Chapter 223: Lou Family Banquet

Old Lady Shen slightly calmed the atmosphere, smoothed her breath, leaned on the mat, and said calmly: "So I took you to the capital, so that those people don't teach you badly." ”

Ye Lingwu was shocked and undecided, and said, "The old lady took me to the Hou Mansion because of this?" ”

"Or else?" Old Lady Shen's expression was fierce, but there was a touch of self-deprecation at the corner of her mouth, and she sneered a few times: "There is also guilt." I asked Mama Xuan to go to Yuzhou to inquire about you privately, knowing that you were having a hard time, you were thrown to Qingquan Temple at a young age, and the little girl had to go to the stream to wash her clothes in winter, her hands were full of chilblains, and she had to climb a hundred meters high ladder to chant in the scorching sun in summer. ”

Ye Lingwu's nose was sour, his fingers were twisted around the corners of his clothes and he didn't dare to speak, the old wounds that had already formed scars were uncovered again, and the bloody wounds were allowed to be hot and humid in his eyes.

It's like a child who has done something wrong, and the adults finally forgive her, but as a result, the mistakes she made have new consequences, and she naturally doesn't dare to bring it up, and then hide it like a snowball.

Old Mrs. Shen understood Ye Lingwu's thoughts, and couldn't help sighing: "You have been undisciplined since you were a child, it's understandable to think more about yourself, my wife has lived a long time and has seen a lot, as a person who has come over, I don't want you to marry Bang Zhou, even if he likes you." Bang Zhou is a military general, the battlefield kills the enemy sword without eyes, once something happens, it is heaven and man forever, you have tasted the pain of separation since you were a child, and the old woman as your elder hopes that you can marry a safe and stable family. ”

Ye Lingwu was not confused, she knew who the ordinary people in Mrs. Shen's mouth were.

But Jiang Yuan was not much better to her than a jackal's den, and her sudden approach was only based on the fact that she knew her secret.

Old Lady Shen closed her eyes slightly, and there was a slight beeping charcoal fire burning sound in the copper furnace with Fushou pattern on the ground. She said: "You are young, you don't understand these things when you tell you, just like your sister Lan Shu, she used to be a tendon to the end." ”

Ye Lingwu said: "I understand, the old lady is for my good, I have lived a fatherless and motherless life since I was a child, and it is very good to have a confidant who grows with me." ”

Old Lady Shen opened her eyes, swept Ye Lingwu's face, nodded and said softly: "It's good that you can understand, two people are together, in addition to family background, we also have to talk about it." ”

Ye Lingwu hung his head blankly.

Before, Shen Zhan said that she and Shen Ci were not suitable, but now Mrs. Shen said that she and Shen Zhan were not suitable, and she knew in her heart that she was not suitable for Jiang Yuan.

Old Mrs. Shen knew that she had gone in, so she said unhurriedly: "Actually, let's not talk about high-ranking nobles, let's just say that ordinary people, whose parents don't want their girls to marry high, but if they are wronged after marrying, who in their mother's family dares to stand up." If it's a good fate, it's best to marry a considerate and caring husband, but my wife said something bad, you look at the main mother and your second uncle, you look at the two of them, whose life do you think you want to live? ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned, and when he raised his head to look at Mrs. Shen, his head suddenly appeared in his head The appearance of Zhao and Shen Chongwen's affection in the Hou Mansion suddenly appeared. Zhao's children are both on his knees, her husband is considerate, and her children and husband never travel far away, even if they travel far away, they will always write letters and worry about each other.

As for Qin Mingyu, although she lived a decent life as the mother of the Hou Mansion, her husband died young, her son was not always by her side, and the courtyard was often deserted.

“…… Naturally, it's the second uncle. Ye Lingwu had to admit it.

Old Mrs. Shen was silent, she didn't twist the Buddha beads, and said for a long time: "You go back first, I asked Mama Xuan to invite the master mother to come over when you came, and the time to pinch should come, someone has to say something general about this matter." You go back and rest, and you'll have to hold a family feast starting tomorrow. ”

Ye Lingwu responded, and when he got out of the house, he and Rong Xiu quietly walked back to the small courtyard, sat in front of the bookcase for a while, and then suddenly got up and asked Rong Xiu to open the inkstone and grind the ink.

Rong Xiu unfolded a piece of snow-white rice paper, Ye Lingwu carried a bucket pen, and a piece of paper was quickly written.

The content is nothing more than a letter to Song Lao.

In addition to the simple greetings, it is Ye Lingwu's current life, and then it is the mention of Mrs. Shen's proposal to her marriage, which is full of joy between the lines, and the big and small things make her write very interesting, without a trace of unhappiness.

But when Rongxiu went to see Ye Lingwu's expression, she saw that she was worried, and then a tear fell on the rice paper, and the ink instantly smudged.

Rong Xiu was stunned and said, "Girl......"

Ye Lingwu ignored it, grabbed the page of rice paper that was about to be stained by tears, crumpled it into a ball, and continued to bury his head in writing, until it was dark.

Rong Xiu handed over the written letter to the maid in the outer courtyard as usual.

Tan Yunge was quiet in the main room, only the smoke cage on the ground slowly spit out cloud smoke, and Old Lady Shen and Qin Mingyu sat wordlessly, waiting for each other to speak first.

After a while, Qin Mingyu lowered his face first and said, "Mother came to me to say good things for Ling girl?" I'm ugly to say that I have already given way when you took her to the capital, and now if you really promise her to my son, I will never agree. ”

Old Lady Shen slowly opened her eyes, looked at her fiercely, and said, "When did I say that I was going to give her to the boat?" ”

Qin Mingyu's expression suddenly brightened, and then he collapsed and said, "What did my mother say when she came to me?" ”

Mrs. Shen said: "I came to you to tell you that instead of saying something trivial to the girl, it is better to take care of your son, and you are the first day you know as a mother?" ”

Qin Mingyu was speechless, and couldn't bear to say: "I know the character of the boat, but I can't guarantee the idea of who will move first." Mother didn't see Bang Zhou's appearance of defending Ling girl, and he didn't have my mother in his eyes at all. was injured before, and since he was acting for others to see, he didn't know how to inform me, and even his own family had to hide it. ”

"Those people outside are staring at this mansion, if he tells you that if you don't react as a housewife, then this drama will not be able to continue."

“…… Shafts. Qin Mingyu said angrily.

Old Lady Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly: "He is the same as his father. Over the years, I have also lost the boat to support this great Ningbei Hou Mansion, and I will definitely lose the other, and you will be angry and have a lot of understanding. ”

Qin Mingyu was silent, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Old Mrs. Shen simply said: "These days, you are too sad, your body is a lot weaker, don't worry about the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, it is the right thing to rest and nourish your body." ”

"The Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is a big event, that kid Jingyan will come to Yusu City soon, and a large family finally gets together, how can I worry less about it?"

Old Lady Shen didn't speak, but instead picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea slowly, as if she was considering, and after a while, she still said: "That's it, your body is more important, leave this matter to the juniors." ”
