Chapter 150
As the year draws to a close, every household is preparing for the New Year. Zhou Yun and Wen Ji are too busy to handle everything, so Wen Shu simply closes her shop in the afternoon and helps them prepare.
The gift boxes, sealed with small red slips of paper, were neatly arranged; they were specially prepared for the visit to the Lu residence.
Hanxiang wiped the tables and chairs, wearing a thick oleander-colored coat, and smiled so wide her eyes disappeared. "Miss, Madam is very happy to hear that she is going to the Lu residence soon."
"I've been in Shanzhou for so long and haven't been able to see my maternal grandmother yet. I'm about to see her, so of course I'm happy," the woman said with a gentle smile, sitting at the long table by the door, carefully sorting through the medicinal herbs.
Although Hanxiang grew up with Wenshu, she was not a member of the Lu family. She was only found and bought by Zhou Yun after she married into the Wen family. Therefore, the people in the Lu family did not know about her.
"I've heard the girl talk about her childhood in Shanzhou before, and now I can finally see what it's like."
The girl's voice was lively, with a hint of longing.
“When I was little…” Wen Shu narrowed her eyes, seemingly recalling some amusing incident, and laughed, “I climbed a tree to steal a bird’s nest, but I fell halfway down. My cousin Lu caught me, but I injured his arm, and my maternal grandfather gave me a good scolding.”
Hanxiang opened her eyes wide. She had never seen anything like it before. She had been by her young mistress's side for so long and only knew that she was a kind-hearted lady. She never expected that her young mistress would be so lively and mischievous when she was young!
"And then what happened?"
Wen Shu shook her head with a smile, "Later? My maternal grandfather punished me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall all night. I was young then, and after kneeling all night, my knees were bruised. My grandfather was so distressed that he personally applied medicine to them..."
Speaking of the past, Wen Shu seemed to have opened a floodgate, and told everything in one go, "My maternal grandmother put her hands on her hips, pointed her finger at my maternal grandfather's nose and scolded him, saying that if she cared about him so much, why did she make little Shu kneel in the ancestral hall?"
The woman smiled and looked at Hanxiang, "Do you know what your grandfather said?"
The woman's sudden smile almost stunned Hanxiang. She was truly a fairy descended from heaven. Even though she had been by Wenshu's side for so many years, she couldn't help but stare at the woman's charming smile.
"What...what did you say?"
Wen Shu pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "Grandfather said that if he were to punish her severely, little Shu'er wouldn't suffer any more serious punishment..."
The past seemed vivid in her mind. Wen Shu sniffed hard and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things anymore."
Her maternal grandfather felt sorry for her. She was playing and ran up a tree, which injured Xiao Lujiang's arm. The white ribbon hung from his arm for three whole months.
Lu Jiang was the only son of his uncle and aunt, so they naturally doted on him. His aunt had a fiery temper and a strong personality. If it weren't for her maternal grandfather's words that made her kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, Wen Shu thought that she might have had a layer of skin peeled off by her aunt to apologize to Lu Jiang!
Originally, my uncle and mother were not close.
My mother was brought into the family by my maternal grandmother when she remarried, so she took her mother's surname. My maternal grandfather never treated her badly because she was not his biological daughter, and treated her the same as his own children.
But not everyone is kind-hearted. Just because my maternal grandfather was impartial doesn't mean that others wouldn't look at my mother and her two siblings with strange eyes.
Her childhood memories were both pleasant and bittersweet. Wen Shu savored the bittersweet emotions in her heart as she carefully and attentively sorted the medicinal herbs.
Unbeknownst to the master and servant, a young man dressed in indigo blue stood outside the door with his legs crossed and a faint smile playing on his lips.
It's surprising that Ah Shu was so mischievous when she was little.
