This son has caused her great pain since the day he was born. After she remarried, she pretended that she had never given birth to Shen You. Over the years, mother and son had very few opportunities to see each other. They were both used to this kind of alienation. cold.
Why did he suddenly come to her today?
Mrs. Qiu was much more enthusiastic than Mr. Jiang. She smiled quickly and said, "I'll take Rou'er Jie'er out for a walk and come back later."
With that said, he took Qiu Rou and Qiu Jie out. The maids in the inner hall also left one after another.
Qiu Jie was a little unhappy and muttered to his grandmother: "Grandma, why can't we stay in the inner hall? What does Shen You do to come to my mother?"
Mrs. Qiu glared at her precious grandson: "That's your brother! From now on, even in private, you can't call him random."
Qiu Jie reluctantly agreed. Apparently he didn't take his grandmother's words to heart.
Mrs. Qiu couldn't bear to scold her grandson anymore, and looked at Qiu Rou: "Rou'er, Jie'er is still young and not sensible. You are a big girl now, you need to know etiquette and etiquette."
"When your brother comes from now on, you have to take the initiative to call someone and talk to your brother. Do you hear me?"
Qiu Rou nodded obediently: "Rou'er has memorized everything grandma said." After a pause, she whispered: "But he looks so fierce and unwilling to pay attention to us."
Mrs. Qiu: "..."
Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in one day.
When Shen You was young, he didn't like to talk. Every time he came to Qiu's house, Jiang always looked as cold as ice. As Shen You grew up, he rarely came to Qiu's house.
Nowadays, even if I want to get close, I can’t get close!
Mrs. Qiu had a lot of mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it was like.
After a long while, Mrs. Qiu finally opened her mouth and said: "No matter what, blood and family ties are constantly being separated. You just need to get closer."
Qiu Rou whispered: "I saw that he didn't seem happy to see us."
Mrs. Qiu choked again.
Qiu Jie took over the conversation: "That's right, he didn't even look at me."
Mrs. Qiu glared at her grandchildren: "Shut up, everyone. After all, it's not all your mother-in-law's fault."
In the inner hall, mother and son faced each other in silence.
"Why did you come to me specifically?" Jiang was the first to speak.
Shen You looked at Jiang: "In more than a month, I will get married."
Jiang frowned.
Shen You got married two years ago and is the third daughter of the Feng family. When she heard about this, she felt that the Feng family was quite selfish. She insisted on letting her niece marry into the Shen family as a daughter-in-law, so that her aunt and nephew would be of the same mind.
That Miss Feng San has neither father nor mother, which shows that she is a person who is determined to resist her relatives.
However, as a remarried woman, it was not convenient for her to ask about the Shen family's affairs, so she said nothing.
Now, Shen You is about to get married, what does it mean to come here and ask her? Do you want her to make up for the betrothal gift?
When Jiang frowned, Shen You guessed Jiang's thoughts and said calmly: "Mrs. Qiu, there is no need to misunderstand. The marriage between Shaojun's cousin and I has been fully prepared, and there is no need for Mrs. Qiu to worry."
In other words, there is no need for her to provide gold or silver.
Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened a little.
I heard Shen You say: "On the day of the wedding, there were many guests. Mrs. Qiu didn't like the excitement, so it was inconvenient to show up. On the morning of the second day, the bride served tea and asked Mrs. Qiu to go to Shen's house to have a cup of tea before leaving. go."
Jiang: "..."
Baba ran over and it turned out that he was offering tea to the bride.
He really didn’t take his mother-in-law seriously at all!
Jiang felt a burst of anger coming from nowhere and glanced at Shen You fiercely.
Shen You looked back calmly.
Jiang said with a sullen face: "If the Shen family marries a bride, it doesn't matter if I, the Qiu family, are gone. Everyone will be embarrassed by then, so let's forget it!"
Probably because he had been disappointed too many times since he was a child, Shen You didn't feel angry when he heard Jiang's words, only a little guilty.
Don't get me wrong, this guilt is for Shaojun's cousin and has nothing to do with the Jiang family.
"Are you really not willing to go?" Shen You made one last effort: "Just go for half an hour and wait for Shaojun's cousin to offer you a cup of tea and drink the bride's tea."
Jiang refused and said nothing.
Shen You felt like his chest was blocked by something, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.
This trip today was in vain.
Shen You took a deep breath: "Since it's inconvenient for Mrs. Qiu, just pretend that I didn't say anything today."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jiang raised his eyes and watched Shen You's tall figure go away. Suddenly he realized that the gloomy boy in his memory had completely grown up.
As a biological mother, she seems to have missed a lot.
…
After Shen You came out of Qiu Mansion, he rode his horse to Cui Mansion.
The horse galloped, and the cool wind blew on his face, blowing away most of the sullenness and anger in his heart.
Entering Cui's house, Shen You's cold heart suddenly warmed up when he saw the amiable Mr. Xu and his enthusiastic and hearty cousin Cui Yuanhan.
Soon, Shaojun's cousin also came out.
In early spring, the weather is still a bit cool. Shaojun's cousin has already put on a newly made bright spring dress, with a smile on her face and Tingting, who looks like a hibiscus.
It's eye-catching and heart-warming.
"Cousin Shaojun," with Cui Yuanhan of the Xu family present, Shen You could only stand three feet away and bow his hands.
Feng Shaojun smiled slightly and bowed, "Bless me, cousin."
That's right, the two of them have been meeting like this for the past three months.
Shen You missed his cunning, cunning and enthusiastic cousin Shaojun very much. Even when he was pretending to be Eunuch Feng, he was not so rude and polite.
Xu and Cui Yuanhan had no intention of withdrawing or letting them be alone in the room, so that was all they could do.
Shen You hesitated for a moment and then told him about going to Qiu's house.
Mrs. Xu was not surprised: "Mrs. Qiu is a second-married person. It is indeed inconvenient to go to the Shen family. There is no need to force it."
It's just one less cup of tea, but it doesn't really matter.
Jiang's unwillingness to come would save him a lot of trouble.
This is because Jiang himself refuses to drink his wife's tea, so he won't be able to show off any money from his mother-in-law in the future.
fine.
Mr. Xu was so tolerant and generous, Shen You felt a lot more relaxed. He looked at Feng Shaojun and whispered: "If this happens, I will wrong you. I'm afraid there will be some gossip."
Feng Shaojun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You have a mouth on other people's faces. If you want to gossip, you will always make a lot of gossip. Even if Mrs. Qiu went to the Shen family, she would still be gossiped about."
"It's just right now, both of us are relaxed."
She had no intention of having anything to do with Jiang.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's rare for Shiro to come over, so I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a table of good food. I'll come back after lunch."
The auspicious day for Shen Jia's marriage is coming soon. It's rare for him to take a break, so he should go back and take a look early, maybe he can help.
