Chapter 41: The Quarrel

Shen Qiwu went back to the house, and he didn't have the heart to read anymore, so he planned to take a nap when he touched the bed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know how long it took for Huan'er to wake up the sleeping Shen Qiwu.

Shen Qiwu rubbed his eyes, feeling that he hadn't slept for a while, so he asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's time." Huan'er opened the window for her, and at this time the sky outside was already dark, and a gust of wind blew in that woke Shen Qiwu up most of his sleepiness.

Shen Qiwu yawned, muttering in his heart that time flies so fast, there is no entertainment in this era, and the afternoon time is often passed by taking a nap.

"Is dinner ready?" Shen Qiwu touched his belly, feeling a little empty.

Huan'er shook her head and said no.

"Just now, the second lady sent someone to pass the word, and we will have dinner in the front hall tonight."

Shen Qiwu frowned when he heard this, he was upset for a while, and shook his head vigorously, "If you don't go, you won't go, just eat in the small courtyard." ”

"The second lady said that it was ordered by the master." Huan'er spoke again, she didn't want to see the mean Chen like Shen Qiwu. But this is the Shen Mansion, and what Shen Fuguo said still has a certain authority.

Shen Qiwu's nostrils were heavy, and he washed his face under Huan'er's service, and walked to the front hall.

Huan'er naturally didn't follow, she was just a girl, where could she follow to the front hall to eat, she boiled herself a bowl of gruel and squatted on the stone chair in the courtyard and drank it in a big gulp.

When they came to the front hall, the food was already on the table, and Chen and Shen Yun were already sitting in their seats.

"Sister, sit next to Yun'er." Shen Yun is a child, although he is the son of the Chen family, Shen Qiwu has no ill feelings towards him.

Shen Qiwu smiled kindly at Shen Yun, and did not sit next to him, because the Chen family next to him was looking at him indifferently.

Shen Yun's little face couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he looked at his mother and then at Shen Qiwu, lowering his head and not knowing what to think again.

"Qiwu, did you have fun today?" Chen and Shen Qiwu sat facing each other, she squinted her eyes and smiled.

Shen Qiwu didn't answer, just glanced at her indifferently, and she moved her gaze to the top of the table, Shen Fuguo hadn't appeared yet.

"You don't know today, but the lord accompanied me to go shopping, and bought a lot of jewelry gouache, and Erniang will pick a few beautiful ones for you later." Chen took a sip of hot tea and looked at Shen Qiwu with a slight tilt.

"Really?" Shen Qiwu smiled, his face did not change, but the coldness in his eyes became more and more vigorous.

The fingers she held the teacup turned a little white because of the force, Shen Qiwu lowered her eyebrows, looked at the tea in the teacup, and smiled softly, "So the two of you are having a good time today?" ”

"That's natural, at this time of year, the lord will accompany me to go shopping, and I am an old husband and wife, which really makes the children see the joke." Chen said casually, her fingers raised slightly, and the golden hairpin between her hair looked at Shen Qiwu proudly.

This is what Shen Fuguo bought for her today, although a lot of new jewelry is purchased for her every year. But she is still very happy, because today is the memorial day of Shen Qiwu's mother.

There are some things that can be experienced, but they are not interesting.

Shen Qiwu snorted coldly, naturally hearing the meaning of her words.

At this time, Shen Fuguo appeared, and after he finished handling some official business in the study, he remembered that he was going to have dinner together tonight.

"Let's eat." Shen Fuguo sat down and motioned for everyone to start eating.

Shen Qiwu didn't say anything more, she took the chopsticks and started to eat by herself, she just wanted to finish early.

It's too stuffy here, and it's still my own small yard clean.

"Is it okay to go to Bishan to worship your mother today?" Shen Fuguo glanced at Shen Qiwu, who was eating silently with his head bowed, and asked casually. "Thanks to you, it's going well."

"Oh." Shen Fuguo replied and continued, "These days, the official affairs of the DPRK and China are a bit heavy, and I can't get away from my father. But since you go, your mother is happy to come. ”

"Huh?" Shen Qiwu smiled sarcastically, "Heavy official duties? Didn't the second lady say that you accompanied her to go shopping? Why, shopping is also considered official business? ”

Shen Fuguo unexpectedly glanced at the Chen family next to him, he didn't expect the Chen family to say this in front of Shen Qiwu, in the end, he still underestimated the Chen family's meanness, but he didn't care, just explained softly: "It's just an hour's time." ”

"An hour?" Shen Qiwu felt as if he had eaten gunpowder, and even the tea he drank in his mouth was so hot that people wanted to breathe fire, "You can spare an hour to accompany her, and you don't want to take an hour to see your mother?" ”

Shen Fuguo frowned, his face was a little unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "How can an hour of time to worship the dead, that is disrespectful to the dead!" ”

Shen Qiwu thought this answer was funny, the food on the table was tasteless, and she felt that she should behave more domineeringly.

So she slapped the table angrily and stood up.

"After all, you just don't want to see your mother! What bullshit is not enough for an hour, but it's just your perfunctory rhetoric! ”

"You?!" Shen Fuguo also stood up, but he was even more angry as his palms were raised and hung in the air.

Chen's eyes lit up, hoping that the next moment the old man's slap would fall on Shen Qiwu's face, because then she would wake up smiling even if she was dreaming.

Shen Qiwu was not afraid at all, but just looked at Shen Fuguo with a sneer. She hoped that Shen Fuguo's palm would come down, because in this way her feelings for the Shen family would be one less point.

However, Shen Fuguo's palm did not fall on Shen Qiwu's face in the end, he slowly put it down and hid his hands in his sleeves.

Chen was a little disappointed, but she didn't care. The days to come are still long, and one day it will be as she wishes, even if Shen Qiwu becomes the crown princess in the future, she will have to call her mother in name.

She picked a piece of meat from Shen Yun's bowl, and asked the child to eat more, grow stronger, and inherit the promised Shen family and title in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen's face was clear.

The contradiction between Shen Qiwu and Shen Fuguo is not so important at this moment, and Chen squinted his eyes as if he was watching a play.

"I'm full." Shen Qiwu felt that there was no point in staying any longer, the air here made her a little suffocated.

She thought of Uncle Dumb, maybe the story back then was really twists and turns, and she wanted to know more and more.

But at this moment, Shen Qiwu felt that he should go out and get some fresh air.

Shen Qiwu took some silver from the old housekeeper at the door, and asked the old housekeeper to tell Huan'er that she was just going out for a while and coming back, so that she didn't have to worry.

She bought a few jugs of fake wine and drank it to a small stream.
