Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 298 Awakening (two updates in one)

Only you know whether your shoes fit your feet or not. Outsiders look at the excitement, but there are all kinds of disturbances in the British government.

The eldest girl Pan Shuying leaned on the couch and looked at the pomegranate brocade wedding dress that she had embroidered for half a year hanging on the wooden shelf beside the wall. Then she looked at a mahogany box covered with red silk placed on the front table. , inside is a pair of jade Ruyi, which is a reward from the Queen and has just been sent from the palace.

Pan Shuying smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's good. I finally gave her some face in front of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Didn't you see that her grandfather just said "Okay" twice with satisfaction while stroking his beard?

If a girl from another family gets a reward from the queen when she gets married, even if it is just a hairpin, she would be extremely proud of it. What an honor!But, but, who told her that Pan Shuying was the Queen's biological niece? Who made her have any expectations?Haha, she is overthinking.

When Ms. Song came in, she happened to see the wry smile on Pan Shuying's face before she could put it away, and her heart ached. Her beauty was gentle and beautiful, and she was good at playing, playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was quite famous in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. fame.Moreover, everyone said that Ying'er's eyes looked very much like the Queen's, but why couldn't the Queen see them?
Tomorrow is Yinger's wedding, and they are all waiting for the queen to add makeup.Even if it's not much, even if it's just a mention, it's the queen's attitude as a biological aunt, isn't it?It also allowed Ying'er to straighten her back in the Prime Minister's Mansion.Unfortunately, in the end, all they got was a pair of jade Ruyi, a gift given by the Queen to the eldest son of the Li family and the eldest daughter of the Pan family.

Mrs. Song was filled with regrets for a moment. She regretted that she had been bewitched by her sister-in-law when she returned to Penzhou last time. She was anxious to plan Pan Jiaming's marriage and made the boy divorce him. Of course, she hated Pan Jiaming for being an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who couldn't remember. Qianrihao, once he was unhappy, he forgot all the good things Dafang had done to him.

"Forget it Ying'er, think of the bright side." In this situation, Mrs. Song could only comfort her daughter with words, "What your grandfather said is right. Over the years, except for the marriages granted by the emperor or the queen in person, the queen has always Rewards are rarely given to show the dignity of royal rewards. This time I am trying to save face for you. The Li family does not dare to look down on you. Hey, what is this box? It looks very expensive from the box." Next to the mahogany box There is also a larger, taller wooden box that seems to be made of rosewood.

Pan Shuying finally had a smile on her face: "Grandma gave me the makeup. It was just delivered, just before we went out to receive the Queen's reward." Her years of effort in front of the old lady are still worth it. In addition, , today the Queen will reward you with the jade Ruyi. Both her parents think it is the reason why her grandfather sent the message to the palace, but she is the only one who firmly believes that it is the old lady who is the reason.The queen was truly filial and close to the old lady, and she was just caring for her grandfather, otherwise the British prince would have been the eldest son long ago.

"Oh? Let me take a look," Mrs. Song hurriedly stepped forward and opened the box. Inside the box were three sets of top-quality noodles, one set each of gold, jade, and ruby, as well as a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of jade pendants, Ten thumb-sized southern beads, plus 5000 taels of silver notes.

"The old lady is quite generous this time," Mrs. Song smiled, suddenly thought of something, and curled her lips again, "However, the old lady has a lot of treasures. These things are nothing in her eyes. She has them between her fingers. I just leaked a little bit to coax you. If she really treats you as a granddaughter, she will have to prepare two more bags from her private room." The old lady was born in a wealthy family. It is said that she was very popular back then, and only had all kinds of precious jewelry. Two full loads were loaded.

Pan Shuying snorted: "Grandma treats me as her granddaughter, so she got rid of me with a pair of ugly gold hairpins from 20 years ago." She also pretended to have spent a lot of money, and kept telling her not to forget it. Her maternal grandfather's family loved her so much that she had to think more about helping her uncle and cousins ​​after marrying into the Li family.Humph, if it weren't for the fact that she was marrying into the Prime Minister's Palace, her grandmother and two uncles wouldn't have rushed to the capital to attend the wedding ceremony, right?

What else does the Song family have in the capital now?Is it the two-in-one courtyard where they live now?Another purpose of coming back to Beijing this time was to sell the yard.In the future, when the Song family returns to the capital, will they have the audacity to live in the British government residence?

"Ying'er," Mrs. Song was really hurt. Although she also felt that her mother was too stingy, the naked contempt in her daughter's eyes really hurt her.How can her mother's family background and private house compare with the old lady's?Even if her mother still had some private property, she would have used it to support her son and grandson.If Ying'er hadn't married well, her mother would have been reluctant to take out the pair of heavy gold hairpins.

"Okay, mother," Pan Shuying said coldly, "don't be jealous of grandma's rich private house. No matter how many treasures a person has, it is normal to leave them to his direct grandchildren. What's the point of having grandchildren from a concubine? Now what can grandma do? I am already satisfied with all the dowry you have given me. When it is Min'er's turn in the future, it would be nice to have a pair of bracelets." What the old lady gave her was enough for the dowry of an ordinary daughter-in-law.By the way, the money given to her by the Duke of Guogong was only 8000 taels, and her mother gave her [-] taels.

Song was extremely angry and a little angry. Just as she was about to say something, Pan Shuying waved her hand and interrupted her: "Don't be angry yet. What I said is the truth, right? Min'er, you really need to teach me more and stop indoctrinating me." You should know that no matter what happens to her in the future, the old lady will not be able to ask her for things like phoenix life, wealth and honor. Not to mention that the old lady is her direct grandmother, and if anything happens, it will only be embarrassing for us."

"And..." Pan Shuying didn't want to listen to her mother's argument at all, so she continued, "And second brother, I have told you before, don't go too far and treat him as a fool. Second brother is more playful, He is more noisy, but he is definitely not a fool who can be manipulated by others. He just doesn't have that much mind. But he has no mind. The Queen has a mind. Don't you look at it. It used to be just four strips and two tubes, but now there's another one. Xiao Feng, who is more thoughtful than you, is with the second brother. What good can you get? The second brother is not even willing to come back to the capital to marry me this time. Do you really think he is afraid of the emperor's punishment and his grandfather's scolding? He just doesn't That’s all I am willing to do. Second brother is now working outside and has contact with many people, and there are people around him who are watching and teaching, so no matter how unscrupulous he is, he will know how to think more."

"How dare he..." Ms. Song still didn't want to believe that she could no longer control Pan Jiaming.

"What's he afraid of?" Pan Shuying sneered coldly, "He just won't come back now. What can you do? Didn't he bring back a coral plant half a man's height, a box of pearls, and ten pieces of satin? Me? Everyone praises him as a good cousin, can you say that he must put down his errands and come back?"

Mrs. Song was unable to resist being questioned by her daughter. Her face turned red and white, and her breath became heavier and heavier. ． ． ． ． ．Pan Shuying finally couldn't bear it and softened her attitude: "Mom, I don't want to say it so harshly, but in the past, I said it lightly, but you never took it to heart. You are too... self-righteous! If Without the Empress, it is still possible for you to raise your second brother as you want, but the reality is that the Empress is watching him, and the Emperor keeps giving him opportunities to force him to improve, and even sends a second-ranked man to follow him closely. . Just watch, the second brother will only become more and more capable and promising.

And what does the eldest brother have? He just has more talents than the second brother and you are complacent.All the Jinshi in the capital are masters, so what’s the use of a small scholar?Mom, stop fooling yourself and others, wake up quickly!
The eldest brother now has Princess Thea. Although the emperor will not reuse her, there will definitely be a good-looking and nice-sounding idler. Even if the families separate in the future, if nothing unexpected happens, a life of wealth and comfort can still be guaranteed. .

You should stop trying to manipulate your second brother, cultivate Miner and Xiner properly, and mend your relationship with your second brother.Grandma should also respect her, it has both advantages and disadvantages.Mother, please think about it carefully. I am going to pay my respects to my grandmother and say thank you. "If she hadn't always obeyed the rules of the concubine's granddaughter obediently and dutifully, how could there be any benefit today? The old lady didn't treat her well on the face, but she was still soft-hearted. Of course, it was thanks to her ten years of practice Persistence, right? You still can’t slack off in the future.

She knew very well that after marrying to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she wanted to live a good life and live a satisfactory life, she still had to rely on the old lady and Pan Jiaming.

Looking at her daughter's back, Mrs. Song suddenly felt a decadent feeling that she had failed. According to Ying'er, was her complacency in the past ten years all an illusion?Is her complacency all self-deception?For some reason, her mind suddenly flashed back to the ridicule and contempt on Pan Jiaming's face when he told her about Song Hongtu's accident in Luo City. Could it be that he knew all the hard work she had put into raising him over the years, and then saw Song Hongtu? He's the real loser, don't you think it's ironic and proud?Yes, Xiao Feng must have brainwashed him, so he became more and more alienated from her and Jin'er, and even became wary of Song Hongtu, gloating over Song Hongtu's misfortunes. ． ． ． ． ．

Ying'er was right, she was too self-righteous. How could someone as smart as the Queen let her raise Pan Jiaming to death?The queen just thought that it was okay for Pan Jiaming to be arrogant when he was young. Whether he was the first of the three hegemons or the first playboy, it just reflected his status and cultivated his domineering attitude, right?

Yes, it must be, so Pan Jiaming didn't care about eating, drinking, having fun, walking horses and fighting cocks, but he was very strict about women's sex, leaving no room for her.So Pan Jiaming was just over 17 years old, and the emperor began to force him to do errands. Or did he leave the capital to do errands so that their main house would be far away from him and not affect him?So Xiao Feng, who was second in the rankings, gave up his official career and followed Pan Jiaming?
So, she thought she was doing it covertly and cleverly, but in fact the queen knew it all and only watched her perform a one-man show, treating her like a clown on the stage?The Queen is so...cunning, so...terrible, so...abominable!

After thinking everything through, Mrs. Song had an epiphany and solved all the doubts in her heart over the past six months. She was also completely... depressed and slumped softly on the couch.How should she go after this?How to get around the whole big house?Should she have a serious talk with the elder and Jin'er?The elder has been blaming her for not being able to grasp Pan Jiaming, but none of them thought it through as well as Ying'er!Looking back now, Ying'er did say similar things tactfully before, but she didn't pay attention. She was so regretful!
"Have you figured it out, mother?" Pan Jiajin, who appeared at the door of the house at some unknown time, looked very ferocious with a wry smile mixed with deep self-mockery, "Actually, I only discovered that we had made a big mistake a few days ago, but it wasn't until Just now, after listening to Ying'er's words, I finally understood where we went wrong. Haha, it turns out that the smartest person in our house is Ying'er."

Looking at the two open boxes on the table, and thinking about what his grandfather said to his father and him in the study, Pan Jiajin had to admit that he was much worse than Ying'er.They are also children from a big family, and the old lady treats them indifferently on weekdays, but obviously, the old lady treats Ying'er much more generously than she does to him.Ying'er was right. Whether she was willing to leave some of the old lady's things to them and how much she wanted to give to them was entirely up to her own pleasure, and there was nothing they could do about it.

In fact, he only learned today that the property of the British Crown Prince had been divided and registered according to the distinction between concubine and concubine as early as the year his second uncle passed away, under the Queen's request and supervision.Therefore, Dafang's betrothal gift to Princess Thea this time was deducted from Dafang's property, which means that Dafang will receive even less property when the family is actually separated in the future.

He only learned today that as early as when his father and Aunt He, his biological grandmother, entered the Duke's mansion, his great-grandfather had already transferred part of the property that was originally public property to the name of his second uncle, who was still a child at the time.Therefore, even if the property was not divided back then, the second wife's private property, the old lady's private property, and the second lady's dowry combined were more than three or four times the total property of the Duke's mansion.

All this was just because my father was a bastard, or a bastard born from a foreign wife. He had lost the face of the British government and was disgusted by his great-grandfather. He and his grandfather were also disliked by his great-grandfather, so he lost control of the Eagle Guard. Even to this day, I haven't seen any of the Eagle Guards, and I don't know where the Eagle Guards are.What a pathetic head of the Pan family!Fortunately, my grandfather did not vent his anger on his father or Da Fang.

This is the tragedy of Dafang being a concubine and a concubine. It was doomed from the beginning. No matter how hard he tried to please his grandfather and suppress Pan Jiaming, it was useless.

Fortunately, he woke up in time and seized the opportunity to find a way out again. His father was incompetent and his mother would only support his parents' family, so he could only rely on himself.Everything in this house, no matter who it once belonged to or should belong to, will belong to him, Pan Jiajin!Pan Jiaming had a good destiny and had a good birth and a good start, but he would definitely not have a good ending.

Pan Jiajin raised his eyebrows. From today on, he will change his attitude and the way he gets along with his grandfather, grandmother, parents, and Pan Jiaming. Everything has just begun...

"Mom, now that you have figured it out, you should put more effort into pleasing grandma in the future, and then teach Min'er well," Pan Jiajin looked at Mrs. Song and said, "Leave Erlang to me, and don't worry about it anymore. Also, , Thea is very important to me. You have to prepare the yard where she lives. After she gets married, don’t restrict her too much or annoy her. Just treat her like you did in Luo City and teach her how to please the Queen. .”
