Chapter 9: Don't Interrupt When I Speak

Listening to him go around and around and finally take the end of the words to Shen Mixiang, the old man Shen turned his eyes sideways and said angrily: "The junior in the family, which one is not better than the life of the girl?" This girl was born to be snubbed by you, and when she was eight years old, she lost her mother, and watched her mother die in her arms, and then suffered from the white eyes of others. You, a father, have you ever been a father one day? ”

Hearing him talk about these old things, Shen Mixiang buried her head lightly on the side and didn't say a word. Iris and Steward Fan looked at each other silently, and sighed in their hearts, feeling sorry for their three girls.

Shen Wang was accused and didn't dare to raise his head, while Old Man Shen continued to chatter.

“…… I know that you and your eldest lady, as well as the concubine, privately complain that my old man is partial, and only loves to find a child......"

"My son has no such thoughts......" Shen Wang hurriedly interjected, but in exchange for the old man's even more impatient eyes.

"Don't interrupt me when I speak!"

Shen Wang closed his mouth and silently lowered his head to listen to the old man's preaching.

"You only see me doting on her, but you don't see this girl's own diligence, intelligence, and ability. Over the years, she has been fighting or grabbing at home, trying to do everything well, whether it is incense making or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has never fallen behind to learn, and she has learned better than anyone else. She's worked so hard, so why can't you see her heart? Just ignore it, and make things difficult in every way, finding fault and trouble everywhere, especially your concubine! ”

Speaking of qi, Old Man Shen couldn't help coughing lightly, Shen Mixiang saw this, hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, patted his back gently, and smoothed his breath for him.

"Grandfather, you are not in good health, don't mention those things about old sesame seeds and rotten grain. Say a few words, and your granddaughter will accompany you back to the house to rest. ”

Shen Wang said at the right time: "Yes, Dad, you can let Mixiang help you back to the house to rest." What you say, your son will take to heart and not worry you. Today's matter, the son will no longer blame the incense, just let it pass. ”

"Ahem, ahem...... You, you, you don't like to hear it every time you talk about it. Alas, old, old. I can't control you, old man, and I don't worry about you. But I'll say it again, even if it's wrong, I'll teach you a lesson later, and it's not your turn to talk about it. ”

With that, he got up and tapped his cane hard to show the weight of his words. Shen Wang lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to disobey.

"My son understands."

Mi Xiang raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Wang lightly, and then quickly lowered her head: "Dad, my daughter will help my grandfather go back first, and come back another day to listen to your teachings." ”

After saying that, he and Iris walked out of the house with Old Man Shen left and right, and only Shen Wang and Steward Fan were left in the room.

For a long time, Shen Wang squinted his eyes and frowned, and sighed faintly: "Look at the third girl, let her be involved as little as possible in the future, the girl's family will always marry in the future, if she is slandered and her reputation is ruined, how can a good family be willing to marry her in the future." ”

Steward Fan bowed his head and said "hey", and then thought for a while and said: "Actually, don't worry, sir, the third girl is like a mirror in her heart, she has a book for everyone and everything." In addition, nowadays, the three girls are only making incense in the workshop, and occasionally go to Chenxiangzhai to supervise people to sell incense. But I can see that the third girl is a person with a furrow in her chest, and she doesn't let her eyebrows go, so it's time for you to let go of some spice business. ”

The inquiring gaze fell on Steward Fan, Shen Wang didn't speak, and fell into deep thought.
