Shen Xuan's eyebrows are slightly raised.
"The daughter of the benefactor? What does that say? " She sat down gracefully under the old lady.
The second lady Miao quickly followed the old lady's words: "that girl's father helped angel, but it's not our great benefactor! When the benefactor's daughter comes, naturally we should have a good treat. Why don't you take the girl into the house? Let's thank the girl in person
Shen Xuan said calmly: "an Ge'er will naturally thank you personally, so she won't bother her second sister-in-law. Besides, the two children have an engagement, so it's not suitable to meet each other before they get married. Therefore, the master didn't arrange for the child to enter the house, so he only allocated a yard in the city for the child to live in. When we are free tomorrow, my daughter-in-law will certainly pick up the person, or kiss the old lady. "
Old lady Hong was a little unhappy when she saw that her third daughter-in-law didn't follow her own wishes, but instead said it dead.
She stiffened her face and said in a stuffy voice, "is angel engaged? Why don't I know that? " Without waiting for Shen Xuan to explain, she said, "before, an Ge'er was just a white man, and it didn't matter to have a hasty marriage with a country girl. Now he has a different status. He is already a baron. How can he be matched with a right person? Just now, the sage's importance to angel is not missed. How many 13-year-old barons are there in Manchuria? This is the only one! The so-called marriage is just a casual agreement made when parents are away, which is not appropriate. "
Shen Xuan didn't reply immediately. She took a sip of the new hot tea from the maid, put down the tea cup, picked up the silk handkerchief and dipped it in her lips.
Looking at her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hong didn't retort. She thought that she agreed with her own opinion, so she quickly took advantage of the heat to strike iron: "I think Hong xiu'e is very good. She is a gentry family, knowledgeable and reasonable. She looks top-notch. The needlework is first-class. It's just right to give to an'ge'er!"
Hong Xiue is the youngest granddaughter of Mrs. Hong's brother. She is 13 years old and is looking at her marriage. Mr. Hong thought it would be better to have more people to contact in the capital, so he sent the little girl to Beijing. Now I'm living in the old lady's yard. I'm sitting in the back across a flower cupboard, eavesdropping on adults' conversation.
Hearing the old lady mention herself, the little girl blushed at once. The servant girl standing on one side is also making fun of Miss Biao.
Shen Xuan had already guessed the old lady's plan. After all, Hong Xiue had been taken into the mansion earlier. We all know what the plan is. She did not retort, but said:
"the old lady's daughter is naturally good." But when the old lady showed a happy smile, she turned her voice and said, "it's just that in the daughter-in-law's niece's daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law's daughter-in-law's niece's daughter-in-! A few days ago, my mother asked me to go back and ask questions, saying that she wanted me to find out what the master meant and see if I could be more intimate. After all, in the future, Angela's daughter-in-law will have to get along with her for a long time. It's better to know each other's roots and bottom. "
After listening to this, Mrs. Hong's face has turned a little bad.
What's Shen Xuan's family status? Xinyanghou!
The daughter of the Marquis is much higher than the daughter of the squire! If she continues to say things with her identity, the final advantage will fall on the Shen family! She has a daughter-in-law of Hou family, which is very distressed. Although she looks beautiful and pleasant, she never really beats her daughter-in-law!
You talk about filial piety? Turn around and the old lady of Houfu will be able to oppress you with her identity!
Old lady Hong just follows her son's grade, which is worse than the mother of the Marquis!
Looking at Shen Xuan's bright face and just right smile, she asked: "old lady, you see, my eldest brother's daughter is a match for an Ge'er! If not, the old lady will persuade the master for his daughter-in-law and let him change his words. " Old lady Hong would like to paste a piece of paper on each other's face!
At the beginning, how did she feel that her son's marriage to the Marquis's family was a good thing with face? At that time, she was still showing off to the old ladies in other prefectures!
Thinking of the envious eyes and sour tone of the people at the beginning, Mrs. Hong wished the time could turn back!
If she did it again, she would hire a daughter of a small official for her third son! I don't want expensive girls! Stir up the family spirit!
The old lady boasted on her shoulders, tired and even more tired, and her head was still aching.
Shen Xuan came forward to beat her shoulder anxiously and asked, "old lady, is this tea cold? Or is this cushion uncomfortable to lean on? " After that, he raised his head and glared at the servant girls around him. He said, "how do you serve the old lady? Don't you see the old lady's tea is cold? The old lady's face is so bad. Didn't you wait for her to take a nap at noon? "
Old lady Hong's maids in the yard are all sweet mouthed and pleasant looking, and there are also some sharp hands and feet, but occasionally they will be lazy. Even if the old lady finds out that they are just clever mouthed, and then they insult themselves a few times, and then they make the old lady laugh again. Therefore, some rules in the yard are not very strict. Shen Xuan didn't take these things for granted.
The old lady worried that Shen Xuan was going to embarrass her own girl again. She found two boring mu lengzi for herself. She quickly waved her hand and said, "nothing, just a little tired after sitting for a long time."
Shen Xuan stood up very considerately and said softly, "it's all the daughter-in-law's fault. I can't see that the old lady is tired. She's still pestering the old lady here to chat. My daughter-in-law is going to leave now. I have to write to the master to tell him about the affairs in Beijing, and report the girl's safety by the way. " With that, he bowed respectfully to the old lady and stepped back slowly.From the beginning to the end, the second lady Miao only said one sentence at the beginning, but she couldn't catch it at all!
Her identity is not enough! One is the mother-in-law, the other is the sister-in-law with grade. What else can she do when they fight in the arena? Even if you want to please the old lady, it's not her turn to cut in!
What's more, it's true that my brother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in the same position!
However, she is not very angry! I just don't want to look at Shen Xuan's proud face!
Miao's eyes turned and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with letting the country girl into the house. At least, I don't have much insight. It's easy to handle!
She approached the old lady and said carefully, "old lady, look Let it go for the time being? When we meet the girl, will it save us a lot of trouble to give her a hand and let her go
Old lady Hong has the same idea, but she thinks more.
"It's just that girl, but a few money will take care of her. The key is to make it clear that Marquis Shen really married his daughter, and he also met our elder brother an? " How did she feel that Shen Xuan was prevaricating herself? Besides, it's said that Shen Xuan's relationship with her mother's sister-in-law is not very harmonious. It's strange that Mrs. Hou is willing to let her daughter marry over and live under Shen Xuan. Maybe you're bluffing yourself?
The old lady was a little angry. She thought of a better way.
That is: let angor marry two! Hong Xiue should be a big girl, and that girl should be Ping's wife! This is not a breach of contract, is it? Let's see if you are willing to let Angel carry a flat wife!
