The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 327
Shen Jinglan returned to the mansion in a dull mood, went back to the house to change her clothes, and rushed to her mother-in-law in a hurry to say hello.

The rules of the Yongping Hou Mansion are very strict, and the daughters-in-law have to go to the mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, every day to make up their minds. If it is too late, they will be punished again.

Shen Jinglan's husband has a total of five brothers, and his husband is the youngest son, so Shen Jinglan has four sister-in-laws.

When she arrived at Zhao's residence, three sister-in-laws had already arrived, and Shen Jinglan let out a deep breath.

Fortunately, she is not the latest.

Naturally, all mothers love their youngest son more, and the mistress of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhang, does the same. But it is true that she loves her youngest son, but she really looks down on Shen Jinglan, the youngest daughter-in-law.

Shen Jinglan respectfully greeted her mother-in-law, and after waiting for a long time, Mrs. Zhang snorted from her nostrils: "Get up."

But he didn't give her a seat.

The other three sisters-in-law were all sitting aside, and she was the only one standing awkwardly. Shen Jinglan blushed with shame, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Mrs. Zhao only chatted with the three daughters-in-law, and didn't even look at Shen Jinglan. Shen Jinglan struggled for a long time, and finally waited for the latest sister-in-law to rush over.

The daughter-in-law who came late also bowed to Mrs. Zhang respectfully, but Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Your sisters-in-law just arrived, it's all right, just sit down."

Shen Jinglan is clearly the younger brother and sister of the sister-in-law who came late, but Mrs. Zhao just mentioned a few sister-in-laws over her, just to embarrass her.

But ever since Shen Jinglan married into the Hou's mansion, she has been unwelcome, so such a run is not uncommon.

After everyone was seated, Mrs. Zhang gave Shen Jinglan a sideways look, with a sullen face, and said indifferently: "Since everyone has arrived, then don't stick around here, find a chair and sit down by yourself."

Shen Jinglan agreed, bowed her head deeply, and sat down on the edge.

Mrs. Zhao exchanged pleasantries with the four daughters-in-law for a while, and finally said to Shen Jinglan, "I have something to discuss with the old Wu family today."

Seeing her mother-in-law like this, Shen Jinglan quickly raised her head, flattered and said: "Just ask mother-in-law if you have something to do."

Mrs. Zhao winked at the nanny beside her, and after a while, the nanny led a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen to Shen Jinglan.

Shen Jinglan looked at Mrs. Zhang in surprise, Mrs. Zhang said lightly: "This girl is the daughter of my dowry mother. I want to carry her to the fifth child as a concubine. You can take her back later."

After explaining to Shen Jinglan, Mrs. Zhao said to the other daughter-in-laws without waiting for her to reply, "I have nothing else to do today, so go back."

The female family members all got up and bowed respectfully to leave.

Shen Jinglan followed at the end with the concubine that Zhao Shi had given to her husband, and after leaving the yard, she told the maid beside her, "Xiao Tao, take the girl back first."

Xiaotao took the order and took the little girl away first.

Shen Jinglan's face was sullen, as if her heart was clogged with cotton. Seeing this, the other sisters-in-law stepped forward to comfort her.

"It's common for mother-in-law to reward concubines, don't take it to heart."

"It's just a concubine's room, don't worry about it so much."

"Yes, it's important to take care of yourself."

These sisters-in-law spoke polite and comforting words, but Shen Jinglan didn't know that these people were just perfunctory and polite with her in face, and there was no half of sincerity.

Shen Jinglan, who had a strong nature, forced a smile, and replied to several people: "Sisters-in-law, don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

Sure enough, as soon as she uttered these words, several people bid her farewell politely, chatted and laughed together and headed towards the yard of the eldest sister-in-law to drink tea and chat, leaving her alone.

When Shen Jinglan first entered the Hou's Mansion, she wanted to have a good relationship with her four sisters-in-law, but no matter how hard she tried to please her, the other four had always been polite and alienated from her. She is excluded.

At first, Shen Jinglan thought that they disliked her because she came from a low family background, because the elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law were all from high families, but later she found out that the fourth sister-in-law who lived less than half a year earlier than her was actually the daughter of a merchant. Back then, it was because the Hou Mansion was in distress and urgently needed a huge sum of money. In desperation, the old Hou Ye formed this relationship with a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River and married a merchant woman for the fourth son.

In this world, no matter how wealthy the family is, the merchants are also inferior people, and they can't compare with the nobles. Most of the officials and officials will not marry merchants.

Therefore, this fourth sister-in-law, who entered the door only half a year earlier than her, is not comparable to Shen Jinglan in terms of status.

But she was able to be accepted by the Hou's mansion, but she was struggling and was not welcomed by others, Shen Jinglan was really puzzled.

Shen Jinglan had a bad nose with Jingshu today, and found bad luck with her mother-in-law when she came back. She was so disheartened that she couldn't help but touched her tears and said to the nanny next to her: "Mommy, what do you think?" Am I born unpopular? It’s fine if my eldest sister refuses to forgive me because of what happened in the past, and my mother-in-law resents me because of what happened before my marriage with Wu Lang. I don't want to get along with me, is it because of my low background? The fourth sister-in-law is still a merchant's daughter, why they can accommodate her, but they can't tolerate me? "

This nanny was brought over by Shen Jinglan from Shen's residence. She was old enough to see things in the world, so she naturally saw things more clearly than Shen Jinglan.

When a woman gets married, a person of high birth will naturally be able to gain a foothold in her husband's family as soon as possible, but if she can be accepted by her husband's family sincerely, it depends on a person's character.

This Shen Jinglan broke her morals before marriage, relying on such disgraceful means to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, naturally those famous ladies and sisters-in-law who guarded women's morals looked down upon her. Fortunately, everyone is a lady, even if she looks down on her heart On the surface, he will be polite and polite, but if he wants to be accepted sincerely, I am afraid it will be impossible.

Shen Jinglan has a strong nature, and she will do anything to get what she wants, but she has a narrow vision, a limited structure, and she doesn't know how to behave, let alone cultivate the virtues that a woman should have. Although she married into a noble family as she wished, but It is destined to be unable to win people's hearts and gain a firm foothold.

The nanny knew very well the temperament of the second girl in her family, so she didn't dare to tell her the truth, so she only comforted her perfunctorily: "Don't worry, girl, you have only a short time to marry into the Hou's mansion, and if you stay for a long time, you will naturally go along with it." gone."

Shen Jinglan was crying and complaining to her mother, when the little girl outside came in and said, "Ma'am, the young master is back."

Shen Jinglan hurriedly dried up her tears, and asked anxiously, "Where is the young master?"

The little girl pouted and said: "Young master entered the yard, he went to the house of the girl that the old lady just rewarded."

When Shen Jinglan heard this, she cursed angrily: "Sexy, you talked so much when you first got married with me, and now you've become a fool after less than three months of marriage."
