Chapter 116: A Thousand Paper Cranes
The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter of my princess can be tilted!
The old lady hurriedly said: "No, the palace is busy, don't come back recently." "Although she misses her grandson, she knows the current situation of the Hou Mansion, and the Fang family can do everything. Xiao Ji'er brought it back, if she bumped into it, not to mention that she was distressed, even the palace couldn't explain it. Not only Xiao Ji'er, but even Shen Qingru and Shen Mingru sisters, the old lady didn't want them to come back.
Shen Qingru naturally understood the meaning of the old lady's words, her heart was warm and sour, and she didn't insist on it under the old lady's repeated refusals.
"I just went to see my sister, she's a little fatter and in good spirits." Shen Qingru picked up some words that the old lady liked to listen to and told her.
The old lady half-squinted, her expression was aggrieved, and when she heard this, she really had some energy, "That's good, you two sisters are blessed people." In this way, I can rest assured. Shen Mingru's pregnancy is the old lady's biggest concern at the moment. The danger of giving birth to Xiao Ning Heng frightened the old lady. Now that she heard that Shen Mingru was healthy, the old lady was a little relieved.
Shen Qingru chatted with the old lady for a while, and seeing that the old lady was tired, she took out the envelope from her arms and handed it over, "Grandmother, this is to honor you and your father." ”
The old lady took it suspiciously, opened it, and said in surprise: "This ...... This is? ”
Even if she doesn't go out recently, Xiao Ran still knows about opening a lobster shop, and she can let the old prince cut the ribbon, and the whole Da Xiao is unique.
"The lobster shop was opened by me and Xiao Ran, accounting for half of the shares." The old lady didn't know about these things.
The old lady pushed the envelope into Shen Qingru's hand: "You take this yourself, it's useless to give it to the Hou Mansion for me." You keep it for yourself, the palace is not as good as the Hou mansion, and it is always good to have more silver in your hand. ”
Shen Qingru stuffed the envelope into Qi's mother's arms, "Old lady, you don't know, the entire lobster is monopolized by Xiao Ran. We have done this business together, and I have money in my hand. This is my honor to you. You can just take it. As for why she didn't give it to Hou Ye, Shen Qingru was worried that one day Shen Wanru would come back and cry, Hou Ye was soft-hearted, she had to give the money she had worked so hard to give to others, and she couldn't die of depression when the time came. In contrast, the old lady is more reliable than the Hou Ye.
Mother Qi couldn't be the master with the envelope, looking at the old lady, the old lady nodded hesitantly before putting it away. I can't help but sigh in my heart, the eldest girl and the third girl always think about the Hou Mansion when they have good things, and the third girl is even more, giving such a heavy gift, which is like the second girl and the fourth girl, just thinking about pulling benefits from the Hou Mansion, once it can't be as expected, they complain about the Hou Mansion, the same father, why is there such a big difference?
Seeing that the old lady was getting more and more tired, Shen Qingru only said a few words, and then used the excuse to go to Hou Ye and let the old lady rest.
Out of the old lady's courtyard, Shen Qingru's face sank, the old lady's situation was more serious than she thought. Just now she asked Qi's mother, the old lady had been taking this medicine for several days.
As soon as the news of the Fang clan's troubles in the Mo Wangfu came back, the old lady was not only dizzy, but also vomited blood. The already unhealthy body is even worse, and only taking the tonic medicine prescribed by Cui Lao before has no effect. You can only use strong medicine to temporarily lift your spirits. In fact, if you can cultivate well, after a year and a half, the old lady can recover. It's just that this mess in the Hou Mansion is bad, and the old lady can't rest assured, and it takes a lot of effort to work hard, otherwise Shen Qingru will probably see the Hou Mansion even worse when he comes back.
Aunt Lan sighed, "I'm afraid the old lady's situation is not very optimistic. ”
Mai'er said: "I haven't seen her for a few days, and the old lady is much older. ”
Shen Qingru returned to the Hou Mansion, mostly bringing back a few dowry maids. This time, it was Aunt Lan and Mai'er who followed. The two have been in the Hou Mansion for decades, and their relationship is deep, and no matter how much they hate the Fang Clan, it has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion. Seeing the depression of the Hou Mansion and the condition of the old lady, he became worried.
Aunt Lan said to Shen Qingru: "Princess, I'm afraid the Hou Mansion won't be able to go on like this." "Not to mention the relationship for many years, the Hou Mansion is Shen Qingru's maiden family and Shen Qingru's backing. If the Hou Mansion collapses, Shen Qingru's waist board will always be softer. Although the prince and the old prince are not superficial people, but Shen Qingru married Xiao Yuan, how many people have already aroused jealousy, without the Hou Mansion, I don't know how many ugly words will be spread, it is good for toads to eat swan meat.
Mai Er said indignantly: "It's all the Fang clan's fault. "The little girl is no longer willing to call Fang Shi Madame.
Shen Qingru didn't speak, pursed her lips and made up her mind in her heart, no matter what, she would take a break from the Fang family, and with her for a day, the Hou Mansion would never be at peace.
A few steps around the corner, a few little maids were persuading a young boy of six or seven years old. Seeing Shen Qingru and a few people, he hurriedly saluted Shen Qingru.
Shen Qingru asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
The little boy shrank to the maid's side, as if he was afraid of Shen Qingru. A maid boldly said, "The little boy wants to visit the old lady, and the slaves and maids are afraid that they will disturb the old lady's rest." ”
When Shen Qingru heard this, he half-squatted and beckoned, "Xuan'er, come here." ”
This little boy is Shen Qingru's only younger brother, Shen Jingxuan, the only seedling of the Hou Mansion. Although he is a lone seedling, Shen Jingxuan's treatment is not good. His biological mother is Aunt Chen, an honest woman. I don't have much presence on weekdays. Speaking of which, it is also a creation to make people. Hou Ye has five children, four concubines, and the only son is a concubine.
Hou Ye doesn't manage the backyard much, and Aunt Chen begs for a living in the hands of the Fang family, so she can naturally keep a low profile. The old lady is old and doesn't have so much mental strength, so she is afraid of being too protective of her aunt's mother and son, and after a hundred years, the Fang family will become even worse. The Fang family is the mistress of this family, and when the time comes, Aunt Chen's mother and son will still be captured.
Fang's family did not allow Shen Jingxuan to greet the old lady on the grounds that the old lady was purifying, except for the New Year's holidays, Shen Jingxuan was almost invisible in the mansion. The old lady turned a blind eye to these things. She just needs Shen Jingxuan to grow up safely. It's not that the Fang clan didn't have the intention of robbing Shen Jingxuan, but the old lady didn't agree, the only seedling in the Hou Mansion was afraid that the Fang clan would be crooked. Second, Shen Jingxuan is old, he has already remembered, and he forcibly snatched it, which is not good. Moreover, the Fang family had always wanted to have a son-in-law by himself, but he didn't expect to get into trouble with Hou Ye to this point.
Shen Jingxuan's life in the Hou Mansion is not good, he is six or seven years old, thin, and looks worse than other people's four or five-year-old children. He was also shy and afraid of people, and the original owner hated him before, so he reprimanded him a lot, so he saw Shen Qingru hiding behind the maid and refused to come out.
Looking at Shen Jingxuan's sallow little face and frightened eyes, Shen Qingru's heart softened, and he said softly: "Brother Xuan, don't be afraid, come to my sister." ”
Shen Jingxuan hid behind the maid again. The maid is about to cry, the princess is pampered, Brother Xuan is timid, if she makes the princess unhappy, even Aunt Chen will suffer. The maid was ruthless, pushed Shen Jingxuan forward, and said, "Forgive me, Concubine Shi, Brother Xuan is timid, don't be like him." ”
Shen Jingxuan arrived in front of Shen Qingru, and wanted to hide back but was stopped by the maid, and cried out with a "wow".
Shen Qingru: ....... Is she that scary?
The maid's eyes were red, she was Aunt Chen's personal maid, watching Shen Jingxuan grow up, seeing him crying, she was distressed and afraid of angering Shen Qingru, and she didn't dare to speak.
Shen Qingru was helpless, lowered his voice and coaxed: "Brother Xuan is the most sensible, good, the third sister is here, don't cry." As he spoke, he took a piece of candy from Mai'er's hand and said temptingly, "Sister will give you candy to eat." "Mai'er is greedy, and usually likes to bring some small snacks with her, but now it can be regarded as working.
Shen Jingxuan wiped his eyes with his small hand, and secretly glanced at Shen Qingru, seeing that Shen Qingru's eyes were soft and soft-spoken, unlike in the past, when he saw him, he frowned and scolded, and he was a little bolder. looked at the sugar in Shen Qingru's hand again, thought of something, and said in a glutinous voice: "Aunt said that you can't eat what others give." ”
Shen Qingru's heart softened, Xiao Xuan'er was older than Xiao Baozi, but she was far less lively than Xiao Baozi, "The third sister is no one else, Xuan'er eats it, and my aunt won't say anything." ”
Xiao Xuan'er looked up at the maid, the maid was also very nervous, she was afraid that Shen Qingru would be poisoned, and thinking that there were so many people, she would not choose this time for poisoning, so she nodded.
Xiao Xuan'er happily took the candy, and she didn't reject Shen Qingru so much, but she didn't dare to look at Shen Qingru, and occasionally looked at it secretly, and when Shen Qingru saw it, she lowered her head in a hurry.
Shen Qingru showed a soft smile, this is the only son of the Hou Ye, if there is no accident, it will be him who will inherit the Hou Mansion in the future. What's more, the child is the most innocent, and under the suppression of the Fang clan all these years, it is difficult for him.
Slowly, Xiao Xuan'er's courage grew, hesitated, and begged softly: "Can the third sister take me to see my grandmother?" ”
Shen Qingru touched his little head, "Xuan'er wants to visit her grandmother?" ”
Xiao Xuan'er nodded heavily, and the maid beside him explained: "The little young master knows that the old lady is sick, and I heard others say that if you fold ninety-nine thousand paper cranes, you can make your wishes come true." The old lady's illness can be cured. I folded it for a few days and wanted to send it over. The slave was worried that he had bumped into the old lady, so she didn't let him. Fang didn't pay attention, and the little young master secretly ran over......"
The maid found that the three girls seemed to be better talking than before, and they were not as scared as before, so she opened the box in her hand, and a box of thousand paper cranes was lying inside, neatly and neatly, and each thousand paper cranes were folded very neatly. Xiao Xuan'er said: "Third sister, I folded this one by one, grandmother received it, will it be okay?" ”
Shen Qingru was stunned, thinking of the scene of the skinny little Xuan'er seriously folding a thousand paper cranes, and looked at the clear and innocent eyes in front of him, his heart was sour. The old lady and the Hou Ye used to be regarded as sisters who doted on Shen Wanru, but as a result, they would only cause chaos to the Hou Mansion for their own selfishness, even if the original owner was the same. On the contrary, Shen Jingxuan, who was not favored, missed his grandmother in his heart. Maybe this is the fear of being favored.
With a lot of feelings in his heart, Shen Qingru covered the box and said: "Xiao Xuan'er is filial, grandmother and father will definitely be happy when they know about it." But my grandmother has just fallen asleep, so will the third sister take you over? ”
