Chapter Seventy-One: Two by Two
Wang Chan's appearance is born with a three-point foxy atmosphere, so she is very confident in her appearance, there seems to be autumn waves in her eyes, and she pretends to look at Shen Pingcheng cautiously.
"I'm going to go on my way tomorrow, so you should rest early." Shen Pingcheng hurriedly glanced at her, then looked away and made a gesture to leave.
"Cousin!" Wang Chan blurted out almost subconsciously, she was full of joy and took out a pair of wooden simple hairpins from the begonia gold silk sachet on her waist, stretched out her hand and handed it to Shen Pingcheng, she said: "Cousin, do you still remember this hairpin." ”
Shen Pingcheng's brows couldn't help frowning, and he slowly stretched out again: "I don't remember." ”
With that, he turned and went back to his room.
Wang Chan's hand hanging in mid-air did not fall for a long time, she bit her lower lip tightly, stared at the wooden hairpin, moved slowly, and put the wooden hairpin away with extra care.
Don't remember, she'll have a way for him to remember!
She knocked on the old lady's door.
*****
Yong'an City Shen Mansion, Zhao has been waiting anxiously, the old lady is not in the mansion these days, although she has been exempted from the daily morning and dusk province, but her heart is not steady.
Shen Huo didn't seem to be sticking to her every day, as long as she was free, she panicked in her heart, especially in the dead of night.
Zhao didn't sleep well for a few days, and there were layers of darkness floating under her eyes, Mama Fang felt a headache in her heart, she stepped forward to open the lampshade to pick out the wick, and said with comfort: "Isn't this trip to Jianghang, maybe this time, the master will come back with the old lady and them." ”
Zhao nodded in response: "Mama, what annoys me is that the eldest young master of the Qi family is about to get married, but he also gave our Shen family a wedding sticker, this is not a slap in the face of our second room, it was the Qi family who came to propose marriage, although I am relieved to withdraw from the marriage, but I can't swallow this breath in the end!" ”
The flickering candle flame illuminates the room.
The cigarette smoke in front of the incense burner scattered like a faint one, and the fragrance grew stronger.
Mama Fang sighed lowly: "People outside don't know about this at all, there is a good saying, business is not benevolent, the two families will still have to deal with each other in the future, and Mrs. is not uncommon in this marriage, so don't keep it in mind." She paused, and then said, "By the way, madam, a letter came from our house earlier, saying that the ancestor was already on the way, and there were Brother Jing and Sister Yao..."
Originally, the Zhao family was already asleep, and after listening to Mama Fang's words, as if someone had poured a pot of cold water from the top of her head, she suddenly woke up, and frowned: "Didn't you send a letter back last time to say that there was nothing wrong here, why did you come here again, and brought Brother Jing and Sister Yao, this is not a blind toss!" ”
Mama Fang also had an expression of not knowing anything, and muttered: "Yes, the old slave sent someone to deliver the letter, and it is strange, counting the days, the old ancestor should also arrive." Madam, it's just that the ancestor has also come over, and it just so happens that Mama Chang can also be brought out. ”
Although the Zhao family is in charge of the house's affairs, the old lady did not hand over the grange to her to take care of it, and the affairs of the grange are still handled by the eldest lady.
Zhao Shi thought left and right, shook his head secretly, and only said, "Let's see." "Just let Mama Fang rest.
The next day, the Zhao family got up early to reconcile the accounts in the house, and went to the grandmothers in the front yard to report the affairs of the house.
When the time came, Cheng's money arrived at Jinlin Courtyard, and the lotus leaf that followed behind held a stack of old mansion newspapers in his hand.
Chunlin just came out of the bright room, and she saw Cheng's in the eyes, she saluted, shouted into the house, and personally lifted the curtain for Cheng's.
Zhao had just calculated the cashier in the house, Cheng smiled, and met Zhao's puzzled gaze, she asked Lotus Ye to put down those Di newspapers, and said: "Last time, didn't the second sister-in-law ask me to inquire about the people in Jiangbei who are equivalent to our Shen family's portal, think about it, and look at this Di Bao is the clearest, and I just kept it, so I took it." These old things are the local newspapers of our Jiangbei, some famous families, which are also recorded. ”
These days, Cheng and Zhao have been familiar with each other, so there is no need for Zhao to speak, Cheng is already very familiar and sat down beside her, took out a newspaper from it, pointed to a big black letter, and said with a smile: "This is the first time our Shen Mansion reported to the palace, second sister-in-law, you see, this is the news of the second brother Zhongjin Shi and the first ten years ago." ”
White Horse City's mansion newspaper is different from Jiangbei, mentioning Shen Pingcheng, the corners of Zhao's mouth are full of smiles, she went to see it, although there are only a few sentences on it, but she also looks very warm, this person is her husband, she is proud of her husband.
Cheng also laughed, and pointed down: "These people are all from the same Jinshi background as the second brother, and now they also occupy a place in Jiangbei, the Su family in Pingcheng, the Bai family in Yuncheng, the Yang family and the Zhou family in Yongan City, last time at the second brother's meeting, the second sister-in-law should have seen Mrs. Zhou." ”
Cheng said slowly.
"The Zhou family? I have seen it, and a few days ago, there were rumors outside that Master Zhou's ......" Zhao said, and glanced at Cheng, knowing that Cheng understood.
Cheng sneered, and he didn't know who spread the rumors! She said embarrassedly: "Nine out of ten rumors outside are false, where can it be true." ”
Zhao moved the corners of his lips slightly, but didn't answer her words.
Cheng was also afraid of revealing clues, so he quickly took out a few other newspapers and changed the topic.
However, after a cup of tea, there was movement outside, and Chunlin lifted the curtain and hurriedly entered the house: "Second lady, third lady, the old lady is back, the carriage has just arrived, and there are also two old men and second son Xie who came back." ”
Cheng shrunk his fingers when he heard the sound, glanced at Zhao, and got up one after another.
It's really a hurry to go and a hurry to return.
The Zhao family and the Cheng family set off directly from Jinlin Courtyard and went to the Hanging Flower Gate.
When he walked over there, the corners of Zhao's mouth curved into an arc.
"The second sister-in-law and the second brother are really in love." Cheng walked aside and said, these words came out of her mouth, and I don't know if it was a joke or a mockery.
Zhao didn't know the meaning of Cheng's words, but he smiled more and more shyly.
When the two arrived at the double-arched hanging flower gate, on another bluestone path, the Yang family and the Li family also rushed over one after another.
"Now someone has found Nin, and they follow up all day long, and they think that others really think you are a baby? It's just a dog with no interest. Li glanced at Cheng meaningfully, and his laughter was still there.
With such vulgar words in his ears, Cheng's face was red and white.
Cheng is not an official lady, her father is from a business background, compared to vulgarity, then Li is definitely not as good as her, but Cheng just wants to learn to be a lady of everyone, otherwise she would have opened up with Li, she has been acting for so many years, how can she be broken by Li's words.
She looked at the Li family with a smile: "The fourth brother and sister can say this ugly, if others hear it, they still think that it is a rural village woman from somewhere, by the way, there is also Xie Ergongzi who came back, the fourth brother and sister don't make a joke in front of the nobles and embarrass the Shen family." ”
Cheng's mouthful and four siblings crushed the Li family to death.
Zhao listened to a movement outside the Hanging Flower Gate, and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round.
Cheng's smile kept on his lips, as if he was nothing.
At this time, the sound of footsteps outside was getting closer, and Li didn't dare to say anything more.
After a while, Mama Gui and Wang Chan accompanied the old lady left and right, and appeared in front of everyone.
Shen Rong and Shen Lan followed one after another.
Shen Pingcheng and Xie Yu did not follow, but went directly to the meeting hall in the front yard.
Zhao also looked left and right, but he didn't see Shen Pingcheng's face, which was a little strange.
The loss that can't be hidden, Shen Rong can see it clearly.
That's just it, the Zhao family is like this, and Shen Rong doesn't feel good in his heart.
Zhao didn't notice Wang Chan at all, because she never knew Wang Chan as a person.
But the other three ladies were like mirrors in their hearts.
Li has always been close to the old lady, and Wang Chan is a cousin, she gently pulled Wang Chan to her side, and said, "Sister Chan, second aunt, alas...... It's all destiny, don't be too sad, just come back, just come back. ”
"Just you talk a lot." The old lady glanced at Li.
mentioned the sad thing, Wang Chan couldn't help it and became sad, she hid her tears, and said softly: "I know, I understand, don't mention this, it will make you lose interest." ”
Li hurriedly responded: "Don't mention it, don't mention it." ”
Zhao took a closer look at the two daughters, and then fell on Wang Chan's body, and she also understood what she said.
Wang Chan will also move the well-intentioned innocent, and with a little tearful gaze to her lady who has never seen before, the two looked at each other, Zhao paused for a moment, smiled lightly with Wang Chan, and secretly thought, this Wang Chan is a wonderful person.
Wang Chan felt that the cousin-in-law in front of her, although her appearance was not bad, but she had no characteristics at a glance, just looking at her face, she knew that she was a dull character.
I felt more and more that she was not worthy of such an outstanding Shen Pingcheng.
Back to Fuhua Courtyard, all the ladies, the girl was standing in the room, Mama Gui helped the old lady to sit on the Luohan bed, the old lady looked at Wang Chan, and said: "Sister Chan will stay in the Shen Mansion in the future, you all must not bully her." Mama Gui, you go and send someone to clean up Shangshanyuan, before that, these days, Sister Chan, you will temporarily live in the East Warm Pavilion of Fuhua Courtyard, Danzhu and Danniang are still waiting by your side, and two more big girls are waiting here. ”
Mama Gui hurriedly responded.
As soon as everyone heard this, let Wang Chan temporarily live in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and immediately divided a high and low.
So the old lady sent them back to the hospital.
Out of Fuhua Courtyard, Li stared at Zhao with a playful expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Fourth brother and sister, what have you been doing to look at me? Isn't there something on my face? Zhao stretched out his hand and touched his face.
Li Shiyou laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can tell jokes, I'll go back first." ”
It made the Zhao family strange for a while.
Shen Rong, who was standing on the side, suddenly remembered this time in his previous life.
People all know what is about to happen, but only the mother is in the dark and doesn't know anything, and their secret ridicule is also unknown to the mother.
Until one day, the mother learned about Wang Chan from the old lady, and the originally strong line of defense collapsed.
If the mother had known earlier, maybe when the old lady told her again, she would not have been so helpless at all and didn't know how to deal with it.
When they returned to Jinlin Courtyard, it was almost noon, Shen Rong and Shen Lan returned from outside, and Zhao asked the two of them to eat at her place.
He also instructed Chunlin to wait for Shen Huo to come back and let him have this meal too.
Zhao thought that Xie Yu was here, and Shen Pingcheng probably wouldn't come back to eat.
Before Shen Huo came back, Shen Rong sat quietly on the side, thinking about how to open this mouth.
Shen Rong, who was always the most able to say, was silent, and Zhao felt even more strange, she asked out loud: "Ah Rong, what's wrong with you, when you go out, it's a lot quieter." ”
Shen Lan also looked at him suspiciously, and said, "In the carriage, Ah Rong also didn't speak like this. ”
Shen Rong was stunned, in the carriage, the old lady was sitting on the side, where could she speak.
She raised her eyes helplessly, felt the burning gaze of Zhao and Shen Lan, and said with a smile: "Isn't this learning from my sister and being a real lady." ”
Shen Lan couldn't help laughing.
Shen Rong thought about it again and again, and after careful consideration, Fang looked at Zhao: "Mother, I have something to do, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"What's still hidden from my mother, let's talk about it." Zhao smiled politely.
Shen Lan also cheered up and sat aside to hear about Shen Rong.
"Actually, it's nothing." Shen Rong shook his head and sighed: "I still haven't heard what Sister Lin said before I went to Jianghang, I don't know if it's true or not." Aunt Chan is not married now, but in the past, Aunt Chan seems to have had a relationship with her father. ”
Zhao's face stiffened when he heard this.
Shen Rong hurriedly spoke: "Mother, don't think about it, after so many years, there should be nothing wrong, I just mentioned it casually, don't ask Daddy first, after all, there is nothing to do, otherwise Daddy should blame me for talking too much." ”
Shen Lan suddenly opened her mouth and said: "No wonder you can't give up all the way, it turns out that it's for this matter, I don't think it's anything." My father has been married to my mother for so many years, and most of them are grandmothers who want to find a family affair for Aunt Chan in Jiangbei. ”
Shen Rong's original intention was to give the Zhao family a wake-up call, so she followed Shen Lan to echo her.
In this way, Zhao will not be led by Wang Chan in the future.
Zhao regained his smile at this time: "I know that you are thinking about your mother, it's okay, Sister Chan should find someone to marry, and my mother should also look for Sister Chan to see if there are any good people in Jiangbei, anyway, I want to show Lan'er." ”
"Mother, you mention me again." Shen Lan hung her head in shame.
caused both Zhao and Shen Rong to laugh.
By the time Shen Huo came in, they were already laughing.
Shen Huomu stood in the middle of the room, stunned for a long time: "Second sister, Ah Rong?" You're back. ”
Shen Rong raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "Listening to my brother's tone, do you want us to come back?" ”
Shen Huo hurriedly stretched out his hands and shook them, and said seriously: "Ah Rong, you are not allowed to lie to people, where did I say this." ”R1152
