The next morning, Shen Yuechen got up a little later than usual, Cuixin heard the movement inside, and hurriedly came in with a basin of clean water to serve.

Mother Wu was preparing breakfast in the small kitchen, the fragrance wafted in through the window, Shen Yuechen sniffed it carefully, then pursed her lips and smiled: "This is the fragrance of fish porridge." ”

Hearing this, Cui Xin raised her head and said to her with a smile: "Miss's nose is really smart, I guessed it at once." Mom said that Miss has been working too hard lately, and everyone has lost weight, so I have to make more delicious food for you to make up. ”

After a while, Wu's mother came in with a big bowl of minced fish porridge, accompanied by a few vegetables and a plate of vegetarian tofu, smelling fragrant. She first took a small bowl out and dried it for a while before bringing it to Shen Yuechen, who tasted it and praised the deliciousness.

When she was in the main courtyard yesterday, she had no appetite, and when she came back in the evening, because she had something on her mind, she only ate half full, and after sleeping for a while, her stomach was already empty. This will naturally be the best thing to drink a mouthful of fragrant and smooth porridge.

Shen Yuechen asked Mother Wu and Cuixin to sit down together, "Eat together." ”

Cui Xin was happy when she heard this, and was about to sit down, but Wu's mother hurriedly said: "Don't be unruly, I'll go to the kitchen to eat later." ”

Cui Xin hurriedly bowed her head and answered yes, and stepped back.

Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "Mother Wu, you should also go to eat, I can do it alone, I don't have to use someone to serve me." ”

When Wu's mother heard this, she asked Cuixin to go first, but Cuixin shook her head and accompanied Wu's mother to wait until Shen Yuechen finished breakfast.

After breakfast, Shen Yuechen was about to study ink and write, but saw Mama Li suddenly bring a few people to her courtyard, and she also brought a lot of things in large bags.

Shen Yuechen was stunned for a moment, then got up to greet him, looked at Mama Li and said with a smile: "Mama, you are here." ”

"The old slave came to disturb me in the morning, thinking that it would be cooler in the morning on this hot day."

Mama Li greeted her with a smile, but Shen Yuechen didn't dare to accept it, and hurriedly sat down with her hand to talk.

"After the eldest girl went back yesterday, the old lady kept thinking about the girl's body and couldn't rest assured. Therefore, I specially ordered the old slave to send some supplements over......"

In the blink of an eye, the table of the Eight Immortals in front of her was already full of things, and if you looked closely, there were not only supplements, but also a few pairs of new embroidered shoes and two silks of good texture, one pink and the other lilac, all of which were bright colors that she rarely wears.

Shen Yuechen was a little confused for a while, and Mama Li saw her look surprised, and smiled slightly: "After the eldest girl went back yesterday, the old lady has been thinking about you in her heart, saying that she saw that the girl has lost a lot of weight recently, so she specially ordered the old slave to take some supplements and send them over to the girl to condition her body." Speaking of this, she smiled again: "These two horses are the best Hangzhou silk, and they have not yet opened scissors, so they can make two new clothes for the girl, and later, the tailors of Yunxiu Pavilion will come over to tailor the girl." In addition, the old slave also called the people of Zhenbao Zhai to come over and prepared a few sets of suitable jewelry, which will be sent to the girl later. ”

Just to make two clothes, how can you use such fabric...... And, there are jewelry...... People can't figure out more and more which one they are singing.

"It's really Mama Lao."

"It's all the grace of the old lady."

Shen Yuechen glanced at Mama Li quietly, and for some reason she didn't feel half happy when she looked at these beautiful things in front of her, but felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Then, Cui Xin carefully brought the freshly brewed tea, and Mama Li opened the lid and found that it was ordinary loose tea, and shook her head secretly in her heart.

Shen Yuechen kept looking at the tea bowl in his hand and didn't make a sound, thinking that in addition to sending things, Mama Li must have something to say.

After Mama Li put down the tea bowl, she looked at Shen Yuechen again, and saw her sitting there with her eyes and nose, her facial features were delicate, and under her delicate eyebrows were a pair of calm eyes, and her face was still a little pale.

In terms of appearance, Shen Yuechen's appearance is not outstanding, but in terms of temperament, she is by no means inferior to the other girls of the Shen family, but if you look at it from the way she dresses...... It's a far cry.

Mama Li looked at Shen Yuechen's half-worn dress, and couldn't help but secretly shake her head in her heart, and then said: "At the Zhu Family Flower Meeting in three days, the old lady is going to take the girls with her." This is the first time that the eldest girl has been out of the house since she came back, and there are some things about rules and etiquette, and the old slave still has to talk to you about it first. ”

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned when she heard this, then stood up, saluted Mama Li, and said earnestly: "Yuechen is stupid and not deeply involved in the world, so please give Mama more advice and advice." ”

The corners of Mama Li's mouth were slightly raised, and she said lightly: "The girl is too polite." ”

Mama Li told Shen Yuechen the rules of going out as a guest, how to be polite, how to treat people, what things you can't say, and what you can't do, Shen Yuechen listened to them and wrote them down one by one.

As a human being in two lives, although Shen Yuechen has not seen any big scenes, he still knows some about the etiquette and rules of socializing, so he learns quickly.

Everything that should be said has been said, everything that needs to be done has been done, and Mama Li is ready to take the maids back to the main courtyard.

Shen Yuechen got up together and said, "I'll go back with my grandmother and ask the old lady to go safe." ”

I received so many things at once, I always have to go over to thank you.

Mama Li said: "The old lady said, the girl doesn't have to go to ask for peace today, just take a good rest after handling the matter." And the hour is counted, and the men who make the garments are near. ”

Shen Yuechen didn't insist anymore, but said: "Yuechen thanks grandmother for her love, and after you go back, take me to thank my grandmother." After speaking, he sent Mama Li out of the yard with a smile.

After returning to the house, Cui Xin ran back to the table first, staring at the two pieces of fabric, her eyes straight.

"This material is really beautiful......" she said while wanting to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid of being taught a lesson by Mother Wu beside her, so she quickly withdrew her hand, turned to look at Shen Yuechen and said, "The slave is so big, I have never seen such good clothes." ”

Shen Yuechen stretched out his hand and touched it, only to feel that it felt smooth as water, and it was indeed an extremely high-grade thing.

Mother Wu said happily: "It looks like it's all good things." After speaking, she picked up the brocade box containing the bird's nest and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Miss, look, this white bird's nest has few impurities and good color. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she raised her eyebrows and frowned slightly.

The people of Yunjin Pavilion and Zhenbaozhai then followed, measured the size for her, selected the jewelry, and worked all morning.

Wu's mother brought a special sour plum soup to quench everyone's thirst and cool off, and Shen Yuechen then sealed two red envelopes and rewarded them with tea money.

Those mothers-in-law are people who often go in and out of large households to do business, they are very good at observing words and feelings, they are attentive and thoughtful, they reach out to take the reward, thank them again and again, say a lot of good auspicious words, and promise to deliver new clothes within the specified time limit.

Shen Yuechen smiled with satisfaction, thanked her, and asked Cui Xin to send them out.

Her yard had never been as lively as it was today, and it felt a little unreal.

After a while, Wu's mother packed up the things on the table in turn, made tea again, and saw that Shen Yuechen was already sitting in front of the bookcase, thoughtfully, and hurriedly walked over and put down the tea bowl and said, "Miss, don't you want to take a nap today?" ”

Shen Yuechen answered the question, glanced out the window and said, "What about Cui Xin?" ”

"Cui Xin is boiling hot water in the kitchenette. Miss told her that something was wrong? ”

Shen Yuechen shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Mother Wu, I want to ask you to do me a favor?" ”

Mother Wu hurriedly said, "What do you have to say about Miss?" ”

"I want to ask you to help go out and find someone to inquire, are there any rumors about the Zhu family outside recently? Even if it's a small and inconspicuous thing, it's fine. ”

"Huh?" Mother Wu was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded and agreed: "I know, I'll go out early tomorrow morning to inquire." But...... Is Miss worried about something? ”

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "It's nothing, maybe it's just that I have too much heart." ”

The old lady has never liked herself, but now she suddenly exalts herself like this, which really makes people think about it.

Mother Wu was still delighted by the old lady's sudden change wholeheartedly, but when she saw Shen Yuechen's preoccupied appearance, she also felt a little strange in her heart.

Is this change a good thing or a bad thing?

Shen Yuechen received the new clothes and accessories rewarded by the old lady, and the news quickly reached the ears of the Xiao family in the second room.

Hearing this, Xiao Shi snorted a sneer from his nose, and suddenly picked up the small copper hammer on the table and slammed it on the walnut, the husk splashed everywhere, and even the kernels inside were smashed.

Seeing this, Mother Bai next to her hurriedly said, "Madame, be careful that your hands hurt, let the old slave help you get it." ”

Xiao Shi put down the small copper hammer, and a little displeasure appeared on her beautiful face, and said: "Tut-tut, the old lady is really distressed, and it is both clothing and jewelry." ”

"It's strange to say, the old lady has always been lukewarm to the big girl, why is she suddenly generous today?" Mother Bai glanced up at Xiao's face, and deliberately continued: "Moreover, if the old lady does this, it will also make the second lady lose face." Some people know that the old lady feels sorry for this precious granddaughter, but they don't know, and they think that the second lady doesn't know how to take care of the house, and she is usually not careful with the eldest girl. ”

There was no doubt that these words were adding fuel to the fire, and they suddenly made Xiao's heart even more uncomfortable.

Xiao Shi first glared at Mother Bai, and then said coldly: "The old lady will raise her like this, but it's all because of the Zhu family, and she just wants to do a good job on the surface." Isn't it just two pieces of material and a few pieces of jewelry? Go back and ask the people of Zhenbao Zhai to come over, and let them prepare more delicate head and face jewelry, which is not the best, and is not allowed to be sent. ”

When Mother Bai heard this, she knew that the second lady was going to start spending a lot of money to show off herself, and then she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, our sister Chang'er is naturally beautiful, where can the big girl who is full of bad luck be compared?" ”

Xiao Shi didn't buy her compliment, but frowned and said, "Nonsense! Sister Chang'er is a child who was raised by me like holding an eyeball in her hand since she was a child, and she will be rich and wealthy in the future, and this visit to Zhu's house is an excellent opportunity, and I will not allow anyone to steal her limelight and block her way. ”

She is still very confident in her daughter's appearance, as long as she prepares well and leaves a good impression on the Zhu family at that time, it is estimated that there will be some hope for this marriage.
