The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(130)

Chapter 104

Ning Guogong and Shen Erye left the Jingxin Residence, and the father and son walked forward along the corridor.

There is a row of tall and straight sycamore trees on both sides of the corridor. Although they are not as green and lush as in summer, they still cover the sky and the sun, giving people a very gloomy feeling.

"When Tang'er comes to Beijing this time, I estimate that the prince's family will definitely take action against him. The emperor's grandson is not a tolerant person, and what happened before, you let Shen Jian keep an eye on him secretly. If it doesn't work, Just find something for them to do. This time, I always feel like the storm is coming."

Ning Guogong has been on the battlefield for many years and has narrowly escaped death several times, all relying on his keen sense of smell. Now that he said this, Second Master Shen would naturally not turn a deaf ear.

"My son will order people to keep an eye on him."

Ning Guogong nodded, his thick gray eyebrows were knitted tightly, and he said: "Let your wife talk to the boss's wife. If she is still so reckless and ignorant, and makes your mother suffer at every turn, I will send her away." Go back to Wang’s house.”

"Dad..." Second Master Shen was a little surprised.

Mrs. Shen is not like this for a day or two. She may go crazy at some point and talk nonsense in front of someone else. The reason for such a situation is naturally what the Shen family is used to.

Ning Guogong was sympathetic to the fact that Uncle Shen was gone and left the big house behind.

orphan

A widowed mother living in the same house usually turns a blind eye. Second Master Shen is more concerned about his eldest brother's face. Uncle Shen is nearly ten years older than him, and he is both a brother and a father to him.

Especially in his heart, everything in the Shen family should belong to the eldest brother. When his eldest brother is gone, it will be his turn. He once vowed secretly in his heart that he must treat his eldest sister-in-law well and treat the children in his eldest brother's house as if they were his own, so he would order his wife to be more tolerant in everything. If there are any good things in the house, it is always the parents who stay close to them first, then the first bedroom, and finally the second bedroom.

The children in the second bedroom often say that the eldest son is giving them a bad look. He always disciplines his own children first, but the eldest son is getting more and more excessive now, and the eldest sister-in-law is getting more and more intolerable.

I have to say that Mr. Shen breathed a sigh of relief when Ning Guogong said this. Because he didn't know how long he could endure it if he continued to make trouble like this.

"Brother Tai is getting more and more outrageous. I'll let him go to my yard starting tomorrow. I'll watch him practice martial arts every day and serve as a concierge. He's not allowed to leave the house anymore! You're not allowed to go to my house anymore. He hid it!"

"Dad, I..."

"I know what you are thinking, but His Majesty gave you this throne, so you should bear it. If, if Brother Tai is like this, your father and I may feel that your eldest brother is not worth it. The key is that he is not that In the early years, in order to stabilize the Holy Heart, your elder brother asked your sister-in-law to stay in Beijing with a few children, but look what she did to those two children! One is idle and the other is a coward. As small as a mouse, it can't even speak smoothly... Our Shen family can't withstand the wind and rain, and only these few seedlings are left..."

Looking at his father's sighing look, thinking that he was already in his sixties and still worried about his family, Mr. Shen felt more and more that he had no future. I can't do anything in literature and martial arts, and I can't afford anything. In the past, my eldest brother was here, but now that my eldest brother is gone, my father still has to work hard every day.

"You are sensible and good. Dad believes that you can continue to lead the Shen family until..." Ning Guogong did not say the rest.

Second Master Shen remained silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

At noon, a table was set up at Jingxin House, and Mrs. Shen left angrily. Ning Guogong personally told her not to call her, so no one dared to call her.

Mrs. Shen lost her temper in the courtyard of the main house. After scolding the cat and bird, she scolded the servant again before she went into the house angrily.

"Nowadays they are paying less and less attention to us!"

Hearing this, Miss Shen San, who was sitting on the big Kang under the window, raised her head helplessly and glanced at her.

The eldest family has five children in total, three daughters and two sons. The eldest girl and the second girl have already married, and now their children are very big. The third child is a brother and the eldest son and grandson of the Shen family. He is seventeen years old and his name is Shen Tai. In fact, there was a brother before Shen Tai, but he died in just a few months.

Below Shen Tai is Miss Shen San, who is fourteen years old. At the bottom is a young son, who is the daughter of a concubine of Uncle Shen, who is twelve years old.

Miss Shen San was born fair and pure, like a white magnolia in bud. She did not look like Mrs. Shen, but she took after the good looks of the Shen family.

"Mom, don't think too much. No one in the family doesn't take us seriously." Miss Shen San didn't want to speak at first, but it was obvious that her mother was so angry that she couldn't do anything without persuading her.

Mrs. Shen was about to say something when Shen Tai, who was sitting in the armchair next to her, spoke, "They didn't take us seriously at all, and it's not just a day or two."

These words made Miss Shen frown: "Brother, please don't add fuel to the fire. I don't think anyone dislikes us. Our grandparents, uncles, and aunts all treat us very well, even the brothers in the second room." My sister treats us with respect, don't you feel guilty for saying this, you have to make the whole family uneasy to be happy?"

Shen Tai raised his eyebrows, took a sip on the ground and said, "Dancing with your brother, right? You must have been blinded by lard. This should be our family, this should be my position, but now it has become The Lord gave it to him, so he should accept it. But do you think he accepted it shamelessly? My grandfather is stupid. Don’t think about buying me with just three melons and two dates!”

Miss Shen San looked at her elder brother spitting on the ground with some disgust, and a feeling of sadness came to her heart.

Her father can be considered a hero, but he raised a son like this, but who should he blame? Blame her mother? She had been raised by her mother since she was a child, and she had watched helplessly how hard it was for Mrs. Shen to raise several children alone in Beijing.

In fact, I don't blame my grandfather for not moving towards the eldest brother. The key is that the eldest brother is too disappointing, and Brother Tong was abandoned by her mother.

"Okay, okay, why are you arguing! You usually stay home, but you quarrel with your sister as soon as you get home. Get out of here and don't hinder your mother's eyes here!" Mrs. Shen suddenly scolded.

"You think I'm willing to quarrel with her?!" Shen Tai muttered, then licked his face and laughed, "Mom, I don't have any money to spend, so give me some."

Today, for the first time in her life, her son was in her yard. Mrs. Shen knew that something was wrong, and it turned out to be true.

"Where have you spent all the money you have in your hands all day long? You care about your mother asking for money every day, and treat your mother like a mountain of gold and silver!" With such curses in her mouth, Mrs. Shen still asked the girl to go to the room to get the money. . Upon seeing this, Miss Shen San quickly said: "Mom, don't give him any money, brother is out gambling every day!"

Mrs. Shen frowned and looked at her son: "Are you gambling with others outside?"

Shen Tai glared at his sister and then said: "Mom, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. I'm just socializing with my friends. Every time I go out, people always spend money. It's not a problem. I always have to invite you back twice." You have lost the name of Ningguo Palace."

"Your grandfather didn't want his family to be in the limelight outside."

Shen Tai said impatiently: "Others are confused, so are you? If I don't make some friends, how can I do things outside in the future? Your Majesty, he pretends to be stupid and doesn't do errands for our family, and our family is just like this all the time?" Counting on this empty hat to survive, the title of Ning Guogong only brings a salary per year, which is not enough for the family. I don’t see that the government has been reducing expenses recently..."

Seeing the girl come out with the silver, he took it and put it into his arms. He also muttered something about how he was dissatisfied that the silver was too small, only two hundred taels. Before Mrs. Shen could say anything, he ran away.

Miss Shen San looked at his back angrily, then looked at Mrs. Shen: "Mom, you just spoil him!"

"Okay, your brother is right, you are just a little girl, don't meddle in adults' business." Her son knew very well. Of course Mrs. Shen knew what her son was doing outside, and she didn't want to kill this person on her own. Prince Ningguo's hat fell on the head of the eldest family.

Upon hearing this, Miss Shen San became angry, threw the book in her hand, and left.

Now that the months are getting older, her body is getting heavier and heavier, but Yao Niang does not dare to imitate the laziness before, but begins to increase her activity.

She would take a walk every day after meals, both to digest food and to strengthen herself.

After the banquet at Jingxin Residence, Mrs. Ning Guogong went to take a lunch break. Princess Jin and Yaoniang would not leave until dinner, so Mrs. Shen Er prepared a room for them to rest.

Yao Niang still remembered that there was not enough activity today, so she took Yu Chan to the back garden.

Ningguo Gong's Mansion may seem cold, but the garden is well-kept. It's spring when flowers are blooming, and the garden is lush and lush. All the flowers that match the solar terms are in bloom. From time to time, butterflies flutter around, picking lightly on the stamens. honey.

Yao Niang walked in the garden in the shade, and as a breeze blew, her nose was filled with fragrance.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath and exhale again, feeling as if she was as light as a swallow. She and Yu Chan were walking along the path, talking in low voices from time to time, when a young man walked towards them.

This young man walked over here, weighing things in his hands, mumbling something, and looking carefree, quite a bit arrogant.

Yao Niang subconsciously looked up and was about to step aside when the man suddenly stopped and walked around in front of Yao Niang.

"Oh, I didn't realize that there could be such a beautiful girl in this house." This person's appearance is not bad, but his demeanor and eyes are disgusting.

Yu Chan scolded: "Bold, where are you from?"

The man answered the question unintentionally: "Young master, let me touch this little white-faced boy to see if it is slippery or tender..." While his mouth was unclean, he began to move his hands and feet.
