Chapter 102: That Bad Girl
How is the fifth sister's marriage, Shen Youfu really can't interfere.
And in fact, from her point of view, these two people are quite right.
The matter of the poetry meeting is over, the marriage is finalized, and then she can finally go back to her home - Shen Youfu remembered that there were still a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in her house, and she immediately felt that her life was extremely fulfilling.
Before leaving, because the reception banquet when the Shen family came was unhappy, so this time, Mrs. Xu specially ordered to prepare a more "grand" send-off banquet.
Still in the original hall, there are still two screens separated by them.
Shen Youfu cautiously looked at the extra shredded meat in the green vegetables in front of her, and burst into tears - thinking that she could almost eat a year's worth of meat in Xu Mansion in one meal, what a sin!
But it's better than nothing!
Just as she stretched out her chopsticks to the shredded meat, she suddenly heard Shen Youlan's whispered reminder: "Don't eat it!" Grandfather is calling you! ”
Shen Youfu was so focused on the shredded meat that she wasn't listening to the men's seat at all. This was suddenly reminded by Shen Youlan, just like being shouted up by the same table to answer questions when she was sleeping in class!
Frightened, the shredded meat she had managed to catch fell back into the bowl......
However, Shen Youfu immediately put down her chopsticks and walked out from behind the screen respectfully-this is the last day, and she doesn't want to be punished for making a mistake for being rude.
Especially the Xu family's family law is so terrible!
Shen Youfu had already hung her head and stood outside the screen on the side of the men's seat.
Through the screen of green gauze embroidered bamboo, Shen Youfu could just see the suffocating figure inside.
Old lady Xu sat on the top. On the left hand are two uncles, then two cousins...... And his father, Second Master Shen, is sitting on the right hand side.
I only heard Old Lady Xu say to Second Master Shen with a smile: "This time, I didn't plan to let you come, all because of my cough disease." Now, thanks to Youfu's licorice tea and pear soup, this illness is much better! ”
Second Master Shen has always been humble to people, but when he heard that it was Shen Youfu who was complimented, he was happy in his heart, so he couldn't help but want to praise a few words.
"My father-in-law said it very well, Xiao Qi is indeed talented. The same is true in our house. No matter how big or small. There wasn't anything she wouldn't...... That is, the poetry book is a little worse. After the second master finished boasting, he was a little embarrassed, and smiled innocently: "This is also a good upbringing." ”
Second Master Shen's words made Shen Youfu's heart warm outside the screen.
The second master is stupid and pure. As long as someone compliments. He will humbly deny it. And then modestly say that a whole bunch of shortcomings come out. Today, I can admit myself in public, although I still mention that "poetry and books are worse", but it has already been explained. He really feels good......
After listening to the words of the second master, the old lady also figured out this meaning.
He stroked his beard and nodded. Although the cough disease has not been cured, Shen Youfu has indeed done him a great favor - otherwise he would not have been able to participate in the poetry meeting at all, and he would have missed the surprise and shock brought to him by those young people at this poetry meeting.
That's a big deal.
It is precisely because of this that the old lady wants to call Shen Youfu out and praise her alone.
Old lady Shen looked at the figure outside the screen: "Your father is the most humble, even he praises you, it can be seen that you are an excellent ......"
The old lady was just halfway through her sentence when she suddenly stopped.
Through the screen of the veil, he couldn't see Shen Youfu's face, but he could just see the outline of a person's figure...... Why is it so familiar?
Looks like you've seen it somewhere?
The old lady knew very well that this impression of hers did not come from Shen Youfu, but from another person.
But who is it?
Shen Youfu stood in front of the screen and gently bent the corners of her mouth. She knew that the highest level reward of the Xu family was the old lady's personal praise.
I heard that the last time she came, she was also praised by the old lady. However, it aroused Shen Lian's jealousy, and the next day she designed her maid to make a mistake and was punished. And this trip to the Xu family, she not only made Shen Lian suffer a big loss, but now she has also been praised by the old lady again!
When you go back, you must tell Shen Lian to know...... Angry with her.
Shen Youfu was proud in her heart, so she became more and more flattering: "Grandfather, don't worry about coughing. Youfu knows that a prescription can cure cough disease. It's just that the recipe is more troublesome, after Youfu returns home, she will search carefully, and send someone to send it to you. ”
The old lady nodded, he had also heard Qingfeng say about this, and he thought that Qingfeng was comforting him, so he didn't think much about it.
Now it seems to be true.
The old lady was overjoyed - after all, it was not a matter of eating pear soup every day.
But......
Why does this sound familiar?
The more Old Lady Xu pondered, the more wrong it became, but he really couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing that the old lady didn't answer for a long time, Second Master Shen thought that he was coughing again. So he said to the old lady: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will urge Xiao Qi to get the recipe out as soon as possible." Don't worry, Xiao Qi has always been the best at conditioning these things. ”
Little Seven ......
Old Lady Xu heard this name, but suddenly remembered another person in her mind - Youqi!
Miss Shen Qi's young husband! Young Seven!
He grew his mouth in surprise, the figure and voice outside the screen, and the name...... How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
"You say, isn't Yet, youfu is not good at poetry and books?" Old lady Xu couldn't take care of the cough medicine anymore, he looked at the figure that looked like Youqi outside, and asked the second master with a bit of solemnity.
How does the second master know that Zhiyoufu is good at poetry and books?
He just felt that compared to the Xu family's efforts in poetry and books...... Then Shen Youfu must not be good at it!
He nodded honestly: "Ashamed, ashamed." If she could get her father-in-law's guidance, she would not be so dull, this is all her son-in-law's. ”
Old lady Xu ignored these.
He thought of Youqi's cousin at the poetry meeting, the two poems on the wall of Qide Courtyard that had been copied by his own hands, the regret of not being able to accept the closed disciple in the end, and the fact that such a prodigy might be his granddaughter......
Old Lady Xu was excited. He stared at the figure outside with wide eyes, and suddenly said, "Youfu, where did you go on the day of the poetry meeting?" ”
After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she immediately listened attentively, trying to discern the truth from the voice.
Shen Youfu was shocked, this old lady's thinking is enough to jump!
Did he say something wrong, or did someone else say something wrong that made him see the clue?
Otherwise, how could he suddenly ask such a question!
Shen Youfu knows that the more she talks at this time, the easier it is to be exposed. The old lady must not know the truth yet. Otherwise, you will definitely go straight to the whip. Wouldn't sit here and ask her.
But how should she answer this question?
"I, I'm ...... that day" Shen Youfu didn't even dare to speak, how could she tell for herself?
Just when she was in a hurry. Xu Qingfeng in the men's seat couldn't sit still.
He was afraid that Shen Youfu would say in public that her mother slandered her - the day of her mother. He also questioned Shen Youfu like his grandfather.
Xu Qingfeng interjected: "Back to grandfather's words." My cousin was in the house that day. ”
Old lady Xu was waiting for Shen Youfu's answer, who knew that she was stabbed by her grandson like this, and she was immediately dissatisfied. Besides. On the day of the poetry meeting, Xu Qingfeng also went to the academy to help, but for the sake of fairness, the Xu family was not allowed to participate in the poetry meeting.
So what does he know?
"It's getting more and more unruly......" the old lady reprimanded sternly, then turned his face and stared at Shen Youfu.
He felt more and more suspicious, he must find out today, if Shen Youfu is that Youqi - then he really educated these children and grandchildren in vain, and they will all go to do business with the Shen family in the future!
…… He goes himself!
Even through the screen, Shen Youfu could feel the burning gaze of Old Lady Xu. Thinking that Shen Lian still couldn't turn over, Shen Youfu felt that her whole body hurt when she was looked at by this gaze.
But fortunately, she usually has enough character, and although Xu Qingfeng shut up at this time, Mrs. Xu suddenly spoke!
"Back to my father, on the day of the young husband, in my Gyeongbokgwon, he accompanied me to talk about tea for a day."
The eldest lady did not want to mention the events of that day again, on the one hand, because she was afraid of being punished, and on the other hand, when she heard the old lady ask like this, she thought that the old lady was the same as her, where did she hear the rumors of chewing her tongue!
Could it be that Shen Lian is not honest? The eldest lady has already been fooled once, so naturally she can't watch the old lady be fooled too. So he simply said that this matter was dead, and no one could mention it again in the future.
For Xu Qingfeng and the eldest lady, there is actually another reason buried deep in their hearts - they all feel that they owe Shen Youfu, so they don't want to misunderstand and wronged her anymore.
Sure enough, when the eldest lady said this, the old lady's enthusiasm was completely extinguished.
Since Shen Youfu is indeed in the Shen family, it can only be said that the world is big, and there is no wonder, there are two people who are so similar.
Besides, Shen Youfu is a woman!
The old lady waved his hand: "Well, you go back and sit down." The matter of the prescription will be for you. ”
After the old lady said this, she ordered everyone to continue eating...... But why do you suddenly feel a little sorry in your heart?
When Shen Youfu returned to her seat, she was already covered in a cold sweat and almost collapsed! Fortunately, after eating this meal, the Shen family is about to go home, and now the carriage is waiting at the door!
――――
As soon as the farewell banquet ended, Shen Youfu took advantage of the crowd and immediately walked in the front, and she walked quickly.
The old lady and the Xu family followed behind to see off their daughter and son-in-law. While telling his daughter and son-in-law, he should prepare the dowry of the fifth young lady Shen Youlan earlier. On the other hand, he couldn't help but look at Shen Youfu's back.
Resemble! It's so similar!
The old lady didn't expect that after his grandson and eldest daughter-in-law came out to testify, he still didn't give up.
But the mood of seeking the truth pushed him to go faster and faster, until he saw Shen Youfu hiding behind everyone and turning around to say goodbye, and then got into the carriage again!
Because of the salute, Shen Youfu's face was finally exposed in front of the old lady.
The old lady looked at the face in shock—except for the complexion, and the unsightly wrinkles. The rest of the eyebrows and eyes, this is clearly the same person! Especially with those bright eyes, it is impossible to admit mistakes at all!
After affirming this, the old lady was shocked, like a lightning strike. There are even more turbulent waves in my heart.
But the Shen family's carriage had already driven away......
Old lady Xu walked back to Qide Courtyard in a trance all the way, and her heart became more and more indignant! Forget it if you lie! What exactly are the skills? Can she let her eldest daughter-in-law and Qingfeng help her cover?
"Huaiqiu! Do you know where Miss Shen Youfu went on the day of the poetry meeting? The old lady pushed the pear soup away and snorted angrily.
Huaiqiu has been with him for so long, so she won't talk to that bad girl, right!?
Huaiqiu was taken aback. She is a subordinate, and she has also heard about Miss Youfu's misunderstanding by the eldest lady. The old lady asked at this time......
"Miss Youfu was in the house that day, and the slave maid also went to the Lingxiao Courtyard to find her to teach her how to make pear soup!"
You! You guys......
Shen Youfu! In vain, I kindly accepted you as a closed disciple, you, you give me back! (To be continued......)
