Poor Family

In Beijing in October, the weather is already very cold. According to experience in previous years, the first snow will fall in a few days.

In Prince Rong's Mansion, in the northernmost Rong'an Courtyard, Nanny Qu led the way, and twenty or thirty servant girls and women stood in the yard enduring the cold wind, waiting for Shi Fuxin, who was newly married into the palace, to give a lecture.

In the room, Shi Fuxin ignored the people waiting in the yard, and ate breakfast at her usual eating speed.

When Guan Xiuyan came over, she paused when she saw a crowd of people in the courtyard.

Hui'er, the close servant girl, couldn't help but whispered: "The third wife just got married, and she just took advantage of the people in the third master's yard, isn't she too anxious?"

Guan Xiuyan glared at Hui'er, and warned: "Pay attention to your identity, how can you say something about your cousin sister-in-law?"

Hui'er quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake: "Girl, this servant is wrong."

Guan Xiuyan ignored her and glanced at Nanny Qu, her eyes flickered.

According to her cousin's performance when she served tea just now, she even dared to contradict the old concubine and the county prince, so it would be normal for her to take care of her cousin's nanny, Nanny Qu.

The cousin married by my cousin is a bit difficult to get along with!

Guan Xiuyan walked into the courtyard with a slightly solemn mood.

"Cousin girl."

When Nanny Qu saw Guan Xiuyan coming, she knew that the princess had something to tell her, so she immediately went forward and bowed her knees: "Young Miss Biao is here to find the third lady?"

As she said that, she glanced at the upper room, and said cryptically: "It's a bit of a coincidence that the cousin girl came here. The third lady is having breakfast, so I'm afraid I have to wait."

The cousin girl came here at the order of the princess, and if she asked the cousin to wait, that would be to neglect the princess.

No mother-in-law can bear such disrespect from her daughter-in-law!

Nanny Qu is very aware of the princess's temperament, because the eldest concubine and the second wife are protected by the old concubine and the county king respectively, and the concubine can't play the role of her mother-in-law, and she has already complained about this in recent years.

The third wife is the serious daughter-in-law of the princess, and the princess must vent the anger she has received from the eldest concubine and the second lady all these years on the third lady.

If the third wife followed the princess's wishes, it would be better. If she offended the princess as soon as she entered the door, she would have a hard time in the future.

"The old slaves have been waiting for a long time." Nanny Qu added.

She is the nanny of the third master. During these years of staying in the palace, no matter whether it is the princess or the third master, they will give her a little face. I never thought that the third wife would give her a big shame just after entering the door, which made her feel uncomfortable. Extremely.

Since the third lady doesn't give her face so much, she doesn't need to help her.

Guan Xiuyan glanced at Nanny Qu, they were all begging for life in the palace, everyone could guess what was going on in their minds, she didn't want to get involved with Rong Anyuan's affairs, she just pretended that she didn't understand what Nanny Qu said, just now When Hui'er was about to report to her, the curtain of the upper room opened.

An Ran came out with a smile, and gave Guan Xiuyan a blessing: "The cousin girl is here, please come in."

Guan Xiuyan saw An Ran appearing in time, understood the situation in the yard, and her cousin and sister-in-law in the house knew it well, she glanced at Nanny Qu, then entered the upper room with a smile. When he entered the room, seeing that An Ran didn't pay much attention to Nanny Qu, his expression straightened again.

Biao sister-in-law really doesn't save face for Nanny Qu at all!

Shi Fuxin had already eaten, took the hot handkerchief from Nurse Leng's hand and wiped her hands, and Guan Xiuyan came in.

Seeing Shi Fuxin who was sitting on the main seat smiling and looking at her, Guan Xiuyan calmed down and stepped forward to greet her: "Cousin, Xiuyan is being polite."

Shi Fuxin stood up and returned the salute: "Cousin, don't be so polite."

After doing all the courtesy, Shi Fuxin didn't intentionally express her closeness to Guan Xiuyan, and asked straight to the point: "Cousin is looking for me, is there something wrong?"

Guan Xiuyan was amazed at the straightforwardness of the new cousin, she replied in a nonchalant manner: "My aunt is looking for something to do with my cousin, and I want to invite my cousin to the main courtyard."

After a pause, "My aunt also said that my cousin should not pay too much attention to what happened during the tea ceremony."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "It turned out that the concubine mother was looking for me, don't worry, cousin, I have a very big heart, and I never take care of insignificant things."

Hearing this answer, Guan Xiuyan was obviously taken aback.

Putting herself in the shoes of others, if she is replaced by a cousin, if she is despised by her husband's family on the first day she enters the door, she will definitely die of embarrassment.

Does the cousin really not care, or is she pretending to be strong?

Guan Xiuyan looked at Shi Fuxin for a while, and saw that she was smiling, and there was really no trace of worry on her brows, and she suddenly understood why her cousin married this person in front of her.

To live in the palace, one of the most important abilities is not to be too serious, or else you will embarrass yourself before others make a move to find fault.

"I see there is still something to do in my cousin's courtyard, so I'll go back to my aunt first."

"Biao sister-in-law doesn't need to go to the main courtyard in a hurry. My aunt is with me. Cousin just handles the affairs in the courtyard before going there."

Shi Fuxin was noncommittal, just nodded with a smile, and watched Guan Xiuyan leave.

As soon as she left, An Ran couldn't help but said: "What does it mean to be a cousin just now? What does it mean that the princess has her? Is she showing that she is valued by the princess?"

Shi Fuxin was silent for a while: "For this cousin girl, as long as she doesn't hinder me, you don't need to be too hostile, she is also a poor person."

An orphan girl whose parents both died, although she was raised by the princess, but the princess of the county is incomprehensible and unable to stand up, and other people in the palace are not easy to get along with. It can be imagined that Guan Xiuyan's life in the palace these years is not easy. Where did you go.

Seeing that Shi Fuxin was about to enter the inner room to change clothes, Mother Leng quickly asked, "Ma'am, there are people in the yard."

Shi Fuxin sneered: "Let them wait, blow more cold wind to wake up their minds."

Soon, Shi Fuxin changed her clothes, put on her cloak, and went out the door, then stood on the steps, looking at the servants in the courtyard with a blank expression.

When Nanny Qu saw that Fuxin didn't speak, she cleverly took the lead in saluting: "This old servant has seen the third lady."

As soon as she started, the others saluted one after another: "The slaves have seen the third lady."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "It's quite cold here, it's hard for you to stand for a long time." She said, looking at Qu Nanny, "Originally, I wasn't in a hurry to see everyone, but Qu Nanny just did it for me. My lord, I gathered everyone together, if I don’t see you, it seems that I’m not giving you face.”

Only then did the servants in the courtyard realize why the third lady left them alone as soon as they entered the door, and they all looked at Nanny Qu secretly.

At this moment, Nanny Qu's scalp was a little numb, her complexion changed again and again, and she quickly explained to herself: "The third lady, this old servant has absolutely no intention of being your master, this old servant just wants to share your worries."

Shi Fuxin laughed out loud: "Share my worries? You are so capable, why don't you be the hostess of this yard, and I'll be the shopkeeper?"

Hearing this, Nanny Qu directly knelt on the ground: "Third Madam, this old slave is outraged. This old slave would not dare to have such a thought even if he had the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard."

Shi Fuxin smiled more forgivingly, glanced at the servants in the courtyard, stepped down the steps, and when she passed Nanny Qu, she said: "This is not an example."

An Ran and Xiao Fang accompanied Shi Fuxin to the main courtyard, while Nanny Leng stayed behind.

Nanny Leng sent Shi Fuxin out of the courtyard, then turned to look at Nanny Qu and the others, and asked the four second-class maids who came over as a dowry to distribute the personnel forms that they had prepared long ago to everyone.

"Everyone go back and fill out the contents on the paper, and hand it over to me before dinner."

After finishing speaking, Mother Leng took the dowry maids to arrange Shi Fuxin's dowry.

Mother Qu was frightened into a cold sweat by Shi Fuxin, and after reading the personnel form in her hand, her expression became a little more solemn.

The personnel form is similar to Hong Yanxiao's recruitment profile, and it consists of four parts.

1. Basic information: name, gender, date of birth, family status, marital status, residential address, and how to contact.

2. Knowledge status: What skills have you learned, such as literacy, female red, needle chisel, weaving, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.

3. Where have you ever been on business, and list all the business records in chronological order, specifying the position, time of business, reason for resignation, and relevant witnesses.

The last one is personal strengths and hobbies.

Nanny Qu's mood was very solemn. A personnel form directly checked a person clearly, allowing her to clearly understand how powerful this third lady is.

Hey, if she wants to continue to control the affairs of the third master's yard, she may not be able to.

In the past, the third master didn't go back to the mansion often, and the concubine's thoughts were so much on the prince, that she was in charge of the affairs in the third master's courtyard.

She also knew that after the third lady entered the house, the third lady would take care of the affairs of the courtyard, but the third lady had just married in, so she didn't know anything, and in the end everything depended on her, and she could still say everything in the third master's courtyard.

But now.

Nanny Qu looked at the strange gazes cast by the other servants, and her complexion became a little dull.

The third lady just directly expressed her dislike for her to everyone. In the future, she might not be able to have the majesty she used to.

Royal Palace

As soon as Shi Fuxin entered the door, she saw Princess Guan sitting comfortably on a chair with her eyes closed, while Guan Xiuyan was standing behind her, carefully massaging her head.

Seeing Shi Fuxin coming, Guan Xiuyan quickly reminded Princess Guan: "Auntie, my cousin is here."

Concubine Guan originally wanted to wait for Shi Fuxin to salute her, to let her hang out for a while, and then she opened her eyes, but she didn't hear Shi Fuxin's greeting, so she couldn't help frowning and opened her eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Shi Fuxin sat on the chair without her permission, and he was immediately unhappy.

Concubine Guan just wanted to reprimand Shi Fuxin, but Shi Fuxin stood up with a smile and saluted: "Daughter-in-law has met mother concubine, mother concubine Wanan."

Without venting the anger in her heart, Concubine Guan was a little angry, looked at Shi Fuxin, didn't cry out, but asked displeasedly: "Why are you here so late?"

Shi Fuxin followed the question, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "Someone in the courtyard bullied the daughter-in-law who just married into the palace, and the daughter-in-law left them alone for a while."

Concubine Guan ignored Shi Fuxin's answer, she was furious at Shi Fuxin's behavior of standing up, Luo Qilan and Tang Shan treated her in a wrong way, she had nothing to do, but Shi's daughter is the wife of her own son, she should be filial and respectful This mother-in-law.

Just when Princess Guan was about to lose her temper, Shi Fuxin spoke again first.

Shi Fuxin looked at Princess Guan with a smile: "Concubine Mu, do you know why the third master wanted to marry me?"

Concubine Guan was taken aback by the question, and she couldn't react for a while.

Shi Fuxin looked at Princess Guan with bright eyes: "Because I am the same person as the third master."

Guan Wangfei's mind suddenly popped up the things that her son had done regardless of these years, and the smiling daughter-in-law in front of her slowly merged with her son's appearance.

Thinking of the scenes where she couldn't come to the stage, and thinking of the attitude of the family daughter towards the old princess and the prince during the tea ceremony, the princess who was aggressive a moment ago immediately died down.

Guan Xiuyan and Shi Fuxin noticed the change in Princess Guan's momentum at the same time.

The smile on Shi Fuxin's face deepened, for a confused person like Guan Wangfei, threats are more useful than reasoning.

"Mother and Concubine, are you looking for your daughter-in-law to come over for something?"

Guan Xiuyan was still in shock when she heard Shi Fuxin's words, she came back to her senses, looked at Guan Wangfei who was not looking well, and reminded with a smile: "Auntie, did you come here to ask about your cousin's physical condition? ?"

Concubine Guan looked at Shi Fuxin with a straight face: "You know medical skills, brother Yao is your husband, you should take better care of his body."

Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile: "Of course, my daughter-in-law doesn't want to be a widow."

Princess Guan: "."

Guan Xiuyan: "."

Sure enough, he is very brother Yao (cousin)!
