I haven't seen Mrs. Shen for many years. Looking at his mother, Shen Wenhua felt that his mother had indeed aged a lot these years, but she was in good spirits, and Shen Wenhua felt relieved.
"You are still willing to come back, is it because I don't urge you, you will stay in the south of the Yangtze River for the rest of your life, and you won't come to see me, an old woman?" Mrs. Shen was a little partial to her second son, and Shen Wenhua ignored her back then. Willingness, insisting on marrying Shan Banyue, and even after marriage because of Shan Banyong always contradicting her, Mrs. Shen's heart is naturally even more biased. Seeing Shen Wenhua come back now, she was very happy at first, but after seeing Shan Banyan Tree, Mrs. Shen was not happy.
"Mother, my son doesn't dare!" Knowing that Mrs. Shen had some complaints about him insisting on staying in Jiangnan all these years, Shen Wenhua had no choice but to admit his mistake at this moment.
"Don't dare, I think you have been happy in the south of the Yangtze River all these years, and you almost forgot about me as a mother. You don't come back to see me on holidays, do you wait for me to come, and you won't come to see me when I die? Huh?" The eldest son is good at everything, but he doesn't get close to her mother, and he always refuses to listen to her, so Mrs. Shen sometimes gets angry.
"Mother, don't say that, the son is unfilial!" Knowing that Mrs. Shen was furious, Shen Wenhua hurriedly lowered his head at this moment, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
In fact, isn't he involuntary in doing so? If his mother hadn't been so prejudiced against Rong'er, why did he avoid it
Just thinking of his elderly mother, Shen Wenhua felt somewhat guilty in his heart.
"Hmph!" Seeing her son seriously admitting his mistake, Mrs. Shen felt a little more at ease, but thinking of the events of these years, thinking that her son was partial to his daughter-in-law and didn't understand her painstaking efforts as a mother, Mrs. Shen felt uncomfortable in her heart. I don't want to deal with it.
"Mother, don't be angry, you have to pay attention to your health. I will always be by my mother's side in the future." This time, it is impossible to leave after entering Beijing. Shen Wenhua is also well prepared. Naturally, he must calm down Mrs. Shen. Anger, to prevent Mrs. Shen from getting angry.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, can I not be angry? They say to raise children to guard against old age, but I haven't seen you in these years. How many years can I live? Could it be that you really want to come back and die for me?" After accumulating anger for many years, Mrs. Shen certainly won't give up just like that. She is also angry at the moment, if she doesn't vent, how can she feel at ease
Mother and daughter-in-law, which one is more important? This eldest son always disappoints her in this matter!
"Mother, don't say that again, my son is unfilial, I hope mother will forgive me!" Knowing that Mrs. Shen was really angry, Shen Wenhua knelt down and did not move at this moment, and Shan Yuerong never said a word. She knew that Mrs. Shen was really angry. It's because she's here that she's having such an attack, so she can only endure it.
Shen Jingshu knelt aside and was also anxious. Seeing that Mrs. Shen was so angry, she was afraid that she would use this to punish Shan Banyue, so she gave Shen Zihan a look, and immediately raised her voice, "Grandmother, don't get angry, yes We are unfilial and make grandma sad!"
"Grandmother, don't be angry, we know we're wrong!" Shen Zihan's emerald voice sounded, which made Mrs. Shen notice him. Seeing the cute and well-behaved eldest grandson, Mrs. Shen's expression suddenly changed. After calming down a bit, Shen Wenli at the side naturally noticed the change in Mrs. Shen, and came out to make peace, "Mother, don't be angry, brother and the others just came back, it's cold here, don't freeze, when the time comes The one who feels distressed is still you, mother!"
"Yeah, mother, brother also knows it's wrong. Don't be angry if you are old, but don't get angry, it's not worth it!" Guo Yuanshuang who was on the side was originally watching a joke. After some relief, the husband and wife winked a little and stopped watching jokes.
"Grandmother, don't be angry, don't be angry, Ya'er will beat your back!" Shen Jingya's life is much better than Shen Jingshu's. Mrs. Shen loves her second wife, so naturally she loves Shen Jingya too. Seeing her granddaughter now Obediently beating herself on the back, Mrs. Shen smiled immediately, "You are still filial, get up, if you kneel down again, you may be scolding me, an old woman, for being cruel in your heart, right?"
"Mother, my son doesn't dare!" Knowing that Mrs. Shen was also having a fit, Shen Wenhua of course accepted it, so as to prevent Mrs. Shen from being angry and making things difficult for Shan Banyong in the future.
"I don't think you dare, get up, don't kneel down, it seems that I am a cruel old woman."
"Thank you mother!" Pulling Shan Banyan to get up, Mrs. Shen saw it, her eyes were filled with displeasure, Shen Jingshu naturally saw it, and now she pulled Shen Zihan and smiled, "I have seen grandma, but Shu'er I've always missed my grandma!"
"Grandmother, my parents are talking about grandma all the way. Han'er has never seen grandma, but she misses her very much." Although Shen Zihan was not very happy to greet the old man in front of him again, he had no choice but to go when his sister pulled him away. up.
"Hehe, this is Zihan, isn't it? It's so big in a blink of an eye, come on, let grandma take a look!" Mrs. Shen still valued the eldest grandson, especially since she hadn't seen Shen Zihan since she was born. I just heard that this child is very smart and well-behaved. Now that Mrs. Shen saw her, she found that Shen Zihan was indeed very good-looking, and she was very cute and cute, so she couldn't help but like it a little.
"Grandmother!" Grinning, Shen Zihan also felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Mrs. Shen, but fortunately Guo Yuanshuang untied him, "Hehe, mother saw the grandson, but she forgot about us It’s a strange brother.” Shen Wenli is a romantic person, and there are countless concubines in the family. After Guo Yuanshuang gave birth to Shen Jingya in his early years, he hadn’t seen anything for many years. Now that he finally got a brother, he still can’t occupy the title of eldest grandson. , who is a few years younger than Shen Zihan, Guo Yuanshuang is really not reconciled.
Back then she got pregnant as soon as she got married, and the eldest daughter was only a few months younger than Shen Jingshu, why did this son come so slowly
"Look at you, you are such a big man, but you are still jealous? I love Zihan and Qi Geer equally. Now I just look at Zihan's cuteness. I took a few more glances. How can you Are you still jealous?" Seeing the second daughter-in-law like this, Mrs. Shen smiled, thinking of the eldest son of the second son, it was indeed not easy to come, Mrs. Shen took two things in the box next to her, but one gave the same "Look, this jade pendant is one for each person. I don't favor anyone. Is this possible?"
"Hehe, our brother Qi still delayed Zihan's luck, otherwise how could we get such a good jade pendant?" Looking at Mrs. Shen's jade pendant, Guo Yuanshuang's eyes lit up, and his heart was full of joy.
"Look at what you're talking about. Could it be that I have treated Qi Geer harshly on weekdays? Give it to Qi Geer to play with, don't say I'm so stingy!"
"Thank you mother!" He took it with a smile. Guo Yuan's eyes were shining, and he took the jade and secretly looked at it. Knowing that the jade was valuable, he was also happy.
"Zihan, take it, it's a gift from your grandmother!" Seeing Guo Yuanshuang like this, Mrs. Shen seemed to be used to it. The second son has no skills, and he just took a job in the household department. She didn't want her son to be wronged. , so I found a lower family status for my son. Originally, she didn't want her son to be inferior to others, but this Guo Yuanshuang has a small vision, but she is used to coaxing Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen loves the house and Wu, so she likes Guo Yuanshuang.
"Thank you grandma!" Compared to Guo Yuanshuang's eagerness to wait, Shen Zihan seemed much calmer. He took the jade pendant with both hands, and Shen Zihan didn't look sideways. Although the jade pendant is excellent, he has never lacked these things since he was a child. Although he is only a little over eight years old now, he has a good manner in dealing with people.
"Grandma doesn't have anything for you, I hope you like it!" Seeing her grandson's demeanor, Mrs. Shen frowned as she thought about Guo Yuanshuang's expression just now, but she didn't say anything more, just looked at Shen Jing at the side. Shu, also sent something, "This is Jingshu, right? I haven't seen you for many years, but she is a big girl." Don't blame Mrs. Shen for patriarchal preference, the importance of the eldest son and grandson to the family, Mrs. Shen is very clear. In addition, because Shan Yuerong gave birth to a daughter back then, Shen Wenhua was afraid that she would embarrass him, so he simply went to Jiangnan, so Mrs. Shen naturally lost a little liking for Shen Jingshu.
"Grandmother!" Nodding, Shen Jingshu has a graceful and dignified look. Compared with the beautifully dressed Shen Jingya sitting next to Mrs. Shen, she is more calm and grand. This kind of bearing is naturally like that of Guo Yuanshuang. There is no way to cultivate petty people.
"It's changed a lot, I can't recognize it anymore, and grandma has nothing to give you, so use this hairpin to play with!" I gave Shen Jingshu a hairpin, and it can be seen that it is also very delicate, although it is not as good as Shen Zihan's The jade pendant is precious, but it makes sense.
"Thank you, grandma!" She took it with a smile. Guo Yuanshuang saw her and felt a little dissatisfied. She was about to say something, but Mrs. Shen seemed to know what she was going to say. She glanced at her and stopped her, " Well, Ya'er naturally has it too, Ya'er, this is yours!" The same hairpin, the two girls are about the same age, but I don't know if it's Shen Jingshu's illusion, she thinks that Shen Jingya's hairpin is more beautiful than hers. Much more refined.
"Thank you grandma!" She took it with a smile, and Shen Jingya put it on directly, "Grandma's hairpin is so pretty, Ya'er likes it very much, and grandma treats me the best!" They get along very happily, and Shen Jingya is not polite at all. Mrs. Shen is also very tolerant of Shen Jingya. Compared with Shen Jingshu, this kind of attitude is really a world apart.
"It's fine if you like it. It's specially made for you. It looks good to me!" She looked at Shen Jingya with a smile. After all, she grew up by her side, and her feelings were naturally unusual. It's very kind and kind. If the former Shen Jingshu saw her, she might be dissatisfied and even noisy, but after so much experience, Shen Jingshu knew that Mrs. Shen still loved her all the time, and it was only because of Shan Banyan that she had some opinions on her. In addition, they are not familiar with each other. She will work hard, and when the time comes, Mrs. Shen will naturally treat her like she is now. At that time, she will have to see, what will the second room people use to compete with her
"Hehe, is that right? Then I'll just wear it like this. The things my grandmother gave me are all very good, and Ya'er likes them very much!" How could the things Mrs. Shen gave me be bad? Mrs. Shen was born noble, and the dowry is quite a lot. Over the years, the people in the second room have often taken things from Mrs. Shen. Shen Jingya knows that Mrs. Shen still has a lot of good things, otherwise how could she be so flattering
"You, your mouth is sweet!" Comparing the two of them, the old Mrs. Shen's intimacy is naturally obvious. Shan Banyan looked a little worried, and couldn't help but look at Shen Jingshu, afraid that her daughter would feel uncomfortable, and had some thoughts, But I didn't expect Shen Jingshu to comfort her with a smile, Shan Banyan felt relieved seeing her daughter can do this.
"Mother, there are still many things to deal with along the way. Why don't sons go back and tidy up first, and after a while, come and talk to mother?" Knowing that Mrs. Shen was partial, Shen Wenhua couldn't see his sons and daughters being wronged. Seeing that Mrs. Shen was only focused on talking to Shen Jingya and completely ignoring her daughter, Shen Wenhua was also a little dissatisfied.
"What's the big brother anxious? It's hard for the whole family to get together, let's talk, mother misses big brother all these years." Of course, Shen Wenli didn't want Shen Wenhua to leave just like that.
"Yeah, brother, Brother Qi is still sleeping and will wake up soon, he should come to see brother, brother, wait a minute!" Guo Yuanshuang only had a son for many years, and he loves him very much on weekdays. Qi Geer is only five years old now, just the naughty age, Guo Yuanshuang managed to coax Qi Geer to sleep, knowing that Qi Geer has a temper when woken up, so naturally he would not bark, so he allowed his son to sleep all the time . Mrs. Shen felt sorry for her grandson, so of course she didn't say anything. This matter was not a big deal, but Guo Yuanshuang's intention to make an elder wait for the younger generation was a little too much.
"Second daughter-in-law, Brother Qi is still sleeping, so let him sleep, and it won't be too late to see you later!" Mrs. Shen really didn't expect Guo Yuanshuang to be such a mindless person, and to do this in front of Shen Wenhua. What do you mean? Doesn't this take her eldest son too seriously
"Then, okay!" Guo Yuanshuang was also a little anxious. The people in the big house are not in the old house these years, and everything here is taken care of by her. It's hers here. But now that Da Fang is back, isn't she about to hand over what she has in her hands? How can she be content
"Okay, you are tired from the journey, Wenhua, Jingshu, Zihan, you should rest first, the eldest daughter-in-law stays, I have something to tell you!" Knowing what the second daughter-in-law was worried about, Mrs. Suppressing Banyan Tree alone is naturally on the side of Erfang.
"Mother, is there anything else?" Is there anything you want to tell Rong'er alone? Shen Wenhua looked at Shan Banyan worriedly, really worried that Shan Banyan would be wronged.
"Why, are you afraid that I won't succeed if I eat your wife? But it's been a long time, I just want to talk to her, what are you in a hurry for?" Seeing her son so guarded against herself, Mrs. Shen was also angry. I was even more determined in my heart to suppress Shan Banyan's arrogance, lest the other party ride on her head!
"Mother, we have worked hard on this journey, how about waiting for us to wash up before coming to see mother?" Shen Wenhua was always worried that Mrs. Shen would make trouble alone.
"Are you so reluctant to part with your daughter-in-law? You can't do it without talking to me?" Originally, the anger was lowered, but now seeing Shen Wenhua like this, Mrs. Shen suddenly became angry again.
"Mother, that's not what son means, it's just..." Wanting to say something more, Shan Banyan stopped him and shook his head, "Master, you and Shu'er should go back first, I happen to have something to say to mother!" He didn't want to cause conflicts between mother and son because of himself, although Shan Yuerong knew that Mrs. Shen would not let her go easily, but now that she has decided to come back, Shan Yuerong is also ready.
Now that she has sons and daughters, all the children are complete, and her waist is straight, if Mrs. Shen wants to get angry with her, then she has to see what excuse she has.
"Well, mother, let's go now!" Seeing his wife's expression, Shen Wenhua knew that the more he favored, the worse it would be, and it was not easy to intervene now. Although Shen Jingshu and Shen Zihan were a little worried, they saluted and left, "Grandma, let's see grandma again later!"
After leaving, Shen Zihan finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Sister, do you think grandma will embarrass mother?"
"Don't worry, mother is fine!" It is certain that Mrs. Shen will be embarrassed, but at present, it should be fine. Daddy just came back, so grandma still has to take Daddy's feelings into consideration.
"But I just saw that grandma is so fierce. She doesn't seem to like us very much. Why is that?" Dafang's family is harmonious. Shen Zihan has been smart since he was a child, and he likes it very much. Inevitably a little uncomfortable.
Before coming to Beijing, his mother and sister told him that his grandmother was such a wonderful person, but his grandmother was not good to his sister and mother, and he didn't like his grandmother!
"Zihan, don't say that, grandma naturally likes us, but we are not often around grandma, so the relationship is naturally weaker. From now on, if we are filial to grandma, grandma will definitely like us, you know?" In the previous life, although Mrs. Shen favored the second wife, she took good care of her as an orphan. It can be said that if it weren't for Mrs. Shen's care for her, with the methods of the second lady, she might not even have any bones left
So in this life, she will treat Mrs. Shen well, at least try to make Mrs. Shen change her view of her mother, and not make things difficult like before.
"Really? Sister, you didn't lie to me?"
"Of course my sister won't lie to you. You haven't seen your grandmother since you were born, but your grandmother always remembers your birthday and gives you gifts every year. Do you remember?"
"Of course I remember."
"So grandma still loves us very much, it's just that we get along less. So we will often visit grandma in the future. How about spending time with grandma?"
"Okay, sister, I'll listen to you!" Shen Zihan admired this sister very much, and he would listen to whatever Shen Jingshu said.
"Well, let's go and see our house!"
"Okay!" Although they were a little worried, a few people still went to see the house, but because Shen Zihan was old now, he should live alone, so he didn't stay with Shen Jingshu. The two explained and left. Shen Jingshu followed her to her yard. She saw it from a distance. It was not bad, but she remembered that she didn't live here before. "Where's my yard before?" The eldest daughter, Shen Jingshu's identity is naturally different, her yard is of course hers, how can she give it to others
"Miss, this..." Seeing Shen Jingshu's question, the servant hesitated.
The eldest lady was still so young when she left, how could she still remember
"What's wrong? I used to live in a very good courtyard, but people lived in it?" If she remembered correctly, Shen Ziqi occupied her courtyard in her previous life. Later, when Shen Ziqi grew up and lived alone, it was occupied by Shen Jingya. Understand. The yard is excellent, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the location is also good, no wonder those people want it.
But in her previous life, she was a powerless orphan who could only watch her house being taken over. In this life, she will not be so stupid!
The people in the second room have always wanted to invade their big house's property. I'm afraid they have made a lot of money all these years. If I continue to indulge in this way, they will still be the same as in the previous life, becoming more and more greedy, right
"Miss, the second young master was not in good health when he was born, so the second madam asked for the yard, saying that it would prevent the second young master from getting sick. Now, now the second young master lives!" ? These people were too embarrassed to come and snatch her niece's yard.
"Well, I see." Nodding, the servants thought that Shen Jingshu would say something, but Shen Jingshu didn't say anything, and they were relieved.
…
Shen Jingshu naturally won't have an attack right now, Mrs. Shen didn't like her very much, and it's not good to cause big troubles as soon as she comes back. The second bedroom in that courtyard has also lived in for a long time, and she doesn't care about it for a while, she has to plan slowly, but she must not make Mrs. Shen dissatisfied with her because of such a trivial matter, and it will be even more troublesome at that time.
She had her own plans in mind, Shen Jingshu acted like a normal person, and asked people to pack up, but she told Chunmei and the others to only take out the frequently used ones, and leave the rest alone. Although Chunmei and the others were puzzled, they still did so. up.
"Kyoto is much better than Jiangnan. Look, the yard is much bigger. Miss, do you think so?" Ever since she heard that she was going back to Beijing, Chunxi has always been in a good mood. She knows how to be lazy, but these days are busy, especially after coming to Kyoto, it seems that the whole person is very happy, making people think that something good happened to her!
"Really? It seems that Chunxi likes the capital very much!" Seeing Chunxi like this, Shen Jingshu smiled, and that smile made Chunxiao a little nervous for no reason, "The capital is more prosperous than the south of the Yangtze River, and it's still the capital, what's wrong Is it? But the servant girl said the wrong thing?" Chunxi thought that Shen Jingshu was angry with fear on her face.
"You're right. Let's clean it up. There will be no one living there for some days. It seems that you have to get used to it!"
"Miss, don't worry, if you come to ask for it, this place must be well cleaned."
"Well, it's really clean. I'll take a rest first, and you guys clean it up!" After glancing at Chunxi, Shen Jingshu didn't say much, ordered someone to clean it up, and went back to the house by herself.
Thinking that Shan Banyan was still with Mrs. Shen, Shen Jingshu was a little worried.
What would grandma tell mother? I hope you don't embarrass your mother too much.
Although she was a little worried in her heart, Shen Jingshu also knew that Mrs. Shen would not be so stupid and would have an attack as soon as she came back, so she didn't think much about it.
Shan Banyan's side was indeed as Shen Jingshu thought, and did not suffer too much embarrassment, but after several people had left, Mrs. Shen's face immediately relaxed, "Do you know that I will leave you alone, But for what?"
"Mother has something to ask."
"Let me ask you, I kindly sent people to serve you before, what happened? Why were they all sent to Zhuangzi? But what dissatisfaction do you have with me, an old woman?"
"Mother, my daughter-in-law dare not!"
"Don't you dare? I think you are very courageous, relying on Wenhua to pamper you, don't you take my mother-in-law seriously? Don't think that I don't know anything about you in Jiangnan these years, you give I'll make it clear!" With a cold face now, Mrs. Shen is much more terrifying than before.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't mean to be disrespectful at all!" Mrs. Shen doesn't like her, Shan Banyue knows it all too well. Just don't resist.
"No? How much has your future been delayed because of not having Wenhua? Don't you see where the candidates in the same class as Wenhua are now? If it wasn't for you, Wenhua has been released for so many years, has it been delayed? As a wife, husband and son, you have done a really bad job!" The eldest son was the Sanyuan Jidi who was very popular at the time, and his glory is still talked about, but the eldest son is too serious about his children's personal relationships. The good old days have been let go for so many years, people who were much worse than the eldest son are now second-rank officials, and my eldest son is only a small fourth-rank official. Mrs. Shen has always had strong self-esteem, how can she bear it
"Mother, it's the daughter-in-law's fault..." In fact, Shan Yuerong is also aware of Mrs. Shen's blame. She has always been a little guilty in her heart, feeling guilty for her selfishness. Nothing to say.
"You also know it's your fault. Look at what you've done these years. Our Shen family members are weak, but you are still jealous. You stop Wenhua from taking concubines. You see, the second room is now a concubine. How many concubine daughters are there, how can you get two like your eldest wife? How can you give me the face to meet the ancestors of the Shen family!"
