Guo Yuanshuang was in a good mood to be able to continue to be the housekeeper at the moment, and the things he brought were good things, of course, to appease Shan Banyan.
"Thank you." Smiling, watching Guo Yuanshuang bring the tonics, Shan Banyan just glanced at it lightly, and didn't feel much about it.
"Sister-in-law is precious now, and now mother doesn't want you to be tired, but just tells you to rest well, but I am unlucky, and I have to take care of this family. From now on, sister-in-law can just tell me if she needs anything, mother explained Now that you are here, you must put the child in your womb first in everything, sister-in-law is very lucky!" His words were full of envy, but Guo Yuanshuang's heart was full of disdain. From her point of view, Shan Banyue is infertile. She has been married to Shen Wenhua for more than 20 years, and she has only one son and one daughter, but she still occupies Shen Wenhua alone. Isn't this infertile
But why does God treat this person so well? Not to mention having her husband's special pet, she is still pregnant now, and at such an old age, she is not afraid of embarrassment!
"I'll trouble you from now on." He had expected that he would be the housekeeper so soon after being away for so long. When she married back then, didn't Mrs. Shen also hesitate to let go of the housekeeper's right? Mrs. Shen has been strong all her life, she always meddled in the affairs of this house, but now she let the person in front of her do it, Shan Yuerong once again lamented Mrs. Shen's eccentricity.
But fortunately, she has seen it for a long time, and now she is able to conceive another child, and she is also full of gratitude in her heart. Now her body is important, since someone is willing to worry about these things, let the other person worry about it!
"What is sister-in-law talking about? We are all one family. I have been taking care of it all these years, and it is handy. Now sister-in-law just needs to rest. I am unlucky, so I should be more tired!" Although some self-deprecating The tone of his voice, but the smile on Guo Yuanshuang's face remained the same, looking at Shan Banyan's belly with a little jealousy.
It would be great if she is the one who is pregnant now. Although she has a son and a daughter, the more children, especially sons, the better.
"Thanks for your hard work." Shan Banyan is not particularly keen on the housekeeper's affairs, so she can rest now if she can, and let's talk about the future things later!
"Hehe, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for my sister-in-law to be pregnant with a child. The doctor also said that she needs to rest. For the elder brother, I think it's better for my sister-in-law to make preparations earlier. Ye Yu has come over now, and my sister-in-law will give it to her when she finds a day." Open your face, after all, it is the person sent by the mother, and he is already the eldest brother in name, so it is not easy to wrong her." Smiling, Guo Yuanshuang acted like I was doing my best for you, which made Shan Banyan angry and angry again. It's funny, "It's better to be prepared at home than a man messing around outside. My sister-in-law is like this now, I'm afraid she has enough energy to spare, so think about it carefully!" In fact, many women are like this. In order to keep their husbands, She would rather open the faces of the maids around her than to prevent her husband from messing around outside or being fascinated by some uncontrollable people. Guo Yuanshuang did the same thing herself, and she reminded Shan Banyan that of course she had her own purpose.
"My brother and sister have their own intentions. I know this matter well." I didn't expect Guo Yuanshuang to be so bold that he would directly mention this matter. Shan Banyan's face became colder. Guo Yuanshuang seemed to know that he would easily offend others by saying this, so he put on a face I'm doing you a good gesture, "Sister-in-law, although my words are not pleasant, they are also telling the truth. Whose wife didn't come here like this, sister-in-law is lucky, but this woman, there are always people who are old and ugly, when the time comes Sometimes I just want to keep it, and I'm afraid it will be difficult. Now that my eldest brother is an upright man, my sister-in-law must make preparations early. Don't let it get out of hand because of this reluctance. This capital is full of flowers, and there are many temptations. Sister-in-law needs to be careful..."
"Don't worry, brother and sister, I'll save it." The tone was much lighter. Shan Yuerong felt that Guo Yuanshuang was meddling in other people's business. She and Shen Wenhua, a young couple, have been in love for many years and naturally trust each other. When I was young, so many hardships have passed, is it because I can't stand it now
"Sister-in-law, as long as you know it well, you have to do this kind of thing as soon as possible, so that your mother can explain it to you. Sister-in-law decides for herself, and I won't bother you anymore. Take a good rest, and I'll come to see you some other day!" Xu Shi noticed it Regarding Shan Banyan's indifference, Guo Yuanshuang was tactful this time and didn't say much, just stood up and left.
"Well, then I won't see you off."
"Family, how can you be so polite to send or not? The sister-in-law is now in a fine body, so she can have a good life!" Turning around and leaving, the smile on Guo Yuanshuang's face disappeared immediately.
Shan Banyan, what are you proud of, maybe this is a girl in your stomach right now. I'll see then, what are you holding on to! Do you think this is Jiangnan, you can do whatever you want? You are not the only one who has the final say in Kyoto. If you don't want your eldest brother to take a concubine, it depends on whether your mother agrees!
Humph, we'll see!
…
In the following days, Guo Yuanshuang became more and more busy in order to express himself. But no matter how busy she was, she didn't dare to say hello to Mrs. Shen. She used to be careless, but since Shan Banyan came back, Guo Yuanshuang really realized the benefits of being liked by Mrs. Shen, and naturally became more dedicated. Every day, through the housekeeper, she would send some good things to Mrs. Shen, trying her best to please her. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Shen felt even more unhappy when she thought of Shan Banyan who had been recuperating.
But there is no way to do it, the doctor said Shan Banyan wants to rest. Shan Banyan didn't dare to be sloppy at all, she stayed in the house every day, and Shen Jingshu went to accompany her from time to time, the family was in her own yard, which was similar to when they were in Jiangnan. But Shen Jingshu knew that this peace would soon be broken.
"Shu'er, you are going to pay your respects to grandma these few days, is grandma okay?"
"Mother, don't worry, grandma is very good."
"What about grandma treating you? Is it okay?" Shan Banyan knew from the first day that Mrs. Shen didn't like Shen Jingshu very much. Shan Banyan was really worried that Mrs. Shen would target Shen Jingshu because of her. up.
"Mother, grandma is very kind to me, and asked me to have dinner with her today! Don't worry!" Knowing that Mrs. Shen is prejudiced against her, Shen Jingshu must of course try to please Mrs. Shen these days. human. Now she is very good at medicine and knows acupoints very well. The old man is prone to fatigue and is not in good health. She often gives Mrs. Shen a massage. Mrs. Shen sleeps well at night, and she is more dependent on her , as time goes by, he will naturally get closer to her.
This process has to be done slowly, Shen Jingshu is not in a hurry at all!
"Really? That's good." She was still worried that if she didn't go, Mrs. Shen would embarrass Shen Jingshu, but seeing her daughter like this, Shan Yuerong felt relieved.
My daughter has been sensible and intelligent since she was a child, and she would not let herself be wronged if she thought about it. She thought too much.
"Mother, I will get along well with grandma and make grandma like me."
"You child..." She didn't expect her worried daughter to know that Shan Banyan really felt that she was very happy.
"Hehe, so don't worry, mother, just take good care of your body now. Now the most important task of mother is to give birth to the child in your stomach, and don't worry about other things!"
"Well, I know!" Nodding, Shan Banyan smiled, and became a female celebrity with her daughter, but after doing it for a while, I saw a woman walking outside. The woman looked familiar, but Shan Banyan Tree never remembered that there was such a person in her yard, so she stopped her, "Come here!"
The woman didn't seem to expect to be stopped, her body froze for a moment, and finally she walked over, "Madame!" Keeping her head down, the woman didn't know how to face Shan Banyan, and at this moment her heart was also very embarrassing.
These days, she was only doing some chores in this yard, and Nanny Zhang didn't let her get close to Madam. She was also a little anxious today, so she walked over, thinking that Madam would not see it, but in the end...
What can I do
"Are you working in this yard?" I always feel that this woman is very familiar, but Shan Banyan can't remember that there is such a person in his yard.
"Yes, Madam!"
"Just here?"
"Um."
"When did you come?"
"A few days ago!"
"You raise your head and take a look!" Feeling a little weird, Shan Banyan frowned when she saw that the woman didn't raise her head for a long time, "I told you to raise your head and serve in this yard. Why don't you let me see it?"
"I don't dare!" Gritting her teeth, Ye Yu raised her head. Not long ago, Ye Yu knew that she looked somewhat similar to the eldest lady. At that time, she understood the reason why these old ladies cared for her, and she also felt in her heart. It's a bit bleak, and it's unavoidable at the moment, her eyes are full of sadness.
"You..." Seeing this appearance, Shan Yuerong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized where the familiarity this woman gave her came from.
Well, isn't this woman somewhat similar to her? then she...
"You're Ye Yu?" Thinking of the old lady's pride in talking about Ye Yu that day, Shan Banyan also had a bold guess, and now she directly said the name, although it was a question, but the tone was already very certain.
"Reply, yes..." Almost afraid to look at Shan Banyan, Ye Yu knew that she and Shan Banyan looked alike, but she never dared to think about things that didn't belong to her!
Isn't the ending of those people in front of you worth a warning? She is not stupid, the elder has refused to take concubines all these years, it must be because of the deep affection for the elder lady. Now knowing that he looks somewhat similar to Shan Banyan, and after seeing Shan Banyan again, the little fantasy left in Ye Yu's heart is completely extinguished.
This kind of eldest lady is the one who is truly worthy of the eldest master. What is she? It's just a substitute prepared by the old lady for the old man.
Ye Yu's mood in the past few days has been very complicated. When she learned that she could be Shen Wenhua's concubine, she also had some thoughts, hoping that she could fly on a branch and become a phoenix. At that time, she also imagined that she could step in between Shen Wenhua and Shan Yuerong, and be Shen Wenhua's only concubine, so her status would naturally be extraordinary. But after hearing the rumors about Shen Wenhua and Shan Yuerong one after another over the years, and now seeing the real person again, how could Ye Yu dare to think
Standing there anxiously, Ye Yu really regretted it to death just now because he walked past the door in a hurry, now standing in front of Shan Banyan, Ye Yu really felt that he was just like that ant, he was really too small up.
After a long time, Ye Yu felt that the atmosphere around him was a bit frozen, and finally saw Shan Banyan speak, "Since you are here, do your best in the future and keep your duty, I will not treat you badly .”
"Your maidservant will, don't worry, Da Furen!" Finally he breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Yu felt that this short period of time was very long.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, go and do it yourself, I will call you if there is something to do!"
"Yes, ma'am, this servant is leaving!" Feeling her feet were a little soft, Ye Yu left in a hurry, but she didn't know that after she left, Shan Banyan still looked at the direction in which she disappeared, thoughtfully.
"Mother, what are you thinking? So why are you fascinated?" In fact, Shen Jingshu was a little surprised when she saw Ye Yu for the first time, and she never thought that Mrs. Shen would make such a move, and it was really cruel enough. of.
"It's nothing, huh, huh, Shu'er, let's see, how is this embroidered mother?" That person really looks like her, and it seems that he has been here for a few days, why hasn't he heard anything from Wen Hua? what
"Mother's embroidery is of course very good, let me see!" Although Banyan Rong knew that he was thinking about Ye Yu, but Shan Banyan didn't say anything, and Shen Jingshu didn't want to ask too much. The mother and daughter talked about it with a smile. After finishing embroidery, it was still Shen Jingshu who saw that Banyan Tree was tired, so she left and let Banyan Tree take a good rest.
As soon as Shen Jingshu left, Shan Banyan, who had a tired face, opened her eyes immediately, "You guys go out first, let Zhang Momo come over!"
"Yes, Mrs. Zhang!" Nanny Zhang came soon, Banyan Tree only left Nanny Zhang, and asked directly, "Mom, that night rain has been coming for a few days, why is it so late these days? Didn't you tell me?" Although she knew that everyone was doing it for her own good, Shan Banyan was still a little uncomfortable feeling like this was being concealed, especially that Ye Yu still looked so similar to her!
The more Shan Banyan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Ma'am, Ye Yu was sent over by the old lady on the day you were sick, and she said she was serving you. It's just that the old man said that the lady had collided with her, so she asked her to wait outside, and also said that you, the lady, are not feeling well recently. , so I won’t tell you for the time being. Da Furen, don’t worry, this Ye Yu is a smart and sensible person, and she’s been very well-behaved these days, so she will definitely not bother Da Furen.”
"Mommy, did the elder tell you not to say it?"
"Just let's not talk about it for now. The old man said that he will tell you about it after you recover in a few days."
"Really? Nanny, do you think Ye Yu looks familiar?"
"Ma'am, this..." After hesitating for a moment, Nanny Zhang has been with Banyan Tree for many years, so she naturally knew who Ye Yu looked like that night.
"You can just say it!"
"The old slave was also taken aback when he saw it for the first time. This Ye Yu was somewhat similar to the Da Furen. At first glance, it was easy to think it was the Da Furen. But she is a servant, of course. She doesn't have the bearing of Da Furen, you can tell it at a glance."
"So you think she looks like me, really..." Mother, mother, how much do you hate me, and you even found such a person? Is it intentional to disgust me
"Don't be angry, madam. Don't hurt yourself. Don't worry, madam. The old man is sincere to madam. He has never seen Ye Yu in the past few days."
"Wenhua, of course I believe it, but now that my mother is like this, I really don't know if Ye Yu will fail, what else will she come up with!" This time it is somewhat similar, will it be the next time? Is it more like? Banyan Tree feels horrible just thinking about it.
"Madame, the Eldest Master knows it well. Now in this capital, the Elder Madam is not easy to get ahead in many things. Now the Elder Madam still has to raise a good child. When the Elder Madam adds a boy to the Shen family, many things will naturally be solved. It has become much easier. Finally, the old lady will deal with it naturally, and the old lady should keep her mind." This is for Shan Banyan to bear it. Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been enemies, and Madam Zhang also knows this. It is not easy for Banyan Tree to come forward, of course it is better for Shen Wenhua to come forward.
"Although he is facing me, that's his mother after all. I don't want him to be that unfilial person because of me. What should I do now?" In the past, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away in the south of the Yangtze River. Not an easy task. But now that she's back, Mrs. Shen is so close and resists too fiercely, it's not good to spread the news at that time.
"Don't worry, Madam, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and of course Ye Yu is here temporarily. The old slave will let people watch her, and won't let her succeed!"
"Now, it's the only way to go, hey..." She didn't expect Mrs. Shen to cultivate such a person to disgust herself, Shan Banyan was not in a good mood. When Shen Wenhua came back, he saw Shan Banyan laying sleepy, and he was very worried, "But today is not feeling well? Why are you still asleep?"
"You're back?" Shen Wenhua didn't tell her about this, Shan Banyan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"What's the matter? The spirit is not very good, but the body is not feeling well?"
"It's all right, I just feel a little uncomfortable..."
"How could it be? But who made you angry? Don't be angry, I have everything..."
"It's you who pissed me off."
"Me? What happened to me?"
"That night rain has come, why didn't you tell me?"
"This..." I didn't expect my wife to find out about this so soon, and Shen Wenhua felt a little helpless in his eyes, "I don't tell you, it's because you are not in good health these days, and I don't want to bother you. I thought about it for a few days I’ll tell you when you recover, but I didn’t expect you to find out first.”
"Is it because you're not going to tell me if I don't find out? Do you know what I thought when I saw her?"
"Aren't I going to tell you these days? Don't be angry, it's not good for your body."
"..."
"Okay, Rong'er, no matter what that Ye Yu looks like, she can't compare to you, don't worry. Just let her stay here for now, and then find an excuse to let her out of the mansion after a while." Yes. Anyway, she is here at this age, as long as she behaves, we will naturally not embarrass her!"
"But in this way, mother..." This is of course the best result, but Shan Banyan doesn't want to send one away, and another one will come. This is really troublesome, and she is a little tired.
"Naturally, I will explain to my mother. I will arrange this matter, and my mother will not say anything at that time."
"When will such a thing be the first?"
"Don't worry, find a chance, I will make it clear to my mother, but the time has not yet come, so bear with it!" Telling Mrs. Shen at this time undoubtedly ignited Mrs. Shen's anger. Of course, Shen Wenhua We must prepare well, and at a suitable time, we will make Mrs. Shen unable to hold on any longer.
This is the best way to do it once and for all.
"Okay, just don't hide things from me in the future."
"Okay, then I won't hide it from you. There is one more thing that I think you should know too."
"whats the matter?"
"In addition to sending her over, my mother also sent Nanny Ruan to take care of her. She said that there are not many people around you, so it's inconvenient. You have to be prepared."
"Nurse Ruan?" Thinking of Nanny Ruan's tricks, Shan Banyan also had to be a little jealous, "It seems that my mother really values the child in my belly!" Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not easy to get along with, but it's really chilling to be like her.
"Nurse Ruan, you don't have to worry. Now that Zhang is in charge of the big and small things, she can't get involved. It's just that there are indeed fewer people in this yard, and the people in the mansion are complicated. They are all younger brothers and sisters these years. In control, after all, people are a bit more complicated. We just came here, in addition to some confidantes, we really need more people to serve us. Why don't we just buy some people after a while, train them for a while, and then we can use them, and we can also help you when the time comes. I am busy." Shen Wenhua's concerns were also right, they had been away for too long, and the people in this old house had changed too much. Especially now that they don't care about their family, they can't control many things, and they can't be sure of the loyalty of the people in the mansion, so it's the best choice to buy someone again.
"You're right, now we don't care about our family, and we don't know much about these people. The number of people brought from Jiangnan is also limited, so we should hurry up and buy some people, and we have to train them for a while!" Although the personal servants are all Confidant, but the road is far away, it is not easy to bring too many people here, not to mention that when I was in Jiangnan, many people were locals, and they were reluctant to leave their hometown. Shan Banyan and the others are indeed short of manpower at the moment.
"Okay, then you can tell your younger siblings to let Yazi come in. You, Shu'er and Han'er can pick a few more, and there will be more caring people."
"It's still your thoughtfulness!"
