Seeing Liu's face stiff when he saw Liu's smile, Shen stepped forward with a smile and took the candied fruit plate in her hand and put it on the table next to her, caressing Liu's hand compassionately: "Although this candied fruit is sweet, it can wash away the bitterness of the decoction." But it's easy to have a toothache after eating too much, and it's because my younger siblings came up with the way to take pills. Sister-in-law thinks this method is better? ”

"Nature is good." Liu's eyelids twitched, and his face was full of smiles, "What my mother said is that my younger brothers and sisters are still exquisite, and they think of a good way." ”

"Not really." The old lady bowed her head in agreement.

She is afraid of bitterness, although eating candied fruit can dilute the bitter taste.

But after all, when you are old, your teeth are not good, and when you eat a candied fruit, your teeth often hurt for a while.

It's just that Liu has always been enthusiastic, and she can't brush off her daughter-in-law's kindness.

Now that Shen can make the decoction into pills, it is simply comfortable for her.

"How can a daughter-in-law be as good as her mother praised," Shen smiled embarrassedly, "There are still many things to learn from my sister-in-law." ”

Liu humbled himself, lowered his eyes to hide his disgusted look, and changed the topic when he raised his eyes again: "Mother, my daughter-in-law just received a letter from Brother Zheng'er." ”

The brother Zheng in Liu's mouth is Fu Yuanzheng, the son of Dafang's grandson.

Fu Yuanzheng is 17 years old this year, and he passed the college examination last year to become a student, and he has already made a name for himself.

Now I am studying at the most prestigious Tanshan Academy in Beijing, and I am ready to participate in the autumn festival two years later.

Fu Yuan is diligent in his studies, and he became a talent at a young age, and he is more important in the hearts of the grandfather and the old lady than Fuping Mountain, the prince of the country's mansion.

So as soon as Liu mentioned Fu Yuanzheng, the old lady suddenly came to her senses: "Brother Zheng, what did you say?" ”

"Brother Zheng is thinking about his grandfather and grandmother," Liu took out the letterhead from his arms and handed it to the old lady, "It is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival Academy is on holiday, and he wants to come back to visit your second elder." ”

The old lady took the letter, spread it out in her hand, and read it carefully.

Liu squinted at Shen, why don't you see you now? Laugh at! Want to fight me? Give birth to a son and come out and see if there is a chance!

Shen pursed his lips and turned a blind eye.

The old lady read the letter and was in a good mood: "When Brother Zheng comes back, I can ask the big kitchen to make him his favorite braised hooves." ”

"If Brother Zheng knew that his mother was so concerned about him, he would be very happy." Liu smiled and promised, "Speaking of which, my younger brother and sister haven't seen Brother Zheng for many years." ”

"The daughter-in-law remembers that when her younger brother and sister first married into the Guogong Mansion," Liu smiled and broke back into Yicheng, "Brother Zheng was just three years old, and he was still making noise at the wedding banquet for his younger brother and sister to hug him." ”

"Didn't the guests at the wedding banquet smile and say that my brother and sister are going to have a son!"

Shen rolled her eyes in her heart, and she knew that Liu would bury her with a son.

Tut!

Isn't it fresh to say this over and over again all day long?

The old lady's face sank slightly, she glanced at Shen Shi, who was lowering her eyebrows, waved her hand and said, "I'm tired, you all go down and get busy first." ”

Liu was surprised, the old lady didn't blame Shen for a word?

And to let them back down so hastily, is it because they don't want to talk about this topic?

She looked at Shen thoughtfully, respectfully agreed, and left the Begonia Residence side by side with Shen.

After the two left, the old lady called Mama Hu to put away Fu Yuanzheng's letter: "I'll take it out when Grandpa Guo comes back." ”

Mama Hu promised.

The old lady leaned next to the big pillow and half-closed her eyes: "Ahu, what you said about the Shen family is sincere?" ”

She came out of nowhere, which made Mama Hu stunned for a moment.

"The slave maid thinks that the second lady should be sincere in what she said."

The old lady sighed faintly: "I think so too. You know, the second child made a lot of trouble in order to marry the Shen family, and he also asked me for a promise to be a daughter-in-law of the Shen family in this life. ”

If it weren't for the Shen family who took the initiative to ask for a concubine for the second child, she would not have been able to propose such a concubine because she had promised to the second child.

Fortunately, after the Shen family returned to the capital, he mentioned this matter to her, saying that if she still can't get pregnant this year, she will give Fuping Yuan a concubine next year.

Only then did the old lady change her opinion of the Shen family slightly.

In addition, the Shen family behaved well and was quite attentive to the old lady, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gradually improved.

The two of them left the Begonia House and walked to the backyard together.

There is nothing they want to talk about with each other, but they just talk about the weather in the face of each other.

When he walked to the front of the Shi'an Hospital, a maid suddenly hurriedly greeted him: "The slave maid has seen Mrs., and Steward Zhou has an urgent matter and is waiting to report to Mrs. ”

Liu was stunned, turned his head to say goodbye to Shen, and walked briskly towards the Shi'an Courtyard.

Shen Shi stopped, squinted his eyes and looked at the figure standing in front of the Shi'an Academy: "Sanniang, do you think that steward looks a little kind?" ”

Shu Sanniang took the Shen family and walked in the direction of Haitian Courtyard, and said in a low voice: "That's the Zhou steward in charge of procurement in the house, and the slaves and maids have dealt with it a few times. ”

"The person is quite gentle, good-looking," Shu Sanniang covered her mouth and whispered, "Sanniang feels that at first glance she looks a little similar to the master." ”

A thought flashed through Shen's heart: "Sanniang, inquire about the situation of this Zhou steward." ”

Shu Sanniang hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Luoxia Pavilion.

Fu Yuanyuan was writing intently in the study.

Yinbao pushed open the door and looked at the small stack of neat papers on the bookcase: "Girl, the old lady didn't punish you, why did she copy the female commandment?" ”

"I'm practicing calligraphy." Fu Yuan glanced at her, "Besides, if grandmother is punished for copying books one day, can you still use it?" It's called killing two birds with one stone. ”

Yinbao stuck out her tongue: "The girl is right. ”

"Aren't you swatting mosquitoes in the yard?" Slowly and methodically put aside a written female commandment, Fu Yuanyuan continued to dip the ink, "What are you doing when you come in?" ”

"Girl," Silvertreasure mysteriously handed over a ball of paper, "and someone threw this at me while the slave was out fighting mosquitoes. ”

Fu Yuanyuan took the paper ball in confusion, spread it out and looked at it, and there was a line of words written on it: 'Ruian Tea House. Qin'

Qin?

Isn't it Qin Ze?

Yinbao's conjecture was no different from Fu Yuanyuan: "Girl, shall we go out?" ”

Yinbao's face was full of excitement and expectation, and Fu Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to pat Yinbao's head: "Go and go, if you don't go, you have to shoot all the mosquitoes in this Luoxia Pavilion." ”

Half an hour later, in front of the Ryan Tea House.

The suave Fu Yuanyuan led Yinbao into the teahouse in a chic manner, and followed the little maid to the private room on the second floor.

"Qin Gongzi," as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Ze who got up to greet him, and Fu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "It's really you looking for me." ”

Qin Ze stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Shen Gongzi, please take a seat." ”

The shopkeeper quickly refilled the tea and retreated.

Qin Ze took a sip of tea, looked at the pair of eyes in front of him that were shining like autumn light and moonwaves, and his previous hesitation was swept away: "Shen Gongzi, I actually want to ask you for something today." ”
