Mrs. Wu just strode forward and knocked off Sister Yao's chubby hand. She said in a depressed mood: "I told you that Sister Yao's body is not fully recovered yet. I have been causing trouble for Sister Yao all morning. I should have known better." You are so disobedient, I won’t bring you here this time!”
Mrs. Wu felt depressed, and she, who was always gentle and virtuous, accidentally vented her anger on the young girl. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Sister Yao pouting her little mouth, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes and refused to fall.
Wu turned her head and said to the maid: "Take Yaoyao back."
After a pause, he met the aggrieved eyes of his youngest daughter again. Finally he softened his heart and said patiently: "Yao Yao, be good, go with Sister Shutong first, and I'll talk to my eldest sister."
Liu Yaoyao slipped down from Liu Yingying's legs with twitching and grievance, and then took Shutong's hand. Just when she was about to follow Shutong down, Liu Yingying suddenly called Shutong.
Shutong held Liu Yaoyao and stopped. Liu Yingying got up from the chair, slowly walked to Liu Yaoyao and squatted down. She only used the handkerchief to wipe Yaoyao's fleshy face, and gently wiped it. She wiped all the little golden beans on her chubby face one by one. Finally, she touched Liu Yaoyao's head, pinched Liu Yaoyao's little face, curled her lips and said softly: "Okay. , don’t cry, don’t feel wronged, mother loves Yaoyao the most, mother is also a little seasick, this damn big ship makes mother’s head hurt, mother does not mean to be cruel to Yaoyao, Yaoyao, don’t blame mother ,OK?"
Liu Yingying patiently coaxed the little girl.
There are two sisters above Liu Yaoyao's head, and there are several older sisters, younger brothers and younger brothers in the family of her second uncle and third uncle. As a big family member of the Liu family, Liu Yaoyao naturally doesn't get too much attention.
The second sister is busy playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and making friends all day long. The third sister is stingy and grumpy. They are much older than her and don't like to talk to her on weekdays. As for the two sisters from the uncle's family, they all work together because of their status as merchants. Because the small group deliberately isolated her, Liu Yaoyao became a loner since she was a child. In the past, she could only play with the maids in the mansion.
But after the eldest sister appeared, everything was different. Her mother took her to the garden every now and then to visit her eldest sister. The eldest sister was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, she spoke softly and softly, and her body was fragrant and soft. What's more, the key is that he was so nice to her. She made origami kites for her, took her to fly a kite in the yard, bought her candied haws, and even took her to pick fruits and shovel snowmen. Every time she went there, Liu Yaoyao couldn't bear to come back.
Liu Yaoyao likes her eldest sister so much.
Liu Yaoyao was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several days when she learned that she was going to her grandmother's house in Shandong with her eldest sister.
She would be hurt by her mother, and she felt wronged and guilty. She was wronged by her mother for hurting her, and felt guilty that she had disturbed her eldest sister.
But now that the eldest sister is coaxing her so gently, she doesn't feel aggrieved at all.
He only looked at Wu carefully, bit his lip and nodded towards Liu Yingying seriously, saying in a low voice: "Yao Yao doesn't blame mother, Yaoyao also loves mother."
After saying that, he immediately added: "Yao Yao also loves big sister."
When Liu Yingying heard this, she immediately laughed, her eyes slightly crooked, and she said with a smile: "Eldest sister also loves Yaoyao the most."
After a pause, he raised his hand and touched Liu Yaoyao's head and said: "Yaoyao promises eldest sister that she will listen to mother's words well in the future and take good care of mother for eldest sister... take good care of mother for eldest sister, okay?"
Liu Yingying gave instructions to the little girl in a warm voice.
Although the little girl was a little confused after hearing this, why did the elder sister ask her to take care of her mother for her?
It can be seen that Liu Yingying spoke seriously, as if she was treating her as a little adult, and she nodded solemnly.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu behind her immediately turned her face away, her eyes gradually turning red.
"good."
Liu Yingying tapped Yaoyao's little nose. Finally, she took a golden gourd the size of a thumb from her neck and put it on Liu Yaoyao's neck.
Liu Yaoyao finally turned from worry to joy. She lowered her head and fiddled with the little golden gourd around her neck happily, and followed Shutong as she jumped.
After Liu Yaoyao left, Mrs. Wu wiped away the moisture from the corner of her eyes by stroking her hair. She turned around and glared at Liu Yingying lightly and said, "Yaoyao is still young. You don't have much of anything on your body. You still want to use that golden gourd?" What did you give it to her for?"
Wu gently blamed Liu Yingying.
Liu Yingying smiled and said: "I have worn that little golden gourd since I was a child. After I lost my memory, I would touch it every night when I fell asleep and I wouldn't panic. Thanks to it, it has been with me for so many years and is a mascot. Now that I have grown up, I will let her protect Yaoyao while I am here."
Liu Yingying said warmly.
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she looked fond of her face and said, "That little gourd was hung around your neck by your grandmother when you were one year old. Mom remembers that when you fell asleep as a child, you had to hold something in your hands to sleep well, so your grandmother I went to the temple and begged you for such a golden gourd. You grabbed it and never let it go. Mom still remembers that Meng Geer snatched it from you when you were a child. You were so anxious that you broke Meng Geer's hand with a stone. My head, I didn’t expect so many years to pass by in a blink of an eye..."
As Wu recalled the past, her eyes gradually became gentle, and the corners of her mouth were unconsciously dyed with a gentle smile.
After saying that, the eldest daughter Yingying stood there with a slight smile, listening carefully to her description of her childhood, her eyes were patient and nostalgic.
At that moment, Wu seemed to see the young Yingying through the face that suddenly grew up in front of her.
Liu Yingying is the eldest daughter of the Wu family, her first daughter. She was conceived when her relationship with her husband was at its strongest. She is the first child that she has devoted her whole heart to and put the most love and effort into. It can be said that she is afraid of being held in her mouth. I held it in my hand for fear of falling.
But she made her pet peeve suffer a lot.
The cute and tender face of Yingying when she was a child overlapped with the beautiful and gentle face of Yingying in front of her, and finally became one face.
Looking at the familiar but slightly unfamiliar face in front of her, Wu's eyes couldn't bear it anymore for some reason, and suddenly turned red. After a while, she suddenly ran over and pulled her tightly. Liu Yingying clenched her hand in her hand, gritted her teeth, as if she had made some kind of decision, and said resolutely: "Ying'er, we won't go to the Shen family anymore, we won't go to the Shen family anymore, okay? You How about you go back to Shandong with your mother? We are not familiar with the Shen family. What should we do if we are wronged? That is not the place we should go to. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, we don’t care about them, mother. Let your grandmother find you a good family, okay?"
Wu's eyes were red, and she pulled Liu Yingying and said so.
Speaking of excitement, her long nails almost scratched Liu Yingying's delicate skin.
Unexpectedly, when Wu said this, there was a burst of noise outside.
There was a sound of treading on the deck.
Someone trotted over.
Not long after, the entourage of the third room excitedly reported outside: "There is a letter from the Shen family, there is a letter from the Shen family, Madam, the Shen family sent someone to greet-"
These words were like a thunderclap from the ground, instantly shocking the Wu family into confusion and being at a loss what to do.
Wu's mind went blank for a moment, and her hand holding Liu Yingying tightened, as if her fingers were about to be broken.
After hearing these words, her face turned pale, and she seemed to be running around in a hurry. She seemed to want to persuade Liu Yingying, but at this critical moment, she was too anxious to persuade Liu Yingying, and finally broke down in anxiety. He just turned his head and shouted angrily at the door: "I'm not going. My Ying'er is not going. If you want to go, you can go on your own -"
The entourage outside the door was stunned, and was so frightened that he immediately turned around and ran to report to the third master.
After Mrs. Wu finished scolding her, she sobbed on the spot. As if she couldn't bear it anymore, she just held Liu Yingying's hand tightly and broke down crying.
But the governor had already reached this point, and there was no room for maneuver on the matter. He was crying and clutching, and in the confusion, he didn't know what he thought of. He only held Liu Yingying's hand tightly, and told her with hazy eyes: "Don't listen to you." Uncle and uncle, you must not become a concubine. If you really can't find the one you want, you must not force yourself to be wronged. You know, my mother's trip to Shandong will take up to three months. When she returns, she will come to pick you up——"
"Ying'er, remember, you are not without a way out. Mother agreed to send you to the Shen family this time, not just to send you to change your father's future. The road in Yuncheng is not easy. Mother is I hope you can take multiple paths and make multiple choices. If you are lucky enough to find a suitable one in the Shen family, my mother will risk her life to help you. But if you really can’t find it, remember, you still have your mother. If you can't find what you want, it doesn't matter if my mother has risked her life to raise my son for the rest of her life."
"Don't blame your father. It's my mother who is incapable of giving birth to a son for the Liu family. She has no right to stop them—"
Mrs. Wu pulled Liu Yingying and cried until she was out of breath.
Finally, I didn't know what I thought of, but I quickly took out a stack of banknotes from my sleeve and secretly stuffed them into Liu Yingying's sleeve.
Just at this time, the third master knocked on the door outside, with uncontrollable excitement and joy in his voice——
"Have you packed everything, sister-in-law? Someone from the Shen family is here. The Shen family personally sent someone to greet them."
Chapter 005
The rain had just stopped, and the air was still filled with a fresh and moist smell after the rain.
There are people coming and going at the ferry, including workers unloading goods on their backs, boatmen hoisting sails and anchoring, pedestrians carrying baggage, and hawkers shouting at the ferry...
After coming out of the cabin, walking to the deck and looking under the ship, I saw that the entire ferry was filled with people and was very lively.
As expected of Qingyuan, it seemed even more prosperous and lively than Yuanling City, let alone Yuncheng.
In the crowded ferry, there is a particularly conspicuous place. Pedestrians passing by are automatically diverted to avoid that place several feet away. Even if a playful child accidentally approaches, the parents will immediately sound the alarm and pull the child away. Hold on tight and avoid quickly.
I saw a carriage parked at the very front and center of the ferry. The carriage had a purple surface and gold patterns, and the two horses went hand in hand. It looked luxurious and magnificent. It was surrounded by seven or eight guards and servants. The passing people saw this. They were hiding and walking away.
In front of the carriage, a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old stood there, looking forward in this direction. He was tall and tall, with a powdered face, red lips and white teeth, a golden crown on his head, and a brocade robe. He was wearing a uniform, holding a folding fan in his hand, and he was fanning it leisurely. From a distance, he looked dignified and handsome, elegant and handsome, a dignity rarely seen in the world of Yuncheng.
At a glance, you can tell that he is a noble descendant of this high-class family in Qingyuan.
The man raised his eyes carelessly, looking back and forth among the merchant ships along the coast from time to time, as if waiting for someone, which made people curious about what kind of person he was, who could take the trouble to welcome such a noble young master personally.
Just as Wu was looking curious, Liu Xianghuai, the third master of the Liu family, came over excitedly and said happily: "Look, the Shen family actually sent the young master of the house to pick him up in person. position, it shows how much they value our Liu family!"
When the third master said these words, the fat on his face trembled with excitement, and his whole face turned red. As soon as he finished speaking, his saliva flew everywhere, and his temper was almost thrown at Mrs. Wu's face.
However, Mrs. Wu didn't have time to care about these trivial matters. Instead, after hearing the third master's words, her face immediately showed a look of surprise and even shock, and asked again and again: "You said... that's who came to pick us up?" ?”
Wu's eyes were filled with disbelief.
It was unexpected that the Shen family was able to reply to the letter. Unexpectedly, the younger members of the family were actually sent to greet him. It was really flattering.
Seeing that Mr. Wu didn't believe it, Mr. Liu San patted his thigh and immediately pointed to the figure of the noble young master at the ferry: "That's right, that is the second son of the Shen family. He came to greet us in person. How about that? He's noble enough." After all, the magnificence is not the same as that of us peddlers and lackeys. Look at the style of gold and jade, look at the appearance and bearing, tsk tsk, I am afraid that the princes and nobles in the capital are nothing more than this, our sister Ying If you can climb up to this level——"
The third master sighed repeatedly. When he got excited, he forgot about the doorknob on his lips for a moment. He just got excited and subconsciously brought the topic to Liu Yingying. However, he realized it halfway through the sentence and closed his eyes with a look of resentment. He opened his mouth and immediately changed his words in embarrassment: "Let's go, let's hurry up, don't make the young master wait for a long time."
After saying that, before Wu and Liu Yingying could react, they immediately hunkered down and got off the boat. They couldn't help but secretly regret in their hearts. They didn't expect the Shen family to be so polite and courteous. At first, they thought that the Shen family was too prosperous to know how to do it. He paid no attention to these unrelated "distant relatives", but he never expected that not only did he pay attention to them, but he actually greeted them with courtesy. He was indeed a rich and powerful family, and he deserved the prosperity and fame of such a family!
If I had known this, I should have walked around more with the Shen family. I have been blind for so many years and missed so many good opportunities!
Seeing the excitement of the third master, Liu Yingying couldn't help but glance down the boat. Just then, the noble man at the ferry seemed to be looking in the direction of their merchant ship from a distance. Liu Yingying lowered her eyebrows and immediately looked away. .
Next to her, Mrs. Wu stood up on her tiptoes and raised her eyes to look carefully at the face of the noble young master at the ferry. The more she looked, the darker the color of her eyebrows became lighter, replaced by overflowing lights.
This is... the young father-in-law of the Shen family?
Sure enough, this youngster of the Shen family is different. With such a name, even the whole city of Yuncheng might not be able to pick out even a few. Even when he was a child, even in Shandong, he couldn't pick out a few. I'm afraid. Only the capital city can nurture such a good person among people. He is worthy of being a noble son of the Shen family. One glance can make people unable to take their eyes away.
When I put it in Wu's boudoir, I was probably going to blush when I saw it.
Guidao had been shopping in Yuncheng for more than half a year, but he couldn't find anyone he was satisfied with. He was afraid that if he really agreed to the two-bedroom and three-bedroom house, this is where Yingying should come.
Even though the Liu family was from a humble family, compared to the Shen family, they were in the sky and on the ground, but in the eyes of Wu, she truly believed that only someone with such a name could be worthy of her eldest daughter Yingying.
Thinking like this, Wu's worries all along the way gradually and inexplicably dissipated at this moment. Seeing that the Shen family treated each other with such courtesy, she thought that if Yingying stayed in the Shen family next time, she would not be treated harshly. Her tense thoughts seemed to collapse at this moment.
Wu was thinking this secretly in her mind, but even so, she knew that it was not the business that was catching up.
Turning her face, she faced the eldest daughter's tightly covered face. Wu couldn't help but stand on tiptoes, and personally pulled the veil on her eldest daughter's face a little tighter. She held Liu Yingying's hand tightly for a while, After taking a long breath, he slowly said: "Let's go, let's... go there, don't make people wait for too long."
Liu Yingying nodded towards Wu.
The mother and daughter were helped out of the boat slowly.
As soon as they came down, they saw the third master groveling in front of the noble young master, nodding and bowing, saying something lively. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Wu and her daughter.
Not long after, I saw the noble young master smiling slightly, looking towards Wu and his daughter from a distance. After taking a steady look, he quickly put away the folding fan in his hand, and then strode towards them. Welcomed here.
Before anyone arrived, the hearty and hilarious laughter had already spread -
"cousin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his long and slender legs took a few steps to Liu Yingying.
The behavior in front of her was too unexpected. Liu Yingying had just got off the boat. She was in a daze due to seasickness, and because she had just landed ashore, her legs and feet were still a little soft. When she landed, she felt like she was stepping on a soft ball, giving her a feeling of weightlessness. Before she could stand still, this strange figure came over with a familiarity. The two stood face to face, so close that they were only an arm's length away from Liu Yingying.
The other party's noble and handsome face flickered in front of Liu Yingying, and after a while, it slowly changed into two faces. Liu Yingying subconsciously tightened the handkerchief and took half a step back, feeling something bad in her heart.
The other party's move also shocked Wu.
Now, is the young master of the Shen family so... hospitable? The other party was so enthusiastic that Wu didn't expect it. After being stunned for a moment, Wu quickly calmed down and felt happy. She just smiled and was about to say something to be flattered, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't even blink. He glanced at the Wu family for a moment and a half, and all his eyes were focused on Liu Yingying beside him. Seeing that Liu Yingying didn't speak, he couldn't help but smile and continue to ask: "What? Don't you remember my cousin?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yingying up and down, and then said with a smile: "Why are you wrapped so tightly? What? Are you sick? Or are you seasick?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly raised his eyes and looked around, looking again and again behind Wu's mother and daughter, with a slight smile on her lips, and then said: "By the way, where is Zizhan?"
