Tomorrow I will leave to return to Beijing. The maids in the yard are coming and going, all busy packing things.
If they had started earlier, they would have already packed it up by now. But isn’t this a guest coming to the door? Several distinguished guests have arrived one after another, and the maids are waiting for them. Who has time to pack things?
When the maids saw Shen Tingjun, they all stopped and held the things in their hands to greet him in a nondescript manner.
Everyone in the room also heard the noise outside. The second lady, Zhou Baolu, Wang Xiuwen, and even Shen Tingyi and Shen Tinglan who had just arrived stood up.
Several people showed their respects to Shen Tingjun, and the second master, Shen Tingyi, said with a wink, "Brother, please stay with mother. Let's go back first."
The second lady also said, "It's not a big deal, maids, but don't break my boxes. Go back and take a look at mine quickly, otherwise I'll feel bad if you drop it."
When the couple said this, Shen Tinglan and Zhou Baolu stopped sitting and opened their mouths to go back.
Shen Tingjun nodded and asked them to come to his mother's yard for dinner later. Shen Tingyi and Shen Tinglan saw that their mother had something to say to their eldest brother - weren't they the ladies brought by those old ladies? They were also curious about who would become the new eldest sister-in-law, but they were afraid that their eldest brother would be too embarrassed when they were in front of them. .
So the two brothers hurriedly said that they would not come because it was getting late. Then they bowed to the old lady, the aunt and the eldest brother, and then left.
The aunt and Wang Xiuwen also took the opportunity to leave, but before leaving, the aunt looked at Shen Tingjun with a very complicated look.
My aunt actually wanted to say, since Tingjun intends to get married, can he reconsider Xiuwen?
Although Xiuwen likes the fifth son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Xiuwen can immediately throw the fifth son out of the sky as long as Dalang agrees to marry Xiuwen.
Compared with Da Lang, those young boys were impulsive and reckless, had no official positions, no titles, and could not even compare to him in appearance. Their only advantage is that they are a few years younger than Dalang. But they are not people with amazing talents. Who can climb to the position of Dalang in just a few years and become another trusted minister who can be entrusted by His Majesty?
impossible.
There is no second person at all!
There is only one Shen Tingjun! His life cannot be repeated by anyone.
There are pearls and jade on the side, but the tiles and rocks are hard to hold!
The aunt walked out of the flower hall almost turning her head three times a step. Wang Xiuwen pulled her mother's sleeve and pulled her forward with her fingers.
The young lady was almost staggered by her daughter, so she stopped and glared at her, "I'm going to kill my mother."
Wang Xiuwen stomped her feet lightly and said, "Mom, please lower your voice. Are you so loud because you are afraid that others will not hear what you say?"
The couple had a huge quarrel a few days ago. Wang Xiuwen was determined to marry the fifth young master, but the concubine had already seen her daughter endure hardships for the rest of her life and refused to agree no matter what.
But how can any parent in this world be able to defeat their children?
Wang Xiuwen threatened to go on a hunger strike, but my aunt held on for three days. Didn't she surrender as of yesterday?
Unfortunately, as soon as she let go and left the matter to the old lady, Shen Tingjun was ready to see each other and remarry.
This matter reached my aunt's ears today, and she almost thought that the old lady was deliberately targeting her. But the auntie also heard the gossip at the hunting ground, and realized that the old lady was afraid of Princess Changrong, so she forced the elder man to remarry.
But the good news doesn’t flow to outsiders, right?
Since you want to remarry, why not consider Xiuwen first?
Xiu Wen has a smart appearance, can manage the family, and is filial to her elders. She was so good-looking that no matter whether the priests or monks looked at her fortune, they all said that she was destined to be rich and noble, and that she would have many descendants in the future.
Marrying Xiu Wen would at least ensure that the eldest son would continue to have heirs.
It's a pity that yesterday I entrusted the old lady to meet with the family of the Minister of Civil Affairs, and now I ask the old lady to consider Xiuwen as her daughter-in-law... Even if Xiuwen is her biological niece, I'm afraid the old lady will be annoyed.
Isn't it child's play for one daughter to marry two families?
But if she misses this opportunity, no matter how well Xiuwen marries, her position will be far different from that of Madam Houfu.
The aunt still didn't give up. She would rather give up this layer of shame and go back to the old lady.
Wang Xiuwen grabbed her at this moment, and saw that this cousin girl who always loved to show off her "lovely" appearance had her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her eyes were full of "I will go if you dare to go back." The determination to die."
Wang Xiuwen whispered in the girl's ear, "Mom, let's be like this. If things have reached this point, if we continue to get entangled, we will lose all our feelings. If my cousin really likes me, there is no need for us to do anything more. I I can also become Mrs. Hou smoothly. But mother, tell me, how often has my cousin looked at me?"
They had lived in the Hou Mansion for five years. Apart from meeting her cousin during festivals and greeting her aunt, when had she ever seen him? Even if she saw him, her cousin would turn a blind eye to her; even if she didn't want to be brave and insist on having an "accidental encounter" in the past, her cousin would just nod slightly and rush past her.
Thinking about these things one after another, she used to think nothing of it, but now she just felt that she had taken off her face and let others trample on her. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could throw herself into a well and die.
But since you don’t want to die, then live well. She didn't believe that she couldn't live a normal life without Wu'anhou Mansion.
Wang Xiuwen made a lot of sense, but the aunt just sneered, "What kind of person can the fifth son of the Minister of Civil Affairs give you? He is just a bastard who eats and drinks! You expect him to lead you to a prosperous career, so why not I hope I will give birth to a good son!”
Then he muttered, "Tingjun's side doesn't work, then you should consider the marriage in Uncle Chengcheng's house. As long as you marry, you will be the wife of the prince. When the uncle dies, you will be the wife of the uncle. Even if it is worse than Mrs. Hou, that's it. With the royal decree, your descendants can inherit hereditary titles, and you don't have to worry about fame in your life. The ready-made road to heaven is in front of you, but you don't choose it. You only value the good-looking embroidered pillow. Haha, I opened my eyes and watched, what will happen to that idiot in this life? Can I help you live your life like a human being?"
The mother and daughter started choking again in the old lady's yard, and even almost made a move. The last one ran back crying, and the other one managed to avoid being knocked out.
Shen Tingyi and his second wife were called back and took their aunt back to the courtyard. Shen Tinglan was very lucky about this, and kept saying to Zhou Baolu, "Fortunately we live in the west. If I were to go with my aunt, I would be worried to death."
My aunt is really good at nagging, and she is really merciless in her words. Thinking about the words repeated by the maid, Shen Tinglan's scalp went numb. Even he, a grown man, felt that it was too much for my aunt to expose someone's shortcomings and slap someone in the face, let alone what cousin Xiuwen thought. Even though she has many little thoughts and calculations, she cannot deny the fact that she is just an ordinary little girl. Being stabbed in the heart by your own mother would make you collapse.
Zhou Baolu's eyes flashed as she listened to Shen Tinglan complaining about Wang Xiuwen.
She pretended to be distressed and sighed, "In the final analysis, it was my eldest brother's marriage that caused the trouble."
If the eldest brother did not agree to the blind date, how could there be so many troubles?
Why did he relent?
No matter how troublesome the old lady is, she is just an old lady, just ignore her. It took her two days to let her know that her son was going to separate from her, so she didn't believe that the old lady could still hold on.
After all, it is the eldest brother who wants to get married.
Otherwise, he is such a stubborn person, even if the Emperor comes, can he be made to let go? Didn't he have that intention in mind?
Zhou Baolu's eyes were dark, and the evil thoughts in his heart almost burst out.
She knew that her eldest brother never got married and left no heirs. But isn’t everything in this world subject to a variable?
Even her marriage has changed. It seems that it is not impossible for the eldest brother to have a family and children.
But how could this happen?
If the eldest brother has an heir, what will happen to her Rongan?
Without a second Wu'an Marquis Mansion for Rong An to inherit, would they have to be separated and live alone in their lifetimes, and Rong An would be stripped of all the honors of the Marquis Mansion and have to work hard for fame and wealth again?
Did she come back to this life just to make her son suffer?
No, no, she won't agree!
How come Sang Nianyue's son in the previous life could inherit the Hou Mansion, and Sang Nianyue could become the biggest winner, but her son had to work hard and become a common man.
There is nothing so unreasonable in this world.
Zhou Baolu was secretly scheming in her heart, and Shen Tinglan also spoke out at this time, "Why is it because of the eldest brother's marriage? What do you mean, the eldest brother should not get married in this life, and the eldest brother should die alone?"
Shen Tinglan frowned and looked at Zhou Baolu, "Why do you have such an idea?"
