After Shen Yiyao left, Aunt Pei came out of the inner room.
"Are you satisfied? Now that girl has to peel off her skin to get out."
Aunt Pei snuggled up to the old lady, slapped her leg with a beauty mallet, and said with a smile, "Look at what you said, auntie, isn't your niece annoyed at you too? That little girl dares to threaten you, niece. I couldn't swallow this breath after thinking about it all night."
The old lady clapped her hand, "You have a good way, and let her have a memory. But you can't do anything in private. Be careful not to steal the chicken and lose the rice."
"My niece knows that."
Auntie Pei understood what the old lady meant, and it was not a big deal to give her some pain, but if things got too big, it would end badly for the people in the town's government. Again, a dull knife kills people the most beautiful, and no one else can get hold of it.
As for whoever the three girls hate, that's none of their business. After all, it's always the lady who gives the order. Thinking of this, Aunt Pei burst into a meaningful smile.
Madam Yan looked at her niece who was beating her leg obediently, and sighed silently.
Yu Jin was the one she had grown up with since she was a child. She was cute, cute, and clever. She was also the daughter-in-law candidate she had always wanted in her mind. She originally thought that when she was old enough, she would marry her to Yan Ting, the eldest son of her future prince, but unfortunately this calculus was disrupted by the old prince who was still alive at the time.
Madam Yan understood what the old man was thinking.
The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion looks bright, but the title has been passed down to the last generation. The need to find a powerful in-law is imminent, and the Pei family is not powerful enough, it is just an ordinary family of officials and eunuchs with a few not-so-small officials.
The old lady didn't say anything, she was still thinking about which bright people would come to their house. If they are not qualified, they feel that the Hou Mansion is rich and noble, but they don't need it. If they can do their best in the future, how can they marry their daughters.
Unexpectedly, Lord Hou actually appointed Ting'er the direct daughter of Duke Zhen's family. At that time, the old lady was really overjoyed.
What kind of family is Zhen Guo Gongfu
That is the close minister of the emperors of all dynasties!
Shen Hen, the first-generation Duke of Zhen Guo, was also one of the heroes who accompanied Tai/zu to fight the country back then, but the heroes were different from the heroes. At that time, when the world was first set, it was considered a hero to lead a horse by the side of Tai/Ancestor at that time.
However, the name of the first-generation Duke Zhenguo was well deserved, and no one could argue against it.
Shen Hen is a very old man. At first, he rebelled with Tai/Zu, and then accompanied Tai/Zu to the north to fight for more than ten years. Not only did he hold a third of TaiZu's soldiers and horses, but he also saved TaiZu's troops. Several times, the two fell in love.
At that time, when Tai/zu first ascended to Dabao, everything was still in chaos. Before the awards for meritorious officials were awarded, there were rumors that the ancestors wanted all the birds to hide their bows, and many generals did not dare to surrender their military power. At this time, Shen Hen stood up and said nothing, handing over all the military power in his hand.
Tai / Ancestor was moved and said that brotherhood would definitely live up to him in the future.
Tai / Ancestor also did what he said, and after that, the meritorious person awarded him a reward. He defied the public opinion and sealed Shen Hen as the Duke of Zhenguo, which is hereditary and will never be relegated.
This is the only hereditary and irreplaceable title among all the heroes of different surnames who have been knighted, and the others are limited. He also bestowed the first Danshu Iron Coupon to avoid death since the founding of the country, Duke Daxi.
The Danshu Iron Coupon, also known as the Golden Book Iron Coupon, is shaped like a tile and has iron and gold characters. It is limited to the military meritorious service, and is named as the honorable minister of the Duke, Hou, and Uncle. There are two types of Danshu iron coupons. One is to record only the great achievements of the recipient to the court, as well as the reward of the title, and the emperor grants him privileges. This is the most common type. There is another kind that has all of the above, but a special exemption from death is added to the privilege, which is also known as the iron coupon for exemption from death.
Although it is not conspiracy, only other capital crimes, but this can be said to be an extra life-saving talisman.
There was a rumor that Tai/zu once privately said to Duke Zhen Guogong, "Brother Hen, you rescued me three times. The uprising was for one time, and the siege of Taicang was another time. You blocked an arrow for me in the battle of Mohe, and you nearly died that time." Survival, is the third time. After that, when I first boarded Dabao, everyone guessed that I excluded all the aliens, and you handed over all the military power in your hand to support me, and then others were forced to hand over the military power in your hand due to the situation.
Although I am the emperor, there will always be a day when I will die. The world is unpredictable. Who can know whether my descendants will treat the descendants of Shen surname as kindly as I do? I promised that day that I will live up to you in the future, and I will give you pills today. The book iron coupon can be exempted from the death penalty four times, and it is my Luo Zitao's blessing to the descendants of your Shen Hen.
Duke Zhen Guo howled on the spot, holding Tai/Zulong's legs and sobbing silently.
So that piece of Pill Book and Iron Coupon, which could save him from death, was treasured in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and it became something that other honorable people looked up to.
After Tai | Ancestor collapsed, Shen Hen passed away. Zhen Guogong Shen's lineage pursued the ancestors. They were all the emperor's close ministers from generation to generation. In addition, because the descendants of the Shen family have more talents, there are countless people who have made contributions to the society. Up to now, other honorable officials who are also the founders of the country have gradually declined, but the government of Zhenguo has flourished and shined extremely.
If it weren't for the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family who never entered the palace as a concubine, or else the queen would also be the queen, so Mrs. Yan was really surprised that she could marry the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family, and she was more than pleasantly surprised.
Shen Yiyao had just been married for more than a year, and the whole family took care of her and loved her extremely. Then something happened that changed the whole situation.
The old marquis has always been in bad health, and he fell ill after Yan Ting's marriage. Lingering on the sick bed, unable to recover for a long time, someone suggested Chongxi at this time. At that time, none of the males in the family were of marriageable age, so Yan Ting carried his cousin Pei Yujin into the door.
No one knew that this was what Yan Ting had planned in the first place. He thought that he would have to coax Shen Yiyao to make the trip. Who knew that God would help him, and Pei Yujin was carried into Weiyuan Houfu as a gift of concubine.
And Shen Yiyao was taught by the ladies from a young age. Although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, which man was not three wives and four concubines, plus it was for the joy of her father-in-law, she nodded and agreed.
Pei Yujin entered the door, respectful to the main room, and filial to the old lady, neither competing for favor nor picking on things, and her behavior was unrivaled. At that time, the old man was already unconscious, otherwise he would definitely not agree to this matter. It's a pity that his idea is good, but Yan Ting and Mrs. Yan have their own thoughts, and Pei Yujin sells it well. There have been many years of feelings in it, and these two people are more and more biased towards her.
Of course, Yan Ting and Mrs. Yan hadn't forgotten the Duke Zhen who was standing behind Shen Yiyao, and they also understood that their future depended on their in-laws. It is also very good for Shen Yiyao, but this good has a slightly different meaning. And because Aunt Pei resented that Shen Yiyao had robbed her of her wife, she secretly used words to provoke Yan Ting and Mrs. Yan. Over time, the perfunctory elements of the good were gradually increasing.
And Shen Yiyao is also stupid, Aunt Pei is behaving in front of her. After getting along for two years like this, Aunt Pei actually asked her to help her with the housekeeping. And because Yan Mo was in poor health later, Yan Ting mentioned a few words, and she handed over the housekeeping to Aunt Pei.
After Yan Mo gave birth, she was not in good health since she was a baby. She took care of her son and had no time to keep the house, so this matter of feeding fell into the hands of Aunt Pei. Aunt Pei did a good job on the surface, and occasionally asked Shen Yiyao for instructions. Seeing that Concubine Pei was taking care of her well, Shen Yiyao didn't bother to bother about it, and slowly stopped asking.
It gradually formed that although Shen Yiyao was Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, she had no power in her hands, and because Mrs. Yan favored Aunt Pei in everything, the servants were not blind, so they knew where to go. And Shen Yiyao is still immersed in the illusion of conjugal love, harmony between Jinse and mother-in-law's love.
***
Yan Yan was tired and hungry. According to the duration of the light, she estimated that it was almost noon, but no one came.
Although her mother is a bit stupid, she has always loved her. After so long, her anger should have subsided. Yan Yan thought that someone would come to let her out soon, but no one came.
I don't know how long it has passed, and there is a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Even though Yan Yan was always stubborn, she was overjoyed at this time. She touched her hair, wiped her face with her sleeve, and went to sit on the futon over there.
The door was opened, and the room was full of light.
Yan Yan thought she would meet Qin's mother or her maid, or someone around her mother, but she didn't expect it to be a woman, a woman with a round face.
"Three girls, the slaves have brought you water and food."
The old woman looked around and put the tray in her hand on the ground.
"This small Buddhist hall is simple, so you should just take it."
There is nothing to pick on this old woman's words, but there is a bit of irony in her tone, and Yan Yan can hear it anyway.
"Is my mother going to let me out?" she said stiffly.
The old woman pouted and put on a smirk.
"The three girls can't go out at the moment. Madam said that you are very angry, so you can take good care of the fire in this small Buddhist hall. And if you die, you will be locked up for half a month."
Yan Yan couldn't believe it and said, "You lied to me?"
"Hey, how dare the slave girl lie to you, the third girl, then you will not be able to whip the slave girl with a whip. If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, Madam."
After speaking, the old woman hurried out, closed the door, and locked it.
Yan Yan was still stunned: "You lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me, my mother would not treat me like this..."
After repeating like this for a while, she suddenly rushed to the door, took out the whip and swiped it at the door. "You lied to me, my mother wouldn't treat me like this!"
No one responded to her, and there was no sound all around.
She cries and slams the door, and suddenly, she lowered her head and laughed twice, "Yan Yan, she didn't lie to you! Someone said a few words, isn't that what she is?! She has always been like this, and even more so. Besides, she was already tired of you being so disobedient to her that she didn't look like a lady..."
After saying these words, Yan Yan lost the whip in her hand, and her face became expressionless. She looked at the tray on the ground, and she would definitely not eat something that a stranger brought her in the past, but now she picked it up and sat down on the futon.
First, he took a sip of the water from the pitcher, and then he took the steamed buns a little bit and fed them into his mouth. I ate both steamed buns and drank most of the water in the jug.
She sat there quietly for a long time, and suddenly she sneered and murmured, "Your surname is Pei, you are still too timid, why didn't you kill me!"
