The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 127 2 The girl is also partial

Seeing this, Shi Yao thought, the visitor is indeed not friendly, so she tossed the shuttlecock to play, and stopped thinking about greeting. Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, reflecting the spring light, and she asked with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, I'm a rare guest. What brings you here?"

Gong Xuan looked around at the maids who were bowing, then looked at Shi Yao who was not bowing, and said with a serious face and a faint smile: "I was having lunch at Zhuzhu's place at noon, and was about to coax her to rest after dinner, but I heard you laughing, so I came to see what my second sister was doing."

Shi Yao raised her eyebrows slightly.

I never thought that the fourth sister-in-law was so good at talking. The word "coax" made her favoritism clear, intending to make me, who is also Shi Mingzhu's sister, feel uncomfortable and jealous because of the favoritism.

After being the housekeeper's daughter-in-law for a few days, she became very powerful.

The people in the house were laughing and making noises in their own yard, but when she got upset, she came to take care of things.

Shi Yao smiled and explained, "My elder sister was very ill before, and the doctor said she needed to rest, so I told the people in the yard not to make loud noises.

My elder sister is almost recovering from her illness these days, and I thought that if we played and laughed together, it would be able to tease her and help her get better soon.

I heard from my grandmother that there will be many spring festivals in the capital in February. Big sister, please get well soon so we can go out and have fun together. Fourth sister-in-law came to see me, but she was wrong.

Gong Xuan paused, then asked with a smile: "How could I have seen it wrong?"

Shi Yao looked at her belly and said, "Sister-in-law is pregnant with the Duke's mansion's precious golden nugget, how can she watch others play? I feel restrained when I see sister-in-law, I dare not play, dare not make noise, dare not laugh, I think others are the same. Xiao Yunfan, you must walk carefully, don't fall down, and scare your mother again."

Shi Yunfan held up three fingers and said in a baby voice, "Aunt, I walk carefully. I'm three years old and I walk steadily."

Gong Xuan arched her waist and abdomen forward, and then she unconsciously shrank back, her cheeks slightly hot.

Shi Yao has a sharp tongue!

They mocked her for showing off with her protruding belly, and also laughed at her son for being impolite and rude.

Shi Yunfan stared closely at the shuttlecock that Shi Yao was throwing up and down. His little head raised and lowered, his eyes almost popped out by the bright-colored shuttlecock. He couldn't help asking:

"Aunt, what is this? I've never played with it before. Can you show it to me?"

Shi Yao handed it forward generously: "Okay, come here, I'll show you. This is called a chicken feather shuttlecock."

Shi Yunfan broke free from his mother's hand, jogged over, and took the shuttlecock, his eyes sparkling: "What beautiful feathers! More beautiful than my cloak!"

His cape was made of feathers from some precious bird. Shi Yao smiled, as innocent as a child, but his mother's face probably didn't look good.

When she looked up, Gong Xuan's face was stiff and she seemed to be very embarrassed.

Shi Yunfan kept praising the shuttlecock for its beauty, his round eyes full of desire, hoping that his aunt would give him the shuttlecock.

He loved it!

Shi Yao thought, such a young child would beg for things in a roundabout way, he was indeed the unfavored child in the big family.

For a favored child, someone will offer it to her without her having to look at her or even ask her to say anything.

Gong Xuan couldn't bear to see her son like this. She blamed Shi Yao for being ignorant and arguing with a child. She also felt that her son didn't know the difference between right and wrong and actually coveted a chicken feather shuttlecock.

Just as she was about to call Shi Yunfan away, Shi Yao spoke up, "Sister Muxiang, go pick out a few good-looking shuttlecocks from the box in my room."

Muxiang agreed.

Shi Yunfan knew that this was a gift for him, and he danced with joy. He ran back to his mother holding the chicken feather shuttlecock, and kept praising how beautiful the chicken feathers were.

Gong Xuan's expression eased, but she didn't forget the purpose of coming. She took a few steps forward, came to Shi Yao, and said earnestly: "Second sister, I am also your eldest sister-in-law. There are some things that others are embarrassed to mention, but I have to say them. If I don't say them, I will indulge you and flatter you to death.

My sister should control her temper. Zhuzhu has been ill for a long time, and the people in the mansion are very careful. They dare not walk loudly on weekdays, for fear of disturbing her rest. You live next door to her, so you should be more careful and restrained, don't give people a chance to talk about you and ruin your reputation.

Girls, the most important thing to cherish is your reputation. I heard that you haven't been learning the rules from Aunt Liu Hua these days? In my opinion, you shouldn't abandon them, you should learn them well and learn them into your bones.

Don't think it's pedantic, the old lady is looking for someone for you, the ladies out there still prefer more decent girls as their daughters-in-law."

The implication is that if you don't follow the rules and don't abide by the Shi family's rule of favoring Shi Mingzhu, your reputation will be ruined, no one will want you, and you won't be able to get married.

Shi Yao laughed. This fourth sister-in-law was pregnant with many children, so she was more confident and more nosy.

She touched Shi Yunfan's head and said with a smile, "Anyway, our family's reputation is so bad, the brother killed his sister, the husband beat his wife, the sisters-in-law smashed the house and hanged themselves, and the fourth sister Ge was so scared that she shouted to cancel the engagement during the New Year.

My reputation has been ruined for a long time! If I can't get married, then I can't get married. Isn't this Brother Fan? And there is this baby in my sister-in-law's belly.

It doesn't matter. I can stay at home as an old lady for the rest of my life. When I get old, my nephews will take care of me. Anyway, I have many nephews, so I will always have a meal to eat. Brother Fan, my aunt is old, are you willing to be filial to her?"

Shi Yunfan didn't quite understand what was said, but he knew what filial piety meant. He grabbed the shuttlecock and nodded, "I'm willing. Brother Fan will be filial to his aunt when he grows up!"

"Good child!" Shi Yao looked at her fourth sister-in-law with a smile.

Gong Xuan: “…”

What are you dreaming about?

Will the son she raised with great effort be filial to Shi Yao when he grows up?

Get married!

She must be married off!

Mu Xiang brought out a box with four chicken feather shuttlecocks in it, each of them brightly colored: "Girl."

Shi Yunfan stood on tiptoe to look inside, his round eyes widened, and he exclaimed "Ah!" "How beautiful!"

Shi Yao didn't want to make things difficult for such a little kid, but Gong Xuan came to find trouble for Shi Mingzhu, and she couldn't just be a punching bag to be beaten and scolded, so she closed the box and handed it to Gong Xuan's maid Zhirou.

Seeing Zhirou happily accepting it like a treasure, Shi Yao smiled and said, "Not only does Fourth Sister-in-law favor Big Sister, I also favor Big Sister in my heart.

Since the fourth sister-in-law is taking care of the eldest sister, please help me give these shuttlecocks to her. When she recovers, we can play shuttlecock together.

Fourth sister-in-law, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will continue to play shuttlecock, and this time we should be quiet. After a whole winter of staying in the room, spring is coming, and it’s time to stretch our muscles and bones.”

After saying that, Shi Yao took the shuttlecock from Shi Yunfan's hand, called the maids, and continued to play shuttlecock away from Gong Xuan.

In an instant, Gong Xuan's face turned pale and his lips trembled with anger.

Zhi Rou, who was about to use a chicken feather shuttlecock to coax Shi Yunfan, stood there stiffly holding the box.

This, this second girl is so vicious!

That's not what bias means!

What's the point of picking on an innocent child?
