Chapter 6 Younger Sister

Inside Yunsong Courtyard, everything is quiet and peaceful.

While the old lady was chatting and laughing with a room full of Yingying Yanyan, Shen Fengxu walked in with Shen Yumin in her arms.

With a modest and gentle smile on her face, she put Shen Yumin down from her arms, gathered her clothes and saluted: "My granddaughter wishes my grandmother good wishes."

Shen Yumin also imitated Shen Fengxu: "Grandma...please, please greet..." The words seemed to be swallowed in the throat, and her speech was also unclear.

She is clearly a five-year-old girl, but she acts like a fool in every move. She always has a silly smile on her face. Although she looks cute and cute, it would be inappropriate for a daughter of a noble family to be like this.

The old lady was wearing a crimson cloud gown. Although the decorations were simple and simple, she was still dignified. There was only a hairpin in her bun and no extra ornaments. Perhaps because she had been worshiping Buddha for many years, she had a faint smell of sandalwood on her body.

"Why are you here holding this girl?" The old lady's eyebrows were slightly displeased, but it was only for a moment.

The family has always disliked Shen Yumin. Her biological mother was the second concubine's aunt, and she was originally a concubine. In addition, she was born stupid and could not speak until she was four years old. Now that she is five years old, she still needs a wet nurse to take care of her.

Chen Fengxu looked at the old lady and said with a gentle smile: "My granddaughter met Min'er on the road. Seeing that she wanted to pay her respects to the old lady, she brought her here. Now that she has paid her respects, my granddaughter will let Min'er go back. "

The old lady has always been reluctant to see Shen Yumin, and has always skipped greetings. But after saying this, the old lady also waved her hand and said: "Since you are here, you are not in a hurry to leave, just sit down."

Shen Fengxu pulled Shen Yumin over and sat down together.

Although they spend time in the morning and evening every day, not all of them are here due to the studies of the children in the mansion. In half a year, after Shen Fengxu enrolls in Bailu Academy, if he enrolls, there will be no need to come here every day to say hello.

"I didn't expect Sixth Sister to like that girl so much." A girl smiled charmingly, "Even Aunt Su rarely visits her."

Aunt Su is Shen Yumin’s biological mother.

The speaker is Shen Yuning, the third girl from the second room. She has a pair of red and phoenix eyes as charming as peach blossoms, a straight nose, and slightly pursed thin lips. Between her frown and smile, she is as bright as spring flowers and as beautiful as the autumn moon.

When he first saw Shen Yuning, Shen Fengxu seemed a little surprised and asked, "Why didn't the third sister go to the academy today?"

"I'm not feeling well today, so I took a leave of absence with my wife." Shen Yuning mentioned it briefly, perhaps unwilling to mention it, but her face was rosy, her eyes were bright, and she didn't have the slightest hint of illness, so she didn't have the confidence to say this.

"How could Third Sister know? Sixth Sister is kind to that girl in person, but hasn't she ever seen her in private?" Shen Yuxiang's words were full of yin and yang. She naturally hated Shen Fengxu because of the hosta incident.

"What the fourth sister said is right." Chen Fengxu nodded slightly, not denying it, but just asked, "But the fourth sister refuses to even call her Min'er in front of others?"

Because Shen Yumin was born stupid, few people in the family got close to her. After all, this child was born with a flaw and was a concubine. She had no future and no favor. Even if she was on good terms with her, she would be confused all day long.

But this can be said in private and should never be put on the table.

When Shen Yuxiang was about to speak, the eldest lady stopped her.

"Fengxu." The eldest lady called, and her eyes fell on Shen Fengxu's bun, "Why didn't you wear the hairpin I gave you? Is it because you dislike your mother's things?"

Chen Fengxu stood up hurriedly and said, "My daughter didn't dare. It's just because it belongs to her mother. She was afraid of bumping it, so she put it properly in the dowry."

The eldest lady nodded, stepped forward and held Shen Fengxu's hand: "I regard you and Bai Tang as my own children, but it is inevitable that the servants in the house will act imprudently. If you are lacking something, just tell your mother. ."

When the old lady saw this, although she did not speak, she still nodded with satisfaction.

After Jiang Rou died that year, there was no one in charge of the house, and the old lady refused to allow Jiang Wan to be the leader for a time, preferring that Shen Yanning marry a girl from another family to become the leader.

After all, the restoration of a concubine is always a harbinger of family ruin, but Jiang Wan has done nothing wrong since the restoration, and she has kept Dongning's house in order, and she has shown great care for the children in the house.

Shen Yumin suddenly grabbed Shen Fengxu's sleeves and looked straight at her with a pair of transparent eyes: "Thirsty..."

Shen Fengxu hurriedly took his hand out of the eldest lady's, picked up the tea cup, blew on it, and carefully fed Shen Yumin some water.

"Why is Sixth Sister so good at taking care of people?" Fifth Girl Shen Yujia said curiously, "I didn't realize that before."

Shen Fengxu just smiled: "Min'er is your little sister and it is natural to take care of her."

At this moment, Shen Yumin choked and spat out a mouthful of water. She spat on the eldest lady's clothes and wet her brocade-patterned coat.

The eldest lady's expression changed, her disgust was palpable, and there was deep disgust in her eyes, but it only took a moment before she returned to her usual gentle demeanor.

"Feng Xu is still a child after all. Although she takes good care of Yu Min, she still chokes her. It's better to let the nanny come." The eldest lady waved the nanny over, "You take the seventh girl out and take good care of her."

The wet nurse responded and stepped forward to take Shen Yumin away. Before leaving, Shen Yumin kept looking back at Shen Fengxu and opened her mouth as if to say something, but there were only broken syllables.

Shen Fengxu didn't stop him. Seeing Shen Yumin leave, he just sat there with his head lowered, neither making a sound nor moving, just quietly listening to what others said.

The old lady had always liked Shen Yulou and Shen Yuxiang, but since Shen Yulou entered school, only Shen Yuxiang came to say hello every day, so the old lady became more and more fond of Shen Yuxiang.

Shen Yuxiang presented a painting to the old lady as if she were offering a treasure: "Grandma, look at it."

The painting is full of beautiful spring scenery, full of flowers, and vividly expresses the charm of the spring season, penetrating into the wood. Such a masterful painting is enough to show the exquisiteness of the painter.

The old lady looked at it carefully for a moment and asked: "Is this the authentic work of Xu Yan, the former national player? It's just that there are some differences..."

"Grandma said that, she was praising her granddaughter." Shen Yuxiang smiled softly, "This is an imitation by my granddaughter, not an original. My granddaughter saw this spring embroidery painting at the eldest princess's mansion before, so she asked the eldest princess to lend it to her. God, I just painted this."

"Not bad, not bad." The old lady nodded approvingly.

"That is to say, the fourth sister has the opportunity to go to the eldest princess's mansion. We sisters have never even had a chance to see the real thing. How can we be like the fourth sister? We can borrow it to see it for a few days." Shen Yuning was a little envious, and her words were full of sourness. gas.

The old lady glanced at her and said, "If you have the ability, you can borrow it for a few days. If you can't, just say less."

Shen Yuning hurriedly said: "My granddaughter doesn't dare."

After another round of gossip, the old lady was tired and said, "You all should go back."
