3. I'm not afraid of being laughed at
"What my father taught me was that I was really ignorant and ignorant of mundane things in the past, and I have grown into a mess until now, thanks to my father's plan for me."
Jun Hongbai's expression softened.
Jun Qian said again: "Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up now, just learning the council, and the paper is always shallow."
Why don't my father leave me the dowry left to me by my mother, so that I can practice my hands? ā
Jun Hongbai glanced at his daughter deeply when he heard this.
This child, she has already said that she will always love her, but she is still so careful.
But then, I saw the apprehension in her eyes again.
When Wen Niang was by his side, she didn't have a good life......
Jun Hongbai's heart softened again, "Okay, my father will go and talk to Shen Qingluan, and let her return the dowry to you tomorrow." ā
"Thank you, father!" Jun Qian smiled happily for a moment.
Shen Qingluan returned to Hanguang Courtyard, Cuicui waited for her to remove her hair bun, and was about to go to bed to rest, when Cuicui suddenly said excitedly: "The second master is here, please come in!" ā
Shen Qingluan frowned, and hurriedly got up and grabbed a coat and put it on his body.
I put on my clothes, and the door opened.
Jun Hongbai walked in slowly, and when he saw Shen Qingluan's appearance, his footsteps were stunned.
During the day, Shen Qingluan's sentence "You are also a man, will men be so accustomed to her" suddenly drilled into his brain.
On weekdays, she is neatly dressed and is a qualified housewife.
He also forgot that she was actually only nineteen years old, and she was also a little girl who needed someone to take care of her.
Jun Hongbai softened his tone, "I haven't heard you talk about Qian'er today. ā
He originally meant to chat with Shen Qingluan.
When Shen Qingluan heard this, he frowned invisibly, and his tone was cold: "It's Qingluan's fault." ā
Jun Hongbai touched a soft nail, the words in his throat were turning, and his expression was cold.
"It's good that you know, I said on the day of the wedding that marrying you into the house is to have a mother to take care of Qian'er and Yuan'er, which is your responsibility.
What Qian'er did today, it can be seen that you did not take her as a daughter and raised her with your heart. ā
Shen Qingluan's eyes became cold inch by inch, and he flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "My Shen family tutor, Mingde, righteousness, self-cultivation, self-determination!"
I have no reservations about Sister Qian's self-questioning, if the uncle really thinks that I am difficult to do this job, it is better to let me go back to the Shen family with a letter of resignation! ā
Jun Hongbai's heart jumped violently: "Shen Qingluan, aren't you crazy about eating and drinking, the nobles of the Gaomen have never said anything about it, even if you die, you can only be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Jun family in the name of Jun Shen." ā
Shen Qingluan's nails stabbed into his palms.
She knew that what Jun Hongbai said was true.
Looking at her expression, Jun Hongbai's fists clenched, and the words that were still thinking about how to exit said in one go:
"Qian'er is not young, she should also learn to take care of mundane things, you can take care of the dowry left by Wen Niang, and hand it over to Qian'er in the next few days."
Shen Qingluan raised his head suddenly, and the humiliation and anger in his eyes flashed.
Jun Hongbai put his hands behind his back, waiting for her to bow her head and give in as before.
He knew that this arrangement was questionable and humiliating to Shen Qingluan.
Among the nobles of the Houmen, there has never been a woman who has not yet reached the Ji to manage the dowry by herself, and it is all purchased by the elders of the family.
Asking Shen Qingluan to hand over Qian'er's dowry is tantamount to telling others that the Marquis of Zhenyuan doesn't trust her.
With her pride, how could she stand such contempt.
It's just that he was still disappointed after all, and for a moment, all the emotions in Shen Qingluan's eyes disappeared, "The dowry is Qian'er's, and she should take care of it."
But when the official handover is made, the old lady has to be asked to be a witness. It is said that it is difficult to be a stepmother, and if something goes wrong in the future, I can't tell if I have 10,000 mouths. ā
Jun Hongbai was embarrassed and annoyed by her ruthless words:
"What's going to go wrong? Do you want to imply that Qian'er will manipulate the dowry and deliberately frame you? She'sā"
Thinking of Shen Qingluan's words today, Jun Hongbai was forced to swallow back the words "just a child", and his eyes became more and more indifferent.
Shen Qingluan smiled.
Married into the Hou Mansion for three years, except for the period when she was looking forward to Jun Hongbai at the beginning, she rarely smiled after that.
This will be under the ethereal and flickering candle flame, and I can't help but smile like this, it is a beautiful color that has never been seen before.
Everyone has a love for beauty, even if Jun Hongbai's infatuation in this life has been paid to one person, there is no way to deny that his heart is beating at this moment.
He stopped talking, and said nothing more that angered her even more.
But he didn't want to, Shen Qingluan raised his eyelids slowly, "Uncle said this, he must have a weak heart." How Sister Qian'er treated me, the masters and subordinates of the entire mansion today are obvious to all.
Although it is impossible to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I am not a villain, and I am more afraid of being misunderstood, especially the misunderstanding of the dowry of Mrs. Moxian, which is enough to discredit me. ā
Jun Hongbai's cheeks suddenly throbbed.
Shen Qingluan didn't look at him either, and knocked on the table with his hand, "I married into the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion as the stepwife of the eldest young master, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have been struggling in the past three years."
I don't have to deal with my grievances, but my Shen family is a literati leader, a model scholar, and my character will never be tarnished, so I attach great importance to my words and deeds.
Even if you don't understand my behavior of cherishing feathers, please respect me. The matter is so decided. ā
Her eyebrows were cold and arrogant, and her tone was resolute, and there was no doubt about it.
Then Jun Hongbai really didn't question it.
After all, asking her to hand over Qian'er's dowry is already wronged by her, if Qian'er really does anything else.
He didn't believe that Qian'er would do such a thing, and he didn't want to give her this opportunity.
Inexplicably, he suddenly felt that if Qian'er could grow into Shen Qingluan's demeanor, it would be considered excellent.
Like Wen Niang, although it is good, Wen Niang is too weak.
He understands men, how can there be a man in the world who is so protective of Qian'er as he is.
Thinking of his deceased wife, Jun Hongbai felt uncomfortable for a while, had no intention of staying, and was about to leave, when a sunny and anxious voice came from outside the door:
"Uncle is not good, Miss has a high fever, go and take a look!"
Jun Hongbai suddenly turned around and ran out quickly.
With a "bang", the door that was pushed open by Jun Hongbai rebounded violently, and Cuicui, who was guarding the door, was startled, and looked at Jun Hongbai's back in a daze, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Uncle, how can he do this to you. I finally came to Hanguang Temple......"
But he left without saying hello like this, and when it was spread, those subordinate mothers-in-law still had to laugh at the lady, and they couldn't hold the hearts of men.
She is really wronged for her wife, and it is not worth it.
Shen Qingluan's face was calm.
If she dies once, if she still gets angry with herself for these little things, I'm really sorry for the life God gave her.
"What's sad, this town is far away, you rely on me as the master, it doesn't matter what Jun Hongbai's attitude is."
She should have known this.
Shen Qingluan pinned his long hair with a wooden hairpin, put on a cloak and followed.
Jun Qian made such a big fuss, if she, as a mother-in-law, was indifferent, wouldn't she just give others the opportunity to accuse her of being ruthless?
Xianshu Temple, this will already be a mess.
Jun Qian was lying on the bed, covered with a thick futon, and her face was flushed.
Jun Hongbai was already doting on her, and when he saw her like this, all the prejudices in his heart about her little family were scattered, and he was only distressed.
carefully wiped her face with a handkerchief, and comforted: "Qingluan has promised to hand over the dowry to you, you get better quickly and learn how to take care of it from her." ā
Jun Qian tried her best to open her eyes when she heard this, but before she could be happy, when she saw Shen Qingluan standing behind Jun Hongbai, she immediately showed resistance and disgust.
Jun Hongbai immediately turned his head to Shen Qingluan and said, "You go back first, Qian'er is seriously ill, and I am here to take care of her." ā
When Jun Qian heard this, her face was proud.
Oh, depending on how clever your tongue is, how beautiful your appearance is.
In her father's heart, she will always be the most important.
Shen Qingluan's face was expressionless, but he smiled slowly in his heart.
It's summer now, but Jun Qian can get herself cold, I don't know how long it has been cold water.
In her previous life, Jun Qian wanted the wind to be windy and rainy, and she didn't want Jun Hongbai to have sex with her, so she sent the maid to invite people away directly, how could she hurt herself so much in exchange for Jun Hongbai's attention.
It seems that today, she is no longer cowardly to cover up for Jun Qian, which made her panic after all.
Good, good, good!
Seeing that Jun Qian was not doing well, she was also refreshed, she really didn't come to see this play in vain.
On the way back, Cuicui couldn't help muttering: "The eldest lady is sick, and she won't let you, the mother-in-law, take care of it, but let the uncle take care of it by a man. ā
Shen Qingluan waved his hand calmly: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of being laughed at." ā
On the contrary, she also wants to thank Jun Qian for this piece of shit that jumped out on her own and lured Jun Hongbai, the leper dog, away.
If something really happened to her and Jun Hongbai, she was afraid that she would vomit on the spot.
As for the disgrace?
In her previous life, she tried her best to cover up the suffering she suffered in the Hou Mansion for the sake of face.
In the end, everyone felt that the Hou Mansion was very good to her, and her miserable end was all caused by herself.
Now, she has to stand by and watch, and let the jokes in this Hou Mansion be well exposed among the nobles of this capital.
The next day, Jun Qian and Jun Yuan did not come to Hanguang Courtyard to say goodbye.
Shen Qingluan was not disappointed, and went to the old lady's Fushou Hall with the servant woman and a few boxes of account books.
The old lady Lu was annoyed by Jun Qian's call away from Hanguang Courtyard yesterday, and she didn't have a good face when she saw Shen Qingluan, so she slammed the tea bowl hard, and her tone was cold and hard:
"Changdong is confused, but he is a man after all, women are born with weapons to men, you know books and etiquette, why don't you know how to hold a man's heart!
I hope you give birth to a child as soon as possible, but you are so unhappy! ā
Shen Qingluan's expression was faint, and she was all reciting scriptures.
After the Lu family finished talking, he ordered someone to put the box in the middle of the house, "Uncle asked me yesterday to count the dowry left by Sister Wen Niang and hand it over to Sister Qian to take care of."
I thought that the dowry was given to me by the old lady herself, and now I want to give it to Qian'er, so I should count it in front of the old lady. ā
The old lady's brow furrowed.
Jun Hongbai's decision is too embarrassing for her granddaughter-in-law, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't agree.
Only she glanced at Shen Qingluan's stomach, and then changed her words:
"It's okay, you take care of some chores and put some mind on business, a woman has no children, no matter how capable she is, she is not a virtuous woman."
The maids of Hanguang Temple trembled with anger at this naked and arrogant tone.
The old lady's words are really humiliating, is it because their wife doesn't want to give birth?
Shen Qingluan raised her eyes, and suddenly smiled faintly: "The old lady is high-minded, but the granddaughter-in-law thinks that it doesn't matter whether she can give birth to a child or not, the important thing is that the children under her knees are carefully raised, and they can stand up to the door in the future." ā
There was a sudden silence in the room.
When the needle drop could be heard, Shen Qingluan said again: "The old lady raised a son like the second uncle, and the granddaughter-in-law still has to learn from the old lady, please don't hide your selfishness." ā
Lu's face changed, and the fierce light in his eyes was revealed.
