reborn child bride

Chapter 556 Old Man (1) ([-])
In the evening, Xiao Zhizhi pulled Shen to send: "Mother, tell a story, tell a snake to repay your kindness."

Snake Repaying Grace is naturally "Legend of the White Snake", but it is simplified a bit, and some content that is not suitable for children has been deleted.Xiaozhizhi likes to listen to it very much.

Wei Ying came out from the inner room and said with a smile: "Your mother will get up early tomorrow, and go to bed earlier tonight. Let's tell the story later."

Only then did Xiao Zhizhi think of this matter, so he nodded and retreated.

Shen Ji was thinking that he didn't go to bed so early on weekdays, and he couldn't fall asleep in bed now, so he was hugged by Wei Ying, "Come, let's lie on the bed and rest together."

Shen Ji punched him and said it nicely, is he a person who can cover a quilt and just chat?Just now she said that she was going to get up early tomorrow and coaxed Xiao Zhizhi away, with a very considerate look.

"Didn't you just lie down?" Shen Ji grabbed Wei Ying's hand.

"Move before going to bed to sleep more peacefully. Don't worry, I will definitely wake you up tomorrow. There will be no delay. You will sleep well every time... from now on."

That's because I'm tired of being tormented by you!Naturally, Shen Ji had no chance to say it.In the end, she was indeed tired and fell asleep peacefully.Even Wei Ying helping her put the clothes on in the morning didn't wake her up.

She was slapped gently on the face a few times before she woke up, "Xiao Ji wake up, it's almost time!"

"Oh." Shen Ji quickly called someone to come in and dress accordingly.Finally, I really felt the benefits of buying this house, and I was able to sleep for an extra half an hour this morning.Thinking about Wei Ying being able to sleep for a while longer every day, Shen Ji immediately felt that more than 5 taels of snowflakes and silver flowers were worth it.Their small house has now been rented out, and they can get 500 taels of silver a year.All things added up, Shen Ji now has 2000 taels of cash in his hand.The money is left for nothing.That's why she came up with the idea of ​​opening a house again.

After drinking a bowl of thick ginseng soup, Shen Ji and Wei Ying went out together.Today, the court officials went to accompany the emperor to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and the married women went to accompany the queen mother, but men and women are different.

It was early in the summer, and the outside could already be seen clearly.After sitting in the sedan chair for a quarter of an hour, Shen Ji arrived at the gate of the palace where the wives gathered.She is now the fourth rank, and her position is still quite low.But as soon as she went, she saw Xu Wu, who had arrived earlier, nodding at her, surrounded by a group of people talking.Shen Ji also responded with a smile, but did not go over.She has become estranged from the Lin family, and Xu Wupo's family is honorable, and she is not in the same social circle as Wei Ying, a Qingliu who was born in the imperial examination.She and Xu Wu naturally drifted away.Shen Ji stood at his place, and greeted a group of fourth-rank Gaoming.

The smile on Xu Wu's face showed a trace of astringency.She looked at Shen Ji's comfort in his eyebrows and eyes, and was envious.In order to spread the branches and spread the leaves, the family took in two more concubines for the husband-in-law, and naturally there were more things in the backyard.How can it compare to Shen Ji's having no parents-in-law, loving husband and son-in-law, having both children and being the master of the family?If she could watch over her husband and son-in-law like she did, she would rather bear the name of jealousy.It's just that the elders in the family may not be able to tolerate it.

After a while, all the foreign wives arrived.Afterwards, someone led the crowd to salute the empress dowager who had been promoted to the throne.I haven't seen her for two years, and the appearance of the Queen Mother hasn't changed much. Seeing that she is in good spirits, Shen Ji kowtows to everyone behind her.Beside the Queen Mother, Fuye and Princess Daiyue are on the left and right.There are several smaller princesses, and Dan Zhu is among them.

Originally, the foreign wives came in and kowtowed, and most of them dispersed.After all, most of them are the head mothers of the family, and they are still busy during the Dragon Boat Festival.However, Shen Ji was ordered by the Queen Mother to stay and watch the dragon boat race.She thought that she had entrusted it to Mrs. Wang at home, and Little Sesame and Little Baozi liked this sixth aunt quite a bit, and there was Brother Xin playing with him, so it shouldn't be a problem.As for Zhongfu, Mrs. Wang can help her take care of anyone who comes and goes.So he entrusted the palace man with money to go to the gate of the palace and talk to Old Zhao, asking him to send a young man back to report the news.

The empress dowager kept Shen Ji because she was praised by the emperor before, and now she is considered a role model.The foreign wives who are left today, except for those first-rank and second-rank old imperial orders who used to go to the palace to chat with the queen mother, that is, the well-trained Mrs. Wang and Shen Ji.This is a great honor.

Fu Ye sent someone to tell Shen Ji that since she was left behind to watch the dragon boat race, you can sit with her later so as not to be pushed behind.Dan Zhu ran over and pulled Shen Ji's sleeve and asked, "Auntie, where's Xiao Zhima?"

"She can't come in today. We have a lot of small animals in our house, let's go back to the Princess and have a look."

"Yeah." Dan Zhu had the impression that this aunt's house was very fun, so he immediately agreed.

The Empress Dowager was talking to a few old imperial servants, while the others stood beside her.Fu Ye stood behind the queen mother, and occasionally said a few witty words when the queen mother was talking to the old orders.Princess Daiyue shook her palace fan and talked to Princess Lan next to her.

Shen Ji stood beside him in a dignified manner, and answered respectfully when the old man asked her something.She also saw Dong Yu'er, her complexion was not very good, and she was with a group of low-ranking concubines.

"Queen Mother, the dragon boat race has just begun, and the emperor ordered the servants to come and invite you, so let's go."

At this time, although Shen Ji was hanging at home, he had to cheer up and watch the dragon boat with him.Fortunately, there are many people making fun of the queen mother, but she is not alone, and there is no intention of talking to her specifically.The location of Fuye has a good view, and the entire Royal Garden Pool can be seen at a glance.She had heard about the dragon boat race in the palace for a long time, so she watched it wholeheartedly.Upstairs next to Yanbo Zhishuang, the emperor and his ministers are writing poems together, and good lines come out from time to time.Then the musicians improvised and the diva sang.For a while, the festive atmosphere was very strong.

One of Wei Ying's poems was also selected and composed, it seems that today he also won the honor of accompanying the driver.The couple showed their faces today.Shen Ji was thinking about it, the first dragon boat had already passed the line, because it was a festival, it was not too restrictive.The maids and eunuchs on the field burst into joy.But there was a discordant voice sounding nearby, "Yugui has fainted..."

Shen Ji turned his head to look over, Dong Yu'er was sitting on the seat, but now she fell on the maid.

And the Queen Mother's "reward" was stuck in her throat abruptly, Fuye was so close here, Shen Ji frowned displeasedly when she saw her.The imperial concubine stood up and walked over, and asked to find a spring stool to carry him back to the imperial doctor.Then he came over and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the concubines also go and have a look."

The queen mother glanced at her, then nodded, "It's nothing, you should come back earlier."

"Yes."

The dragon boat race was over, but it took about a quarter of an hour.Of course not only this activity, but also some water performances.Shen Ji took a crystal rice dumpling from the table and ate it, and asked Fuye in a low voice, "Danzhu always stays with the Queen Mother on occasions like this?"
