Chapter Twenty-Nine: Plan Ahead

The woman's pinching of her face was not very strong, and when Shen Laibao returned home, the red marks on her cheeks had disappeared. Seeing that Father Shen was in the lobby, he secretly pinched his face along the original mark, it was not painful, but there was a red mark.

When Father Shen saw his son coming back from outside, he frowned and said, "Aren't you reading in the study?" ”

"Xiaohua asked me to take her to Sibaozhai to buy pen and ink, so I took her there, and now I am about to go back to the room."

Hearing that it was a favor for the daughter of the old man Hua, Father Shen didn't pursue it, and suddenly saw that his son's cheeks were red, like a finger mark, and hurriedly pulled him over, "Noble, how did the injury on your face come about, did you fight with Lingling?" ”

Shen Laibao couldn't cry or laugh, "If I really fought with Xiaohua, I wouldn't have been caught like this." ”

Father Shen retorted, "Eh, it is said that a gentleman doesn't do anything, and Dad believes that you won't do anything with a woman, so it's not strange to be pinched by her." ”

Shen Laibao followed his words and said, "It's not Xiaohua who pinched it, it's a strange woman, and I don't know what her name is." ”

Daddy Shen's brows furrowed even deeper, "Who! Dad went to arrest her and reprimand her. ”

Shen Laibao tilted his head, "I don't recognize her, but listening to her talk, she seems to be quite familiar with your father, pinching my face vigorously, and saying that she will talk to me another day." Oh, it's a beautiful older sister with a nice voice. ”

Father Shen suddenly smelled some clues, stopped asking, and asked his son to go back to the room quickly. At the end, he called out to him again, a little uncertain, "She really pinched your face?" ”

"That's right, Ah Wu saw it, Xiaohua saw it, and Xiaohua's nurse Mama Ge also saw it." Shen Laibao said again, "If you remember who it is, Dad, you must tell her, don't pinch so hard next time, it hurts so much that my face will be crooked." ”

After that, he rubbed his face and went in, leaving Master Shen in his thoughts. He furrowed his brow, and finally got up and walked out.

Ah Wu, who was lying in the corridor and watching, saw him leave in a hurry, hurriedly caught up with Shen Laibao's footsteps, and whispered, "Master, he's out." ”

Shen Laibao answered, he must have gone to the woman's, "Follow up, inquire clearly." ”

"Yes."

Ah Wu Ma ran to follow, secretly thinking that the young master was trying to prevent the future sixth aunt from entering the door, and he was really bold. But speaking of which, the future sixth aunt was so bold that she dared to pinch the face of the young master of the Shen family, she really couldn't enter the door of the Shen family, and she deserved!

Shen Laibao did not go back to the room, but went to Mrs. Shen's room, and pinched his face again before entering the door, and he disliked it once he pinched it, full of baby fat, and this natural fat would not disappear no matter how many times he exercised.

Old Mrs. Shen heard her grandson coming over and chatting with her, so she hurriedly called him over to sit. Mrs. Shen, who was waiting for her, felt strange why her son came over at this hour. As soon as he entered the door and knelt down, as soon as his head was raised, Mrs. Shen, who was always looking at her son, exclaimed, "Noble, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Shen Laibao touched his cheek and shook his head, "Mother, it's nothing." ”

Mrs. Shen didn't see it, but her daughter-in-law's voice was anxious and surprised, and she was also nervous, "Come over and let grandmother take a look." ”

Shen Laibao took a step forward and let go to show her, Old Lady Shen looked at the red face, and said angrily, "Who did it!" ”

"My grandson doesn't know either, but my father should know him, and he's a pretty good-looking sister."

Old Mrs. Shen snorted, "The last five words plus your father knows, grandma already knows what kind of demon it is." She glanced at Mrs. Shen and blamed, "You really can't keep people, it's not an exaggeration to have a few concubines in a big family, but you also know your husband's vision." Look at the second aunt of the fox girl, now that she is a little more divided, there is another third aunt, not to mention that she will harm my grandson if she hooks up with people. The fourth aunt and the fifth aunt are not good people, they change their ways to secretly save money all day long, don't think I don't know, it's just for my granddaughter's sake. ”

Her husband wanted to take a concubine, and Mrs. Shen was also sad, but what could she do, what could she do, and in the end, he was upset, and it was not himself who was tossed.

Mrs. Shen said, "It's good to have a few more people to serve, but this hasn't been carried into the door yet, and she dares to attack my grandson without a name, and she may be a bold third aunt in the future." No, when Jinshan comes back, you let him come to my room, and I will ask him what is going on in person. ”

Shen Laibao didn't want Daddy Shen to suspect him, so he came to slap himself again, and said, "Grandmother, that sister's voice is very good, and she looks like a good person." ”

Mrs. Shen sighed, "You are still young, you don't understand, grandmother understands this in her heart, you go back to the study." She called the maidservant girl to the backyard to ask Dr. Li to come and show him, and waited wholeheartedly for the unfilial son to come back.

Back in the study, Shen Laibao thought that even if he used his face and borrowed the power of Old Lady Shen to block the sixth aunt this time, there would still be a seventh aunt and an eighth aunt in the future, this time the sixth aunt was stupid, and he sent it to the door for him to intercept. But what if it's smarter?

If it weren't for the arrogance of the sixth aunt, maybe she was carried into the door before he knew that Father Shen had taken a concubine again.

In the final analysis, Mrs. Shen is not strong.

Shen Laibao knows that men are by nature, not to mention that Father Shen is not short of money, and there will be no shortage of people who are willing to marry him as a concubine in the twentieth room. But Daddy Shen's vision is really bad, and when he is beautiful, he loses his judgment. In addition to being very good at business, Father Shen has handled the affairs of the inner house in a mess.

Master Shen didn't come back until the evening, and when he entered the door, he heard that his mother was going to see him, and he had a premonition, and he said angrily, "That bastard boy must have sued again." ”

The servant woman who was waiting for him to return said, "The young master went over to ask for peace, and the old lady asked when she saw that he had a wound on his face." The young master mentioned that the girl seemed to be a good person, but the injuries were all burned on her face, and the old lady didn't believe it, so she called you over to ask questions. ”

When Master Shen heard this, he knew that he had misunderstood his son, but the place where the pinching was so difficult to eliminate, it can be seen that she was really ruthless, and she was crying just now that she just pinched it gently, and he was almost deceived!

The most precious thing in his life, in addition to his parents, is his son, and the woman dares to pinch his son, looking at the embryo of a third aunt.

He shook his head again and again, and went to the room to see the old mother.

Old Mrs. Shen really mentioned this matter to him, and before she could speak, Master Shen promised not to carry her into the door. When Mrs. Shen's goal was achieved, there was nothing to persuade, so she told him a few words and asked him to retreat.

Master Shen was so concerned about his son's injury that he didn't go back to the room, and went directly to see his son.

Shen Laibao was pinched three times today, and now his face is really a little scarred, so Master Shen felt remorse when he saw his son, and pulled him over and sighed, "It's my father's fault, I shouldn't have found a woman like that, but don't worry, son, from tomorrow, she won't appear in front of you again." ”

Shen Laibao was silent and said, "Dad, grandmother said that the woman who pinched my face was going to be the sixth aunt of the Shen family, right?" ”

Master Shen said, "Yes, but not now." ”

"Father, I heard that you used to take concubines because your son couldn't inherit the Shen family's family business, nor could he get fame and glory in the family, so he still wanted a son, but he didn't get his wish. Now that the son has recovered, he is willing to listen to you, test his fame, and inherit your mantle, so there is no need to take a concubine. ”

Master Shen was speechless for a while, he took a concubine to give birth to a son, and secondly to satisfy his selfish desires. didn't expect his son to mention this to him, and even mention it to his face.

"Is the father not at ease with his son and wants to have another brother? But it would be too dangerous to bring in someone like the third aunt and the future sixth aunt. And if you eat with one more mouth, you will spend an extra amount of money, which is really unnecessary. It's not like a businessman, who never trades at a loss. ”

Master Shen was quite surprised, and after he moved with emotion, he knew what he knew? He was surprised for a while, and then felt that his words were reasonable. The third aunt made him wear a green hat, and almost killed his son, if there is another one...... He suddenly felt a chill down his spine, "Noble, are you really willing to listen to your father's words, inherit the family business, or take the test for fame?" ”

Shen Laibao nodded, he was willing to try the ancient imperial examination, and he could also go back to his old business profession, if he got fame and was tired of being an official, he could come back to do business. Start over and try everything, but this life is not in vain.

Master Shen had mixed feelings in his heart, and his romantic thoughts were also covered by his son's filial piety, "If you can make a difference, even if your father dismisses other aunts, it will be fine." ”

Shen Laibao remembered that except for the third aunt who had been executed by the government, the other four aunts all had daughters, but he didn't expect that Father Shen could also be dismissed lightly. In the end, he still underestimated the attitude of men towards women in these years, "What about sisters? ”

"They are the Shen family, of course they have to stay in the Shen family."

Shen Laibao didn't have any thoughts about those aunts, but once the aunts were expelled, those little girls would have no mothers, and Mrs. Shen had to worry more. In both public and private, he felt that it was good to maintain the status quo, as long as he didn't add new concubines to the house, "It's okay now, if you make a mistake, you can deal with it." ”

Master Shen nodded in agreement, and when he came out of the room, he reacted, eh, how did you listen to your son's words just now, and he regarded him as an adult.

However, the son is indeed like a little adult in the world.

He secretly sighed that the Shen family was hopeful in the future.

&&&&&

At the end of June, the sky seemed to be ten days in parallel, ** scorching people's heads, sweat beads rolled down from the forehead, and the sweat towel was wet in just a moment.

But Shen Laibao is not hot at all now, although there was no refrigerator in ancient times, but large families would always store ice cubes in winter and move them out when it was hot.

His study was as cold as early autumn, and he had a thin coat on his shoulders, just to keep out the cold.

Hua Ling was sitting at the table nibbling on watermelon, spitting out melon seeds little by little, eating very attentively. This look looked very cute, and Shen Laibao couldn't help but lie in front of her and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Hua Ling nodded, "It's delicious, Brother Noble, don't you eat it?" ”

"I ate half of it last night, and I'm afraid my stomach won't be able to hold it." Shen Laibao touched his stomach and said, "Xiaohua, do you like to eat peaches?" ”

Hanazuki likes to eat a lot of things, but she doesn't eat much, "I like it." ”

"Do you remember the last time that Peach Blossom Zhuangzi? The peaches are ripe, and they will be picked the day after tomorrow, so if you like them, let's go together. ”

Hua Ling loves to play, of course she is willing to go when she hears this kind of thing, and she still remembers that there are a lot of fireflies there, this time, she wants to catch them with him, so she nodded briskly, "Hmm." ”
