Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 57

No matter what the old lady said, anyway, Shen Ruyi just said one thing - either return the gift and return to the public house, or each room should pay for the gift by itself.This time her confidence was not given by Marquis Shen, but that every family followed the rules.

It's okay for the old lady to come in secretly, but she can't say it out loud.

Shen Ruyi didn't want to go back and forth with the old lady, so she stood up and saluted with a smile: "Grandma, I have something to do, so I won't accompany you for now. If you are idle and bored and want to be accompanied by the younger generation, why don't you call the second sister?" I came here with my third sister. Although the third aunt is also very filial, but at the end of the year, there are many things in the third uncle's yard. If the third aunt is too busy and accidentally says something to you, wouldn't it disturb your rest? Is it? Grandmother only needs to rest for a year, if the body is not well maintained, this resting time will be delayed again and again. "

Third Mrs. Shen's face turned red, and she opened her mouth to argue, but Shen Ruyi didn't leave her any room: "The third aunt said before that the third brother was too young to move to the front yard, and Mingxiu has lived in the front yard for a long time. , it looks stronger than before. If the second and fourth brothers move there, they will be able to raise them in vain. Why don't they wait for the new year and send them to the front yard? The third aunt went back to discuss with the third uncle What? Our Hou Mansion has not yet separated, and the children still have to be brought up together. If Third Aunt has made a decision, please tell me later."

Third Mrs. Shen couldn't say what she had to say. No matter how powerful she was, the front yard still couldn't intervene.

Shen Ruyi left with a smile, and Mrs. Shen was a little restless: "Old lady, Mingxiang and the others..."

The old lady stretched out her hand and squeezed the space between her eyebrows: "You should discuss it with the third child. They should indeed live in the outer courtyard when they reach their age. However, the two of them are brothers, and they can take care of each other if they live closer."

"Yes, I understand." Third Mrs. Shen laughed hurriedly, then hesitated: "This matter of etiquette..."

"Go back and discuss it with your second sister-in-law." The old lady thought for a while and said, "Your second sister-in-law is the most stable person. See what she means. If it doesn't work, I can't help it."

The old lady's own private treasury is very considerable, but it does not mean that she is willing to use her own money to subsidize her daughter-in-law.

Third Mrs. Shen hurriedly nodded her head, said goodbye to the old lady, went back to her own yard and just entered the room to sit down, when Madam Liao beside her came over: "Madam, this old slave feels that there seems to be something wrong with Hongliu."

"Hongliu?" Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment: "What's the situation?"

"The little maid in the Red Willow courtyard said that the Red Willow hasn't been washed for two months." Madam Liao said hastily, and Mrs. Shen's complexion immediately changed: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, my servant asked the kitchen to make some steamed buns with crab meat, but Hongliu didn't touch any of them." Madam Liao hurriedly said, "Ma'am, we have to think of a way. Hongliu looked honest at first, but during this time, The more you like the third master, if you let her have a child again, she will not be able to ride on your head in the future?"

Third Mrs. Shen's face was a little ferocious, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said: "We can't move, the more she wins the master's favor, the more we can't move, who knows whether her child will be a boy or a girl..."

Nanny Liao was in a hurry: "Ma'am, that's not what you said! Poorly, we don't have a single girl in our third bedroom. If Hongliu gives birth to a girl, it will be the first one in our third bedroom! Can the master not like it? If so After giving birth to a boy, what about the Eldest and Second Young Masters?"

Mrs. Shen frowned: "I already have two sons, even if Hongliu gave birth to a boy, is it possible that the master will have trouble with me because of an aunt? Nanny, you think too much, let's not talk about Hongliu's belly Is it a boy or a girl? I just said that there are many accidents in the [-]th month of pregnancy. If we don’t do anything, then there are other people who can’t see it. It’s just a matter of giving birth safely. ..."

"Oh, my wife, how can you think that way! You calculate the salary of the master, the monthly silver of our third room, and your own dowry, as well as the income from various industries of the third room. Wife, if the second young master marries a wife, if the old lady can live to that time, everything will be easy to handle, as long as the Duke of the Hou Fu pays for it, but if..."

Nanny Liao made a gesture: "Will the Hou's family not be separated by then? The eldest son will account for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% will be divided into the second house. How many of us will fall into the third house? One more person, that's a big deal." It’s not a matter of extra food! Who can’t spend money to start a family? Do we have so much money?”

Mrs. Shen San hesitated a little. The situation of her natal family was so-so, and it could even be said that it was not very good.Not about birth, but about family property.Her father was an upright official who had been an official for decades, and his family only had a courtyard with three entrances, which was still her mother's dowry.

When I married into the Hou's mansion, I brought a dowry, not to mention the second Mrs. Shen, even the unrelated and unreliable Mrs. Shen.Dad is getting old, and there is still a younger brother to support at home. In the future, the younger brother will have to ask for money when he gets married or something?

Why should I use my own money to feed a few lowly people for nothing?Might as well save it for my younger brother to marry.

"Mammy means..." Mrs. Third Shen raised her eyebrows slightly, Liao Nanny stretched out her hand and made a gesture: "No matter what, we can't let Hongliu give birth to this child. This old slave knows that Madam, you are kind, It’s the worst thing to see this kind of thing, don’t worry, there is an old slave here, and I promise to do everything cleanly, so that no one will notice at all.”

Third Mrs. Shen pointed to the Changchun Garden: "Nurse..."

Nanny Liao understood and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, don't say that the old lady is recuperating now and cannot inquire about our affairs here. Even if the old lady finds out, the old slave will not let the old lady suspect Madam. Over there, there are many scapegoats."

What Nanny Liao was referring to was the courtyard where Master Shen San raised his concubines. Besides Hongliu, there were three other concubines there.

But women who prefer their own husbands are mostly jealous. After hearing Madam Liao's words, Mrs. Third Shen lost the last bit of hesitation and nodded vigorously, expressing that this matter will be left to Nanny Liao.

Mother Liao got what Mrs. Shen said, and went out with a smile.After looking around for a while, he tied the handkerchief to the lapel of his clothes, and walked out slowly through the back door of the Hou's mansion, and walked back home in a small alley.

It is said to be a home, but it is actually just two or three rooms.This small alley is behind the Hou's Mansion. There are wealthy families on the left and right of the Hou's Mansion, forming a rich street by itself.The row of small alleys in the back were divided among the subordinates of each government.

There is only such a distance between the families, and the rows of small houses are crowded together.Those who gain face in front of the master may be able to share a small yard with them.Those who don't even have a name in front of the master may have to squeeze into a room with others.

Nanny Liao is Mrs. Shen's third wife's nanny, and she was married into the Hou's Mansion.Ordinarily, even if a nanny with such status could not get a small courtyard, she could still share a small courtyard with other people's family.Those small courtyards are all in the form of courtyard houses, and two or three families can live in them.

But is this small courtyard easy to get?Counting from the housekeeper in the Hou Ye's yard, to the nanny in the old lady's yard, and then the servants around the Hou Ye, and the maids around the old lady, all the servants in the Hou's mansion can ascend to heaven. If there is one who can be a capable person in front of the master, then this yard will have a proper share.

Half a year ago, even if Nanny Liao couldn't get a small courtyard, she made do with half a small courtyard.But since Mrs. Shen came back, the situation has changed.Nanny Song and Nanny Lu are unmarried, and both live in the Hou Mansion.

But Nanny Zhao and Nanny Chen both got married.When you are not on errands, you have to go home.Mrs. Shen can't speak in front of the old lady, but outside, that's the face of the Hou family.Lord Shen Hou personally spoke to vacate a yard for these two families.

The people around Lord Shen Hou couldn't move, and the people in the old lady's yard couldn't move, so it was the turn of Second Madam Shen's nanny and Liao Momo.

Thinking about these things, she walked to the front of her house, and Nanny Liao looked at the three rooms, frowned, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and took out the key to open the door.There are three small houses, but there are six people in her family.It’s not enough to live alone, there are cooking, bathing and storage, and a main room for entertaining guests. How can three rooms be enough?I had no choice but to let the girl live with her parents, crowded close to each other, and the couple had to wait until midnight to whisper a word, and they dared not make too much noise.

Looking at the bed separated by the curtain, the fire in Mammy Liao's heart became more intense.

"Is Nanny Liao there?" Just as she was about to curse, she suddenly heard someone asking in a low voice outside. Nanny Liao's face showed joy, and she rushed out to welcome the person in. She looked around and saw no one on the street. After closing the door, he turned around and asked, "It's not even night yet, why did you come here?"

"I'm a little impatient, and I want to ask you, is the matter settled?" The visitor approached Nanny Liao and asked in a low voice, "We have to hurry up, and it's best to make this incident during the Chinese New Year." Son, if you succeed, we have made a great contribution, and we will be able to speak in front of the master in the future. Don't worry, if you have my day, you must have a day. What I promised you before will definitely not be true. will lose faith."

"Look at what you said, can I not believe you?" Nanny Liao laughed hurriedly, and while she was busy boiling water to make tea, she took out two packs of snacks: "This is what the third lady rewarded me. It’s just made and it’s still hot, so hurry up and try it.”

The visitor opened his mouth to speak, but Nanny Liao waved her hand, sat down on the chair with a snack, and leaned over half of her body: "Don't worry, with me here, how can this matter be done? Besides, I told our wife, as long as our wife nods, the matter is [-]% sure. Don't worry, just wait, we will see the result on the first day of the new year. "
