Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Human Heart
Dongmei's face was anxious, things were not as simple as she said, even Herui on the side was anxious.
Shen Rong took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
"Just now Sang Zhi came, saying that the second girl was looking for a girl before, and she wanted to go to the old lady's place with the girl to meet the guests, it seems that several sisters are going to go this time, but you and the fourth girl are here." Dongmei wrinkled her brows: "Originally, the slave wanted to go in and talk to Mr. Gao, but Sang Zhi stopped, the second girl had an explanation, the old lady respected Mr. Gao, since you have come to the Jade Study, leaving halfway is disrespectful to Mr. Gao, so I said that I would go to Fuhua Courtyard immediately after the girls had taken class." β
Later, He Rui also explained the matter to Shen Ying.
Shen Rong nodded thoughtfully and quickened his pace, this matter was a little strange.
At this time in the last life, the people in the fourth room did not come back, so the Hu family did not call a few of them over, and only let Shen Hui go.
In addition, Mama Gui came to Jinlin Courtyard in the morning...... She groaned, it was all her negligence.
Mama Gui has been crawling in this mansion for many years, otherwise she would not have her current status.
She looked down at her outfit today, with six pairs of lotus lotus flowers, embroidered thread skirts on her lower body, wearing a visitor, although she was not dressed up carefully, but it would not make people feel rude.
Three steps and two steps with Shen Ying, and hurried to Fuhua Courtyard.
The sun in the near noon is sprinkled in every corner of the courtyard, and the fragrance blows through a gentle gust of wind, and the maids in the courtyard also do their own things in an orderly manner.
The green silk gauze curtain was changed in front of the door, and the sound in the room could be heard more clearly.
The girl guarding the door spoke, and the two of them crossed the high threshold and entered the house.
The old lady was wearing a gown with a big red background and constant head tattoos, sitting on the plum blossom and vermilion lacquer Arhat bed with a straight waist, and Mrs. Hu was standing behind Mrs. Hu Yanqing and Hu Shaojun.
Hu Yanqing is not as good as his sister's facial features, he is mediocre, and his eyes don't know who he is following, they are as small as a slit.
Shen Rong swept over the two of them casually, and then bent his knees to give the old lady a big salute first, the old lady laughed, didn't look at the two, turned her head and said to Mrs. Hu: "This is Sister Rong, Sister Ying, I haven't seen Mrs. Hu yet, you can let Mrs. Hu wait, the two of them just came out of Mr. Hu's words." He explained it to Mrs. Hu again.
The two of them said hello to Mrs. Hu in unison.
"Okay, good, this reading and literacy is good, like my girl, you know embroidery." Mrs. Hu glanced at Hu Shaojun behind her, smiled deeply, and beckoned the two of them over, took out a green jade gold-inlaid ring and a red gold auspicious cloud pattern bracelet, and gave the two of them as a greeting gift.
"Mother, how can I have a daughter." Hu Shaojun raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, lowered his eyes and said shyly.
The old lady and Mrs. Hu laughed.
Yang opened his mouth: "This daughter's embroidery is a serious matter, I see that Miss Hu is very lovely, and she is very good at embroidery, and I don't know who is blessed to marry Miss Hu into the door in the future." β
Hu Shaojun blushed in amusement, lowered her eyes, she was almost at the age of discussing marriage, and when she thought that after her eldest brother got married, she should prepare for her affairs, and her face turned even redder.
After that, Shen Rong retreated to Shen Lan's right side, Shen Lan glanced at her, she smiled, and said that she was fine.
At noon, the old lady didn't say let go, which meant that she wanted to keep the meal.
Hu Shaojun sat at a table with them, Shen Rong raised his eyes to look at her, met her eyes, and smiled with her, Hu Shaojun was stunned, and also smiled.
"I've heard for a long time that Shaojun embroiders well, why should you be modest, if you are all modest, then how can we live half-, sisters, do you say yes." Shen Hui said with a false smile.
"Sister Hui, you're making fun of me, I almost feel that I'm not cheeky." Hu Shaojun sneered, he didn't know where to look, he looked everywhere, and then he confronted Shen Rong, looking at her with innocent and dumbfounded eyes, and then looked at Shen Rong and smiled.
Whether it was before or after the meal, Shen Rong never said a word, but raised his eyes to look at Hu Shaojun from time to time.
Before leaving, Hu Shaojun took the initiative to pull her aside and asked in a low voice: "Sister, you always stare at me, what is on my face?" β
"No, I think my sister is good-looking, and beauties are always more eye-catching." Shen Rong spoke with a bit of sincerity, pursed his lips and smiled.
Sure enough, this sentence was very useful to Hu Shaojun, and she subconsciously stroked her face: "Really? Good sister, whether what you say is true or not, I'm just happy. β
"Of course it's true." Shen Rong smiled, he likes to listen to good words and be praised by others, it is everyone's nature, especially Hu Shaojun's temperament who dares to speak and do.
Shen Lan couldn't help frowning when she saw Shen Rong talking to Hu Shaojun, this fool was still in the mood to laugh, she walked over angrily: "Miss Hu, I want to say something to my sister." β
Hu Shaojun nodded happily, winked at Shen Rong, and walked away.
"What the hell is going on in your head, I used to see that you were a smart person, why are you confused now? It's all at this time, and I'm still in the mood to laugh, what the hell is going on, didn't that Ruyi tell you? β
Wishful? Why did Ruyi pull Ruyi into it again, she straightened her face: "Sister, I'm also confused, what should Ruyi say to me, don't go to Jade Study Zhai today?"
After the two talked all night, their relationship increased a lot, and they didn't have the same scruples as before.
Shen Lan glanced at her: "Otherwise, Mama Gui didn't go to Jinlin Courtyard, when she entered my house, she said that she had already informed Ruyi, and asked Ruyi to go to Jinyi Garden by the way to tell Sister SΓΉ Ying." It seems that Ruyi this girl ......"
Where is Ruyi, it is clear that Mama Gui is talking about ghosts.
At this time, the old lady sent someone to lead Mrs. Hu to Qingzhu Courtyard, and let all the courtyards disperse.
"Sister, you go back to Jinlin Courtyard with your mother first, it seems that I have to be one step late, don't let my mother worry." She turned her head to watch Mama Gui walk over, her body was still a brand new turquoise flower gown, and the sunlight hit her body through the window paper, shining the oil on her forehead.
"Third girl, the old lady asked you to stay." Mama Gui didn't smile and bent down respectfully.
Shen Rong was taken to the ear room, and the old lady sat on the soft couch with lacquer inlay, her smile was gone, and all that was left was Yan SΓΉ calm.
