"Being estranged because of time distance means that we are not close enough in the first place." Sheng Xiangxun looked at it openly, "Brother Xin has been traveling abroad for a long time and has experienced more than ordinary students. Now that he has made some political achievements abroad, he How can one's will be controlled by the woman in the backyard?
To me, the pillow trend is just following the trend, choosing between important and unimportant, the most important and the second most important.
If Mr. Shu can really persuade Brother Xin to be dissatisfied with Sisters An and Yuan, he can only say that he originally disapproved and had objections to the behavior of the two sisters. If he really alienates the two sisters, he can only say that , that’s what he wanted to do, and Shu alone couldn’t do it. "
After he finished speaking, he looked directly at his wife and asked, "Do you think the son you gave birth to is that kind of heartless person?"
"Brother Xin was born to me, but I didn't raise him by myself." Zheng had some doubts about her parents for the first time, "The grandson-in-law they chose is the way they like it, how could they know that the daughter-in-law they raised Does Brother Xin look like what they want?"
"..." Sheng Xiangxun felt that this was unacceptable.
"Okay, you can't assume in advance that Brother Xin will be influenced by the Shu family! What if he, in turn, influences the Shu family?!" Sheng Xiangxun still thinks that letting his daughter-in-law stay in the Hou Mansion is not a long-term solution. count.
"Although Sister An and Sister Yuan have outsiders, they also have tempers. Especially Sister Yuan, she is really anxious. No matter who it is, just make a fuss! If that happens, she will kill Brother Xin's daughter-in-law If my son makes such a fuss, there may be no room for maneuver in their sister-in-law relationship."
"...Okay, I'll do as you say!" Zheng thought for a while and finally agreed.
She had made up her mind, and Shu's side was also talking about today's matter.
Shu Yajing pushed the tea cup to her sister Shu: "Mrs. Hou didn't say anything to my sister, so why do you need to think about it over and over again? If you really want to figure it out, how can you go to the main courtyard without any grudges?"
Mrs. Shu waved her hand and dismissed the maid in the inner room, asking her confidants to go out and wait. Then she whispered to her sister, "You have been here with me for more than three years now. How do you think the atmosphere in this house is?"
"The weather in the Marquis Mansion is naturally very good." Shu Yajing said truthfully, "The Marquis and Mrs. Hou behave well, and the two sisters of my brother-in-law are also well-behaved people. It would be better if my brother-in-law did not go outside Kyoto."
"Who told you to say this!" Shu rolled her eyes, "I'm asking you, do you feel that my parents-in-law are too spoiled to their daughter?
Sister An's son, twenty-year-old son, is now an eldest daughter, but she is still focused on her official career. They just let it go without asking. Why are they raising their other daughter like a playboy? !
The atmosphere in our mountain town is open enough, but we don't see any girls showing off outside with escorts, either smashing up casinos or beating up leopards and wolves! Even though he offended the prince, he still protected him! "
"Sister, I think too much. Sister An and Sister Yuan are the biological daughters of Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou. They don't seem to be stupid people. How can they not know anything about it? Seeing them being so indulgent, it's hard to say that they have made arrangements a long time ago. Those of us who are watching the excitement just don’t know what’s going on.”
Mrs. Shu took the fruit that her sister had just peeled, and picked at the pulp one after another: "The secret? I think the secret is that the Duke, the Marquis, Mrs. Hou, and the Queen Mother in the palace doted on Sister Yuan to a great extent! But I don’t know that there is heaven outside the sky and there are people outside the world.
Just watch, unless my parents-in-law want to send their daughter to the palace for a chance, otherwise, if they dote on her without any rules, they may cause trouble for the Hou Mansion in the future. "
She didn't care what happened to Sheng Yuan, she was just worried about the Hou Mansion.
As the future Madam Hou and the mother-in-law of the heir to the Hou Mansion, she naturally has to guard the Hou Mansion for her children and grandchildren.
"Wouldn't it be aggrieved to let Sister Yuan hinder her future?!" The more Shu thought about it, the more depressed she became. A picture of the whole family being exiled seemed to appear in front of her eyes, "My parents-in-law are really partial and don't think about future generations? "
"What's wrong with such a child?!" Mrs. Shu became angrier as she thought about it, for fear that her children would be affected.
"..." Shu Yajing, who felt that her sister was overthinking, was speechless, so she simply came up with an idea, "Sister, don't say anything anymore this time, just watch the reactions in the palace and outside first, and see how they act. ! When you see it clearly, you won’t be worried about this matter anymore.”
"Huh, they want me to watch it too!" Mrs. Shu recalled her mother-in-law Zheng's expression and words, thinking that next time there was a big event, they might not ask her to listen again.
"Sister, you are simply asking for trouble. If Sister Yuan behaves recklessly and the Marquis favors her, how can the Duke support her like this? He is not only the son and grandson of the Marquis."
Shu Yajing felt that since Duke Sheng Guo had a gentle attitude, the trouble Sister Yuan caused would not be too big.
"Instead of worrying about Sister Yuan here, and making Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou unhappy in the end, sister, why don't you just revise the book and give it to your brother-in-law and listen to his opinion? You won't get anything out of it."
"Why are you fixing his books for this?!" Mr. Shu shook his head, "He is busy with official duties, so I'd better not bother him with such trivial matters."
Seeing this, Shu Yajing disapproved: "Sister, there are only two of us now. Tell me the truth. You don't want to go to work with your brother-in-law?"
Although Shu didn't say anything, Shu Yajing understood.
"My sister always asks me to climb up. How come I am lost by the authorities when I get here?" Shu Yajing looked out the window and sighed in a low voice, "Is it possible that my sister can remarry to a higher place?"
"You won't succeed in this draft. If I leave Beijing, what will you do? How can you feel comfortable living in the Hou Mansion?"
Shu Yajing looked at her sister who was sighing slightly, and said loudly: "I can live in the academy! Although Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou are nice, the Hou Mansion is not my home. If I move to a distant place, I can't say I will be more comfortable."
"You!" Mrs. Shu saw that Shu Yajing didn't understand what she was thinking. She had a headache and whispered to her sister, "It's not that I don't want to take the post with Xin Lang, it's just that he didn't stay in the Hanlin Academy and volunteered to go wherever he wanted to suppress bandits!
If he goes to the post alone, he can feed himself and the whole family will not be hungry, and his safety will be guaranteed; but if I go there, he will be distracted by me... What if, what if the gangster jumps over the wall and threatens him with me?
You are not yet married, Kuangda has not yet grown up, and we have finally arrived in Kyoto, but we have not yet established ourselves. If something happens to me, how can we maximize the benefits of your future? "
This is what worries Shu the most.
"Do I know that the most important thing is to be reunited with Xinlang?"
Shu sighed leisurely: "It's not that I don't want to do it, but that I can't do it."
When Shu Yajing heard this, it was difficult to persuade her. After all, she accounted for half of her sister's reasons!
…
Sheng Yuan, who came back from the palace, was not aware of the undercurrent in the palace. She asked the servants from the palace to hand over the wolf and leopard, and then devoted herself to preparing for the last county examination.
