The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 242 Discounted Favor

The old Duke said with a smile: "You can eat at Ganlu Hall tonight. You can order some dishes so that we can try some too."

Shi Yao agreed immediately.

She also felt the pleasure of being favored and was so happy that she immediately took out the two menus and discussed with the old man and the old woman what to eat in the evening.

Unexpectedly, Muxiang took the menu and went to the kitchen. She came back covered in dust and raised two fingers high: "Miss, the cook said that she would give you a discount for the first meal, and it would cost twenty taels of silver!"

Shi Yao was speechless: "...Why do you want more money?"

This favor comes with a discount!

In the past, when Shi Mingzhu ordered food, no one asked her for money.

The old Duke looked at her confused and aggrieved face and laughed.

The lady could not bear it any longer and hurriedly said, "Madam Tang, go get some silver. Give the cook two hundred taels a month. The second young lady can eat whatever she wants."

Shi Yao stopped Aunt Tang, took out two ten-liang silver notes from her purse and gave them to Muxiang. She waved her hands feebly, hugged the lady's waist, and said without turning her head:

"I'm treating you today, go ahead. Ah, I finally understand that there is really no such thing as a free dinner in this world.

Grandma, please don't spend money. Since you need money, I can't just eat at my sister-in-law's house. If I'm given money, other families will probably be willing to do it. It's not bad to be able to change the taste every day."

The lady hooked her nose and said with a smile: "You are really good at comforting yourself."

The old Duke laughed heartily again, his laughter was hearty.

He liked Shi Yao's deflated look, which was cute and playful. Every time he saw it, he felt happy.

After dinner, Shi Yao coaxed the golden thigh and went back to Guanju Courtyard.

The old couple took the medicine, chatted for a while, and then rested.

The lady folded the corner of the quilt and sighed, "My dear girl, you are really hurt and you still don't want to open your heart to us."

Otherwise, he would not have failed to mention a word about the conversation with his sisters-in-law in Handan Courtyard.

Knowing that the whole palace was paying attention to what they talked about.

Shi Yao didn't say anything because she trusted her sisters-in-law and was not afraid of being cheated by them, but she was afraid of being cheated by them and didn't trust the old couple.

The old duke lay down in the quilt warmed by the hot water bottle and said with a smile: "At our age, what is there to be unhappy about? The fate between people is deep or shallow. If you don't give her enough, she will naturally not dare to confide in you."

After saying this, the old Duke was stunned himself.

They gave a lot to Zhuzhu, but because she had many grandchildren, they didn't give her all of them, so she didn't open up to them.

It can be seen that matters like heart-to-heart talk do not all depend on how much you give, but also on the human heart.

The lady's heart ached. "Well, if you are more careful, you can live well. You won't suffer any loss when you go to your husband's house. If you suffer any loss, you won't be sad and angry and lose your heart. It's a good thing to think this way."

The old Duke knew that his wife was heartbroken. Not to mention Zhuzhu, she was already a married daughter, like water spilled, so there was no point in worrying, and Shi Yao was enjoying her happiness right in front of him.

Shi Yao was on guard against them, fearing that they would want to kill her or harm her.

How could these two old people not see this?

But no one pointed it out, and no one dared to point it out.

Some things can be seen through but cannot be spoken out loud.

He stretched his hand out from his side of the quilt, reached into the lady's quilt, held her hand, and whispered: "The ice is three feet thick, and it is not formed in one day.

She is exceptionally smart and clever, and has a clear mind. She has been sent back to Jinling for more than ten years, so how could she not be on guard against us? Take your time, one day, she will know that you really treat her well. "

The lady's eyes were moist, and she rubbed them on the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid I won't live for many years, and she won't be able to let it go until she dies."

The old Duke was speechless this time.

If Shi Yao had just arrived in Beijing and had no feelings for the man and had just married casually, my wife would probably have felt that she had given Shi Yao so much respect and arranged for her to marry into a family of officials. It was a great favor and all the debts she had owed in the past had been repaid.

Now, the grandfather and grandson get along very well. The lady treats Shi Yao with sincerity, so she is naturally sad that Shi Yao cannot return the same sincerity.

As for feelings, they are built over time.

The original intention will always change.

The stars are sparse at night and the sky is dyed black.

The Duke's Mansion endured another difficult day.

Countless people outside were laughing at them, as they all stayed at home, living a peaceful and comfortable life, enjoying their wealth and prosperity. They didn't hear any gossip, and there was no lunch box, so only the Duke of Zhenguo and the Third Master were allowed to hear it.

Shi Yao is not as sentimental as the lady.

The old lady has a lot of sons, grandsons and granddaughters. No matter how they are ranked, it will never be her turn to hurt the old lady.

I didn’t tell my sisters-in-law about my conversation because I was too lazy to make up lies to deceive them.

Moreover, the sisters-in-law were not of one mind, and who knew which one of them would betray them secretly.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. If you don’t say anything, you won’t make any mistakes. You can just make up an excuse to get away with it in the future.

However, Shi Yao couldn't sleep either.

The tiny Shi Yunfan and the embryo-still-still-embryo Shi Yunlang are actually two hidden villains!

This news was still impacting her brain.

Tsk tsk, I never expected that the Shi family would be defeated by these brothers in the future.

She was thinking, Fourth Sister-in-law was pregnant, and she couldn't let her be reborn, otherwise if Shi Yunlang (Shi YunX finally had a name) died, wouldn't that be a sin?

The last time she beat Gong Xuan, although she felt no guilt, she still felt a little scared afterwards, for fear that her good deeds would be damaged and her merit book would be lost, and she would lose her golden finger.

Now that the big villain Shi Yunlang is stubbornly staying in Gong Xuan's belly, she can only tolerate Gong Xuan for the time being.

Gong Xuan can’t move, so what about Shi Yunfan?

As for the second week, is there anyone who knows the status of the Shi family 20 years later better than the fourth generation of the Shi family?

What's more, Shi Yunfan does have a bit of a rebellious nature.

Although he was very young, only three or four years old, he dared to complain that his parents did not love him and that all the good things were given to his aunt first.

None of the other children in the Shi family have his awareness.

This kid has great potential!

If he were reborn... Shi Yao was excited, and the image of Shi Yunfan appeared in her mind - his small body that couldn't even walk steadily, and his small mouth that couldn't even speak clearly...

Hey, this child is really too young.

Shi Yao was tossing and turning like a pancake.

She waved her hand to chase away the book of merit that appeared out of nowhere, silently reminding herself that although she was rich, she couldn't be arrogant.

Early the next morning, Shi Yao went to Handanyuan with two dark bags under her eyes to learn how to be a housekeeper.

Fu Nanjun asked with concern: "Second sister, did you not sleep well last night?"

Shi Yao rubbed her sore eyes and nodded: "I miss Brother Fan and Brother Lang."

It was rare for Fu Nanjun to see her showing some coquettish look. He took the tea handed to him by the maid, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "If you are tired, you can take a rest this morning."

"Nothing, I can't sleep even if I go back. Sister-in-law, just keep bothering me with things. I can sleep better when I'm tired."

Fu Nanjun shook his head. This girl is destined to be a worrywart. If she doesn't focus on anything else, how could she not sleep?

I never thought that as soon as I spoke of Cao Cao, he would appear.

Shi Yao returned to Guanju Courtyard and was about to have lunch when the third master came with Fan Ge'er.
