After the ancestors fell

Chapter 47
Shen's mother is over 60 years old and has a healthy body. The most proud thing in her life is not marrying a poor scholar as the daughter of a butcher, but also raising a third-rank official.

She is shrewd and knows how to endure.Her father, Wang Butcher, once said that if he hadn't been a daughter, his daughter would even have the ability to become a prince and minister.

Although she was born in a poor family and had a difficult life in her early years, Shen's mother is a person with ambition. Through her planning, she has grown from a commoner in the market to a scholarly family, and then from a poor family to a small fortune.This is all due to her.

Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person.

This sentence is often said by her. She thinks that she has done something that many women can't do. At this time, those young ladies who are addicted to love all day long, she is a truly successful woman.

It's a pity that in her smooth life, she once suffered a severe setback.

Back then, their mother and son were plotted against by Mu Yuanwai, and her good son changed from a married wife to a married man, entered the family tree of another family, and became a married son-in-law.

Although her son took revenge later, this incident became the biggest stain in her perfect life.

"Alas..." Mother Shen waved away the maid who was beating her legs, and suddenly sighed, she didn't know what happened recently, she kept thinking about the past.

"Old lady, the uncle is here."

Outside the door, the voice of a servant girl reporting respectfully came out.

With the support of the two maidservants, Shen's mother immediately sat down from the bed and smiled happily, "Come in, please!"

When Shen Yuanhui saw his mother, he greeted him respectfully, "It's good for mother to come in, you are in good health!"

Seeing her son, Shen's mother's previous sighs dissipated immediately, and she smiled and directed the servant girl to serve tea and snacks, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that you have lost weight after a few days. Even if you are busy with business, you You should also take care of yourself. Later, I will ask someone to give you a bowl of ginseng soup to make up for you."

Chattering, the mother and son talked physically for a while, and suddenly Shen's mother changed the subject and said that it was an heir, "Speaking of which, you will soon reach the age of forty, and other people's families will be full of children and grandchildren if they think of you, but we There are only two children in the family, Hao'er and Chen'er, alas..."

"It's all sons who are unfilial and ashamed of their ancestors." Seeing his mother's sadness, Shen Yuanhui got up and pleaded guilty.

"Sit, sit, okay, what are you doing?" Mother Shen gave her son a scolding look, and motioned him to continue sitting, "It's a happy event for you to come today."

As he spoke, he gave the nurse in charge beside him a look.

The nanny understood and smiled and went to the inner room. When she came out, she was followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman.The woman's figure does not look exquisite, but she is extremely healthy.

Shen Yuanhui had some understanding in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled, "What does mother mean?"

Shen's mother smiled and looked at the woman behind the nanny, as if looking at a rare treasure, she turned her head and said to her son, "I have asked many times about this woman, and I found it for you."

"Oh?" Shen Yuanhui was puzzled, but still flattered: "I let mother bother."

With a proud face, Shen's mother pointed at the woman and said to her son, "Don't look at her as charming as those in your yard, but she has one advantage that those women can't compare to!"

"Mother, please clear up the confusion!" Shen Yuanhui was as obedient as he was kind, with an expression of humbly asking for advice.

Shen's mother said: "This woman's mother gave birth to five sons and three daughters. Her eldest sister married for five years and gave birth to three sons. The second sister got married last year. I heard that she has given birth to a fat boy. You say this woman Is it better than the ones in your yard?"

"Yes... yes, yes" Shen Yuanhui nodded, while looking at the women in the hall, who were of average figure and appearance, subconsciously repelled them.

Knowing the son is not like the mother, Shen's mother knew that he was dissatisfied when she saw his son's expression, her eyes were red, she persuaded her, and softened her eyes with a handkerchief, "I know you are good-looking, but you don't have many children under your knees, what face will I have?" How about going to see your ancestors?"

Shen Yuanhui stood up, "Mother, don't worry, the son will obey."

Only then did Shen's mother turn her grief into joy, and happily let her son lead the girl away.

After her son left, Shen's mother stopped the smile on her face and asked the mother beside her, "What did Mrs. Xing do today?"

"Go back to the old lady, the lady took the young lady to Fanghua Zhai early this morning."

"Hmph!" Shen's mother sneered, and put the tea bowl in her hand heavily on the coffee table, "It's just a girl's film, and she has been spoiled like a princess, and I don't see how much she cares about Hao'er."

Nanny knew Shen's mother's temperament very well, so she didn't dare to persuade her, "Madam, calm down."

Shen's mother sat on the couch in silence for a while, and suddenly ordered her servants, "Go and get the account books from the mansion, and call the shopkeepers from all the shops."

Mammy was a little embarrassed, and hesitated: "Madam, it's been less than a month since the last audit. If we audit the accounts again now, will Madam..."

There was a crash, and a teacup shattered in front of the mother.

Mother Shen's face was full of anger, "Is she your master, or am I your master, but who do you listen to?"

"Old madam calm down," the nanny hurriedly kowtowed, "forgive me, old master, this servant will ask someone to fetch the account book."

Not to mention the hustle and bustle of Shen's mansion, Fanghua Zhai is also bustling here.

Fanghuazhai is located on Guangji Street next to Zhuque Street in Shengjing City. It is not as prosperous as Chang'an Street, nor as solemn as Zhuque Street, but it is one of the favorite places for wealthy families in the capital to stop.

Because there are the most expensive jewelry, the most exquisite food, and the most luxurious restaurants in the whole capital, which attract the rich and noble families in the whole capital.

The Yage Pavilion on the third floor is where Fanghuazhai specially rests and chooses jewelry for noble women.

Shen Yunyan looked at the exquisite jewelry on the plate, he liked them all, and didn't know which one to choose for a while.

Now it is different from before, although Shen's family was not as good as it is now in the early years, but when their family property was rich and grandmother relied heavily on mother, they would not be so harsh as they are now.

The Xing family is in charge of the family business, and can buy whatever they want, unlike today when buying a hairpin and being talked about by grandma for several days.

Money, money, money, money all day long.

Thinking of her grandmother's reprimand all day long, Shen Yunyan felt very resentful about it.

While worrying, a young woman came up, followed by a servant girl.

The woman looked good, but she was dressed in an indescribable way. She was wearing gold ornaments. Although the material of the clothes looked precious, the style was very old-fashioned, and she didn't know the style of that year.

Country girl!

Shen Yunyan tilted her head, pursed her lips, and quietly despised that woman.

Opening the door to do business, and entering the door is a lesson, not to mention that this girl doesn't seem to be short of money.

The shopkeeper's attitude is very enthusiastic, "The girl looks strange, but this is the first time?"

Mu Hongfei nodded, and made a point of expressing the coquettish and arrogant performance of the local rich lady, "Take out all the best jewelry you have here!"

There was a smile on the shopkeeper's face, "Wait a minute, girl!"
