Chapter 081: Cousin Xu Qingfeng
Compared with the Xu family, the rules of the Shen family are like herding sheep. Coupled with the connivance of the old lady, Shen Youfu has long been like a wild bear child.
However, the moment he opened the sedan curtain just now, he saw the neat and quiet solemnity of the Xu family, which really gave Shen Youfu a fright.
With this fright, in the next salute, Shen Youfu was very good.
She looked gentle and virtuous, she didn't raise her eyelids much, and only followed Shen Youlan in front of her - she did whatever Shen Youlan did, and she said whatever Shen Youlan said.
In this way, until the end of the round of the salute, she did not make a single mistake.
However, because she kept her head down, she missed the gaze of some people in the Xu family looking at her.
――――
In the Hanjiang courtyard of the Xu family, Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qinghe both entered.
Seeing that the masters came back, the servant maids immediately surrounded them, saluted and served carefully with tea and water, and no one talked nonsense or looked at each other indiscriminately.
In such a scene, if you replace Shen Youfu, I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable again. But for the son of the Xu family, this is normal.
"Qinghe, did you see it just now?" Xu Qingfeng "leisurely" went to the chair, Rao was in his own home, and his sitting posture was also meticulous and upright.
The one who was called Qinghe was the second young master of the Xu family's big house, and he was also the younger brother of Xu Qingfeng's mother. However, his personality is much gentler than that of his eldest brother.
Xu Qinghe said with a smile: "The eldest brother is talking about those cousins and cousins who were at the gate of the mansion just now?" Naturally, my brother saw it. But in my opinion, they're fine. ”
Okay?
Xu Qingfeng frowned. That's because you didn't see the wolf-like appearance of the seventh cousin's maid from the past......
"I hope so! Grandfather is not in good health, originally my father did not approve of letting my aunt come back at this time, but my aunt seems to have something to ask for this time......" Xu Qingfeng thought of his grandfather's condition, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper, "I just hope that this time my cousins and cousins will not make my grandfather angry again." ”
Speaking of their grandfather's illness, the two brothers of the Xu family were silent.
My grandfather devoted himself to his studies, even in his old age. And I don't relax myself. Write books every day, speak and study classics. It's simply tireless.
Just a few days before his aunt's family arrived, he fell ill once.
invited Lang Zhong to take a look, but he only said that it was a lack of yin - heart and kidney yang deficiency and typhoid fever and sore throat. Such a condition may sound like a big deal, but it is very complicated inside. The hardest to heal. In addition to will raise. Slowly retone. There is hardly any other way.
But my grandfather is not the kind of person who can be relieved and care, and does not ask about the world.
Let's take this poetry meeting as an example.
Although my grandfather had already planned to retire from the position of the academy mountaineer, he still divided the poetry club into detail. Written in an orderly manner.
Nawen was in his grandfather's study. Xu Qingfeng also went in and read it - it can be said that as long as it is related to poetry, his grandfather has made a judgment one by one. In addition to citing many precedents, he also wrote his own opinions......
With such a standard, there will be no injustice when the students will compete and judge the merits of how to judge.
This is not the evaluation of a poetry club at all, what my grandfather wrote is almost a classic.
"If the eldest brother is worried, it is better to go to my aunt and speak bluntly, so that my aunt can pay attention to the actions of their group......" Qing He saw that the wrinkles on his brother's forehead were about to catch up with his father, and he was faintly dissatisfied with the Shen family.
Xu Qingfeng nodded. Just now when he greeted him outside the mansion, the moment the carriage opened the curtain, he could already see that the Shen family's impulse was rude...... For the Shen family, they must be strictly guarded, and they must not be allowed to make mistakes again.
Moreover, although my grandfather did not tell my aunt about his illness, it was because he did not want my aunt to worry. But my aunt is going to stay for a while this time...... My grandfather's coughing from time to time couldn't hide from anyone.
In this case, it is better to say it directly.
"Qinghe is right, after they settle down properly in the past two days, I will go to my aunt to explain."
――――
Shen Youfu and her party really have a lot of belongings, she sat on the chair with her hands folded, watching the people go back and forth to sort out her luggage, and there was always the urge to go up and take a hand.
But she held back!
Not only can you not move, but you can't talk nonsense.
At this time, even if you call your subordinates at will, you may expose how rude you are on weekdays because of the inappropriate tone.
Shen Youfu suppressed the urge to lift the table, took a few deep breaths, and tried not to see the Xu family and the Shen family's subordinates busy. Focus on the new environment.
After meeting and saluting at the main gate, the people of the Shen family were led to this courtyard.
Because the Xu family is not in the city but in the middle of the mountain, it covers an extremely wide area. When the Shen family came, they were assigned to an independent courtyard-Lingxiao Courtyard
This courtyard is like a miniature version of the Shen Mansion, and it is also divided into two entrances, and there should be a verandah shadow wall rockery garden, which is a lot, but it is small and small.
Although they are smaller, it is more than enough to live in a second room for them. Shen Youfu, Shen Youlan and Shen Lian can even maintain the treatment of a separate room for each person as if they were in the mansion. But this time, they were all next door, very close to each other.
Shen Youfu looked at the furnishings in the house again, just like she imagined, there was a fragrance of books everywhere, and every arrangement was full of elegance.
It wasn't until she finished reading this that the people on both sides also packed up.
The servants of the Xu family saluted and retreated, and finally only the three of Shen Youfu's master and servant were left in the room.
"Mama Xu, can we close the door?" Shen Youfu looked at the background of those handmaids - this Xu family, even the handmaidens seemed to be carved out of molds, and their expressions were not to be said, but they were a little less lively and angry.
Mama Xu first glanced out, and saw that there was no one outside, so she dared to shake her head vigorously and said, "Miss, just bear with it, it's broad daylight, we just came again." I don't know what someone is going to tell you in a moment...... If the door is closed, it will make people even more suspicious. Said that the young lady doesn't understand the rules! ”
Shen Youfu held her forehead, seeing that this mountain and water were beautiful, could it be a cage!
But before she could protest, Mama Xu's words came true.
I saw a middle-aged woman coming from afar, standing under Shen Youfu's corridor, raising her eyebrows and lowering her eyes: "Slave Xin, I was assigned by the eldest lady to serve the three young ladies." The slave maid has seen Miss Table, and she has said goodbye to Miss Table. ”
When the woman had finished speaking, she bowed.
Shen Youfu had been saluting for a day, and now she has a headache when she sees this. She was just about to habitually say no. Suddenly it occurred to me that this was the Xu family. He bit his tongue and endured it. Shengsheng accepted this gift, and then slowly gave Lu'er a look.
Lu'er took the master's eyes, and then stepped forward and helped this Mama Xin up.
I saw that this grandmother was wearing a very clean light blue cloth dress. cuffs, neckline and hem. They are all embroidered with Hanlan. Hair is combed cleanly. The hands and face are also clean and tidy.
Although Mama Xin's clothes are like the lowest mother-in-law of the Shen family, how can any mother-in-law dare to embroider on her clothes?
This must be the right hand of the eldest lady.
Shen Youfu didn't get up, but with a decent smile. said to Mama Xin: "Then there will be Mama Lao." In addition, the young Fu sisters are new to the house, and they don't know the rules of their grandfather's house very well, if there is any rudeness, please don't see the outside, and mention more. ”
Shen Youfu's words, although she asked her grandmother to mention something, she also said it with the master's shelf.
So it's not an exaggeration to say that this is an order.
When Mama Xin heard this, she nodded gently: "Miss Cousin has raised the slave maid, and Miss Cousin will do what Miss Cousin ordered, and the slave and maid will definitely do it." ”
Mama Xin said and didn't forget to give Shen Youfu a smile back - she had just come from the fifth miss of the Shen family, and the fifth miss was very different from this seventh miss.
When I met Miss Five, the other party also looked like a great enemy. Mama Xin is well-informed and knows that when they come to the Xu family, they will inevitably be very restrained. But Miss Five's nervousness made her, who was already manly, even colder.
Even speaking became unnatural.
However, the seventh lady in front of her is still a few years older than her sister. Gentle appearance, good figure, polite advance and retreat, but without losing human touch.
It's rare that it's quite smart!
knew that he was weak, and used the excuse that he didn't understand the rules at first, and asked her to give advice. In this way, I have to be more dedicated.
Originally, it was rumored that the most unoptimistic was this Miss Seven, because she had made mistakes after all. But in this way...... Maybe it's grown up to be more sensible!
There was nothing unusual on Mama Xin's face, only a faint approval in her eyes.
The eldest lady let herself take a look...... Now look, this one is good!
Next, it's time to go and see Miss Six.
I don't know what the appearance of that young lady is? The eldest lady said that she doesn't care about her background, this time, as long as she picks the best, she will be worthy of that Han Gongzi......
Shen Youfu naturally didn't know what Mama Xin was thinking, if she had known, I am afraid that she would rather be rude by herself.
And now, she saw that Mama Xin's eyes were faintly satisfied with her, and she was even very happy, and she had a few polite words with Mama Xin, and then let the other party leave.
Not long after Mama Xin left, Shen Youfu didn't have time to get up from the chair when she saw another person outside.
This time, it's my own family.
The maid next to my mother came and said that the Xu family had prepared a reception banquet and asked everyone to prepare and go on time.
When Shen Youfu heard that she finally couldn't sit still, she sent away the maidservant who reported the news, and she motioned for Lu'er to help her go to the back room. Walking straight to the innermost corner, to ensure that the outside is invisible, Shen Youfu slid down the bed frame and sat on the bed.
"I'd rather go to the mountains and graze!" Shen Youfu hummed with a crying voice. "It's so easy to eat grass, you can eat whatever you want......"
Shen Youfu thought of having to eat according to the rules, and her mood was extremely broken.
But the people around her refused to help her willfulness, hearing her snort like this, Mama Xu jumped up like a burning buttocks, and hurriedly looked at the wind at the door, for fear that someone would see the master's skin.
And Lu'er almost didn't step forward to cover Shen Youfu's mouth: "Master, good master, just bear with it." If you can't bear it, I'm afraid the two slaves and maids will be sold again. ”
Shen Youfu leaned weakly on the bed frame, look! Two of his most heartfelt subordinates have "defected".
She had to come up with an idea, otherwise there would be so many days before the end of the poetry meeting, and she would have to die of embarrassment.
You know, rules are for people! With rules, everything should be smoother and more accessible. It's not like that, it's all about making people suffer. (To be continued......)
