Fair Lady

After all, the Chen family is an aristocratic family, and as soon as Shuyao stepped into Chengyibo's mansion, she felt the fragrance of books.

Zhang's mother beside Nian'er was waiting at the gate early, with a smiling face like a blooming chrysanthemum.Xu Nian'er became a man in one fell swoop, and the backs of the people around her became even straighter.

Zhang's mother now has more respect and affection for Shuyao, on the one hand, because Shuyao's status is more valuable, and she is already above her own girl.Zhang's mother hoped that Xu Nian'er could maintain a good relationship with Shuyao, not to mention anything else, even in Chen's mansion, the master and wife should pay more attention to Xu Nian'er.

Another more important reason is that Xu's mother privately believes that Shuyao is someone who can bring good fortune to relatives and friends around her, and those who get along well with the three brothers and sisters of Shuyao are blessed.Needless to say, those neighbors in Yulin County, if you look closely, they are all vivid examples.

Look, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou got a daughter as she wished, and the queen is even more powerful. After Concubine Li lost her twins, she got a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. Now Xu Nian'er also got a boy in one fell swoop...

Anyway, Mama Zhang has seen and experienced it with her own eyes. Since Xu Nianer returned to Yulin a few years ago and made friends with Shuyao, she has become more and more beautiful, her temperament has become more cheerful, she has married a good husband, and her natal family has become more and more powerful , and now she has given birth to the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family... In short, except that the mother-in-law is a bit annoying and the sister-in-law is a bit domineering, it can be regarded as smooth sailing.

On the other hand, looking at those who had a bad relationship with the three brothers and sisters of Shuyao, the "unlucky" of the Murong Mansion is now the most lively topic in the streets and alleys, and Xia Ruoxue, and the second wife of the Xu family are all unlucky reminders.

Chen Wenhao and Xu Nian'er are the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and their courtyard is the main courtyard in the entire mansion except for the Chengyi couple.Biggest and nicest yard.Stepping into the courtyard gate, Shuyao, who has sensitive five senses, smelled the light and pleasant fragrance of bamboo.

Mama Zhang smiled and said, "My uncle loves bamboo. There is a small bamboo grove behind the yard, and Grandma likes it very much now." After marrying into the Chen Mansion, Mama Zhang and other servants who came over as a dowry also called Nian'er "Grandma".

Shuyao pursed her lips and smiled, literati always like the elegant and indifferent "Four Gentlemen" of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, as long as the noble family is not downcast and the mansion is large enough, there will probably be a bamboo or plum grove.Even both, as a symbol of their noble character.

However, the reputation of Chen Fu and Chen Wenhao has always been good. Chen Wenhao and Shu Jie are Jinshi of the same discipline. Now they are working in the Ministry of Rites. It is said that they work hard and do not exaggerate.The prospects are good.

Arriving at Nian'er's bedroom, Shuyao saw Nian'er stretching out her neck to look out at a glance, "Pu Chi" said with a smile: "Sister Nian'er, your neck is already slender and beautiful enough, you don't need to stretch it out anymore. "

Nian'er spat: "Okay, Yao'er, I haven't seen you for three years. You even made fun of me, sister."

Xu Nian'er was obviously fuller, and there were a few small spots on her fair face.It looks a little less charming, but it adds a little bit of the charm of a young woman and the connotation of being a new mother. Shuyao really thinks that Xu Nian'er is more beautiful like this.She suddenly thought of a saying she had heard before, that a woman is the most beautiful when she is a mother, and a woman without a mother is incomplete.The stillborn child in her previous life was an unbearable pain for her. How many times she dreamed back at midnight, it was all the shock, pain, and hatred at that time.I don't know if any poor child has been reincarnated?Where is reincarnation?

In this world, what direction can her life take?Will the nightmare of the previous life repeat itself?Will she still fall into marriage?Qi Haoning's firm voice sounded in Shuyao's ear: Yao'er.Believe me.

"Trust me" is easy to say, but really hard to do!However, since Shuyao has decided to give herself and Qi Haoning a chance, she will naturally not give up easily. If she doesn't try, wouldn't there be no hope at all?

Seeing Shuyao staring at her thoughtfully, Nian'er touched her face unconfidently: "Sister Yao'er, am I ugly now?" After pregnancy, she gained a lot of weight, her arms, waist, legs It's all thick.

Shuyao gave her a false look: "What's so ugly? I was just about to say that sister Nian'er is more beautiful than before. You didn't realize that I was dumbfounded?"

Nian'er spat again, and scolded with a smile: "Smelly girl, where did you learn to speak? Well, could it be that Ning Shizi is so glib?"

Shuyao's face turned red: "What does this have to do with Ning Shizi? How did he offend my sister? He was wronged for nothing." Just as Shuyao finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, and looked at Nian'er with a smile that was not a smile Looking at her blinking, her pretty face became more and more red to the point of bleeding.

As soon as she stomped her feet, Shuyao began to play coquettishly: "She sincerely praised her sister, but she was teased, and she refused to obey. It was in vain for me to bother to prepare a special gift for my little nephew, and now I have to take it back."

Nian'er pointed at Shuyao and said with a smile, "Aren't you ashamed? Are you an aunt? Even if I offend you, the baby doesn't offend you. How can you withhold the baby's gift? Hurry up and take it out!"

The two were chatting and joking, the maid reported that the wife and the third girl had come, and before the maid finished speaking, Mrs. Chengyi had already stepped through the door with Chen Yueying.

Mrs. Chen looked over with a smile on her face, and her eyes just fell on the gold inlaid jade longevity lock in Shuyao's hand, and then looked at the gifts that were full of them, they were all first-class good things, and her face was even more blooming .Now Shuyao is really a wealthy person, very noble and rich.

Mrs. Chen stepped forward and took Shuyao's hand, smiling like an elder: "My daughter has changed eighteen times, and Miss Yao'er is getting more and more beautiful. Our Dalang (Nian'er's son) is very lucky. , has such a beautiful and excellent aunt who loves him very much."

Shuyao felt that she was not familiar with Mrs. Chen, but for Nian'er's sake, she couldn't withdraw her hand in a hurry, and felt awkward. Hearing Mrs. Chen's words again, she couldn't laugh or cry, let alone her Not the baby's real aunt, even if it is the real aunt, beautiful or not, excellent or not, it's not the baby's blessing, right?

Xu Nian'er was also very embarrassed, looking at her mother-in-law's posture, it seemed that Shuyao was her daughter or daughter-in-law who had always been close to her.

In Nian'er's heart, Shuyao is the well-behaved and intelligent little sister who has been friends since childhood, and the relationship between them has not been contaminated by any other miscellaneous factors.Shuyao's life is getting better and better, and her status is getting higher and higher. She is really happy for Shuyao, but she never thought that she could get any benefits from Shuyao.

Nian'er is an easy-going, open-minded woman who doesn't have a lot of luxury and luxury. She is very satisfied with her husband-in-law and her living conditions.Nian'er's father, Mr. Xu, was very satisfied with Chen Wenhao's steady progress. He praised his son-in-law to Nian'er several times for his steady progress step by step, isn't that enough?The Chen family is not considered wealthy, but it is also a noble family, an imperial gifted earl, and Nian'er herself has a generous dowry, which is more than the top and the bottom.

Nian'er really didn't feel that she had any need to compare with or cling to sister Yao'er, if she did, she would despise herself, because she would despise her and Shuyao's close friends for many years.

If Mrs. Chen knew about Nian'er's thoughts, she would jump up in anger and scold her for being worthless and not able to help the husband.

Mrs. Chen is also from a scholarly family. She has been married to the Chen family for more than 20 years. She has always had a sense of superiority, but since her husband was made an earl and the whole family moved to the capital, they have been disturbed by the prosperity of the capital and by those real wealthy families. Lost.Although the Chen family is an earl of sincerity, it is not hereditary. After a hundred years of uncle, the aura of the Chen family will disappear.

Scholars from generation to generation in the Chen family are not good at making money even if they are officials, and they don't have much influence and connections in the officialdom.For example, Bo Cheng was awarded the title because of his and his deceased father's achievements in compiling history books and popularizing teaching materials (the current emperor does not need to "fool" the people, and believes that "everyone knows the etiquette and reason, and the Great Zhou can Enduring prosperity").

Therefore, in the eyes of Mrs. Chen, the current glory of the Chengyi Mansion is just a beautiful soap bubble, which is not solid and has no strength, and it will burst in a few decades.

How can people who have already tasted the deliciousness of shark fin be willing to go back to eat vermicelli?Mrs. Chen pinned all her hopes on a pair of sons and daughters. Unfortunately, although her son passed the Jinshi examination, he failed to win the honor of the top three. Although he is doing well in the Ministry of Rites, if there is no background and strong relationship, it will be slow and difficult. when?However, the Chengyi House is almost the most powerful and unconnected family in the capital even though it has a title.

As for Chen Yueying's marriage, it was even more of a headache for her, whether high or low, their mother and daughter naturally wanted to choose the eldest son of a powerful family, preferably the eldest son, but such a family chose a daughter-in-law, especially a daughter-in-law. Picky, and looked down on the Chen family and Chen Yueying, let alone the eldest daughter-in-law.Ten days later it will be Chen Yueying's marriage ceremony, but the marriage has not been settled until now.

It's been a year since I've been in the capital, and Madam Chen has been running around, but it's all about saving face, and she hasn't climbed into any heavyweight and powerful family.The Chen family is a scholarly family, not poor, but there is absolutely no extra money for her to cling to those extravagant relationships.

After all, my daughter-in-law has Shuyao's handkerchief here, can she not grab it?Climb to Shuyao means to climb to Yongpinghou Mansion, Wenyuanhou Mansion, and even Weiyuanhou Mansion and Nangong Mansion. Now it is even more powerful, directly climbing to Prince Yong's Mansion.Prince Yong is the only hereditary prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is also a prince who is highly valued by the emperor and holds military power!Extraordinary dignitaries!

Climb to Prince Yong's Mansion, does Chen Wenhao need to worry about his future?Even Chen Yueying, if she can make friends with the future Prince Yong, her worth will be doubled, right?

It's a pity that Nian'er is pure and noble, and doesn't care about such things, and Chen Yueying has offended Shuyao even more. Mrs. Chen has seen Shuyao's estranged attitude towards Chen Yueying with her own eyes.

At this moment, Mrs. Chen looked at Shuyao in a goose-yellow gauze dress (that is the new snow-sand fine sand produced by Nangong cloth village this year, and the material for a dress costs at least 200 taels of silver), the more she looked at it, the more she felt extravagant It is compelling, the more I look at it, the more I like it, excitedly said: "I am happy when I look at Yaoer girl, and I feel kind, like facing Yinger. By the way, I said what's going on, just I feel that Yao'er and Ying'er have a very similar temperament, and I feel that they are very destined, how about you two become sisters with different surnames, and the same Nian'er is a little closer, and become sister-in-law?"
