When Huanzhu and Zhenghai came back from school, they were overjoyed to see that there was a younger brother in pink makeup and jade at home.Take out your own toys and candies to him, and the three children will get to know each other in a while.After dinner, Lianzhou chased Zhenghai in the living room and asked for the kaleidoscope in his hand, shaking his little hands and shouting, "Brother, brother!" Huanzhu snatched the kaleidoscope and handed it to him, and then he hugged Huanzhu and kissed him on the face .Jingxian looked at the three children from a distance in the restaurant with complicated expressions.Xiaozhen persuaded her softly, "It's sister and brother after all, so we're just being close." Jingxian glared at her, "Come with me, I have something to ask you." Xian took her all the way to the row of houses with upturned eaves under the courtyard wall, and untied the key in her waist with shaking hands to open the door.Although Xiaozhen had never entered it before, she knew that it was the Shen family's ancestral hall. When she stepped over the threshold, she felt her legs go weak.

"Your Majesty!"

Xiaozhen hurriedly bowed her head and knelt down.

Jingxian asked, "Where's the new jade bracelet I gave you during the Chinese New Year?" The bracelet was just given to that woman, and since she asked this, it can be seen that Jingxian knew about it.Xiaozhen understood that this was offending her grandma, so she didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"I gave the bracelet and a pair of gold earrings to Lianzhou's mother, and there are ten yuan."

Jingxian snorted coldly, "My Shen family is very rich, even my aunt is such a handy way to reward people. If someone sends another son and a half daughter to the family tomorrow, I'm afraid I have to fill in my jewelry as a reward. Even the sisters It's all talking, I don't know when the family has grown up, and your uncle has found many good people outside, and they are all overcrowded to serve me right now, so get more sisters Come, we will be clean only if it takes my life."

Xiaozhen was dripping with cold sweat, she couldn't even kneel down, she kowtowed her head and dared not get up again.She was flustered and knew that what she did today was not right, but since she entered Shen's house, because she didn't understand the rules, she had caused many misfortunes, large and small. Teach her how to do things.Last time she cut the foreign fabric sent by Zhaoquan, afraid that Jingxian would tell her, and lied that Zhaoquan made the wrong size.Jingxian taught her a lesson with a cold face, and threatened her that if she lied again, she would be slapped. She was terrified, so she just cried and begged for a while.He didn't hide anything from her today, so why did he get so angry that even the ancestral hall was opened.Xiaozhen knelt down on the ground, she didn't know whether she was crying or scared, but she kept trembling and didn't dare to speak.For fear of saying a wrong word, the family law will immediately come to the fore.But someone outside knocked gently on the door, and it was Zhenghai who said outside: "Little brother has been crying, and I can't coax him well." He didn't dare to enter the door, and whispered outside, "I didn't bully him, and Huanzhu didn't bully him either." No." Jing Xian knew that it was because the child was tired from playing and fell asleep, so she wanted to go out to have a look, Xiao Zhen also got up in a hurry and wanted to go out, but the grandma's eyes shot over like knives, she was startled and knelt down again , dare not move again.

Jingxian went out of the ancestral hall and asked Zhenghai: "Second master hasn't come back yet?" Zhenghai replied: "I'm back, studying in the study." Jingxian paused: "Have you and Huanzhu done your homework?" Zhenghai panicked Get up, "No, no. I've been teasing my little brother, and I haven't done my homework yet. I'll ask Huanzhu to go to the study together." Jingxian said coldly, "If you don't do your homework, you won't be allowed to eat. Next time, the two of you Pay attention to all of them!"

Sure enough, the child was tired of playing and wanted to go to bed, but when it was time to go to bed, he thought of his mother.Lian Zhou sat on the ground, kicking her legs and crying loudly, "I want to go home, I want my mother, I want to go home." Huanzhu stood aside and didn't know what to do. For a while, neither dolls nor maltose would work. , the little brother just cried.Jingxian went over, hugged Lianzhou in her arms and patted, "Lian Zhou is good, mother is here, mother is holding her, hugging her to sleep." While patting and coaxing, the child was tired from crying and fell asleep in her arms up.Jingxian hugged him, and realized that she hadn't had time to arrange a room for Lianzhou, so she had to carry the child to her bed.

As soon as Zhaoshi came back, seeing the kid who looked exactly like his elder brother, he understood a little bit, asked the little girl Wenjin to ask a few questions, and then stopped talking.He knew that it was his sister-in-law's heart knot, and he had no right to talk about it anyway, so he had to go back to the room to study his homework honestly.When eating in the evening, Jingxian's complexion was very bad, but she didn't see Xiaozhen serving at the side, but the eldest girl Sangzhi was replaced.Zhaoshi felt strange, but he didn't dare to inquire.After dinner, he gave Jing Xian his homework as usual. Jing Xian was afraid of waking Zheng Xiang's child who was sleeping on the bed, so she closed the door and sat in the living room on the second floor to read.Jingxian closed the book, "That's all for you, Zhenghai and Huanzhu, you should pay more attention to it. If it wasn't for Lianzhou getting tired and crying, the two of them would still be having a good time. You are the second uncle. He didn't even care about it. Although Zhaoshi felt that his sister-in-law was a bit demanding, he didn't dare to argue, and only agreed, "Yes, I won't do it next time. "Just as she was talking, she heard the child crying in the room, Jingxian dropped the book, turned around and ran back to the room. Zhaoshi was standing in the living room in a dilemma. He didn't dare to leave without asking for leave, worried that Jingxian still had something to say, He didn't know whether to follow him to the room, or to stand there and wait. After being dazed for a while, he went to Jingxian's room. Lianzhou lay in Jingxian's arms, and murmured in a daze, "Mother , Mother, I need to pee. "Jingxian hugged him, looked left and right, and went to the bathroom. Zhaoshi hurriedly unscrewed the doorknob for her, wondering where Xiaozhen went.

Lianzhou sticks to Jingxian's body and refuses to let go, Jingxian has no choice but to find someone to call Xiaozhen back.He was about to call Sangzhi, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the girls would know that Xiaozhen was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall, which would embarrass him too much, and he could not let the children look for him, so he ordered Zhaoshi: "Go to the ancestral hall and call Auntie return."

Zhaoshi heard that Xiaozhen was in the ancestral hall, and wondered for a long time what he was doing in the ancestral hall because it was not a year or a festival.When I went in, I saw Xiaozhen shivering and kneeling on the ground, and was startled, "What do you mean, why are you kneeling here!" When Xiaozhen saw that it was Zhaoshi, her face flushed with shame, and she didn't speak.Zhaoshi didn't respond yet, and still asked anxiously: "Why didn't you speak? What did you do wrong to make my sister-in-law so angry?" Xiaozhen saw that he was really anxious, so she had to grit her teeth and say, "Second Lord knows It's a matter of shame, so there's no need to ask." At this moment, Zhaoshi realized that he was a little impulsive: "I'm sorry, I was rude, you get up quickly, my sister-in-law asked me to call you back."

Xiaozhen knelt for a long time, struggling for a long time, unable to get up, Zhaoshi stretched out his hand to help, Xiaozhen shivered, "Second Master, don't!" Then he said: "If you see someone injured on the road, do you still want to die because you are a woman?" Xiaozhen glanced at him, as if to thank him for saving her life, and reminded, "Grandma I'm not happy today, Second Master should be more careful." Zhaoshi laughed, "It's too late for you to remind me now. But you tell me why, so that I will be a sensible ghost even after I die." Xiao Zhen Sighing, "Didn't I find it for the child's mother? I said a few good things for that woman, which caused the taboo of the grandma." The two walked on the path in the garden, Xiaozhen kept bowing behind Zhaoshi At the head, Zhaoshi stopped suddenly at this moment, turned around and said: "You have been wronged, but don't blame sister-in-law. A person like her will end up competing with the women in the hall for men and sons. It’s not fun.” Xiaoxin thought to himself, you are such a young man, you actually understand this.Zhao Shishi saw Xiaozhen's heart and said: "Although I am young, there are many such things in books."

Xiaozhen stopped talking and followed Zhaoshi back silently.Xiaozhen frowned and entered the room, then knelt down at Jingxian's feet, lowered her head, her shoulders trembled, seeing that Jingxian's heart was throbbing with pain, she casually handed over the handkerchief, Asked, "I wronged you?" Xiaozhen shook her head and shook her lips, her eye circles were red again, and tears dripped down again. "Why are you crying if you are not wronged? I know that you have the thought of hurting others, and you may also blame me, the courtier, for treating my concubine coldly." Xiaozhen said sobbingly: "Xiaozhen Don’t dare.” Jingxian disagrees, “I don’t care if you blame me. That’s because you are confused! How have I treated you these past few years, don’t you know? Are you the same person as her? You are also me after all. The girl who came out of Gu's family compares herself with the nobles of Changsantangzi for no reason. It's not too shameful! Let me tell you, Xiaozhen. Now the uncle has abandoned her and never came back. She has nowhere to go. You came to our door after thinking about it. If the uncle hadn't been seduced by that dancing girl, they lived their lives like concubines, where are we going to cry? You count the days, you count, we Huanzhu are sick and have nowhere to go When I went to see the doctor, the woman was pregnant with her son."

Xiaozhen shuddered, because Huanzhu was sick and delayed treatment, and then he suffered from lifelong problems.She didn't dare to imagine the desperate eyes of a mother holding a daughter with a high fever, and suddenly felt that there was no redemption for her sins, and she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to kowtow heavily.Jingxian was in a state of confusion, and sighed, "Forget it, you've been kneeling for so long, get up. The child should settle down and sleep with me first, and I'm planning to arrange a room for him tomorrow, and choose a girl to take care of him."

Xiaozhen lay on the bed unable to sleep, rubbing her red and swollen knees with her hands.Jingxian had just sent someone to deliver the moxa sticks, she understood the meaning, thanked her, but put it aside to be useless, the smell made her unhappy.His mind was full of the situation when Zhaoshi went to the ancestral hall to find her today.She was very remorseful, let Zhaoshi see that she was punished to kneel, what a shameful thing it was; she was upset, why couldn't she send a girl to call her, let Zhaoshi go; she thought about everything, Zhaoshi said so There are many things in the book.which book is itWhat did the book say?There must be nothing good to say about a concubine like her.She has read Huanzhu's Chinese documents, as well as "Thousand Characters" and "Thousand Family Poems", but she has never seen such things in books.She tossed and turned, what did Zhao Shi mean by this?Was it a joke that she hadn't read anything?After thinking wildly, she finally became sleepy.

Jing Xian also had no sleep all night, she looked at Lian Zhou's small face, for a while, that face was clearly that of Shen Zhaosong when she was a child, pointing to the wisteria flowers on the shelf and saying, "Sister Xian likes it, I will pick it for you; for a while, That face was clearly Huanzhu again, she had a fever and her little face was flushed.It wasn't until the sky was already dark that she dozed off half-blindly.

Lian Zhou woke up, rubbed her furry head against Jing Xian, and asked, "Where is the sister who played with me yesterday?" .Jingxian squeezed his face with her hands: "Hey, sleep a little longer, mother asked someone to find my sister." Lianzhou pouted and quit: "You are not my mother, where is my mother?" Xian hugged him, and said softly, "I am your mother, and mother is here." Lianzhou shook her head, sat up and looked at Jingxian, "No, you are not my mother." Jingxian pursed her lips and thought for a while, Said to Lianzhou: "We are both your mother. Yesterday your mother said that she was tired and had to rest for a few days. Let you call me mother for a few days. When she rests, come and replace me." Lianzhou blinked She closed her eyes and asked, "When will she rest well?" Jing Xian smiled and said, "It's fine when you grow up to the height of your sister. Your mother said, you have to be good here and listen to my mother, and then she will Come on. She brought maltose for you when she came.” Lian Zhou smiled, “Tell me to my mother, I don’t want maltose. For the geese, I want an eagle. Well, I’ll ask my sister if she wants it later, or if she wants maltose, I ate all her candies yesterday.” Jing Xian was amused, the child was so chatty, coaxing him: "Well, mother knows, our Lianzhou wants an eagle kite. When my sister comes, ask her if she wants a kite or maltose."
