Chapter 53: Marriage Proposal (1)
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Shadow...... Shadow ......"
Bamboo shallow shadow, who fell asleep when he went home, seemed to hear his mother's voice in a daze.
It's annoying!
Why don't you even let go of yourself in your dreams?
I'm her daughter, and I'm not her savior, can I bother her with all the big things?!
The chattering voice persistently drilled into Zhu Qianying's ears, "Shadow...... Get up! This time, my mother's voice was accompanied by a clicking knock on the door.
Bamboo Shadow finally woke up a little, it turned out that it was not a dream.
"Mom, I'm not hungry, you eat, don't worry about me!" Zhu Qianying only thought that her mother was here to call her for dinner.
"No, Ying'er, Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan and Yan Shao are here, and now they are sitting in the living room."
Zhu Qianying was so frightened by this sudden news that she bounced up from the bed, and her aching body was pulled hard, and she bared her teeth in pain.
"Mom, what did you say?"
Bamboo Asakage only thought that he was sleeping in a daze, and he heard it wrong.
"The Yan family of three is sitting in the living room, you quickly wash up, come down and greet them, your father hasn't come back yet."
Chen Jing's voice was obviously flustered.
This can't be blamed on her, she was already timid and afraid, and she hasn't learned how to deal with the aunts of the Zhu family for more than 20 years. What's more, the three members of the Yan family, each of them have a strong aura, and it is strange that she is not flustered.
Bamboo Qianying, who had finished washing at a very fast speed, changed into a light blue casual jacket and wore a pair of cropped pants and went downstairs.
"Hello uncle and parents!"
Zhu Qianying smiled and said hello to Yan Bo and Old Lady Yan, and was pulled over by Old Lady Yan, motioning for her to sit down beside her.
Yan Shao was originally sitting next to Old Madam Yan, but he was forced to move and sit side by side with Zhu Qianying.
It was only then that Zhu Qianying had time to look at the wall clock on a wall, and the hands pointed to exactly two o'clock.
So, she came back and slept all morning?
"Are you alright?" Yan Shao, who was deliberately ignored by Zhu Qianying, suddenly asked.
Zhu Qianying withdrew her gaze and smiled at him, in front of people, of course she had to be kind to him.
"It's okay, what can I do?"
But you, what are you doing at my house at noon? Surprise checks? Or do you suddenly feel that the fifth lady of the Zhu family, who was born to my aunt, is not worthy of you?
Zhu Qianying had a stomach problem, but on the surface, he still looked hospitable, and got up to add some tea to the two elders of the Yan family.
When Mrs. Yan heard her son's question, she stared at Zhu Qianying carefully and looked at it carefully.
"Shadow, are you uncomfortable, why is your face so bad?" Reached out and grabbed her hand and patted it on the back of her hand.
Sitting opposite, I don't know whether to greet the guests or watch the lively Zhu Shaofen, without waiting for Zhu Qianying to answer, he took over.
"Old Madam Yan, don't worry, our family shadow doesn't dare to say anything else, the body is first-class and good, eat a lot and sleep well."
Zhu Qianying raised her eyelids and glanced at Zhu Shaofen coldly, and was about to open her mouth to choke her, but Old Madam Yan patted the back of her hand again and signaled her to keep quiet.
Then, he said to Zhu Shaofen slowly, "Of course Ying'er's body is good, and with a mother like Ah Jing who is very good at cooking, of course her health is good." However, listening to Mrs. Bamboo, could it be that all your children are not in good health? Or do they eat poorly and sleep poorly? β
As soon as Old Madam Yan said this, Zhu Shaofen's face immediately changed.
She, Mrs. Zhu, who is marrying in the Ming media, is usually arrogant and domineering at home and abroad, how could she ever hear such direct ridicule?
But at the moment, she didn't dare to reply half a sentence, because the other party was not only the wife of the Yan family but also the old head of the Tong family, how could she Zhu Shaofen afford to offend such a person?
"Hehe, Mrs. Yan said very well, Ah Jing's cooking skills are really excellent, and she serves our Zhu family for nothing."
She didn't dare to offend Old Madam Yan, could it be that she couldn't spread her resentment on Chen Jing?
This time, without waiting for Old Madam Yan to speak, Zhu Qianying said, "Auntie is really exalting my mother, as if without my mother, the Zhu family would have to starve to death." β
Zhu Shaofen's face became even more ugly, frowning and staring at Zhu Qianying, "Shadow, how do you speak?" β
If it had changed to normal times, Zhu Shaofen would have scolded a long time ago, and now, because of the face of the three members of the Yan family, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but her tone was full of questions and dissatisfaction.
"Mrs. Yan, my shadow is too young, and sometimes she can't talk with her brains, please bear with me." After Zhu Shaofen questioned Zhu Qianying, she put on a long face and asked Mrs. Yan for her guilt.
How could Old Madam Yan take her faΓ§ade skills in her eyes?
"Mrs. Bamboo, I think Shadow is right. Ah Jing is in the bamboo family, and she has the same status as you, right? She serves Shadow because she is Shadow Mother, and she serves you, which is unreasonable! Could it be that the Zhu family can't even afford to hire a chef, so they need Mrs. Zhu to cook? If this thing gets out, Mr. Bamboo's face will be bad, right? β
Old Madam Yan's words seemed to be an invisible slap on Zhu Shaofen's face.
And Zhu Qianying finally understood that what Mrs. Yan said about supporting her was just talking, but supporting her with practical actions.
To say that she is not moved is naturally false.
It's just that in front of so many people, even if she was moved, it was not easy to show it, so she had to hook her fingers and scratch the palm of Old Madam Yan with the hand she was holding.
Old Madam Yan winked at her, and then said to Chen Jing, "Ah Jing, we all know that it is not easy for you to raise a shadow, but Lao Yan and I really like shadows, so I took the liberty to come to the door today and dare to beg you to agree to the marriage of Ying'er and the dog Xiaohan." β
As soon as Mrs. Yan said this, not only Chen Jing and Zhu Shaofen, but even Zhu Qianying was also taken aback.
Originally, Bamboo Shadow should have felt happy. After all, didn't she work hard to participate in the selection just to marry Yan Shao so that the mother and daughter could have the ability to get out of the bitter sea of the Zhu family?
But it should have been an indifferent transaction, but it was full of humanity because of Mrs. Yan's righteous approach.
Zhu Qianying's heart swelled with guilt.
She and Yan Shao don't care about that step no matter what step they take, because they both know that this is a deal.
But Mrs. Yan is different, she seems to really have other expectations for herself.
This expectation and love make Zhu Qianying feel ashamed.
"Aunt......
Zhu Qianying opened her mouth to say something, but was hurriedly interrupted by Old Madam Yan, who had been staring at her.
"Ying'er, aunt knows that you have been wronged, and she also knows that this is very abrupt. For such a big thing as getting married, Xiao Han should have proposed to you first, but Lao Yan and I couldn't wait a little longer, so we took it upon ourselves to come to the door to propose.
