Chapter 6: The Young Sister
In the Yunsong Courtyard, it is quiet and peaceful.
The old lady was talking and laughing with a room of warblers and Yanyan, and Shen Fengxu walked in with Shen Yumin in her arms.
With a gentle smile on her face, she put Shen Yumin down from her arms and saluted: "Granddaughter greets grandmother." ”
Shen Yumin also learned from Shen Fengxu: "Grandmother...... Please, please ......" words seemed to be swallowed in the throat, and the words were slurred.
is clearly a five-year-old girl, but in every move, she is like an idiot, and she always has a silly smile on her face, although she looks cute and cute, but if the daughter of the family is like this, it is not polite.
The old lady is dressed in a crimson cloud shirt, although the ornament is simple and simple, but it does not lose the dignified atmosphere, there is only one hairpin on the bun, and there are no extra ornaments.
"Why are you holding this girl?" the old lady had a slight look of displeasure between her eyebrows, but it was only for a moment.
The people in the house have always disliked Shen Yumin, her biological mother is a second aunt, she is a concubine, and she is born stupid, she spoke at the age of four, and now she is five years old, and she still needs a nurse to take care of her.
Shen Fengxu looked at the old lady and said with a gentle smile: "The granddaughter met Min'er on the road, and saw that she was bent on asking the old lady to say goodbye, so she brought her over. ”
The old lady has always been reluctant to see Shen Yumin, and she has always been exempted from asking for peace, but at this point, the old lady also waved her hand and said, "Since you are here, you are not in a hurry to leave, sit down." ”
Shen Fengxu pulled Shen Yumin over and sat down together.
Although the province is fixed every morning and dusk, not everyone is there because of the children's studies in the house. In another half a year, after Shen Fengxu applied for Bailu Academy, if he was enrolled, he would no longer have to come here every day to ask for peace.
"I didn't expect the sixth sister to like that girl so much. A girl smiled coquettishly, "Even Aunt Su rarely visits her." ”
Aunt Su is Shen Yumin's biological mother.
The speaker is Shen Yuning, the third girl in the second room, with a pair of Danfeng eyes like peach blossoms and charming, the bridge of the nose is straight, the thin lips are slightly pursed, and between a smile and a smile, she is as bright as a spring blossom and as beautiful as the autumn moon.
Seeing Shen Yuning at first glance, Shen Fengxu seemed to be slightly surprised, and asked, "Why didn't the third sister go to the academy today?"
"Today, when he was not in good health, he took leave with his master. Shen Yuning brushed it over, Xu didn't want to mention it, but her face was ruddy, her eyes were bright, she didn't have the slightest sickness, and she didn't have much confidence when she said this.
"How does the third sister know, the sixth sister was good to that girl in front of her, but haven't you seen her once in private?" Shen Yuxiang's words were yin and yang, because of the hosta, she hated Shen Fengxu.
"The fourth sister is right. Shen Fengxu nodded slightly, didn't deny it, just asked, "But the fourth sister didn't even want to call Min'er in front of people?"
Because Shen Yumin was born stupid, few people in the house were close to her, after all, this child was born with a defect, and she was a concubine, with no future or love, even if she was good friends, she was confused all day long.
But this is said in private, and it must not be put on the table.
Shen Yuxiang was about to speak, but the eldest lady cut off.
"Wind flocculent. The eldest lady called and looked at Shen Fengxu's bun, "Why didn't you wear the hairpin I gave you, isn't it something that dislikes your mother?"
Shen Fengxu hurriedly got up and said, "My daughter doesn't dare, but because it's my mother's thing, my daughter is afraid of bumping into it, so she put it in the makeup properly." ”
The eldest lady nodded, stepped forward and held Shen Fengxu's hand: "You and Bai Tang are regarded as our own, but it is inevitable that the people in the house will not act thoughtfully, if you lack something, just tell your mother." ”
Seeing this, the old lady did not speak, but still nodded with satisfaction.
After Jiang Rou's death that year, there was no one in charge of the house, and the old lady once did not allow Jiang Wan to be right, preferring Shen Yanning to marry a new woman from another family.
After all, the concubine's rectification is always a harbinger of the destruction of the family, but Jiang Wan has not done anything wrong since she was rectified, and she has put the Dongning Bo Mansion in order, and she also cares for the children in the mansion.
Shen Yumin suddenly grabbed Shen Fengxu's sleeve, and looked straight at her with a pair of transparent eyes: "Thirsty ......"
Shen Fengsu hurriedly pulled out his hand from the eldest lady's hand, picked up the teacup, blew it, and carefully fed Shen Yumin water.
"Why is the sixth sister so good at taking care of people. The fifth girl, Shen Yujia, said curiously, "I didn't think about it before." ”
Shen Fengxu just smiled: "Min'er is your and my younger sister, and taking care of her is a matter of course." ”
At this moment, Shen Yumin choked, spit out a mouthful of water, and was spitting on the eldest lady's shirt, wetting the brocade shirt.
The eldest lady's expression changed, the color of disgust was overflowing, and there was deep disgust at the bottom of her eyes, but it was only for a moment that she returned to her usual gentle demeanor.
"Feng Su is still a child in the end, although she is kind enough to take care of Yumin, she is still choking, so let the nurse come. The eldest lady waved her hand and beckoned the nurse over, "You take the seventh girl out and take care of it." ”
The nurse responded, stepped forward to take Shen Yumin away, and Shen Yumin kept looking back at Shen Fengxu before leaving, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but there were only intermittent syllables.
Shen Fengxu didn't stop him, and when he saw Shen Yumin leaving, he just sat in place with his head down, neither making a sound nor moving, just quietly listening to what others said.
The old lady has always liked Shen Yulou and Shen Yuxiang, but since Shen Yulou entered the school, only Shen Yuxiang came to ask for peace every day, and the old lady preferred Shen Yuxiang more and more.
Shen Yuxiang took a piece of danqing to the old lady as if offering a treasure: "Grandmother, look at it." ”
The painting is a splendid spring, full of flowers, the charm and moving performance of the delicate spring season is vividly and vividly, into the wood three points, so wonderful hand, enough to see the exquisite and excellent painting.
The old lady looked at it carefully for a moment and asked, "Could this be the authentic work of Xu Yan......, the former national handicraft?"
When my grandmother said that, she was praising her granddaughter. Shen Yuxiang smiled softly, "This is the granddaughter's imitation, not the real thing, the granddaughter saw this embroidered spring picture in the eldest princess's mansion before, so she begged the eldest princess to lend her granddaughter a few days, and then painted this picture." ”
"Not bad, not bad. The old lady nodded approvingly.
"That is, the fourth sister has the opportunity to go to the eldest princess's mansion, and our sisters have never even had a chance to see the real thing, where is it like the fourth sister, and you can borrow it for a few days. Shen Yuning was a little envious, and her words were full of sourness.
The old lady glanced at her: "If you have the ability, you can also borrow it for a few days, if not, you will say less." ”
Shen Yuning hurriedly said: "My granddaughter doesn't dare. ”
After another period of gossip, the old lady was tired, and said, "Go back, all of you." ”
Then they got up and took their leave, and went their own way.
