Shu'er's surname is Shen, and she is the distant niece of the old lady Feng in the second room of the Jiang family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shen Shuer's mother is a distant sister of the Feng family, and she also married into a merchant family with a small fortune in Jinling that year.

Whenever Feng was homesick, he would invite Shen Shu'er's mother, Xiao Feng, to come to the house to speak, and over time, the relationship became close.

Xiao Feng's son had a difficult life and did not get pregnant for many years after marriage. The husband wanted to divorce his wife and remarry, but he was afraid of offending the Feng family, who was good friends with him, so he accepted a concubine and gave birth to several concubines. And Xiao Feng did not give birth to a daughter Shen Shu'er until she was thirty years old, but she was injured, but she died in a month's time, leaving Shen Shu'er who was still in swaddling clothes.

Without a wife, Xiao Feng's husband naturally wants to marry again, and Feng knows that he will not treat Shen Shu'er well, so he plans to take Shen Shu'er to raise him personally in the name of Xiao Feng's suicide note.

Even if Xiao Feng's husband no longer loves Shen Shu'er, he has no reason to give his daughter to others to raise, and Xiao Feng also left a large dowry, how can he be willing to give it to others.

But the Feng family, who has been the housewife of the Jiang family for decades, relied on tough means to make him agree to send Shen Shu'er to the Jiang Mansion to raise him, and he can't visit at will. As a condition, Xiao Feng's dowry remained in the Shen family, and to this day, I am afraid that it has been almost spent.

After the Feng family adopted Shu'er, all the living expenses were compared with Miss Jiangfu's specifications. Jiang Qingliu, who was four years old at the time, had already begun to enlighten and could no longer snuggle up to himself every day. Shu'er's arrival not only filled the emptiness in her heart, but also made up for her regret that she didn't have a daughter, so Feng has always taken good care of Shu'er and loved her very much.

So, how could Shu'er, who was spoiled by the Feng family, hide and cry secretly because she broke a teacup? Jiang Qingliu definitely didn't believe it. And he guessed a few points about the reason.

The daughter of a merchant who was raised from outside was regarded by the Feng family as a pearl in the palm of her hand, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction among others. For example, those real Miss Jiang family.

Feng has no daughters, but he has granddaughters. Jiang Qingliu is her forty-year-old son, and her three sons are all past the age of establishment, and the children under her knees are also in their teens, which is the same as Shu'er.

Shu'er is so liked by the Feng family, and her serious granddaughters are naturally a little tasteful. But even if Feng Shi has a preference in his heart, he can treat them with a bowl of water on weekdays. And she is very majestic at home, although the granddaughters in the second room are not close to Shu'er, they are never embarrassed by it.

What really makes Shu'er shed tears is the young ladies in the other two rooms.

Whenever there is a banquet at home, or a gathering between sisters to play, Shu'er is either left out in the cold or sarcastic. She is weak and not good at arguing, so she can only endure silently and cry secretly.

When he was young, Jiang Qingliu's temperament was still enthusiastic, and after seeing Shu'er cry a few times, he was determined to seek justice for his sister, and several times used some insects and mice to scare those cousins into discoloration, nightmares, and smells. But after that, his behavior and words did restrain a lot, and he no longer sneered at Shu'er.

It's just that since Jiang Qing left the house and traveled, his temperament has changed a lot, and he no longer cares about people or things at home, and he rarely even shows his face. So these cousins reverted to their old ways, and Shen Shuer often hid and shed tears again. I'm afraid that most of today's events are the cause.

When I arrived at the Huange Residence where the Feng family lived, Mother Qian at the door saw the two people coming over, and greeted her with a smile on her face: "The old lady is saying that you may be coming, and the fourth master is really here, it is really a mother-son connection!" Seeing Shen Shu'er standing behind Jiang Qingliu with her head slightly down, Mother Qian took her hand distressedly and comforted her softly: "But a teacup fell and fell, Miss ran out like this, and the old lady was still worried that she had been wronged, so she sent someone out to find it for a while!" Miss, come in, old lady is in a hurry! ”

Shen Shu'er's face was slightly red when she heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled at Mother Qian, and followed Jiang Qingliu into the house.

"This jade is so cute, my wife is really good at raising it!" Mother Qian looked at Shen Shu'er's slender back and admired in her heart. looked at the tall and loose figure beside Shen Shu'er, and her eyes showed a touch of relief and unclear expectation.

In the inner room, Feng Shi reclined on the couch and closed her eyes to recuperate, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl beside her was gently fanning her.

Hearing the footsteps, the girl immediately got up and saluted, Feng Shi also opened her eyes, and said to Jiang Qingliu with a smile: "Just talking about you, you came." ”

Jiang Qingliu sat down in the circle chair next to the couch and replied with a smile: "What did the mother say about the child?" ”

"Say you're a busy person, you naturally can't see you when you don't go home, and you can see each other when you go home one day, and you're busier than me, the wife in charge!" Feng Shi joked with a smile, his tone was quite resentful. In a blink of an eye, she saw Shen Shu'er standing aside, beckoning to her, "Silly boy, what are you doing standing there, come here!" ”

Shen Shu'er sat beside Feng Shi as she said, gently squeezed her two hands, lowered her head and did not speak.

"I just ran to a certain place, and I didn't call anyone to follow, how unsafe. bumped into it, my aunt didn't feel distressed to death! Feng gently stroked her hair and said angrily.

Shen Shu'er's eyes were slightly red when she heard this, and she gently leaned her head into Feng's arms, and her voice was soft and glutinous: "Shu'er will never be again." ”

Feng's heart softened into water, stopped her shoulder, and said softly: "I know you have been wronged, your cousin Ru and they haven't been like this for a day or two, you can't cry every day, right?" Then you can't cry? In the future, you will treat them like wood, and ignore what they say or do. And your aunt loves you, and your fourth cousin doesn't protect you, but you can't run out to wipe your tears like today. ”

Shen Shu'er glanced at Jiang Qingliu opposite, her little face was slightly red, she nodded, and responded softly: "Well, Shu'er won't cry in the future." ”

Feng touched her head with satisfaction, and Jiang Qingliu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Mother really hurt Cousin Shu'er. But that's okay, he rarely goes back to live outside all the year round, and with Shu'er accompanying his mother, he can also feel a little at ease.

"Let's stay and eat together in the evening." Feng Shi turned his head to look at him and said, his eyes full of hope.

"Then the mother needs to have someone prepare more meals, and the child will not be polite." Jiang Qingliu said with a smile.

Feng Shi's eyes smiled happily when he heard this, and immediately beckoned to Mother Qian, who was standing at the door: "Go and tell the kitchen, add a dish of corn and pine nuts for dinner, steamed mandarin fish, and cook a bowl of skin belly noodles." ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Hearing that Jiang Qingliu agreed to stay for dinner, Qian's mother was also overjoyed and immediately went down to order.

After dinner, the table was removed, Feng asked people to make a pot of oolong tea, and then sat on the couch and looked at his little son with a smile.

"What is my mother doing when she looks at me like this?" Feng's eyes were very hot, and Jiang Qingliu felt slightly uncomfortable when he saw it, so he had to put down the teacup and said helplessly.

"What, you were born to me, what is wrong with being a mother looking at your own son?!" Feng Shi said angrily, "When your three elder brothers were so old, they were good young men praised by everyone, with excellent literary talents, and they stood out from the crowd wherever they went. She looked at Jiang Qingliu and sighed with a smile, "I didn't expect to give birth to you later, but now I look even better than your three brothers!" There was a bit of pride in my family's growth.

"Yes, Auntie, my cousin is the best of the people I've ever met!" Shen Shu'er, who was sitting next to Feng's, pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't a girl from Yangzhou chase her cousin to Jinling a while ago!" ”

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Feng's eyes, and he squeezed his eyes at Jiang Qingliu with a smile and said, "I don't know what spell your cousin cast on other girls, but a good official lady actually gave up her face and begged to come to the door." ”

"My cousin is full of economy, Zhilan Yushu, and he treats people generously and leniently, like a spring breeze, and it is normal to have the admiration of a girl and a young lady. Where do you need to cast any spells? Shen Shu'er said seriously.

Feng Shi sneered, nodded her forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You are soft-spoken on weekdays, and you don't like to talk, but in front of your cousin, your mouth is slippery." Look at your four-word sycophant, my aunt can't understand it! ”

Shen Shu'er stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly to Feng's family: "Shu'er can also praise her aunt in four words." Aunt Bodhisattva is kind-hearted, amiable, and generous..."

"Okay, okay, your little mouth can make your aunt happy!" Feng Shi smiled from ear to ear, patted Shen Shu'er's hand and said, "It's still a little lively in front of me and your cousin, when I get outside, it's like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and I don't tell my aunt if I am bullied." ”

Shen Shu'er only pursed her lips and smiled, and secretly glanced at Jiang Qingliu.

Jiang Qingliu, who was the center of the topic, remained silent, and after receiving Shen Shu'er's signal for advice, he finally spoke: "It's still early, why don't you play leaf cards with your mother?" ”

Feng Shi said happily: "Good, good! The three of us play together, if you win, yours, if you lose, mine! ”

Shen Shu'er immediately clapped her hands and said, "Shu'er must win my cousin once today!" ”

Jiang Qingliu raised his eyebrows: "We'll see." ”

This game of leaf cards was played until the hour when Feng should rest, and Jiang Qingliu said goodbye.

Shen Shu'er sent him outside the hospital and looked at him with reluctance.

"Don't hide and cry in the future." He said gently, "I'm often absent from the house, so if you come to me for something, just tell Evian." ”

"Hmm." Shen Shu'er smiled lightly, and there was a charming pear vortex at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Jiang Qingliu, pinched the hand under her sleeve gently, and asked softly, "Cousin, do you know anything when you go out this time... Someone special? ”

"Someone special?" Jiang Qingliu raised his eyebrows, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Is my cousin bored at home?" In a few days, I'll have someone bring you something interesting to relieve your boredom. ”

Although he would be wrong, Shen Shu'er was still very happy, smiling at him, and her already beautiful facial features were even more beautiful.

"Thank you, cousin." She said sweetly.

Crying and laughing, she was really a little girl who hadn't grown up, Jiang Qingliu said in her heart, bowed slightly at her, and turned around and walked in the direction of the Woxi Annex.

Under the shadow of the lamp, Shen Shuer stood in place prettyly, looking at his departing back, with endless admiration and longing in her autumn-like pupils.

Accompanied Mrs. Feng to talk, Shen Shu'er also went back to her Qiuzhi Garden to rest. Mother Qian changed her clothes for her, and seeing that the smile on her face had not faded, her eyebrows and eyes stretched a little, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Mrs. hasn't been so happy for a long time, if the fourth master comes to accompany his wife every day, I'm afraid that my wife can be a few years younger!" ”

"No, I'm not so blessed." Old Mrs. Feng smiled and waved her hand, "The fourth child of our family has a straight face on weekdays, and no one is close." It's rare to meet him today, and he is in a good mood so he is willing to coax me, an old woman. If he is allowed to come every day, it will be true that he suffers and I suffer. It's rare like today, and my wife is satisfied! ”

Mother Qian also laughed, and suddenly thought of something and lowered her voice: "The fourth master came here with Miss Shu'er today." ”

"What do you want to say?" Old Lady Feng glanced at her with a smile and said.

Mother Qian was gossipy, and her tone was a little excited: "You said, Miss Shu'er ran out by herself at the end of the day, could it be that she went to the Woxi Annex?" ”

Old Madam Feng raised her eyebrows, shook her head again, and said, "According to Shu'er's temperament, I'm afraid that there are many people who are hiding and crying secretly, I think most of the two of them met on the road." ”

Although this is more likely, Mother Qian said a little unwillingly: "Anyway, the slave maid thinks that the fourth master of our family is worthy of a flower-like person like Miss Shu'er." ”

"Hmph, I don't know what you're thinking." Old Madam Feng pointed at her with a smile, and was a little stunned, "I don't want to keep Shu'er by my side." Over the years, she has been raised from a small little to now, where is she willing to give it to others. It's just that Shu'er is okay, but the fourth child has a big idea, as long as he doesn't mention this matter himself, none of us can be the master. I didn't see the Miss Chen from Yangzhou before, who was blocked by his words and almost died. Forget it, let him go, I can't him! ”
