Fair Lady

Everyone in the Yongping Hou Mansion started to prepare for returning to Beijing, and this time Aunt Mei was also going to the capital together.

The shops and Zhuangzi in Yulin County are now in good order, and their management is stable and competent. Aunt Mei no longer has to worry about these things, so naturally she doesn't want to be separated from Xiutao and Shuyao.

Although Shujie had released their mother and daughter's life contract three years ago, he also bought a small village, a prosperous shop, and a house under Aunt Mei's name.But the three Shujie brothers and sisters had said early on that Aunt Mei would always be the aunt of the three of them, and that Xiutao would definitely marry from Yongpinghoufu in the future, and Yongpinghoufu would always be Aunt Mei's home and Xiutao's natal home.

There are still three days left before departure, Shuyao, Lan Jin and Zi Jin are in their small study room sorting out the things they are going to take to the capital.Lan Jin smiled and said: "The Guo family is really blessed. I just heard that Mr. Guo won the position a few days ago and is a magistrate in a suburban county called Menqing County in the capital. In the early morning of this morning, Mrs. Guo gave birth to a boy. "Just now the people from Guo's family who announced the good news also arrived at Yongping Hou Mansion. Nangong Miao and Shuyao just asked a woman to send some ordinary congratulatory gifts.

Zijin also said: "Isn't that right? I heard that besides those who entered the Imperial Academy, those who were related to the new division entered the Six Departments. Most of the others went to remote counties. Mr. Guo is very powerful, and he is in the suburbs of the capital."

Shuyao smiled and said: "At any rate, he is also Chuanlu, No. 1 in the second list." Shuqing is also in her early years, and took her son to the capital, away from the sight of the messy family in Xiafu.

Lan Jin curled her lips: "The master and wife of the Xia Mansion boasted everywhere, saying that their aunt's life was good. It was Wangfu Wangzi's life. It seems that if Mr. Guo didn't marry this wife, he would fail the Jinshi exam. It’s not like the county magistrate.”

Shuyao gave her a funny look: "What does it have to do with us? Why are you being so unfair?"

……

The three masters and servants were talking and laughing, and the mother-in-law came to report that Mrs. Zhu was visiting, and led her to the flower hall.Shuyao had already told the concierge that the people from Zhen's mansion came, just let her know, and she didn't have to bother her sister-in-law.She was not afraid that Nangong Miao would not be able to cope, but that Nangong Miao was as jealous of her and Shuwen as her elder brother.You are too polite to the Zhen family.

Lan Jin snorted: "Young Master Biao is very knowledgeable, won't you come today? Ask her daughter-in-law to intercede for their family?"

Zhen Keying was engaged to Murong Zhi, and Zhen Kebao dared to come to invite Nangongmiao and Shuyao to go, and said that it was the old lady Zhen who asked, and it would be unfilial to not go.

How could the people of Yongping Hou Mansion take such a ridiculous threat into their eyes?Just more disdainful.

Zhen Kebao is a man, and Shujie is not in Yulin.Naturally, Nangong Miao and Shuyao had good reasons not to see him, and all he could see was the book that said "I've been unforgiving since I was a child".

At that time, Shuwen squinted at him and let out a "sneer": "Murong Mansion bullied my mother back then, and my mother came out of Murong Mansion and Li, and your Zhen Mansion claimed to sever ties with my mother. We were young and didn't know about it before. Think of you as your uncle's family. Do you think that the three of us, brothers and sisters, are easy to bully?

Now that the relationship has been severed, it doesn't matter if you people from the Zhen family want to marry a girl from the Murong family.It doesn't matter if we want to marry the master of Murong's family, it has nothing to do with us.Do you dare to ask us to celebrate when we are made of mud?

Mrs. Zhen is interested, go to the gate of the city and scold us for being unfilial, let everyone judge, should we honor our own mothers, or our grandmother and uncle who have severed ties with their mothers? "

Zhen Kebao was stunned on the spot, he only thought that Yulin was not the capital.Not many people knew about the fact that Zhen's family severed ties with Zhen Zirou back then. After "severing ties", his father borrowed money from Zhen Zirou and Xia Linxuan.Even though I was forced to write down an IOU, didn't I still get it?

Besides, Jin Xida and Shujie were not there, and Yulin didn't have any empress dowagers or Mrs. Marquis Weiyuan. There were only women and children in the mansion.No matter how sharp Shuwen is, he's still just a child, isn't he?

Nangongmiao is a new wife, Shuyao is a boudoir girl, Shuwen is a scholar, which one should not pay attention to reputation?

Unexpectedly, Nangong Miao and Shuyao didn't see him at all, so they forced him to wait for nearly two hours for Shuwen to come back from the school to "meet guests".While sitting in the lobby waiting, the tea was cold and there was no maid to refill it.

And the result of waiting for so long and suffering so many grievances is that Shuwen said "If you are interested, just go to the gate of the city and scold us for being unfilial"?

Zhen Kebao looked at the letter with contempt and disdain in his eyes, and felt "ashamed" for the first time, and he really regretted not listening to Zhu's words.

Mrs. Zhu refused to let him take this trip, saying that with the current strength and good reputation of the Yongping Hou Mansion, the threat from Mrs. Zhen would only be "self-inflicted humiliation".Although the Shuyao siblings are young, they are very shrewd. Nangong Miao's new wife should not be underestimated. The Nangong family is not just the richest man. Can the eldest daughter from such a family be simple?No matter what, there will always be a few powerful dowry mothers around!Can Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Lin's heads beat them?

Zhen Kebao felt that Mrs. Zhu was too pessimistic and cautious. In the capital, he would be more imaginary. He was also a little afraid of Jin Xida or those nuns and father-in-laws. Now there are only two little girls and one Shuwen.

However, when he came out of Yongping Hou Mansion in despair, he realized that Mrs. Zhu was right, but it was too late.

……

After that time, no one came to Zhen's residence for a long time, did they come to "say goodbye" knowing they were going back to Beijing?

Seeing the ridicule and disgust on Lan Jin's face, Shuyao smiled and shook her head: "Okay, I'm a guest here, and Mrs. Zhu hasn't done anything to us." In all honesty, Mrs. Zhu is a sensible person. After she married into the Zhen family, the Zhen family followed her a lot.Although the three brothers and sisters of Shuyao are not afraid that they are ignorant, but it is always more comfortable to be able to face the best things done by those best people.

When Shuyao saw Mrs. Zhu, she was shocked. They met once a year ago. It was only half a year ago, but Mrs. Zhu lost a lot of weight and her face was quite ugly, as if she was seriously ill. played a game.Maybe she knows it herself, she is wearing an orange-red trousers today, she seems to want to make herself look more energetic, but the effect is not good, anyway, Shuyao's first impression is "so haggard!"

It seems that the struggle between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Lin and Zhu is very fierce.Shuyao secretly sighed, although Zhu's family is shrewd, but Lin's family is vicious and shameless enough, it is really hard to guard against.

Mrs. Zhu now knows that she has been drugged, and she has found a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment through her natal family. Fortunately, the number of drugs has not been used much, and she will be able to recover within a year or two.

Zhu's natal family went to Zhen's house to make a big fuss, although there is no direct evidence to prove that it was Lin's hands.But Mrs. Zhu beat the mother in charge of the kitchen, one of Mrs. Lin's distant cousins, and the servant girl next to Mrs. Lin who did the medicine, and beat them fifty times in public, and threw them out of the house dying, and sold them to the lowest building. inside.It can be regarded as a slap in the face of Lin Shi without mercy, and established a strong reputation in Zhen's residence.

Lin just became an official because of Zhen Keying, and became an old lady of the official family as she wished.But for accepting such a heavy gift, she almost hated Mrs. Zhu to the bone.But she only dared to hate secretly, because what she committed this time was a serious crime that harmed the sons and grandsons of the Zhen family. The official career that was acquired will be affected.The chair of her "official old lady" is not hot yet, how can she fly like this?

There is one thing that Shuyao has never figured out.In the previous life, Lin did not prescribe medicine to Zhu!Why are there so many in this world?But that's good, anyway, it's all the internal turmoil in the Zhen residence, the more chaos the better.

When Zhu saw Shuyao coming in, she quickly stood up and said, "Sister Yao'er." Every time she saw Shuyao, Zhu felt that she had gained a bit of aura, which made her dare not despise her.

Zhu thought about it.She has been working hard to mend the relationship with Shuyao's three brothers and sisters, but the Zhen family, who is not clear about her head... makes her do useless work all the time.

She objected to Zhen Keying marrying Murong Mansion.To say that is to further sever the relationship with the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and to further damage the Zhen family's reputation.

Bewildered by the word "official", everyone in Zhen's house who wanted to make Zhen's house an official family could not listen to her words, and insisted that even if they did not marry the Murong family, the three of Shujie would not help Zhen Keying and help her. them.

But last time after Zhen Kebao went back disheartened, they thought about it and became afraid again. All the forces in the Yongping Hou Mansion are now overpowering the Murong Mansion. Isn't it easy for the three Jie brothers and sisters, and that Jin Xida to turn against them and get rid of Zhen Keying's official position?

Thinking that Shuyao and the others were going back to Beijing soon, Zhen Dafu and Zhen Kebao became more and more uneasy, so they urged Mrs. Zhu to come over to find out.

Shuyao smiled calmly: "Grandma Zhen sit down, don't be too polite."

Grandma Zhen?Zhu's heart turned cold, did she really want to sever ties with them?

Zhu's forced a smile: "Yao'er is joking about my cousin. Today, my cousin is here to bring you some special products from Daming Mansion. I specially selected some new ones on the market, and my parents also picked some to send. You bring It’s very convenient and beautiful to send someone back to the capital. Also, please help my aunt to bring a bag of tea and clothes to my cousin Li Jingui. Uh, you can ask the maid to tell the concierge. My cousin will go to Yongping by himself. Take it from the concierge of the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Zhu was very clever and didn't mention Zhen's house. The things she brought were originally bought with her own dowry money.Those people in Zhen's mansion were eager to carry things back from Yongping Hou's mansion, so how could they think of sending things?

Shuyao said with a smile: "Ling cousin's things, you can just let him go to the Hou's mansion to find the second housekeeper, Uncle Rong. As for the special products, I will accept them, thank you for your trouble. It just so happens that Zhuangzi sent a fire dragon today. If it turns out, the wives outside probably have already packed the car, Grandma Zhen will take it home, and thank Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu for us, and by the way, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu.” She still remembered doing it back then. When welcoming the boy, the two elders smiled and gave her 500 taels of silver to buy her favorite things.

Mrs. Zhu replied: "Thank you, Yaoer." The dragon fruit from the Yongping Hou Mansion is difficult to buy even if you have money.

Zhu shi secretly sighed, the Zhen family is really not smart.In fact, the three brothers and sisters of Shuyao are the kind of people who treat you well if you treat them well, just look at the neighbors who used to live on Xitang Street.

Forget it, I just take care of my own house and my dowry, and there is nothing I can do about other things.The three of Shuyao were not easy to coax when they were young, and now they are not easy to calculate.

After Mrs. Zhu left, Ms. Liu, who happened to come in, smiled and said, "She is a smart person, but it's a pity that she has a bad eye for choosing a husband and son-in-law, and she married into such a family." Then the Zhen family invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.This means that in ordinary merchants, if it is an official in the capital, it is an affair and will be criticized by others.

Shuyao also felt sorry, for someone as shrewd and flexible as Mrs. Zhu, it was really aggrieved to marry Zhen Kebao.Fortunately, she is strong herself, and her natal family is capable, so it is difficult for the Lin family to get anything good.

"Mom seems to be very happy. Is there any good news?" Shuyao suddenly found that Liu's mother looked very good today, with a smile on her face. She just went out to pick up a letter. What good news happened?

"Hehehe, the girl will know when the time comes, good thing! Good thing!" Mother Liu's expression at the moment was like a mouse falling into a rice jar full of rice.

Shuyao was stunned: "Is it related to me? Mom, don't shut up with me, talk about it." Shuyao started the seldom-used coquettish sex, and she knew that Liu's mother liked it the most.As soon as she acted like a baby, she would immediately find a ladder if she asked Mother Liu to pick the stars.

Sure enough, Mother Liu took her by the hand and went to the study, and asked Lan Jin Zi Jin to guard the door, then she lowered her voice and said with a mysterious smile: "This time when I return to Beijing, the Empress Dowager will give you a marriage."
