348 July
"Mother is coming?" Shen Rouning looked at Chen Houyun with some blankness.
Chen Houyun nodded slightly, but did not speak, but his eyes flashed thoughtfully.
And Shen Rouning was surprised, and subconsciously asked Chen Houyun...... This point was secretly seen by Mrs. Chen. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "Your mother's letter, doesn't it say that she is coming?" Perhaps, it's time to set off! It won't be long before you can see them. ”
"It's wonderful." Shen Rou came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Xiao Ah Yan for a long time, and I miss her very much." ”
"Uh-huh." Mrs. Chen also said: "It seems that the meeting gift we have been preparing for a long time can finally come in handy. Brother and sister, don't you say? ”
Second Mrs. Chen has never been very close to Mrs. Shen Si. And Mrs. Shen, as a sister-in-law, always presses her as a sister-in-law, which also makes Mrs. Chen feel unhappy all the time. Therefore, she was not very happy because of the news at this time, but she couldn't show it, so she smiled and nodded a little reluctantly.
"Junyi led Xiao Ah to live in the embroidery building, and Brother Rong still lives in Qingfeng Courtyard?" Mrs. Chen opened her mouth and told her about her placement of Mrs. Shen Si and her party, and said: "Well, unconsciously, Brother Rong is also eleven, and there should be no problem living alone in the outer courtyard, right?" Several cousins are there, and he must be happy to ......"
After Grandma Chen passed away, Chen Houyun moved back to the outer courtyard. The courtyard where he lived when he was married is now semi-mothballed.
Shen Rouning listened quietly to Mrs. Chen's arrangement. Occasionally interject and give some suggestions on a specific furnishing arrangement, which is intimate but not obvious, so that the atmosphere of conversation in the room has been very good.
Mrs. Chen found an excuse to leave first.
"Mother, why are you upset?" Chen Houqi asked.
"Alas, your aunt has a tough temperament, and she hasn't liked me very much...... Second Mrs. Chen couldn't be happy when she thought about Mrs. Shen Si's critical eyes in the past, and said solemnly: "Grandma goes back to her parents' house, she is the oldest, and I can't say anything happily when the time comes." It's a fake to be happy. ”
"That's how I am. You can't get the fake entertainment. ”
Chen Houqi couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
He's so motherly, it's really ...... A woman who is nearly forty years old can still say such a thing with confidence. It is estimated that he was lucky to marry into a simple family like the Chen family. In order to be so "sincere" all the time!
"Mother. Do you go out to a feast? Won't smirk and socialize? Chen Houqi thought for a while, and said, "Before, you led us to our grandfather's place, with our aunts and uncles. Aren't you smiling enthusiastically? ”
That enthusiasm is certainly not real enthusiasm.
"Can that be the same?" Second Mrs. Chen was a little annoyed.
The He family has a large population, and Mrs. Chen's second wife is well married, she goes back to her parents' house, and in front of her mother's family, she is like the stars holding the moon, only others flatter her, and there is no one for her to please others. In this way, although it is just as hypocritical and polite as a social, her reserved smile is real. Because she's really happy.
Chen Houqi was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Chen: "Mother, you should think so." My father attaches great importance to his aunt, and now that my aunt is going back to Beijing, my father will definitely want to come back sooner when he hears the news, right? ”
Second Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, and she really smiled: "Hearing you say that, I think it's much better." Alas, your father is really, why doesn't he want to move a little and change the yamen and change the position? always went out of Beijing to suffer hardships and suffers, and I didn't see him evaluate more merits. ”
"Isn't that because Dad likes it?" Chen Houqi comforted Mrs. Chen and said: "If my father is really trapped in a certain yamen in the capital, just like the Dapeng bird in a cage, people have no energy, don't you feel distressed?" ”
Born as a roc bird, it has a nest, but it must also soar outside from time to time.
Second Mrs. Chen understood the meaning of Chen Houqi's words at this time, and thought for a while, and her face showed a lot of shyness like a girl, and Chen Houqi could only stagger her gaze and was speechless again. After a while, I heard Mrs. Chen say softly: "I'm just worried about him, and I don't want to lock him up at home." He's not happy, I'm going to be even sadder. ”
Chen Houqi shuddered.
He thought there must be too much ice in the room. Otherwise, in this big July, why did he feel a chill on his body?
"That, mother, I'll go back first." Chen Houqi couldn't stay a little cold, and quickly retreated. As he walked, he was still thinking, should he also go to study in a college? Chen Houwen left, leaving him alone to greet Mrs. Chen Er sooner or later, he was really a little ...... I want to go out and avoid it.
Mrs. Shen Si didn't arrive, so Shen Rouning saw Qin Xu first.
This time, Qin Xu did not secretly go to the inner courtyard to go directly to Banyue Xuan to call Shen Rouning out, but honestly in the middle of the mountain, and asked Chen Houwen to invite Shen Rouning here.
On a hot day, he was dressed in a dark robe, and there was no other color. The whole person sat there, as if he had absorbed all the white light around him, and his face became more and more white and soft, almost demonic.
Seeing Shen Rouning, his gaze was distracted for a moment, and then there was a strong emotional outburst, which quickly dissipated, and became cold again, allowing Shen Rouning to salute, but did not get up to return the salute.
He is a high-status marquis, so naturally he doesn't have to return the salute to Shen Rouning.
"I have something to say to Miss Shen alone." Qin Xu's eyes were good, he looked at Shen Rouning, and said.
Chen Houji's face was a little annoyed, he pursed his lips, and didn't pay attention to Qin Xu, but just said to Shen Rouning: "I'm just watching over there." You can rest assured. ”
This sentence annoyed Qin Xu.
He snorted coldly and said, "Second Brother Chen, are you afraid that I, Qin Xuqiang, will rob someone!" ”
"Hell knows what you're thinking now!" Chen Houji couldn't bear it, and immediately choked and said: "If it weren't for the eldest brother telling me not to stop me, I wouldn't let you see Ah Ning!" ”
Qin Xu snorted coldly again and didn't speak again.
Chen Houji threw his sleeves away.
There was silence in the pavilion. It seems that even knowing is tired and forgetting to chirp.
Qin Xu kept squinting at Shen Rou.
Shen Rou stood quietly for a while, and then sat down opposite Qin Xu.
Before she sat down, she heard Qin Xu gritting her teeth and roaring in a low voice: "Shen Rouning! Do you have a brain! Are you really stupid, or have you been drugged and your mind is not clear! (To be continued.) )
