Chapter 175: Currying favor with the Wang family
Shi Miaoyu drank the medicine bitterly, and after sending Lin Siyu away, he lay on the bed and sighed.
Originally, Na Langzhong only prescribed medicine, but after her aunt came, she not only asked people to remove her fruit plates, but also forbade the use of ice cubes.
At this time, the room is as hot as a steamer, although there is a dutiful fan of Caihe, but it is also hot air that can't stand the fan!
Shi Miaoyu wanted to go crazy, but although the two maids were sweating, they followed Lin Siyu's words, and no one refused to let her eat even a bite of cold food.
is such a bitter appearance, and someone came to block her.
"The second master's family came back from outside Beijing, and they only arrived at the house in the afternoon. At this time, the second lady sent someone to question, saying that she would have dinner together in the evening, and asked if the eldest lady could appreciate her face. ”
Listening to the people's reply, Shi Miaoyu was really impetuous, and he didn't even remember who the second master was for a while, because he asked, "Who is that?"
She was also sick and confused, but the green branch was not confused, and first said to the maid: "You went back to the second lady, and said that the young lady had a fever, and it was not good to give them the illness." It's gone today, but it's time to meet in the future. ”
After the maid left, Lu Zhi smiled and said: "It's normal that Miss doesn't know much, after all, the second master is away all the year round, and he is not favored by the old lady, and he has returned to Beijing only a handful of times over the years, and you are afraid that you have not seen it a few times in total." ”
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then had a flash of inspiration and said, "It turned out to be him." ”
She was so confused that she had forgotten about that person.
This old Muyanghou has two sons, the eldest son Shi Qingsong is from the Wang family, and the second son is born to a concubine, named Shi Qingyao.
Because Lao Muyang died early, the Wang family didn't want to see the concubine, so he sent the concubine out in the early years.
That Shi Qingyao was angry, he earned his fame outside, and released a state official. Those who have celebrated the New Year and the holidays over the years have not come back or not, they have all given a festival gift.
Therefore, Shi Miaoyu's past and present lives combined, the number of times he saw these two rooms was about four or five times.
In her impression, Shi Qingyao seemed to marry a wife under the control of the Wang family in his early years, and she seemed to be the daughter of a petty official, named Li Yunliu. The name is very gentle, but the temperament is greedy and stingy, but it is very good to the husband.
This Yangyuan Bofu probably has no son, not only Shi Qingsong has no children under his knees, but even Shi Qingyao and his wife only have one daughter, named Shi Miaoqing.
In my memory, when Shi Miaoqing came back one of the few times, she got along with Shi Miaorou very well.
......
Shi Miaoyu figured out this, and became more and more disinterested in this family, because he said: "It's time for me to have a fever, they want to see me in the next few days, so in the name of my illness, just refuse." ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhi knew that his young lady didn't want to see it, but now that Yangyuan Bofu is smoky, the temperament of these two masters is not clear, and if it is rare, it will be less troublesome.
Thinking of this, the green branch answered softly, and seeing that Shi Miaoyu was a little tired, he covered the window and waited for her to sleep.
said that the Li family waited left and right, and they didn't see this niece come to ask for peace, but they got a few words from the maid, and they were a little unhappy.
Shi Miaoqing, who was on the side, complained directly: "The eldest sister is too ignorant, let's go back to Beijing all the way, even if she doesn't come to see her, why don't you even know how to give gifts, and she doesn't take us seriously, right?"
In previous years, when she came back, although her grandmother didn't treat them very well, when didn't the people in the big house pick up the best gifts and send them, why did they forget it this year?
Could it be that I think that my father will return to Beijing to report on his work, and I don't know what kind of official position he will have in the future, so he doesn't take them seriously?
Shi Miaoqing said her thoughts, and saw Li nodding a little on her mouth, and said softly: "You girl also has no sense of proportion, this is nonsense? ”
Li Shi is five years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and his birth is not bad, but his eyebrows and eyes are a little mean. Shi Miaoqing looks like her, but she is not as shrewd as the Li family, and she has been in the state and county for a long time, and she always has a little bit of childishness in her eyes.
At this time, when she heard Li's words, she suddenly made her eyes flattering and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will say it in front of you, and I will guarantee that I won't say a word when I go outside." ”
"That's good. ”
Li comforted his daughter, and then instructed his personal maid Chunlan: "You go and inquire, what happened in this capital." ”
The maid got the order and went out, while Li was busy placing the luggage he had brought with him.
This year is different from previous years, this year Shi Qingyao returned to Beijing to report on his work, and he will not know where he will go back next to take office until the emperor's order comes down.
Li has her own plans in her heart, and she hopes to be able to use this uncle's ability to do some activities, and it is best to let her husband stay in the capital.
After all, when her daughter is older, she will marry in the future. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and only then can daughters hope to get married.
By the time it was ready, it was getting dark.
Shi Qingyao went to Shi Qingsong's room and has not come back until now. Seeing that it was not early, Li dressed up his daughter again, and walked towards Wang's courtyard with Shi Miaoqing.
In all fairness, this mother-in-law is not good to her, she picks her nose and eyes every time, but the Li family has a request for others, and the Wang family is an elder, so she can only serve carefully.
In previous years, Shi Miaoqing would be troubled, but today the Li family has already made preparations, and told Shi Miaoqing to endure it later.
Who knew that after entering the door, the expected difficulties did not happen, and the Wang family, who had only raised his eyebrows coldly before, seemed to be a different person at the moment, beckoning to her with a pleasant face: "This is Qing'er girl, I haven't seen her for three years, but she is a big girl." Come over here and show Grandma. ”
Wang beckoned Shi Miaoqing to come over, praised a few words, and then took off a gold and jade bracelet from his hand and brought it to Shi Miaoqing's hand.
"Look at our Qing'er, at the same age as flowers, wearing this bracelet is better than my old bones. ”
Seeing Wang like this, Li's jaw almost dropped in shock, why did this mother-in-law's painting style suddenly change?
However, she has always been tactful, and immediately said with a smile: "Mother's words, but they have tormented us." Now this body bones and appearance, if you don't know, you must think that you and the concubine are the same age, where are the old bones?"
Hearing this, Wang's smile became more and more: "Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, and you are used to making the old body happy." ”
"What the daughter-in-law said is the truth, if you don't believe it, just ask your granddaughter, Qing'er, this child will never lie. ”
After she said this, as if verifying, Shi Miaoqing suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't it, grandmother, you are in the prime of life, but you are not old at all." ”
Shi Miaoqing has been pampered at home since she was a child, and she has always been the most good at coaxing her elders, but now their mother and daughter are working together to coax the Wang family.
And the Wang family also had the heart to be friendly with this concubine and daughter-in-law, so when she had an excellent attitude, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious after a while.
When it was time to eat, I heard the maid report and said: "The speculation that the master and the second master talked about in the study, saying that they wanted to have a few drinks, so they didn't come here for dinner." ”
Hearing this, Wang nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, tell them to drink less." ”
After the maid answered, she left, and Wang turned around and said, "Sure enough, they are two brothers, but they are speculative." It's okay if they don't come, let's talk freely. ”
Hearing this, Li immediately responded with a smile: "That's right." ”
The few people who ate this meal were comfortable, and after the meal was finished, Li Shi talked for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's not too early, my daughter-in-law will go back first, mother, you should rest early." ”
Wang was also a little tired, and dealt with her for a long time, and when he heard this, he gave them a few more instructions, and let them go.
After the others left, Wang put away the smile on his face and asked, "Song'er, are they still drinking in the study?"
"Back to the old lady, the lord and they haven't finished the banquet yet. ”
Hearing the little girl's words, Wang pinched his brows and said, "You go and let people instruct, Song'er's injuries are not good, don't drink too much." ”
This concubine just doesn't have long eyes, and he doesn't look at Song'er's current body and drinks together, is it possible that he wants to kill Song'er!
Wang's heart was in a state of flux, and he waved his hand to let the maid go down.
She has never been willing to see her concubine, but now she will suddenly change her attitude, just because there is really no one available in the house now, and Shi Qingsong has also talked to her, and the meaning of those words is to hope that the house can be harmonious and overcome the current difficulties.
After all, Shi Qingyao relied on his own ability to release his official position, and now although he has returned to Beijing, he is very likely to be promoted. Shi Qingsong has been scolded by the emperor a few times now, and he has restrained a lot, if he can make friends with Shi Qingyao, it can be regarded as a great help for himself.
Shi Qingsong had a plan in his heart and instructed the Wang family early. Even if the Wang family was confused, she didn't get home, for the sake of her son, she could only grieve herself to the Li family's mother and daughter.
But it's one thing to understand in my heart, it's another thing to really do it, Wang thinks that his attitude is exceptionally good today, but he feels very aggrieved, and he can't sleep when he lies on the bed.
And after Li and Shi Miaoqing went back, they were also muttering in their hearts because of Wang's attitude.
"Mother, didn't grandmother always dislike me, why did she change sex today?"
Li was also a little surprised, and after hearing Shi Miaoqing's words, he said casually: "I haven't seen her for a few years, but now she is old and has a peaceful temperament." Your grandmother is kind to you, and that's a good thing. Otherwise, if we live here, we will suffer every day, and our lives will not be sad?"
Hearing this, Shi Miaoqing nodded matter-of-fact and said, "This is also true." "Before, she was most afraid of coming back, and every time she came back and saw her grandmother's face, she felt panicked. Today, I thought it was a catastrophe that could not be avoided, but who knew that it was rewarded, look at this bracelet, the condition is indeed good.
Shi Miaoqing talked to Li Shi for a while, and then she was a little tired, and walked away while looking at the bracelet on her wrist.
Lee, on the other hand, is not as optimistic as she is.
It is said that the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and it is impossible for this Wang family to change her sex suddenly, could it be that she is brewing some conspiracy?
Thinking of this, she suddenly shouted outside, "Chunlan, you come in." ”
After a while, a little girl in a green dress walked in and saluted, "Madam." ”
"How's that with what I asked you to inquire about?"
Hearing Li's inquiry, Chunlan first looked around, and then lowered her voice and said, "The slaves and maids have inquired clearly, and there have been a lot of things going on in the house these days." ”
Seeing her like this, Li Shi only felt a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned her to approach, saying, "Let's hear it." ”
