Chapter 256: Old Man Shen
I don't know why, obviously Meng Hao didn't say anything, and even her expression and eyes didn't show any aggression, but Feng Shi still accurately captured the message that Meng Hao wanted to convey to her-Sapo? Yes, come, see if your bones are hard or your crutches are hard.
Although Shen Weide's wife looked down on Feng, she never treated Feng badly in terms of food and clothing.
Feng's crutch is made of dragon wood, which is known for its hard wood and extremely difficult to break, and Feng's old woman, who has been depleted of calcium for many years, has no stronger bones than dragon wood.
The frightened Feng Shi unconsciously became dumbfounded, and without her scolding voice, the inside and outside of the room suddenly became quiet as if no one was here at all.
Shen Weide's wife tried to hold back a smile.
This was the first time she had seen Feng Shi so knowledgeable about current affairs.
In the past, the Feng family could toss a lot more than today, not to mention the married daughter like Meng Hao, who came to the door as a guest, was Shen Weide's wife, the future hostess of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the Feng family was not without a scolding of her.
She is sure of Shen Weide's wife's background, and she will not detain her openly and secretly because she scolded her, so this old man is a little fearless.
Although Shen Weide's wife always tries not to meet Feng as much as possible, and even if she does, she will try her best not to let Feng have the opportunity to play on the topic, but after all, she and Feng have lived together in the same mansion for so many years, and it is impossible for her to completely avoid Feng's fault-finding.
If this is changed to a stronger personality and a smaller heart, it is possible to commit suicide by hanging himself from a beam in a humiliated manner.
Although Shen Weide's wife is not fragile to this point, she can take Feng's fault-finding as a deaf ear, but the most important reason is that Shen Weide and Mrs. Shen have already helped her with psychological construction.
On the first day that Shen Weide's wife married into the Shen family, they had already told Shen Weide's wife about what kind of character Feng was very predictively.
Although Shen Weide's wife didn't expect that the Houmen Mansion would have such an unrefined and serious master, but thinking of the Shen family's merchant background before the marquis and the Feng family's identity in the Shen family's house-filling, Shen Weide's wife did not continue to make a fuss.
But being able to endure and respond cleanly is definitely not the same thing.
The Lady of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, who had already cultivated to the realm of forbearance into steel, saw that Meng Hao had cleaned up the Feng family at this time, and no longer dared to speak foul language, and the joy in her heart could simply break through the sky.
Sure enough, any wise move to take care of the general situation and understand the overall situation is to wronged oneself, and it is not as refreshing as being happy and revenge.
"This is the old lady and the old lady of our Hou Mansion, my sister and brother-in-law are coming to give a gift to the two elders." Shen Weide's wife pretended not to notice Feng's purple pork liver face, and she motioned for her subordinates to bring the futon.
There is no way, although she is ten thousand unwilling for Meng Hao to kneel to the Feng family, but after all, the Feng family is the stepfamily of Old Man Shen, and in terms of reputation, Meng Zhen has to give Feng and Old Man Shen a big salute.
Of course, Meng Hao was also very aware of this, so she did not show any resistance.
However, at the moment when she and Su Shen were about to kneel, Old Man Shen suddenly put down the treasure bird cage in his hand, "Wait a while, wait a while, don't be busy kneeling first." ”
Feng also thought that Old Man Shen was dissatisfied with Meng Hao's disrespect to her, and was ready to make things difficult for Meng Hao and Su Shen to vent for her.
Just when she was moved by the fact that Old Man Shen was rare and reliable, and was about to cry a few times to make Old Man Shen even more angry, Old Man Shen actually said something completely unrelated to the incident just now.
He first glanced at Meng Hao a few times, and then asked Meng Hao coldly, "Since you are my granddaughter, will you also give me gifts according to the four seasons and eight festivals in the future?" ”
Meng Hao was stunned for a moment, but she quickly nodded decisively, "Yes." ”
Old Man Shen suddenly smiled, "Then what are you going to give me?" ”
Meng Zhen: ......
It was a surprise.
This was the first time she had an elder who asked for a gift from her in person.
Meng Hao was a little embarrassed, her fingers touched the tip of her nose, "You are... Got something you're looking for? ”
Old Man Shen cocked his thumb, "It's worthy of my granddaughter!" It's very good! ”
He beckoned Meng Hao to his side, "I want to set up a first-class private room in Cuiying Pavilion to listen to the play, bias your father's bastard thing, and don't let your sister-in-law give me so much money." ”
Meng Zhen: ......
As far as she knew, General Shen didn't mean to control the industries handed down by the Shen family's ancestors at all.
Although His Majesty the Emperor helped him make the decision at the beginning, so that he and Second Master Shen simply separated the family, the share of the Shen family's ancestral property belonging to General Shen, General Shen changed hands and handed it back to Old Man Shen.
In other words, General Shen's family now eats, drinks, wears, and wears... First, all the expenses should come from the great foundation laid by General Shen himself.
Old Man Shen not only got the share of the family property that originally belonged to his eldest son as private money, but also received a high-standard supply of food and clothing from General Shen's family together with the Feng family.
Although the original Shen family, the quantity and quality of the industry could not be compared with the existing Dingbei Hou Mansion, but after all, the old man Shen was only one person, and under the premise that General Shen also gave him a large amount of silver, the old man Shen was really not short of money.
The way he looks now, it is obvious that he doesn't want to use the industries in his hands.
And the reason why Meng Hao is so clear is because this is not the first time that Old Man Shen has made this kind of moth.
This old man has become a marquis since his eldest son, and he thinks very seriously about the property in his hands, not to mention that he uses it to supplement the second son whose family background is far inferior to General Shen, this old man is reluctant to even squander it himself.
General Shen didn't care about this, anyway, he gave Old Man Shen a fixed amount of money every year, and General Shen didn't care about what he wanted to do with Old Man Shen's own property.
On the contrary, the second master Shen, who has already got his own share of the industry, is extremely angry with his father's slamming.
His mother Feng didn't have any dowry, and the private money in her hand was not the money of the Shen family that she secretly withheld when she was in charge of the family in her early years, or the various shares given to her by the Hou Mansion when she was in Dingbei Houfu later.
But even so, Feng still did not stop subsidizing his children and grandchildren.
Second Master Shen's family came to the Hou Mansion so diligently, and there was also the reason why the Feng family would always make up for them.
But he is also a parent, but Old Man Shen doesn't have Feng's loving heart at all.
