As soon as Sister-in-law Shen and the girls entered the yard, they saw their daughter, Sister Huan, tiptoeing out.

Sister Huan also saw her mother at this time. She stood there with her hands tied, but her eyes were looking at her mother eagerly.

Sister-in-law Shen glared at her and said, "If you don't stay with your ancestors, why are you sneaking out?"

Sister Huan pouted and said: "Tiantian looks like a Buddha, with an incomprehensible look on his face. It's suffocating. I'd rather do embroidery."

Still doing embroidery? I haven’t seen my daughter do needlework for more than half a year. But after all, my daughter is only nine years old. She is accompanied by an old man and has no peers. It is normal for her to feel bored and panicked. Besides, the old lady is also deliberately trying to temper her temper.

Let her be steady and tenacious.

Sister-in-law Shen poked her daughter on the forehead with her finger and scolded her lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our ancestors have a lot of troubles in their hearts. If you can learn a little bit, it will be enough for you in your life."

Sister Huan hummed: "Then let my brother and the others learn!"

Seeing her mother gouging her out with her eyes again, Sister Huan said with a smile: "I didn't sneak out, but my ancestor is dozing off. I want to take advantage of this time to go back and write a few words."

Sister-in-law Shen didn't believe that her daughter was so eager to learn. Seeing this, Sister Huan looked at her mother pleadingly. Seeing that her mother's expression was relaxed, she hurriedly ran out.

Sister-in-law Shen couldn't help but shake her head when she saw the scene. She quietly walked to the door and asked the girl holding the curtain: "When did the old lady rest? Is it time to get up soon?"

Before the little girl could answer, she saw the curtain was opened from the inside, and a girl with extraordinary bearing came out, saluted and said: "The old lady invites the young lady to come in to talk."

Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly held the jade plate and walked into the house with a smile. She saw an old lady with kind eyes and silver hair sitting gracefully on the bed.

Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly rushed forward to salute and said with a smile: "I just heard from Sister Huan that my grandmother was taking a break. I thought you would not be free at this time."

The old lady smiled and said: "You two are mumbling outside, wondering how I can sleep, so I have to send you away and rest. What do you want to see me for now?"

Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly presented the jade plate to the old lady and said with a smile: "There is a letter from Jingli. Thinking that grandma has always been thinking about Jingli, my granddaughter-in-law hurriedly sent it over."

While he was talking, a girl had already stepped forward to take the jade plate. She walked to the old lady and knelt on the ground, holding it right in front of the old lady's eyes.

The old lady stretched out her hand to take it, and sighed: "When a son travels a thousand miles, his mother worries, but when his mother travels a thousand miles, he doesn't worry!"

Sister-in-law Shen smiled and comforted her: "Who knows that my father is a filial son? It is difficult to raise an unfilial son with a mother like my grandmother."

After hearing this, the old lady looked at Mrs. Shen and smiled lightly. Then she squinted her eyes and read the letter.

Sister-in-law Shen quickly lowered her head, her words just now were a bit too flattering.

After a long time, the old lady put the letter on the plate, sneered, and said to Sister-in-law Shen: "You should also take a look and see what your mother-in-law did."

Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly took the letter. After reading it briefly, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "I wrote a letter some time ago. It said that I was planning to get married next year. I changed it anyway. Now I only have half a month left.

No matter what, we can't catch up."

The old lady's face had returned to calm at this time. She sat there and smiled lightly and said: "That's not what your mother-in-law had in mind."

Sister-in-law Shen couldn't help but look at the old lady in surprise: Happy events are naturally crowded and lively, and relatives can also take the opportunity to reunite. Why does the mother-in-law do the opposite?

The old lady turned the beads in her hand, with neither happiness nor sadness on her face. She said slowly: "After all, your mother-in-law comes from a declining family, and her ambition is just a little bit in the backyard. She is too arrogant to do something for a small family."

Sister-in-law Shen didn't dare to speak. After all, she was her mother-in-law. Grandma could speak, but she didn't dare to say that it was right or wrong. She could only use her ears to analyze things to her grandmother.

I'm impressed by how he always gets to the point.

The old lady continued: "She is not confident and is afraid that the second daughter-in-law will get close to me after seeing me, so she wants to take advantage of it. We are not sure when. She will just use this time to improve the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Naturally it will be fine.”

After hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen couldn't help but secretly joke to her mother-in-law: The more she lived, the more she returned home. She acted like a child. She came up with an idea as soon as it came out. Just for the selfish sake of such an idea, she said she would advance it earlier. The time was running out.

It's a shame that my sister-in-law is such an honest person, otherwise how could she be willing?

Sister-in-law Shen thought for a while and then said: "The second brother's marriage is a big happy event for our Shen family. Besides, our Shen family has not held a happy event for a long time. My grandson's daughter-in-law will go to the warehouse to choose gifts. She will get the best ones."

It also made her feel her grandmother’s deep blessing for her.”

The old lady was very satisfied with Sister-in-law Shen's behavior, but she said: "It doesn't have to be like this, just follow the routine and don't be too conspicuous. I will fulfill your mother-in-law's wishful thinking and let her sell her family well in front of the new couple.

People who don't live well will know how to form cliques. The Shen family has really shrunk in her hands. You must not be like that in the future. It's fine as it is now."

Sister-in-law Shen said hurriedly and respectfully: "My granddaughter-in-law is so virtuous and capable. I hope my grandmother will pay more attention to her and give her some advice."

The old lady nodded, closed her eyes, and slowly started turning the counting beads in her hand.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly quietly left to deal with the matter.

Hearing Sister Shen's departure, the old lady opened her eyes again and said to herself: "Relationships are not something you just want to have, especially the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They are natural enemies. I will let you take the first step. I hope you will

Don’t feel too uncomfortable then.”

After that, looking at the jade ring on her hand, the old lady added: "The pursuit of power is not only a man's patent, it is also full of fatal temptations for women. After seeing the taste of power, women become even more

It cannot resist the desire for power, and feelings are not worth mentioning in front of it."

The happy day for the Shen family finally came, and the house was naturally full of guests. As expected, the people from Lu didn't come, and even the gifts couldn't be delivered in time. Seeing that everything went as she wished, Mrs. Shen was quite proud.

Shen Lijun also took Mrs. Wen back to her parents' house for a wedding banquet.

Although Mrs. Wen was a merchant girl, she didn't expect that just a few months after entering the palace, she had completely lost her family spirit. She was respectful to Shen Lijun, and Shen Lijun was also kind to her. It was a warm picture of a wife and concubine.

, and one is bright and luxurious, and the other is delicate and respectful. Outsiders also find it quite pleasing to the eye. Because it is the inner courtyard, men are not allowed to enter. Otherwise, if they see it, they will envy the wise king for his good family management and the enjoyment of everyone.

What a blessing.

Shen Qiujun was not surprised when he saw it. The Wen family was a businessman. Although they were from a low background, they were able to achieve what they are today, so they certainly had their own merits.

His family voted for the Xianwang in order to improve their family status in the future, and hopefully have a prince and nephew in the future. As for their daughter's title, as far as they are concerned, they don't dare to have any big thoughts.

Wen is also a smart and discerning person, but her appearance is just average. For the sake of her virtuous reputation, Shen Lijun is naturally happy to have such a docile and unobtrusive person as her foil.

Shen Lijun was very satisfied when she saw everyone's admiring and envious expressions. She brought Wen here today just to show the Shen family that although she had taken a concubine for the wise king, everything was under her control.

There were also some respectable concubines who accompanied the mistress to the guests. When the banquet started, they sat in a remote place. Mrs. Wen originally planned to serve Shen Lijun for dinner. Shen Lijun smiled and said: "It's rare to come out once. You don’t need to set any rules here, just relax and go ahead.”

Mrs. Wen then left and came to the place where the concubines and waiters were dining. Those concubines and waiters already knew each other, and they had been sitting together for some time, so naturally they all knew each other. At this time, Mrs. Wen came over. , they all observed quietly, but felt a little disappointed in their hearts. Wen was really too ordinary.

Such a person can be regarded as a concubine of Prince Xian, which can be regarded as a person of great fortune. Not to mention that Prince Xian is young, handsome, and has a high position, but everyone secretly understands that he will definitely be able to ascend to the great treasure in the future. With these years of love, I will be able to be granted the position of a concubine and be reborn as a princess or prince. I will be more and more blessed. Even the ordinary wives have to bow their heads. They are also concubines, but there is a huge difference. .

Some people were unwilling to give in, so they talked a few words, became more friendly with Mrs. Wen, and said: "I have no personal wealth, but you are the legitimate daughter of the family, so you must have a generous dowry. You have been married into the prince's palace for several months now." Yes, I think it must be Princess Xian who is keeping it. She has always been kind, so I think it won’t be too difficult for you."

After hearing this, everyone became interested. They were all concubines, so naturally the situation was similar. Even if the little money in their hands was not taken away by the "virtuous" mistress, they must have been treated harshly and had to Slowly take it out and mix it up. Since you are like this, you naturally want others to be like this, so that everyone can feel more balanced.

But they were destined to be disappointed, because Mrs. Wen said with a smile: "Three days after I entered the house, I was going to give all the dowry to the princess, but she said: You are different from others, you are a decent daughter of a good family, and As a legitimate daughter, she is no better than those brought up by family members, so she can naturally hold the dowry in her own hands."

When those people heard this, they were envious and jealous, and they praised: "It's lucky for my sister to meet such a virtuous mistress. If she gets a brother in the future, she might also be a concubine appointed by the imperial court."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wen said seriously: "We only have to do our duty, and the master and mistress will not treat us badly. As for the side concubine or not, I don't dare to have such intentions. Everything is decided by the prince and the princess." "

Naturally, these words spread out not long after, and the men outside admired the virtuous prince for his good manners in handling his wives and concubines, and all his wives and concubines were virtuous.

After hearing this, the lady inside couldn't help but secretly sigh: Why didn't she have such a sensible and talkative person in front of her? She was pretty good to those concubines, but why didn't that little wife not know how to make a name for herself?
