Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First
Chapter 5: Fighting for the Old Lady's Favor
Su Xinya did not dare to respond to the elders' words, but just thanked the old lady for her kindness: "Thank you grandma for your kindness, granddaughter thanks you grandma,"
As she was about to bow, the old lady pulled her up and motioned her to sit down and talk.
"Grandma, give the snacks to my brothers and sisters to try. They will definitely be happy." Su Xinya's oval face had not yet opened, and was still a little round.
Recently, Li was looking for a palace maid for her, so her requirements on her in all aspects became stricter.
She didn't dare to be greedy about the walnut and honey crisps just now, otherwise she might not have any breakfast.
"Okay, as long as you are happy, Madam Wang, share the snacks with the young masters and young ladies."
"Grandma, I don't like sweet food." Su Wenxin said with dissatisfaction.
The little face was puffed up with anger, but the old ladies didn't seem to notice.
Su Wenxin, on the other hand, had an even calmer expression. Ever since his elder sister came in, he and his younger sister had to stand back, just as his mother had said.
Although he was young, he was not stupid. What's more, his grandmother really stopped talking to him and he didn't play with his sister anymore.
"Wenxin, how can you talk to your grandmother and cousin like that? Why don't you apologize immediately?" Wei pretended to be angry and scolded her son, but there was no trace of blame on her face.
"Don't I like sweet things?" Su Wenxin was still young when he heard his mother scolding him. He didn't know whether his mother was really angry or just pretending to be angry. He instinctively became cautious when he heard his mother scolding him, but he still refuted in a low voice.
"Zhilan, why are you being so mean to Xin'er? If you don't like it, then don't eat it. Mother Wang, bring Xin'er the tongue biscuits that she made this morning."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Mother, if you indulge Xin'er like this, he will become more and more unreliable." Although Wei said this, she could not hide the smile on her face.
Everyone just smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Liu knew that her husband was a bastard and was not well-received. Her status was also low and she couldn't get a word in, so she just smiled apologetically.
Su Xinyu, too, lowered her head and looked at her peach pink embroidered Confucian dress. The bun on her head was tilted because she had been looking down for so long, which made the old lady even more disliked.
When Su Wenxin heard that his grandmother had specially prepared other food for him, his face immediately turned from gloomy to bright. He looked at Su Xinya, who was sitting next to the old lady, with a provocative look on his face.
However, Su Xinya just smiled faintly, and her little face looked like a balloon.
Su Xinqing stood behind Li, took a small piece of dessert and started eating slowly.
Su Xintao, who was beside him, looked sleepy just now, but when she saw the snacks, she immediately grabbed them and ate them quickly, and she became much more energetic.
The words "childish and innocent" are exactly used to describe Su Xintao now. There is no trace of her sarcastic face at all, and she and He Yuanming's second wife are flattering her together.
Su Xinqing, then looked at Su Xinwan on the left, who was only half a year younger than Su Xinqing, but already half a head taller than Su Xinqing.
At this time, Su Xinwan had already shown some of her future charm, and Aunt Li was a woman of outstanding beauty.
It is said that she was an honest official bought from Yangzhou by a court official and given to Su's father. Su's father accepted her because of her youth and beauty. However, a few months later, everyone discovered that this skinny girl from Yangzhou, whom Su's father had just taken in, was actually an honest and dull person. Her personality was very different from her charming appearance, and she was soon forgotten by Li and the concubines and thrown into the side courtyard.
The first wife, Mrs. Li, didn't say much, and later gave birth to Su Xinwan. A daughter posed no threat at all, she was just a plaything.
I was even more worried because the cost was not even as much as the old lady's parrot.
However, in this life, Su Xinqing figured out some things. No matter how humble Aunt Li was, if her outstanding looks and outstanding personality were to please the master, she would be able to win his favor.
I guess he is really close to the gates of hell. How could his stepmother, Mrs. Li, tolerate the existence of such a person?
Therefore, among the sisters, only Su Xinwan finally found a good man, and her husband was not from a wealthy family.
However, her husband is kind to his mother-in-law and his children are outstanding and filial, which made Su Xinqing the envy of her in her previous life.
She was the one who had the best life among the six concubines of the first wife after they got married, and the only one who died of old age.
Su Xinwan stood gracefully, her big, lively eyes looked as if they had just been dipped in black crystal. The saying "There are creeping grasses in the wild, dripping with dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful" is just like this.
However, the indigo-colored peony embroidered skirt looked a bit mature and tacky at this time, obscuring some of the color.
The pretty face and clothes were completely cut off, only the little face that refused to admit defeat was still looking directly in the direction of the old lady.
It seemed that she really wanted the old lady to see her strengths.
It is no surprise that Su Xinwan at this moment did not know Aunt Li's good intentions.
Su Xinqing couldn't help but sigh at Aunt Li's cleverness, and felt a little sad when she thought that her aunt didn't miss her.
Having been a child in both lives, he failed to fulfill his obligations as a child. When he woke up in this life, his aunt had already passed away.
Now, I haven't even kowtowed in front of my aunt's grave, and I feel very sad inside.
"Okay, you all can go down. I'm tired too. I'm old and don't have much energy anymore." Suddenly the old lady's voice came down, asking everyone to leave. After saying that, she leaned against the table next to the Luohan bed.
"Yes, daughter-in-law, take your leave."
"Granddaughter resigns"
"Grandson's Resignation"
A group of people retreated in an orderly manner outside the door of Yishou Hall.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Li was too lazy to pretend to be gentle and virtuous. She looked at the concubines who followed behind and said, "You can go back on your own."
He took Su Xinya and left directly. His expression changed so quickly that it was amazing.
Su Xinwan and Su Xintao were each taken back by their wet nurse, followed by a few maids.
Su Xinqing looked back at Lvhe, who had a dazed look on her face, and suddenly felt that the road ahead was uncertain.
There was also a troublesome wet nurse in the yard, which made him even more troubled. He could only go back and think about it slowly.
"Let's go," Su Xinqing said, holding Luhe's little hand. The road is slippery in the snow, so it's better to support each other. Their yard should be the farthest and most remote one.
I remember that when my aunt was still in good health, my stepmother said, "The girls of the Earl's Mansion will never be raised by my aunt."
In a word, he arranged himself in the most remote corner, separated from the courtyard wall by only a small path, and there was a dog hole under the wall.
In her previous life, she and Luhe had sneaked out from there to play, but when they came back, their stepmother found out and punished them severely.
Thinking of this, Su Xinqing's mind started to work, and her mood seemed to be much better.
However, in the previous life, he and Luhe went out secretly and did not alarm the people in other courtyards. Now that he thought about it, the wet nurse had something to do with how much he would be fined.
After all, the courtyard was remote and there were only two little kids. Who would have noticed it if the wet nurse hadn't said it on purpose to take credit for it with Li?
Over the next period of time, the more she was punished, the better her complexion became and the more jewelry she had.
As a result, even after that, Mrs. Li was too lazy to punish the children, and the wet nurse didn't get any rewards.
So he took a few boxes of things and returned to his hometown to enjoy his life. I was never seen again.
With something on my mind, the journey went by very quickly.
When Su Xinqing returned to her own Muxue Courtyard, the snow in the yard had not been cleared yet, and the wet nurse and two teenage maids were eating melon seeds under the corridor.
Seeing himself and Luhe coming back, the three were not surprised. The nanny put away the remaining melon seeds in her hand and walked over.
"Girl, you're back? Come into the house and warm up."
"Nanny, I'm hungry. Please bring me something to eat."
"Girl, haven't you had breakfast yet?" The nurse looked at her frail daughter in front of her in surprise.
"I'm hungry again. I just ate a piece of cake at grandma's place and I'm even hungrier. Grandma said I'm not as tall as my fourth sister and asked me to eat more." Su Xinqing said casually, but her big eyes were full of sincerity.
The wet nurse would definitely not verify whether what Su Xinqing said was true. She was just a little puzzled because the girl never asked her for extra food in the past. Even though she did get some snacks from the big kitchen, she and the two older girls ate them secretly. She just thought that the child listened to her grandmother and wanted to grow taller.
"Okay, young lady, you and Luhe go to the room and wait first. The nanny will ask Chuntao to get it." In fact, it means just taking the food that has been placed in their own room to the young lady's room later. It doesn't take much effort, but they will have no food later.
