"Madam looks really good in this color!" Chunliu couldn't help admiring the master who looked younger all of a sudden.
On weekdays, Mrs. Shizi always likes to wear clothes that are not indigo, dark green, and other dark colors. Although it adds a bit of calm and dignified momentum to her, she looks a few years older.
Isn't it better to dress up like this now
The British government started with martial arts, and the previous princes were all famous warriors; the current British princess, the eldest princess, is the first-line aunt and has two sons and a daughter.
The eldest daughter is married to the eldest son of the Duke of Wei; the eldest son, Wei Junting, has little achievements in civil and military affairs throughout the year. He has been fighting with his father since he was fourteen years old. He married Fang Shi, the eldest daughter of Pingliang Houfu. After passing away, the position of the eldest son fell to the head of the second son Wei Junhang.
Although this Wei Junhang was born to Wei Junting's mother, he is much inferior to his outstanding elder brother, and there is nothing extraordinary about him. And he has a leisurely nature, and most of the people he interacts with on weekdays are the idle children of various noble families. Over time, he actually got the title of a dandy, and the Duke of England was so annoyed that he wanted to beat and kill this rebellious son who harmed the family tradition. .
As Wei Junhang's wife, although Shen Xinyan has risen to become the wife of the eldest son, she is not the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion in the eyes of the Eldest Princess.
The requirements of the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are naturally different. The eldest princess took this point into consideration when choosing a daughter-in-law for her son, so she hired Fang Shi, a capable daughter-in-law from the Marquis of Pingliang's mansion for the eldest son, and hired a daughter-in-law for the second son. He married Shen Xinyan, a girl from Jing'an Bofu who he liked.
It's a pity that the world is tricky, and in the blink of an eye, the capable eldest daughter-in-law becomes a widow.
Although Shen Xinyan in her previous life was the wife of the eldest son, she was overwhelmed by Fang Shi in everything. The only thing that could make her proud in front of Fang Shi was that her son was far better than Fang Shi's son!
At least, the Duke of England chose to keep her son by his side instead of choosing Fang's son.
Speaking of which, her state of mind is also very strange. She is annoyed that her father-in-law took away her son regardless of her wishes, but also proud that her father-in-law values her son.
Shen Xinyan was also a little absent-minded, changing into this elegant color, it was like seeing herself who was still in her boudoir back then.
However, gradually, the figure of the bronze mirror was replaced by a beautiful face.
She pursed her lips, without saying a word, took off her snow-green gown and dress, and put on a brand new silver-red gown with a little powder on it, making her look even more dazzling, and Chunliu on the side couldn't help but admire .
"Ma'am still has a good eye. This one is even better than the one just now. If you go outside with the fourth girl, maybe people will think you two are sisters!"
Shen Xinyan's face froze immediately when she heard the word "Four Girls", and she even felt a burst of heartache.
"Yingzhi, Ying'er..." Her lips trembled, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she struggled to call out her daughter's name.
Wei Yingzhi, her only daughter, still vividly remembers the grief and despair of a white-headed man sending a black-headed man in her previous life. The death of her daughter was also the most direct reason why she hated Zhou Guanning and the Zhou family, even though Zhou Guanning was pregnant with her grandson at that time.
However, what brought her hatred to its peak was her son's protection of the murderer—Second Brother Zhou Wanning.
At that time, she was completely insane. She didn't want to hear any explanation. She only knew that her daughter was dead, but the murderer was just exiled to the border without pain. His glorious days.
Why? ! Why? ! ! Why should his surname Zhou be able to achieve his glory and happiness through the blood and tears of others! Why should her daughter die, but the Zhou family's daughter can still live happily without heart!
Her daughter is still so young, she hasn't even had time to marry her...
"Madam misses Miss Four? Just now, Nanny Sun took the boy back and forth, and Miss Four will be back soon." Chunliu thought that she missed her daughter who had gone to the Jing'an House, and said with a smile.
That's right, her Ying'er is still alive and well, and will be back in a while!
She took a few deep breaths, tightly clenched her slender hands in her sleeves, barely suppressed her trembling body, and slowly sat down on the imperial concubine's couch.
She lowered her eyes and searched her mind for her memories of this life. This year, her Yinger was only six years old. Yesterday she took her daughter back to Jing'anbo Mansion, but her mother didn't want to part with her granddaughter and left her behind.
She silently sorted out the memories of this life, and couldn't help but feel a little lucky in her heart.
It's all over, everything in the previous life is over, the daughter's misfortune hasn't happened yet, everything is still possible to recover. In this life, she will never argue again, whether it is Zhou Guanning or Li Guanning, Chen Guanning and Sun Guanning, her son will marry whoever he likes.
The beating heart gradually calmed down, she let out a long breath, and saw the maid Xia He walking in with a sullen expression on her face.
"Sister, what's the matter? Could it be that the mothers-in-law in the back kitchen dare to look at my sister?" Chunliu was just putting the folded clothes back into the cabinet, when she turned around and saw Xia He's appearance, she asked casually.
Xia He barely suppressed the annoyance in her heart, and greeted Shen Xin Yan Fu, bitterly said: "Madam eats bird's nest porridge every morning, this is already a rule. This morning, the servants saw that there was no bird's nest porridge in the breakfast meal, So I went to ask about it, but I hate that Nanny Cui actually said that our courtyard’s expenses have exceeded this month, and now the prices of bird’s nests in various shops are increasing, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to supply them until next month.”
"What's the reason? Nuo Da is a Duke's mansion, and even Shi Zi's wife can't even eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge?" Chunliu became anxious immediately.
"That's not exactly what you said!" Xia He's face was very anxious.
This is clearly bullying the wife's good temper. If the eldest princess or even the eldest lady wants to eat, how dare Nanny Cui reject it like this
Shen Xinyan's face was expressionless, but she secretly sneered.
For a moment, she glanced at the maidservant who was fighting for her, and said indifferently: "Isn't it just a bowl of bird's nest porridge? It doesn't matter if you don't eat it for a few days. You are also people around me. You are worried about such a little thing, don't you?" Make people laugh!"
It was the same in her previous life, and at that time, although she was angry in her heart, she finally endured it. Looking back on her previous life, she, Fang Shi, was always forbearing, and kept forbearance. Even though she was ashamed and annoyed to death, she still swallowed it alone in the end.
It's just because she knows that Fang is the daughter-in-law who is most satisfied with the mother-in-law and the eldest princess, and the future wife of the princess who is the most satisfied with the eldest princess. If it wasn't for Fang's bad luck and her husband's death early, how could the name of the wife of this son fall on her own head.
But, in this life, will she still be patient
She sneered again.
No, not anymore!
The result of her repeated concessions in her previous life was to allow Fang's dove to occupy the magpie's nest, fully grasp the power and status of the Duke's wife that should belong to her, and let her repeatedly provoke the relationship between her and her son.
Anyway, this life of hard work is a windfall, not what she wanted, so why doesn't she live more comfortably!
Slowly sat down at the dining table, and looked at the breakfast that had been set on the table long ago—a few small porridges and a few delicate side dishes, although they were not her usual ones, they didn't look too bad. At least it can be explained that although the Fang family is in power now, no one with a wink dare to embarrass her, the wife of the eldest son, in the open.
Every morning when the eldest princess woke up, she would go to the small Buddhist hall to chant scriptures, and after the scriptures, she would simply have some light breakfast. She is quiet by nature, and impatient for her daughter-in-law to set the rules, so her daughters-in-law would come to her room to say hello to her after she had had breakfast.
Apart from the two sons and one daughter of the Eldest Princess, the Duke of England also has a bastard son of a concubine, who is now the third master Wei Junxian.
This Wei Junxian's biological mother died young and was raised in the eldest princess's house after urinating. Yang Shi, the daughter of the Minister of Rites before marrying his wife, now has two sons and a daughter with Yang Shi. This Yang family has an exquisite temperament, although she is a concubine's daughter-in-law, but she is used to please and act obediently, and she has some face in front of the eldest princess.
As soon as the maids in this room cleared the dining table, Fang Shi, Shen Xinyan and Yang Shi walked in one after another with light steps.
The eldest princess only felt her eyes light up suddenly, and her eyes fell on the silver-red figure behind Fang without knowing it. When she recognized that person as her second daughter-in-law Shen Xinyan, there was a bit of surprise on her face.
After all these years, it was the first time for her to see the second daughter-in-law so well-dressed. Wearing a silver-red forging face with a long collar, a simple bun on the head, a butterfly-shaped gold hairpin inserted, and gold gourd pendants inlaid with jewels in the ear, they are obviously red and gold, which are easy to be vulgar, but they do not complement each other. The more glamorous she is, the more she is different from her usual image.
Looking at it like this today, she somewhat understands why the second son picked her out of so many young ladies from honorable families at a glance.
"The way you dress up today is very good-looking, exactly as it should be. What do you do at such a young age, you must dress lifelessly."
Shen Xinyan was stunned, she never thought that Princess Dachang would say such a thing to herself. It's just that I quickly realized it, and said with a smile: "Mother is right, I was confused in the past."
She had known for a long time that the Eldest Princess already had a candidate for a second daughter-in-law, and it was her husband Wei Junhang who insisted on marrying her. After entering the door, she was afraid that others would think that it was her self-sufficient appearance that seduced Wei Junhang to marry her, and also that her elders would misunderstand her frivolous behavior, so she deliberately dressed herself in a solemn and stable direction, and she got used to it over time.
But she didn't expect that all of this turned out to be just her own "thinking"!
She curled her lips bitterly.
In her previous life, she cared too much about other people's eyes, so she restrained herself repeatedly and made her life so tiring.
Yang's eyeballs rolled a few times, she smiled and stepped forward to hold Shen Xinyan's arm affectionately, and said: "Isn't that right, when I saw my second sister-in-law just now, I thought I saw a fairy in the world! The whole room is illuminated by the second sister-in-law's face."
"The mouth of the third brother and sister is still so cute!" Fang's eyes glanced back and forth between Shen Xinyan and Yang, and answered in a neutral manner.
With a smile on Shen Xinyan's lips, she glanced at Fang Shi, and saw that she had turned around and chatted with the Eldest Princess.
Yang wanted to say something more, but when she saw this, she just curled her lips.
In terms of a flattering mouth and a family member, this sister-in-law is ranked second, who dares to be the first, isn't the eldest princess now coaxing her eyes to smile! What are you talking about chastity and indifference? If she is really so indifferent, she shouldn't still be clinging to the middle minister in the mansion!
It's just that she always knew her identity, and although she was unhappy in her heart, she didn't dare to say too much. Don't look at the eldest princess who treats them equally in front of her. If there is anything, it is her direct daughter-in-law, especially the eldest daughter-in-law Fang who is her favorite.
She calmly glanced at Shen Xinyan who was sitting on the other side. Secretly said: This is also stupid, she has become the wife of the son of the world, and it is most justified, but she is pressed on the head by a man who has no husband.
