Chapter 17 I plan to return to Xu's house
Xu Qirong saluted Mrs. Shen expressionlessly, and then stood straight in front of Mrs. Shen.
When Mrs. Shen saw her like this, she only thought she was too homesick, so she beckoned, pulled the person into her arms, and said, "When will grandma see you again when you go back?" β
Xu Qirong subconsciously wanted to say, "Then I'll not go back", and then immediately thought of Xu Qijin.
Xu Tingyuan, who is a father, does not treat her as a daughter, her biological mother Shen has passed away, and Xu Qijin is her closest relative in the world. However, she remembered that she began to get sick when she returned to Xu's house, and she was sick for more than half a year.
At this time in her last life, she was still a child and had no concept of life and death. Since God has given her a chance to start over, she can think of ways to save the Shen family, and naturally she also wants to save Xu Qijin.
Therefore, although she didn't want to face Xu Tingyuan, she still had to go back to Xu's house this time.
So, Xu Qirong said to Mrs. Shen: "Grandma will send someone to pick me up next year, and my sister and I will come to accompany grandma." β
Hearing Xu Qirong mention Xu Qijin, Mrs. Shen showed a look of nostalgia: "The last time I saw Jin girl, it was in Yunying's arms, small, pink and tender, and a pair of big eyes like grapes transplanted from Fanbang in the southwest corner of the garden. I haven't seen each other for so many years, but I'm afraid that Jin Yatou doesn't remember my grandmother anymore. β
Xu Qirong said: "How come, if it weren't for the need for someone to burn paper money in front of my mother's spiritual seat this time, my sister should also want to accompany my grandmother." β
Old Lady Shen stretched out her hand and pinched Xu Qirong's face, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Xu family said that your sisters look very similar. I remember that when Jin Yatou was young, it was almost exactly the same as when your mother was born. When I think I've grown up, I've changed a bit. β
This means that Xu Qirong does not look much like the Shen family.
Xu Qirong didn't care, in her previous life, she knew that she didn't look like her father or mother, but she was very much like the one in the Xu family's Buddhist hall.
Thinking of that, Xu Qirong suddenly became sad, when he married Yun Lan, he didn't wait for the three dynasties to return to the door, and he got the news that the immortal had gone. She has always been in good health, why is it suddenly gone, this is also something that Xu Qirong has not found out.
Mrs. Shen thought that she had aroused her granddaughter's thoughts of her deceased mother, so she couldn't help but hold the person in her arms and was relieved: "It's okay, maybe my grandmother will also move to live near the capital in the future, and it will be much more convenient to see your sisters at that time." β
Xu Qirong came back to his senses, pondering the meaning of Mrs. Shen's words, but asked in his mouth, "Has the third uncle found it?" β
It's already early March, and Shen Huiqiu has been missing for two months.
Hearing her granddaughter mention this, Mrs. Shen showed a sincere smile on her face: "Your second uncle came here just now, saying that there is already news of your third uncle." Your second uncle has already sent someone to look for it. β
"Really!" Xu Qirong's eyes lit up, and he put his mind at ease: "Is the third uncle injured?" Why hasn't he come back for so long? β
Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "When your third uncle comes back, you can just ask the third uncle yourself." Grandma is with you, how do you know what's going on with your third uncle! β
Xu Qirong was a little deflated, and pouted: "When the third uncle comes back, I will already leave." "Or is Xu Qijin not available after she went back for more than half a year, so it doesn't matter if she stays in the Shen family for a few more months? Thinking like this, Xu Qirong couldn't help but say again, "Grandma, I'm not going back, I'll wait for the third uncle to come back!" β
She always needs to see that her third uncle is safe and sound!
Old Mrs. Shen's face was overjoyed, she was also reluctant to let Xu Qirong go, and then remembered the content of Xu Tingyuan's letter, she couldn't help but shake her head, and said, "The eighth day of the fourth month is not only the Buddha's birthday, but also your mother's birthday. Your father wants to set up a dojo for your mother, how can you do it if you don't go back! β
As soon as Mrs. Shen said this, Xu Qirong raised her eyebrows in surprise, she didn't remember whether Xu Tingyuan had set up a dojo for her biological mother Shen in her previous life. It's just that, in her opinion, Xu Tingyuan is a person who pays a lot of attention to identity, and after Shen's death, he remarried a down-and-out young lady from a scholarly family, and has never mentioned Shen again. It can be seen that he doesn't attach much importance to the Shen family.
In that case, how could he make a dojo for the Shen family?
Xu Qirong thought maliciously in his heart, is it because the Shen family is still the richest man in Yangzhou?
From an angle that Old Lady Shen couldn't see, Xu Qirong pulled up a mocking smile.
In the end, Xu Qirong told Mrs. Shen Qianqian: "The third uncle is back, grandma, you must write a letter to tell SΓΉ Qirong!" β
Seeing her serious appearance, Mrs. Shen was also happy, and said with a smile: "You are a ghost!" β
Two days later, the person sent by the Xu family to pick up Xu Qirong really arrived. The leader is Gao Bo, who has been with Xu Tingyuan for a long time.
Gao Bo was a miserable beggar when he was young, and once when he was grabbing another beggar's bun on the street, he met Xu Tingyuan, who was only thirteen years old. Xu Tingyuan took the person back to Xu's house. From then on, Gao Bo followed Xu Tingyuan's side and waited before and after the saddle, until Xu Qirong married into Yunfu, Gao Bo also followed Xu Tingyuan.
Gao Bo's life experience is known to the entire Xu Mansion. The son of the Xu Mansion bullied him a lot at first. Probably because of his experience when he was a child, Gao Bo was very fierce, every time those children bullied him, he didn't want to die and retaliate, and then no one dared to provoke him.
Xu Qirong couldn't figure it out before, why did her father pick up a little beggar who bullied a beggar who was weaker than herself and went home, but now she understands, her father, Sanguan has never been right!
When you see Gao Bo, you will think of Xu Tingyuan. Therefore, when Gao Bo went to see Mrs. Shen and came to see his young lady in Shuangpu Courtyard, he was very surprised to be closed.
Yu Qiu said to Uncle Gao with an innocent face: "The girl is copying scriptures in the small study, and no one is allowed to enter. β
At this time, Gao Bo was only twenty-two years old, and no matter how fierce he was to those children, when facing his own young lady, his heart was still as soft as something! What's more, the two sisters, Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin, grew up under his watch, and in his heart they have a higher status than the daughter he has not yet met!
Hearing Yu Qiu say that his young lady was still copying scriptures, Gao Bo was so distressed: "How long has Miss copied it?" Won't your hands be sore? Eyes are not tired! If you are tired of your eyes, how can it be good! Why don't you take a break? β
Yu Qiu sighed, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "It's okay, when you came, the girl just went in." β
"......" What to do, it seems that I am disgusted by my own lady! Gao Bo is really distressed this time, especially painful!
Yu Qiu was also a little afraid of Uncle Gao, seeing Uncle Gao's suddenly gloomy face, he was so scared that he didn't dare to walk away quietly.
Gao Bo struggled with himself for a while before he instructed Yu Qiu with a gloomy face: "I brought a lot of things, all for the Shen family." You take me to send it to the Shen family's courtyards one by one, and you say that our young lady asked me to send it. β
He himself is struggling at the bottom, and naturally understands the world better than the children of these big families. Now that the main mother has passed away, the only thing the two young ladies can rely on is the Shen family, except for the master. Being able to make the Shen family remember Miss is good for these little things, and he is happy to think about these for Miss.
Yu Qiu hurriedly agreed, and sent Kyoto specialties from yard to yard with Gao Bo.
Xu Qirong didn't see the gift list sent by the Xu family, if he did, he probably would be puzzled again. It's not that there's anything strange about the gift list, it's just that the gift list lists five marquees, all of which are fashionable in Kyoto this year. prepared for Shen He, Shen Yaru, Shen Yahui, Shen Bin, and Shen Li respectively.
The marquee is not easy to carry, from this point of view alone, the Xu family attaches great importance to the Shen family's in-laws. Otherwise, they wouldn't even remember how many children the Shen family had. Even Shen Bin and Shen Li, who had just been born for a few months, took into account it!
Therefore, if Xu Qirong sees this gift list, it is not strange!
After Uncle Gao gave the gift, he was taken by the Shen family to the guest room to rest. The Shen family knew that Xu Qirong was leaving, and they were quite reluctant. Especially Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui, when they learned that Xu Qirong was about to leave, they didn't even open their own gift, so they came to Shuangpu Courtyard to find Xu Qirong.
Shen Yahui pursed her lips and said to Xu Qirong: "Sister Rong, can you not leave?" If you're gone, I won't have a sister! β
It's strange to say that among the girls of the Shen family, Shen Yahui is the youngest, her maternal grandfather Chen family, and the son of the whole family. Therefore, all of the girls who are related to Shen Yahui are only Xu Qirong who is two years younger than her.
Shen Yaru has always been more sensible than Shen Yahui, and she is very reluctant at the moment: "Otherwise, stay a few more days, why do you have to leave tomorrow!" β
Xu Qirong said helplessly: "I want to make a dojo for my mother on the eighth day of the fourth month...... Third cousin, fourth cousin, if you have a chance in the future, you can come to the capital to play with me! β
Saying this, Shen Yahui's eyes lit up again: "Okay, okay, bring my twin brother when the time comes!" β
Xu Qirong didn't know why Shen Yahui was involved in her twin brother, but still smiled: "When the time comes, I will take you to Yanluo Xie Street to buy delicious food!" β
Shen Yaru took Xu Qirong's hand and was also happy: "Let's go to the old ancestor to talk to the old ancestor, the second brother knows that Sister Rong is leaving, and it is estimated that he will come to this Shuangpu Courtyard to find Sister Rong soon." Let's go to the ancestor, and the second brother doesn't dare to talk nonsense. β
Xu Qirong thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he hurriedly took the two big girls of pearl and jade, and rushed to Nanyun Courtyard with Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui.
Sure enough, not long after they left, Shen He came to the Shuangpu Courtyard in a hurry, and when he asked, he heard that people had gone to Nanyun Courtyard, and he hurriedly ran in the direction of Nanyun Courtyard.
I didn't expect to arrive before the three sisters.
