Qin family's gift, it is tantamount to acquiescing in an alliance with her. In any case, I can't hide from it.
After coming out of Qin's house, Sun Wenpei immediately withdrew the bracelet on his hand. This thing is too conspicuous, and it would be nice for people to see it if they wore it back.
After returning to the house, Sun Wenpei's personal maid Sixi carefully touched the clothes sent by the Qin family with her hands, and said excitedly: "Miss, take a look, these are the best Yunjin." ”
Sun Wenpei glanced at it lightly, no matter how good it is, it is not rewarded by the uncle.
The blue gauze shirt she wore was made last spring, and she has always worn it and is reluctant to leave, just because her uncle once said that she looks good and is very delicate in blue clothes.
The Zhu family has never treated her harshly, but they have never treated her well, although the monthly portion of the silver is not good, but there are too many things that need to be taken care of in the mansion, and she has to be careful every day. She has never hoped for any jeweled life, she just hopes that the uncle will not forget herself and hate herself.
Fang Cai looked at the things Qin Taoxi wore on his head, and the clothes on his body were all beautiful and delicate precious things, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy. is also a concubine, but her identity is high, she admires Shen Yuechen's good life, and she also envies the domineering of the Qin family...... Now, she has been pulled into the water by the Qin clan half-pushed and half-pushed, and if she doesn't fight, she will lose, it is better to fight!
Qin Taoxi secretly and quietly wooed Sun Wenpei, while the Cao family was wholeheartedly stammering with Shen Yuechen, intending to let Zhu Ying follow Shen Yuechen to learn calligraphy.
Shen Yuechen thought that she was a little child, and it would not be in the way to stay by her side, so she nodded and agreed, promising to occasionally take time to teach Zhu Ying to write.
When Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, and his calculations were even worse.
In the afternoon of this day, Shen Yuechen sent someone to bring Zhu Ying over, there was already a prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the bookcase, and there was tea and snacks on the table of the Eight Immortals next to him.
Shen Yuechen called Zhu Ying to him, touched her little brain, and asked with a smile: "Have our sister Ying ever been literate?" ”
Zhu Ying had just taken a nap, her little face was still red, and she said in a milky voice: "My aunt taught her daughter a few words of the "Three Character Classic", does the mother want her daughter to memorize it?" ”
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Okay, come back to your mother." ”
Zhu Ying stood up and carried it in style.
Shen Yuechen listened with a smile, and Chun Ming and Wu Ma also looked at Zhu Ying with a smile, only to feel that she was very smart and lovely.
Zhu Ying memorized the book, and Shen Yuechen immediately applauded and praised, and personally took the cake and fed it to her.
"Sister Ying, can you write your own name?"
Zhu Ying nodded: "My daughter will write." ”
Shen Yuechen took her little hand and walked to the bookcase, held her on her lap and sat down, and asked her to pick up the pen and write her name.
Zhu Ying held the brush slightly awkwardly and wrote his name stroke by stroke, but when he wrote the word "Ying", he fell into three points of water.
Shen Yuechen immediately took the pen in her hand and replenished the three points of water.
When Mama Li came in, she happened to see this scene and was slightly stunned, but then greeted her with a smile and said, "Grandma is so Yaxing." ”
When Shen Yuechen saw her coming, she hurriedly got up to greet her, and did not forget to hold Zhu Ying's little hand.
Mama Li blessed her body, beckoned the maid behind her to come in, and saw the maid holding a bowl of steaming soup in her hand.
When Master Hu left, he left a prescription, and Li ordered someone to boil the medicine according to the prescription, and also asked Mama Li to send it in person, and watched Shen Yuechen drink it.
It was also a tonic, the same bitterness and hard to swallow, Shen Yuechen cheered up and drank the decoction cleanly.
Zhu Ying just smelled the smell of medicine, so she frowned, pouted and said, "Bitter, so bitter, so bitter." ”
Shen Yuechen drank the medicine and was sick to her stomach, Chun Ming brought her tea to rinse her mouth, and brought candied fruit to relieve her suffering.
Mama Li looked at the medicine bowl that had already seen the bottom, and retreated contentedly.
Zhu Ying then gently pulled Shen Yuechen's sleeve and asked childishly, "Is my mother sick?" Why drink medicine? ”
Shen Yuechen smiled and shook his head: "I'm not sick, those are just tonics, nourishing the body." ”
Zhu Ying didn't know why, thinking that only sick people should drink medicine, so she immediately picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Shen Yuechen's mouth, "Mother eats cakes, eat more, and your body will be strong." ”
Wu's mother smiled helplessly and took the cake in her hand, "Grandma has just taken medicine and can't eat." ”
Shen Yuechen held her in front of her and held her little hand: "Sister Ying is so well-behaved, it really hurts." ”
When Zhu Ying heard this, she grinned, raised her little face and said: "The child is the mother's daughter, so naturally she has to feel sorry for her mother and be her mother's intimate little padded jacket." ”
What a sweet little mouth. It seems that the Cao family usually pays a lot of attention to her.
As a concubine, she naturally has to be sensible earlier. It's really hard for Cao's hard work.
Shen Yuechen smiled lightly, touched her little face, and said gently: "Let's go, my mother will teach you to write." ”
