The first day of the seventh month.

Tan Wenshi had already helped to take care of the Ning family's side, and the family promised to stand by and watch the Shen family's withdrawal.

Just after noon, after Mrs. Shen got up from a nap, she immediately sat down in front of the mirror, first picked up the white makeup powder, to cover the dark blue under her eyes due to the lack of rest recently, and then, while drawing the small mountain eyebrows that showed her spirit, she commanded: "Huang Yuan, call Zhiyuan." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Shen Zhiyuan came and arched his hand: "Mother." ”

"Mr. is giving you a holiday today, isn't he?"

Shen Zhiyuan glanced at Mrs. Shen and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

"Since you're not studying, where did you go in the morning? I asked Huang Yuan to look for you several times, but you weren't there. ”

"I'm going to find my cousin. It's my cousin's birthday, and my cousin wants to make some new clothes, so he asks me to help him with his work. ”

Mrs. Shen frowned, extremely displeased: "How many times have I said that you should have less dealings with Li Shilin!" Then Li Shilin is not a good thing, when you have time, instead of going to see Li Shilin, it is better to interact with your classmates more. ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled: "Mother, my cousin is your nephew, and you don't want to see him now......"

Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Zhiyuan fiercely.

Shen Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, I will get along with my classmates more, my cousin set up wine at night, and also invited those classmates who are familiar with me." ”

"Those classmates you know well?" Mrs. Shen sneered and said, "You are now a talent, how can you be the same as those who don't even have fame?" Besides, your father is now a dignified six-grade official, you should also know your identity and have less dealings with those who are not careful! ”

"Mother, didn't you tell me to interact more with my classmates, I already listened to you. Why do you still say that I don't associate with random people? ”

"I'm asking you to associate more with those classmates who have fame and family background, and when you embark on a career in the future, they are all your contemporaries and your help! I'm not letting you mess with your classmates who don't know how to mess around! ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I know." Mother, what are you looking for me? ”

"You're still asking me what I'm looking for you? Tomorrow is an auspicious day, and I'm going to do your life's work for you! But you're fine, like you're a nobody! ”

Shen Zhiyuan's face was confused: "A lifelong event? What's that? ”

"What's the matter, you ask? Of course, it's with the Ning family! As soon as I mention the Ning family, I get angry! If it weren't for the stinky and shameless Ning family who kept holding on to the high branches of our family and refused to let go, how could I be rejected by the Gu family that day? This time, I have to let the Ning family know how good I am! ”

Shen Zhiyuan opened his mouth slightly, very unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Shen, and asked with a little temptation: "Mother, do you really want to withdraw from your marriage?" ”

Mrs. Shen glanced over: "What?" Don't you want to quit your family? ”

"I ...... I just think that our family and the Ning family have been friends for decades, and once we get out of the relationship, we will never be able to communicate with each other again......"

"With a family like that, what else do we have to deal with? Take 10,000 steps back and say, we can't blame our family, we can only blame the Ning family for not knowing the current affairs. If the Ning family had a face and honestly quit their relatives, they would not have made such a fuss as they are now, and when his family fell in the future, I wouldn't mind showing kindness and rewarding them with something. ”

Shen Zhiyuan was silent, and there was still hesitation on his face.

The more Mrs. Shen spoke, the more hateful she became: "The Kening family is insatiable!" Pick up the high branches of our house and refuse to let go! The appetite is not big, but the ambition is not small! It was the Ning family who went out of the way by themselves, and they can't complain about our family in the future! ”

Shen Zhiyuan thought for a while, and said resignedly: "But, after all, this is a family affair set by grandpa......"

Mrs. Shen glanced at him: "I think you really don't want to quit your family." How? Could it be that I saw the girl from the Ning family that day and it tickled your heart? ”

Shen Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Mother, in fact, although the Ning family is in a recession, the Ning family's own side is a wealthy businessman in Meigong County, and it is more majestic than many officials, so the Ning family is not very bad......

Mrs. Shen snorted and scolded, "Are you dizzy?" Don't forget, that Gu Yimeng is already your person, and you are already the son-in-law of the Gu family. The marriage with the Ning family, you have to retreat, and if you don't retreat, you have to retreat! ”

"Mother, you misunderstood, I haven't forgotten that Gu Si girl...... Shen Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and said, "I mean, in fact, our family doesn't have to be bad with the Ning family." Didn't the Ning family just want to climb our family, we simply fulfilled the wish of the Ning family, let Ning Xia Qing be my concubine, and then take care of the Ning family from time to time, so that the Gu family would not be offended, and the Ning family would be able to stop. ”

Mrs. Shen was stunned.

Shen Zhiyuan continued to persuade: "Mother, you also said that after I enter the officialdom, you will give me a concubine sooner or later." In this case, let Ning Ningqing be my concubine now, wouldn't it save our family and the Ning family a dispute. ”

Mrs. Shen's brows loosened slightly, obviously thinking that this plan might work, and snorted coldly: "You have a meritorious reputation, and your father is a promising six-grade official of the imperial court, and it is reasonable for her to be a merchant girl as a concubine for our family." It's just that the Ning family doesn't know what to do, and they think of themselves as high, if they propose to make Ningxia Qing a concubine, the Ning family will definitely not be happy! ”

"Mother, anyway, you plan to do the resignation tomorrow, so it's better to ask today! Ask and don't lose anything! Maybe if you ask, the knot between our family and the Ning family will be solved! You won't have to run again tomorrow! ”

Seeing Shen Zhiyuan's anxious appearance, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but sneer and asked, "What?" As far as the side of Gu Fu is concerned, do you think about that girl like this? ”

Shen Zhiyuan nodded, and didn't say anything about meeting Ning Ningqing on the street before.

"Okay! Since you are concerned about that girl, I'll go and ask you. But you have to promise me one thing! ”

Shen Zhiyuan was overjoyed: "You say! I'll promise you anything! ”

"Your dad has something to do tonight, and he may not be able to come back. If you go to Li Shilin's banquet in the evening, you will have the meaning, you are not allowed to delay too much, you must come back early! ”

Shen Zhiyuan agreed very happily.

Not for a moment.

Grandma Gu finally took Gu Yimeng back to the house, and the two went to see Mrs. Gu.

Old Lady Gu looked at Gu Yimeng, who had obviously lost weight several times, sighed, and asked, "How is your body?" ”

Gu Yimeng didn't squeak, Gu Er's grandmother immediately rushed to answer, patting her chest and packing the ticket: "Don't worry, the old lady, with her daughter-in-law taking care of her, the body of the four girls is absolutely fine, just like when there was no such thing." ”

As soon as he heard the word "this", Gu Yimeng was like a frightened rabbit, and he hung his head even more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu immediately frowned, Wen Yan comforted Gu Yimeng a few words, and said: "Fourth girl, you go back to rest first, so that you can be raised, if there is anything uncomfortable, come and tell me immediately." The second family, you stay, I have something to tell you. ”

When Gu Yimeng heard this, he only blessed slightly, and then went out, lowering his head from beginning to end, refusing to say a word.

Mrs. Gu said: "A few days ago, the girl of the Ning family came once, and I talked to her for a while, and I really liked that girl." You just prepare at both ends, buy a dowry for the four girls, you must let the four girls marry into the Shen family in a beautiful manner, and then prepare for Brother Lang, find a good day to go to the Ning family to propose marriage. ”

Gu Er's grandmother was stunned for a moment, although she was unwilling on her face, she had no choice but to obey: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

"In addition to proposing relatives, we also have to start repairing Brother Lang'er's residence, and if it is repaired better, it is best to use it directly as a new house."

"Yes."

Old Lady Gu stared at Grandma Gu's second grandmother and said word by word: "You still have to be careful about the body of the fourth girl, the fourth girl is my own granddaughter, I don't allow her to miss again." In everything you do in the future, you must remember not to rush for quick success, but to be safe and long-term. Okay, you've worked hard these days, so you can go back and rest. ”

Second Grandma Gu wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead with a handkerchief: "The daughter-in-law will definitely live up to the old lady's teachings." ”

It's just over time.

Lan Ying came to report: "Madam, Mrs. Shen is here." ”

Cao's face suddenly turned happy, and he stroked his chest and said, "I was about to come to the door to ask in person, but I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to come, this is really a coincidence!" Lan Ying, go and invite Mrs. Shen in, and then go to prepare a pot of tea, and order a few snacks in the kitchen! ”

Lan Ying responded with a smile, and then introduced the high-spirited Mrs. Shen into the door of the Cao family.

However, Lan Ying and Ai Lu were about to send it into the house with tea and snacks, but they heard Cao's angry rebuke and the sound of cups breaking suddenly!

The two maids froze in place, looking at each other.

In the end, Lan Ying has been in the Ning family for a long time, at this time, Lan Ying is more able to make up her mind, she put the things in her hand aside, quietly walked outside the door and listened for a while, her face changed in an instant, and then hurriedly instructed Ai Lu: "I'll go find the eldest girl, you are waiting here." If your wife calls someone, you go in and say I've gone to prepare tea and haven't come back. ”

Lan Ying just ran to the door of Ningxia Qing and bumped into Cuiyu, Cuiyu hurriedly grabbed Lan Ying and asked, "Why are you here?" The eldest girl heard a movement in her wife's house, and I was about to go over and ask. ”

Lan Ying didn't have time to explain to Cuiyu, so she pulled Cuiyu into the house to find Ningxia Qing and said everything she had just heard.

Cuiyu immediately cried angrily: "Phew! This kind of ugly words, the Shen family can also say it? It's shameless! ”

Lan Ying was also so anxious that she said, "What a good temper that is, madam!" I have been with my wife for so many years, and I have never seen my wife angry, but my wife was so angry that she scolded Mrs. Shen on the spot, and she was so angry that she dropped the teacup. For so many years, I've never seen my wife drop a teacup! ”

Ning Xia Qing sneered: "The gift I gave her hasn't arrived yet, but she came to me first!" Lan Ying, you go and take care of it first, don't let your mother get too angry, so as not to get angry. ”

Lan Ying immediately responded: "I'm about to go back." There was only Ai Lu waiting over there, and I didn't feel at ease. ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded: "You go first, I'll put on a dress and go over." ”
