Chapter 144: Mrs. Shen assists

Shen Jiajue went to Shen Jiachen's study before breakfast, and when he saw him holding a gold wire plate buckle in his hand, he couldn't help laughing: "The clothes are all thrown away, but the buttons have always been kept, but what's the meaning of just looking at a button, no matter how much you look at things and think about people, it's better to see real people." ”

Shen Jiachen put away the buttons when he heard this, got up and straightened his robe and went out: "You didn't stare at a purse last night for most of the night, so let's not talk about anyone." ”

Shen Jiajue sighed with a bitter face: "Hey, I want to go to the General's Mansion to see the real person, but General Shi has been very busy recently, and it's not easy to bother, if you want to invite Xiang Yuan into the mansion, I really thought about it last night and didn't think of a good reason for most of the night." ”

He turned his head sideways to look at Shen Jiachen: "You have the most ideas on weekdays, so you don't want to meet Miss Lu?" ”

Shen Jiachen paused and continued to walk forward, and after seeing that Shen Jiajue was still lagging behind, he shouted: "It's not that you said that you want to accompany your mother to breakfast, you shouldn't be faster." ”

He also wanted to see Lu Jiuzhi, but he didn't know what happened after he got drunk that day? Did Mrs. Lu scold her afterwards? Shen Jiachen wanted to know too much, but after thinking about it, he didn't come up with any way in the end.

Shen's mother sat down in the dining room and saw that her two sons were not in the right mood today, but they didn't take the initiative to say, so Shen's mother didn't ask, but only beckoned the two sons to breakfast.

Shen Jiajue drank a bowl of mung bean porridge, but still couldn't help but ask: "Why haven't the eldest sister and younger sister come back recently, and sure enough, it's the water spilled by the married daughter." ”

"Shut up, how can you say this as a brother, be careful that your eldest sister comes back to uncover your skin!" Mother Shen scolded lightly.

Shen Jiajue bit the quicksand bag and didn't speak, but glanced at Shen Jiachen, and the other party quickly answered: "Big brother just wants to be the eldest sister and Jiahe, don't be angry, mother, they haven't come back for a while, it's better for mother to make a post and ask them to come back for two days." ”

The sun really came out in the west, the two brothers did not quarrel early in the morning, but helped each other to talk, Shen's mother glanced at them, and said without moving: "Shi Xiangjie and King Xian have been busy in the barracks recently, and as wives, they naturally want to put their husband's family first in everything, call them back at this time, do you two want me to be poked and scolded by my in-laws?" ”

Shen Jiachen sighed in his heart, knowing that this road was impassable, and now he made his mother angry, so he hurriedly apologized: "It's the child's inconsiderate thought, please don't blame the mother." ”

Shen Jiajue immediately collapsed her face, and even the quicksand bag in her mouth lost the taste of the past, Shen's mother saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, thinking that her sister and sister were fake, and thinking that someone else's sister was real.

When Shen's mother finished breakfast, she went to lie down on the soft floor in the inner room to rest, and the big girl Qinghe on the side made tea and was bringing it over: "Madame uses tea." ”

Shen's mother took the teacup, glanced out through the door and window, the two sons who had just said goodbye were now long gone, she took a sip of tea and handed the teacup back: "Do you see it?" The two of them felt as if they had lost their souls. ”

Qinghe took the teacup and handed it to the little maid behind him, and spontaneously stepped forward to beat Shen's mother's legs: "You and the master postponed the marriage, although the two young masters can understand, they are probably still a little anxious in their hearts." ”

Seeing that he was about to marry a beautiful girl, but because of a war, the marriage was delayed, and the most important thing was to know when this move would end, the sons were anxious, and Shen's mother could understand.

In the past, the two daughters also helped to ask the two girls to come to the house from time to time, giving them the opportunity to meet, which could somewhat alleviate the pain of lovesickness, but now they are busy, and they can't even meet occasionally.

Shen's mother turned her mind, and it seemed that the pain of these two sons had to be relieved by her, a mother, so she instructed Qinghe: "Go and get the post, I want to invite the girls of the Lu family and the Shi family to come to the house as guests." ”

Qinghe pursed his lips and smiled: "Madame is really thinking about the two young masters, and the slave will go and get it." ”

The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are in-laws, and the relationship is naturally familiar, Shi's mother read the post sent by the porter, and immediately asked the little girl to go back to talk to Shen's mother, and said that the people would go over after lunch.

Then he instructed the maid next to him: "You go and inform the young lady to prepare, and then let the kitchen prepare some pastries and take them to the prime minister's house in the afternoon." ”

The same post was sent to Lu's house, but Lu's mother was a little hesitant after reading it, Shen Jiahe posted before, Lu's mother only thought that the girls were having fun together, and she didn't take it seriously, but now that the elders have made a post, what is the meaning of this, you have to think about it more.

"What do you mean when you say that Mrs. Xiangye invited Jiuzhi over? If you want to say that they have already decided to see each other, it will be too late to see each other, but how could this good person suddenly invite Jiuzhi to come over as a guest? Lu Mu couldn't figure it out, so she didn't dare to make a decision at will for a while.

However, Lu Shangshu didn't care about this at all, but when he saw that his wife was worried, he proposed: "If you are not at ease, send someone to the Shi family to have a look, and let the girl of the Shi family accompany Jiuzhi together, maybe it is a whim of Mrs. Shen, you don't have to think too complicated." ”

Lu's mother was not at ease, so she really sent a little girl to the general's mansion for a trip, and after learning that the Shi family had also received the post, she put down her worries.

"Mrs. Shen invited you to come to the house as a guest, but you can't be the same as usual, and you should wear plain clothes." Mother Lu instructed one by one in Lu Jiuzhi's room, "And this time you can't pass empty-handed, you haven't done needlework these days, and you can pick a handkerchief or sachet for Mrs. Shen." ”

Lu Jiuzhi's nurse asked, "Wouldn't it be too casual?" ”

"It's just casual," Lu Mu had already calculated, "She suddenly invited Jiuzhi to come over as a guest, if we make it grand, it won't be good, but in the end, it is also the first time to meet the appointment of the future mother-in-law, and it will not work empty-handed." ”

After lunch, the carriages of the two families went out one after the other, the distance was different, but they happened to arrive at the gate of the Xiangfu together, Shi Xiangyuan got out of the carriage and went to take Lu Jiuzhi's hand: "We are really in time." ”

Lu Jiuzhi took a look at the other party's clothes, which were very different from the style in the past, and couldn't help but smile: "Did you dress up specifically to see Mrs. Shen?" ”

"It's not my mother who asked me to wear this," Shi Xiangyuan was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I haven't seen what Mrs. Shen looks like, I'm such a character, and I can't change anything with a single dress." ”

The two of them were already led in by the housekeeper while talking, and Qinghe brought a few little maids to greet them, and took them all the way to Shen's mother's room.

"Say hello to Mrs. Shen." The two saluted Shen's mother together.

Lu Jiuzhi summoned the red sleeves beside him and sent a handkerchief he had picked up earlier: "This is what Jiuzhi was embroidering two days ago, please don't dislike Mrs. Shen." ”

Mother Shen accepted the gift and picked up the handkerchief to take a closer look: "Jiuzhi's embroidery is really good, better than my eldest daughter's craftsmanship, and my aunt likes it very much." ”

Shi Xiangyuan couldn't help but sigh: "With Zhuyu in front, it's not good to take out mine." ”

Mother Shen snorted and laughed: "You ghost spirit, you brought something to my aunt for me to see, why I'm embarrassed to take it out." ”

Shi Xiangyuan sent the pastries and explained: "Xiang Yuan is borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, all of them are prepared by his mother, so naturally he doesn't have Jiuzhi's intentions." ”

Shen's mother smiled and asked Qinghe to accept it: "It's all good, when I go back, just thank your mother for me." ”

A few people talked and laughed for a while, and Shen's mother excused herself to be a little tired and wanted to rest for a while, and let the two out.

Shen Jiachen and the others got the news of Qinghe early in the morning, and at this time they were waiting outside the door with their necks stretched, and after seeing that people finally came out, they didn't care that Qinghe was still on the side, so they hurriedly greeted them and took the hands of other girls.

Qinghe smiled and blessed the two young masters: "Madame ordered, please ask the two young masters to greet the two girls well, and when the lady wakes up from a nap, please invite the two girls to come over and talk." ”

After the two of them got down, Qinghe returned to the back room to talk to Shen's mother: "The two young masters have gone back with the girls, and the lady will sleep for a while." ”

Mother Shen shook her head with a smile: "I really had to worry about it when I was young, and I had to worry about it when I was about to marry my daughter-in-law." ”

The four of them separated after staying together for a while, Lu Jiuzhi followed Shen Jiachen to his study, and when he saw the button he put on the bookcase, he was a little strange: "Why didn't you let the maid sew this button for you?" ”

Shen Jiachen pulled her to sit down in his arms, got a red thread out of nowhere, wrapped the buckle, and then tied it to Lu Jiuzhi's wrist: "Token of love." ”

Lu Jiuzhi couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "What is this, are you always reminding me to break one of your clothes?" ”

Shen Jiachen held her hands in the palm of his hand: "But I think it's cheaper, so I want to give you a gold to wear in the Treasure Pavilion like this." ”

Lu Jiuzhi looked at him sideways, and saw that there was no joke in his eyes, and he was indeed discussing this matter with him seriously, and couldn't help but smile: "That's it," she shook her wrist, "It should be a unique token of love in this world." ”

Shen Jiachen hugged the person a little tighter, and didn't dare to make any other moves, so he could only ask something else: "After that day, did your aunt blame you?" ”

That? Lu Jiuzhi's face turned red, she was not drunk and completely irrational, the memory of her forced kiss to Shen Jiachen was still clearly left in her mind, and her face instantly turned crimson when she was mentioned at this time: "No, I'm drunk, it's too late for my mother to feel sorry for me." ”

Shen Jiachen played with her slender fingers and snorted: "Don't drink in the future." ”

After thinking about it, he added, "Of course, the wine doesn't count." It made Lu Jiuzhi blush again.

The other two went to the back garden, the two sat together and talked for a long time, and they had nothing to do for a while, so Shen Jiajue took Shi Xiangyuan to the pond to feed the koi.

Shi Xiangyuan sprinkled a handful of fish food: "Aunt invited us over this time, did you tell her something." ”

Shen Jiajue nodded, and the clear-eyed person knew at a glance that her mother was the one who invited the two of them: "If you want to come over in the future, you will have an excuse." ”

Shi Xiangyuan gave him a blank look: "Who is coming to see you." ”

Shen Jiajue smiled and moved closer to her, rubbing her arm twice: "Okay, I want to see you, if I want to see Miss Shi in the future, I have to ask my mother to make a post." ”

Shi Xiangyuan hammered him twice with a smile: "I'm used to being poor!" ”

When Shen Jiajue took Shi Xiangyuan to Shen Jiachen's place, when he saw that the two of them were playing chess together, Shi Xiangyuan smacked his lips: "They won't play chess for an afternoon." "Isn't it boring for her to ask?

"People are having fun," Shen Jiajue seemed to know what she was thinking, and then shouted into the study, "Second brother, Miss Lu, my mother left dinner, and Miss Qinghe has already come to shout." ”

Mother Shen motioned to the maids to give the two girls vegetables, and then said with a smile: "Jiahe and Jiahui are married, I often feel empty in the house, if you two are okay in the future, come and talk to me." ”

Lu Jiuzhi and Shi Xiangyuan didn't know the meaning of these words, so they hurriedly agreed, thinking of the conversation with Shen Jiajue in the afternoon, Shi Xiangyuan glanced at Shen Jiajue twice, and saw that the other party was smiling with a narrow face, and hurriedly lowered his eyes again.

After dinner, several people accompanied Shen's mother to talk, but Qinghe reminded on the side: "Madam, it's getting late, I'm afraid that if the two girls don't go back, the family will be in a hurry." ”

Mother Shen nodded, and then instructed Qinghe to take out the things that had been prepared a long time ago: "These two bracelets are still my dowry back then, I see that the patterns are chic, but they are suitable for you young people to wear." ”

After the two thanked each other, Shen's mother instructed again: "Okay, let them send you back, and take me to say hello to your mother." ”

The sun had completely sunk, and several people walked out of the gate together, the Shi family and the Lu family's servants had already driven the carriage over, and the red sleeves were just about to put down the pedals, but Shen Jiachen directly picked up the person and sent him directly to the carriage.

Lu Jiuzhi hurriedly covered his eyes: "Why, why don't you avoid someone!" ”

Shen Jiachen casually pulled the curtain of the car, then pulled Lu Jiuzhi's hand down, kissed her eyes before smiling: "It's okay, they don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Lu Jiuzhi leaned on his arms and inhaled the crisp taste, before he was willing to rush people: "Go down quickly, you don't have to make people laugh." ”

Shen Jiachen hugged her before she was willing to come out, and told the red sleeves to take care of her, so she let the carriage go, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Jiajue looking at the Shi family's carriage with an obsessive face, and couldn't help laughing.
