After Mrs. Chen told Lin Qian, she told the girl next to her, "Go to the big kitchen and add two of Dalang's favorite dishes."
Shen Nanxun stopped Mrs. Chen, "Don't bother mother, I'll go back to Bailu Garden."
Shen Nanxun continued: "It was too late yesterday. My mother has been in good health recently. The weather is getting hotter. Does she have a poor appetite?"
Mrs. Chen didn't know why, "It's all good, and I have a good appetite. If Sister Qian hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to eat two more candied dates and honey rice dumplings."
"Oh? Well, I heard that my mother asked the Lin family to make salted plums to eat. I think my mother has a poor appetite. After all, my mother always likes sweets."
Chen didn't take it seriously, but Lin Qian's tea-ordering utensil did make an inappropriate knocking sound.
Mrs. Chen patted Shen Nanxun, "You kid, what sister of the Lin family, that is your cousin, in the future..." Mrs. Chen covered her mouth and smiled ambiguously.
As soon as Mrs. Liu heard that Brother Feng ran out, she told the maid who was outside a few words before leading Brother Feng back to the main room.
Before Ms. Liu could sit down, she heard her mother-in-law say:
"Let me tell you, that lady of yours is really shameful. She suffered such a huge loss after giving birth to a child, yet she still doesn't eat meat and oil. How can she make up for the loss without taking more supplements? It's just that she doesn't eat shit, and she's still trying to stop her. If the wet nurse eats it, no wonder she is in poor health."
Mrs. Chen was still talking about her daughter-in-law's fault, "The first child was settled and asked her to give you a room. She said that you are not in the house and can't be the master. I have to wait for you to come back."
Shen Nanxun was shocked, he didn't expect this to happen.
"You're in Kyoto this time, right? She's using the excuse that she's not feeling well, so she can't do anything about it. She can't do anything about her husband, but she holds the power in the house very tightly."
"Let Sister Qian and Erlang's daughter-in-law..."
Mrs. Chen's words were interrupted by a panting little girl from Wanshuangyuan, "Second Madam, please go and see our sister. She is suffering from vomiting and diarrhea."
Mrs. Liu stood up suddenly and reprimanded the little girl, "Are there any rules anymore? This place is so reckless and reckless. What are you talking about? It has tainted the ears of the masters."
After saying that, he apologized to the others in the room, "My little girl has no rules. Please forgive me. Sister Wan is probably greedy and ate too many rice dumplings. I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he took his two brothers and left.
But Brother Zhi was playing with a Luban lock with his father Shen Beirui, which Liu could pull away.
Mrs. Liu said, "Why don't you leave too? You won't be able to take Brother Zhi with you."
Shen Beirui was not a fool. He stood up with his child in his arms, "Mom and dad, let's go back first. Brother Zhi has a bad temper. I won't be able to resist him when he comes to his mother."
Shen Erlang's family left soon.
Shen Nanxun watched the whole process and found for the first time that his silent younger brother and sister were very interesting.
Mrs. Chen was still saying: "I heard Mrs. Lu is in a very dangerous situation this time. I don't know if she can have another child. I'm wondering, you still have to get married again."
Shen Nanxun frowned. Just now he was accepting, and now he is marrying. There is no difference between accepting and marrying.
"Mom, don't say anything anymore." Shen Nanxun shouted sternly.
Mrs. Chen's voice was a little louder, "Why, if you marry a woman who dropped her books, you have to follow the tricks of those stinky scholars who have no children in their forties and take concubines? The prince's palace is different."
It is indeed different. Even though the Shen family has held titles for nearly a hundred years, they have little background and deliberately hide their clumsiness. Compared with the Lu family, which was established in Shilin hundreds of years ago, they are just a mere showpiece.
Moreover, the Shen family's military exploits came on horseback. Even if there are few opportunities to fight nowadays, the Shen family's son has been practicing riding and shooting since he was a child. Over the past few decades, there will always be some casualties, so for the Shen family, there is no reason not to accept concubines. In that case, even the direct distinction between concubines and concubines is not particularly strict.
Not to mention, even if his father did not marry a concubine, he still had a concubine, and the two of them had a concubine. The concubine even had a child named Shen Ke, who was also married to King Xie of this generation.
His younger brother Shen Erlang also had a married woman.
But the Shen family is the Shen family and he is him, and there is no way he would take a concubine.
"Mother, I will not take a concubine..."
It should be said that Mrs. Chen is also a lucky person. Although her husband does not dote on her much, she still respects her. As for her two biological sons, they are filial piety, and their two daughters-in-law respect them...
It can be said that, except for the fact that her eldest daughter-in-law is not her favorite, her life is not unhappy at all.
But now, not only does she have an eldest daughter-in-law whom she doesn't like, but she also has a son who disobeys her and refuses to take concubines.
Mrs. Chen interrupted Shen Nanxun and began to cry and fuss over the skills that she had been familiar with since childhood but had never had the chance to implement for half her life.
"Oh my god, they say that marrying a virtuous wife is the order of your parents. Old lady, I will not allow you to marry such a sick man. You must marry her."
"Now that I'm ready, I won't let you marry her. I won't let you accept her. Divorce her immediately. She is jealous. Yes, she is jealous. Divorce her immediately and send her away."
Shen Nanxun looked at the troublesome person in front of him, was this still the mother who gave birth to her?
"Mother, it has nothing to do with He Mother, I am..."
"You are still protecting her, you are still protecting her, are you going to make me mad to death? Ouch, ouch, my heart aches, oh, the unfilial son is going to make my old lady mad to death."
Listening to Mrs. Chen's angry voice, Shen Nanxun said to the serving girl: "Go and ask for the doctor." He stopped again as soon as he finished speaking.
"Fu'an."
Fu'an Huanhou was outside. Hearing this, he walked to the door but did not enter the house.
"The slave is here."
"Take my sign and go to the imperial doctor, saying that the princess has a heart disease because she disobeyed her mother's orders and took a concubine."
In Fu An's uncertain eyes, Shen Nanxun urged again, "Go quickly, how can the princess wait for you to take your time?"
Fu'an surrendered and accepted the order.
Shen Nanxun then said to Mrs. Chen: "Mom, please be patient. The imperial doctor will be here soon. My son is not a doctor and is of no use here. In order to prevent my mother from being upset, my son has left. Mother must take care of him."
After Shen Nanxun finished speaking, he strode away without waiting for Chen's reaction. This time, Chen was really angry and cried.
Lin Qian hurriedly came to persuade her, "Why is my aunt so anxious? My sister-in-law just gave birth yesterday..."
Mrs. Chen grabbed Lin Qian and said, "My poor sister Qian was turned into an old girl by that poisonous woman from Mrs. Lu. Why don't you tell your aunt not to worry? You are one year older than the poisonous woman."
Lin Qian's eyes flashed with a vicious light, "Auntie, don't be anxious, don't be anxious for a while, auntie will always get your wish."
Mrs. Chen patted the table at her hand, causing the tea bowl to make a crisp sound.
"The poisonous woman is really lucky. If she had known this, she should have put more effort into her food."
Lin Qian held Mrs. Chen's hand and said, "Auntie, be careful what you say."
Mrs. Chen shook Lin Qian's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't worry."
Here, Shen Nanxun's heart was far from as calm as it seemed on the surface, and he thought of Lu Fenghe's words about wanting to reconcile.
I'm just afraid that things are far from as simple as I thought.
