"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable! Madam, the general has brought a rural woman from the south of the Yangtze River into Beijing! ”

General Zhou's mansion was stirred up at the moment. The lady in the second room of the Zhou family brought her own girl to the housewife, and the housemother Fang had a headache.

"Madame, you don't care! Why do you have to get your consent for this woman to enter the mansion, right? Isn't this a slap in the face of you, the mistress, to bring people in without saying a word?? ”

"Aunt Gu! You are also an elder, how can you talk nonsense in front of juniors! ”

Fang's brows furrowed slightly, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly. Mama Chen, who was serving on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help her get along.

Mama Chen secretly poked and glared at Aunt Gu, and said, "Aunt Gu, Madame is not feeling well these days, don't use these nonsensical words to stimulate her." ”

"I'm not talking nonsense! Now the whole Shangjing City knows that the general went out to fight and brought a woman back. That woman also brought a girl the same age as my family, how can this be good! ”

Aunt Gu said and pushed her daughter out as a shield. Poor Zhou Yichen didn't know what to do to accept Fang's resentful eyes, and shrank behind his mother in fright.

Fang didn't want to ignore her nonsense, so he simply lowered his head and drank tea and didn't look at her, hoping that she could be a little self-aware. But this Aunt Gu still doesn't give up.

Just kidding, she naturally can't let this new woman enter the house, let alone a big one with a small one! Originally, she and her own daughter were looked down upon everywhere in the Zhou Mansion, and if that woman was allowed to enter the mansion and take away General Zhou's favor, then she really had nothing.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if it's not for herself, she has to fight for her daughter Zhou Yichen.

"Madame, you are really good. When the concubine entered the mansion, you didn't have half a word, and now a woman who is not even a concubine wants to enter the mansion, you are still so generous, and your housewife is indeed qualified. Aunt Gu said in a weird way.

The Fang clan was so angry that even the hand holding the tea cup was trembling, but Aunt Gu didn't seem to flinch at all because of it.

Mama Chen, who was serving on the side, saw this, and had the meaning of admonishing the lord, but before she could speak, Zhou Yuwan walked in.

"Changjing greets her mother and has seen Aunt Gu."

Zhou Yuwan saluted the two elders very politely, and then stood in place very politely.

Fang Shi watched as the fire in his daughter's heart just now immediately disappeared. With a smile in her eyes, she beckoned to Zhou Yuwan.

Zhou Yuwan walked up to her mother in small steps, squatted down and put her hands on her mother's knees.

"Have you done everything you wanted?"

"Mother rest assured, the daughter of the Rejuvenation Garden in the East Wing has been cleaned up, and Aunt Qing and her new sister will be able to live in it when they enter the house."

Fang nodded with satisfaction, and Aunt Gu in the hall couldn't sit still at all.

"The concubine thought that Madam, at most, you would endure the humiliation and turn a blind eye, but I didn't expect you to know that the village woman was going to enter the mansion, and you even let Changjing arrange it!"

Zhou Yuwan turned her head to look at Aunt Gu and said gently: "Aunt Gu don't have to worry, your courtyard and Aunt Qing's courtyard are separated by a Jingfang Pavilion, which will definitely not disturb you and your second sister." ”

"Changjing, that's not what I meant."

"Okay, Aunt Gu, my father must have his own reason for bringing Aunt Qing all the way into the capital, let's not ask more. Those who come are guests, and you are also an elder in the house, so why bother them. ”

Zhou Yuwan did not use her identity to suppress Aunt Gu and Zhou Yichen like Fang and Mama Chen, but instead gave them a gentle plan, which made Aunt Gu not good at attacking, so she could only make a fire.

Zhou Yichen stood behind his mother and cowered, quietly pulled his mother's sleeve, and whispered: "Mother, forget it, let's go back, okay?" ”

Aunt Gu was angry when she looked at her daughter's timid and scared look, shook off her hand, and glared at her with hatred.

"What a return! The women of the village are going to climb on your head and do their best! How did I give birth to such an unassuming daughter as you! ”

Zhou Yichen was even more ashamed after being scolded by his mother, and buried his head deeper.

Zhou Yuwan noticed her cautious appearance and stayed on her with concern.

Later, Aunt Gu made a few more troubles and was sent away by the Fang family, and Zhou Yichen followed behind her mother and was driven away by the housemother. Zhou Yuwan found a reason to retire with her mother, and then went to look for Zhou Yichen, and sure enough, she saw her in Jingfang Pavilion.

"Second sister." She whispered.

Zhou Yichen turned his head and looked at her with teary eyes.

"Sister, why did you come out?"

Zhou Yuwan took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face, and said, "I know that you have been wronged, so Sister Ah will accompany you." Aunt Gu is that kind of character, she has to take advantage of everything, she is your mother, it is better to be more obedient. ”

"yes, I see." She sobbed back.

Zhou Yuwan smiled, and took out a wooden box from her long sleeves, which contained a golden hairpin.

"This is what Sister saw when she went shopping on the street yesterday, thinking you should like it."

She inserted the golden hairpin into Zhou Yichen's bun, and she really stopped crying and smiled.

"Thank you, sister."

"What is polite to Sister A. I see that your clothes are also a little tight, and after the new sister enters the house today, everything is arranged, Sister Ah will take the two of you to cut a few new clothes. ”

Zhou Yichen touched the golden hairpin on her bun and asked her, "Sister, what kind of person is the new sister?" Is it good to get along? I'm a little scared. ”

"Don't be afraid, there's a sister here." Zhou Yuwan took her sister's hand and comforted her.

At that time, on the long street of Shangjing, a carriage engraved with the emblem of General Zhou's mansion was driving leisurely. The people sitting in the car were Zhou Zhenzhen and Aunt Qing.

Zhou Zhenzhen took Aunt Qing's hand, calmed her insecurity, and whispered: "Aunt Qing, we are about to go to the General's Mansion, you can relax and just live in peace, and I will do the rest." ”

Aunt Qing was a mute person who couldn't speak, so she could only look at her with pity, as if she was looking at her own daughter.

"I'll call you mother when you enter the General's Mansion in a while, and you don't have to feel uncomfortable."

Speaking of this, Aunt Qing waved her hand, as if she didn't want her to be so wronged.

But Zhou Zhenzhen pressed her hand and said with relief: "I owe you this mother for taking care of me for so many years." ”

Aunt Qing didn't gesture with her hands anymore, she decided to respect Zhou Zhenzhen's wishes.

The long street is full of people, and there is an endless stream of vendors and pawns, which is quite a bustling capital.

But such a noisy crowd was broken in the next moment.

On the other side of the long street, three or four horses galloped in. Ignoring the people who came and went through the streets, they rode their horses along the streets, frightened the people and turned away from them.

The sharp-eyed people had already recognized at a glance that the leader of the galloping horses was the four princes of Yanjing, Shen Yanbai, and Shen Zhixing.

A prince who was sent to Nanrao by Emperor Yanjing as a hostage since he was five years old is completely a chess piece that can be discarded anytime and anywhere.

But the fourth prince himself was not worried at all, but he was familiar with the gentlemen in the capital, and indulged in this life of boiling frogs in warm water every day, becoming a complete waste prince.

"Get out of the way! If you don't want to die, get out of the way! ”

The two gentlemen who were riding behind Shen Yanbai shouted loudly, completely ignoring the safety of these people, and the entire long street was stirred up.

……

"Girl! Oh no! The horse is frightened! ”

The general's coachman tried to control the reins, but the horses were still frightened by the fleeing people and did not want to go any further.

Zhou Zhenzhen helped Aunt Qing and didn't dare to move, but felt that the whole carriage was shaking, and she was about to throw them out.

"Get out of the way! The carriage in front of you dodge! ”

As the movement became louder and louder, the horse raised its front hooves, and Zhou Zhenzhen slipped a hand and didn't protect Aunt Qing to let her head hit the edges and corners of the carriage, and she was suddenly bruised.

Shen Yanbai rode his horse and rubbed shoulders with the carriage of the General's Mansion, and the carriage curtain lifted by the wind made the two people who rubbed shoulders look at each other. Zhou Zhenzhen's eyes instantly became fierce, but Shen Yanbai only looked at a stranger, glanced at it, and galloped away.
