Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 13

Questions and answers in the school made the relationship between Liu Niang and Shi Niang more intimate. Because of the same goal, for the sake of the family and the future, Liu Niang took care of Shi Niang more on weekdays, and Shi Niang also respected the sixth sister more. .

At first, Mrs. Chen wondered how Shi Niang, who had always had a good relationship with Ba Niang, changed her sex and followed Liu Niang. She was still wondering if the second wife wanted to win over herself in order to take charge of the family.

Before I got married, my father and brother in my family had said that the next generation of the Du family would send their daughters to the palace, and that my stepdaughter was very likely to run for election, so I told her to teach her stepdaughter well.If you get along well, you can't say that you will be the nobleman of your own children in the future.The Chen family was taught by her mother, so she naturally understood the intentions of the elders in the family, so before marrying into Du's house, she had already made plans to get along with her stepdaughter.

She was not in a hurry to win over the fourth master and take back the management rights of the backyard, but planned to establish a foothold in Du's mansion from the beginning with Shi Niang.But after getting married, I found that the situation was much better than I expected. The concubine and the concubine were punished for some reason, and they were temporarily unable to make things difficult for him; Yes, the matter of teaching was successfully taken over from the old lady.After the servant girl inquired quietly, she found out that behind the concubine's punishment was the stepdaughter's plan. Whether it was for herself or for the favor of the stepmother, she took it all.

After getting along slowly, I realized that even because of my stepdaughter's protection of me, the old lady occasionally mentioned something to me, and the fourth master also felt grateful for me, and the management of the backyard was logically taken over from Shi Li.She even used the last incident to make Shi Li ask for trouble, making Shiniang more convinced of herself.

Therefore, for this stepdaughter, Chen also really likes her somewhat.A few days ago, the second room joined hands with the third room to suppress the first room, and the second room has the intention of wooing him recently. The third wife has been in office with the third master, and this time she will stop because of Qiniang's marriage. After Qiniang got married, the third room The wife must return to the third master's side, and will not operate in the mansion for a long time, and the fourth bedroom is the primary target of the second bedroom.

Now it's hard to get closer to her stepdaughter, Chen doesn't want to hinder her stepdaughter's respect for her because of other things, so she is on guard against the second wife.After the maid who inquired about the news came back, Chen was relieved.

Immediately afterwards, I had to admire Shi Niang's intelligence and courage. As a stepdaughter, she really saw the situation clearly. Based on their teachings, she figured out what it means to be a family member, and seized the right time to show her loyalty, which made the family and Liu Niang feel more at ease with her.I have to say that she is really a good seedling, she really is a wonderful person!

After Mrs. Chen figured out the key point, she threw away her hands and stopped asking about Shi Niang's affairs in the school. Her stepdaughter is a smart girl who can judge the situation clearly. She just needs to ensure that the backyard is relatively clean and does not let Mrs. Li The whole layout is fine if it is broken.In fact, Mrs. Chen was a little curious about what the rules of the old lady of the Du family were.As for the old lady of the Du family who was curious by Mrs. Chen, she was naturally happy to see Liu Niang and Shi Niang get along well.As for the question of who will assist whom, there is no rush to settle it.

Shi Niang didn't know about the concern of the elders, but felt that Mr. Xin was a strange woman with a deep chest. She often asked teachers after class and improved a lot.Because the husband is very knowledgeable, the sisters have a good relationship with the new teacher for a while.

Shi Niang's life is orderly and fulfilling these days. She has finished learning Wuqinxi, and Yugui started to teach her simple medicine. The husband's lecture on the way of checks and balances in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is interesting and practical, and Shi Niang doesn't feel tired at all.But Mrs. Chen insisted that Ten Niang should combine work and rest, so Mr. Fan Xiumu stopped her medical class and asked her to take this opportunity to relax.

Therefore, during this day, my husband took a rest, and ten niangs also had half a day's leisure, drinking tea and reading scripts on the imperial concubine's couch.When I was fascinated by reading the book, I heard Baoqin's voice calling Yugui.When Shi Niang looked up, Baoqin had already opened the curtain to let Yugui into the house, and Shi Niang hurriedly stood up to greet her.Shi Niang has always respected the big maids around Chen Shi, and she will not neglect Yugui, a teacher who teaches medical skills.The waiter didn't need Shi Niang's orders to prepare tea and refreshments.

"Why did my sister come here? Please ask my sister to come and ask a little maid to tell me a message. I will go to my sister. My sister is coming here in person. Is it because my mother has something to tell Shi Niang? Look at me, take care of me." I was talking to my sister, but I forgot to invite my sister to sit down and have a cup of tea to rest. Sister, please sit down, I heard that my sister likes to eat rose water, you can try my rose water. Lu Sheng served Yugui in a transparent glass bowl.

Yugui first thanked Ten Niang for her kindness, then sat on the stool halfway forward and drank a cup of rose dew, wiped off the red stains on the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then praised: "Miss Ten's dew is well done!" It's becoming more and more mellow, and the servants feel ashamed, it's really 'teaching apprentices, starving masters'."

Since Yugui taught Shi Niang, her relationship with Shi Niang is unusual, and she joked about Shi Niang while talking.This is what Yugui can say, if Lianqiao and other four maids of the fourth wife are replaced, these words must never be said.Shiniang laughed at Yugui's statement, "Master, don't make fun of others, I'm only good at eating with this idea, and I will be Amitabha if I don't embarrass you old man."

Yugui begged for mercy with a smile, "My tenth lady, I won't come to teach you until tomorrow, servant girl, thank you for your hospitality. The madam called me here to tell the miss that the old lady's birthday is on the 25th. The female relatives of the family will come to the mansion to pay their respects to the birthday, and the lady's aunt will also come, so please prepare a small gift for the uncle, wife and other elders at that time, so as not to be rude in front of others."

When Chen returned home, due to the rush of time, she did not bring Shi Niang back to her natal family. Speaking of which, this was the first time Shi Niang wanted to see Chen's natal family.Since the Chen family married into the Du Mansion and the old lady celebrates her birthday, someone from the Chen family will definitely come. When the time comes, the ten niangs will all visit the Chen family's aunt, but I don't know which lady from the Chen family will come this time.Speaking of Mrs. Chen, Shi Niang thought of her aunt, Mrs. Lu.

Because of his mother's death, the Lu family has always complained to his father and the Du family, and because of himself, they still maintain a superficial relationship.During the New Year's Eve, they would also send people to give New Year's gifts, but since they kept their filial piety all the year round in Nanshan, the Lu family no longer appeared in various banquets held by the Du family.My father married a new wife this year, and I don't know if the Lu family's aunts will appear on the old lady's 55th birthday this year.In any case, after all, they are close relatives. Because of Yugui and Chen's reminder, Shi Niang decided to prepare a piece of embroidery for her aunts when preparing embroidery for the Chen family's aunts.

"Shi Niang thanked my mother for the reminder. People often hear that the uncles of the Chen family are brave and good at fighting. I don't want to see them in a few days. Shi Niang will prepare a meeting gift for my aunt, please rest assured." Shi Niang said Yugui promised.

"Since that's the case, the maidservant will go back to answer the lady. It's been a while since she came out, so it's time to say goodbye." Yugui saw that Shiniang was confident, so she stopped staying and prepared to go back home.Ten Niang hurriedly got up to see them off, and Yugui hurriedly said, "Miss, please stop and let Fuqi take me off."

When Shi Niang heard what Yugui said, she didn't insist anymore, and asked Baoqin to play chess to give it to her. The servant book had already handed Baoqin the wrapped rose dew.Baoqin understands, and follows Fuqi to send Yugui off.

As soon as Shi Niang ordered Madam Wan to open a small warehouse to look for materials with her servant book, Baoqin came back. Seeing her coming back alone, Shi Niang couldn't help asking, "Didn't Fuqi come with you? Why did you come back alone first?" gone."

"Returning to Miss, Sister Yugui explained the preferences of several uncles and maidservants to the maidservants. First, the slaveservants came back to inform the lady, so that the lady would not be worried. Sister Fuqi was dragged by Sister Yugui to the wife's yard to get materials. Sister Yugui said This is what Madam purposely explained. Madam did not allow Miss to use the things left by her late wife, which were used as a dowry for Miss. She also said that she should have paid for the material for Uncle and Madam, and I was afraid that you would not want it directly, so I confessed it in private Sister Yugui took Sister Fuqi to pick it up. Miss, do you see?"

Baoqin returned clearly.After Shi Niang heard this, she waved her hand and let her go down.Madam Wan happened to come out with a few brocades in her arms, and saw that Shi Niang was silent, so she sent her servant and went up to talk to Shi Niang.

"Miss, you told me that the old slave opened the storeroom with his servant books and found the fine brocade left by his wife. Look, what do we use to make embroidery for my uncle and wife?" Mammy Wan didn't say a word about Chen. Regarding the matter of Mrs. sending materials, and things that the lady doesn't want to mention, just pretend that you don't know.This old man who has served Mrs. Lu all his life gained the trust of Mrs. Lu and Shiniang because of his caring.

"Nurse, I know she can't be said to be useless to me, but she really thinks about me, and I serve her cautiously in recognition of her affection. But she always makes me feel shallow inadvertently, and treats me as a villain. Heart of a gentleman. For example, this time, I thought she made a special mention of me, letting me make her look good in front of her family. You can listen to Baoqin's words, she doesn't care if I can do it for her. She has a good face in front of her natal family, otherwise she wouldn't use her dowry materials for me, and she wouldn't be afraid that her natal sister-in-law would laugh at her stupidly."

"She is telling me that she is going to do something, and she wants to keep me away from those disputes. However, that is the shop my mother left me, and it is the enmity between my mother and Li Shi. Why should she decide for me? Why don't you let me intervene? Momo, you said she is always so calm and calm, why do you hate her so much?" Shi Niang said to Momo Wan with tears.

"Miss, don't be in trouble. Mama asks you to be fair. If you are wrong, please forgive me. The new wife has more means than the previous wife. A Li family, your mother, who was born and died, died of depression. But it is this Mrs. Li who can't please her at all in the hands of the new wife. Although the master doesn't dote on the new wife very much, he also discusses things with her when things happen, something that the first wife can't do."

"Even Mrs. Lu bought it for us because she came into the master's sight again. We really have to accept her love. After she entered the mansion, you have indeed lived a lot more comfortably. This is everyone The grandeur and life that Miss Yizu should have, you lived a poor life before, and you have to be careful in everything, and now it's hard work. Don't think too much, even if Madam uses you, that's something to consider in the future. Now you should stabilize Live your comfortable life with peace of mind. You don't have to think that accepting the new lady is sorry for the lady. The lady is also looking forward to your safety in heaven. Now that the new lady is planning to make a move, she must have a perfect plan. You just listen to her and don't interfere. , if there is really something she can't do, wouldn't you get the best of both worlds if you help in the dark?"
