Chapter 38: Shameless (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!) )
In the east second room of Matsuzuru-in.
In addition to the Ma family, the Liu, Yang and Wu families were all present.
It is rare that the mother and daughter of the white lotus are not seen.
What's even rarer is that when they saw Qi Miao and Shen come in, Ma and the others not only did not scold people with black faces, but they all smiled.
Liu Shi smiled gently and took the initiative to greet him, "The third brother and sister, Miao'er are here." ”
Yang even got up, pointed to the chair next to him, and said with a smile, "Third brother and sister, you and Miao'er are sitting here." ”
"Third sister-in-law." Wu smiled shyly, not showing too much exaggeration.
Shen and Qi Miao smiled lightly and saluted Ma.
"Sit down and talk." Ma's tone was also very gentle.
Qi Miao sat down with her mother.
Shen looked at Ma and asked, "I wonder what happened to my mother looking for me?" ”
Ma glanced at the Liu family, the corners of his mouth pulled upward, and a smile appeared on his face.
She smiled and said, "The third daughter-in-law, when you go to Lingshan Temple to enjoy the maple leaves in five days, you should inform us in advance, and we can make some preparations."
I called you over because I wanted you to tell everyone about the arrangement, so that everyone could go wrong when they got it, and it would be better to say it earlier in the coming year. ”
"yes, we need to pack our bags." Several people from the Liu family hurriedly followed behind.
All of them have friendly smiles on their faces.
The attitude is surprisingly consistent.
Qi Miao didn't speak, and watched coldly, wanting to see how thick-skinned Ma and the others were.
Facing everyone's fiery eyes and friendly attitude, Shen smiled slightly and responded, "Five days later, we did go to Lingshan Temple, along with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Ge and other ladies and family members. ”
Liu's and Yang's eyes were shining.
Everyone was overjoyed.
The children of these ladies' families are all dragons and phoenixes among people, all of them are excellent, if you can climb up to marry them, it will be ......
Just imagining a few people is a little fluttering, and I hope to go to Lingshan now.
A few people were still in a reverie, and Shen said with a smile, "But Mother, you misunderstood, Mrs. Li and they only made an appointment with me, let me and San Lang take the children there, this matter has already been agreed." ”
She said it very tactfully.
Ma and the others still heard the sound outside the strings.
Five days later, the trip to Lin San Temple had nothing to do with them.
There was disappointment and displeasure on the faces of several people.
Yang couldn't wait to ask, "Third brother and sister, what should we do then?" ”
Shen looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Second sister-in-law, you should ask your mother about this kind of thing, why did you ask me?" ”
Ma pursed his lips and said with a straight face, "Third daughter-in-law, you arranged this matter in previous years, and this year is no exception." ”
She was very worried that Shen would quit.
"That's right, third brother and sister, you have experience in this matter, and I still have to bother you this year." Liu also said.
"Please don't be strange to my mother, I used to be a daughter-in-law who was ignorant and did things without thinking, no matter whether I should do it or not, I did it." Shen apologized very sincerely.
Ma and the others were a little confused.
I wonder what she meant by apologizing?
Is it inappropriate to make an appointment with Mrs. Li to go to Lingshan Temple this time, or is it inappropriate to do it before?
Not allowing them to speculate for a long time, Shen quickly said, "Mother, you are the head of the family, and everything should be arranged by you.
And in addition to your mother, there are also sisters-in-law and sister-in-law, and it is not my turn to mix, I used to trespass, and I will compensate my mother and sister-in-law and sister-in-law again. ”
Shen really got up and saluted the three of Ma, Liu, and Yang.
The words have been said very clearly, and she will not interfere in the matter of other people in the Hou Mansion of An Ning going to Lingshan Temple.
The Liu family and the Yang family were stunned, and a glass heart was shattered into slag.
If the Shen family doesn't care, who will pay for the silver?
They looked at Mars.
"The third daughter-in-law, we are a family, as long as it is for the good of our Anning Hou Mansion, there is nothing to trespass.
The trip to Lin San Temple should be arranged as in previous years. Ma's face showed displeasure, but he begged Shen and tried his best to endure it without a seizure.
But the tone is no longer a consultation, but an order.
The Liu family breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
Qi Miao looked at her mother, a little worried that her mother would not be able to withstand Ma's pressure.
It's not that her mother is afraid of Ma, it's just that she softens her heart when she thinks of her father.
As soon as the heart softened, it was easy to say anything.
Shen received his daughter's gaze and bowed his head slightly.
She looked at Ma Shi and smiled slightly, and nodded, "Since my mother has told me, then I will do it." ”
Qi Miao frowned.
The Ma family and the Liu family breathed a thorough sigh and smiled.
It's finally arranged.
Shen asked Ma, "Mother, who will go to Lingshan Temple this time, I have to arrange a place to live in advance." ”
Lingshan Temple is nearly 100 miles away from the capital, and the place is big, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and it is very hurried to go back and forth in a day.
Since it's a visit, of course, you have to have a good time.
So most people stay there for a day or two.
Liu and the others immediately began to count the number of people.
Qi Miao took the opportunity to quietly pull off her mother's clothes.
The corners of Shen's lips curled slightly, and he winked at her, signaling her not to worry.
Seeing this, Qi Miaocai breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, Ma said a number.
Counting the people, more than a hundred.
Rao is Qi Miao was mentally prepared, and he was also taken aback.
Is this to enjoy the maple leaves, or to fight a war to occupy the mountain?
She quickly became suspicious, even if the entire Anning Marquis Mansion went to it, there would only be more than a hundred people.
But the truth is that it is impossible for everyone to go.
Qi Miao asked Ma, "Grandmother, are all of our family going?" Why are there so many people? Don't you need to leave someone to guard the house? Aunties are all going? ”
"If the aunts don't go, of course they have to stay in the house." Ma replied in the affirmative.
"That's not the right number." Qi Miao continued to ask.
"And a few close relatives." Ma responded.
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.
It's just that you take advantage of my mother, and you have the face to take advantage of your relatives together.
Do you know how to write the word 'ugly'?
Do you know what the face of a shameless man is?
Qi Miao couldn't help but complain in her heart.
The words and deeds of Ma and others once again refreshed her perception of them.
"Miao'er, there are so many people, let's go, let's go, everyone who can go will go together." Shen said to Qi Miao very calmly.
and looked at the Liu family and asked, but there were still people who were going, and asked in detail who the so-called closest relatives were.
As soon as she asked, Ma and Yang added ten more people each.
"More than 100 people, the place to live is big, and the place to live is not too bad, otherwise it will lose the face of the Hou Mansion.
In addition to living, there is also eating, and there are ......" After the number of people was determined, Shen began to calculate the accounts carefully.
They don't care about that.
All they care about is when they are going, so that they can inform their relatives to prepare.
After Shen Shi calculated, he stretched out his white hand to Ma Shi and said softly, "Mother, you can give me a thousand taels of silver first, if it is not enough, I will come to you and ask for it." ”
"What? One thousand taels? ”
Ma's, Liu's and others' faces changed a few more times.
Ma's face, in particular, turned purple.
She wouldn't have thought that Shen would reach out to her to ask for silver.
In previous years, it was arranged by the Shen family to go to Lingshan Temple to enjoy the maple leaves, and naturally the silver was also from the Shen family, and she didn't have a penny of silver.
If you want her to spend a thousand taels of silver to go to Lingshan Temple, it is better to kill her directly.
Qi Miao smiled as she curled her lips.
, that's good!
How did this group of shameless people end?
Shen didn't seem to see Ma's extreme face, she sighed and calculated the accounts carefully, "Mother, you also know that when you go to Lingshan Temple at this time, food and accommodation are several times more expensive than usual."
There are more than 100 of us, and a few taels of silver will be divided into a few taels of silver, which will definitely not be enough at that time.
There are many people and things to do, who knows if there will be anything else, mother, you can have more silver. ”
Ma's face was gloomy, like a dark cloud in the sky.
was reluctant to give the silver himself, and he didn't have the cheekiness to let Shen give the silver directly.
Sitting there, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing this, Liu said, "Third brother and sister, how can you ask your mother for silver, didn't you arrange it in previous years?" ”
Yang thought the same, but she didn't dare to speak.
Shen's words of warning were still echoing in her head.
Wu hung his head and didn't speak, anyway, it wasn't her turn to come out in this matter.
"I don't ask my mother for silver, can my sister-in-law give me silver?" Shen asked with a smile.
Liu's face suddenly froze.
