After spending a long time talking, Gao Shan finally got rid of Boss Qiu's entanglement, turned back to the back house, and told Shen Tianshu everything about what had just happened.
"Is this Boss Qiu too in a hurry?" Shen Tianshu couldn't figure it out, "He has been here several times, right?"
"Isn't that true? Yesterday, you wanted to give me some money!" Seeing Shen Tianshu's interest, Gao Shan told her how Boss Qiu had been pestering her for the past two days and tried every means to see her.
Shen Tianshu listened, then suddenly interrupted and asked: "You just said, where did Boss Qiu come from?"
"I heard he said he came from Yingtian Mansion." Gao Shan recalled, "At that time, he said that he came all the way from Yingtian Mansion, and he had to meet you at all costs."
Although he is confident in his medical skills, Shen Tianshu knows that his reputation today is basically concentrated in Yongzhou Prefecture and its surrounding areas.
How could anyone in Duan Duan Ying Tianfu know about him, and even come all the way to seek cooperation?
No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense.
After experiencing what happened in the southwest corner last time, it was hard for Shen Tianshu not to be a little more vigilant.
"The Luo family shouldn't be coming back soon. I'm going to Wuchang Mansion after the Qingming Festival. You guys will be behind closed doors these days and don't bother with him anymore. Wait until I ask someone to check the Qiu family's background."
Gao Shan bowed to accept the order and drove Shen Tianshu back to Shen Mansion.
Nowadays, every family is busy with ancestor worship during the Qingming Festival, and the Shen family is no exception.
That night, it was neither the New Year nor the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, but Shen Zhonglei suddenly summoned everyone in his family to have dinner together for some unknown reason.
No one knew what happened, and everyone had their own thoughts on the meal.
After eating, everyone rinsed their mouths and hands, and the servants brought tea. Shen Zhonglei then said with a smile: "I want to tell you some good news. Today I received a letter from my mother. The letter said that she will be going to school in a few days. Come and stay in Yongzhou Mansion."
It can be seen that Shen Zhonglei is really happy from the bottom of his heart.
After he settled down in Yongzhou Mansion, he had thought about taking Old Mrs. Shen over.
But Mrs. Shen was worried about her eldest son, who was in poor health. The Shen family had a big business and a lot of things for her to take care of, so she never agreed.
Now that his mother actually asked to come and stay for a while, how could he be unhappy?
Mrs. Xu's heart had already stirred up huge waves, but she was still trying to stay calm on the surface. She forced a smile and said, "We have invited my mother several times before but she refused to come. Why did she suddenly think of coming to Yongzhou Mansion this year?"
"Perhaps my mother thought that I was promising for promotion this time and might leave Yongzhou next year, so I took the opportunity to come over and relax." Shen Zhonglei was in a good mood and did not pay too much attention to Xu's attitude.
Recently, Shen Yuanlin was at home and acted as a bond between the couple, which eased the relationship between Shen Zhonglei and Xu a lot. The two of them also started normal conversations again, but Shen Zhonglei still lived in the study room in the front yard and did not move back to the main house. Come and stay.
Mrs. Xu continued to tentatively inquire about Mrs. Shen's itinerary: "Did mother's letter say when she would leave? Is there anyone to see her off? Should we send someone to greet her then?"
"It's not that detailed. I just said that we will set off around the middle of this month. If there are no delays on the way, we will probably arrive by the end of the month!"
Shen Zhonglei had not seen Mrs. Shen for several years, and he was particularly excited at this time.
Mr. Xu immediately began to plan his shady business. In less than a month, he didn't know if he would have time to clean up the mess.
Shen Yunhui was purely afraid of Old Mrs. Shen and couldn't help but look at Shen Tianshu, only to find that she was also distracted.
But come to think of it, let alone their two granddaughters, there are hundreds of people in the Shen family, who is not afraid of Old Mrs. Shen?
Even Shen Zhonglei, who was already the prefect, obeyed Mrs. Shen's words and did not dare to be disobedient in the slightest.
Mrs. Shen's trip to Yongzhou has long been in Shen Tianshu's plan, but what worries her is that there is still no news about the person she is looking for...
"Dad, when grandma comes over this time, she should be able to stay a little longer, right?"
It would be best to stay there until she finds someone.
"I don't know about that." Shen Zhonglei said with a smile, "I want her to stay as long as she can. It's best to stay until I get promoted, and then let her follow us to our new home! I'm afraid she won't be relieved. Not to mention my elder brother’s health and the chores at home.”
Have you been living with Mrs. Shen?
Mrs. Xu imagined that scene for a moment, and her whole body felt bad.
She forced out a smile and said: "Of course it would be best if we could live longer, but moving is the most tiring thing. My mother is also an old person. When the time comes, we will have to travel and travel with us and worry a lot. What if I get exhausted?" It’s not good.”
When Shen Zhonglei heard this, he suddenly thought of Zhao Qu's visit to Beijing to report on his work. On the way, his mother suddenly fell seriously ill and almost died in a foreign country. He felt that it was reasonable and immediately nodded along with him: "Madam, what you said makes sense, we should wait until we settle down." , it would be best to pick mother over at a time when the weather is nice."
"Hurry up and ask someone to tidy up the Dongkua Courtyard. Wherever you need to change what needs to be tidied up, get ready as soon as possible. If you need to make new ones, make new ones." Shen Zhonglei ordered Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu agreed and winked at her son.
Shen Yuanlin immediately asked: "Dad, when will grandma arrive in Yongzhou? Can I ask for leave from my husband and come back to see grandma? I haven't seen grandma in several years."
"Don't say it so nicely. To be honest, it's just you who wants to be lazy." Shen Zhonglei stretched out his hand and pinched his son's nose.
Shen Yuanlin stuck out his tongue and said: "Then I won't ask for leave. Dad, please let grandma stay for a while longer and come back to see her when I am on vacation."
"That's pretty much it. When you were a child, your grandmother loved you the most. She will be even happier to see you eager to learn and make progress this time." Shen Zhonglei patted his son's head with approval.
"Dad, if grandma really loves me, can I make a small request?" Shen Yuanlin raised his right hand and asked with his thumb and index finger making a very short distance.
"The old lady hasn't come yet, so you have to make a request?" Shen Zhonglei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but still said, "Tell me, let me hear it first, how small a request it is."
"Dad, I miss my second sister!" Shen Yuanlin leaned towards Shen Zhonglei and said coquettishly, "It just so happens that my grandmother is coming to Yongzhou. Can dad write a letter to my grandmother and ask her to bring my second sister back?"
Shen Zhonglei's first reaction was that this was a good idea, and he was about to agree. Then he remembered why Shen Yunhui was sent back to his hometown in the first place, so he subconsciously looked up at Shen Tianshu.
Shen Yuanlin was not very smart in his studies, but his eyesight on this kind of thing was amazing. He didn't need Xu to give him a hint, and immediately said to Shen Tianshu: "Eldest sister, don't be angry with the second sister. , she must have learned a lesson this time, just let the second sister come back."
After he finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes hard and said pitifully with red eyes: "Not only do I miss my second sister, but even though my mother doesn't say it, she actually misses my second sister very much. She sometimes secretly cries at night."
Mrs. Xu on the side lowered her head silently, looking like I was very sad but I wouldn’t say it.
Being manipulated like this by their mother-in-law, it seemed that Shen Tianshu was the culprit who broke up their family.
