Chapter 47

Duchess Wei Guo was a little fat, her demeanor was very peaceful, and when she saw the old lady leading Shu Manyao into the door, she smiled and said, "You old man, don't you plan to come to my door if I don't invite you over?" ”

The old lady also had a smile on her face, and greeted the people in the room, before sitting down under the Duchess of Weiguo: "In this big summer, you sweat when you move, you still don't know my temperament?" I'm most impatient with this, if you hadn't given me a post, I really wouldn't want to go out. Speaking of which, you've had a really good life, and if you haven't seen you for a few days, your face is a little better. ”

Duchess Wei Guo squinted her eyes and smiled: "That's not, I don't care about everything, I only drink tea and listen to the drama every day, and I have time to talk to you old friends, I feel comfortable, this day is good, life is good, can my face be bad?" But I see, your face is a little not good, but the family is too busy? ”

"That's not it, although my daughter-in-law is not there, my granddaughter is a filial person, and I don't have to worry about the trivial matters at home." The old lady smiled and waved her hand: "I just miss my two granddaughters, this summer, I don't know how they are doing in Jiangnan." ”

As soon as Duchess Wei Guo heard this, she knew that there was another sentence, but she and the old lady had been friends for many years, so she didn't mind helping the old friend to pick it up: "Since you think about it, you will bring people back, I only heard you say that it was because the two girls were sick and it was not suitable to run around, so I didn't bring it back, is it possible that it hasn't been raised for so long?" ”

The old lady hurriedly waved her hand: "It's not, two days ago, my daughter-in-law just brought the letter, the girls are sick, that is, Xu's made a wish for the two girls before, if the girls are safe and healthy, she will worship eighty-one volumes of Buddhist scriptures in Fayuan Temple, this Buddhist scripture is copied, can you not wait for the New Year?" ”

"Your daughter-in-law is a mother-in-law." Duchess Wei Guo sighed, although Shu Manyao disagreed with this sentence, she didn't dare to speak out. According to her thoughts, she wished that everyone in the world knew that the Xu family was a vicious and ruthless person, but the old lady was the ancestor of the Shu family, and everything had to be considered for the family.

Shu Manyao thinks that her three sisters, as long as they marry well, the best thing is that Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu are married to people like Cao Wei in their previous life, but for the old lady, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu are also her granddaughters.

Although Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu are not as favored as Shu Manyao in front of the old lady, if the three sisters are placed on the scale in the old lady's heart, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu together are no match for one Shu Manyao. But that's it, the old lady doesn't allow Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu to marry non-people.

The most important thing is that if Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu's reputation is not good, not to mention that it will affect Shu Manyao, the most direct impact is Shu Zheming's reputation. has such a bad reputation of the mother, no matter how good Shu Zheming is, he will be questioned.

"yes, she's a haode, she's just a little too stubborn." The old lady sighed: "I can't refute her intentions, so I have to respond to this matter, but my two granddaughters are still young, I'm afraid I can't stand the weather in Jiangnan, so I still have to bring them back early." ”

After a few words, the truth that the housemother of the Shu family stayed on Jiangnan East Road and did not come back was covered up. All of you here are all housewives, and they know very well what can be traced to the root of things, and what things can only be listened to. Immediately, some people praised the old lady for her kindness, and praised Xu's filial piety and obedience.

Shu Manyao was tired of panicking when he heard this, so he only lowered his head and played with the jade pendant on his waist. A little girl beside Duchess Wei Guo said with a smile: "Sister Man Yao, is she too boring?" Let's go out and have fun, shall we? ”

Duchess Wei Guo immediately smiled and said: "You little girls, can't you sit here and listen to us, you have listened too much, you don't have to get old, go out and play, Ying'er, didn't you arrange your swing again yesterday?" Take your sister Manyao to have a look. ”

Ying'er nodded with a smile, got up and took Shu Manyao's hand: "Sister Manyao, go, I'll take you to see my swing, it's beautiful, my father personally built it for me, I also asked people to pick flowers and put them on it today, I guarantee that you will like it when you see it." ”

Saying that, he looked at the old lady again: "Old lady Shu, I will take Sister Man Yao to swing, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Sister Man Yao Haode." Make sure she has a good time, eats and drinks happily today. ”

The old lady couldn't hold back her laughter, and said to Duchess Weiguo while nodding: "Your granddaughter, it's really liking in my heart, this mouth is sweet, and the person who says it is like drinking honey in her heart, my granddaughter just doesn't like to talk very much, I look at it, it's not as good as Ying'er." ”

Duchess Wei Guo smiled: "You old thing is showing off, right?" Who doesn't know that your granddaughter is the most stable and dignified? Just one stop here, that all-over temperament, but few people can match, you, just hurry up and be satisfied. Let's put it this way, if you really like my granddaughter, it's just right, I also like your Manyao, why don't we change it? ”

Ying'er immediately reached out and put her arm around Duchess Weiguo: "Oh, grandmother, can you change me out, I can't bear my grandmother the most for my granddaughter." The dim sum made by Mother Liu in my grandmother's yard is the best, and the white fungus soup made by my sister Amber in my grandmother's yard is the best, and I can't leave my grandmother's ...... granddaughter."

Everyone laughed after saying this, especially the Duchess of Weiguo, who laughed crookedly: "Oh, you monkey, are you reluctant to grandmother or reluctant to grandmother The sisters who will make food in your grandmother's yard?" ”

Ying'er grimaced, and everyone laughed. Amused a group of old ladies, Ying'er led Shu Manyao to the garden. The Shu family didn't come early, and there were already many little girls in the garden. Before, Shu Manyao followed the old lady to take each family to be a guest, and she also knew a few girls, so she stepped forward to say hello.

"Whose girl is that?" After a round of greetings, Shu Manyao saw a girl sitting on the swing, talking to the person next to her with a proud face. The one standing next to him, Shu Manyao, knew her, and it was Ying'er's cousin.

"That's the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Guangping." Ying'er pouted with some disdain: "She is the companion of the third princess, and she has the best relationship with the third princess." You'd better not talk to her, because the man has eyes on the top of his head, and he's very mean to someone who doesn't have a family background as well. ”

Shu Man nodded his head, just because he felt that girl was so arrogant in others, so he was a little curious.

Ying'er is enthusiastic and straightforward, quite similar to Li Yingying, Shu Manyao is quite compatible with her, but Ying'er is noble, and there are many people who scold her, Shu Manyao stood on the side for a while, and simply retreated.

"Are you a girl from the Shu family?" As soon as Shu Manyao found a pavilion and wanted to sit for a while, she heard someone behind her ask, and hurriedly turned around and saw a girl in goose yellow clothes tilting her head to look at her from behind. Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly: "Exactly, may I ask ...... you are?"

"Oh, I'm Bai Tingting, and my father is Jingfucheng." The girl said with a smile, Shu Manyao was a little puzzled, how to introduce herself and even introduce her father's official position, but as soon as she thought about it in her mind, she immediately became excited: "You are the cousin of the Bai family?" ”

Bai Tingting nodded: "Well, I also just returned to Beijing, and I heard someone over there talking about you, so I wanted to come over and ask." Auntie, are they okay? My father used to be an official on Fujian Road, and it was too far away, and I hadn't heard from my aunt for many years. ”

Bai Tingting's aunt Bai is Shu Manyao's aunt. Shu Manyao had never heard of the existence of his uncle in his previous life. In this life, she wanted to find out, but she would definitely not be able to find out herself, so she simply asked the old lady.

Only then did I know that the Chen family was implicated in the matter of seizing the heir in the early years, and the old lady of the Chen family was forced to resign and return to his ancestral home with his two sons. Later, the old lady passed away, and the Chen family kept filial piety for three years, and then the old lady passed away, and it was three years of filial piety. The two brothers of the Chen family were discouraged by officialdom, so they simply did not plan to go out again.

The Chen family also wrote letters to the Shu family before, but at that time, Shu Manyao's temperament was eager to hide himself and no one could see it, let alone take the initiative to ask about the news of his uncle's family, and he didn't even want to hear it. The old lady was angry, and she stopped talking to Shu Manyao about this.

"My uncle just wrote a letter some time ago, and under the persuasion of my grandmother, my uncle planned to bring his family to the capital. But later, my aunt had a body," Shu Manyao calculated in his heart: "By this time, it has been seven months, and my aunt is old, and my uncle is really not relieved, so I plan to wait for my aunt to give birth to a child and come over." ”

Bai Tingting suddenly realized: "So that's the case, that's great, my aunt is just a son, and it's really too lonely, it would be great if I could have a younger brother as a companion." ”

"That's true." Shu Manyao smiled and nodded, about the last two uncles were too disappointed in her, and they were far away, so they ignored it. In this life, the last time she wrote a letter to her grandmother to ask for peace to her two uncles, the two uncles were so excited that they immediately sent someone to send a lot of things.

Shu Manyao was sad and remorseful, in her previous life, she really hurt others and herself.

"Have you seen your big cousin?" Bai Tingting walked to the pavilion with Shu Manyao and said with a smile: "The last time I saw my eldest cousin, it was three years ago, my father was going to take office, so I went around to Guangnan East Road to see my aunt, my aunt looked very happy at that time, not at all like a person in her thirties." ”

"I haven't seen my cousin before, so tell me what my cousin looks like, so that I won't recognize him when I see him. Have you seen my second uncle and second aunt? Shu Manyao asked with some curiosity, Bai Tingting nodded and smiled: "I also saw it, my cousin is five points similar to my uncle, and I am three points similar to my aunt, so I am probably so ......tall."

Bai Tingting gestured: "However, it's been three years now, and probably my cousin is going to grow taller again." Your second uncle and second aunt are very good, and your second uncle opened a academy, which is very famous on Guangnan East Road, speaking of which, your cousin is really beautiful and knows a lot......

Shu Manyao is very interested in the affairs of her uncle's family, and there are many things that she can't say. Yes, there is such a relationship, but Bai Tingting also went there once three years ago, and no matter how affectionate or not, the two of them can be regarded as familiar with each other.
