A Poisonous Woman from a Good Story

Although Mrs. Shen said that she wanted to make a complete set, she was not particularly active, and she was still proceeding in a leisurely manner.

Because she thought that her mother-in-law would not return to the capital for a while.

Back then, because of her daughter, the mother-in-law went so resolutely in a fit of anger, and now she missed Ning'er's marriage, and now there is no serious reason, thinking that the mother-in-law would not come back easily, otherwise it would be considered acquiescing The way she dealt with her daughter back then was to be soft on the next generation, which was really not something she could do.

Two days later, Shen's father said to his wife: "The emperor intends to let Ying'er go to the south to guard, and now he has transferred someone to Lu to take over. I received a report today, saying that she has arrived in Lu, and the emperor is very kind. When Er returns to Beijing to report on her work, she will stay for a longer period of time, and I estimate that she will be back in about a month. I have written to Ying Er to persuade Ying Er to bring the old lady to Beijing together. Please ask someone to tidy up, so as not to lose time Chaos on the go."

Mrs. Shen couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this, and said: "What a coincidence, Qiu'er walked to Chunhui Courtyard by accident the day before yesterday, looked around, and came over and said: "It's too deserted inside. You must force me." I must decorate one by one according to the appearance of the old lady. No matter whether the old lady is in the capital or not, there must be no difference. This is true filial piety. The rigidity makes people laugh. Knowing that the money was spent, even if the mother knew that the mansion was so extravagant, she might not like it. Today, since she knew that her mother would go to Beijing soon, she should arrange it well, so as to satisfy her, and save a trip to Chunhui Courtyard. Come here and squiggle."

Shen's father heard the words and sighed: "Qiu'er is a good boy, a good and good granddaughter who is filial. In my opinion, there is no need to be too extravagant. Just put a few household utensils and so on. Mother will grow up when she comes back this time." Now that she lives in the capital, she naturally brought all her belongings into the capital, and you know her temperament, so she might as well clean it up so that it is convenient for mother to arrange her belongings."

Mrs. Shen said unhappily: "I didn't clean up that yard one day. Doesn't the only person there not work."

Father Shen hurriedly smiled and said, "I understand your respect for your mother, but that's all you said. What are you thinking of?"

Only then did Mrs. Shen smile and said: "I think that when my mother came home, she opened the yard and only saw an empty space. Some people would feel desolate after drinking tea. Her old man is now very old. Naturally, she likes festive reunions more, so I thought After entering the door, I found that the house hadn’t changed at all. The old man felt more at ease. Besides, those items were only worth a few thousand silver. Even if it will be thrown away in the future, the mansion can still afford it. If the mother doesn’t use it, it can be returned to the library first, and it can be used in other places in the future. It is used in the mother’s room, and it can be used even more. Some luck."

What he said made Shen's father speechless.For half a day, I held my wife's hand.Said: "You are in charge of everything at home, and you can do it as you see fit. I'm just offering a suggestion. It's better for you people in the inner house to think carefully about it."

When Mrs. Shen got her husband, she began to get busy officially and actively, choosing furniture and girls. In fact, most of them were temporarily transferred from the mansion. Anyway, the old lady didn't like her own vision and taste, and she wouldn't use her to help her choose. People, it will save trouble just waiting for her to come back, and then return to everyone.

Shen Qiujun has also been paying attention to this matter. Seeing that his mother really took it seriously, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Today, he accidentally learned from the conversation between his father and brother that a general from Ludi had also brought his family to Beijing to report on his duties, so he hurried to Advice to my mother: I should go to visit and find out about my grandmother, elder brother and others.

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "They didn't come from Lu, I'm afraid they won't know the situation there. Besides, they just came to Beijing and everything is busy, so it will take a few days before they are free. Going now is just to cause trouble for them. Besides, when they are tidied up, they will also come to visit at home, not to mention the old feelings, it is always a fellow villager."

Shen Qiujun said disapprovingly: "Although they didn't come from Ludi, they are going to pass there. They may not go back to their hometown to have a look. I don't know if I will visit my grandmother by the way. My mother is worried about her age. Mother-in-law, who cares about the eldest son who is far away, naturally will not let go of every opportunity to learn about them."

Mrs. Shen couldn't help pointing her finger at her daughter, and said with a sneer, "I'll learn this kind of hypocrisy sometime. Filial piety and concern don't just come from yelling around. The key is whether you have it in your heart. According to me, Very fake."

"But everyone in the world likes this kind of thing. You only meditate in your heart. Who knows. Only when you speak out, will everyone know your benevolence and filial piety. Anyway, you have it in your heart, so you will do that. When something comes up, it's not false." Shen Qiujun explained with a smile.

Mrs. Shen was persuaded by her daughter, and she went to visit Mrs. Lu the next day.

How can I say that back then, it was also the role of master and servant. Young people may have forgotten their consciousness, but old people have long since become a habit, and they have deeply planted that consciousness in their hearts. Therefore, when Mrs. Lu saw that she had just entered Beijing, Mrs. Shen I was really grateful for coming to visit, and said repeatedly: "I really dare not let Madam condescend to come here in person, I should have gone to Shen's residence to visit."

Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "We are both ministers of Daqi, and we are only loyal to the imperial court. How come there is no condescension? Today is just to visit fellow villagers. To be honest, I am a bit abrupt when I come here at this time, I hope you don't mind it." Strange. I came here today because I thought that when you came to Beijing, you passed through Ludi, so I wanted to inquire about the situation there."

When Mrs. Lu heard about it, she hurriedly said, "To tell you the truth, Madam, when I was passing through Ludi, I actually visited the old lady."

Mrs. Shen couldn't help exclaiming in surprise: "Is this true?" She sighed for a while and said: "The old lady is getting old, and the hometown is more and more unforgettable, and there is a big family in the capital, I really can't leave, I can’t show my filial piety in front of her old man, but luckily there are Ying’er and his wife, otherwise I’m really sorry.”

Mrs. Lu hurriedly persuaded: "Madam is extremely pure and filial. Madam is a reasonable person, so I can understand Madam's sincerity and filial piety. I went to visit Madam that day and saw that her body is strong..."

Before finishing speaking, Mrs. Shen put her palms together and said comfortingly, "Amitabha, you are really blessed by heaven."

The old lady Lu couldn't help nodding secretly, and then said in a low voice: "When I went, General Qin had already arrived in Ludi. The old lady said that she had to go to Beijing sooner or later. She would rather go earlier, which is better for both of us. So we chose a date, The eldest son will go to Beijing first, but it seems that the date is ** days later than ours, and I am afraid that we will be able to enter Beijing in three to five days."

Mrs. Shen was taken aback when she heard the words. Since that was the case, why didn't they give a message in advance. If they hadn't packed up and prepared in advance, they would still be in a hurry by that day.

Mrs. Lu also saw the unnaturalness on Mrs. Shen's face, so she wondered: "After listening to Mrs. Shen's words today, why do you seem to be completely ignorant of this matter? It stands to reason that the messenger should have arrived in the capital long ago."

Mrs. Shen hurriedly smiled and said: "It will take nearly a month on this journey, maybe something happened and it was delayed. Now the news from you is the same."

Mrs. Shen knew that Mrs. Lu was tired from traveling and traveling, so she didn't dare to disturb her too much, she wentssip a few more words, and left.

On the carriage back home, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but clenched her hands.

If she was disgusted with her hypocrisy at the beginning, now she is extremely grateful for the superficial work she did today. Otherwise, how would she know that her mother-in-law would arrive in the capital so soon, and her daughter-in-law is afraid to wait for her? You will know only after you enter the Shen residence.

Madam Shen remembered what Old Madam Lu said later, and she gritted her teeth with even more hatred.

"I've already begged the old lady to send a message as soon as she enters the capital. At that time, I will go to the outskirts with Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Shi to welcome her. It is also a friendship for many years."

Looking at it now, I am afraid that the mother-in-law didn't send anyone to deliver the letter at all, but she deliberately gave herself a blow.

Let's not talk about whether I will arrive later than those old ladies. I only said that my mother-in-law warmly invited everyone to come to the house and see the empty yard. Who will listen to my explanation?

Who knows what those people will think, even if his reputation of unfilial piety is real, although it will not be widely known in the capital, he will never be able to hold his head up in front of people who came out of Ludi.

When Mrs. Shen returned to the mansion, she was furious. It was hard to tell her daughter-in-law about such things, so she called Shen Qiujun and explained the matter in detail. Finally, she took her daughter's hand and said, "It's a good thing you let me go. This trip, otherwise I really don’t know what will happen in the future. Outsiders all know that your grandmother is a sensible and good person, but how could she do such a thing that ruined the reputation of the Shen family? For the sake of these children and grandchildren, I should be given some dignity, and if I secretly called into the room to beat and scold me, I can still resist. The Shen family's mother has a bad reputation, what good can she do?"

Shen Qiujun sighed secretly, most mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't live in harmony, both sides are her elders, and she can't praise or criticize at will, so she can only explain to her mother in a low voice: Maybe it's a misunderstanding, wait for grandma to come and ask to understand .

However, Mrs. Shen understood that she must have forced her mother-in-law away because of her daughter. She was holding a grudge. In addition to Ning'er's marriage, she was determined to make herself look good.

At night, Mrs. Shen told her husband exactly what Mrs. Lu had said. Father Shen frowned for a long time, sighed secretly, but said nothing.

The days passed quickly, and no messengers came. Finally, in the early morning five days later, Mrs. Shen received a message: Mrs. Shen has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing. (To be continued.
