Chapter 42: The Ninth Sister?
Shen Qiutan wore a frost-colored Luo skirt and walked in with a smile.
As soon as she came, Lao Yang's firepower immediately shifted: "Who called you here?" β
Why is it this sentence every time? Shen Qiutan made a salute, saying that perfunctory is not perfunctory, saying that seriousness is definitely not serious, so that people want to find fault but can't pick it out, and the anger of the old Yang family, which was already rising, suddenly rose to a higher level.
Shen Qiutong took the opportunity to pull Yao to stand up.
"The grandmother exempted her granddaughter from asking for peace, and the granddaughter was grateful and came to say hello to her grandmother." Well, in fact, the old marquis agreed to invite himself to Xixi, and at the same time, he also asked himself to abide by the rules, such as morning and dusk.
"I heard, you hired a female gentleman?" Lao Yang said in his heart, I am worried that you will not come, since you are here, I will definitely have to clean you up for your dead father.
Shen Qiutan blinked, and caught up with the naΓ―ve: "Well, it was my grandfather who invited my granddaughter, and I heard that it was the female gentleman of the Derong Pavilion." β
De Rong Pavilion was founded after the queen left the palace, and the female gentlemen recruited in it are all really talented and learned, specializing in cultivating the enlightenment of women from large and small families in the capital, and it is very famous in the capital, and the price is naturally expensive.
Lao Yang only knew that he had invited a female gentleman, but he didn't know that it was from Derong Pavilion, and when he heard this, he felt sorry for the money and was angry, and this anger was about to be suppressed.
"Grandfather is busy, but he can also enlighten his granddaughter, and the granddaughter is grateful for the kindness of her grandfather and grandmother, and today she wants to come to greet her in person and thank her grandmother."
Are you saying thank you? It's just here to show off your might, right? The old marquis invited it, even if he can't control it! Old Yang tried hard to suppress his anger and suppress it again. What kind of ecstasy soup did this little beast pour into the old marquis?
Shen Qiutan was a little surprised in his heart.
This old Yang is not good to himself, but he didn't expect to be so mean to his eldest aunt. If she was a smart person, she should always do some superficial work......
Could it be that the Hou Mansion was too comfortable, allowing her to let herself fly early?
In all fairness, if it weren't for the old Yang family, I'm afraid that their reputation outside would be better.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Qiutan offered to say goodbye, and as soon as she left, Yao also walked out with her daughter.
Shen Qiutan ate a lot of breakfast and didn't walk fast, and the Yao mother and daughter easily overtook her.
was embarrassed by her niece, Yao's face was very unbearable, thanks to her usual unsmiling and looking very serious, so that people would not see it.
Shen Qiutan beckoned: "Auntie, sixth sister, do you want to go to the Agarwood Residence to sit?" β
Yao's ate the first row at Lao Yang's place, and where was there any interest, he said: "It's unfortunate today, my aunt still has some things, I'll go see your sisters and brothers another day." β
Shen Qiutong pulled Yao's sleeve, and Yao turned his head sideways and asked her, "Do you want to go?" β
Shen Qiutong nodded, raised his chin again, and said to Shen Qiutan: "But you invited me, I went!" β
"That's natural!" Shen Qiutan grabbed Shen Qiutong's arm: "The sixth sister is willing to appreciate the light, and the younger sister is so happy!" β
Shen Qiutong was actually very entangled and hesitant, but now that he saw that Shen Qiutan's smile did not seem to be fake, he let go of his heart.
She is the daughter of the long house, even if the Hou Mansion declines, it is still better than ordinary people, she originally had proud capital, but her father is disabled, her mother is cowardly, and their long house has never looked like a long house. In Cixuan Hall just now, she dared to contradict the old Yang family, more or less inspired by the girl next to her......
She felt a little that her mother's forbearance and concession seemed to be less useful than that of her ninth cousin......
Shen Qiutong looked at the girl holding his hand, three years younger than himself, but she was almost as tall as herself, her body was thin, and she looked even weaker in frost-colored clothes. The girl didn't look good at all when she dressed like this, and the old lady didn't like this kind of dress even more, but she knew that this cousin was keeping filial piety to her dead parents in her own way.
"Sixth sister, come quickly, I'll take you to see the yard first."
In order to support the faΓ§ade, the Shen family has a small garden, but the flowers and trees of the agarwood residence are also blooming well, the first wave of cherry blossoms has fallen, the branches and begonias are blooming brightly, magnolia and begonias are staggered, and then go back, the peonies have also budded.
A hint of envy flashed in Shen Qiutong's eyes.
When the eldest sister was not married, she also thought about this yard, but unfortunately in the end, no one got it, but it was obtained by this ninth cousin who had no feminine elegance.
The world teaches women to be docile and humble, and the mother is the most polite and humble, but in the end?
At this moment, there was a burst of baby laughter from upstairs.
Shen Qiutan greeted with a smile: "Sixth sister, let's go in and talk." β
They followed the sound upstairs, and Shen Qiutong saw that there were soft blankets on the floor of the west wing, except for the door, there were soft pillows everywhere, and Xiao Changzhen was not wearing much, and he was already sweating all over.
"Maomao, come, come to my sister!" Shen Qiutan was holding a begonia flower in his hand, attracting Xiao Changzhen's attention.
Xiao Changzhen's saliva flowed onto his chin, but Shen Qiutan signaled to the nurse not to care about him. Xiao Changzhen had just started to learn to climb, and his strength was not very strong, and when he saw his sister, he wanted to find his sister to hug him, but Shen Qiutan was standing at the door, waiting for him to crawl over by himself.
"Wow! Woo woo...... "Seeing that my sister ignored her, Xiao Changzhen couldn't climb anymore, so she simply lay on the soft blanket and cried.
Shen Qiutan shook his head: "Little guy, come, come here, my sister can hug you." β
Xiao Changzhen pursed his lips and looked very aggrieved, but Shen Qiutan was unmoved, he began to get up again with a hum.
When he approached the door, Shen Qiutan suddenly picked him up and kissed him.
Shen Qiutong didn't know why, but he was a little envious.
"The third brother looks a lot fatter." The last time she saw Shen Changzhen, it was when she was held by the nurse before, it was only a month, and she had gained so much weight, and the little arms that were exposed were like two fat lotus roots, and the original weakness was not so obvious.
Sure enough, the personal care of the loved ones is different.
Xiao Changzhen was reluctant to come down as soon as he arrived at Shen Qiutan, and Shen Qiutan also felt sorry for the little guy who had made a lot of effort just now, so he kept holding him and took Shen Qiutong to visit the Agarwood Residence, and finally went to the first floor to have tea.
"Sixth sister, how is it? I'm going to come back more often in the future! Shen Qiutan grabbed Xiao Changzhen's chubby hand and stopped him from grabbing his hair while talking to Shen Qiutong.
Shen Qiutong nodded: "Then it depends on when I'm free." β
Shen Qiutan knew that she was still holding the shelf of the concubine of the long house, she smiled in her heart, and she didn't reveal it, and she was just about to say something hot about the topic, when she saw Xiaocai walk in.
"What?"
When Shen Qiutan returned home, the four ladies in charge of the family allocated a total of four maids to Shen Qiutan, in addition to the previous hawthorn and red beans, there were two, Shen Qiutan named them small melons and small vegetables, plus the original little maids of Qingfeng Yuan, and now there are five maids in Agarwood House.
"It's the post of the eldest princess of Longqing."
