Shu Manyu ripped off the chrysanthemum in his hand with an angry face, kneaded it into a ball in his hand, and cursed in a low voice: "Little slut who can't die well!" The face is yellow and thin, and the face is decrepit! looks like a beggar woman, those people are blind? They are full of praise one by one! ”

The maids in the back all lowered their heads, just as if they didn't hear it.

Shu Manyu scolded for a while, and saw Shu Manjin coming around from under the corridor next to him, pouting, Shu Manyu threw the pinched chrysanthemum in his hand into the flower pot, and greeted Shu Manjin: "Second sister, why did you come out too?" ”

Shu Manjin took Shu Manyu's hand and wiped her hands with a handkerchief: "Seeing that you haven't gone back for so long, I'm worried that you will make a difference, so come and take a look, if you are angry, go back quickly, there will be a banquet in a while, grandmother means, the banquet will be placed in the Linshui Pavilion, where the place is wide, and there are chrysanthemums around, and the most important thing is that the opposite side is the Spring Festival Terrace, just to be able to watch the play, you are not good at this time." ”

Shu Manyu pouted: "We are not here, just to make that little slut panic, she was the most timid and cowardly in the past, it was better to do something wrong......"

Shu Manjin frowned and interrupted her: "Have you forgotten what I said before?" No matter what you think in your heart, what comes out of this mouth can only be an honorific title! Besides, her old character, I told you, it was all faked! Now that the two of us are gone, if she curries favor with her grandmother, do you think her will still pamper you as before? ”

Shu Manyu's face changed, he took a deep breath, suppressed the boredom in his heart, and nodded: "What the second sister said is that I didn't think it through, so let's go back now, there are indispensable people around my grandmother." ”

Shu Manjin carefully observed her expression, reached out and poked the corner of her mouth, pushed it up, and then turned around and walked back with her.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, I heard someone laugh and said: "Old lady, we are all a group of elderly people here, and they are all members of our own family, so we don't need to shy away from it, I have heard that the eldest young master of the Shu family has a talent at a young age, but we have long wanted to meet, and now the eldest young master has filial piety, and specially sent a birthday gift over, and the old lady will also invite people in, so that we can all take a look." ”

Then the voice smiled again: "The old lady doesn't have to worry about suffering, let's take a look at the eldest young master, and let the old lady take a look at our family later, the old lady is blessed and long-lived, so that these juniors can be blessed." ”

Someone answered with a smile: "We people, we have wrinkles on our faces, at this age, we like to see young people the most, this room full of girls has seen it, you have to look at the handsome young man, old sister, don't you want to see it?" I heard that the second lang of the Meng family has the title of jade-faced Xiaolangjun. ”

"But the children in the school are fooling around, how can Mrs. Chen take it seriously?" Some people laughed and said, there are stacks of noisy people who want to see, there are people who laugh and joke and talk, and there is a lot of excitement inside.

Shu Manyu tugged at Shu Manjin's sleeve and looked inside, with a curious expression: "Second sister, what kind of family is that Meng family?" The Erlang of the Meng family is really good-looking? ”

Shu Manjin shook his head, pulled Shu Manyu into quietly and sat down beside Shu Manyao. Shu Manyao only glanced at the two sisters, then turned his head and continued to serve the old lady.

Shu Manyu's temperament almost couldn't hold back, but fortunately, Shu Manjin kept dragging her, so she didn't make a joke.

There were a lot of people who made a fuss, so the old lady asked people to put a screen in the house, and drove the little girls behind the screen, leaving only Shu Manyao and the three sisters, and then called Shu Zheming in. Shu Zheming stepped forward and saluted with a glance: "My grandson congratulates my grandmother on her birthday, and wishes my grandmother a long spring, a rare old man, the sun and the moon are prosperous, and the spring and autumn are not old." ”

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed, and did three kneels and nine bows, then got up, and then said: "My grandson has prepared a birthday gift for my grandmother, do you want to see it?" ”

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, there was a conversation with the old lady The old lady Chen smiled and said: "Zheming is so filial, the birthday gift he prepared must be good, the old sister quickly take it and let us people open our eyes." ”

Mrs. Shu is also a little proud, the biggest regret in her life is that she only gave birth to a son, and her son currently has only such a son-in-law, the heir of the Shu family, is too thin.

And what she is most proud of is that although she only has one son, her son is promising. Relying on his own ability, he won the imperial examination all of a sudden, and sat in the position of the prefect for nearly six years.

Although she has only one grandson, this grandson is also very promising, very good at a young age, intelligent, and filial, and good-looking, if there are no accidents in the future, he will definitely not be worse than his father.

So at this time, the old lady is actually very willing to show her grandson's filial piety. As soon as he was teased, he immediately responded, Shu Zheming immediately touched a long box from the hand of the maid next to him, opened it himself, and then motioned for the little maid to pull it on the side, and slowly opened the scroll inside.

Everyone couldn't help but get up and look, and then there was a burst of admiration.

Shu Manyao helped the old lady get up from the chair and walked to the scroll. Just one glance, I couldn't help but secretly applaud Shu Zheming's mind in my heart, the painting was actually not very valuable, but it was just right for the old lady's mind - Shu Zheming personally painted the lively scene of three generations enjoying chrysanthemums together.

Although the pen is still a little immature, it already has a slight style of painting, the layout is even more exquisite, the scene is lively, but it does not catch people's eyes. The whole painting is swept over at a glance, and it is harmonious.

The joy on the old lady's face couldn't be hidden, and she praised it again and again.

"Grandmother, although this painting is not valuable, this is a grandson's heart, and I hope that grandmother will not dislike it. In addition, the grandson also prepared another birthday gift for the grandmother. Shu Zheming was a little embarrassed, no matter how young and old he was, he couldn't get rid of the two words "teenager" in front of him, not to mention, Shu Zheming was only ten years old this year, and he couldn't even be considered a teenager.

The old lady, who had a rare smile in the past, couldn't close her mouth at this time, and nodded vigorously: "I like it, my grandmother likes this painting very much, my grandson spent a lot of effort to paint it, how could my grandmother not like it?" ”

Shu Zheming's face was slightly red, and he took out a few Buddhist scriptures from the box before: "This is a Buddhist scripture copied by my grandson himself, and it has been enshrined in the White Horse Temple for forty-nine days, and my grandmother can let my sisters read it to my grandmother in the future." ”

The old lady was even more happy, she didn't care whether the gifts were expensive or not, what she cared about was the hearts of her children and grandchildren. Of course, Shu Chengye's birthday gift to the old lady was sent early this morning, and he was so old that there was no need to stay here to compete with his son for favor.

Shu Zheming didn't go out again after he came in, and after showing his birthday gift, he stood respectfully behind the old lady. There are juniors who are close to others who come in to pay their respects, and at this time, it is the three Shu Manyao sisters, and they have to avoid behind the screen.

The first to come were Mrs. Wang's two sons, one twelve and the other eight. Because they also had dealings with the Wang family in the past, the Shu Manyao sisters had all met the two sons of the Wang family, and they didn't have any special curiosity.

Other families are the same, either the world brother or the world brother, and even go around in a circle, some of them are relatives.

The only thing that made Shu Manyao curious was Cao Jian, the eldest young master of the Cao family.

In her previous life, because she didn't find a female husband, her grandmother's birthday was not a big deal, but the family celebrated quietly behind closed doors. Therefore, this Cao family has never appeared.

And the grandmother's performance just now doesn't seem to have anything to do with this Cao family on weekdays. So, will the Cao family come to the door to pay a birthday greeting to the grandmother? and Second Mrs. Cao, if she is really a talented learner, then she is likely to be invited to be her husband, and she also expressed some curiosity about the people of the Cao family by the way.

"I wish the old lady a better life than Nanshan." Cao Jian said with a smile, among the group of teenagers who came in and out, Cao Jian was the oldest, a sixteen-year-old boy with a long body, handsome eyebrows, and a gentle and warm word and deed.

The screen that the old lady asked her to bring out was a special silk veil, and from the front you could see something on the other side, but from the back you could see nothing. Although this kind of silk yarn is precious, it is used for very ordinary purposes, such as the curtain of a carriage specially ordered by a large family, or the curtain on the window in the bedroom, and this kind of screen for shading.

At this time, the little girls couldn't wait to stick their heads on the screen, but Shu Manyao was slightly surprised - this Cao Jian, just looking at his appearance, was actually three points similar to Cao Wei. Especially those peach blossom eyes, they are exactly the same!

However, isn't Cao Wei from Fujian? What is the relationship between him and the Cao family?

Thinking of Cao Wei, Shu Manyao's heart instantly swelled with a bad breath, no matter how good-looking Cao Jianchang was, she looked a little hateful. Taking a deep breath and suppressing the hatred in his heart, Shu Manyao quietly retreated behind the people.

If Cao Wei and the Cao family have a relationship, then in the previous life, how could Cao Wei say that his parents died? Besides, he has lived in his own house for five years, and if he has relatives, it is impossible not to contact him for three or five years, right? Even if they want to avoid it, after they eloped, Cao Wei did not go to the Cao family, and in those ten years, Cao Wei did not have relatives to come to the door.

"Big sister, what are you thinking? Are you stunned by Jun Langjun? Just thinking about it, I heard Shu Manyu next to her say with a smile, Shu Manyao frowned slightly, glanced at it, and saw that several little girls also put their eyes on her.

"Third sister, who taught you this?" Shu Manyao stiffened his face, lowered his voice, and said in a very light tone: "Our daughter of the boudoir, how can you say such a thing?" Mother is busy with housekeeping on weekdays, and she shouldn't neglect to teach her third sister. Don't say the wrong thing, it's a joke. ”

Shu Manyu's face turned red, and she was about to speak when she opened her mouth, Shu Manjin hurriedly grabbed her, saluted Shu Manyao with a smile, approached Shu Manyao, and also lowered her voice, even the people next to her didn't hear it very clearly: "Don't be surprised, eldest sister, the third sister is just learning to speak, just now the ladies brought two sentences when they laughed, the third sister just learned, the eldest sister taught her, she will definitely have a heart, and ask the eldest sister to forgive her this time." ”

Shu Manyao nodded slightly and did not speak again.
