130 Retirement Gifts [Second Update]
Shuangzhi didn't see Shi Xianshu all day, and when it was almost sunset, Shi Xianshu finally lost the patience to wait, and wanted to break into the room again, but the gatekeeper of the second gate blocked Shi Xianshu, and was slapped twice by her, and even threatened to sell those mothers-in-law to do coolies.
It happened that Shi Tuo came back at that time, and when he saw Shi Xianshu beating people, he grabbed Shi Xianshu's arm with a cold face, threw her out of the door, and warned her that it was best not to continue to be wild, otherwise he would teach her a lesson himself.
Shi Xianshu cried and cried to the old lady, crying in the old lady's arms, "Mother, I don't want to leave the General's Mansion, I don't want to, the family is so big, I live here with Shaofei and I won't get in the way, you go and tell your father, let your father be my master, mother ......"
A haze flashed in the old lady's eyes, she patted Shi Xianshu's back and said in a low voice, "Looking for your father to be the master?" Hmph, he only cares about being in that slut's house now, where can he take care of our mother and daughter, Xianshu, not only you, but also my mother will be kicked out. ”
Shi Xianshu cried, "How can Dad treat you like this, mother, what if the eldest brother kicks us out in the name of being a concubine?" Maybe in the future, the second brother won't be able to share any of his family property. ”
The old lady's face changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The Shi family's property can only be Can'er's, and no one can fight for it!" ”
Shi Xianshu's eyes flashed, and said, "Mother, if Shaofei lives in the General's Mansion, he can also mention the second brother in everything, you also know that the second brother is not deeply involved in the world, and he is not more well-informed than Shaofei, after I marry Shaofei tomorrow, Shaofei is also half of your son, as long as he and the second brother work together, who is afraid of bullying us?" ”
"But now that the people in that room have helped you and Shaofei prepare the house outside, your father is silent, and I can't be the master." Especially now that Shi Tuo knows that she is just a concubine, she really doesn't even have the confidence to speak.
Shi Xianshu left the old lady's arms, and was also annoyed in her heart, "Mother, you force your father again and let him give you the genealogy of the Shi family, otherwise if the matter of you being a concubine is known by the people in the family, how will we deal with ourselves in the future." ”
The old lady was stabbed by Shi Xianshu's words, and her heart was filled with bitterness, and even her own daughter disliked that she was just a concubine, "Did Shi Tuo say it?" ”
As long as Shi Tuo doesn't say it, no one should mention it again.
"I didn't listen to the discussion of the maid ring in the family, but, mother, even if the eldest brother doesn't say it, if this matter is not resolved, sooner or later it will be known to the family, I don't want to become a concubine, don't move out of the general's mansion." She can't be the daughter of a concubine, not to mention a concubine from a slave background, oh my God, if she lets others know, she will definitely have no face, and those who have been flattering her will also look down on her, thinking of this Shi Xianshu is really going crazy, I can't wait for myself to change to a noble mother.
The old lady glanced at Shi Xianshu, with disappointment and loneliness in her eyes, and she asked, "Does Shaofei know about this?" ”
Shi Xianshu screamed, "Of course not, how can you tell him." ”
"You live outside the house with Shaofei first, and after Can'er gets married, I have my own way to let you come back." The old lady turned her head and looked out the window, she was looked down upon by her beloved daughter, except for the cold and disappointment, she didn't know what to say, but after all, it was her own daughter, and she would have to rely on these children in the future, if she didn't plan for them, what could she do?
Shi Xianshu saw that the old lady couldn't help herself, she only felt annoyed, but she didn't know what to do, although Shaofei also said that living outside was the same as living in the General's Mansion, but how could it be the same? What kind of power and status the General's Mansion represents, she has been very clear in the past few months.
In short, no matter what, she must find a way to return to the General's Mansion to live!
Shi Xianshu finally got married, no, it was Zhao Shaofei who had entered the palace, and they had already moved out of the General's Mansion, so Shuangzhi didn't have to continue to see Shi Xianshu behind closed doors.
And the next thing to be busy is only Shi Can's wedding.
Shi Tuo didn't let Shuangzhi continue to take care of these things, and asked her to take care of her body, she is now stared at by Shi Tuo every day to eat, three meals are sumptuous, what red dates and lotus seed soup, chicken soup and the like, are indispensable every day.
She really wanted to roar at Shi Tuo, she really made up for it, she didn't have to fill in these things for her every day, but she didn't dare, she knew that what she said last time made Shi Tuo have a shadow in her heart, plus she fainted in front of him and scared him, in order to reassure Shi Tuo, she must take care of herself.
While drinking the fish soup, Shuangzhi chuckled helplessly, Shi Tuo even invited a mother-in-law who took care of pregnant women to take care of her, and asked her to take a pulse every morning, she felt that she had really become fragile glass.
"Madam, Steward Wang is here." Qiu Ping walked into the hall and said to Shuangzhi.
Shuangzhi raised the corners of his eyes slightly, I don't know which person in the family went to Steward Wang to trouble again, in the past two days, I heard that although Shi Xianshu said that he lived outside, he still came back from time to time to trouble Steward Wang.
When Steward Wang came in, Shuangzhi had already asked Xiangqin to put away the porcelain cup, she wiped the corners of her mouth with dignified movements, looked up at Steward Wang who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile, "Steward Wang, what are you looking for me?" ”
Steward Wang's face was embarrassed, if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to disturb his wife's recuperation, "Madam, the little one is here to ask for instructions, the second master's wedding ......"
"Isn't this all left to the old lady to take care of? If you have any questions, you have to go to the old lady and tell them. Shi Tuo didn't let her take care of this matter, she was originally handed over to Steward Wang to take care of it, but who knew that the old lady said that her son's wedding could not be handed over to someone else to take care of, so she stirred up to do it, and a few days ago, she personally selected the dowry, and now there are only a few days before the day of marriage.
If he could find the old lady and say, he wouldn't have to be here, "Madam, the old lady reduced the bride price by half and sent it to the Yu family, and the Yu family just sent the bride price back, saying that our general's mansion looks down on them, and this bride price does not match the red post sent at the beginning." ”
The red post was sent to the Yu family when the marriage was first made, and the dowry on it was definitely rich.
"The old lady has halved the bride price? Why? Shuangzhi was slightly stunned, I didn't expect the old lady to pick such a play at this juncture.
The old lady said...... said that the second master of the general's mansion was willing to marry the daughter of their Yu family, and it was already their high climbing, how could they still give such a valuable dowry, so they ...... "Steward Wang sweated like rain, this matter was obviously handled by Mrs. Lady with full authority to take care of it, but if Mrs. was so disturbed, he would be charged with a big crime in the future."
Shuangzhi frowned, didn't the old lady make the Shi family and the Yu family grudge? "What about the other half's bride price?"
"Mrs. Hui, half of the dowry money has been taken back into the house for the old lady, and it has not entered the account room." Steward Wang said.
Shuangzhi was silent for a moment, and said softly, "You go and prepare as soon as possible, and do all the dowry gifts as they were sent to the Yu family, and make amends to the Yu family, we can't let the marriage of the Yu family's Shi family break up, we can't afford to lose this face." ”
"The little ones know how to do it, and the little ones will do it." Steward Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as the lady opened this mouth, he was not afraid that he would have to carry the black cauldron for the old lady in the future, if the marriage between the Shi family and the Yu family was blown out, he, the housekeeper, would definitely suffer.
After Steward Wang left, Shuangzhi chuckled, "What is this old lady thinking?" ”
Xiangqin's eyes were a little contemptuous, since she knew that the old lady was only a concubine, none of the maids in the upper room took her seriously, "Madam, isn't it that the old lady is afraid that her identity will be exposed in the future, and she will not have a comfortable life now, so she is greedy for her son's dowry." ”
Shuangzhi glanced at Xiangqin, "None of you can say anything about the identity of the old lady, since this matter has been said, sooner or later everyone will know, but it can't be spread from the upper room, do you know?" ”
It was only in the past two days that she knew from the maids that what Shi Tuo said in the hall when she was in a coma that day, she was just surprised by the identity of the old lady, but she was not much surprised, in fact, it is not meaningful to enter the genealogy, as long as the old lady thinks that the old lady is a flat wife for a day, they can't say anything about the younger generations.
Rong Lan and the others looked at each other and replied in unison, "Yes, madam." ”
Shuangzhi lowered her eyelids, long eyelashes covered her bright eyes, the old lady who was a concubine did not seem to change her temperament at all, the old lady did not want to clash with her head-on, all day long either in the study or in the other two aunts' rooms, but someone must suppress the old lady, otherwise once her identity is exposed, outsiders think that there are no rules in the general's mansion, and they actually call a concubine an old lady, and even let her be powerful in the house, then the shame is the old lady and Shi Tuo.
"Parsley, has the letter to my mother been sent to the post station?" Shuangzhi asked suddenly.
Parsley said, "Not yet, the slave will be sent in a while." ”
"Then write another letter to my aunt and grandmother, and tell her some things at home, so as not to worry about her in Pujing City, since the Shi family's business is going to Jingzhao, it is better to invite my aunt and grandmother to the general's mansion to enjoy Qingfu." Shuangzhi's voice was soft and soft, but the gaze that looked at Parsley had a slightly cold light.
Xiangqin was slightly stunned, her eyes lit up, and she slowly smiled, "Madam, the slave knows what to do." ”
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, Shi Yinzhu probably didn't know that the old lady was just a concubine, right? If you know...... What will be the reaction?
"Rong Lan, Cotton Tree, you can go with me to the old lady's house." It's time to meet the old lady, since she closed the door and didn't see Shi Xianshu that day, she didn't even go to the old lady to say goodbye, I heard that the old lady was not lightly angered by Shi Tuo that day, she should go over to take a look.
No matter what the identity of the old lady is, in the eyes of outsiders, she is still Shi Tuo's second mother, and she, the daughter-in-law, still has to do her duty.
"Madam, you don't have to go and say hello to that person, isn't it just a concubine?" Linglan is more cheerful and straightforward, she hates the old lady and the big girl in her heart, and always finds trouble with the lady.
"You know I know, but people outside don't know, the old lady also treats her as a lady, can I be an exception?" Shuangzhi asked lightly.
Ling Lan smiled smugly, "The slave knows, madam." ”
