Shen Yuanjing didn't know how Yan Mingqiao knew that he couldn't pretend, maybe when he showed his flaws, he could actually deny it, as long as he didn't admit it, it was fake.

However, he will choose to do what is good for himself.

It's like behaving ordinarily in front of the Ning family.

Shen Yuanjing is only nine years old now, and even if he thinks about it thoughtfully, there are omissions.

Lao Guogong and Fu Zhongyan just thought in their hearts that it would be nice if this child could be ordinary, so when Shen Yuanjing was as mediocre as they expected, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no need to feel sorry for him, and there is no need to worry about him causing trouble to the Guogong Mansion, Shen Yuanjing will live as they expected, it will be a happy result.

Yan Mingqiao is very well-behaved and kind, otherwise she would be the same as the three girls in the house.

Shen Yuanjing: "There is a lot of disturbance today, and I ask Sister Mingqiao to keep it secret for me, don't let the old lady worry about them." ”

*

Yan Mingqiao didn't fall asleep until midnight when she went back.

Originally, she was happy on the holiday, but she felt guilty, she had to uncover Shen Yuanjing's scars, she used to feel that Shen Yuanjing was not good at studying, and even if she didn't take the imperial examination in the future, there would be many ways out.

can know that he can learn it, but he feels a pity.

Yan Mingqiao didn't eat much for dinner, she was thinking about what happened in the afternoon, Shen Yuanjing was about to leave after saying the last sentence, Yan Mingqiao turned out the paper with the article written on it and gave it to him, but he didn't ask for it.

Last time, Yan Mingqiao went to soup porridge with the Shen family, and saw more poor people, some of whom were not full of food, some of whom were not warmly dressed, and Shen Yuanjing had everything, so why did he feel pitiful.

Yan Mingqiao suddenly understood a truth, sometimes, not only bitter and pitiful, but also pitiful.

If you know that you can do it but can't do it, you are not satisfied.

But Yan Mingqiao couldn't figure out why Shen Yuanjing didn't want a bibliography in the end, because of self-esteem, but she felt that it was something that the third sister would do.

Yan Mingqiao suddenly thought of a possibility, Shen Yuanjing might just want her to feel guilty, so that he would help him keep it a secret.

Although Yan Mingqiao didn't want to speculate on others with the worst malice, Shen Yuanjing could obviously deny it when she asked, yes, why did he admit it, wasn't he afraid that she would tell his grandmother?

This thought flashed through Yan Mingqiao's mind, and this time she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

You shouldn't be nosy.

Early the next morning, Yan Mingqiao had breakfast with Shen.

You don't have to go to class, you can eat breakfast for a longer time, and Shen also likes to eat with Yan Mingqiao, Yan Mingqiao eats fragrantly, and the food looks good.

It was especially delicious this morning.

That's because Yan Mingqiao felt uncomfortable after class yesterday, and she didn't eat much dinner, so she was hungry and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Eat more this morning.

Yan Mingqiao felt that Shen Yuanjing probably thought that she was going to die of guilt in her heart, and then took the initiative to ask about the book again.

Yan Mingqiao was willing to keep it a secret, because this was Shen Yuanjing's business, but she didn't like Shen Yuanjing as a person, so she would stay away from him in the future.

Yan Mingqiao ate a bowl of fish and meat wontons in the morning, and ate two meat buns, don't look at only one bowl of wontons, but there are twelve in it, each big and round, which is enough for Yan Mingqiao.

Shen planned to instruct the small kitchen to prepare more food during the day, and Yan Mingqiao was the time to grow his body, so it was better to eat more.

During the day, the Shen family was busy, and at this time they began to give New Year's gifts to various families, the relatives of the Guogong Mansion, including Yan Guogong's, as well as the Ning Shen's, a few little ladies in the house saw that the mother's family was still not there, and they would also give New Year's gifts if they were there.

Then there are the friends in the officialdom of Yan Guo, the gentleman of the academy, and the gentleman of Yan Mingqiao, who also have to send things.

I also have to prepare the New Year's gift for the shopkeeper, and there must be no omission.

The Shen family intended to let Yan Mingyu follow suit, but in terms of human contacts, Yan Mingyu was really reluctant.

Yan Mingqiao can remember what each family wants to send, but Yan Mingyu can always confuse these, even if he turns over the roster, it is very slow, which makes Shen wonder if he broke his brain when he fell into the water.

In this way, the Shen family couldn't take her with him, so he brought a maid from Yu Mingxuan, learn more and watch more,

In fact, Yan Mingyu is not as bad as Shen thought, there is a saying in the workplace that those who are capable work harder.

The more you know, the more this kind of thing will fall on you in the future, and saying no, it will save you a lot of trouble.

It's also a lazy way of experience.

Yan Mingyu is not stingy to tell her sister this, she is young, what's wrong with being lazy.

Yan Ming said in his heart, he can still think like this.

Yan Mingyu doesn't really want her sister to live for the Guogong Mansion and her husband in the future, although most women in this era are like this, "If you don't want to, you don't want to, anyway, your own mind is the most important." ”

But most of the time, in this era of obeying the father at home, marrying the husband, and the husband following the son, it is quite difficult to think about everything according to your own heart.

Yan Mingyu also didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that the original body was gone, and whether it was a blessing or a curse for her to come to this world.

But she can think about these because she is idle on weekdays, and if she can't eat enough, she must want to live with enough food.

Yan Mingqiao didn't seem to understand what Yan Mingyu said, but she still nodded, what the second sister said must be right.

Yan Mingqiao likes to stay in Yumingxuan.

This is her first time on vacation, so she cherishes it extraordinarily, and she also showed Shen Yan Mingyu a list of her holiday arrangements, including what books to read, how many big characters to write, etc., Shen turned his head and showed it to Yan Guogong, and unsurprisingly asked Yan Mingqiao for some good things.

It is a unique book of Fu Zhongyan's arrangement, different from the rubbing, this is priceless, many readers like it, it was originally treasured by Yan Guogong himself, but he felt that Yan Mingqiao needed this more, so he gave it to Yan Mingqiao.

And Yan Mingyu was simply surprised, how could anyone really complete the winter vacation plan on time, in her memory, although the vacation was a long time, but since she was a child, she has not read the books she brought back.

Yan Mingyu also said that the original book should be given to those who are really in need.

Seeing these books, Yan Mingqiao inevitably thought of Shen Yuanjing again, she had so many books, but Shen Yuanjing was going to the bookstore, and she felt a little uncomfortable. But as soon as Shen Yuanjing deliberately said that, Yan Mingqiao turned against him again.

Look at your book with peace of mind.

Shen Yuanjing has moon silver, he should have as much as his brother, and he can't buy anything he wants.

Thinking like this, Yan Mingqiao can read with peace of mind.

The holidays pass faster on weekdays, and on the twenty-fifth, the academy is on vacation, but Yan Mingxuan has an exam in August next year, once every three years, even if he is on vacation, he does not relax, and often locks himself in the courtyard to read.

Yan Mingye will continue to take the children's exam next year, and Yan Guogong said that he will not be able to take the exam next year, and he will have good fruits to eat.

So much so that Yan Mingye looked particularly painful.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the saint sealed the Zhu pen, and Yan Guogong also rested, and now, you can prepare for the New Year with peace of mind.

The word blessing was pasted everywhere in the house, and the corners and corners were also cleaned, and yesterday there was a New Year's gift, one or two catties of silver and two catties of pork per person, and everyone's face was beaming.

At noon, another happy event was added.

Yan Mingqiao's eldest sister, Yan Mingjing, married the son of the Pingyang Hou Mansion in the spring of this year, and good news came in more than half a year.

Now that she is more than three months pregnant, she has just stabilized, so she sent a letter to the Yanguo Mansion.

Yan Mingjing is Yu Xiaoniang's daughter, this family business is also a good match, now that the good news comes, Yu Xiaoniang cried with excitement, and after being happy, Yu Xiaoniang respectfully said to Shen: "It's all taught well by Mrs. ”

Yu Xiaoniang patted her ass again, "The second girl is getting better and better now, and the concubine body is letting Ming Jing pay more attention." ”

Chapter 24: Chinese New Year

◎After meeting Concubine Yan, I want to remember Yan Mingqiao as a concubine, and from then on I will be a concubine. ◎

Yu Xiaoniang had good intentions, she wanted to sell Shen well, and besides, she knew that Shen had been worried about this matter.

Yan Mingjing's marriage was handled by the Shen family, and the marriage was not bad, After the marriage, the husband's two maids were sent away, and she didn't carry a concubine until she became pregnant, and Mrs. Pingyang Hou was not an eventful person, anyway, Yu Xiaoniang was very satisfied.

Yu Xiaoniang knows that the concubine is different from the concubine, but the Pingyang Hou Mansion has not yet been separated, and it is also good to ask Mrs. Pingyang Hou to inquire.

Several concubines of Yan Guogong, the daughter of Chen Xiaoniang's poor Xiucai, have excellent looks and are quite talented.

Meng Xiaoniang is the concubine of the Meng family in Jiangnan, she is also thinner and smaller, the appearance of the small jasper, the softness and weakness of the speech, the most supple in front of Yan Guogong, and now she is also the most liked by Yan Guogong.

Zheng Xiaoniang is two years older than Meng Xiaoniang, and she has been favored before, but the favor was later divided by Meng Xiaoniang.

These three concubines were all accepted by the Yan State after the Shen family entered the door, and now that Chen Xiaoniang is gone, Meng Wanyan and Zheng Yunxiang are only twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

And Yu Xiaoniang is two years older than Shen, she used to be Yan Guogong's maid.

The appearance is naturally good-looking, otherwise it would not have been accepted for sex, but as I get older, it is not as good as before. Yan Mingjing was born by Yu Xiaoniang after the Shen family entered the door, Yan Mingjing was more than a month younger than Yan Mingxuan, at first she was afraid that the Shen family would harm her child, but the child grew up peacefully.

Yu Xiaoniang knew that it was all because of the Shen family.

Yu Xiaoniang was old, and with Zheng Xiaoniang and the others entering the mansion, they thought that they couldn't compete with the people behind, so they had already taken refuge in the Shen family.

Yan Guogong comes to Yuhuayuan two or three days a month, she has a two-year-old son, the fifth in the family, last year she gave birth to seven girls, and she was well raised by her side, so she missed Shen's kindness even more.

Although Yu Xiaoniang also thought about sending her little daughter to the main courtyard, it was the blessing of the five girls, and after Chen Xiaoniang's death, the five girls were not happy. Now like this, the fifth girl is good, the lady is good, the second girl is good, her daughter is still by her side, and Yu Xiaoniang feels that she is all happy.

The most important thing is that Meng Wanyan has been suffering from losses for a while, and she has given all the evil anger of Yu Xiaoniang. In the past, Meng Wanyan didn't know how to be proud, anyway, she had a favorite concubine, it stands to reason that there are several concubines in the house, and everyone has a son, but none of them have Meng Xiaoniang who has a good life.

Now that Yan Mingqiao is doing her homework well, and the main courtyard is more in the limelight, Yu Xiaoniang is naturally happy to see it.

Yu Xiaoniang hopes that Mrs. is good, and the second girl and the fifth girl are all good.

Shen said with a smile: "Mingjing's life is good, it is her own ability, in this way, I will ask people to send some tonic herbs over, and then ask an experienced old lady to help, you can also feel at ease." Mingyu's family affairs are not in a hurry, let Mingjing take care of the fetus first and give birth to the child, this is the important thing. ”

There are many rules for being a concubine, and it is difficult to see a daughter getting married, just like a married girl returning to the door in the second year of junior high school, but on the day she returns to the door, she has to meet her elders and grandmothers, and if she is mean, she will not give much time to talk to her mother.

Although Shen's mother-in-law is not satisfied with some things, she will definitely not be able to find fault in general.

Yu Xiaoniang happily thanked her.

Shen said: "If you have anything you want to send, send it over." ”

Yu Xiaoniang was even happier, and after a while, she retired and returned to Yuhuayuan to prepare the things she was going to send.

Yan Mingyu pursed her lips, she didn't want to get married, it was common for women in this era to feel that men had three wives and four concubines, even the Shen family, but Yan Mingyu didn't want to do this.

Yan Mingqiao on the side asked, "Is the eldest sister going to have a baby?" ”

A six-year-old child, where does she know what it means to get married and have children, Shen didn't want to tell her, he brought a sentence or two, and then found an excuse to let the maid send Yan Mingqiao back.

Yan Mingyu hurriedly got up and was about to retire, Shen glanced at the maids behind him, and soon, the maids in the house retreated, and even the door was closed.

Yan Mingyu: "Mother still has something to do, if there is nothing to do, my daughter will go back." ”

"What's the hurry," Shen took out a portrait from the cabinet, "It's going to be the New Year soon, and you go to meet this Liu Gongzi on the Shangyuan Festival after the New Year." ”

The person on the portrait looks good, and according to Shen's view, it is not bad.

This Liu Gongzi is the son-in-law of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and after the sixteenth year, he studied in Songshan Academy like Yan Mingxuan.
