Chapter 1 Coming, Sending Off!
Mrs. Shen had been sleeping peacefully for two days, but Red Sleeves had already settled down in the Shen family's old mansion. In the past two days, she has not only met Mrs. Shen and Shen Miaoge, but her mother Zheng Jiang has also come.
However, after hearing that her daughter was pregnant, Zheng Jiang's family did not comment on the Shen family's affairs, except for almost living in the Shen family's old mansion: she guessed how much Red Sleeves was thinking; Moreover, Shen Miaoge and Mrs. Shen did treat their daughter very well, so she let her daughter decide.
General Zheng was naturally on the way back to the court, and he didn't know about his daughter: Red Sleeves didn't worry about General Zheng, and her father had always acted in a very measured manner.
However, after two days passed, more people came to the Shen family's old house: the wives of the Shen family's various rooms and the second master Shen had come; Naturally, he was invited by Mrs. Shen to be a lobbyist.
The red-sleeved entertained all the lobbyists with good food and drink, but did not accept their persuasion: either "chaos" in other words, or to talk about him left and right; None of the people who came were really straightforward, so no one would try to persuade them - in the end, most of them gossiped for a while, and then went home after a while of playing in the Shen family's old mansion.
While entertaining the Shen family, Red Sleeves also mentioned her future plans to Zheng Jiang's family: she wants to open a teahouse.
Zheng Jiang did not object to the idea of Red Sleeves doing business, but just reminded her not to let the people of the Shen family catch a sore foot: the reputation of the "woman" is very important, and she must lose a big loss because of a small one.
Redsleeves nodded: "I understand." She smiled slightly: "The four young 'milk' and 'milk' of the Shen family are really businessmen - it can be seen that it is not that women are not allowed to do business, as long as they do not show their faces; ”
When she said this, she took Zheng Jiang's hand and said coquettishly: "Shen Sishao's 'milk' and 'milk' have the help of the rich shopkeepers, and I, Zheng Hongshou, will also have my own shopkeeper; Do you say, Mother? ”
Zheng Jiang smiled and pinched the nose of the red sleeves: "I'm about to be a mother, and I'm still like a child; Got it, my eldest lady, I'll pick a few safe ones for you. Her words were full of pampering.
The red-sleeved dowry originally had a shop, and Zheng Jiang thought that it could be opened after cleaning up: the teahouse is not difficult to open; She said that the shopkeeper's arrangement was very good, and she handed it over to the shopkeeper along with cleaning up the shop, and the red sleeves waited to see the account book every month.
She thought that this was the case with women doing business.
Red Sleeves rejected Zheng Jiang with a smile, she had her own ideas; Of course, the teahouse she wants to open is not the teahouse that Zheng Jiang thought it was: how many can you make in that kind of business? How can you be self-sufficient, let the people of the Shen family look up to you.
Zheng Jiang didn't expect her daughter to have other ideas, she asked two sentences, and the red sleeves just laughed but didn't speak, so she didn't ask; Just take care of the red sleeves, and you can't go out and do it yourself.
Red sleeves raised the baby under the care of Linghe, and entertained the visiting guests, and also met the shopkeeper given by Zheng Jiang's and told them what they should do.
Zheng Jiang's first followed the red sleeves every day, and then saw that her daughter was in the chest, and what she did was not against the way of "women", so she went: she didn't care about earning and losing, even if the red sleeves lost her, she could let her daughter "earn" with her own body, and she would not let the people of the Shen family look down on her daughter; It's just that she didn't say this to Red Sleeves.
Where does she think her daughter, who has been dancing with knives and guns since she was a child, might do business? It's just that he is angry with the people of the Shen family, so he acts like this.
After Zhao and the others heard that Red Sleeves was going to open a teahouse, Chaxiang was very happy: she was very fond of tea, and she had a teahouse at home, even if she couldn't show her skills, she could always "show" a few hands - the girl would definitely use her.
When Zhao and the others heard about it, they were opposed: How could a woman's family show her face? How can you go about business? However, when I heard that Zheng Jiang's family had agreed to this matter, he did not persuade Red Sleeves, but carefully maintained their girl's reputation everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, the first few days passed in a hurry, and the triumphant army finally entered Beijing: the first to arrive was General Zheng, who was closer to the Beijing division.
Although Red Sleeves and Zheng Jiang missed it very much, they could only send someone to send food to General Zheng in Qili Pavilion outside Beijing: General Zheng had to go to Mianjun first, and return everything at the border pass, and only after the emperor's words could he go home.
Although Zheng Jiang and Red Sleeves could not step forward to greet General Zheng in person, the mother and daughter still went to the street and watched from a distance in the car as the soldiers embraced General Zheng into the capital: most of the soldiers were stationed outside the city.
Seeing that General Zheng and his party had gone away, Red Sleeves and Zheng Jiang returned home.
"Mother, is it a few days later, the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday?" Red Sleeves stopped Mrs. Zheng and asked.
Zheng Jiang looked back at the red sleeves: "Hey, do you remember this?" I have prepared a birthday gift for you, and I will send it to the palace when the time comes, so you don't have to worry. ”
Red Sleeves pursed her lips and smiled: "No need, my daughter has already thought of a birthday gift, but she must give it, and she can't give it if she doesn't send it." ”
Zheng Jiang is not at ease: The Queen Mother's birthday is not a joke, and the emperor and the Queen Mother are extremely happy to catch up with the great victory at the border pass, and they will definitely "" it very grandly, and they can't make a mistake.
That's if you're not careful, if you provoke the queen mother or the emperor to be angry, you will lose your life.
Red Sleeves looked at Zheng Jiang and said with a smile: "In two days, when my father returns home, I will show you the birthday gift prepared by my daughter-it will definitely make the Queen Mother and the Emperor happy." ”
Zheng Jiang left suspiciously.
On the afternoon of the second day, Old Marquis Shen's father and son also arrived at Qili Pavilion.
In addition to the food sent by Mrs. Shen, they also received food made by Red Sleeves herself: not only was it something for their father and son to eat, but it was also a way to get tired.
According to the default rules of this dynasty, the soldiers who go out to fight do not change their robes before facing the king; Therefore, their fatigue can only be washed away after the face.
Old Marquis Shen's father and son didn't know about the red sleeves, and the father and son, who ate extremely comfortably, also rewarded the surplus to the close generals, and heard everyone praise them that the Shen family had a good daughter-in-law, and the father and son were very useful in their hearts.
And the Shen Mansion became a little restless with the return of Old Marquis Shen, especially Mrs. Shen.
She couldn't sit still any longer, and finally ordered someone to arrange a carriage, regardless of her "identity", to personally invite Red Sleeves to return home; Mrs. Shen was busy welcoming the old marquis Shen's father and son back to the mansion and couldn't leave, and Shen Miaoge had already left the city and was not in the mansion.
Mrs. Shen didn't want to go alone, so she called the second lady and the seventh lady to accompany her; However, when she got into the carriage and thought of the decisive decision when the red sleeves left the house, she was afraid that the red sleeves of the old mansion would not give a good face, and she did not look good in front of the two concubines, so she asked the two ladies to help Mrs. Shen.
She arrived in front of the old mansion alone, got out of the car and walked to the gate: this is the Shen family's property, and she naturally didn't expect to make a noise.
However, she recognized this as the old mansion of the Shen family, but the people in the old mansion of the Shen family did not know her Mrs. Shen: she was stopped at the gate.
Mrs. Shen looked at the strange little girl who stopped her, and wanted to scold her, but finally endured it: I can't wait any longer, and I have to invite the red sleeves back if I say anything today.
She swallowed the breath raw; The girl on the side hurriedly spoke: "This is the wife of our old marquis Shen, the first order of the dynasty, come to see the five rare 'milk' and 'milk' in our house; You're new here, aren't you? I don't know Mrs. Tai, I can't blame you, hurry up and let the beginning lead the way. ”
When the two little guys heard about it, they bowed down with a smile: "I've seen Mrs. Tai!" Mrs. Tai invited me to serve tea here, and the little ones went back to our wife. ”
Mrs. Shen became angry when she heard this: Zheng Hongsleeve was really too deceitful, and a little junior actually let her subordinates treat her like this; However, thinking of the old marquis Shen, she still endured it, and followed the little maid to the house: the place to go is the gatehouse.
As soon as she took two steps, she heard someone calling her, and Mrs. Tai looked up: it turned out to be Zheng Jiang and Red Sleeves.
"Isn't this Mrs. Shen? What gust of wind has blown you here today, you are so condescending, our mother and daughter can't afford it. As soon as Zheng Jiang opened his mouth, he was sarcastic.
For the sake of her daughter, she did not go to the Shen family to theorize; But when she saw Mrs. Shen, she couldn't show the bearing that a noble woman should have: she is now a mother who cherishes her daughter and holds grievances for her.
Mrs. Shen was still relieved when she saw the red sleeves come out, but because of Zheng Jiang's words, her face sank; She finally remembered her purpose and didn't have a seizure.
"Sleeve, I'm here to see you today." Mrs. Shen said in a low voice, "How are you doing these days?" ”
"If you don't get angry in your Shen family, it's naturally good, and it can't be better; But Mrs. Lao was worried. No, no, look at me and say the wrong thing again, Mrs. Tai is right to worry about the child in my daughter's womb. Mrs. Zheng opened her mouth and had no good words.
The red sleeves looked at Mrs. Shen calmly: "Mrs. Tai came to see if I was okay, and now I have seen it, so I won't stay with Mrs. Tai more; Someone, send off! ”
She didn't say anything unpleasant to Mrs. Tai, but sent the guest directly.
didn't invite her into the house to sit, didn't serve a cup of tea, and drove her away as soon as they met: she really thought she was the owner of the Shen family's old mansion! Mrs. Tai's good temper and her low voice were finally exhausted.
She looked at Red Sleeves: "You are still from my Shen family, don't forget!" Do you do this to your elders? And you, that's how you taught your daughter, no wonder you taught something that didn't make sense! ”
Zheng Jiang didn't expect Mrs. Shen to come and invite Red Sleeves back, but she turned her face in two sentences, and scolded her daughter for being "something that doesn't work for four or six"! She is also the first order of the dynasty now: she was not afraid of Mrs. Shen in the first place, and now she is even more afraid.
"Who is scolding if you don't understand something? I have to write this down, and when I go back and ask the old marquis Shen to say goodbye, I want to ask - I haven't read a book for a few days, I don't know a few words, and I don't understand what 'four or six things don't understand'; I think that the old marquis Shen is full of poetry and books, and he should know it very well, and he will definitely be able to solve the 'confusion' for me and my daughter. ”
After Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves: "Come on, send off!" "Remember the permanent address of Q Pig Literature Station:, so that you can read it next time!
