Chapter 84 Receiving Shen Ziheng's gift
The husband and wife walked forward gossiping. Soon, they heard footsteps behind them. They turned around and saw Xiuju coming: "Mrsir and Mrs., the people on the door went back and forth. Last time, the little man in Lord Shen's house came to see the master's wife."
What did Shen Ziheng's maid come to see them?
Sun Shaozu couldn't help looking at each other with Yingchun, and the couple walked to the front hall.
When I arrived at the door of the front hall, I saw a girl standing at the door of the front hall.
Yingchun and Sun Shaozu saw that the girl was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything. The couple entered the front hall, and a servant came forward to salute. Sun Shaozu and Yingchun knew that this was Shen Ziheng's servant. Sun Shaozu sat down with a smile and asked, "I don't know what's wrong with Lord Shen?"
The little one bowed: "The little one is Shen Fu, who is next to the master. Today, the master asked the little one to come to send a girl to Mrs. Sun."
Sending the girl, Yingchun was a little surprised, but it makes sense to send a hairpin. What on earth is Shen Ziheng going to do?
Sun Shaozu also moved his heart and smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Shen, but there are enough of maids in my house. Lord Shen has just come to the capital, and there are fewer servants. Originally, I didn't think well. I should have given a few subordinates to Lord Shen. This made Lord Shen take the lead, so please tell Lord Shen that Jing has received it. Lord Shen's spin, I can't accept any more gifts.
Shen Fu bowed his body with a smile: "My master said that he was just a girl. In addition, the last time I sent Mrs. Sun's hairpin was given to Mrs. Sun by my old master, not from the master. The master is a brother and Mrs. Sun is a sister. As a brother, it is not too much to send a little girl."
The words are light and seem to be given casually, but Sun Shaozu and Yingchun are not relaxed.
Yingchun laughed and said, "Brother-in-law is too polite, but I received my adoptive father's things once and my adoptive brother's things once on the right. I'm really sorry. I will not dare to accept my adoptive brother's gifts again this time."
Shen Fu knelt in front of Yingchun: "Mrs. Sun is my master's sister-in-law, that is, my aunt. I begged my aunt to love me more. When I came out, the master had something to say. If my aunt doesn't accept this girl, I won't go back to Shen's house. The little aunt is also a kind-hearted master, and the aunt should care about the little one.
Shen Fu's words made Yingchun and Sun Shaozu unable to say anything anymore.
I really don't know how Shen Ziheng came out of such a clever slave. Yingchun thought to himself, but what is Shen Ziheng's intention of trying to give himself a girl? This person is becoming more and more confusing.
Looking at Sun Shaozu in the spring, Sun Shaozu also closed his eyes slightly.
Yingchun smiled and said to Shen Fu, "You are very obedient. It seems that your brother's ability is really good. All right, get up, where's the little girl?
Shen Fu first kowtowed to Yingchun and said, "Thank you, auntie." Then he stood up and said to the door, "Xiaoyun, come in quickly."
The girl at the door just came in with her head down, knelt in front of Sun Shaozu and kowtowed to Sun Shaozu, and then kowtowed to Yingchun.
Shen Fu smiled and said, "Auntie, this girl's name is Xiaoyun. Since then, Xiaoyun has been Auntie's."
Yingchun smiled and nodded to make Xiaoyun get up.
Shen Fu saluted Sun Shaozu and Yingchun again: "Master Sun, aunt, I'm going back now. What do you want to ask Master Sun and aunt?"
Yingchun said with a smile, "Go back and convey my gratitude to my brother."
Shen Fu said yes, and then retreated.
Yingchun called the embroidered orange and took Xiaoyun down to settle down.
Sun Shaozu also sent away the other little girl and looked at Yingchun: "What on earth does your brother mean?"
Yingchun doesn't talk, because she can't figure it out.
Sun Shaozu said again, "Send the hairpin first, and then the girl. Next, do you want to give you his birthday?"
Yingchun looked at Sun Shaozu and understood what Sun Shaozu meant in his heart. The eight-character post of birthday is only sent when the marriage is about to be married. Sun Shaozu said this, which is nothing more than implying that Shen Ziheng has given too many things to welcome the Spring Festival.
Yingchun didn't want to be ridiculed by Sun Shaozu like this. She gently stroked her temples: "Master is very right. It seems that I'm still a little charming."
Sun Shaozu looked at the jade hand on the temples that Yingchun stroked and pretended to be charming with her. Sun Shaozu couldn't help laughing: "You will think about it."
The couple struggled for a while, and then fell asleep.
The next day, Yingchun called Xiuju and Sizhu and sent away the others. Yingchun said to the two, "You look at Xiaoyun carefully. You can't let her know the important things. Just let her do some light work, remember?"
The two embroidered oranges said yes and nodded in the spring.
Yingchun was always a little uneasy. She felt that Shen Ziheng was too strange, so Xiaoyun, a subordinate who was already in her yard, would definitely be embanked everywhere.
The little girl came in and reported, "Madam, Princess Nan'an gave me a box of snacks."
Yingchun immediately asked the little girl to invite people in.
A well-dressed daughter-in-law came in. She saw Yingchun salute: "Mrs. Sun, these are some snacks given by the imperial concubine to Mrs. Sun. Yesterday, the empress dowager was rewarded by the empress dowager."
Hearing this, Yingchun smiled and said, "Thank you for still remembering, embroidered oranges, and reward this sister-in-law quickly."
My daughter-in-law thanked Yingchun again before leaving.
The embroidered orange held the snack box with dark red patterns and came to Yingchun: "Madam, this box of snacks is so expensive. It seems that the imperial concubine likes madam very much."
Yingchun was indifferent: "It's good to get the reward of the imperial concubine, but we should also be more careful. This eunuch is the sister of the empress dowager of the dynasty. Needless to say, it's just that we should be careful of those who are close to the royal family.
The embroidered orange nodded.
Open the box for spring, and there are eight pieces of milk pastry in it. Yingchun thought for a moment and ordered Xiuju: "Take out four pieces of snacks, give two pieces to Mother Wang, and eat two pieces with Sizhu."
The embroidered orange immediately shook his head: "I sent it to Grandma Wang's maidservant, but there are not many snacks from the imperial concubine. How delicious are our servants, madam, we dare not stand it."
Yingchun laughed: "Silly girl, there's nothing you dare to bear. It's just a snack. Since I gave you a gift, you can keep it. Don't be mother-in-law's. Be careful that Sun Xi jokes at you."
The embroidered orange suddenly blushed when Yingchun said: "Madam will tease the maidservant."
"Okay, I'll reward you and Sizhu. You two will eat them in a minute. You can send these two pieces to Mother Wang first, and then bring some fruits to Mother Wang."
The embroidered orange answered and put snacks in a small box for the mistress Wang.
Wang Niang lives in two houses north of Sun Mansion. It was Yingchun who asked Sun Shaozu for the quiet and bright main room for her.
Wang's mistress usually has nothing to do. She goes to Yingchun's place to help Yingchun inquire about some things to be told by Yingchun. For the rest of the time, she is very leisurely.
The embroidered orange sent snacks, indicating that it was given to the wife by the imperial concubine of Nan'an. The wife sent two pieces because she was thinking about her and asked the nurse to taste it.
Wang's milkmaid smiled and sent away the embroidered oranges. She sat on the chair and picked up a piece of milk pastry and put it in her mouth.
The snacks in the palace are different. While eating, Aunt Wang thought that this is soft and tastes, how can ordinary people make it? I heard from Xiuju that this snack was only eight yuan, and I only gave myself two pieces in the spring. Not to mention how precious it is, I just said how decent it is.
Chewing the soft and sweet milk skin pastry, Milk Girl Wang has always been sweet to her heart.
Others say that the current Spring Festival is different from before, and it is no longer a "two wood" that doesn't know how to poke a needle. Moreover, Yingchun was still very powerful. In Sun's house, he first sold the provocative Chujiao and punished Aunt Chen, who was not in a good position. Even Sun Shaozu gave Yingchun two or three points.
Wang's nurse sat in the chair and picked up another piece of cake with a smile. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the son in front of him, Sun's house is well under the control of Yingchun, and people are respectful and afraid of Yingchun. Which one doesn't praise the lady for her wisdom in private, and which one doesn't envy her as her maid?
Some days ago, Yingchun opened a happy trip again. I heard that the business was very good. Yingchun also asked the embroidery room to make new clothes for her Nanny Wang. When Nanny Wang took over the clothes handed over by Yingchun, she was very satisfied.
This girl really doesn't have white breasts. If she has benefits, she will always think about herself. This is a real blessing for her old age.
Wang Nanny thought of this and took a sip of tea with a smile.
It's just that at my age, I'm always idle and have nothing to do. I'm really idle. Moreover, since I was punished by Jia's mother, I haven't been involved in the card game for a long time. Now that I have left Jia's house, it's good to treat myself in spring. I often think that I want to play a few cards. If I can have fun a few times, plus the current days, it will be the icing on the cake.
Wang Niang thought about it and came out of her room and walked towards the northwest corner door. Wang Niang heard that because the northwest corner of the door is relatively remote, the masters here do not come often, so several women secretly play cards here.
You can't play cards. Look, it's always okay.
Wang Niang walked to the northwest corner of the gate. Sure enough, several women were quietly playing cards in the room. When they saw Wang's mistress coming, they first panicked and timidly shouted "Grandma Wang", and then no one dared to speak.
Wang's mother laughed and said, "Don't spoil the fun of you guys. Don't worry, I didn't come to patrol on behalf of my wife. I'm just walking around. When people get older, they are a little greedy and lively. They want to find a place with many people to talk to.
Several people listened and didn't dare to play at ease. They all looked at each other and hesitated to laugh.
Wang's mother asked several people to sit down, sat next to them with a small stool, and said to everyone with a smile, "I used to like to play, but I can't play today. Just watch you play."
When several people saw that the nurse Wang said this, they were a little relieved and played cards.
Wang's nurse watched it with relish. Not long after, she chatted with several people.
After a few cards came down, several people put down their guard against Wang's mother, and Wang's mother also followed several people to come up with ideas or something.
