Chapter 44: The Old Laurel Tree and the Chrysanthemum (Repair)
After leaving Tongxiangyuan, Wang's mother comforted Shen Cheng softly: "How can my brother be angry with the old lady?" Besides, you shouldn't tell the old lady that the lady is bad. They are all for the good of the second lady and for the good of the brother. Maybe the method made my brother unhappy, but their hearts were good. β
Shen Cheng held the jade cicada tightly and twisted and kicked in Wang's mother's arms: "It's bad!" It's bad! If you don't let it, sister, it's bad! β
Mother Wang hugged Shen Cheng from childhood to adulthood, so she naturally knew his routines, hugged him tightly, and continued to coax in her mouth: "Mom knows, Mom knows that my brother misses my sister." β
Shen Cheng pouted, leaned his head on Wang's mother's shoulder socket, and muttered, "Sister, sister, ......"
Mother Wang curled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Mom knows, my brother just wants to be my sister, and I don't mean to lose my temper with the old lady, nor do I mean to say that the lady is bad, right?" β
Shen Cheng nodded reluctantly.
Mother Wang praised him with a smile: "Our brother is the most sensible and reasonable, no matter what, as long as we explain it clearly to our brother, my brother will listen, right?" β
Although Shen Cheng was a little embarrassed, he felt proud, his little face was raised again, and his small chest was held high.
Mother Wang saw that he was finally getting better, so she was relieved and said with a smile: "The old lady said just now that there are new chrysanthemums in the garden, which must be very beautiful." Let's go see the chrysanthemums, shall we? Seeing the right one, how about picking off the hairpin sideburns for the old lady? β
Shen Cheng thought about it for a while, and felt that this idea was good: "Okay, my mother is also a hairpin." β
Mother Wang's eyes narrowed with a smile: "Brother is really filial, and he thinks about Mrs. and the old lady all the time." β
Shen Cheng's face turned red with excitement again: "Mmmm! Chrysanthemum! Chrysanthemum picking! β
A master and a servant walked happily to the garden.
People came and went on the road, and when they saw Shen Cheng, they saluted: "Brother, good." "Where are you going?" "My brother is dressed so handsomely today!"
Mother Wang smiled and nodded with others one by one.
The closer you get to the garden, the fewer people there are.
Suddenly, two people laughed.
ββ¦β¦ If you have to make osmanthus cake, there are not many fresh osmanthus flowers, and the dried osmanthus flowers have not been dried yet. It's a nuisance. β
"It's like there are still some osmanthus flowers on the old osmanthus tree on the edge of the pond, and I saw the top just blooming a few days ago. It's just too tall to pick it up. β
"Huh? Is it the one on the edge of the rockery? Climb up and pick it up! β
"How dangerous!"
"Come on! That's how high the rockery, at most, fall down and get a foot! Come, come with me! β
Shen Cheng listened to it word for word, and his eyes lit up: "Osmanthus!" β
Mother Wang hurriedly wanted to turn away when she heard the two people talking, but Shen Cheng grabbed her collar stubbornly, and hurriedly whispered at this moment: "You can't go, you can't go!" Falling is not fun! β
Shen Cheng screamed: "No! Just going! β
Mother Wang shook her head again and again: "Brother is obedient!" Mom can't climb trees or rockeries, we can't go! β
Shen Cheng's screams could be heard by almost the entire Shen family: "I'm going to the garden and picking osmanthus!" To my sister! β
Mother Wang was stupefied by his whole sentence.
It took a long time to react, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Brother, you said eleven words!" Eleven words in one sentence! β
Shen Cheng pursed his mouth, he didn't care about her praise at all, he just grabbed the thread on her collar, and muttered: "Osmanthus!" Sweet osmanthus! To my sister! β
The voices of the two daughters-in-law suddenly sounded behind Mother Wang, and the laughter was like a cold poisonous snake winding behind a person: "Mother Wang, if you don't dare to go, the two of us will accompany our brother to go." Brother, what do you say? β
Shen Cheng clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay!" β
In the depths of the garden, a mother was sending an envoy to the servants: "This chrysanthemum is well served, send a pot to Tongxiangyuan, Zhubitang, Tanghuayuan, and Xingxintang." Two people carried it in a pot, but don't break itβthis flower is worth a lot of money, and you can't afford to pay for it. β
One by one, they were commanded.
The garden was empty.
The mother looked around, listened to the movement outside, chose a direction opposite to Shen Chengqing's laughter, and left.
When I got to the door, I saw two mothers-in-law guarding the garden gate, and said with a smile: "It's so good to guard, the flowers that just came inside, don't let the idlers trample on it." β
The mother-in-law bent down and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes!" Where would you dare to miss such a big event? It must be well guarded. β
The other hurriedly stepped forward to add, but he didn't choose to say: "It must be strictly guarded, and not a single mosquito can fly in!" After finishing speaking, I felt that what I had just said was simply blind, and I was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the mother smiled and said, "Okay, that's right." β
The two mothers-in-law were stunned.
The mother stared at the two of them as if she didn't care, and left with a smile.
The mother-in-law who spoke first looked at the mother's back and poked the companion standing next to her: "What does she mean?" β
Another mother-in-law muttered blankly: "What did I just say?" β

Tong Xiang Yuan.
Mrs. Wei reclined on the couch, Mama Gan sat on the edge of the couch, and the two of them laughed. Shou Mei listened with a smile while beating Mrs. Wei's legs.
Huang Ya walked in with Shen Pei in her arms and grinning. Old Madam Wei hurriedly stretched out her hand, watched Shen Pei being placed on the ground, and curtled in a proper manner.
Mama Gan praised Shen Pei, Shen Pei blushed and plunged into Mrs. Wei's arms.
Old Madam Wei patted her on the back and a kind smile appeared on her face.

Zhu Bitang.
Luo sat at the table in the main room, with the ledger pen and ink spread on the table, and the two or three mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in charge were replying.
Roche's expression was serious and relaxed.
Fang Fei brought hot tea, she took it with a smile and took a sip.
β¦β¦

Tanghua-in.
Feng Shi reclined on the couch, rubbing a small jade Ruyi in his hand, looking at the autumn light outside the window and was stunned.
The little girls waited outside with bated breath for a call.
Quiet, dead silence.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Awakening Hall.
Mi Shi held the bridal girl Baotian with one hand, supported her waist with the other, and slowly walked around the yard. Her belly was high and bulging, and the plain blue satin skirt that covered it was soft.
Two rough servants carried a pot of mud and gold into the courtyard.
Mi greeted him with a smile on his face and stood five steps away.
Bao Tian commanded people to place the flower under the porch, together with the original chrysanthemums in the courtyard, which looked particularly bewitching and enthusiastic.
Mi stood in the distance, one hand on his waist, the other on his stomach, smiling sweetly.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Such as hospitals.
Shen Hao wore a long robe, his long hair was tied into a bun, he sat cross-legged on the futon, holding the scriptures and reciting, with a calm expression.
Mrs. Meng was also dressed, kneeling next to Muyu, twisting a rosary in her hand, and closing her eyes slightly.
The six slaves were taking care of affairs, and Jasmine was behind the small desk next to her, listening to what she was recording in the book.
Mama Qiu sat under the porch, waving around with a fly broom, basking in the sun.
