Chapter 108
The next day, Shu Manyao got up half an hour earlier than usual, deliberately picked out a plain but not obscure dress, and took Xia Xi and Jingchun to the old lady's Ronghua Garden. Originally, she thought that she had gotten up early enough, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at Ronghua Garden, she saw that Shu Manjin also came early, and if she looked closely, there was still a little blue under her eyes, probably because she didn't sleep well last night.
"The second sister came early, didn't the third sister come together?" Shu Manyao asked with a smile, Shu Manjin got up and saluted Shu Manyao, the smile on her face was a little stiff, she and Manyu had another quarrel last night, and she simply didn't call Manyu when she came over today. Consciously let Shu Manyao see the joke, Shu Manjin was a little uncomfortable: "The third sister slept well, so I didn't call her." ”
"Oh, the second sister's face is a little not good, but she didn't sleep well last night?" Shu Manyao didn't pursue it, anyway, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu sisters are now poisonous snakes with teeth extracted, and there is no threat at all, but they are entangled in some diaphragms, and Shu Manyao doesn't take them seriously.
"It was windy last night, and there were more bamboos planted in my yard, so I didn't sleep well all night." Shu Manjin pinched her eyebrows, and looked at Shu Manyao: "The eldest sister looks very good, she must have rested well last night." ”
"Yes, I am happy at the thought that someone will take care of the household chores for me in the future, and as soon as I am happy, I will naturally sleep peacefully this night." Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows, smiling easily, Shu Manjin was even more uncomfortable, since the death of the Xu family, she and Manyu have never touched the stewardship of the Shu family again. Although I have learned it before, this kind of thing as a housekeeper is not something that can be done by just listening to two sentences.
It's not that she didn't want to fight with Shu Manyao for the right to be a housekeeper, but the old lady didn't work, and she didn't agree a few times, so she died. originally thought that when Shu Manyao got married, wouldn't the opportunity for her and Manyu come?
Who knows, halfway to bite the gold, this new lady has served the queen, so it must not be a little incompetent. When Shu Manyao gets married, this Shu family will be handed over to the new lady, right?
"Big sister has worked hard." Shu Manjin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "However, just like the big sister said, with a new lady, in the future, the big sister will not have to work so hard." After all, the new lady is the rightful housewife of our Shu family. ”
Shu Manyao smiled, is this a mockery of her Ji Si Chen? However, Shu Manyao didn't care about this kind of verbal confrontation two years ago, and at this time, he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with Shu Manjin, and his subordinates were defeated.
"Big girl, the old lady is awake." Shu Manyao was holding a teacup and looking at a pot of chrysanthemums on the table, so she came in with Jinzhu and saluted Shu Manjin: "Second girl, are you drinking tea here, or are you going in?" ”
Shu Manjin saw Shu Manyao get up, and hurriedly got up and went in: "I went in to serve my grandmother, Jin Zhu, you go and make a bowl of honey water, just get up in the morning, drink a cup This is the best for the body." ”
"Yes," Jin Zhu said with a smile, lifting the curtain to lead them in. Then Shu Manjin's face was a little hot - the old lady was sitting on the bed at this moment, holding a glass of water in her hand, and the faint sweetness was not honey water?
"Grandmother, you got up so early today, are you in a hurry to drink your daughter-in-law's tea?" Shu Manyao smiled and leaned over, took the clothes next to him, and served the old lady with his own hands, and the old lady's smiling eyebrows and eyes were stretched: "It's all said, just let Jinzhu do these things, you wait for a sip of hot water on the side first, how can you do it yourself?" ”
"It's my filial piety to serve my grandmother, and I can't let people rob me of my errand." Shu Manyao made a grimace, holding the old lady's arm to put on the clothes, Shu Manjin wanted to help, but after two turns, she couldn't find a place to intervene, and finally waited for the old lady to get out of bed and stand up, she hurriedly took the belt and came over to wrap it around the old lady, but she didn't tie it, so she heard the old lady say: "It's a little tight, loose." ”
Shu Manjin hurriedly loosened the belt a little more, and was about to tie it, when the old lady shook her head again: "It's too loose." ”
Shu Manjin's face turned red, Shu Manyao hurriedly took the belt in her hand, adjusted it herself, and then tied it: "Grandmother, don't be angry, the second sister has never done this, no better than me, the hand is familiar, in the future, grandmother asked the second sister to come a few more times, and the second sister will naturally be." ”
Shu Manjin is very smart, Shu Manyao said one sentence, she could hear ten words from it, so her face was even more ugly at this time. When the old lady saw this, her brows furrowed even tighter, but she didn't speak, this time was not suitable for teaching her granddaughter. After waiting for a while, I called that Jiang's mother in private and explained it carefully.
Thinking about it, the old lady bowed her head slightly, and motioned to Shu Manyao to put on her forehead, she was old, even if it was only August at this time, the old lady couldn't stand it.
"Old lady, the eldest young master and the second young master are here." Jin Zhu said outside, Shu Manyao wants Shu Zhihui to be his backer, it doesn't mean that he wants to alienate the two boys of the Shu family, so that the Shu family will have to play after a hundred years.
Therefore, since Shu Zhihui's third birthday, every time she came to ask the old lady to say goodbye, it was Aunt Wang who sent people to Shu Zheming first, and asked Shu Zheming to bring Shu Zhihui over to say goodbye.
As soon as the old lady heard that her two grandsons were coming, the smile on her face became even more comfortable: "Let them come in, it's still cold at this time, don't freeze, Jinzhu, is the soup in the kitchen ready?" Serve it to the two young masters first. ”
Jin Zhu responded with a smile: "The old lady doesn't need to explain, Sister Jinhuan has already prepared, the fish soup is just warm and can be eaten at this time, the eldest young master and the second young master are warming up in the flower hall, the old lady doesn't have to worry, can you still wronged the two young masters in Ronghua Garden?" ”
"It's a pity that you don't want to be a storyteller." The old lady smiled from ear to ear, and when she brought the hairpin and step shake, she looked in the mirror and felt that it was properly packed, so she led Man Yao and Man Jin out.
Man Yu was just one step behind, Shu Zheming and Shu Zhihui arrived on the front foot, and she arrived on the back foot. At this time, he was also drinking the fish soup slowly, and when he saw the old lady followed by Shu Manyao and Shu Manjin, he glanced at it, and looked away.
The grandparents didn't say a few words, and it was rumored outside that Shu Chengye and his wife had come over. The old lady hurriedly put down the teacup, coughed lightly, turned her head and asked Shu Manyao: "Manyao, grandmother is like this today, is it okay?" ”
Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly: "Absolutely, grandmother is majestic and kind, imposing and amiable, serious and gentle, she will definitely be able to calm the scene, grandmother, you can rest assured." ”
The old lady couldn't laugh or cry at what she said, reached out and nodded her forehead, and then turned her head to look at Jin Zhu, Jin Zhu hurriedly went over, opened the door curtain with her own hands, and welcomed Shu Chengye and the new lady into the door.
It was not the first time that Shu Manyao had seen this new lady, but it was the first time that Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu, as well as Shu Zheming and Shu Zhihui had seen each other, and the four of them turned their heads curiously to look at the new lady.
The girl of the Cheng family, now she can't be called a girl, the newly appointed Mrs. Shu is twenty-seven years old this year, her name is Cheng Sirui, she has a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and thin lips, she is about a new marriage, her eyebrows and eyes are affectionate, her cheeks are pink, and she looks like she is only twenty.
Shu Chengye led Cheng Sirui forward to greet the old lady, the old lady nodded again and again, reached out and took the red envelope to Shu Chengye and Cheng Sirui respectively, and gave Cheng Sirui an extra set of jewelry: "I'm old, and I can't care about your young people's affairs, in the future, you and Chengye must tolerate each other, Qin Se and Mingcai, and strive to give me a big fat grandson as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Sirui's face turned even redder, took the tea and handed it to the old lady, kowtowed again, and then got up to see Shu Manyao and the others. Shu Manyao is the boss, the first to come forward to salute, Cheng Sirui gave a set of female red gadgets - purses, sachets, fans and other objects.
Then there are Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu, Shu Manjin has always been able to pretend, and he is vomiting to death in his heart, and he also has a smile on his face at this time, Shu Manyu is a straight temper, but he also knows the occasion, and he doesn't dare to lose his temper, so he only accepts what Cheng Sirui gave him with a stiff face.
When it comes to boys, it's the four treasures of the study. Shu Zhihui and Shu Zheming are now both sons-in-law, and this gift is not high or low, at most, because of age, Shu Zheming got a normal size, and Shu Zhihui got a relatively small pen and ink for enlightenment.
gave a greeting gift, and everyone began to change their words. Shu Manyao has no psychological barriers, she can even call Xu's mother, why can't Cheng's be called?
However, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu were a little awkward, Cheng only smiled, and didn't care, and then followed Shu Chengye to the ancestral hall. went to the ancestral hall, and got the patriarch to see the gift, and wrote his name on the family tree, but fortunately, the Shu family was not prosperous, and the Cheng family turned this circle in half a day.
Back to the yard, Shu Chengye sat down and drank tea, and said: "You have seen everyone in the family, if there is anything in the future, just ask your mother, or ask Manyao, Manyao has been helping her mother to take care of the house during this time, and the things at home are also clear, you rest for a few days, wait for a while, get familiar with the situation at home, and then slowly start housekeeping." ”
Cheng Sirui smiled gently: "Okay, I know, don't worry, if there is anything, I will go to my mother and ask." By the way, what did Man Yao say? She's seventeen this year, right? ”
Shu Chengye frowned slightly, and Cheng Sirui hurriedly explained: "I thought, if Man Yao said that someone else, it would be time to start making wedding dresses and other things, if I can help, I will often go over to help." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, it's arranged by your mother." Shu Chengye waved his hand and said, paused, and added: "There is an aunt at home, if you are free, you can see it, if you don't want to see it, it's okay, she used to be very peaceful, never come here, if you want to make rules, let people call her." ”
Cheng Sirui responded with a smile, seeing that it was almost noon, she hurriedly changed her clothes and went to Ronghua Garden with Shu Chengye, how could this new daughter-in-law have to stand for a few days.
