The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 458
After Shi Nai sent Taoist Zhang away, his excitement still did not subside, and now he wanted to find someone to share his happiness with.

So he came to the back house three steps at a time, saw his wife Mrs. Zhang, stepped forward to grab her hand, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this scene, the maid next to her thought that Shi Nai wanted to whisper something to Mrs. Zhang.So they all walked out with a smile on their faces.

Seeing Shi Nai's hair like this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but blushed. Over the years, with his aging and fading, Shi Nai no longer treats himself like before.what is it today?As soon as he came, he grabbed his hand and didn't let go.

When Shi Nai saw the maids retreating, it was exactly what he wanted.So he pulled Mrs. Zhang to the bedside and said, "Today, I followed your instructions and completed that matter."

Mrs. Zhang was a little puzzled at first, and then immediately realized that it was the matter of Shi Xiangyun's marriage that she had discussed with Shi Nai.

If you want to say who in this mansion hates Shi Xiangyun the most, it's probably Mrs. Zhang.

As a man, Shi Nai seldom pays attention to the affairs of the back house, so he doesn't have much contact with Shi Xiangyun. In his impression, Shi Xiangyun, although he has a weird personality, is his own niece after all.

But Mrs. Zhang is different. She has to meet Shi Xiangyun every day, and she knows Shi Xiangyun's weird temper well, so she insists on marrying Shi Xiangyun.

But for the sake of my family, I still put forward many harsh conditions, hoping to have the best of both worlds. If it is really not possible, it will be Amitabha if one can be achieved.

Mrs. Zhang did not expect that Shi Nai would be able to fulfill the conditions she proposed.How could this make her unhappy?

"Which family is it?"

"It's our aunt's family, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion." Shi Nai said with some pride, after all they are a big family, only Jia Ke has the highest official position now.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and thought for a while, then said pleasantly, "Could it be, Jia Ke, the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department?"

"Exactly."

"It would be great if it was him? But isn't your elder nephew already married? How can he marry our family Xiangyun again?" Mrs. Zhang said a little puzzled.

Shi Nai didn't know how to explain it to him, so he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Xiang Yun was not married to the first wife, but just a second wife."

What he said is good, but the bad thing is that Shi Xiangyun can only be a concubine after marrying.

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhang felt a little anxious, "How can this be possible? In this way, people in the world will say that we have treated her badly and traded her for our family's power."

Shi Nai's face turned dark when she heard her say that, "People in the world want to talk, so let them talk. It's not like you don't know what's going on in our family now. If you didn't know how to manage things, we might even I can’t even eat. Apart from this brand of Houfu, what else is left?”

Mrs. Zhang also sighed, all these years of painstaking efforts were just trying to maintain the family.

This is also because Shi Nai is reasonable, he didn't cling to the brand of Hou Mansion to live, but wanted to do what he can, if it is to save face, their family might not be able to eat now.

Shi Nai saw that Mrs. Zhang was a little shaken, and continued: "Besides, marrying the eldest brother of Rongguo Mansion is not a wrong to our family, Xiangyun. The eldest brother of Rongguo Mansion is now Marquis Wuyang. Speaking of which, our family Xiangyun's father is just a white man, and being able to marry him as a concubine is considered a high priority."

Mrs. Zhang also convinced herself slowly, and felt more and more that this was a good marriage. If she climbed up to Jia Ke, the master of her family would probably be able to get an official position, and the family situation would be better by then. .

Moreover, when Mrs. Zhang often gathers with other officials' wives, she hears those wives talking about how much their husbands give to each other every year, and how many people rush to give them gifts every day. The side listened enviously, and she was also looking forward to the day when their Bowling Marquis Mansion could be so prosperous.

The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. When she married into the Bowling Marquis's Mansion, she only felt that from now on she would enjoy endless prosperity and wealth.As a result, things backfired, and now her life is worse than in her natal family.

If the marriage is completed this time, she can be regarded as turning over.

So Mrs. Zhang nodded and said to Shi Nai: "Since that's the case, you will go to Rongguo Mansion in a few days. Firstly, you come to visit your aunt, and secondly, you come back with a document to make sure this matter is dead." .”

Shi Nai nodded in agreement, and told Mrs. Zhang that he would go to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow, and he would definitely settle this matter.

The two of them were talking about Shi Xiangyun's marriage here, but it might as well be someone under the window listening to the corner.

This person is Yao Yinfeng, the wife's personal servant girl. Her mother used to serve Shi Xiangyun's father in the room, so she was very concerned about Shi Xiangyun in the past. Now their family still thinks that Shi Xiangyun is their serious master.

She was originally serving his wife outside the house, but suddenly she seemed to hear Shi Xiangyun's name inside, so she secretly lay down in front of the window, wanting to hear what was going on inside?

In the end, she only heard half of it, and she gritted her teeth angrily, but she couldn't decide this matter, so she could only go to the backyard and report to Shi Xiangyun.

Yao Yinfeng explained a few words to the little maids who were working together, then left the front yard and walked towards the small courtyard where Shi Xiangyun lived.

Yao Yinfeng came all the way to a remote small courtyard in the backyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Shi Xiangyun's maid, Cui Li, sitting at the door, doing needlework.

Now in Bowling Marquis Mansion, every girl can't be idle.There are endless things to do every day, and those who serve the wife like them are not bad.Shi Xiangyun and her maid, but there is no time to be idle for a moment.

Some of these needlework are for my own family, and some are sent to the homes of various dignitaries. If you say that the reputation of the Bowling Marquis Mansion is not very good now, they are now regarded as needlework workshops, but because of the high status of these people in their family , so those dignitaries also love to use their family's things, after all, it's nice to say it, and it's impossible to keep the things made by the daughter of the Marquis Mansion.

Yao Yinfeng took a few steps forward, when Cui Ling looked up and saw someone, she was startled at first, but finally saw that it was Yao Yinfeng, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter with you, you're not afraid of heat stroke even if you're doing needlework on a hot day?" Yao Yinfeng asked a little puzzled.

Cui Hui stood up, took a look inside, and said: "Our girl did needlework last night until the third watch, and this morning she did it all morning, and fell asleep unconsciously just now. I didn't wake her up. She sleeps in there for a while, and I watch for her outside."

Yao Yinfeng's eyes turned red when she heard these words. How could outsiders think of the majestic Miss Marquis, who has to do needlework until the third watch, so tired that she can only sleep secretly.

While they were talking, hearty laughter came from inside, "Who is here? Why don't you change me, today's needlework will be delayed."

Yao Yinfeng said with tears in his eyes, "Miss is me, Yinfeng."

After Yao Yinfeng said this, he entered the door on his own.When I came in, I saw that Shi Xiangyun was lazily lying on the bed, with a sewing cage next to him, and a pile of patterns on the table, which seemed to be half done.And on Shi Xiangyun's bed was a pair of shoes, which looked like men's.

Yao Yinfeng's eyes rolled around those shoes a few times, and she immediately understood, who are these for?As far as Xiangyun and the others are concerned, although they are doing needlework for others, they have never done men's work except for their relatives.Now he actually stays up late to make shoes for a man, the reason is self-evident.

Seeing her coming, Shi Xiangyun beckoned her to sit by the bed.He also got up from the bed, leaned on the quilt and asked, "You are not waiting in front, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Yao Yinfeng heard Shi Xiangyun asked her, she immediately thought of Shi Xiangyun's fate. The tears that were in the circles of her eyes, but now she couldn't bear it anymore, rolled out immediately.

Seeing her appearance, Shi Xiangyun knew that what she brought was not good news, but Shi Xiangyun has always been open-minded. Although he is not living well now and has complaints, he has not given up hope.

"Sister Yinfeng, what's the matter with you? You can just say what you have to say. At my stage, there's nothing else you can't say." Shi Xiangyun instead began to persuade Yao Yinfeng to get up.

Only then did Yao Yinfeng hold back his crying, and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Miss, Master Hou has arranged a marriage for you, I just heard it from under the window."

Shi Xiangyun blushed immediately when she heard this, no matter how carefree she was, there was no girl who could not be shy when she heard this.

"Which family did you choose? Could it be that the family affairs are not so good, which made you unhappy?" Shi Xiangyun said with some melancholy, the shyness just now was gone, and his eyes were full of sadness.

If Xiangyun really has such a person in his heart now, but seeing that person is already engaged, so he can only pay attention to it silently in his heart. Now that he wants to have a family, it seems that he has no destiny in this life. .

Yao Yinfeng had a sad face, "Miss, this family's family affairs are top of each other in the capital. There are only one or two that can compare with his family."

Shi Xiangyun asked strangely: "If that's the case, what's wrong?"

At the same time, Shi Xiangyun also felt strange that this uncle of hers was so kind and able to spend so much effort to find such a powerful family for her.

Yao Yinfeng couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears immediately, "Miss, why is your life so hard? Although they told you that you are rich, they let you be a concubine. How can this be an uncle, It is clearly the enemy."

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he also froze there, unable to move.She originally thought that no matter how poor the marriage her uncle had arranged for her, she would be just a family with a small official position, but she never thought that she would be a concubine.

Shi Xiangyun stabilized his mind temporarily, and then said tremblingly: "Which one did they book for me, it has such a prestige that they want to let the lady of the Hou's mansion be a concubine."
