Chapter Thirty-ninth: Family Affairs in the Shen Mansion

Shen Zhaoning didn't take it seriously and said: "She's just a girl, not a serious wife and concubine. You are too flattering to them."

Chuntao Chunxing is the eldest girl next to Shen Zhaoning. Because Shen Zhaoning has grown up now and is not married yet, Mrs. Shen took the initiative to raise the two of her as Shen Zhaoning's in order to have someone around her son who knows how to be hot and cold. The girl in the same room.

This is a bad habit of aristocratic families. Before getting married, the young master would usually have two girls serving him in his room. After getting married, they would be promoted to concubines, or sent out for the sake of the wife's good looks.

The Shen Mansion is no exception. The mansion also has its own rules: in order to show respect for the legitimate wife, before getting married, they will either let the first-in-law and her family out of the house, or accompany her with a large dowry to marry her off. In short, before the legitimate wife enters the house , the son’s room is absolutely clean and will not embarrass his wife, who will also make the final arrangements for the concubines in the future.

The same was true for Father Shen back then. However, because he and Mrs. Shen got along well as husband and wife and Mrs. Shen was able to have children, he did not take any more concubines.

It's just that the unwritten rules of the Shen Mansion finally broke in the hands of Shen Qiujun.

Because the Shen brothers and sisters have a very good relationship, Shen Qiujun is also very familiar with his brother's girls.

Chuntao and Chunxing have become the common girls, so the boudoir lady Shen Qiujun should stay away from them.

After all, they have been in love for many years, and Shen Qiujun also likes the virtuous and decent nature of the two of her. If his words please her, he will treat them as normal.

According to her previous life, Chuntao should be pregnant in another six months.

Father Shen did not interfere with the affairs of the back house. Although Shen Zhaoning had blood, his face became even more gloomy.

Because the girl in charge of the relationship will be sent away in the future, she will drink the soup every time.

Chuntao was actually pregnant, and it was only discovered after she was three months pregnant that her fetus was stable. It was obvious that she was thoughtful. Now it was okay whether the fetus was retained or not.

The Shen Mansion treats its first-in-commands very carefully, so even though the head wife chooses them, they won't force them, they must do so voluntarily.

Chuntao knew that she could not stay, but she secretly got pregnant, which shows that she was a scheming person. For the sake of her son's future peace in the family, Mrs. Shen wanted to get rid of the fetus and send Chuntao away.

But she was really reluctant to let go of the piece of meat in Chuntao's belly. For a grandmother, no matter whose belly the son was born from, as long as it was the flesh and blood of the son, he would always be her grandson.

At this time, Chuntao was in front of Shen Qiujun.

Shen Qiujun, who is fashionable in the boudoir, has not yet realized what a thorn in the side his eldest son is to his legitimate wife.

In her eyes, he was just a servant giving birth to a son. If he liked it, he would raise it close to him. If he didn't like it, he would send him away far away. The family property would not be shared with him, just like raising a cat or dog would not cost a human life. After all, he is the second brother’s flesh and blood.

Shen Qiujun saw that his mother was still worried: should she abort the fetus directly and send Chuntao away? Or should she wait until Chuntao gave birth to the child and then send her away.

So he suggested: "Let Chuntao go to a village far away to give birth. Our family can't afford it! If Chuntao gives birth to a child and is willing to leave, give her a sum of money. If she is willing to watch over the child, she will give her a monthly salary." Just give her some money and food."

Mrs. Shen then took the opportunity to send Chuntao to Zhuangzi, but no one was allowed to mention it again!

Later, when she heard that Chuntao had given birth to a son, Shen Qiujun didn't take it seriously. Later, she had a second sister-in-law and a nephew, and she forgot about the mother and son even earlier.

But Shen Zhaoning could forget the roommate he slept with, but he couldn't ignore his flesh and blood. Especially when the child grew up to look like him, he felt a little soft in his heart and couldn't help but care about him.

Now that I see Chuntao staying at Zhuangzi without any regrets and guarding her son for so many years, and remembering their past relationship, I can no longer think of her as dead.

Shen Zhaoning's legitimate wife was also a noble girl. Although she didn't take the mother and son seriously, she was always unhappy in her heart.

Later, for some reason, I heard that all this was Shen Qiujun's handiwork. She couldn't bear to see her sister-in-law marrying her brother-in-law as her stepmother. This made the estrangement even deeper.

Shen Qiujun was not afraid of offending her future second sister-in-law, but thinking of the battle of wits and courage with the concubines in her previous life, she had no good impression of them at all. Since Chuntao had become a concubine that day, she should have known that she would not be able to become a concubine. , partial people are not enough, so naturally we should stay away from them in this life.

Shen Qiujun still sternly rejected his brother's kindness, and said: "After all, I am a girl who has not left the court. I will not let them go to my place in the future. Even if I have something to do, I will just send the little girls and mothers-in-law, that is, the young wives." It also makes people in the house forget about it."

Shen Zhaoning no longer persisted, and when he saw his sister saying those harsh words, he suspected that it was Chuntao and his wife who said some embarrassing words to their sister that were not suitable for a girl, and he felt dissatisfied with her in his heart.

He secretly thought in his heart: Chuntao and his wife would have to be sent away sooner or later. Seeing that they had been waiting by his side for a long time, they might not have some ideas, so it would be better to send them away as early as possible!

Mrs. Shen was in the small study at this time, telling her husband about Xiao Guishan.

After hearing this, Father Shen felt that although the price charged by that family was a bit high, it was still considered ancestral property. It was inappropriate to deal with it hastily. Besides, it was not that the family couldn't come up with the money, so he said, "I'll let the steward go tomorrow." Let’s discuss the price, if it can be lowered it would be best, no matter what, buy it.”

Mrs. Shen knew that her husband would definitely agree, so she expressed her inner plan again: "Looking at Qiu'er's situation, I really like it. Why not just give it to Qiu'er, just like fighting fire with poison and fire with fire." !”

The daughter is also from the Shen family, so it is not too much to give Xiao Guishan to her daughter. His wife's method also makes sense, so Father Shen nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Shen smiled again and said: "It's only ten thousand taels of silver anyway. This property will all belong to the Ying'er brothers in the future. Why don't I use my private house and use it as a dowry for Qiu'er? They don't think so." Say no."

Father Shen shook his head and said with a smile: "Your dowry will be divided equally among your children in the future. That's all. Take another ten thousand taels. When the time comes to share the dowry, you can use the public money if you are poor or not."

Mrs. Shen couldn't help but look at her husband angrily and said, "What you are saying is as if I didn't have much dowry when I got married! If you really think about it, without you as the Marquis, my dowry can make us, mother and son rich." Live a prosperous life!"

"Stop it now! She's an old lady, and she's still showing off her dowry. She's not afraid of being laughed at by her children!" Father Shen looked at his old wife and said with a smile, then said seriously: "I'm still the head of this family, how can it be that one or two thousand taels? The owner of the money still can't do it, and my sons and wives are unhappy, so let them come and talk to me!"

Mrs. Shen sighed, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and said: "I'm not worried about Ning'er. He really hurts Qiu'er to the core. Even if he gives Qiu'er his share of the property, he is still willing. It’s just that it’s hard to tell about Ying’er… If Qiu’er hadn’t reacted quickly back then, I’m afraid he would have killed him with his sword…”

Father Shen thought of the events of the past year and couldn't help but said sternly: "As a son, can you still control what I want to do? This matter is settled like this. I want to use the public money to let Qiu'er spend it happily. I think he dares to say a word of no!"

Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled her husband to persuade her with a smile: "Please keep your voice down, Ning'er Qiu'er is still talking outside, be careful not to let them hear!"
