Chapter two hundred and ninety-fifth: meeting mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Due to various reasons, Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui finally came to Zhao Hongrun's Prince Su's Mansion, which made Zhao Hongrun feel a little uneasy.
After all, the female elders like them, who have been through it all, sometimes make jokes that make the younger generation feel more embarrassed and blush than the men. It would be even more embarrassing if there was only Concubine Shen Shu, but with a concubine from Wu Gui, God knows how they would tease her.
A few juniors.
But now, Zhao Hongrun has no choice but to repeatedly and secretly plead with his mother, Concubine Shen Shu, to please her and Concubine Wu to be merciful and not to make Miss Su too shy.
Concubine Shen Shu seemed to be very dissatisfied with this, and said to Concubine Wu Gui: "This boy is afraid that I will bully his little sweetheart."
"Which boy is not like this?" Wu Guifei covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My Hongzhao was very protective of that concubine at that time. I even gave her a set of jewelry, but in the end she secretly asked me
Have you ever bullied others... Hey, even though it is said that girls are not allowed to stay in college, once this son grows up, we will not be able to control him."
Having said this, Wu Guibi couldn't help but sigh again.
"I see the same thing." Concubine Shen Shu frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked at Zhao Hongrun with a bit of complaint in her eyes. Zhao Hongrun was so frightened that Zhao Hongrun quickly lowered his head and did not dare to speak again, lest the situation would become even worse.
After all, harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been rare since ancient times. It is no wonder that as a woman, the most important thing in life is her husband and children. Suddenly, a strange woman appears to take care of them and raise them.
His son was snatched away. This hostility cannot be easily resolved.
At this time, the first impression of the daughter-in-law in the eyes of the mother-in-law becomes even more important.
If the first impression is excellent, then the hostility in the mother-in-law's heart will be slightly reduced; but on the other hand, if the first impression is not good, then there will be trouble in the future.
When the time comes, my son will be caught between my mother and my daughter-in-law, and it will be a real dilemma.
The so-called first impression is that when the daughter-in-law meets her mother-in-law for the first time, her mother-in-law will inevitably criticize this strange woman from beginning to end, from her clothes to her words and deeds.
harsh.
No, when Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui sat down on the first floor of Cuixiao Garden in Prince Su's Mansion, and saw Miss Su walking towards them with the support of maid Lu'er, Concubine Wu Gui's eyes also changed.
Be sharp, let alone Concubine Shen Shu.
If we use Zhao Hongrun's metaphor, it's as if he has seen prey, his eyes are shining.
Regarding this, Zhao Hongrun really couldn't believe that his seemingly weak mother could still be so powerful.
At the same time, Miss Su was walking on thin ice. Ever since she came down from the second floor, she had stood in front of Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui with her hands lowered. She lowered her eyebrows and looked as obedient as possible, hoping that she could use them.
This resolves the hostility in Ailang's mother's heart.
The atmosphere on the entire first floor of Cuixiao Garden seemed to have solidified. Before Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui opened their mouths, Miss Su did not dare to speak rashly at all. She was uneasy even to say hello, so she just stood there silently.
Beside, Lu'er had already boiled a pot of water and looked at her lady nervously.
This has always been a rule. When a new daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law for the first time, the parents-in-law naturally want to take a good look at the woman and give her son a check.
Before the parents-in-law speak, the new daughter-in-law is not allowed to speak without authorization. She can only be treated like a piece of merchandise, and Ren Ailang's female elders evaluate her from beginning to end.
Although this sounds a bit unsatisfactory, in fact, it is something that every woman in the Wei Dynasty has to experience.
It has to be said that Miss Su was very anxious and uneasy at the moment. She wanted to take a look at Ai Lang and get some encouragement from Ai Lang's eyes, but in the end she did not dare to raise her head and just held her breath.
He stood there quietly with a low eyebrow and a submissive look.
She couldn't help but be frightened. After all, her lover was the prince of the Wei Dynasty, the dignified King Su Hongrun. This meant that his mother was the concubine of the Emperor Wei in the palace. Regardless of her identity or status, she was not comparable to that of ordinary families.
.
I believe that at this moment, she was afraid that Ailang's mother would dislike her background.
At the same time, just as Miss Su had guessed, Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui were looking her up and down, sometimes discussing something in low voices. However, they did not care about her origins as Miss Su thought, but they were looking at her up and down.
They were talking about her appearance, clothes, and age.
"What a beauty..." Wu Guibi calmly touched the back of her hand, showing a bit of envy and even a little jealousy like a little woman. After all, Miss Su was as white as jade.
Her skin, which is almost forty years old, really makes her envious.
"I don't know what the condition of my body and bones is..."
Concubine Shen Shu whispered back.
In fact, Concubine Shen Shu was also a beauty with fair skin when she was young. Even though she is nearly forty now, her complexion is still fair and delicate.
But because she has always had weak bones, Shen Shufei had some prejudices against women with fair skin, because she drew a conclusion from her own example: women with fair skin generally have weak bones.
She didn't want her son's woman to be like her, getting sick every three days and then getting sick every five days.
Fortunately, Miss Su's complexion is as white as a white jade, rather than as pale as Shen Shufei, who is often troubled by illness. This makes Shen Shufei more satisfied.
"How old is this woman?" Wu Guibi asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Concubine Shen Shu frowned slightly and whispered: "It is said that he is six or seven years older than my son."
"Eh? Doesn't that mean that this year is already twenty-two and three?" Wu Guibi was surprised.
You must know that in the Wei Dynasty, it is not a problem for a woman to marry a man two or three years older than herself. On the other hand, the man's parents are happy to see this. After all, the eldest daughter-in-law will take care of others. This is the custom of the Wei Dynasty.
But he's six or seven years older, that's a problem.
After all, the age gap is too big, a full six or seven years.
"But, you can't tell..." Concubine Wu Gui looked at Miss Su's fair and delicate skin with envy, and whispered: "Looking at her, she looks like she is three or four years old at most..."
"Um."
Concubine Shen Shu looked at Miss Su carefully and nodded slightly.
In fact, excluding age, Concubine Shen Shu is quite satisfied with Miss Su. After all, Miss Su's appearance has won her a lot of impression points, and her steady temperament makes Concubine Shen Shu feel very satisfied, not to mention Miss Su.
Today I dressed up specially and put on some light rouge. Her fair and rosy face looked so attractive.
After a long time, she asked with a smile: "It seems that you are the Miss Su that my son talked about."
This sounded unnecessary, but it really made Miss Su relieved. After all, this meaningless sentence was actually a message, which meant that Miss Su could finally speak.
I saw her bowing gracefully to Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui, and calling solemnly: "Little girl Su Ran, I have met Concubine Shu and Concubine Wu."
Because Zhao Hongrun had secretly introduced Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui to Miss Su in advance, Miss Su would not recognize the wrong person.
"Just call me "Shen", Concubine Shen Shu said, waving her hands.
At this time, the little girl Lu'er hurriedly poured two cups of tea and brought them to Miss Su on a lacquer plate. Miss Su herself respectfully brought the two cups of tea to Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui.
"Even I have tea to drink." Concubine Wu Gui took the teacup with a smile and made a joke.
It can be seen that she still has a good impression of Miss Su, but since she is just a bystander this time, it is difficult for her to express anything.
After all, it all depends on Concubine Shen Shu’s intention.
But in fact, Concubine Shen Shu was not dissatisfied with Miss Su. Apart from being a little concerned about this woman's age and having a bit of ancient mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hostility towards her for "taking away" her son, in other respects
Quite satisfied.
Looking at the smile on Concubine Shen Shu's face, Zhao Hongrun breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Concubine Shen Shu should have accepted Miss Su.
But I have to say that what happened next was probably the most embarrassing thing for him.
"Listen to my son, you and he are already married?"
Isn't that right? Concubine Shen Shu blinked and asked directly to Miss Su.
Eh?
Miss Su raised her head, her face was flustered and at a loss. She opened her mouth several times to speak, but in the end nothing came out.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said to Concubine Shen Shu angrily: "Mother, why do you ask this?"
"May I ask what's wrong?" Concubine Shen Shu glanced at her son complainingly, then waved her hand as if to chase him away, and said, "Go, don't stay here, go outside the house and see if Yulong and the others have arrived."
"Mom..." Zhao Hongrun shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to give Miss Su a look that was asking for blessings, which frightened Miss Su and made her face turn pale.
Runlang, you...
Seeing Ailang "abandoning" her, shaking her head and walking outside the house, Miss Su felt frightened and anxious, and her face couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.
Seeing this, Concubine Shen Shu felt a little funny in her heart. She waved and said softly: "Don't be afraid, is it possible that I will eat you again? Come, come to me."
"...Yes." Miss Su lowered her head, bit her lip, and walked towards Concubine Shen Shu anxiously.
She was afraid that after Ailang left, Ailang's mother would look down upon her.
However, it turned out that her guess was wrong. Concubine Shen Shu did not embarrass her, but the questions she asked really made Miss Su feel shy and embarrassed, and it was difficult to reply.
"By the way, how many times have you two had sex so far?"
"How did you ever have it in your belly?"
"..."
Listening to those embarrassing questions, Miss Su blushed.
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun, who was driven out of Cuixiao Garden by Concubine Shen Shu, followed the instructions and came to the main entrance of the palace. After calculating the time, he sent out to pick up Princess Yulong and Mi Jiang, Mi Rui, Yang Ton Xing and the girls.
The clan guards have almost arrived.
Sure enough, before Zhao Hongrun could wait outside the palace gate for long, Zongwei, Gao Kuo and others drove the girls to the palace in a carriage.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun's eyes coincidentally met with Mi Jiang's, who had just stepped off the carriage and subconsciously looked towards the door of the mansion.
This is the first time since that beautiful day. (To be continued.)
