I saw Mrs. Shen wearing a golden robe with bright red butterflies and flowers all over the place, and Concubine Hong, a long dress with golden begonias and flowers, and walked in. She has bright eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her skin is like snow, and her whole body is not angry and powerful.
This dress is extremely eye-catching and very attractive. With Mrs. Shen's imposing manner, it is just right. It seems that such clothes should be worn by such people, so that they can be so domineering.
"Second aunt."
"Ayan, you've played well. You should beat these rude things hard, so that she won't dare to do it again next time!" I don't know if it's Yan Qian or Wu Qiong. Joan.
Wu Qiongqiong came this time with her mother, Mrs. Wu, but Mrs. Wu was not here at the moment. The incident happened too suddenly, and when everyone reacted, Wu Qiongqiong had been slapped on the ground, and Mrs. Shen walked in with an imposing manner.
When everyone saw that it was Mrs. Shen, they all avoided it.
Ma Quanfang just went out to greet Mrs. Shen, but on the way, the servants had already reported the situation here. As the master, she couldn't say anything when she saw this situation, so she could only order someone to help Wu Qiongqiong up.
Wu Qiongqiong is still dancing, "I'm going back and tell my grandfather..."
Mrs. Shen flicked her sleeves and snorted disdainfully, "Hurry up and tell Wu Shangshu, if there is anything we need to do, we will take care of you. You kid is ridiculous. I have to go to the Wu Mansion to ask, that's how your Wu family trains the girls in the mansion!?"
Wu Qiongqiong's right face was swollen so high that she choked with shock before she started to cry. Ma Quanfang made a look, and a few servants dragged her down. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pei Jiayu shrank his neck and followed.
Mrs. Shen stepped forward quickly, grabbed Yan Yan's hand, and said to Shen Yiyao: "Little sister, you are too kind, but if you are a little tougher, A Yan will not let such a thing happen to her head!"
He hugged A Yan again, pained: "My little A Yan, I feel so bad for my second aunt, even if you want to clean yourself up, you don't have to do it yourself, we people in the town of the government do not need to be afraid of bad reputation? Those who are clean are filthy, those who are filthy are filthy, and those with rotten mouths are willing to talk about it everywhere, let them talk, we are not afraid!"
Ma Quanfang continued with a smile: "Look at what Mrs. Shen said, so many ladies present are discerning people. It seems that this prostitute has bad intentions and wants to throw dirty water on Yan girl, and some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and fan the flames. She also admitted it herself, so how can anyone spread the truth and spread the truth indiscriminately."
This singing and harmony, the people standing on the side will be a little bad if they don't express their opinions.
"That's it."
"Mrs. Ben hates these things that are not on the table. If you give two points of color, you will open a dyeing workshop. If you treat her well, she will bite you instead!"
"Otherwise, the little woman's care is the little woman's care after all!"
"These things that are not on the table are all sinister and vicious."
"And the girl from the Wu family. I have long heard that she is unruly and willful. Today is an eye-opener."
No one wants to offend the Duke of Zhenguo, especially seeing Mrs. Shen's support. In the future, if this person spreads rumors outside, first of all, he will become a rotten talker, and he will also risk the threat of offending the government of the town, so even if there are those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, they will inevitably weigh it.
You must know that the people in the government of Zhenguo are notoriously domineering, and how can trivial matters between women involve the former master of his family. By that time, the Shen family would have taken the shot, and they would have been skinned by their own master.
They are all understanding people, and they change their faces very quickly. Ma Quanfang greeted everyone to move to Yaoyue Pavilion, and all the ladies also knew each other, all of them smiling, as if nothing happened just now, and took away their own junior girls by the way. Afterwards, he secretly explained that his juniors were not allowed to mention this matter on any occasion in the future, and naturally he didn't mention it.
Someone stepped forward and carried Yan Qian, who was slumped to the ground, out, and led Shen Yiyao and the others to move.
The group was arranged to go to Yunxiang Xiaozhu. Yan Chan, who had been staying in the house, was stunned when they saw Yan Qian's appearance, and Xiaocui collapsed to the ground in fright.
Both Yan Ru and Yan Ling looked bad, their expressions were sluggish and slightly worried. Yan Qian was thrown aside on the ground, and several servants brought by Mrs. Shen tied her hands and feet, gagged her mouth, and stepped back.
Needless to say, everyone knew that Yan Qian must have caused something to do this. Yan Chan had already found out that Yan Qian was gone, but she didn't dare to go out to find her, so she could only sit there silently anxiously. At this time, seeing Yan Qian so embarrassed, she was too frightened to come forward and ask.
In the other room, Shen Yiyao burst into tears.
Mrs. Shen Er sat aside and hugged Yan Yan, watching her cry.
"Ayan, it's all your mother's fault, it's all your mother who harmed you."
How could Shen Yiyao not understand the key point in the middle, it seemed that Yan Yan was pressing people with power, but the truth was finally revealed, and with the support of Mrs. Shen and Ma Quanfang, there would probably be no bad rumors outside.
But things finally happened. Today, there are so many ladies in Yiyonghou Mansion, and almost all of the more famous ones in Beijing have arrived. Others won't spread rumors about it, but such a fierce girl, who would dare to marry back and be a daughter-in-law. If one is wrong, he will fight with someone, and if he beats someone, there will be someone to back him up and press him down. In the future, the children in the family will not be completely overwhelmed by the pressure!
A little more reasonable family would not choose such a daughter-in-law. Of course, there is no shortage of people who want to take advantage of the power of the government, but how many such families are there? !
Shen Yiyao was heartbroken thinking about this. It was all because of her. A Yan didn't want to let Yan Qian come. If she was tougher, the old lady wouldn't break her face, but she thought about it with all due respect. The younger generation is always innocent, which caused such a thing to happen.
In fact, Shen Yiyao is a bit of a bullshit. After the old lady put those words on the surface, she would have a reputation of being vicious and unkind to the younger generation if she refused. The old lady will take this as a handle, and even more Needless to say, with the Chen family on the side, he will only tear his face with the old lady and the third room, and he will not be able to maintain the only harmony in the future.
Her idea is actually very simple, and it is also the consistent style of all the clan women. They pay attention to harmony. No matter what happens in private, at least it can ensure the harmony on the surface. After all, A Yan said that the kiss was imminent, and it was not good for anything to happen at home.
But what she didn't understand was that the hatred had already been forged, the old lady was eager to add some obstacles to her, and Yan Qian hated their mother and daughter for a long time. Yan Qian was also somewhat clever, so how could she not take advantage of the opportunity? revenge. There was also Wu Qiongqiong, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and they just got together.
Yan Yan was upset by Shen Yiyao crying.
In fact, she was a little bit resentful of her mother at first, but after seeing how she behaved, she lost her mind. Who could have predicted that this would happen, after all, it was just an accident.
"Okay, don't cry, isn't the matter resolved?"
"It's all bad mother, how should you marry in the future..."
Yan Yan's reputation was ruined, and Yan Yan felt a little uncomfortable, but it had already happened, so what could she do
"If you can't get married, you can't get married. I don't care, what do you care about!"
Hearing this, Shen Yiyao cried even more, almost fainting.
Mrs. Shen endured for a long time, and finally she couldn't help but stand up, "You know how to cry now, what did you do earlier?"
Shen Yiyao was so frightened that she stopped for a moment, and then continued to cry, but her voice was much lower.
"Who can you blame for this situation now? Back then, when the family didn't let you marry Yan Ting, it was you who cried and wanted to marry. How did I tell you that day? This man is not suitable for you. Little, that kind of complicated family is not suitable for you. Now you are not too young, and you have two children, but you have never understood it. I know you want to maintain harmony, but have you ever thought about that Aunt Pei was sent to Qingpu Nunnery because of you. You, A Yan, and A Mo will no longer be able to maintain peace with that concubine and concubine. You should be glad that the little thing is not poisonous enough. A little poison in it is enough for you."
Mrs. Shen's statement is a bit shocking, if you think about it, you can find that it is extremely likely to happen.
Since Yan Qian took the initiative to admit her mistake to Shen Yiyao, although Shen Yiyao seldom cared about her, she did not prevent her from entering the Jinse Courtyard. , this kind of thing is not unheard of in the homes of large families, and once it happens, it is irreversible.
Shen Yiyao couldn't help trembling when she thought of this, and even blamed herself in her heart.
Second Mrs. Shen's words were not meant to condemn Shen Yiyao, but to awaken her reasoning. Seeing her describe the mess, her heart softened, and she said warmly, "Well, it's not as serious as you think, so why would our Shen family's daughter worry about getting married. There are so many men in the world, there is always one suitable for A Yan. "
"real?"
"You have to understand that A Yan's character is like this. If you avoid it just because of these floating watches, you might as well avoid it early. The one who can marry us A Yan will only be someone who appreciates her frankness. A man of character, if he is married only for the sake of marriage, it is better not to marry."
Shen Yiyao understands the meaning of her sister-in-law's words. Only when she appreciates this kind of character will A Yan be happy when she gets married. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and there is that mother who doesn't want her daughter to be well.
"A Yan's marriage, I will also help to pay attention to it. It is very late for a noble girl in Beijing to marry, and it is not uncommon to marry at the age of seventeen or eighteen. A Yan is only fourteen now."
Only then did Shen Yiyao calm down his anxious nerves and calm down a little.
Mrs. Shen gave her a complicated look and continued: "Mother, she always complains about herself, and she taught you to be like this because it was all for your own good. She hopes that everything will be perfect, but she just ignores it. People's hearts. It's also because our family's situation is different from other houses that we have such a soft temper. Of course, it's not that you are not good, but you should understand when you can be kind and when you can't. At this point, it is useless to think too much, in the future you should remember that since you decide to go back to that home, you must be fully prepared, because you are not alone, you have two children."
Shen Yiyao was shocked, and her face was ashamed: "Sister-in-law, I know."
Mrs. Shen clapped her hand and sighed: "Sister-in-law didn't condemn you, but you also need to understand that once a lot of things happen, there is no room for improvement. It's good that everything goes well, but if it doesn't go well. , I also need to understand how to deal with it. But the concubine can no longer stay, so after returning to the mansion, she will be grounded, and then married away from afar. I have other things, I can't stay more, you must be there in the mansion There are still a lot of things to do. I'll deal with the Wu family, you can go back to the house."
Seeing this, Yan Yan whispered, "Second aunt, I caused trouble for you."
She was only guilty of causing trouble for her grandfather's family, but she didn't regret doing it.
Second Mrs. Shen smiled casually and stroked Yan Yan's hair, "What did the silly boy say, besides today, who else has our Shen family ever been afraid of?!"
This seems to be indifferent, but in fact it is very domineering. The people of the Duke's Mansion have always been like this. Mrs. Shen has been married for so many years, and she has also been infected with this kind of temperament.
"By the way, little sister, aren't you going to go home and see your parents?"
Shen Yiyao hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "Not yet."
Mrs. Shen gave her a meaningful look, it seems that this little girl is not a fool. It's good not to be a fool. As for how it will develop in the future, we can only wait and see.
She pondered for a while and said, "Dad let me tell you that Yan Ting has been very close to Concubine Xu in recent years, and he is afraid that Yan Ting will take A Yan's marriage and have a relationship with the two princes from Concubine Xu. ."
"How could the prince fall in love with A Yan?" Shen Yiyao said anxiously.
She doesn't mean to think that her daughter is not worthy of the prince. In her mind, her daughter may have some shortcomings, but no one can replace it. She was referring to the fact that princes were very particular about choosing marriages, and that every family had a special status in choosing them. But thinking of the particularity behind Yan Yan's back, he realized it in an instant.
"Second sister-in-law, I understand, our family has always had family rules, and we must not have an in-law relationship with the royal family. Although A Yan is not surnamed Shen, her identity has a different meaning. I naturally won't embarrass my father and create trouble for the family. "Shen Yiyao's tone is gentle, but her attitude is very firm.
The Shen family naturally has the consciousness of the Shen family. Since she was a child, Shen Yiyao was proud of the township of the government, so how could she not understand the reason.
The government of Zhenguo seems to be famous, but the crisis under the monstrous power and extreme glory is also looming. Why did the government of Zhenguo stand upright since the founding of the dynasty and was deeply trusted by the emperors of all dynasties. Relying on nothing more than a loyalty, not only to be loyal, but also to be knowledgeable, but also to know the way of life.
From the very beginning, the government of Zhenguo has adhered to the principle of neutrality, not standing in line, and only loyal to the emperors of all dynasties. Even the descendants of the Shen family in the past dynasties sacrificed a lot for the Duke's Mansion. For example, the Shen family has never had many children, and the Shen family has no rules for taking concubines. Even if they take concubines for some reason, they are not allowed to have children. Each generation of the Shen family is only a few people. Another example is that Shen Dong was at the border gate, why did not one of the people in the big house stay in the palace of the country, the eldest son of the second house, Shen Qi, went out to travel before he was crowned, and there was only one youngest son, Shen Qi, in the capital. There are also three men in the big room. So far, several of them have low official positions. Except for Shen Xuan, who was buried in the Chaohu Navy for more than ten years, he went to the Fujian Navy to serve as the chief soldier because of the opportunity. The other two are low-ranking. Hundreds of households.
This is all worth thinking about. There is no so-called glory that comes for no reason, and it pays more than outsiders imagine. The Shen family was taught by such words and deeds, including Shen Yiyao.
Second Mrs. Shen nodded and stood up, "Then I'll go, and you should go back to the manor earlier."
After Mrs. Shen left, Shen Yiyao took Yan Yan and others back to the house.
She wanted to say goodbye face to face with the handkerchief, but unfortunately Ma Quanfang was still hosting the chrysanthemum banquet in Qinxiang Garden. In this regard, Shen Yiyao felt very guilty, because a prostitute she brought with her almost made a mess of the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet held every year in the Yiyong Hou Mansion.
There are so many things that happened today, Shen Yiyao is still unable to calm down while sitting on the carriage returning to the house.
After returning to the mansion, she didn't go anywhere. She went to Rong'an Hall first, and left Yan Qian, who was still bound, in front of the old lady.
Shen Yiyao's actions not only shocked the old lady, but also alarmed Xue's and Chen's, both of them came over when they received a report from their servants.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the gloomy old lady and Shen Yiyao, who was sitting in the lower seat drinking tea with a gloomy and inexplicable face. When Xue Shi saw her daughter in the hall, she naturally saw that Yan Ru seemed to have cried, and her brows could not help wrinkling.
"Since the eldest sister-in-law and the third siblings are here, I will tell you what happened today. The eldest girl and the fourth girl were there at the time, so it's up to you to talk about it?" He spoke slowly.
Yan Ru and Yan Ling glanced at Yan Qian on the ground in disgust, and began to describe what happened today. Two are narrated by one person, and one is supplemented, but it is also coherent.
As the two of them spoke, everyone's faces changed, especially the old lady's face was rather ugly.
"Yan Qian is at fault, but A Yan shouldn't beat people in public. This time, the suspicions of others are confirmed." After a long silence, the old lady said.
There was a crisp sound of the tea cup being placed on the table, and Shen Yiyao's face seemed to be angry rather than angry, "That mother's meaning, Yan Qian is still right in arranging A Yan, should I be unlucky for A Yan?"
The old lady suffocated, and murmured: "I don't mean that, I mean, it's better to go back to the government to solve this, why bother to make it known to everyone. What's more, the shame of the family can't be made public, what's the matter? The manor can't say, we have to talk about it outside, what is the reputation of our Weiyuan Hou mansion?" After speaking, the old lady became more and more dissatisfied, and her tone became hard.
What made the old lady feel ashamed, the reputation of Weiyuan Hou's mansion was for one, and the other was that this matter involved the girl of the Pei family.
"That mother means that this shit bowl should be put on A Yan's head. If you don't pursue the perpetrator, you will blame the victim." Shen Yiyao's tone was rather resentful.
Seeing her always honest daughter-in-law talking back to her, the old lady felt even more uneasy, "If Ayan does her best on weekdays, why would anyone be bored to arrange her, why don't I see Qian girl to arrange big girl? !"
In fact, Yan Qian's statement is quite in line with the old lady's mind. In her mind, Yan Yan's little monster is just like that. Yan Qian is not wrong at all. She didn't come out for Yan Qian, but blamed Yan Yan for everything. It was because she was arrogant that she ruined the reputation of Weiyuan Houfu.
Shen Yiyao laughed in anger and stood up, "Okay, okay. I didn't plan to let my mother be the master. The reason why I said so much is to explain one thing. If it doesn't matter to the other people in this house, please don't press people with tall hats in the future, and let's all sweep the snow from your own door!"
The old lady didn't expect Shen Yiyao to behave like this, and her face darkened, "Second daughter-in-law, what do you mean?"
Shen Yiyao became hard-hearted, "It's not interesting, I just don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future, I just hate me to the bone, why should I be such a good person!"
Seeing Shen Yiyao being so determined, even Xue Shi couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly persuaded her to get up.
Tears flashed in Shen Yiyao's eyes, but her attitude was firm: "Sister-in-law, the eldest girl and the fourth girl are good, just because they help A Yan today, I will not care. I know who is good to me and who is not good to me, yes If I'm good, I will naturally repay it, and if it's bad for me, don't treat everyone as a fool!"
These words were thrown out loud and powerful, making the old lady's chest heave with anger, and Mrs. Chen's expression was extremely bad.
"Since the second girl is my second wife's concubine, I will naturally be disciplined by my mother-in-law. If you come, the second girl will be confined in your own house until the time of marriage, and no one will be allowed to visit during this period."
As soon as these words came out, a servant lifted Yan Qian down.
Shen Yiyao didn't stop any longer and walked out the door.
The old lady didn't expect that Shen Yiyao would give herself such disrespect, and slapped the case angrily, "Do you still see me as a mother-in-law?"
"If mother thinks that my daughter-in-law is not good, she will write a divorce letter to divorce me."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, Xue Shi could understand why Shen Yiyao suddenly changed, but Chen Shi was stunned and worried. The old lady was so angry that she fell on her back and crooked on the Luohan bed.
Shen Yiyao walked out of Rong'an Hall without even looking back.
Yan Yan, who was following behind her, suddenly felt better. It seems that this situation is not bad
When Yan Ting returned to the mansion in the evening, he felt the strange atmosphere in the mansion.
The old lady was naturally crying again and again, but Yan Ting didn't perfunctory her again, and made it clear that she would not rest Shen Yiyao.
The old lady was very surprised. Although her son also indicated that he would not leave Shen Yiyao before, he had never been so firm and always hesitated. How could he have changed so much now!
Yan Ting showed a win-win smile, and slowly revealed his plan.
"You mean you want to marry A Yan to the second prince to be the second prince's concubine?"
"Now my son only has a good relationship with the Prince of Cheng'en, so he will have a bright future. If he becomes the second prince's Yue Shan—" After a pause, he said again: "Not to mention Xu Guifei's favor and His Majesty's preference for the second prince. , the achievements of the second prince may not be limited to just a prince."
"You mean—"
The old lady trembled uncontrollably, she was excited, "You mean that there may be a future queen in our family?" In a flash, she asked again, "How can you be so sure that the second prince will definitely like him? Yan? This kind of daughter-in-law is arrogant and unreasonable, but I wouldn't want it for me."
"Don't forget the township behind A Yan."
Yan Ting was too lazy to explain to his mother that the marriage was only for the power and meaning behind it, not for that person. How arrogant, after marrying a woman, you will be honest.
It's the town hall again!
Even though the old lady was very dissatisfied, she had to admit that if the second prince had any expectations for the emperor, it would be even more powerful to have Duke Zhen as a backer.
She was quite unhappy, and said dissatisfiedly: "That little thing never kissed us. You marry her, don't make trouble for yourself."
Yan Ting smiled disdainfully and didn't speak, but the old lady understood the meaning of it, a small inner house woman, married and fell into the hands of her husband's family, no matter how capable and background she is, just like Shen Yiyao, not now Are you staying obediently in Weiyuan Hou's mansion
A woman is different from a man. Once she has children of her own, the toughest person will become weak, because that is her weakness. What's more, Weiyuan Hou's mansion is Yan Yan's family. If she wants someone to support her, she will not destroy the Great Wall. There are also ethical constraints, does she dare to make it clear to her family
Especially that is the second prince, Yan Yan, including Shen Yiyao, must be happy to marry the second prince, this is a great marriage!
Thinking about it like this, the old lady is even a little jealous of Yan Yan's good life!
It's really different from the same person, and any good thing can be spread by that little thing!
"Okay, mother, rest well. I'm going to Jinseyuan. In a few days, His Majesty will hold the autumn hunting meeting. At that time, many princes and ministers will be present, and my son is also on the list. This time, my son is going to bring Take Shen Yiyao and A Yan."
"But the second prince wants to see each other?"
Yan Ting nodded.
"Although that little thing has a bad temper, its appearance is good."
Seeing that Yan Ting was about to leave, the old lady stopped him: "You've spent more money recently, and your family is no longer well-off. It's not that you don't know it."
Yan Ting has spent a lot of daily expenses in recent years. He interacts with people, treats guests for drinks and visits flower buildings, but it is indispensable. There are many friends, although there are advantages, disadvantages are also obvious. At least those who are friends should not be too stingy. If you are stingy, no one wants to be friends with you, and you will lose your dignity.
If Yan Ting's expenses were not too high, Weiyuan Hou's mansion would not be so stretched.
Yan Ting nodded, but did not take this word to heart.
In recent years, his mother has gotten older and older, and her mouth has become more and more long-winded. Every time I see him, I will keep talking about how difficult it is at home, but when Yan Ting has money, it will always be there.
Naturally, he didn't know that the old lady was rushing to the outside world because of his undivided attention.
Thinking about the current situation in the mansion, the old lady also had a headache.
She could only comfort herself with 'When her son becomes the husband of the second prince, she will be afraid of running out of money'. Thinking of Chen's housekeeper's messy management, he was even more upset. However, she was happy to see this situation happen, and when it was really outrageous, she still threw it to Shen Yiyao, and then she must let her catch this mess.
If it was in the past, the old lady had great confidence in coaxing that fool to take over, but now she has no such confidence. But you can't be sure, or you can't hold it.
All night, the old lady tossed and turned, until it was almost dawn, and she fell asleep in a daze.
