Chapter 68: Changing Parents
The days are getting colder and colder, the late autumn season has passed, and it is winter in the blink of an eye. This year's General's Mansion can be regarded as an extraordinarily depressed situation, Shen Miao was grounded in the Shen Mansion, Shen Qing was sick in bed, and only Shen Yue went up and down Guangwentang every day, which was the later Mid-Autumn Festival, and only Chen Ruoqiu took Shen Yue to go, so naturally Shen Yue was in the limelight, but these things had nothing to do with Shen Miao.
However, as the time went on and on, Shen Qing's affairs could not be delayed. Ren Wanyun asked Dr. Chen to prescribe some pills, which alleviated Shen Qing's morning sickness a lot, and others couldn't see anything wrong, but if it went on, it would be impossible to hold the fire after all.
"It's not okay to go on like this," Ren Wanyun frowned and pressed her forehead: "I have to think of a way to let Qing'er go out and avoid it." "And take Shen Qing to give birth to the child and come back, in order to avoid people's eyes, it is okay to say that Shen Qing is infected with a vicious disease. When the limelight passes, maybe the world will be peaceful.
"But the girl is now in this body, and it is inevitable that she will suffer if she is sent out. Xianglan was a little worried: "Besides, this coming and going will inevitably take some time, and the girl's youth will be delayed......"
Ren Wanyun frowned, yes, Shen Qing is now sixteen years old, and one more year, it will be seventeen, this is the daughter family in the capital, in fact, it is just right to marry at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but Shen Qing is the daughter of the official family, and the in-laws to choose are naturally also high-level. Wait another year, I'm afraid that the good sons and daughters of Xun Gui have already been picked away.
"Yuan'er needs to come back after the end of the year, but now Qing'er's body can't be delayed. A hint of anger flashed between Ren Wanyun's eyebrows.
"Madam," Caiju, who had not spoken, said: "The slave maid heard that Mrs. Wei of the Zhongshu Shilang has recently passed through the third lady, and it seems that she wants to come to our house to ask for the eldest son of the Wei family, and she wants to ask for the fifth lady." β
"Shen Miao!" Ren Wanyun gritted her teeth: "She's lucky!" Zhongshu Shilang is the official position of the fourth grade, although for a military general like Shen Xin, it is simply beyond his strength to come to ask for a kiss. However, Wei Qian, the eldest son of the Wei family, is a young man with excellent talent and appearance, and he came to marry a straw bag girl in Dingjing, at least on the road of talent, he is definitely worthy of Shen Miao. Besides, Wei Qian has already entered the ranks at a young age, but I am afraid that he will definitely be a young man in the future, and coming to ask for marriage is simply Shen Miao's luck.
"I heard that the Wei family intends to cling to the mansion," Cai Ju said: "That's why I can't bear to exchange my son for the opportunity to make friends with the Shen Mansion." The meaning of Cai Ju's words was that Shen Miao was regarded as a very inferior person, as if he was very unworthy of Young Master Wei.
"It's also considered her luck. Ren Wanyun's face was a little hideous. For so many years, although Shen Xin's official authority is very great, there are almost no people who come to Shen Mansion to propose marriage to Shen Miao, not for anything else, it is precisely because Shen Miao herself is too cowardly and stupid, with Shen Xin's fame, the husband Shen Miao is looking for must be the same high-ranking family, but among the high-ranking families, she really can't accept such a housewife who is almost a laughing stock of Mingqi.
Therefore, Ren is Shen Xingong's fame, and Shen Miao is also uncared for.
Now that the Wei family suddenly came to propose, although Caiju said that she wanted to cling, but if you think about it carefully, it is probably because Shen Miao's performance on the inspection field that day was refreshing to everyone, and the original stupid appearance has changed, which makes the Wei family can't help but make a move.
Even in the past, Ren Wanyun would not tolerate such a good family affair falling on Shen Miao. What's more, now that Shen Qing is still like this, she can't look at Shen Miao, the initiator.
"Madame doesn't need to worry," Xianglan said, "The old lady will definitely not approve of this family business." β
In the general's mansion, the old lady Shen is the first to bear the brunt of the big house. couldn't help Shen Xin, but Old Madam Shen could secretly hold Shen Miao's family affairs in the palm of her hand. In the past, there was Ren Wanyun's dots, and Shen Miao's straw bale name was all over Mingqi, but now Shen Miao has washed away the general stupid title, and someone comes to the door to ask for marriage, with the scheming of Mrs. Shen, she will inevitably think of dispelling their thoughts.
"Where did she suffer such luck with such a cheap life, I am afraid that she will die in the house before she gets married. Ren Wanyun's words were also vicious. She looked at the closed door of the inner room, Shen Qing was resting in the house day and day and did not want to see people, and a trace of resentment passed in her heart: "But the master still wants to marry Qing'er to that kind of person!"
Shen Gui didn't know that Shen Qing was pregnant, and Ren Wanyun didn't plan to tell him. Shen Gui is such a cold person, now that Shen Qing has just lost his innocence, he can still tolerate it, but if he knows that Shen Qing is pregnant, he will inevitably forcibly abort the child regardless of Shen Qing's body.
But even so, Shen Gui was afraid of the East Window incident, so he even urged Ren Wanyun to find a family affair for Shen Qing, and only needed to marry Shen Qing early, and the other party would be better. So he picked and chosen, and he picked Huang Dexing, the youngest son of the young government eunuch.
Speaking of the Huang family, the family is actually one level higher than the Wei family, and naturally it is also countless glory and wealth. But compared to the Wei family, the old lady of the Huang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Huang Dexing is a broken sleeve who likes men.
Because of this, the Huang family doesn't care much about picking a daughter-in-law, as long as the daughter-in-law has a gentle temperament, she can turn a blind eye to Huang Dexing's lewdness, and she doesn't care about anything else.
Shen Gui thought that since Shen Qing had been polluted, it was better to marry into the Huang family, since Huang Dexing would not be interested in women and would not touch Shen Qing, naturally this secret would not be discovered. Shen Qing only needs to sit on the false name of a daughter-in-law of the Huang family and enjoy the glory and wealth. And he can also rely on his in-law relationship with the Huang family to make his career go to the next level.
Shen Gui was naturally a good idea, but Ren Wanyun didn't follow it. Even if Shen Qing has been polluted, in Ren Wanyun's heart, he must find another good family for Shen Qing. Marrying Huang Dexing is like staying a widow for a lifetime, she will definitely not exchange her daughter for this family business. For this matter, Shen Gui and Ren Wanyun have been arguing for a long time, and the already cold relationship between the husband and wife is even worse, Shen Gui is almost not in Caiyun Garden;
"It would be nice if the fifth lady and the eldest lady married someone else. Caiju said indignantly.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Ren Wanyun heard this, her eyebrows jumped, and she suddenly looked at Caiju: "What did you say!"
Caiju was startled and stammered: "The slave maid said that it would be nice if the fifth and second misses married someone else." β
"You're right!" Ren Wanyun stood up suddenly, and a wave of ecstasy suddenly appeared on her face, and she said, "Yes, as long as Qing'er and the little slut's relationship are changed, it will become a ......." She muttered, "It should have been my Qing'er, this time, let that little slut eat the consequences!" she said, suddenly remembering something: "Bring my cloak and go to Rongjingtang." β
"What is Madam doing in Rongjing Hall?" Cai Ju and Xianglan were both a little confused by Ren Wanyun's sudden movements. saw Ren Wanyun sneering and said, "Naturally, I want the old lady to leave the Wei family with a good family affair." β
......
In winter, the sunlight shines on the flowers and plants on the windowsill, and it seems that it is also reflected in a layer of pale blue. However, the sunlight was thin, as if it would be broken if you were not careful. Shen Miao was wearing a splendid double-butterfly standing water skirt, with a narrow-shouldered lotus blue and purple embroidered shirt on it. The deep purple color made her already fair skin almost transparent, and her eyebrows seemed to be drawn with ink, and even if she stood still in front of the window, the luxury lingered faintly from her body.
Bai Lu and Frost Fall were almost in a daze, it was these girls who had been serving in front of Shen Miao since they were children, and they had seen Shen Miao's face for so many years, I don't know why, every time they saw Shen Miao now, they would have a feeling of not knowing each other. That kind of faint elegance appeared in this originally childish girl, so the well-behaved became majestic, and the immature became solemn.
"The girl seems to like to wear lotus blue clothes. Bai Lu said: "Although the dress is very good-looking, but at this age, don't the ladies like the bright colors of rice and blue?"
The lotus blue color is solemn, but the ladies of the deep boudoir, except for the princess and the princess in the palace, rarely wear such a color. First, it is easy to look old-fashioned, and secondly, it is difficult to suppress this color, and if you are not careful, you will become a child who steals the clothes of adults.
But Shen Miao obviously had a tender little face, but she was stunned to pass on this dress to the bearing of the lady in the palace, and the maids were puzzled.
Although Bai Lu and Frost Fall lowered their voices, they were still listened to by Shen Miao. She smiled slightly, why do you like to wear lotus blue, probably because such a color can remind her all the time that she is calm, deep, and never soft-hearted.
When I was in the palace in my previous life, I wore the queen's court dress every day, and the golden color could deter those palace concubines who had ghosts in their hearts. Holding the queen's shelf, it makes people jealous, but that color is not suitable for her.
She married Fu Xiuyi at a young age, and she experienced many things that others could not experience at her age. Because of this, her naΓ―ve and almost stupid temperament was finally sharpened into a pool of stagnant water. Later, she competed for favor with Mrs. Lintel in the harem, in order to protect Fu Sheng and Wanyu, she wanted to keep the bright yellow queen dress, but in the end there was nothing left.
The evil purple seizes Zhu, which means that the following crimes are committed and seek power and usurp the throne. In this life, she often bears purple clothes, which means that one day, she will snatch the power of the Ming Qi royal family and trample those bandits and robbers under her feet.
But...... Shen Miao suddenly remembered another handsome young man who was always dressed in purple.
Evil purple seized Zhu, and the following chaos was in chaos, but I don't know if the mysterious eldest son of the Xie family also has plans to seek power and usurp the throne?
"Girl, it's not good!" was groaning, and hurriedly ran back from outside, she said: "Girl, Mo Qing got the news from Chun Tao, the Zhongshu waiter Lang Wei's family came to propose, and Mrs. Shen accepted the Wei family's Gengti. β
Frostfall frowned and asked, "In such a hurry, who is the Wei family's proposal?"
"It's a girl. Stamped his feet in a hurry: "It's not clear what the situation of the Wei family is, how can the old lady accept the Geng post without asking the girl's meaning." The lord and the lady don't know it, this is clearly a forced buying and selling. β
The stinging also looked down on Old Madam Shen, and naturally knew that Old Madam Shen's actions would inevitably make Shen Miao unpleasant. If the Wei family was really a good family, how could Old Madam Shen give Shen Miao a good time so easily.
"Girl, what can I do about this? Now I have to write a letter to my lord quickly. Bai Lu also looked anxious.
The maids in the house were all busy, but Shen Miao was silent. After a while, she laughed softly in the surprised eyes of the maids, and only said: "This is really strange, although the Zhongshu Shilang family is a fourth-grade official, it is better than the Wei family's rich family, and as for the Wei family's sister-in-law Wei Qian is also a talent, such a good thing, my grandmother fell on my head, but I was flattered." β
"Girl?" Bai Lu was stunned: "The girl said that the Wei family is good?"
"It's not bad," Shen Miao said lightly: "I'm afraid that my father is back, and when he knows that there is such a family matter, there is no reason to refuse." Wei Qian is indeed a lifelong lover for Miss Guanjia. β
"How does the girl know?" Shen Miaocheng is in the house every day, even if he is outside, but he is only in Guangwentang. As for the family background of a certain official family and the temperament of the son-in-law, there is no reason to know, but in this way, it seems to be very familiar, which makes the stunned puzzled.
For Shen Miao in the boudoir, she naturally doesn't know which son's brother is a good person. But as Empress Shen, which official family is talented and virtuous, but she knows it clearly. Wei Qian is indeed a good talent, and his temperament is also good. It was the Wei family who proposed marriage, and Old Madam Shen promised this family business, and Shen Miao would not believe it no matter what.
At this moment, I saw Gu Yu trotting in from outside, with some doubt on his face, and said, "Girl, Miss Xi'er from Rongjingtang has come to pass on the old lady's words, telling you to go to Rongjingtang quickly." β
"It's really fast. Shen Miao stared at her and smiled: "Then let's go and take a look." β
In the hall of Eijing.
Shen Yuanbai snuggled up next to Old Madam Shen, and Ren Wanyun was busy taking care of Shen Qing these days, so she simply left Shen Yuanbai in Rongjing Hall. Old Madam Shen already loves this grandson, so she is naturally a treasure. Even with Ren Wanyun, he was a lot more pleasant.
Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue are not there, since Ren Wanyun took care of Shen Qing in the mansion, Chen Ruoqiu temporarily took over the power of the family, naturally, the errand on behalf of the Shen family and the ladies also fell on her, such a good opportunity, Chen Ruoqiu naturally will not let go, she takes Shen Yue out to socialize every day, and also wants to let Shen Yue show her face in front of the ladies of the noble family, so that Shen Yue's family affairs will be much more beneficial in the future.
Ren Wanyun stood on the lower side of the hall, her eyes heavy and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Shen Miao was taken to Rongjingtang by Mrs. Shen's maid Xi'er and said goodbye to Mrs. Shen.
These days, she was grounded, and she had to copy Buddhist scriptures and kneel on the tablet in the Shen family ancestral hall every day. Old Madam Shen probably didn't want to see her, and she didn't let her come here to say hello. Goodbye Old Madam Shen, it's still before the grounding.
"Five girls, have you been copying scriptures in the ancestral hall recently, have you ever been at peace in your heart?" asked Old Madam Shen.
At first glance, when she heard the old woman's speech, Shen Miao almost laughed in her heart. If it is said that the Shen Mansion is disrespectful to the elderly, Mrs. Shen is the first to bear the brunt, but at this time she still said something quiet and not quiet, she smiled slightly: "As grandmother wishes." β
"That's good," Old Madam Shen pretended to cough lightly, Fu'er hurriedly handed over the hot tea, she lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip, before looking at Shen Miao and said: "The incident of the past few days, although it was not your fault, it was caused by you, and besides, you are too stubborn, I punished you for grounding and copying scriptures, can you blame me in your heart?"
Shen Miao didn't dare. β
"I know you're a sensible person. Old Madam Shen glanced at her with satisfaction: "You are so sensible, and you are a girl of my Shen family, I will naturally love you." Seeing that you have also reached the age when you should leave the cabinet, today the Zhongshu Shilang Wei family came to propose marriage for the Wei family's son-in-law, and what he asked for was you, do you think it is good?"
If it weren't for the fact that now was not the time, Shen Miao would really be about to laugh out loud. For a person like Mrs. Shen, about a lifetime of knowledge is in that dusty place. How could the elders of a family ask their granddaughter so loudly, "Do you think it's good", and I don't know what Old Madam Shen thinks.
"The words of the matchmaker of the parents," Shen Miao said with a smile: "The granddaughter's family affairs are naturally worried about by the parents. β
"You girl!" Old Madam Shen almost got angry when she saw that she had touched a soft nail, and when she heard Ren Wanyun's soft cough reminder on the side, she slowed down, and then changed her calm expression and said, "You girl, you are too willful." You loved ....... That's it. Now that you have seen you these days, you seem to have sobered up a lot, and I think you know how to measure. This Chinese scholar Lang's family is a good match with us, and Wei Qian, the young master of the Wei family, is also a dignified, civil and military handsome. This family business, that is, your father will not say that half is bad, you have grown up to such a big age, it is the first time that such a family has come to propose, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity, then the young master of the Wei family will become someone else's husband in turn. β
Although Mrs. Shen is not good as an elder, her matchmaking skills are good. is about to be born as a singer, and knows that girls are about to love pretty, so she only said that Wei Qian is a beloved person in everyone's hearts. Although Shen Miao knew that Old Madam Shen was not lying, that Wei Qian was indeed a good person.
Despite this, Shen Miao was still unmoved, and said lightly: "Young Master Wei is indeed good, but it is really not what I want, grandmother still forget it." Naturally, my father and mother are in charge of my family affairs. β
"You!" was hit twice three times, and Old Madam Shen was not a patient temper, and finally said angrily: "Are you thinking that my grandmother is meddling in your family affairs, and her hand is stretched too long?"
"My granddaughter didn't say that. The implication is that you said it yourself.
Old Madam Shen was about to go crazy with anger, and now the rebellious Shen Miao was covered with thorns all over her body, and she couldn't move, which made her feel suffocated and painful. Old Madam Shen hated the big house, but she was also afraid of Shen Xin, because for so many years, although she was angry in her heart, she could only hold it up, not get close to Shen Miao, and make a serious but fair grandmother. She can't beat Shen Miao, because this will be discovered by Shen Xin, at most she will reprimand a few words, because she has been watching Ren Wanyun and Chen Ruoqiu coldly raise Shen Miao and kill her, although she has said a lot, but she has really been discovered, but it is very rare.
As a result, I don't know what's going on, one day, Shen Miao, who was raised, suddenly became clever, not only clever, but also temperament became incompatible, she said angrily: "Do you still have a respectful and humble etiquette!"
Shen Miao felt bored, Old Madam Shen's patience and determination, thrown in the harem, would definitely not survive for two days. She had seen too many powerful women in her previous life, and Old Madam Shen was so shallow and unaware of the height of the sky, she really didn't want to take it seriously.
"I'll ask you again," Old Madam Shen still remembered today's purpose, looked at Shen Miao gloomily and asked, "What do you want to do with this family business?"
"I disagree. Shen Miao replied.
"Good, good. After saying three "good" words in a row, Fu'er and Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward to caress Old Madam Shen's heart, lest she faint for a while. Old Madam Shen laughed angrily: "In this case, it seems that you are not truly repentant, from today onwards, you will move out of your courtyard and live in the ancestral hall of the Shen family, chanting scriptures every day, to see if your rebellious temperament can be grinded down!"
Living in the ancestral hall, every day is facing the spiritual position of the ancestors, a delicate little girl, I am afraid that she will be frightened by this. Besides, the ancestral hall is located in the cold and cold, and if you stay for a few days, you may get sick. Old Madam Shen was also angry, and after finishing speaking, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes, looking at Shen Miao, probably waiting for Shen Miao to beg for mercy.
But Shen Miao didn't frown, and said, "Yes, granddaughter will go back and pack her things and rush over immediately." β
The fluttering words almost choked Old Madam Shen's back to her heart.
After Shen Miao said this, she really said goodbye to Old Madam Shen and left directly.
"This wicked girl! There is no king's law!" Old Madam Shen was angry, because she was from a low background and couldn't say any literary words, she actually scolded under the lack of words: "Little slut!
The "old slut" she said is naturally Shen Xin's mother and Shen Miao's grandmother.
Ren Wanyun raised her head and looked out of the door suspiciously, where Shen Miao's back was long gone.
"Didn't you say that she would definitely agree to this?" Old Madam Shen pointed the finger at Ren Wanyun: "She is like that, where did she agree? What should I do next?"
Mo said that Old Madam Shen was puzzled, and Ren Wanyun was also very strange in her heart. Wei Qian's conditions, even Shen Qing may be difficult not to waver, Shen Miao would actually refuse, without even thinking about it. She muttered: "It must be that she still cares about King Ding, pretending not to care on the surface, but in fact she is not dead." Otherwise, she wouldn't refuse such a person. "Not even the shyness of my daughter's family when they heard about their own affairs.
"Then what should I do now?" Old Madam Shen said angrily: "If she doesn't let go here, how can she write a letter to Shen Xin?"
Originally, in the plan of the two, as long as Shen Miao was coaxed, Shen Miao's letter to Shen Xin revealed that she had a sweetheart. After that, before Shen Xin returned to Beijing, the tanuki changed the prince, and the bride of the two family affairs changed positions. After that, all the mistakes were thrown on Shen Miao alone, once a woman got married, her temperament would be gone, Shen Miao was afraid in her heart, and she would not make a noise. Shen Xin wouldn't even know that Shen Miao and Shen Qing had changed their relationship, thinking that Shen Miao was in love with the young master of the Huang family. Huang Dexing is a good man, and no one knows about this except for those who are close to the Huang family. From the outside, Huang Dexing is still a good person.
But now Shen Miao has shown that she is dissatisfied with the Wei family's family affairs, let alone write a letter to Shen Xin. Shen Miao herself disagreed, and there were many plans that could not be played in the future, and there was a lot of trouble in plain water.
"If you don't eat what is soft, you will come hard. Ren Wanyun said viciously: "Didn't my mother lock her up in the ancestral hall, then the things outside are whatever we say." In short, we must set this family affair as soon as possible, get married as soon as possible, and change Qing'er. "Otherwise, otherwise, even if the wedding night can be coaxed, Shen Qing's stomach can't be coaxed. Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Qing can't see anything now, hurry up and finish it.
Old Madam Shen glanced at Ren Wanyun and did not speak. Although she also wants to be unlucky, if she really comes hard, once Shen Xin finds out and involves her, she will not be able to eat and walk around.
Ren Wanyun knew what Old Madam Shen was thinking at a glance, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have my own arrangements afterwards." After all, it will not be found on the mother's head. β
When it came to this, Old Madam Shen didn't hold it anymore, she said, "Then let's do what you say." β
......
On the hundred flowers upstairs, silk and bamboo are swirling, the pavilion is high, and the handsome young man is dressed in purple clothes and spreads at will, as if the faint light silk above the nine heavens. His eyelashes are extremely long, and his peach blossom eyes are extremely beautiful, but when he looks at people, he reveals indifference and cruelty.
"Cough", a light cough broke the silence in the pavilion, and the prince in the costume put the folding fan across his chest and made a gesture of begging for mercy: "I'm sorry, it's too late." β
"You'll be late, too, so fresh. The young man in purple glanced at him.
Su Mingfeng touched his nose, what this friend hates the most is that he is not punctual, and he has a great friendship with him, if it is someone else, I am afraid that Xie Jingxing will leave long ago, where will he wait for a stick of incense.
"It's really Wei Qian's abnormality today," Su Mingfeng smiled bitterly: "The young master of the Zhongshu Shilang family, you also know it." He is also quite pitiful, he already has a favorite girl, but the family mentioned another young lady's family affair for him, and the other party even accepted his Geng post, but I am afraid that this family matter will soon be settled. Wei Qian was not happy, so he pulled me to drink, but," Su Mingfeng pointed to himself: "I am now 'seriously ill', and I can't drink, so I have to persuade for half an hour." β
"Boring. Xie Jingxing said with a cold face. Obviously, Su Mingfeng had spent so long doing such a boring thing, and he was so late that he was very unhappy in his heart.
Su Mingfeng was helpless in his heart, Xie Jingxing looked cynical and always had a smile, but in fact, he was very resentful and picky. I don't know what went wrong these days, and my expression is so light. As long as Xie Jingxing looked at people so calmly, Su Mingfeng felt furious.
"In fact, Wei Qian is also unlucky, the wife that the family picked for him is not good, but it is a straw bag, everyone knows that he chased Queen Ding before Mingqi, Wei Qian married her, naturally he was helpless. He hurriedly found a conversation in the hope of arousing Xie Jingxing's interest: "You should know who she is, right? Shen Xin's daughter-in-law, Shen Miao, should be considered lucky to be able to marry Wei Qian." β
"You say," Xie Jingxing suddenly spoke, and slowly asked, "Shen Miao?"
