Chapter 159: Zhaoying leaves Beijing
Sister-in-law Shen did not dare to openly confront her mother-in-law anymore. In the past, under the influence of the old lady in Lu, she began to despise Mrs. Shen. However, after returning to the capital several times, she had to say that her mother-in-law was her mother-in-law. No matter what she did, If you despise her, you must be respectful on your face, otherwise if you slap the label of unfilial piety on her, she will not be able to bear it and will have to carry it around.
As for the old lady, she had nothing to say. Maybe it was because the weather was getting hotter and she no longer had the energy to make trouble.
The house became much calmer for a while. The sixth prince visited Shen Zhaoying a few times, and only met Shen Qiujun once or twice by chance. He just passed by to say hello. Although the sixth prince felt unhappy, he did not I have no choice but to think about what I can do. Next year I can ask the emperor for permission to marry Shen Qiujun.
The two of them got along with each other cautiously, thinking that they kept it secret so that no outsiders would know about it, but they didn't know that the old lady had already seen it.
The old lady had lived a long life, had never seen anything, and was on the outside, so she naturally discovered the little thoughts the Sixth Prince had towards Shen Qiujun.
To be honest, she admired Shen Qiujun in her heart for actually attracting the affection of the sinister and sinister Sixth Prince. And the more such a seemingly awkward and ruthless person, once he was attracted by affection, he would always be stubborn and scary. There is a strong tendency to not give up until the goal is achieved.
Especially for a young man who fell in love at such a young age, it is often unforgettable for him. No matter how he marries and takes concubines in the future, the person who first attracted his heart will be buried deep in his heart for the rest of his life and will never be forgotten. .
The old lady regretted that she should not have had a quarrel with Shen Qiujun when she returned to the capital that day. Although it is unlikely that the emperor will allow two princes and concubines to be born in one family, it may not be impossible to use some tricks. Once it is done, it may not be possible. , the Sixth Prince is the crown prince, so he may come in handy when the wise king seeks great cause in the future.
However, the old lady soon relieved her mind. No matter what would happen to the two of them in the future, as long as the Sixth Prince really fell in love with Shen Qiujun, what Shen Qiujun said and did would definitely affect his heart. And Shen Qiujun had The thing is also an excellent handle. Don't worry about not being able to control her. If you can control her, it is equivalent to half of the control of the Sixth Prince.
The old lady couldn't help but feel proud. Back then, she was so blessed that she gave Shen Qiujun the nickname Fuyu. Now that she has gone through such a thing, she thought she was a waste, but unexpectedly she turned into a useful chess piece like a dead tree encountering spring. .
So the old lady stopped looking for trouble with Shen Qiujun, and even gave advice to the Shen Zhaoying brothers and sisters. Although she still didn't talk to Shen Qiujun, her face was no longer so indifferent and indifferent, and she looked pretty good.
If something is abnormal, it is a monster. Mrs. Shen and her daughter were puzzled. They did not dare to think optimistically. After this short period of time, the old lady suddenly figured it out, but she could not figure out why she changed. I couldn't understand her attitude, so I followed her, and it was not bad to just make do with it.
Cheng Xiumei is still a little troubled. Although she already understands what kind of life is the happiest for herself, she can't guarantee that she will be able to resist the snobbery of outsiders watching people order dishes. Nor can she guarantee that Can resist the temptation of the old lady about power.
She didn't expect to find out that she was pregnant on this day. Needless to say, she was happy. Everyone in Shen's house was also excited. The second wife must also be pregnant. They just didn't mention it because they were afraid of putting pressure on her. Now Seeing that she was finally happy, Mrs. Shen and others were relieved.
While Mrs. Shen was smiling from ear to ear, she pulled Cheng Xiumei to explain the taboos in pregnancy. She also specifically told the big kitchen to allocate a few people to prepare meals for the second young lady. She was worried that she would tire her daughter-in-law by talking too much, so she moved herself Several experienced nuns around him called over, always reminding Cheng Xiumei.
Mrs. Cheng also got the news that day. Not only did she come to the Shen Mansion to congratulate each other, but she also sent several people to serve her daughter. Mrs. Shen didn't care. Anyway, it was all for the good of her grandson.
Mrs. Shen specially called her son and said: "This woman's delivery is like stepping into the gate of hell. Your daughter-in-law has been married into our family for a while. She is pregnant now. She must have been in a depressed mood before. You have to follow her." Otherwise, you will regret it if something unexpected happens."
Shen Zhaoning hurriedly smiled and said: "My son is not a child. His heir has big things. How can he not understand? He will definitely not make her unhappy."
Shen Zhaoning really didn't dare to be careless. It had been nearly a year since he got married, but his wife was still not pregnant. Although outsiders would say that her daughter-in-law's belly was not what she wanted, she was always infertile, which seemed to be due to her own lack of ability. Even when he was pregnant, his face was dull, but now that he was finally pregnant, he was also greatly relieved, "I don't care about the gender for now, just open the belly."
Mrs. Shen added: "Your wife is a sensible person, and you are also mild-tempered. I am not worried that you two will quarrel. The main reason I asked you to come is to tell you: The heir is the most important, so you have to endure it first." In a few days, when your legitimate son is born, whether your wife can control you or she can't control you and let you act wildly, as long as she doesn't go out of line, I won't bother to care about your affairs in the house, but I can't let you live in the house now."
Shen Zhaoning's face turned red and he agreed.
When a wife from a wealthy family is pregnant, she usually puts a girl in the house. It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but he finally decided not to consider this aspect. Firstly, the legitimate son is a big deal and he has to let his wife give birth safely. Secondly, he He and his wife are still newly married, and their relationship is strong, but they really don't want to get involved and cause discord between the couple. Thirdly, he has a lot of errands in the palace and is too lazy to waste his energy. Besides, Cheng Xiumei has a good appearance and knowledge. With such a person, it would be difficult for ordinary people to stand in his eyes.
Mrs. Cheng, mother and daughter, were really worried. More than half a month had passed, and they saw that the Shen family had not mentioned a word about arranging the marriage, and they still greeted them every day. They knew that they wanted to take good care of themselves. I felt relieved that I would never mention the matter again.
Only a fool would act virtuous and take the initiative to arrange a girl for her husband. Cheng Xiumei pretended not to think of this and just raised the baby with peace of mind. The old lady felt sorry for her grandson. After mentioning it once, Mrs. Shen said: "They are still newlyweds, Mi Li It's just a matter of adjusting the oil. We can't arrange for servants now. Let's have a few more sons first and let's talk about it in a few years. It's hard for an elder to interfere in the affairs of their young couple."
After Cheng Xiumei heard about it, her heart dropped even more. As a result, no junior followed the old lady when she went out. In addition, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so the old lady had to hide in Chunhui Courtyard to cool off all day.
On the other hand, Sister-in-law Shen couldn't help but feel jealous and resentful: she was both pregnant, so the difference was huge.
However, thinking that her husband's health was almost recovered, she tried her best to encourage him to leave for his post as soon as possible, so that she could follow him calmly. Now she wanted to escape from the capital and live her happy life.
However, she was worried that her mother-in-law would stay in the capital to frustrate her, so she kept talking secretly in her mind.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Zhaoying proposed to set off, Mrs. Shen said: "You may as well go early so as not to miss the date. However, your wife is pregnant and has young children, so it is not suitable to travel with her. It is better to let them stay in the capital first." Let’s wait a few years before talking about it.”
In fact, Mrs. Shen really wanted to keep Sister-in-law Shen by her side, not to chastise her, but sooner or later the boss would take over the Shen Mansion. However, the boss and his wife were evil-minded and acted sneakily, so Mrs. Shen wanted to stay with her. , teach by words and deeds, don’t just keep your eyes on power.
But then she thought that Sister-in-law Shen definitely didn’t want to stay in the capital, and even if she were to stay, the old lady would not let her get close to her. Besides, her son was alone outside, so she was worried. How could the girls and women have their own family? Wife knows how to love a man.
Furthermore, my son originally had a lot of aunts living with him, but now he goes to work alone. Expecting him to be clean and self-sufficient from then on is basically equivalent to wishful thinking. With a wife by his side, he can restrain himself a little, so as not to ruin his life. body.
So after Mrs. Shen said she wanted to keep someone, she sat back and waited for her daughter-in-law to bargain.
In the end, Sister-in-law Shen had to travel with her husband with only the child in her belly.
Before leaving, Sister Huan was old enough to know some things. She knew that she might not see her parents in a year or two, so she couldn't help but burst into tears.
The two little ones still couldn't understand the pain of separation, and they thought that life would be happier and more comfortable without their parents around. Although a few days later, the two of them suddenly came to their senses and burst into tears, but at this time, their faces On the contrary, I felt a little happy.
Sister-in-law Shen was so angry that she kept calling them two white-eyed wolves in her heart, but she was still reluctant to give up. However, she also understood that even if she stayed, her mother-in-law would not let her get close to the children. It would be better to follow her husband out. , at least the one in my belly can be guaranteed to be completely mine.
The two concubines have been silent since they came to the capital, relying on their mistress to decide everything. Now that they see Sister Shen going to the south, they are secretly happy.
They had also heard about Sister-in-law Shen's methods before, and now that they were in the Shen Mansion, they were still secretly on guard. Now that she was gone, the strings in their hearts were really relaxed.
They are also young ladies from good families. They could have married into a well-off family and become wives. But now they have no choice but to become concubines for the sake of their family's wealth. They know very well that they will never get ahead in this life, and they only want to give birth to a boy and a girl for the rest of their lives. Reliable.
For them, it is better to stay in the capital. As long as they have children in hand, Mrs. Shen, as the head mother of the house, will not have trouble with her son's concubine. The monthly salary is naturally quite a lot, and she is not a serious daughter-in-law. There is no need to set rules, just raise the baby in your own courtyard, and tease the baby in the future, life will not be difficult.
From then on, the two boys studied in the outer courtyard, learned calligraphy and practiced martial arts. Sister Huan had a teacher to teach her how to read and behave. When they were free, they had sex with Cheng Xiumei and Shen Qiujun in front of Mrs. Shen. It seemed that the old lady was lonely, so Shen Qiujun The lady ordered Cai Gao and her two aunts to move to Chunhui Courtyard to accompany the old lady.
