Shen Lansui glanced inside through the bead curtain. The eldest lady was wearing a lotus-colored double-breasted jacket. She tied her hair with a thin belt and wiped her forehead. She took a small fan and kept fanning it.
After hearing the announcement, Lalan looked up and said, "Come in."
The maid then looked at Shen Lansui and made a "please" gesture.
The two went to pick out the bead curtain. Shen Lansui walked in slowly and bowed to the eldest lady, "Lansui has met the eldest lady."
The eldest lady leaned on the cushions and said nothing. She didn't stop holding the fan, as if she didn't hear her at all.
Shen Lan's thought came again, and she used Ma Wei's tricks to irritate her.
She stood up straight away, and He Chu, the maid standing next to the eldest lady, immediately shouted: "Third Young Madam, why did you get up before the eldest lady spoke?"
The eldest lady looked over this time but did not speak.
"How can the eldest lady not let me get up without any reason? I must have forgotten. If I keep saluting and feel uncomfortable, wouldn't I be making a mistake and making the eldest lady unkind? I will get up by myself, and there is no need to mention it again if the eldest lady thinks of it. , we forgot each other about this, so let’s leave it at that, why did you mention it? Now it’s embarrassing the eldest lady.”
Shen Lansui looked at He Chu reproachfully.
Hechu: "???"
Can you still be so quibly?
Madam: "..."
She tightened her fingers on the handle of the fan, and He Chu looked over in fear. She swung the fan lightly and scolded softly: "There are no rules, get off."
"yes."
He Chu went out reluctantly. Before leaving, he looked back at Shen Lansui, feeling unhappy.
Shen Lansui just pretended not to know and looked at the eldest lady without changing her expression.
The eldest lady sat up a little, pointed to the empty seat opposite and said, "Sit down."
He Jiao stepped forward to add tea to Shen Lansui and the eldest lady, and then retreated to the outside to keep watch. Without the outsiders, Shen Lansui took the initiative and asked, "I wonder why the eldest lady called me here today?"
"Can't I call you if nothing happens?" The eldest lady glanced at her, her attitude was surprisingly gentle.
Shen Lansui's heart suddenly sounded alarms. If something went wrong, there must be a monster. The eldest lady was not a good-tempered person.
She answered the words cautiously, "The eldest lady is an elder, and it is only natural for her to ask me to be your companion. I am just a little curious."
"Don't be nervous, I'm not asking you to accuse me today." The lady put down the fan, picked up the tea cup and gently used the lid to stir up the tea foam. "This is new tea this year. The taste is not mellow enough, but it is better than freshness." , you taste it.”
Shen Lansui's thoughts were racing. Everyone in Pinglan Court knew that she had come to the eldest lady's yard. If she ate bad food here, the eldest lady would be the one to blame. She would not be stupid enough to drug her, not to mention that she had abnormality. Being here, the thing I am least afraid of is medicine and poison.
She calmly picked up the tea and took a sip, savored it for a moment and said, "It's really good. It has the refreshing feeling of being in a tea garden after the rain."
The eldest lady was a little surprised to see her being so open-minded and said, "If you like it, you might as well take more with you when you go back. I still have a lot here."
"That's disrespectful. Thank you, madam." Shen Lansui smiled in a neither humble nor overbearing way.
The eldest lady sighed: "It's okay for your child to marry the third child, so he can call me eldest lady, but it's just that we are a bit different after all."
Shen Lansui didn't answer, just looked at her quietly.
Seeing that the condom was almost useless, the eldest lady changed her voice and said, "I heard that the people at Pinglan Yuan asked you to replace half of it. Why? But they didn't do the job well?"
"Alas~" Shen Lansui pinched the handkerchief and sighed, "The eldest lady is the mistress of the family, and no one is dissatisfied with her servants. Naturally, she doesn't know my difficulties. Some of the slaves work against the will and become bolder. Even I, the master, don't know how to deal with it." Taking this into consideration, I naturally have to teach them a lesson, otherwise how will I be able to gain a foothold in Pinglan Academy in the future?"
"That's what I said, but such a big fight will inevitably make people panic." The eldest lady put down the tea cup and said seriously: "You also built a small kitchen in the courtyard? Do you plan not to eat with everyone in the future?"
"What are you talking about?" Shen Lansui smiled, "I built a small kitchen for Sanlang's benefit. His legs and feet are not good, and he takes medicine more than he eats. After all, it will be in the way in the big kitchen. If he gets busy, , if you care about this end but not that end, it won’t look good on either side if you neglect it.”
"I happen to have some money on hand to build a small kitchen by myself. In the future, the money will be paid out of my account. It will be convenient for everyone and save the house a lot of money. Isn't that good?"
Shen Lansui looked at the eldest lady innocently, "I heard that the eldest brother also has a small kitchen, so he can follow his example. Is there anything special about it?"
"What's the point? I just asked." The eldest lady sighed: "If I don't ask, the Duke should think that I don't care about you. I ask too many questions, and you are bored. There is really no best of both worlds in this world."
Seeing her sad expression, Shen Lansui picked up the tea cup and continued drinking tea.
Madam: "..."
Why are you so expressionless? Why don't you give her a few words of comfort?
"What do you think, Lan Sui?"
Shen Lansui raised his eyes blankly, met her gaze, and nodded slightly, "What the eldest lady said is absolutely true."
Madam: "..."
She rested her elbows on the low table and rested her forehead on her palms.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell? How about I retire first and call the doctor?" Shen Lansui asked knowingly.
It's quite uncomfortable. I get a headache just listening to you talk. The eldest lady thought silently in her heart.
"No need, I just remembered some past events and felt a little sad."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at Shen Lansui. It was time to ask her about the past this time, right?
Shen Lansui immediately lowered his head and seemed to be interested in the tea leaves in the cup.
Madam: "..."
She clenched her hands, raised her voice slightly and asked, "Speaking of which, have you and Saburo consummated your marriage?"
Shen Lan thought to herself, "Here we come."
She raised her eyes and shook her head shyly, "Not yet."
"Is it because Sanlang's body is not enough? Or is he unwilling?" The eldest lady's eyes lit up.
Shen Lansui whispered: "Sanlang and I are both injured, and we have just gotten married, so there is no rush."
"Don't hide it for him. Whether he is in a hurry or unwilling, I know very well. He was a lively and cute child when he was a child. Unexpectedly, he became more withdrawn as he grew older, making it difficult for others to get close to him."
Shen Lansui's heart moved, "Why is this?"
"You also saw his eyes." The eldest lady lowered her voice and looked serious. "It's neither like his father nor his mother. I don't know who he followed. I can't find the other one in the whole Yangtze."
"The Taoist fortune teller said that double pupils bring good fortune and good luck, while green pupils bring bad luck and bring bad luck. The Duke didn't believe it at first, so he went to Lingshan Temple to ask the eminent monk to give Saburo a fortune. The result was that it was a fate of a natural evil that would harm his family and his wife. Not long after, he was in the courtyard. A bookboy there died. From then on, everyone was afraid of Sanlang and gradually distanced themselves from each other." After finishing speaking, the eldest lady sighed quietly.
Shen Lansui was filled with questions. Compared with green eyes, double pupils are more scary, right? Is it actually a good omen?
But the green eyes are really pretty.
No wonder Lu Xingyue asked her if she was afraid of him before. He didn't often look at others. Could it be because of these eyes?
