Chapter 45: The Beginning of the Grounding Unravels the True Face
In the early morning of August 17, Shu Wangjin was indeed "cured", and Mrs. Shu was the first to visit him, while Lin Mei was still intoxicated with sleep at this time.
The Xiuwen Temple was deserted, Mrs. Shu sat opposite Shu Wangjin, took a cup of flower tea with a graceful posture and slowly sipped it, for a long time, after a cup of tea was at the bottom, she put down the white teacup and smiled lightly.
"You're very bold, and your wings are stiff?"
Shu Wangjin smiled and helped Mrs. Shu add another cup of tea, and said, "This flower tea is ground with the recipe in the Qianjin formula, which is the most suitable for beauty and beauty, if my mother likes it, next time I will ask Shu Zhou to send this prescription to the back kitchen." ”
Mrs. Shu didn't soothe her expression when she heard this, but snorted coldly, "You didn't look down on so many young ladies when you were discussing marriage before, but now your eyes are like this?" ”
"Didn't my mother marry my father back then......" Shu Wangjin was not angry when she heard this, and blocked Mrs. Shu back with a word, and added a sentence at the end, "My son thinks Miss Lin Mei is very good, and she has given her son many surprises and accidents." ”
Mrs. Shu was choked by Shu Wangjin, and immediately glared at him fiercely, thinking that she really couldn't help her mother, and the older she gets, the less she will take her father and mother in her eyes.
"How are you going to do the Ning family's affairs?"
Shu Wangjin himself poured a cup of flower tea, drank it to moisten his throat, and then said, "Ning Tuoshu, the prefect of Tongzhou, can't do it for long, the Ningguo Mansion has long been suspicious of him, if it weren't for Concubine Ning, I'm afraid that Ning Tuoshu would have let the Ningguo Mansion be driven out." ”
"So?" Mrs. Shu glanced at the dankou on her freshly dyed nails yesterday, and her tone was clear.
"So, my son plans to go to Miss Lin's house to propose marriage." Shu Wangjin put down the cup of flower tea in his hand with a smile, his face full of sincerity.
The corners of Mrs. Shu's mouth twitched fiercely, and she closed her eyes and said forbearantly, "Your father won't agree." ”
"I don't need my father's consent." Shu Wangjin gently buckled the body of the white porcelain teacup, and his tone was gentle.
"If your father doesn't agree, what should you do about the dowry?" Mrs. Shu gritted her teeth and said, squinting her eyes and staring straight at Shu Wangjin, but she was very proud in her heart, if Master Shu didn't let go, how could Shu Wangjin get the dowry?
Shu Wangjin seemed to know what Mrs. Shu was thinking, smiled slightly, and poured another cup of tea for Mrs. Shu, "Does Daddy think that after so many years, my son doesn't even have any private property?" ”
"What did you say?!" Mrs. Shu raised her sleeves to cover her lips and shouted, forgetting to maintain her usual reserve for a while.
"The capital, Wangyue Tower, Tao Ranju, Taiye Lake, by the way, and the Fang Garden you went to yesterday, these are all your son's private property." Shu Wangjin brought the tea to Mrs. Shu with a smile, "There are also places in Los Angeles, Jinzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, where my son has an estate, does my mother want to know about her son's other properties?" ”
Mrs. Shu's body trembled slightly, trying her best to calm down, but the corners of her pursed lips revealed her panic, when did the teenager she could control with one hand become the Shu Dangjia who can dominate the market and play a pivotal role in the shopping mall?
By the time Lin Mei learned that Shu Wangjin had "recovered", it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and if it wasn't for Shu Zhou to invite her to the Xiuwen Academy for dinner, she wouldn't know that Shu Wangjin had been lifted.
"When did this happen?"
Qingying was helping Lin Mei to make up, combing a delicate bun, hairpins with some emerald flowers, bright eyes and bright teeth, which looked like a pleasing scenery.
"The young master has been released a long time ago, when Miss Lin and Zhou Gongmeng are still meeting." Shu Zhou looked at the sleepy-eyed Lin Mei helplessly, and really couldn't understand why his young master had seen so many beauties, why did he hang himself on such a crooked-necked tree?
Qing Yan had already gone to offer his courtesy, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Mrs. Shu, who had just left the academy and was obviously in a bad mood, and now he was punished unclearly, and he was directly reduced from a first-class maid to a third-class maid, and he was crying in his room at this time.
If you want Shu Zhou to say, the best and simplest person in Shu Mansion is the eldest lady Shu Yujin, like Mrs. Shu and Master Shu Wangjin, they seem to be good at talking and smiling on the surface, but the inside is still quite deep in the city, and Mrs. Shu is a wolf in sheep's clothing, looking kind and kind, but in fact, no one looks at it.
Lin Mei was a little embarrassed when she heard Shu Zhou say this, and she looked rare embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't I go to look for crickets last night......
She went to Xiaozhuyuan with a lantern last night, and the crickets in it were either 'old, weak, sick and disabled' or weak, she searched for most of the night and didn't find the crickets that were as strong as before, so she had to go back to the curtain house, so it was late to get up today.
Shu Zhou didn't hear what Lin Mei said, and when she saw that the sun was getting late, she urged her to go to the Xiuwen Academy for dinner.
On the other hand, in the early morning, Qing Yan could be said to be the first person to know that Shu Wangjin was "cured", and after so many years in Shufu, she naturally knew that she was grounded and not sick.
So, Qing Yan personally went to the back kitchen to stew bird's nest soup herself, in view of the fact that all the crickets raised by Shu Zhou were pecked by those Luhua chickens yesterday, so the smile on her face never fell, so she entered the gate of the Xiuwen Academy with a bright smile.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Xiuwen Academy with the bird's nest soup, he saw Mrs. Shu with a gloomy face.
"Madam......" Qing Yan hurriedly put away the smile on his face and bowed.
"What's in your hand?" Mrs. Shu stood in front of Qing Yan and looked down at her condescendingly, her face full of pride and disdain.
Mrs. Shu is such a person, how could she not know Qing Yan's Xiao Xiang for her son, she just turned a blind eye and didn't bother to say it on weekdays, but now she is on fire, so she naturally sprinkles the fire on the innocent Qing Yan, in her eyes, Qing Yan's identity is not as good as a commoner's daughter like Lin Mei!
Qingyan has always been ignorant and will not hide her emotions, so with a sweet smile on her face, she said softly, "Madam, this is the bird's nest soup stewed by the slave maid for the young master......"
Mrs. Shu snorted coldly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of disdain, Lin Mei forgot it, it was still her precious son's heart, but this Qingyan was different, just a maid in Shu's house.
"Qing Yan, you are so presumptuous!" Mrs. Shu raised her eyebrows, as if she had returned to the arrogant days in the capital twenty years ago, and said coldly, "Born poor, I still want Xiao to want to hope for Jin!" ”
Mrs. Shu obviously remembered her sister-in-law, who was not as good as her in appearance and talent, but she was just like Qingyan and sold honey on her mouth, so she was loved by everyone, but so what, what if she only married a merchant? She was the most nourishing of the ladies that year! Husband's favor, and he is the number one merchant in the dynasty, and his food and clothing are comparable to the royal profligacy!
