Seeing that Shao Ya ignored her, Shao Ying shamelessly moved forward.
"Second sister, are you still angry with me? I was wrong. You know I'm stupid and I often can't think straight."
Shao Ya sneered, "So you've turned around now?"
"Uh-huh!"
Shao Ying nodded quickly, "I understand, Second Sister. You did it for my own good. I was stupid and got mad at you. Please forgive me this time, okay?"
What made Shao Ya feel uncomfortable was not Shao Ying but Shao Mo.
Shao Lin had to choose an heir from within the family, and Shao Mo was Shao Lin's only daughter. Even for the sake of her younger brother's future, she would have to curry favor with Shao Mo in the future.
How could she not feel depressed and angry when she had to curry favor with someone who had taken her place?
There were hundreds of tablets enshrined in the Shao family's ancestral hall. It took an hour just to listen to the clan elders' introduction to the ancestors of all generations. Including the worship, it took almost two hours in total.
The moment she walked out of the ancestral hall, Yun Mo's legs felt weak and she wished she could go back and lie down on her soft and comfortable big bed.
"Momo, are you exhausted?"
After seeing off several elders, Shao Lin asked with concern.
Yun Mo nodded unceremoniously, "Yeah, I am very tired. Dad, grandma, you have worked hard too. Let's go back and rest."
"Okay, let's go."
It was past lunchtime, and Mrs. Shao asked the father and daughter to go to Lanju for lunch, but Yun Mo directly declined.
"Grandma, I'll go over to accompany you in the evening. Lingchuan is still waiting for me in Moyuan. Let Dad accompany you for lunch."
Mrs. Shao did not force her. She gave her a few words of advice and let her go.
Before Yun Mo arrived at Mo Garden, she saw Ling Chuan standing at the gate of Mo Garden from afar, and immediately waved with joy as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
"Lingchuan!"
Ling Chuan also saw her and strode towards her with an umbrella.
Yun Mo opened her arms before the man came close, "Hurry up and carry me in, my legs hurt so much."
Ling Chuan stuffed the umbrella into her hands without saying a word, bent down, put his arms around her thighs, and picked her up like a child.
As soon as her feet left the ground, Yun Mo felt comfortable all over.
She put her arms around the man's neck and complained quietly, "I should have worn cloth shoes earlier. My feet are so sore after standing in high heels all morning."
Ling Chuan coaxed in a low voice: "Wife, bear with it, I will rub you with medicinal wine when we get back."
"My calves hurt too, and my muscles are almost cramping."
"Okay, rub your legs too."
Yun Mo was satisfied, and gently leaned her head on the man's shoulder, her voice soft, "Ling Chuan, have you eaten?"
"Not yet. I'll wait for you to come back and eat together."
"What's for lunch?"
"There are tomato meatball soup, braised spareribs, three fresh vegetables, and salt and pepper shrimp."
Yun Mo was already hungry, and she almost drooled when she heard the names of these dishes.
"That's great! They're all my favorites!"
"I wrote a menu for the cooks. It contains all your favorite dishes. They will look after the daily arrangements."
"I thought so."
The servants behind them looked at the couple being so affectionate as if no one was around, laughing secretly and feeling envious.
After dinner, Ling Chuan filled some hot water for Yun Mo to soak her feet, and then used medicinal wine to massage her feet and legs.
After pressing her many times, Ling Chuan had already mastered the amount of strength she could bear, and Yun Mo had long been accustomed to the man's strength and techniques. She didn't feel any pain at all and even fell asleep without realizing it.
Yun Mo tilted her head to look at the clock. It was already half past four.
She got up early in the morning and was tired after a whole morning. She soaked her feet and had a massage, so she had an especially comfortable nap. After getting up, she felt indescribably refreshed.
Yun Mo changed into comfortable and breathable home clothes, walked through the cloakroom and went to the study, wanting to check on Ling Chuan's self-study progress. But when she arrived at the study, she found that Ling Chuan was not there, but there were elementary school Chinese textbooks and exercise books on the desk.
Yun Mo picked up the exercise book and started flipping through it.
I have done one third of the questions in the exercise book, with a correct rate of about 50%.
Yun Mo found a red pen and sat down at the desk to correct and mark the wrong questions in the exercise book one by one.
I was halfway through correcting the wrong questions when Ling Chuan came back from outside.
"Wife, are you awake?"
"Well, where have you been?"
Yun Mo originally thought that Ling Chuan just went out to drink water or relax, but seeing that he was sweating profusely, it was obvious that he had gone out.
Ling Chuan put the two handbags in his hands on the desk, "I went out and bought you two pairs of shoes. Take a look and see if you like them. If you don't like them, you can exchange them. I've issued an invoice."
Yun Mo took out the shoe box from her handbag with some curiosity, opened it, and found two pairs of shiny little sandals, one pair with small wedge heels and the other pair with flat soles.
"I asked the salesperson, and they said both types of heels are very comfortable to wear. They also recommended the style, saying it is a new model this year."
"I'll try."
Yun Mo carried two pairs of shoes to the cloakroom, put them on, looked at herself from left to right in front of the dressing mirror, and walked back and forth twice. Unexpectedly, she felt pretty good.
"It's OK. How much did you buy it for?"
Seeing that she was satisfied with the shoes, Ling Chuan couldn't help but smile.
"The one with pearls is 200, the one with sequins is 180, the two pairs together are 330 after discount. The salesperson said it's a very famous foreign brand."
Yunmo took off her shoes and looked at the logo, and found that it was the Pierre Cardin brand.
Three hundred and thirty is really not cheap, it is the annual income of an ordinary person.
However, the small accessories business is pretty good this year. For Lingchuan, more than 300 yuan is less than a month's profit, which is still affordable.
It just so happens that she is going to attend a flower-viewing party tomorrow, and Shao Ya's birthday party is in two days, so these two pairs of shoes are just right for her.
By the time I finished explaining all the wrong questions in the exercise book, the sun had already set, and the sky was filled with red clouds, like burning flames, magnificent and romantic.
Yun Mo took out her camera and took some beautiful pictures of the sunset in the sky. She planned to make them into postcards when she had free time and send them to Xie Xia who was far away in a foreign country.
After taking the photos, Yun Mo and Ling Chuan walked in the afterglow to Lan Ju to have dinner with Mrs. Shao.
There was a roast duck for dinner. Yun Mo wrapped a piece of it in a lotus leaf pancake and ate it. It tasted pretty good.
"Grandma, is this roast duck made by your kitchen staff?"
Mrs. Shao looked at her with a smile, "Why do you ask?"
"Generally, people choose stuffed duck for roast duck, which is rich in fat, tender and has a good color. But the roast duck here is leaner, probably raised by the duck itself. The flavor is more prominent, but the sweetness is lower. However, it does not affect its taste, and it tastes very special."
"Oh, Miss has a really clever tongue. What she said was exactly right." Sister Hua couldn't help but admire.
Mrs. Shao smiled and continued, "Ah-Lin likes dishes with a strong sauce flavor, and I don't like sweet food, so Sister Hua improved it according to our tastes and made this special roast duck."
"So it's Sister Hua's cooking. Sister Hua, is there any extra roast duck meat left in the kitchen?"
"Yes, I like roast duck, too. But he has an appointment tonight and won't be home for dinner, so I specially saved half of it and plan to send it to him as a midnight snack later."
"oh."
Yun Mo originally wanted to pack it up and send it to Zeng Fang to try, but when she heard that the remaining half was left for Shao Lin, she gave up the idea and nodded.
