Chapter 149: Whose Fault Is It?
After eating, Shen Yu came out of Heshoutang and met the eldest lady who had been waiting for her for a long time in the back garden.
She called out softly, "Mother-in-law." ”
The eldest lady held back the fire in her belly, and when she saw Shen Yu coming over, she snorted coldly: "Don't dare to be, others think you are my daughter-in-law, but they don't know that you are the ancestor of our big house, and everyone will follow you." My son Yanming's hard-earned family business is now going to fall into your hands. ”
Shen Yu stood up straight, her calm eyes looked at the eldest lady, and said lightly: "Mother-in-law, I don't know what you mean by this, daughter-in-law." If it weren't for you conniving at Cai Wei and asking her to frame me and the second master, the old lady would not have lost trust in me, let alone have a dislike for the second master, and it would not be the turn of the people in the second room to interfere in business matters. ”
"If you want to complain, then you can only complain about Caiwei, and besides, you should reflect on yourself."
Shen Yu's tone was very calm, and her attitude was gentle, but her words were heart-wrenching, and the eldest lady immediately became angry, her angry head was dizzy, and she almost stumbled to the ground.
She clenched her fists tightly and said coldly: "It's not your turn to meddle in my business, the child in Cai Wei's belly will soon be full-term, what you should think about now is where you and the wild seed brought from outside should go." ”
"Don't bother my mother-in-law." Shen Yu bowed and swaggered away.
"You...... You prostitute! You don't have to die well! The eldest lady stretched out her hand and pointed at Shen Yu and cursed viciously.
Leaving Heshoutang, Shen Yu first went back to Fuyunju, and then, she changed the clothes worn by the maid and quietly went to the back garden.
In the wine cellar behind the rockery, Sheng Yanqing was already waiting.
The candlelight flickered so much that Shen Yu couldn't open her eyes, but the fragrance of tea in the small room made her feel at ease.
She straightened her skirt and sat across from the tea table. The cellar was built behind a stone wall, carefully smoked with incense, and then covered with a moisture-proof carpet, and the small room was clean and warm.
Sheng Yanqing looked up at her, her eyes full of stars. He had something in his heart that he wanted to say to her.
The Sheng family's business has always been taken care of by him, even if he leaves the Sheng family and Qingshui Town, he can live well.
It's just that Sheng Yanqing has always had one thing in his heart that he can't give up, so he can't give Shen Yu any promises.
Fortunately, she never asked.
Every time they were alone in the cellar, the two of them would think of the days to come, and there was a moment of silence in the small room.
A lamp was lit on the table, and tea boiled over the fire beside it.
Sheng Yanqing got up to make tea, Shen Yu thought of something and asked, "At today's family banquet, why didn't you answer your grandmother's words?" She didn't really want to hand over the business affairs to the second room. ”
"Knowingly asked." Sheng Yanqing put down the kettle, reached out and scratched Shen Yu's nose, she narrowed her eyes reflexively, and her long eyelashes hung down, like a small fan.
A smile bloomed on her cheeks, and she smiled sweetly, and said, "How old are you, and you are still as angry as a child." Grandmother is the head of the entire Sheng family, she can't favor anyone because of her selfishness, and she can only do business when necessary.
If you keep being angry with her, you can only benefit from the second room. Besides, the customer we finally found was so cheap Sheng Yanwei, and I don't know how much money we will lose this time. ”
Sheng Yanqing pinched her cheek, "You little money fan, now you have started to take care of the accounts?" Rest assured, Sheng Yanwei wants to take this business, but he can't do it. ”
Shen Yu was puzzled, she asked again, but Sheng Yanqing refused to say it anyway.
Shen Yu only thought that he had an idea, so he moved on to another topic, "I don't want to come here in the future." When we are like this, it always seems that we are stealing and loving. ”
Sheng Yanqing was silent, only staring at the tea in her hand, "Ayu, it's going soon." When the matter at hand is resolved, I won't let you be wronged. ”
"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded and didn't ask any further. After all, it's not easy to stay together every moment now.
Sheng Yanqing came back from Hangzhou and brought back some Hangzhou silk, which was available in every courtyard.
Xie Changli came to deliver something, took out a box and said, "Grandma, this is what the second master specially asked me to send." ”
Hexiang took the thing and said with a smile: "Thank you butler." ”
When it was opened, there were several delicate small objects inside, a delicate silk umbrella, a set of purple clay pots, and a box of Hangzhou white chrysanthemums, all of which were specialties of Hangzhou.
Then there is a good inkstone, which is for Sheng Jinxu.
Hexiang said: "The second master came this time, and he also brought me a sachet from Hangzhou, and brought ready-to-wear clothes to Laifu." Every time he comes back from a business trip, Fuyunju is like a festival, and everyone has a gift. ”
"It's like I've been treating you badly!" Shen Yu deliberately said with a straight face, "He is inviting people to buy people's hearts, and when he uses you back, he will know that things are not taken for nothing." ”
Hexiang pursed her lips, "Miss, just admit it, the second master has a heart, except for Fuyunju, why don't you see who he is so attentive to?" ”
"It's getting poorer!" Shen Yu glared at Hexiang and went to the inner room with the box.
Hangzhou's silk is famous all over the world, and the blue silk umbrella is painted with a few budding peach blossoms, which is fresh and elegant. Shen Yu likes tea and everything related to tea, and the purple clay pot is even more popular. As for the box of Hangzhou white chrysanthemum, it clears away heat and dissolves fire, and it is very useful in spring.
Xie Changli said outside the door, "Grandma, the second master also asked me to say that the gifts are still exchanged, and I asked you if you have any return gifts?" ”
Shen Yu said: "Is he here to give gifts or to ask for something?" Others return the gift all depending on the mood, he is good, and he opens his mouth directly. ”
While talking, Shen Yu looked around a lot, and there were some ornaments on display in the inner room, but these were all very ordinary, and there was nothing new.
Looking up and seeing a plum blossom blooming outside the window, she leaned out, cut it with scissors, and inserted it into a white porcelain vase.
Xie Changli returned to Fenglin Garden with a vase, Sheng Yanqing saw it, and said with a smile: "Giving a plum blossom as a gift, only she can think of it." ”
The sparse shadow is horizontally and shallow, the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon, and the lonely plum blossom makes Sheng Yanqing think of the moonlight in the courtyard of Fuyunju.
He said to his subordinates: "Put away the vase well, and don't let the branches die." ”
After thinking about it, only a few plum blossoms were planted in the courtyard of Fuyunju, which was too monotonous in the spring, and he said: "The flowers in the back garden are also gradually blooming, go to the back garden every day to pick some and send them to Fuyunju." ”
Since that day, Fuyun Juli has always been full of flowers, and Shen Yu's plum blossoms have been exchanged for a full garden of spring, and the lotus fragrance is amazing.
Laifu looked clear and said: "Sister Hexiang, you don't understand this, the second master and the eldest and young grandmothers, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so they don't account for the gains and losses!" ”
Hexiang glanced at Laifu, "I don't understand, you understand!" ”
Laifu grimaced, and Hexiang made a gesture to fight, so frightened that he ran away.
Sheng Jinxu shook his head and sat under the window to recite books, while Shen Yu sat at the tea table to make tea, and Fuyun was happy.
Every now and then, Shen Yu couldn't help but think that if Granny Jiang was here, everything would be fine.
