Chapter 67: Seeing Through the Scheme
At noon, Zhan Beichen took Shen Chuhua to have lunch in a Hunan restaurant before returning to Zhanfu.
Zhan Beichen was called by his father to the study to discuss the dinner.
Shen Chuhua slept in their new room.
When she woke up, it was half past three in the afternoon.
Zhang's mother knocked on the door and came in, saying that Mrs. Zhan had prepared a night of brown sugar ginger and jujube tea for each young grandmother, and the dinner would take several hours to replenish the strength of the young grandmothers.
Shen Chuhua took the tea and asked Zhang's mother to retreat.
Open the lid, and the heat of ginger jujube tea is steaming out.
The sweetness of brown sugar and the fragrance of wolfberry come to the nose, which is faintly mixed with the light bitter taste of the hedge grass.
Shen Chuhua frowned, staring at the ginger jujube tea, only to see the precipitation at the bottom of the tea, mixed with a little cold fence grass.
Fence grass is an extremely cold Chinese medicine, and when put together with hot foods such as brown sugar wolfberry, it will make people have diarrhea.
The corners of Shen Chu's lips were slightly raised, it seemed that in order to prevent her from attending the dinner party, so that Shen Yingxiang could replace her, Mrs. Zhan still put a lot of thought into it.
With the red date tea, pour it directly into the sink and rinse it away.
Fortunately, Shen Chu also painted Dong Traditional Chinese Medicine, so he would not fall for that woman's tricks.
It was not too early, and she changed her clothes.
The moon-white plain cheongsam, the neckline and hem are embroidered with cloud lace with a mixture of blue and silver silk threads, and Shen Chu's figure is delicate and beautiful, as if the moonlight is draped on his body.
With waist-length green silk, pulled up with a white hosta, and lightly painted with light makeup, she looks like a beauty who came out of an ancient painting.
Shen Chuhua stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at himself in the mirror with considerable satisfaction.
At this moment, there seemed to be footsteps in the outhouse.
Shen Chuhua thought it was Zhang's mother, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the face of a middle-aged woman with high spirits.
This person is Mama Li next to Mrs. Zhan.
Shen Chuhua glanced at her, and also had a cold face, "Did Mama Li go to the wrong house?" ”
"Madame Zhan asked you to go, now!" Mother Li picked up her tone, without the slightest respect for her, and drooped her wrinkled old face, as if everyone else owed her money.
Shen Chuhua got up, and said coldly as he walked out, "After all, you are a subordinate, and you still have to knock on the door when you enter Si Shao's room, so you don't understand the rules." ”
"You ......"
Mother Li didn't wait for a refutation, Shen Chuhua had already left her suite one step ahead of her.
In the small living room on the second floor, there was only Mrs. Zhan.
Seeing Shen Chuhua walk in, a fake and kind smile appeared on her charming face, "The first painting is here?" ”
Shen Chuhua nodded, "Auntie!" ”
Mama Li followed in, and her eyes had been scratching Shen Chuhua behind her back, eager to eat her.
"You're going to wear this to the dinner that our war palace has prepared for you and your husband and wife in a moment?" Qi Mei saw that Shen Chuhua's clothes were too good-looking, so she said the opposite, "It's too plain, Dachangji won't like it!" ”
"Okay, then I'll go back and change into a festive one after a while, thank you for the reminder!" Shen Chuhua pretended to be obedient.
"That's right, the ancestor is bedridden now, can't attend the dinner, when she was awake a few days ago, she left you a hairpin rewarded by the queen mother in ancient times, every daughter-in-law of the war family who married in has it, at the dinner, you must wear it, so that the guests who come to see it, and your father must also see it, otherwise he will be unhappy, you are a newcomer, I still have to tell you these rules."
"Good!"
"Go ahead, let Mama Li take you upstairs to the treasure room to get it."
