Chapter 5 The Cripple
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Besides, when I look at Madam's appearance, she is a kind and amiable mother-in-law. I will definitely get along very well with her when I marry her. We can also go shopping together often."
shop?
When Mrs. Jiang heard this word, the scene of her pulling a lame man out of the house emerged in her mind, with people around her pointing fingers at her and talking about her. How could she hold her head up among the other ladies in the future?
No, no, this marriage must not take place.
Madam Jiang raised her hand and stroked her forehead, frowning and saying, "It's windy outside today. I'm afraid it's the wind that's causing my head to suddenly hurt."
The maid behind him understood and was about to step forward.
"I'll do it," Chen Yu lifted her sleeves, "Madam, don't look at my lame legs, but I'm very good at massage. I cured Ben Xiao's headache."
"Who is Ben Xiao?" Mrs. Jiang asked casually.
Chen Zhao put his fist under his nose and coughed twice, then tried to suppress his smile and continued, "Ben Xiao is my sister's favorite horse."
Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows twitched. She was almost angry to death that someone was comparing her with a horse.
Shen Zhongan watched for a while, fearing that Shen Yu would continue to make trouble, so he asked tentatively: "Then is this marriage going to be settled?"
"No hurry, no hurry," Mrs. Jiang said quickly. One of her arms was being pulled by Chen Yu and she couldn't move it away. It hurt so much.
"I haven't mentioned this matter to my master yet. I just came here to let him know today. I still have to discuss it with him later."
Mrs. Jiang found a lot of excuses and used all her special skill of talking nonsense. She talked until her mouth was dry. After finally seeing Shen Zhongan nod, she quickly took her maid and left.
"Ma'am, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I haven't shown my talent yet. I'm pretty good at carrying a big vat."
Mrs. Jiang walked hurriedly and said, "No need, please stay."
When he looked back, he saw Chen Yu limping and chasing after him. He didn't know how she could run so fast while limping.
Mrs. Jiang was afraid that she would be caught by her, so she walked faster and faster, not caring about her manners. When she passed a threshold, she tripped and fell to the ground. The maid next to her
Yiyou helped her up and almost carried Mrs. Jiang away as if she was escaping.
After finally getting out of the general's mansion, Mrs. Jiang felt like she was half dead.
As she watched the person walk away, Chen Yu gradually stopped smiling.
In my previous life, my father and brother went to the border on the tenth day of September, which only leaves a few days. In this life, I must stop them no matter what and never let them go to the border again.
It's these few days, we have to think of a solution.
Shen Yu was thinking as she walked back. Just as she reached the door, she saw Shen Zhongan slam the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped.
"This is just nonsense!"
If it was in her previous life, Shen Yu would have been terrified by such a scene, but after living a new life, she missed her furious father very much.
Shen Zhongan pointed at her and cursed, "Do you know that if she spreads the news of her lameness, no one will dare to propose marriage to her in the future? I think you should never get married and just be an old lady."
"It's best not to get married." Chen Yu said softly, "I just want to be an old girl by my father's side."
People who practice martial arts have good hearing, and this sentence did not escape Shen Zhongan's ears.
Shen Zhongan didn't know where to start scolding her after hearing this. He looked around and picked up something and pretended to hit her.
Shen Yu quickly hid behind Shen Zhao, poked her head out and said, "Brother, Dad wants to beat me."
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "I advise you to admit your mistake quickly."
"Dad, I was wrong."
Shen Zhongan was suddenly hugged by someone, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat.
Chen Yu hugged Shen Zhongan and felt that it was great to still hear her father scolding her and to still see her brother.
Since Shen Yu was twelve years old, she had not been close to him. Now that she suddenly acted like this, Shen Zhongan felt his heart soften. He sighed deeply and said:
"You can't do this again."
Shen Yu nodded vigorously, raised her eyelids and saw her brother Shen Zhao next to her, let go of her father and went forward to hug her brother's arm.
Shen Zhao lowered his eyebrows and touched her head, jokingly saying, "Where did you learn this trick? It makes you invincible."
Shen Yutai
He blinked and said, "I learned it by myself."
The main hall and the side hall are separated by black lacquered sunflower-patterned partitions, and there is a bead curtain on the porch.
Madam Shen looked at everything in the hall from beginning to end, and left with a stern face. When she reached the corridor, she said, "You see, we are outsiders, mother and daughter. They are a proper family of three."
Shen Zhongan's original wife was the legitimate daughter of Lu, a merchant family in Hezhou. Although she was called a merchant, she was not comparable to ordinary merchants. Lu's merchants were spread all over Da Zhou.
She is Shen Zhongan's second wife. Shen Zhongan's original wife died early. In order to win him over, Marquis Cheng'an married Shen Zhongan to a distant cousin of his wife, who is now Madam Shen.
Although Shen Zhongan treated her with respect, how could a couple who got married later in life have the love and support that they had received all along? They could only make do with what they had.
We haven't seen each other for a year or two, but as the general's wife, she can't help but feel resentful.
Shen Yan lowered her head and followed behind her without saying a word.
Madam Shen looked back and said indifferently, "You should at least show your face in front of your father, otherwise Shen Zhongan might have forgotten that there is a daughter in this family."
Shen Yan bit her lower lip and said, "Father hasn't forgotten. He talked to me a lot yesterday."
Madam Shen sneered, "Didn't you see how Shen Yu behaved in front of your father? You were so timid in front of your father. How can you compete with Shen Yu like this?"
Mrs. Shen's words upset Shen Yan, and she rarely spoke out to refute, "I don't argue with my sister. My sister treats me well and always keeps good things close to me."
"Next to you?" Madam Shen waved her hand to let the servants back off. "Of course she'll give you what she doesn't want. When Hezhou sends something over, she'll always pick it first. She'll give it to you after she's picked out the rest?"
"That's my sister's grandmother, not mine. I didn't have any share in the things that were sent to me."
Madam Shen was furious. If she hadn't been maintaining her status as the general's wife, she would have pointed at Shen Yan's nose and scolded her. Seeing that there were still many servants in the yard, she had no choice but to leave with a flick of her sleeves.
"Miss, shall we go back?" asked the maid.
Shen Yan stood there for a moment, looking towards the main hall, with a little sadness in her eyes, "Let's go back."
