The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Men and women sat at separate tables, while children were looked after by wet nurses at a separate table.

Shi Yao didn't know where to sit, so she followed the lady. The lady pointed to the seat on the right and said to her, "Yao girl, come sit next to me."

Shi Yao refused twice, and finally, amid the lady's laughter, she sat down firmly with an uneasy expression on her face.

Shi Mingzhu arrived just as the banquet was about to begin. The four brothers Shi Mingkui, Shi Mingying, Shi Mingmo and Shi Mingchen went to pick her up personally.

Although she was wearing thick clothes, she still had a graceful figure. She walked slowly and elegantly, holding the hands of two maids, looking frail and weak.

The moment she appeared in Ganlu Hall, everyone stood up.

Shi Yao thought it was some kind of ceremony and stood up nervously and bewilderedly, thinking to herself, Aunt Liu Hua didn't mention this.

The lady hurriedly said, "Zhuzhu, didn't I tell you to eat in your room? Why didn't you listen? I told you to come and see me after dinner, but you had to go through all the trouble to make this trip! It's windy outside, come quickly, come to Grandmother!"

Shi Mingzhu bowed to the elders, brothers and sisters-in-law in the hall.

He took a few quick steps and came in front of the lady. She was already panting and trembling from exhaustion, with beads of sweat on her forehead. Her frail body seemed unable to support the heavy clothes and was a little shaky.

The lady held her in her arms, calling her her darling and her sweetheart, feeling so distressed.

Shi Yao was embarrassed and wiped the three drops of sweat from her forehead.

She thought something was wrong.

Look, this is the display of a precious jewel in the palm of your hand. All the men and women in the room stood up in unison and saluted.

The last time it was so grand was when the national flag was raised and the national anthem was sung in my previous life.

Shi Mingzhu took a moment to calm down and said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma are kind, but I dare not be disrespectful. Today is the reunion festival, everyone is here, how can I not be here? Please rest assured, elders, there is no problem. On the contrary, I am happy to celebrate the festival and eat with everyone, and this illness will go away faster."

The old Duke hid his worries and smiled kindly, "Since you are here, please sit down. Third daughter-in-law, ask them to heat the floor heater a little hotter, so Zhuzhu won't get cold. Everyone, please sit down, don't stand."

The third wife, Rong, who was attacked by Shi Yao, stood up and responded, "Yes. Zhuzhu, please sit down." Then she called her daughter-in-law Gong Xuan and ordered her to go outside to pass on the message.

Gong Xuan originally sat with everyone, but after hearing her mother-in-law's instructions, she had no choice but to go out and run errands.

Madam Lashi Mingzhu sat in the first seat on her left, and the eldest wife Zheng willingly moved one seat lower.

Shi Mingzhu bowed slightly and said, "My daughter has overstepped her bounds and wronged her mother."

Zheng glanced at Shi Yao, looking at her daughter with both heartache and pride: "What's there to be wronged about? As long as you can make the old lady happy, you are fulfilling your filial piety for me and your father. It doesn't matter where mother sits."

Shi Mingzhu smiled brightly, lighting up the room, and turned around to ask the lady about her well-being.

The grandparents and grandchildren talked affectionately.

Shi Yao secretly glanced at Rong beside her, and really couldn't say "the daughter is overstepping her authority and has wronged her mother", so she just sat there angrily.

She was not annoyed because of anything else, but because of her brothers, who looked back and forth between her and Shi Mingzhu, and finally looked at her with eyes full of disgust and contempt.

Pooh!

What's comparable?

She grew up in the countryside, and in terms of her overall demeanor and elegant aristocratic manner, she is certainly not as good as Shi Mingzhu.

If you have the ability, you useless brothers should compete with the princes in the palace in terms of nobility.

If they have the guts, they can act like rich young masters in front of the Emperor, the Crown Prince, Zhou Shao, Zhou Xu and others!

Everyone sat down and pricked up their ears when the lady asked about Shi Mingzhu's illness.

Shi Mingzhu smiled and replied, "It's all right now, but please don't let me ruin your New Year's Eve mood."

The men smiled with relief, while the women were more sentimental, with tears of relief in their eyes.

Shi Yao's acting skills have reached perfection now. She doesn't need to twist her thighs or wipe her tears with a ginger handkerchief. She just squeezes her tears to prevent them from falling. She holds the tears in her eyes and looks at Shi Mingzhu with satisfaction.

Shi Mingzhu glanced at her, her smile paused, and she felt uncomfortable. Shi Yao was really good at pretending. She obviously hated her to death, but she pretended to care about her a lot to win the favor of her relatives.

In the eyes of others, the fact that the lady ignored Shi Yao and hugged Shi Mingzhu and rubbed her was a sign that Shi Yao was not as favored as Shi Mingzhu.

But in Shi Mingzhu's eyes, the lady's unusual concern and enthusiasm were a sign of guilt. She felt guilty for pampering Shi Yao these days, so she doubled her efforts to show kindness and make up for it.

Shi Mingzhu secretly hated her own weak health. Less than two months later, she allowed Shi Yao to coax the lady to give her the seat on the right.

Such honor and grace belonged to her alone.

Now it was forcibly cut into two halves, and one half was given to Shi Yao.

Shi Mingzhu's bright eyes dimmed slightly, and her chest felt tight. She talked to the lady for a long time before she smiled and said, as if she had come to her senses:

"I was so busy talking to my grandmother that I neglected my second sister. She looked so radiant today and was dressed so festively."

Someone sneered softly.

Obviously, the word "indifferent" made Shi Yao lose face and made some people feel happy.

Shi Yao suddenly turned around and caught Shi Mingwei, Shi Mingmo and Shi Mingchen sneering at her.

Shi Mingwei was nonchalant and raised his eyebrows at her provocatively. Then he received the cold glare from the Duke of Zhenguo and lowered his head quickly. He was angry because he had lost his momentum in front of Shi Yao.

Shi Mingmo took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid and wiped his hands as if nothing had happened.

Shi Mingchen touched his nose and turned his face to the screen on the side.

Shi Yao then smiled and said, "Grandma and I have been together for so long, and my elder sister has not come out for a long time. Now that she has finally come out, I should return my grandmother to her.

Although my elder sister said that she ignored me, I was happy in my heart. At least she remembered me. But she didn't even look at others like my eldest brother and his wife, my second brother and his wife, my sixth brother and my seventh brother.

It can be seen that among all the brothers and sisters, the eldest sister misses me the most! Big sister, now that I know your feelings, I will no longer be embarrassed and will definitely visit you more often in Lanpeiyuan. "

Shi Mingzhu: “…”

He is so good at climbing up a pole, maybe he was a monkey in his previous life?

The people who were left out: "..."

Shi Mingmo and Shi Mingchen both blushed.

Shi Yao skipped over her other brothers and sisters-in-law and specifically called out their names in retaliation for their sneering laughter just now.

This girl is so petty, she holds grudges over the smallest things!

Shi Mingchen pouted in his heart: Shi Yao is so shameless. Zhuzhu singled her out and ignored her. It is obvious that she treated her as a guest and others as her own family, but she is trying to flatter herself!
