Chapter 223: Reminders (4)
Wu's mother once said that the real nobleman in her life is not her, but the eldest and youngest grandmother.
At the beginning, Wu's mother received Shen Yuechen's instructions and personally went outside to pick people, but she was selected.
She was fortunate that such an opportunity was not available to everyone.
Xiao Tao glanced at Shen Yuechen and found that she was also looking at herself with a smile, and couldn't help lowering her eyes slightly and lowering her head.
Xiao Tao didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately came to her and bowed. However, before her knees hit the ground, Shen Yuechen had already helped her with a smile, and her voice was soft like a March breeze: "The ground is cold, be careful of hurting your knees." ”
"Grandma Xie." Xiao Tao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then looked around again, still worried about someone nearby.
Shen Yuechen naturally knew what Xiao Tao was thinking, and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, you and I just met by chance today, even if we are seen, it won't be in the way." ”
Since she will come to see her, she has already prepared in advance, in case she is bumped into by someone, it doesn't matter, just say that it is a coincidence, and just say it.
Xiao Tao glanced at Shen Yuechen and said softly: "Last time, because the old lady and the ladies were there, the slave maid didn't have the opportunity to thank the eldest grandmother for her kindness, and I hope that the eldest grandmother is not strange." ”
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, walked to the swing where Xiao Tao had just sat on, and slowly sat down and said, "We have limited time today, so there is no need to say more about those polite words." You left a message to Mother Wu before, you must have encountered some trouble......"
Xiao Tao bit her lower lip and said hesitantly: "Last night, the cuckoo next to the second young master wanted to bully the slave and maid again, and brought the slave and maid a plate of fried and burnt cabbage that I don't know what was added. The slave couldn't bear it for a while, so she ......" she said this, pausing slightly, thinking in her heart what she should say next. So the slave and maid resisted, and the slave and maid deliberately injured themselves, wanting the second young master to punish the cuckoo. Pity...... It's a pity that the second lady suddenly arrived in time, and moreover, she was bent on favoring the cuckoo, so she was not punished at all, but only lightly ......"
For some reason, when Xiao Tao talked about these things, she suddenly felt stupid and stupid. She shouldn't have acted so recklessly, she should have thought it out and planned carefully.
Now, although she hurt herself and received the love of the second young master, it also made her situation more difficult.
Shen Yuechen gently swinged, her body shook slightly, she listened carefully and watched very carefully, at this time, Xiao Tao's face was full of grievances, which was pitiful.
Shen Yuechen thought about it carefully, and then said, "In this way, you have accidentally offended the second lady." ”
Her words were concise and to the point, and she said Xiao Tao's thoughts and worries in one sentence.
When Xiao Tao heard this, her face instantly stiffened slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything after all, just nodded silently.
Shen Yuechen listened to Xiao Tao's words, although her heart was tight, but she didn't feel too surprised. Just like she thought before, not to attract envy is mediocrity.
Xiao Tao is now being favored, and she is a newcomer, presumably not only those maids are jealous of her, but even the Chai family will be uneasy about her.
Shen Yuechen understands that bullying Xiao Tao is not Chai's purpose, what she wants is to suppress her, control her, and let Xiao Tao be a peaceful "vase".
Shen Yuechen sighed silently in his heart, and carefully looked at the little peach in front of him again. She stood there pretty, with a pair of watery, shining eyes, with the delicate and pure nature unique to a girl.
Such a woman who looks immature and innocent is now completely involved in these troubled rights and wrongs, and it is difficult to extricate herself. However, all this is due to fate, or to her.
Shen Yuechen then said lightly: "You are indeed not careful enough. The second lady is not a good person, if you offend her, your situation will only get worse and worse in the future, and it is estimated that you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die. ”
Xiao Tao's body trembled when she heard this, and she hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "It's all the slave's fault, the slave and maid made a big mistake recklessly for a while." Grandma begs you to help the slave maid, the slave maid really doesn't want to be harassed and bullied by them anymore. ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, her feet slowly landed, as if she wanted to get up from the swing.
Mother Wu hurriedly stepped forward to help, Xiao Tao also hurriedly stretched out her hand to help, who knows, her hand did not go up, Shen Yuechen had already stood up by herself, and then, directly helped Mother Wu's arm, and changed the topic: "What about the second young master?" How does Ershao treat you? ”
Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The second young master has always treated the slave and maid very well, and he believes that the slave and maid are innocent......"
Shen Yuechen listened, turned around and gave Wu's mother a look, Wu's mother immediately took out a small white porcelain medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Tao, and said: "This is a little bit of heart from the eldest grandmother, you take it, and keep it." ”
Xiao Tao hurriedly took the things in her hands, her expression was full of puzzlement, what she wanted was Shen Yuechen's help, but they gave her silver and a medicine bottle.
But what's the use of these things?
Shen Yuechen looked at her and said, "The silver is for you to dredge up the relationship." The maids and ladies who work in the courtyard look elegant on the surface, but they are all the same greedy on the inside. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind. This silver is enough to impress them with you. Speaking of this, she paused deliberately, looked at Xiao Tao, and said in a somewhat meaningful tone: "This bottle of pills is also prepared for you." These are all tonic pills, one pill a day, taken with warm water, this medicine can allow you to conceive a child sooner.
When Xiao Tao heard this, her eyes immediately widened, and she stammered in a tone: "What do you mean, grandma......"
Shen Yuechen saw that she looked frightened, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be afraid. As long as you are pregnant with the second young master's child, you will soon become an aunt, and you don't have to look at people's faces anymore, and you don't have to be bullied by people anymore. ”
Zhu Jinlun is about to get married, and the reason why Shen Yuechen will find him a lovely son at this time, the result he wants in his heart is nothing more than to make Zhu Jinlun's first child a concubine.
There is a world of difference, and there is a world of difference. Although Shen Yuechen was reluctant to agree with this, if she was not the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but just a concubine born to a concubine, then her fate was likely to be reversed one hundred and eighty degrees......
Zhu Jinlun's wife He Yalin, who is about to enter the door, is the daughter of an official family, and it is said that she is very favored in her mother's family.
Women of such a background are generally petite, arrogant and noble, and often have no one in their eyes and look at everything.
The marriage between the He family and the Zhu family, although it is intended to marry two families, but the He family still has a little condescension in this family business.
Just imagine, before He Yalin entered the door, Xiao Tao could conceive Zhu Jinlun's child, which was definitely not a good thing for the He family.
As a wife, as soon as she entered the door, she had to face the pregnant concubine next to her husband, and she was still a beauty. When such a thing happens, no matter who it is, even a saint will feel that his heart is blocked.
Shen Yuechen didn't want to kill anyone, she just wanted to distract the extra attention of the second room, so that they could take care of themselves, and they didn't have the energy to calculate themselves and Zhu Jintang again.
Everything is relative, there are good and bad, strong and weak, but this relativity will change with time and environment, become different, life is full of all kinds of challenges, no one will always be carefree.
Shen Yuechen found a beautiful woman for Zhu Jinlun, but it also created a lot of trouble for the second room. In short, everything is a long house, and everything is for yourself.
Xiao Tao lowered her head and no longer looked at Shen Yuechen, her face was slightly red, and her expression seemed to be shy and timid. She is no longer a girl who has no personnel, she understands Shen Yuechen's words very clearly, and she knows it very well, but she understands it, and it is still a little difficult to accept it for a while.
Shen Yuechen said seriously: "You are being favored now, so please tie the second young master's heart." As long as he is obedient to you, he can make the second lady helpless. And, you will soon find that your life will change as well. I think you're also a smart kid who knows what's best for you. The second young master is about to get married, once he becomes a relative, no matter how much he has you in his heart and how much he misses you, he can't snub the new lady. However, once you have his child, it is different. ”
Shen Yuechen still hopes that she will have a good result in the future, give birth to children for the Zhu family, be rich and safe.
"Come to think of it, Mama Wu can fall in love with you at a glance on the street, this is the fate between us. Since there is fate, then don't waste this fate in vain, and, if you can get ahead in the second room and become the real master, it is not in vain. ”
Xiao Tao glanced at Shen Yuechen, although she felt that it was still a little inappropriate in her heart, but she couldn't find a better way than this for a while, so she had to cheer up, and whispered to Shen Yuechen's body: "The slave knows." ”
Mother Wu took two steps forward, walked to Xiao Tao's side, and continued to advise: "What Grandma just said, you have to listen to it, you must not treat it as if it is the wind in your ears, and it is not a matter of fact." You must know that now in the Zhu family, the eldest grandmother is your only supporter. ”
Xiao Tao nodded again and again, and said busily: "The slave and maid will follow the teachings of the eldest grandmother and grandmother, and the slave and maid will not let you down." ”
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Now, you are alone in the second room, and there is no reliable person by your side. That's it, go back and I'll ask Mother Wu to choose a sensible girl for you to put in the flower room, and you can find an opportunity to let the second young master ask her over and let her serve you. ”
Now, she has offended the second lady, and she has to be cautious in her food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future.
Xiao Tao was about to nod, but she thought of Xia Jiu beside her, and said busily: "Thank you for your kindness, but the slave maid herself has already chosen a girl named Xia Jiu, and the slave maid thinks she is not bad......"
After last night's incident, Xiao Tao felt that she was still a reliable maid.
Shen Yuechen raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh? Really? Can you trust her? ”
Xiao Tao nodded: "When the accident happened yesterday, it was Xia Jiu who covered up the past for the slave maid." ”
Shen Yuechen smiled slightly and nodded slightly, "That's fine." Whether it's an old man or a newcomer, as long as you're loyal. However, when you talk to her together, you still have to know the severity and be careful. ”
Xiao Tao hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, Mother Wu has explained to the slave many times before. The slave will never talk to anyone about you, not a word. ”
