"Grandma." She spoke softly, interrupting the old lady's thoughts. "Second sister has learned a lot from Master Yao since she was young, and it's worth trying the method she mentioned to relieve waist pain. Moreover, now that Madam Yao is back in the capital with Second Sister and Zi Rui, our interactions with the Yao family should also be restored. Chen Yu will tell Mother to prepare a gift for the Yao family at the end of the year."
"Impossible!" The old lady was suddenly awakened by Feng Chenyu, the Yao family was a crime personally determined by the Emperor, who dared to have dealings with them? Wouldn't that be slapping the Emperor's face? "Yao Shi returning home has nothing to do with the Yao family, and there is no rule for the husband's family to prepare gifts for the concubine's maiden family. Let's not mention this matter again." With a wave of her hand, this matter was turned over.
Feng Yu Huan didn't mind, whether or not there were seniors in the manor to take care of her made no difference to her. On the contrary, she couldn't wait for fewer entanglements in this manor, aside from Yao Shi and Zi Rui. If they wanted to fight, then let them fight thoroughly, it wouldn't be in vain that the original master died in a mountain village to give her new life.
She sat back, and the powder on her side pushed the chair out a bit further. The two of them accidentally touched a corner of their clothes, and the powder took out a handkerchief to pat it twice before putting it away, giving Feng Yuhan a white look.
She blinked her eyes and took out a handkerchief to pat the corner of her clothes twice, then handed the handkerchief back to Manxi who had returned to her side: "Take it out and throw it away."
Her face turned green with anger, and she had no way to deal with her second sister, so she could only sit on the chair and twist her fingers grievously.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the door, and from far away, someone shouted in a loud voice: "Is the old lady up?"
It is Shen's.
The old lady disliked Shen's loud and boisterous personality the most. Not only did she lose face, but also dragged her down with her. What is this commotion about? What time is it now? Who is she shouting for?
Feng Chenyu saw that Old Lady Shen's face didn't look good, so she quickly got up to greet her and supported Shen as she said: "Mother is the best at coaxing Grandmother into a good mood." As they spoke, she noticed that Shen was holding a strand of jade rosary beads in her hand, which she had never seen before, clearly something new. The jade was exquisitely delicate and transparent, obviously one of the most valuable types.
Chén yú xiǎng qǐ zuó rì xià wǔ xiǎo jiù jiù lái le fǔ lǐ yī tàng, měi cì xiǎo jiù jiù lái dū huì gěi mǔ qīn bù shǎo hǎo dōng xī, xiǎng bì shì zuó rì yī bìng dé de.
English Translation:
Chén the fish thought of yesterday afternoon when his uncle came to the house for a visit, every time his uncle comes he always gives his mother many good things, I suppose it was obtained together yesterday.
She changed her mind and immediately spoke up: "Is this the rosary that Mother said she wanted to give to Grandma yesterday? It's actually made of glass, such a valuable item is indeed most suitable for Grandma to hold!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned, and Shen's family was also stunned. They glanced at the things in their hands, looked at Feng Chenyu squeezing her eyes secretly, and knew that something must have happened in this house before she arrived. Thinking again about what Li Niang had just come to report to her about the events of Liu Yuan from yesterday to early morning, her gaze suddenly shot towards Feng Yuexiang.
It must be this girl who is causing trouble again!
She didn't quite believe what Li Ayi had just reported, as she remembered that neither Madam Yao nor her daughter were the type to fight back. Had living in the mountains for a few years changed their nature?
Feng Chenyu pinched Shen's arm and whispered, "Mother is still in a daze, hurry up and let grandmother take a look!"
Shen clenched her teeth and was heartbroken!
Yesterday, her brother Shen Luo had just sent over some good stuff, and she had just gotten started with it when it was going to be handed over, how could she swallow this breath.
But it's not that easy to swallow, if someone else asked her to give in, even Feng Jin Yuan wouldn't do it. But when Feng Chen Yu opens her mouth, it's different, this daughter is her entire hope, and she values her more than her own useless son. Moreover, Chen Yu has always been a girl with a mind of her own, she would never shoot without a target, if she says to give in, there must be a good reason for it.
Mrs. Shen composed herself, grasped the rosary in her hand again, and finally relaxed a bit. She took big strides forward, smiled brightly, and handed the beads to the old lady: "Old lady, I was just teasing you earlier. Look, my daughter-in-law has brought good things for you!"
The old lady's heart was already moved when she heard Shen Yu mention the glass-like jade, and she no longer cared about Shen's loud shout earlier. Her two eyes stared straight at that string of pearls.
Shen's heart ached so much that she had to pretend to be happy and introduce it: "I'm not sure how valuable this is, but yesterday my brother from my mother's side came to visit me at the mansion. In the past, he would always bring many good things, but this time he only brought this one thing. It seems that if it weren't extremely precious, someone as cautious and reliable as him wouldn't have used this as a gift."
This is clearly stated. In the past, a large pile was sent, and everything was good. This time, only this one thing is sent, but its value is the sum of that entire pile from before.
The old lady couldn't help but be overjoyed, her mouth was stretched wide with happiness. The rosary in her hand seemed like a precious treasure, she almost kissed it.
Phoenix Feather has seen people who are greedy for wealth, but she hasn't seen a whole family of mother and daughter-in-law being so greedy. That's why it's said that between two people, if you want to maintain a long-term relationship, only benefits are the most reliable.
But she can't let these people get too comfortable, today coming to this yard is not really to ask for peace, she came with the intention of adding trouble to these people.
Then she glanced at the maid Jin Zhen following behind Shen Shi, and saw that this girl didn't mind the heat even in broad daylight, and was actually wearing a high-collared brocade jacket.
It's okay, just as the little maid loves beauty, the master is also spoiled, but the high collar can't block the faint red mark on the neck.
What's with the hickey?
She took another close look and nodded, yes, it was indeed a hickey.
She secretly licked the corner of her lips, but this action was caught by Feng Xiang Rong. The little girl shuddered and subconsciously bumped into Feng Yu Huang with her elbow.
She turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Xiang Rong, what are you doing?"
Feng Xiang Rong finally mustered up the courage after a long time and spoke out: "Er, second sister, what do you want to do?"
She smiled lightly, "When people are hungry, they have to eat; when thirsty, drink water. Similarly, without clothes to wear, one naturally has to ask others for some. They want to gloss over this matter, but I won't let them."
Having said that, he stood up straight and ran towards Jin Zhen.
Feng Xiang Rong didn't know what Jin Zhen had in mind, but she subconsciously muttered a phrase to herself: "Good luck with that." Then she picked up the tea and really started watching the play.
Feng Chenyu also saw her movements, and before she could ask any questions, Feng Yuexiang exclaimed in surprise: "So the fabric on Mother's side is also so prone to fading!"
Everyone fell silent.
Phoenix Feather, your determination for clothes is really firm!
Shen naturally understood the concept of "color fading", Lao Tai had already told her that Man Xi was wearing that suit, she hadn't woken up yet, but after being told by Lao Tai, she suddenly became spirited and hurried to Shu Ya Garden.
But what does it mean that the fabric on her side has faded?
Shen twisted her head and saw Feng Yuexiang studying Jin Zhen's collar with a serious face. She was puzzled, but also followed suit to take a look.
As expected, if you don't look carefully, you won't notice that Jin Zhen's neck has a red mark on it. And this girl didn't notice before, how come she's wearing a high-collared dress in the late summer?
Jin Zhen naturally understood what Feng Yuexiang had seen, but she couldn't think that the shoes she lost last night were taken away by Feng Yuexiang. She thought Feng Yuexiang saw the lip print and deliberately pulled it to her clothes. It seems that everyone underestimated this second miss before, or as Li Nian said, after living in the mountains for a few years, the whole person's temperament has changed completely.
She wanted to hide, but retreated one step, and Feng Yuhuang chased after her one step, until she forced Jin Zhen into the corner of the table with no way out. Only then did she grab her collar again and ask: "Miss Jin Zhen, if this isn't a color run from your clothes, what is it? Did you break out in hives? We'd better call a doctor to take a closer look!"
Jin Zhen was so frightened that she subconsciously said, "Don't invite a doctor!" What a joke! Doctors are all what kind of eyes? One glance and they can see through everything. She's just a maid, after all, and doctors wouldn't give her any special treatment. As soon as Jin Zhen thought of this, she changed her words - "It's just the clothes fading."
"Shen shouted again, 'When did I ever wear faded clothes for you?'"
Chen Yu hastily pinched her again, then made a conciliatory gesture: "Of course it's not something Mother would wear. It must be that the new fabric recently purchased by the public has some issues. Why don't we just change them all?"
Feng Yu's eyes narrowed into a curve, and she had heard of being cheated by her father in her previous life. Now that Shen Shi was here, it turned out to be a cheating daughter. It seemed that Feng Chenyu had been responsible for making excuses for her since childhood, which was quite tiring.
No longer bother about Jin Zhen. As long as the goal is achieved, she doesn't care about anything else.
Jin Zhen hastily returned to the middle of the house, saw all the masters staring at her, and suddenly became flustered, knelt down with a thud: "It's all my fault, I didn't look carefully when I put on my clothes, I'll go change into another set now." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Madame, seeing that the other was still in a tense state, couldn't help but cast a pleading glance towards Feng Chen Yu.
Feng Chenyu nodded for Shen's family and said, "Then go back and change into another set of clothes."
Shen glared at Jin Zhen, looking as if he wanted to swallow him whole. Jin Zhen's scalp went numb as he backed away, thinking that he was in for a good scolding, and couldn't help but secretly resent Li Zhu.
After this commotion, the matter of clothes could no longer be covered up.
The old lady knew that it was a good thing for Shen Shi to do, but she didn't expect Feng Yuexiang's few words would force her to speak up and preside over justice. Fortunately, Chen Yu had already found a reason for her, so Shen Shi wouldn't lose too much face.
The old lady touched the rosary in her hand, and the discomfort in her heart was greatly reduced. "What Shen Yu said is right, it must be that the material prepared for the banquet has a problem. Madam Shen, as the mistress of the house, this matter will be handed over to you to handle. Also, arrange someone to buy new clothes for Ah Huang and Zi Rui, as well as their mother today. It's not possible to make them now, so just go out and buy some ready-made clothes first. Can't let Ah Huang wear old clothes everywhere, it would lose the face of the Feng manor."
Shen bit her teeth and reluctantly said, "Yes, I know, I'll send someone to take care of it right away. And that good-for-nothing slave who's in charge of clothes in the mansion will also get a good scolding." After finishing speaking, she glared at Feng Yuexiang again, then looked at the several children present and frowned: "What happened to the rules of the mansion? Yesterday you just returned to the mansion, how come this morning you didn't come to pay respects to Old Madam?" This sentence was obviously directed at Yao Shi.
Feng Yu Huan smiled and explained, "Auntie didn't come over because firstly, she gave her good clothes to Man Xi, so she could only wear the rough clothes from yesterday that were covered in dust. It would be embarrassing for Grandmother to see her like that. Secondly, since they just moved into Liu Yuan, Auntie got up early to clean, but there was too much work to do and she couldn't finish it even when Ah Huan came out."
