Successfully poked Yang's heart, Shen Xinyan took a small sip from the tea cup beside her with a smile, and saw the eldest princess walking out from behind the standing screen with a smile on her face, supported by a young girl in purple .
She glanced at the girl, and recognized that it was Fang Birong, Fang's direct sister, the youngest daughter of Marquis Pingliang. Looking at the eldest princess' attitude, as expected, she treated Fang Birong as much as she did in her previous life.
Speaking of which, although Fang Birong is the concubine daughter of the Hou family, her fate is not very good. She is ten years behind her elder sister, Fang Shi, so she should grow up with a lot of love and affection. How could she think of it more than ten years ago? Marquis Pingliang offended Jinshang, and was exiled by Jinshang to become a magistrate. The good Hou Ye was exiled from the capital in such a disgraceful manner, and even Pinglianghou's mansion became a joke in Beijing.
Fang Birong also left Beijing with her parents when she was very young, and was sent back to Beijing by Pinglianghou and his wife to entrust the eldest daughter, Fang Shi, at the age of sixteen. Good marriage.
Compared with the younger sister, the Fang family is better. When Pinglianghou's mansion was defeated, she had already married into the British Duke's mansion, and her position in the Duke's mansion was already secure. The eldest princess, the princess of England, is a kind person, and she has a very good personal relationship with Fang's biological mother, so she doesn't neglect her because of her natal family, on the contrary, she has more sympathy and trust.
After the three sisters-in-law saluted and greeted the eldest princess one by one, Yang's expression could not be seen in the slightest. She smiled and stepped forward to hold Fang Birong's hand and said, "What a pretty girl! A fairy-like girl came here, but I have never seen it before, but now I see, such a pinnacle and sister-in-law really deserve to be sisters, no wonder my mother loves her so much."
Shen Xinyan wanted to laugh a little. Yang's mouth really makes people feel inferior, every sentence is full of deep meaning, if he didn't know her a little bit, he would have been fooled by her earnest appearance.
Listen, 'here comes a fairy-like girl', but as the master, she 'has never seen her before'. Doesn't this imply that the Fang family girl doesn't understand etiquette
There is also the phrase 'Pin and appearance and sister-in-law really deserve to be direct sisters', the sarcasm implied in these words, it is estimated that anyone who knows her Fang's attitude can hear it.
However, every word of what he said sounds like a compliment, making it impossible to find any faults.
Fang naturally also heard what she meant, and felt slightly annoyed, but it was hard to say anything, so she just pretended not to know.
The eldest princess slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Yang Shi, looking at her kind and enthusiastic smiling face, suddenly felt a little headache for some reason.
Fang Birong was not a fool, so she could feel that Yang was not as enthusiastic as she showed, so she couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Just thinking of his status as a dependent, he could only swallow the grievance back, and under Fang's guidance, he saluted Shen Xinyan and Yang.
Shen Xinyan casually took off the jasper bracelet from her wrist as a meeting gift, and Yang plucked a golden hairpin from her hair and gave it to her. They were all quite well-behaved, neither too warm nor rude.
But for Fang Birong, these meeting gifts are quite thin. Especially compared with the pearls and jade jewelry that the eldest princess and Fang Shi gave her not long ago.
"Thank you Ma'am!" Although she was not very happy in her heart, but she was born as a daughter of the Hou family anyway, so she thanked the two of them quite gracefully.
"I'll let you see those mud monkeys tomorrow." The eldest princess smiled and patted the back of Fang Birong's hand, lovingly.
"My aunt is too modest. I heard my mother mention that the eldest grandson of the British government is the most intelligent and outstanding, and the most Xiao Guogong. I never thought that I would not see her today." Fang Birong's voice was soft and soft, which was very easy to let go. People have good feelings.
Hearing her mention of the most outstanding grandson, the eldest princess laughed: "Brother Lin is a big kid, and he likes to pretend to be an adult. He is a little more reassuring indeed."
Fang Birong accompanied her with a smiling face, but there was an imperceptible worry in her eyes, and she subconsciously glanced at Fang, whose smile froze for a moment.
It seems that, as mother said, Brother Na Lin's status in the hearts of the Duke and the eldest princess is higher than that of her nephew Qi.
"Mother can't be partial! Brother Lin is a sensible child, but Brother Zhao and Brother Yue firmly remember to be filial to grandma. Yesterday Brother Yue specially left his favorite lotus cake, saying I want to leave it for grandma to eat!" Yang replied with a smile.
Brother Zhao and Brother Yue are her two sons.
"They are all sensible children, they are all sensible children! But you are not allowed to indulge Brother Yue to eat sweets anymore, and be careful that you have a toothache like last time." The princess's smile became brighter and brighter, thinking of Brother Yue Once because of the toothache, I couldn't eat, swallow or sleep, so I worriedly exhorted.
"Don't worry, mother, you're all on hold! You're only allowed to eat two yuan a day, and if there's more, you'll have nothing." Yang is a person who is used to climbing the pole, and when she told a lot of interesting stories about her children, she became more and more amusing. The eldest princess is happy.
Shen Xinyan was simply amazed. Look at others, what about the concubine and daughter-in-law? Still being able to coax the aunt to be happy, compared to the self in her whole life, it is so many times better!
The eldest princess and Yang Shi teased for a while, and chatted with Fang Shi and Shen Xinyan for a while, and then said to Shen Xinyan: "Your sister has not been back to Beijing for many years, and she is estranged from her relatives in Beijing. The day after tomorrow, you and your sister-in-law will take her to the Hundred Flowers Banquet at the King’s Mansion of Kang County, so as to open the eyes of the little girl’s family.”
These two sisters-in-law are naturally referring to Shen Xinyan and Yang's. Although Fang is the eldest son's daughter-in-law, she is a chaste person and is not suitable for such occasions.
Shen Xinyan was a little surprised, she was the only one who took Fang Birong to go in the last life, but she didn't expect to bring Yang Shi in this life. It's just that to her, it doesn't make any difference if there is one more person or one less, so she nodded and said: "What mother said is that the daughter-in-law has agreed."
Yang's eyeballs rolled a few times, but instantly understood the meaning of the Eldest Princess' move.
"Since that's the case, sister-in-law has to move out all the good things that are packed in the box, and dress up younger sister Fang to go to the banquet together."
"Sister-in-law's things are good, but they may not be suitable for this young girl. It's better to ask the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion to bring some latest jewelry and let Sister Fang choose what she likes. Isn't it better?" Shen Xin suggested with a smile .
"Yes, yes, yes, the second sister-in-law is more thoughtful. If I ask you, the shopkeeper of Nishangxuan will also be invited, and Sister Fang will be asked to pick out some clothes." Yang's face was filled with joy, and she hurriedly followed.
Although it is nominally to choose clothes and jewelry for Fang Birong, any fool knows that it is absolutely impossible to buy them for her alone.
Naturally, Yang is not an idiot. Shen Xinyan made such a good start, and she was not far behind, so she asked the Eldest Princess to settle the matter by making jokes.
The corner of Fang's mouth twitched invisibly, knowing that he was going to bleed profusely. Even if the expenses are paid from the company, isn't the money in the company also her money
She glanced at Shen Xinyan who always had a gentle smile on her face, and for some reason felt that the roots of her teeth were itchy.
This Shen shi didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong recently, and she felt aggrieved by everything she did!
Shen Xinyan received her gaze, looked back and gave her a soft and friendly smile, which became more and more suffocating so that she almost couldn't hold her breath.
"It's better to strike while the iron is hot. That being the case, at this moment, let people go to Linglong Pavilion and Nishangxuan to tell the shopkeepers, please bring the best goods from their stores as soon as possible. It's not good to buy it away." Shen Xinyan added another sentence indifferently.
"That's right, the second sister-in-law reminded me right, sister-in-law, let Mei Ying and Lan Ying by my side handle this matter, so as not to keep these two girls from being lazy all day long!" stand up.
"It's a no-brainer..." Mrs. Fang was about to decline politely, but Mrs. Yang didn't wait for her to say anything, and raised her voice to order Mei Ying and Lan Ying to quickly invite the two shopkeepers.
Seeing Mei Ying and Lan Ying running away without a trace, Fang vomited so much that she nearly broke her handkerchief, she could only smile on the surface and said, "This will bother the third sibling!"
"Don't bother, don't bother, we're all one family!" Yang's smile was so bright that it almost blinded Fang's eyes.
Shen Xinyan hurriedly pretended to drink tea to hide the smile that could not be concealed at the corner of her mouth.
Sure enough, she deserves to be the third Mrs. Wei who has no benefits and can't afford to be early!
The Eldest Princess smiled and watched the three sisters-in-law coming and going, without making a sound. In her opinion, it is not worthwhile to occasionally give some jewelry and headgear to the female family members in the mansion. And how did she know that Mrs. Fang had long regarded everything in the public house as the property of their eldest family, and asking her to pay such a large sum of money was no less than cutting flesh.
It would be fine if it was bought just for her younger sister, she also loves this little girl who is ten years younger than her. But for the other two rooms...
She took a deep breath, and tried her best to suppress the unhappiness in her heart, but she was upset in the end, and after talking with the eldest princess for a while, she got up and said goodbye.
Shen Xinyan naturally didn't stay long.
"Ma'am, are you really going to take that girl to Kang County Prince's Mansion?" Back in the house, Chunliu asked puzzledly while helping her change clothes.
"Of course it's true. I've already promised my mother. Could it be that there can be falsehood?" Shen Xinyan leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, very comfortable and authentic.
Chunliu thinks about it too.
"Ma'am, the eldest son is here." Xia He's joyful voice sounded from outside.
Shen Xinyan quickly sat up straight, and after a while, she saw Wei Chenglin walking in with increasingly steady steps.
"How many people did mother kick out of father's house recently?" Wei Chenglin asked directly after saluting.
Shen Xinyan was surprised, but she didn't hide it from him: "There is indeed such a thing. Could it be that those who don't have eyes are making trouble with you?"
