Although Yu Qiao is not very old, only in her twenties, she has already known what happened in the backyard. When she was in the Yu family, she was influenced by what she heard and saw, as well as her mother's words and deeds. Finally, after she and Shen Hao decided to get married, the Yu family specifically told her about the situation in Shen Hao's backyard.
Today, the most mentioned woman is right outside Yu Qiao's door.
Xia Nu, a slave bought by Shen Hao from the tooth shop, was also a very beloved slave girl. It can be said that before the wedding, the entire backyard of Shen Mansion was dominated by this female slave. This is evident.
How to deal with female slaves? According to the usual situation, "keep them if you like them, kill them if you don't like them." This was common in the Jingjiu Dynasty. Slaves are not human beings. They are just like domestic animals. They can be killed and thrown away. You can like and dislike them as you like. , who would put too much thought into a slave?
But Shen's Mansion is not an ordinary place, and Yu Qiao's husband is not an ordinary person either. From the rumors related to this slave girl named Xia Nu, as well as many incidents witnessed by the surrounding people, it can be seen that this slave girl is extremely favored. Even because of her, a huge Xiu Clan family disappeared into thin air, and later the family of the then Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was also razed to the ground.
The most shunned female slave in the Jing Dynasty was none other than Xia Nu.
Therefore, both Yu Qiao's parents and Yu Qiao himself knew that this Xia girl could not be regarded as an ordinary slave. To put it mildly, Yu Qiao, who had just passed away, was not necessarily higher than Shen Hao's psychological status. This summer girl.
As for using force? Surprise once and for all? Just beat this summer girl to death with a stick? Even if Yu Qiao really wanted to do this, there was no such condition. Why should everyone in the Shen family listen to her? Just because she is the mistress, you just want to follow her in the direction that is contrary to Master Shen? Almost crazy.
If you can't use force, you can only test it first and then make a plan. We will respond to any situation later. Yu Qiao had the Yu family behind her, and she didn't believe she could defeat a slave.
What's more, the thought of last night's violent storm made her even more confident. Her husband was so obsessed with her and asked for her many times. Isn't this what her mother said about "tying up a man's heart"? With this, she has more confidence.
"Let her in."
The two maids secretly curled their lips. They could only be in charge of Yu Qiao. Naturally, they didn't have the slightest fondness for the fox girl outside the door, and they were even disgusted.
When Xia Nu came in, Yu Qiao looked up and down at the person kneeling on the ground, and thought to himself: This figure is really amazing. Do all men like this?
After comparing it secretly, Yu Qiao was confident that her figure was not bad, but compared to the fox girl, she was still different in race.
However, being "naturally charming" is Yu Qiao's plus point, which she already realized last night.
"Raise your head." He didn't let the other party get up, but raised his head, Yu Qiao wanted to see the appearance of the fox girl.
Tsk tsk, except for the nondescript fox ears, it looks pretty good.
"Why did your husband ask you to come?"
Xia Nu continued to kneel in a proper manner, raised her head, and replied with gentle eyes: "In reply to Madam, the master will ask the slave to help Madam change clothes, and then after breakfast, Madam will be invited to go to the ancestral temple to offer incense, and then return to Feng. It’s Japan.”
"Going home today?" Yu Qiao was a little surprised. She had thought that her husband would choose to stay in Xinliang City for a few more days.
"Yes ma'am."
Yu Qiao asked the maid to change her clothes, and then began to comb her hair. After a long time, she suddenly asked: "Why do you call me "Madam" instead of "Master"? I am married to my husband. You are his slave and you should be mine." slave."
Not to mention, Yu Qiao really looked like a mistress when she spoke sternly. Her eyes flashed sharply, waiting to hear how Xia Nu would answer.
"To tell you Madam, Xia Nu was bought by the master from Yaxing. Unless there is an order from the master, Xia Nu will only be the master's exclusive slave until her death."
An expected confrontation. Xia Nu didn't expect to be able to outdo Yu Qiao, a decent lady in charge of the house, she just hoped that she wouldn't lose her original position. She is the master's slave girl, not the mistress' slave girl. She has to be killed or killed at her master's discretion!
Yu Qiao snorted and asked, "If I ask my husband for something, do you think he would give you to me?"
"I don't know. Madam, you can ask the master. If the master agrees, I have no complaints."
"That's good." After Yu Qiao said nothing more, he raised his hand to let Xia Nu, who was kneeling on the ground, get up, and did not continue to hit her.
This is just a test, there is no need to force the other party to the opposite side right away. At least from this current conversation, it can be seen that this female slave is relatively submissive, but she also has her own persistence. That is "she is just the master's exclusive slave" and will not admit that Yu Qiao is also her master just because Yu Qiao comes in.
In addition, it can be heard from these few words that the slave named Xia Nu is very confident. How could an ordinary slave dare to talk to the lady in charge like this? Being submissive is the norm. Now that there is evidence for advancement and retreat, it also shows that this female slave's status in the Shen Mansion is not simple.
After Yu Qiao had washed up, put on her makeup, and had breakfast, she and Shen Hao went to the ancestral temple together, offered incense to their ancestors, to signify that the new daughter-in-law had entered the house, and also received a piece of gold that was said to bring "more children and more blessings." The wooden sign hangs around Yu Qiao's neck. On the front of the wooden sign, it says "The house is full of children and grandchildren", and on the back it says "Shen Yu's Ping" and a year, month and date, which happens to be yesterday.
According to Shen Wentian, although this wooden sign is not worth much, it is an old rule of the Shen family. Every daughter-in-law who enters the house must bring such a sign with her.
Tradition is the thing that can best show the family's heritage. The Shen family's past is not prosperous. At least in Shen Wentian's story, it can only be regarded as a lower-middle-class family, so its heritage is nothing more than a wooden sign.
But Yu Qiao didn't dislike it at all. She even held it with both hands and carefully asked her husband to carry it for her, not planning to take it off easily. This is the family's recognition of her as an important woman, which is of great significance.
Shen Hao originally planned to go back in the morning, but it was almost noon after finishing the incense burning, so he stayed for lunch before returning to Fengri City.
On the carriage, Shen Hao hugged Yu Qiao, who was sitting shyly next to him, and subconsciously put his nose on Yu Qiao's neck, sniffing, and whispered next to his already hot and red ears: "We'll be home soon. , I hired someone to rebuild the backyard, you should like it."
For this wife, it seems that the relationship has become much closer after the skin-to-skin kiss last night. At least Shen Hao is slowly getting used to his new identity. Furthermore, women who are naturally charming are really powerful. Just holding her in her arms like this makes the desire rush upward as if being teased.
"Qiaoer likes wherever there is a husband."
