Chapter 162: Soft-hearted
The school also got out of school, Luo Qilang stayed for a while to talk to Zhao Fuzi, and now that he is Xie Yuan, Zhao Fuzi has spent more time on him, and often has to stay and open a small stove alone.
Xianrui motioned for Fei Fei to slowly accept her book, and when Luo Qilang finished asking, the two of them walked out together.
"By the way, why didn't you see Second Young Master Xie today?" Xianrui spoke softly.
Luo Qilang said lightly: "Xie Er has gone to She's house, Old Lady She is not in good health, and I will go over later to take a look." ”
As he spoke, he saw Shen Min walking by in small steps, smiling and greeting her, which was not at all different from the faint temperament of Xianrui just now, and his words were pleasant, and when Shen Min walked in, he realized that this person was faintly angry, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong today?" ”
Shen Min saw him smiling happily, and his tone was not good: "Laughing like this? But what's so funny? ”
Luo Qilang shook his head inexplicably and replied to her: "No." He just looked at her happily, and now he has a lot of entertainment every day, and the middle feed of the Hou Mansion has also taken it over and pinched it in his hand, except for the opening of the school every day, it will be difficult to see this person every day.
Shen Min looked at Luo Qilang coldly, and his tone was cold: "Then what are you laughing at, picking up money?" ”
Luo Qilang's smile condensed slightly.
Xianrui next to him couldn't stand it, coughed, and squeezed in to say: "Shen Min, it's not good to talk to Brother Luo like this." ”
Shen Min disagreed, walked over to help Xianrui, and said Luo Qilang's small words to her in a light tone: "He is stupid and virtuous all day long, and the eldest girl is too close to him." ”
Xianrui waved her hand to Luo Qilang embarrassedly, and was taken away by Shen Min, and couldn't help asking, "But what happened?" Chunrou is causing trouble for you again? It shouldn't be, the sisters and adults are not here today, who dares to provoke you, you tell me, although I am not useful, but I am also a master in the end. ”
Shen Min looked at Xianrui with a smile: "I have been serving the eldest girl for a long time, and I finally heard the girl say two imposing words." ”
Fei Fei on the side said: "The girl is a gentle and silent character, it doesn't matter if you suffer a loss, you fight for her, and she also advises you not to worry about it, but if you care about being bullied, even if you can't afford to provoke it, you have to fight." ”
Shen Min sighed, Fei Fei's eyes were Shanshan, and she whispered: "In Nanzhili before, the slave maid was wronged by the lady of the mansion for stealing a basket of lychees because of her greed, or the eldest girl fought hard to let the slave and maid get rid of the board, Sister Shen Min, you didn't look at it, the momentum scared the slave and maid so much that they wanted to admit the false accusation directly, for fear that the girl and people would fight!" ”
Xianrui just smiled lightly, holding Shen Min and Feifei's hands left and right, and her eyes were sincere: "In my heart, you two are no different from my family, if I can't even protect you, it will be difficult to protect my heart for you." ”
She paused, looked at Shen Min, and asked, "But what are the difficulties of your relatives from your family, and they are in trouble to help?" ”
Shen Min shook his head: "The slave and maid have no blood relatives except for Mama Zhang, and the old lady of Daddy's relative broke off the relationship in the early years." ”
Xianrui didn't ask any more questions when she heard this, but said, "The people in this mansion don't treat you as an outsider." ”
has lived in the mansion for most of the year, she can see it, Shen Min said that it was the deputy lady of the second-floor master, but the girl's personal girl was not the same as the deputy miss?
Shen Min's status in the mansion is more like a decent lady with no name, and in addition to her reputation, the power in her hand is afraid that it is very great, and even the other three Rui sometimes have to ask her for what she wants, and occasionally Grandma Nuan has no one to discuss, and she will invite this person over.
Luo Qilang, who was behind, looked at the two people who left, was stunned for a moment, pointed to Shen Min's back and asked Luo Zhou: "What's wrong with this person?" ”
Luo Zhou said silently: "It is estimated that when I encountered something bad, I saw the eldest young master smiling happily, and I was worried that I couldn't find a fire, so I gave you two powerful sentences." "I dare to jump and jump on my master's head, and I'm afraid that if you change someone, you'll be the first seven.
"Who else dares to mess with her in this mansion?" The corners of Luo Qilang's mouth hooked, and Grandma Nuan could give her a private pass, except for a few leading masters in the British Mansion, this person has the highest power.
Luo Zhou immediately understood the meaning of his words, and arched his hand: "The little one understands, so let's go and investigate." ”
"Not necessarily." Luo Qilang knocked the handle of the fan in his hand on the palm of his hand, and smiled faintly: "She is used to being a person who will not suffer." "Managing too much makes this person want to be angry with her, anyway, with him, she can do whatever she wants in the capital.
***
The next day, Shen Min gave Xianrui leave, pinched the field shop that Mama Zhang had purchased over the years, and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs were handed over to Mrs. Zhang's reassuring people to take care of together, she only went to take a look at the approximate land, she didn't care about the property that Mama Zhang bought for her outside these years, and now that she wants to accept it, she naturally has to take a good look.
It was already afternoon when he returned from the suburbs, and Shen Min came out of Buzhuang and went to Qianzhuang to check the amount of cash, but was blocked by an old woman who was over half a hundred years old.
Shen Min glanced at the old woman, and before she could speak, she saw Tian walking over from the side, and she immediately reprimanded: "You dare to come and block my way?" ”
Who knew that the old woman looked at Shen Min is tears, and then choked up in her tone: "Sister Min, I am your own grandmother!" ”
Shen Min frowned and was about to leave, Tian grabbed Shen Min's arm, and pleaded: "Sister Min, this time there is really no way for the family to ask for your mother and son to help, even if your aunt begs you, is it okay, your sister's husband's family is a good family, originally our family's dowry was enough, but it was taken by your uncle to gamble, and the family will pick up your sister in the fifth day." ”
"I don't have a sister, my mother only gave birth to me." Shen Min looked at the person who claimed to be her own grandmother and was not polite at all, and sneered: "It's really a real grandmother, I haven't seen her for fourteen years, and it's money when you open your mouth?" Do you still want to rely on the old and sell the old for the old disrespect? Really, if I am my mother, I can give silver with two drops of horse urine? ”
"What, when you see that I'm single, you still want to grab money? Want to take a trip to Jingzhao Yin Yamen? Shen Min lowered his head and said unceremoniously to the two people who stood in the way: "Don't let me go yet!" ”
When the words fell, the old woman was about to kneel down for Shen Min: "All the mistakes are grandmother's fault, but grandmother was also a woman's family, where did she become the master of men, now you are eating and drinking well in the British mansion, and it is also because your old man saved the dead old British father, the masters remember those two favors, and they have promoted you a lot, even so, you can help your sister too!" ”
Tian wiped his tears and pleaded: "Good boy, my aunt is really helpless, you can hate us as elders, but the younger brothers and sisters in the family can't hate, they are all innocent, your sister also made corn cakes for you, you ate them twice when you were a child, and the British Mansion didn't have this kind of thing to eat, I'll go back and tell your sister, your sister is riveting enough to do a good job, and now, the best thing she does is corn cakes......"
Seeing that someone was coming around, Shen Min took a deep breath, looked at the old woman, thought about what Mama Zhang had said about the situation in his Lao Tzu's house, stepped back, and adjusted his tone: "Old lady, let's talk about it, I'm not afraid of you crying and making trouble, even if you die in front of me today, I won't blink, but it's better to think about the girl who is going to get married." ”
Tian was busy helping her mother-in-law, Qian's mother, and followed Shen Min to the alley next to her.
Shen Min glanced at the two of them impatiently, but did not speak.
Mother Qian, who followed up, cried directly: "Good boy, I know you hate us so much, but you have seen your cousin, didn't you like her when you were a child, grandmother didn't go to see you, she didn't have the face to see your mother and daughter, and then she had the courage to do this, and Mrs. Zhang didn't allow me to get close to you, I ...... me"
"What, you still want to say that my old lady is not?" Shen Min frowned.
"Grandmother didn't-" Mother Qian saw Shen Min's cold gaze, and immediately changed her words: "I didn't mean that, I know that you are blessed by the old lady in the British Mansion, and I am happy for you, you don't recognize us elders, we deserve it, but your sister and brother should also recognize it. ”
"You don't?" Shen Min was very funny, and his tone was a little cold: "Not to mention where you coaxed my mother over the years, just my father's inheritance at the beginning, I'm afraid it's not a small amount!" "His own father was the first-class steward of the old British duke's side.
Mother Qian choked up and said: "All of your aunts and uncles have been defeated, you are a good girl, your aunt and I only learned the day before yesterday that the marriage was spent by her son, we dare not tell your cousin, your cousin is a strong character, we must not be allowed to come to you, this money, for you, I am afraid that it is not enough to buy a body, you can help, okay?" ”
Shen Min turned sideways and didn't say a word, Tian knelt down directly for her, pulling the hem of her clothes: "You can't kill everyone with one shot because of your mother's words, I don't think I'm sorry for your mother and daughter, the silver was all my family funds, and it was the British mansion where I begged someone to take your mother and daughter back!" ”
"Over the years, your uncle has shamelessly gone to your mother, I have only been there five times, and there are two times when you asked me to bring you corn cakes, you can ask your mother, I will, I will only give you two sets of clothes that you don't want for your cousin, and half a box of dragon beard cakes that you don't want to eat!"
"Silver, I took fifty taels of silver, or Mrs. Zhang's mother next to me forced me to take it, and asked me not to go to you to find you, I know that Mrs. Zhang treats you as her granddaughter, and you are not allowed to associate with relatives here, and I am afraid that you will be delayed by your messy aunt and uncle in the future, but, but, your cousin has your sister in her heart, if she marries that Xiucai smoothly, and waits for his husband to become a jinshi in the future, there will be someone in your mother's family!"
"Are you useless with the money my uncle brought back? Now you're going to say anything to ask for money! Shen Min didn't dare to be interested in the affairs of these relatives, and broke away from Tian's hand and grabbed her: "It's impossible to ask for money, you'd better remember my words, before daring to go to the British Mansion once, what I can do is definitely not what you imagined!" ”
Shen Min turned his head and walked out of the alley, Tian knelt on the ground and called Shen Min, who had begged several times, wiped her tears vigorously, and said to her mother-in-law who accompanied her: "It's our fault, if we stopped the family at the beginning, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it's ......."
Qian Mu also wiped her tears: "Okay, let's go back, this is how your life is......" As she was saying, she saw Shen Min turn back, which startled her.
Mother Qian hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I came today, first, I want to ask your mother and daughter for some silver for your sister, if you give it, even if the silver is borrowed, if not, I also want to see you, and it is my wish." ”
Shen Min took out a silver ticket worth two hundred from his cuff and handed it over, and said coldly: "Take it, I will help you for the last time this time." ”
Tian was stunned and took the money that Shen Min stuffed into his hand, and didn't speak, just watched Shen Min pull two tourmaline jade hairpins from his head, and took off a cherry blossom agate bracelet on his wrist and stuffed it into her hand.
Tian immediately stuffed the jewelry back for her, and refused: "These are very valuable, you can take them, you are an old lady's important girl, and you are a big girl who serves in front of you, you can't be without a panache." ”
Shen Min stepped back and said, "Just take it for you, just use it as the money for those corn cakes, don't come to me in the future, do you understand?" "In the baggage yesterday, in addition to her old clothes, there are only two hundred taels of silver tickets, and a land deed list is still pressed in the old clothes, I am afraid that I will only find it when I want to wear it.
She had no impression of what else Tian had left, but she still remembered a few corn cakes she had eaten as a child, and Mrs. Zhang also said that she ate too well in the mansion.
After saying that, she resolutely turned her head and left.
"Shen Min."
Shen Min saw that Qian's mother chased after her, and her footsteps paused slightly.
Mother Qian touched it in her arms for a long time and handed her a hairpin of ordinary color.
Qian's mother said flatteringly: "Shen Min, you will be in time next year, grandmother doesn't have much money, don't dislike it, keep it, grandmother can see you in this life, see that you are doing well, and go to see your father in the future and talk about you with her." ”
"I don't want it." Shen Min spoke coldly.
Mother Qian handed it over: "How can you not want it, the girls of Jilu have it, can it be the same as what others send and what relatives send, don't worry, grandmother won't bother you, take it, this is grandmother's own money, no one will use this hairpin to ask your mother and daughter for money." ”
Tian also came out, hugged Mother Qian, and said to Shen Min: "Sister Min, now that we admit our mistakes, you will only think that we just want to use this as a step to let you help more, and if you don't admit it, I am afraid that we hate us even more, but my aunt only said one word, you will have a powerful position in the future, and all kinds of grievances will come to us elders, your brothers and sisters were all young at that time, and some were not born yet, so I implore you to raise your noble hand." ”
Shen Min glanced at the hairpin, and raised his hand meaningfully with a pleading and expectant gaze at Mother Qian.
Mother Qian's eyes lit up, but she saw Shen Min take her hand back.
Shen Min avoided Qian's mother's sad expression, turned his eyes to the side, and said lightly: "If I write it off with you, my mother's sin will be in vain, you relatives, I will not recognize it in my life, and the money will be given to you, don't come to disturb my life and my mother's life in the future, otherwise, I won't let you go easily." ”
Seeing the person who turned to leave, Mother Qian was holding the hairpin in her hand, and the uncomfortable bottom body, Tian was busy holding the person and persuaded: "Mother, don't feel uncomfortable, now Shen Min is doing well, we should be happy for her, if the old lady Zhang protects the media in the future, wouldn't it be excellent, who can do Shen Min such a magnificent ...... of the family?"
"In the end, it's an errand to serve people, and I'm afraid that people will look down on people in the future." Mother Qian touched her tears: "Let's go, let's go back, we must not let those people in the family go to Shen Min's mother and daughter again in the future, otherwise, Shen Min's family affairs will be ruined on our side." ”
Tian snorted heavily: "In the end, she doesn't want to recognize us." ”
"It's right not to admit it." Mother Qian sighed: "I hope that God is a long-eyed person, give our sister Min a husband who is obedient to her." ”
Tian pinched the sweat towel and touched the corners of his eyes: "Yes, Sister Min will definitely get an uncle who holds her in the palm of her hand." ”
