Chapter 359: A New Look (I)

said that Guan Wen was sitting in the tea house, waiting for Li Xin to come out.

It's not that Mrs. Shen has embarrassed her, but it's really unfortunate that she came here today - there is a guest in the Shen Mansion here, and the guest is none other than the fiancée of Shen Siye, the little white flower who has an ambiguous relationship with Guan Zhicheng, the girl of the An family!

The first time they met was in an awkward environment, and the second time they met in an awkward environment, Li Xin couldn't help but want to sigh.

Mrs. Shen's attitude towards Miss An is neither salty nor light. If Fourth Master Shen is Mrs. Shen's parent, I think Mrs. Shen will be much kinder to the girl of the An family. However, Fourth Master Shen is not Mrs. Shen's parent, although the news is very tightly blocked, Li Xin still knows about it.

With such a relationship, she didn't know what to say in front of Mrs. Shen and Miss An, the pair of "future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law".

Mrs. Shen was very happy to see her coming, so she put Miss An aside and pulled Li Xin to ask questions. And Miss Na'an's eyes widened since Li Xin appeared, looking at Li Xin in disbelief, as if others didn't know that they knew each other.

If you want to talk about acquaintance, Li Xin is really wronged - she really has no friendship with this Miss An!

Thinking about it, Mrs. Shen also found that Miss An paid special attention to Li Xin, so she stopped talking, took a sip of tea, and asked with a light smile: "Xuan'er knows the sister-in-law of the Guan family?" ”

An Xuan's face turned pale suddenly, and she hurriedly denied: "I don't know, I don't know!" ”

Mrs. Shen was so shrewd, how could she not see that An Xuan was deliberately covering up, and immediately raised her eyebrows. looked at Li Xin again and said, "Does Li Xin know Xuan'er?" ”

"Miss Anjia, right?" Li Xin smiled, seeing that because of what she said, An Xuan's face turned white, and she couldn't help sighing.

So simple and naïve. Lose one's cool. Cowering, although the appearance is good, but after all, it is a pity. Such a girl follows Guan Zhicheng, and she will only be an abandoned life in the future; But if you follow Shen Siye, in this house, where can you compare with others?

The sigh in his heart was only buried in his heart, and Li Xin chuckled and said, "I heard that good things in the house are coming, and the fourth master is going to marry this Miss An, right?" ”

Li Xin stood up and gave Mrs. Shen a blessing. said: "I haven't congratulated Mrs. Shen yet." ”

"The happy event hasn't been done yet, and your blessing has come early."

Mrs. Shen laughed and motioned for Li Xin to sit down. said to An Xuan: "Xuan'er, don't be stunned, I'll introduce you to you, this is the sister-in-law of the Guan family in Lotus Village, and she has some business dealings with me."

An Xuan's eyes widened suddenly.

Li Xin was secretly annoyed in her heart, and she was a little resentful that Mrs. Shen had said this so easily.

Mrs. Shen didn't feel inappropriate at all, and after introducing Li Xin to An Xuan, she said to Li Xin: "This is Miss An Jia, you have also heard, she is the future fourth wife of my house." ”

Li Xin replied in a low voice. Mrs. Shen sighed and said: "She is also a hard-working child, Master An's wife died early, she is the daughter of Master An's stepfamily, but unfortunately her own mother also died early, and she was not raised by her mother since she was a child." Later, Lao An married his wife again. She's also older, and her stepmother isn't much older than her. It's not good to care about her, she has always been raised by her nurturing grandmother. ”

Li Xin was thoughtful, but still ingratiated: "In the future, she will become Mrs. Madame's daughter-in-law, Miss An should have a mother, and she must honor Mrs. well." ”

Mrs. Shen smiled lightly and nodded, but she didn't seem to be very interested in this.

Li Xin thought about it, Mrs. Shen has a parent-in-law and daughter-in-law, where can she use the filial piety of Miss Anjia.

Mrs. Shen didn't seem to be annoyed, so she changed the topic and pulled Li Xin's hand and said with a smile: "Since you are here, follow me to the workshop to have a look." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Shen got up, Li Xin also got up, and An Xuan naturally stood up in a hurry, standing aside slightly cramped.

Mrs. Shen turned around and said, "Xuan'er will rest in the flower hall for a while, if you are free, you can find a maid to talk to you for a while, I will come when I go." ”

An Xuan naturally didn't have anything to do, twisting her handkerchief with both hands, almost pulling out a few holes in the handkerchief.

Behind Mrs. Shen was Bi Tao and another maid, Li Xin looked a little familiar, it was the one who followed Mrs. Shen when she met Mrs. Shen in Fumanlou that day. Mrs. Shen saw her doubts and said with a smile: "That's Bi Liu, a newly raised first-class girl, her temperament is calmer than Bi Tao, and she can bear things better. ”

Mrs. Shen stopped with a smile and said, "Li Xin, come and see, how is this girl Biliu?" ”

Li Xin first saluted Biliu and called "Biliu girl", and then replied to Mrs. Shen's words: "The people selected by Mama Xia and raised by herself will not be bad." ”

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she smiled and said, "This girl is indeed not bad, and she has a three-point exquisite heart. Bi Tao is too vigorous and resolute, but she is not enough, Bi Liu just makes up for her defect, one is rigid and one is soft, just right. ”

As the name suggests, the Biliu people are weak willows to support the wind when they act, and they have a romantic charm, but because they wear the clothes that are slightly wide and cover the body, they can't reveal their figures. His eyebrows were calm, and he only smiled lightly when he heard the words.

Li Xin couldn't help but compare Miss An Jia with Biliu.

The daughter of a small household and the maid of a large household......

"What do you think?" Mrs. Shen smiled at her, blinked and said, "Aren't you fascinated by Biliu?" ”

Li Xin shook her head with a smile: "Madame, don't joke with me, I'm a married woman anyway, Biliu is still a big girl, the big girls are ashamed, and Miss Biliu's face is red." ”

Two red clouds flew up Biliu's cheeks, which made Mrs. Shen laugh: "Girl's family, your face is thin!" ”

As he spoke, he paused again, turned his head and asked Li Xin, "Li Xin, do you really not know Miss An Jia?" ”

Li Xin hurriedly gathered his mind and suppressed the beating in his heart: "I've seen it once, but I'm not familiar with it." ”

Mrs. Shen nodded slightly, as if she was kindly admonishing, but as if she was admonishing her: "The time for An to settle in Hui County is not too long, and it is not a big family, but it is indeed a family with a lot of money, and the family background should not be thin." The marriage with my Shen family is probably the relationship between the Shen family in the yamen, and I want to better establish myself. In the same way, my only daughter may be married into my house...... I say that, do you understand? ”

Li Xin's heart suddenly brightened.

Mrs. Shen did not shy away from the fact that Shen Siye was not her own son in front of her, but the people in Huixian County also knew that Shen Siye was a gentleman, and he was not young, and there were a lot of concubines in the house, but there was no serious wife. Master Shen and Mrs. Shen are estimated to be also troubled by Shen Siye's family affairs, and the Lord An family wants to push his daughter into the fire pit, which can be regarded as a solution to Mrs. Shen's urgent need.

And because Shen Siye is not Mrs. Shen's parent, who Shen Siye marries doesn't have much to do with her.

Fourth Master Shen is a dispensable figure to Mrs. Shen, and the existence of Miss An is even more meaningless to Mrs. Shen.

What Mrs. Shen wanted her to understand was that if she really knew Miss An Jia, or, further, what had something to do with the An family, it was best to be cautious.

The foundation of the An family is not thin, but the foundation in the yamen is too shallow. Master An is willing to sacrifice his only daughter to marry the Shen family, and stuff her into Shen Siye's room that can be described as a miasma, and he is not a conscientious figure.

Mrs. Shen's meaning was that she didn't want to get too close to the An family.

Li Xin gritted her teeth in her heart and thought that she had nothing to do with An Jiake, this was all caused by Guan Zhicheng!

chatting all the way, there is still a distance to go past the workshop. Mrs. Shen chatted with her for a while, and asked Li Xin if there were any ways to improve, or new varieties or the like, Li Xin gave a simple answer one by one, hesitating whether to talk to Mrs. Shen about dividend sharing, and Hu Yueying's desire to work in the workshop, she had to explore Mrs. Shen's tone.

However, before she could ask Mrs. Shen about such a thing, Mrs. Shen suddenly said, "I forgot one thing." ”

Mrs. Shen paused and turned her head to look at Li Xin: "The last time we met in Fumanlou, did you see the farce in the lobby after I went downstairs?" ”

Li Xin was slightly embarrassed, but still nodded and said, "I saw it." ”

"The woman...... No wonder she's so frivolous. Mrs. Shen smiled faintly, and Bi Tao couldn't help but interject: "Madame Sensei promoted her, but she is just a concubine......"

"That's also a noble concubine, but my sister is a wife."

Mrs. Shen covered her mouth and laughed shallowly, "In the end, he is still the only pillow person of the Xue family's nephew." ”

Li Xin was stunned.

Mrs. Shen sighed, took Li Xin's hand and said, "It's hard for me to talk about other people's family affairs......

"Madame, what's not to say." Bi Tao complained softly: "Sister-in-law Guan has always been a person with an extremely tight mouth. ”

Mrs. Shen was slightly stunned, but she also nodded and said, "You are right, Li Xin just knows how to be measured, what should be said is said, and what should not be said is never said much." ”

Li Xin hurriedly said: "Madame's praise ......"

"It's not like praising you, it's the truth." Mrs. Shen paused slightly: "At least, the fourth master is not my parent-child business, and you have never told anyone." I can trust you as a person. ”

Li Xin didn't know whether she should be panicked or smile bitterly, so next, is Mrs. Shen going to talk to her about her "Xue Xian's nephew"?

It's not that Mrs. Shen said it first, but Bi Tao couldn't help but talk to Li Xin's house, and said, "Sister-in-law Guan also saw the woman in front of the stage that day who spoke disrespectfully to my wife, right?" ”

Li Xin was helpless, but she could only nod.

"That person, it's none other than Xue Ye's concubine." Bi Tao looked disdainful: "I still took advantage of my sister's serious illness, and brazenly climbed into my brother-in-law's bed after my brother-in-law was sad and overly drunk, and made my sister angry to death, and forced my brother-in-law to marry her concubine." ”
