Yan Shiba lowered her head and said nothing, and accepted some grievances. Who asked her son to strive for success, and she had to rely on her husband to find a good family for her daughter. It was her duty to please her mother-in-law, so there was no reason to enjoy it in vain.
…
The business in Jieyi Building is not booming at this time. The girls are all resting. Occasionally, those who pick up customers are also doing small business. Those who are still fooling around outside at this time are either prodigal or unpromising. The girls deal with it superficially.
Shangji changed into regular clothes and sat in the embroidery building. Her hands were soaked in water sprinkled with flower petals to nourish the calluses born from practicing pipa. Her long hair was spread over her shoulders. There was no decoration on her black hair, but she still felt
Damage her youthful appearance.
At this time, the door opened with a creak. Shangji did not look back, but said in a lazy and soft voice: "Why does it take so long for the hot water to boil? Please add some ointment to my finger. It hurts." [
A pair of thick palms stretched out, pinched some petals and said in a rich and doting voice: "Adding more flowers is good for the skin."
Shangji raised his head, his eyes full of surprise: "Why are you here?" The simple and clean eyes were not as sophisticated as the fireworks woman, but rather delicate and pitiful: "I thought... you weren't coming." Shangji then felt lonely.
He lowered his head, took his hand out of the basin, and looked at her sadly.
She was wronged and thought he would come to see her in the next few days. Who knew that she waited eagerly for a long time but did not see him show up? She thought he had stopped saying the stupid things Duan Jingjin said and disliked her. She was frightened for several days. Now,
Seeing that he finally came, I was happy, but I immediately thought of my own grievances and refused to pay attention to him.
When Yang Houwang saw this, the doting in his eyes deepened. He took out a piece of crystal clear beauty from his waist and said with a smile: "I heard that the lady loves jade, so I specifically looked for this thing, so I came a few days late. I don't know if the girl is satisfied with it."
Hou Wang looked at her with a smile and turned her head, accepting the gift with a slight complaint and laughing through tears.
Yang Houwang is twenty-six years old this year, which is a very high-spirited age. Now he is making a difference in the court, and his future is bright. It is said that people are in high spirits when happy events happen. Yang Houwang's already good appearance is even more high-spirited, and he is blocked by his official career.
I have become more restrained and mature, and I no longer have the mentality of a teenager who likes to shout about everything.
It is no secret that he likes Shangji in the industry. Shangji is smart and good at playing the pipa. The first time he met her was on the way to accompany his mother to offer incense. At that time, the peach blossoms were beautiful and the breeze was blowing. She stood in the peach blossom forest and smiled.
Yan was so beautiful and pure. He did not deny that he was a little lucky to find out her life experience, and he was more willing to work on her.
Shang Ji smiled. No matter how shy she acted, she didn't dare to really offend Master Yang. What was her identity? Although she could be willful sometimes, she would offend too much. She was the best benefactor at present. She was a fool: "Young Master Yang is here."
To listen to the piano?" Shangji raised her little face and looked at him with pure eyes, she knew he liked it.
Yang Houwang thought of business and watched Shang Ji's unobvious flattery, and felt relieved. Didn't he know that he was the most valued among all those who pursued Shang Ji? Because of this, he was willing to satisfy Shang Ji's wishes and just waited.
She took the initiative and said, "Good thing, tomorrow is Su Shuijian's mother's 60th birthday. Please come and play a song."
Shang Ji was so shocked when he heard this that he even forgot to play with the jade pendant in his hand to win the favor of the gift giver: "Mr. Su?" The young and accomplished top craftsman of the General Office of Water Conservancy?! The one who has only been in the limelight in Shengdu for two years?
A limited official!? I heard that he is still unmarried because of the emperor, but despite this, he is still the man that the unmarried women in Shengdu most want to marry.
Yang Houwang waited patiently for Shangji to come to his senses. Su Shuijian had a high prestige due to his confusing relationship with the emperor. In addition, he did not make friends with others and rarely had family activities. This time, Mrs. Su only invited Mrs. Su to celebrate her birthday.
It is an honor for several of his close ministers to be invited by Mr. Su. He doesn't mind showing this honor here because he really likes her.
Shangji was so happy. If she was lucky enough to play a piece for Mrs. Su and get her praise, who would dare to disrespect her in the future and... she would also increase the bargaining chip to stay in the Yang family. Shangji's eyebrows even smiled.
I think Young Master Yang's eyes definitely showed affection for the first time, but he asked cautiously: "Can I go?"
Yang Houwang nodded.
Shangji's smile instantly brightened, she resisted the urge to hug him, and happily played with her fingers. She was lucky enough to meet Mr. Su, which would be enough for her in the future.
Yang Houwang seemed to complain that you thought she was not happy enough and said: "Master Su did not invite any female relatives this time. If you perform well, maybe..."
Shangji's eyes were flushed with emotion. How could she not understand what kind of opportunity Mr. Yang gave her? If she could get Mrs. Su's love, she would never be a prostitute that everyone could despise in the future.
No one will ever say that she grew up in a place that brought shame to her ancestors.
Shang Ji cried. She used to think that Yang Houwang liked her just because she was pretty, so there was no real intention. But now, she vaguely felt that Yang Houwang was different from others. He really liked her and would consider her.
I made plans for her, knew that I cared about my identity, and kept it in mind.
Shangji was moved and wiped her tears. She felt that it was worthwhile to be liked by Yang Houwang in this life. How could she not be tempted by such an outstanding man? In the past, she had no choice but to make dates because she was afraid of getting hurt in the future.
Now she felt that enough was enough. Even if she couldn't stand up because of this, Yang Houwang brought her heart like this, and she felt that she regretted falling in love.
Yang Houwang looked at her without saying a word. He liked this woman and she deserved better. Although she was a little unruly and willful, she could always affect his few emotions. I believe that his wife would also like such a woman who treated her so well.
Damn my sister, thinking of this, Yang Houwang decided to ask Shiba to come over tomorrow to help Shangji choose clothes for the birthday banquet, so as to avoid Shangji's improper consideration.[
…
A big event happened in Shengdu today. The eldest princess entered the emperor's study room and was rewarded with many good things. When the eldest princess came out of the palace, she was beaming and so harmonious as she had never been before. The latest chapter of The Step by Step in Another World.
Even after returning home, he threw away all the dowry originally prepared for the princess, replaced it with a solid gold dowry, and gave the few shops he had the most money to give to his daughter.
When the husband's family of the princess heard about this, they quickly increased the betrothal gift. The uncle came to see her off in person. After talking with the future mother-in-law for a long time, she came out very respectful, which caused a lot of discussion in Shengdu!
The eldest princess has turned over!
The eldest princess is originally the emperor's biological sister. How can there be much hatred between biological siblings? No matter how inhuman the emperor is, he will not attack his biological sister! Forgetful people have long forgotten how ruthless the emperor was when he attacked his brothers!
The second princess looked a little strange. Last time her father passed away, the eldest sister and her sixth brother were very unhappy. Who doesn't know the temper of the sixth brother? How could he suddenly become good to the eldest sister?
After the second prince-in-law heard that something had happened, he immediately abandoned his official duties and rushed back. His honest appearance was even more cautious, and he was tremblingly trying to find out something from his wife.
As a result, he found that his wife didn't know either, and he had no idea who the emperor was. Even if his sister, friend and brother Gong were acting on a whim, this 'momentary' change would be enough for many people to die after choosing the wrong side!
The second consort took a deep breath and quietly looked at his gentle, noble and elegant wife. She shouldn't have doubted his intentions?
Yan Naiyu looked at her husband worriedly at this time.
The second prince-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down, poured her a cup of tea diligently, and blew the tea leaves before she dared to hand it to the second princess.
Yan Naiyu didn't notice anything was different. Her husband was always so considerate to her, but he just said in confusion: "How did you ask for the reward for the eldest sister? Why did the emperor give her such a big face? How could the house be so valuable?
Give it! No! I want to go to the palace." He put the teacup on the table and stood up.
"Princess, sit down first." When the two princes heard this, they felt happy and worried at the same time. The happy part was that the wife was the emperor's biological sister. If the emperor was kind to the princesses, he would benefit from it. The second prince-in-law was worried about the little thoughts he had.
It's okay to lie to his wife, but he will definitely not be able to hide it from the emperor. I'm afraid he will be castrated by the emperor's order before he can enjoy the blessing: "Madam, why don't you ask the eldest sister first?"
When Yan Naiyu heard what her husband said, she felt calm in her heart. She might get into trouble once she saw the emperor's character. It was better to talk to the eldest sister. Just as Yan Naiyu was about to get up, the messenger had already arrived at a trot: "
The second princess, the prince-in-law, and the eldest princess are here!"
The second prince-in-law's loyal face suddenly became a little horrified: "What!" What was she doing here? But he immediately returned to normal and said to the second princess: "I'm afraid the eldest sister is here to talk to you, so go quickly."
Yan Naiyu was surprised when she heard the words, but she didn't think much about it. The prince-in-law had a misunderstanding about the second sister before, but I'm afraid it has been resolved now. That's fine, she didn't want the two closest relatives to have no contact with each other over some trivial matter.
Yan Naiyu was about to greet her, and just as the second prince consort was about to run away, he heard the resolute laughter of the eldest princess: "Hey! Where are the second prince consort going? Could it be that he felt guilty when he saw me coming?"
Seeing this, Yan Naiyu went up to greet him, but did not take the eldest princess's words at ease. The eldest sister did not like the second prince-in-law for a day or two. He just thought that the eldest sister was sarcastic about the second prince-in-law as usual: "Naiyu would like to send my greetings to the eldest sister."
The second prince-in-law's expression changed, and he had to turn around to salute, but he was a little nervous in his heart. The eldest princess had just made peace with the emperor, why couldn't he wait to come to his house? He didn't think that the eldest princess and the second princess were so close to each other.
The situation, could it be...
The second prince-in-law was a little panicked, but he straightened his back in an instant. Didn't he just come to the second princess's property to manage it himself? What's wrong with that? Even the eldest princess couldn't say that he had done anything wrong! Between their husband and wife, there was nothing wrong with him.
It's not wrong to touch the princess's dowry. As long as the uncertain emperor doesn't interfere, he is sure to be invincible!
The eldest princess helped the second sister up, and looked at the second prince-in-law with a sneer. Although she and the second sister were not really close friends, it was still their own business. Maybe there was this damn bitch man who instigated it, which ruined her loyal appearance.
