Chapter VIII
When Red Sleeves was thinking about when he could go back to the room, Old Marquis Shen looked at her and said softly: "You can come to our Shen family, you can be regarded as the benefactor of our Shen family, and I think the fifth brother is in good spirits today, and I want to thank you even more; You are very young, and you are very reluctant to leave home and your parents, you can rest assured, our Shen family will not treat you lightly; The old lady and I will treat you like girls in our family; What do you ask for in the Shen family, or what grievances have you suffered-" He said here and glanced at the people in the hall: "You can come to me directly, and I will be in charge with you." ”
Red Sleeves didn't expect Old Marquis Shen to say this, she was stunned for a moment before she went down and thanked Old Marquis Shen; But the pressure in her heart is even heavier: it seems that this Shen Mansion is really not easy to mix.
"Ahem, I promised your father that if you enter the door of our Shen family, our Shen family will ensure that you have a good life; Just like our old marquis said, our Shen family will not let you suffer the slightest grievance; Although you regard this place as the general's mansion, and my wife and I as your parents, you don't need to be restrained. "The person who spoke was Shen Miaoge's father, Shen Houye.
Red Sleeves was blessed again, but she didn't say anything: although these people kept saying nicely, there were still two concubines kneeling in her house! It is said that there is one more that will come in a few days - can this also be called not being wronged at all? What's the use of saying good words, she will say good things too.
Therefore, although several important masters of the Shen family were very friendly, Red Sleeves still didn't believe that the Shen family had any kindness to her.
However, those two concubines are still kneeling, right? If you kneel until she returns to the room, well, let them go first: kneeling can be regarded as collecting some interest, as for calculating the general account, but you have to find the masters behind them to calculate it.
The ancients paid attention to starting from the beginning, so no matter what Red Sleeves thought about Shen Miaoge, a male baby, when she and him grew up, they would be husband and wife, and there was no change in this matter; Therefore, for the sake of her own lifelong happiness, when Red Sleeves saw the two concubines in the morning, she decided not to be a virtuous and virtuous wife - want to take a concubine? No!
Red sleeves thinks that she is a very reasonable person: she does not ask the other party to fall in love with her, nor does she ask herself to love the boy, she only asks her and him to be like all ordinary couples in the world, no love but family affection, and can live a plain life together for a lifetime; That's enough.
Say Red Sleeves is selfish? Yes, she was a little selfish; But she just wanted to live, and live a little better—she didn't want to hurt anyone, and she didn't want to hurt anyone, but she didn't have the virtue of letting her husband out.
Although Red Sleeves answered everyone's words, her mind had already flown to the two concubines in the room: she had to think of a way to get these two people away.
It's just that now she doesn't know much about the Shen Mansion and can't act rashly; Moreover, Shen Miaoge is not very old and in poor health, so there is no need to worry about this matter. Before that, she needed to do a lot of things, such as: if a woman wants to speak at home with a "loud voice", she must not only have means and scheming, but more importantly, she must have money and money that belongs to the woman alone.
Well, how can she get rich? Redsleeves' mind has drifted a little far.
"I don't think the fifth brother is in good spirits, so let's let them go back; In more than an hour, the in-laws should also come, and we must also prepare, don't be rude to talents. Old Madam Shen opened her mouth gently.
For the first time, Red Sleeves felt that Old Madam Shen's serious face was not very ugly: after looking at it for a long time, it would give birth to a bit of kindness; At that moment, Shen Miaoge saluted and retired with red sleeves.
Back in the room, the two concubines really knelt in place; Although they were also tired, they moved slightly from time to time, but they never got up; This made Redsleeves a little strange, because when they came in the morning, Redsleeves clearly saw the word contempt on their faces.
When Red Sleeves saw the two concubines like this, his heart became a little playful; She thought for a moment and said softly, "Get up." ”
The two concubines thanked Red Sleeves softly, and then got up from the ground.
"I don't know which of you is yet, so tell me about it, lest the next time you come, I won't know how to call you." Redsleeves waited for them to get up, but said an innocuous name.
A concubine was neither humble nor arrogant: "The third lady gave the concubine the name Yicui." After hearing this, Red Sleeves moved slightly, glanced at the concubine who answered, and just hummed softly: The concubine really doesn't put her in her eyes, she has been kneeling for so long, and she is still the same, without the slightest fear.
The other concubine was the same, without showing the slightest timidity: "The name of the concubine was given by my aunt and grandmother, and her name is fragrant." ”
Spice up? Hearing this, Red Sleeves glanced at the concubine with deep meaning: This name is interesting! Moreover, the aunt and grandmother of the Shen Mansion are even more interesting! Red sleeves, incense - that's not interesting enough?
Before the red sleeves could make a move, Shen Miaoge had already shouted in a deep voice: "You are so bold! Come on, give me a slap! The person he was referring to was the one who had Tian Xiang.
Immediately outside the door, two daughters-in-law came in, stepped forward and twisted the little concubine, stretched out their hands and opened it: because Shen Miaoge didn't say how many hits they wanted, they didn't drink it, they just blindly beat it.
"Alright." The red sleeves are a little unsightly to see this kind of scene, but after four or five times, the concubine's face has become red and swollen: in her previous life, it is illegal to beat people like this.
Shen Miaoge looked at her when she heard this, but she didn't say anything, just waved her hand and asked the two daughters-in-law to retreat; Then he said no more, but looked at the red sleeves; His meaning is very clear: I am angry for you, but you don't let you beat people, then you will deal with it.
Red Sleeves was a little amused when she saw Shen Miaoge's appearance, but at the same time, she was also lightly relieved: when she just went out to greet the elders of the Shen family, she really couldn't feel that he was still a child; At the moment, he is a little childish.
"If you want to be beaten, both of you should receive it;" As soon as Red Sleeves spoke, he sent one not to the two concubines: "Do you know that you have made a big mistake?" Although Little Red Sleeves didn't learn much of the rules in the general, she was still forced to learn a lot of things when she got married, and Red Sleeves relied on one of them to attack these two concubines: "Since you have opened your face, you are already a woman, where do you get your name; Didn't you have a last name? ”
After listening to the words of the red sleeves, don't say that the concubine who was beaten, even the person who was not beaten also had a red face; Because in this era, the name of the girl's family cannot be said casually, and people who are not particularly close to her cannot be called by the girl's name; Even after she gets married, she can't show her name, in this era, there is only one kind of woman who shows her name, and that is the Qinglou woman.
The two concubines originally wanted to mention the red sleeves with their names: they, but they were given by the elders of the Shen family; I didn't expect the demonstration to fail, but I was caught with a sore foot.
Although Red Sleeves didn't say a word unpleasant, the two of them were extremely embarrassed, so they had to kneel down and admit their mistakes; However, the two of them are still neither humble nor arrogant, and they are not afraid of her because Red Sleeves is the daughter of a general - in fact, Red Sleeves doesn't know it yet, General Huaide's official position is not big, and he is just a fourth grade.
There is a saying that the prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, so it is normal for the people of this Hou Mansion to look down on a four-grade general: from the point of view of the family, it is indeed a red-sleeved "high climb".
Another reason why these two concubines are so calm and relaxed is that they were rewarded to Shen Miaoge by their elders: they are different from the concubines brought by men and their wives, and they are higher than other concubines, because it is a matter of "filial piety".
"The concubine's original surname is Qian." The little concubine who leaned on Cui said.
"The concubine's original surname is Wu." The one who gave Shen Miaoge to her aunt said.
"Qian, Wu, you will remember your identity in the future, if you do something wrong, say something wrong, break the rules, it is a small matter, but if you lose the dignity of the Shen family, it will be a big matter." Red Sleeves didn't reprimand them loudly: she had just married into the Shen family, no matter what it was for, now was not the time to scold the servants and concubines.
Qian and Wu both agreed, no matter what they had to hold onto, after the red sleeves were pressed down one after another, they could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes; And they originally planned to find the original master to cry, but now they have dispelled their thoughts - if they really come to the master to argue, as soon as the new Shen family and daughter-in-law open their mouths, it is strange that they are not stripped of the skin by the original master.
Because of this, the two concubines regretted a little, they should have gotten up early just now, and they shouldn't have knelt down until the fifth master came back: besides, the fifth master didn't see half of the pity, they really miscalculated.
Red Sleeves didn't want to pay much attention to them, as soon as today was not the time, and the future party was not in a hurry at this time: "Just write it down, you can go back; In two days' time, when I will have someone call you, it will be good for you to come up again and serve. For these two days, you should think carefully in your room about what you have done wrong—don't say the wrong thing or behave badly in front of people in the future, and I won't spare you so much next time. ”
Qian and Wu's faces changed color slightly, and they both agreed to kowtow and go down.
Shen Miaoge's eyes widened, and he looked at the red sleeves and felt a little incredible: just a few words made the two concubines disgraced and didn't say anything, and although they didn't say it explicitly in the end, what is the difference between them and grounding them?
The concubines didn't get half a penny, not to mention, even if they were not convinced, they couldn't say that half of the red sleeves were bad in front of any master of the Shen family - this was what made Shen Miaoge admire.
