In the Chengdong Theater.
On the high platform, Sun Wukong, wearing a purple-gold crown with phoenix wings, beat the Bone Demon with a stick until he revealed his original shape. The musicians behind the stage played string instruments, played string instruments and sang, and the climax came one after another, making it very lively.
There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience. Shanshan sat in Shen Yungui's arms, clapped his little hands red, and his face was flushed with excitement.
After the Monkey King and the White Bone Demon both left the stage, Shen Yun returned and lowered his head and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
The good intentions are not over yet: "I said I would take Brother Shitou to see Havoc in Heaven, but he hasn't seen it yet."
"Instead of playing Havoc in Heaven in the theater today, it's all Monkey King, not much different."
"That...okay then."
The audience dispersed one after another, and Shen Yungui hugged Shanshan and walked out, with Shitou following behind him. There were many stalls outside the theater. He patiently bought clay figurines and masks for the children. With his arms full of messy gadgets, he found an empty seat in a nearby teahouse and sat down.
His pampered, calculating hands worked hard to peel chestnuts, and all the golden, soft and glutinous chestnut meat fell into Shanshan's mouth.
Shanshan's cheeks bulged out from eating, his round eyes smiled like crescent moons, and even his feet under the table raised up happily. After seeing Sun Wukong and eating delicious food, she forgot all the sad things.
After coaxing the person, Shen Yungui finally asked: "Who is your mother going to marry?"
"Third Auntie said that my mother is going to marry Mr. He."
"Which Mr. He?"
Shanshan shook his head: "I don't know, he's just a good-looking uncle."
"What's his name? Where does he live? How did your mother recognize him? How long have you just arrived in the capital, and she...she decided to get married?!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and the strength in his hand failed, and the golden chestnut meat turned into mud.
Shen Yungui clapped his hands angrily and said angrily: "We haven't even met her a few times, so you are sure she is a good person?"
Shanshan thought hard.
"Third Auntie said that Mr. He is the number one scholar and has a bright future! It seems that my mother has recognized him a long time ago."
"Does your mother recognize it too?"
Chen Yungui's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly remembered a person: "Last name is He? He Lanzhou?!"
"Uncle Shen, do you recognize him too?"
Shen Yungui's face looked uncertain.
They were both from Yuncheng, and the Shen family and the Wen family were close. How could he not know that Wen Yiqing sponsored a champion. This was all before Shanshan was born.
I think that he is a dignified young master of the Shen family, with a fortune of millions, and has always had smooth sailing, but he has suffered repeated setbacks on the road of love. People who have been guarding each other since they were childhood sweethearts were only intercepted once, but He Lanzhou was killed again accidentally. How can there be such an unreasonable thing in the world!
Shanshan glances at him secretly.
Every time she sees Uncle Shen, he always smiles and pulls out a lot of delicious and fun things from his sleeves. He doesn't mind even if he encounters her mother's cold face. This was the first time Shanshan saw his face look so ugly.
Is it because of Mr. He?
Because her mother is getting married?
Shanshan thought for a while. She cried all the way. She had vented her grievances and sorrows, and was comforted by "Sun Wukong". She was no longer as sad as before. She has always been a very optimistic little girl. Now when she saw Shen Yungui - he was also a man who wanted to be a good father and had always been very kind to her - and then thought of Mr. He, so many people praised him. , even her mother is willing to marry him, so she must be a very good person, right?
If she was a good person, he wouldn't have driven her out to become a beggar, right?
Shanshan comforted him in turn: "Uncle Shen, don't worry."
Shen Yungui: "..."
Chen Yun was so angry that he stretched out his hand and rubbed her head heavily. Shanshan was not annoyed, and let him knead his face like dough, and even moved the other half of his face towards her in a good-tempered manner.
Shen Yungui asked her again: "Has the wedding date been set? When will it be?
Shanshan's eyes were blank, staring at him with big eyes and small eyes.
He asked again: "At what stage have your mother's marriage discussions reached?"
Shanshan asks three questions and does not know.
He couldn't sit still for a moment, fearing that it would be too late as he delayed, so he simply picked up the child and said, "Where is your home? Show me the way."
Go to the door and block people!
…
There was a message from Yahang that they had found several shops with good locations and sizes. Wen Yiqing and Nanny Chen went to see them together today. After taking a liking to them, they bought the shops.
She returned home with the deed in her arms. It was almost dusk, and the courtyard was empty, with no sign of the little girl.
Shanshan mentioned to her that she would take Shitou to the theater in the east of the city to watch a show today, but it was already past the time to go home. She was about to go out to look for her, but just as she stepped out of the gate of the uncle's house, she saw a carriage stopped at the door.
The car curtain opened, and the little girl's head was revealed, with a round face, crooked eyes, and two little knobs on the top of her head.
"mother!"
Shanshan got out of the carriage. She was still a child. The carriage was taller than her, so a pair of hands stretched out from the carriage and hugged her down steadily. As soon as he stood firm, Shanshan happily ran towards his mother.
She threw herself into her mother's arms, and the things in her arms fell to the ground with a clatter.
They are all worthless gadgets, mostly toys and snacks that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
Wen Yiqing couldn't care about her at the moment, looking directly behind her.
The owner of the carriage came out one step behind. He was dressed in elegant purple brocade clothes and had a handsome and affectionate face. However, the corners of his lips were tightened and his face was full of anger, as if someone owed him a hundred thousand taels of silver.
"Shen Yungui?" Wen Yiqing was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Chen Yungui said with a smile on his face: "I have property in the capital, why can't I be here? If I hadn't been lucky enough, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with your wedding."
"What big wedding?"
With a flick of his wrist, the folding fan swung up and down. It was neither chic nor graceful, and seemed to be about to create a gust of wind. "You're here to ask me about your big day? Mr. He is the number one criminal record, and Mrs. Wen is really lucky."
"He Lanzhou?" Wen Yiqing was surprised: "What is my relationship with Mr. He?"
"You are about to get married to He Lanzhou, and you still want to hide it from me?"
Wen Yiqing frowned: "Master He and I are innocent. Don't ruin our reputations by talking nonsense."
Shen Yungui paused and looked over suspiciously.
"Aren't you going to marry He Lanzhou?" He put away the folding fan in his hand, "Did Shanshan lie to me?"
"Shan Shan?"
Wen Yiqing lowered his head, and the little girl raised her innocent little head, her young face full of innocence: "Mom, aren't you going to marry Mr. He?"
Wen Yiqing had a headache.
She didn’t know where the little girl heard the rumor. There was someone in front of her who was asking for accusations. She didn’t want to say more, so she just picked up her daughter and said, “Don’t spread rumors about Wu Feng Wu Ying anymore.”
"real?"
Wen Yiqing didn't answer, turned around and walked towards the mansion with her daughter in her arms.
The person behind him had smiled again, his peach blossom eyes were gleaming, he shook his folding fan and said in a loud voice: "Ms. Wen, Shen's new residence is in Lihua Lane, the largest house."
Shanshan lay on her mother's shoulder, but her mother ignored her and waved to Shen Yungui from a distance.
Chen Yun Gui Le said: "Shan Shan, I will come see you next time."
Shanshan responded happily: "Okay!"
After turning the corner, nothing could be seen.
Wen Yiqing hugged her without saying a word. It wasn't until she returned to their small courtyard and the door was slammed shut, and she saw her mother's serious face, that she belatedly realized that her mother was angry.
Wen Yiqing asked her: "Shanshan, where did you hear about the matter between Master He and me?"
"My third aunt told me, she said Master He is going to be my father."
"What did the third sister-in-law say?"
"She also said that she wants me to study hard so that I can please Mr. He." Shanshan thought about it, and her sadness came back. She said aggrievedly: "Mom, do you not like me?"
"..."
"I will be obedient and study in the future. If my stepfather doesn't like me, don't throw me away, okay?" Shanshan was extremely sad. In front of her mother, those grievances that Sun Dasheng had coaxed were like well water at this moment. Gurgling came up. "I'm not as powerful as Brother Shitou. If I become a beggar, I will starve to death, and then I will never see you again."
"..."
Wen Yiqing sighed heavily.
She reluctantly held her little daughter in her arms: "Third aunt is lying to you. She has no stepfather. Mom will not abandon you."
"Really?"
"real."
Shanshan looked at her hesitantly for a while, tentatively stretched out his little finger, and looked at her expectantly. Wen Yiqing understood and extended his little finger to hook her.
Lagou said that if you go back on your word, you will be struck by lightning!
Shanshan's heart, which was hanging in the air, finally fell down, and fell heavily into her stomach. She pursed her lips and smiled happily, with two small pear dimples on her cheeks. But it soon disappeared again.
"Why is Third Auntie so bad!" Shanshan frowned unhappily: "I don't even lie. She is an adult, yet she still lies to me."
"My mother will go and tell her clearly so that she will never mention it again."
Shanshan thought for a while and said reluctantly: "Actually, it's okay if you find me a stepfather."
Wen Yiqing was confused: "Shan Shan?"
In the past, when he was in Yuncheng, Shanshan really didn't want his stepfather. But now I have changed my mind.
Her mother's parents were in the capital. She originally thought that with her parents by her side, her mother would never be bullied again. But the third aunt still bullied her mother. Grandma was partial and only helped her third aunt, not her mother.
When she was at home, Shanshan could follow her mother to protect her, but her mother wouldn't let her go out casually. If my mother was bullied outside, Shanshan wouldn't be able to protect her.
When she looked at Sun Wukong today, she felt extremely envious. If she had magical powers like Sun Dasheng, she would not be afraid of any monsters or monsters that stood in front of him. But she herself is such a small child, she can't do anything, and she is not taller than her mother.
"If you had a father, no one would bully you anymore." Shanshan said, "Mom, how about you get my father back."
Wen Yiqing paused.
Her expression became a little unnatural, and her eyes wandered away. Fortunately, Shan Shan was the only one in the room, so no one noticed her discomfort.
She brushed the fallen hair behind her ears: "Didn't I tell you before? Your father is dead and can't be brought back."
"Mom is lying."
"I did not lie to you."
Shanshan retorted seriously: "If dad died, why would you never worship dad when you take me to worship my grandfather and the others every Qingming Festival?"
"..."
Although he is always called a little fool by his mother, he is kind and smart.
"My dad's not dead, he's just lost, right?"
Even though her father was never mentioned at home, Shanshan would secretly look in the mirror, and when she looked at herself, she could imagine what her father looked like.
He must be very similar to Shan Shan, and he must be as powerful and powerful as Sun Dasheng!
But……
"Mom, where is my father?"
Wen Yiqing was speechless for a moment.
Her eyes fell into the distance, watching in concentration.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the evening glow has dissipated, leaving only a bit of beautiful and dreamy skylight shining in through the carved flowers. The room was already brightly lit by candlelight.
The lights were like beans, reflecting her gentle and soft face, and her black hair hung like clouds on the side of her neck, like a silent beauty.
"What do you think about him?" She said softly: "He is a liar."
