There was a sudden sound, and Mother Hu couldn't help but look up for a moment.
Old Mrs. Yin was concentrating with her eyes closed. The golden window paper screen filtered in the colorful light, which floated on her face like sparkling golden water waves, making her expression congested.
Mother Hu lowered her eyes and said, "Yesterday, I heard from Yourou that Mrs. Shen had eaten at Chenxiangxuan and returned to Shuchiyuan after the second watch."
Old Mrs. Yin snorted and opened her eyes, "It's the water thrown by the married daughter. Besides, the seed in Rong Xiaoniang's stomach is not from her Rong family. Of course she doesn't care, let alone Brother Zhuo." .”
Mother Hu said no, the beauty's fist struck slowly and deeply, as if it struck into the heart of old Mrs. Yin, "She went through all this trouble just for that girl Yi."
Old Mrs. Yin snorted, "You still see clearly, unlike that little lady Rong, who is led by the nose by her mother."
Mother Hu said: "It's no wonder Rong Xiaoniang, she is her biological mother after all..."
"Birth mother."
Old Mrs. Yin squeezed out a cold sound from her nose, "The birth mother doesn't even take her seriously. She still carries her like a baby."
Suddenly there was a gust of wind outside the house, causing the shadows of the trees to dance and the golden light to scatter. It slipped into the house, which was bright and dark for a while. Old Mrs. Yin took a breath, her eyes were fixed on the leather sheath of the Beauty Fist, and she suddenly sighed, "It's my fault too, If it hadn't been for what happened back then, how could I be so doting on Miss Rong now, giving her gold embroidery and embroidery as soon as I asked..."
Mother Hu heard the unspeakable sadness in her tone, and hurriedly pursed her lips to comfort her, "Old lady, how can I blame you? Since ancient times, spoiling concubines and destroying wives has never had a good end. You are doing this for the sake of the master, right? Otherwise, if this is brought to the surface, the wives and concubines are out of order, not to mention being stabbed in the spine, and even less likely to be impeached."
These words made Mrs. Yin's expression become a little brighter, but she still sighed loudly, "You are right. If wives and concubines are disordered, they will be ridiculed by the nobles. It took a lot of effort for me to get the title of Founding Son, but I can't call him Rong." My dear, they are fighting over each other."
When Shen Nanbao returned to Rong Yuexuan, the sun was already showing signs of setting. Looking from a distance, he could see a red patch on the treetops, and there was a faint shadow of the moon.
Because of what just happened, there was no time to hold a family dinner, so we just had dinner, and when it got dark, Shen Shi led a bunch of entourage, carrying firecrackers, paper money, etc. to the secluded riverside to spread lime and send them off respectfully. The ancestors returned to the "underworld".
Shen Nanbao then asked Fang Guan to go to the kitchen to get the meal, and it was at this time that Feng Yue walked into the house with the afterglow of the setting sun.
She must have just run by, her round face showing a plump red color, she was breathing heavily, showing her neat little teeth, her round eyes were also crooked, "Sister, you guess I'll let you control me" I was told to deliver a message to the young lady, how did the young lady respond?"
Shen Nanbao sat in front of the bronze mirror, unloading his clothes, glanced sideways at Feng Yue in the bronze mirror, and smiled, "Are you still trying to get along with me? Why don't I just go for a ride with you since I'm in a good mood today... "
She pondered for a while, "Are you inviting me to her house?"
Fengyue's face was gaping in the bronze mirror, "Sister, why are you so magical? How did you know that Miss Gu invited you to my house?"
With that said, Yi Bixiang came forward, took over the work from Shen Nanbao's hands, peeled off a bunch of earrings, and put them into a black lacquered mother-of-pearl drawer.
The drawer was filled with all kinds of earrings and jade bells, which swayed as they were pulled and closed, making a faint clattering sound.
Fengyue's voice became clearer and clearer in such a sound, "Sister, what did you write in the letter? Can you speak to that giant Buddha?"
Shen Nanbao raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise, "That's not what you said when you sent the letter earlier. How come you changed your appearance after just one visit?"
Fengyue's expression turned a little nervous, and she mumbled: "It turns out that the little girl has shallow eyes, so she took the letter from my sister to where she went. After hearing what the elders around her said, I realized that the little lady is a person who doesn't like to see things happening. My Lord, my body is also healthy, I don’t know why.”
In his previous life, Shen Nanbao heard Mr. Bush mention that he was born with a golden spoon, but unexpectedly, he was like that evil spirit. He was so ashamed that he didn't know what evil he had done in his previous life. After drinking Meng Po soup, he passed away. I can't even break the bridge, I have to spend this life to repay it.
Shen Nanbao rolled his eyes and did not say anything further. He only asked, "How long will it take for you to invite me to her house?"
Fengyue said: "According to what the young lady said, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, so let's do it tomorrow."
After saying that, the smile on Feng Yue's face suddenly disappeared, and she just stared at the back of Shen Nanbao's shiny black head sadly, and said: "I forgot, I am being restrained by the master. This How to get out?"
Shen Nanbao scattered the bundled yarn and put it on his chest. He gently combed it with a comb, making it look like a small waterfall, smooth and shiny against the glistening candlelight.
"Dad visits me like a thatched cottage three times a day just to establish friendship with those officials. Now I can invite the young lady to the house for the first time. If I can still ask the young lady to come out of the house with a favor, isn't this a small gain? Governor Pingzhang’s kindness?”
After listening to this, Feng Yue snorted a series of sneers from her nose, "Don't look at how the master usually looks like a book beetle and can't grasp anything clearly. At this critical moment, his abacus is more sophisticated than anyone else's."
Just as she was talking, a figure was cast from the patterned window covered with a layer of window paper. From far to near, the sound of footsteps made Feng Yue look frightened for a moment. When the partition door was pushed open and Fang Guan's face was revealed, she He breathed a sigh of relief, "It was you who scared me."
The official raised his eyes in confusion, lowered them again, and took out several meals from the food box.
The porcelain cup was placed on the table and made a crisp sound. Shen Nanbao raised his nose and smelled the steaming aroma of oil. He looked at Feng Yue and joked: "You see, it's better not to gossip behind your back if you have nothing to do. This won't cause trouble." One day, someone will definitely use it as a talking point, and you will be left with nothing to eat."
While they were joking about each other, a whimper came from outside, "Sister."
The three of them looked stern, and Feng Yue held up the lamp to draw out the light.
At that time, the sun had set, and the moon occupied the sky. It was slightly yellow, like ashes accidentally falling from a fire when ironing, and a small piece was burnt. Therefore, the surrounding area was dark without any color, so I looked at it with a lantern. I could only vaguely see a figure embedded in the courtyard.
It happened that a gust of wind blew by, and the figure melted into the night in a trance. The edges were so pale and shapeless, but the clear sobbing could be heard.
Shen Nanbao said hurriedly: "Let's go inside first. There are a lot of mosquitoes outside. It won't be easy for me to carry my bag tomorrow."
The four of them walked back to the room. Shen Nanbao was at the front. Before he could even turn around to look, he heard Feng Yue's voice, "Lu Kui, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Nanbao turned his eyes, and with the burning candlelight in the room, the scars on Lu Kui's face were clearly visible, especially the line of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, blooming like a flower.
Lu Kui was crying, but when Feng Yue asked this question, she felt as if the flood had found an outlet, and she couldn't stop crying, "...The younger one followed the elder sister's instructions and sent the leaves to the eldest lady. She didn't know that the eldest lady Madam, she stared at me for a moment, then started scolding me, and even asked several servants to grab me and slap me life or death."
Although she was complaining, everyone could hear the resentment in her words.
Shen Nanbao didn't care about this and only asked Fang Guan to lead her down to apply the medicine. When only the master and servant were left in the house, Feng Yue rubbed her teeth bitterly and said, "Sister, Madam, I can't hold myself back." Living?"
Shen Nanbao poured herself a cup of tea without commenting. As soon as her mouth touched the rim of the cup, she suddenly raised her eyes and said, "You are going to see the baby girl today, but have you gone to my grandfather's?"
Fengyue nodded, understanding what Shen Nanbao was worried about, and said quickly: "Don't worry, sister, I went to see the younger one. The old lady's business is very good, and it's too busy. Besides, the old lady is protected by Commander Xiao. Nothing will go wrong.”
Shen Nanbao was silent and did not answer the words. He just turned his wrist and took a sip of tea leisurely, "I thought she would have to endure it until the eldest sister arranged the engagement, but I never thought she would take action so quickly. .”
When she said this, her expression was deep, but soon, she relaxed her brows and smiled sweetly, "But that's okay. The more she loses her composure, the more her flaws will be exposed. I I’ll be able to cope with it more comfortably.”
Fengyue listened in confusion, not knowing what kind of success her sister had, when she heard her order: "You have been walking around Asmen's office and the management office more recently. Take a look at the people in Ying Pavilion. What kind of movements have there been in the past few days?”
Fengyue suddenly perked up, and said a sonorous and powerful "yes", which made those eyes even more radiant.
The next day, Shen Nanbao went to save time for Mrs. Yin Chen, and told Mrs. Yin about the young lady. Naturally, she approved of it, and also said that she didn't have to rush back after the gate control, and she could just spend more time with the young lady.
It can be seen that Old Mrs. Yin is very satisfied, but Shen Nanyi doesn't have to deal with it. Before Shen Nanbao leaves the house, she can't help but say, "What kind of horse goes with what kind of saddle? How about that weird little lady?" Fourth sister, you have such a derogatory life experience. If you tell people about it, you will have them cover their mouths and laugh!"
After saying that, he smiled to himself, and a few strands of golden light filtered through the fan of gauze, leaking onto Shen Nanyi's mouth, like a clown on the stage, with a few strokes of thick and colorful makeup, funny and ridiculous.
Shen Nanbao looked at it and smiled, "Sister, instead of laughing at me, why don't you think more about what my grandmother said yesterday? Thank you, uncle, you can't think about it anymore. You have to find another employer, otherwise you will be so rude." If you are in the boudoir, people will laugh at you if you spread the news."
Shen Nanyi was startled.
Shen Nanbao did not look at her. He stepped on the carriage in the golden and green scenery. Shen Nanyi's high-pitched voice came in through the fluttering curtains, "You can just use your words as fast as you can. You How good do you think you are? You are a sweetheart, so every young man in the family will fall in love with you when they meet you. Think about it in your heart, only the pickled fish in the feudal family can attract flies like that!"
