Chapter 6 Ugly Faces

When Tao walked into Baoxia, she saw a few little maids standing there with their eyebrows and eyes curled up. The sounds inside could be heard vaguely. Tao sneered and played this trick again, but now she no longer cared about being neglected.

Tao did not stand silly and restlessly waiting for Mother Chen to "get up" like before. She found a chair nearby and sat down in a noble manner. The maids widened their eyes. The third grandma was so brave! Aren't she afraid of being scolded by her wife?

No one gave tea to the Tao family. Chen's mother looked down on the third daughter-in-law who was born in a merchant, so the maids naturally neglected the third grandmother.

Although the Shen Bomi brothers are young and don’t know much about many things, the children can sensitively sense how good or bad people around them are. They can feel the contempt of the servants of Xuanziyuan for their mother and son. Therefore, every time they come to Xuanziyuan, they will stand by Tao in a protective attitude. This is also the reason why Tao is still nostalgic for the Shen family. She cannot abandon these two sensible sons and Li Guizong.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the eldest girl of the Shen family, the second girl Chen Danqi, the third girl Chen Danfu, and the fourth girl Chen Danfu walked in surrounded by servants. Chen's mother believed that she was from a famous family and could educate her. After the girl at home was six years old, she would live in the small building behind Xuanziyuan and be raised by her. She completely forgot that the youngest daughter Chen Gong, whom she had raised, had lost her virginity in her boudoir, had sex with a married man and had a daughter in July after getting married.

Among the four girls, only Chen Danyao nodded slightly to Tao as a courtesy, while the other three turned a blind eye to Tao and were arrogant. Tao looked calm and did not intend to argue with them. In the dream, these four girls were not doing very well, and they were all pitiful and pathetic people.

The four girls entered the inner room, Lin and Zhou took their own children, and then came to pay their respects. When Zhou saw Tao, he shook his head and said, "Oh, it's rare to see the third brother and sister here. I thought the third brother and sister would not come out to see someone until they were born."

"Second sister-in-law, it's not that I don't come out to meet people. I remember that adding more children to the Shen family is a big deal, and the rest are trivial matters. It's a bit hard for me to be pregnant with this child. Last time I fainted for no reason. It's not easy for my wife to understand me, so I spared my consent. I should obey my wife's words, so I dare not walk around at will." Tao said with a faint smile.

Zhou said, after all, the last time Tao fainted was caused by her. Lin laughed and said, "If my mother says, it's good that my third brother and sister are willing to obey what she says."

Dow pulled the corners of his mouth, smiling rather than smiling.

At this time, the agate around Chen's mother came out to invite them in. Chen's mother had washed and dressed up and leaned against the arhat couch. Three legitimate granddaughters surrounded her. Chen Danfu, the illegitimate one, was holding a beauty and pounding her legs.

Lin led the way, and the others then bowed to Chen's mother. Chen's mother looked at Tao with a slightly cold look. The maid came in with various food boxes, all of which were made this morning. Tao snorted. The Shen family seemed to have a great family, but in fact it was already in the evening. She had gone out more and had less money. However, Chen's mother did not know how to be frugal and still paid attention to the show. She also had to eat three kinds of pasta and two soups for breakfast. In her dream, she took the dowry to supplement and maintained the so-called glory of the Shen family. Now she would not pay more for a penny.

The girls accompanied Chen's mother to have a meal. Lin and Zhou came forward to serve. One put chopsticks and the other put the soup. Tao's eyes flashed, covering his mouth and making a vomiting sound.

"What do you mean?" Chen's mother asked angrily, pinching her chopsticks.

"Madam, I'm sorry, I can't smell this." Tao looked uncomfortable, "Madam, please forgive me and let my daughter-in-law take her off first."

Before Chen's mother could agree, Zhaocai understood and helped Tao and walked out. As soon as Tao left, Chen's mother wanted to use her mother-in-law's identity to force Tao to take the silver. Lin and Zhou were unwilling to give up. They had already made new clothes in advance, and waited for the money to be paid.

After sending the girl away and leaving the person, Lin said with a sad face: "If you want to talk about this, it is not your fault for the third brother and sister. After all, it is her dowry and money. She doesn't want to take it out for public use. We can't force others to make things difficult. Now we can only miss this good business."

"A business woman is a business woman. She has shallow eyes and only knows selfish interests and ignores the overall situation." Zhou said with disgust.

Lin sighed, "I don't know whose business is booming Zhenxiu Clothing House will fall into?"

"Mother, we cannot give up this good opportunity in vain. The Zhenxiu Clothing House does not say that we make money every day, but the money earned will definitely relieve the difficulties in the mansion." Zhou was the thinnest of the three sisters-in-laws. Chen Mushi was the most unprofitable among the Shen brothers. The money from the public was not enough to make ends meet, and Lin was a tight man, and the life of the second house was very difficult. The Zhenxiu Clothing House did not require 100,000 silver. The extra silver could be divided by the big and two houses. Zhou was eagerly hoping that this would be accomplished.

Chen's mother's face was slightly dark, and she squinted her eyes with displeasure. Zhou knew that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands. The Shen family is a branch of the Shen family of Lutai. Mr. Shen's grandfather moved to Jindu in high school, but unfortunately he died early. Mr. Shen's father's father was only a doctor in the fifth-ranked Works Department. Mr. Shen was successful and the top scholar in high school, and he took another noble daughter as his wife, trying to support the Shen family. Unfortunately, he was the only son, without brothers' help. Then, Chen's mother's family committed another crime and was punished, and he could not help him.

Mr. Shen, with his own strength, climbed to the first-rank prince's grand tutor, but his foundation was too shallow and his mother Chen did not know how to manage and was just extravagant. The Shen family had already been strong and the outside world. Now the prince was suspicious of the emperor, and Mr. Shen, the grand tutor, was also implicated. The Shen family was just a superficial glory, but Mr. Chen was unwilling to admit this.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. You don't have to say anything more. This embroidery cloth shop must be brought down." Chen's mother made the final decision. Lin and Zhou looked at each other and smiled.

The summer is hot and the sun is hot, and the earth is baked like a steamer. In such a weather, no one wants to go out and they all hide in the shade to rest. But Chen's mother sent a little maid to call Tao to Xuanziyuan again.

Jin Bao said angrily: "It's a hot day, it's too much to bother pregnant women like this."

Mrs. Qi glared at her, "Stop talking."

Tao smiled faintly and said, "Zhaocai, go out and tell the person I will go there later."

"Grandma." Jinbao shouted anxiously.

Tao raised his hand to stop her from speaking, Zhaocai opened his mouth, wanted to speak but stopped, sighed and frowned and went out.

Tao touched his stomach and said, "Wuhan, I asked someone to invite the doctor, and I said I was vomiting so badly that I felt a little uncomfortable."

"Yes." Mrs. Qi responded readily.

Tao picked up the bowl on the small table, slowly leaned back on the pillow, and leisurely drank the goat's milk soup. Shen's mother took advantage of her identity, and she could not resist and could not conflict with her head. She could only adopt this roundabout, but also effective method.
