The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 105
When seeing Mrs. Shen in the Jixiang Tea House, An Xu thought in a trance that he saw a strong career woman. The old lady was actually not very old, she looked less than 50 years old.

And the thing about her that resembles a strong woman most is the attitude of wanting to control everything in her hands.

"I've seen the old lady," An Xu saluted.

Today, she is wearing a green gauze smock, which is dotted with small and delicate embroidery, and a pure white embroidered green leaf skirt under the inner cover, which is neither too ostentatious nor simple.

More importantly, Shen Xiao was also wearing a Tsing Yi.

Old Mrs. Shen put away the scrutiny in her eyes, nodded with a smile and said, "Get up. I often hear my grandson praise you. When I saw you today, you are really different from an ordinary girl."

An Xu looked at Shen Xiao beside him, and Shen Xiao smiled and said, "Grandmother, don't praise her."

Mrs. Shen smiled inexplicably, you really thought it was a compliment to her.

"Sit down," she pointed to the seat in front of her, "Jixiang Tea House has an elegant name, but there is no good tea, and I was picky about it, so I brought some from home. Junshan Yinzhen is preserved by famous people with secret methods , Nine years and nine months, the fragrance is the mellowest and strongest."

While talking, the maid next to Mrs. Shen had already made the tea with skillful techniques, and then, under the signal, first held a cup and handed it to An Xu.

An Xu didn't understand, tea should be like wine, does it get better with age?But she still knows that when receiving tea, there must be rules. After receiving the tea with both hands, she has to taste it slowly if she doesn't understand the tea.

A smile flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Shen, the tea-making maid she brought couldn't practice at home, and the look of disdain on her face was about to be revealed in an instant.

An Xu glanced at the master and servant, put down his teacup and said, "It's delicious."

Mrs. Shen finally couldn't help it, she laughed out loud, and said: "You child, after drinking for a long time, is there only these two words? When you taste tea, you should taste it by its fragrance and color."

An Xu smiled, and said frankly, "I'm not very good at writing short essays."

Mrs. Shen was taken aback for a moment, and looked at her grandson who couldn't help laughing.

Shen Xiao explained: "Xu'er is saying that she can only drink, not boast."

Mrs. Shen: To put it bluntly, don’t you just understand nothing?
"Then, you really have to bite the bullet and learn. When you really come to our Shen family, you will be the eldest grandwife, and the whole inner house will be handed over to you. You have to deal with people and things, and you have to do everything. Otherwise, you won't lose face alone." Mrs. Shen said with a serious expression on her face.

An Xu heard one head and two big ones. She didn't know the difference between the way a wealthy family treats people and the shopping malls, as long as it can make the guests feel comfortable.

Is this still worth learning?
After a while, the snacks from the tea house came, and Mrs. Shen also asked An Xu to taste them first.

An Xu had already eaten the day before yesterday, and she can tell a lot about cooking skills, and she was thinking that if the other party asked, she would be able to explain a few words.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen only took a sip, then tilted her head to the side, and the maid immediately sent it up with a plate.

After rinsing her mouth, Mrs. Shen said to An Xu: "Don't mind, I'm old, and I'm tricky to eat. The plum blossom cakes made in this shop are too complicated, and instead lose the most authentic fragrance of plum blossoms. These In [-], the world became more and more bad, and people were still clever. It was really unnecessary for a pastry to have this or that pattern. You are like this plum blossom, make some clear dew, make a plum blossom tea, which is better than not being so bad. "

Shen Xiao winked at her grandmother again and again, but she finished these words.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Shen asked, "Xiao'er, what's wrong with your eyes?"

If An Xu wanted to refute, he couldn't open his mouth.

Shen Xiao was helpless, and said with a smile: "It's okay, grandma, in fact, what you said just now is a bit biased, isn't the nine-year silver needle you like to drink also made by Shangqiao? Things in this world, It’s all from simplicity to enrichment.”

Mrs. Shen obviously didn't expect her grandson to be able to protect An Xu so much, she felt displeased for a while, and took the tea in front of her and drank it slowly.

An Xu secretly groaned when Shen Xiao was speaking, but now he didn't know what to do.

After taking two sips of tea, Mrs. Shen asked, "Miss An, what do you usually do at home?"

An Xu: Now that I usually research new foods at home, will it be taken as a provocation?

After thinking about it, he said: "There is nothing to do at home, so there is nothing serious to do."

"How did I hear that when you arrived at Zhuangyuan's Mansion, many merchants came to visit?" Mrs. Shen asked, "You still have contact with merchants?"

An Xu said, "I'm just in business, and I have some contacts on a daily basis."

Mrs. Shen snorted, and said with a smile: "Xiao'er didn't tell me about this. But I have to tell you one thing in advance, it is impossible for a family like us to let the mistress go out to do business. No. Although we can't force you to lose your business, you still have to think about your family's reputation."

When An Xu heard the words Xia Jiuliu, his expression changed from gentle to serious.After the other party had finished speaking, he said calmly, "Forgive me for not agreeing with the old lady's words. As far as I know, any noble family in the Ming Dynasty will set up one or two houses in the bustling streets if they have some power and wealth." The front of the shop. If the merchants are low-ranking, then the nobles who use the merchants to make money are lower than the low-ranking ones?"

"May I ask the old lady, where does the money for your family's daily life come from?"

Mrs. Shen was so questioned that she couldn't speak, she laughed and said: "You child, you have a sharp mouth."

The servant girl who had been standing beside her suddenly gave a salute and said, "Please allow me to say something more, a family like ours has countless manors, and there is absolutely no need to compete with small businessmen for profit."

Shen Xiao glanced coldly, "Master is speaking, do you have the right to intervene?"

The smile on Mrs. Shen's face disappeared in an instant, and she said to Shen Xiao: "Xianyou represents me, you don't even care about grandma."

After speaking, he got up, shook his sleeves and left.

Shen Xiao, who thought that meeting her grandmother and Xu'er would be very pleasant, has not yet realized how things turned out like this.

It seems that the atmosphere took a turn for the worse when grandma accidentally said that a businessman is a low-level businessman.

However, the grandmother's words were too biased, so he couldn't blame Xu'er for rebutting.

Shen Xiao felt acutely uncomfortable in a small space with spiked partitions on both sides.

An Xu glanced at Shen Xiao and found that his face was ugly. Thinking of his grandmother belittling her target from the beginning, he asked, "Do you think I shouldn't refute your grandmother?"

"No." Shen Xiao bowed his head, saw her bright eyes, felt pity and guilt in his heart, knelt down and said, "I know that grandma is a bit rigid, but I didn't expect her to look down on businessmen like this. I'm also to blame, no Make it clear to her at the beginning."

An Xu smiled, "You didn't make it clear, but you know that your grandmother doesn't like businessmen, and you want to wait until we get acquainted and find out that the other party is good, before we talk about it."

Shen Xiao smiled, and kissed her on the forehead, "Those who know me are also Xu'er."

An Xu was not as relaxed as he was, so he pushed him away and said, "You'd better go and make peace with your grandmother, don't let her dislike me, and beat the mandarin duck again."

"You", rubbing her smooth hair, Shen Xiao said: "My grandmother is a sensible person, she won't care about the younger generation just because of a few rude words."

An Xu looked at Shen Xiao, his expression was full of trust in his grandmother, and in his eyes, his grandmother was a sensible, kind old lady.

He trusts his grandmother very much.

An Xu felt that this was a big problem.

She is not a fool, Mrs. Shen's behavior today definitely does not like her as a grandson-in-law, even if she really does not stop her from marrying Shen Xiao, then she will definitely suffer a lot of trouble in the future.

I don't know why, but I thought of watching short videos in my previous life, and saw a short play about a mother-in-law playing tricks on her daughter-in-law.

The frightening thing is that Shen Xiao, a grandmother, is an irrelevant person in acting, and she can feel that she is very friendly to him.

Thinking back carefully just now, did Mrs. Shen treat herself too much?She was tolerant from the beginning to the end, but she seemed like she couldn't bear to refute her elders without saving face.

An Xu looked at Shen Xiao, and felt that he was even more handsome than when she first met him. She was reluctant to part with him, but she couldn't get close no matter what.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Shen Xiao stretched out his hand to cover her eyes.

An Xu shook his head and pulled his hand, "Don't stay here, go home."

"I'll take you back first," Shen Xiao said.

"I want to have some refreshments," An Xu said, "and I hope you can explain it to me. I don't want to upset your grandmother because of what you said just now."

Shen Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll go. I'll visit the Zhuangyuan Mansion in the afternoon."

An Xu nodded, and after he left, the magpie and partridge came in.

"Miss, why did Mrs. Shen leave?" Magpie asked.

An Xu said with a smile: "I didn't agree with each other, and my eyes didn't agree, so I left. Partridge, I really shouldn't have listened to Rong Guogong's words yesterday."

Because of those words, she felt that Mrs. Shen was not a simple person from the very beginning, so that she could hear a second meaning in every sentence.

Partridge squatted down and pinched the shoulders of the obviously tired lady, "Don't think so, maybe you don't listen to Rong Guogong's words, you won't be able to tell whether Mrs. Shen likes it or not at the moment, and you will notice it at the second and third." It came out. The most difficult thing to pretend is to show liking to someone you don’t like.”

Magpie whispered: "Yes, yes, before I followed Miss, I was so annoyed by the daughter brought by my stepmother that I wanted to goug out a piece of her flesh just by looking at her, but she didn't like me but insisted on pretending. She revealed her secrets several times before, but she still pretended, I feel bad for her."

After saying this, both An Xu and Partridge couldn't help laughing.

Thinking that there was an elder brother of the same mother in her family, An Xu asked: "Go home before you go to the capital, your stepmother and sister, what is your expression when they see you? Your brother is relieved."
