The good news that Shen You was promoted to the commander of the East Palace Guards was spread out of the palace that night and returned to the Shen Mansion.
When Mrs. Feng found out, she was so happy that she couldn't help but smile: "Oh! This is such a great happy event! Great! I'll send people the good news right away. In a few days, I'll set up a few tables of wedding wine in the house for the family members. All my friends are very happy."
Mrs. Tong and Lei Xiaoxue were also very happy and congratulated Feng Shaojun together.
A wife is more valuable than her husband. Why don't Shen You congratulate Feng Shaojun properly for being so dedicated?
Feng Shaojun smiled brightly: "Thank you second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law. Shen You is who he is today, all thanks to my aunt. If you want to congratulate, you should also congratulate your aunt."
Da Feng was so coaxed that she burst into laughter, "Congratulations to whoever you want! It's a great event anyway!"
Then he called the stewards of the mansion and told them to go to relatives and friends to announce the good news.
Da Feng was busy in high spirits, while Feng Shaojun sat leisurely aside, gently caressing his beating belly from time to time. The child in the belly seemed to feel the joy of his mother, stretching his little feet and waving his little fists from time to time.
Feng Shaojun's hand touched it gently, and the belly under his palm beat even more happily.
Lei Xiaoxue smiled and said: "This baby in the belly of the fourth brother and sister must be a naughty bag. Look at this movement!"
Mrs. Tong was also a visitor and said with a smile: "Isn't it true? If you are so active in your mother's womb, he will definitely be a naughty boy when he is born!"
"That's not necessarily true." Lei Xiaoxue continued: "When my mother was pregnant with me, the fetal movements were particularly frequent. As a result, I was born."
Facts have proved that it is not necessarily the boy who is naughty. It may also be a daughter like Lei Xiaoxue.
A doctor with excellent medical skills and good at diagnosing the pulse can diagnose whether the fetus is a boy or a girl in about four months of a woman's pregnancy. Feng Shaojun has never thought about this, and he has not bothered to ask a famous doctor to diagnose the pulse.
Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all her and Shen You's flesh and blood. Just keep this surprise until the day of delivery...
Feng Shaojun touched his belly again: "In more than two months, we will know whether it is a son or a daughter."
Mrs. Tong laughed: "Thank you for being able to bear it."
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled.
In her previous life, she was alone and died of illness on her bed. In this life, she has a deeply beloved husband and a child who is about to be born. All the people she cares about are living well. It's great!
…
Da Feng sent a bunch of good news, so naturally he would not forget to send someone to deliver the letter to Shen Mao.
Amid the congratulations from his colleagues, Shen Mao showed a calm demeanor. After he returned to his residence, closed the door, he clenched his fist and waved it, revealing two rows of white teeth.
What a good boy, Shiro! He is indeed promising!
I don’t know how happy I am to know that my brother Shen Rong is underground!
The ancestors of the Shen family had an unworthy descendant, Shen Mao, who was mediocre. Fortunately, he carefully raised his brother's posthumous son and revitalized the Shen family.
Shen Mao was so happy that he couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes vigorously.
The next day, relatives and friends came to the door to express their congratulations.
Mrs. Feng was sitting in the inner hall in high spirits, listening to her relatives praising Shen You and flattering herself, and her heart was filled with joy.
As Shen You's wife, Feng Shaojun is naturally the focus of everyone's attention. Faced with everyone's overtures, Feng Shaojun responded with a smile, which can be said to be very smooth.
The female relatives of the Feng family soon came to the door.
Mrs. Zhou brought her daughter-in-law Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Yao also had a young woman behind her. Feng Wenhao got married two months ago, and this young woman is their new daughter-in-law.
It had been more than three years since Mrs. Feng passed away. Mr. Feng had no intention of renewing his relationship and only took in a few beautiful concubines. The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou, was the head of the Feng family.
Without her mean mother-in-law and cunning sister-in-law, Zhou's life was smooth and richer than before.
Yao's face was much more miserable.
After Mrs. Feng's death, Feng Wei did not feel at ease to keep his filial piety in the mansion. He went out to drink and have fun more frequently. Sometimes he did not return home for ten and a half months. Even when he came back, his temper was unstable. Mr. Yao suffered a lot and had to take care of himself. She was a widow without a husband, and the days were finally getting through her.
What makes Mr. Yao frustrated is that the marriages of his two children are not going well.
After Feng Shaozhu observed mourning for one year, he started discussing marriage. Yao was extremely ambitious and wanted to arrange a good marriage for Feng Shaozhu. He did not dare to compare family status with the Xie family or knowledge with Tao Heng, nor could he compare with Shen You about his future official position.
At least, it can't be worse than Shen Jia!
But after searching and searching, I couldn't find anything suitable. After another year of delay, I saw that Feng Shaozhu was almost turning into an old girl. I had to bite the bullet and make a marriage arrangement. Feng Shaozhu married the legitimate son of a fourth-grade civil servant. That's it, It was because of Feng Shilang of the third rank that he came to propose the marriage.
It has been a year since Feng Shaozhu got married. He has a shrewd and powerful mother-in-law, two powerful sisters-in-law, and several difficult sisters-in-law, so his life is quite miserable.
Compared with this, it is better to marry Shen Jia.
The Shen Mansion is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and the family tradition is upright and the inner house is harmonious. Shen Jianong, handsome with big eyebrows, is serving as the bodyguard of the East Palace and will be the bodyguard of the emperor in the future.
Was she blind back then? Why didn't she look down on Shen Jia?
When Yao thought about this, he felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.
When it came time for Feng Wenhao to marry, Feng Wei only had the honor of being a civil servant and had no official position. Feng Wenhao had no merit other than a face that could barely be seen. However, his habit of drinking flower wine was the same as his own father's, so his reputation was really not good.
As a result, very few families were willing to get married. In the end, they had no choice but to bow down and marry a wife. The daughter-in-law Zhuang's biological father was only a sixth-rank imperial official.
In short, everything about the Yao family was not going well. After entering the Shen Mansion, it was really hard to muster up energy and smile to flatter the big Feng family, who was not in his eyes at first.
Feng Shaojun knew how to hurt someone's heart, and said to Yao with a smile: "Second aunt, I haven't seen my cousin Shaozhu for a long time. Is she okay now?"
Yao felt bitter in her heart, but she still managed to save face and said with a smile: "She is very nice. Her husband's family is generous, and her mother-in-law is also good-tempered and never restrains her."
Feng Shaojun smiled leisurely: "In two days, there will be a banquet and wine in the house, and I will have someone send a message to cousin Shaozhu. It just so happens that the sisters can take the opportunity to get together and talk about their farewells."
Yao: "..."
Feng Shaozhu's mother-in-law had very strict rules and did not allow her daughter-in-law to leave the house at will. After Feng Shaozhu got married, she only returned to her parents' home a handful of times.
What if Feng Shaojun posted a message and Feng Shaozhu failed to come out as a guest? It would be so embarrassing!
Feng Shaojun pretended to be surprised: "Why didn't the second aunt say anything? Could it be that cousin Shaozhu can't come?" Before Yao could say anything, he added: "Didn't the second aunt say that cousin Shaozhu's husband's family is generous and her mother-in-law has a bad temper?" Okay? She won’t be allowed to go out as a guest, right?"
Yao smiled dryly: "How could this happen?"
Feng Shaojun smiled sweetly: "That's good. I'll have someone send a post to cousin Shaozhu right now."
