There are two young masters in the Sheng family's big house, and Sheng Yanming is in charge of the Sheng family's business on the surface. But he was frail and sickly, so he could only look at the account books, write and calculate, and most of the business matters outside were taken care of by Sheng Yanqing.

Sheng Yanming is measured, Sheng Yanqing does not fight or grab, and the relationship between the two brothers is very good.

When Cai Wei was in Fuyunju, Sheng Yanqing often came to Sheng Yanming to drink tea and play chess.

The eldest lady should be happy that Sheng Yanming has such a help, and now that the Sheng family's business is all counting on Sheng Yanqing, Cai Wei can't figure out why the eldest lady has such a deep resentment.

Cai Wei was young, so she asked the old man of Ruyixuan.

The woman glanced up at Cai Wei, she didn't answer, but said with a gloomy face: "What are you doing when you ask about this, if you let the eldest lady know, be careful of your tongue." ”

Cai Wei didn't ask any more, she kept it in her heart.

The eldest lady was originally just stunned, but after knowing the affairs of the Lu family, she was depressed every day, and she couldn't afford to get sick.

The doctor invited me and took a lot of medicine, but it never got better.

In the courtyard of the Sheng family, it began to be rumored that Shen Yu was not filial, and she had a conflict with the eldest lady for the young master of the Shen family, and she couldn't afford to make the eldest lady angry.

Some people also said that the second master of the Sheng family was obsessed with his newly married and widowed sister-in-law, and put pressure on the eldest lady for her to target the eldest lady's maiden family.

Hexiang went to the laundry room to deliver dirty clothes, and heard a few mothers-in-law chewing the root of their tongues from a distance.

She threw the wooden basin on the ground with a "bang" and said, "You don't have to hide what you have to say, it's boring to talk secretly, come on, come on, be louder, let me listen too." ”

A mother-in-law said: "Sure enough, what master taught what slave, just like the master, he is not educated." ”

Another person said: "You are also from the Shen family, could it be that the young master of the Shen family arranged it by the side of the eldest young grandmother?" The eldest young master died inexplicably on the wedding night, shouldn't it have something to do with you? ”

"What nonsense are you guys! Why do you put all the on me! The lotus fragrance trembled.

She didn't bother to wash her clothes, and went back to Fuyunju with a wooden basin.

Shen Yu was teaching Sheng Jinxu to read and write in the house, and when she saw Hexiang coming back angrily with a wooden basin, she asked, "What's wrong?" Who messed with our aunt and grandma? ”

He Xiang sat on the chair and pouted: "Miss, I don't know who is spreading rumors behind my back, recently it has been rumored in the family that you have made the eldest lady angry, and you are still unclear with Young Master Shen and Second Master." ”

"This matter is obviously the eldest lady's first start, if she doesn't put you and Young Master Xu in the ancestral hall, how can Young Master Xu get sick, and how can there be anything later?"

Hexiang is a ** bucket, just a little bit, Shen Yu shook her head with a light smile and poured her a cup of tea.

The person who spreads rumors, needless to say, knows who it is, the eldest lady has a conflict with her, and the person who can profit is of course Cai Wei.

Shen Yu became more and more incomprehensible, Cai Wei seemed to want a lot more than money.

She originally thought that Cai Wei just wanted to use the child in her belly to make a ruthless accusation, but she sowed discord again and again, played with right and wrong, and made the Sheng family restless.

Rumors stop at the wise, but how can there be so many sensible people? They will belittle a person because of rumors, judge a person, and even maliciously slander a person.

Shen Yu also knew that this matter was not trivial, but it had already happened, and she couldn't do anything but wait for the turmoil to pass.

Hexiang was still indignant, and Shen Yu had no choice but to comfort her: "What are the rumors, it is indeed that I am angry with the eldest lady, and the second master has indeed taken back the shop in the hands of the Lu family because of the unreasonable behavior of the eldest lady." The most angry and depressed person now should be the eldest lady. ”

"After all, rumors are insignificant, and you can't get out of a bad breath, the grievances are true, and the losses of the Lu family are also true."

Hexiang thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but clap her hands and applaud, "Why didn't I think of it, let them say it if they want to say it, it doesn't matter." ”

Thinking of this layer, Hexiang happily went to wash clothes again.

In the next few days, Shen Yu did not go to the teahouse, first, she had to take care of the sick Sheng Jinxu, and secondly, the rumors outside were too strong, and Shen Yu didn't want to see other people's faces.

The snow on the eaves had melted, and Shen Yu held a cup of hot tea and read a book in front of the window.

"Yo, is Grandma busy?" Mother Tao walked in with a smile, "The old lady saw that the snow had disappeared, and wanted to talk to the young grandmother." ”

Shen Yu nodded and agreed, it has been more than ten days since the incident, and when the time comes, the old lady should also come forward.

When I arrived at Heshoutang, Mrs. Sheng was drinking tea on the couch with a stove.

"Daughter-in-law Sun has seen the old lady." Shen Yu blessed her body according to the rules.

The old lady sighed, she didn't let Shen Yu sit as usual, but drank a cup of tea slowly before raising her head to look at Shen Yu.

The old lady of the Sheng family is full of silver hair, and she can't be more kind on weekdays, but today she is not in the mood to joke.

Shen Yu stood in front of the old lady in a proper manner, letting her look at her, she didn't do anything wrong, and naturally she had a clear conscience.

The old lady looked Shen Yu up and down for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Youth and beauty, it is a good time, I am a widow at a young age, if it were me, I would be a little unwilling." ”

The old lady was silent for a moment, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes were confused for a moment.

Shen Yu knew that the old lady was talking about the recent gossip, she raised her head and met the old lady's gaze, "If the old ancestor has something to say, you might as well say it to your granddaughter-in-law." ”

Outside the window, a few birds flew by, chirping non-stop. Under the warm sunshine, the outside world is a lively scene, and it seems that there is more silence in the Tsurujudo.

The old lady sat in the warm sunlight under the window, she raised her eyes and glared at Shen Yu, "You are a cheerful person, but it is not a good thing for women to be too smart, too shrewd and capable." This world is, after all, the way of the world where men are the masters, women, and the most important thing is Qingyu. ”

Shen Yu lowered her eyelids, and there was a ripple in her clear eyes.

She used to admire the old lady from the bottom of her heart, and felt that she single-handedly kept the Sheng family's business and turned the Sheng family into a safe place. But now it seems that the old lady is a woman of the old times after all, and she thinks the same as the eldest lady, and regards the reputation of women as very important.

In their hearts, women have always been just appendages of men.

Shen Yu doesn't make too many comments on conceptual issues. The old lady of the Sheng family's point of view, she does not refute it, nor does she agree with it.

"Shen Yu, since you decided to stay in the Sheng family, you are the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family, and the rules of the Sheng family are greater than everything. The three archways standing outside have been seen by no one for a while, so you can go there and think about it. Old Madam Sheng said quietly.
