On the way home, Mingyu finally couldn't help but said excitedly: "Girl, why are you so powerful? My servant's feet are weak when I see the master, but you can still talk to him fluently."
She didn't care whether Shen Tianshu responded to her or not, and continued: "This Mr. Zhao seems to be a filial and good man. No wonder he is also a good official."
"But it's not all because of filial piety."
"What do you mean, girl?" Mingyu blinked and looked at Shen Tianshu.
"You forgot Ding You." Shen Tianshu said, "If Mrs. Zhao passes away, Mr. Zhao will have to return to Ding You's hometown for three years. Three years is enough for the forces in the DPRK to undergo earth-shaking changes. Who else will be there by then?" Remember his hard work over the past six years?"
Mingyu was confused by what she said, and asked with a confused look: "Then is Mr. Zhao filial or not?"
"Of course filial piety is filial piety, but there are too many things mixed in, making it less pure." Shen Tianshu sighed, "Mr. Zhao is about the same age as my father, but he looks like he is ten years older. He is a good person." As long as an official's character remains unchanged, he can benefit the people no matter what position he holds."
Although Mingyu didn't understand half of what he was hearing, when Shen Tianshu said that Zhao Qu was a good official, he immediately smiled and said: "As long as he is a good official, I say, it is impossible for a girl to treat a bad person."
Hearing this, Shen Tianshu shook his head and said, "You girl, doctors treat diseases and there are no distinctions between good and bad."
"Anyway, Mr. Zhao is a good man." Mingyu said with a smile.
Shen Tianshu couldn't explain it to her, but seeing her so simply happy made him feel a little more relaxed.
After taking two doses of medicine, Mrs. Zhao's condition improved and stabilized, and Shen Zhonglei could finally go home with peace of mind.
As soon as Shen Zhonglei returned home, the rules in the house were immediately re-established, and Shen Tianshu had to go to the main room to greet Shen Zhonglei and Xu according to the rules.
Mingyu put out several sets of dresses for her to choose from. Shen Tianshu frowned when he saw them: "Why are they all so colorful? I remember there is a bamboo green jacket in the box, just wear that one!"
The original owner's clothes were mostly in light and elegant colors, which suited her preferences.
"My good girl, I was scolded by my wife last time for dressing too plainly. Why did you forget so quickly?"
Shen Tianshu is not the original owner, so he is not afraid of the Xu family at all.
What's more, Xu Yihao's injury hasn't healed yet, and Xu doesn't dare to cause trouble for her now.
Mingyu had no choice but to put Shen Tianshu into a white quilted skirt and a bamboo-green jacket, tied up his cloak, and gave her the hand stove that had just been filled with charcoal to hold to warm her hands. She did not forget to turn around and tell the people in the room: "I will accompany the girl to the main room to pay my respects. You should keep an eye on the house and don't play around or run around."
Although Mr. Xu is mean, but because Shen Zhonglei is a strict and strict person, the rules in the Shen family's public life are still in place.
As the eldest daughter, Shen Tianshu lives closer to the main house than other sisters, and the yard is larger.
Coming out of Shuangtang Courtyard, passing through a long and narrow garden, and then passing through two moon gates, you will find the main room where Shen Zhonglei and Xu are.
Shen Tianshu walked along the corridor towards the door, and heard a burst of laughter in the room, mixed with Shen Zhonglei's rich laughter from time to time. It was really a happy atmosphere.
"I really don't want to be the one who ruins the atmosphere." Shen Tianshu said softly, "It's a pity that there's nothing I can do!"
Sure enough, when the little maid at the door lifted the curtain and Shen Tianshu stepped into the room, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped.
"My daughter has met her father and mother." Shen Tianshu didn't care what the atmosphere in the room was like. After he stepped forward to salute, he went to sit down next to Shen Zhonglei and then looked up.
Shen Zhonglei and Mr. Xu were sitting on the couch, and a boy in his early ten years was nestling next to Shen Zhonglei. He was none other than Shen Yuanlin, the direct son of the Shen family, the daughter of Mr. Xu.
Shen Yuanlin was white and fat, standing next to Shen Zhonglei as if he had no bones, and from time to time he would twist his body coquettishly.
Shen Zhonglei was obviously very helpful, and his eyes were filled with deep love when he looked at his son.
After Shen Tianshu saw Shen Yuanlin's appearance clearly, he frowned slightly, always feeling that something was not right.
But that trace of doubt was fleeting. Before she could catch it, she heard someone scream: "Sister, didn't my mother say before that you should not dress too modestly at home? Young girls should dress appropriately." Brighten it up, otherwise others will think something bad has happened to our family!
Shen Tianshu looked up following the sound and saw a girl wearing a cherry red flowered jacket looking at him with a frown.
Not only was she dressed in bright clothes, but she also had gold and silver on her head, as if she had a jewelry box on her head, which made people feel exhausted just by looking at her.
The girl leaned over and squeezed on the couch with Mrs. Xu, holding Mrs. Xu's arm, very affectionately. It was Mrs. Xu's daughter Shen Yunyao.
Another girl standing behind Mrs. Xu also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, eldest sister, mother said this for our own good. After that time, didn't mother specially ask someone to open the warehouse and find clothing materials to send to us? .
"Look, the clothes I have today were newly made by my mother. My eldest sister must also have some, but I have to wear old clothes. Doesn't this hurt my mother's heart?"
This yes-man was Shen Yunhui, the concubine's daughter, Ping Niang. She was singing harmony with Shen Yunyao, and they cooperated very well. It was obviously not the first time that they had done something like this.
Shen Tianshu turned his attention to Mrs. Xu and said with a smile: "I have always liked light colors. I am not as lively as my two sisters. My mother also knows it. And my mother is not a narrow-minded person. How can I be sad because of a piece of clothing? Woolen cloth? "
Mrs. Xu's eyes met with those of Shen Tianshu, and she felt that her calm gaze was full of threats. She looked away uncomfortably and said, "Your eldest sister has a quiet temperament and a gentle person. Wearing such an elegant color, she looks as light as a chrysanthemum." , isn’t it pretty?”
Shen Yunyao didn't expect that her mother would suddenly switch sides and start talking to Shen Tianshu. Her eyes widened a bit and she looked at Mrs. Xu in surprise.
When Shen Zhonglei heard this, he touched his palm and said, "What Madam said is absolutely true. Yaxuan liked simplicity and elegance back then. Shuer must have followed her."
Yaxuan is the maiden name of the original owner’s biological mother.
Shen Tianshu looked at Shen Zhonglei out of the corner of his eye and saw that his expression was not strange. It seemed that it was not intentional, but that he did not realize that there was anything wrong with mentioning his first wife in front of his step-brother.
Mrs. Xu's hand that was placed under the table suddenly clenched tightly, rubbing the brocade handkerchief in her hand into a shape.
Although it has been fifteen years since her first wife passed away and it has been fourteen years since Xu's marriage, whenever she hears Shen Zhonglei mentioning his first wife in this tone, she will still feel overwhelming jealousy in her heart.
Shen Yunyao was about to continue pretending to be good in front of Shen Zhonglei, but Shen Zhonglei turned to Shen Tianshu and asked: "I heard in the Yamen today that you went to the suburban temple to pray for an end to the snow?"
"Compared with my father's hard work for the people, I just go to the temple on the outskirts of Beijing to pray for blessings, which is really nothing."
"All the lords in the yamen have praised you so much that even my father felt so proud. Although it's not a big deal, it's rare that you have such a heart." After Shen Zhonglei praised Shen Tianshu, he turned to the sister. They both said, "Don't just play at home, you two, learn more from your eldest sister. If you are half as good as her, I have nothing to worry about."
Seeing the looks from the two cheap girls opposite him becoming more and more unkind, Shen Tianshu felt funny in his heart, this cheap dad was really interesting.
First, one sentence made Mr. Xu furious, and then he divided the three daughters into two different camps.
It's no wonder that the original owner was such an honest person, but he was always bullied by his stepmother and two younger sisters at home.
