Chapter 68: A Compromise Solution
Seeing that Sheng Jinxu was well-behaved and obedient, the eldest lady rarely smiled, gently stroked his little head and said, "Xu'er, study hard to be like your father, learn to be rich and take over the Sheng family's business in the future." ”
The eldest lady cultivated Sheng Jinxu as the future head of the Sheng family, and after Sheng Tingming's death, she couldn't wait to find a new bargaining chip for herself and compete for the family property with the people in the second room.
Shen Yu sighed silently in her heart, Sheng Jinxu, a child, is sometimes so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
The more this is the case, the more she has made up her mind in her heart to protect this child and never let him repeat Sheng Tingming's mistakes.
Sheng Jinxu was studying in the study, and Shen Yu pulled the eldest lady to talk in the living room.
"Mother-in-law, Xu'er is your grandson, and it makes sense that you want to discipline him." Shen Yu suppressed the fire in her heart and reasoned calmly with the eldest lady.
After a morning, the eldest lady was also tired, and when she saw Shen Yu bowing her head, her attitude eased slightly.
Shen Yu observed the words, changed her words, and said, "The two of us discipline our children in different ways, this is undeniable. In this case, you might as well send Xu'er to the Sheng family's study school and let Mr. Teacher teach. ”
"Send it to the school?" The eldest lady clenched the handkerchief in her hand, it was easy to pass the step-child, this was the hope of the big house, she hated to hold Sheng Jinxu firmly in the palm of her hand.
Shen Yu's tone suddenly became sharp, "Mother-in-law, the two of us have a small disagreement, but if we delay Xu'er's study because of this, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
She made her attitude clear, if the eldest lady forcibly interfered in the child's affairs, she was not afraid of disagreements.
The eldest lady pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's natural to send it to the school, but every day after school, Xu'er has to come to my room to read the book and tell me what he has learned." In the end, it is the child of my Sheng family, and his studies are the top priority of our big house. ”
The eldest lady stood up, glanced at Shen Yu lightly, and left with a cold snort.
Shen Yu stretched her waist for a long time, the sky was already bright outside, the bright sun shone on the plane tree outside the window, and the green leaves were like the tips of the hairs brewed in boiling water.
The Sheng family's mansion is boxy, and the sky above them is square.
Shen Yu told Hexiang a few words, and told the housekeeper to prepare a car to go to the Shengjia Teahouse, and she didn't dare to slack off on business matters for a day.
Tea tasting is an elegant thing, tea picking, tea making, tea brewing, everything must be fine.
When she arrived at the door of the teahouse, Shen Yu's steps paused slightly, she hadn't seen Sheng Tingqing for a few days, and she had an inexplicable expectation in her heart.
Shen Yu is not a person who follows the rules and conformists, but after staying in the old society for a while, she is faintly aware of the invisible shackles that bind her, she can act arbitrarily, but what will come will be countless troubles.
"Grandma!" The two stewards walked over and saluted Shen Yu.
Shen Yu came back to her senses from her trance, she shook her head and smiled, and took a step into the door.
Unfortunately, Sheng Tingqing went outside to talk about business, and the chair he used to sit on was placed there, empty.
In the next few days, Shen Yu did not meet Sheng Tingqing, but when Xie Changli came to send the monthly money, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that Sheng Tingqing's business was a little tricky, and he was afraid that he would encounter a little trouble.
"Got it, go get busy." Shen Yu's tone was light, her eyes were calm, and there was no emotional frivolity.
"The eldest lady is very concerned about the affairs of the young master, and invited the teacher from the provincial capital, and after finishing the study last night, the young master Xu had dinner."
After Xie Changli left, Hexiang continued the previous topic, and after not hearing Shen Yu's response for a long time, she tentatively raised her head and shook it in front of Shen Yu's eyes.
Shen Yu came back to her senses, "What's wrong?" Where did you just go? What's the matter with Cozy? ”
Hexiang sighed secretly, "The second master is not here, and the soul of the young grandmother has been hooked." ”
Shen Yu didn't refute, her eyes were fixed on the account book in her hand, and she didn't turn a page for a long time.
She said in her heart, now, the eldest lady has a step-child, and I hope she will not attack Sheng Tingqing again. After the last time she bought off the bandits' murder, Shen Yu also saw how ruthless the eldest lady was.
This woman in the courtyard of the deep house, she hates Sheng Tingqing's mother and son very much.
Later, Hexiang took Sheng Jinxu back to Fuyunju, Sheng Jinxu grabbed a handful of candied fruit in his hand and carefully put it in Shen Yu's hand.
"Mother, eat candied fruit, it was given by grandma."
Shen Yu reached out and rubbed Sheng Jinxu's hair and hugged the little guy in her arms.
She laughed silently, "During the days I came to the Sheng family, I have grown a lot, and there is meat on my little face." ”
Since taking over the Sheng family, Sheng Jinxu's words have gradually increased, Shen Yu is very concerned about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and his body has also become stronger. Hexiang braided a pigtail at the back of his head, changed into brand new clothes, and looked like a rich young master.
Sheng Jinxu's arrival did bring a lot of joy to the lifeless Sheng family compound.
The little guy fell asleep after lying in Shen Yu's arms for a while, his fleshy little hands grabbed Shen Yu's sleeves, and all the weight was pressed on Shen Yu's body.
"Miss, give it to me." Hexiang was afraid that Shen Yu would not be able to hold it, so she reached out to take it.
Shen Yu smiled and shook her head, she picked up Sheng Jinxu and sent the person into the bedroom.
Hexiang broke Sheng Jinxu's little hand and said softly: "Miss, the little young master is reluctant to let go of you, he treats you as his mother, and he is reluctant to let go when he falls asleep." ”
Shen Yu took the quilt and put it on Sheng Jinxu's body, he slept sweetly, his fleshy lips were gently pursed, his chest was rhythmically lowered together, and his long eyelashes were like two small fans, sticking to his delicate skin.
Sheng Jinxu is four years old this year, and it is the time when he grows up, and other children are still playing around carefree, but he has to carry his schoolbag to study in the school, and he has to be forcibly pulled to Ruyixuan by the eldest lady at night to endorse the book.
Sheng Jinxu never complained of suffering, on the contrary, every time he came back from Ruyixuan, he would always say that the eldest lady was good.
Shen Yu lay on her side with her arms folded, she gently stroked Sheng Jinxu's hair, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Shen Yu just felt a little sleepy, but heard a quarrel outside.
She put on her clothes and went out, and saw Hexiang blocking the door, talking to a housekeeper.
Seeing Shen Yu coming, the family Ding said anxiously: "Grandma, the second master is in a bad mood, he is drinking in the tea house, we can't persuade him, go and take a look." ”
Seeing that the person was coming, Hexiang rudely pushed him, and said angrily: "The second master is drunk, what are you doing here to find the eldest young grandmother on this big night." ”
The Sheng family's rumors about Shen Yu and Sheng Tingqing have never been broken, and coupled with Song Baoqin's rumors, Sheng Tingqing's affairs have been avoided by Fuyunju.
Hexiang was afraid that someone would hold the handle, so she didn't put on a good face from beginning to end.
