Chapter 147 Searching for Green Peony
"Then where is she?" Xiao Mo was originally leaning on the armchair, but now he sat up straight.
Wuying just revealed everything: "My cousin has recognized her parents and is currently living in the second branch of the Shen family..."
He started from the day when Xu Shuyao went to the Shen family to celebrate birthday, and told her how she met the second master of the Shen family and how they recognized each other as relatives.
"That's what happened. After that, my cousin was left at the Shen family."
After Wuying finished speaking, he was a little afraid to look into his master's eyes.
Xiao Mo sat there stiffly. He seemed a little confused and annoyed, and then his brows furrowed deeply.
After a long while, Wuying finally heard the prince say in a low voice: "Go down!"
"Oh... okay..." The person in front of him quickly retreated.
Xiao Mo closed his eyes, the guard's words echoing in his mind, thinking of the night when Shen Shaoyu told him about watching the lanterns.
"I see..." he muttered.
Wuming at the door looked at his master carefully and saw that his right hand was unconsciously tapping the table beside him, while his left hand was supporting his forehead.
Why does the expression on his face look like he is a little aggrieved?
As soon as he opened his mouth, he met the prince's sharp eyes and quickly looked away.
"go out!"
The young guard was startled and looked at where he was standing. It seemed that he was not inside, but he still obediently moved out.
When Xiao Mo was free, Wang Shi also had the opportunity to talk to him about this matter, "Who would have thought that she was actually the daughter of the Shen family? This is really fate."
I looked up and saw that my son was silent, and I was a little unsure of what he was thinking.
At that time, he wanted to marry the young lady even though she had no father or mother. There shouldn't be any obstacles now, right?
But the eldest son did not seem happy.
Wang simply stopped talking. It was useless for her to say anything anyway.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he indeed issued an edict of amnesty one month after his grandfather passed away.
Although Zhu Hongyuan is only thirteen years old, he has Prime Minister Zhang watching over him at the court and the Xiao family at the border.
With the passing of Prince Liang and Prince Chun, their previous forces also collapsed.
As for the former second prince Zhu Ruijing, some people say that he is the offspring of the late King Liang. Otherwise, how to explain his, Queen Feng, and the Feng family's current fate.
It’s just that the emperor has been cuckolded for nearly twenty years, which is a little hard to believe.
So this rumor spread for a while and then disappeared.
What people are most concerned about right now is who will become Zhu Hongyuan's queen.
In addition, with the issuance of the decree of amnesty, families with children of marriageable age seemed to have come alive and held banquets one after another in their mansions.
The second branch of the Shen family, Zhilanju, where Shen Jingshu originally lived, has been converted into a greenhouse.
In September, the potted plants are mainly chrysanthemums and jasmine. There were originally silver osmanthus and crape myrtle in the yard.
There is no sign of silver osmanthus blooming yet, but crape myrtle is in full bloom.
After Chen Shuyao showed her mother around, Ruan said with some regret, "There are still a few varieties of flowers this season. We're just using this banquet to let everyone get to know you, so we don't care about these things."
Chen Shuyao then remembered that she had promised Ruan to host a chrysanthemum viewing banquet.
Let everyone know yourself?
That's not a bad idea.
She thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but my brother is not young anymore. Has mother thought about his marriage?"
Ruan was stunned when she heard this.
Getting married?
It's not that she hadn't thought about this, but her eldest son's original body...
But it seems to be much better now.
Ruan's heart was moved for a moment, so she smiled and said, "That's feasible."
Then he added, "Taotao, remember to make more friends with these young ladies in the capital, and take a look at their character and help your brother make some suggestions."
Chen Shuyao actually laughed at this moment: "Well, then I'll listen to mother. I'll talk to my brother later and ask him to take me to find some precious chrysanthemums."
When Shen Shaoyu came to Mingxiuyuan in the evening, Shen Shuyao said, "Mother is planning to hold a chrysanthemum viewing banquet on the next day off. Brother must show up!"
She had a smile on her face, and Shen Shaoyu had heard about it early in the morning.
My mother held the party to introduce my sister to everyone and to see if there was anyone suitable.
Taotao is already seventeen years old, and it would be detrimental to her marriage if she delays any further.
But thinking that she had just returned, Shen Shaoyu felt a little regretful. The time they had spent together as siblings was too short.
Shen Shaoyu doesn't like to attend banquets, but this is the first time Tao Tao has appeared in public since returning to the Shen family, so as an older brother, he naturally has to help support the occasion.
So he said readily, "No problem."
I looked up and saw my sister smiling with her eyes curved, looking like a little fox, which I thought was cute.
"Has mother made you a new dress? Has she prepared any jewelry?"
Chen Shuyao nodded, thinking to herself, not only do I have it, you have it too!
Suddenly remembering Ruan's instructions, he asked again, "Brother, do you know who has a rare variety of chrysanthemum? We can't have a banquet with only common goods."
Shen Shaoyu frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Go to Yiyuan and ask your grandfather for it."
Chen Shuyao: “…”
That grandfather who loves growing vegetables actually also grows precious chrysanthemums?
But her brother wouldn't lie to her, so she said obediently, "Okay!"
The next day, Chen Shuyao went to Master Shen's Yiyuan Garden. The old man was talking to someone in the house.
After greeting the old servant of Yiyuan, she wandered around the garden, but apart from seeing the vegetable patch behind the house, she did not find any trace of chrysanthemums, and felt a little depressed for a moment.
"What are you looking for?" A voice suddenly came from the front.
Chen Shuyao raised her head and saw a young man standing there.
Thinking it was the two disciples in Grandfather's room, he walked closer and lowered his voice, "Do you know where Grandfather keeps the flowers he planted?"
The man suddenly laughed and pointed at her: "Here!"
He was referring to the vegetable patch. Shen Shuyao was a little confused, but seeing the other party's confident look, she still walked over half-believingly.
She looked carefully at each row and suddenly found that there were several green peonies in it.
That is a famous chrysanthemum.
This...this is such a waste!
My brother really didn't lie to her! And...
Hey! Where is that young man?
Chen Shuyao raised her head and found that the person who showed her the way had disappeared, but her grandfather was staring at her fiercely not far away.
"Ahem... ahem... Grandpa, these vegetables are growing so well!"
Master Shen glanced at her, snorted, and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Eat vegetables! I want to eat vegetables!" Chen Shuyao nodded at the old man in front of him and said seriously.
"Then... let's water it!" He pointed to the bucket beside him.
There was no other way, Shen Shuyao could only pick up the bucket to water the plants.
As she worked, she listened to the old man scolding her: "You little girls are lazy and don't know how to distinguish grains. You should do more work. Not only you, but your brother is the same too."
Then he said, "Did he tell you that?"
Chen Shuyao thought of the young man just now and did not give him up.
After watering the entire row of vegetables, the old man smiled and said to her, "Go pick the vegetables!"
Just... pulling out the vegetables.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Master Shen pointed at the green peonies and muttered, "Silly girl..."
