Chapter 42: Uncle and Aunt

On the first day of the seventh month, it is the day when Hua Ling goes to the academy.

Hua Pingsheng personally sent his daughter over, and then stopped by to meet Academician Chang. Hua Ling has been studying for a long time in the academy, and now that she is really going to go, she is nervous.

"How is the gentleman of the academy, can he beat people, Sister Lin said that her husband was fierce, and he beat people with a ring ruler."

Hua Pingsheng said with a smile, "The gentlemen of Moxiang Academy don't beat people, and if they really beat people, you will pretend to be unconscious, and then go home to tell Daddy." ”

Hua Ling smiled and nodded, "I will pretend to be stunned, but why do you sue sù father?" ”

"Sue sù daddy, daddy will help you scold him, and then change to another academy to study."

Hua Ling was surprised, and felt that her father was really powerful, and he dared to scold the teacher. That's right, there is no one in his impression who he doesn't dare to scold, even the gods dare to scold.

She put her mind at ease and kept the pretending to be dizzy in mind.

When I arrived at the academy, the carriage that had been following behind also stopped.

Hua Pingsheng got out of the car and put her daughter on the ground with her arms in her arms. The carriage behind also quickly got down, and Shen Laibao took the flower bell and said, "Then let's go in, Uncle Hua." ”

"Well, go ahead." Hua Pingsheng watched his daughter go in with Shen Laibao, and he was a little worried. He didn't have much idea of throwing his son thousands of miles away to study, and he pushed the two cubs back crying and howling to go home. Now that his daughter is close at hand, he is not at ease.

No...... Did you really meet a gentleman who can play handboards?

Hua Pingsheng stood for a long time before going home, and if his wife asked, he must be calm and not let her see the clues. Otherwise, she would have to be laughed at for the rest of her life, which is not good.

Hua Ling had never been to Moxiang Academy before, so it would be a novelty everywhere. Moreover, the first day of the first day of the kindergarten class in July was the first day of the class, and she also met many little girls of the same age.

Shen Laibao had no curiosity about this place, and was almost dragged by Hua Ling, and she became holding him, "Xiaohua, you go slowly, be careful of falling." ”

"Brother Noble, I'm walking very slowly." Hua Ling was syruping, "My mother said that you can't be late for the first day." Dad also said that if you go in earlier, you can get to know more people. When she came to a fork in the road, she didn't know where to go, and looked at him attentively.

Shen Laibao couldn't help her, turned to the left, and walked faster.

Hua Ling suddenly remembered, "Brother Laibao, isn't Wenwen coming, she's the same age as me." ”

Wenwen is Shen Laibao's younger sister, and she asked, why didn't he mention it to Mrs. Shen. The girls of the Shen family are all studying at home, and according to Father Shen's words, the seven daughters can get together a school, so they simply invited a female gentleman to teach, which also made people more worry-free.

"I asked a female gentleman to teach me at home."

"I see."

Shen Laibao took her to the small class, and at a glance, it was all small beans, chattering and talking together, most of them were not restrained, and sometimes they could hear giggles. He let go and stroked her head, "Go ahead." ”

Hua Ling hesitated for a moment, and then entered inside. Shen Laibao exited the classroom, walked to the window and looked inside, Hua Ling had already spoken to them. He stood for a few more moments, until he saw her giggling and laughing with them, and then he smiled and left.

When I came out of the small class, I had to pass by the small class, and on the same road, I saw my classmates in the previous small class. Facing each other, they hesitated slightly, and Shen Laibao came close and nodded slightly. They were surprised for a moment, and then quickly nodded to him, even if it was a greeting.

Shen Laibao doesn't like them to be upright, but people are basically bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and if he helps him, Chai Qi will turn to bully them. So this kind of self-preservation mood Shen Laibao understands, although he doesn't like it. So I will definitely not be able to make deep friends in the future, I can only know each other, and I usually meet and say hello, that's all.

As soon as he thought of bullying the soft and fearing the hard, he saw Qin Qin. Xu Shifang just met those classmates, and suddenly had a more distinct sense of difference. He stepped forward quickly and said with a smile, "Qin Qin." ”

Qin Qin looked at it when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Shen Laibao, and his tense face also smiled, "Why did you take this road, didn't the middle class go to the right path?" ”

"Xiaohua starts the small class today, and I'll send her over."

"Oh......" Qin Qin said, "then you can go directly to the horse farm from here." ”

Shen Laibao also said, "Yes, you can also go with Xiaohua, it's inconvenient to go with me, but it's okay to ride in the same carriage with Xiaohua, you don't have to walk anymore, it's hot and far away." ”

Qin Qin wanted to refuse, but Shen Laibao said it again and told her to wait at the fork in the road after the hall. She said yes.

She always felt that the relationship between Shen Laibao and Hua Ling was too good, and it was clear that the two should not intersect. She frowned, but she couldn't figure it out.

&&&&&

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the Qixi Festival, the crescent moon hangs in the sky, faintly silvery white, and has been obscured by all kinds of lanterns on the street.

After the Shen family had dinner, Mrs. Shen was still telling her subordinates to clean up the scraps, so Master Shen said, "Don't be busy, get ready to go out." ”

Mrs. Shen responded and planned to go out with him, but when Shen Laibao saw it, he stood up suddenly, and the table shook, and the teacup poured on the ground, splashing the hem of Mrs. Shen's skirt. She hurriedly asked, "Noble, where did you go?" ”

"It's okay, but mother, your clothes are a little wet, go change and go out again, the night breeze is too cold."

Mrs. Shen said, "It's not in the way, it's a little wet." She glanced at her husband again, "Otherwise, your father would have to be like a Hades." ”

Master Shen was about to say that it was me who was urging the king of Hades, when he heard his son interject, "Dad definitely won't care, otherwise let grandmother come out to comment." ”

Master Shen: "...... You just go and change your clothes, I'll just wait for you. ”

Mrs. Shen couldn't resist her son, so she had to go in to change clothes. The two grandmothers also followed, and when she entered the screen and waited for her to change her clothes, they took another dress. Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand to get them dressed, and only looked down when she fastened her belt. At this glance, he immediately paused, "This is not my clothes, is it?" ”

Mama smiled, "Of course it's your wife, have you made the clothes for too long, and you forgot?" Oh, Madame looks so good in this outfit, and everyone is much brighter, and the lord will definitely like it. ”

Mrs. Shen only felt that this splendid moire top, the blue embroidered skirt was really bright, and she was uncomfortable wearing it, "No, you have to change it." ”

"Ma'am." Mama said, "It's too late for you to change it, it's not like you still have to comb your hair, the master is going to be angry." It was this night, and it was so late that no one could see it. Are you going to Peach Blossom Village, do the gods still want to judge your clothes? ”

Mrs. Shen still felt awkward, but what she said was reasonable. Well, it's night, anyway, and no one will take a closer look. She walked over to the dresser and asked Mama to unbun and recomb it. She was looking at herself in the mirror, but Mama moved the mirror so high that she couldn't see it. She stretched out her hand to press down, and a grandmother flashed in front of her, as if taking care of her bangs.

Why are these two people so strange tonight, if they hadn't served them for many years, Mrs. Shen would have been angry. She simply closed her eyes and let them toss, and then toss it was not the bun.

Mama was quick and quickly combed her hair in a bun. Mrs. Shen felt quite unaccustomed, and felt that there was hair on her forehead that was not combed properly, so she raised her hand and found that she had fine bangs on her forehead, which had always been smooth. With another flick, the bun has completely changed!

"Well, Madame seems to have changed her person, and no one dares to say that you are a ten-year-old child when you go out into the street."

Before she saw her appearance, she was praised by her grandmother left and right, and she was stunned. When Mama brought the bronze mirror, she covered her face with a "ah" sound, "I'm almost thirty years old, what are you doing dressed like this?" Quickly get my golden hairpin back, and pull out this hosta on top. And where did my broken gold pendant go? ”

She asked seven or eight pieces of jewelry that she was used to wearing, but none of them spoke. Seeing that she was angry, "What are you doing today?" I still want to be embarrassed, what do you say when the housewife dresses up with bells and whistles? ”

Mama plopped down and knelt down, "It was ordered by the young master, and the young master said that I heard that you were going to Taozhuang with the master to spend the Chinese Valentine's Day, and I wanted to give you a gift." But I didn't know what to give, so I asked us, we are women, of course we like jewelry or something. As soon as the young master heard this, he ran to buy it, maybe it was picked by the shopkeeper. ”

Hearing that it was her son's intention, Mrs. Shen, who was pulling out the hairpin, stopped her hand, and couldn't laugh or cry. The shopkeeper was also confused, he should have known that his son was ten years old, and the mother's age must not be young, but he still chose such elegant jewelry.

She thought about it, but Master Shen was also impatient to wait, and urged people to shout. She was in a dilemma, so she had to bite the bullet and go out.

The Shen family has a lot of everything, and there are more people, and when they go out this way, the people look at it one after another, and they see that Mrs. Shen doesn't want to go back to the house to change all the time. Walking to the lobby, Shen Laibao, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the sound and went to the ground, and when he saw Mrs. Shen, his eyes lit up.

He had already seen that Mrs. Shen's appearance was no worse than that of her aunts, even if she was indeed not as young as her aunts, she could still overwhelm the crowd when she dressed up, but she met a big radish like Daddy Shen, and blinded Mrs. Shen's virtuousness. He saw Mrs. Shen's embarrassment, so he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mother, you are in good spirits when you dress like this, and your jewelry is also beautiful." ”

When the mother is sure that everything is good in her son's heart, Mrs. Shen didn't get much comfort in her heart, and told him to go wash and sleep quickly, so she walked outside nervously.

Master Shen, who was waiting in the carriage, was still thinking about coming back after the scene, and he couldn't really stay there all night. She doesn't want to talk to herself, she'll suffocate to death.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a pretty woman leaned over. Old Man Shen paused, "That...... You're on the wrong bus. ”

When the words fell, he saw the person in front of him raise his eyes and stare at him, and Master Shen saw clearly that it was his own wife. He looked at her in surprise, and then went to probe her forehead, "Madame, are you sick?" ”

Mrs. Shen didn't have a good breath and said, "No." ”

Master Shen wanted to say something, so he looked at her a few more times and blurted out, "It's good-looking." ”

As soon as the two words came out, Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, and Master Shen also looked away, and simply coughed a few times, wanting to resolve the embarrassment, but ...... It didn't work.

The two of them were silent all the way, looking, silent, looking, trying to speak, but they wanted to speak and stopped. So the silence was repeated, the scrutiny, the temptation......

Shen Laibao, who sent away his father, didn't know what would happen next, things were no longer something he could predict. Maybe it will be reconciled, maybe it will be ...... Fight up.

Daddy Shen shouldn't be so ungraceful.

Shen Laibao shook his head, ready to go back to take a bath and sleep, the single dog should go to bed early tonight to avoid harm. The door of the flower house next door babbled, and the flower bell jumped out of it first. He beckoned to talk to her, and saw that the Hua family and his wife also came out, said a few words to Hua Ling, and left in the car.

Hua Ling turned around to go in, as if she saw Shen Laibao standing at the gate, and when she looked around, it was really him, "Brother Laibao." ”

Shen Laibao walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Usually Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua always have to quarrel when you go out together, why are you so well-behaved today?" ”

"Daddy said that he would take his mother to celebrate Qixi Festival. I asked Mama, and she said that children can't celebrate Tanabata, so I stayed at home and waited for them to come back. ”

Shen Laibao sighed that Daddy Hua is really a good husband, no, he accidentally compared his own scumbag father again. He suddenly remembered something, "Did you say where to spend Qixi Festival?" ”

Hua Ling said happily, "It's Peach Blossom Village, Daddy said it's very fresh, take my mother to see Peach Blossom Fairy." ”

Shen Laibao, who is the planner, smiled proudly, Daddy Hua is really a fashionable person. He thought about saying goodbye to her and going back to sleep, but it was still early, and he was tossing and turning on the bed while lying down, thinking about it and saying, "Xiaohua, why don't we play two games." ”

Hua Ling said happily, "Okay." ”

When Shen Laibao was dragged into the house by her, he looked at the immature little hand she held, and thought silently, whether he played chess, at least he didn't spend Qixi alone-although he was with a little bean ding.

&&&&&

The carriage went out of the city, and when it reached the outskirts, it should have sped up, but the carriage was still slow. Master Shen looked outside, the road where there was no one on weekdays, at this time it was all people, and the whole road was a carriage, rushing in the same direction.

Master Shen knew that it was impossible to catch the car quickly, so he could only wander over together, which meant that he had to stay with his wife for half an hour longer.

You can't let the atmosphere stay cold.

He finally spoke, "When we get there, let's say hello to the owner of the white village and come back." ”

Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows, "um", and said, "If the master feels uncomfortable, I will go and sit outside." ”

Master Shen didn't have a good breath and said, "Where I feel uncomfortable, it's you who is uncomfortable." In the past month, you have not talked to me, you have not let me touch you, I have relied on you, and it turned out to be my fault. ”

Mrs. Shen was surprised, "How could I mess with you for no reason, yes, it's not right for me to snub you for a month, but it was you who ...... before"

Forget it, don't mention it.

Master Shen almost didn't jump up, "I had the heart to reconcile with you, but you pushed me away." ”

"When?"

"That day in the room, when I saw you choking, I patted you on the back, but you pushed me away with one palm."

Mrs. Shen thought hard for a long time before she remembered, and then said, "Your strength is almost going to shoot me to death...... At first glance, I didn't pity anyone. ”

"......" Master Shen suddenly felt at a loss, "Oh...... Then next time it's a little less powerful. ”

The two people in the carriage fell into silence for a long time, and after a long time, Mrs. Shen said slowly, "I don't ask for anything, I just hope that the people brought back by the master will not harm our son." I've been thinking about Noble for the past ten years, and I've broken my heart, so I snubbed my lord and let my aunts go. Now that he's normal, I'm a mother, I can't let you mess around anymore. ”

"I know......" Master Shen admitted unwillingly, "I am easy to be deceived in this kind of thing, but how can I think that I will treasure a son." ”

"Then you promise me that if you look at any girl in the future, I will have to nod my head before I can lead me in."

Master Shen said to his lips, but he didn't dare to agree lightly. Mrs. Shen was immediately disheartened, her face darkened, and no matter how good her makeup was, she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. The instantly gloomy expression was full of disappointment, as if he had missed this opportunity, and there would be no chance to reconcile. Seeing that Master Shen's heart sank, he grabbed her hand and said, "I promise you." ”

Mrs. Shen didn't believe it immediately, and asked, "What if you don't listen?" ”

"I'll go with you to my mother's and ask her to do a notarization."

moved out his most feared mother, and Mrs. Shen believed him for five points, and the remaining five points had to look at his future appearance before she could judge.

Master Shen's voice was quite soft, "I know that I used to be a bastard, and I treated you and my son coldly, but the prodigal son didn't change his money." You are always cold to me, you are uncomfortable, I am also uncomfortable, and my mother has asked me several times in private, all accusing me. When my mother didn't favor me and loved you even more, I knew that I had done something wrong. ”

This is quite a hint that he has been reflecting on it for the past month, and Mrs. Shen felt comfortable when she heard it, she thought she was sad, but it turned out that he was also quite uncomfortable.

Master Shen said a lot of words of sympathy for her, all of which were soft words, which entered Mrs. Shen's heart. She also felt tired, who didn't want to live in harmony at home, her husband would be soft, so she would give him a chance. Thinking of this, she opened up to him.

The carriage drove leisurely towards Taozhuang, and the husband and wife, who had been in a cold war for more than a month, finally let go of their suspicions.

When they arrived at Taozhuang, Master Shen took his wife to say hello to the owner of Baizhuang and came out. Mrs. Shen thought he was going back, but who thought her husband said, "It's all here, the house is left, let's go and see." ”

Mrs. Shen's heart, which had been silent for many years, seemed to be alive again. She looked down at her outfit, I don't know if it was because of the light color of the clothes, or because there was a clear stream in her heart, and she always felt comfortable inside and out.

"Then go ahead."

&&&&&

On the second day of Qixi Festival, Mrs. Shen got up and found that her son and daughter-in-law were waiting outside the door, and they came in after she had washed up, and knelt down at her when she entered the door, blaming herself for being ignorant in recent months, which made her old man worried.

The old lady knew at a glance that the couple had reconciled, where would they be angry, and it was too late to be happy, so she shouted to them to get up.

At breakfast, Shen Laibao also noticed that Father Shen and Mrs. Shen had reconciled, although I don't know what they said last night, but it seems that things are going well.

Before breakfast was finished, the man guarding the door trotted in and said, "Master, madam, uncle is here." ”

There is only one Ge Mingxiu who came out of Mrs. Shen's compatriots, and she and the other brothers and brothers only communicate with each other during the Chinese New Year.

Thinking that my brother said that he wanted to go into business a year ago, and borrowed a sum of money from his husband, he must have lost all his money now. Her brother, she knows too well. There are not many shortcomings, that is, they are so happy, their ears are soft, and they are not married when they are thirty, so they always say that they must start a business first. She sighed secretly, because her old father and mother were not worth it.

Master Shen didn't care that he repeatedly borrowed money from him, just because this brother-in-law had a hearty temper and was good at talking, eating meat and drinking wine with him was a great joy in life, "Invite my brother-in-law in." ”

Before the next person went to report, someone at the door shouted, "Jinshan, your brother-in-law and I are here again!" ”

Shen Laibao has never seen this uncle, but occasionally heard Mrs. Shen's wife say that the uncle is not a good person and has a good personality, but he is always deceived, so scared that the Ge family does not dare to hand over the ancestral business to him, for fear that he will be defeated.

He looked curiously, and after a while, a tall and thin man came in. He was dressed very casually, a gray gown, clean and tidy, probably because of his handsome appearance, so he looked like a Confucian student studying hard at a glance. His voice was very loud, and he couldn't hold back his voice, and when he came in, he first greeted Mrs. Shen deeply.

Mrs. Shen is an old lady who can see clearly, and she doesn't know how much money her son has borrowed from him, she only knows that the visitor is a guest, and she also responds with a smile.

Above the full house, only Mrs. Shen looked at her brother with worry and helplessness in her eyes.

Ge Mingxiu saw Shen Laibao at a glance, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder hard, and patted him a step forward, "Noble Treasure, you're tall again, and your uncle brought you your favorite food!" ”

Shen Laibao meditated, sauce duck neck......

"Look! Sauce duck neck. ”

How much does True Noble love duck neck, how everyone in the world knows! And every time someone comes to visit, he must bring one. Shen Laibao was grateful to everyone for bothering to bring him duck neck, but he had eaten too much and had lost his initial appetite, so he took it with both hands and said seriously, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Ge Mingxiu was stunned, "What did you say?" ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Ge Mingxiu was still in shock, and Master Shen had already said, "Noble has returned to normal, and is smarter than ordinary children. ”

Ge Mingxiu looked down at Shen Laibao for a long time, stared at him directly, hesitated for a moment, and squatted down to hug him, "My eldest nephew, my uncle said that your mother's life will not be so bitter, just restore it, just restore it." In the future, you must be motivated and win glory for your father. ”

Shen Laibao was hugged by him and snapped urgently, and he was about to vomit out his breakfast. Hey? Why is there excitement and sadness in his voice? Shen Laibao coughed twice, and suddenly understood, "...... Uncle, did I throw gold beads at you before? ”

When Ge Mingxiu heard this, he slapped harder, full of crying, "Treasure, ......"

...... "He knew it was so!"

The Shen family was lively here, and the Hua family next door also received a letter, which made the Liao family quite concerned.

Before breakfast was finished, she stopped eating, "Really? Is my aunt really coming? ”

Hua Pingsheng put down the letter and said with a smile, "Yes, the day after tomorrow will be here." ”

Liao couldn't help but say, "She must have been annoyed by the nagging at home and ran to us for refuge." No wonder the clansmen have been writing to us lately, asking us to persuade her to find someone to marry as soon as possible. But her generation is so big, who dares to say it, she is the oldest in the clan, how dare she make a mistake, but she wants to push us out. ”

Hua Pingsheng smiled, "Let it be." ”

The aunt who mentioned the Hua family is also famous.

The old lady of the Hua family got married early, and at the age of seventeen, she had the old lady Hua. Mrs. Hua also got married early and gave birth to two brothers in Hua Pingsheng. Three years later, Mrs. Zeng, who was already in her forties, gave birth to a flower phoenix again, so the flower phoenix was three years younger than Hua Pingsheng. is not very old, but the generation is amazingly big.

The biggest headache is not this, the headache is that she has a strange temper, running around to study, swimming and swimming, she will get off the leash, and she can't pull it back. The children of girls of the same age are already in groups, but she is alone.

No, the letter said that he wanted to come to live at Hua's house.

This flower family is going to be lively.
