However, if the couple, the boss of the Zhou family, couldn't help themselves and didn't pay attention to the occasion, it wouldn't be a big deal. In the past life, no one knew that the boss of the Zhou family loved his wife and daughter like his life!
At this time, the boss of the Zhou family was probably still under the pressure of his aunt, and had to leave Beijing again and again to serve as a local official. Mrs. Shoufu did not expect that she thought she had won by expelling the unsightly eldest son from the Shoufu Mansion, but she didn't know the reason why adversity makes talents.
The actual achievements made by the boss of the Zhou family in office are enough to make people ignore the fact that he is the son of the chief assistant of Zhou. After a few more years, when he comes back, his radiance will no longer be suppressed by Mrs. Shoufu even if she wants to.
It's a pity that Shen Xinyan is only a woman in the inner house, and she knows very little about the official affairs of the previous dynasty, and what she knows is only limited to the gossip of the ladies and ladies in Beijing.
"It's actually from the chief assistant's family, tsk tsk, it's true that people can't be judged by their appearances. Seeing that the two of them look decent, I don't know how shameless and immoral they are!" Yang still had a look of contempt.
Shen Xinyan smiled slightly: "I think this is the song sung in operas that can't help it when the love is strong!"
Yang curled her lips in disdain, and muttered a few words, Shen Xinyan didn't hear clearly, and didn't take it seriously, she just took a deep look at Mrs. Zhou's graceful figure in the distance, her eyes were deep.
Mrs. Zhou's appearance and figure are already unique, and her daughter Zhou Wanning is even worse. Although she had never taken a fancy to Zhou Guanning, Shen Xinyan had to admit that Zhou Guanning's charming and uncommon style in her previous life was indeed rare in the world.
However, Shen Xinyan still remembers the evaluation that Princess Dachang gave her when Wei Chenglin proposed to marry Zhou Guanning - "I can be a beautiful concubine, not a good wife, let alone a clan's wife".
This could not be said to be harsh, especially at that time Zhou Wanning was not a girl from an ordinary family. Her father had already reached the third rank, and was even more valued by the Holy Spirit. She might not enter the cabinet like her grandfather in the future.
If the eldest princess's words spread, Zhou Wanning would never want to marry a good man in his life! Being judged as "not a virtuous wife" by today's aunt Jing and the eldest princess, who is the emperor's first-line aunt, which good family would dare to marry her
Although a little unkind, she admitted that when she heard what the eldest princess said, she felt very happy in her heart!
But the facts proved that Zhou Guanning was indeed not a qualified mistress. However, she has a very "almighty" husband, who is so "almighty" that he can go to the court and control the inner house, so she doesn't have to worry about the inside and outside.
Shen Xinyan had to admit again that Zhou Guanning was indeed the natural protagonist in that strange play!
***
Wei Junhang stared at the strange little figure in the house in surprise, Madam went to the temple, why did she bring a child back
"Master, please use tea!" When Yun Fu saw him coming in, he guessed that he was the Lord Chunliu, the husband of Mrs. Good Heart, so he hurriedly moved the stool and poured the fragrant tea, and in the end he even held a cup of tea. Bring out clean clothes to wait for him to change.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Wei Junhang had never been served by such a young child before, first he was taken aback by his actions, and then he saw him holding his clothes and stepping on the embroidered pier, shaking. , quickly carried him down.
"You child, what are you doing climbing so high? What if you fall down?"
"No, no, I can stand firmly, and I won't fall. Besides, I have thick skin, so it doesn't hurt even if I fall." Yun Fu was afraid that he would dislike him, so he patted his chest and said hastily.
Wei Junhang jokingly pinched and patted his small body here and there, and finally pinched his small face lightly: "I see that your small body is very thin, but you have a thick skin."
Is this a compliment to yourself? Yunfu is suspicious.
"Look at you, how old are you? You're still bullying children!" Shen Xinyan came out of the room when she heard the noise, and slapped her husband.
Wei Junhang chuckled, cleaned his hands with the basin Xia He brought, and took the clean handkerchief on his Yunfu's hand with flickering eyes and flickering eyes to wipe off the water drops.
After he sat down, Shen Xinyan told him about Yunfu one by one.
"So that's the case! If that's the case, let's keep him!" Wei Junhang nodded, staring at Yunfu, who seemed to be afraid that he would drive him away, and asked with a smile, "Little guy, what are you doing?" How old are you? You actually want to sell yourself, how much do you plan to sell yourself for?"
"Seven years old. Well, Shizi, is it okay not to sell yourself and sign the deed of work?" Yun Fu licked his lips a little uneasy.
"You also know about the existence of a contract of living?" Wei Junhang pretended to be surprised.
"You don't need to sell your body or sign a contract of living. Master Huiming entrusted us to take care of you. From now on, you can live here with peace of mind." Shen Xinyan helplessly pushed Wei Junhang, who was obviously taking pleasure in teasing the little guy, and said softly.
"No, no, no, you must sign the contract of living! Daddy said that you should not accept favors in vain." Unexpectedly, Yunfu shook his little head like a rattle.
Wei Junhang and his wife looked at each other, both surprised by his answer.
"You're still a child..." Shen Xinyan tried to persuade him.
"I'm not a child anymore, daddy said, mother is gone, I'm a little man at home! Now that daddy's gone, then I'm a big man!" Yun Fu corrected her statement seriously with a small face.
Shen Xinyan couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Junhang laughed loudly, and patted him on the shoulder, almost knocking the "big man" down, and quickly stretched out his hand to support him.
"In that case, madam, sign a deed of living with him!"
Shen Xinyan wanted to say more, but Wei Junhang gave her a wink, she was startled, and soon understood it, and sent someone to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study.
In less than a quarter of an hour, she looked at the well-formed name signed by Yunfu on the "living deed" with some surprise.
It seems that this child not only knows how to read, but also can write well at a young age. Judging by the handwriting, it's not much worse than her brother Lin who was carefully raised since childhood.
"How does Madam plan to arrange for this child? How about letting him follow Brother Lin?" Wei Junhang was also surprised at his showing, patted his head with admiration, and asked Shen Xinyan.
"I want him to follow Chunliu to get acquainted with the mansion for a while, and then let him go to Brother Lin's." Shen Xinyan had already made plans.
"This is more thorough." Wei Junhang nodded in agreement.
"Father!" The little girl's clear and loud cry suddenly rang out, and Wei Junhang's mouth cracked when he heard it, and he stretched out his hand to take his daughter with a smile, pinching her flushed face, "Good girl!"
The father and daughter laughed happily for a while, and the little girl finally found out that there was a strange child beside her mother at some point.
"Mother, who is he?" Sensing that her mother was looking at the boy with a gentle expression, the little girl quickly broke free from her father's embrace, ran to her mother's side, and hugged her mother tightly in a possessive posture. Kissing her waist, staring at Yunfu, and asking defensively.
"Don't be so rude, you have to call him Brother Yunfu, he will live in the mansion from now on." Shen Xinyan said helplessly, why didn't she notice her daughter's hostility towards Yunfu.
Yunfu's eyes flickered, and his mouth was slightly opened, as if he was a little surprised by the appearance of Xiao Yingzhi: "Ma'am, this younger sister is so pretty, is she your daughter?"
"Yes, her name is Yingzhi, she is one year younger than Yunfu, from now on you will treat her like your sister." Shen Xinyan replied softly.
"Who is his sister! She is not his sister!! He is obviously not as tall as me, and he is not as good-looking as my brother, so I don't want to be his sister!" The little girl was upset and retorted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Yunfu's face flushed red, and he was speechless for a while. After a while, he stammered and said: "I, I will also grow, grow taller in the future."
"When you grow taller, I will be taller, let alone be your sister!" Xiao Yingzhi snorted, and compared her height with him proudly, "See? I am taller than you! I am taller than you now , I will be taller than you in the future!"
He was indeed half a head shorter than the other party, and that was the case, and Yun Fu couldn't say anything to refute, so he turned his eyes for help to Shen Xinyan who was standing aside with a smile on his face.
Shen Xinyan smiled lightly and pushed down her daughter who was standing on tiptoe to make herself look taller, and then pinched her bulging cheeks: "Yunfu is older than you, so he is naturally a brother."
Seeing that her mother didn't help her, the little girl became upset, and immediately turned around and rushed to her father: "Father—"
Wei Junhang laughed and put his arms around her, coaxing: "What's so bad about being a younger sister, the older brother has to give way to the younger sister!"
The little girl buried her face in his arms, twisting like a twisted candy and humming.
"Ma'am, if, or I'd better be a younger brother." Yun Fu whispered.
"No, just do whatever you want, how can you let her go." Shen Xinyan stared at her daughter with a straight face.
This girl's temperament is a bit lawless, if she doesn't suppress her, if she develops that unruly and self-willed character, what will happen to her in the future!
Seeing her mother's appearance, the little girl suddenly felt even more wronged, her big eyes burst into tears, she rushed towards Yunfu and pushed him hard, and said loudly: "It's all your fault, I hate you!"
Yun Fu sat down on the ground without being pushed by her.
Shen Xinyan quickly pulled Yunfu up, stared at her daughter running out for a moment, and annoyed Wei Junhang: "Look at what you have done to her? She has a bad temper at such a young age!"
Wei Junhang touched his nose, and smiled flatteringly at her: "Isn't she still young?"
"As the saying goes, three years old is old. She is so self-willed, she loses her temper when things go wrong, who will be able to bear it in the future!" Somehow, thinking of her son's "unruly and self-willed" daughter repeatedly in her previous life, Shen Xinyan felt My whole heart tightened.
She is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid that her daughter will be "unruly and self-willed" in the future and wholeheartedly defend her cousin, going against Zhou Wanning everywhere, and finally getting herself to that irreparable point.
"It's not as serious as 'losing your temper when things don't go your way'..." Wei Shizi retorted in a low voice, seeing his wife's black face, he swallowed back the words of defense, and he dared not speak again.
"Ma'am, don't be angry, it's my fault." Seeing that he had caused trouble the first day, Yun Fu felt a little frustrated, pulled Shen Xinyan's cuff uneasily, and said softly.
Shen Xinyan took a few deep breaths, and forced a gentle smile at him: "It's not about Yunfu."
She was just suddenly affected by the events of her previous life.
