Chapter 24: Xu's Frustration

Back to the front, the guests were almost there. All the girls are going to the front to see the elders, Shu Manyao and Shu Manjin Shu Manyu sisters stood behind Xu, and they were also led to meet many people.

However, many people have seen Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu early, and Xu focuses on introducing, only Shu Manyao is one.

"This is the eldest girl of the Shu family, right? It's so good-looking. A lady said with a smile, reached out and took off a bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it to Shu Manyao: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I am becoming more and more clever, Mrs. Shu is really lucky, there are so many daughters who are like flowers." ”

Xu hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs. Chen has won the award, but she is just a child, but Mrs. Chen is a good blessing, Miss Chen is not only beautiful, but also very kind, and has found a good husband, Mrs. Chen will enjoy the blessings of her daughter in the future." ”

Someone next to him was a little puzzled when he saw what they said happily: "What is the origin of this Shu girl?" In the past two years, Mrs. Shu went out, didn't she only take Miss Shu and Miss Shu San? I thought that Miss Shu was a concubine. ”

"Shhh The person who was asked chuckled: "Miss Shu is the eldest daughter of the Shu family, and Mrs. Shu at this time is just a stepfamily." Miss Shu didn't go out for two years, and Mrs. Shu said that she was not in good health and couldn't go out to blow the wind. ”

"Not in good shape?" The questioner was a little surprised, and looked at Shu Manyao carefully, and only asked in confusion after half a sound: "Can't it?" I saw that although Miss Shu was a little thin, her face was ruddy, her cheeks were plump, her eyebrows were dark and thick, and her lips were very upright. ”

The person who was asked scoffed: "Can you see the problem?" This Xu family is just a stepfamily, and he gave birth to two daughters, how can he not plan for his two daughters? Who knows what the eldest girl of the Shu family was in those two years and couldn't go out. ”

Someone snorted twice, very interested to come over: "Speaking of the eldest girl of the Shu family, it may be that she is really not in good health, some time ago, I went to visit the Shu family, and the Shu family is asking for a doctor for the eldest girl, saying that it has been a fever for five or six days, and if the fever does not go away, people will be in danger, and the old lady of the Shu family has to take care of the eldest girl every day, and she doesn't even have time to see guests." ”

The lady who asked was suddenly surprised: "Really? ”

The person who interjected pursed his lips and nodded very firmly: "Then can it be fake?" Mrs. Shu, you know, right? A few years ago, I was also a very hospitable person, from time to time I took my granddaughters out to enjoy the flowers and incense, but in the first two years, I also followed the door not to go out of the second door, I asked to know that the old lady felt sorry for the eldest granddaughter, and she must pray for the eldest girl every day, and she only ......ate vegetarian food for two meals in the morning and evening."

"What nonsense." Someone else said next to him, and the person who spoke turned his head and smiled wryly: "Mrs. Wang......"

"The reason why the old lady of the Shu family doesn't like to go out anymore is because she has handed over all the affairs of the family to Mrs. Shu to take care of. These things for socializing have their own Mrs. Shu to do. The old lady is a vegetarian, just to pray for the safety of Master Shu, you say that the eldest girl is not in good health, that is even more nonsense, some time ago, the old lady of the Shu family was on her birthday, didn't you go too? Miss Shu has been with the old lady all day, talking and playing, if her body is not good, can she hold it? ”

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and glanced at the person who spoke before: "These words, only some people will believe them." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and beckoned to the other side: "Man Yao, come here." ”

Shu Manyao hurriedly came over, although she didn't know that Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang Weishenme were so good to her, but for the sake of Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang speaking for her three times and twice, she was willing to be close to their mother and daughter.

"Aunt Wang." Shu Manyao smiled and saluted, and Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and pulled her to stand beside her: "During this time, you have been at home with your grandmother again?" ”

"It's not just about my grandmother." Shu Manyao said embarrassedly: "Dad and grandmother invited Mr. for me, and I was learning to paint with Mrs. Miao during this time, so I didn't go out much." ”

Mrs. Wang suddenly realized: "I almost forgot about this, where have I learned now?" ”

"I just learned color matching yesterday." Shu Manyao turned her head and glanced at Miss Wang, her face was slightly red: "Compared with Sister Wang, it is still far behind, I have just started learning now, what will I not know in the future, I have to go to Sister Wang for help." ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Your sister Wang only knows how to go to the skin, if you are idle on weekdays, just go to play with her, didn't you teach her a kind of jumping rope some time ago?" She's having fun during this time, but she's just a girl at home, and she's not having fun, so it's more fun for the two of you to be together. ”

Someone immediately diverted the topic: "Zipline? What is that? ”

"It's to let two maids, one of them grab one end of the rope, up and down, back and forth, and then let people jump over from it, I played once, only played for a stick of incense time, and I was tired and out of breath." Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I don't know where their little girl's family came from, that time Man Yao and our family Shumin were half an hour late." ”

Shu Manyao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she had thought that Xu might use the problem of her body to make trouble, this Mrs. Zuo and Xu are good friends, and Xu must be able to find someone to speak for her in this group of ladies.

After all, there are some things that others can say, but Xu can't.

Similarly, Shu Manyao himself can't say it. She can't just go up and grab someone and say that my body is very haode, right? Therefore, the Xu family found someone to open her mouth for her, and Shu Manyao could only find someone to defend her.

But in this Zuo family, who can Shu Manyao know? She hasn't been out for two years, that is, on her grandmother's birthday, she has met a lot of people with her grandmother, who will stand up for her for no reason?

Before, she tried her best to talk with Miss Wang and Miss Li, just to get a glimpse of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li's character. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang really behaved the same as her, and she had a good impression of herself.

And Mrs. Li, even if she didn't help a lot, she still lent a hand.

"When you say that, I want to see the game." Mrs. Li said with a smile, Shu Manyao only kept a smile on one side, and this kind of thing is only popular among ordinary people. The girl from the big family is no longer like the Tang Dynasty, let alone playing horses and parading the streets, even if she goes out alone, she is not allowed. 、

In the past few years, it has become popular to wrap small feet, and it has become a problem to walk, let alone run and jump.

Shu Manyao lived a lifetime longer, and then he realized that no matter what graceful posture and beautiful body shape, it is not as important as physical health. It just so happens that she doesn't have her feet tied, so it's just right to jump on the rope at home.

"Is zipline jumping really fun?" Li Yingying was on the side, full of curiosity and asked, "Shumin, Man Yao, why don't we go outside for a while?" ”

"Don't mess around." Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and pulled Li Yingying: "It's time to eat in a while, and you can go play after lunch." ”

"Aunt Li, you can't play with this after lunch just now." Shu Manyao said with a smile: "I will have a stomachache, I will have a stomachache, I can only play before eating, or after eating, I will rest for half an hour before playing." ”

Li Yingying is really curious, Mrs. Li is also very fond of this daughter, and there are also people next to her who are very curious, and after saying a few words, some people say that they want to go and see how to play first. The only ones who stepped forward to signal in person could only be Wang Shumin and Shu Manyao.

Anyway, all the people present are elders, and they are not afraid of being told to perform or something.

"In this way, this zipline is really laborious." After looking at it for a while, a woman smiled and said, Mrs. Wang nodded: "That's true, but it's very simple, the child is running and jumping, and the body is healthier." ”

Xu and Mrs. Zuo stood side by side, Mrs. Zuo looked at it for a while, then turned her head to look at Xu: "You, your stepdaughter, are quite scheming, it's hard for her to invite Mrs. Wang to speak for her." ”

"It's also my fault, I didn't notice that someone would talk about her bad health." With some self-reproach on Xu's face, Mrs. Zuo shook her head and sighed: "You, you are so kind, you treat her as your own daughter, do you know what she sees you as?" ”

Xu's face turned pale, his face flashed with sadness, he pursed his lips and said: "I know that Sister Zuo is for my good, but after all, she has no mother, and it is understandable that she is more guarded, and besides, I just have a clear conscience, what does she think, and what does it have to do with me?" ”

Mrs. Zuo hated iron a little, and reached out and nodded her forehead: "You! But she couldn't say what she wanted to say, she had already said what she had to say. Besides, it's just a little girl, even if she has some scheming, how far can she go?

"You can do it yourself, I won't worry about this for you anymore." Mrs. Zuo said angrily, Xu Shi hurriedly smiled: "Sister Zuo can't say that, for so many years, it was Sister Zuo who helped me make up my mind, if Sister Zuo stopped caring about me, I wouldn't have a good life." ”

After saying a few words, Mrs. Zuo smiled and said, "The edict of the imperial court has come down?" ”

"Not yet, it's going to be February at the earliest." Xu Shi shook his head with a smile: "It's just that the old lady is old, what our lord means is to return to Beijing as soon as possible, I'm afraid I will have to stay in the capital in the future." ”

People pay attention to the roots, the old lady is old, maybe there will be a case one day, the ancestral house of the Shu family is in the capital, and the ancestral hall is also in the capital, so Shu Chengye has planned it early, no matter what, he must return to Beijing next year.

"Manjin and Manyu's family affairs, do you have a plan in mind?" Mrs. Zuo paused and asked, Xu shook her head: "They are still young, so they are not in a hurry. Moreover, Man Yao is old, and as the eldest sister, she has to be busy with Man Yao's affairs first. ”

Mrs. Zuo sneered: "If you want me to say, your old lady is an eccentric, but just a girl, is it worth tossing like this?" I look at Manjin's child, steady and dignified, I don't know whose kid he wants to be cheaper in the future. ”
