However, Shen Yunyao's goal was not Chunlan. She raised her voice slightly and accused Shen Tianshu: "Sister, this is my grandmother's yard after all. Don't you think of yourself as an outsider? You dare to call your grandmother's maid. "
Just when Shen Tianshu was about to speak, Chunlan said with a smile on her face: "Look at what the second girl said, slaves are slaves, and the girls are all masters, they can't be controlled no matter what.
"Besides, even if the old lady is here, she can't watch the third girl go hungry!
"As the eldest girl said, the third girl is young and still growing. If she gets hungry, the old lady will feel bad for her!"
Shen Yunyao was originally concentrating on guarding against Shen Tianshu, but she was dismissed by Chunlan with just a few words.
But Chunlan dared to speak like this, but she didn't dare to teach Chunlan a lesson in the old lady's room. She could only swallow her anger by herself, with a look of constipation on her face.
Everyone sat in silence for a while, and Mrs. Shen finally finished dressing and came out of the east compartment.
"I've kept everyone waiting for a long time today." Mrs. Shen said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Xu quickly said with concern: "I heard from Chunlan that the old lady didn't sleep well last night? Is it because the weather was too hot? Why don't you ask someone to set up more ice basins? Don't put them too close, lest the old lady My body can't stand the cold, so I put it in the middle of the room, and the room will be cooler after all."
Although Mrs. Shen didn't sleep well last night, it was not because of this matter, but Mrs. Xu was so concerned that she couldn't help but give her face. She nodded and said, "You are still thoughtful."
"Although I am busy with official duties now, I still come to ask the old lady how she is eating and sleeping every day!" Mrs. Xu said with a smile on her face, "As long as you live comfortably here and stay healthy, you are our blessing. .”
"I know you are filial." Mrs. Shen said and gave an order, "Okay, let's ask someone to prepare breakfast quickly, because I have been delayed for almost an hour, and the children must be hungry."
There was actually only a curtain between the east compartment and the outside. Shen Yunyao knew that Mrs. Shen must have heard the argument outside, but seeing that she didn't mention it at this time, she must not want to pay attention to such trivial matters, so she didn't dare to mention it again.
After breakfast, everyone was preparing to say goodbye and go out so that the old lady could have time to rest. The woman at the second door came over to deliver a message: "Old lady, the Guo family sent someone to see the old lady, holding a greeting card. , and also brought gifts.”
"The Guo family?" Old Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, "But the Guo family that people outside call Guo Bancheng?"
"Exactly." The mother-in-law handed the greeting card and gift slip to the maid outside the door.
The maid came in and handed the things to Chunlan. After Chunlan opened them, she held them in front of Mrs. Shen for her to take a closer look.
Old Mrs. Shen narrowed her eyes slightly and did not read the greeting card. She only glanced at the gift list and already had several words in her mind: "Please come in and talk."
Not long after, Guo Xintong's mother, Mrs. Yang, followed the maid in.
"Mr. Yang of Guomen, a civilian woman, has met Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen, and several girls."
Mrs. Yang saluted and said hello to everyone in the room, stood up straight, and smiled at Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu also nodded slightly to her.
Old Mrs. Shen had a panoramic view of this scene, her mind was spinning, and she had a smile on her face and said: "Mrs. Guo is too polite, she came as soon as she came, why did she bring so many things."
Mrs. Yang hurriedly said: "Mrs. Shen, these things were all prepared by my old lady with her blessing.
"My old lady said that Mrs. Shen originally came all the way from her hometown, so she should have come to visit early.
"It's a pity that her health was not good enough. She didn't get better from the illness for more than two months, and she couldn't get over it despite dragging it on.
"Thankfully, Mrs. Tong came back from a medical visit out of town a few days ago. Three doses of medicine made our old lady feel better. Now we only need to keep her for more than a month.
"I didn't expect that after the eldest lady came back from the palace, she came to see our old lady. She also gave our old lady a volume of handwritten scriptures and wished our old lady a speedy recovery.
"Our old lady couldn't lie down anymore, so she had to have someone prepare gifts and come to visit her to say thank you.
"We didn't dare to stop her, so we had to persuade her to tell her that her illness was not cured, and that she would give it to you when she was over. Then we finally persuaded her to stop her, and she was replaced by a civilian woman."
"Fortunately, your old lady is still thinking about me when she is sick. You go back and tell her to let her recover. When she recovers, I will ask her to come over and talk."
"Thank you, Mrs. Shen."
Yang's words just now were clear and clear. They not only explained Mrs. Guo's failure to come to visit immediately, but also named why she rushed to send gifts when Mrs. Guo didn't take it seriously.
Mrs. Shen naturally understood.
Mrs. Guo had been ill for more than a month, and Mrs. Xu didn't even know about it, let alone send someone to visit her.
It was after Shen Tianshu came back from Wuchang Mansion that he got the news and went to visit him.
What Yang said now about visiting her or thanking Shen Tianshu was all false.
Because the Guo family received concern from the Shen Mansion, which was equivalent to clarifying Shen Zhonglei's attitude, they hurriedly prepared gifts to visit.
When Mrs. Shen thought of this, she wanted to glare at Mrs. Xu again, but in the end she held back in front of Mrs. Yang.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She came from a small family, but she was still useless after all. Now she was just a prefect's wife and she was already so careless about her head and tail. If Shen Zhonglei continued to be promoted in the future, there was no guarantee that he would not become a colleague because of Xu.
The laughing stock.
Old Mrs. Shen became extremely worried when she thought of this. Now that she has already married someone, she cannot divorce him for no reason and go home.
If you are interested, find another girl. A girl with a little bit of family background, even if she is from a concubine, is impossible to send to Shen Zhonglei to be a concubine, especially if the first lady is from the Xu family...
Alas, the more I think about it, the more upset I become.
Old Mrs. Shen was thinking about something and didn't say anything for a while, leaving Yang in the middle.
Ever since Mr. Yang entered the house, Shen Yunyao felt like she had spikes on her butt and she could not sit still while moving left and right.
Seeing that Mrs. Shen was silent at this time, she finally couldn't help but said: "Mrs. Yang, when will my eldest sister see Mrs. Guo? Oh, she didn't say anything at home, otherwise I would go with her.
"
"Miss Shen came here with Xintong a few days ago, and yesterday she came to give my old lady a scroll of scriptures that she had copied by herself. She said that she should put it next to the pillow and ask the Buddha to bless my old lady to recover quickly.
.
"You don't know how happy my old lady is. She said that none of the dozen or so grandchildren in the family can be as careful as Miss Shen."
When Shen Yunyao heard this, her eyes widened with shock. She jumped up from her chair and said loudly: "You are talking nonsense. She didn't go to Guo's house at all yesterday!"
