Chapter 136
After all, it was the old lady who sent someone to invite her. Wang Qingrui didn't dare to blatantly stop her, so she had no choice but to let "Shen Zhifeng" go to Yansong Hall again.
When he arrived, the old lady and Shen Sisi were chatting together.
"Grandma, I still remember that time when my mother asked me to learn the piano. I was lazy and didn't want to, so I hid in the rockery in the garden and fell asleep. The servants in the Duke's palace were so anxious that I was looking for her everywhere."
The old lady couldn't help laughing: "That's right, you little skinny monkey, even I was frightened at that time. I couldn't even eat that day, so I followed the servants to find you."
Shen Shensi said shyly: "It was my father who found me in the end. Father, do you remember?"
The old lady joked: "You should really thank your father for this. If he hadn't found you, you would have fallen ill if you slept in such a damp and cold place."
The grandfather and grandson talked happily, and both looked at Shen Zhifeng, who smiled awkwardly: "I can't remember things that happened for so long. Since I was sick before, I feel that many things are blurry. "
He said this, and even if he was asked something else, he would always have an excuse if he said something wrong.
Shen Shensi looked worried and regretful: "Really? It's a pity that my father doesn't remember."
The old lady touched Shen Si's head: "That's okay. After all, you are his daughter. It's a rare time to come back. Go and pour your father a cup of tea."
Shen Shensi nodded, picked up the teacup and walked towards Shen Zhifeng. He accidentally lost his footing and the whole teacup was spilled.
Although Shen Zhifeng dodged in time, a large piece of his left sleeve was still wet, with some wrinkled tea leaves stained on it.
The nanny behind the old lady reacted quickly and hurriedly got the handkerchief.
Shen Shensi looked worried and regretful: "Father, it's my fault that I was so careless and didn't get burned, right?" As she said that, she took the initiative to pick up the cloth handkerchief and wiped it with Shen Zhifeng.
"Sisi, you are serious, how can you throw a cup of tea?" The old lady blamed Shen Sisi and took Shen Zhifeng's left hand: "Let me see what to do if you get burned."
While talking, he took Shen Zhifeng's left hand and looked at it.
There was a small black birthmark on the back of his hand, the same size and position. When the old lady saw it, she was shocked. Could it be that she had thought too much? Could this be Shen Zhifeng himself?
"Nothing, luckily the tea is not hot, then I'll go change clothes." Shen Zhifeng said and was about to leave.
Shen Shensi gritted his teeth and said, "Father, it's rare for me to come back. Please stay with me and talk more."
Shen Zhifeng turned around and saw Shen Shensi, who was filled with tears and looking at him with hope. He could only comfort him: "You are already married, why do you have such a childish attitude?"
"Father, I will always be a child in front of you." Shen Sisi said sheepishly.
The old lady laughed loudly: "That's all, son, it's rare for you to come over here. Come and sit down for a while. I'll ask someone to make you a pot of your favorite Longjing."
Fortunately, there were not many areas where his sleeves got wet, so Shen Zhifeng had no choice but to sit down again.
The old lady looked carefully in front of Shen Zhifeng, looking left and right. Yes, this was indeed his son. She secretly sighed in her heart that she was really a little confused, and her concern and smile towards him became real.
Shen Zhifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The eldest lady had to be careful and even took care of such details. She painted a birthmark on his hand with special paint, which would not fall off if it was stained with water.
Everyone relaxed and the conversation became much more enjoyable.
"Now that even Sisi is married, it won't be long before I go to accompany the old man." But as the old lady spoke, she couldn't help but feel sad again.
Shen Shensi hurriedly shook the old lady's arm: "How could it be possible? If grandma wants to live a long life, my father and I will have to be filial to you in the future."
"Yes." Shen Zhifeng agreed.
The old lady laughed when Shen Sisi said: "You two are the only ones in this house who are looking forward to me."
As she said this, she seemed to have thought of something: "My dear, Sisi is not here. I am really lonely on weekdays. The one in Jianjia Yuan is a careless one. You are already quite old. Don't be involved with Aunt Wang all day long." , why not take advantage of the fact that I still have some strength, marry a real wife at an early stage, and give birth to a legitimate son, so that I can rest assured."
"Marry a wife?" Shen Zhifeng was stunned for a moment: "Who should I marry?"
He felt a little uneasy, but when he heard that he could marry a woman, he couldn't help but feel ready to make a move.
"I will help you look at each other carefully and choose a few. Then I will call you over and let you make a decision." The old lady smiled, thinking that she must marry Shen Zhifeng a gentle, virtuous wife who respects her mother-in-law. When the time comes to have a real wife, let's see what Aunt Wang can be proud of.
Shen Zhifeng nodded in agreement and stayed for a while before leaving.
Not long after, Shen Shensi left.
The more the old lady thought about it, the more she felt that it was very urgent to find a stepmother for Shen Zhifeng, so she made preparations with great fanfare.
When the news reached Aunt Wang, she was so angry that she tore the half-embroidered veil: "This old immortal will have to fight against me."
Xiaoqiu also frowned: "Auntie, I see that your relationship with the Duke is getting better and better day by day. It will be troublesome if there is a real wife. I am afraid that things will not be easy by then."
Wang Qingrui sighed, that's right, man, who doesn't like the new but hates the old? If the new lady is still a high-class lady, it will be difficult for her to go further!
"Damn old woman, she's very old. She might as well be the middle-aged man in the Duke's palace. She's in charge of things, but she can't see me for a whole day." Wang Qingrui kept scolding: "When do you think she can calm down? !”
Xiao Qiu rolled her eyes: "Auntie, you said that if the old lady falls and the eldest lady is not willing to take charge of the house, will the housekeeping rights be given to you? Since the father-in-law's heart is with you, he should not be able to do so for a while. Got a wife."
Wang Qingrui looked at Xiaoqiu with a gloomy face. The two looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
In this case, don't blame her!
On the second day, Xiaoqiu sneaked to the kitchen and said, "It's done, miss, let's just wait for the good news."
The old lady didn't know anything about this yet. She picked out several portraits of ladies and called Shen Zhifeng over: "My son, look at them. They are all people with status and appearance. I heard they are also docile. You Look at this?"
Shen Zhifeng took the portrait and looked at the beauties on it. He felt that he was very satisfied with all of them and felt a little embarrassed: "Mom, let me choose. I think they are all good."
The old lady smiled and introduced the lady above. After all the talk, she was a little undecided.
