Having not seen Mrs. Shen for more than two years, it is hard for Shen Ziqiao to imagine that the old lady in front of her, skinny and skinny, is the energetic, round and fair old lady in her memory.
It's just a different person!
The only thing that made her feel familiar was probably the eyes full of hatred and hatred she stared at her, as if she had ripped out her heart.
Well, when she took away Pan's dowry back then, it was indeed like digging out the flesh of an old woman.
The girl who walked in from the door had a pair of bright and clear big eyes, her round face turned into a pointed melon-seeded face, under her delicate nose was spotless and vermilion lips, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a playful look. Lovely smile, the silly little girl back then has grown into a beautiful woman.
Mrs. Shen felt that something was strangling her neck, she seemed to see Pan when she was young.
Also stunned by Shen Ziqiao's appearance were Mr. and Mrs. Shen Er and his wife.
Second Master Shen even said something softly, and Zhou Shi who was standing next to him immediately changed his face, holding his hands tightly, trembling slightly in his sleeves.
"Grandmother, Jiaojiao is back." Shen Ziqiao took everyone's reactions into consideration, but kept her face calm, and saluted Old Shen Furen in a regular manner.
Pan Lize also bowed his hands, "Mrs. Shen."
Old Mrs. Shen stared at Shen Ziqiao fiercely, as if she wanted to rush forward and tear her apart.
Could it be that the old woman still hates her so much after such a long time? Shen Ziqiao was silently sad. She is obviously a little beauty who loves flowers when everyone sees them. Why did she always feel that she was a super villain when everyone was in the Shen family
"Mother?" Second Master Shen quickly came back to his senses, he naturally understood the reason for the old lady's gaffe.
Even he couldn't restrain himself from calling Pan's name, let alone the old lady.
Mrs. Shen took a deep breath. Trying hard to calm down the hatred that surged up, "Why don't people give a letter first when I come back, I don't have any preparations, in case the reception is not good. Isn't it a joke for my uncle? You are not young, how can you improve a little bit?" None, don’t you know how to do things thoughtfully?”
Although the voice is very gentle, but the words that come out are not gentle at all.
Just got home. Is the old woman eager to suppress her? Is this Shen Ziqiao's real grandmother
"Grandmother, I sent someone to write a letter to my family. However, it seems that our speed is relatively fast. I really want to see my father as soon as possible, so most of them take the water and travel day and night. I forgot about home... just. My Qiao Xinyuan was originally taken care of by the Lin family, does it mean that the servants of the family have to tell in advance to clean up a guest room before they can do it well?" Shen Ziqiao looked ignorant and puzzled, it is possible that the servants of the family are all Damn, how hard can it be to tidy up the guest room.
She knows it! She knows it! As soon as this stinky girl comes back, she will be so angry that her heart, liver and lungs will ache. Look at what she said. After she left, did the servants in the family become bad
Pan Lize had long heard that the old lady of the Shen family didn't want to see Jiaojiao. He also thought that she was his own granddaughter after all, so even if she didn't like her, she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult. He didn't expect to see such a tit-for-tat side on the first day after returning, and the old lady of the Shen family was really not easy to get along with.
"Uncle, I made you laugh. My granddaughter has been spoiled since she was a child. She has an unreasonable temper. I don't know if she has caused trouble in Dongyue and made my in-laws worry." Feeling ashamed in front of others, I forced myself to suppress my unhappiness, and said to Pan Lize with a smile,
"Mrs. Shen loves her grandson very much. In fact, Jiaojiao is obedient and obedient in Dongyue. Not only does my mother like her, but even many old wives and wives in Dongyue like to be with her." Pan Lize said with a smile.
Dare to say that his niece is not good? You Shen family thinks it's not good, but the Pan family treats Jiaojiao like a baby. Their Jiaojiao is good-looking, and they are polite and gentle to everyone. Who in the Pan family doesn't like her, let alone those who often come to Pan's house The female relatives who are guests, if the old lady didn't stop her, how many people would come to propose marriage.
Want to humiliate Jiaojiao in front of him? Find a face for yourself.
Mrs. Shen smiled, with a ferocious smile on her face, "Really, that's good."
"Mother, my uncle and Jiaojiao came to the capital all the way. I must be extremely tired. If you have something to say, you might as well talk about it later." The second master Shen hurriedly said in a low voice, and let the old lady and Jiaojiao continue talking, I don't know what will happen thing.
When he came back, he heard that Jiaojiao's sharp teeth were exactly the same as that of Pan's back then. Now that he saw it, he realized that what he said was true.
Pan's daughter... how could she not be outstanding
I heard that her Tianbao shop in Dongyue is very good, not to mention the shops in the capital. Pan's things are more effective in her hands than when they are in the old lady's hands.
And do it better.
Old Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Ziqiao, deliberately ignoring Pan Lize, and said to Shen Ziqiao lightly, "Then you go back first."
Everyone in the Pan family is so annoying!
Shen Ziqiao didn't bother to care about this old woman's thoughts, she said to Pan Lize, "Third Uncle, then you should rest first, we will talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."
Anyway, Shen Xiao hadn't come back yet, so they couldn't get any more news.
Pan Lize smiled and said that besides sending Shen Ziqiao off this time, he actually came here for the shops and restaurants left by the old man in the capital.
…
…
The Lin family and others are already waiting for Shen Ziqiao and the others at Qiao Xinyuan.
It has been two years since Shen Ziqiao left, and the power of the housekeeper has already fallen into Zhou's hands. Fortunately, the manpower has already been arranged properly, so that Zhou will not be able to replace everyone with her confidants in these two years.
"Miss San!" Hongyu went up to meet her, and the corners of her eyes became moist all of a sudden.
"Hi everyone, I'm back." Shen Ziqiao happily greeted the person who was short in front of her, "Oh, Hongyu, you are much more beautiful, and Ping'er has grown taller..."
Everyone surrounded Shen Ziqiao and entered the room. Lady Meng hurriedly said, "I know you are all thinking of Miss San, but Miss San is exhausted, so if you have anything to say, save it for tomorrow."
Shen Ziqiao couldn't hide the tiredness on her face, but she smiled brightly, looking at the maids who loved her loyally, "Okay, okay, I know you all want the little letter I brought from Dongyue, Hongying, go give it to them Send them, or they will refuse to leave at my place tonight."
"Oh, everyone, look, our third lady is getting more and more talkative, and I wanted to please her in front of her, but now it seems that no matter how we please, the third lady can see through it at a glance." The Lin family said on purpose.
Everyone laughed.
After talking and laughing for a while, Hongyu had already ordered the little girl to prepare hot water, and the Lin family led everyone back.
Shen Ziqiao took a comfortable bath, and the hot water washed away all the tiredness on her body.
During dinner, Shen Ziqiao called Hongyu and the Lin family over, and asked them to talk about what happened in the family in the past two years.
"... The eldest lady and the second lady are already married. The eldest lady married the fourth young master of Liu Yushi's family, and the second lady married the eldest young master of Li Shilang's family. Then Chen Xueling heard that she was also married half a year ago. It's a continuation... After hearing about the matter of the Eldest Master, the family spent a lot of money on housekeeping, and the Second Madam did not know what to say to the Madam. The Madam asked the servants to open the door of the warehouse, saying that such a big incident happened in the Shen family, and the Third Madam would also pay for it. Take out some money to subsidize and clear the door for the elder... The slaves refused to open the door, but fortunately the second master stopped, otherwise the old lady would have forcibly snatched it away..." the Lin family whispered.
Hongyu added on the side.
After they finished speaking, Shen Ziqiao had finished eating, and slowly wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief.
"Get some? What are you going to do? My father was impeached for colluding with the Jin people. Even if the Shen family is included, nothing can be done." Shen Ziqiao snorted. If it was useful, would the entire Sheng family be beheaded?
Lady Meng hurriedly signaled Shen Ziqiao not to talk nonsense, "The Eldest Master was wronged, it was the Sheng family who wronged the Eldest Master."
Shen Ziqiao smiled and said, "I just want to say something."
The old woman just didn't give up on her dowry, and she always wanted to dig some back.
"Miss San, the old lady has seen a lot of girls recently, and I heard that she is going to be betrothed to the young master." Hongyu said.
Shen Ziqiao groaned, "Be engaged to elder brother? She is trying to destroy my elder brother, right?"
As far as that old woman's vision is concerned, the woman she is looking for is definitely not good enough for her elder brother. She is determined to protect Shen Zikai's pure and clean heart, and never let any other woman ruin it casually.
It took a lot of effort to pull Shen Zikai out of Sheng Peiyin's mouth, but he couldn't fall into someone else's mouth.
"What does the old lady mean by this? She doesn't know that the lady has already engaged the eldest young master?" Mrs. Meng was furious when she heard Hongyu's words. Old lady Shen was going too far. Don't worry, if the Zhu family doesn't know the truth, they will think that Madam has no credit and self-destroys her promise.
Shen Ziqiao's eyes widened, "Huh? Brother is engaged?"
The book never mentioned that Shen Zikai was engaged! Even the girl from which family never mentioned it!
"That's right, it's Beijun's Zhu's family. Madam even gave her a jade pendant to Miss Zhu's. This year, the girl from Zhu's family should be married. The two families have agreed to marry when Miss Zhu reaches Ji." Mrs. Meng said. .
Shen Ziqiao only felt that the sky was thundering, did she ignore the plot, or did her time travel change the plot? "Does my brother know?"
"Eldest Young Master has always been in the know, otherwise how could he still not be married?" Mrs. Meng replied.
"I think what the old lady means is that she wants to settle the marriage before the eldest young master comes back. At that time... you can't go back on your word at all." The Lin family snorted, angry at the old lady's intentions.
Shen Ziqiao smiled lightly, "Brother should be back soon, these few days... the old lady will tell me whoever she meets."
