Volume Five Chapter 106: Monologue, crazy thoughts
When Shen Yixiu was observing and sizing up several women who came to the door, several women were naturally also carefully observing the woman who was the first to become Brother Feng's legitimate wife.
Lin Daiyu and the others were all familiar with her, but Shen Yixiu and the others had heard of her name for a long time but had never seen her in person. Of course they had to look carefully when they saw her today.
The image of Shen Yixiu is still in line with their impressions. From Qingwen through Jin Chuaner, Xiangling and others, it can also give them a general understanding of Shen Yixiu's appearance, personality, and quality. Lan Xin is beautiful and smart, good at poetry and painting, kind to others but independent-minded. These comments gradually made several women establish their first impression of Shen Yixiu.
Today's meeting is just a confirmation.
Shen Yixiu's speech tone is almost the same as that of Sanchun and Xiangyun. He has lived in the capital city for a long time. Wu's voice is even lighter than Daiyu's, but he can still hear some Jiangnan accent.
This exchange of greetings with the girls also allowed them to see the style of this famous lady from a scholarly family. She has a certain degree of advancement and retreat, is friendly but not vulgar, and is generous but elegant. It is really heart-breaking, even Daiyu wants it. Admit that you are not as good as the other person in dealing with others.
Here Yingchun is even more interested in Shen Yixiu than Baochai and Tanchun, but she has always been silent and honest, and she hides this very well, but she really wants to get to know this seemingly amiable woman in front of her. How to treat others.
Rumors that her father intended to marry her to Sun Shaozu had been circulating in the house for a long time. Although her father had never officially mentioned it to her, her mother had mentioned it in a very vague way, saying that her father had not yet made a decision. Welcome to spring with both fear and fear.
She knew that she was powerless to resist the decision made by her father, and she also knew that her attitude had no impact on her father. Even her mother never dared to truly oppose her father.
Perhaps at home, only the elder brother could barely have some say in front of his father, but in the past, Yingchun had never counted on his elder brother, because his brother's meager voice would still be bruised and bruised in front of his father.
Just when she was already desperate, the situation changed somewhat.
After my brother came back from Yangzhou, things were a little different.
First of all, the attitude of my father and mother towards my brother has changed dramatically.
Especially my father, his attitude and tone of speaking with his brother have become much kinder, and there is no longer the domineering and arrogant scolding in the past.
On the contrary, the elder brother became impatient at times, and occasionally contradicted his father once or twice, but his father never became angry.
This is what I heard from the boys next to my brother and the servants next to my father, and there is no way it is false.
Also, my brother has obviously more spare money. He can even occasionally give himself and Siqi some small pieces of silver and gold and silver. He also bought himself two pieces of jewelry before the festival, which is said to cost thirty to fifty taels. Yinzi, this has never happened before in the mansion in the sixteenth year of the Spring Festival.
You must know that in the past, the elder brother wanted to get one or twenty taels of silver from the sister-in-law who was in charge of the palace, and he didn't know how much money he had to spend. It also depended on whether the sister-in-law was in a good mood.
But now it seems that the brother no longer has any financial involvement with his sister-in-law. Instead, the sister-in-law often seeks out the source of his brother's income in a roundabout way.
Although Yingchun didn't understand the principle that the economic base determines the superstructure, she knew that her father loved yellow and white things the most. Her elder brother had a lot of money and would buy some things from time to time to honor his father, which naturally made his father smile.
comfort.
For example, the jade snuff bottle he bought a year ago made my father so happy that he praised his brother for his filial piety all day long in front of the whole family, while also making insinuations about his sister-in-law, which made her so angry that she didn't come out to eat for several days.
This change of situation gave Yingchun a glimmer of hope. Because of this, Yingchun was encouraged by Siqi to find her brother and told her brother that she was unwilling to marry into the Sun family.
Originally, Yingchun thought that her brother would be harsh or disapproving, but she never expected that his brother's attitude would be very vague. He only said that this was a matter decided by his father and he could not change it. However, when he changed his words, he asked himself if he was not willing to marry into the Sun family.
, what are you going to do.
This topic stopped Yingchun from asking. Even if she had some thoughts in her heart, Yingchun did not dare to express them in front of her brother. She could only vaguely beg her brother to find a good family for her.
To this day, Yingchun can still clearly remember the strange expression on her brother's face at that time. Looking at her up and down, Yingchun was a little shy at the time.
But then the elder brother sighed and said that this matter was difficult to handle, mainly because his identity was too embarrassing. He also said that it would be much easier for a good girl from an ordinary small family, like Dongfu Zhenda next door.
My sister-in-law's two younger sisters are average, but she is a young lady from the Rongguo Mansion, and she was not born to the right mother.
When her brother mentioned that she was just like sister-in-law Dongfu Zhen's sister next door, Yingchun couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Could it be that her brother also meant this?
But the elder brother changed the subject again and asked what he thought and how his father might not agree, so Yingchun did not dare to ask further.
Until the end, although his brother agreed to his pleas and even said that he roughly understood his thoughts, he did not make any firm commitment to himself. He only said that he would think about it carefully and that he would have to see what his father thought.
From her brother's vague words and strange eyes, Yingchun seemed to notice something, which also gave her hope.
Maybe she really could not marry into that rough and violent military man's family. Thinking of this, Yingchun felt extremely longing in her heart.
So today she followed her sisters to the Feng Mansion. She just wanted to see this You family sister who was rumored to be kind to people. Even the two You sisters who were born as Hu girls were treated very well. The elegant and elegant Feng family doctor was
It's not really like that.
Looking back now, it seems that the first impression was really good.
Yingchun also thought that it would be a good choice to be sisters with Lin Daiyu, but once her cousins marry into the Feng Mansion together, she will be the head wife and she will be the concubine. She doesn't care, but she is only afraid of her father's face, and the most important thing is
It was Lin Daiyu who had to wait two years for her brother Feng to get married, and she was going to be seventeen this year. It was impossible for her family to allow her to wait until she was nineteen before leaving the court.
Shen Yixiu didn't notice that the most silent and honest girl was looking at herself with a special look. To her, these girls were all guests. They came to visit her together at Lin Daiyu's invitation, which in itself was A kind attitude toward oneself.
Lin Daiyu and them are all relatives, and they are all roughly the same age as herself. There will definitely be more opportunities to communicate and get together in the future. This will undoubtedly be a rare and rich opportunity for her life after marrying into the Feng family.
Her husband has also told himself that he does not want to be confined to such a small circle in the house after he gets married. He would be happy to see more close friends and friends.
Shen Yixiu was surprised by her husband's attitude. Very few men have such an open mind. Even the Shen family, including his father and elder brother, probably would not be able to be so open-minded. This makes it even more frustrating. Shen Yixiu felt that he had married the wrong person.
And she could feel that her husband meant what he said sincerely, rather than being inconsistent with his words. He also encouraged her and the maids in the house to do more reading, calligraphy, and painting, or play chess, cards, and pot. Activities such as shuttlecock kicking can prevent you from being bored at home. When the weather is suitable, you can also go out for a walk, such as going to your own village in the suburbs of Beijing to see and stay.
This kind of open-minded attitude made Shen Yixiu feel like he was in a dream.
Baochai came with a friendly attitude.
She believes that Feng Ziying can handle her own affairs well. This confidence comes from the fact that Feng Ziying has never failed in every move. Then maybe in the near future, she will really become a sister to this young mistress, and she will Playing a key role in the three sisters-in-law.
Although Daiyu and he have a good relationship, Daiyu will not marry into Feng Mansion until two years later, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wait until then. What I will soon face is the second room of Feng Mansion. I am afraid that there will be more people to deal with besides The future in-laws will be the eldest young lady.
Looking at the courtyard of the mansion today, maybe in a year and a half, I may have to live in the same environment, and I may even have to smile and greet the person in front of me every day.
In the flower hall, Shen Yixiu took the main seat, while the other sisters sat in a small chair opposite her, and Eryou sat below her.
Of course, Feng Ziying couldn't get around Feng Ziying. It was during the spring break, but she didn't pick up this owner, which also surprised all the girls.
"Brother Feng hasn't gotten up yet?" Daiyu asked in shock.
As far as she knew, it seemed that Brother Feng had always gotten up on time to exercise in the morning, and therefore required himself to get up in the morning to practice the body-building and nourishing techniques taught to her. Why was Brother Feng unable to get out of bed now? Could it be that after getting married? Has it become like this?
Seeing a trace of doubt in Daiyu's beautiful eyes, Shen Yixiu couldn't help but feel a slight fever on his face. In the eyes of others, this seemed to be his own problem, and it could easily lead to other thoughts. After getting married, the king would not go to court early in the morning. ?
"Well, he may be washing up. Yesterday, he brought some of his former academy classmates to watch the snow and plum blossoms. They had a drink together last night. You know that your brother Feng has a very latent drinking capacity, but as the master, he can't help but accompany him.
I wanted to have a good time, so I drank a few more drinks and got so drunk that I was eventually carried to bed."
By the end of yesterday, Feng Ziying was so drunk that she almost fell unconscious. Everyone else also returned home having a good time. It can be said that in these years, this was the most drinking time for Feng Ziying and the most enjoyable time.
