After leaving Mrs. Shen's room, Shen Tianshu was filled with doubts.
When she returned to Shuangtang Courtyard, she called Aunt Yang over and asked, "What happened at home recently?"
"There's nothing wrong!" Nanny Yang was confused by the question, "Oh, it's just that the eldest master and eldest lady came over from their hometown. They just arrived a few days ago. Didn't the girl go to the old lady's room just now? "
Shen Tianshu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you. I originally said that as a junior, I should go and pay a visit, but the old lady said no, and said we would just have dinner together in the evening."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yang also felt strange.
When she was in her hometown, Shen Tianshu was still young and didn't know much about it, but Grandma Yang still remembered it.
Perhaps she felt sorry for him as the eldest son but was in poor health. Mrs. Shen could say that she had a completely different view of Mr. Shen and her other two sons.
Whenever anyone in the family is disrespectful to Mr. Shen, or accidentally bumps into Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen will be furious and severely punished.
Why didn't Shen Tianshu go to see him this time?
Shen Tianshu asked again: "What did the uncle and aunt do after they arrived?
"After the eldest gentleman and eldest lady arrived, they almost stayed in the old lady's room all day.
"Maybe it's because they don't have children, so they both like to take care of their baby and often coax him to play."
"Do you still remember, grandma, what kind of people are uncle and aunt? Are they easy to get along with?"
"Although the eldest man is not in good health, he is a very kind person and has always had a good relationship with the eldest lady for so many years.
"The eldest lady is even more of a good-natured person with a soft personality. She never fights with anyone, and her family never says anything bad about her."
"Since we are all easy to get along with and nothing happened, why is grandma's attitude so strange today? Even Chunlan...
"Forget it." Shen Tianshu really couldn't think of anything and simply gave up, "Let me introduce to you first. This is Yun'er. She was sent to take care of me by the concubine when I was in the other courtyard. Later she came to see us. She hit it off, so she just gave her to me.
"She is new here, so I bothered grandma to take her with her for a few days and teach her the rules at home."
As soon as she heard that Xie Yun was the person who was rewarded by the Dowager Empress, Grandma Yang immediately looked at her and said, "Oh, people trained by the Dowager Empress don't need me to teach them any rules."
Xie Yun saluted Nanny Yang and said: "As the saying goes, every family has its own rules. When a servant has just arrived, he is afraid that he does not understand the rules of the house. If he makes a mistake, he will not only smear the face of the concubine, but also make people laugh. The girl doesn’t know how to teach others, so I ask my grandma to teach me more.”
"Look at this kid, he's so good at talking!" Aunt Yang happily took Xie Yun's hand and said, "It's not about teaching, how can a family like ours have more rules than the prince's palace?
"Just relax, and I'll talk to you about it later. You're so smart, just make sure it's clear."
"Then I'll have to worry about Yun'er." Shen Tianshu said, "Mammy, please help me call Mingxiu over. I'll ask her something."
Mingxiu is busy making clothes for Shen Tianshu recently.
The period of filial piety is about to begin, and Shen Tianshu has grown a bit taller than last year, so he needs to prepare all his autumn and winter clothes again.
Especially those woolen clothes in winter, the workmanship is complicated and exquisite, so you need to prepare them early.
So when Shen Tianshu called her over, she still had a layer of floating hair on her body.
"Girl, are you looking for a slave?"
"Have you had any contact with Chunlan recently?" Shen Tianshu asked.
"Yes, I went to Sister Chunlan a few days ago to ask for a dress pattern, and I am planning to make a winter coat for the girl!" Mingxiu said excitedly when he mentioned this, "Sister Chunlan can make that dress pattern. It's excellent. When the jacket is cut according to the shape, the armpits won't look bloated at all..."
Shen Tianshu interrupted her quickly and said, "I'm not asking you this. When was the last time you saw her? Has she said anything to you recently, or is there anything different from before?"
Mingxiu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "If the girl asks this, it seems to be quite a bit.
"After the girl left this time, when the slave went to see Sister Chunlan, although her attitude was still the same as before, she did not come to the slave to work with her as often as before.
"The slave also asked her, and she always said it was because Bao'er was in the old lady's room, so she was too busy to get away.
"My slave thought it made sense at the time. Suddenly there was a child in the room, so he would definitely be busier than before, so he gradually reduced the number of times he bothered Sister Chunlan.
"Oh, and also, on the day when I learned that the eldest master and the eldest lady were coming to Wuchang Mansion, Sister Chunlan seemed to be in a bad mood. She was always distracted while doing work and pricked her hand several times.
"But when the slave asked her what was wrong, she said she just didn't sleep well and nothing happened."
Mingxiu suddenly said at this point: "Speaking of it, it seems that from that day until now, Sister Chunlan has not come to work with the slaves."
Shen Tianshu fell into deep thought after hearing this, so the source of everything still lies with Mr. Shen and his wife?
But Grandma Yang said that both of them were very good-tempered people.
"I understand. You should go back first. I'll look for Chunlan more often when I have free time recently. There's no need to inquire about anything. Just keep an eye on her to see if there's anything wrong with her."
Since he couldn't figure out the reason, Shen Tianshu simply put it aside for now.
Maybe we can get some clues when we meet at dinner tonight.
After riding in the car all morning, Shen Tianshu was indeed tired.
After she showered and changed, she went to take a nap.
I got up in the afternoon to freshen up, picked out some old clothes and put them on, but found that my waist was a little loose.
Mingyu said while helping Shen Tianshu get dressed: "Young lady has lost so much weight since she went out. You have to ask Mingxiu to measure you again, otherwise the autumn clothes she made will not fit you."
Shen Tianshu looked in the mirror and said, "It's easy to gain weight in autumn, and autumn clothes don't have to be as close-fitting as summer clothes. It's okay to be a little looser. Don't look back. I've already made the clothes and I'm fat. I can't wear them anymore." .”
Mingyu looked around and felt dissatisfied, so he suggested: "Why don't you add a belt to the girl? It can also show off your waist."
"Forget it, there's no need to bother with eating at home." Shen Tianshu shook his head.
As soon as she finished tidying up, Shen Yunhui came over with the maid.
"Sister, you didn't even say a word to me when you came back!" Shen Yunhui's voice came in before she entered the door. "I received the news in the afternoon, but you were sleeping, so I had to go back..."
"Sorry, I was negligent. I was quite tired all the way back in the car. Grandma said she would meet my uncle and aunt in the evening and asked me to come back and rest. I was afraid of being rude, so I hurried back and took a nap."
As soon as Shen Yunhui entered the room and saw Shen Tianshu, she immediately frowned.
