The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter Forty Nine

But the least thing in this world is to know it a long time ago.

If she had known it earlier, Shen Zi would not cry or make trouble, and marry Yong Ningbo happily, so as not only to marry in a hurry, but also to cut off her dowry, even the two younger sisters would complain, if not Xu Concubine Side and Shen Zi promised that they would be compensated when the time comes, and the three sisters created a rift.

Before Mrs. Yonglehou got along with her, she heard that there was a maid telling him that Shizi Yonglehou came over. As soon as he came in, he saw his mother's face full of embarrassment, and Yun Niang, who was standing next to her mother, looked aggrieved with tears in her eyes. His wife, Shen Qi, looked helpless, while his wife and sister were preparing to taste the cakes on the plate.

"What's wrong?" Yongle Hou Shizi looked around and asked with a smile.

"Cousin." Yun Niang couldn't help crying anymore, her voice full of grievances.

This voice made Yongle Hou Shizi feel soft and said, "What's wrong with my cousin? But what happened?" He couldn't help but walked over.

Shen Jin also felt very puzzled, so he asked, "Yeah, why are you crying?"

As soon as these words came out, Yongle Hou Shizi looked at his wife who was sitting aside, and he paused in his footsteps and did not console Yun Niang. After all, Shen Jin was also there. If he returned to the Rui Palace to say something, I was afraid it would be wrong.

"Obviously you said the wrong thing yourself." Shen Jin frowned and said, "You did not admit your mistakes, but you acted like this..."

Madam Zhao said, "Madam, let's go back, I'm afraid Yongle Houfu will not welcome you."

Shen Jin always listened to Mother Zhao's words and nodded and said, "Mrs., eldest sister-in-law, eldest sister, I will leave first." Then he got up to leave.

And Mrs. Yonglehou could see that Shen Jin was not making a gesture, she was really going to leave as soon as it was passed. If this spreads out, would they still be a man in Yonglehoufu? Yongle Houfu chased away Mrs. Yongningbo for the concubine of a elder son, and it turned into a joke in the capital.

"Mrs. Bo..." Mrs. Yonglehou didn't rely on the old to sell the old, and quickly got up and shouted, "Qi'er, go and stop your sister."

Shen Qi really got up, but instead of stopping Shen Jin, he cried, "My sister takes my sister to go. My sister invited her to come, but she was humiliated..." He was about to leave with Shen Jin. .

Where did Shen Jin have seen Shen Qi look like this, and quickly took Shen Qi's hand and said, "Sister, don't want to say that. You are kind to your sister, and your sister remembers it."

"What the **** is going on?" Yongle Hou Shizi was confused and looked at his mother and wife. Although Yun Niang was crying and crying extremely beautifully, Yongle Hou Shizi's attention was attracted by Shen Qi. After all, Shen Zi seldom cries, and Yun Niang is sentimental. Although she is not at the point of falling into tears, she is not much worse. If it were not for the beauty of crying, I am afraid that it would have been annoying.

Mrs. Yonglehou also stepped forward and took Shen Qi's arm. After all, Shen Qi is her daughter-in-law, and Shen Jin is Mrs. Yongningbo, who is also a killer. "I will definitely give Mrs. Yongningbo an explanation."

In this situation, Shen Jin is not easy to leave, and Shen Qi also said, "Good sister, just treat it as a little bit of noodles for your sister, and keep it for a while. If it is...sister will never persuade."

Shen Jin looked at Grandma Zhao, and Grandma Zhao nodded slightly before Shen Jin said, "Okay."

Mrs. Yonglehou hurriedly asked the maid to take the water and glanced at Yonglehoushizi. Yonglehoushizi personally made a veil for Shen Qi to clean his face, and then said, "If you have any grievances, please tell me."

Niang Yun was already crying pale, but she didn't make people feel embarrassed, on the contrary, she had a pitiful taste. If it weren't for the help of the maid, she seemed to be soft to the ground, she walked to Shen Jin. In front of him, he let go of the maid’s hand, holding his belly with one hand to the waist, kneeling down very weakly, and saying, “Mrs. Bo, it’s all little girls who are overpowering and offend Mrs. Bo. If it’s Mrs. Bo If you want to blame, blame the little girl alone, it has nothing to do with Yongle Houfu." Then he looked at Shen Qi, "Madam, it's all my fault, I am humble..."

"Why didn't you call her sister?" Shen Jin was drinking tea when Yun Niang said, and asked when she put down the tea cup.

Yun Niang almost didn't come up in a breath, her heart was so flustered, she looked at Shen Jin, she didn't have the triumph or other look she thought she thought, as if she had found a question and asked it out, it was a matter of course.

Yongle Hou Shizi was distressed because of Niang Yun, who knew she was interrupted by a sentence from Shen Jin, as if the feelings that had been brewed disappeared all at once, and even if it was brewing, it would not have the first kind.

Shen Jin frowned and looked at Yun Niang's belly and said, "Why don't you care for the child in your belly so much?" It was like reproaching and caring.

Yongle Hou Shizi's expression eased a little. At least Shen Jin was very gentle towards his children, and had a similar attitude to his wife, so he said, "Yes, Yunniang, stand up quickly and don't hurt the child." He helped Yun Niang up.

Shen Jin heard Yongle Hou Shizi talking, remembered her first question, and accused, "Brother-in-law, since she is your cousin, she is pregnant, why doesn't her husband be with her?"

Yongle Hou Shizi looked at Shen Jin who was speaking righteously with a surprised expression.

Madam Zhao whispered a word in Shen Jin's ear, and Shen Jin suddenly realized, "So this is your concubine."

Madam Yonglehou said embarrassedly, "Mrs. Bo, Yunniang is my son's concubine."

"Then why does she still call you aunt?" Shen Jin looked at Mrs. Yonglehou, and then at Yonglehoushizi, "My brother-in-law is called my cousin?" The last gaze fell on Shen Qi, "My eldest sister called Sister? Then call me younger sister?"

Speaking of the last sentence, Shen Jin remembered the incident that Grandma Zhao was angry just now and wanted to take her away, and asked, "When did I have such an older sister in Yongning Bo Mansion?"

Yongle Hou Shizi's face changed drastically. He looked at Yun Niang and then at his mother, and saw her mother nodding slightly. He believed that it was true. Normally he didn't think there was anything wrong with Yun Niang's name, but she actually did. Mrs. Guan Yongning Bo called his sister? Really speaking, Yong Ningbo's status is higher than his elder son, and Yong Ningbo holds the military power, even if Yongle waits to see him, he has to give in a little bit.

And now, his concubine is calling Mrs. Yongningbo his sister? It’s no wonder that if it weren’t for Mrs. Yongningbo’s good temper and Shen Qi’s face, I’m afraid this thing wouldn’t be the way it is now, and it’s even harder to be kind. There are still a few younger brothers under his son. Coveted, those good brothers would definitely not mind kicking him down and be the son of this world by himself.

Madam Yonglehou sternly reprimanded, "Ms. Yun, don't bark in the future. Since you are a concubine, you should do your duty as a concubine."

"Auntie, don't be angry." Shen Jin persuaded softly, "I think the rules are not good. Before we got married, the mother and concubine specially invited the grandmother in the palace to teach the rules." Then she looked at Shen. Qi.

Shen Qi's eyes were still slightly red, and he sighed after hearing the words, "Well, I will go back to the house tomorrow, and ask the mothers of the two palaces to teach Niang Yun." Before Mrs. Yonglehou refused, she continued. , "Thanks to my sister who came here today, what if you change her person?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yonglehou stopped talking, but he felt that his wife was thinking well, and then looked at Shen Jin and said, "Sister, this time it’s the brother-in-law that’s not good, so we will have a special dinner for the third brother-in-law. Come to drink with you to make amends."

"Forget it." Seeing that Shen Qi had a solution, Shen Jin said when he saw that Grandma Zhao hadn't moved. "It's just brother-in-law, since it's your concubine's room, don't let her do the maid's work in the future. It’s her liking. It’s okay to wait until the baby is born.

Yongle Hou Shizi was confused, and Shen Jin was not interested in saying anything more. Yun Niang knew in her heart that if she really asked Shen Qi to invite a maid from the palace, she would be in danger, so she looked up slightly. Shen Qi pleaded, "Madam, slave... the slave and maid will never dare anymore." When it comes to the slave and the maid, it seems to endure the humiliation and pain, but it evokes a lot of pity from Yongle Hou Shizi, slightly lowering his eyes and touching the already. Xianhuai's belly, "The servant girl is already a month old. If you don't wait for the child to be born, the servant girl will follow the mother and learn the rules at that time."

Shen Qi seemed to have thought of something suddenly, pursing his lips and looking at Madam Yonglehou with some embarrassment.

Instead, Shen Jin asked, "You have to learn the rules when you have a child, what about the child? Who will take care of it?" She likes children the most. Although the child's biological mother is a bit unflattering, the child is innocent.

Yongle Hou Shizi looked at Shen Qi. Shen Qi just didn't see his eyes. Shen Jin thought of what Yongle Hou Shizi said yesterday, looked at it and asked, "Do you want my sister to give you the idea of ​​raising a child? "

"This is the first child of the world's son, so naturally I must be raised by his wife." Yun Niang has a bit of IQ, and didn't say anything about the eldest son, but the meaning in the words is very clear.

Shen Jin frowned, looked at Mrs. Yonglehou, and said, "Auntie shouldn't agree, right?"

Shen Qi wiped the corners of his eyes with a kerchief, covered the sneer on his face, and said, "The mother-in-law is not the kind of person who is ignorant of etiquette. Naturally, she won't agree. I am afraid that the husband will be confused for a while and will be in front of my mother I said that, but I didn’t have time to talk to Yun Niang before my husband came back yesterday."

Mrs. Yonglehou glanced at her son, and then at the begging Yunniang, she thought for a while, still felt that the status of the daughter-in-law was too high, she always tried to suppress it, otherwise the Yonglehou mansion might not have her to speak. So she said, "Qi'er is the most filial piety. I think she didn't pay attention to the birth of the baby for a while. It is inevitable that she will feel empty and miss the child, so I want to wait for Yunniang's child to be born and hug Qi'er. Go and raise."

Did not notice? Shen Qi hated in her heart that she couldn't pay attention every day for the child in her belly. Many of the things she loved to eat in the past were no longer eaten and only used something that was good for the child.

"I have a brother-in-law with my sister." Shen Jin said, "If my sister really feels lonely, I also have a nest of snow rabbits, and I write a letter and let me send a few. It's very cute."

Mrs. Yonglehou only feels that Shen Jin is too shameless. Her son is a man who has to do important things. How can he always accompany Shen Qi, "Yunniang is also a good concubine, different from ordinary concubine rooms."

"Aren't they all concubines?" Shen Jin asked back, "I remember that only a side room can be set up next to a knight or higher." After finishing speaking, she looked at Madam Zhao with a little uncertainty, "Ma'am, am I right? Or has the rules changed in the capital, I don't know?"

What kind of concubine, in the final analysis, is no different from the concubine's room, except that it sounds good to be deceived and deceived. Madam Zhao said in a deep voice, "What the lady said is correct."

Shen Jin looked at Mrs. Yonglehou, as if asking, why are all concubines different in your mouth?

How did Mrs. Yonglehou answer this? Is it possible to say that because they are her relatives?

Niang Yun lowered her eyes slightly, pressed the hand of the maid gently, the maid rolled her eyes, and said, "My girl is an expensive concubine, so naturally it is different from an ordinary concubine's room."

Shen Jin was stunned, and looked at the maid beside Yun Niang in amazement, and Shen Qi angrily scolded, "What nonsense!"

"Madam, don't want to be angry, this is what Shi Ziye said personally." The maid was not afraid of Shen Qi at all, retorted.

"Applause." Shen Qi said sharply.

Before everyone else could react, the maid behind Shen Qi went over and pulled the maid over, and then the other maid slammed it up, Yun Niang exclaimed, Yongle waiting for the son is still there. Thinking about when he said that when he saw such a situation, he said quickly, "Madam, in front of my mother..."

Mrs. Yonglehou also understood. She interrupted her son and pointed to the girl and said, "Hit me hard, no, drag me out and beat me to death."

"Mother..." Yongle Hou Shizi called.

Niang Yun was soft enough to be in Yongle Hou Shizi, "Auntie, that was the girl who followed me since I was a child... My mother personally chose the maid for me... I beg my aunt to spare her life." Then she confronted her again. Shen Qi knelt down and begged, "It's all this maid's nonsense that angered the madam, what kind of concubine... I am such a humble status, wherever I can take it, as long as I can stay with my cousin, I will be Any maid will do, please madam..."

"Madam." Yongle Hou Shizi also shouted.

Shen Jin was full of horror, and stretched out his hand to pull Shen Qi and said, "Sister, this... you should go back to your father with me quickly."

Yongle Hou Shizi glared at Shen Jin. Shen Jin was not afraid of him at all, and said unceremoniously, "Shizi, you concubine are the remnants of the previous dynasty!"

The four words of the remnant of the previous dynasty also scared the son of Yonglehou awake, and looked at Mrs. Yonglehou, only then understood why she had to beat the talking maid to death. Tianqichao didn’t say anything about expensive concubines, and There are good concubines, referring to those concubine rooms that have no sales contract, and they are brought in seriously, not the maids who have risen up.

The founding emperor of the Apocalypse dynasty suffered from the loss of your concubine when he was a child. In the previous dynasty, there was a saying of a concubine, which was only lower in status than the main house. After the death of the main house, he could be promoted to the successor, the heir of the noble concubine. In the case where there is no prostitute in the main room, the family property can be inherited.

But her concubine's room can only be a concubine's room for the rest of her life, it is impossible to be a concubine's room at all.

The birth mother of the founding emperor of the Tianqi Dynasty was killed by the concubine his father took, and even the emperor was almost killed. In the end, the emperor enlisted as a soldier in order to avoid the mutilation. At that time, the status of soldiers was extremely low. Later, the previous dynasty was in great chaos. The emperor rises up and successfully rebels with a group of people.

After the founding of the Apocalypse Dynasty, the emperor ordered the abolition of the noble concubine regulations. All concubine rooms could not be uprighted, and the children from the concubine room were not allowed to assume the title unless they had the consent of the main room and the main room father.

"What the remnants of the previous dynasty!" Niang Yun knew the seriousness of this crime, and she couldn't care about anything, she said bluntly, "Mrs. Yongningbo, will you wrong me if you move your lips? I know you are trying to vent your anger to your wife. You are sisters, but also..."

"Shut up." Yongle Hou Shizi slapped him and cursed, "Idiot."

Mrs. Yonglehou's whole body was weakened, and she was supported by the maid behind her, "What kind of evil did I do? What an expensive concubine, you maid spread rumors and dragged it out to kill!"

Shen Qi also took Shen Jin's hand with a panic on his face and pleaded, "Sister, I don't know where this little girl heard it from, there is absolutely no expensive concubine in our house... You believe your sister, your brother-in-law is not so confused. I’ll be my sister, please, okay."

Shen Jin was shocked when he saw Shen Qi like this for the first time, and said, "Sister, I won't say anything, I just pretend not to hear, don't...please don't ask for anything, don't be like this."

Shen Qi leaned on Shen Jin weakly and said, "I thank you for this matter as my sister."

Madam Yonglehou said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Yongningbo is kind, but I can't take it for granted."

This is awe-inspiring, but was it possible to take Shen Qi's concession as a matter of course at the beginning?

"Come here, send the Xue family to Zhuangzi for delivery." Mrs. Yonglehou said.

At this time, Mrs. Yonglehou didn't even call Yunniang, and directly called her the Xue family.

Shen Qi squinted slightly, and softly persuaded, "Mother-in-law, it's your relatives, and the child is the flesh and blood of your husband. It's better to wait for Xue to give birth to bring the child back, raise it next to you, and then give it to Xue. A sum of money to let her go home and marry her."

Mrs. Yonglehou looked at Shen Qi. She heard what Shen Qi meant. This was not a discussion. The princess of the Royal Palace showed her paws for the first time after getting married, "I know that my mother-in-law is embarrassed. The people from the Royal Palace of Rui have done it."

Madam Zhao raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Qi. It's hard to tell whether she was afraid of embarrassment or she was afraid of bringing people back when the child was born. Moreover, where did a little girl know about your concubine? Yongle Hou Shizi said. Up? He wasn't that stupid either. Thinking of coming to the great princess was not as powerless as he said in front of his wife. Some things had already been arranged, and at this time he just borrowed the knife from the wife.

"Sister, give me more dowry." Shen Jin sighed, don't embarrass each other if it's all women, "In the end..." The next words didn't say anything.

Yongle Hou Shizi's mind was blank at this time, although she was a little bit disappointed, looking at Yun Niang's appearance, he was even more hesitant, her lips moved and she wanted to speak, Shen Qi said, "The husband is not good and there is no one to wait for her. "

While Shen Qi was talking, the maid had already covered Yun Niang's mouth, and then respectfully and forcefully invited her to Zhuangzi.

"I dragged my father's men and bought a few women from the south of the Yangtze River. They are the most feminine." Shen Qi said dignified and virtuously. "When the rules are taught, they will be sent." This is Shen yesterday. Qi secretly discussed with Princess Rui, who had bought it a long time ago, and Princess Rui specially prepared it for King Rui, but it hasn't been sent to King Rui yet, so I can use some of them for Shen Qi.

Shen Jin felt that her eldest sister was really tired, she might as well be at ease before marrying, watching everyone coming and going, she felt boring again, sitting on a chair and eating pastries, the pastries did not taste fresh after being left for a while. It's ready, it's not unpalatable, but the ingredients are very delicate.

When Shen Zi came, the atmosphere in the room changed again. It was as if Yun Niang had never appeared before, and Yongle Hou Shizi also left. After all, Yongning Bo did not come. It would be hard for him to stay as a man, but I can't go out, and I have to wait for the two wives and brothers to come.

Neither Shen Qi nor Shen Jin expected Shen Zi to come out. Even Mother Zhao felt strange. Today, Shen Zi wore a bright red and gold silk dress with a gauze gown and a gold embroidered belt on the waist. When the time came, the step on his head was shining, and as soon as he came in, he said softly, "Greetings to Madam Hou."

Mrs. Yonglehou also heard about Shen Zi, but she did not expect that Shen Zi would come over. She didn’t know what to say to her and the niece, she just smiled and nodded, and then said, "Your sister If we talk privately, I will not participate."

The implication is to let Shen Qi take her two younger sisters to leave quickly, one always speaks innocently about choking people, and the other comes out after such a shameful thing, Royal Palace is really...

Shen Qi followed the kindness, smiled and said a few words and left with Shen Zi and Shen Jin. Shen Zi wore a red jade bracelet on his wrist and pinched the veil and said with a smile, "My husband cannot come today if I have something to do. Let me take care of it. He apologized to the eldest brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law."

Shen Qi smiled and said, "No, the third brother-in-law didn't come, I will let the maid talk about it from the husband."

"Oh?" Shen Zi's eyes fell on Shen Jin, thinking of what happened yesterday, and he said bitterly, "Why didn't the third sister bring her brother-in-law?"

"My husband was called by your majesty." Shen Jin said, "By the way, how is the second brother-in-law's injury? My husband has a lot of good medicines, and it is not good to have scars on his face."

There was a slight smile in Mother Zhao's eyes. She knew that her wife was sincerely suggesting it, but this was heard in other people's ears...

"Yes." Shen Qi was also in a very good mood, and smiled, "Second sister, don't be polite. I heard that you scratched your second brother-in-law with blood all over your face. Let's go to the palace with the sign from the mansion. It’s a pity that a doctor shows to the second brother-in-law, the scar is left."

Shen Zi hummed and said, "Big sister, don't worry, your husband just accidentally fell off the car, it's all rumored, my mother-in-law has asked the doctor."

Seeing Shen Zi triumphantly, Shen Qi's eyes flashed and said, "Could it be that the second sister has encountered something good? Why is his face full of joy?"

Shen Zi just smiled but didn't say anything. Shen Qi didn't ask any more. After arriving in the courtyard where she lived, she pulled Shen Jin and started talking, but Shen Zi couldn't help but ask, "The third sister, the third brother-in-law is here on weekdays. What do you like most about the border town?"

What is your favorite? Whether it’s about eating, dressing, playing, or doing it on weekdays, Shen Jin looked down slightly, she almost no longer talked about Chu Xiuming in front of outsiders, "I don’t know."

"Why don't you know?" Shen Zi felt that Shen Jin didn't want to tell her, and asked with a deep look, "I'm afraid I don't want to say it."

"En." Shen Jin did not deny, "I don't want to say."

Shen Zi sneered, "I didn't expect the third sister to come back from a trip to the border town, but she became more courageous."

"Because I am Mrs. Bo." Shen Jin reminded.

Shen Jin said naturally, "Second sister, because I have a husband."

At this time, Shen Jin is like a rabbit flaunting his might. He changed his image of being irritated in the past. He was a fox, a fake tiger, and a dog, while Shen Jin leaned on a leopard and stretched out his rabbit's paw to scratch people!
