Chapter 172 First Impression
"Um."
Xiao Mo replied, he got out of the car first, then reached out to help his newlywed wife.
At this moment, Shen Xinian, Shen Shaoyu, and Xu Shuheng were standing in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion.
When Chen Xinian saw them, he first looked his daughter over carefully. Seeing that she had a smile on her face and there was nothing wrong, he turned to greet the prince.
However, Shen Shaoyu and Xu Shuheng both went towards Shen Shuyao without exception.
"Taotao!"
"Sister!"
The two spoke almost at the same time. Shen Shaoyu gave his seat to the person next to him, as he was only eleven years old. He smiled as he watched his sister talking to Xu Shuheng.
Xu Shuheng was also very sensible. After calling "sister", he also did not forget to call Xiao Mo "brother-in-law".
The boy was only eleven years old, but he had his back straight, as if he was acting like an adult in front of his brother-in-law.
Xiao Mo walked over and patted him on the back, then asked about his situation in Yiyuan. At the end, he said in a rather rare tone, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me."
Shen Shaoyu was originally a man of temperament and never treated anyone differently just because he was a prince. But today, because of his sister, he was much more friendly to his new brother-in-law.
As they walked in together, they saw Ruan coming out to greet them.
Chen Shuyao called out "mother", and when Ruan saw them, she also looked happy.
A few of them chatted and laughed, and Xiao Mo followed Chen Xinian to Liangyi Hall.
Shen Shaoyu wanted to go back to Mingxiuyuan with his sister, but was glared at by his father. In the end, he chose to accompany his brother-in-law.
As for Xu Shuheng, since he was young, it was natural for him to follow his elder sister to Mingxiuyuan.
Mingxiuyuan is still the same as before, and the two peonies that my father gave me before have shown signs of survival.
Chen Shuyao asked about A'di's recent situation and whether he had any inconvenience after he left. Shu Heng repeated what he had said to the prince before, but in more detail.
What does the Taifu teach on weekdays, what books has he been reviewing recently, and how delicious the vegetables in Yiyuan are.
Chen Shuyao listened carefully, and in the blink of an eye, she saw Ruan standing beside her with cakes in her hands. When she saw her looking over, she quickly took the plate of cakes and walked forward, "I made them freshly, try them while they're hot!"
Chen Shuyao ate a piece under her gaze and praised sincerely, "It's delicious! Thank you for your hard work, mother."
After hearing this, Ruan's face was full of smiles, and she asked Xu Shuheng in front of her to try it as well.
After a while, people from the third and fourth rooms came over. Shen Shuyao had only been in the Shen Mansion for a short time, and her interactions with them were just for the sake of face. They exchanged a few pleasantries, and after she distributed gifts to everyone, they all returned to their own courtyards.
But after they left, Chen Shuyao asked about Ruan's current health condition, which was rare, and then talked about her brother's marriage.
Ruan smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother has already sent a matchmaker to go to the Lu family to propose marriage in two days."
Chen Shuyao smiled truly happily now.
While they were chatting, Xiao Mo came to her yard after a while.
Chen Xinian stood at the gate and said, "You and the prince should go to Yiyuan to see grandfather!"
Chen Shuyao naturally nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked towards Yiyuan together, with the servant behind them carrying a gift for the tutor.
Behind them, Shen Xinian said to his eldest son with emotion, "This is the first time I've seen him so kind and cheerful. He seems like a completely different person."
Shen Shaoyu didn't buy it: "No matter how nice it sounds, it's all empty talk. It all depends on how he treats Tao Tao."
Shen Xinian: "It looks good right now."
Shen Shaoyu: "Time will tell, it's too early to draw conclusions now."
The father and son stood in front of the increasingly lush vegetation in Mingxiu Courtyard, talking to each other.
On the other side, the couple was walking on the road when they heard Xiao Mo ask, "Did you come here often before?"
Chen Shuyao shook her head. How could she come here? She had only been here two or three times so far.
After walking for a while, the prince said seriously, "Taifu, there are outsiders here. It is really inconvenient for a woman like you to come here."
Chen Shuyao was quite surprised to hear this. When she looked over, the man smiled and pointed in front of him: "We're here."
Sure enough, they looked up and saw the plaque on the gate of Yiyuan Garden. An old servant was guarding the door. When he saw the couple, he said apologetically, "The Grand Tutor has gone out to visit friends. He asked this old servant to give this to Second Aunt."
Chen Shuyao reached out to take it, and when she saw what was inside, she smiled slightly.
"What is it?" Xiao Mo next to him also looked over.
When I looked down, I saw two green peonies with roots and soil inside, and I couldn't help laughing.
After handing the gift prepared for Master Shen to the old servant, the couple returned to Mingxiu Courtyard.
Lunch was eaten in the banquet hall of the Shen Mansion. Xiao Mo accompanied Shen Xinian to drink some wine. After the meal, they rested for a while in Shen Shuyao's Mingxiu Courtyard.
Chen Shuyao looked around the yard. After all, this was the place where she had lived for several months, so she had some feelings for it.
When she returned home and sat in the carriage, she felt sleepy. Shen Shuyao yawned several times, then leaned her head against the wall of the carriage and began to sleep.
Xiao Mo reached out and pulled the person over, letting him lean on him, while he picked up a book to read.
But this time it is no longer that damn pornographic booklet.
He read for a while and then put the book down, but he lowered his head to look at the young woman next to him. She was sleeping soundly, sweating profusely, and unconscious.
Xiao Mo suddenly recalled their first meeting in Huzhou four years ago.
She was wearing men's clothes and had thick black eyebrows drawn on. She was teaching her manager the art of business: "If you can make money, why worry about worldly opinions? Just sell whatever is easy to sell."
Xiao Mo had just stepped into the pen and ink shop. He looked up and saw Liuxianglou opposite the shop. The girls were lined up and flirting with passers-by.
He suddenly had some very bad imaginations in his mind, and thought that it was all due to what he saw and heard.
The woman looked very young and naive, but she seemed ready to sell everything for money.
After that, he was chased all the way by the other party.
The young lady changed into women's clothes. Even though her dress was simple, she was still very charming. However, Xiao Mo still remembered the woman in men's clothes in his heart. That was the real her.
Fortunately, they just followed along the way, but did not approach us in an annoying way.
But at the city gate, looking at the crowd leaving in disappointment, he, the leader of the imperial guards, turned back for some unknown reason.
When the young lady looked at him through the rain and fog, he inexplicably felt a rare sense of sympathy, so he used his cousin's identity to help her enter the city gate.
Who would have thought that she was actually my cousin?
Moreover, she is a cousin who is related to the Duke Chengguo's Mansion.
