"Speaking of which, my daughter is quite envious of Meng Shu." Princess Wei said with a bitter look on her face.
"Who wouldn't envy a child who is doted on by his parents? Most of us ladies from aristocratic families would make some weird remarks when mentioning Meng Shu's mother, Mrs. Lu. In fact, it's because they say grapes are sour because they can't eat grapes. What's the benefit of staying in the capital? They seem to be in a good mood, but they are far apart from each other. As time goes by, let alone the love between husband and wife, I am afraid that they have no place at all in each other's hearts. "
"That's all I want. Mother must help Eighth Sister choose a good husband." Princess Wei said with a smile.
"Sister." Song Qingfang suddenly blushed.
"Of course, you can't count on your father. Your mother will plan for you and protect you." Mrs. Lin said softly.
The mother and daughter talked in low voices and went to the yard.
……
Princess Wei's physical condition was better than Meng Shu expected, which showed that she was not an unconventional person, but it did surprise Meng Shu.
However, if you marry someone like King Wei and have a mother-in-law like the Queen Mother, if your heart is not strong enough, you may die quickly.
"Miss, shall we go back home?" Su Ye asked on the carriage.
"The weather is nice today. Since we have gone out, let's go shopping and buy some food for the second sister later." As for Meng Yan and Meng Xian, there is no need to send food, anyway, the sixth aunt never eats in the house The things given by the servants are either rewarded to the servants or secretly thrown away. It is really a waste.
"Buy more soft snacks. I will accompany my mother to the Lu family tomorrow to visit my grandfather." Meng Shu added.
She went to the deer paddock for half a month, but she didn't even visit her grandfather who was suffering from a stroke.
It's time to go.
The master and servants chatted and laughed. When they arrived at the very famous study in Beijing, Meng Shu got off the carriage.
I heard that there were a lot of books in this study, and there were even many unique hand-written books. Meng Shu had nothing to do, so she happened to go and take a look.
She picked a few miscellaneous books for herself, two medical books, and one each for Meng Yan and Meng Xian.
She heard from her mother that the sixth aunt's family were all scholars, and they were both scholars. They were from a serious scholarly family. Therefore, the sixth aunt loved reading. The third sister and the west sister had been exposed to it since childhood, and they did not know how to ride and shoot martial arts. I learned poetry well. In addition to embroidering, I also read poetry books on weekdays.
Aunt Six raised her two daughters according to the standards of those aristocratic families in the capital when selecting daughters-in-law.
I'm not saying that others are wrong, everyone has their own plans.
Meng Shu thought that if she wanted to give food to her second sister Meng Wan, she would buy books for the two sisters. She could not favor one over the other.
At least a bowl of water needs to be on the table to maintain harmony in the family.
After the election, Meng Shu was about to leave when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Sister Meng..."
Meng Shu turned around and saw that it was Shen Caiwei, the third daughter of the Shen family. She was also here to buy books. The maid was holding several books in her hands.
"Ms. Meng." Shen Jiachuan, who was standing beside his sister, also raised his hands and saluted.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Shen." Meng Shu returned the greeting with a smile.
After so many days, I didn't expect to meet these two brothers and sisters here.
I didn’t see them during this trip to the deer paddock.
Perhaps the brother and sister were not good at riding and shooting, so they did not follow their father to the paddock.
"Sister Meng also came to buy books, what a coincidence." Shen Caiwei smiled sweetly: "Didn't Wan'er go out with her sister?"
"Second sister will learn to read the account book from third aunt today." Meng Shu said with a smile.
She left home early and had to go to the Song family first to treat Princess Wei. Of course, it was difficult for Meng Wan to follow her.
What's more, that girl will get married next year, and her third aunt is teaching her housekeeping and accounting. I'm afraid she's very busy recently.
"I see. Then I'll go find her another day, just to give her a break. Wan'er's temperament is the most unfettered." Shen Caiwei's eyes lit up when she talked about Meng Wanlai. The two of them had known each other since childhood. They became friends, and she understood Meng Wan.
Meng Shu nodded with a smile, exchanged a few words with her, and left with Su Ye and the others.
"Second brother, it's getting late today. Second brother is still busy reading books. I won't delay second brother. Let's go back home!" Shen Caiwei turned around and said.
She went out to buy books today. Her mother was worried about her safety, so she not only asked her to bring a few more guards, but also asked her second brother to accompany her.
"Second brother..." Seeing that he was still looking in the direction Meng Shu left, Shen Caiwei couldn't help but shout again.
"Well...what did you just say?" Shen Jiachuan asked.
"I said, second brother, you shouldn't wear these clothes when you go out today." Shen Caiwei teased him deliberately.
Hearing this, Shen Jiachuan's face was full of astonishment: "Why?"
"Because the second brother looks better in light cyan. The clothes he wears now make him look too old, and the little girl doesn't like it." Shen Caiwei said with a wink.
"I...I just went out to buy books with you, not to meet the little girl. Have you finished buying? I also want to warm up the books. Go back after buying them." Shen Jiachuanjun blushed and coughed lightly.
"Yeah!" Shen Caiwei nodded, but she didn't clarify her words clearly.
After what happened last time, although her temper is still lively, she is much more sensible and cautious than before.
Some words, just click on them.
She discovered that her second brother might have a crush on Meng Shu, otherwise with his temperament, he would not stare at a girl's back.
You know, the second brother used to only have eyes for women. He only knew how to read every day and never paid attention to any woman.
Now I feel enlightened.
Unfortunately, Meng Shu received the Luanfengtou Noodles as a reward from the Queen Mother, which meant that the royal family had chosen Meng Shu. Although they did not explicitly say who she would marry, no one dared to come to propose marriage.
I have to say that the Queen Mother is really willful.
While Princess Wei is still alive, people have decided on the candidate for the next daughter-in-law. Her abbreviation makes people speechless.
"Sister Meng is so nice, it's a pity..." Shen Caiwei couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Jiachuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said after a moment: "Let's go back home first."
"Okay, okay, I listen to my second brother. He is so good. I'm afraid he will get the top prize next year and shine." Shen Caiwei said with a smile.
Although her brother is powerful, he probably won't win the top prize.
Shen Jiachuan said nothing when he heard this.
Shen Caiwei glanced at him in surprise, could her brother really have this ability?
The brother and sister stopped talking and left the study.
……
When Meng Shu returned home in the afternoon, she found that there were many boxes and cages in her mother's yard, and maids were coming in and out, loading things.
It seems that the mother has already agreed with the grandmother to go to Guiyun City, and is letting the maids pack their bags.
"Shu'er is back!" Mrs. Lu was about to send her maid to wait at the second door. As soon as her daughter came back, she sent someone to invite her to come and talk to her.
In a few days, she will go to Guiyun City.
"Mother, my daughter bought some snacks that grandpa and grandma like to eat. Let's go to the Lu family tomorrow!"
