Chapter Fifty-Six: Awkward Situation
Shen Wenhan looked at his eldest daughter who was following him, silent, not knowing what she was thinking, and the words of reprimand came to his lips, but he was stunned.
Shen Yuqiao was a very thoughtful girl when she was a child, so she was also very favored by him, and even saw that this daughter was heavier than your brother. In front of Shen Yue just now, if he didn't speak first, he was afraid that Shen Yue would be angry and she would have to suffer, so he scolded out loud. But even when she left the study, her daughter didn't seem to have half a word to say to him. Shen Wenhan opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say half a word, sighed and returned to the main house.
Mrs. Qin saw that Shen Yue had not returned to Changchun Garden for a long time, so she sent the little maid over to take a look, but saw Shen Yue in the study facing a painting for a long time.
When the little maid came back to report to Mrs. Qin, Mama Zhou was only afraid that Mrs. Qin would be sad, so she sent the maid away, so she persuaded softly: "Madame, don't be sad, be careful." The left is just a painting, the old lady is probably afraid of some damage after a long time, so he took it out to see, after all, it is the only thing left by people. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Needless to say, I understand." ”
Mama Zhou knew that she was still sad, so she thought about how to persuade her. Mrs. Qin patted Mama Zhou's hand and said softly, "Mama don't worry, I understand." Ye still has me in his heart, even if it's just because he looks similar. Just because he risked being questioned and pulled me out of the pile of the dead, and he respected me all these years, and I was content. It's just that sometimes I think of him just because I am similar to the person in his heart, so it is inevitable that he treats me differently. Don't worry, Mama, I'm almost forty years old, and I'm not the kind of age when love is more serious. ”
While the two were talking, Shen Yue pushed the door in, looked at Mrs. Qin with tears in her eyes, and asked Mama Zhou with a sinking face, "Madam, what's wrong?" Who her off? ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin hurriedly pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "No, it's just that the wind blew your eyes." ”
Shen Yue only thought that Mrs. Qin didn't want to be investigated, and he was even more displeased: "Mama Zhou, you just have to say, who made Madame sad!" ”
Hearing this, Mama Zhou was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Mrs. Qin's soft voice: "Ye Mo asked, no one really provokes the concubine, but I am sad to see that Xiao'er's girl looks so similar to me when I was a child, thinking that I can't have a child." ”
Mrs. Qin can't give birth, this is all because she was injured when she was young, and she almost died on the battlefield that time, if it wasn't for Shen Yue to pick her out and find someone to heal, she would have died more than ten years ago. However, people are saved, but they cannot have children in this life, and they will not be complete in the end. Fortunately, she also saw it and never mentioned it, but Shen Yue knew that there was a knot in her heart after all, so she stopped mentioning it at the moment.
Mrs. Qin has been with Shen Yue for many years, so she naturally knows Shen Yue's temper, and she no longer speaks at the moment, waiting for Shen Yue to go to the clean room to bathe and change clothes.
Before going to bed, Shen Yue looked at Mrs. Qin's face that was not half old, hugged her in his arms and whispered: "The third girl is a sensible child, and her temperament is good, if you stay alone in the mansion and panic, let someone call her over to be your companion." ”
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she hugged Shen Yue tightly and swallowed back her tears.
When she saw Shen Yuxiao on the second day, Mrs. Qin smiled very kindly, as if she had seen her own child.
Mrs. Qin's identity in the Shen family is a bit special, according to common sense, the Fang family is a wife and she is a concubine, but Shen Yue has never said that Mrs. Qin is a concubine, and even the maids and servants in the entire Changchun Garden call her Mrs. However, in order to distinguish herself from the Fang family, she was called Mrs. Qin.
This is difficult for Shen Yue's children and grandchildren, they can't follow their subordinates to call Mrs. Qin.
Fortunately, the descendants of the Shen family are all good-natured, and they didn't have much embarrassment to come up with a reasonable name. Shen Wenshan's brothers called Mrs. Qin Aunt Qin, while Shen Yuxiao and they were simple, directly calling Grandmother Qin.
Although it is a bit nondescript, but fortunately, it is just a matter of the Shen family behind closed doors, and no one gossips, so that's it.
Although Mrs. Qin came to the mansion like the old lady, she was not a serious elder after all, so Shen Wenshan and his brothers only gave Fang a daily greeting. However, there are a few sisters Shen Yuxiao, who come out of Songhe Courtyard every day, and they all have to go to Changchun Garden.
Early in the morning, Shen Yuxiao went to Songhe Courtyard at the usual time.
Fang Shi was still the same, lying on the bed, but his eyes were clear, and he looked energetic.
Shen Yuanxiang is the granddaughter of the Fang family, so the Fang family is still very affectionate, and she serves by the Fang family's side until midnight. So Shen Yuxiao didn't see Shen Yuanxiang when she arrived at Songhe Courtyard, but Shen Yuqiao looked a little tired.
Noticing Shen Yuxiao's gaze, Shen Yuqiao raised his head but laughed at himself in his heart. Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or female popularity, she can say that everything is no worse than Shen Yuxiao, but for Shen Yue, she is more interested in this Shen Yuxiao, who is one year younger than her. has always been as proud as her, how can she accept it. Originally, because of the self-invitation to the palace last night, I was upset, and I didn't rest well, but Ma had an argument with her early in the morning, how could she still have energy.
As soon as Shen Wenhan went back last night, he told Ma about the outer study, and when he heard that Shen Yuqiao had broken into the outer study and invited himself into the palace, and he made a lot of nonsense, Ma was angry and wanted to go to Shen Yuqiao's courtyard. Because it was too late, he was stopped by Shen Wenhan.
So early in the morning, Ma sent Shen Wenhan away and went directly to Shen Yuqiao's courtyard.
The Hexiang Courtyard is still a relatively large courtyard, in addition to the main house, there are also two small cross-courtyards. Shen Yuqiao's sisters each occupied one.
Shen Yuqiao lives in the West Cross Courtyard, and there is an extra corridor from Ma's main house. When Ma Shi arrived in the house, Shen Yuqiao had already freshened up and was sitting in front of the window in a daze.
Ma Shi held back the fire all night, and now when he sees Shen Yuqiao, he has carefully cultivated such a shameless and bold person. When he was angry, he walked straight in, and before Shen Yuqiao could shout, he slapped her on the arm.
That face was so delicate, the Ma family couldn't do it after all, and slapped Shen Yuqiao, and tears rolled in his eyes: "It's really bold, I didn't have the shame to invite myself into the palace, whether it was my mother who treated you badly, or the Shen family who treated you badly." is so anxious to marry herself, what girl in the world is as ...... as you"
Hearing this, Shen Yuqiao covered his arm that was beaten by Ma's, but in fact, Ma's didn't exert any force at that moment, and it didn't hurt at all. It's just that Ma's approach hit her hard in the heart. Originally, she was already under a lot of pressure in her heart, so she knelt down. She felt that at least Ma could understand her, but now Ma's reaction couldn't help but make her sneer: "What's wrong with me?" Didn't you always want me to marry into the princess's family? If I enter the palace, it won't be better than you expected, and what kind of temperament do you have? ”
"But you shouldn't be whispering and begging others." Ma was angry that Shen Yuqiao didn't care about the spirit she gave her on weekdays.
Shen Yuqiao laughed out loud: "Is this something embarrassing? I kneel to my own grandfather, and I want to be my own grandfather, is this a shameful thing? It's ridiculous. ”
