When I arrived at Gantang Courtyard, I didn't expect that I was the first. After coming these days, I gradually figured out the habits of Mrs. Yu. Before breakfast, she must drink a cup of fragrant tea, which is a way for her to maintain her health.

Shu Yao cleaned his hands, put the jasmine tea into the tea cup, took the hot kettle from Xiyue's hand, and slowly poured out the hot water. According to Mrs. Yu's habit, the first flush is not drunk, Shu Yao lined the handkerchief and took the tea cup up, covered the tea lid, and poured water into the spittoon next to it.

Then he rushed to the second rush. waited until this brew was completed, and then handed the teacup to Mrs. Yu with both hands.

Old Madam Yu took it with a smile and said:

"It's hard for you to be like this, but you are more filial than my granddaughters, who come to serve my old woman every day."

Shu Yao covered his mouth and smiled, and said:

"Don't say that, old lady, you are young, you are in a good time, and you will enjoy endless blessings for your children and grandchildren in the future. Besides, I robbed Xiyue of their work, and I was just outside, and Xiyue also said that I cut off people's errands, such as killing my parents, and wanted to make an enmity with me! Look, if Yu Yao and the others are here, Xiyue can't wait to take a knife to drive us out? ”

Mrs. Yu laughed at what she said, and said:

"Is Xiyue still so atmospheric, I don't know. I'm not afraid that there is no work to do, in previous years, Zhuangzi sent a lot of skins, all pressed in the library, she wants to be fine, just go to the library, there is the worm-eaten one, quickly pick it out, maybe it can be sold for a few dollars. ”

Xiyue was coming in from outside, and when she heard this, she felt that her head was too big when she thought of the stack of skins in the warehouse, but even if she really turned it over, she just stood by and watched, and her own little girls did it, so she pretended to be bitter and said:

"Let's just say it, Second Miss, if you hadn't robbed me of my light errand, where would there be such a tiring job sent to me!"

Old Madam Yu knew that she was talking about it on purpose, funny, and not serious, so she scolded with a smile:

"I think you're getting lazier and lazier, and you're picking and choosing when you work, picking fat and thin, and you lack the discipline of Liang's mother!"

A few people talked and laughed, and Shu Yao said that the twenty-third day of the first lunar month was the day of her and Lu, and her sister intended to hold a ceremony for her, and then invited the old lady to go and have a show.

Mrs. Yu was unwilling, while asking what other arrangements were there that day, she took her hand and looked at her carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Shu Yao had a good appearance, a good figure, and a good bearing, she really couldn't find any fault, and she sighed in her heart that she didn't know who would be blessed to marry her in the future.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liang's mother lifted the curtain, and Shen Junzhuo walked in from outside, and asked as soon as she came in:

"Who is going to do the ceremony?"

Shu Yao didn't expect him to hear it outside, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he only lowered his head and didn't speak. Old Madam Yu took the phone and said with a smile:

"The main master is here! Now that you know, you have to add a gift to the past, so that it is not in vain that Shu Miao called you 'Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle' for a long time! ”

Shen Junzhuo looked at Shu Yao, and saw that she lowered her head slightly, and the flush on her cheeks could be seen clearly, which was quite a touching gesture. His heart was hot, and he smiled, and said:

"That's nature!"

He also said that the official family wanted to hold a lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and asked Mrs. Yu if she wanted to go and see it. With that, he watched the girl's reaction with the rest of his eyes.

Shu Yao really became interested, and when he raised his head, his eyes were a little excited, but after a while, he fell silent again. He didn't know why, apparently she wanted to go, and since she wanted to go, he had a way to take her there.

Mrs. Yu is nothing, after all, she is a few years old, although there has been no such activity in Beijing in recent years, but it is not without it before, she went, and it felt like that, but it was crowded, and it was very messy.

She was not interested, and said:

"It's the same at home, and when the time comes, I also put a lantern at home. I don't like to join in the fun. Go back and ask Yu Yao a few of them, if you want to go, please arrange it, don't be bumped into. He turned his head and asked Shu Yao again:

"Do you want to go? If you want to go, let your ninth uncle take you over, with him, everything is in order, you don't have to worry about anything. ”

Shu Yao listened, and looked forward to it even more, but she just left her sister alone in the Yulan Courtyard for the reunion festival, she still couldn't bear it, even if she felt that the opportunity was rare, it would be a pity to miss it, but she could only say:

"I won't go, I'll stay at home with you and my sister, old lady."

I see, I'm always thinking about others. How can this girl be so good? Somehow, Shen Junzhuo had a faint pride in his heart, and his face was full of smiles, and he said:

"It's okay, you can go if you want, and when the time comes, I will have someone take Brother Yan's daughter-in-law to Gantang Courtyard, so that your mother and your sister will have someone to accompany you. It not only fulfills your filial piety but also fulfills your wishes. ”

I really don't know when he will see that this is her wish, Shu Yao's heart feels sweet, more comfortable than basking in the warm sun in winter, her face is even redder, and she said in a low voice:

"In this way, there will be Uncle Lao Jiu."

She was so polite, he was a little unhappy, not to mention that he was a little uncomfortable listening to her always calling him "Uncle Nine", but he couldn't find fault with her, so he nodded vaguely and found a chair to sit down.

Old Madam Yu saw that Shen Junzhuo's face was rarely so good, thinking that it must be that things in the court were going well, so she didn't ask much, and only told Liang's mother to change the tea.

Liang's mother had just gone out, and Shen Yu came. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Junzhuo sitting, Shu Jiao standing between him and Mrs. Yu, for a moment, he looked at the two of them and felt a little talented and beautiful!

He hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at Shu Yao again, he felt that she was standing there a little awkwardly.

Shen Yu walked to the center of the ground, saluted both Old Madam Yu and Shen Junzhuo, and stood in an orderly manner after getting up, waiting for Shen Junzhuo to speak.

Their Shen family has always been like this, and the seniority of the elders is there, and it can never be overcome. When the juniors came to the elders, they trembled in addition to respect. But at this moment, in Shen Yu's heart, there was a lot of dissatisfaction with this ninth uncle, and he changed the way he didn't even dare to look at Shen Junzhuo in the past, raised his head, and met his gaze.

It's just that he was too confident in his guts, and with the resentment in his heart, he glanced at Shen Junzhuo, just one glance, and the next moment he was defeated, panicked, he didn't know where to put his eyes, and his hands began to tremble a little.

He kept saying to himself in his heart: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he will never break out and hurt others. But the coldness and contemptality he saw in Shen Junzhuo's eyes made him tremble uncontrollably.
