Those things about the landlady

Chapter 105
"Are you hungry? Want to eat something with me?"

As Yao Jiaxing asked, he picked up a chopstick dish and brought it to her mouth, Shu Ran shook her head and avoided it.

"I ate a lot with the children, and I'm not very hungry at the moment. Has anything happened to you when you went to the Wei Palace?"

Seeing that there was no more wine in his wine glass, Shu Ran picked up the jug and poured half a glass for him, and Yao Jiaxing took it up and drank it down.

Looking at Shu Ran, he said seriously: "My lord asked you to take Sister Ning to greet the wangfei, and let the wangfei take a look at you. It's considered a recognition, and we will have to deal with each other in the future."

Shu Ran was a little surprised, "Is it in such a hurry? Our house hasn't been cleaned up yet, and we haven't prepared any decent gifts. Wouldn't it be rude to just come to say hello?"

Yao Jiaxing said indifferently: "My lord, I don't care about these things. There is still Dachun in the palace to help you. Although my concubine is a bit unsatisfactory, I won't make things difficult for you. Just go with peace of mind."

Shu Ran smiled wryly and sighed, "The lord has already spoken, what choice do I have? Just go, I can't escape this trip."

In fact, going out as a guest is not against Shu Ran, but in this ancient time with distinct classes, she had to kneel down when she saw anyone with a low status. I despise his low official position.

Yao Jiaxing patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and told her in detail about the people in the palace. Although Yao Jiaxing had been hiding in the dark in the Wei Palace, he didn't know everything, so he could mention something.

When the two are in a strong relationship, they can't wait to entangle each other, and when they talk about business, they can complement each other's ideas, which is a bit like a soul mate. Yao Jiaxing doesn't know how to describe this kind of relationship. He just thinks that he can have such a woman to accompany him in this life Looking at myself, I am satisfied.

Yao Jiaxing got up before dawn on the second day, and Shu Ran woke up as soon as he moved, and asked in a daze, "Why are you so early? What's the matter?"

Yao Jiaxing quickly put on his clothes, turned around and covered her with the quilt again, and said softly:
"I have to go to Daying on the outskirts of Beijing earlier. I can't delay my business. I don't know when I will be home at night. Don't wait for me. Wait for me when I come back."

Shu Ran could also understand his busyness at this time, and asked caringly, "Can I prepare breakfast for you? How is the food in the camp?"

Yao Jiaxing smiled and said: "Naturally, it can't be compared with the family. Anyway, there is plenty of oil and water to keep you full. They are all rough guys, and they don't know the taste. Just eat enough."

Shu Ran shook her head amusedly, and asked caringly, "Then if I have time, I'll make it for you and send it to the boy?"

Yao Jiaxing quickly refused, "There's no need to be special, and I'm not hungry. Some people already have opinions on me, so there's no need to continue to provoke them. In the future, if I have a good friend, it's okay to invite me directly to my house."

Shu Ran just made a casual suggestion, and didn't take it too seriously. After sending Yao Jiaxing away, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she might as well just get up.

Yun Shan was very excited when she learned that they were going to Wei Wangfu today, she was in a hurry to pick out Shu Ran's best clothes, but looking left and right, she always felt that the clothes in the cage were not suitable for her wife.

The girl was not satisfied after making four or five pieces of gestures, Shu Ran became impatient, and directly picked a lilac purple underskirt, "That's it, in a place like Wei Wang's Mansion, whatever we wear in the past is the same, as long as It’s enough to be clean and decent, I’m here to greet the princess, not to go to a beauty pageant, if you dress too fancy, it will make people dislike it.”

Yunshan doubted her wife’s words, but she didn’t dare to disobey her, “Forget it, since my wife likes this one, let’s wear this one, and I’ll make you a nice bun. If it is in front of the concubine, it will not lose."

Shu Ran shook her head and laughed, she didn't know where Yunshan got her confidence, why she was so optimistic about her, she didn't care how she dressed, she didn't want to attract anyone's attention, as a mother, she just needs to be dignified and decent outside, She is charming and colorful, that is for her men to see in her own house.

However, Sister Ning needs to tidy up. Although a beautiful and outstanding girl can quickly attract attention, if no one protects her, the ending will not be too good. She still doesn't know what the female family members of the Wei Palace are thinking. If they dress up their daughters beautifully, it will inevitably make people suspect that they have other intentions.

After Shu Ran packed up, she went to Sister Ning's nursery. She had just gotten up at the moment, and was being served by the servant girl to wash her mouth in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see her own mother.

"Mother, why did you come here so early? Did you find me for something?"

After experiencing the panic of her father not being in the house, Sister Ning has obviously matured a lot. Now that her father has just gone to work in Daying in the suburbs of Beijing, it is not impossible for something to happen at home.

Shu Ran shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "We have nothing to do at home, but today you have to go out with mother."

Sister Ning was a little puzzled, the only thing their family had a relationship with in this capital was Wei Wang's Mansion, a place like Wang's Mansion is not something that can be visited just by saying it.

"Could it be that you are going to the palace to pay your respects? Are you in such a hurry?"

Sister Ning is not stupid, she is very clear-headed, Shu Ran straightened her messy bun and said helplessly:
"It's true that I'm in a hurry, but this is the prince's intention. We don't dare to refuse. This trip is inevitable. You can go with your mother."

Sister Ning nodded sensiblely and said: "It's fine for my daughter to accompany you. I'll change clothes right now. Our family's foundation is shallow, and it's not enough to be a stepping stone for others. We still have to keep a low profile. I'll just pick one." Inconspicuous clothes, just look cute and courteous."

This child has really grown up, and Shu Ran was very relieved, "It's great that you can understand these principles, but mother is still worried that you want to show off."

Sister Ning rolled her eyes angrily, "Mother, who do you think I am? I'm still young. What do you want to show off at this time? I don't want to rush to make others look like a kid. Now my father's official position is just to dress up. No matter how beautiful it is, people will look down on it in their hearts, so it's better to be quiet and low-key."

Shu Ran couldn't help nodding, "It's enough if you understand this truth. Mother thinks the same way. You put Liu Hai down. Your eyes are so amazing."

Sister Ning covered her face and said without humility: "I really can't help it, being too beautiful is also a burden."

That smug little expression is also perfect, the mother and daughter are getting along as comfortable as girlfriends now, counting the time, ready to go when they see it is almost the same.

Sister Xin was very upbeat this time, knowing that her mother and sister had business to do, and they didn't quarrel and go with them. Sister Ning believed that the little bully didn't stop making trouble because he was sensible. I haven't explored enough, and I haven't enjoyed the swing, otherwise I wouldn't be so cute.

Shu Ran doesn't care about the reason, as long as she doesn't make trouble, when the two of them were walking all the way, when they saw the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion in the carriage, they unconsciously held their breath, and Shu Ran subconsciously straightened her clothes before leaving When she got off the carriage, she was afraid that she was not decent enough.

Sister Ning got out of the carriage behind her mother, she looked a little petite with her head down, when the two of them were confused about what to do, Song Dachun came out with a smile on his face.

"Sisters and sisters, sister Ning, are you here? I have been waiting for you for a long time, is sister Ning tired?"

Seeing a familiar person, both mothers breathed a sigh of relief, Ning sister asked with a smile: "Does foster father not have to be on duty today?"

Song Dachun smiled, and said indifferently: "Will I not be on duty one day? I have already agreed with the prince, I will accompany you to see the concubine."

Looking at Sister Ning's dress, it's not ugly, but it's hard to say how beautiful it is, "I prepared a soft sedan for you, let's go to the mansion first."

Now that we have arrived at the palace, Shu Ran wants to walk by himself, but Song Dachun refuses to agree, "It must be too late when my brothers and sisters go to the princess's place. If you fall, don't be nervous."

Shu Ran smiled awkwardly, but it was hard to refuse. The mother and daughter got into the soft sedan and walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace. The palace is really big. Go on your own, when you arrive at Wangfei's residence, two quarters of an hour have passed, the mother and daughter got off the soft sedan and looked at each other, everything was said in silence.

Song Dachun ordered the little girl to go in and report, and after a while, the concubine sent someone to invite them in, Song Dachun thought that the prince had confessed, and he personally went to pick them up, so there would be no unsightly things to slow them down, Watching them go in and leave with confidence.

Mrs. Luo, Yunshan and the others were stopped outside the door. Although they were nervous, they behaved very well and never made any mistakes. Shu Ran took her daughter in and saw a beautiful woman sitting in the magnificent inner room , she is covered in pearls and emeralds, she looks like she grew up in the wealth and wealth, and she has a proud temperament.

Shu Ran didn't dare to look any further, she bowed her head respectfully and kowtowed to pay her respects. Although she was proud, the reality was too weak and there was no room for struggle. Concubine Zhong looked at the mother and daughter lazily, and saw Shu Ran's face It was a bit of a surprise, and he said to the nurse next to him:
"I just think that there are no beauties in a small village in the countryside. I see that you mother and daughter are quite outstanding."

What he said, is he praising them for their good looks, or belittling their low status? Obviously, he was talking about them for fun. Shu Ran couldn't let her daughter accept the words and humiliate her, so she just said flatly: "Thank you, princess, for your compliment."

Shu Ran swallowed her breath and didn't say much, she didn't need to cause trouble for Yao Jiaxing at this time.

But Princess Zhong didn't feel that her words were inappropriate, she made no secret of her disdain for them, and said casually:
"I don't know what the lord thinks. Is it worth letting me see a family of a small family? Let your men do good work for the lord later. Don't be ignorant of gratitude. Heaven is also a landowner.”

These words made Shu Ran extremely unhappy. She tried her best to stabilize her emotions, and said calmly: "It is also the prince who thinks highly of my master. There are many capable people around the prince. It is good luck for my master to emerge. If it is not In order to serve the prince, our family can live well in Caohe Town."

It's not like their family is holding on to the prince, there's really no need to be inferior. It seems that they didn't expect Shu Ran to speak like this. The princess was still a little unbelievable. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stalemate, the old mother beside the princess hurriedly persuaded:
"Princess Wangfei, didn't you arrange for Mrs. Zhong to take Mrs. Yao out for a walk? The scenery of our palace is very beautiful, Mrs. Yao may wish to enjoy it."

Shu Ran had no room to refuse, so she had no choice but to go down the steps. They didn't expect that the character of the princess was so indescribable. It was a hard work for King Wei to have such a mistress in the palace.

Sister Ning was completely ignored, but she could bear it and never said a word.

As soon as she came out of the house, Mrs. Zhong walked over with a smile on her face. She had a gentle and considerate personality, so she should be easy to get along with.

The two exchanged a few words, and the mother and daughter followed Mrs. Zhong and walked towards the garden. At this moment, it was so cold that there was not much to see. Mrs. Zhong said apologetically:
"Mrs. Yao, don't worry about it. My sister has always been straightforward. In fact, she has no evil intentions."

Shu Ran smiled awkwardly, she is not a fool, she is so outspoken, she is obviously looking down on others, she laughed at herself.

"Mrs. Zhong doesn't need to explain too much. Our family is not a famous figure. It is only natural for the princess to be contemptuous. After all, the prince invited us to come here, and we didn't insist on coming. I feel wronged." It's nothing, but my girl shouldn't be wronged."

Mrs. Zhong was very surprised that she would say such a thing. Most of the people who were angered by her sister-in-law swallowed it, but Mrs. Yao dared to speak out.

Seeing Mrs. Zhong's softness, Shu Ran thought she was frightened by her own words, and hurriedly said:
"Madam laughed. I was born in a small family. I felt very uncomfortable when I was wronged. It is inevitable that I talk too much. Don't take offense. The main thing is that I don't want my sister to be treated coldly."

Mrs. Zhong immediately resonated with her. She is also the one who puts her son first. She didn't understand Mrs. Yao's thoughts. She looked at Ning's sister beside her, and found that this girl was unexpectedly outstanding, and she sincerely praised her. :
"Mrs. Yao is so lucky. She has such a beautiful sister. I'm so envious just looking at her."

Shu Ran waved her hand modestly, "This girl in my family is ordinary, how can she compare to your fourth son, I heard that among all the sons of the palace, only the fourth son is the best in knowledge, you are the lucky one."

Mrs. Zhong was really surprised. She knew a little about the foundation of the Yao family. She thought it was just some family wealth. The prince valued his skills. Now hearing the meaning of this sentence, it seems that the Yao family is not simple. Maybe They all underestimated the family.

Shu Ran originally planned to act in a low-key manner, and it was fine to just go through the motions, but this princess was too obtrusive, which made her feel too unhappy. Mrs. Zhong and the princess are not necessarily sisters, and they will have to deal with the palace in the future Well, it's not a bad thing to befriend a mistress in the backyard.

Shu Ran is the best at judging the situation. She has to make a choice that is beneficial to herself. As for the princess, just underestimate it. It is still unknown how long such a not-so-intelligent person will live.
