Chapter 42 Blessings and Misfortunes Depend on Each Other
Although Mrs. Shen and Red Sleeves didn't find anything, Shen Sishao's grandmother has become virtuous recently, not only fulfilling her daughter-in-law's filial piety to the third master and his wife, but also being very good to Shen Siye; And he doesn't go out of the house much, and he doesn't seem to be interested in the affairs of the Shen Mansion. β
Shen Sishao's grandmother did this, which would only make Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge more sure that the eldest sister's illness was caused by her, but there was no evidence to think that the third old man and his wife would try their best to protect her, so the Red Sleeves couple temporarily suppressed their anger and treated her as usual.
And Shen Miaoge has already entrusted someone to find Shiqin's family: as long as Shiqin is found, the matter will be over; He didn't want to leave a man who wanted to kill his daughter in the house.
If the third room still insists on protecting Shen Sishao's grandmother at that time, then let the third room go out of the house and set up another door.
Early in the morning, guests came to the Shen Mansion.
Shen Miaoge didn't go out for this reason: because the winner was the husband of Miss Shen, they were finally willing to come to Shen's mansion; I just don't know if they're a good thing or a bad thing. If Miss Shen's fiancΓ© returns from the sea, it is natural to say that they have come to meet their relatives on a fixed day; If the man was shipwrecked at sea, did they come to quit their relatives, or did they ......?
Red Sleeves went to accompany Miss Shen, thinking that she was the most uncomfortable now.
However, when Red Sleeves arrived in Miss Shen's room, she could see her Mengxi writing in big characters with a calm face; Red Sleeves stood behind her and looked at the past, she wrote: The flowing water is ruthless, and how do you know that the falling flowers are intentional.
Red sleeves sighed softly, and stroked Mengxi's shoulder: "Sister, you ......"
Mengxi looked back and smiled: "When did you come?" These girls are becoming more and more unruly, and they don't even know how to come in and say something; Come, sit down and talk, how is the eldest sister today? I thought I'd go see her in a while. ββ
Red Sleeves looked at Mengxi and didn't speak for a while; After a long while, he said: "Sister, we are a family, you can say it if you feel uncomfortable; If you feel uncomfortable, you might as well cry, I believe that your grandfather and father will definitely make decisions for you. β
"If you don't make the decision for our dreams, my wife won't do it!" Shen Lao Zu came in holding the hand of the burning qin: "Mengxi, good boy, the old ancestor will not let people bully you."
Mengxi and Red Sleeves went over to help Shen Lao Zu sit down, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Old Ancestor, I'm fine." She also glanced at the red sleeves as she spoke, indicating that she was also relieved.
Shen Laozu let out a long sigh, looked at the red sleeves and said, "You still have a heart, you know to come and see."
Mengxi has been far worse than the previous years in the past two years: there is no news from her husband's family, so many people gradually look down on her; Therefore, the girls of the Shen family are also a little estranged from Mengxi, and which of their mothers dares not to listen to their orders.
Red Sleeves chuckled: "Didn't I live closer to my sister?" glanced at Mengxi and diverted the topic: "Old Ancestor can eat the soft cheese I sent today?"
The old ancestor nodded: "Well, it's very good; But you don't have to worry about me all the time, you also have to pay attention to your body; I'm thinking about having a few more grandchildren. β
This time, it was Mengxi who smiled and diverted the topic again, and the two of them finally appeased Shen Laozu and let her go back to the room with peace of mind.
Mengxi looked at Shen Laozu's car in the distance, and said faintly: "He, he should have come to get out of the marriage."
Redsleeves didn't speak, she didn't know what to say; And there is no news before, maybe people are here to get married? She persuaded Mengxi like this. β
Mengxi looked back at Red Sleeves: "Sleeves, if you are asked to be the fifth brother's flat wife and side wife, will you do it?"
Although Red Sleeves was a little stunned, she still shook her head: it is impossible for her to have a husband, this is her bottom line.
Mengxi looked up at the sky, and her voice was a little ethereal: "If you are asked to be your wife, but the fifth brother first marries her as a flat wife or a side wife, will you agree?"
She shook her head lightly without waiting for Red Sleeves to answer: "You won't agree, and I won't either." There are white clouds in the sky, and the sun is very good, not dazzling but it also makes me feel very warm.
It's just that this kind of warmth is not in the heart of dreams; Red Sleeves looked at her back, and her heart was sour: This is a woman, even if you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion?
What about his own daughter? Red Sleeves thought of her eldest sister, and she couldn't help but clench her hand: A good man is really hard to find in this world.
I don't know if Mengxi's sixth sense is very strong, or if she already knows something: the other party came with two purposes; They first apologized to the Hou Yefu, saying that their son almost died in a strong wind and waves at sea, and after being rescued, he was touched and married the other party's daughter.
They admit that it was their family who was sorry for Mengxi; Therefore, if the Hou Yefu agrees, let Mengxi be the wife, let the woman be the equal wife, and they are sisters commensurate; If the Hou Ye Mansion does not agree, then even if they can't live in the Hou Ye Mansion, they will be punished one by one, and they will have to withdraw from their relatives!
Hearing such words, can Old Master Shen not be angry? How could they still marry Mengxi: they planned to do so, the woman had an extraordinary influence on their family, and Mengxi could only be wronged in the past.
Old Marquis Shen immediately asked the other party to withdraw from his family, and then unceremoniously asked people to drive them out of the Shen Mansion
After hearing this, Red Sleeves looked at Mengxi and didn't know what to say: Mengxi is now twenty years old, and it is impossible to find a good family at such an age. β
If she finds the right person, she is either filling the house or having a flat wife, she is dragged down by her fiancΓ©'s family, and she will lose her happiness for a lifetime for the sake of such a marriage letter.
"Sister;" Redsleeves opened his mouth, but there was no sound after a call.
Mengxi turned around and smiled faintly: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Red Sleeves stayed with her all day, and was in a bad mood when she returned to her room; Shen Miaoge saw her like this, and she didn't ask her sister how she was, just looking at the red sleeves and he knew.
The next day, the people in the Shen Mansion were shocked: Mengxi dressed up as a layman! Is she indicating that she wants to become a monk?
Old Master Shen stroked Mengxi: "Silly boy, it's not your fault; It's our fault that we're the elders. "The family affair was set by them, and they never quit the family for the sake of face.
Mengxi still smiled quietly: "My parents are not far away, and Xi'er will practice at home and ask the Bodhisattva to bless our Shen family." After speaking, he knelt down gently, like a gray-white butterfly fluttering on the ground.
The red sleeves turned red with red circles and turned his head.
No one could persuade Mengxi to turn back, and Red Sleeves knew that she was not because she was sad, but because she was too gray
Although the people in front of Shen were not in a good mood, the sun and the moon still turned, and the capital ushered in a happy event.
The first tribute of the foreign fan was delivered, which was of course a major event and a happy event in the court; Moreover, this tribute is just in time for the triennial draft, and Beijing is really lively.
It's just that these bustles don't seem to have infected the Shen Mansion, Shen Laozu and the others are still in a hurry, and Mengxi is still reading and writing scriptures in the room.
The excitement in Beijing was also interrupted, because the concubine Niangniang fell ill: she was the emperor's aunt and had always been highly respected by the emperor. The imperial doctor tried his best to deal with the concubine's condition, but it did not improve, and the emperor sent back most of the show girls selected this time.
In order to bless the heavens, I hope to make the concubine's illness better; The emperor's determination is very great, and she will not stay with the show girl this time.
More than a dozen show girls who had been named by the Queen Mother and the Empress to stay in the palace were rewarded to the princes and ministers in the court without looking at them; Among them, the Shen Mansion and the Zheng Mansion are naturally indispensable.
The reason why the foreign people came to the court was because Hou Ye and General Zheng subdued those barbarians at the border pass, and they worked the most, and the show girls they got were relatively more than half.
The show girls were only selected by the people to fill the harem: they didn't have any big backgrounds, and these women were forcibly recruited into the palace just because of their good looks, which was also very pitiful.
Shen and Zheng were not happy because they were rewarded, especially General Zheng was even more sad: his son was still too young, but he had no intention of taking any more concubines, how should these show girls be placed in the mansion?
Marquis Shen is better: his father is old, of course he can't take concubines anymore; Only he and his son took it. Of course, the emperor's reward cannot be said to be unwanted.
The show girls given by the emperor are naturally different from ordinary women, they first live alone in a courtyard in the Shen Mansion: although they are only accepted as concubines, because they are given by the emperor, there must be a ceremony and be more grand.
Such a concubine, as long as she is not a person who is so that she is confused, will not like it: her status is not too high, and she is not a flat wife or a side wife; be a concubine, but you can't beat or scold; If a wife is not a wife or a concubine, it is obvious that the house will be restless.
In Shen Miaoge's opinion, there has been no good thing in the Shen Mansion recently: my sister divorced, and then the emperor inexplicably gave a few show girls - he didn't dare to say that he didn't want to be lewd.
Red Sleeves didn't say anything, she and Shen Miaoge sat speechless after knowing this; Is Shen Miaoge's concubine accepted this time7No, there will always be a son, there will always be a son.
Their husband and wife have experienced so much, and they are not far from the happy days they want, how can they be ruined by two show girls? Redsleeves is reluctant to accept his fate: what has become of that previous insistence?
"Let's put it off first, and we can always think of it." Shen Miaoge comforted Red Sleeves: Even if he really wants to take a concubine, he will never want to take two show girls as concubines.
After thinking about it for a long time, Red Sleeves suddenly remembered something, but she was afraid of remembering it wrong, so she asked Shen Miaoge: "Did the holy oracle say that what did you do by rewarding a few show girls to our mansion?"
Shen Miaoge shook her head: No. However, what else can the palace do to reward women, who dares to let them be the maidservants in the palace - they are the emperor's maidservants! But yes, they can't be used as wives, they are just ordinary people, so one by one. β
Red Sleeves laughed when he heard this, and Fu Er whispered something to Shen Miaoge: "What do you think?"
Shen Miaoge thought for a while: "It's not impossible, but we can't just do it; Well, my father-in-law also has a headache, and ββββ Lian Wangye, he got six!"
Red sleeves pushed him: "Then you change and go quickly, I think that Lord Lian will be very happy to see it now; Well, maybe you'll be rewarded by Lord Lian. β
Shen Miaoge teased the red sleeves: "Reward? If Prince Lian rewards me with his six show girls, will he accept it for his husband or not? β
The third is more presented. See you tomorrow, dear. Thank you for your support, thank you. Well, after the results of the review come out, if there are no accidents, I think we can finally add more changes.
