Chapter 69
After breakfast, it was time to go out, Bai Wanwan's mother's family was also in the capital, Chen Jianming took their mother and son to Chen's house yesterday, and now I have to visit Bai's house. The one who should be in charge also went to take care of things, and the Xu family finally grabbed the housekeeping power in his hands, and he would not let go easily, and as soon as he had breakfast, he used the excuse of teaching Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu to leave.
Only the old lady and Shu Manyao were left, and the grandparents and grandchildren talked together for a while, and Shu Manyao took the Buddhist scriptures and read them to the old lady.
After reading for half an hour, seeing that the old lady closed her eyes again, Shu Manyao hurriedly asked someone to bring a blanket and cover the old lady. Jin Ling came up and lowered her voice and said, "Big girl, Aunt Wang's flower bell is here, saying that the little young master is making trouble and wants to see the big girl, if the big girl is fine, please ask the big girl to sit over there." β
Shu Manyao nodded: "You are taking care of your grandmother here, the weather is still a little cold, you can't let your grandmother lie down for too long, and you will call your grandmother up after a while." β
When Jin Ling responded, Shu Manyao took Xia Xi to Aunt Wang's yard. Aunt Wang waved away the maids, hugged the little brother and smiled: "What does the girl mean when she brings it over today?" β
"I know that my aunt doesn't want much, but do you think that if you don't want anything, the Xu family will let you go?" Shu Manyao squeezed the little brother's hand and asked with a smile: "If my aunt is really so naΓ―ve, I am afraid that she will not put all the things sent by the Xu family on the shelf." β
Aunt Wang pursed her lips and asked after a while, "What good ideas does the eldest girl have?" β
After a pause, he said: "Big girl, I won't do anything that goes against heaven and harmony, just to pray for my little brother, there are some things that I will never touch." Besides, if the lady has a case, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome. β
Shu Chengye is not very old, in his thirties, he is in the prime of life, once the Xu family dies, with the old lady's disgust with the Xu family, and the thinness of the Shu family's heirs, Shu Chengye will definitely continue the strings, who knows what kind of person will enter the door in the future. It's not as good as the current Xu family, at least, Aunt Wang already knows some about the Xu family.
The Xu family is afraid that she will not be able to regenerate, if Shu Chengye marries a bride and has a son-in-law, her status as a little brother will be even more difficult in the Shu family. Now, except for one Shu Zheming, the Shu family is such a boy.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will never touch this life-threatening thing, and I'm not tired of it." Shu Manyao said with a smile: "Grandmother is old, and my aunt still has to take care of her younger brother, and she must not have an accident." β
Aunt Wang blinked, a little incomprehensible, Shu Manyao smiled and stuffed her fingers into the palm of the little brother, and the little brother immediately held it tightly and couldn't pull it out.
"Auntie, in your life, you only plan to have a child like my little brother?" Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Aunt Wang and asked, Aunt Wang was a little surprised. Shu Manyao continued to ask: "With Xu's temperament, if my aunt has another boy, will she be able to tolerate my little brother and aunt?" β
Aunt Wang still didn't understand, this big girl was saying that the existence of the Xu family would pose a threat to her, and the implication was that it would be good to have no Xu family, but just now she clearly said that she would not harm the Xu family's life, what is the big girl's plan?
"Auntie, what we have to do is that the Xu family has no place to speak in the Shu family anymore." Shu Manyao said with a smile, people can die for a hundred, in this world, she will not let Xu's life be so good, she wants Xu's to take a step and fall, her nose is blue and her face is swollen, all her plans are in vain, and then she watches the person she likes the most to live a good life.
"The eldest girl wants to take away the stewardship of the lady?" Aunt Wang asked, Shu Manyao shook her head: "I will marry sooner or later, and this stewardship, whether it is in my hands or not, actually makes little difference." β
Aunt Wang was even more confused, and Shu Manyao said unhurriedly: "Zheming is now twelve years old, and in three or four years, he will be able to get engaged." My grandmother is healthy, and if she wants to take care of the house, she can hold it up for three or four years. β
Aunt Wang suddenly realized, speaking of which, it is still a matter of stewardship.
"All I need is two years." Shu Manyao stretched out his finger, two years was enough to clean up Cao Wei, and by the way, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu sisters were pulled into the pit.
"Is there anything the big girl wants me to do?" Aunt Wang was silent for a long time, then she raised her head and asked, Shu Manyao glanced at the little brother, Aunt Wang's face changed, and she immediately shook her head: "Big girl, no, no matter what, I can't take the little brother to adventure." β
"Auntie, I won't let my little brother take the risk." Shu Manyao smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the little brother in his arms, and gently scratched the little brother's chin, the little brother has a good temperament, and he doesn't like to cry much since he was born.
Shu Manyao was also full of joy in her heart, hugged her little brother and kissed her a few times, and then turned her head to Aunt Wang and said: "Auntie, I am different from Xu, no matter how much I hate Xu, I hate Xu, I don't want to be the same person as her." She was able to attack a child without shame back then, and she lost her conscience, but I would not violate my principles, I always wanted to be a good person. β
Even if he really did something, he was also forced by Xu Shi and Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu. Moreover, all the revenge she did was against the Xu mother and daughter, and she would never attack innocent people.
Aunt Wang's face was relaxed, but she didn't understand what Shu Manyao was going to do, so she only looked at Shu Manyao suspiciously, and Shu Manyao smiled: "Auntie, didn't the Xu family send a lot of things to the little brother?" β
"Are you going to frame Madame with those things?" Aunt Wang asked suspiciously, but then shook her head: "Big girl, I'm afraid this idea won't work, when the Xu family sends things over, he never avoids people, every time he invites Mother Yao from the old lady's yard to come over, and when she takes it, it is clean, but there is a problem at this time, and the old lady will definitely not believe it." β
"Everything is clean when it arrives, but what if two or three things are put together, it's not clean?" Shu Manyao said with a smile, she knew that sometimes, one fragrance is fine, but two different fragrances mixed together, maybe it will become a deadly poison.
"Xu's delivery has been going on for two months." Shu Manyao shook the little chubby dun, the little chubby dun smiled and grabbed the earrings on Shu Manyao's ears, Shu Manyao leaned back: "The first time I sent it, Zuihou sent it once, the interval between this is not short, Yao's mother can make sure that the things sent for the first time are okay, and she can make sure that the things sent by Zuihou once are okay, but after a long time, she can remember the first time she sent it and this Zuihou sent it once, is there a problem with putting it together?" β
Aunt Wang thought for a while, and immediately said: "The first time Madame sent a special product from Jiangnan, there are a few children's things, all made of bamboo, and there is a bamboo aroma. Recently, I sent some fabrics, but this one has no fragrance. β
Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "There are many medicinal herbs, but they don't have any fragrance." β
Aunt Wang was shocked, her face turned pale, although she was born in the Wang family, but she lived a life no different from ordinary people. In addition, her father did not take a concubine in his life, and he passed away early, she is a girl's family, no matter how strong she is to support the family, she just does more embroidery work, sewing and mending to earn a few. is to understand the rights and wrongs of this mansion, never dare to use the things given by others, the most dangerous thing I have ever encountered is just Xu Shi squeezing her a few words from the old lady.
What's more, this matter is implicated in her precious life.
It's just that after Aunt Wang was frightened, her eyes changed a little when she looked at Shu Manyao, the eldest girl knew a lot about this, I am afraid that she was persecuted by the Xu family in previous years, right? It's really pitiful, motherless child, it's really too difficult, I can't let my baby fall to this point.
"My aunt is a smart person, and I don't need to teach me what to do." Shu Manyao smiled and handed the little fat dun to Aunt Wang: "It's just that Aunt Wang needs to know that Xu has always been a smart person, if she hadn't provoked her, she wouldn't have lost her mind and made mistakes, so Aunt Wang has to be cautious." β
After finishing speaking, she was about to get up, but Aunt Wang was just about to get up, and suddenly reacted, no, it was obviously the eldest girl who wanted to calculate the Xu family, how could she say this, but it was the eldest girl who came up with the idea and was responsible for the implementation? In case of failure, who will carry this black cauldron?
"Big girl, weishenme is me?" Seeing that Shu Manyao was about to walk out of the door, Aunt Wang hurriedly shouted to stop her, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Big girl, this matter, I'm afraid it's a concubine ......."
"Auntie doesn't have to rush to shirk, the reason why I am looking for my aunt is to divert Xu's attention. As I said, my aunt and I only cooperated because we wanted to protect one person in common. Shu Manyao turned around, still with a smile on his face: "I also said, the Xu family is not so easy to knock down, and I don't have much time, let the Xu family settle down earlier, and I will be able to get out earlier." β
So, he is actually the one who caused Xu's anger on the surface?
Aunt Wang looked at Shu Manyao in a daze, and it took a long time before she frowned and shook her head: "Big girl, you also said it, we are just collaborators......"
Therefore, the trust between two people is actually not too much. If Shu Manyao doesn't explain her strategy, I'm afraid that Aunt Wang won't do it easily, after all, Aunt Wang now has someone to protect, she will never let herself fall into a dangerous situation, compared with before, that kind of decisiveness is almost gone.
In the past, when Aunt Wang went to ask the old lady to say goodbye, she was targeted by the Xu family a lot, and she would refute a few words openly and secretly. Now what the Xu family says, Aunt Wang will treat it as if she didn't hear it.
"Auntie knows that Cao Wei in the front yard, right?" After thinking about it, Shu Manyao walked back and sat down opposite Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang nodded: "It is said that Cao Wei's literary style is very extraordinary, and the master will occasionally praise his calligraphy and painting skills." "I suspect that Xu Shi took advantage of Cao Wei's shortcomings and put Cao Wei in front of me, but maybe it was aimed at you. , for other things, it's a lot of affection or more new and faster" Although Cao Wei and Wang are several years apart, the difference is not too much. Aunt Wang's eyes widened and she was surprised: "Madam is not so stupid, is she?" "The backyard of the Shu family, where is a man,
