Chapter 14: The old lady lifts the lockdown
At noon, the sound of cicadas came and went, Shu Changyu was still stuffy and noisy, but she had nothing to do, lying on the beauty couch and turning a few pages of books at will, and fell asleep unconsciously.
I couldn't sleep for a cup of tea, and there was a sudden panicked voice outside the courtyard. Suddenly, Su Yun pushed open the door of the house in surprise and joy, and said with an excited face: "Miss, wake up quickly, the slave maid will change your clothes and dress up for you to meet the eldest son of our family." ”
Shu Changyu was sleepy-eyed, rubbed her eyes, and asked in a trance: "Which eldest prince?" ”
"It's Miss's eldest brother. Miss, you have been married to the Xiao family for less than three years, why did you forget your maiden family in our Jingshi? ”
After Su Yun's reminder, Shu Changyu immediately thought of a Chinese face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, thin and tall, it was Shu Changyu's eldest brother Shu Changxiu.
Shu Changyu's eyes gradually bloomed with a glimmer of light, and she said in her heart that this mother's eldest brother came at this time, and she couldn't help but have a happy look on her face, and let Su Yun dress up and change her clothes and go to the main hall to meet her.
I didn't want to, I just stepped out of Huajin Yuan with my front foot, and Xiao Mobai came with my back foot. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his handsome face was gloomy, and he looked like Shu Changyu owed him a mountain of gold and silver.
Xiao Mobai stopped and reluctantly spit out a sentence, "I warn you, be careful when you see your eldest brother." ”
The corners of Shu Changyu's lips were slightly raised, and there was no emotion on her face, so she responded lightly: "The mouth is on me, how I want to say it is my business, don't worry about Xiao Gongzi." ”
"You ......"
Shu Changyu averted her gaze, brushed Xiao Mobai's shoulder, and went all the way to the main hall. When I arrived at the main hall, I saw a man in a lake blue thin shirt drinking tea, and when I looked up and saw my sister-in-law, I was happy, and I was moved after a long absence, "Xiaoyu." ”
Shu Changyu pretended to be enthusiastic, and said excitedly: "Big brother, why are you here?" Xiaoyu misses you so much. Are your father and second brother good? ”
"It's all right, and they're very concerned about you. I heard that you were not in good health some time ago, how are you now? ”
The words did not fall, but seeing that Xiao Mobai had already followed, he bowed to Shu Changxiu, and said respectfully: "I've seen the eldest brother." ”
"Brother-in-law, don't come unharmed."
"Thank you, big brother, everything is fine. Big brother, please take a seat, the old lady and his mother will arrive later. ”
"I don't dare to work the old man and my aunt, I was just ordered to come to Huazhou to supervise political affairs, and I took the time to visit my sister. Seeing that she is safe and sound now, I, the eldest brother, am relieved, and I will leave after saying a few words. ”
"Brother Xiu is so young and promising now, very good, very good. If you come, you can stay for a few more days, and you can also relieve the homesickness of the girl. ”
Shu Changxiu hurriedly greeted the old lady and Zhao Wan, and said humbly: "The younger generation thanks the old lady for his love, just because there is official business and it is inconvenient to stay, and when he is done, he will come to your mansion to disturb him." ”
Shu Changyu stretched out her hand to support the old lady and sent him to the Taishi chair to sit down, only to hear the old lady say with a smile: "I heard that Brother Xiu'er has been promoted, and now he is a servant of the ministry, and he is really a tiger father without a dog." ”
Shu Changyu saw the opportunity and asked, "Big brother, when is the happy event?" ”
"Didn't my mother tell you in the letter at home?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Shu Changyu, and she suddenly felt a sense of oppression coming from all directions, especially Xiao Mobai's expression, as if she wanted to break her neck as soon as she opened her mouth.
I heard the old lady cough lightly, and looked away with a little embarrassment. Shu Changyuyun smiled lightly, "No, I forgot about it when I saw my eldest brother." ”
She seemed to hear the voice of the Xiao family taking a deep breath, and she was secretly amusing in her heart, only to hear Shu Changxiu say in a doting tone.
"You girl, before you got married, you were held in the palm of your hand by your father and our two brothers, and you are reluctant to suffer any grievances, and someone is worried about everything for you. Now that he is married, how can he still be so uncompetitive? ”
Shu Changyu's good impression of this eldest brother in her heart has skyrocketed, this person who has been up and down in the sea is really able to speak, this remark not only hints at the confidence that the Shu family gives to his sister, but also supports her by retreating.
The old lady smiled, her eyes dodged slightly, and she said with a smile: "Brother Xiu'er just let the in-laws rest assured when she goes back, the girl is very capable, if it weren't for the fact that she was not in good health some time ago, this huge family has always been the worry of this girl, and even I, the old woman, am ashamed of myself." ”
Shu Changyu didn't speak, calmly observing the expressions of everyone present, until the old lady also said it well, and then she lightly opened her lips.
"If it weren't for the good guidance of the ancestors' religion, Changyu might not be able to manage this family well. Big brother, you let your father and mother just rest assured, our Shu Xiao family is a world friend, and Changyu has grown up under the watchful eye of the father-in-law and the old lady since childhood, how can they be willing to wronged me? Even Mo Bai, he treated me really well. ”
Shu Changyu deliberately accentuated the two words, and her eyes moved to Xiao Mobai's side. Although he was smiling on his face, his eyes were frozen with a layer of ice, and there was no temperature and no affection at all.
Her gaze swept to Zhao Wan again, and when the two looked at each other, Zhao Wan hurriedly shifted her gaze, her eyes flickering. Only the old lady sits firmly like a mountain and is not alarmed.
"That's fine. It's just that your body has recovered, so you can't be lazy and urge several times before you pick up a pen and send a letter to your family, the mother only has a daughter like you, who has always loved you the most, and she must not hurt her heart. ”
"My brother has taught me that Xiaoyu will never dare to be lazy in the future, so is it feasible to send a letter back every month?"
Shu Changxiu said a few more greetings, and when he saw that the sun was sinking in the west, he said goodbye and left the Xiao Mansion.
After the old lady waited for Shu Changxiu to leave, she glanced at Shu Changyu gratefully, a faint look of shame appeared on her face, and then she looked at Xiao Mobai and said coldly: "Order, the young lady's grounding order will be lifted now." ”
