Chapter 47
As soon as Shen Qinrou walked with her front foot, someone rushed to the direction of Songhetang with her back foot.
"Alright, you can go down." Old Mrs. Shen stiffened her face, and retreated respectfully. Mother Liu poured a cup of tea for the indistinguishable old lady Shen, "Old lady, you say, third miss her?" Mother Liu's voice was soft and long, and she wanted to speak.
Old Mrs. Shen grabbed a stack of teacups, and with a "ping" sound, some splashed tea wet her snow-white fingertips, "She dare!"
Mother Liu's neck shrank, she didn't speak properly, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tip of Old Lady Shen's hand.
Red Sleeves was about to pull the curtain into the house, his eyes turned to the house, and then looked at the maid guarding the door, the maid frowned and shook her head, Red Sleeves withdrew his hand on the coral bead curtain, stood outside the door and said respectfully: "Old lady, dinner has been set up in the small flower hall." ”
Mother Liu was a little cautious and flattered with a smile, "Old lady, let's eat first, your body is important." ”
Old Mrs. Shen snorted softly from her throat, and was helped by Mother Liu to the Little Flower Hall.
As if expecting Shen Congwen to come, Mrs. Shen sat at the dining table without moving, looking like waiting for someone. ”
Old Mrs. Shen waved her hand, "Add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”
Mother Liu responded crisply, walked out quickly, and saw Shen Congwen who had arrived at the door, and saluted respectfully.
Shen Congwen nodded lightly to greet him.
Seeing that Shen Congwen didn't look like he had come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, Mrs. Shen had a little idea in her heart, so she didn't mention anything else, and blindly drank tea. After drinking tea for a long time and pouring a stomach of water, Shen Congwen said: "Mother, I met Mrs. Wen when I returned home in the evening. ”
Old Mrs. Shen put down the cup, glanced at him, and said "um".
Shen Congwen said again: "Mrs. Wen said that she came to make amends. ”
Old Mrs. Shen simply pretended to be stupid, "Really?" I forgot about it. ”
"Mother." Shen Congwen called Mrs. Shen heavily, "Is it so difficult to tell the truth to your son?" ”
Old Mrs. Shen moved her mouth, she didn't know what she was feeling in her mouth, she stared at Shen Congwen with a pair of eyes, and two crow's feet were pulled up at the corners of her eyes, "Second child, what do you want to hear the truth?" Does it seem to you that your mother is trying to coax you?"
Shen Congwen made amends, softened his posture and said: "My son didn't mean that, the eldest girl had an accident in the Wen Mansion, I am her father anyway, and it stands to reason that there should be a person to ward me." ”
"You!" Old Mrs. Shen laughed angrily, who did she work so hard for, seeing that she couldn't hide it, Old Mrs. Shen didn't want to worry too much about her son, so as not to hurt the relationship between mother and son, so she directly ordered Mother Liu, "You go and tell him." After that, he walked away angrily.
Shen Congwen got up and saluted in the direction where Old Lady Shen left.
Mother Liu hadn't reacted yet, she sighed, it was really a fairy fight, and the little ghost suffered, and when she came back to her senses, she began to think about what to say and how much to reveal.
"Tell me the truth." Shen Congwen glanced at her lightly.
Mother Liu's smile instantly froze on her face, and she said a few words of truth that could be said.
"When the eldest lady went to the banquet at the Wen family, she was almost slighted by the young master of the Huang family. As soon as the words fell, Shen Congwen's face turned blue, and Liu's mother was silent.
"What else?" Shen Congwen blushed and said coldly.
Mother Liu lowered her hands and looked down at the ground, "The other old slaves don't know." ”
The hand under his sleeve was clenched into a fist, his eyes were closed, and he lightly instructed Liu's mother, "Serve the old lady for dinner." Fang opened his eyes and left.
Mother Liu swallowed her saliva, and when Shen Congwen walked away, she glared at the two maids outside the door, and scolded: "I didn't hear it, the old lady is going to eat later, remove the table, and hurry up to let the kitchen prepare food at any time." ”
In the twilight, the orange lanterns under the eaves of the beams sway in the wind like bellflowers.
Shen Qinxin picked and picked among the lotus plates with the silver, and he didn't have any appetite, "Hasn't your father come over yet?" ”
Chao Lu stood aside to serve, raised his chopsticks and put a peony cake in her bowl, and smiled, "The second master didn't let people say anything, then he would definitely come over, it is estimated that something will be delayed." ”
Shen Qinxin pursed his lips, picked up the peony crisp and took two bites, and then listened to the maid outside, "The second master is here." Chaolu threw a look at her: I'll just say it. Shen Qinxin smiled back at Chaolu.
"Father." She got up in high spirits.
Shen Congwen smiled at his daughter, his cold face was slightly moved, his hand clenched the scroll in his palm slightly, and his face changed back to eternal ice.
Shen Qinxin keenly sensed that something was wrong with his father, looked at him, and whispered to him, "Did my father bring me a painting?" His gaze fell on the scroll in his hand.
Shen Congwen silently handed the painting to her, Shen Qinxin smiled at Shen Qinwen, and curiously took the scroll and unfolded it, "Isn't this Chaolu?" Before she finished speaking, her pupils shrank sharply, and her face turned pale, "Father." She shouted to Shen Congwen urgently, threw down the painting, and grabbed Shen Congwen's sleeve.
Shen Congwen looked at her carefully from top to bottom, and his sharp eyes almost pierced Shen Qinxin's heart.
"The Wen family sent it." He said coldly.
Shen Qin was shocked, "Wen family, what Wen family." ”
Shen Congwen raised his head and closed his eyes, his mood was heavier than his face, "If people don't know, unless they don't do it." ”
Although Daxia allows businessmen to take the exam, but Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen will always be at the bottom of the class, how prejudiced Hanlin scholars are against businessmen, Shen Congwen can be born from businessmen, from Xiucai to Jinshi, all the way to Hanlin to serve, although there is silver to pave the way, but his talent is also real, and his intelligence is needless to say.
The third daughter, who had not shown up for a long time, suddenly sent her a painting, Mrs. Wen's visit, and her mother's words were unknown, he was not unexpected, but he didn't want to think about it, but after an idea was born, countless branches would grow wildly, forcing people to think and face it.
The smart and clever daughter in front of her is not like her mother at all!
Her mother, what a kind, what a woman.
Shen Congwen was hit and took a step back.
"Father, listen to me." Shen Qinxin was frightened by his look, cried and scratched her sleeves, and resolutely refused to let go of the last straw, "Father, you have to believe me, I was wronged." ”
Shen Congwen didn't want to look at Shen Qinxin now, and his deep disappointment was beyond words.
Treat unjustly? He really wanted to laugh, who had wronged her? Someone said her, didn't they? He wants to sue her, daughter, you don't tell yourself.
Stupid, stupid.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his daughter, who had been pampered for many years, and his mouth was full of bitterness, "Xin'er, what do you still want your father to do?" For you to avoid being bullied by your mother-in-law, my father has not married for many years, I am afraid that you will suffer in the house, so I will take Aunt Zhao out to be a live target, Aunt Tong has a meritorious heir, I am jealous of you, and I dare not lift her. ”
"Aunt Zhao is not sorry for you at all, you were born at the same time as the third girl, because you were born prematurely, you will be weak when you come out, you don't drink the nurse's mother, Aunt Zhao will personally milk you, you are sick from time to time, she takes care of you in plain clothes. You complained that the big girl got the mother's love that you never received, but you didn't know that Aunt Zhao had paid you all the money. in the same room, hurting your own sister, this is your reward for her!" Shen Congwen waved his sleeves vigorously, directly swaying Shen Qinxin to the ground, and the voice fell from the top of her head, "You have a good life, think about it." ”
Shen Qinxin collapsed to the ground, looking at the sky-blue robe that disappeared in front of the door, and wept, "Father, father." ”
