Chapter 80

"If I remember correctly, isn't that sister of yours a concubine? Why did you bring her here?" Liu Mingzhu took the time to come to Shen Ruyi's side, pinching a piece of snacks to fill her stomach, while curling her lips and glanced at Shen Yunrou, Turning his head to ask Shen Ruyi: "Or do you have to bring people?"

"I'm the one who brought her here." Shen Ruyi smiled and took a sip from her teacup, then reached out and pinched Liu Mingzhu's tender cheeks: "If you don't like her, you don't have to talk to her, anyway, I My sister is also pretty, so I can find friends to chat with."

The reason why she brought Shen Yunrou here is of course for a reason. However, these things are all things in the back house of the Hou Mansion, and have little to do with Liu Mingzhu. Even if she and Liu Mingzhu have a good relationship now, the truth cannot be covered up. Yes, she and Liu Mingzhu, this is only the second meeting.Those things in the Hou's mansion can be regarded as a family scandal, so naturally she couldn't tell Liu Mingzhu.

Liu Mingzhu really didn't like concubines and concubines. Seeing Shen Ruyi sitting alone, she was a little puzzled: "Why don't you talk to them? A few of them are still very good. That Miss Ning is very talented and a real Talented girl, have you seen it? May I introduce you?"

Shen Ruyi hurriedly waved her hand: "Please forgive me, it's okay if you want me to read books, I really can't write poems and lyrics."

Shen Ruyi doesn't like to read books like poems and poems. She only likes to read gossip and travel notes in her life. For her, writing poems and lyrics is really not an easy task.Ask her to write a post-reading review for a travel book, and that's easy.

Seeing Shen Ruyi's refusal, Liu Mingzhu didn't force her anymore, and just said with a smile: "I told you before that I don't know how to write poems and lyrics, so let's kick the shuttlecock? I heard you say a lot about kicking the shuttlecock last time." The method of shuttlecock, I learned it before I came back, it’s very interesting, shall we play shuttlecock?”

"You are the host right now, can you throw all the guests here and go kick the shuttlecock by yourself? At least think of a way so that everyone can participate." Shen Ruyi was a little funny, how could it be held like this? Banquet, obviously this banquet is to borrow the name of Princess Mingzhu.

"But I don't know what to ask them to do." Liu Mingzhu sighed. The noble ladies in the capital gathered together, six out of ten, to recite poems and paint pictures. It happened that she didn't like it, so naturally she didn't want to do such an event. .

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Shen Ruyi was about to speak, when she heard Shen Yunrou beside her asking with a smile, and when she turned her head, she saw Shen Yunrou standing beside the two girls, meeting Liu Mingzhu's gaze, Shen Yunrou was busy Salute: "Princess Pearl."

"We are talking, we want to play some kind of game, so that everyone can participate in the game together, otherwise, sitting like this is quite boring." Shen Ruyi said nonchalantly, Shen Yunrou tilted her head and thought for a while, then clapped her hands: "Putting the pot Ah, or shooting, hiding hooks, guessing riddles, or playing leaf cards."

Shen Ruyi turned her head to look at Liu Mingzhu, Liu Mingzhu immediately chose one, and asked someone to bring things over, ready to play shooting.Shen Yunrou took the opportunity to sit beside Shen Ruyi: "Sister, I heard that there is also a banquet ahead?"

Shen Ruyi glanced at her: "What are you going to do? I can tell you, if something goes wrong with you, I will send you back immediately, and I will never take you out again next time. You are a lady, no matter what. Like those skinless and shameless bastards!"

Shen Yunrou's face flushed immediately: "Sister, what are you talking about, I don't intend to do such a thing!"

Shen Ruyi stared at her, making Shen Yunrou a little ashamed and annoyed, so Shen Ruyi nodded casually, holding a teacup and lowering her voice: "Be more polite, although you are only a concubine, you are also Lord Hou's own daughter. Your status is not low, in the future your marriage will be decided by our father, there is no need for you to lower your status."

"Big sister! I told you I didn't!" Shen Yunrou also lowered her voice, annoyed, Shen Ruyi smiled: "If you behaved well, Aunt Wang probably leaked it to you before, and wanted to remember you It's under the name of mother, so you have to hold your own identity, you know?"

It was probably because Aunt Wang had never disclosed it to Shen Yunrou, so when she said this, Shen Yunrou stuttered a little: "Big, big sister, are you serious?"

"It depends on your performance." Shen Ruyi smiled. Seeing that Mrs. Shen will give birth in half a year, the mother and daughter don't have many people on hand, and there are not many people who can rest assured. With that incident, you can see Aunt Wang's status and control in the Hou Mansion.

The matter of recognizing Shen Yunrou as a concubine's daughter, on the one hand, was to appease Aunt Wang about Hongliu's previous incident, and on the other hand, it was also to put a bargaining chip in front of Aunt Wang's mother and daughter.If Aunt Wang can guarantee Mrs. Shen's safe delivery of the child, then Shen Yunrou's status as a prostitute will be confirmed.

But if Mrs. Shen cannot give birth safely...

Most importantly, Aunt Wang gave birth to Lord Shen's only son.In the future, it would be fine for Mrs. Shen to have a son. If Mrs. Shen gave birth to another daughter, in order to stop Marquis Shen from recognizing Shen Mingxiu as a son, then first recognize Shen Yunrou as a daughter.Aunt Wang is just an aunt, and it is absolutely impossible for her two children to be remembered as legitimate children.

And in terms of Mrs. Shen's reputation, it is also very beneficial to remember Shen Yunrou as a prostitute.Virtuous and filial piety is the world's requirement for a daughter-in-law. Now Mrs. Shen's filial piety is a certainty, and the reputation of virtuousness has no reason, how can it be spread?

Anyone who wants to be a good wife must either take concubines for her husband, or treat the children born of concubines as her own.Mrs. Shen is not in the mood to take concubines for Lord Shen. It is enough for the Hou's mansion to have a capable Aunt Wang. If there are more, who can guarantee that her children will live better?
She doesn't mind that Marquis Shen goes to other women, what she minds is that these women have evil intentions and will attack her children.Therefore, there is no way to accept concubines widely, unless Lord Shen Hou proposed it himself.

Then only the latter one is left—be kind to the children of the concubine. In this regard, the most difficult thing to do is to treat the concubine. , whether it is good or not bad for the bastard, this accuracy is too difficult to grasp.

Shen Mingxiu lives in the front yard now, Mrs. Shen just wants to treat Shen Mingxiu kindly, but firstly she can't get her hands on her, and secondly, Aunt Wang is not at ease.Therefore, Mrs. Shen is unwilling to think of a way on this.

If Shen Mingxiu is excluded, only Shen Yunrou will be left.

She's just a concubine, everyone knows that when Madam Shen returned to Beijing, Shen Yunrou was already [-] or [-], and her temperament had already settled down.If Shen Yunrou is a good person in the future, the credit goes to Madam Shen.If Shen Yunrou is a bad person in the future, then it is also a bad person at all.

Besides, it's just a matter of dowry for a concubine's daughter to become a concubine's daughter.And if the bastard becomes the first son, it is a matter of family property.

Considering all aspects, even if this matter is quite depressing, Shen Ruyi and Mrs. Shen have to agree.Take it as Aunt Wang's hard work during the period from now to Mrs. Shen's confinement.

Playing with the eldest princess all afternoon, Shen Ruyi had just returned to the main courtyard and said a few words to Mrs. Shen when she saw the servant from Lord Shen's study rushing over: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince brought two books over, He said he wanted to exchange for other books, but the servant didn't know which one to look for, so he asked the girl to go over and look for it."

Shen Ruyi turned her head and thought for a long time before she remembered that Lord Shen Hou hadn't come down yet.Although the sixth prince is seventeen this year, but because of his poor health, the emperor did not ask the sixth prince to go to court.

It's just passed the fifth day, so is the sixth prince in such a hurry?

Thinking about it, Shen Ruyi hurried to the study. Fortunately, she hadn't had time to change her clothes when she came back, otherwise, it would have been a lot of trouble.

As soon as those who entered the study room saw the sixth prince who was sitting drinking tea, Shen Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, the sixth prince waved his hand: "I came here uninvited, it's rude, please don't mind Miss Shen .”

Shen Ruyi hurriedly waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay, Your Highness the Sixth Highness is being polite. His Highness the Sixth Highness is here today..."

"It's like this. After I took the Ten Continents from you that day, I was very itchy. I couldn't help copying it once I went back. Now I bring it here for Miss Shen to have a look. If Miss Shen thinks it's okay , Miss Shen's collection, I still haven't read a few books..."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to scratch his chin in embarrassment, Shen Ruyi was stunned, and then he couldn't help but want to laugh. He reached out and took the two books that the sixth prince handed over with the other hand, and after a brief glance, his eyes felt a little dizzy. Liang: "Did His Highness the Sixth Highness personally copy it? It's so beautifully written."

Seeing that Shen Ruyi was quite satisfied, the sixth prince relaxed a little, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, thank you Miss Shen for your compliment, I can handle these few words. Miss Shen is willing to lend me the book. I am very grateful, these two books are my thank you."

"How embarrassing..." Shen Ruyi liked those two books very much, and some didn't want to return them, but she was rewarded for nothing. Although she lent the books to the sixth prince, the sixth prince also lent them to her, and it was still worth it The almost equally precious collection, now that the Sixth Prince has given him a thank-you gift, is a bit too precious.

"I take Ms. Shen as a friend, so don't refuse, Ms. Shen. We all like to read books. It's not a common thing for friends to give each other two books. If Ms. Shen is really sorry, she will also give me two later. The book is ready."

The sixth prince said with a smile, at first he was anxious to read the lonely book, and lost his composure, which made Shen Ruyi gain the upper hand.But people who love to read have common problems. He went back to calm down and thought of a way to deal with it.

Since Shen Ruyi is not willing to lend him the collection of books, then he can use bait in exchange, this is always okay, right?Hmph, I can't believe she didn't take the bait.
