Chapter 4 Parents, Younger Sisters

As soon as Shu Manyao said this, not only the old lady, but even Xu Shi and Shu Manjin Shu Manyu couldn't help but look at her. This Shu family is up and down, who doesn't know that the eldest girl Shu Manyao is clumsy and stupid? The temperament is also the most soft, not to mention laughing, not even saying a word out loud.

Today's Shu Manyao is really strange.

The old lady reacted quickly, and the expression on her face did not change much, and she said most casually: "Drink less tea, it will be time for lunch in a while, drinking too much is not good for the spleen and stomach." ”

Shu Manyao hurriedly nodded: "Yes, granddaughters listen to grandmothers." After speaking, he really only took two sips of water and put down the teacup.

Xu Shi pinched the Buddha beads on his wrist and looked at the old lady with a smile: "Mother, is it okay for your daughter-in-law to stay and serve you today?" My daughter-in-law asked the big kitchen to make your favorite ketchup meatballs, can you try them? ”

After speaking, he looked at Shu Manyao very embarrassedly: "Speaking of the big kitchen, do I still have to accompany the big girl, did Xia Xi next to the big girl go to the big kitchen today?" That group of mothers-in-law snubbed Miss Xia Xi, I have already sent someone to deal with her, and I ask the eldest girl to forgive me. ”

From the moment the Xu family entered the door, he was always like this, and he was neither close nor distant to Shu Manyao on his face, but he was very polite and polite.

Shu Manyao hurriedly got up and saluted Xu's family: "Madam said that she was laughing, where is there an elder to give a junior daoqian?" Besides, it's not Madame's fault, it's Xia Xi's girl who doesn't do things properly, the big kitchen is already set, if everyone is like me, go and ask for this today, and tomorrow to ask for that, then the kitchen is not messy? Although the mother-in-law did not listen to her words, she was very reasonable, and asked me to say that the lady should not only not punish the mother-in-law, but also praise her. ”

Xu Shi smiled and nodded: "It's still the eldest girl who is reasonable, but the eldest girl is the master, and these people just have to serve the master well, no matter how many reasons there are, it is a fact that they neglect the master, and they still have to be punished." ”

"Madame is taught." Shu Manyao replied with a smile and turned his head to look at the old lady: "Grandmother, when will Daddy and Zheming come back?" My granddaughter was hungry. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard laughter outside: "Whose stomach is hungry?" ”

Then the curtain was lifted, and Shu Chengye, the master of the Shu family, entered the door with his hands behind his back. Shu Chengye is handsome, although he has passed, his face is white, his eyes are bright, and his temperament is elegant, at this time he entered the door with a smile on his face, Shu Manyao saw this familiar face, and almost didn't cry.

As soon as she returned to her soul, she couldn't help but want to meet her father. It's just that she can't figure out her situation, she doesn't know the specific time, and she doesn't know what happened before, so she doesn't dare to act rashly.

If she was found to be a resurrection, she would have been sent to the temple or burned to death. She finally started all over again, how could she easily lose her life?

Therefore, forcibly suppressing the thoughts in her heart, she insisted on sorting out the memories of her previous life and the memories of this life, and adjusted her emotions to ensure that she would not have any mistakes, so she went out of her own yard.

Ten days ago, because a county and town below was hit by a disaster, and it coincided with the collection of taxes by the imperial court, Shu Chengye was afraid that there would be a problem with the taxes of that county and town, so he personally went over to preside over it. So she has been sick for a few days, and the old lady has gone to see her a few times, and she is still in a coma, and she has not even seen her face.

"Dad, you're back." Shu Manyao showed a big smile, got up from the soft couch, and saluted Shu Chengye, Shu Chengye came over and rubbed her hair, and was about to speak, when her brows furrowed: "Why did you lose weight?" The face is not good, but sick? ”

Shu Manyao was a little embarrassed, pinched her sleeves and whispered: "I had a cold a few days ago, and I had a fever, but now I am better." Dad, have you suffered outside? I look at your face is not very good, the outside is not as good as the home, are you not resting well? ”

Shu Chengye is elegant, he pays the most attention to appearance, if he is not forced to do so, he will never let his appearance appear in front of people. But at this moment, Shu Manyao saw that Shu Chengye had stubble on his chin, and his clothes were not too neat.

Shu Chengye sighed: "Things outside, children's families, don't ask more, mother, let people set up lunch, I rushed all the way back, and I didn't even have time to use breakfast." ”

The old lady looked distressed and hurriedly ordered someone to set the meal. Xu stood behind the old lady and served, Shu Manyao picked a lot of Shu Chengye's favorite dishes and sandwiched them over, the old lady pretended to be dissatisfied: "This girl, just now she said that she wanted to honor me, but as soon as she saw you come back, she immediately forgot about me." ”

Shu Manyao was about to speak, when he heard Shu Manjin smile and said: "Grandmother, the eldest sister serves my father, then my third sister and I will serve my grandmother, grandmother, try this, it is very soft, it is very good for the spleen and stomach, you can see if you like it or not." ”

Shu Manyu smiled sideways and said, "Grandmother, this is made by the second sister herself." ”

"yes, then I'll have to try it." The old lady tasted it and nodded: "It's not bad, but the heat is still a little short, try it with a low heat next time." ”

The smile on Shu Manjin's face remained unchanged, and he nodded very teachablely: "Yes, my granddaughter will definitely pay attention next time." As he spoke, his eyes turned and fell on Shu Manyao: "What does the eldest sister want to eat?" I specially inquired, if people are sick, they like to eat something with a lighter taste, why don't you stew a bowl of soup for your eldest sister? ”

Shu Manyao glanced up at her, her face was slightly red, and she glanced at Shu Chengye again, before she said with a smile: "Don't bother the second sister, if the second sister is free, it is better to stew a bowl of fish soup for her father, who is working hard outside, and he has to make up for it when he comes back." ”

Shu Chengye coughed lightly: "Eat well, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it after dinner." ”

Shu Manyu's open mouth had to be closed again, and Shu Manyao didn't speak, only lowered his head and pulled the rice in the bowl. It's just that she had a small appetite before, and now although she has recovered from the disease, her appetite has not improved, so she only ate half a bowl and her stomach was full.

It's just that the elders didn't put the chopsticks, and she couldn't get off the table, so she sandwiched the fish, carefully picked the fish bones, and sent them to the old lady in the bowl. The old lady glanced at her and did not refuse, Shu Manyao smiled and continued to provoke.

After the meal, the old lady took Shu Chengye back to freshen up and rest, but left Shu Zheming by her side to speak: "How are you doing in the academy?" How do you get along with your classmates? Have you made any friends? ”

Shu Zheming has been taken by Shu Chengye since he was five years old, he is very serious and serious at a young age, sitting under the old lady, the little short legs are still not touching the ground, his hands are placed on his knees in a regular manner, his chest is raised, and he replied with a straight look: "Back to my grandmother, the rules in the college are similar to those at home, three meals a day are also very rich, the people in the school are very easy to get along with, Mr. is very knowledgeable, there is a man named Zhong Ming, I heard that every monthly exam is the first, and my grandson thinks that this person can be handed." There is also a person named Wang Yunting, who is very enthusiastic about people, and this person can also be friends. ”

"As long as the character is good." The old lady was very pleased, and reached out and touched her grandson's head: "Whose children are these Zhong Ming and Wang Yunting?" ”

Shu Zheming was rarely confused: "Zhong Ming didn't mention his life experience, Wang Yunting is like the eldest son of Wang Tongzhi Wang." ”

"Have you ever told your father about this?" The old lady asked softly, and Shu Zheming nodded: "I told my father, but my father didn't say anything." ”

"Then you can rest assured that you will associate with them." The old lady smiled, and after Shu Zheming responded, she asked people to come in with a lot of things, and picked out a few things by hand: "My grandson went to the street with my classmates, bought a few things for my grandmother and mother, and a few sisters, younger brothers and sisters, grandmother, this is for you, do you like it?" ”

Shu Manyao followed and looked at it twice, it was a string of Buddhist beads, not carved from precious wood, but it was fresh and exquisite, and the color was bright. The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, and Shu Manyao understood at a glance that this was an expression that was only made when she was very happy.

"Eldest sister, this is for you." Shu Zheming handed over another thing, Shu Manyao reached out and took it, it was a very beautiful peach wood bracelet, one finger wide, with a flying fairy carved on it, with a small eye on one side, decorated with pink pearl beads, which was quite chic.

"Xiexie Zheming." Shu Manyao said with a smile, immediately put the bracelet on, and showed it to the old lady with a smile: "Grandmother, look, is it good-looking?" Brother Zheming's vision is really good. ”

The old lady praised two sentences, and asked Shu Zheming what he did every day, where he learned his homework, and then made a straight face: "You are in the school, you must not stand upright, you are going to study, not to show off your identity, besides, your father's official position is not high, you need to know that there is a sky outside the sky, what is the matter, don't be impulsive, don't think about it before doing it, you know?" ”

When the old lady said the first sentence, Shu Zheming hurriedly jumped off the stool and stood there in a proper manner. After the old lady finished speaking, she hurriedly saluted again: "Yes, my grandson should remember my grandmother's lesson." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, go and say hello to your mother, and go to your grandmother's place for dinner in the evening, and your grandmother will let you cook the meals you like to eat, as well as snacks." ”

"Yes, then the grandson will retire first." Shu Zheming saluted solemnly, and saluted Shu Manyao, who was sitting on the side: "Eldest sister, my younger brother has said goodbye first, and I will come to visit my eldest sister in the afternoon." ”

Waiting for Shu Zheming to leave, the old lady looked at Shu Manyao again: "Your body is just right, and you are still empty, go back and rest." ”

Things are not in a hurry, and he can't eat a fat man in one bite, so Shu Manyao got up with a smile and retired. The old lady squinted and leaned on the cushion, and after a while, she called Jin Zhu: "You go and inquire, what happened to the eldest girl in the past two days." ”

How can this person's temperament be said to have changed?
