Chapter 2 Incense
Shen Qingyu's mother's surname is Wen, and her maiden name is Xiu. She is as gentle and beautiful as her name suggests. She is the daughter of a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy. She is a typical lady, and she speaks softly.
At this time, Ms. Wen was wearing a light-colored dress and was standing in the corridor talking to someone. She was a very beautiful woman, just standing there was a beautiful scenery. She turned her head slightly and saw Shen Qingyu coming over.
, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
She gently stroked Shen Qingyu's head and asked in a gentle tone, "Did Yu'er sleep well last night?"
In the first two days after waking up, Shen Qingyu had not been able to change from the identity of the old lady. She could not adapt to the role. She was very helpless in facing Wen's care. But now she can hold Wen's thigh without hesitation.
She acted coquettishly: "I slept well!"
A woman accompanying him coughed and reminded Shen Qingyu to salute and say hello.
"Greetings to mother." Shen Qingyu let go of her hand, stepped back and bowed.
Wen smiled, took Shen Qingyu's hand and continued walking forward.
At this time, a woman in dark clothes rushed over from a distance. When she saw the Wen family and her daughter, she saluted and said, "The old lady is already waiting. Please ask the second lady and the seventh girl to come over quickly!"
Mrs. Wen was stunned for a moment. There was still half an hour before the scheduled time. She originally wanted to go to Ms. Liu's place to wait after breakfast with Shen Qingyu. Now that Ms. Liu sent someone to urge her, she couldn't wait any longer, so she had to
He led Shen Qingyu and followed the servant girl.
From a distance, Shen Qingyu saw three carriages parked there, surrounded by many maids and servants, one old and one young.
The eldest is naturally the senior member of the Shen family, Mrs. Liu. She has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Shen Bo'an has been working as an official and has not come back for several years. The second son is Shen Qingyu's father Shen Zhongwen, and her daughters Shen Xinmei and Ji Yunshang.
His mother and third son were the concubine Shen Shuli. Because they were concubines, their relationship was not very close.
The younger one is naturally cousin Ji Yunshang. Although she is not very old, she already looks a bit beautiful. She may be really sick, and her face is even uglier than that of someone who has just recovered from a serious illness.
Mrs. Wen led Shen Qingyu to salute Ms. Liu, and Shen Qingyu quickly followed, fearing that her slightest hesitation would cause Mr. Liu's dissatisfaction.
As expected, Mrs. Liu hummed lightly, and then said in a strange tone: "You are indeed so delicate. You know you are going out, but you don't get up in advance. Instead, you need me, an old woman, to wait for you!"
It was her fault that the Wens made her wait.
Mrs. Wen asked, "Didn't mother say we should set off at chen time?"
Mrs. Liu frowned dissatisfied: "What do you mean? Are you blaming me for coming out early?"
Mrs. Wen's face immediately turned red and she quickly replied: "My wife doesn't dare, it's just a casual question. Please don't blame my mother!"
Mrs. Liu obviously didn't want to waste time on this matter. She snorted coldly and got into the carriage with Ji Yunshang first.
When it comes to the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family and the Wen family, it is actually not bad, but because the Wen family only has one son and one daughter, Shen Zhongwen has few descendants. Not only compared with the exposed Shen Bo'an, but also with the concubine Shen Shuli.
In comparison, Ms. Liu was rejected several times when she wanted to take a concubine for Shen Zhongwen. Naturally, she did not think that her son did not want to marry her. She only thought that it was Mr. Wen who said something to her son that made her son refuse. Therefore, her relationship with Mr. Wen has always been
neither cold nor hot.
Mrs. Wen led Shen Qingyu into a carriage at the back. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered, the maid next to Mrs. Wen, Forsythia, had already taken the food box and handed it over from outside the curtain, and whispered: "This is the servant who asked someone to deliver it from the kitchen."
Although the snacks here are a bit crude, they are better than the snacks prepared in the car." After speaking, he turned to the maid in green clothes and said to the side: "Ding Xiang, please serve the lady and the girl, at least let them eat some.
Don't be hungry."
Ding Xiang took the food box and said with a smile, "You'd better be careful. Don't worry, I'm with you, madam!"
When I opened the food box, a strong aroma hit me. There were two bowls of lotus root porridge and several plates of side dishes on the upper shelf, and a plate of crystal steamed dumplings and a plate of smoked duck shreds on the lower shelf.
The food box was well insulated, and everything was still hot. Shen Qingyu was hungry, so she couldn't help but swallow when she saw this.
Ding Xiang gave the porridge to Wen first, and then picked up the spoon to feed Shen Qingyu. Shen Qingyu tilted her head: "I can eat it myself!"
The carriage drove very smoothly, and there was no bumpy feeling in the carriage. Wen leaned in the carriage and talked to Ding Xiang without saying a word.
After Shen Qingyu finished breakfast, she opened a corner of the curtain and looked out of the car. There were more than 20 servants, women, and guards surrounding the car. The most conspicuous one was Ruyi. Although the carriage was not going fast, she was jogging with her short legs.
to keep up.
Shen Qingyu didn't see her when she got in the car. She just thought she was following the others in the carriage behind, and didn't care. Now she saw that she was actually walking away. She hurriedly tugged on Mrs. Wen's sleeve: "Mother, please let Ruyi
Come up in our car, okay?"
Mrs. Wen said with a straight face: "No." After Shen Qingyu fell into the water, her original intention was to replace all the people in Shen Qingyu's yard. It was only when Shen Qingyu woke up and begged for mercy that she ordered people to beat up all those people.
Until now, those people are still lying down, leaving Ruyi behind. They are just worried that Shen Qingyu will not be used to having no familiar people around.
Shen Qingyu tugged on Mrs. Wen's sleeve: "Mother, please!"
Only when Shen Qingyu begged her would she change her name to mother. When she called her mother, Wen's heart softened: "Dingxiang, go and ask her to come up!"
Ruyi got on the carriage and said quickly: "Thank you madam for your kindness."
After such a long journey, Ruyi's face turned red, and Shen Qingyu felt extremely distressed. She handed over the tea at hand: "Drink some water and take a breath!"
Ruyi took the water with some fear: "Don't dare bother the girl!" She knew in her heart that Madam was dissatisfied with her these days, and she did not dare to talk to Shen Qingyu as usual.
Seeing that she was uneasy, Shen Qingyu leaned back against Mrs. Wen and secretly looked at Mrs. Wen's face. Unexpectedly, her eyes met and she hurriedly smiled at Mrs. Wen.
Wen touched her head affectionately, "When Qingyu woke up after falling into the water this time, she was indeed a lot more sensible. If she is still as lawless as before, I don't know how many headaches I will have."
Shen Qingyu quickly expressed her position, raised three fingers and vowed to the sky, "I swear from now on, I will only be more sensible and never let my mother worry about me. If I can't do it, let me not eat what I want every day."
Yes, I can only make do with some snacks."
She deliberately said some childish words to please Mr. Wen.
As expected, Ms. Wen was amused by her serious swearing, and she no longer kept a straight face, and the atmosphere in the car became relaxed.
