【Chapter 014】 Mother and daughter
[It's a new year, I wish you all a new year, a happy new year, O(∩_∩)O]
Lu Yuan arched his hand and smiled, "Fourth Miss turned out to be recuperating in the plum garden. ”
Shen Youqing felt a rare trace of embarrassment, pinched her ears, and called in a low voice: "Cousin Lu...... The aunt and the third sister are not there. ”
She thought that Lu Yuan would come to visit her aunt and cousin, but Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I know, I saw them in the flower hall just now, if the fourth lady is looking for them, you can go over there." ”
"No, it's just that I was attracted by the flowers in the yard just now, is Cousin Lu leaving?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, are you going together?" ”
"Okay."
Lu Yuan walked in front, and Shen Youqing was walking side by side, but his steps slowed down unconsciously, and he was separated from him by a distance, and Lu Yuan had to stop and talk to her from time to time.
"Did the fourth lady hear Ah Lang's words just now?"
That prince said it so loudly and gritted her teeth so much, it was hard for her to hear it.
When Lu Yuan saw Shen Youqing's expression, he smiled: "Ah Lang is a child's heart, so Miss Fourth doesn't mind." ”
"I won't bother with him, he's my cousin, and he's the prince of Qi, I don't dare." Shen Youqing frowned inadvertently, and quickly dispersed.
Listening to Shen Youqing's somewhat sour words, Lu Yuan only said that she was a little girl's temper, so she laughed and didn't say anything until she left.
Every moment of time, the Shen Mansion will light the lamp, and at this moment the lights are bright, and I saw a figure coming over from a distance, and Shen Youqing saw that it was Mama An, so he stepped forward and shouted.
"Fourth Miss, the old slave is about to look for you."
"What are you looking for me to do?" Shen Youqing asked knowingly, her sharp-eyed Mama An lowered her head and didn't know what to say, so she smiled again: "I know the way home, but I just met Cousin Lu and talked to him for a while." Mama, is my mother still angry? ”
Mama An immediately shook her head and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Fourth Miss, don't take this matter to heart, mother and daughter are enemies, quarrels are inevitable, Madame is stubborn, it is inevitable that she will get into the horns, and one day Madame will figure it out." ”
Shen Youqing nodded meekly, "What Mama said is that I wrote it down." ”
This is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to do, otherwise, Pei would not have ignored her daughter for more than ten years......
"Fourth Miss, but you want to go back to the garden?"
Shen Youqing was about to turn around, when she suddenly thought of her grandfather's words, and returned to her original posture, "It's still early, I want to go see my mother." ”
When he came to Pei's Jade Garden, he had just arrived in the courtyard when he heard Pei's laughter coming from the house, Shen Youqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to go in or go back.
Mama An noticed her abnormality, so she encouraged again: "Fourth Miss, let's go in, Madame is talking to the prince." ”
The implication is that if someone is here, Pei's will not do anything to her.
Shen Youqing smiled wordlessly......
"That girl, she's a ghost when she's young." Shen Youqing heard this sentence before she entered the house, and when Pei Shi saw her coming, he stopped the topic.
Shen Youqing walked up to Pei Shi and saluted, "Mother." ”
Before Pei Shi could speak, the little demon king next to him spoke: "Since the fourth young lady is here, the child will leave first." ”
The little devil has always been playful when he speaks, and it is precisely because he has a sweet mouth and can speak that the elders ignore his shortcomings and spoil him wholeheartedly.
Well, clever......
"Mama An, ask someone to send the son back."
Xiao Lang stared at Shen Youqing for a long time, and finally left with a snort.
Shen Youqing looked back at his back and disappeared, muttering something inexplicable.
Looking back, Shen Youqing was stunned, Pei's gaze was soft at this time, probably the reflection of candlelight.
"We're going to set the table for dinner right away, so let's leave a piece for dinner." Pei Shi said softly, I don't know if it was Shen Youqing's illusion, she felt that there was a little pleading in her mother's tone......
Shen Youqing was extremely well-behaved and sat down next to Pei.
The meals made in Pei's small kitchen are very simple, three dishes and one soup, the portion is not large, it is estimated that it is only enough for two people, Shen Youqing saw a pastry at first sight, it was pea yellow, the only snack that Pei would make in his memory......
"Why don't you eat it?"
Pei Shi saw that she hadn't moved her chopsticks, just staring at the pea yellow that was in poor condition, so he personally filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of her.
Shen Youqing showed a flattered expression, "Thank you, mother." ”
Pei Shi looked at her for a long time, but didn't say anything, this daughter is very unfamiliar with her, the last time the old lady said that the girl's appearance followed her father, in fact, it was just the old lady's compliment, to talk about the appearance, the girl's appearance is five or six out of ten with her.
Thinking back to missing the time with his daughter over the years, he couldn't help but regret it, so he gave Shen Youqing a lot of dishes in a row.
"Mother, did you make this pea yellow?"
Shen Youqing's fierce opening made Pei Shi happy, and a restrained smile revealed: "Yes, yes, I remember that when I was a child, your second sister liked to eat this the most, and my mother would only make this, try it, is it delicious?" ”
Second sister, I like to eat this......
Shen Youqing's second sister Shen Youfu is twenty-eight years old, as her name suggests, she is said to be the most handsome of her peers in the Shen family's third room, and she is also ranked first compared with other ladies in the capital.
Shen Youfu was accused of being given the prince of the Hou Mansion a few years ago, because Mrs. Hou and the Qin nobles in the palace are sisters, Shen Youfu was also honored to be invited into the palace to learn basic etiquette, which is a blessing that many people can't enjoy.
"Second sister...... Also like to eat this? ”
Shen Youqing picked up a piece of pea yellow and smiled slightly.
Pei Shi didn't notice the word "also" in Shen Youqing's words, only focused on his daughter's smile, and said with a smile: "Yes, you can taste it too." ”
Shen Youqing smiled, and the pea yellow in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden......
Mama An secretly worried about Madame's uprightness, Fourth Miss This is probably a taste, the sharp-eyed Shen Youqing is leaving, she doesn't care about etiquette, she stepped forward and sandwiched a piece of pea yellow for Shen Youqing: "Fourth Miss, I know you don't like sweets, so you deliberately put less sugar when making pea yellow, which was made by Mrs. herself." ”
Less sugar?
How sweet it was, and from the moment she came in, she smelled a sweet greasy smell.
Shen Youqing frowned, she really didn't like sweets, but she also knew that Mama An was looking for steps for the Pei family, and how could she, as a daughter, ignore her mother's feelings......
"Since Fourth Miss doesn't like sweets, don't force it."
Shen Youqing was about to eat the pea yellow, Pei's voice rang in her ears, and her movements stopped, this is the limit of her mother's patience, the limit of her coquettishness, there is no moment, she will want to shed tears like at this moment.
Pei Shi glanced at the pea yellow that was put down by Shen Youqing, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and ordered, "Let's eat." ”
Shen Youqing finished the meal with chewing wax, then got up and left, and Pei Shi didn't say another word.
Walking to the courtyard, Mama An chased after her and handed her a delicate snack box, "Fourth Miss, this pea yellow is really made for you by Mrs. herself, you know, Mrs. will only make this pastry, she also knows that you don't like sweet and greasy things, so I thought about not adding sugar, but I was afraid that the unsweetened pea yellow would not taste good, so I put sugar again...... Fourth Miss, Madame, she really wants to make up for your ......"
Mama An's words were sincere, so that people could not refuse, Shen Youqing was moved by her words, took the food box, and thanked her.
"Mother is lucky."
"What?"
"Mother is very lucky to have Mama An by her side."
