Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 38 Was "punished", but Ningxiang was a little happy
Back at Hou Mansion, Pei Jinghan told Ningxiang to go back to Lengmei Pavilion first, and he went to the old lady's Rong'an Hall.

The female relatives here are chatting lively.

The old lady called her granddaughter Shen Youyou to her, looked at her with a smile, and saw that the 15-year-old girl had an oval face that resembled her mother, a pair of red phoenix eyes were clean and bright, pure and charming, and the light green long skirt set off a clean and elegant bookish atmosphere, Gentle and dignified, she couldn't help but love her very much, and asked lovingly: "Your mother often praises you in letters for your good handwriting, and you can also compose poems and lyrics. Quickly read it to your grandmother."

For a girl from a rich family, character is more important than beauty. The granddaughter is both beautiful and talented, and this is the real noble girl.

Shen Youyou smiled shyly, looked at Du Shi and said: "Grandmother praised you absurdly. I just read a few more books with nothing to do. It's not as good as my mother praised. I heard that my aunt is the best at poetry, so grandma shouldn't let me play tricks on my class." .”

Mrs. Shen, the aunt, echoed: "That's right, what can she do as a little girl? I wrote all that to make you happy."

When she spoke, she smiled very kindly, and her gaze swept over the elegant but precious silks and satins on Du's body, but Madam Shen felt very uncomfortable.

What my sister-in-law is wearing now should belong to her.

She is a real noble daughter of the Hou family. She was spoiled and spoiled when she was a girl, and she grew up smoothly to the age of marriage. When she came to Beijing, she met her husband who was the son of the Duke's mansion. She was married with red makeup, what a beauty it was.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Not long after the daughter was born, the father-in-law and her husband lost the battle. The father-in-law died in the battle, and the husband lost a leg. The younger uncle served as the defense of Jingzhou.

Leaving home and leaving home, her husband was in a state of depression due to a physical disability, and spent all day in the monastery listening to monks preaching scriptures. And she has to provide for her ineffective eldest son to spend a lot of time, her dowry is getting less and less, and she has to think about making some good clothes for her daughter.

As for Mrs. Du, she was originally the daughter of the fourth-rank magistrate. After marrying into her family, she immediately lived the life of wealth that belonged to her.

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more she felt unwilling.

So she wanted her daughter to marry her nephew, who was the heir of the Hou family, so that her daughter would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and she could rely on her daughter to continue to enjoy the blessings of her natal family.The son is unreliable, and the daughter is her only hope.

When her eyes fell on her slim daughter, Mrs. Shen was filled with pride.

Her daughter is very sensible since she was born. She is easy to coax when she doesn't cry or make trouble. She can learn everything quickly when she grows up. The most rare thing is that she wants to learn by herself.For the girls in the second room, the younger siblings tried every means to force them to learn poetry, song, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her daughter didn't need her to urge her at all, and she was proficient in everything, no worse than the noble girls in the capital.

"Old lady, the prince is here."

The little maid outside the door reported with a smile.

The women in the main room all looked over.

A slender man turned around from the side of the door panel, the sun shone on his moon-white brocade robe, and his whole figure was covered with a brilliant halo.When he stepped through the door and stepped into the cool room from the sun, the brilliance outside receded, revealing his own demeanor.With long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a face like a crown of jade, he is a rare handsome man.

Shen Youyou lost her mind.

Since her family moved to Jingzhou, she has only been to the Hou's Mansion once. She was eight years old and Pei Jinghan was only thirteen. A handsome young man, he is the cousin of the noble son who needs a good relationship.

Now that seven years have passed, Pei Jinghan looks so outstanding, his skin is as fair as jade, but he doesn't look frail at all, and his gestures are full of domineering and arbitrary aura of a high-ranking person.

Shen Youyou was very satisfied.

Such a good man, it is no loss that she has carefully prepared for 15 years.

She used to be an illegitimate daughter who was despised by others. When she grew up, she was like her mother. With her outstanding beauty and proud figure, she met a rich and powerful man. The man already had a family, but she didn't care, as long as she was rich It is enough to live happily, this man is gone, and there will be another one.

Until she met a "powerful" wife and accidentally died.

Just came here, but Shen Youyou was extremely grateful to the principal, because she has status, the granddaughter of the Duke's mansion, with a noble status, no one dares to point at her and call her a bitch, and she doesn't need to envy her anymore Other women have beautiful clothes and expensive jewelry. The Shen family gave her all the things she once envied and longed for.

However, just when she imagined that one day she would run into a prince who would become a queen in the future, something happened to the Shen family suddenly.

Lost and discouraged, Shen Youyou quickly regained her morale. Even without the support of the Shen family, she still has hope in this life.

Because she is still beautiful.

She doesn't need to learn how to seduce men, and I believe that there is no one around her who is more experienced than her. What she needs to learn is what a real lady should master, rules and etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Rules and etiquette are easy to learn, and she has both the basics and talent for the skills of piano, chess, singing and dancing, which are the easiest to increase her value, and she quickly mastered them.Poetry is the simplest thing she really doesn't understand. Thanks to the different dynasties and histories, she only needs to borrow some poems from great writers to shock the people here.

And what she wants to hook is the Pei Jinghan in front of her, the highest-ranking son of the Hou family she can get in touch with at present, the future Lord Marquis.

Sensing the man's astonishing eyes, Shen Youyou blushed skillfully, and lowered her head shyly.

Pei Jinghan stared blankly at the beautiful girl next to his grandmother.In fact, in terms of beauty, Shen Youyou is worse than Suyue, but not as beautiful as Ningxiang, but firstly, Pei Jinghan can see Ningxiang Suyue almost every day, facing them without the freshness brought by Shen Youyou, secondly, he really did not expect The cute and cute cousin in my memory will appear so pure and lovely.

He stared straight at Shen Youyou.

Mrs. Du knew that her son was a flirtatious man, seeing that the sister-in-law across the way did not show any displeasure, and the old lady smiled meaningfully, she silently lowered her eyes.

"Jing Han doesn't know your cousin, does he? Look at you, you look stupid." Finally, the old lady coughed and joked with a smile.

Pei Jinghan returned to his senses, smiled frankly, first saluted Mrs. Shen, then straightened his body, looked at Shen Youyou and praised: "The eighteenth female college student has changed, and I can hardly recognize Cousin Youyou."

Shen Youyou's face was still red, and she called out to her cousin softly.

The voice was soft and the ending was unspeakably pleasant. Pei Jinghan only felt that something was touching his chest, making his whole body itch.

Not long after sitting down, Pei Zheng led his nephew Shen Kuo over.

Biao son Shen Kuo is eighteen this year, and his appearance is equally good, but he is more romantic than Pei Jinghan, and he often lingers in the flowers, but his energy and spirit are much inferior to Pei Jinghan's. An eye-catching Mr. Pianpian.

Pei Jinghan loves beauties and has no interest in men. Knowing that Shen Kuo is not promising, his attitude towards this cousin is very perfunctory.

After the family banquet at noon, Shen Youyou followed her mother to another courtyard to rest, and then Pei Jinghan returned to Lengmei Pavilion with a little drunkenness.

Su Yue Ningxiang served him together.

"I'm going to visit the garden with my cousin girl in the afternoon, you guys call me in half an hour." Lying on the bed, Pei Jinghan closed his eyes and ordered.

"Understood." Su Yue replied softly.

"Go down." Pei Jinghan said lightly.

Ningxiang Suyue looked at each other and turned around together.

With the sound of footsteps far away, Pei Jinghan suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to see Ning Xiang's slim figure following Su Yue.

This little maid's thoughts seemed to be somewhat different from what he thought.

But now he is more interested in his cousin, and he will ask her seriously after her cousin leaves.

In the main room, Ning Xiang sat on a chair, staring at the tea bowl in her hand in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Yue moved to sit next to her and asked in a soft voice. They couldn't sleep when Pei Jinghan was sleeping, and they were always ready to be called.

Ningxiang turned to look at her.

She was thinking about the grievances between Su Yue and Shen Youyou.Looking back on her previous life now, Shen Youyou seemed gentle and kind, but she couldn't tolerate others. She kept avoiding Pei Jinghan until the end and finally offended Shen Youyou. Suyue, who had been taken over by Pei Jinghan early on, suffered a lot of grievances both openly and secretly.

Now that Su Yue is also considering leaving the house, she doesn't have to worry about Su Yue and Shen Youyou's unhappiness for the time being, but thinking of the deep hatred between the two, she always feels uneasy.

"I heard that the old lady likes the cousin girl very much, and she intends to match her with the prince, you know that, right?" Ning Xiang whispered.

Su Yue nodded, and joked naturally: "Cousin and cousin, they are a natural couple. The old people in the house say that the aunt was very beautiful when she was young, and she is not bad if she wants to be a cousin."

Ning Xiang murmured, considered the words, and reminded her tactfully: "The son is handsome, and I guess the cousin girl also wants to marry him, so if the cousin knows how the son thinks about us, she will definitely be unhappy, so Let's be more careful when dealing with her in the future?"

As long as they all show resistance to Pei Jinghan, Shen Youyou's hostility towards them will be less, and it will be easier for her and Su Yue to beg Shen Youyou to let them go out of the house when Pei Jinghan goes out in the future.

Her little thoughts were written all over her face, Su Yue nodded with a smile, and boasted in a low voice: "That makes sense, I'll listen to you."

She is such a simple and silly girl. There is only one real good person in the Hou's mansion. Instead of begging the cruel Shen Youyou a year later, it is better to take advantage of Pei Jinghan to see off the aunt and the others. Still in that person's hands.

The two sisters whispered, and half an hour passed without knowing it.

The second daughter went in and called Pei Jinghan to get up, and then one served water, and the other stood in front of the closet to choose clothes for him to wear in the afternoon.

Pei Jinghan was still a little sleepy, lazily leaning on the bedside to watch them tidy up, his eyes cleared up, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Ningxiang will stay in Lengmei Pavilion for a while, Suyue will follow me to serve."

The point of this sentence is Su Yue, but his phoenix eyes are looking at Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang was puzzled by this arrangement, and looked at him suspiciously after putting away the water basin, met the man's cold eyes, and suddenly understood.

Pei Jinghan was punishing her for her ignorance.

Being fined, Ning Xiang was a little happy, she lowered her head in time to cover it up, and only used her eyes to remind Su Yue to be careful when sending the two off.
