Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 74

The repairing of the grave and the removal of the grave are naturally different, but Lord Shen Hou did not explain to Shen Ruyi in detail, because whether it is repairing the grave or moving the grave, it is a man's business, and women cannot interfere.The reason why Mrs. Shen was able to relocate Mrs. Lu's grave was because Mrs. Lu was extinct and only had a daughter like Mrs. Shen.

However, Master Shen gave advice on whether or not the Lu family should treat guests after the grave was moved—naturally, it should be invited, and it should be more grand.The list of guests was decided by Lord Shen. If it wasn't for Lord Shen, Mrs. Shen wouldn't know who to invite.

Of course, that's what Shen Ruyi planned at the beginning.What does moving a grave to run a school have to do with Lord Shen Hou?There is nothing that can be used, why should Lord Shen help?
After the fifth day, and early in the morning of the sixth day, Aunt Wang brought Shen Yunrou and Shen Mingxiu to greet Mrs. Shen.Shen Ruyi smiled and pulled Shen Yunrou to sit down: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go out to play? I just accepted the post from Princess Mingzhu this morning. I want to take you there..."

Shen Yunrou's eyes lit up immediately, and Aunt Wang also looked pleasantly surprised, but she just looked at Mrs. Shen and didn't dare to speak up.

Shen Yunrou didn't have such scruples, she pulled Shen Ruyi and asked repeatedly: "Really? Can you take me there?"

Shen Ruyi nodded with a smile: "Of course I can take you there, but you have to write poems to appreciate plum blossoms. You should think of two better poems about plum blossoms first, so as not to lose face and feel uncomfortable when you turn around. Go All of them are noble girls, if someone...cough, then you can't lose your temper or anything."

It was said that it was hosted by Mingzhu County, but in fact, it was a banquet held by the Eldest Princess to choose a daughter-in-law for Young Master Liu, so I just had a look at these ladies first, so I knew what to expect.This kind of thing should have been invited together with the female relatives, but when there are elders around, it is not easy to see the true character of these ladies.

Shen Yunrou was so happy that he didn't know what to say: "That's really great, sister, you are so kind to me, the eighth day is over, right? Today is the sixth day, and there is still one more day, oops, time is too long It’s tight, I don’t even have time to make new clothes.”

Before Shen Ruyi returned to Beijing, although Shen Yunrou was the only daughter of Lord Shen Hou, but with the temperament of Lord Shen, those who looked down on him were just dust, and she really didn't care much about Shen Yunrou. If it wasn't for Aunt Wang It reminds me all the time that Shen Yunrou may be sincere to the invisible man of the Hou Mansion.

It was also because Shen Houye didn't care much about Shen Yunrou, so Shen Yunrou's dignified Lord Hou's own daughter couldn't even compare to the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the second room.

Mrs. Shen is not in the capital, no matter how capable Aunt Wang is, it is impossible for her to take Shen Yunrou out to a banquet or something.That's why she grew up so big, that is, the old lady would occasionally take her out once or twice, and the number of times she went out in two or three years could be counted with two slaps.

So this time when she heard that Shen Ruyi was willing to take her out, the unexpected joy knocked her out, she was so dizzy that she almost floated.

Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "There's no need to make new clothes. Years ago, didn't mother ask Second Aunt to make new clothes for us? Why, don't you have any?"

Shen Yunrou thought for a while before curling her lips: "Yes, there are, but it's too ugly. If you want to admire the plum blossoms, you should at least wear something elegant. The second aunt sent them all red and purple, which are too gaudy. "

Shen Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't this for the Chinese New Year? Wearing red and purple, it's very festive."

Shen Yunrou's expression seemed to disapprove, but at the moment she knew that Shen Ruyi couldn't offend her, so she didn't open her mouth to refute. She just nodded casually and changed the subject: "Then what jewelry did we bring that day? Elder sister, you can't The same ones as me, shall I bring the jasper set? Or the pink pearl set?"

Seeing that they were happy, Mrs. Shen waved to Aunt Wang to sit down on the embroidered pier in front of her: "You and I will go to the old lady's place to say hello to the old lady. Just now, the second younger brother and sister specially sent someone to tell me that I want you to sit down." Take you there, before I have time to ask, have you offended your second sibling recently?"

Aunt Wang frowned, with a puzzled look on her face: "No, this servant has nothing to do with the second lady."

"That's strange, but you also think about it, but I have a good idea of ​​what I have done recently. If there is nothing wrong, that's good. If there is something wrong, I can say hello to Lord Hou first. You After all, it is the people of our long room, no matter what happens to us in the future, we must first agree with the outside world at this moment."

Mrs. Shen held her belly and said with a smile, Aunt Wang nodded hurriedly.

Shen Ruyi had already inquired about the previous events.Aunt Wang is really smart, this incident has nothing to do with her at all, it was planned by Mrs. Shen Er.The target was of course Mrs. Shen's stomach, but her dirtyness fell on Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang certainly wouldn't sit still, she sat in front of Madam Shen for a while, and seeing that it was almost time to go to Changchun Garden to pay her respects, she hurriedly said, "Speaking of which, I have something to tell Madam."

Madam Shen nodded, signaling for her to speak up.Aunt Wang lowered her voice: "Didn't you say that Hongliu in the third room had a miscarriage earlier? Because the servant listened to the old lady's intentions and wanted to let our elder room bear the responsibility for this fault, the servant was not convinced, so she I want to find out the truth of the matter first, and if they really want to slander Madam, the servants will have something to say."

Mrs. Shen looked surprised: "What did you find out?"

Aunt Wang glanced at Shen Ruyi and Shen Yunrou, and Madam Shen sighed: "Before, Lord Hou meant that he didn't want Ruyi and the others to touch these things at a young age, but I thought, although they are young now, they haven't had it for a few years. We are going to be the masters of our own family, and we should have an understanding of these things in our own house first, so we won’t be blinded and don’t know anything when we turn around.”

Aunt Wang nodded in agreement. Men and women always look at things differently. Men wish their women and daughters are always so innocent, but women are different. The backyard will always be the same. battlefield.Women can be transparent and don't care, but they can't be ignorant, and they can't cover their eyes as if they don't see it.

"That little maid named Qingyu is the son of our family. A few years ago, her family suddenly had a large sum of money. The servant carefully checked along this line, and it was indeed the third lady who did it herself. The one who gave the money was Madam Liao, the companion of the third wife. However, this matter is not over yet. The servant girl originally thought that it was just a fight between the wives and concubines of the third wife, so it shouldn’t involve our eldest wife, right? Just sprinkle some cold water outside the door, or give some cold food, won’t you still be able to hide without anyone noticing it? What good will the third house offend our long house?”

Aunt Wang lowered her voice, and explained her investigation process carefully: "Then the servant girl found out that there is someone behind Madam Liao."

After speaking, he looked at Shen Ruyi again, feeling a little embarrassed and hesitant.

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "Why, this matter has something to do with Ruyi?"

Aunt Wang shook her head quickly, and Mrs. Shen brought a cup of tea to her: "Just say it, we can talk in the room by ourselves, there is nothing we can't say. If you don't make it clear to me, maybe the second brother and sister will also ask for it later." Talk about this."

"Behind Mother Liao, there is Mother Zhao." Aunt Wang finally said it, but Shen Ruyi was still a little confused: "Mom Zhao?"

It was Madam Shen who remembered: "That Nanny Zhao who was Ruyi's nanny back then?"

Aunt Wang nodded hurriedly, and Shen Ruyi curled her lips. There are eight nanny surnamed Zhao in the mansion. She and Nanny Zhao have never met each other. She has no memory of before the age of three. How would she know? What mother Zhao?

"It turned out to be her?" Mrs. Shen was a little surprised: "Why did she get involved? What good does this matter do for her? Besides, with her status... Who in the house doesn't know that Ruyi and I hate her very much?"

Therefore, using Zhao Nanny to frame the elder room is a bit too ignorant, right?
Aunt Wang sighed: "Your servant and Madam talked about this because I was also a little worried. I'm afraid that it would be nothing good if the Second Madam called your servant over here. Madam Zhao, Madam and Eldest Miss don't like it, but... ..."

Aunt Wang's face was a little ashamed: "When the slaves were in charge of the long house, I thought she was also a child of the family, so I treated her more..."

Needless to say, Mrs. Shen also understands that Aunt Wang must have treated this mother Zhao very preferentially.This Zhao mama was unwilling to leave the mansion even when she died, because she had offended Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi. Aunt Wang kept her and thought about the tragic situation of Mrs. Shen and Shen Ruyi from time to time, which could also adjust her mood.Furthermore, she didn't get along with Madam Shen for long, and Madam Zhao knew Madam Shen very well, so she had to keep Madam Zhao even in order to know herself and the enemy.

Of course, Aunt Wang is not stupid. Although she is lenient towards Zhao Mama, important matters are never handed over to Zhao Mama.

"Mother Zhao can't do this alone, can she? Who is she on the tablet that can persuade Mother Liao?" After thinking about it, Mrs. Shen sneered: "There should be someone behind this, right?" ?”

Seeing that Mrs. Shen changed the topic, Aunt Wang hurriedly nodded her head: "Madam is right, I don't believe that Madam Zhao dared to do such a thing alone, so I continued to investigate later, and then found that this Zhao Nanny, some time ago, she walked closer to the second bedroom."

"Who is with the second wife?" Mrs. Shen asked, and Aunt Wang solved the mystery without any hesitation: "It's very close to Chuncao, the eldest maid next to the second wife."

After being silent for a while, Mrs. Shen said, "Do you have any evidence for what you said? If not, then we have slandered the second wife for nothing."
