Sheng Yanqing raised her hand, grabbed her shoulder, pointed to the lotus flowers on the lotus pond that were budding and ready to bloom, and said, "It's nothing, let's continue to look at the flowers." ”

Wu Xinping was stunned for a moment, and she leaned towards Sheng Yanqing's side quietly.

With the faint fragrance of tea lingering around him, he has a long figure, a handsome face, and a warm embrace in his arms. It was the first time she was so close to him, and Wu Xinping felt her heart skip a beat.

While speaking, Sheng Yanqing looked at the bushes over there out of the corner of her eye, but found that Shen Yu and Shen Huai'an were no longer there.

Sheng Yanqing had no intention of visiting the garden at all, so she found an excuse to send Wu Xinping back. As soon as he walked outside the courtyard gate, a steward hurriedly came, saying that there was a little fork in front of him.

Wu Xinping blinked her eyes and said empathetically, "Brother Yanqing, let's go get busy, I'll just go in by myself." ”

Seeing Sheng Yanqing walking away, Wu Xinping did not return to the old lady, but quietly slipped into another room......

Outside the door, a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with colorful butterflies stayed for half a moment, and then quietly left.

On the other side, Shen Yu didn't want to save Shen Huai'an's face, there were many guests today, and the two families were embarrassed in public, even if she knew that he had bad intentions, she still suppressed her anger.

Shen Yu married for Miss Shen, for unknown reasons, only when Shen Yu received the favor of the Shen family and volunteered to marry to the Sheng family.

Everyone knows that Sheng Yanming is not in good health, and Shen Yu was widowed as soon as she passed the door, which also verified other people's conjectures.

The Shen family's rhetoric to the outside world is that they recognize Shen Yu as their goddaughter, and in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Huai'an is her brother.

Sheng Jinxu ran over with a kite in his hand, he hugged Shen Yu's leg and said, "Mother, shall we fly a kite?" ”

Shen Yu touched Sheng Jinxu's head and said softly: "Xu'er, my mother will send guests in a while, and we will release the kite another day." ”

She was afraid that Sheng Jinxu would run around, so she said matter-of-factly: "The kite must be windy to fly, the sun is high today, where does the wind come from, you put the kite away first, and then we will fly it together when the wind is blowing." ”

Sheng Jinxu was convinced of Shen Yu's words, threw the kite to Noble, took out a piece of candy from his pocket, and opened his mouth to gnaw on it.

Shen Yu hurriedly snatched the candy and said solemnly: "Xu'er, how did my mother tell you that you are only allowed to eat three pieces of sugar a day, how many pieces are these?" If you eat too much sugar, your teeth will be decayed! ”

Sheng Jinxu pursed his lips, looking aggrieved.

Shen Huai'an squatted down, touched Sheng Jinxu's head, and said, "Xu'er, listen to your mother." ”

Sheng Jinxu hid behind Shen Yu and asked timidly, "Who are you?" ”

Shen Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "I'm your uncle." ”

Sheng Jinxu saw Shen Huai'an for the first time, and waited for his eyes to look at him for a while, Shen Yu hurriedly said: "Treasure, take the little young master to play elsewhere." Take care of him, and don't let him eat sugar today. ”

Noble left with Sheng Jinxu in his arms, and Shen Yu was still holding the piece of candy in his hand.

Shen Huai'an was about to speak again, but Shen Yu intercepted his words and said, "I know what you are going to say, raising children for others, right?" I have my own reasons for what I do, and I don't need other people's comments. ”

"Young Master Shen, the table outside should also be withdrawn at this time, I still have to be busy, and I am out of company."

Shen Huai'an stood in place, looking at Shen Yu's back, full of reluctance, he said to himself: "Ayu, one day you will know that I am right." You want to stay in the Sheng family, but if the Sheng family is gone, will you come back to see me? ”

The banquet was at noon, after eating, drinking tea for a while, watching the play, and in the afternoon the guests left one after another.

The old lady seemed to have endless words with Mrs. Wu, and before leaving, she asked someone to take out a few bags of good tea and give them to Mrs. Wu.

This is a new spring tea picked this spring, and it is very expensive in the market.

Mrs. Wu said shyly: "Old lady, today we are a guest to give you a birthday gift, how can there be any reason to ask for your things again?" ”

The old lady said: "The Sheng family lacks everything else, but there is no shortage of this tea, don't be polite." She looked at Wu Xinping, "Xinping, I like this child, and I will come to the house more often when I have time in the future, and talk to my old woman, which is better than anything else." ”

Wu Xinping smiled sweetly, revealing two pear vortices on her face, "Xinping wrote it down." ”

Shen Yu sent Mrs. Wu out, and before leaving, Wu Xinping affectionately took Shen Yu's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, the pastries on the dinner table today are very good." We also have an oven at home, and I will also make some pastries, and I will make them for you when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

Shen Yu smiled, "That couldn't be better." ”

Seeing Mrs. Wu's carriage go away, Hexiang hugged Shen Yu upset: "I really don't know what the old lady likes about this Miss Wu, she is delicate, she speaks pretendiously, and she is also sister-in-law, she has not married into the Sheng family, so she will call her sister-in-law, it's too shameless." ”

Shen Yu said: "The Wu family is a scholarly family, with a positive family style and a great reputation, which is also unique in Qingshui Town. Besides, the Wu family is not far from Qingshui Town, and they know the roots. The second young master is capable, and marrying a daughter-in-law is naturally virtuous and introverted, and it is enough to be like Wu Xinping. ”

Hexiang stuck out her tongue, "Miss, you're not telling the truth, are you?" How do I hear it weirdly, I see that this room full of girls, none of them are worthy of the second master, and Wu Xinping is even less worthy. ”

Shen Yu said: "Whether you are worthy or not, it's not up to you and me to have the final say." ”

He Xiang also wanted to talk about the gossip she had heard in private, but when she caught a glimpse of Shen Yu's gloomy face, she knew that she was serious and didn't dare to say any more.

When Wu Xinping and Mrs. Wu returned home, the family gathered around the round table in Limu, drinking tea brought back from the Sheng family, and thinking about what happened during the day today.

Mrs. Wu was still a little unconvinced, "If you want to say that now the son-in-law brother of Qingshui Town, Sheng Yanqing dares to rank second, no one dares to rank first." A few years ago, I heard that Sheng Yanqing was the heart of the old lady, and if she wanted to marry, she was naturally one in a hundred, and she had not decided for so many years. Listening to the old lady's meaning today, it seems that she intends to marry our Wu family. ”

Master Wu glanced at his daughter lovingly, "If you want me to say, our precious girl is more than enough for Sheng Yanqing." ”

"Come on!" Mrs. Wu's face was full of disdain, "You haven't counted the Wu family's family background in your own heart?" In the past few years, the paper and pen business has been sluggish, and the little industry left by your Wu family ancestors does not know how many years it will last. You can also see the pomp of the Sheng family today, how many tables are there inside and outside, famous opera troupes in the provincial capital, Western movies, and those chefs, how much does this birthday banquet cost. ”

"Look at the Sheng family's house again, how many yards are inside and out, and there are corridors and gardens along the way, and I am dizzy when I go around. Don't look at this yard, which piece of decoration is attentive, at first glance it seems to be very ordinary, you stop and ponder, are exquisite. ”

Thinking of the prosperity of the Sheng family's compound and the pomp and circumstance at the birthday banquet, Mrs. Wu yearned for it.

Master Wu didn't care, "When you see this, people will naturally put it out well." I don't want to watch you get caught up in money and push our precious daughter into the fire pit. ”

"What is a fire pit? Isn't your Wu family a fire pit? When I got married, I said that I was a scholarly family with a thick background, but I found out after the door that it turned out to be a lie. I would rather marry someone who is rich, can do business, and live a good life. Mrs. Wu said indignantly.

Master Wu had nothing to say, and lowered his head to drink tea.

After the quarrel, Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter on the side, "Xinping, you talk to your father, what do you think?" ”
