Chapter 68
Shu Manyao is not a child anymore, and his grandmother and eldest aunt don't understand what they mean. During the day, she placed her uncle's family, and at night Shu Manyao pondered by herself, now she is completely different from her previous life, and the road she has to take is also different, so the people she meets on the road must be different.
Yang Jianbai and Chen Hualiang, in her selfish heart, she is more inclined to Yang Jianbai. Because her mind has matured a lot in this life, looking at Chen Hualiang is like looking at her son. Although Yang Jianbai is not very old, she is stable and mature, and when she faces Yang Jianbai, she does not have the illusion of facing her juniors.
But aside from these, Chen Hualiang is more suitable than Yang Jianbai. First, the eldest aunt is a mother-in-law, she married into the Chen family, and she has an eldest uncle and an eldest aunt, not to mention that she has no worries in her life, and she will not suffer hardships. The Chen family has a simple population, Chen Jianming and Chen Jianye also separated early, Chen Hualiang and Chen Huashun are too different in age, she doesn't have to worry about any disputes in the family.
And the Yang family, although there is no in-law, but there is also a mother-in-law, the long room and the second room are not separated, and there is a title hanging there, Yang Jianbai has many cousins, each has its own thoughts, only the relationship between relatives, the Yang family is not as good as the Chen family.
In terms of the future, of course, with the experience of the previous life, Shu Manyao knew that Yang Jianbai would definitely come back alive from the war, but if he lost or won, this Shu Manyao couldn't be sure. It's just that if he wins, Yang Jianbai should be able to inherit the title of the Yang family, right? In his previous life, Yang Jianbai was not the prince.
And Chen Hualiang, although he is young, his knowledge is not bad, if he can pass the examination, he will not have to worry about his future in the future. Moreover, being young also has the advantage of being young, Yang Jianbai's temperament has already been settled, and coupled with the family situation, I am afraid that he will not be able to change it. And Chen Hualiang is still young, so he can be easily influenced.
"Girl?" Shu Manyao thought about it over and over again, and heard Xia Xi shouting beside the bed, Shu Manyao turned over again, facing the footsteps: "What's wrong?" ”
"Girl, I've sent a message to you today." Xia Xi lowered her voice and told Shu Manyao what she had just gotten: "Cao Wei is very suspicious, Ping An has taken so long, Cao Wei only has three points of trust in Ping An, and he still doesn't let Ping An interfere with the letters on weekdays." ”
Shu Manyao sighed: "I expected it a long time ago, but I didn't give up, so I just let Ping An try." "Who is Cao Wei? That man had never been a good-hearted man, he was cruel and vicious, how could he trust peace for the sake of peace, diligence and loyalty?
Moreover, he was planning to murder the Shu family, but Ping'an's deed of sale was in the Shu family, how could Cao Wei trust the Shu family's people? Even if it's a subordinate, he has to be on guard.
"However, Ping An also found out some news, he said that Cao Wei occasionally mentioned his wife, and it didn't look like he was cooperating with his wife." Xia Xi has been serving Shu Manyao for many years, and she also knows Shu Manyao's wariness of the Xu family, when Shu Manyao told her to pay attention to Cao Wei before, she still didn't understand, but now it is clear: "It's like Mrs. took Cao Wei's handle, Cao Wei always gritted his teeth whenever he mentioned Mrs. ”
Shu Manyao was silent and frowned, although she had guessed that Cao Wei and Xu were cooperating, she had always had a question - Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu were still young, and they were the easiest to be deceived, Cao Wei and the two sisters walked all the way, could it be that Xu didn't worry?
If Xu Shi held Cao Wei's handle in his hand, then this question could be solved. No wonder in the last life, Cao Wei had to drag her to death, obviously she was the eldest daughter of the Shu family, and she had a personal affair with Cao Wei, as long as Cao Wei had a heart, I am afraid that he would be able to coax his father, according to the old lady and his father's favor for him, the resources of the Shu family are not for Cao Wei to use?
It's just a marriage, and Cao Wei can't do it, so why do you have to elope with yourself? is the first time he was caught eloping, as long as Cao Wei admits his mistake, he has no reputation anyway, no one can marry except Cao Wei, as long as the Shu family covers up this matter, Cao Wei still has a great benefit?
Elopement sounds good, but Cao Wei, the Shu family's money, can't touch half of it, and Cao Wei, the Shu family's connections, can't touch half of it.
If Xu really pinched Cao Wei's handle, this handle would definitely not be small, and maybe it would be related to Cao Wei's net worth. Cao Wei's person loves money and power, and the only thing that can suppress these two is his life.
"Can Ping An inquire about Cao Wei's handle, is it pinched by the Xu family?" Shu Manyao figured it out, turned his head sideways and asked, Xia Xi shook his head, and remembered that the lights were turned off, and the girl couldn't see it, so she said softly: "Ping An can't get Cao Wei's words, the previous one was also guessed, and there is no evidence." ”
"Well, you went to see Ping'an, see what reward Ping'an wants, and when Cao Wei is solved, I will not treat him badly." Shu Manyao was silent for a while and said, Xia Xi responded.
The master and servant both had something in their hearts, and they tossed for a long time before they fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Shu Manyao went to greet the old lady, and the old lady took Shu Manyao's hand with a smile: "Come so early, I haven't seen you come too early on weekdays, are you worried about my good things here?" ”
Shu Manyao came to the old lady's side with a smile, and while combing the old lady's hair, she said: "I heard from Mother Li yesterday that my grandmother's small kitchen here needs porridge today, so I came over early in the morning and wanted to beg my grandmother to give me a bowl of porridge to eat." ”
The old lady smiled and gently pinched half of her cheek: "You ghost girl, when did grandmother get something good here and didn't have your share?" Besides, don't you always have breakfast at your grandmother's? But a bowl of shredded chicken porridge is worth it when you get up so early? ”
Shu Manyao only smiled and didn't speak, and when she finished combing her hair, the old lady pulled her to sit down beside her: "Our ancestors and grandchildren will also talk quietly today, your grandmother has always avoided you about your marriage." ”
Shu Manyao nodded, although this kind of thing is usually the words of the parents, but the family who loves the child must ask the child what he means. The old lady is not rigid at all, and her granddaughter will live with her grandson-in-law in the future.
"You have always been smart, and you must have understood what your grandmother said to your eldest aunt yesterday." The old lady continued, Shu Manyao nodded with a slightly red face: "I understand what my grandmother means, my cousin and I are the same age, and my uncle and aunt also love me, if I marry into the Chen family, I don't have to worry about being angry and wronged." ”
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Now it only depends on what you and Hua Liang mean, if you are also satisfied, while your eldest uncle is still recovering, let's settle this family matter first." ”
Shu Manyao didn't know that he was dissatisfied, and he compared it for most of the day last night, but he didn't come to any good conclusions. However, I couldn't tell the old lady about all kinds of measurements in my heart, so I had to pretend to be shy, and reached out to pinch the old lady's sleeve and turn it back.
The old lady only thought she was embarrassed to say, paused and said: "If you can't make up your mind now, let's see first, during this time, your eldest uncle and your eldest aunt must be very busy, and you take care of your cousin more, and often go to her to talk and do needlework or something." I heard your aunt say that your cousin used to be studying at home, so if you ask her what she likes, we will ask her a husband. ”
Shu Manyao smiled and nodded, and the old lady was still about to speak, so Jin Ling came in to report that the Xu family had come over. The old lady let people in, Xu took Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu to salute, and said with a smile: "I thought, Hua Liang is still young, he wants to participate in the Spring Festival, there is still a year to go, and it is not good to let the child be idle at home during this time, so I thought, please ask the master and Mr. Zheming to intercede, let Zheming and Hua Liang study together, the two brothers are in one place, there is a comparison in my heart, and I will work harder." ”
Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu surrounded Shu Manyao and asked: "Yesterday, I saw that my cousin likes sweet snacks very much, and I specially cooked this honey candy myself, and I don't know if my cousin likes it or not." Big sister, where are we going to play with my cousin later? ”
When the old lady reaches this age, she doesn't have to rely on her mother's family to stand in the Shu family or anything, but the Chen family is the old lady's maiden family after all, and Shu Manyao's future fate has not yet been completely decided, so she is very willing to pull the Chen family at this time: "Have you discussed this matter with Chengye?" ”
Xu's face changed, and he was a little embarrassed: "Yesterday, the old man came back and drank and talked with the eldest uncle of the Chen family in the outer courtyard, and stayed directly in the outer courtyard, and the daughter-in-law did not see the master." ”
The old lady nodded, saw that Xu's eyes were blue and black, frowned slightly, and didn't say anything more.
Then Aunt Wang brought her little brother to ask for peace, it was rare that Aunt Wang came later than Xu's, Xu's didn't say anything weird, but Shu Manyao was a little surprised, and Aunt Wang was worried, for fear that Xu's would make some trouble.
Then came the eldest aunt and Chen Xuerong, as well as Chen Huashun, who was held by the nurse, as soon as these people sat down, Shu Chengye and Chen Jianming came in with Shu Zheming and Chen Hualiang.
A group of people asked for peace, talked and talked, and it was orderly after a while. The old lady hurriedly pulled Shu Zheming and Chen Hualiang: "You are still young, when they drink, you just hide, look, you didn't sleep well this night, and the dark circles under your eyes came out, right?" After breakfast, you two don't have to rush to study, just go back to rest. Zheming, let Lao Tzu send someone to take a leave of absence with Mr., and Hua Liang doesn't have to rush to study first. ”
Shu Chengye pinched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my eldest brother and I are paying attention, I didn't let the two of them touch the wine, and their bodies are fine, but they slept late." I still have to go to study, otherwise I will lose a day's work in vain. When I was in the imperial examination with my eldest brother, I only slept for three hours in a row for half a month, and they were about the same age, and this hardship was not unbearable. The old lady glared at him, but she didn't refute it, the old lady never interfered in the education of her children. Although she loves her children and grandchildren, she will not spoil them.
