Chapter 9

"It's still great for grandma!"

In Tongyuan, when Chen Qingqing saw three boxes of jewelry placed on the table, she knew that her grandmother must have persuaded her grandfather.

"What's so great?" Shen Jiayi was still in the dark, not understanding why her grandmother called her.

Song explained with a smile: "Your grandfather finally said that from today, you sisters can dress up as much as they want. As long as you don't be as arrogant as the Zhang girl, your grandfather will no longer care about it."

"Really?" Shen Jiayi couldn't believe her ears! Women love beauty, and Shen Jiayi was no exception. Since she was a child, she envied the girls in Beppu who could dress up and show off. Sometimes she would envy and cry. She asked her mother for help, but her mother also dared not disobey her grandfather, so she and the sisters above were forced to "simple".

Song nodded: "Of course it's true."

When Shen Jiayi heard this, she screamed excitedly, and then hugged Chen Qingqing, which was even happier than the New Year.

The two sisters hugged each other for a while, then sat next to Song.

Song pushed a box of jewelry to the two little girls: "These are my dowry back then, they are all good things, but they may not keep up with the current fashion. Take it back and choose what you like to wear. If you don't like, you can get it to the jewelry store and re-made new tricks."

Shen Jiayi and Chen Qingqing looked at each other without moving. Chen Qingqing advised: "Since my grandfather doesn't care, let's keep it for myself. You are still young, and you will definitely like it after dressing up and dressing up."

This was a bit playful. Song smiled and said with regret: "Your grandfather just doesn't care about you, I have to continue to be sloppy."

She insisted on giving it to her, but the Chen Qingqing sisters had to accept it.

At this moment, Xiu'er came back from the big room, half gloating and half angrily said: "Auntie, I'll invite the fifth girl. The fifth girl is obviously very idle. I don't know what she muttered to the eldest lady. The eldest lady said that she had something to ask the fifth girl for help and refused to let anyone come."

Shen Jiayi looked at the third box on the table and said strangely: "They are the mother and daughter who are most jealous of money. Today, the grandmother is rewarded, why are they so noble again?"

Shen Jiayi lived in the capital for a long time and had the most dealings with the big house. He was very bored.

Xiu'er held back and said, "Does my aunt want to reward the fifth girl? I don't know. When the eldest lady asked, I had to tell the truth."

Shen Jiayi burst into laughter.

Chen Qingqing turned to her grandmother.

Others looked down on her, Song was not angry, and pointed to the box of jewelry and said, "Then you go there and send the things over."

Chen Qingqing frowned, and Shen Jiayi was even more anxious and rushed to say, "Why do grandmother still want to reward her? People don't take you seriously."

Xiu'er echoed: "That's it!"

Song sighed, "You both know the situation in the big room. If I don't give her some jewelry, she will have nothing to wear. When she looks back, she will see you two dressed up beautifully. When she is jealous, she will go to your grandfather to complain? Your grandfather is very busy with state affairs, so let's not make things difficult for him."

Chen Qingqing suddenly realized that what her grandmother really cares about was their sisters and grandfather.

"Don't worry, Grandma, Sister Six and I will respect you well." Chen Qingqing hugged the elder's left arm and said.

Shen Jiayi immediately hugged Song's right arm.

Being stuck to two beautiful granddaughters, Song's heart melted. After thinking about it, she picked out a pair of red jade bracelets from the third box and put them on the wrists of Chen Qingqing's sisters: "If I don't appreciate it, I'd better care for my granddaughters."

The old man's revenge is a bit like a child, and Shen Jiayi and Chen Qingqing both laughed.

Only then did Xiu'er carry the box and go to the big room.

The eldest lady and the mother are really busy with their work now. The empress in the palace is about to celebrate her birthday at the end of the month. Although it is not a birthday, the Shen family, as a family member, must make some statements.

"Mom, how do you see my orchid embroidered?" Shen Jiarong asked with the embroidery bandage. She wanted to embroider a screen of the orchid table.

The eldest lady looked at it carefully for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, Rong'er's orchids are becoming more and more charming."

Shen Jiarong was happy at first, then pouted: "No matter how good the embroidery is, my aunt is the queen, and I have not received more than ten pieces of jewelry from me for so many years."

The eldest lady sighed: "It's not that your aunt is not rewarded. There were so many ladies in the capital back then, why did the late emperor choose your aunt as his daughter-in-law? The late emperor likes our Shen family's girls dignified and frugal. Besides, your aunt, whether it's a princess or a queen, she always follows your grandfather's style. Otherwise, how could she get the name of a virtuous queen? To put it bluntly, she may not have a few idle jewelry in her hand."

Shen Jiarong curled her lips and muttered while sewing: "What's the use of virtuousness? Who doesn't know that the emperor favors Concubine Chun the most now? My mother has seen it. When did Concubine Chun appear, it's not like a jewel? In my opinion, women still have to be beautiful and dressed up to be loved by men."

Mrs. Chen's movements paused slightly, and Concubine Chun's peerless appearance appeared in her mind, especially her passionate eyes. Not to mention the emperor, she couldn't help but feel her heart swayed when she first met. It is said that Concubine Chun and her brother were on a trip together, and was seen by the emperor who was working in Jiangnan. Not long after, Concubine Chun became the emperor's new favorite.

Concubine Chun was in glory, and her businessman brother also reached the top. Sure enough, she was another pair of Yang brothers and sisters.

Thinking of this in my heart, the eldest lady scolded her daughter seriously: "You are an unmarried girl, don't talk about men."

Shen Jiarong pursed her lips and ignored her mother.

Fifteen-year-old Shen Jiarong, although she was dressed in plain clothes and had no exquisite jewelry on her head, she was the most beautiful age of a woman. Her skin was tender and delicate, and her lips were not tinged but red. No matter how she looked, she was a beauty.

The eldest lady couldn't help but be glad that she gave birth to three daughters, and the first two were the average appearance of the Xia family, and only the younger daughter got the good appearance of the Shen family. The prince is eighteen years old this year, and it has been in the past two years since the late emperor appreciates the style of the Shen family, the emperor now may choose a Shen family daughter for the prince. And her Rong'er and the prince are cousins, so it's best to have a kiss.

"Rong'er embroidered it well. This thing is to be placed in your aunt's room. There are opportunities for the emperor to see it." The eldest lady reminded her daughter with deep meaning.

When Shen Jiarong heard this, her little face slowly turned red. She understood what her mother meant. To be honest, she also wanted to marry the prince's cousin.

"Madam, Xiu'er is here again."

The eldest lady raised her head unexpectedly.

The message was her confidant maid Jinshu. Seeing that both mother and daughter were staring at her, Jinshu said happily: "Xiu'er is holding a box of jewelry in her hand, saying that she was rewarded to the fifth girl, the sixth girl and the seventh girl."

Jewelry, or a box of jewelry?

The eldest lady widened her eyes, and Shen Jiarong stood up even more excitedly. You know, all the jewelry she could take out now was not as full as a medium-sized box.

"Call her in!" Shen Jiarong said anxiously.

Jinshu went with a smile. The eldest lady came back to her senses and frowned and reminded her daughter: "This little thing is so happy that it makes people laugh when it is spread."

Shen Jiarong lowered her head in shame.

Xiu'er came soon and handed the box to the mother and mother lukewarmly, and she left immediately.

The eldest lady asked Jinshu to retreat and then opened the box.

Song is not a stingy person. Since I have been rewarded, the box is full of good things, including cumbersome and exquisite red blond hairpins, red blood-like gem earrings, emerald jade bracelets...it can be easily taken out, and it can be snatched by the poor.

"Is this true?" Shen Jiarong carefully stroked a ruby ​​earring, his voice trembling.

The eldest lady has been an official lady for so many years. Even if she doesn’t have one, she has looked at countless good things from other ladies. After careful examination, she was both happy and suspicious: “Why did she suddenly become so generous over there?”

Shen Jiarong didn't care about that much, and ran into the eldest lady's inner room with a jewelry box in her arms and dressed up in front of the mirror.

"Mom, is it good-looking?" Shen Jiarong asked happily after dressing up.

The eldest lady looked at her bright and charming daughter, and suddenly became blessed and sneered: "So that's it, silly daughter, if you dress up like this, you will be the next one to be scolded by your grandfather."

Shen Jiarong was stunned for a moment, and looked at herself in the mirror again. She said in shock: "Mom means that in order not to let the seventh sister be scolded alone, she deliberately instigated me to fight against my grandfather?"

The eldest lady said hatefully: "Otherwise? Why didn't you see her reward you before?"

When Shen Jiarong heard this, she was both angry and really reluctant to return the jewelry. After being embarrassed for a moment, Shen Jiarong smiled and said proudly: "Don't be angry, I won't wear it in front of my grandfather. Let's ask her to compensate her wife and soldiers."

The eldest lady thought about it and it was really the case!

The mother and the mother looked at each other and laughed.

On the third room, Shen Qingqing brought the newly obtained jewelry to her mother.

Chen took a look casually and whispered: "Your grandmother has not been easy for decades. Qingqing, it is not convenient for your father and I to see her. You have to go and see more."

After all, mother-in-law is just an aunt. If the couple goes there, they will be unruly and they can act spoiled when their daughter is young, and the old man will not be too disgusted.

Shen Qingqing said with a good attitude: "Of course, I have already thought about it. From now on, I will live with my grandmother every day. Anyway, my mother will be annoyed me."

"You little slut!" Chen squeezed his daughter's ears in anger.

After resting in the afternoon, Shen Qingqing took her brother to Tongyuan.

Song likes Shen Wang, a fat grandson, very much, and makes the kitchen make a lot of delicious pastries. At dusk, Shen Wang doesn't want to leave.

"Come again tomorrow." Song said lovingly.

Shen Wang nodded vigorously!

Shen Qingqing led her younger brother back. The sunset was bright and the Shen Mansion was peaceful.

"Sister, is Daddy coming back soon?" Shen Wang asked unhappily.

Shen Qingqing smiled and guessed: "I'm afraid that my dad will take your homework?"

Shen Wang nodded in a dull voice.

Shen Qingqing taught her younger brother seriously: "Men must study hard to get fame and fortune, and only by having fame can they become officials. Dad cares about you and it is for your own good. How can I not want my father to go home because of this?"

While talking, the siblings had already arrived near the third room, and then turned a corner to reach the main entrance.

Chen Wang was about to refute, but suddenly pointed to the gap in the flower tree next to him and said, "Dad is back!"

Chen Qingqing turned her head to look. Through the green branches and leaves, she saw her gentle father, but there was a figure on the other side of her father, and her appearance was blocked by her father, and only half of her head was exposed.

Are guests here?

The guests who can be taken home by their father must be their father's friends.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingqing led her younger brother around and prepared to greet her elders.

"Miss Seven, don't be fine."

After Chen Tingwen stopped, Li Zhi stopped and said to Chen Qingqing with a smile.
