Chapter 67: But the Begonia is Still the Same (2)
Sun Yan Yan smiled and waved his hand, making humble words lightly, but he was happy in his heart, this is really a long face.
Mrs. Qin flickered, the water in her eyes flickered, and she took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "Hey, after all, you are a good housekeeper, with the living faΓ§ade of your eldest girl, how can the rest of the girls still be worried about marrying?" β
"But it's a false praise, even if there is Sister Yu's faΓ§ade there, the relatives of her sisters can't fly in vain, and someone must be willing to push the boat down the river." Sun said meaningfully.
"Mrs. Sun is too modest, isn't this the master of your family?" Mrs. Li couldn't listen to it, so she sneered coldly, and her tone was not good.
After that, several ladies had different expressions, Mrs. Qin's eyes rolled, and she took Shen Shuixuan's hand, looked left and right, and couldn't hide her liking from the bottom of her heart: "Mrs. Li, this is true, I think this girl is good." β
Shen Shuixuan's face turned red, and he glanced at Sun Shi crampedly, and saw that she glanced at this end, which was to make a down-and-out appearance again, and smile smartly.
Mrs. Li's face moved slightly, she fanned slightly, and also looked at this end, but she was noncommittal.
"Mrs. Sun is really blessed, we can't compare." Seeing it in her eyes, Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows and changed her words.
Sun held the teacup and squinted: "Oh, don't say that, a few ladies are the real blessed people, and now my sons are successful one by one, I can't envy them." β
Sun's words were wrong, but he was already impatient.
Mrs. Qin covered her mouth and chuckled, her face showed pride, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Li, and she still didn't say a word, but she looked at her and smiled: "Look at the heart-to-heart with you, but I didn't notice it, it's not too early, so I won't bother." β
After speaking, Yan Yanran stood up, Sun's forehead and chin raised, and motioned for Shen Shuixuan to send him off.
Looking at Mrs. Li who walked two or three steps away, Sun was busy striding over, holding the backward Mrs. Qin, and her tone was a little sneering: "Now I can't see Mrs. Li's intentions, I hope you can help me a lot." β
Mrs. Qin's eyebrows were crooked, and fine lines were squeezed out of the corners of her eyes: "She is that kind of person, don't worry about it." After a pause, she glanced back at Mrs. Li, who was already drifting away, and continued: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and good things still need to be grinded, I see, you wait a minute, there will be many days to come to the door in the future." β
When she came back from outside, Shen Shuixuan was still waiting outside the main house, Sun rubbed her eyebrows, a little impatient, and only asked the little girl to send her back.
The room was quiet, Sun thought for a moment, he was really angry, picked up the teacup and was about to smash it to the ground. Mother Sun's eyes were quick, and she hugged her hand: "Big lady, this can't be helped." β
Sun closed his eyes, swallowed his breath back into his stomach, and the tea cup slammed on a few pieces: "What kind of shelf is there, if it is not for his family, who will come up with a hot face?" I really don't know what to do. β
After a pause, her chest rose and fell for a while, and her face turned pale: "I really opened my skin, just the son of his family, I don't know how to make progress, and I mess with flowers and grass everywhere, but fortunately, I voted for the right person, otherwise who would look at it?" She was content, and went to Kyoto to inquire about any innocent white family who was willing to marry their daughter apart from my family! β
The voice was very loud, and the girls in the room didn't dare to talk more, Mother Sun's eyes were rolling, and she put on a smiling face: "The eldest lady can't be angry, no matter how you say it, this is the concubine's intention, even if the Zhao family's heart is high, they don't dare to have a disobedient heart, you just put your heart back in your stomach and wait and see what happens." β
After hearing this, Sun glanced at Sun's mother meaningfully, her breath gradually stabilized, and her eyes were dim.
-
Today's events soon spread all over the house, and when Yu Yu said that it was already evening when Shen Shuisha listened.
Shen Shuisha took the teacup and blew it, his face was not shocked. This happened earlier than in the previous life, and the difference is that this time it was her second sister who looked at the Zhao family, but it was all expected.
She secretly slandered herself, as soon as this incident came out, the other side of Yin Yan Pavilion was going to be uneasy.
After thinking about it, he patiently listened to what Yu Yu said, and thought for a moment, but what he said at this time was irrelevant: "What I told you last time, is there any news?" β
Yu Yu shook his head and lowered his voice: "Do you have to wait for a while, and go again with Ming'er's maid." β
The hookah lightly bowed, and when the jade retreated, the curtain under the door opened, and the little girl reported, Mrs. Shen, please.
As usual, a few girls sat in the side room eating tea and chatting, waiting for the word to pass on from the other end of the main room.
What is different from usual is that when Shen Shisha entered, several girls had different expressions and were rarely silent.
The little girl brought the tea, Shen Shuisha held it in her hand, tried the tea warm, took a sip slightly, and involuntarily glanced at her second sister.
As she guessed, thinking that it was for this morning, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and the handkerchief in Shen Shuixuan's hand was already out of shape.
Without exception, Feng Wanniang was also very depressed at this time, her eyes were faintly circulating, and she lost her former brilliance.
Shen Shuisha saw it in his eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he lowered his eyebrows slightly, but he heard Feng Wanniang speak in a weird manner: "Second sister is a good blessing, I heard that there was a guest here today, we are not so qualified to greet each other, and my aunt just asked you to go." β
As soon as these words came out, they poked at the sore spot, Shen Shuixuan gritted his teeth, and he was not angry: "I'm not rare, if my sister wants to go, if she invites an elder one day, she can replace me." β
Feng Wanniang was stunned and pursed her lips: "I am blessed without my sister, I don't value it, I'm afraid it will make the joke worse." β
"Then what kind of cool words did you say, you know that you are a joke, don't open your mouth when you should shut up, so as not to be disgusted." Shen Shuixuan glanced at her, and his tone was not good.
Feng Wanniang's face was pale, her nails were against the tea bowl, and her strength was pale.
After a while, he glanced at the hookah, and smiled without smiling: "On that occasion, the third sister can't go, it can be seen that the second sister has the longest face." β
Hearing this, Shen Shuisha held the teacup for a moment, and his eyebrows were faint: "What is my sister doing, the second sister can't ask for anything, and she came to me to wake up her spleen." β
didn't expect Shen Shuisha to answer like this, Feng Wanniang's throat choked, and she was completely speechless.
The atmosphere is getting colder and colder, looking at the faces of several sisters who are all ugly, Shen Shuixi's eyes are light, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and came out to play a round: "The eldest sister is out of the house, and the second sister is the eldest in the family. If we all go and get together, we will stir up the people. β
Hearing this, Shen Shuiyan's face turned slightly pale, pursed his lips, and followed her words: "I finally have a person who can speak, unlike some people, who are still under the fence, and they really think that they are the girls of the Shen family, but they don't know that under the same roof, their lives are different, is it possible that on such an occasion, they will call a girl outside?" β
Feng Wanniang's face was so dark that she slammed the teacup heavily, this action made Shen Shui's pupils shock, staring at her incredulously, and listening to her snort from her nose: "The second sister is so powerful, the big guys have seen it, but I don't know, does my grandmother know that my sister is so powerful?!" β
Listening to Feng Wanniang move out of Mrs. Shen to make a raft, everyone's faces changed, Shen Shuisha saw that her second sister's body trembled with anger, but because of the last punishment for kneeling in the ancestral hall, she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the grass rope, so she didn't dare to say anything.
Shen Shuisha chuckled in his heart, and took Feng Juanniang's words without being salty or indifferent: "Compared with the second sister, Sister Wan is not much worse, in our house, there is such a sharp girl, it is better to talk to her grandmother together, so that she can be impressed by the old man." β
Hearing this, Feng Wanniang's throat choked for a while, glanced at Shen Shui's eyes, and saw that her face was as calm as water, and suddenly felt all kinds of grievances in her heart, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Shen Shuisha turned a blind eye and took a sip of tea.
After all, the side room ended in silence, and the movement on the other side of the main house was not small, as if Mrs. Shen was also angry about this morning's incident, blaming Shen Muyan and his wife for not consulting with her and making decisions on their own, and Shen Muyan and Sun were training and listening, and they didn't dare to intervene easily.
When a few girls entered, the faces of the elders also darkened slightly, and Shen Muyan sat with Sun with his eyebrows lowered. Old Madam Shen's attitude also softened, and she seemed to have made a compromise.
Shen Shuisha sat down in his skirt, this was an expected result, after all, this was the words of Shen Guifei, and it was also with the acquiescence of the saint, and now that the wood is in the boat, it is impossible to be uncompromising.
At the end of the meal, several people at the table had their own thoughts, and the Sun family was still courteous in front of Mrs. Shen, and there were many people who greeted the girls.
-
It's also difficult, when they go back to their respective houses, it's rare that Shen Shuixin didn't go all the way with Shen Shuisha, the little girl in Aunt Yu's house was already waiting in the hall, and when she saw someone coming out, she stepped forward and saluted, leading Shen Shuixin away.
The lights in the courtyard of Huilan were bright, and when Shen Shuixin stepped into the courtyard door, he had a guess in his heart, and it was not until he saw his own little lady that this guess was confirmed.
Aunt Yu waited in the house, sat upright on the big kang in the room, held her daughter's hand and greeted her for a long time, and finally cut to the chase.
Seeing that Aunt Yu's eyes were black and white, dim and unclear, and the candles in the room were flickering, she added some light to her eyes: "I heard about this morning's events." β
Aunt Yu paused, saw her daughter purse her lips, sighed and continued: "I heard that you only called your second sister to the front yard, when it was time to eat, what did your grandmother say?" β
Shen Shuixi's face was flat and a little perfunctory: "Grandmother's meaning, how can my daughter easily guess it." β
"Why aren't you in a hurry? Now according to the eldest lady's intentions, she intends to push your second sister to the Zhao family, which is a super-grade earl's house, such a good marriage, but we can't miss it, now it depends on your grandmother's intentions, if she has a trace of opposition, we have a chance to fight. Aunt Yu let go of Shen Shuixi's hand, a little angry.
Shen Shuixi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his tone was a little excited: "Little lady! Let it go, my daughter doesn't want to marry, the Earl's family is bright on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging, my daughter is not from a good background, I really want to pass, I am afraid that I will be pressed by others everywhere, such a day, the little lady has suffered for a lifetime, do you want your daughter to repeat your mistakes? β
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Yu's face moved slightly, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed. Shen Shuixin squeezed out a tear and gently covered it with a handkerchief: "In my daughter's life, I would rather be a poor wife than a noble woman, if Xiaoniang insists on this, then I will go to the temple to make a vow, cut my hair and be a sister-in-law, and be a companion for the rest of my life." β
Aunt Yu's face changed again and again, seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, she didn't dare to force it, she was stunned for a moment, and she was about to speak, but her words were blocked by Shen Shuixi's throat.
"It's so late, it's really unreasonable, my daughter went out in a separate yard, if my son doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will be disliked by others." Shen Shuixi's tone was cold, and he didn't look at Aunt Yu squarely: "If Aunt is okay in the future, you don't need to call me." β
After that, he lifted the curtain and went out without looking back.
