Xu Xinyue seemed to like Gu Yu very much, so she came over twice in three days after that. She didn't say anything else when she came, just gathered around the nurse and Gu Yu.

Hexiang was a little worried: "Miss, the third young grandmother won't be the same as before, last time she framed you for fornicating with the second master, and almost killed you, how can this matter be so easy to forget?" ”

Shen Yu said: "Of course I remember this incident, and she should also remember it in her heart." But don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, since the person is here, we have no reason to drive her away. ”

Xu Xinyue can't give birth to herself, and when she sees a milk doll like Gu Yu, it makes sense to like it.

Hexiang pouted, "Then I have to keep an eye on her, who knows what kind of tricks she has, we were hurt enough by her last time." ”

The old lady's birthday is just around the corner, Shen Yu is busy going in and out, arranging this and that, she really can't take care of the affairs of the family, Hexiang volunteered, she patted Hexiang on the shoulder and said: "The things in the yard will be handed over to you, keep an eye on everything." ”

This birthday banquet is a big event, in addition to the Sheng family's relatives, but also to invite the merchants of Qingshui Town.

In Qingshui Town, the Sheng family is undoubtedly the largest business, and half of the shops on the street have shares of the Sheng family. There are few men in the family, and there are few such social occasions, so this opportunity is naturally even more rare.

Shen Yu personally drew up a list and sent it to the old lady.

After the old lady read it, she said: "Add the Shen family as well, in the end, it is your mother's family, and you must always be able to get by in terms of face." ”

Shen Yu said: "I also told the old lady about the last time, and the Shen family is still detaining my mother. If it's just for my face, you don't have to. ”

Shen Yu didn't want to see Shen Huai'an, last time Shen Huai'an kidnapped him and locked him in Shen's house for nearly half a month, causing her to be misunderstood. Shen Yu has always remembered this incident.

The old lady thought for a moment, "The Shen family also has a head and face in Qingshui Town, and the two families compete in private, but they always have to do face work." ”

Shen Yu nodded and said, "Daughter-in-law Sun has written it down." ”

Coming out of Heshoutang, I met Sheng Yanqing leading two people to walk into Crane Shoutang. Shen Yu was slightly blessed, and she said hello.

In this era, there are very few people like Shen Yu who go to the tea shop to take care of business. In front of foreign men, Shen Yu must maintain a humble posture and give face to the men in the family.

She watched Sheng Yanqing enter the door, straightened her skirt and walked back, just walking not far away, she felt a familiar smell coming from behind her.

She looked up and met his dark pupils.

Sheng Yanqing said: "There are two jewelry shops that have something to report to the old lady, and I will send them in and come out." Speaking of which, these two shops are still the private property of the old lady, and they were her dowry back then. ”

Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing walked one after the other, and the two deliberately distanced themselves a little, but they could still hear what they said to each other.

Shen Yu said with a displeased face: "Grandmother's birthday is coming soon, I didn't want to invite the Shen family, but grandmother's meaning, everyone in Qingshui Town has to invite." ”

"If you have to be afraid, the Shen family is also afraid." Sheng Yanqing's tone was gentle, "Don't worry, I'll send a few people to keep an eye on it when the time comes." ”

The two walked silently for a while, and Sheng Yanqing said again: "You can be busy with the birthday banquet with peace of mind, and I have prepared a gift for your grandmother." ”

Shen Yu nodded lightly, and her heart suddenly had a bottom.

These juniors of the Sheng family, there are only a few people who are giving gifts, Shen Yu didn't have time to think about it, but Sheng Yanqing did it all for her.

He's always like this, he can think of things that others can't think of.

In the Heshou Hall, the old lady was talking to a few old shopkeepers, and after the business was finished, one of the white-bearded shopkeepers said: "Old lady, the second master is young and promising, and everyone praises him for doing business outside." It's just that the second master is not too young, why haven't you seen him yet? ”

This shopkeeper is in charge of the old lady's dowry, and he is also the old lady's maiden family, and it is not too much to ask the juniors about their relatives.

The smile on the old lady's face froze for a moment, and she sighed: "Yanqing has an idea, I also mentioned the matter of family affairs, and there are people from my hometown who come to talk about my relatives during the New Year." He said that Yan Ming had only passed away for a year, and he didn't want to mention the matter of getting married. ”

The shopkeeper said: "The second master is young, how can he be delayed because of other things." If you want to say a year, a few more months, it won't come. If you want me to say, it's better to look at each other first, and when you find the right eye, it's finalized, and the year will be up. ”

The old lady nodded, "That's not a good idea." ”

It just so happened that the old lady's sixty-second birthday was coming, and it was a good reason to have a banquet for the relatives and friends of the Sheng family, including some businessmen with heads and faces in Qingshui Town.

The old lady thought about it seriously for a while, and said to Tao's mother: "You let go and let the people in your hometown, and those who have school-age girls at home, also bring them with you." And who I heard a while ago that the girl of the Wu family is seventeen this year. I have seen that girl before, her appearance and figure are all first-class, and the Wu family is a scholarly family, so she is right. ”

Mother Tao nodded, "What the old lady said is that when the old lady married, he was only twenty years old. After the New Year, the second master is twenty-three, and it's time to say goodbye. ”

In addition to her age, the old lady was thinking about other things. Sheng Yanming is not the blood and blood of the Sheng family, but fortunately, he did not leave a son and a half daughter. Sheng Jinxu is a successor, and the only one who can really continue the Sheng family's incense is Sheng Yanqing.

The Sheng family is thin, and the old lady can't sleep at night every time she thinks of this.

The Wu family in Qingshui Town is a paper and pen business, although the family business is not large, it is expensive and elegant. The ancestors of the Wu family are also scholars, and there is also a Tanhualang, who has a lot of family style.

The old lady was very concerned about this matter, and asked Tao's mother to go to Wu's house to deliver the invitation in person.

In Fuyun Juri, Shen Yu is still studying the dishes of the birthday banquet.

In previous years, it was the chefs at home who made some dishes that they were good at, and did their best to be a landlord. This year, Shen Yu decided to use the chef outside to invite the cook to her home, using both Western and Western dim sum, and she even cleaned up the flower hall and prepared a dance hall for young people to dance.

The first time she organized a banquet, Shen Yu was afraid that something would go wrong, and she always wanted to make some senses.

Hexiang said: "Miss, few people really come to eat at this kind of banquet, they are all flowing water seats, and some dishes are far away, so they don't have a chance to eat." Let's just join in the fun. ”

Shen Yu was also thinking about the dining table, and she naturally thought of the dining table that could be rotated in the twenty-first century. The table is two-tiered and has a shaft, with a top layer for food and a load-bearing bottom, so that guests can rotate freely when they use it, so that guests can eat each dish according to their preferences.
