Chapter 5 Leverage

Shen Yu wouldn't think that she was with her because of the second lady's words.

The words of the second lady seemed to be scolding the eldest lady for her hard life, but in fact, the name of "Kefu" was smashed on her!

As long as this reputation spreads, if there is anything going on in the Sheng family in the future, people will all count her here!

Shen Yu sarcastically said: "Today's mourning hall is on fire, and I haven't even figured out whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, so I hurriedly buttoned my hat on the head of the younger generation, and it is really a 'compassionate' elder!" ”

These words not only scolded the second lady, but even the eldest lady who slapped her just now.

Song Baoqin was squeezed by Shen Yu, and even said angrily: "Where is there a junior who talks like this?!" What kind of tutor are you?! Do you want me to teach you a lesson myself? ”

"How about Yanming's daughter-in-law, I don't need you one or two to teach me a lesson!"

The majestic old man's voice came from the main gate of Jiaxi Courtyard, and I saw Sheng Yanqing, who had just left, carrying the old lady in, and the few people inside had no choice but to salute her first.

"Ancestor, this girl's mouth is not clean just now, how can the daughter-in-law see her so rude? I'm about to teach her the rules! ”

The old lady's sharp gaze swept over the second lady, and said in a deep voice: "You yourself have thoroughly understood the rules of the Sheng family?" In the Sheng family, there has never been anything to embarrass juniors for no reason! If you don't know what it means to 'lead by example,' go and copy the house rules a hundred times! Mother Tao, send the second lady back. ”

"Ancestor ......"

The old lady didn't have time to listen to her nonsense, so she directly asked someone to take her away.

Across the mountain, the old lady came out with a trick, and the eldest lady was a little more honest.

Shen Yu lowered her eyelashes, and said in her heart that the old lady was really Jiang Gui's nature, old and spicy.

When she was thinking about the old lady, the old lady was also looking at her, and suddenly said: "Daughter-in-law Yanming, you just said that the fire in the mourning hall today may be a man-made disaster?" ”

Shen Yu already had a plan in her heart, and said slowly: "Back to the ancestors, my granddaughter-in-law knelt in the mourning hall today, and felt a hot wind in the second half of the night, and looked around and found that the curtains in the mourning hall were burning. Although there are incense and candles in the mourning hall, they are all placed on the high platform according to the rules, and even if there is a fire in an improper place, the curtains should not be burned first. ”

If it is a candle fire, the first thing to suffer should be the spirit card.

As soon as she finished replying, Xie Changli brought someone over there.

"Old lady, I have already taken someone to inspect it just now, and the fire in the mourning hall this time is really strange...... A copper kettle was found under the window, which seemed to have been filled with tung oil. ”

Tung oil, ignited in case of fire. It's a good fuel.

It is almost certain that someone deliberately started the fire with tung oil.

Shen Yu exhaled softly and slowly hugged the spirit card in her arms. She was also miserable enough, first she was almost poisoned, and two days later she was almost burned to death.

At this time, everyone found out that the eldest grandmother had brought out the uncle's spirit card. The old lady and the eldest lady also saw it, but the old lady was unfathomable, but the eldest lady was full of hatred.

"Changli, you work hard tonight, take someone to arrange the mourning hall in Fuyunju, and go out of the funeral tomorrow normally." The old lady set the tone for the matter resolutely, "I don't want to hear half a word about tonight's events outside. Nothing happened, all remembered? ”

Everyone hurriedly said yes.

After speaking, the old lady glanced at Shen Yu, and added: "Daughter-in-law Yanming, do you remember?" ”

Shen Yu's heart sank, the old lady was warning her not to talk nonsense.

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law knows."

This night, everyone in the Sheng family did not sleep soundly.

On the second day of the uncle's funeral, although Shen Yu didn't have to show her face outside, she was busy until the evening before she took a breath.

Not long after sitting down, Mother Chen, who was beside the eldest lady, came over with a stack of scriptures.

"The eldest lady said, let the eldest grandmother finish copying these scriptures tonight and pray for the uncle."

She threw down the scriptures domineeringly, and squeezed Shen Yu coldly before staggering away.

The lotus fragrance puffed up the scriptures, and said distressedly: "Grandma has been busy for a day today, how can she still copy the scriptures?" The eldest lady is clearly embarrassed! Grandma, let's go to the old lady for a review, shall we? ”

Shen Yu waved her hand, flipped through two pages casually, and said, "Disturbing the ancestors with such a trivial matter, it is not my time to be a junior." Hexiang, you go and rest first, you don't have to come to the vigil today. ”

"Big grandma!"

Shen Yu looked at her with a smile, but there was firmness in her eyes that could not be disobeyed.

Hexiang couldn't, so she had to go down and rest.

Shen Yu waited for her to leave before she put the stack of scriptures aside and didn't look at them much. It's just to use the light of the candle to sort out the uncle's old things.

Uncle Sheng Yanming, who had never met before, was an elegant person during his lifetime, and in addition to the account books in the shop, he also left a lot of rare books. Shen Yu was a lover of reading in her last life, and when she got these books, she naturally couldn't let go of them, lit the lamp, and finished reading the book "Tea Ceremony Suo" in one night.

When the sky was about to dawn, Shen Yu packed up her books and stretched.

In her previous life, when she saw this book, it was already mutilated, but she didn't expect the Sheng family to hide a rare book. If you let the old man know, you have to envy her.

Thinking of this, he pulled out a brazier from under the bed, threw the scriptures sent by the eldest lady last night into the brazier, lit a candle and burned it clean.

Early in the morning, Chen's mother really came over to ask for the scriptures, Shen Yu rubbed her eyes, and said, "I finished copying the scriptures last night, and I burned them for the uncle." Oh, Chen's mother didn't believe it, and the ashes hadn't had time to be collected yet. ”

Mother Chen looked at her suspiciously: "How can the eldest grandmother not show it to the eldest lady after copying the scriptures?" You burned it so pretentiously, who knows if you copied it or not? ”

Shen Yu was not annoyed, but said: "The scriptures are Buddha things, and the more you handle them, the more unclean they become, and they are far less pious than burning them as soon as they are written." I've heard that the old lady did the same in her room. ”

She moved out of the old lady to speak, and Mother Chen wanted to say more, but she was pushed back by Hexiang: "How can Mother Chen be so good at handling people?" You don't look into the eyes of our grandmother! Stay up all night and stay up red! The lights in my grandmother's room were on all night last night, if my mother doesn't believe me, just ask! ”

Mother Chen stopped talking, and went to reply to the eldest lady with a face.

Shen Yu didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The eldest lady has been defeated by her many times, and sooner or later she will have to make up for it.

This copying of the scriptures is about the beginning - the mother-in-law has to embarrass the daughter-in-law who has just entered the door, and there is a way.

Taking advantage of the fact that the eldest lady had not yet come up with a new move, she instructed Hexiang to dig out the objects left by the original owner. I couldn't help but smile when I saw that there was a box with clothes and shoes for my future in-laws.

"Hexiang, how are you doing with needlework?"

"Grandma, I used to be in the sewing room." Hexiang was a little proud, "At that time, Mother Zhang in the sewing room praised me for my dexterity!" ”

"That's good."

Shen Yu held the delicate embroidery warm hat and pointed to her: "You immediately remove the turmeric edge of the outer edge of this warm hat, replace it with crow blue, and send it directly to the old lady after it is done. ”
