What does it mean?
What do the second girls want from their elder sisters when they say they want to marry each other?
Could it be that Commander Xiao wants to marry two?
Knowing that Mrs. Yin wanted to give the second girl to him, she thought of using this as a way to get her?
That's for sure!
Otherwise, how could the second girl still be in the mood to smile while looking at her sister!
She was indeed right.
Commander Xiao just took a fancy to my sister.
Now you are still proposing such ridiculous things!
What to do now?
Feng Yue looked at Shen Nanbao anxiously.
She sat in front of the flower-bed window, hanging down the bamboo strips to filter in the skylight, hitting her gentle jade-like face edge by edge, illuminating her usual light expression, as if what she just talked about was not she.
But only Shen Nanbao knew how overwhelming her heart was at this moment.
She has obviously put in so much effort, right?
Why can't we escape the fate of filling holes in the end?
Shen Nanbao lowered his eyes, and what Chen Fangyan said to her flashed in his mind.
'You're just impatient, that's why the buns out of the steamer are so hot. You insist on biting them down. Aren't you afraid of your mouth? Take your time, there is still a glimmer of hope before things reach the final stage. What if you can turn the tide? '
Even though Shen Nanbao was not ashamed of this person.
But I have to say that Chen Fangyan is indeed right.
Be prepared for the worst, but still have a stable heart, so that you can face the continuous troubles and injustices.
Shen Nanbao calmed down and poured a cup of tea by himself.
It was at this time that Mrs. Yin from the upper room spoke up, "I told you earlier at the Spring Banquet that I don't expect Sister Ji Bao to marry a high-ranking official and a nobleman. As long as she is safe and goes well, she will be a poor student." I am willing to do so. What does the founding Earl's family mean by saying this now? Is it because they are looking at our master's idleness, so he is here to add insult to injury?"
Was he the founding earl?
But hadn't he already made it clear in his previous words that he didn't want her to enter the Earl's Mansion? How could he find someone to talk to him as a matchmaker now?
Shen Nan Baoshang was surprised, and the lady of the Duke's Mansion persuaded him: "I know what you mean, but you also know that the fourth girl in your family has such good embroidery skills that even if you bring them to the palace, they will not be compared with those of the officials." In terms of ranking, there is also the appearance and beauty who are more than capable of being poked. It is a pity that her life is not good. Her little mother's matter is a taboo after all. The founding Earl's family was also worried before. If it weren't for the young uncle Xie who knelt down and insisted on the fourth girl, Kong How could the madam nod, so she asked me to mediate and let the fourth girl go into the Earl's Mansion to give Uncle Xie a baby?"
As a concubine?
Shen Nan Baorao was so kind. Xing'er couldn't help but sneer.
It was really difficult for them, and they wanted her half-pushed and half-done.
Then should she burst into tears of gratitude and thank their family Xie Yuanchang for his sincerity? Thank them for showing mercy?
But she should really thank them for proposing marriage in such a condescending manner, and for calling Mrs. Jianguo Mansion to come to her before she even had hairpins. Didn't this make it clear that they looked down on her and the Shen Mansion.
Even though Old Mrs. Yin didn't want to see her, it wasn't possible that Old Mrs. Yin could bear the reputation of others insulting the Shen family.
Just like Xiao Yichen didn't give face to the Shen family, Mrs. Yin was determined not to use Xiao Xiang as a match for Shen Nanwan.
Sure enough, Old Mrs. Yin stopped her meal angrily, "Mrs. Guogongfu, you just said how good our sister Bao is, so you feel good about it. Don't I feel good about her and don't feel sorry for her? Such a smart and clear person. , I have been suffering from bad luck for so many years, and now I do everything cautiously. I saw the pain in my heart, and I thought at that time, I want her to live smoothly and happily in the future. Madam, are you going to Do you think we, Sister Bao, will be happy in the future after joining the Earl's family?"
This question made the Duke's wife not know how to speak, and she was a little annoyed.
She really doesn't like those snobby and conceited things, and she also loves the beauty of adulthood, so she is willing to make these two trips.
But now, because of such a marriage, it has become something that I dislike for a long time.
After all, it was the dog's meddling in other people's business that made him angry!
She acts as the wife of the Duke of Her Majesty, who doesn't fawn over her, and who dares to look down on her?
The tone of Mrs. Sui Guogong's mansion was also filled with anger, "Speaking of this, I would like to ask a few more questions, after all, you four girls usually never leave the house or leave the house. How did you get to know Uncle Xie? , how come you are so favored by Uncle Xie?"
The lady of the Duke's Mansion smiled, but her tone was still so strong, "But it has always been like this when there are girls in the family, let alone thank you. As for what I just said, I also want to see the fourth girl in my heart, but now I see What the old lady means is that she is not willing to take part in this marriage. Besides, the fourth girl has not yet had her hair, so it is too early to talk about these things. Why don't you call the fourth girl over and ask her to make it clear to Uncle Xie, brother, you are young and lively. "Sheng, it's inevitable to have your head cut off and you'll be hot. If you get rejected and stay cold for a while, you won't think about it anymore, right?"
She said this as if she was caring for them, but how could Old Mrs. Yin not hear the slander in her words.
He was clearly saying that the fourth girl in their family was of bad character and had a knack for seducing people. Otherwise, why would such a romantic young man as Xie Yuanchang be so dead-set?
Old Mrs. Yin thought of the things that happened when Xie Yuanchang came to the house earlier, and Shen Nanbao's vague words on the master's birthday, and she felt so angry that her heart ached.
After all, it’s something that can’t be slapped!
She had to ask Sister Bao carefully, otherwise she would be fooled again.
Old Mrs. Yin planned to send off the Duke's wife in a good manner. Then she finally couldn't hold back the anger in her chest and slapped the table, "Where is the fourth girl! Go! Call the fourth girl over here!" "
After Shen Nanwan over there heard this, Shi Shiran stood up and looked at Shen Nanbao with envy, "Fourth sister is a lovely girl after all. Look at how little uncle Xie has ignored his parents' lives for you."
When Shen Nanbao came here, she didn't understand that Shen Nanwan deliberately asked people to come here to listen to such a play.
The reason is just to get revenge for what happened earlier.
Chen Fangyan was right, the eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Shen family looked very different, but in fact they were the same as each other and they both couldn't keep their temper.
Even if Nan Wan still has some brains, so what, she just throws away her advice and just has fun.
"Second sister should just take care of herself. She might as well not make any mistakes, which will make the third brother unable to even seek fame."
Shen Nanbao stood up as she spoke, her elegant figure facing away from the window. The dazzling skylight outlined a golden rim around her, but her expression was shrouded in haze.
Shen Nanwan couldn't see her face clearly, but a kind of fear arose in his heart for some reason. He couldn't help but asked in a high-pitched voice, "What do you mean?"
Old Mrs. Yin heard the movement over there and called out, "Sister Bao."
Only then did Shen Nanbao let out a cry, exited the flower hall and came to Old Mrs. Yin.
She still looked so elegant and pure, but seeing Mrs. Yin's anger rising up in her head one after another.
"when did you come?"
Shen Nanbao knelt down and saluted, "Replying to my grandmother is the time when the Duke's wife asked me to agree."
Old Mrs. Yin nodded, and without further ado, she said straight to the point: "Then you have heard the whole story. In that case, I will have a good talk with you. After all, I was ill and had no time to care about your affairs before. Now, Now that the matter has come to the door and happened in front of me, I have to ask you what is going on between you and that uncle Xie!"
She bit 'sick' very hard.
It can be seen that he is still thinking about what happened before.
Perhaps even the wife of the Duke's Mansion could not have expected that the old lady who had expressed her love for her so heartily before would now treat her with an enemy-like face.
Shen Nanbao thought secretly, still lowering his head and replied: "Uncle Xie came to the house before, I have already said that I have only met Uncle Xie a few times. I don't know why he is like this."
The tone was ordinary and light, but it was like a huge stone that pressed heavily on Mrs. Yin's heart, making her gasp for breath.
"You don't know, you don't know that this is possible? Didn't I tell you on your father's birthday? I told you not to think about Uncle Xie anymore. Are you not convinced in your heart? You agree with your mouth, but you say the opposite behind your back. What are you doing? It’s because I didn’t teach you well, and you have a problem with me, so you don’t listen to me. But I am your grandmother after all. Can the words I say hurt you? You yourself heard what Madam Duke Cai said just now. If you know the attitude of the Founding Earl family, then you should know your own identity. It is indeed a good thing to become an in-law with the Founding Earl family, but for you, you cannot afford such huge wealth! If you don’t If you find it embarrassing and are not afraid of being ridiculed by us following you, then you will accept this marriage, and I have nothing to say!"
The words came one by one and were stuffed into Shen Nanbao's mouth like strips of cloth, leaving her speechless.
Seeing her sawing her mouth like a gourd, Mrs. Yin thought she was still holding back, and became even more angry, "Fortunately, your eldest sister is sick, and your mistress is here to take care of you. If you hadn't let them know today, you would have had your skin and flesh bruised!" "
Shen Nanbao had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was disgusted with Xie Yuanchang's insistence on going his own way, and on the other hand, he was disgusted by the old lady Yin's habit of putting on a red face. However, her face was still subdued and her head fell to the ground.
"Grandma, don't be angry. Uncle Xie and I really have no contact. As you know, I have never gone out during this period. Even the comprador, I didn't ask anyone to go out. I don't understand why Uncle Xie... …”
Mrs. Yin was so speechless that she didn't know what to say. She knew that there was a dishonest servant in Rong Yuexuan, but it was obviously impossible to say this in such a situation.
This kind of depressed state of knowing that someone has bad intentions and having a reason to question someone, but having to hold her breath at a critical moment because she can't speak out for such a small thing, really makes Mrs. Yin look bad.
Seeing this, Shen Nanwan, who came from the flower hall, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Yin, "Grandma, calm down and have a drink of water first."
Old Mrs. Yin looked at the clear yellow tea soup and thought of the bowl of Siwu soup. She felt that the person in front of her who was prostrating might be snickering at the carpet with lotus-tangled branches.
Unable to bear it, Old Mrs. Yin stood up and flicked away the tea like a fire, "It seems that I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River. Whatever, it's because I was too gentle in the past. You don't know how high the world is, but now you see I have to push you hard to make you understand what our Shen Family Style Sect is!"
