Chapter 179: The Arrival of Your Honored Guest
Meng Xiaoran stood up and smiled at him, "Don't worry, I've already picked all the candidates." ”
Shen Qian looked at her outfit today, a simple hanging cloud bun, a tasseled silver hairpin, and her face was still as unpowdered as before, with this goose yellow dress, it looked fresh and elegant, and she did not lose the girlish beauty.
"You're beautiful like this today." Shen Qian couldn't help but say.
Meng Xiaoran glanced at him, ignored it, and walked away directly, recently Shen Qian has become more and more fond of saying such ambiguous words, she has been uncomfortable from the beginning, and now she has become accustomed to it.
The two went back together, and Meng Xiaoran went to the kitchen to find Ni Shang, "You're busy coming back so soon?" ”
Ni Shang had already changed into the coarse cloth clothes she wore on weekdays, looked up at Meng Xiaoran and smiled, "Girl, as we thought, the business in the store is good today, and those twenty sets of clothes were quickly bought." ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled, "You can get busy first, I have something to tell you when I finish lunch." ”
"Well, okay, girl, go back first, the kitchen is very dirty, don't stain your clothes."
Today's lunch is only Meng Xiaoran and Shen Qian sitting together, Ni Sheng went to take care of Aunt Hu to eat, and usually, when Shen Qian is there, she will not sit at the table, I am afraid that she still has some mustard in her heart, after all, she used to be just a maid.
"Qingfeng and eldest brother are going to work harder today, and the opening of Jinyifang is all about the two of them."
Shen Qian smiled, "Yes, it's really difficult to have a divine doctor and a guard do this, but I think they did a good job." ”
Meng Xiaoran couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "This let them know that they must be unhappy, the precious time of the eldest brother was used by you like this, you still have to wait for him to come to you for trouble." ”
Shen Qian looked at her and smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he deliberately let Chen Jingfeng and Qingfeng stay outside and not come back, so that he could have the opportunity to be alone with Meng Xiaoran, so he was not worried that Chen Jingfeng would be angry when he came back.
After lunch, Meng Xiaoran stood up and said to Shen Qian: "I have something to tell Ni Shang, you can go back first after eating." ”
Shen Qian nodded, he also had some things to deal with, and at this moment, Qing Feng suddenly ran in in a hurry, panting and looking at Shen Qian, and didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong? What's going on? ”
Qingfeng shook his head, glanced at Meng Xiaoran who was standing on the side, then looked at Shen Qian, and finally said, "Son, the lord and the lady are here......"
"Qian'er!" As soon as his words fell, a nice female voice sounded, Meng Xiaoran looked out, while Shen Qian looked nervous and immediately greeted him.
Since it was Shen Qian's parents who came back, out of politeness, she couldn't stay here and not go out, so she had to follow out of the front hall together, and when she came to the courtyard, she saw a pair of middle-aged men and women walking in.
The middle-aged woman can see that she is old, but even so, she is very beautiful and temperamental, you can see how she got the peerless beauty when she was young, and the middle-aged man is also temperamental, it is hard to imagine that such a person will be a former imperial businessman.
It can be said that the Shen family subverted her view of businessmen, and the middle-aged beauty first walked over quickly and grabbed Shen Qian's hands, "Qian'er, my son, I haven't seen you for a year, so I blame your father for not wanting to come back." After speaking, he glared at Shen Yu on the side.
When Shen Qian arrived in front of them, his whole temperament changed, and he smiled gently, "Mother, isn't this coming back?" ”
At this time, Song saw Meng Xiaoran standing aside, his eyes flashed with amazement, he walked over with a look of surprise, grabbed her hand and asked earnestly, "Who is this girl?" She looked Meng Xiaoran up and down, and she was already satisfied in her heart.
It was the first time for Meng Xiaoran to be treated so intimately by such a beautiful middle-aged woman, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while, she smiled at Song and replied: "I have met my uncle and aunt, I am a friend of Shen Gongzi, my name is Meng Xiaoran." ”
"It turned out to be Xiaoran, and she looks really good." After speaking, he kept looking at Meng Xiaoran with the eyes of his daughter-in-law, with an earnest smile in his eyes.
Shen Qian saw Meng Xiaoran's discomfort, he immediately stepped forward and pulled Song's hand back and rescued her, "Mother, you must be tired from the long journey with your father, your son will take you back to rest, right?" ”
Song reluctantly glanced at Meng Xiaoran, she wanted to talk more to this future daughter-in-law in her heart, but Shen Yu said: "I'm tired, Qian'er, take us to your residence to rest." ”
Saying that, he walked over and took away the Song family, who was still a little reluctant, Shen Qian nodded to Meng Xiaoran, and then left with Shen Yu and his wife, and the Song family finally turned around and smiled at Meng Xiaoran and said, "Xiaoran, aunt will come to see you later."
Meng Xiaoran had no choice but to smile and nod, after their family left, she was finally relieved, the first time she dealt with such an enthusiastic elder, she was a little overwhelmed, from childhood to adulthood, the only elder she had contacted was the director of the orphanage, and the dean was introverted and never so enthusiastic.
She had a wonderful feeling in her heart, for some reason, she was a little envious of Shen Qian, envious that he had a happy and perfect family, and that he had such a beautiful and gentle mother.
She stood in place for a while, and finally she sighed and went back to the inner courtyard, remembering what she was going to tell Ni Shang, so she walked to her room and knocked on the door, "Ni Shang, are you there?" ”
The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Nishang said with a smile, "Girl, are you here?"
"Let's go, go to my house."
The two entered Meng Xiaoran's room together, Meng Xiaoran took Ni Shang to the desk and sat down, pointed to the rice paper and charcoal pen in front of the desk and said, "Ni Shang, I see that you are also very talented in making clothes, are you interested in learning from me?" In the future, I will have to draw ten drawings a day, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep myself busy. ”
Nishang was stunned for a long time when she heard this, and then raised her head to look at Meng Xiaoran, a little excited, "Girl, I'm ...... Can I really? ”
Meng Xiaoran knew that she was definitely willing when she saw her like this, so she smiled and nodded, "Of course you can, if you are willing, I will teach you, and I will be comfortable after teaching you." ”
Nishang nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, I do, I want to draw such beautiful clothes like the girl." ”
"Okay, then I'll teach you."
At this end, Shen Qian brought Shen Yu and his wife into the opposite courtyard, Shen Yu frowned as soon as he entered, and the Song family was also distressed, "Qian'er, why do you live here?" Our family is really down to this point, so many family properties are really all handed over to the royal family? ”
When he learned that the Shen family was put into prison for selling illicit salt by the seventh prince Dongfang Rui'an, the Song family was worried, but Shen Yu was confident, and repeatedly assured her that there would be absolutely nothing at home, and that his son would definitely be fine, so the Song family believed him.
But now that she saw Shen Qian living in such a courtyard, she couldn't help but shed tears in distress, Shen Yu saw his beloved wife crying, and he was distressed, so he immediately lowered his head and comforted him, then raised his head and glared at Shen Qian, gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell is going on?" Go in and say! ”
The family of three entered the inner courtyard, Qingfeng stayed outside the house, Shen Yu helped the sad Song to sit down, and then looked at Shen Qian, "Say, what's going on?" Also, you said in your letter that you were going to get married, but is it true? ”
Speaking of this, Song immediately stopped crying, wiped his tears and looked at Shen Qian, "Qian'er, you said you wanted to get married, but with the Xiaoran girl just now?" ”
Shen Qian's eyes flashed slightly, and Shen Yu, who knew his son very well, immediately noticed that something was wrong, "What's wrong?" Could it be that you are lying to us in your letter? ”
Unexpectedly, his father said in a word, Shen Qian sat beside the Song family unhurriedly, and said to his mother: "Actually, this matter can't be said to lie to you, Xiaoran is her son's sweetheart, and her son will not marry her in this life, but she hasn't let go of her mouth now, so she ......"
"What do you say? How dare you deceive us with life's work! Before Shen Qian's words fell, he was interrupted by Shen Yu's loud shouts, which startled the Song family, and Qingfeng outside the door was also shocked.
Shen Qian seemed to be accustomed to it, he raised his eyebrows, and pretended to look at the Song family innocently, "Mother, my son has no way to make this decision, my son knows, you two elders will definitely be able to help me when you come back, and my son's lifelong affairs depend on you." ”
When Song heard this, her heart immediately softened, and when she saw her extraordinary British son begging for her so pitifully, she immediately made up her mind to help her son win the heart of a beauty.
Thinking like this, she turned her head to Shen Yu, who was still angry on the side, and said: "Master, don't be angry, Qian'er has finally had a girl she likes for so many years, and he has no experience, so naturally he doesn't understand, isn't it normal to write a letter to ask us to come back to help him?" Don't bother him, sit down and drink tea, and let's figure out how to marry that daughter-in-law. ”
When Shen Yu heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "What do you think?" If someone like ours goes to propose, can she still be willing? ”
When the Song family heard this, he immediately put down his face and snorted coldly, "Yes, that's why I rejected your Shen family's proposal back then, so you felt incredible, and you will be entangled like that in the future, right?" ”
Shen Yu was anxious when he heard this, but he didn't expect his beloved wife to turn over the old accounts at this time, he was really scared, so he immediately walked to her and sat down, and explained anxiously, "Yun'er, I didn't mean that, why did you talk about the past again?" ”
Song's maiden name Song Yuner, the marriage with Shen Yu was also full of turmoil, the son of the imperial merchant met the peasant girl, and after falling in love at first sight, he sent someone to the door to propose marriage, but was rejected, Shen Yu was not angry, and found Song Yuner to question, after which he experienced many things, the two came together, which is also a good story.
Shen Qian expected that his mother would not have a good opinion, so he thought of asking their second elder for help, as for his father, that is, a wife who is strict, as long as her mother agrees, then the matter will be done.
At this time, seeing Shen Yu's helpless appearance, Shen Qian was secretly happy in his heart, and Qingfeng outside the door was also surprised, just now there was such a big movement, he thought that this time the son was going to eat the family law again, who knew that in an instant, the old man's attitude softened, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that his son-in-law has really become more and more powerful over the years.
