1207, vengeance
Mrs. Zheng Si took a deep breath and nodded, "What my mother said is that my wife wanted to stay Xiaojiu for two more years, so she was delayed!"
"No matter how much you love, you can't ignore the reputation of the Zheng family because of this. It's too old to not get married, and it doesn't sound good if it spreads!"
"Yes, it's all the wife's fault!" Mrs. Zheng Si didn't want to argue with the old lady, so she admitted the wrong thing directly. She knew that the old lady was instigated by Mrs. Zheng Er, otherwise the old lady would have been very close to Xu Shu just now, so she changed her attitude now!
The old lady nodded and wanted to ask Zheng Wanying to talk to her, but she felt that she was too deliberate to do so, so she looked at Chang Peipei on the side and smiled, "You have been married for a while, but are you still used to it?"
Chang Peipei had long heard that the old lady in the East Mansion was not very kind-hearted, and she had been frightened today. Seeing the old lady talking to her so kindly, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied quickly, "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine!"
"Yeah!" The old lady nodded and then looked at Zheng Wanying, "Sister Ying, your sister-in-law has just married and is not familiar with many things. You should talk to her more and teach her!"
"Yes!" Zheng Wanying responded with a sweet smile. She looked extremely well-behaved. The old lady liked her more and more. Obviously, the prejudice caused by the frequent diseases of Xifu disappeared.
The old lady took the opportunity to call Zheng Wanying to talk to her. Mrs. Zheng Si saw it and her face looked a little bad. She turned to look at Xu Shu and felt a little relieved when she saw Xu Shu's calm expression. However, she thought in her heart that the old lady's move seemed to have other intentions. The meaning of this hand-twist was too obvious. Then she thought about the origin of Xu Shu and the prince. Mrs. Zheng Si felt that the old lady was just a waste of effort.
The relationship between the East Mansion and the West Mansion was not very close before, especially after Chen fell ill for no reason, the old lady was even more disliked the people from the two palaces. This time, the old lady suggested that the two palaces celebrate the New Year together, because the old lady was an elder, the West Mansion was not easy to refute, so he could only bring his family to come here with him.
But the old lady didn't get close to Zheng Wanying in the past. This time, she suddenly got close to her, and made Zheng Wanying feel at a loss. She stiffly asked her body and asked in a word. Suddenly, she heard Master Zheng Qi's suggestion to set off fireworks. The other masters also agreed. Zheng Wanying hurriedly said to Chen, "Mom, I'm going to set off fireworks with my brother!"
Before Chen could speak, the old lady said with a slight reproach, "That's something that boys play with. What's the fun of your family, your tranquil daughter?"
Zheng Wanying looked at Chen with hope, who never restrained her like this.
Chen said slowly without being arrogant or humble, "I can relax all year round these few days, so I feel embarrassed to restrain her. Besides, it doesn't matter if my brothers watch her. The old lady will let her join in the fun!"
Chen was not his daughter-in-law after all, and was dismissed at this moment. Although the old lady was a little annoyed, she could still show it to her face. So she kindly told Zheng Wanying, "Then you just watch it, don't get started. During the Chinese New Year last year..." The old lady thought about Qian Yi being burned by fireworks last year, and was about to use it as an example. Seeing Mrs. Zheng Si pursing her lips and feeling displeased, she held back and patted Zheng Wanying's hand, "Go!"
"Thank you, old lady!" Zheng Wanying hurriedly fled to the old lady, visited Xu Shu, and pulled Xu Shu and said, "Sister Yi, please accompany me!"
Xu Shu's eyes were no longer visible now, so it was meaningless to join in the fun. With Zheng Zhiwen here, Xu Shu really didn't want to have any contact with Zheng Zhiwen, so she politely declined, "I'm a newly made jacket, and I'm just here. If I feel so distressed by Mars, I won't go!"
Zheng Wanying shook Xu Shu's hand and said coquettishly, "It's okay! This year's fireworks have improved the craftsmanship and will not splash sparks! If the fire comes, I'll make a new one for you, so you can accompany me!"
As he said that, he pulled Xu Shu away without saying anything.
"Hey...ah..." Mrs. Zheng Si hesitated behind her, and finally put down her hand powerlessly and reminded her, "Be careful, it's dark outside, don't knock it!"
Chen apologized to Mrs. Zheng Si, "Sister Ying is willful, you are causing trouble!"
Mrs. Zheng Si waved her hand, "They have a good relationship with sisters, and I feel envious when I see it!"
Zheng Wanying dragged Xu Shu out, and the young men outside had already brought out boxes of fireworks. Zheng Wanli said in surprise, "Why are there so many?"
Zheng Zhiwen said, "This year, the two families celebrate the New Year together, and there will naturally be more fireworks from the two families!" Zheng Zhiwen's eyes moved from Zheng Wanying to Xu Shu, with a complicated expression. After a moment, he suddenly walked away quickly.
Zheng Wanying whispered to Xu Shu, "Sister Yi, you see, it's less than a month before my brother has been all gone, which shows that Chongxi is indeed useful!"
Xu Shu didn’t know whether Chongxi was useful, but Zheng Zhiwen’s health improved had nothing to do with Chongxi.
Zheng Wanying said again, "Mother said that they are all sister-in-law's horoscope, which is good for their husbands. Now they love their sister-in-law better than me!"
Xu Shu couldn't help laughing. Chang Peipei has made a big advantage, but with Chang Peipei's temperament, don't be petty, otherwise I'm really sorry for Chen's feelings for her!
When Young Master Zheng Qi turned around, he saw Xu Shu coming out. He hurried over and said with concern, "Why is Jiu Mei coming?" Xu Shu couldn't see her eyes, what did she do when she came out?
Zheng Wanying smiled and said, "I took Sister Yi to accompany me!"
Young Master Zheng Qi smiled and said, "Sister Wanying, go and choose something beautiful, let Brother Wen order you. There are colorful ones this year!"
"Really?" Zheng Wanying immediately ran to Zheng Zhiwen.
Young Master Zheng Qi lowered his head and whispered to Xu Shu, "You can stay away from Brother Wen later?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Shu's heart was shocked. Could it be that Young Master Zheng Qi also knew Zheng Zhiwen's thoughts?
"Just just now, Brother Wen and Brother Wu got dirty. It was not a big deal. But Brother Wen said that this year, the spring examination was not held because of Prince Long'an. I don't know if there will be a lie next year. Brother Wu failed the exam and was very sensitive to this matter. He felt that Brother Wen was sarcasticating him, so he stabbed Brother Wen a few words. Brother Wen did not refute at that time. Just now, I saw him looking around in the box. Finally, I took a firecracker and looked in my hand and didn't let go, and I didn't put it on. I felt a little strange. I was afraid that he wanted to tease Brother Wu. You are far away from him and Brother Wu later, don't implicate you!"
Xu Shu nodded, "Thank you, Brother Qi!"
