Seeing Guo Shi looking at his stomach, Shen Rui bowed his head very embarrassedly.

Guo is good friends with Sun, and he often came to Sifang earlier, and he has seen Shen Rui. knew that although his rules were not bad, Shen Rui was indeed doted on by the old man in the fourth room, and his temperament was a little arrogant. Now seeing that his temperament has changed greatly, so shy and well-behaved, Guo Shi would not have thought that he was not "possessed by wild ghosts", but he felt more and more pitiful, a little child, in a few days, he was tortured to this point, he was a little bully-like temperament, and now he began to look at people's faces timidly.

Guo Shi was sad for a while, tears poured down all of a sudden, he hurriedly lowered his head and wiped his tears, and said softly: "Rui Ge'er has been asleep for two days without rice and water, it seems that he is hungry, and my aunt will ask someone to bring food for Rui Ge'er." After that, he turned around and called the plain maid and gave two orders.

The maid answered, and after a while, she turned back, and she had already carried the food box in her hand, followed by the filial piety servant, holding a kang table in her hand.

Another servant came over with a basin of water and served Guo and rolled up her sleeves. Guo personally threw a towel and wiped Shen Rui's face and hands.

Shen Rui is a child, but inside is the heart of a big man, he is wiped his hands and face like a child, where can he be comfortable, and it is difficult to avoid it, so he can only blush and be at the mercy of Guo's family. This bowed appearance became cautious and cowardly in the eyes of others, and Guo, who saw it, became more and more distressed, couldn't help but hold it in his arms, and choked up: "My son, it's my aunt who is not good, my aunt should come to see you earlier, and come to see you earlier." ”

Although Shen Rui was embraced, listening to these sad words, he really couldn't think crookedly, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.

Seeing this, the maid who carried the food box persuaded her: "Lady, my brother is still hungry." ”

Guo Shi hurriedly got up to wipe away his tears, instructed the maid to set up a small table, personally opened the food box, put a few plates of side dishes and snacks out, and filled a bowl of thick porridge.

Shen Rui was already hungry and hateful, his eyes were glued to the small dining table, and he only felt the fragrance of rice and coriander, so he couldn't help but lean forward. It's just that in the bones, in the end, it is an adult, and in front of everyone's eyes, he can't do anything to grab food, he just looks eagerly, swallows a mouthful of spit, takes the porridge bowl with both hands, and eats it one by one.

The warm rice porridge went down his throat, and Shen Rui almost burst into tears, unconsciously speeding up the pace of eating.

Woohoo, this unfortunate rebirth.

He drank porridge for three days before, but the porridge was thin and clear, it was really useless, he could only quench his thirst, and if he didn't have those eggs, he would really starve to death. After eating a bowl of porridge, he realized that the porridge was slightly bitter, and after a little aftertaste, it was the taste of ginseng.

Guo Shi had already taken his empty bowl and said softly: "Brother Rui was hungry before, so it is not advisable to eat more, otherwise I am afraid that it will hurt my stomach." Rui Ge'er will use these first, and when the food is eaten, the aunt will prepare something to eat for you. ”

Shen Rui thanked him, although his stomach was still empty, he still looked away from the dining table.

Guo Shi was very relieved to see that he was obedient, and ordered someone to remove the dining table, saying: "Brother Rui slept for a day and a night, but it was not good to lie down again. If you can bear it, you will get up and go around the house, and you will save food. ”

Shen Rui nodded, got up and got out of bed. Guo ordered someone to take a stack of clothes, hats, shoes and socks, all of which were new. Although the clothing is plain white muslin, the inside is thin cotton, which does not look thick, but it is soft and warm when worn on the body. When he finished wearing these, he was covered with burlap filial piety clothes and hats.

Although the Sun family is the lady in charge, because there are elders in the family, they can't stop seven-seven, and at most they can only stop to "five-seven". It is only the next day of the "first seven", and there is still a month of mourning, and Guo is not in a hurry to take Shen Rui to the front of the spirit.

The dead are gone, and we still have to think about the living. In the early winter, even if Songjiang is not as cold as the weather in the north, the Lingtang is cold, and a sick and weak child, if it is not good to recuperate, where can he be restrained. Guo's meaning, before the funeral, every time there is a time to "burn seven", Shen Rui just shows up, and the province allows the son of the evil to occupy the position of filial son, but he may not need to see the sky to guard in front of the spirit.

As soon as Shen Rui changed his clothes, he heard footsteps outside the house. Before I could see anyone, I heard a voice outside the door: "My precious grandson is awake!" ”

As he spoke, the curtain opened, and several maids came in with an old woman. The old woman was of the age of a sixtieth year, with a rich body, wearing a plain silk jacket of crow blue, with a silver hairpin on her head, not tall, plump, and hurried.

When Guo Shi heard the movement, he had already gotten up, went down to the old woman, and said, "Uncle Niang is here." ”

The old woman didn't see it, she walked directly to Shen Rui, hugged Shen Rui in her arms, and said, "My heart and liver, but I want to feel sorry for my old body." ”

The old woman in front of him, Shen Rui woke up and saw it for the first time, but because of the memory of the owner, she was not a stranger, this was the owner's grandmother, Zhang Lao'an, who was in the fourth room. Since the owner landed, he has been raised by Zhang Laoan's side. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very good.

According to Shen Juren's statement yesterday, since the death of the Sun family, Zhang Lao'an has been sad and transitioning, and his body is not happy, and he has taken care of Sun's funeral, so he has not been able to take care of his grandson in person. But looking at the old woman's spirit, her face was full of red light, and she really didn't look sick.

Seeing that Guo was still bending his knees, Shen Rui looked at Guo Shi.

Seeing that his grandson didn't react, Zhang Lao'an lowered his head and followed his line of sight, as if he had just seen Guo's, and said: "Daughter-in-law Hong, get up quickly, Brother Rui is thanks to you for taking care of you for the past two days, but you have worked hard, and the old body should thank you." ”

Guo Shi got up and said: "It's just that my nephew and daughter-in-law have taken it, how much merit has been accumulated by a kind-hearted person like my sister-in-law, if we watch Rui Ge'er suffer, is it still a human being?" ”

Zhang Laoanren's expression stiffened slightly, and he groped Shen Rui's back and said, "Speaking of it, it's all old body...... If it weren't for the fact that the old man was sad that he didn't have a good daughter-in-law, and his body was not good, he couldn't take care of it for a while, and he wouldn't let his subordinates snub Rui Ge'er. ”

No matter what the real reason for Shen Rui's slow treatment is, Zhang Laoanren's words can be regarded as an "official explanation".

Since ancient times, the world has respected filial piety. There is also the story of "Guo Ju'er Burying" on "Twenty-four Filial Piety", even if outsiders are unhappy for the Sun family, but Lao Anren spoke to take care of his grandson's affairs on his own "can't take care of", and others want to provoke Shen Juren, which is not eventful.

If you change your personality to be sleek, you must not flatter two sentences to round this matter over. After all, this is a four-room family matter, and Shen Rui will be fine after being ill, and he will have to live with his grandmother in the future. Guo Shi is not a sleek character, he glanced at Zhang Lao'anren with a little doubt, and said: "Uncle Niang is an old feudal monarch, and there are people who are not as energetic as she is old, but she is just a person next to her sister-in-law?" Although the sister-in-law is gone, Rui Ge'er is their little master, and it is just because they serve faithfully. ”

When Zhang Lao'an heard this, he snorted lightly and said, "It's not that your sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and she doesn't know what to think, so she eliminated their slavery from her family and released them early." They are all white-eyed wolves, who still thinks that the Shen family is the old master, and there is still a little master here......"

"All of them are released?" Guo Shi frowned when he heard this: "But a few days before my sister-in-law left, they were still there?" ”

Zhang Laoan snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that the old body is still lying to you?" Who told your sister-in-law to be kind-hearted, didn't she start releasing people a few months ago? Others don't know, Hong's daughter-in-law doesn't know? ”

Guo Shi was neither humble nor arrogant: "My sister-in-law has been sick for more than half a year, and the weaving factory shop outside is managed by my aunt, and my niece and daughter-in-law think that the inner house is also affected by my aunt." ”

Shen Rui was on the side, and he only felt that these two people were playing sharply. It seems that Zhang Laoan's meddling in the daughter-in-law's dowry industry is not a secret among the clansmen. Listening to this, there have been changes in the personnel of the industry.

Zhang Laoanren's face was ugly, and he looked at Guo Shi coldly and said: "The previous shopkeepers and account offices were all signed short contracts, and if the contract is solved, it is a free body, and the nephew and daughter-in-law will use it if they want to keep it." These slaves and maids in the inner house have a lot to do with it, and there is no shortage of people who are evil and betray their masters. After the funeral of the Sun family, there must always be some planning, and the niece and daughter-in-law should be careful, don't steal the chicken and the rice. ”

Guo Shi said lightly: "Don't worry, my nephew and daughter-in-law will definitely persuade them to come back to serve Rui Ge'er, and there is no proper person around Rui Ge'er in the province." ”

Shen Rui was beside him, but he was a little anxious. Because I was so hungry, I woke up just now and put all my thoughts on eating, and when I heard the two of them talking, I remembered Wang's mother and Liu Ya.

Look at Lao Anren's style, without any remorse. Shen Juren pushed out the Zheng clan in front of the clansmen, but with Shen Jin here, what could the Zheng clan do. Pursued ruthlessly, in order to shirk responsibility, maybe he will have to let Mother Wang and Liu Ya be substitutes for the dead, how can Shen Rui let her be happy. It's just that in front of Zhang Laoanren, Shen Rui didn't want to speak out about it, so he took two steps sideways, pulled Guo's sleeve, and whispered: "Auntie, my nephew wants to go to worship his mother." ”

Seeing that Shen Rui was close to the Guo family, Zhang Laoan smiled and stretched out his arm to pull Shen Rui and said, "Your aunt has been taking care of you for two days, and it's not good to work hard, so the old man will take you over." ”

Shen Rui flashed sideways, avoided behind Guo's family, and looked at Zhang Lao'an timidly. I really don't want to play a drama of deep love between ancestors and grandchildren with this Lao An person, so it's better to continue to take the "little pitiful" route. Otherwise, the elders in the clan "seeing is believing", and they only think that they and Zhang Lao'an have a "deep love for their ancestors and grandchildren", and they no longer care about how good they are.

Zhang Laoanren's expression stiffened, Guo Shi had already taken Shen Rui's hand and said, "Good boy, auntie will take you to see your mother." After speaking, Fang said to Zhang Laoan: "Since the aunt is not in good health, she is resting, and the nephew and daughter-in-law take Rui Ge'er to the mourning hall." ”

Zhang Laoan said worriedly: "Brother Rui'er is still weak, where can he afford to toss?" What if there's a bad one? Who can afford it? ”

Guo's expression was cold, he took Shen Rui's hand tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law has been gone for a few days, and Brother Rui, as a son, has long been an incense. The niece and daughter-in-law were instructed by the clan elders to take care of Rui Ge'er, and it was not appropriate for the nephew and daughter-in-law to bear it. ”

Shen Rui only felt a chill in his heart, cursing his grandson like this, is this a grandmother, or an enemy?
