Chapter 22 Risks (1)
"It's a mother surnamed Sun, who came with the sedan chair, and she is dressed very decently, not like an ordinary person." When Lan Ying said this, she couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and said, "That Mother Sun is really polite, and as soon as she came, she said that she was very sorry to disturb her wife so early." I asked her to come in, but she told me to come first, and said that if my wife didn't get up, she would wait outside for a while. β
The Cao family couldn't help frowning, and muttered in confusion: "Grandma Qian only came yesterday, why did the Shen family send someone over again?" It's also strange that the sedan chair is waiting outside the door. β
Ning Ningqing put down the porridge spoon in her hand and said calmly: "Mother let that Mother Sun come in and ask." β
Cao nodded and ordered Lan Ying to lead Mother Sun in. Lan Ying came out in response, Ningxia Qing looked at Cao's bowl, there was still half a bowl of porridge left in it, and Ningxia Qing said: "Mother, you drink the porridge first, don't even drink the gruel because the Shen family can't even drink it." β
Cao Shi had no appetite, shook his head, put down the spoon, and asked Ningxia Qing to bring the tea on the side, and the two rinsed their mouths. At this time, Lan Ying led her grandmother who was wearing a slippery bun, wearing a fat jade tan, and wearing a crow-blue satin gown, and Cao recognized it at a glance, this grandmother was none other than the lady in charge beside Mrs. Shen.
"Grandma Ning, Wanfu." As soon as Mother Sun came in, before she could stand still, she greeted her respectfully and kowtowed directly to Cao's family.
Cao Shi was startled, and hurriedly got up and went over to help: "Mother Sun, don't make such a big gift, I really can't afford it!" β
Mother Sun stood up and said humbly: "You are the grandmother of the Shen Mansion, and you are my master, so you can naturally afford it!" Mrs. Jin'er sent me over, and specially explained to me that in front of my own grandmother, I must be courteous and thoughtful. β
Mother Sun looked at Ning Xia Qing again, and praised again and again: "This is the eldest girl, right?" If it is really peugeot and moving, it is no wonder that my wife praises it every day. Mother Sun said as she bowed to Ningxia Qing.
Ning Xia Qing turned sideways slightly, and said, "Mother Sun is polite." Then he ordered Lan Ying to serve tea.
Mother Sun stopped Lan Ying and said to Cao and Ningxia Qing with a smile: "I'm just an errand runner, how can I sit down and drink tea?" Today, my wife sent me over to invite my grandmother and the eldest girl to come and talk. As he spoke, he saw dishes and meals on the kang table, and immediately covered his mouth and said, "Alas, I really should fight!" It turned out that my grandmother and the eldest girl were having breakfast, and I actually came in at this time to disturb me, I really should have hit! β
"It's okay, we've already eaten." Cao Shi said as he motioned for Lan Ying to remove the things on the kang table, and asked Mother Sun with some puzzlement: "I don't know what happened when Mrs. Shen sent her mother over to invite my mother and daughter over?" β
Mother Sun waited for Lan Ying to clean up and retreat, then smiled apologetically and whispered: "I heard that Grandma Qian came here yesterday, and she spoke a little unpleasantly, misinterpreting Madame's meaning, and Madame felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't do it after knowing this." But Grandma Qian is Madame's sister-in-law, and Madame is not easy to reprimand Grandma Lin, so early this morning, before dawn, Madame urged me to come over and invite my grandmother and eldest girl to come over. The first is to make amends in person and solve yesterday's misunderstanding, and the second is to discuss with my grandmother to see when our family will have a happy event. β
Cao's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a while before he asked in disbelief, "Is this really what Mrs. Shen meant?" β
Mother Sun nodded again and again: "Naturally, it is what my wife meant." If not, why did my wife urge me early in the morning to come and invite you? β
"Original...... I see. Cao's eyes were wet, and the big stone hanging in his heart was finally put down. Seeing that Cao's heart was excited, Ning Ningqing said to Mother Sun: "Please Mother Sun go outside and wait for a while, my mother and I will freshen up, and then go with you." β
Cao Shi also held back his tears, and hurriedly ordered: "Lan Ying, prepare some refreshments, and ask Mother Sun to wait outside for a while." β
Mother Sun stopped Lan Ying again, and said with a smile on her face: "I can't stand it, I'll wait next to the car, my grandmother and the eldest girl don't have to worry." β
Seeing that Mother Sun had gone out, Cao Shi stroked her chest and said with relief: "Presumably Mrs. Shen has figured it out, after all, it is the relationship between the two old ladies many years ago, how can you say that you will retreat, that is not to let outsiders say that the Shen Mansion is ungrateful." Looking at it this way, Mrs. Shen is actually reasonable, and it is estimated that Grandma Qian provoked it. Since Mrs. Shen is like this, my mother is also relieved, and she is not afraid that you will be bullied after you marry. β
Seeing Cao's face glowing red, Ning Ningqing's heart was sour, and she was distressed and unbearable, so she had to say: "Mother, let's not rush to conclusions, whether it is Grandma Qian or Mother Sun, they are all speaking for Mrs. Shen, as long as we don't hear Mrs. Shen herself, we can't easily trust anyone." β
"Mother knows, because of Grandma Qian's words, you don't know the bottom of your heart. According to my mother, Mrs. Shen must have been in a hurry to invite us over and make it clear in person because of Grandma Qian's words. β
Ningxia Qing hung his head, not letting Cao Shi see his expression.
Cao Shi was still excited, and said: "This one on your body is too plain, go change into a bright outfit and wear a few better jewelry." β
"Mother, it's not a big day today, if I dress up, it will seem that we are too flattering." After Ning Xia Qing finished speaking, he pushed Cao Shi to the dressing table, and said with a smile: "It's a mother, you should dress up well." When I was in the Gu Mansion yesterday, I saw that Mrs. Shen's clothes and jewelry were very luxurious, and she looked like the wife of the princess's family. Since her mother is her in-laws, she can't be compared! I'll help you pack up. β
"Qing'er ......" Cao was pressed to the embroidery pier by Ningxia Qing, and saw Ningxia Qing open the wardrobe and stand there concentrating on picking clothes. I don't know when Qing'er started to be the little girl who needed her to take care of her, but became a family member who could protect her and let her rely on.
The mother and daughter packed up and went to tell Mrs. Ning about the matter before leaving, and Mrs. Ning was also very surprised, but the sedan chair of the Shen Mansion was waiting, and it was not good to delay for too long, so they only gave a few simple instructions and let them go.
The Cao family brought Lan Ying, which was regarded as a faΓ§ade, and the rest of the maids did not bring anything.
Cuiyu sent them to the door, and before going out, Ningxia Qingruo glanced at Cuiyu casually, and Cuiyu nodded slightly.
The carriage of the Shen Mansion was spacious and luxurious, and Mother Sun personally helped Cao and Ningxia Qing to get into the car, and then enthusiastically pushed the plates on the small table in the car, and said: "This is the tea specially prepared by my wife for my grandmother and the eldest girl, there are candied golden dates and jade bean cakes, as well as apricot oolong tea, this tea is warm, and the grandmother and the eldest girl will taste it." β
"It's, it's too polite...... "How could the Cao family ever sit in such a luxurious carriage?" With such delicate refreshments in the car, she really couldn't help but be flattered.
Ning Xia Qing was indifferent, glanced at those things coldly, and politely refused: "Thank you Mrs. Shen for this thought." It's just that my mother and I just had breakfast, and I really can't eat it. It's Mother Sun, who came here early in the morning, and has been waiting outside for a long time, so she must be hungry, so why don't you use it. β
"The eldest girl is so considerate, no wonder my wife praises it every day." Mother Sun smiled like a flower, and then began to use the horn. Lan Ying was so shocked that her eyes widened slightly, after all, a family like the Shen Mansion had rules like a mountain, how could there be a servant who ate in front of his master? What's more, it is indeed a little strange that this grandmother Sun has been so thoughtful for a few weeks just now that she would do such a thing. Lan Ying also only glanced at it, and then pretended to be nothing.
Ningxia Qingyan watched Mother Sun eat snacks and drink tea, then turned her head and looked at the shaking curtains.
What a game of chess, so carefully arranged from the beginning!
Gain trust and paralyze vigilance...... Lure her into the urn step by step.
If it weren't for the fact that she had been calculated in her previous life, she wouldn't have been able to detect the trick at all.
It's just that I don't know if this is Mrs. Shen's idea or Tan Wenshi's idea. But those people are intertwined and colluded, and it doesn't make a difference whose idea it is!
The Ning Mansion was only two long streets away from the Shen Mansion, and the carriage arrived quickly. Lan Ying was waiting outside the second gate, and Ning Xia Qing and the nervous Cao followed Mother Sun inside. After passing through the Yimen and walking to the main hall, I saw that Mrs. Shen, who was covered in splendid Qiluo and jewelry, had greeted her with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Shen took Cao's hand affectionately and said, "I waited here early in the morning, but I looked forward to my grandmother!" Come, come in and sit in the hall! Tired on the road? I heard that my grandmother was weak and couldn't stand the bumps of the carriage, so I asked someone to prepare the most spacious sedan chair, can you still stand it? Mrs. Shen said as she smiled, looking like she was really close to Cao.
Cao Shi hurriedly said politely: "You are so polite!" How can I go in my heart? β
"What's this! We're all going to be a family, and we all deserve it. After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, her eyes turned to Ning Xia Qing beside Cao's side, and she still said to Cao's: "It's a shame that you can give birth to such a peugeot!" It's impossible to get enough of it! β
Cao Shi said a few polite words, obviously completely letting down his guard, and showed a sincere smile.
Mrs. Shen clapped her hands and said, "Alas, look at my brain, how can there be any reason to stand at the door and speak?" Fast forward hall, fast forward hall! As he spoke, he brought Cao and Ningxia Qing closer to the hall, let Cao sit at the top, and he sat at the bottom, and ordered someone to serve tea.
Cao Shi asked gently, "Is that kid okay with Zhiyuan?" I guess I'm going to school, right? β
"Yes, he has been working very hard lately, reading hard day and night, and I feel distressed when I look at it......" Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen reached out and stirred the teaspoon, and the words stopped.
