Chapter 38: The Banquet (2)
Situ Yingsleeve's words aroused Old Madam Shen's memories of the past.
She was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "In short, your mother owes your father, and she has come to repay the debt in this life." Saying that, he sighed and changed the subject, "Yingsleeve, how is your stepmother?" I think she knows what to do......"
Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly said: "Mother treats me and Xiao Lei very well, just like her own daughter Dark Fragrance, she didn't deliberately spoil us or torture us because I and Xiao Lei were not her biological children." After a pause, he added, "As a stepmother, I think she is already impeccable." Of course, you can't deliberately seek perfection, you have to be like my father, many times better for us than for Dark Fragrance, that's impossible. β
Shen Yule couldn't help but purse his lips and muttered, "Uncle, what kind of medicine did you take?" How can you do this to your eldest cousin and cousin? I'm angry when I see it! β
Situ Ying's sleeves pulled Shen Yule's placket, "It's okay, as long as my grandfather's family loves me and Xiaolei, my father won't dare to treat us badly." β
She said "don't dare", not "won't", which shows that she has seen through the details of Situ Jianren.
When Old Madam Shen heard this, she quickly glanced at Situ Yingsleeve, nodded slightly, and said, "Sleevesleeve is a person who understands, so I'm relieved." You're right, as long as our Shen family is in one day, your father won't dare to be out of line. That's it, as long as he can get by on the big side, we don't ask for anything else. Sleeve, you're twelve, and you should be sensible. In the future, you and Xiao Lei's affairs, you have to make your own snacks, what should be fought for, what should be rejected, you should take the initiative to stand up, tell your father, don't compromise and seek perfection. Your father's kind of person, if you want to compromise and seek perfection, he will only bully you and pretend not to see it. When the time comes, it will not only be you who will suffer, but also your brother. β
Situ Yingsleeves nodded again and again, "Grandma, I can save it." If you shouldn't say something, no matter what my father does to me, it doesn't matter, I'm going to get married in the future. But what will happen to my brother after I'm gone? Anyway, I will settle this family so that I can get married with peace of mind. β
If she can't rest assured, she'd rather never marry in this life.
"That's right. Your father is even more excessive to Xiao Lei. You'll have to keep an eye on this home. Old Madam Shen whispered a lot of heartfelt words to Situ Yingsleeve.
Situ Yingsleeve listened attentively and nodded again and again.
Shen Yule listened to it for a while, as if he understood or not, he was very depressed, and when he turned his eyes, he found that Situ Chenlei was asleep on the couch next to him.
Snowball and Flower Branches squatted beside him left and right, also sleeping soundly.
Shen Yule pushed Situ Ying's sleeve and pointed to Situ Chenlei's side, "Big cousin, look at Xiao Lei'......"
Situ Yingsleeve and Old Madam Shen looked over together and smiled.
Old Madam Shen said: "Seeing Xiao Lei sleeping sweetly, I am also sleepy and want to take a nap." Yule, take your cousin out for a walk. I'll sleep with Xiao Lei for a while. β
Situ Yingsleeve stood up and said happily: "Grandma, Xiao Lei really likes it here." He was very vigilant, unfamiliar with the places he didn't like, and he wouldn't even sit, let alone fall asleep. β
As long as the mind is completely relaxed and there is no mustard, you can fall asleep soundly in a strange place.
Old Madam Shen understood what Situ Yingsleeve meant, smiled, and said, "Go play, grandma will help you watch Xiao Lei." β
Situ Yingsleeve and Shen Yule bowed down together and retreated from Old Madam Shen's room.
They walked side by side out of the courtyard, their maids and maids following from a distance.
Situ Yingsleeve walked and looked at it, comparing it with the situation in his previous life in his memory, and found that it was no different.
Of course, there are differences.
It was not at this time that she came to the Shen family, but after a year or two, her body recovered, and she went out for a walk.
"Big cousin, come this way. There's a lot of mosquitoes in the grass in the sun, and I've never liked it. Shen Yule took Situ Yingsleeve to a small hidden pavilion in the back garden and sat down.
The little pavilion was actually a very small and delicate grass hut, blending in with the surrounding bushes, and from the outside, it was impossible to see at all.
The two of them had only been sitting for a moment when they heard the voices of several women chattering on the other side of the bushes.
The two were silent for a long time, looked at each other, and both understood what the other meant.
Shen Yule stood up with a smile, took Situ Ying's hand, walked down from the small pavilion, bypassed the bushes, and came to a flower garden opposite, and said with a smile: "It's the sisters of the Zhang family, hey, the sisters of the Lu family, the sisters of the Wang family, and the sisters of the Tang'an Hou Mansion are all here!" β
These girls all knew Shen Yule and came to greet her.
Shen Yule greeted them one by one, and introduced Situ Yingsleeve to them: "...... This is my eldest cousin, Yingsleeve, and this banquet is for her and her brother. β
These people are all the girls of the Sanhou and Wuxiang families, no matter what they think of the Situ family, Situ Yingsleeve is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, and these people also know that she is the fiancΓ©e of the prince of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, so they are busy greeting her, holding her hand and talking, very affectionate.
Situ Yingsleeve also greeted them with a smile and did enough courtesy.
After the greetings, the girls dispersed in twos and threes to play with their familiar friends.
Because there are a lot of people, Situ Yingsleeve and Shen Yule are talking with a few girls from the Lu family, and they are also very lively.
There are many girls in the Zhang family, and they are most familiar with the girls in the Hou Mansion of Tang An.
They were not far from Situ Yingsleeve, and the sound of laughter and conversation came from time to time.
Because Miss Zhang San was over there, and the name of "Fifth Prince Xie" came from there from time to time, Situ Ying's ears couldn't help but prick up, listening to them attentively.
"Our third sister, there has been a master for a long time. The fifth son of Xie Wu, who has the highest talent, is our third sister's fast son-in-law! β
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhang Zhenqin spat dissatisfiedly, "It's not settled yet, but you're in a hurry to say that someone is our son-in-law." β
"Huh? Still undecided? Didn't I hear that the gift has already passed? A girl from Tang Anhou's Mansion asked in surprise.
"Who said that?" Zhang Zhenqin was anxious, "Don't believe it!" Nothing! β
"Miss Zhang San, don't be ashamed! Xie Wugongzi is such a good person, if you don't want it, I want it! "Tang Anhou Mansion is a military general, and most of the ladies are relatively straightforward and tough.
Zhang Zhenqin pursed her lips and said in a long voice: "If you like it, ask the matchmaker to come to the door to say goodbye!" What's the matter with me? β
The girl on the other side saw that she was about to quarrel, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "By the way, yesterday's martial arts just ended, I heard that this year's martial arts champion is surnamed Yu, and his name is unknown, but his kung fu is very powerful, whether it is a bow horse, or fist and foot kung fu, it is a first-class good!" β
"Yes! I sneaked out with my big brother yesterday and took a sneak peek. That Wu Zhuangyuan was born tall and mighty, and he was very good-looking. My eldest brother said that in the past ten years, this year's Wu Zhuangyuan has been born like a person! β
Zhang Zhenqin couldn't take her eyes off what she heard, and asked quietly, "Is it a young man?" β
"yes. He has not yet married a wife, he is an orphan, he grew up dependent on his relatives, and I heard that the Marquis of Wanning intends to recruit him......"
Zhang Zhenqin's eldest sister Zhang Zhenyi turned around, winked at her sister Zhang Zhenjing, and said in a low voice: "...... This martial champion is the kind of person that the third sister admires. β
The sisters of the Zhang family all know that the person Zhang Zhenqin likes is a hero who has martial arts, not a talented man who writes poetry. - But thanks to Miss Zhang San's sisters, after today, probably all the noble ladies in the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom will know what Miss Zhang Jiasan's favorite Lang Jun is like......
Situ Yingsleeve frowned when she heard this, and was about to get up to speak, when the corner of her eye flashed, and she caught a glimpse of a moon-white robe flashing under the bushes over there.
