Chapter 143: Lantern Festival

Granny Jiang's eyes were crooked with a smile, and she nodded again and again.

When they went back, the two were still in the same car, with the driver sitting in the front and Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing sitting in the back seat.

The scenery outside the car window flies by, and from a distance, a large number of tea trees in the tea garden are sprouting new green, spring flowers are blooming, and the spring of all things recovery is coming.

Sheng Yanqing patted her shoulder and motioned for Shen Yu to lean over, "There will be a while when you go back, so let's rest if you are sleepy." ”

Shen Yu glanced at the driver, caught a glimpse of Sheng Yanqing's calmness, and knew that the driver was his own.

Like those people in the small village who took care of Granny Jiang, these people were under Sheng Yanqing's hands, and the eldest lady's hand couldn't reach here.

She pillowed Sheng Yanqing's broad and warm shoulders, and fell asleep in a daze as soon as she responded to a few words.

I slept soundly this night, and when I woke up, it was already dusk.

The car stopped under a tall plane tree on the side of the road, and the sunset colored the western sky with a strange beauty. The soft light shone on Sheng Yanqing's handsome face, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's getting dark so soon? Why don't you call me? Shen Yu sat up from her seat, and suddenly fell asleep.

Sheng Yanqing said: "Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to wake you up." ”

Shen Yu frowned, "We have been out all day, if we come back late, we may not be arranged how to ......"

Sheng Yanqing said indifferently, "Yesterday I told my grandmother that I was going to Hangzhou for a few days, and no one would know that you were with me." ”

"That's not going to work, I said I'm going to check Xu'er's homework." Shen Yu pouted, since he had arranged everything, he didn't say it in advance, so she was worried in vain.

She turned away and looked out the window at the golden sunset.

Sheng Yanqing leaned over and said, "Xu'er has Hexiang to take care of, so it's easy to come out and put down all the trivial things, and the current time belongs to the two of us." ”

Shen Yu nodded lightly, two red clouds floated on her cheeks, and there were indeed not many opportunities for the two of them to be alone.

Sheng Yanqing gently hugged her in her arms and kissed her forehead.

Soon, he let her go. He didn't dare to make too many moves, let alone surprise her. With the previous incident, he had to endure himself.

As long as she is still his sister-in-law for a day, he can't go beyond the rules. He could not leave her alone in danger, for he would marry her one day.

As the sky slowly darkened, the two of them returned to the town, and when they passed a village, the lights suddenly turned on the side of the road.

When she got closer, Shen Yu saw clearly that lanterns were hung on the trees on both sides of the road.

These lanterns are made in a variety of shapes, including marquee lanterns, lotus leaf lanterns, white rabbits and puppies, and they are very cute.

"Is there any holiday today?" Shen Yu asked.

Sheng Yan asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road and took Shen Yu's hand to enjoy the lights on the country road.

The soft light reflected on his handsome face, and he said lightly: "I wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with you, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." I made up these lanterns for you. ”

Shen Yu looked at the delicate lanterns hanging on the side, knowing that these were all carefully prepared by him, and his heart was sweet.

She is not a meticulous person, but he will help her remember many things.

After admiring the lanterns and eating a bowl of sweet and soft glutinous rice balls, Shen Yu was in a good mood, she took down a rabbit lamp from the shelf on the side and played with it in her hand.

Sheng Yanqing stared at the rabbit lamp for a long time, and some past events came to mind.

He said: "My mother is also very fond of rabbits, she has raised a litter of white rabbits with snow-white fur in the yard, and when it comes to the Lantern Festival, she will also make such rabbit lanterns." ”

Shen Yu was slightly stunned, this was the first time she had heard his mother from Sheng Yanqing's mouth.

Shen Yu lived in the Sheng family for half a year, and everyone kept Sheng Yanqing's biological mother secret. Shen Yu probably knew that his mother was the concubine of the previous head of the Sheng family, from a humble background, and passed away when he was a child.

Shen Yu raised the rabbit lamp in front of him, looked up and said, "When I was a child, my grandmother used to say that people will become stars in the sky after death, and my aunt must be the brightest star in the sky. She hopes that you will have a good life and will silently support you in heaven. ”

Sheng Yanqing looked up at the sky, the bright lights covered the brilliance of the stars, and a few starlights were faintly visible in the dark blue sky.

Shen Yu learned the child's tone and said, "Don't be unhappy, Tutu will always accompany you." ”

Sheng Yanqing lowered his eyes, he reached out and touched Shen Yu's hair and heart, and hugged her thin shoulders in his arms.

"Ayu, promise me that you will never risk me again." He whispered in her ear, "I've already lost a loved one and don't want to go through it again." ”

Shen Yu was hugged by Sheng Yanqing's broad shoulders, obviously warm, but she heard the porcelain-like fragile feeling from his tone.

She didn't agree, but said, "We'll be fine from now on, and nothing like this will happen again." This time, I was careless. ”

She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes were lightly covered, and there were some accounts, which should be settled.

In the next few days, Sheng Yanqing went on a business trip to Hangzhou. Because of the rumors of fornication before, in order to block the mouth of the quiet people, the old lady temporarily let Shen Yu recuperate at home.

With nothing to do, Shen Yu sat on the recliner in front of the window, holding a yellowed scroll in her hand and reading it carefully.

At noon, Xie Changli sent this month's monthly money.

Hexiang took the ticket, glanced at the numbers on it, and wondered: "Why is it only fifty yuan, isn't the monthly money of the young grandmother two hundred?" ”

Xie Chang looked embarrassed, "Miss Hexiang, the family's accounts are all in the hands of the eldest lady, and she is the one who shares the money this month." ”

Hexiang snorted lightly and muttered: "I knew that the eldest lady would not give up, so I was waiting here, and if I didn't say anything on the surface, I knew that I was wearing small shoes behind my back." Doesn't she just hold a grudge against the young grandmother for demolishing Cai Wei? If you have the ability to come to us, what kind of ability is the diaphragm who pokes and pokes secretly? ”

The lotus fragrance was sprinkled on Xie Changli's body, and he froze in place with an embarrassed expression, not knowing how to answer.

"Thank you, housekeeper, hard work, I have received the money, thank you for me, Mrs." Shen Yu said with a light smile and gave Xie Changli a look.

Hexiang is a straight person, and he knows restraint in front of outsiders, but in front of Xie Changli, he will turn people red in the face in a few words.

The lotus incense was not finished yet, staring at Xie Changli's back, and said, "Miss, what are you doing letting him go, he is tactful, he didn't take the benefits of the second master in private, and he didn't necessarily say anything good for us in front of the eldest lady." ”

Thinking of next month's expenses, Hexiang sighed and said, "I only have fifty yuan a month next month, but I have to tighten my belly." ”

Shen Yu pushed the teacup in front of Hexiang and smiled lightly, "You can't say that, the eldest lady doesn't remember that we are Fuyunju, but these people below can't be harsh." Besides, I just cleaned up the yard a while ago, and everyone worked hard. ”

Shen Yu has a lot of shops and real estate under her name, some of which are the dowries of the Shen family, and some are left to her by Sheng Yanming.
